BALTIMORE is THE HOTTEST CITY

There is little if any prospect of a
favorable change in the weather within
the next few days.
Charlotte, N. c., and Richmond are close
seconds to Baltimore, which for several
days has been the hottest city in the
United States.
AT 81 DEGREES.
The heated spell reached a 'hish-water
mark here yesterday, when about one
o clock the thermometer climbed up to 81
in the shade.
Few people were on the streets during
the middle of the day, and. those VINO
We're compelled to go out were almost
overcome by the rays from the sun ana
the intense heat arising from the pave
ments.
During the early part of the morning
there was q forecast Of another hot day,
and before o'clock the suns rays We're
almost as much feared as they during the
hottest part of the day.
If breeze stirred at all 1t was to blow
heat from ene Davements tin roofs, and
BRICK walks, giving very little relief to the
sufferers.
The barometer IS high over the Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys and over the north
Pacific coast, says Acting Director You;>;.
The low area in the northwest is central
in North Dakota and eastern Montana.
while another low pressure area has APP
peared on the New England coast. Rain
has fallen in Oregon and local showers oc-
Cured in Minnesota. the Lake region,
Texas and along the north Atlantic coast.
Fog prevails at Cincinnati. The tempera-
ture continues high over the Mississippi
and Missouri valleys, and thence eastward
to the Atlantic coast.
RECORDS BROKEN.
All records have been broken in Chica go
and many deaths and prostrations have
been reported.
The hot weather has brought out many
more additions to the shirt-waist clubs.

This week is probably the climax of the
business mans vacation period. There are
probably more away from the city this
week than any other of the summer
In many cases the vacation period is
shorter than in former years, owing to
the press of business.

stables last spring for $1,000 He was
then, as he is now, four-mlle champion,
and holds the mile and quarter record,
carrying 125 pounds, at 2:07.
Both of Mr. Smiths horses, George
Keene and The Cad, are named in num-
Der of steeplechase stakes on Southern
tracks this fall, and will soon be shipped
to Baltimore, but it is doubtful If either
he started. George Keene's quarter is
no shape to race with, and Mr.. Smith is
not inclined to ask The Cad to carry the
added weight. which would surely be
imposed upon the gelding by the handi-
cappers At Morris park The Cad won
the championship with 1853 pounds up.
but he will probably be asked to carry
fully fifteen pounds more If he races
again. Mr.. Smith will be at the Southern
tracks for a short time this fall. as he
has accepted invitations to ride several
horses in the Southern stakes. He will
have The Cad and George Keene shipped
along to whatever tracks he races over.
Both horses, however, will ultimately be
shipped to Worcester, and viii winter at
Grafton

in the race. They were inclined to take
Mr.. Smiths mount lightly, and chided
him goodznatHredly for undertaking to
win the national steeplechase event with
a cheap hunter, as one man expressed
it.
That's all right" said Mr.. Smith, I'm
starting my horse in this race because
he is good one, and even If he don't
win, you can, depend upon it that 1 will
get 500 worth of riding out of him be-
fore the finish"
With the bookles The Cad received lit
tie more attention than he did at the
hands of the millionaire owners in the
race. When they went to the post the
Cad was a 15-to-1 shot, whereas Plato
was hot favorite at to and the
Bachelor sold second In the lot.
The steeplechase course at Morris park
consists of Sc jumps, with number of
water jumps. Plato and The Cad went
out in the lead, and at the third jump
We're three or four lengths ahead of the

race Highly, the leader, fell, and The Cad
rolled over Highly. Mr.. Smith was again
picked up and carried from the field in i
state Of utter collapse. What followed
during the next hour is all blank to Mr.
Smith. While his owner was being laid
up for repairs The Cad was started in an
overnight race and came second to Baby
Bill. About that time came the final clos
ing of the National SteeplechaSe stakes,
and Mr.. Smith added The Cad to his first
entry of George Keene. The Cad was
shipped to Brooklyn In preparation for
the championship.
From that time until race day the
Cad was at Brooklyn. Mr.. Smith did not
have time to do all the work of schooling
and fitting the horse for the race, but
1t was ali done under his direction. He
had a daily report from his trainer,
showing each morning how many miles
The Cad had run the previous day, how
much he had eaten, and all other minor
matters that together form so import
ant a part in satisfactory fitting. The
same report was made regarding George
Keene, Mr.. Smiths other steeplechaser
and original entry for the national.
The Sunday night before the race
Mr.. Smith came to New York, and Mon
day morning schooled George Keene over
the course. The Cad being given the
same work at the same time, ridden by
Mr. Smiths professional. In taking one
of the jumps, George Keene cut a quar-
ter, but when the owner left Morris
Park for Worcester that night he still
had hopes that the injury would come
around all right, and that he would be
able to start George Keene for the cham
pionship. Thursday morning a telegram
from Smiths trainer announced the fact
that George Keene could not possibly
race on Saturday. Then Mr.. Smith be-
gan thinking about riding The Cad him
self, because he believed he could ride
that morse trifle better than any pro-
fessional jockey. Through an oversight,
due principally to the fact that the Cad
was little known, the gelding's name
did not appear on the list of starters
for the race on the night before. Ar
irving at Morris Park Saturday morning,
Mr.. Smith had no difficulty in having The
Cad added to the list.
SURPRISED THEM.
At the Norris Park clubhouse before
the race Mr.. Smith had dinner with
some of the other men who had horses
