Her Defeat at Philadelphia Gave theTalent
 an Upset.
 Philadelphia, Sept. 13.-The grand circuit season ended this afternoon at the Philadelphia Driving park. There were four events, and three favorites and one second choice were the win ners. The feature was the breaking of the track record in the second heat of the free-for-all pace by Mascot. The Deceive gelding made the circuit in 2:0S, which is 1A seconds lower than the previous best record, which was accomplished by Flying Jib two years ago.
 The talent received an upset in the first race, the 2:14 trot, by the defeat of Fanny Wilcox, the winner of the class at Fleetwood. The Wilkes strain carried off two first and one second in the 2:15 and 2:18 trots, and Mascot de- feated saladin, his only competitor, in the pacing class.

know that he bet me that pound of chocolates he would wish me a Happy New Yearr first again this year. He doesn't expect to see me until the big family dinner tomorrow, and by that time I dare say that shall be talking so fast I shall forget all about it, as usual. But I am going to dress up so he won't know me, and then in the morning, when the poor children go to his house for the New Years cakes am going to get in with a crowd of them and just wish him Happy New Yearr For once am glad live in Dutchy New York town, else there wouldn't be any poor children going around asking for cakes"
 Amy laughed and agreed, and Meg tied gauge scarf under her chin and said: ''Now, think I'm ready. And Amy, you take Harry up to the house, and I will take Al, and then we will meet at the corner and go home to- gether. Mind, now, that you don't let Harry go home with you"
 Come, girls" called Cousin Sarah. ''The carriages have been here for ever so long," The girls trooped downstairs to the hall, where the boys were wait ing, and with some blushing and much laughter each girl escorted her charge to the carriage, or walked with him, as the case might be.
 If Al Van Decker had any idea of taking slow promenade with Meg, he was soon disabused of the notion, for she started him away at great pace, saying: II can't dawdle. It's nearly midnight and we should have been home half an hour ago" And in less than five minutes MT. Albert Van Decker had arrived at his own door.
 ''Now, Cousin Meg" he said, tits my turn"
 Nonsense! There is Amy now, Au1 Wiedersehenr And away sped little Miss Van Decker across the street.
 ''It didn't take long, did it?" said Meg, as she slipped her arm in Amy's ''That is girls way of doing things right to the point. But I want to bt sure about the old gown; have it ready by eight o'clock. I want to go over about nine. Al will come to the door he always likes to give away the cakes.

'02 that the Van Decker girls gave their leap-year party. At eight o'clock that evening Miss Margarethe Van Decker stood before the glass in the front chamber of the old Van Decker house buttoning her gloves. She was short and plump and almost eighteen, and if she was not exactly pretty she made most people think she was, but Miss Van Decker, or Meg, as she was fla miliarly called, had grievance.
 ''I wouldn't care if it were anybody but AL, she was saying, "but he is all ways getting the best of me, and last time when he wished me "A Happy New Year first he bet pound of candy he would do it this year. Why, just think" continued this small per son, as she snapped the last button into it's buttonhole, ''he has said Happy New Yearr to me first every time since was twelve years old. It seems silly to care, but he does it to tease me; he knows I mean to get ahead of him, and then forget it every time"
 The little nose which was inclined to snub went up with sniff as Meg shook out her red skirts and looked over her shoulder at the place where her train would have been if she had been old enough to wear one. "And boys are so conceited, anyway!" she continued. s'If we didn't take pains and outwit them once in awhile they would be simply uncomfortable. Al shall not be first this time, for ] think" she added, firmly, "that when I have once made up my mind to do a thing can carry it out as we'll as Al Van Decker or anybody else in the Van Decker family"
 'Come, Meg! Hurry up, Amyp called Bess Van Decker. 'sThe boys will be here in jiffy, and we must be ready to receive them"
 Come on, Amy, we shall be the last down, as usual" and Meg gave another touch to her crinlxly brown hair, flew downstairs and landed with skip and twirl at the bottom.
 Meg Van Decker was one of the Var Decker cousins, and so was Amy, anG so was Bess and Sarah and all the rest of the forty-one of the younger gener ation of the Van Deckers who lived al the corner. The family formed ths principal part of the small suburban settlement and quite ruled it in so cial way. Indeed, at this little party there was hardly a guest who was no a cousin, or who did not expect to be { cousin some time.

ONS day; And they wondered, when she saw them. What the little girl would say. They hoped that the nursery life was gay; And they hoped that they would find The little girl often played with dolls; And they hoped that she was kind. Near by sat an old doll neatly dressed In a new frock, black and red; She smiled at the French dolls-"As to that, Don't feel afraid" she said. The new dolls turned their waxen heads, And looked with a naughty stare, As if they never had seen before That a doll was sitting there. q Oh, we're not in the least afraid, :" said one, We are quite too fine and new; But perhaps you yourself will find that now She will scarcely care for you" The old doll shook her head and smiled; She smiled, although she knew Her plaster nose was almost gone. And her cheeks were faded, too. And now 1t was day; in came the child, And there, all gay and bright, Sat three new dolls In little chairs It was lovely sight. She praised their curls, and noticed, too How finely they were dressed; But the old doll all the while was held Clasped close against her breast
