in his path that Mr.. Morley was influenced to
withdraw from the editorship of the series with
which he had seemed to be permanently identi-
fed. Perhaps he abandoned the work for no
other reason than that it interfered with his de
vOtion to that life of Gladstone upon which he
has for some years been engaged. Whatever
the reason, we are inclined to congratulate him

ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1902.

In looking over the new publications or the
holiday season, the observer cannot but be
struck by the presence of one especially admir-
able factor In the situation. The new edition
abounds. and it is not by any means, in every
instance a new edition of foreign author. Of
course, there could not be too many reprints of
English and Continental classics but it is good
to see that the American classic also is more
than ever in favor among the makers or hand
some books We need not quarrel with the oc-
casiOnal inclusion of some American who is not
in the least classical. lie, after all, is not con-
spicuOus among the new books. The chief aim
of the publishers in this matter seems TO be
the reprnting of men like Hawthorne and Poe,
Bret Harte and The AutOcrat, and for activities
of this sort we can only be grateful. While we
are abiding to new editions of native authors,
we may point out one form of enterprise which
NAV be popular but is none the less tasteless
and absurd. We refer to the new edition or &
novel that has been put upon the stage, the
book being illustrated with flashlight photo
graphs taken in the theatre. This may be mag
nifcent from a commercial point of view, but 1t
is neither literature nor art We wonder
little at the cOmplaisance of the authors Of these
novels in allowing their books TO be exploited
in this way.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1902-11-16

The late Emile ZOla continues to provide
topic for literary discussion. He does not lack
apOlOgists, but it is pleasant to see that on the
whole. current comment is In harmony with the
views expressed in The Tribune at the time OF
his death. Mr.. Andrew Lang, for example, has
no doubt about the rectitude OF NJ. lola, but he
refuses to ignore or TO admire, Ibis nsistence,
his diffuseneSs, or all the things from which
civilization has taught us to turn away our
eyes-and noses, except when science cOmpels
qualified people to observe them" Novels, Mr.
Lang protests. are not scientific works. They
are not undertaken" he maintains, in the
chill. austere temper Of serious books on morbid
pathology. books sterilized and deodOrized. The
novels OF NJ lola were not deOdOrized, they
rather eloried in exhibiting, to men, women and
children the horrors of the dissecting room ana
the laboratory 1t can hardly be denied that to
dcbased tastes this proved an attraction, a great
additional charm" 1t is odd to find many writ
ers of indubitably refined tastes trying to ex-
plain away NJ ZOla's horrors or to justify them
by some critical hocuspOcus as a legitimate
resource of the novelist. In some cases 1t
would be unfair to doubt the sincerity OF the
apologist; we can only compassionate him. But
we cannot help feeling that many of Zolas adj
herents especially of the younger sort are on
his side for no other reason than that their
vanity is up in arms. They are so fearful OF
being taken for intOlerants and prudes, they are
so anxious to be considered men of the world,
that they are the loudest in demanding con-
sderatiOn for lola as IAN artist" which true
art never needs.

The crowd that attended the races
was so greatly enthused by this time
that it refused to go home, so three
more races were arranged and run.
Selim went up against a Mesa City

tried to do before and couldn't, namely
get beat. This race was for quarter

RACING TOURNAMENT
Great Sporting Event at the Phoenix
Track Yesterday.

There was another notable racing
meet at the Phoenix track yesterday
afternoon, though some people aver
that it was rather market day for thu
settlement of July margins in the
broncho horse corner.
The event was arranged on short no
tice the night before. Logan Morri:
and Jack Gibson got to rolling the
bones for broncho horses, and Mr.. Glib
son was winner. In fact, he got so
many bronchos on his hands that he
feared Morris would bear the market
and force him to sell at a discount or
let the nags eat their heads off. So he
suggested a horse race the following
day between his horse Selim and Lo-
cams bay horse. He suggested also
that each put up broncho in lieu Of

BIG SHOOTERS PROBABLY
 BEATEN IN THE HANDICAP

Kansas City. April 2.-With 493 entries and 456 actual competitors the Grand American handicap opened at Blue River Park this afternoon. and at the end of the day 143 wing shots had a straight score of eight birds The best of the birds had been saved for the Grand American, and the great number of hard flyers released today ruined the chances of many of the celebrities.
 At the end of the eighth round every one of the six Grand American handicap winners of the past who are participating this year had lost one or more birds, making it certain that new man will be the winner this year. These six men were: T. w. Morefey, Thomas A. Marshall, H. D. Bates, E. c. Griffiths and E. D. Full ford.
 Other prominent shooters who failed to make straight score today are: c. w. Rudd Ali Gardiner of Brenham, Tex, H. O. Feuder, F. M. Garote of Fort Worth. Tex, B. H. Money A. B. Fox
