Entries for the Suburban Prize at

NEW YORK, June 21-Sheepsheads June
meeting will open tomorrow with card
that will draw of the largest attend
ances ever seen on the course. The Sub
urban is the chief attraction. The field for
the handicap will be small. Probably only
eight will go to the post, possibly only
seven. Superintendent Frank Clarke said
to-day that he thought only seven would
sport silk, but he was reckoning on the
scratching of Volley. Father Bill Daily,
however, is apt to have a try for the money.
The probable Withdrawals are of Pittsburg

Quick Rise of HaIf-Breed Pauper

last Sunday, and she will lose no time
in shaking the dust of Seattle from her
feet. Five weeks ago she entered the
city mission, and, although she objects
to any statement which indicates thai
she was financially embarrassed, it was
learned that she was taken as a charity
case.
Prior to taking refuge at the institu-
ton Emma tried to make her living

REAL IRON HORSE.
An Invention That Promise, to Revo-
IutiOnfze Cheap LocOmOtfOn

After three years Of constant mech
anical experiment Joseph Barsaleaux,
a blacksmith Of this village, has in
vented steam horse that promises
to reVolutionize cheap locomotion. The
horse does not move on legs, but on a
single wheel about two feet in diameter
This wheel is attached to shafts, just
as is a live horse. Over the mechan-
ism, constructed on an oblong support
covering the top of the wheel, is the
frame of horse. The reins attached
to the mouth of the steam horse, when
pulled, will cause the animal to turn
in whatever direction the driver may
desire.
Mr.. Barsaleaux is not a common
blacksmith. He is a highly skilled
mechanic. He has attached his inven-
ton to a tWO-wheeled roadcart, with
the thills attached to the sides of the
steam horse, and has operated it with
complete success. The single front
wheel is tWenty-seven inches in diam
eter. 1t has a tire four inches wide.
On this wheel is mounted an American
motor, operated by a gasoline engine
There are three endless chains in the
makeup Of the invention. Two of the
chains run horizontally, while the third
operates perpendicularly, running over
a thirteen-inch sprocket attached to
the front wheel, and a four-inch
sprOcket fastened to a shaft directly
over it.
Six cogwheels operated by one rod
regulate the speed of the machine. At
present Mr.. BarsaleauX can run his
machine two, four, or six miles ali
hour, as he may desire. The particular
point on which Mr.. BarsaleauX is now
working is a continuance that will per-
nit the running of the vehicle back
ward without reversing the engine
AT present the machine weighs $50
pounds. Eventually, the weight will be
reduced to about $50 pounds. The
dummy horse that will cover the
machinery on the front wheel will re-
semble the horses displayed in carriage
factory warerooms. The vehicle at
present runs uphill more satisfactorily
than it does along sandy roads, but Mr..
BarsaleauX says that he will not he
long in overcoming all difficulties, and
that when 1t is completed the steam
horse will spin along thOroughfares as
a formidable rival of trolley lines He
has made no test of the steam horses
pulling power, but he believes that il
will be able to pull several times its
own Weight-Sandy Hill On. " Cor
