the elaborate menu is out of the ques-
ton, but we always give the insects all
the food necessary to sustain life, and
sometimes they actually fatten. Take

ravenous appetite and feeds almost
constantly. The juices of vegetables
not only keep him alive, but they give
him strength and energy enough to de-

BRIGHTON BEACH RACES.

Big Purses This Week-The Abbott and
Cresceus Enjoyable Routes from
New York City to the Mile Track.
The inaugural summer races at
Brighton Beach track have been an
nounced to open yesterday and continue
every day this week. The secretary of
the association is Charles A. McCully,
a man whose recognized ability has
made him extremely popular among
horsemen and patrons of the grand cir
cult races. For several years Mr.. Nc
Gully has followed the big circuit meet
ings as representative of several news
papers During these trips he has
formed an extensive acquaintance with
owners and drivers of the fastest horses
and has gained much information re-
garding the contesting trotters and pac-
ers. That the Brighton Beach race
meeting will be well contested is as
sured.
Three races are on the programme for
each day of the meeting, which is a
guarantee of attractive racing sport.
On Thursday the star attraction at the
track will be the special race between
Cresceus, 2:02A, and The Abbott, 2:03A,
which is to be a three in five contest, as
announced
AS no heat is to be called after $3.50
p. M except on Saturday, many pa
irons will have an opportunity to see
all the track events and return at an
early hour. New Haven patrons will
doubtless find the trip from this city
to and from the races very enjoyable.
Brighton Beach track may be reached
by several routes from New York city,
One route that will probably be extern
sively patronized is by Thrtyfourth
street ferry at East river and Long ISL
and railroad.

After the party had arrived and
while waiting for the CLAIMS, etc, those
who desired went over the barn and
looked at the live stock there. There
were at least twenty-five cows in the
barn. 1t was about milking time. Ev
erything in and around the barn, which
is a big one, is kept very neat and
clean. The tables were arranged ON the
veranda. The bake was prepared in

FELL DOWN FLIGHT OF STAIRS.
New Haven Woman Painfully Injured

South Norwalk, Aug. 12,-Mrs. James
e. Williams, of New Haven, who is Wis
iting her sister, at No. 19 West avenue
fell down a flight of stairs, about II
O'Clock, last night, and injured herself
quite badly, besides receiving a severe
shock.
Mrs. Williams had retired on the
second floor of the house. AT the time
mentioned, she took small hand lamp
and began to descend the stairs There
are three or four steps near the tor
that are winding, and Mrs. Williams
did not think of this. She lost her foot
ing and fell headforemost to the bot
tom, letting the lamp fall in crash or
the floor ahead of her
Luckily the blaze went out, or it is
likely that there would have been a
serious confagration, and probably
Mrs. Williams would have been badly
burned. She received a very badly
spraned ankle and other bruises.
