Probably ore Of the most remark

period was that which took place in
one Of the eastern counties last
summer. y man was shcaring q
sheep. Another man, passing on a
pony, stopped TO exchange q few
words with the shcarcr and watch
the clipping operation for minute
or two. He had been standing
there but a very short time when
sharp crack of thunder was pre-
ccdcd by a binding flash of light
ming. The shcarer was startled al
most out of his senses by seeing the
pony and its rider suddenly collapse
in a heap, but in a a.second tho man
was up, quite unhurt. Then the
shepherd, happening to glance at
the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served it as it had
served the pony. The sheep was

Great American Sporting Resort Ro-
sembIe, Nothing Foreign.
There IS nothing fashionable or
pondcrous III the way the people
take their pleasure at Saratoga. OF
among those present" especially
during the polo season, there might
be made q moderately long list of
names which would appeal to the
most critical American Yellow
plush. But he would be disillusion-
lzed at the spontaneity of the pos
SCISSORS of the names. That is what
they are there for-to get away
from the routine stupidity Of self
conscious Newport, which not few
OF them can stand for only so long
at time, just as l5illy Bankclerli.

p!iity OF his routine existence, and
both mingle freely in the paddock
and swap tips in The ring, TO the
horror Of Ycllowplush, who has
come TO worship.
1t was to be expected that tho es-
tabllshmcnt of place of this kind
would be hailed as the creation Of
an american Ascot" by those
who get an added zcst by such
mental devices, just as the moral
lists have mathematical it as "the
Monte Carlo of America" It is, to
be sure, the one place in the cour-
try where fine horses and fine peo-
pie may be seen without much tout
ing to interfere with either, and it
is the one example of really regu-
lated gambling in the United
States. But it Is not very much
like Ascot or Monte Carlo, though
enough like both possibly to call to
mind the rollicking old days of a
previous and very different century
at Bath-if you have mind to
liken it to something foreign.
