Some Decorative Effects for Finishinl
Country Houses.

Some Decorative Effects for Finishing
Country Houses.
The new mantels for country houses
are quite generally to be found in
colonial effects, or in a modification OF
the empire style in white enamel In
the colonial dining rooms the mantel-
piece is rather high, finished in grace
full, classic designs of gold on surface
OF white enamel. The mantel is usual
ly surmounted by facing of mirrors.
This season these mirrors are usually
oval, large oval glass in the center
sometimes being hanked on either side
by smaller glasses in the same shape.
The cabinet overmantel, with its many
shelves and recesses for the display of
oric-a-brac, is quite thing of the past
In fashionable country houses.
The andirons are now usually made
OF bright, polished brass. The eccen-
tricities displayed few years ago
in "old brass" and oxydized brass
(Which was given the tint of age
by the use of acids) were intro
duced chiefly for the sparing of the
securing cloth. Happily for the artistic
effect OF the fireplace, the bright-pol-
its brilliancy. In elaborate parlors,
where the fireplace is intended solely
as an offering to the lares and penates,
and is altogether too elaborate for prac-
teal use, the fender, andirons and metal
fittings of the CRATE are often gilded;
but this gilt will not bear the fire like
the honest shining brass, which pre-
tends to be nothing but what it is. It
seems strange that in the nineteenth
century we should be setting up mock
hreplaces, but it is in keeping with
that most atrocious and unwholesome
OF all shams, the gas-log fire.
The tendency of the new andirons is
to gigantic height and size which is
out of keeping with anything but houses
of baronial dimensions. The shortest
andirons are those in rocco shape, a
mass of eccentric curves, not espe-
cially attractive. The simple brass
andirons of early colonial times
and the plain Queen Ann shapes
are the ones most used in brass
In country houses, with basket crate,
If coal is burned. Black iron and-irons
and tenders are used with colonial
mantels in the dining-rooms, libraries
and country halls. The facing of the
fireplace may be chosen in enameled
tiles in shaded blue, cream white or
pine white, or in any tint of color pre-
ferred. The figured tile is seldom used,
and the pretty Minton tile, which was
used for fire-facings several years ago,
is superseded by the American tile with
its smooth, highly-glazed surface. A
mantel facing of marble is often put in
handsome maltelpieces. While colonial
mantelpieces with facings of pale pink,
Numidian marble or Of mottled yellow
Sienna marble, are effectively set in
bright fittings of polished brass. A

offering some low rate tickets with
liberal conditions as to limit. Texas

the Knickerbocker club house this
evening to Captain c. Oliver ~Iselin,

shofr, eX-Commodore Latham
A. Fish, Of the Atlantic Yacht
club, and the flag officers of the
New York Yacht club. Nothing
has yet been decided as to what
will be done with the Nigilant, but
it must be said with certainty that
the syndicate will entertain a salts
factory offer for her purchase.
However, unless an agreement to
the contrary is subsequently reach
ed, she will not be offered for sale
at auction.

this, as we'll as many other i'm
provements in building and land

the grounds are being put in and
an electric lighting plant erected.
Many prominent MeXicans are
interested in the success Of this I'M
dertaking, by which it is, hoped the
culture and breeding of blooded
horses will be permanently estab-
lished in Mexico. General Trevino,
a prominent army official and not
ed hOrseman, and Senior Romero
RubiO, a member of the cabinet
and father-in-law to President
Diaz, are among those taking an
especial interest in the success Of
the undertaking.
The president of the association
is r. c. Pate, a we'll known st.

field is secretary, and in direct
charge of construction is G.. II.
Brown, a well known Missouri
track maker.
The scheme in it's entirety is a
stupendOus one and while relieving
the OVer-CrOwded horse market of
the United States will operate to
the mutual advantage of the Two
Republics by establishing in Mex
leo an interest in fine horse raising
and handling, which cannot fail in
bringing up the standard and APP
probation of fine horse flesh south

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Senate-
During the transaction of routine
business the Senate passed the
joint resolution relieving from
paying customs duties all foreign
exhibits now at the Chicago fair
which may become the property Of
the Columbian Museum of Art.
Terry, of Arkansas, thought con-
gress should neither adjourn nor
recess, that plenty of business was
to be transacted. Catchings said
there was no farther business on
the calender. The committee had
not been working with view to a
continual session and Congress
had been called for special pur-
poses and that being now accom-
plished should adjourn.
HOUsE.-Immediately after the
reading of the Journal, Catchings
reported a resolution for final adj
iournment, at 3 o'clock tomorrow.
Holman,O of Indiana, argued against
the adjournment, and in favor Of
recess. He said if Congress re-
cessed, a final adjournment could
be reached by July LIST.

Directum VS.. Mascot.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The posi-
bility of a match between the trot-
ter Directum and the champion
PAGER Mascot, at Fleetwood Park,
has crystalliZed into a fact. After
much negotiation a telegram was
received last week by Mr.. II. r..
Murray, of the executive commit
tee of the Driving club, from Nh.
w. p. Taylor, the owner of Mascot,
which says that the match has
been arranged. 1t is for $4,000 a
side, and is to be decided at Fleet
wood Park today.
This should be the most ensa-
tional match of the year, as Direc-
tum has beyond doubt won the
highest hOnors of the trotting turf
for 1898, and Mascott's unparalleled
ed pacing record Of 2:04 makes him
the champion. of the sidewheelers.
Efforts have been made to bring
about q match between Directum
and AliX, 2:07 3-4, and though the
matter has not been decided there
is a strong probability that the
match will be made and that the
people of this city will be able to
see a contest between the two trOt-
ters who hold the fastest race
records,

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. O.
Nancy Hanks did not go against

cold rain making it very disagree
able, and hence this event and the
others announced were postponed
to today. The National associa-
ton rules do not permit a meeting
to be postponed longer than the
