BRITISH IN AMERICA.

It II Estimated That They Own Twenty
Million Acres Here.
How much property do British SUBJ
jects own in America? The aggregate,
based on absolute facts, Is known to be
at least 30, 100000 acres, asserts Tit
Bits.
The largest Of all is probably the Tex
as possession Of the syndicate which
includes in its membership the Dukes
of Beaufort and Rutland, Earl Cadogan
and the Baroness Burdett- Coutts.
The total amount Of land held by this
association is $500, 600 acres. 1t is, as
Is the case with most of the Texas land,
largely composed Of what Is called
range country-that is, land that is
better adapted for cattle raising than
anything else.
Cattle and wheat are what the Brit
ish investor seems to think money
should be made on in the United States.
That is why the syndicate represented
by the British capitalist Vincent Scully
owns 5000, 900 acres Of land in Nebras-
ka, Iowa and Illinois. This property is
situated in the heart of the wheat grow
Ing section.
Two American girls, who now wear,

In Colorado, Wyoming and New Mex
leo. This is purely cattle country, and
on 1t range thousands of head Of live
stock.
There Is another syndicate which in.
cludes among its mem bers the Earl Of
Dalhousie, as well as Viscountess Cross,
Lady Hamilton Gordon, the Marquis
Cholmondeley and several others.
There is holding in still different
part Of the country, for the lands of the
syndicate comprise 100000 acres in
Mississippi, including cotton planta-
tions, acres and acres Of sugar cane and
enough swine to stock 1000 farms.
Lord Tweeddale Is a syndicate in
himself and owns 1,SOO.O 900 acres.
Like most individual land owners with
large holdings, his property includes a
vast territory which, like that of the
syndicate spoken Of, includes immense
tracts of grazing lands. Nearly all Of
this immense possession is devoted to
stock.-St. Louis Republic.

PLAGUE OF LEGISLATORS.
Why Some Of the States Once Had Tive
Capitals.

Why Some Of the States Once Had Tive
Baton Rouge freely translated means
red stick. That is the limit of my un-
derstanding Of the affair, however. It
is q quaint old town, consisting chiefly
Of river. When ! studied geography
several decades ago, knew that Louisi
ana had two capitals, one at New Or
leans and the other at Baton Rouge.
They have got tired Of entertaining
legislators at New Orleans of late years
and have unloaded the whole job upon
the smaller and more nearly defenseless
city.
Looking back to those old days, re-
call that Louisiana was one Of the very
few states which required two vents for
their legislatures. Connecticut was one,
with Hartford and New Haven as cap
itals, and Rhode Island, the smallest of
states, was another, with Providence
and Newport. Of late years there has
been sort of Capitalization Of capitals.
The fashion of having one at every en-
terprising City In state has fallen into
disuse. You might tramp all over any
Of the states nowadays and not run the
risk Of laundering into a legislature in
full blast where 1t might have been
least expected. / asked the Pocatello
man what he thought was the reason
for the wealth of capitals in earlier
times.
''In those days" he said, "the states
were young and tender and had not
fully developed their muscle and their
power of resisting great assaults. 1t
was therefore to distribute the evil OF
a legislature sitting over great deal Of
country SO as not to give any particular
city the worst Of it. AS time went on
and town showed especial hardihood
and ability to stand great calamity the
legislature was switched upon it as a
perpetual and permanent institution.
New Orleans and Newport and other
towns which In other days were capitals
had the good luck to draw two aces and
to win out, sending the legislature In
the one instance to Baton Rouge and In
the other to Providence. It takes game
town to stand persistent plague OF

How the Question Was Decided and
Bet Paid.
Two well known society swells went
to the Imperial theater one afternoon
when East Lynne" was the bill. A
few evenings before there had been dis
cussed at their club the subject of wom-
en- painting their faces. Several girls
were mentioned who were suspected by
their admirers of wearing an artificial
carnation bloom. Others defended the
young damsels and said it was natural.
How to find out and win wager
that was laid then and there was the
subject Of the young mems visit to the
Imperial
EAST Lynne is a play which ought
to make all women cry, they reasoned,
for it makes even mems Threats grow
thick. They sent tickets for reserved
seats to the girls under discussion, beg
ging them to invite whomsoever they
pleased Of their acquaintance, as they,
the donors, would not be able to escort
them.
The ruse was successful. In an upper
box sat the young men ready to win or
lose the wager, and right below, in the
parquet, where they could see their
faces and every move Of their hands,
were the young women. There were six
Of them, two Of whom shed copious
tears and hesitated not to wipe
them away with their handkerchiefs,
while the other four never WINGED.
Among those who did not cry were the
girls suspected Of laying on the red
pigment and it was on just that evil
dence that the bet hinged. That night
the wager was paid with supper at

for Whittier's song, 1--WE Are Coming.
Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thou
sand Strong" is an old and somewhat
decrepit piano tuner, who carries on his
business near Window, Mimi. His
name is A. B. Irving.
One day aoon after Lincoln's call for
300, 900 more men, Irving, then young
man, was ON his way to Defiance. O.,
from Fort Wayne for the purpose Of
singing at political and loyal meeting.
He had considerable reputation as a
composer and singer and the Republic
ans had asked him to come and hclr
them. On the way he read the poem,
which had just been published Irving
studied it, formulated tune, hummed
it and got the rhythm, and that even
ing at the Defiance meeting he SANG
the song for the first time. When he
had finished, and the last echoes had
died away, men mounted their chairs
with wild enthusiasm, swung their
hats and broke loose in cheers that rang
with feeling. He sang it again and
again. and they would scarcely let him
rest.
The next night he sang the song at
Fort Wayne, and again aroused the
same enthusiasm. He wrote out the
music and sent it to the publisher who
had handled what he had composed,
with instructions to publish it on his
usual terms of royalty. It was publish
ed, and inside Of month more than
20, 600 copies had been sold In few
days the publisher failed and Irving
never received a dollar for the music

NEW YORK TURF
SCHEDULE FOR 1898.

The Greater New York is the center
of sporting activity. Horsemen every
where arrange their plans for a new
year only after the racing dates for
New York and vicinity have been
agreed upon. Recently the question ot
dates for the New York racing associa-
tions was settled by the stewards OF the
Jockey club.
No important change in the schedule
of last season was made The first
racing about New York will be at Aque-
duct, but the real opening OF the sea-
son viii be al Morris Park, the change
from the Gravesend track to West
chester for the beginning OF the circuit
OF the big tracks made last year being
so generally approved by turfmen that
the new order is made permanent
There has been much talk OF the
Jockey clubs alleged injustice TO the
Brighton Beach and Saratoga Racing
associations in the allotment of dates.
but there appears TO be no cause for
complaint about the time given them in
the 1898 schedule. Both tracks wanted
clear dates. without opposition from any
nearby quarter; but as both race at the
same season, some measure OF confiict
could not be prevented.
AqueduCt has been we'll provided for
with dates for three short meetings.
The remainder OF the season is evenly
distributed among the Westchester.
Brooklyn and Sheepshead Bay tracks.
In the matter OF holidays. Brooklyn and
Sheepshead Bay have Jared the best.

Jockey club and also the American
Kennel club. What he is TO the Jockey
club was well demonstrated a year ago
when, during his absence in England,
things got 10 such a pass that the flu
ture OF racing In New York state was
In the greatest danger. The racing re-
ports teemed with suggestions and even
stronger comments regarding alleged
frauds. and TO such a pass had things
come that the Jockey club stewards
were forced TO undertake an investiga-
tion. What this investigation brought
about WAS the disqualification OF Riley
Grammar and one or two others. but
that was nothing 10 what Mr.. Belmont
accomplished i'm his quiet way on his
return liz putting a stop TO the paper
attacks 1t did not take him long TO
realize where the trouble was located
and that IL was more the rivalry of re-
porters 10 pose as authorities and keen
critics than any slump i'm turf morals
A very short time after his return
each turf reporter in New York re-
ceived a note stating that Mr.. Belmont
would be pleased TO have him come 20
the Jockey club rooms at stated
hour. and as il was "a personal matter
a request was added that no notice he
published of the meeting i'm advance.
All except one or two were on hand at
the time appointed. and on Mr.. Bel
nonts arrival he at once began his
talk, the gist of which WAS that unless
the persistent attacks OH the turf came
TO an end there would soon be an end
of racing. He stated that IL was inn
possible for horses 10 always run alike.
that racing could not be reduced To a
mathematical science and that that
must be recognized without any loss OF
time. The result of this talk was in
stantaneous change In criticism. and
all through the good Judgment OF Mr.
Belmont who knew that the best thing
10 be done was 10 apparently make
each reporter his confidant in the mat
ter and have him placed on a personal
footing as regards the turf future
In a similar manner the American
Kennel club owes its permanent estab-
lishment To Mr. Belmont, for at a time
when IL was being made n target for
lawsuits he assumed responsibility for
all expenses i'm defending any and all
suits brought against the club or its
officers and thus saved the day. Mr.
Belmonts first connection with sport
was probably his exhibition OF fox ter
ricrs. for he was one OF the earliest to
take up that breed I'm this country. be-
