OGDEN WINNER AGAIN
DALN'S 2-YEAR-OLD SECURED THE
GREAT HANDICAP.
Starting in n Poor Position the
Young Horse Won n Fine VIC
tory in Fast Time.

New York, Sept. 5.-The fine card
which had been provided for this the
last day of the racing at Sheepshead
Bay drew large attendance, and
there were some of the best races seen
in a long time. The event of the day
was the Great Eastern handicap for z
year-olds, over the Futurity course, IN
which all the best of the youngsters,
with the exception of Winged Foot,
were contesters and at high weights.
Ornament, guided by Simms, had the
highest weight, with Ogden, the Flu
turity winner, close up. TyphoOn was
there and it was generally thought
that the race lay between the three
Westerners, although Voter had an ex-
tensive following.
There was delay Of 20 minutes at
the post, owing to the bad actions Of
Ornament, and finally they got away
well, with the exception Of Ogden, "ho
was in poor position, fully TWO
lengths behind the field In the first
quarter the fast flly Sunny Slope shot
into the lead, with Voter, Typhoon and
Bannock following, while Ornament
was slowly dropping back in spite Of
the urging Of Simms, and Taral had
brought Ogden up into sixth place.
AS they swung into the straight
course for the last quarter the boys
were all at work. Voter had now as
sumed the lead, passing Sunny slope,
who had had enough of it, while 2he
westerner, TyphOon, had taken second
place, and Taral had brought Ogden
up into fourth place. Down to the fifth
furlong they Numbered in the drizzling
rain, and now TyphOon was the leader,
with Martin watching Voter, who was
second and riding with one hand, is if
he was sure of the race. But he had
not counted upon Ogden, who was ,om-
in along the rail, under TaraIs fierce
urging, like d WhirlWind, and before
Martin knew it the race was over, With
Ogden the winner. Voter got the third
place and Ornament was fifth. 1t was
a fine victory, in fast time and we'll
run from very bad start.

Cash Business.

Since the beginning OF 1896 several

firm can decide that he will sell for
cash and merely tell his customers aud

vised at their homes, and then the in
ducements must be convincing. The
firm who can not afford to do buei-
ness for cash will certainly fail on
credit, because there are sufficient
number who have embarked for the
cash and who are prospecting that will
get the money, while TIE old-rime

literary masterpiece and most on.
during success, was the outcome OF
dispute with an editor.
When in Paris, Mr.. Reade picked
up two stout old volumes on the
"Inns of the Middle Ages" They
were crammed with curious knowl-
edge and Information, and as he
turned them over it struck him
that they would yield ample mate
rial for story depicting life at the
end of the fourteenth century.
He carried them home, made a
careful digest of all they contained
and with the notebook before him
began a story which he called "A
Good Fight" The opening chapters
were sent to the editor of Once q
Week, who printed them in his
magazine, not, however, before he
had nodded them to his own liking
by free use of the blue pencil.
Charles Reade objected to this dry
nursing" as he termed it. and ad-
dressed peremptory order to the
editor, with the ultimate result that
he was requested to wind up his
story as quickly as possible He i'm
mediateiy reversed his catastrophe,
made his hero and heroine happy
and thus without loss of time puta
end to the narrative.
He had hoped to make "A Good
Fight" his most remarkable novel,
and, despite the unfortunate affair
which had cut the story short, had
no intention of renouncing his am
bition or of wasting the enormous
supplies of material he had collect
ed. At Oxford he continued his ex-
plorations into medieval literature,
recast what he had already written
and added much more. The result
was 1.-THE Cloister and the Hearth. "
