USE OF r GOODS.

A Increased Consumption Now ~ Com
pared With Former Years.
1t shculd DO remembered that 60 years
ago the market for dry goods, taking
the words IN a large sense, was much
less extensive than at present. A great
deal of linen, cotton and wooden cloth
was made in families, and mems cloth
ing was largely prepared by domestic
seamstresses Homespun was still much
worn. Men and boys who were not af-
ficted with rheumatism did not wear
u~ndershirts and drawers, and the CORE
spending garments were not used by the
other sex till after 1926.
Carpets were unknown among the
poor 80 years ago, eve in the rustic
form of those made of rags. 1t was aft
or this date that q parishioner of DR..
Lyman Beecher, seeing q neat and gay
rag carpet in the pastors house, in
quired solemnly if he thought he could
have all this and heaven too. Ingram
and brussels came into use among the
middle and lower classes in cities about
1880 and in the country 10 or Is years
later. Cotton goods were very dear in
1920, but have steadily been sinking
ever since as the facilities Of manufac-
lure have improved.
Ready made clothing 80 years after
the Declaration Of Independence was
only to be found in seaports or in those
places where there was likely TO be at
any time an influx Of backwoodsmen,
boatmen or miners. The stores were
then familiarIy known as ''slopshops,"
and the garments made very little pre-
tense to fitting. Countless varieties of
cloth and q multitude Of accessories in
the dry goods trade have come up with

A RECORD BREAKING RIDE

Railroad Lines

CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-The FASTEST time

afternoon ar $40 over the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois road, had the honor of
initiating the record breaking. 1t will
reach Atlanta, Ca. tomorrow at p. M,
making the running time twenty-two
hours and fifty eight minutes. This, &C.
cording to General Passenger Agent
Stone, will be the regular daily standard
time hereafter. The change thus started,
it is said, is the beginning of practical
revolution in the operation OF southern
railway lines, inevitably involving vast
network OF roads and en- phasizing ths re-
cent break up of the Mason and Dixon
line in transportation matters.
The new fast train ON the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois road will run from Chi
csgo through to Nash vile, arriving there
at 1:10 a. IN. At Nashville it makes d.
rect connection with fast tram over the

SADDLE AND SULKY

Last Saturday there came to a close the
best RAGS meeting that has ever been held
in Los Angeles. The Pacific Coast Breed,
ers' association are responsible for the
success of the affair, and are to be
warmly congratulated upon the outcome
of their efforts. They have succeeded in
meet that has ever been given down here,
and deserves the thanks OF the entire
community for importing the starter, Mr..
W. P. McNa!r The work of this gentle
man cannot be too highly commended.
Instead Of the long, tedious warts that
have hitherto characterized all meetings
in this section, the program was sent
through with snap and quickness that
the racing publc marveled at. HIS
methods of getting away field of horses
is something that is entirely new to Los
Angeles race-goers. There is no endless
scoring and wearying of the horses be-
fore they get to racing, and his sharp
manner is a warning that drivers needed
before they tried to work anything
wrong. With 1t all there was little fin
ing done, the hoisemen apparently re-
allzlng that there was no use kicking
against tie pricks. More thnn that, the
quality OF the racing was of the highest
order. All the races were evidently
driven TO win from start to finish, and
in most cases the time was Of the best.
In all there were sixty-five meats trotted
or paced, and of these fifty were better
than 2:20 and thirty-two went in 2:15 OF
under. Such a meeting has never been
held here, and the management may con-
graduate them selves upon setting an ex-
ample that the local directors night we'll
follow. The races of the district associa

excellent affair OF the Pa;ihc Coast Breed

word about the defeat of the great
Silkwood on Saturday is not out of place.
The condition OF the horse Is well-known
py everyone, and the amount of useless
vituperation that has been spent upon
ola Joe Wlletts wonld make the hair CT
some men fall out. The attempt to race
horse that is fed on pumkins and
driven on country roads In buggy is to
be strongly condemned. The other ami
mails entered against Silkwood were all
in 1000 shape, and as q consequence the
fine horse was about run off his legs. If
Mr.. Willets ex poets to win when he re-
fuses to train Silkwood, then somebody
should take largs club and point out
the error Of his ways to the old gentle.

the SAME kind of treatment would be ap-
plcable for trying to do up tbs racing

ON THE DIAMOND

The opening of professional baseball in
this city is a welcome event, even
though the teams chat are playing are
only giving us exhibitions. Should the
management give the public the right
kind of ball there is little doubt of the
success of the venture. If, however, they
should conclude that the people of this
city will be satisfied with hIppodrUmes
the frost that will strike them will be of
the most approved Arctic order. There
is no good reason why the outlook for the
California league should be spoiled by
men with no interest in the booming OF
good professional baseball in this section.
While the game yesterday was not
fair sample of the playing of the clubs
now in Los Angeles, still there must be
decided improvement or there will have
to oe change. The fans turned out 10

ing all the ginger out OF those eastern ex-
ponents of the national game. AS a pre-
liminary there was a four Inning match
between the local team the Brunswicks,
and the Los Angeles professional club.
The amateurs did not make a very good
showing against tho others. though they
we're let down easily. The big game was
about the poorest that the professionals
have yet turned out. Jones went in to
pitch for the Oaklands and was almost
batted out of the bvx. He was gently
but ermly removed in the sixth inning,
and Mullans substituted. 1t was too late
to repair the damage hsartlessly wrought
by his esteemed pred ecessor and the Los
Angeles fiends won in very hollow style.
The only run that the visitors succeeded
in putting to their credit was in the
lonely run on Burns single and two wild
pitches by KneIl. The features of the
game were the heavy batting of the Los
Angeles men and the exceedingly poor
playing of the Oak land second baseman.
Appended is the sad story in figures:

THE ROPED RING

The victory of Billey Gallagher over
Young Choynski at the Los Angeles Ath-
letio clus last Tuesday evening was a
f0regone conclusion, but the ease with
which he handled his man was certainly
remarkable. Choynski never HIT his man
once in damaging manner, and seemed
utterly unable to avoid the terrible left
jahs that Gallagher sent in over his heart
and stomach. In connection with this
there is no harm in advising the club to
put mating on the floor Of the ring.
When man already weakened by pun
ishment strikes the floor as Choynski
did it is only good luck and not good
management that there is not some really
serious result to 1t. The winner of the
fight, Billy Gallagher, will resume his
place as boxing instructor to the club.
Gus Herget, the lormer instructor. has
gone to San Francisco. and has opened a
training resort on the San Lsandro road
in company with his brother John, bet
ter known to the fighting fraternity as
Young Mitchell. The return of Gala
CHER to Los Angeles at this time was a
boon to the athletic Grub.
The great fight between the two mig b y
jaw crackers has resolved itself into a
bowling farce. The ease with which the
two principals find reason for never COM

greatest embryo lawyers in the world,
but rather detraots fron their reputation
