WHITNEY's LOSSES HEAVY.
SAID to Have Dropped Close to $500,
900 During the Season.

william G. whitney, after balanc-
ing his accounts last year, found him
self to be 100000 loser through the
sport of racing" says Allen Sangree In
Ainslie's. "a pretty large sum, Is 1t
not? Enough to insure poor man
and his relations a comfortable living

the ex-secretary Of the navy for spend
ing his money so foollshly. But to
this Mr.. Whitney would reply that II

than the man that borrows money to

$50 far from blamed, there is a con-
siderable population-the attaches Of
Mr.. Whitney's stables-that look upon
him as the essence Of benevolence and
humanity. Whenever their patron wins
a race they all share In largess. One
day last summer bookmaker went up
to Trainer Rogers at the Saratoga
track just after Mr.. Whitney had won
stake of 1000 and remarked, half
interrogatively: The old man made

here doesn't mean anything
1.-THE entire community about race
track rejoices when the Whitney out
fit arrives, for money Is certain to be
circulated freely, and tricksters that
fix up a worthless horse so that he
will win one race, hoping that Mr..
Whitney will take the beast of their
hands, are always waiting about In
shoals. AS an example Of the racing
kings generosity, 1t is related that
upon winning the English Derby last
year he ordered a certain hotel pro-
prietor at Sheepshead Bay to give ev-
eryone that entered a bottle Of cham
payne. You may be sure the news
spread quickly and 1t was not long be-
fore the boniface had to call upon his
neighbors for supplies. The bill that
Mr.. Wnitney's secretary received
amounted to $4,000. 1t was paid.

Adjoining Lincoln Lucky, on the

Contract Let for TranspIantIng 1000

One Of the largest contracts fol-

The company departed from the
customary way Of laying of a sub

The contract specifies that none Of
the trees to be transplanted shall be

Some difficulty has been met with In
letting the contract, owing to the
scarcity Of maple trees Of the requir-

ing to accept contract for more than
300 trees. It Is estimated that the
cost will be $4,000 to $4,000. The

Paying Chinese Troops.

For years-as long as anybody has
known anything Of China-it has been
customary for the government to turn
over to the colonel OF the regiment Of
the army the money needed TO pay
his men. He took for himself as much
as his conscience and the circumstan.
ces would allow; then passed it on TO
the lieutenant colonel, who took out
his Squeeze" and then the balance
was divided among the captains, who
paid themselves and distributed what
they had left among the men, Nobody
had a fixed salary. Everybody was
dependent upon the generosity Of his
superior officers, and 1t was custom
airy for the superior officers to exag-
gerate when they submitted their
estimates OF the amount needed. The
colonel Of the regiment, for example,
would ask for funds to pay 1000 men,
when he had only $50 in his COM
mand, hoping to receive a sufficient
amount to satisfy everybody. A re-
form has been ordered, and the en-
peror, or whoever controls him, is evil
IDENTIFY determined to stop the practice
because the edlct referred to calls
upon the generals to make investiga-
lions and report all officers OF the
army who have been in the habit OF
using dummies" in making up their
regimental rolls. They are also In
structed to give notice that any one
found guilty Of such fraud hereafter,
will be punished by decapitation.

RosARIEs USED AS 5AUBLEs.

Partisan Women Of Fashion Have Con-
Verted Them Into Ornaments for
Their Pretty Dresses.
The recent closing of the converts
In France has given rise to new
fashion. When the nuns were turned
out, some of them threw their rosa
ries on the ground. Sympathetic on
lockers picked them up, to bequeath
them as a precious legacy to their
issue. Paris was delighted by the In

a rosary to hold up her dress or sup

secular use for a rosary to be put to,

revolution fragments Of the Bastille
were set In rings and bracelets, and q

These three additions TO the series of special
editions issuing from the Riverside Press make
IN each case a double appeal In the first place,
it is good literature with which we have to
reckon and then there is the charm Of perfect
bookmaking to be considered. Though uniform
in size. these volumes differ in their exquisite
daintiness. A delicately decorative type has
been chosen for the Ronsard, which has a title
page OF formal design in black and red. and is
appropriately clothed in covers of old rose.
The Typography of the Petrarch is similarly
graceful The title page here is a pictorial
scheme in black and red, and the cover is of
dark green. with vellum back. bold and
handsome type has been used in the reprint of
EmersOn's essay, which is bound in gray boards
with tawny back. In elegance of manufact-
ure the publishers have been as successful with
in the limits of these slender volumes as they
have been in their monumental edition of Flo
rios Montaigne. And, we repeat, they give us,
as in that case, literature worth reading

Of the sort put forth so clearly in the spirit of
the true man of letters. 1t is not so brilliant a
performance as Mr. Lang's memorable little
volume given to Theocritus Bion and Moschus,
but it recalls that publication in its atmosphere
Of scholarly and poetcal sincerity. The intro
duction is precisely what such a piece of writing
ought TO be; it sketches gracefully the PERSONAL
ity and career of Ronsard. and has many Of the
happy touches of Interpretation which serve to
put the reader in the right mood for what is to
follow. 1t is an interesting essay and the crtti-
cism in ii is judicious. though the gibe at Byron
in the closing passage is not only irrelevant but
unjustihable. However, IL is perhaps unreason-
