tinuous racing was trotted at the

blue ribbon record.
There were two unfinished and seven
untouched races on today's program
when Starter Hoyt called the first field
ished, excepting the 2.10 trot, which had
to be decided in Carcalla's favor be-
cause of darkness, when he had won
but two heats. Hal B. IS mile in 2.051a,
made in today's 2.10 pacing stake, is the
fastest competition mile of the year, eX-
cepting the one by Searchlight, in 2.05A

laid Hal B. up in the first heat and
when he was turned loose he had no
trouble in taking the next three. Will
liam Me. won the first heat, but the
judges set him back to last for cutting
in on Rocn w. in the home stretch.
Thursdays unfinished 215 pace was
first on stoday's program, with but two
competitors left. The Maid won all the
way. In the Chamber of Commerce
Maud Emperor, with one
heat won yesterday, could do nothing
with Wandering Jew, who took the 9TH
er two. There was plunge on ]. B.
D. in the ZIP trot, and he won the first
heat all right. After that Copeland
had the speed, and was in front all the
way in the next two heats.
Both Lord Vincent and Prince of In
dia made a bid for the Hotel Cadillac
stake Vincent won the first and The
Prince the next two heats. Then Rob-
ert ]. was driven out and won the next
three in close finishes. Anaconda was
never in danger in the 2.04 pace, and
showed in front in all the heats.
In the M. & M. consolation stake
there was nothing that could touch
Wileask, and the little stallion won
both heats nicely. Arbuteskan had to
travel fast in the 220 pace, but he won
in straight heats. Most of the horses
and their owners, drivers, etc, left for
Cleveland tonight.

Organization OF 100000 New York
Workmcn Begun.
New York, June 2S.-The organiza-
ton of n great union of 500, 900 work.
men in Greater New York has been
begun by n committee appointed by
the Central Federated union. William
A. Perrine, secretary of the lronmoid
ers' conference bonrd, and one Of the
leading members of the committee,
said:
This new union will be the biggest
local central labor body on the face Of
the earth. All the unions in the five
boroughs of New York city will join
1t will be more powerful than many
great national and international,
unions and will have more influence
in one city than any labor organiza.
ton which has vel existed. The BUSH
ness of conducting the big bodies
which now exist independently will be
greatly facilitated. Employees also
will benefit by. the Capitalization of
central labor unions in New York city.
Strikes are bound to become fewer
in number year after year through the
influence of the great central organiza-
ton. The principle of arbitration will
triumph at last.
For twenty years the bricklayers'
unions have had no strikes. because all
brick layers have been in n union.
There are many fine examples of
Capitalization to be found in Greater
New York"

to accept the invitation extended through

yond the stately elms which had stood so
long before the old-fashioned house, his
thoughts went back to the days when, as a
boy, he played there and life was full of
careless gice.
The paper, blown by a little skit of wind,
rippled from his thin hands and fell at his
feet. He did not stoop to pick it up, but
let it lie where it had futtered. Presently
from the village just beyond the hills came
for a moment lighted up as he remembered
that it was the nations holiday, and he
thought Of the Fourths the years had carried
out to sea.
The door behind him opened SO softly that
he did not hear 1t, nor the footsteps which
came, gazelle:1ike, to his chair. When he
looked up 1t was to gaze into the face of a
fair girl whose hand had fallen lightly upon
his sleeve,
"You remember you asked about Tracy
yesterday" said the young maid.
"Oh, ~yes-Tracy Wordsworth" said the
captain. II had forgotten-almcst."
Did the young girl believe the captain?
She seemed to smile and for a moment her
gaze wandered from him.
II have just found one Of her letters-one
she wrote me last winter"
"Ah??"
THE last one l got from her, I believe.
She mentions you in it."
The captain grew interested.
II went to Manila last summer, yon
know, Harriet. Tracy? All, yes, I knew
her when I came back from school, but the
family moved away shortly after that
and"
The captains companion was opening q
letter with her dainty fingers and, strange
to say, he was watching her.
Tracy thought she might come back this
summer" continued the girl. "She had
heard somehow that you were away and
wished you a safe return" e
That's clever. I thought she had for
gotten me-"
"Not quite, as it seems. She never quite
forgets her friends, but"
The captain waited for the completion of
the sentencc, but it was not finished.

day, I believer" suddenly asked Harriet.
II believe l will. 1t is the Fourth, you
know, and I half promised Jackson that I
would help him celebrate it in old style"
"If you keep out of the sun You will get
along. I'm doctor now, yon see" and the
speaker laughed. II will order out the car.

fair face vanished and the captain was alone
again.
