IN HIS HAND.

In memory of Lionel Henry Colmore, of Sewanee, Tenn, killed on duty, Nash vile. Tenn, just as he received promo ton for merit on the N. c. & St. L. rallroad. We'll did he write, who voiced the human heart:- There is no hearth Lut has one vacant chair!' The cry of Rachel for her young who part, Her Lord is, every hour sure to hear. Stricken so sudden in his manly prime The very hour of earths well-won re- ward Friends feel the sev'rance is but for a time, While he gains higher guerdon from
 the Lord. Agile and strons-a brave and loyal
 friend Tender and true. in every better sense His brief life here it's echo sweet must lend His epitaph, in simple eloquence. We know he lives-smles on us from
 above: That. when these day, of weeping and
 regret Change to real life and never-dying love, Souls parted here shall dwell in union
 yet! Hard as the lesson He uoth teach us
 here Great is the Truth we soon must real
 ize:- Who justly lives shall, living, reappear: Love is supreme-the Promise never
 dies.
  So, thro' all clouds. tho seeming drear-
 forlorn, Glimmer suggestions of the glorious
 sun: Each night of sorrow hath brighter
 Morn For all who truly say:--"Thy will be
 donei"

HY ANNIE kENDRIcK WALKER.

The racing partnership formed the past week by Mrs. Henry Payne Whitney and Mrs. Herman Duryear is pronounced the best story yet sent out by the enter prislng correspondents at Saratoga. Since these two women will be the first to race horses since the days of Lily Langtry. who. however. used an assumed name. interest naturally centers about their very original plan. The story goes that they were actually ehaffed Into this Idea of owning a racing stable by their husbands who while slipping coffee to- gether in the clubhouse at Saratoga and discussing the all absorbing theme "the races. were not disposed to include their wives in the conversation.
 You would not understand if we were to tell you MT. Duryear Is quoted as replying to Mrs. Whitney when she re- sented the whispered consultations be- tween her husband and Mir Duryear. And this proves conclusively that while some men may be authority on matters pertaining to the American turf. they to dismiss a topic from woman's mind by telling her that she would not under stand
 Certainly it is that Mrs Whitney and Mrs. Duryear were not to be put off with indifference and the atmosphere of gold and DOW-HnOtS that make the sara toga of today has felt in consequence a sensation that outrivals any of the New port stories. not even accepting Mrs. Cornelius Yanderbilt's buying up one of the New York theatres for an even ing's performance at Newport
 At Saratoga, the women play the races about as extravagantly as do the men, that is the women in the "horsey set" and with the hundred thousand visitors Al Af.4 4fa Il,,rr is said to have pervaded all classes.
 It does seem radical step, however, for two women to form asracing part nership, but In some quarters 1t is not taken seriously, and it Is said that noth- Ing will come of this co-partnership on the part of these young matrons who have started a racing stable of their own with the avowed intention of defeating with their horses the flyers named in the race events by their husbands.
