beautiful fy-chaser.
Charles Derby, the shapely son of Stein

some twenty of which made their appear

the prettiest animal of the lot, the Nut

Wilkes; Friday, DAILY, ST Eric. Young
Saladin Jr. and Bay Rum, also showed in
the line.
WheE the bell rang at 2 o'clock tbs cele-
brated brood mares Firenzi and Bessie
June were led into the ring. Firenzi, "the
queen of the turf" was the admired of
all as she champed Der bit and showed
her hi Oh breeding as she pranced around

In the gray of the early morning yester-

few skirmishers in fatigue dress were sent
out to the Mechanics Pavilion to recon-

The Close Proximity OF Great Wealth and

Only short time ago the attention

ing work.
This was because condition which
has made itself felt throughout the
county is especially aggravated in
Chicago by the drifting to that city
during the worlds fair of many thou
sands of working people.
The close contact of so much mag
nifcence and wealth and so much
misery is an admonition to those who
have to great degree, through their
wealth and prominence in the country's
affairs, its welfare in their hands, that
they have terrible responsibility in
these trying times.
One man, hundred men, may be out
