Historic Race Conrse.

The vicinity of Belmont park, Long
Island, was the early scenes Of more
racing activity than any other spot on
this continent. Here it was that the
Newmarket course was constructed In
1869, by the sanction of Colonial Gov
ernor Lovelace. This course continued
to be the theater of action in racing
sports until 1921. 1t was in this vicin-
ity also that the old Centerville course
was constructed, which for many years
was one of the most famous of Amer
lean race tracks. In 1921 the legisla-
ture passed an act allowing the speed
ing of horses in Queens county during
the months of May and October of each
year, and by virtue of this law the
Union course was constructed the same
year. This course was located in what
was then the village of Jamaica, but
the territory it occupied now forms a
part of the borough of Queens. From
the time of its construction until 1872
the Union course was the scene of near
ly all the great racing events of the
country.
1t was over this course that American
Eclipse and Sir Henry, in 1923, thrilled
the hearts of the sporting world in one
of the greatest turf battles ever wit
messed in the annals of racing.-Illus-
trated Sporting News.

Big Noses In Enxnr

In Japan the nose is the only feature
which attracts attention. The nose de-
termines the beauty or ugliness of the
face, according as it is big or small.
This Is probably due to the fact that
difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction between one Japa-
nese face and another. The eyes are
invariably black, the cheek bones high
and the chin receding In Japan a
lady who has a huge proboscis is al
ways a great beauty and a reigning
belle. There are a few large noses
among the natives, and lucky is he or
she upon whom nature lavishes one.
In all Japanese pictures representing
the supposedly beautiful woman the
artist invariably improves on nature
by depicting this feature as abnormally
developed.

WSnitev TOWRr

Every one is familiar with various
spite fences or houses, but it is safe to
say that quite the most costly and
elaborate enterprise of this kind in the
world Is the famous Wainhouse tower,
In Yorkshire, England. Its builder,
John Edward Wainhouse, was the
owner Of dyeworks in that valley.
Next to his estate lay that of an Eng
lish lord. The two quarreled, and
Wainhouse built the tower so that he
could always overlook his neighbor's
grounds, although they lay much high
er than his own. The tower is nearly
300 feet high and cost $4,000 to build.

Mark Twain Missed the Roat

The success achieved by Mark Twain
during his boating days on the Missis-
sippi river was due not only to the fact
that he was skillful pilot, but that be
was an earnest one as we'll. A man
who knew Mr.. Clemens in those days
told how the genial humorist once
missed his boat. Instead of inYentine
an excuse, as many Of his companions
did, he reported to his superior office:
as follows:
my boat left at 6:10. l arrived al
the landing at 600 and could not catch
It."

DUELlNG IN AMERICA.
The First Fatal Meeting Was Upon
Historic Boston Common.

The First Fatal Meeting Was Upon
Historic Boston Common.
The first fatal duel fought in what
is now the United States was upon
Boston Common, between Benjamin
Woodbridge and Henry Phillips, on the
evening Of July 3, 1928. These young
men had quarreled over cards at the
Royal Exchange tavern in King street,
now State street, and under the influ-
ence of drink had agreed to settle their
differences with swords in the public
grounds above named. They met at q
little after o'clock in the evening, and
Woodbridge was mortally- wounded
morning.
Both were gentlemen of good social
position. Phillips was brother of
Gillian Phillips, who married Marie, the
sister of Peter Faneuil, the builder of
BostOn's famous hall. Woodbridge had
not completed his twentieth year. He
was a young merchant who had re-
Gently been admitted to business as a
partner with Jonathan Sewall, one of
the most active merchants of the place.
Henry Phillips, young graduate of
the college of Cambridge, was about
four years older than Woodbridge, hav-
ing at the time of this melancholy af-
fair completed his twenty-third year.
Woodbridge was the son of a gentle
man of some distinction in Barbados,
one of the MAGISTRATES there who had
formerly been settled in the ministry
as pastor in Groton, Conn.
The place Of meeting was on the ris-
ing grounds of the Common, not far
from the great elm, near where in the
olden time a powder house stood.
Small swords were used No one but
themselves participated. Woodbridge
fell mortally wounded and died on the
spot before the next morning. Phillips
was slightly wounded and at mid
night, by the aid of his brother Gillian
and Peter Faneuil, Of famous memory,
made his escape to the Sheerness, a
British man-of-war then lying in the
harbor, and before the sun of the next
morning had fully discovered to inter-
ested friends the miserable result of
the unfortunate meeting he was on
his way to France, where he died in
less than a year of grief and a broken
heart.-United Service Review
