Strange as it may seem to find the

outside OF rapier fencing, they are un-
questionably foremost in automobil-
ism, says writer In Ainslee's Maya
zine. Their great racers-Charron.
Rene de Klyff, Girardot, and Levegh-
were well known as champions In
other sports before they made interna-
tional regulations with their fast rae
ing automobiles. Now they hold rec
ords for sixty miles an hour and tifty-
five seconds per kilometer, which will
be equaled probably. II not. surpassed,
during the coming spring races for
James Gordon Bennett's international
challenge cup. Since the great Bennett
races were inaugurated all France
seems to have given herself over to
automobllIsm, heart and soul. From
Calais to Biarritz, from Brest to Nice,
automobiles go humming over the
beautiful roads of la belle France. and
the smallest French roadhouses and
wayside inns now aspire to the title Of
automobile hotels. In summer the
automobilIsts are most apt to congre-

flock to Pau, Cannes, Nice and Monte

TEXAS, OLD AND NEW.
Impressions of New York Bu-ins.s Dele
Gntss After Their Tour.

gBtOs AFTER Thefr Tour.
The visit of delegates from the
Chamber of Commerce and the Mer-
chants Association, aud the presi-
dents tour through the state, have
drawn unusual attention to the
commonwealth Of Texas, whose ad-
vance in population, wealth. civiliza-
tion and political power is one OF the
most astonishing things in this won
derful epoch. says the .Sew York
Evening Post. The customary impress
SION of Texas, which obtains in the
North is that of very large but
rather arid country, given over mostly
to grazing, and inhabited by a rather
dangerous and lawless people, who
carry bowie-knives and reyolyers open
ly, and use them with little or no
provocation. The phrase gone to
Texas" still fingers in the speech Of
the older communities, implying that
the person who has removed to that
distant and vague region has gone
thither to escape arrest or to cheat
his creditors. The truth is that Texas
has passed through the early stages of
settlement in very much the same way
that Illinois, Wisconsin and the other
imperial states of the Northwest did,
half century, ago. She was at first
retarded by the institution of slavery,
by bad seacost and by the great dis
tances of land traye. which had to be
overcome in reaching her fertile
prairies. Texas now has 10000 miles
of railway and this mileage is rapidly
increasing. Only two states (Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois) exceed her in this
respect, and these will be soon out
stripped. Texas has no large cities as
yet. none with as many as 10000 in
habitants. but she has many large.
thriving towns, but these are growing
with the same rapidity as Chicago.
Indianapolis, Milwaukee. St Paul and
Minneapolis in the early 70s- All the
appliances of the higher civilization
abound in Texas. as in the Northern
states. The telephone, both local and
long distance, is found everywhere
Electric lighting is found in the small
er towns. and also water supply from
reservoirs, artesian wells conduits and
all the modern appliances for cleanli-
ness and health. Schools. churches
and universities abound. of type no
whit inferior to those Of the North.
except as the latter have the advan-
tage of age and the accumulation Of
the past These are among the things
which the visiting delegates OF New
York mercantile bodies have found in
the Lone Star state. They have seen
also the vast areas OF soil. yielding
wheat. cotton, and corn on alternate
fields. and vast herds of cattle finding
pasturage on the open prairie-not the
lanky. crooked-horned animals of the
7os and SOS, but the hner broods OF
Holstein. Jersey and Durham They
have also seen oil wells Of almost faou-
lous yield

Es,.s ue-ss Meat

It Ia said that the horse absttofr At
Linnton. which was shut down last
fall. has started up again. As ooodi-
tons are more favorable for Its sue
cessful operation. It is likely to bs
kept running indefinitely. About 500
csyuse ponies have been sent in from
the ranges, and Il is probable that
10, 900 will be slaughtered this year. II
is estimated that there are more than
10000 cayuse ponies ranging over the
country tributary to this market
Stoekmen are very anxious that those
horses should be driven away, to pre-
serve the ranges to cattle and sheep.
Horse meat has found favor in Swo-
den and Norway, and several orders
have been received from there,-Chi-
