with Seductive Attractions.
Not even King Boreas with his chill
breezes out of the north was enough to
freeze the festival spirit of the 1000 peo-
pie that flocked TO the festival grounds to
open the annual exhibition There was
enough enthusiasm to conteract the eff

was presented on the brilliantly illuminated
grounds. Had it not been. for the sudden

to estimate how many people would have

braved the possibility of influenza to insure
the success of the festival If the weather
be propitious for the rest of the week
At o'clock, when the thousands of in
candescent lights cast flood of colored
radiance over the grounds, the scene was
extraordinarily beautiful. The oval of the
promenade dividing the Festival Field was
marked by hundreds of slender poles bear
ing their burdens of flashing decorations.
Lining the oval the sideshows attracted
the thousands by their illuminated signs
and the eloquent bankers who advertised
the wonders to be seen inside their re-

Fish Out OF Water.

Some northern Indiana papers are exer-
cised over an alleged disappearance OF the
game fish of Lake Maxinkuckee and ex-
plain IL by saying they are escaping by way
of Yellow river. Inasmuch as this would
involve an overland journey of three or
four miles from the lake TO the river IL
hardly seems reasonable. They might get
away through the Tippecanoe river if they
feel so inclined.

BIG PROFITS IN RACING.

1t costs the votaries of the turf $50, 900. 900

by Congress for the prosecution Of the war
with Spain. This vast amount comes out of

To own race track at the present time
Is better and more profitable than to have
a diamond mine.
The thirty days. grace to meet bills is
unknown. Everything is spot cash and the
money rolls into the treasury in a continu-
GUS stream from the opening day to the
close OF each meeting. In order to secure
this golden flow all that Is required are
few acres of land, grandstand. betting
ring and fence. Therpubltc furnish the
rest.
The different racing associations in New
York are becoming enormously wealthy.
Ihey are required to pay into the state
treasury a tax of s per cent on the gross re-
ceipts. The revenue Is so great, however,
they hardly notice this.
Each association pays Its stockhoiders
10 per cent on their holdings. Twenty and
70 per cent could easily be paid from the
amount cleared at each meeting. but the
directors Of each club think 1t advisable
not to declare too big a dividend. and the
surplus Is invested in gilt-edge securities.
The season has been an exceptionally
profitable one, and the six associations IN
New York will clear nearly 2,5Oo,00o. The

only fortnight Of the season Left, the re-
suit Is In doubt and the tension Is telling
on the followers Of the three leaders. On
Saturday. when Cleveland twice defeated
st. Louis, 1t was thought the last OF the
nant had been disposed Of. Yesterdays
games, however. caused judgment on st.
Louis to be suspended, for the Browns are
again within per cent Of Boston. While
St. Louis broke even with Cleveland, the
Athletics actually gained. This was not 50
that 1t reduces the number Of games the
Browns have yet to play, and with only a
few games remaining it makes It all the
harder for them to catch UP. No even
break will beat out the two eastern appli-
cants for the pennant. The Athletics and
Boston are almost certain to win the ma
jority of their games and to pass them st.
Louis will have to do much better than to
win two games out of four.
During the past week the work Of the
Athletics was the best in the American
League, that club gained II per cent, St.
Louis and Boston 2. The weeks results
therefore strengthened the Athletics hold
on first place. Their lead is a good one,
especially so late in the season. but it can
no loosening of the tension. which has
grown harder from the time Connie Mack's
men made such a brilliant squirt early in
August and took first place.
There are hard games ahead, both for the
Athletics and Boston in this city when the
season closes. The friends of st. Louis are
banking the Senators putting both the
Athletics and Bostons out of the race in
this city, and should the Browns trim Chi
cago in the windy city and at home, there
Is a possibility of Washington winning the
championship for st. Louis.
