accident of any kind from touching them than
from touching a paving stone. So far as the
cost of construction goes, this system is doubt
less more expensive than the overhead trolley
wire, but less so than the open conduit To the
car equipment it is necessary to add magnet
to influence bit of apparatus under each but
ton that momentarily switches the current on,
and Il longer shoe is required than is used 10
pick up current from a third rail. These varia-
lions from precedent, however, would probably
not involve large expenditures.
In city like New-York there would be one
drawback to the introduction of such system.
Surface contact" cars would not be inter
changeabIe with those of lines which the
open conduit was installed. That would be
rather tTifng objection If the plan were
otherwise success. The only legitimate
doubts which would arise relate to the Glance
of a button failing to work well, and the con-
sequent staling OF a car. and to the possible
invasion by water Of the boxes inclosing the
energizing mechanism directly under the but
tons. These are points which can be cleared up
only by experience. One days trial might not
be adequate to remove all misgivlngs. On the
other hand, it would not be surprising If MIR
Pullen had improved upon the work of his pred
ecessOrs. Certainly there is enough known al
ready to show the propriety of a careful In
vestigatiOn by Mr.. Vreeland II he does not
want to try the open conduit West-st. and the
storage battery does not impress him favoraby,
perhaps the surface contact" plan will help him
out of his dilemma. Stranger things have hap

Tod" Sloan. the jockey. who for several
years has not been allowed to ride on the
courses controlled by the English. French and
American jockey clubs. has brought suit In
Paris against the French racing authorities in
the hope that the ban against him may be
raised. Probably he is i'll advised in this action.
The power of these organizations over the turf
is notably strong. and the stewards are not in
clined to be lenient toward riders who try TO
fight them in the courts. In the days of his
striking successes. Sloan had a brilliant career.
He was remarkable little fellow. and invented
a new system Of jockeyship in perching himself
nearer to horses head than any other rider
had ever done before him But his star has set,
and it is not generally believed by turfrnen
that It will ever rise again.

times the wearing OF Il hat was regard
ed as Il mark of sank and distinction.
During the reign of Charles 1. the Pu-
