they came to the post the horses were off to fair start.
 Kamara was the first away with His Eminence second, Smoke third and the others close up. Before the first eighth had been covered Arsenal had bounded forward into the front rank and at the post he was leading with a gap of a length and half behind him. Down the back stretch Smoke and Reina worked up and claimed second and third places re- spectively Arsenal continued to make the pace, although Smoke, with spurt cut down some of the space that separ- ated them The positions of the leaders were maintained to the first turn and be- yond 1t toward the second. At the turn into the stretch Odow, on Herbert, began to make his ride that finally landed him in second place with a chance for first Under pressure Herbert worked up from seventh place, passing Carbunole and Smoke Smoke failed in the stretch and Carbuncle passed her. Arsenal wavered fifty yards from the wire and up in the stand fifty voices cried: It's Herbert" but Arsenal steadied himself under Daly's riding and had Herbert beaten by half a length when they raced under the wire. Carbuncle was close behind with Smoke on his side and Chiffon just be- hind. Bonnibert and Col. Madden, the favorites, were tenth and eleventh re- spectively.

OLDEST LINING THING.

From the New York Evening Journal.
 The oldest living thing now on earth Is the big tree of California.
 The sequoias. the family to which the big trees belong. hourished away back in the Miocene period, before the Ice Age Then they covered vast areas both in Europe and America but now they are restricted to narrow strip in California.
 There are ten groves of big trees. That in Southern Placer County has only six. The Calaveras. the Stanislaus. the Tuo- lumne. the Fresno and the Dinky groves contain few hundred each. There are tracts of some thousands on Kings ana Kt ah and Tule rivers. Scarcely i've hunured of the survivors are giants.
 Some of the taller trees tower above three hundred feet in height and are thirty feet through.
 John Muir says that. barring accidents. the big tree Is practically immortal. Their age has not been exactly determin- ed, but MT. Muir mentions one, felled by tho lumbsrmen. whose rings proved that 1t had seen twsnty-two hundred yearA

Arsenal Wins Metropolitan.

New York, May 3.-Out of a field of eighth of a mile of the Metropolitan han dicap at Morris Park today, raced Ar senal, son of the famous sprinter Lamp Lighter, to a lead which he held to the wire and victory with its reward of $s970. He was desperately pressed by Herbert, Carbuncle, Chiffon and Smoke, and fin- ished under whip and spur. vigorously placed by Johnny Daly, with scarce strength enough to have gone another dozen leeps at the killing pace of the race It was a sterling race fairly started and gamely contested for every inch of the mile, and spectacuiarly finished. Twenty to one was laid against Arsenal, and his splendid victory was a popular one. A drizzling rain had fallen at in- tervals during the day, which made the track heavy and caused many scratches. Water Color, the early morning favorite, was withdrawn, as were Heno, Far Rockaway, Whisky King. Old England. Saturday and Smart Set Fully 3O,o00 per sons were on the course when the handl- cap horses were called to the post.
 Bonnibert and Colonel Padden, Frank Farrell's pair, were the favorites at to 1. Herbert was second choice at 5 to l. and Roe Hampton was third choice at to 1. The others varied from 10 to 16o to l. The price of Carbuncle. who ran third, was 20 to l. There was a heavy play, but betting on Arsenal, the winner, was rather light. Less than i've minutes after

and it is estimated that the largest still standing were three thousand years old at the beginning of the Christian era.
 Richard T. Fisher, writing in The Worlds Work, and deriving his informa- tion from the United States Bureau of Forestry, states that by far the greater number of big trees is held in private ownership. usually by lumber companies. Only one grove Is thoroughly secure. the Mariposa, which is owned and pro- tected by the State of California. The rest are sure soon to be converted into lumber unless they shall become govern ment property.
 The big trees, pleads MT. Fisher, are the oldest of living things. the largest and among the rarest, majestically form ed and surrounder, and famed besides for their geologic past. As International wonders they could be scarcely rivalled. Surely these, of all trees may fairly claim the protection of science as well as sentiment.
 It should be the special business of Cal ifornia's senators and representatives to interest Congress in these marvels now threatened with the axe, and obtain an appropriation that shall make them na- tional property. Public money could hardly be better spent.

First Step In Village Improvement

Sylvester Baxter in the Century.
 First in order in activities of this kind comes cleanliness. Clean streets and pub lie places, clean private premises-with these secured, the first great transforma- tion in the community takes place. When misunderstanding rubbish heaps are cleared away, and vacant lots covered with all sorts of litter are cleaned up. everybody notes the improvement and is interested in seeing it maintained. Order liness. of course. goes hand in hand with cleanliness The latter cannot be secured without good order. And with good order there Is an aspect of neatness that commands popular respect. It
The age-herald., 1902-05-04

pleases the public eye. Nearly everybody will desist from throwing rubbish into a we1l-kept place, and from scattering paper, or other litter in a clean street. Public sentiment is easily cultivated in favor of public cleanliness and order. A notable instance of its growth is to be found in the agitation against splitting in public places, since it was determined that the practice was a danger to public health. The posting of notices with regu- Iations against it, and the frequent dis cussion of the subject in the press, have made a strong impression upon public sentiment and in consequence the offense Is not practiced to anything like the same extent in communities where there has been such agitation.
