The famous Rigby Park, the safest
and fastest race course in America, is to
go under the hammer to the highest bid
der. No society in the United States
has better track, grand stand and
stabling. If the New England Fair SO.
ciety were in position to own grounds
there are none in New England better
adapted than Rigby Park. The proba-
bilities are, however, that the plant will
go to the Boston & Maine railroad, the
buildings taken down or used for stor-
age and the grounds utilized for addi-
tional yard room, The Portland railroad
may decide to purchase fol. general sta
bling purposes. The pa has never
paid and the property has Been held the
past two years by the mortgages at $780,
900, but it will go under the hammer for
what it will bring. Race courses and
sporting grounds are uncertain property
for revenue purposes.

The Illinois Audubon society at Chi
cago have started movement that
ought to extend all over the country. 1t
is preparing to strike blow at the root
of fashion of wearing seagulls and terms
for bonnet decorations, has decided that
moral suasion is not effective and will
get after the dealers. Every millinery
house 10 Chicago, wholesale and retail,
Is to be served with a notice that the
selling OF skins of gulls, terms and song
birds is illegal under the law of Illinois.
The name of each bird which it is for
hidden to buy or sell will be given, in
order that ignorance cannot be pleaded.
II dealers do not comply with the law
they will be prosecuted. Volumes have
been written in regard to the evil effects
of this use of plumage of birds to adorn
the hats OF ladies but it seems to have no
effect and this society purposes toNsee
what legal suasion will do.

In the Right Direction

Senator Lodge has introduced an
amendment to the Philippine bill pend
ing before the committee on the Philip
pines. Amendment has been incorporate
ed in the House bill and was agreed on
after conference between Secretary
Root, Gov. Taft, Senator Lodge and
Chairman Cooper of the House insular
committee. 1t provides that whenever it
Is certified to the President that the
existing insurrection In the Philippines
shall have ceased and peace is established,
a general election shall be called for the
choice OF the delegates to popular as
sembly to be known as the Philippine
Assembly. The legislative power con-
ferred on the Philippine Commission in
all that part of the archipelago not in
habited by the Moros or other non. christ
ian tribes then shall cease and be vested
in legislature consisting of two houses
the Philippine Commission and the Phil
ippine Assembly. The three resident
commissioners to the United States are
to be elected.
This is certainly move in the right
direction and is likely to have much to
do with the pacifcation of recalcitrant
Filippinos. Give them to understand
that they shall have the privilege
of self government as soon as they
are in condition to exercise it, and, if
thew are reasonable and suficiently in
telligent they will respond by striving
hard to bring their people up to the
atandard

Chicago. Sept i3.-Jockey Winslett made
farce out OF the mile race against the
worlds record OF 1.3i 4-5. between Jiminez
and Rose Tree. by easing up the latter all
through the last eighth of a mile. That the
Corngan mare was easily the better OF the
TWO there could be no denial. as the race
was run to-day. but the time OF 1:39 3-5
was not within second and two-fifths of
the track record What caused Winsleit to
ease Rose Tree UP when he knew the race
was against time was a puzzle TO the Judges
as well as the public
The two took a flying start and raced
mead and head to the back stretch. where
Jiminez forged to the front by length
and half and took the rail. At the far
turn Rose Tree again Joined him. and. turn
Jiminez was plainly beaten. but. regardless
OF the fact that the breaking OF the rec
