Poisoning Race Horses.

1t may we'll be a boast of the Ameri-
can turf that the practice of getting
att race horse has never been very
common here, and it is now several
years since the last we'll authenticated
case of poisoning occurred at Saratoga.
This recalls the fact that the English
turf has been notorious for such sensa-
tions. Early in the century four crack
racers We're poisoned at Newmarket,
and two men were arrested. The prin-
cipal in the matter escaped on a techni
cality, but was rearrested on another
charge Of horse poisoning and was
eventually hanged
The St Leger favorite of 1881, u
horse named Marcus, was poisoned on
the day before the race. He was just
able TO run, but finished last and died
soon afterward The perpetrator was
never discovered
Even more sensational was the Tho
cusing" of Lanercost, the first winner
of the Cambridgeshire. who was in 1912
considered a certain winner of the As
cot cup. He was poisoned, but, like
Marcus, was able to run and finished
last. He did not die, however, but was
retired TO the stud. York Herald.

Once below water an astonishing

THE FAMILY DOESN'T MIND.
a Peculiar Domestic Scene In a German
saloon In New York.

4 Peculiar Domestic Scene In a German
saloon In New York.
There is popular German restaurant
and saloon on upper Third avenue which
is much frequented by families living in
the neighborhood. The saloon is sepa-
rate from the restaurant proper The
cooking is very good, and the prices are
very reasonable. and Us result the pro-
prietor has grown wealthy.
An odd and interesting feature of this
resort is the family dinner, which oc-
ours about o'clock every evening. The
family consists of the big, broad shout
dered host; his small, angular wife;
jolly sister-in-l law; three little girls, n
small boy, and a governess whose fea-
lures clearly indicate her New England
origin. They all sit down together at a
long table, which is placed not in the
restaurant, but in the center of the sa-
loon All around are tables at which
sit jolly jewellers, and frequently during
the dinner hour u crowd stands leaning
against the bar.
The family does not seem to mind the
saloon surroundings, and, in fact, rarely
does any one of them glance up from
the table. The only Interruptions are
when some of the habitual frequenters
come up TO talk with the host or his
wife. The children chatter and carry
on just as though they were in phi
vate dining room. It gives homelike
and domestic air to the saloon which
probably could not be duplicated in any
other hostelry on Manhattan Island
The only person who seems to be i'll at
ease is the Yankee governess. New
