She had a three years course there and
then with the most amazing industry,
prompted by a strong, deep love of her art,
she began to work at art as a profession.
Perhaps one of her first most successful
endeavors was done only for fun and it con-
sisted of the building and p~eopling Of one
of the completest miniature theaters ever
seen. The stage measures scarcely more
than eighteen inches square, but its accom-
paniment of scenes. actors and costumes
is SO perfect and luxurious that any man

FORM NEW RACING CIRCUIT
sixteen Cities Where Fast Horses
Will De Seen During the
Coming Season.

Harness horse owners formed the biggest
trotting circuit in the history of the west
at Chicago a week ago. 1t is an outgrowth
OF the great western circuit of last season,
but includes a good many other cities, in
Guiding some that have in the past been
members Of the grand circuit. Not only IS
the circuit big in number of cities, but
the values OF the purses that will be hung
up Will be large, averaging about $4,000
a meet. Racing will on July 3
and will continue uninterruptedly until
October IA. In continuity Of racing and in
size OF purses the new circuit will be ahead
OF the grand circuit.
AS has been said, all the cities repre-
sented in the grand western circuit OF last
year will appear in the new circuit. In
addition Chicago, Peoria, Terre Haute, Louis
vile and Lexington and four cities of the
grand circuit-Detroit, Fort Wayne, Cleve-
land and Columbus-were added. Under
an agreement the two circuits will work
together and the dates named by the eastern
circuit have been accepted by the western
men. The schedule arranged is as follows:
July 3-s, Davenport; July 1915, Peoria;
July l7-23. Detroit: July 2i-29, Cleveland;
July Sl-August 3, Columbus; July 3l-August

The question OF having races decided In
Omaha daily bee., 1899-01-29

have been generally accepted as the
proper thing and the almost universal
form. there are many makers Of repute ex-
hibiting models with outside joints. About
10 per cent OF the exhibitors are using the
old but substantial style. Of joints. Seem
ingly the inclination toward an exceedingly
low drop of the crank hangers reached it's
food last year. In the 1899 models no one
showed any increase in the drop, while a
few makers manifest a disposition to re-
treat by raising the hanger a quarter or half
an inch above the line given to it in 1898.
What is known an the three crown" pat
tern In construction was quite prominently
displayed. the rear forks and backstays
coming in each. case to an oval crown and
being Joined at the bottom bracket or seat
post lug by a single stem in the same way
as the front forks are connected with the
head. Where the three crowns are not
used. the rear braces. both the lateral and
diagonal ones. are run close together before
being Joined to either the seat post or
bottom bracket cluster. This shows a ten
dency in the direction OF the three crown
style, which is decidedly neat and symmet-
rical, although its mechanical value is
questioned by more than a few. There
seems to be a tendency TOWARD OVERRIDING
the neCtness Of appearance by making the
single stem connecting rear forks too light.
In women's wheels the doubly curved tubes
for drop frames are used almost unlver-
sally.
Although plenty OF multicycles. tr'plets
and "quads" were present. the scarcity OF
randems was noticeable. This is due to
the fact that the manufacturers do not push
the sale of the two-seaters because there
is not a sufficient profit In them at the rul-
ing prices.
In chainless wheels a notable advance has
been made By the concern that originally
introduced this style, The Improvement
consists in making the driving shaft so
that any rider can adjust the bevel tooth
gears about as handily as a chain can be
adjusted. This is ACCOMPLISHED by means
OF companion nuts. one OF which fits on the
end OF the shaft outside Of the hub pinion
wheel and the other on the inside. When
the inside nut Is loosened and the other set
mp the pinion moves along the shaft he
cause of a couple of offset arms that fit into
a groove on an inner shoulder. A new
combination pedal that Is without side bars
and individual with a stirrup toe clip Is
shown.
On the general run OF wheels the handle
bars seem 10 be higher and wider. In cases
where drop bars were shown the widening
was more marked. A great variety OF gas
lamps was one OF the most prominent char
acterlstlcs OF the show and an assortment
OF sundries ard novelties OF all kinds was
displayed. There was only one wheel with
a changeabie gear TO be seen.

While working at the theater merely to
amuse youthful relatives. she turned her
hand to larger work and having collected a
number OF the legends current among the
negroes OF Jamaica. she set out to illus
trate her book. The volume OF Annarcy
Stories was the outcome. which is illus
trated by twenty-five full-page pictures
from Miss Smiths hand. beside the cover
design, which is her own work.
Annancy is a perfectly new character in
fairy lore; he Is a spider who possesses a
mother, and he Is as beloved an elf among
the Jamaica negroes as is Brer Rabbit among
the negroes Of our southern states. In the
quaint dialect of the simple island blacks
Miss Smith has told the stories. while she
has looked straight into fairyland to find
the models for her pictures.
With the most astonishing invention. i'm
agination and humor she has pictured a
series Of strange. alluring little people, who
cannot fail to win the childish heart and
at the same time delight appreciative grown
folks. Indeed 1t Is very sale to say thar

is the same lively Imagination. love OF
striking but always essentially decorative
color effects and the unfaltering innate

Miss Smith is an American girl to be
proud OF and one whose future can be
reckoned on as surely as a love OF industry
and her art and a very great deal OF talent
and ambition can guarantee 1t.

struction was not glaringly evident in
