1t was not his intention to come to this

leave for there Immediately after the races.
While Mr.. Gettinger was in Philadelphia
Cooper promised he would be here, and
this was the only thing that made him
come to the city. He contemplated racing
at Nashville, and at the indoor board track
at Chicago, which he thinks is an excellent
course. From his trainer it was learned
that he is very likely to be sent out after
some records before the cold weather sets
in, though where the attempts will be
made Is not known. !

To the passenger it signifies that after

When using the road, however, the sign

there is movement on foot to run Mr..
w. H. Henshaw. although that gentleman
is not member of the league. Should he
decide to it will be necessary for his
application to be sent In next week, at any

quite number of persons have been hold

ious to become members in time to vote
for the coming election which can be held
at any time during the period from October
10 to November 10
AT the first meeting of the local division
held at the rooms of the Washington Road
Club, then on 10Th street, 1t was decided
to hold monthly meetings, the first Mon
day in each month. After a recess of the
hot months the meetings will be resumed
the first to be held on Monday evening
1t IS possible that after this meeting some
arrangements will be made for the annual
election. The next regular meeting will
be held the first Monday in November, and
as this comes within the prescribed cleo

election will be held at this meeting.
section article ,, the league con-

states that no person shall be nominated

tunate1y the cracks did not appear to be in
condition, and did not ride in the manner
expected. TIE prizes were carried of by
comparatively unknown men. AT the cir
cult meet different state of affairs can
be locked for. f...,. -.
A letter was RECEIVED during the week
from Eddie G. Bald, stating that he would
not be in the city until tomorrow. He con-
templates riding at Newark, N. j.. today.
and after the races there will take train
directly for this city A sketch of him was
rcctn tly published in The Star. He IS 4
modest yoLrg man: He attributes his sue
,ess as a racing man to number of rea-
sons. He always endeavors to keep HIM
self in perfect oondit1on during the racing
season, being obliged to put up with many
privatioEs but as an offset he enjoys ex-
cellent health. When in a race he makes
a drive for the lead at the start and tries
to remain not lower than third man all the
time without straining himself He finds
it easier to keep up in this way than he
does to lag behind and push through the
bunch at the time for making squirt. He
has been extremely lucky in the matter
of falls and has had very few. He thinks
nothing takes the nerve out OF man so
much as one or two falls, and when riding
he never thinks of them, but rides the
tr ;ck with as much comfort as though he
was sitting in chair.
The storm of the week did considerable
damage at International Park, and cost
the management nearly $500 to repair the
grounds The high board fence on the
north Of the property, bordering the back
stretch, was blown down across the track,
while the grand stand was more or less
damaged as were also the bleac hers. The
repairs were made Thursday and yesterday.
and today the park presented its usual as
pect. The, track was damaged somewhat
by the rain. and the banking at the turn
slightly loosened For nearly three days
during the week the local riders were I'M
able to use 1.-The track and continue their
training for the circuit races.

and young Gardiner was working for him
when he bought his first wheel about May
l, 1893 The only time he had to ride was
after supper. and he never felt satisfied to
go to sleep unless he had covered twenty
five miles each evening. His first appear
ance on the track was at Chicago in Au-
gust, 1894. He won ten out of eleven Glass
in all but for an accident. The same year
at Denver he won five out of six races, and
at Syracuse three out of four. Since then
he has improved wonderfully, and Is now
up among the cracks.
The public will hardly understand why
the professional men will not start from
the scratch in the handicap races, which is
always the case when the handicap comes
prior to an open race. At the circuit races
the handicap, fortunately, comes at the
end, and that will matter but little in this
Instance. The reason is easily explained.
The open races are too evenly contested
nowadays for any man to kill chances by
riding fast in handicap. Then, again, the
limit men are usually some of the local
lights who are given a long lead, in order
that they may win and give glory to the
meet with local people who do not care to
See things too one-sided. The back-mark
men know this. and this is why they refuse
to ride.
Fred I.oughead. the young Canadian vino
started in racing in this country in 1885,
is a speedy man. He won all the honors
around the east, and came dangerously
c.ose to Z:mmerman's famous record of 101
frsts in one season. There is a story told
on him which be seldom cares to hear.

OF fast riders from whom some good work

attention of all the lovers of the sport who

ever held in the District. In this they are
not apt to be disappointed. and it is pre-
dicted that If 1t does not rain the track
will be in condition for the establishment
of several records. When in condition the
track at the park Is as fast as any track
in the country, and the circuit races will
afford an opportunity to demonstrate this
fact. the principal racing men all over
the country will be here to compete for
honors. At the Arlington race meet. on the

Grating of Plants.

All gardeners know that curious
plants can be produced by grating, and
to the country it is no extra ordinary
sight to see a tree bearing two kinds
of plum or pear as the result of it. Mr..
A. w. Sutton of the great seed estab-
lishment at Reading has lately describ-
ed in the Journal of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society a number Of interest
ing experiments made with tomato and
potato plants, these two being botani-
cally related to n another. A potato
1uber was planted, and when it had at
tanned the height Of a few inches above
the soil, the stem was cut off and a to-
mato graft was combined to it. AS a
result, the composite plant produced 4
crop of potatoes at the roots, while the
foliage above ground bore a crop Of
tomatoes, nourished by the potato
roots. The process was then reversed,
a potato graft being introduced upon
tomato stalks. The tomato roots did
not produce potatoes, but the potato
plant above ground first threw out po-
1ato flowers and berries, and afterward
produced tuberS from the axis of the
leaves and stems. In this case the des-
ignation of the potato rs a pomme de
