day. Smitten with the love of quick gain, our cities are crowded with men resolved to be rich at all hazards. They do not care how money comes. Our best merchants are thrown into competition with men of more means and less con- science, and if an opportunity of accu- mutation be neglected one hour some Ons else picks it up. From January to gives no quiet to limbs tossing in rest lessness, nor to brain that will not stop thinking. The dreams are narrowed by imaginary loss and flashed with imagi- nary gains. Even the Sabbath cannot dam back the tide of anxiety, for this wave of worldliness dashes clear over the churches and leaves its foam on Bibles and prayer books.
 Men who are living on salaries or by the culture of the soil cannot under stand the wear and tear of body and mind to which our merchants are sub jected when they do not know but that their livelihood and their business honor are dependent upon the uncertainties of the next hour. This excitement of the brain, this corroding care of the heart, this strain of effort that exhausts the spirit, sends great many of our best men in midlife to the grave. They find that Wall street does not end at the East river. It ends at Greenwoodl Their life dashed out against money safes. They go with their store on their backs. They trudge like camels, sweating from Aleppo to Damascus. They make their life crucifxion. Standing behind desks and counters, banished from the fresh air, weighed down by carking cares, they are so many suicides.
 Oh, Iwish could today rub out some of thsse lines of care; that could lift some seths bzxdsns fro1n the hsartj thas 1eeuld

grounds, and practically adapted
to utilize every foot of space that
it occupies. 1t stands few feet
above the level Of the track and
from its bar floor affords a good
view Of the track over the heads OF
those who invariably crowd to the
pickets as the heat closes.
The track is coming into cOndi-
ton as fast as good work and driv-
ing can bring it. 1t has been a
difficult and somewhat costly con-
structiOn, but 1t has been well
supervised and when in shape will
be the best half-mile track in the
south. 1t is broad, well-tenCed on
the outside, thoroughly drained
and will be fast track when in
condition. Another thorough
wetting and rolling will bring it
into good shape, with the other
work that is daily expended upon
it.
AS the LIGHT was making its
inspection yesterday there were
several trainers upon the track,
and quite a bevy of gentlemen
from the city were pre- sent taking
notes Of moves and quietly con-
Guiding as to the issue Of possible
events. The grounds presented a
very busy scene and will until the
gates are opened for the races,
when the rush will begin. Only
another week remains for pro
paratOry work, but that week will
see great many changes.

JOCKEY CLUB GROUNDS
THE PROGRESS AND NOTES
OF PREPARATIONS.
The Most Beautiful Racing Park
Ever Opened in the State of
Texas.

Under the good guidance Of Sec-
rotary Hooper of the Jockey club
the LIGHT was shown over the
grounds yesterday and given am
pie opportunity for a thorough in
spectiOn Of the improvements.
These are we'll advanced toward
completion and when the races
open everything will be in con-
ditiOn.
The first thing that attracts atten-
ton is the solid nature of all the
constructions ;fenceS, stables, walks,
grand and judges stand. These
are built to remain. The fences
are finished and the painters are at
work upon them giving them a
coat preventative. The grand en-
trance gate, ticket office and turn
styles are we'll under way and
workmen We're busy upon the
gravelled walk that runs from the
entrance to the grand stand. The
judges stand is completed and
is model structure for the uses
to which it will be devoted
The stables for 200 horses are
ready, and several of them are
now filled. BY this time next week
there will not be a vacant one
upon the grounds. These "homes
for horses" are rOOmy, well ventil.
ated, supplied with water and
good clay floors. They line the en-
tire north side of the grounds and
stretch well up the western limit.
A beautiful natural grove of
young trees occupies the interior
angle Of the al" which they form,
and in a few years this will be one
of the most beautiful parks in the
state. A broad, gravelled
roadway runs round the enclo-
sure, upon which all the stall
doors open, forming a solid drive
way in front of all the stables.
Some double stalls are built just
within the grounds, from this road
way, and just within the angle are
the kitchen and dining room for
the stable attendants, who cannot
leave the grounds. These stables
are weather proof, and can be made
very comfortable winter quarters
for several score horses. A stream
of living water from the springs
that form the San Antonio river
flows past the grounds on the
west.
The grand stand is daisy. Or
nate in appearance, built to give
the best view to the greatest num-
Der, it is solid enough to defy any
crowd that may be packed upon it.
1t will hold 1900 people, has pri.
Vate boxes for those who are will.
ing to pay for that luxury, mounts
its band just under the roof in
plain view Of the judges stand and
where the blare of trumpets, the
thunder of drums and the clash OF
cymbals will not sound too loudly
within the precincts of the grand
stand. RefreShment rooms with
chairs and tables are provided for
as well as a roOmy bar, pool stands
private closets, toilet rooms, etc
The means OF entrance and exit are
ample and well arranged, the APP
prOaches being double stairwavs
on all sides but the face. The angle
at which the seats are pitched give
full view of the course from any
position without rising. The struc.
ture itself is an ornament to the

DYING IN HARNESS.
A sohloquy by Maurice L. Hirsh-
berg.

DSFS.
The accumulation of wealth ; the
assurance of ease and comfort, is
the end for which all men strive ;
and after having attained the OBJ
jpct of their aspirations, how many
are these that rest on there laurels
and enjoy the fruits of their labOrs?
How many Of them still continue
in harness until they die and leave
the fruits of their laborsstO the er-
iOyment Of others?
The desire of possession is innate
in every man; the stars of ease and
comfort, the shining lights which
ever beckOn him onward and the
object at last attained, rests on his
lahOrs and shouts fms.
In conversation with a friend re-
Gently, who has, after thirty years
of incessant labor, accumulated a
fortune, gave voice to the following
sentiments, \ hich ! iterate here.
81 have attained the object for
which | have striven; a fortune
far beyond my needs, and | feel
like a fish out of water. | 60 aim
lessly about, at times, visiting
my former business friends, who in
their race for fortune, have not the
time to be disturbed by remini-
sciences of my past experiences, of
whose friendship they cannot now
benefit in a financial way, and
thus | Oftimes think of again en-
tering the ranks and repeat the
successes and adverses, the tri-
umphs and disasters which give
impetus to a business life"
For a long while I sat musing
upon what | had heard. Is
this then the ease and comfort
for which all men strive? Or is it
rather according to the tempera-
ment of the individual, that, after
life of activity and achieved sue
cess rest does not come, but must
continue to the end of mortality?
TO these the continued strife in
the arena of commerce is what the
fuel is to fire or water to the plants.
It's successes is the cOnsummatiOn of
effort, its reverses but an impetus
to further and renewed effort. To
some such men the idea Of posses
sion is paramount, and to others
the excitement consequent to a
life of activity is ample renumera-
ton for the efforts involved.

whA1 SHALL WE DRINK

when the rays of old Sol are boiling nj

What shall We drinkr
A beverage To meet the requirements,
must, first Of all, be absolutely pure aud

dlcinal element to counterfeit the effects
Of the heat and keep the blood pure and
the stomach healthful. In order 10 be
paiatable and refreshing, II should be
sparkling and efieryescent. Last but not

the reach Of all. A beverage that fully
meets all Of the above requirements and
one that Il entitled to more than passing

The SECT WITH the LONG NAME,
Church statistics ~ presented In the
cen.u. reports reveal some curious facts.
For example, Il I. probable that many
people we're not aware of the existence
of denomination called the sold Two
seed-ln-ths-Splrit Professionalism hap
lists" az that there are In Maine three
ORGANIZATIONS With rs members, bear
Ing this peculiar name. A recent census
balletin gives facts concerning tbs Two
Seed liaptlsts, from which u appear.
that the name comes from their belief
that there are two seeds. one OF death
and the other Of life. The former be-
came implanted In man nj the fall and
produces fruit ~ eternal death. The
other seed IL communicated by the Holy
spirit Ia those who are called and re-
generated, aud Il produces eternal life.
They are of course strong believers In
presle.tlnztion. There are tl5 organ
isations In the country, 1iJ "a church
edlfces and O,ai2 communicates. The
three Milne churches are In Lincoln and
Sagndahoc counties. Not one Of the
least peculiar facts h the fraction OF 4
church edlfcc that figures In the report.
The curious enquirer who examines the
details 90 Ind tbs Why and wherefore OF
this, discovers that Oaagr county, MIS-
souri,, reports oue-half Of . church edince,
aud Putnam county, West virginia,
third Of church edlhce, which being
added together makes nvosixths.
