Last fall when Ralph Henry Barbour sub
mitted his first novel The Land of joy"
to Doubleday. Page &; Co.. It was consd-
cred in the regular way. and four readers
voiced with one accord the statement that
each had greatly enjoyed it and prophesied
its success Such verdict is very unusual,
and was unfailing evidence that the sales
would be large. The Ladies' Home Journal
was glad to take the serial rights. and the
Booklovers' Library as soon as they read
the book gave an advance order for 800
copies. This very joyful novel has mainly
to do with youth and love and life at Har-
ward University.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET,

X YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET: ! The general tone of the market this morning was very radically improved It is true that there were some sharp declines in special stocks. notably Col orado Fuel and Rock Island. but the trading was not accompanied by any such excitement as that characterized previous days of the week. Tn some spots the list showed marked advances. The cornparatieY calm in to-day's mar ket is explained most plausibly by very excellent advices tlsat the party who has been liquidating most heavily has now come to the end of his line of stocks and that the urgent selling pressure is probably over for the mo- rnent There seems to be little doubt but tha. the recent heavy selling has come mainly from a prominent capi- talist who was involved in several deals with MT. Schwab The outlook for the hank statement is cheering, which helped general sentiment. The most important things to note are that there was no trace of demoralization this morning but on the contrary an undertone os confidence. A good deal of stocks came out for sale on bulges but the selling was an orderly sort.

At Nutmeg Park This Afternoon-Al-
 batros, the sGuideless Wonder. z
 The gentlemen who recently purchas- ed the Nutmeg park with it's costly race track, grand stand, large barns, stables and other buildings have made arrange ments for a good race meeting to be held this afternoon. The offer of $500 for horse races should bring to the wire an entry list sufficiently large to ensure close and interesting contests. In addi- ton to the regular events the managers have made arrangements for an exhibi- ton of speed by the guideless wonder .s.Albatros, a pacer that is remarkably fast without rider, driver or sulky. This fast horse is one Of several that have been trained for this style of race, and has shown wonderful speed without reinsman or pacemaker.
 The horses are to be called at 1:30, which is an indication that the races will be finished in good season. The able managers are taking extra pains to make the park a very popular pleasure resort.
