CARPETS SHOULD BE ABOLISHED.
Their Use I'm Houses Injurious to
Health of Occupants.

heultn OF occupants
Medical men generally agree that the
carpet is an abomination in any house and
must give way to bare floors II the health
OF the community is to be preserved. The
dirt that carpets gather, says one OF the
physicians, comes from the street and is,
consequently, as full Of imp: rites and bac-
terra as it well can be. The latter cling
to the soft pile until they are dislodged by
the broom, when they fill the air and pres
emily get into the lungs Of whoever is near
and begin their nefarious work of running
the constitution.
1t is certainly not a nice thought and the
worst Of 1t is that it sounds plausible, as do
all the things that the unpleasant seeker
after microbes has to say on that subject.
The physician points out that the only
way that awful results are to be avoided is
to give up not only the carpet itself, but
also all large and heavy rugs. Bare floors
must be the rule, according to this author
jty, unless one consents to use light mats
that may be taken out OF doors to be
shaken. Even then what happens to the
shaker is a matter for sad conjecture.
There is one alternative after all. If men
folks can be induced to remove their shoes
in Oriental fashion before entering the
house all may yet be we'll. OF course, the
women will have to follow suit, and when
those halcyon days arrive we will be privi-
legged to see tiny, high-heeled shoes and big
No. 9s reposing side. by side outside our
portals and a moments lection will In

There are people who, even in this en-
lightened age, do not believe in the merry
bacillus, and they are the ones who, at the
risk of life and limb, will cling to the deadly
carpet, no matter what the result.
They point to the fact that their ances-
tors used carpets and lived to be 80 years
old or more. They say that Of Great-grand.
mother Smiths eleven children all butione
lived to be over 50, and that one was KILLED
by a bull. But those who argue thus are
foolish people and vain. The reason the
busy bacillus did not finish in very shoT
order those ignorant ones in olden times
was because he had not been discovered
then, and there is no glory in killing per
sons II no one knows who did 1t. Now tha'

BOOKS WERE. SLAUGHTERED
AT YESTERDAYS RACES
JEFF oUTFOOTED
BY BACK NUMBER.

John Croker's Back Number had all
OF the speed in the first event, winning
from JEFF, the well-touted favorite, by
a good length, with plenty in hand.
Back Number was held at twos in the
betting, opening at 5 to 2, but a lot of
money went in, and the horse, which
few favored, with the exception of the
owners, was hammered down.
jeff, the favorite, was off to a bad
start and could not get up in time
when he started to make his run. He
was badly interfered with, and had
to make up too much ground to catch
Back Number.
Dorothy Yates finished third, a length
away, and ran a most surprising race
With a good start she would have been
placed much closer up at the finish. Jeff
was undoubtedly the class of the race,
but suffered poor racing luck
Owner Croker of the winner had a
nice bet down, and was rewarded for
some of the hard losings he has made
in the last few days. Day before yes
terday he saw Dick Ripley beaten by
an eyelash for a handsome wager. Jeff
was freely played by the talent, though
much money went in on LaBelle, who
opened at tours and went to 5 to 2.

be seen last night, but there is but

that the Fair Association will be glad

claimed for him the title of champion
of the aged horses, or rather those

track. Last night Harry Schultz. own

TALENT WAS HIT HARD
WHEN SKY BLUE LOST.

The most heavily backed horse that
second event, in which there were only
five starters. Wiseacre, the real class
of the race, was chalked up at to 2
in the first betting, and Sky Blue was
at 8. There was a wild rush for the
good thing. Men scrambled over each
other to get their money down, and
the scene approached that presented at
some of the large tracks in Derby
day.
From threes down to twos the books
rubbed, then on down to even money,
and still there was no cessation in
the clamor for tickets. There was
nothing but "Sky Blue, Sky Blue" in
the air and Benny Falk look
ed up to the heavens and
saw that the sky was over
cast and he continued handing out
the Sky Blue tickets. Down to four
to five, then three to five, finally, when
the books had several sheets covered
with Sky Blue numbers, they cut the
price to to 5, and that is the way
the good thing, which, by the way, is
the property of Mr.. A P. Doyle who
has furnished many surprises to the
turf since his advent some two or
three years ago, went to the post
There were no takers for Wiseacre.
He was passed up by nearly every one
except those cooler heads who have
seen these wild rushes before. They
first set about finding out who this
Sky Blue was. He had been entered
here once and did nothing. In fact,
none of his performances had been of
the sensational order. and the wise
ones passed him up for horse that
they knew.
Wiseacre went to the post with 6
to offered about him. The small
field was sent off to a bad start, Eva

WISE ONES MADE A
KILLING ON BEDLAM.

The real good thing of the day was
Bedlam in the last race. Welsh Girl,
J. r. Hands chestnut mare was the
legitimate favorite and only lost
through the worst kind of racing luck,
coupled with a bad ride on the part OF
Waldo. Though Welsh Girls price was
cut down, the books would have Jared
much better mad she won. All of the
pikers went to Bedlam, and at the COM
paratively long price of to / the books
had much more to pay out than they
would have had on Welsh Girl.
When the barrier went up Welsh
Girl was the last to get away and in
stead of waiting until he reached the
back stretch to make his bid for the
lead Waldo, VINO had the leg up start
ed around the field at the first turn, and
covered an eighth more ground than
the rest of the field. At the three
quarter pole, after making a heart
breaking run the mare had moved up
to fourth place, and Bedlam, who had
been running easily in third and then
second place, commenced making his
run. DR.. Worth, who had been making
the pace blew up at the three-quarter
pole and it was then left between Bed
lam and Welsh Girl to fight it out.
Waldo waited too long for his final
effort letting Bedlam get three lengths
TO the good in the stretch before COM
mencing his ride. He was coming fast
at the last furlong, but could not get
up in time to put his mounts nose in
front of the gelding. 1t was a hard
race to lose, and the best horse did not
win.
Sister Ruth had several good chances
to take the lead, but was not fast
enough to stall off the other two. Any
way, the finish was rafting good one
and the grand stand was highly en-
Unused when the two raced under the
wire three lengths in front of Nuptial.

old gelding, took up top weight yes
terday afternoon, and won from the
best all round field that has started
at the meeting here. In winning the
third event. DR.. Guernsey demonstrat-
ed that he is undoubtedly the best
horse in training at the track. The
distance, mile and sixteenth with
us pounds, up was believed by many
to be too much for the crack gelding,
and Economic was favorite in the bet
ting, going to the post at to 2, with
to 1 freely offered about Guernsey.
The big field was off to a good start,
Economic being the first to break with
Hucena, Mazzara, Reformer and
Guernsey in the order named. At the
quarter Head. on Guernsey, went up
to third place, challenging the leader,
Economic racing past at the half, and
turning into the home stretch two
lengths to the good. Mazzara, who
had been badly pocketed in fifth posi-
ton came with a rush at the head of
the stretch, and Guernsey had to be
shaken up to stall her off. She ran
most impressive race, and was at
the winners girth when he flashed
under the wire midst the pandemonium
that reigned in the grand stand.
Hucena, who was much favored at
the distance with only ninety-seven
pounds up was off to a bad start, get
ting away in seventh place, and hav-
ing to run all around the field. She
was coming fast in the stretch. She
was backed from tours to 5 to 2,
and with a better rider would have
rewarded her hackers. Sinclaire was
practically of no assistance to her.
Economic had no speed and could
not respond when called on to make
her run.
