Doom Of the Compound Engines.

A dispatch FROM St. Paul. Mimi, says:
The severe cold fhis winter has prac-
tically doomed the big compound locomo-
tives on several osffR important st. Paul
lines. and it is doubtful II further orders
will be placed for anything but simple en-
gines. for either freight or passenger serv-
Ice. Engine drivers have been making bit
ter complaints against the compounds. and
several accidents taY9 resulted from their
use. The constant protests against them.
1t Is believed, wifi 4esslt in an important
change in the selection Of motive power
and a more extended use of the simple type
of engine.
The chief fault 81 lie big compounds is
that the constant leakage Of steam from
the stufing boxes and by valves in road
service envelopes them always IN cloud
of white steam. which In severely cold
weather frequently makes 1t impossible for
the locomotive engineer to see ahead or to
catch signals set for him.

Yacht Club Cruise,

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-This was an
unusually busy day for the marine re-
porters stationed about Glen Cove at
the entrance to the Sound. Their
steam launch was kept humming all
day, fitting after the white winged
yachts. that were bound to the east
ward preparatory to rendezvousing for
the annual cruise of the New York
Yacht club. The indications are that
this years outing will eclipse anything
in the past. The cruise proper will
not begin until tomorrow, when the
yachts will get under way and pro-
coed to Morris Cove going on to the
old whaling port of New London the
day following. AS in former years the
cruise will extend to Newport where
the yachts will engage in the annual
races for the Aston cup next week.

LEXINGTON TRAINER REAPS A
RICH HARVEST WITHOUT
RACING HIS HORSES.
He Buys Them As Meanings, Develops
Their Early Speed and Sells
Them.

LEXINGTON, KY. Aug. 11.-W. w.
Evans, the famous. handler of baby
ties showing some startling figures
whereby he sets forth that there is
more profit in buying weanling trotters
and selling them as 2-year- olds than
putting the money in thoroughbred
youngsters and selling them also at
an early age. Evans never races any
colts. He buys bunch of weanlings
and yearlings and sells them after he
has broken and developed their early
speed.
He has made a financial success of
the business and is yearly increasing
mis- bank account. He bases his fig
ures on the prices now prevailing in
the trotting and thoroughbred market
He says he can buy Il bunch of choice
trOtting bred youngsters for one fifth
what a similar string of thoroughbreds
cost him, and, therefore, for a man to
make the same amount of profit he
does on a trOtting colt, in proportion,
he must sell his thoroughbred colt or
filly for five times as much.
Among the cases he sites is that of
Pleasant Thought, the most royalty
bred trOtting yOungster offered at pub
lie sale the year Evans bought her He
paid 1910 for her, kept her one season
and sold her as a 2-year-old for
$4,000.
AS an offset to this A. Belmont paid
$4,000 for the weanling half-sister to
Hamburg, later named Lady Lang
ulsh or course. Belmont bought the
royalty bred imported daughter of ST.
Simon for breeding as well as racing
purposes, but Evans figures, had the
New York millionaire decided to sell
her as a 2year- old, to make the same
percentage VI pIOlll lie Realized on
Pleasant Thought, Belmont would have
had to obtain the enormous sum of up
ward of 100000.
Col. r. p. Pepper and Gen. w. T.
Withers both made and left large for
tunes without racing their trotting
horses to any extent, and Evans says
