OF the poor quality OF the envelopes in

The lecture proved to be an old friend

Mr.. Talmage announced a change Of

not understand them-neither did he. He
tended to say all the helpful things he
could on the present occasion, no matter
whether they were relevant to the subject
or not.
In Illustration Of the science of good
cheer, he compared the characters used in
illustration to portrait gallery, with dis
criptions under different circumstances OF
those who represent good cheer and the an

In the latter class is the fault-inder; peo-

cowboy costumes. and they gave the spec

lead.
Previous to the race. the proprietor of the

land rode Igo. j. Fuentes rode Petrarch, r.
Virgins rode M. F., and c. Kirkpatrick
rode st. David.
Leon, Igo and Petrarch were favorites.
Igo simply wouldn't start. and finally
wound up half hours delay at the pole
by breaking away from his rider and cut
ting across the fields for home at gait
that would have won him the race on the
track. The other horses then got away in
good shape, and pretty race ensued,
Petrarch winning by half length out OF
the bunch.
The exhibition run between a man and
a horse was tame.
The final heat of the pony race was then
called. Viola was a hot favorlte against
the field. and justified her hackers conf
