rate understanding Of conditions affect

Ven-dehned ideas regarding the Indian

Dixie Stakes Revived

Benning UnIuCky for Mr.. ChambIeL

The Dixie Stakes. yesterdays fiat rae
Ing feature at Benning. and which re-

race seen in many moons. is one OF the
historic and time-nOnored stakes cf the
American turf
Away back in 1870 the first Dixie was
run at the Pimlico track Racing was
in its swaddIing clothes at that time.
The Saratoga course had been built half
a dozen years, and the New Workers
had just been initiated TO the sport al
famous old Jerome Park, when the
Maryland Jockey Club established rae
ing at PimlicO and named its principal
event for e-year-olds the Dixie.
Big events for horses of this age had
already been found TO be great factors
at Saratoga and Jerome, and the PIN
leo meeting. coming as 81 did in the fan
of the year. offered the Dixie as the
final battle-ground Of the three-year-old
champions. The first running Of IT saw
Preakness the winner. then followed
Harry Bassett. Tom Bowling. Tom
Ochiltree, Duke OF Magenta. and other
horses who have added much 10 the
glory OF the American turf.

days. James Rowe. now the trainer for

horses Of the Dwycr brothers when with
Luke Blackburn, HindOo and other noted
horses the Dwyer silks were carried to
victory in nearly all OF the important
races Of the country. was a strip Of
lad then and rode Harry Bassett, the
Dixie's second winner So it is that the
Dixie is a connecting link between the
early days OF racing and the present
time.
With the building OF new courses and
with the conc entrauOn Of racing inter-
ests in the East AT New York the PIN
leo meeting ceased 10 be one Of import
ance and the Dixie was discontinued
some years ago. Three years ago per-
mission was granted the Washington
Jockey Club 10 transfer the famous race
10 Benning. Yesterday was the third
running under the new order OF things.
A companion event to the Dixie was
the junior Steeplechase, run for the
first time. The Junior was for three
year-Olds exclusively. and was the first
cross-country event of this character
ever run In this country. To DIR. James

REORGANIZATION OFFENSIVE

over the efforts OF William Jennings

the leaders Of Democracy on the sub
ject of reorganization" They will
not talk for publication, these gentle
men from the region which has for
many years furnished the backbone of
the Democratic party, but In private
conversation they express the opinion
that the Peerless Leader" IS a little
too previous"
Moreover. the term 'reorganization"
has an unpleasant, not 10 say offensive,
sound in their ears. They don't like it
and are 10th to admit that the party
they have followed from infancy is in
need OF reorganization. There was too
much OF IL, they say, In 1886 and in 1900.
And yet. when the seeker after infOrma-
ton tempers the phrase and asks for
views on Bryan's desire 10 formulate
plans for the future guidance of the
party. he encounters less wrath but no
more enthusiasm.

SHOT HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
Baltimorean Attempted to Kill His
Wife, Then Committed Suicide.

A dispatch from Baltimore. last night
SAYS: Albert Ambuster late tonight shot
and seriously wounded Mrs. Dora Hoffman,
his mother-in-law, tried to kill his young
wife and then put bullet through his own
brain He will die, but his mother-in-law,
though seriously wounded, may recover.
His wife ESCAPED.
The attempted murder and the suicide
are the sequel to a suit for divorce brought
by Mrs Ambuster, who is only twenty-one
years old. They were married three years
ago She charged him with unfaithful-
ness The court yesterday granted her all
mony pending decision in the case. When
Ambuster broke into the house tonight his
wife was disrobed in her room bending over
their year-old babe in the crib. When the
Infatuated man burst into the room he fired
at his wife She ran, screaming. into her
mothers apartment. adjoining This room
was dark. Mrs. Hoffman was lying on
couch. As Ambuster entered she arose,
and. probably installing her for his wife,
he fred two shots at her. both infiicting
serious wounds He then fired again at
his wife. and rushing back into the room
where the baby lay, he fired his last bull
let into his own head and fell unconscious
beside the childs crib.

have on. One may wear the double eoiiar
Qn or out of its right combination) witheut
eievatfng the chain-thank goodness for
that; but If the chain goes up, the fold
collar becomes an essential. However, I
do not recommend anyone to be too much
perturbed about this. Neither the men who
wear the chain across the top pockets, nor
the men who wear fold collar with formal
day dress, amount to very much. Still 1t
must be conceded that the latter combina-
ton is more smiled upon (and less smiled
at) than 1t used to be. Several gentlemen
whose position and taste entitle them to
certain respect wore double collars with
the frock coat at Goodwood this year with
out blush.
Among the minor items, which perhaps do
not come strictly within the purview of
this letter. may be mentioned the thin
watch. Especially for evening use perhaps
because very strict accuracy In watch is
not particularly important at night, and
never was, except to Cinderella) 1t is more
important In the estimation of the dandy
that his watch be thin than it be COR
rect. By an odd freak, it is much more
modish to carry a thin silver watch than
a thin gold one. can generally see some
sense in the mode; but confess can find
no adequate reason for this freak of the
fashionable.
While discussing colored handkerchiefs
just now, l might have remarked that
man of real taste would most likely on
formal day occasion use white linen
handkerchief with design in pink Why?
Because the pink Malmaison or picotee Is
the universal coat flower this year, and it
is worn so large the blooms admitting or
being blended one with another, to produce
from several the effect of one huge fiower)
that the color value of it assumes real inn
portance in the composition (as D'Orsay,
that true artist in appearance, would have
said of a mans costume. ASSuredly one
would not like a colored handkerchief and
a coat flower of this size ii they did not
match. No, indeed.
