NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The chief feature
of to-day's racing at Sheepshead Bay was
the disqualification of Dobbins in the
Ocean handicap. and the decision OF the
judges met general approval.
The horses ran as if blanketed until the
turn into the stretch when Simms took
DobbiDs to the outside and began his
drive. One after the other he bumped the
horses out of his way and when the last
furlong was reached he had Roche and
Fsraday to beat
He bore in against Roche, which in turn
drove FaTaday against the rails, and the
gray had to give it up or go over the
fence. He took a bit of revenge out OF
Roche, for he gave that colt a savage bite
to ray for the crOwding.
Then Dobbins continued on his course
and by crOWding Roche so hard he was
nearly driven over the fence. He won by
a neck. He was set back, however, amid
the applause of The crowd.

about how much exercise should a
piano get?"
In most cases from one to two hours a
day to keep it in the best of health. More
than two hours day slowly saps piano
of its vital energy. Another thing about
a piano is that 1t has to breathe. This
fashion of smothering piano in clothes

SERVANTS AND THE LAW.

Law in Dresden.
In Dresden all house servart IS are gov

by the municipal authorities. Any person
who gives a recommendation to servant
who is not worthy of it is held accounta bic
to the authorities for any damages that the
next person employing the servant may

An American lady residing in Dresden
was cOngratulating herself upon the jewel
OF girl she had got to cook for her. One
day German policeman came TO the door
and told the lady that her cook was steal
ing from her. The American very
promptly and Indignantly denied the i'm
putetion upon the girl. but the phlegmatic
official was obiurate. de persisted that
the girl was thief. and said that she was
systematically stealing the coal from the
bins in the cellar and giving it to coll
federate.
The lady called the girl. who burst into
tears and confessed her theft when con-
frontsd by the officer. Ths latter then
told the astonished employer that she
would either be compelled to prosecute the
girl or become pecuniarly responsible for
all Ihefts the girl might commit after she
left her service. The lady refused to eth
