10 Wear to Field Sports-Women
at the Races-In Paris 1t Is Very
Fashionable to Attend Every
Race in a Different Toilette.
Gowns That Wear Very Well.

Paris, May Cone hears a great
deal about the early spring races. Hosts
OF stunning turnouts roll through the
Bots on their way out to the Long
champ track in the early afternoon.
The fashionable world seems more than
usually interested in the races this sea-
son.
The owners of the race horses here
belong to the royalty of France in
most every case. One is tremendously
struck by this fact in reading over the
list of owners. So one sees any number
of the women of the smart set present
at the races. It's interesting to watch
how cleverly these women do their bet
ting-all open and above board. A
bright young woman, who sat next to
me and seemed well posted on racing
matters, picked her winners, turned
over a handful Of gold to her husband
to stake and sent him to the pool on
her eTrand.

cloth. How the Scotch plaid got to
Paris no one knows. is was probably inn
ported as an English fabric, for the
Paris modistes do not copy the Scotch
in any way.
The skirt was perfectly plain, with
the plaids standing out in a very pro-
nounced way. The bodice was a seam
less one fastening on the shoulders. The
sleeves were Of the plaid. The odd
thing about the dress was its finish in
striped leather There was a belt Of

Bending far over the railing Of the

In the Presidents mail bag there are
always q lot of scraps-letters written
with pencil upon brown paper postals
made out of pasteboard. written full and
left at the White House in person, and
great rolls that on being unfolded prove
to be petition drawn up by some hobby
rider and signed by his friends. One OF
these petitions was six feet long and signed
entirely with one mans name. Lacking
other signatures. he had repeated his own
name upward of a thousand times, "to
make it emphatic" he said
II all the crank and anonymous letters

There is something very swagger
about these hOrsey men one sees at the
track. They generally wear long light
overcoats, padded tremendously at the
shoulders and fitting in at the waist
in an excruciatingly snug way. They
wear either beavers or soft felt hats of
the lightest shades of tan or gray; often
pure white. Patent leather shoes and
lights spats, too, seem to be the thing
to wear at the races.
CAREFUL TOILETTES.
In the feminine world the toilettes
for these spring races claim great
deal of thought.
They are the gowns that the coutu-
rieres have been at work on for months,
and they are quite the most elaborate
tOilettes that one sees.
mentioned to a French lady that, at
home the women do not think it eX-
ceedingly well bred to attend the races,
except for some great event like the
Brooklyn Handicap or the American
Derby, and that, even then, they do
not bet openly, wOmen's books be-
ing prohibited at many Of the tracks.
But she laughed at me. Your sporty

Tend the open-air horse shows and pick
out the points of a horse unerringly.
They wager money freely upon the re-
suit of college and professional games,
and. as for the races, they bet at home,
often making very neat stakes over the
breakfast table and cashing them at
dinner. I know" said she, because an
American lady of high position told me

of the bettors for she held her field

horses went to the post until theJ came

Executive Committee Decides Upon
Holding a State Convention.
Richmond, Va, May 20. .--Ata a meeting of
the Populist State executive committee
Thursday night it was decided to call a
State convention. Chairman Haskins Hob
son was authorized TO call such a body to-
gether in the city Of Roanoke on July 2s
This is just two weeks in advance Of the
Democratic convention, which meets in
the same place.
The resolutions adopted by the committee
declare "thatit is of the eutmostimportaDce
that the People party Of Virginia should
have full tiCketin the field this fall to ad-
vance the financial principles oc our party,
to enact such la wS as will insure a fair re-
turn of the votes s caStin all elections and
reduce the expenses OF government that
people may be relieved of part of the bur
densome and unnecessary taxation
The object of the Populists in putting up
ticket and adopting platform is generally
admitted to be for the purpose of gaining
concessions from the Democrats. 1t is be-
lieved that this policy will result in the
Democrats giving them the elieutenant-gov-
ernor and adopting panksin their platform
intended to please that element.
