FLEETWOOD PARK RACES.
Town Lady and Silver Chimes Win the Purses
q 12 Trot Unfinished

New York, Sept. 9.-The card, today,
at Fleetwood parks Grand Circuit
meeting was strong one. though the
blue pencil played havoc with the j.
minute trotting class, reducing 1t to q
couple of starters, Town Lady and Miss
Jay. The race was a picnic for the
former who won in slow time.
The 220 pace proved to be good
thing to the hacker of the favoritc. as
he won in straight heats and in each
case had a little to spare As the track
is a little slow his time was fully equal
to 2.07
tAntting was lively in the PIP trotting
class. Fred Kohl drew the pole and he
and Grace Hastings would do anything
but trot, and caused seven false starts.
When the party got the word, Derby
Princess sailed at once to the front and
led all the way TO the wire with Alca-
Galia two lengths behind.
In the next the Princess led to the
half where she was passed by Emma
Offutt who led up to the hill with Van
Zandt and Fred b. close up. In a
bruising finish the latter won by half
a length from Van Zandt with Emma
Offutt a good third.
After scoring for half an hour the
race was postponed to the next day.

HORSE STEAK.-A dispatch from
Paris, KY, to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
under date of the 26th ultimo, says:
"Probably the most unique supper
ever given in the Blue Grass section
was served in this city, when dozen
residents partook of choice tenderloin
and sirloin steaks cut from a yearling
thoroughbred filly, sired by the famous
Hindoo, at Runnymade Stock farm,
near Paris. While DR.. G. w. Jane
son was spaying a filly for Clay &
Woodford, with view to improving
her racing qualities, the illy jumped
and an artery was severed, the filly
bleeding to death. DR.. Jameson cut
choice tenderloin and sirloin steaks
from the animal, and kept them four
days in his refrigerator.
The flesh was clear, though slightly
darker than that of a beef. DR.. jam
eson had the steaks cooked, and they
were served, embellishec with bread,
pickles, sauce, etc., to dozen Paris
ians one night at Boardman's livery
stable. DR.. Jameson says the flesh
from the 6lly was as tender and sweet
as any spring lamb he ever ate, and
that it tasted more like fresh shoat
than beef"

OLDEST BANK IN THE WORLD.

1t will probably surprise good
many people to learn that the Oldest
bank in existence is the Bank of Ns.
piles, which has lately been passing
through such troublous times. The
British consul at Naples in his report
for last year furnishes some details of
the foundation of the bank in the Six
teenth century and points out that the
earlier banks, the Monte Vecchio, of
Venice, and the Banco San Giorgio, at
Genoa, established in the Twelfth CEN
tury, and the Bank of Barcelona,
established in the Fourteenth century,
have all ceased to exist. The report
fixes the foundation of the Bank of
Naples at 1889, and the institution is
therefore far older than the Bank of
England, which was established in
1894. 1t is in the unique position of
having a considerable capital to which
no one lays any claim. For the expla-
nation of this curious state of affairs
one has to 90 back to the time when
the Neapolitans, in order to receive
Charles V with great pomp and mag
ni6cence, obtained vast loans from the
Jews against valuable pledges. The
difficulties of repayment were solved

tered the officer, compressing his lips.
He was not only resolute, but he would
prefer death to having the tables turned
on him in 80 disgraceful fashion. He
could never face one Of his associates
after such humiliation.
He placed his hand on the revolver at
his hip and Strengthened up with his
eyes turned to the rear. He expected an
order to hold up his hand and was ready
to meet such command with pistol
shot.
But as in the case of the man who
shadowed me this individual was too
alert to be caught He stood silent and
motionless among the shadows, SO that
neither of the men could locate the other.
A startling complication impended.
The deputy in circling about so as to
come upon the criminal from the other
direction would approach the marshal
under the belief that he was the mis-
creant for whom all this risk was incur
red. The blunder would give the GRIM
inal time to get away before the mistake
could be corrected.
Standing thus, sorely puzzled to de-
eide what to do, the officer again caught
the soft rustling behind him. Yes, a
man was there, and he was after Mar

But at the moment the officer was Ger.

The singularly caught officer felt that
he must do something. He could not
stand idle until the bolt descended upon
his own head.
His inclination was to turn about and
leap upon the one at the rear. He peered
into the gloom, waiting only for the
moment when he could discern even
family his outlines.
But, suddenly changing his mind at
sight of the dim figure in front, he lev

the pledges to their original owners at
reasonable profit on the transaction,

Among the numerous sailboats NOV

son, opposite the upper part Of the city
Of New York, on that pleasant evening III
May, was roomy craft containing three
persons. One was the master, while the
others were a heavily armed United

They cruised for a time, seemingly
with nc object except the pleasure Of

in where the water was deep enough to

double, born upon the same day. Harold
