SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.

From the window of the chapel softly
 sounds an organ's note, Through the Wintry Sabbath gtoamlns
 drifting shreds of music float. And the quiet and the frelight and the
 sweetly solemn tunes Bear me dreaming back to boyhood and
 its Sunday afternoons; When we gathered in the parlor, in the
 parlor stiff and grand. Where the haircloth chairs and sofas stood
 arrayed, a gloomy band, Where each queer oil portrait watched us
 with a countenance of wood, And the shells upon the whatnot in dust
 less splendor stood. Then the quaint old par1or organ, with the
 uilaver in its tongue, Seemed to tremble in its fervor as the
 sacred songs were sung As we sang the homely anthems. sang the
 glad revival hymns Of the glory of the story and the light no
 sorrow aims. While the dusk grew ever deeper and the
 evening settled down, And the lamp-lit windows twinkled In the
 drowsy little town. Old and young we sang the chorus and the
 echoes told 1t O. CT Tn the dear familiar voices, hushed or
 scattered evernore. < From the windows of the chapel faint and
 low the music dieS, And the picture in the firelight fades before
 my tear-d dirnmed eyes, But my Wistful fancy, listening, hears the
 night wind hum the tunes That we sang there in the parlor on those, Sunday afternoons. --Joe Lincoln. in Saturday Evening Post

and is reported as being in grand shape. He is also the favorite for the Kentucky blue ribbon event, to be run at Louisville on April 29, and will in all likelihood be started in that
 race before being shipped to Chicago.
 Next in the estimation of the odds layer is the bay colt Commando, owned by J. R. 6 F. P. Keene. This fellow is a son of the black whirl- wind Domino, and out of Emma O., by Ten Broeck, second dam Nan nie D. by Alarm, and third dam Irene by imp. Bennington. As two-year- old he faced the flag on but six oc- casions and five times he finished first and once second. The races that he placed to his credit were the Zephyr and the Great Trial Stakes, at Coney Island; the Montauk and Brighton

been entered therein, the east and west having both named their star performers to start. Out of list of 93 three-year-olds 23 were stake winners in their two-year-old form, 12 of them coming from the east and Il from the west, while outside of these are such tried performers as Articulate, Conmore and Rolling on the Pacific coast this winter, and Robert Waddell, Searcher, Royal Vic tor, Lord Roberts and His Eminence. who were frequent purse winners during the last year.
 Garry Hermann, who is the eight to one favorite for the event, is brown colt by imp. Esher out of Silk Gown by Longfe1low, she out of Modiste by Asteroid, and she out of Austria by imp. Australian, so he is certainly bred both to carry weight and go distance. He is owned by Charles Head Smith, the Chicago board of trade man, who last year furnished the favorite for the same race in the ill-fated Lieut.. Gibson, g colt that carried off both the Kentucky and Latonia Derby honors. As two-year- old Garry Hermann started in 25 races and was IS times first, five times second, once third and once un- placed. Four of his wins were in stake events, he placing to his credit the Hammond, at Lakeside, Ind; the Juvenile, at Hawthorne; the Young ster, at Harlem, and the Champagne, at Morris Park He is being wintered by Trainer Hughes at Louisville, Ky, 5,

silk Made of wood PuIn.

Remarkable to relate, wood can be utilized for soft, flowing gowns Wood pulp silk has long been staple indus try in the St. Etienne district of France. By a secret chemical process, the pulp is reduced to a sirupy condi- tion. It is then forced into tubes full of tiny holes, through which it emerges 1n the form of fine silk-like threads. These are speedily dried by being passed through hot atmosphere and are forthwith wound onto bobbins, ready to be woven into silk. The ap- pearance of this unique product is said to be so natural that even experts have mistaken it for the genuine article. It is, of course, infinitely cheaper.

A Word with Women.

Junior Stakes, at Brighton Beach, and the Junior Champion Stakes, at Brooklyn, while the race that he lost was the Nfatron Stakes, at Morris Park, in which he was beaten half length by Beau Gallant after Spencer had gone to sleep at the finish. Com mando, it must be conceded, met and defeated a much better class of colts than did Garry Hermann, but the fact that his sire Domino never showed any liking for distance makes the majority of people who be- lieve in the old saying: Like father like son" chary of backing him.. Dez as4 sAb H and st1 q half, which is the Derby distance, was made in the American Derby of 1894, and in that he finished absolutely last, being beaten as far as one could throw stone, never having shown in any part of it the extreme speed for which he was noted.
 Alard Scheck is quoted at the same price as is Commando, but judged by his two-year-old form he ranks with neither of the others that have been named. He is brown colt by the mighty Hindoo, out of Cherry Bios som, by Powhatton, second dam Ata- lanta by Asteroid, third dam imp. Target by Rifeman. He is the prop erty of John F. Schorr, of Memphis, Tenn, and started 24 times as two year-old, winning nine races and be-. ing six, times second, four times third and five times unplaced. Five of his wins were in stake events, he carrying off the Kenwood and Hyde Park, at Washington Park, the Congress Hall and Grand Union, at Saratoga, and the Westchester lightweight Handi- cap, at Morris Park. He is being win tered at the Memphis track and is reported to have grown but little since last fall. His owner, however, seems to have 9 great deal of conf dence in him, as he has already of fered to match him against any colt in the country and at any distance or weight for $5,0oo side, Garry Herr mann being especially named in the challenge.
 Beau Gallant and Ballyhoo Bey both have fifteen to one chalked up against them, and both are eastern colts of high class.
 These are the five favorites, and each and every one of them looks good enough to win on paper, but the race is long way off yet and something better still may turn up to upset all calculations. It is an old saying that favorites seldom win a Derby, and the defeat of Lieut.. Gibson last year by the despised outsider, Sidney Lu- cas, served to confirm great many people in that opinion. One thing, however. is certain, and that is that Chicago is once more to be the battle ground where the thoroughbreds from north and south and east and west are to meet and settle the ques- tion of equine supremacy.
