said TO excel all previous efforts. The

in all their glory.
YESTERDAYS EVENTS.
While the attendance Yesterday was
not large. as before stated, it exceeded

Messing several very interesting speed
contests. The track officials we're

first event was the FIVE mile handicap,
which proved one of the most interest
ing Of The afternoon. The starters got

The number of lives lost on steam
vessels the past year is approx
mated at 1858, which is an increase
of the average for the past eighteen
years of 120. This increase was
caused by the loss of life by the
laundering of the steamer Col1ma,
off the Pacific coast. 1t is graf
flying to note, however, that the
perils of those who go down to the
sea in ships are diminishing:
The loss of life under the law OF
1852 was one person to every
25O,1S1 passengers, while under
the act of 1871, designed to afford
greater security, only one passenger
in2,7O9, 1873 is lost. In other words,
the chances Of safe passage are
nearly three millions to one. This
would seem nearly as safe as stay
ing on shore exposed to the various
accidents that may occur there.
The "perils Of the Deep once
considered so formidable, have been
reduced to minimum.

Among the tiny republics Of the
world perhaps the tiniest of all, IN
point of population, is the republic
of Travalora, on the island OF that
name, about eight miles from
Sardinia. 1t has population OF
fifty-five and is less than two miles
in length.
Sovereignty was accorded in
1886 by King Charles Albert to the
head of the Bartoleoni family, who
was given the title of King. For
nearly fifty years this monarch
Paul [. was his name-ruled his
microscopic kingdom with skill
and Judgment and enjoyed peace
with all his neighbors. He died
May 3, 1882, after expressing the
desire to his sorrowing relatives
that none of them should succeed
him. He strongly wished his sub
iects to govern themselves. Nc
pretender arose, and for four years
the simple inhabitants got along
comfortably without any hand al
the helm of their Ship OF State
But in 1885, after lengthy discus
sions, in which the 1ravalora1
women took a prominent part, the
republic was proclaimed.
The women had a large say re
garding the constitution, and the,
secured the right Of suffrage
The president is elected for 81,
years. He and the other officer
serve without salary. The indie
pendence of the tiny State wa
recognized in 1897 by the Italian
government.

Lafayette was remarkable no
less for his tact and courtesy than
for the sterner virtues which made
him dear to two nations.
During his visit to Boston on his
return to this country, a lady with
whom he was dining, brought up
the subject of the Revolution, ask
ing him many questions as to the
details of it's history.
Among them was the inquiry,
sWas not the cockade worn at first
bv the Americans black, general?"
yes" was thereby. I've wore
black cockade until the French
Joined us, and then, in compliment
tothem. we added the white ribbon"
Lafayette belonged toa time and
a race that held the fine art ofgen-
tie speech as ofthe firstimportance.
A lady of his own family whowas
attached to the French court was
distinguished for her courtesy
where all were courteous. She
was so affectionate to both her
mother and mother-in- law that one
day when both were present, the
king playfully insisted that she
should decide which she loved bet
ter. IF both were drowning, mad
anne" hedemanded, land you could
save but one, which would 1t be?"
sAh. SIRE she replied, quickly,
Il would save my mother-in law,
and drown with my mother!'
Louis himself puzzled his jailers
bv his gentle politeness. HIS
