Clay bourne got the lead at the half, be-
ing soon Joined by Ben D. They were
head and head to the t!isance flag, where
Calvin rallied Claybourne and drew
away, finishing first in g. Ia, the best
time OF the day. Coakley, with Rock
away, cIinched his claim to fourth
money by finishing third, ahead of Jack
and Roam Wilkes.
The three heat winers were left in for
the sixth heat Roam Wilkes broke
shortly after the send off, and was never
in it again. Claybourne and Ben D.
skipped along side by side all the way
round to the last furlong mark, where
Calvin shook Claybourne up little and
brought out reserve speed enough to get
home first by half length in AID,
placing hard won race to his credit.
1t was nearly half-past when the
first two races were over, leaving every
thing clear for the calling of the 2.3O

The largest field seen at Rigby SO far

word the third time down, :and went
away with that perfect stride which is

80, the half in LOG Ia, the three-quar-
tiers in 1. 40 IA, and the mile in 2,13I-2
withthout the sign of break and going
easy. He will go again today if a
chance offers between the heats. On ac-
count of the lengthy programmeIfor the
rest of the week and the necessity of ev-
erything being finished apon Saturday,
the first heat for today will be called
at 12. 80, ard the horses st,rted at D. m.
sharp. The chances are that Frlda ay

Today's list is composed of five events,
the unfinished 2.50 trot, the $50 pace,

Tho Coating of rronclad-.


Nobody is foolish enough TO pretend
that we can coat our ironclads external
ly with sealskin or with porpoise hide,
and undoubtedly we are at a great dis
advantage as compared with nature and
her living forms. Very possibly the
ultimate solution of this question may
be found in the application of some new
material altogether to the external coat
ing Of our vessels. Compressed paper
and COMPRESSED rance fiber, which are
now increasingly employed in America
for railway wheels and steam pipes
would seem promising materials for
the purpose. They admit Of being mold
ed externally into any minute grooves
or tiny overlapping plates. like the
scales of fish.
Little or no extra expense will there
by be incurred, as an enormous by
draulic pressure, capable OF forming
any required surface, is already en-
ployed in The regular course of manu-
facture Or they can Just as easily be
nodded into rough shagrcen, which
in form can be made a facsimile pro
cuction of the skin of the shark. And
By their tough and strong retentive
structure they would effectually pro
tect the steel, or real skin of the vessel.

all this is mere conjecture. Any such
suggestions which any man can pro
