sELF-MADE MAN MUST NOT

EXPECT RICHES.
 There should be no cause for depres-
 sion in recalling the fact that success
 will not always bring to the self-made
 man either riches or fame. Though
 these rewards will be lavishly distribu- ted, he to whom they may not be forth
 coming, if he endures to the end and
 remains true to himself and his mission, will have in his own keeping more valuable reward in the consciousness of
 duty we'll and faithfully performed. @ Wealth should be no means be dis paraged as representing success, provi-
 ded it is accompanied by reasonable realization of the obligations it's posses | sion imposes. If wealth is the best that can be exhibited as result of success,
 it cannot do less than to make its fair
 contribution to the welfare of society. We have right to complain of rich people, if, after spending their lives in gathering wealth, they find in it's pos. | session no mandate of duty and no | pleasure save in the inactive and sor- | did contemplation of their l1oards and in expecting the masses to fawn before | them. Sordidness is not confined to | those whose only success consists in | riches. There is a sordiness of educa- l ton more censurable, though perhaps
 less exposed. There are those whose
 success is made up of a vast accl1mula- | ton of education who are as n1iserly in it's possession as the most 9avaricious among the rich. No one is Justified i'll hoarding education solely for his selfish use. To keep it entirely in close custo- | dy. to take a greedy leasure in it's con- temptation, and to utilize it only as a means of persanal and uIlshared enjoy- ment, are more unpardonable than the | clutch of the miser upon his money; for he, in it's accumulation, has been sub
 jected to the cramping and narrowing, | influences of avarice while he who 1 hoards education does violence to the
 broad, generous influences which ac-
 company it's acquisition.
 The self-made man ought to see his course so plainly as to make it easy for
 him to avoid the wrong of sordidness In the possession of any of the rewards of his success. He ought especially and
 with clearness to apprehend. the binding | force of the actice and affirmative obli- | gations which are laid upon the re-
 wards of success. Their discharge in-
 wolves enlightened and discriminating
 charity, the inauguration and encour- agement of agencies for increased cul- ] tuer and information, intelligent libe- | rality in business, clear regard for the inerest and welfare of those who toll, a
 constant exemplification of the strength
 and nobility of strict integrity, the in-
 citement, by precept and example, to 1 frugality and economy, the continual inculcation of the benefits and useful | ness of education in every occupation, I the stimulation of genuine patriotism, ! the cultivation of independent and
 thoughtful political judgment, and last, but by no means least, a hearty and healthful interest in the mintstrations
 of religion and the extension of sound moral sentiment.-"The Evolution of

TRACK RECORD BROKEN.

Five Mile "pro." Race Ridden In Ex-
 ceptionally Fast Time.
 The five mile professional race at the Coliseum last night was splendid eX- flihition, From start to finish the rid CTS fought for the coveted place and es- peciaIly for the prize offered for each mile. The five miles were ridden in the record breaking time of II minutes and 20 seconds, which is the fastest un- paced five miles ever ridden on the local track and perhaps is the record for any track in the state.
 George Collett, the local favorite, who is riding in splendid form this season, won the coveted first place with Billy Rutz, also of New Haven, close sec ond, George Schreiber was third, and three men finished with their front wheels laping one another. The last three laps were exceptionally fast and brought almost ever yone in the large crowd present to their feet that they might see the finish. It was an exciting one and three men fought every inch of the way until the tape was crossed. Such races are sure to attract large crowds. It was a thrilling exhibition from first to last.
 The other professional and amateur races were very good and interested the spectators. There were no mishaps of serious nature In the last lap of the two mile amateur race Dick Garfield of this city fell on the track and another rider went over him. Neither one was | injured.
 The summaries are:
 Half mile amateur-Won by ?. Ernst, Rochester; J. F. Achorn, New York,
 second; E. Stauder, Rochester, third. l Time, 1:04
 | Colonial handicap-One mile profess sional, won by R. M. Alexander. Hart

CAN'T PICK THE WINNER
LOCAL SPECCLATORS HAVING
 THEIR OVN TROUBLES.

Fine Entries Assure Some snaPPy Racing and VaudeviIie-specIaIT Train
 Service.
 The air of uncertainty which surrounds the various races to be decided at Branford Driving park on July 4 is the principal top ic of conversation among the local horse men, and they admit to a man that to pick the winner of one of the races in indeed "a hard nut to crack"
 All local admirers of the racing game will have an opportunity, however, 10 give the tip to their friends after to-day, as the en- tries for the various events will be publish ed in this afternoons papers. The move of the management in declaring or lne races formerly announced to take place at this track on July has proved to De very pop ular one, and expressions of delight are now heard on all sides because there are going 10 be three races run of on July instead or only two.
 Among the list of entries will be found horses who are thoroughly well known all over the Grand Circuit. and the fact that this enterprising track has secured thelr en- tries is proof conclusive that the best Is what the patrons of this popular driving park want and will see on the occasion or this meet.
 One of the horses whose entry for this meet is carefully tucked away in Proprietor Fisk's inside pocket recently won match race in three straight heats. at Waterbury, and the fastest heat was traEeled Tn the re markably fast time of 2:22A at that. So with such speed merchants as the above down to face the starter at Branford on July it can readily be seen that, in the vernacular, the man with the dope" is, so to speak, up against it"
 There will be plenty of good music to en- liven the occasion, also a good vaudeville entertainment. An additional attraction will be the bicycle race, and it might be added that nothing has been left undone to make this meet a record breaker in every way. For arrangements as to the special train service attention is invited to the Advertisement in another part of this issue.
