much higher temperature than was OBJ

etylene that could be burned at lower

back-firing is prevented by the speed of

FAMOUS eooDwooD.
something About "a Historic Easiish
Race Course.


The Goodwood race course - quite
uniaue. Ii is long way from sta
tion and is not near any town. says
the London Tatler. II is on hill the
top OF which is shaped like horse
shoe. the space between the two horns
being represented by deep ravine.
The course runs round the horseshoe
the start being al the end OF one
horn and the finish at the end or the
other. The result OF this is that the
e0uestrians who on other courses con-
triye 10 see both start and h}hsh by
the simple process of riding across
while the race is in progress cannot
do SO at Goodwood They must elect
which they will see and remain there,
on the other hand. the course is very
easy TO follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratively modern, but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days OF William
III. when we hear OF the Goodwood
hunt as in existence. In 1900, howev-
or. the then Duke OF Richmond made a
new course which is practically the
present one. In 1901 the course was
completed. ana in order 20 celebrate
this regular meeting was got up by
the duke with the assistance of the
hunt ana some officers of the Sussex
militia and yeomanry and prizes 10 the
value OF about ti,0O0 were put up.

OUR FOREIGN CREDIT.

The large subscription which ii is
understood has been made in this
country TO the new English war loan
is another proof of the considerable
amount Of credit that we have in
Europe. and the readiness with which
american capitalists turn toward in
Vestments which net them what 4 few
years ago would have been considered
an altogether insufficient return upon
their money. During the nine months
OF the present fiscal Ye6r-that is, the
year ending June 50. 1902-We have i'm
ported 50 545.724 in gold and have eX
| ported Si2 G64.Gt9 in gold: in other
words we nave brought in thus far in

| have exported: OF course, this repre-
! sents bat q very meaGer gold payment

! fact that. for temporary purposes, in

! m1ut o. gold. We believe it y fact
| that there is now to the credit Of Amer
| lean bankers larga sums OF money in

| the reason. first. that the money is nc,
/ needed in The United States. which. as
I 4 great gold producing country. has
! sufficient yellow metal taken from its
mines 70 supply all Of the needs OF 4
/ growing circulation. Then, second, i
wholesale deman-. for gold made by Us
upon the great banks of Europe would
democaiiZe primarily the business OF
the nations where such demands We're
made. and then whatever commerce

these countries. Fer these reasons ar

when Il servant at the lodging house OF

tried 70 awaken John Wetzel. there
was no response and the door was lock
ed. As he was known to be SICK man
il was feared something unusual mad
taken place. so the city marshal was
notified at once. He gained entrance TO
the room with a skeleton key and found
the man dead in bed.
Coroner Gray was notified, who al
once summoned a jury composed of Il.
n. Price. Abe Underhill. T G. Cree, J.
/. Burrows. Z. H. Martin and }. Tn
derWOod. The remains were viewed
and placed in the care OF the county
undertaken. BY an examination OF the
effects OF the dead man and the ques-
tioning OF such witnesses as We're at
hand. it was learned that Mir. WetZell

child, residing at 81 South East Street.

ianI took lodgings in the house where ne
died. He mad $12.4j in his pocket. and
in the room were found certain RENE
die sused in the treatment of consump-
| ton. There is little question therefore
that his death was caused by lung trou-
| bic and attendant complications o. =
~ tural order and there is no suspicion
CT foul play. The fact of his dying
alone. however. and of his having been
! dead sometime when found. made the
investigation OF the coroner necessary
