Summer Fashions X X
The Seasons Variety Offers Opportunities
for Individual Tostes.

thread lace comes under the smart
classification of heavy lace.
The rage for lace this summer
promises to Guido all previous rec
ords. Then there is an immense de-
mand for dainty collars and cuffs. of
lawn. muslin and lace, hsmstitehed
ard insertioned in every possible
manner.
Skirts vary greatly N make-but
gauging appears on most of the new
models. and mostly in the form of
yoke, from either side of front on
ly-thus leaving the front breadth
plain.
Very little material is taken up in
the gaugings, so they can be adapted
TO suit most figures.
1okes are very popular for skirts,
and the newest summer models show
yokes of lace; and mostly heavy laces
are preferred. Plated skirts are
popular, also plain gored oEes, with
foot trimmings of numerous tiny
founces.
Tall slight figures look we'll in the
three or four tier skirts, each fiounce
being most beautifully shaped to
cling to the under skirt, and each
edged with lace insertion, jet edg-
ing, or even fringe. BY the way,
fringe is used on fichus, capes and as
a border TO canvas and silk skirts.
Used carefully it is stylish, but GER
tainly discretion is needed as to its
arrangement.
Chenille insertions with jet, also
chenille fringes. are a great acquisi-
ton upon black lace and net gowns.
The combination of blue ard en-
erald green continues fashionable,
but wants careful wearing-iust as
do the hairy or shaggy fabrics, and

THE TEAM IS AT HOME
HARVARD'S VARSITY
BEATEN BY UNION CREW
In Unofficial Trials the Latter Eight
Wins Out.

BOSTON, June lit has just leaked
out that twice last week the Union eight
defeated the Harvard Varsity in practice
on the Charles.
Early in the week, the Union eight,
which Will probably row at the Ameri-
can Henley in Philadelphia, was on the
river early in the evening. pulling along
at fairly good clip, when the Harvard
crew came along. The two began to
measure strokes. and for nearly mile
had it hammer and tongs. For some dis
lance it was almost an even thing. but
finally the Union eight went to the front.
and at the finish had opened up quite a
lead.
This the Harvard crew and coaches
did not relish, so a race was arranged
between the two. An evening or two
later the two crews were lined up. and
were sent away on even terms For
some distance it was nip and tuck, but
finally the Union eight hit up its stroke,
and about a quarter of a mile from the
finish began 10 open up on the Crimson
crew, and finally finished in the lead by
at least a boat length.

EQUAL FAYOR|TES FOR
THE RICH SUBURBAN
Hermis and Major Daingerfield
Quoted at 6 to /.

Hermis and Major Daingerfeld are now
equal favorites at to 1 for the Subur-
ban Handicap. to be run on June IS. Dur
ing the past week both colts were heay-
lily backed to win the Coney Island elias
sic" in James O'Leary's Chicago book
The former was backed from 10 to l
down to to 1. 1t was the first heavy
demand for the champion since the book
opened for business early in the winter.
The three horses that received the
greatest support for the big handicap
the last month were Hermis, Major
DaingerfeId. and Goldsmith The latter
was the best played colt of the lot. In
the early quotations he was 40 to l in
the betting. He is now to l. Many
well informed trainers believe that w.
c. Whitney's little colt Will defeat all
of his rivals at the weights assigned
them
Gunfire's odds are now 80 to l. This
big price is due to the fact that she will
have to pick up a 12-pound penalty
for the race, which makes her weight
123 pounds. Under the conditions of the
handicap a horse that wins a race after
publication of the weights, worth IS. 900
in value is compelled TO pack up twelve
pounds extra.
She WOE the Metropolitan Handicap,
worth nearly $4,000. and comes under
this condition of the race It is prob
able that she will not start because of
her additional handicap.
Irish Lad is also at 80 to / The Brook
Ign Handicap winner suffers a 12-pound
penalty, and, should he start. which is
not probable, his weight will be lit

Which is the better colt. Irish Lad or
Golden Maxim? That was the query

terday. where both are quartered Opin-
ions were equally divided as to the
merits OF the two great three-year- odds

won the Brooklyn Handicap he was
hailed as the champion three year-old
of the season. Scarcely had his praises
been sung when Golden Maxim doomed
up as champion by giving away weight
TO several high-class horses of all ages
and defeating them.
Trainers say that in many points Irish
Lad and Golden Maxim are equal. Both
met high class horses, gave away weight,
made all their own pace, and won. When
these two colts meet, horsemen say, it
will be a struggle we'll worth witnessing

AWFUL FATE OF A TRIO
OF MOTOR FOLLOWERS
Elkes Meets the Doom OF
McEachern and Nelson.
EFFORTS OF PROBATION
The Game Has Ever Been Dangerous
One, and Many Thrilling Acct
dents Have Occurred.

Harry Fixes, who met such an untinfe-
ly end on the Charles River Park Dos
tom motor cycle track on Saturday night
was well known in this city and Balti-
more. He was billed to appear on tire
bowls at both this and the Monumental
City this week, and local cycling en-
thusiasts were prepared to give him a
warm welcome.
The Best of Them ALI.
Fixes was indisputably the best mid
dle-distance man who ever followed the
dangerous motors. He won unparalleled
success In this country and in France,
beating out all the best men at the
middle distance paced game.
He was one of group of three men
especially we'll known who met death
racing after motors The other two were
Archie McEachern and Johnnie Nelson.
McEachern was killed at Atlantic City
and Nelson at New York They all met
their death In the mad, fierce rush after
motors. when all caution is thrown 20
the winds and the men become crazed
fatalists. thinking of nothing but success
e@%sN SoA Ing AOA AOSAlIS D1b SlClOTys w ueu
Henri Fournier first introduced motor
racing into this country the danger of
the sport was apparent. but the cycle
racers threw themselves fearlessly into
the game The first to meet death were
Miles and Stafford, Frank Walters men,
who, too, were killed at Boston.
Michael Once Injured.
Jimmy Michael was recently injured
on foreign track, and Joe Nelson has
had several close calls. Every man who
ever raced prominently after motor
has been more or less injured. Several
bad accidents have happened at the Bal
timore track. and that the men have
escaped death is miraculous. Monroe,
S6arbuck, Hunter, Leander and Wilkin-
son are the men who have been very
severely injured at Baltimore The last
accident was on September u last, when
Leander, Hunter and Monroe were in
crash, and Monroe was terribly in
jured about the head. A surgical opera
ton was performed on his head at The
Johns Hopkins Hospital by which con-
cussion of the brain was relieved and
Monroe restored TO vigor in remarkable
way.
The irony of the accident at Boston
Saturday night lies in the elaborate safe
ty arrangements made by race promoters
for this season. by which it was sup
posed that accidents would be almost
impossible. They had arranged single
pacing machines. with three-inch auto
mobile tires, roller tenders for the
rear wheels of the motors and leather
belts The accident at Boston, however.
was caused by the explosion of the tire
of Elkes' bicycle, and not primarily by
a motor.
