SUBURBAN HANDICAP.
Ben Brush the Favorite for the Ken
Stake at Sheepshead Bay.

NEW YORK, June 20-The candl-
dates for the Suburban Handicap to De
run at Sheepshead Bay on Tuesday
next have been sifted down TO ten
starters. One by one the horses nave
fallen by the wayside, and the TOUR
top weights gave it up some time ago.
This leaves Ben Brush as the colt with
the highest impost, and he will have TO
shoulder 123 pounds. He is IN such
fine condition, however, that he IS like
Nv to be the favorite from this time out.
This seems to date from his last two
races.
One week ago yesterday he appeared
for the first time this season in the
East and ran capital race. Then on
Thursday last he carried IL! pounds
and won a fine race from Belmar at a
mile in 1:41$4, and looked as If he
could have gone in and made new tlg-
ure for this year at mile and quar-
ter.
Belmar is the next in weight, and his
121 pounds looks like a staggerer, as
he could not get anywhere near Ben
Brush on Saturday with 11S pounds up,
although he was badly ridden.
Helma comes next, with 40 pounds,
but as he had to be driven and logged
on Wednesday last, carrying IL
pounds, to beat Brandywine at a mile
in 1:42115, it looks as if his chances are
poor.
Howard Mann, at 11S pounds, and
The Winner, at 115 pounds, follow, and
one or the other Will represent Pitts
burg Phil with Belmar The Winner
second race, the Metropolitan Handi-
cap, was good enough to make him a
strong second choice, although few
expect him to beat Ben Brush. How
ard Mann is, of course, the faith of the
stable, in case of a wet track, in which
that colt is at home. 1t would be
strange if Sir Walter were not in the
big handicap, with 10 pounds on his
back. The game little son of Midlo-
THAN, however, is not as good as he
was once. but he still has a lot of
friends who will back him through sem
timent and follow him with good
wishes. Dutch Skater is next in weight,
with los pounds, and is looked upon as
having a fair chance. but he will be
figured as an outsider The light
weights are Lake Shore 104, Havoc 102
and Volley 90, and many are inclined
to think that the race lies here. Lake
Shore is very comfortably weighted for
a, horse of his class, and his second to
Doggett a short time ago at a mile and
a furlong, with 126 pounds up, makes
him the most dangerous colt of the lot.
Havoc will be well backed, in view Of
his race Thursday at mile and a
quarter, when, with ten pounds more
than he will have to carry on Tuesday,
he was a close second in 2:0912. That
ten pounds is likely to make a good deal
of difference to him. Volley ran third
in the Brooklyn Handicap, with four
pounds less on his back. He has not
been showing remarkable form lately,
although this may be accounted for by
the fact that he is owned by Father
BnP' DAILY. The field is not the best to
go to the post since the Suburban was
begun, but there is promise of a good
race, though not new record.

NO PRAYERS FOR HER MAJESTY.
The Episcopal Churches at Kansas
City Do Not Observe the DaY.

KANSAS CITY, June 20.-Because a
deputation from the local Queen Vic
toria Diamond Jubilee Association call
ed upon Bishops Glennon and Hogan
recently and asked them to order pray
ers in their churches for Queen Vic
toria, and did not wait upon the digni-
taries of the Episcopal Church with
similar request Rev. P. F. Duffy of the
Episcopal Church of Kansas City,
Kan, is deeply incensed, and resigned
from the association. In his letter of
resignation, addressed to British Vice
Consul Burrough of this city, he says
fragrant insult has been offered the
Protestant Episcopal Church, which in
England is the Church of England, and
through that church the affont has
been transmitted to the Queen AS a
result local Episcopal Churches to-day
did not offer prayers for her majesty.

BUTTE (Mont.), June 20-Coursing

popularity with the sportsmen of this
State, and a strongly organized and
wealthy club, called the Butte Cours-

Marcus DAILY. the copper king, as Presi-
dent, three ce-Presidents, and George

two dogs competing. The club will

nominal rental. Sportsmen here say
similar club is being formed at Ana

While blue is eminently and over
whelmingly the masculine favorite, it
is by no means SO general q feminine
favorite. The favorite woman's color,
standing at the head Of the female list,
is red. Roughly speaking, Of every 30
masculine votes 10 would be for blue
and 3 for red, while of every 30 femi'
nine votes would be for blue and for
red. Red and blue are thus much more
nearly equally popular among women
than among men. Other relatively
marked masculine preferences are fol
the colors related to blue (blue violet
and violet), and other feminine prefer
ences are for lighter red Tor pink and, to
less extent, for green and yellow.
Further men confine their selections to
relatively fewer colors than do women,
and, finally, while all men and women
alike are much more apt to choose a
normal than transitional color and
darker than a lighter shade, yet the tend
ency to do so (about the same in the
former direction) is markedly different
in the latter respect. Of IL men 10 would
choose among the darker colors and only
among the lighter for the most pleas.

The annual encampment of the Grand
Army of Vermont will take place at Ben
nington, June % and 20. Already
preparations and minor details for the
occasion are completed as far as prac-
ticable. Plans are being laid for the
biggest gathering OF Vermont VETERANS
for years, and fully 1000 are expected.
In addition score or more Of prominent
men from outside OF the state have been
invited. President Mckinley has been
invited to be present at the encampment.
The president has already signi6ed
desire to visit Vermont during the sum-
mer, and it is thought that sufficient
pressure may be brought to bear upon
him to induce him to come at this time.
The fact that Bennington was the old
home of Mrs. Alger, wife of the Secre-
tary Of War, some of her connections live
there now, may induce them to pay

Ministerial Association and Epworth
League Convention.

The ministerial association and eighth
annual convention OF the st. Johnshury
district Epworth League OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal church was held at Hard
wick, Iune 10 Monday evening, Tues
day morning and Wednesday afternoon
were occupied by the ministerial assoca-
ton and Tuesday afternoon, evening and
Wednesday morning by the leaguers.
Over thirty pastors were present and
over hundred delegates and visitors.
Presiding Elder Hamilton had charge OF
the ministers meeting. Many bright
and helpful papers were read. One OF
the most interesting features OF the
League convention was the "model junior
meeting" which was held by the little
folks of the local church under the dlrec-
ton of Mrs. w. S. Smitbers, superintend-
ent of the Junior Epworth League. The
children showed a large amount OF
practical training. This was followed
by a very unique and practica! address
on "Opportunites" by Rev. W. r. Daven-
port of Barre.
On Tuesday evening prizes were
awarded to the Hardwick League, the
Barton Landing League, and to two in
dividua members of leagues for doing
the best work in the study and commit
ting of certain portions of the scriptures.
The contest was inaugurated by Presd-
ing Elder Hamilton.
DIR. c. W. Rowley of Manchester, N. H.,
gave an able address on THAT motto of
ours" After very happy introduction,
he said among other things: "Our
motto look up and lift up, is the basal
principle of all living. True success is to
be attained only along this line. Young
people need knowledge of practical
affairs; practical training should be kept
along with intellectual training. 1t is
the duty of every one to make thor
ough preparation for Christ's service,
We should study to see how Christ
works, then operate on his plan. The
morning of life is the time to begin to
look up. By looking up we attain a
clear conscience, courage, purity, and
Joy and thus we are prepared to help
others. Weareto lift up the respondent,
the self depreciating, and those who
have lost character; thus we shall take
the world for God" Interesting papers
were read by Rev. e. W. Robinson and
Rev. w. H. White. Addresses were made
by Rev. w. E. Douglass and Rev. c. 6.
Gorse. The report of the district officers
showed marked improvement in the
work on all lines and was very crafty
ing.
Rev. S. c. Johnson of Newport, who
has done such efficient service during the
past year as district president, was re-
elected. Resolutions were presented by
Rev. w. X. Davenport, chairman OF COM
mttee on resolutions, thanking the pas
tor, Rev. w. S. Smithers, and the ladies
of the church, for such royal entertain
ment The convention was in every way
a success and will long be remembered.
