AMONG SOLDIERS.
War Department Refuses to
Say that Enlisted Men Shall
or Shall Not Fight.

The War Department has refused 10
omnit itself on the question OF soldiers
engaging in p~rize-Gghts. although the
Department OF Missouri has asked that
some rule he laid down for enlisted mrn
who wish to take part In public boxing
exhibits.
In reply the commander was Informed
that there are some subjects as u
which it is impossible for the Wlr
Department to prescribe a uniform rule,
and that this Is one of them Apart
from the strict law in the case II Is a
matter of common Information that local
sentiment is divided in respect to CON
tests Of tho kind described. and this adds
to the difficulty OF framing a rule, were
there no legal obstacles in the way OF
its preparation"
There being no legal power In the de-
partment to establish a rule on the sub
jcct. the Acting Secretary Of War de
cides that the question presented be left
to the regulation of the post commander.

ONLY z FAVOR|TES
WIN IN q RACES.
Such Is the BewiIdering EvoIu-
tons of Form Of Horses Run
ming at AqueduCt Track.

The bewildering evolution OF form at
Aqueduct inspire one TO use one Of the
favoritc expressions OF the small boy,
used to denote amazement and wonder.
The boy. when all other speech falls
him, simply says "Hully Gee" and in
these two perverted words there Is con-
ceaied a wealth Of expression.
One favorite won yesterday. None
won on Tuesday. One was successful
on Monday and none on Saturday. Two
favorites out OF a run OF twenty-seven
races. No wonder there is an ~inclina-
ton to say 'Hully Gee"
Here is a sample OF Aqueduct form
On Oct. 20 Nevermore met Lyman Hay
at nve and one-half furlongs and gave
him five pounds and a beating after get
ting away behind him On Oct. 81 Never
more. after getting away from the post
next to last, is beaten two heads by
Lyman Hay, the latter getting away in
the lead and In receipt Of twelve pounds
from Nevermore. Yesterday the pair
met in the Belle Rose Stakes and Ly-
man Hay not only beat Nevermore. a
ever pounds and Is handicapped by
having T. Knight On his back. That
is a sample Of form al Aqueduct
Ho%methinE to study.
Take a look AT tbs handicap run as
the first race at Alneduct yesterday
and then figure out the horses IN their
past performanees, scn ihtr, l. any
form that would warrant Lord EadSo
