Wonderful Horses.

In the Italian army horses are taught
10 do some wonderful things. There
are many mountains in Italy, and the
soldiers have TO ride over some very
rough country, so they train their
strong, wise horses to climb over steep
places. First they ride them up small
gravel banks, making them go up and
down sleeper places every time unit
at last the horse will put its fore feet
over high bank that is almost straight
up, sit down upon his launches and
slide down, giving mighty leap, when
near the bottom, that lands him square
on his feet-N. Y. World.

the Hewitts and Twomblys. In this
way millionaire spreads out over a
good deal of ground and pays taxes TO
several different townships. In fash
ionable locality nowadays you can get
more per acre for 200 acres of land than
for ten acres; more for land two miles
from n railroad station than for lots in
a village. Farmers who happen to be
in the track of one of these social move
ments to the country are fortunate in
deed.
Perfect roads make distance of no ac-
count in these farm colonies of fash
ionabies. Ten miles means a half hour
dash with an automobile, little longer
behind fast team. Daily visiting goes
on over much wider area than that.
People five miles apart call themselves.

want of railroad station? The sta

and about the time l have concluded
that the princess is to be the distinctive
feature they will practically disappear
and something else will be the promi-
nent feature for day. And so it goes
from one thing to another, and back
again. The prophecy of the early
spring that this season would be one of
many styles, and that every woman
would be able to choose what suited her
best without fear of being out of fash
ion seems to have been realized, and no
two women here can be said to be dress
ing anywhere near alike.
The material that think have seen
oetenest during the past week is lace or
yelling. I believe that half the women
here have lace gowns, although nothing
like that proportion have worn them as
yet. This is especially true of the wom-
en- who went to London for the season

rlesh- upon m e old
skates, galvanizing them into surpris-
ing bursts of speed, but It is not likely
to be tried upon any horse worth money
belonging to a racing owner of any
substance. And yet, after Sloan's SEN
sational series of victories in England
began, other jockeys couldn't believe
that he had won fairly. They used to
bore holes in the sides of his sleeping
quarters and bride his washerwoman
for a chance to look at his clothes, hop
ing to find traces of hidden electric
wires. Sloan has not been winning so
steadily lately. The English jockeys
have been quick to adopt his methods.
SO far as they find them useful, and
there is no more talk about electric bat
teries.
Another famous American has been
having as hard luck as Sloan in sporty
Britain. Mr. Richard Cookers horses
have proved for the second time dis
appointment to him.
1t takes long purse and knowledge
of the game to win the classic races in
England. Lord Rosebery, while still a
schoolboy, announced his life pro-
gramme to be: To become prime min
lister; to marry the richest heiress in
England; to win the Derby. He did all
three While Englishmen born con-
tinuc to place the winning of the Derby
and the prime ministership in the same
category, it is not going to be easy for
Americans to get that race away from
them. Or any other race that is worth
while. OWEN LANGDON.

The low necked bodice is cut square and
is tight fitting. The tight sleeves are
the full length of the arm. The bodice
is finished at the waist line with band
of velvet with a bow at one side where
it is fastened with buckle and a vel
vet collar fastened with a diamond
buckle in front. The extreme richness
of the lace makes any other garniture
unnecessary, and the gown is the more
beautiful because of its extreme plain
ness.
For the same occasion a sister of this
lady, who is here to spend the season,
will wear a gown of the same material
made with 1ounced peplum which
falls in deep points over a trailing I'M
derskirt. The low necked bodice is cut
round at the neck instead of square, and
is finished at the waist line with belt
of white satin finished with buckle Of
pearls at the side, and collar of three

| wished to get money needed by his in
stitution. Mr.. Huntington was most
| urbane and agreeable; he did not deny
that the money would be but a trifie
for him, but he said, and has since re-
peated it, that he did not believe in the
value of the higher education.
Mr.. Carnegie, with $50, 100000 to give
away, will give little of it to colleges,
| unless It is accompanied by conditions
like those offered to the Birmingham
school, that it must make its science de-
partment the most important and the
| best endowed.
There are men in business in New
York, like Henry Clews, who prefer not
| to employ college men. Some will not
have them at all. This is not matter
| to worry about. 1t is not the chief end
of man to bull and bear prices and rob
| lambs of their f1eeces. have no doubt
that this can be better done, on the
whole, by those who have begun life as
Wall street Office boys, but it is not the
only thing worth doing.
Do you not think that this lessening
regard for college rank is in part the
result of money ostentation; of callow
youths with down upon their lips wav-
| ing $500 bills to bet upon their crews;
of the disappearance, except from the
small colleges, of the old poor student
type? 1t may be. after all, that the big
boat races, with the columns upon col
umns devoted to them in the papers, are
la poor advertisement for the higher ed
ucation.

there, for they brought them home with
them. The prettiest lace gowns that
have seen either in New York or here
were of London make, and the modistes
of that city seem to have a faculty of
getting the best results from this beau
tiful material. The London made lace
gown is ahead of both those made in
this country, Paris or Vienna, although
the latter place must be considered very
close to London, and there are several
Vienna gowns here that will be worn
before the season is very far advanced.
A day or two ago lady here showed
me q lace gown which she brought back
from London with her, and which she
is reserving for an occasion when she
will entertain society at Newport. 1t
is a remarkable gown, and it's equal will
not be seen very often anywhere.
This particular gown is of Luxeuil
lace. The skirt is arranged in a par
ticularly graceful way with double
founces commencing narrowly at the
waist and widening as they sweep down
the front and curve around to the back.

TaHE Newport season opened early

CTSHE Newport season opened early
this year, thanks to Willie Van
- derbilt and his bride, who came
here to spend their honeymoon. The
society people who went to London for
the season there have hurried back to
see the opening of the summer season
at home, with the exception of few
who will remain abroad for the sum-
mer.
The warm June days are bringing out
the novelties of the season very early,
and judging from the first week or ten
days that we have seen so far the sea-
son at Newport will surpass anything
the place has ever known before.
For a week 1 have watched the styles
here and yet L cannot say what the dis
tinctive feature of the season is to be.
In fact l. do not believe there is to be a
distinctive feature. One day I will see
an unusual number of princess gowns,

ing the past seven years and broken
the records of all the local country
clubs which he has visited during his
summer vacations in California, Cana
da and New Hampshire. A strong fea-
ture of Pyne's playing lies in the fact
that he never gets ratified and never
hurries himself. He plays his steadiest
game when he has four down and
four to go. Pynes driving and putting
are his strong points. His driving is
exceedingly long, and his stroke is
very accurate. The thing that Impress
es his rivals and is noticed by all golf
experts is the Garrison finish he is
capable of making nine times out of
ten.
The Princeton varsity "P" has been
heretofore an exclusive possession of
the varsity football, baseball and track
men. An exception will be made in
Pyne's case, and he viii be the first
Princeton golfer to be awarded this
honor.
