wood, W. Wood and Others.
Improvements Mt the
Track.

The fall race meeting, under the au-
spices of the Sixth District Agricultural
association, gives promise of being the
greatest in the hietory Of the association.
The number of entries received exceed
all expectations. The card for the week
contains 2S races and the horses entered
are go evenly matched. judging from their
performances during the season, that
every event on the card will be hotly
contested. This ia especially true of the
trotting and pacing races. Nearly all
the best horses which are now making
the circuit are down to start and by
the time they reach this city will be at
their best.
More interest will probably be taken
in the free-for-sll pacing lace, In which
Silkwood will meet his old enemy. W..
Wood, in addition to Waldo J. and Lady
II. This race will probably be the great
eat one of the meeting. and the winner
of the race will have to go in better time
than has ever been made on Southern
California track.
The accommodations at the track ar e
better than ever before. During the
past year over $4,000 have been ex-
pended in Improvements, and race goers
this year can be assured of comfortable
accom- modations. The new grand stand,
which will accommodate 5O00 spectators,
is SO arranged that every seat commands
a view of the home stretch. There are
40 boxes in the stand which can now be

Napoleon at Sixteen.

1t was the autumn of 1854 when Ma
poleon went to Paris. He was in the
sixteenth year of his age, entirely
ignorant of what were then called the
"humanities, " but well trained in his
tory, geography and the mathematical
sciences. His knowledge like the bent
of his mind, was practical rather than
theoretical, and he knew more about
fertilization and sieges than about
metaphysical distractions, more about
the deeds Of history than about its
philosophy. His defiant scorn and
habits of solitary study grew stronger
together, finding no vent except in a
peevish memorial addressed to the min
lister of war on the proper training of
youth in French military schools.
Nevertheless, he found almost if not
altogether for the first time boy
friend in the person of Des Mazis, his
roommate, a youth noble by birth and
nature, a pensioner, moreover. like
himself.-Prcf. Sloane, III November
Century.
