OUTFITS OF JOCKEYS.
Riders of Race Horses Carry Heavy
Burdens.

Who buys the racing colors which
the Jockeys wear on their mounts ?
Naturally the owners of the thorough
breds, who have selected the combina-
ton of gay silk and satin and registered
them with the jockey club. Each set"
of colors, as. they are called, consists of
a jacket and cap The rest of the
riders outfit IS purchased by the jockey
himself.
A dealer in turf goods on the boule-
ward just back of the Gravesend course
supplies many of the stables. with
horse articles and equips the Jockeys
from head to toe. He has been en-
gagged in the trade for years. Speaking
of the business recently, he said:
"AIl an owner has to do is to give us
his order for the colors and we supply
the rest. A set of colors costs any
where from S12, the cheaper grade, up
to $40. The. $12 grade is necessarily of
low-clasS material. Then, again, the
cost is increased by the number OF
colors employed in the making. A set
of the Carr colors. for instance. brings
$40. All the stuff is of the highest grade
made, necessarily Generally at the be-
ginning of the season a stable will take
three sets of colOrs, comprising differ
ent sizes. One particular stable takes
six sets always in the spring at a cost
of $40 a set OF course, the number
depends chiefly on the size of the stable.
Rainy weather is the hardest on the
cOlors and the older ones are used on
these occasions. Eight or ten sets of
colors may be used from April to Octo-
Der. The sets average, 1 should say,
about $40. The selection depends on the
individual choice of the owner of the
racers, taking into consideration the fact
that he must not encroach on any al
ready registered.
AS a matter of fact. there are persons

WAR EXPECTED.
Russia Continues to Pile Up Provis-
ions at Port Arthur.

Victoria. B. c., Aug. 3.-Officers of
the steamer Tacoma, which has arrived
from Yokohama, report that the Rus
sian agents are buying up large orders
of bean-cake at the Japanese posts and
storing provisions and war munitions at
Port Arthur. Troops were also being
hurried westward and war was expect
ed to occur at any time. An idea of
how serious the steamers officers re-
garded the situation is shown by the
fact that the first enquiries they made
when the pilot boarded the vessel was
to ask if any ultimatum had been sent
or war declared.
The Tacoma brought oriental news to
the effect that three Roman Catholic
missionaries have been murdered by
providence. The remaining foreign mis-
sionaries and their families. escorted
by Chinese troops, have arrived at
Hsunyang, whence they took passage
for Hankow.
The Chinese government has consent
ed to the opening of the following ports:
Nganking, capital of Anhui province;
Shangsha capital of Human; Wunshien
in Szechuan, and the Tungchiang and
Hsichiang (east and west rivers) in
Kuantung province.
Shire Inouye, japanese astronomer,
has discovered a new comet in the
Cygnus constellation, not far from the
Lyra, moving northward.
The japanese telegraph companies
have consented to the lowering of the
Geographic charges on messages be-
tween Nagasah and Hong Kong for
the Pacific cable.
The Russian Asiatic squadron has
been ordered to assemble for maneuvers
in the vicinity of VladivostOck. The
Japanese standing squadron is now en-
gagged in summer maneuvers off HOk-
haido. Thus, says the Japanese Herald,
the main naval forces of Japan and
Russia are naturally" attracted to
northern waters.
