Fair warning. There are
many reasons why it will
pay you to buy two or three
of these suits.
Prices are going to be
higher. Clothes are going
to be higher. Manufactur-
ers have been caught the
last season or two with
heavy stocks, and have had
to sacrifice them. They say
they will make up no more
suits unless they have the
orders before hand.
There will be no more
"stocks" thrown on the
market-hence no NJ Or e
"special' sales.
You will pay double next
winter, spring and sumner.
AT present you can buy $40,
SD and SIS suits in blue
and black and fancies for

SOUTHERN LEAGUE WEAKENING
birmingham, Ala, Throws Up the
Sponge and Quits the Game

Birmin CHAM, Ala, July 6.-At the meet
ing of the Southern League magnates here
yesterday the disposal of the Birmingham
franchise was the subject under considera-
ton. Present at the meeting were Pres-
dent Powers, of New Orleans: d. P. Burns,
of Mobile; B. l.. Holt, of Mont gomery; j. F.
Flournoy, of Columbus, and George Allison
and Scion Jacobs, of Birmingham. Bir-
mingham's Indebtedness was reported at
$3.50. and the strain could not be held up.
All the players, with one exception, are
here yet.
President Powers is in Birmingham today,
and will try to induce the Birmingham
Railway and Electric Company, or some
enthusiastic set of citizens, to take the
franchise.
In case the effort to place the franchise
is not successful, then the league is to be
continued with five clubs. None will be
frozen out, though some club will have to
lay off for a series or two and lose that
much money. The representatives say they
will hold up the association as long as they
can.

The suggestion of Abbott Bassett, secre-
tary of the LA. w, that there be during the
week of the L. A. W. meet at Louisville
day devoted to a reunion of the veteran L.
A. W. members, has attracted general at
tention all over the country among those
hohave been league members long enough
TO be entitled to the veteran bar, which is
furnished to all those who have retained
their membership for ten years. This sug-
gestion is TO be carried out, and will doubt
less attract to Louisville large number of
the older wheelmen.

STEWARDS TO INVESTIGATE.
Gutenberg Methods Said to Be Prac-
ticed at Grayesend.

ticed at Gravesend.
New York, July 6.-The a action of the stew
ards of the Coney Island Jockey Club in
making an investigation into the running
of a number of horses last Thursday, while
it is little belated, is at least promise
that the reign of terror on the turf which
has lasted for three weeks is approaching
an end. Encouraged by the laXity of the
officials, horses have been run during the
resentmeeting at S SheepsheadB Bay in way
tomake even the veterans OF Guttenbergan and
Clifton stare. The horses under investiga-
ton are only few Of the suspects.
What is needed just now are absolutely
fearless stewards, untrammeled by any
race-track assistants. The Jockey Club Of
ficials do not recognize their position.
Racing in New York State is resting on the
very thinnest kind of thin ice. The proba-
bilities are that they will ignore the warn
1ngs they are receiving and wake up with
start to find their occupation gone.
Raccgoers are bitter and sore, and they
have cause to be bitter and sore. At leasta
dozen horses ran last week at Sheepshead
Bay and lost, when every attendant cir
cumstance-the betting, the riding OF the
Jockeys, and the performance afterward-
indicated that the public was deliberately
robbed. It is no use to mention names.
Every man, woman and, child at the track,
from the blind beggar at the gates to the
stewards in the stand, knows what the
horses were. k"p
It has become common Joke in the bet
ting ring, and the profesp1als wink ana
put their tongues in their cheek when Ger
tain jockeys names go up. ns
If racing is to continue, there must be
reforms. The public must be protected.
Fraud must be punisheas II dishonesty is
to be covered up, then, ,thssooner every race
track gate is nailed up, ehe better it will
be for everybody. AndeJust now 1t looks
as II the naillng-up time had almost come.

WORLDS FLYING RECORD.

Philadelphia, July 6.-The most remark

On Monday last the record breaker,

Twenty members of the Christian En-

FAILURE OF THE FRIAR.

The Messrs. Morris are in quandary
concerning The Friar. They do not know
whether to attribute his failure to win
races to faint-fcarted ness or sickness,
which prostrated him at Morris Park. No
body's two-year-nld can outwork the son
of Friar's Balsain In the mothing. and those
who saw him work six farldbgs around the
turn at sheepshead Bag in 1:l4 before the
Great Trial stakes say that he went so hand
lily that six furlongs in 1:13 did not seem
beyond his capacity.
When wyndham Waldensljpped hIsstring
from Bowling Brook to Morris Park he
believed that he had a second st. Florian
or even greater race horse in his string,
and an offer of S25, ZOO would have been
scorncd. Littlefield said after Saturdays
race that The Fria r ran to the front when
he called on him with the greatest of ease,
but stopped when Winged Foot and Orna-
mcnt hove in sight. Rodesia and Bastipn,
like The Friar. showed a lot of speed, but
were singularly la cking in staying qualities.
THE REA ALIZATION NEXT SATURDAY.
The race Of the present week will be
the Realization on Saturday next. 1t will
be worth more than 900 to the Win
ner, and will bring those two great three
year-olds, Requital and Hastings, toceth-
er for the first time since last years Fu-
turity stakes. Both colts have recei yed
splendid preparation for Saturdays prize,
and every foot OF the struggle for the mile
and five furlongs will be interesting.
The race will be 4 whirlwind struggle
and should solve the much discussed ques-
tion as to Requital's staying powers. His
dam, Retribution, threw the sprinters Arab,
Nick and Contribution, but the produce of
Eothen gives promise of making the old
mare the dam OF at least one horse with
the requisite bottom to go cup distances.
Requital performed so plendidly as two
ycar-old and ran mile in lao so handi-
ly that it is any odds that he can race all
day.
Still, the talent want to see him do 1t
with horse of the caliber of Hastings by
his side.

New York, July 6.-The talent had time
yesterday to discuss the v:igarcs Of two
year-oid form. They reached the con-
cl,lsion that not in years, have we had
such an cratic lot of youngsters. Those
who recall the year when His Highness,
st. Fiorian, Yorkville Belle, Locoiatchie,
Lamplighter and Huron, were out long for
two year-olds of their type to take the
place of the in-and-outerS Of 1896.
After careful consideration, the ma ajority
of the critics have settled upon Ornament
as the pick of the lot, and Mr.. PattersoD's
colt is regarded us the most promising of
all the Futurity materiarin sight.
Winged Foot showed by, her victory in
the Great Trial that she is a smart filiy,
but she has been beaten too often to be any
thing phenomenal. Griffinsaid that Winged
Foot bumped into Don D'Oro Just after the
start. This would explain the poor race
OF the fav orite, for there is no doubt at all
that he is inclined 10 fight whenever he
is llampered or interfered with.
WHEN DON D'oRo WON.
The reader will recall the run for the
Irewort Stakes, ut Grayesend, when Don
D'Oro wen so galantly, The Frar made
the running, with Don D'Oro second, until
the upper turn was reached. At that point
Winged Foot drew up TO Don D'Oro's
saddle girths, and the big colt threw back
his ears. Griffin, fearing a repetition of
the fiasCo in the Great American Stakes, at
once rode oil out OF danger, and the race was

| reference OF any kind. On Saturday he
| drew next position to Winged Foot, and in
afieldor dozenh wasbound obe knocked
about more or less in the wild rush for po-
| sition when the flag went down.
Don D'oro is undoubtedly very speedy

and would run the harder FOR some humping

to concede ten pounds to any youngster in
