CUBA; Its Past. Present and Future-PoRTO
RICO; Its History, Products and Possibilities.
BY y. ID. Hall. New York: Street 4 Smith.
Two books are made into one, each with
Its own map and index, and a separate
treatment. The author wrote about Cuba
before the war with Spain was fully con-
Guided, SO his remarks as to the develop
ment of the island under a state of peace
are necessarily somewhat behind the fact.
He regards both Cuba and Porto Rico OPP
tinistically, seeing for them rich futures
now that the REFRESHING hand Of Spain has
been removed. The Information concerning
each Of the islands is well condensed and
arranged.

The worlds mile pacing record for a half
mile track has been smashed and re-
duced half a second This was &C
complished yesterday afternoon on the
track OF the Pennsylvania State Fair
Association, Bethlehem, Pa, by Prince
Alert, in the match race for $1,000
when he crossed the wire in the third heat
in 200, a half second better than the
wonderful record he made at Allentown
during September.
Ten thousand people cheered themselves
hOarse when Prince Alert scored 2:O6 Ia in
the first heat. but when the half-mile track
record was still further reduced in the
third heat pandemonium reigned supreme
for fully fifteen minutes. The day was an
ideal one and the track was exceedingly
fast. Several hundred Allentown sports
and turfmen Were III attendance and offered
money at strange odds, but in each case
the amounts were quickly covered. 1t is
stated upon good authority that at yester-
days races more than $4,000 changed
hands and several of the Allentown men
were heavy losers.

Probably every shoe store in
every city in the United States
has shoes to sell at $3.50, and
each, of course, claims superior
ity for his goods. No doubt
many are on an equality in all
points. We claim that our $3.50
Shoes cannot be and are not bet
tered at the price, and further that
they are the peer OF many selling
for S. bill. We are most par
ticular that every shoe is we'll

substantial, and that the feathers
chosen shall stand for good
looks, service and durability.
Choice of Winter Russell Box and Wax
