 Lexington, Ky, Oct. 1s.-Lady May and Patchen Maid, heavily played fa- vorites for the 2:17 pace and the PIP trot, respectively, to-day lost their or- portunities by breaking at critical periods. Lady May had the first and second heats won by the time she had reached the half, but broke badly and finished almost last in each heat. She got bad start in the third heat, but finished second, and she had the fourth heat won until within one hundred yards Of the flag, when she broke and went under the wire running, d head behind Funston.
 Patchen Maid was another bad actor. She won the first heat of the 2:l2 trot.
 Grace Bond easily captured the Ken lucky stake for three-year-old trotters. Grace Bond broke the stake record in the first heat by trotting the mile in 2:101a and again broke it in trotting the second and final heat in 2:1OA The stake record of.2:111ls was made by sa- die Mac last year.
 Mainland, the favorite, won the 2:22 trot in three straight heats after giv- ing the first heat to Miss Jeannette. After the first heat the victory was an easy one for Mainland.

CHINA AS "A POWER.
REMARKABLE SCHEME OF SIR
ROBERT Fart.
suggests Plan for Reorganization o.
Army and Navy to Government
Would Increase Taxes and &.
Prevent Extortion. n
-..-----,

A remarkable scheme Of military
and naval reorganization has been.
presented to the imperial Chinese gov,
eminent by Sir Robert Hart. the in
spector general of customs.
Sir Robert points out that when
the Russo-Japanese war is over seri.
GUS troubles will fall to the lot Of
China If she remains as she Is. The
first step to make China powerful, he,
says, is to organize and drill her
armies, and to effect this money must
be raised.
The present revenues of China from
customs duties and taxes amount to
eighty odd million taels per annum...
OF this sum the bigger half is con.
sumed in repaying loans and meet
ing the wal indemnity.
Sir Robert Hart proposes the 0
g%anization and a more strict collec.
ton Of the land taxes by imperial de-
cree. This is expected to produce AGO.
100000 taels. Some $4,000, 900 Of this
would be spent on army defense.
Four armies, each consisting of So.
900 men, would be organized. An ar.
rangement under which reservists
would serve is also devised. This, in
ten years time, would give China an
army Of 500. 900 men.
The constitution Of three fleets, each
composed Of 20 w%arships and GO tor.
pedo boats, each fleet to be manned
by 10000 men, is also proposed, and
new military and naval academies
are to supply the necessary officers.
-Four arsenals are also suggested for
the manufacture Of arms and am.
munition.
In order to place officials under no
necessity of extorting money from
the people under their Jurisdiction,
Sir Robert Hart suggests a rear
rangement Of the salary list Of tho
chief officials of the empire, so that
each may have a settled sum Of
money sufficient for his personal ex.
penses with a little margin.
Finally Sir Robert suggests that
when the scheme has been decided
upon no n shall be allowed to OBJ.
struct it by trying to persuade their
majesties to rescind their consent.
Even If such an attempt is made there
is no reason why the words should be
listened to by their nfajesties.
The recommendations have been
sent to the various viceroys and gov
errors of provinces to be reported
upon.

funeral for her departed and engaged
the services of a noted preacher who
lived at a great distance from their
town. After the funeral she thanked
the eloquent man for his long and
beautiful discourse. The minister said
to her:
MADAM, when l passed through
your town l noticed quite a number Of
churches. As your husband always
lived here he must have been known
to the minister's Of this place. am
at Il loss to know why you engaged

In the gallery fell asleep and tumbled
off the bench to the floor, making n
