The American Futurty is the richest prize Tor
racehorscs offered in any part OF the WORM.
Eight Futurities have been decided upon the AT
tractivc grounds Of The Coney Island Jockey
Club and that Of 1895. which was run yester
day. must rank among the best OF them all
There were no accidents. the start was perfect
and the best horse ridden by the best jockey DC
feated his competitors in impressive style IL Is
true that the favorite was beatcn-the favorite
is often beaten in famous raccs-but MS failure
was due solely to the fact that he could not run
fast enough and no fouling or jostling or inter
ference marred the contest. 1t Is remarkaDe
that horses owned by n single fortunate racing
firm have captured three out Of the eight Futuri-
ties. SO much luck on the turf rarely fals 10
the lot of single firm or single owner. IL il
noteworthy also that one jockey, Grlfrn' roue
five out of the six winners in yesterdays races
record never equalled on any other important
racetrack in any country. This Jockey, grimm
is beyond question a rider Of marvellous SKILL
and can fairly be classed with the finest jockeys
that England has brought up-her Archers, her
FOrdhams and her Bann0ns.

A LESSON IN PUBLIC WORKS.

Once upon a time il was the proverbial boast
Of Americans that this country beat all crea
ton" In what respects we were not told. The
presumption was that America was superior to
the rest Of the world in all respects. II there
were any one point Of more than ordinary ex-
cecncc however. 1t was doubtless that Of mod
ern improvements" We were the most progress
siye and inventive of nations. We burned gas
while the Old World stuck to candles; we rode
in scamcars while others numbered along in
stagecoachcs We were quicker, smarter. and
had more Of the "gO ahead quality than any
other people on the face of the earth. Like the
schooner America in the first race for the cup,
we were first and there was no second.
Whether there be any perfervid patriots who
still cherish such fond delusions we do not know.
II there be- we commend to them, as we do most
cordially. 10 all our readers the letter from Mr..
I. y. Ford on Scottish Towns" which Is print
cd on another page of this paper. 1t will arouse
the keen interest Of every thoughtful citizen, and
will cause in the minds Of many especially In
this city, a sense Of shame. 1t will show New
Workers that instead Of being ahead Of all crea-
ton they are in some highly important particl-
lars very far behind the cities and towns Of
Scotland. as well as the greater municipalities
Of England NewYork may be more than three
times as big as Glasgow, and do much more
business. But superiority is not altogether de-
term,ned by such things In that which makes
a city attractive. IN those things which have TO
do with the health and convenience and comfort
and general we)belng Of the people the Scot
fish city is so far In advance OF the American
as TO be beyond all comparison.
