WOMEN AT ENGLISH RACES.

]
They Are Nearly Always Wealthy and
Attend Because They Love Sport.
The women one sees at the races here
are the women of the fashionable world,
beautifully attired, escorted by gallants.
They move shout on the lawn, or pre-
side at their luncheon tables under the
trees or over their hampers in their car
riages; they chat and promenade, take a
light interest in the races, walk about
the paddock and look at the horses, do
the honors in a box or rest in their seats
at the grand stand; but one doesn't see
them hauling out money to put on n
horse or chasing around to find out
"what's good in this race" One doesn't
see them consulting the tips in the morn
ing papers, or Jacks tips, or anybody's
tips, or in any way showing that they
are afflicted with a severe attack Of
gambling fever.
The English women are the most
charming feature of the English races.
They, with their lovely toilets and holt
day airs, give it the garden party flavor
that helps to keep it a sport instead of a
business.
But it's not i'll nature for them to al
ways look ON and never participate.
English women have a finger in the
racing pie also. You'd hardly suspect it
to watch them at the races, but they do.
They are usually women who 60 racing
for the love of the sport and who know
more OF less about the horses. When
they want to bet they ask a commits
sioner, some gentleman who Is betting
for himself, or else some one they can
tip for the trouble, to put certain
amount on a horse for them. No money
passes on the course. The settling IS
all done away from there, and usually by
letter and checks.
Women who bet heavily and contin-
ually-and there are such-transact their
business directly with a bookmaker,
just like man. But this again ism
evident on the course. When such a
woman fancies a horse she sends tel.
egram from her home the morning of
the day he runs, making her bet, or she
wires her bet-or "order'-from the
course before the race. Usually, too,
she's the sort of woman who can retail
the latest fashionable gossip IN plqnant
style, while her equine fancy" is add
ing to or subtracting from her bank ac-
count.
There are a great many English wom-
en- who bet in this way, and who now
and then stand to win tidy sums in the
early books ON big races. Then there's
lot of playful impromptu betting at
places like EPSON aud Ascot. I've seen
ladies lean over the front of the boxes at
EPSON and hand the shouting bookies
who stand in line in front of them SOW
ereigns and half soyereigns and name
their horses, to give the day zest or
shave it to say" that they were on a
Derby or Oaks favorite.
And I've seen ladies going to and from
the paddock at Ascot stop to have look
at the shouting ring, and go up to some
bookie and make bet Just to have the
experience" and the bookie would be
''as polite as a basket of chips, and the
experience would be filed away with
those other wonderful ones of hedged IN
lives, like ride on Jumbo or dash
into the slums. London Cor. Chicago

pointed by the convention of the Re-

announce to you otticially the action of

unanimously to the highest office in the
gift Of the people of the city.
Permit US to say that the convention
OF which we are the representatives was
distinct, in great many ways, from any
convention held in this city for great
many years. The entire absence OF the

absence of any slate, the lofty patriotism
in rising above mere partisanship by not
hestating to go outside their ranks TO re-
ward man who has proved himself to
be the right man in the right place-all
this stamps this convention as unique in
the history of municipal politics. and we
have no hesitancy in declaring that this
convention was nearer to the hearts of the
people than any that has been held for
many a year.
I'VE feeI certain that the people of the
city will. on the 7th day oil November,

A Foul Alley.

Whoever is responsible for the filthy
condition of the alley between Second

such condition that one can pick his way

All sorts of nuisances are encountered
there. and people residing on either side
appear to make it common place of de-
posit for garbage. The alley is rarely in
a condition for use by pedestrians

The opinion of number of contractors
IS that the spans of twenty feet in the
plans adopted are too long for the size of
the supporting timbers, and that fourteen
to sixteen feet is as long as they should
have been with that sized timbers. While
the trestle will not break, they think that
the vibrations will impair the longevity
of the structure.
