The Washington times., 1902-04-03

The card for today is an ordinary one
and outside of the second race has prac-
tically no class. In the second race,
however, three of the best two -year-olds
shown at the track will meet. and the
race should be a battle royal. 1t is
difficult matter to name the winner as
all three have won their races without
being urged, and it is hard telling which
is the best. The balance OF the card calls
for no special comment. but should fur
nish interesting sport.
First race-Three years and up; six and
half furlongs: Lac. LOG; Princess Otil-
lie. 11S; Man O. War, 109; Advocator. 123.
Second race-Two years old; four and
one-half furlongs: Toscan, 10T; Blue and
Orange, 107; FrockS and Frills. 101; Alan,

do the trick. As coed as to could be

but at pest time he was quoted at I to
10. There were tips on Aline. Abbott,
Woodchuck, and Fahius, which caused
them to be played. principally for the
place and to show.
FabiIs was off in front at the start
but The BlUeeoat rushed at once into the
lead, and showed the way to the upper
turn. He turned into the stretch in
front, and it locked for a time as If he
would have a hand il the finish. Straight
ened out. there was a general closing up,
but at the furlong pole Calgary shot out
OF the bunch and came away at the finish,
winning handily. Fabius. after dropping
back. apparently beaten, came again and
took second place from Woodchuck.
Meistcrsinger was always fayorite for
the fifth event but Carroll ID. was heavily
played, and when the bugle called them
to the post he was only a shade behind
Meistersinger in the betting. Trump and
Imperialist were the most fancied of the
others.
MeistersinSer took the lead soon after
the start. but Carroll d. and Trump did
uot let him get Ear away. Into the
stretch the field came in close order, and
when Strengthened cut all seemed to have
a chance.

\ hard drive between six Of them then
ensued. but Meistersinger had enough in
reserve to stall off the others and win by
a scant length. Carroll D.. Imperiaiist,
and Rightaway were Separated by heads
at the wire, the latter having come from
last place in the stretch.
Four declined the issue in the last race,
the distance event of the afternoon. leav-
ing Orontas Lamp OLee. and ohnet to
make up the field. Lamp o'Lee was Sc
lected as the most promising Of the trio
and was always an odds-on choice, with
Ohnet the next in demand, while Orontas
was friendless. except for a few small
bets.
As good as to . for the place could

Winner an Unknown.
The start was prompt and good. odom
on Ohnet and Wcnderly on Lamp O'Lee
thought they were the only two
in the race. for they went out at break
neck speed. soon leaving orontas far in
the rear The two ran like team to the
upper turn. where ohnet cracked. Blake
on Orontas evidently knew what he was
about. for he allowed the leaders to go
on and run their heads off.
This they did. and in the stretch neither
had anything left. Orontas gradually over
took them, and in the last sixteenth he
passed Lamp O'Lee. Although Wonderly
rode the favorltc, 0rontas won in hard
drive. Ohnct was eased up.

Then the soldiers got together and by

work. made up the difference and one
point to the good.

BLACKSMITH BROWNS
HIMSELF IN BATHTUB

john Killgore, aged 81 years. Of No.
S41 KirkwOod street, committed suicide
last nigh Thy drowning himself in a
bath-tub. III health is supposed to
have been the cause, for on two other
occasions Killgore. while ill, attempted
to end his life by taking laudanum.
Killgore who was a blacksmith. un-
til about one month ago. worked in the
iron mills near Newport.
AS his wife and daughter went to
retire. they found Mr.. KillgOre in the
bath-tub. with face downward.
On entering the bathroom a case
knife. with a keen edge, was found on
the floor. Killgore had gashed both
of his forearms just below the elbow
in a horrible manner. In the tub was
found a bottle labeled Sure Death,
and once It had contained poison for
reaches and other pests. Whether OF
noa the dead man had taken any OF
the poison could not be determined.

THE TURQUOISE.

The turquoise. the birthstone for De-
cember. signifies prosperity.
The turquoise was a familiar and IA
vorlte gem among the ancient Mexl-
cans and Indians OF the west
The turquoise fades when IFS owner
Is III. and dies when the wearer is at
tackled by an incurable malady-so they
say.
The Germans claim that by its vary
ing shades the turquoise turns telltale
on the caprices and moods OF It's
wearer.
Shakespeare gives these words to
Shylock: Gle would not have lost his
turquoise ring for a whole wilderness
of monkeys"
The turquoise derives its name from
word meaning Turkish and Il. 40
called because the first turquoises We're
found IN Turkey.
If your birthday comes I'm December
and you wear a turquoise, you need
never be afraid Of falling or a high
place. One Of the powers of the azure
hued gem is to preserve its wearer
from this catastrophe.
1t Is also said that Il has the power
Of protecting its wearer against con-
tagion. A turquoise would certainly
be an ornamental substitute for vacci-
nation. Its efficiency would probably
depend upon the faith" Of the wearer.

CrepOn for the POmpadour

A crepOn is the newest roll used in
hair dressing. 1t is an arrangement OF
the second quality wavy hair, worked
on to a finger depth Of straight pliable
tape OF net, wherein there is a certain
desirable springiness. The ends being
unattached, the crepon can be worn
in any position on the head, while the
merest scrap of hair suifices to hide
it from sight.
The manner of applying it Is to di-
vide the hair on the head for the reQui-
site covering, insert the crepOn, which
is held by a hairpain at either side,
and one OF two at the back, and the
ends, loosely gathered together, are
caught TO the prepared centre knot Of
the dressing. Thus, built, as it is, ex-
clusively Of the hair one can easily
understand how combs and pins can
be pushed through anywhere without
let OF hindrance And who among us
has not suffered from heroic efforts to
force tine teeth of combs between the
head and wire-built frames and the
consequent agonies attendant on such
a procedure? Happily, though the days
are passed when we consider it neces-
sary to suffer to the smart And in
CONCLUSION, lel IL Ut AlIDAlllIu npW
there are several varieties of crepons,
some whereof are mounted over a
small round net foundation. But in
regard TO these latter, it is signifi-
cant that the cost is considerably less
than when the affair is created entire
" Of hair, says the Ladies' Field.
Perhaps one of the most determined

Mrs. Carter 5 Skirt Trimming

a new skirt trimming has appeared.
IL was seen on gown worn by Mrs.
Leslie Carter off the stage. The gown
was in black, a black ottoman silk OF
coarse weave. The skirt was cut plain
and sheath shaped, and the waist was
slightly blOused i'm front
The novelty lay in the trimming.
which consisted of narrow bands Of
black velvet ribbon. These were ar
ranged at the side exactly like a spider
web The ribbons came out from a
central Place, diverging like the typi-
cal pictorial web, and there were mar
rover ribbons crossing It to make an
intricate mesh. The velvet had small
ietted beads here and there, but only
enough to make the ribbon sparkle.
The web was large enough to nearly
cover one side of the skirt, and was all
in black, without a particle of color
near it. A smaller web decorated the
front. The bodice had one directly
upon the middle of the front, of large
size. This is a kind of trimming that
cold be easily applied at home and
would decorate any gown, black OF
white. bright or dull. 1t might be ap-
piled to an old evening gown with the
effect of making it look like new. In
the centre of the web there could be a
jetted spider, and if the gown were an
elegant one for evening, the animal
could be one of those jewelled ones
now 50 much the vogue.

Nine. Nevada on Dress

One of the greatest singers who vis-
its this country is Nine. Emma Ne
vada. and the beauty Of her gowns is
remarkable. One Of her fayorites is a
.Grecian robe. copied from one Of the
Muses. in the Louvre, Paris. It is of
soft white material. richly embroid-
erred in gold. Of this gown Nine. Ne
vada SAYS:
II feel so happy when ! have it on;
for it IS beautiful. and In its long,
graceful folds there is the same artis-
tic repose and expression that l want
to give my music. There are no daz-
zling. glittering spangles to distract
the eve and annoy the mind. It is
like the ola Italian melodies l am sing
ling this year 1t is just what It pre-
tends to be-true and honest, and
nothing startling; beautifully simple,
and simply beautiful
Worth was interested. in the robe
because lie. like all of the best gown
makers Of Europe, are tired of the fall
sitv of modern dress. There is moth
ing real nowadays. / saw one gown
in Paris valued at 1000 francs; it was
made of satin covered with lace-imi-
tation. Of course-spangled with imi-
tatiOa gold sequins and paste gems;
there were fur and feather trimmings
until 1 don't think they could have put
else on the gown--unless a
String of lampshades on the bodice!
Would it not be better for woman to
wear a string Of real pearls than a
rope of wax beads? God never created
anything more beautiful than a wo-
man. Ask any man if ! am not right
and ask him also if she is ever more
beautiful than in negligee--and why2
Simply because then she is the woman
land not the dressmakers fashion plate.
1T is impossible for a woman to be
ugly if she be only womanly; because
woman's chief charm is simplicity.
There is no more beautiful type Of
woman in the world than the Ameri-
can: vet it is the American who has
brought about this condition of dress.
1t is the great spirit of rivalry that is
responsible for that fendish desire to
outdo someone else. After all her
striving what does she accomplish?
She has spent a lot of money her hus-
band has worked hard to earn, and
has made some other woman miserable
but some one else has a gown more
costly. and all the folderOls she has
put on has only lessened her beauty
of both mind and body.
1T is the American woman who
must work this change-not all at
once. but gradually. with a thought of
simplicity and harmony not
alone of color. but of conditions, of
economy, and of our neighbor. Now do
YOU see where the music comes into all
this? Harmony is the very great fac
tor in music: and a blazing costume
may be really very grand, but If it is
discordant in the slightest way with
the harmony Of life, where's the
beauty?

KRMnSt in Itils

The balloon veil is the latest thing
in fair womans face covering, and It
is called Santos -Dumont, that being
the name of the famous aerOnaut. 1t is
an ordinary fancy-mesh, adorned with
little velvet application in cigar shape
which latter is the form Of Santos-Du-
mont's airship. This form of veiAng
is really nothing new, but its name has
given it considerable popularity in
Paris, which popularity, however, is
scarcely likely to be reflected here in
any but a very limited degree.
There is also quite a craze for red
chiffon and marabou effects. This red
craze has just set in, and, although It
does not promise to assume very eX-
tensive proportions yet is large
enough to create quite a little stir.
New York's smart set is wearing
quite an elaborate veil, and one quite
becoming to most faces. 1t smacks Of
the Oriental, and one might imagine
some of the secluded beauties of the
East were strolling our streets except
for the alert carriage and up-tO-date
gown. These bespeak the American.
This veil is hygienic, too, from the
standpoint of the ocudst, for, while il

spots. 1t is plain across the eyes.
while the figuring comes above and be-

chiffon across the eyes and part of
the forehead But just at the nose it
was figured, and below, at each side Of
the mouth, there were embroidered
roses.
A little lace applique is used upon
the new wells. A border Of lace
stretches across the bottom OF the veil,
or along the hem. Other novelties in
wells show the most delicate colors.
