Since the weather has become more set

has rapidly gotten itself into fine condi-

on July 18th, the grounds will be filled
with the choicest selections OF horses in
the country. The program of three races
day will afford treat to the lovers of
the light harness horse which will be UNI
surpassed anywhere. From Hartford,
Conn, alone there will be shipped direct
TO Detroit twenty-five of the most sensa-
tional performers composing probably
the most valuable shipment CT horseflesh
ever made. Alix, Azote and Fantasy are
reported to be in the very best condition,
assuring very fast miles in the free-for.all
trot, with all the probabilities in favor of
new race record for trotting horses.
From the various centers where trotting
has commenced the Detroit entries are
reported as winning races in fast time.

Tossed on the Foarning Billows

You may never have been, but If you
cross the Atlantic, no matter how smooth
the watery expanse, without sea sickness
you are-well lucky v0yager, that is all.
Old tars who have spent their lives on the
ocean waves, who were almost born, so to
speak, with their ''sea legs on" suffer now
then from sea sickness In very tempestuous
weather. Sea captains, tourists, commercial
travellers and yatchsmen say that there Is
no finer safeguard againt nausea than
Hostetter's Stomach BItters, and 1t has
been equally reliable as preventive by
invalids who travel by steamboat and rail-
road, and who sometimes suffer as much In
those conveyances as ocean travellers do in
steamships. Biliousness, constipation. sick
headache and disorders of the stomach
caused by oppressive climatic influences
or unwholesome or unaccustomed food or
water, always yield to the Bitters speedily.
This popular medicine also remedies rheu-
matte, kidney and nervous disorders, and
the infirmities incident to increasing years.

A Humorous Tramp.

The tramp in real life, bereft of the
picturesque atmosphere with which the
comic papers surround him, is by no
means a hideous creature, but q sub
urban resident claims to have discovered
one with vein of humor which would
bring JOY to the heart of the comic par
agrapher. "The fellow stopped at my
residence" remarked the suburbanite,
"and asked for something to eat. My
wife CHANGED to be in the kitchen, and
she told him he could have some dinner
if he would first saw some wood. This
the tramp agreed to do and repaired
with the saw to the wood shed. After
half an hour had elapsed and the hobo
had not come TO claim his reward my
wife determined to investigate. Going
to the shed, she saw that both tramp and
saw had disappeared, while the wood
pile was undisturbed. A piece Of dirty
paper pinned to the door caught her at
tention, and after considerable difficulty
she deciphered the message, which read
as follows: Just tell them that you saw
me, but you did not see me saw. %
