SMITH IS RULED
 OFF THE TRACK The Texas Horse Owner Says
 He Will Not Submit. MUDDY DAY AT HAWTHORNE The Horses Floundered Around in the Mire Like Plows-Racing Was
 All That Might be Expected
 Under the Conditions
MUDDY DAY AT HAWTHORNE

Chicago, July 24.-A sensa ton was sprung at the Hawthorne race track today. It was not in the shape of broken records, how ever, for the track was a sea of mud and the horses floundered around the track like announcement that the judges of Flaw thorne had received notification from the Washington Park officials that they have ruled J. H. (Texas) Smith, the widely known horse owner and plunger, off the turf Their actions, it was stated, was takea on the strength of repres entations to the Washington Park stewards by J. Carroll, owner of Catastrophe Carroll, 1t was reported, had charged Smith with ac- cepting $100 in consideration of an agree ment on his part not to claim Catastrophe out of the last selling race, in which the horse started at the Washington Park meeting. It was stated that Carroll's ale gation was substantiated by F. w. Doss. Smith declares the charges absolutely false, but his entry in the second flaw thorne race was scratched by the judges. Considerable trouble is anticipated in con- nection with the ruling off of Smith, as he declares he will not submit to the decision
 
 Today's racing was all that might be ex- pected in view of the wretched condition of the track Bangle and Danger Line were the only winning favorites. Abe Furst was the medium of a good-sized play and made the odds-on favorite, Heigh Ho, look cheap. In the first race Peaches opened at 12 to l and backed nearly off the boards, when the scratching of Trinity Bell caused the bookies to declare all bets off, and new book was made. Instead of 12 to l, obtainable before, the best to be had on Peaches was to 1. At that the ring was pretty badly scratched, for the lilly was never headed Track muddy.

Quoted by Japan are to be the most
elaborate and pretentious attempted by
any foreign government this year. ia
pan has been preparing for this event
for the past year, and intends to make
display that will impress the world
with her growing Importance as naval
power. Every ship available has been
mustered for the evolutions, and the
fleet will embrace all the new cruisers
and battleshlps of the Japanese navy,
together with the full torpedo boat
strength The Emperor is to personally
direct the operations, and the Crown
Prince his majesty, will act in the ca
pacity of supreme judge, while Viscount
Admiral Ito will be his assistant Six
ty-four vessels are to take part in the
maneuvers, the details of which are be-
ing kept profound secret; in fact, it Is
asserted that the japanese government
has decided not to permit foreign naval
attaches to witness the operations. This
Is probably an error. The programme
has been withheld from the public how
ever, as we'll as the locality where the
display is to take place. The maneu-
vers will be made to test the efficiency
of the naval establishment of every
branch, mobilization, efficiency of arms
engines and guns, scouts, etc. The mo-
bilization in turn will comprise the ship

and other supplies, while the naval
yards will be made to work night and
day in order to ascertain their true ca
pacity under pressure in the way of re-
pairing damaged ships in cases of emer-

out by two opposing fleets, and second
game will be played with the entire fleet
united in an attack upon an imaginary

DREADFUL STATE OF CAPTURED
BOERS.

The thing was CALAMITY done, and
we may all well be proud of this
achievement Of the Canadians. An ex-
animation of the lager disclosed
state of affairs which it would be I'M
possible to describe. The wreckage
and confusion were bad enough, but the
filth and stencil were such as to make
one feel sick.
Within a space of one hundred yards
lay over forty dead horses and half
dozen dead oxen. Men themselves
We're only buried ST xinches beneath the
soil. No regard had been paid to sanl-
tary arrangements at all They drank
the water within a few feet of putre-
flying carcass.
Wounded men lay about uncared Tor,
their wounds undressed, left to look
after themselves In most cases gan
creme had set in. Slight scratches
which with ordinary care would nave
entailed two days rest only, mad de-
veloped into huge liberated cancerous
sores. Our doctors, who took charge
of over two hundred such cases, declare
that nine-tenths must die. Compared
to the horrible conditions under Whlch
the Beers had for the past ten days
lived, our fire was mere childs play.
1t proves the indomitable pluck-eall II
obstinacy if you like-of Cronje. 1t
was only the General that mace the
men hold out so long.
The prisoners for the most part
seemed pleased when taken. CronJe
was sullen; beaten but not crushed
foe. To us it felt like death to remain
five minutes in the place where the
Beers had spent ten days. ones stom-
ach turned against the fetid stencil or
rotting bodies For a day one could
not get the smell out of ones nostrils.
Yet the prisoners declare that had 1t
not been for the Canadians getting so
close to them they would have held
out for some days yet; and with food
it would have been weeks before they
would have surrendered.
AS regards the first reason OF their
surrender, 1t may be interesting to say
that one prisoner told me that they all
knew that we were longing to wipe out
Maiuba, and that they thought that II
they allowed us to charge with the
bayonet none Of them wuld have been
allowed to live, even had they shot our
soldiers down by hundreds. The
Boer, besides having wholesome
dread Of cold steel, Is capable OF argu-
ing with himself.-War correspondence

TO THE FRONT WITH A PLOUGH.
An amusing incident, expressive of
the frame Of mind in which many
members of our gallant auxiliary forces
are going to the war, occurred the
other day at the Albert docks during
the embarkation of yeomanry contin-
gent for South Africa. One OF the
troopers appeared on the scene with
vehicle containing a plough, and ne
earnestly asked that he might be per-
mitted to take this useful implement
of agriculture with him, as after the
war he intended to settle down in the
Transvaal and start farming. The en-
barkation officer stood aghast at first
but ultimately when he found the
he allowed the bucolic warrior to STOW
away his plough, and sent off happy
future colonist and enterprising cltlzeh
of our new empire. London Telegraph.

nant trimming, the only other garniture
being red satin in folds about the crown
and in loops. Such counterfeit fruit are
apt to dominate any hat on which they
are put, but often they are accompa-
MED by much freer trimming than IN
this example,
Chrysanthemums of enormous propor-
lions are shown in ell colors for nat
trimming. The little taffeta or tulle
hats that have been trimmed with
great bunch Of velvet in front take on
new lease of popularity because great
chrysanthemum may be substituted Tor
the velvet. These flowers come nearly
as big as your head, and all ragged
fringe like the real thing. In black
they are chiefly favored, though white
and yellow run black hard. One is
usually enough for the trimming or one
hat but now and then two are crushed
together.
Roses have the call in the milliner's
greenhouses And they are dollhouse
growth, no mistake! Such colors never
grew out of doors. "Roses are red, vio-
let's are blue" is a discredited rhyme
for your latter-day roses are green, pur-
pie or dark blue! They are handsome
enough, and quite stylish, but artificial
flowers of recent years copied nature SO
closely that it seems pity to depart
from the steady improvement that had
been made in that direction. This year

Autumn foliage is plentiful and com
mendably life-like. FLORETTE.
