this gown so unusual an amount OF novelty
and style is the way the back md front q

of one deep vanaykc of the white serge;

A close sleeve of wrinkled lace. net, chiffon

drapery at the top, and the whole tendency
OF fashion just at present Is toward less

utilizing short lengths Of lace. silk. and en-
broidery. Pretty boleros for renovating an
old muslin gown are made Of lace lined with
batiste. or Of tucked white muslin trimmed
with frills OF narrow lace. Others are OF
lawn, with insertions of lace and frill OF
lace on tie edge. These are made very
short, the wide folded belt fills in the space

the result while the amount Of material re-
ouired is very small. Boleros are decidedly

THE HORSE.

STAN B., 2:11M, is the only stallion in
California that has trotted a mile be-
low 2:12 this year.
Zon1bro, 2:13, the king Of the Califor-
MIA trotters last year, Is decidedly on
this year, and has not started in race
on the California circuit.
Since w. Stimson has been rendered
unable to drive on account of his broken
shoulder blade, Charles A. Durfee has
been made pilot of his string of good
horses.
Benjamin Benjamin, the programmer
of the Los Angeles Fair association, has
created new set of races for the meet
ing here which will do more to revive
this industry than any heretofore de-
vised.
Ottinger. 2:1O1A trotting and 2;11h
pacing, made his record at DOtn galts
without hobbies.
Bill Frazier, the black PAGER in Lee
Shaners string ought to be good for
mile In 2:1O or better next year.
Winship & Keating won over $4,000
in purses and stakes at the state fair.
Agitato, 2:09A, is the "phenom" Of the
California circuit this year. This three
year-old son of Steinway is race horse
of the first class as all his races show.
He should get the mark next year close
to 2:06.
It is aid that Winship & Keating will
dissolve partnership Nov. 1st, and that
Winship will assume ownership Of what
Is the greatest string Of harness horses
ever gathered together on the Pacific
coast. In the string are seven who can
go better than 2:15. The most noted of

j. Streets and Jimmy Mack, owner and
driver of Waldo j., the pacing wonder
of Ventura county, says the Breeder

j. was given UP as dead to the pacing
world. The only man who entertained
any hope that he might pull through
was Dr. Streets, who fought night and
day for the one chance of saving him.
Last night the change came, and hope
is now entertained that the white ghost
will round to and live to make a lower
record than 2:0S, at which notch he now
stands. Waldo j., born and raised in
Ventura county, is looked upon by the
general public as their personal prop
erty, and congratulations are pouring
in from all sides, now that the word has
gone forth that he will live to repeat
his former victories in the harness d.

hunting and fishing trip in the wilds

his trip and the splendid game country
in which he has been during the last
three months. The party penetrated
parts of Coos county, heretofore lf1-
known to the foot of white men, break
ing some thirty miles Of trail through
a virgin country full of game both large
and small They found the streams
fairly alive with trout of large size and
most of them eager for the fly. Mr. Van
Dyke Is especially enthusiastic over the
fishing in the headwaters of the Nc
Cloud and Rogue rivers and the tribur
taries of the klamath lakes. He visited
Crater lake and the many other inter-
esting spots of that section, covering on
the trip a vast stretch of country rarely
visited by the sportsman and but little
known even to the most venturesome
mountaineers. The vast information
obtained on this trip and the solemn
grandeur Of the unbroken forests will
in all probability appear later in book
form as an addition to the charming
sportsman's library produced by hi1
eloquent pen.-Field Sports.
