Jack Axworthy Won Lexington Stakes
in Straight Heats.

Two stake races on the card yesterday at
Lexington attracted an unusually large
crowd to the trottng meeting. John Tay-
lor. the to 5 favorite. won the unfinished

heat and only the three heat winners of

The West stake of 5000 for 300 trot-
ters was won in three straight heats by
John Caldwell the 1 to 5 favorite. There
was no pooling on the race. his victory
being conceded. Direct Well was distanced
for running.
The Lexington stake, worth $1,000, for
two-year-olds, trotting, went to Jack AK
worthy in two straight heats. Bon Voyage
was the favorite on the strength of his
winning the two-year-old division OF the
Futurity last week. Charles Marvin sold
Bon Voyage to w. A. Clark of Butte. Mont,
the day he won the Futurity, for $4,000.
He apparently had each of the heats won
until the very finish. Bertha Bennett and
Elmford divided third and fourth money.
Jack Axworthy, the winner OF the race,
was bred and is owned by John II. Shuts
of New York.
The 2:O6 class, pacing. was won in two
straight heats by E. e. Smathers' Sphinx

second and third money with Hal Chaffin.

horse come out of the paddock.

Orthodox and De Reszke win their races in
his colors, and incidentally to bet on them
at Morris Park yesterday. Hayman was

first race and lost at Morris Park yesterday.

THE MAsQUERADER: a Novel by Katherine

Illustrated New York: Harper & Brothers.
Two men meet in a dense London fog. so
dense that they cannot see each other
They fall to talking while waiting for the
fog to lift and each finds his unseen
companion to be n man of intelligence and
observation One of them, a member OF
parliament, rich, influential and gifted
asks the other for a light and in the fiash
of the match is startled by the appearance
of his own face reproduced as in a mirror
From this encounter grows a situation
which. whether improbable or not in terms
of real life Is nevertheless susceptible OF
highly dramatic development In novel
Conceding a resemblance between John
Loder and John Chilcote so perfect that
not even the latters wife could tell the
difference the author has undoubtedly
constructed a tale of almost persuasive
power. She has ingeniously devised ways
and means to facilitate the deception pro-
posed by Chilcote, a victim of the morphia
habit. who. seeking respite from the re-
sponsiblities Of his position, asks Loder to
take his place occasionally. There would

cooks who came and went in the Fairfax
fiat are types of the ladies of domestic
service" They stand rather as the horri
bic examples that accentuate the problem.
The author describes the rude awaken
ing of the two youngsters who so bravely
started housekeeping, and brings them
|, quickly out of their post nuptial paradise
and eventually into the haven of seclusion
In a family hotel" His touches are
delightfully."- funny at times, and If the
narrative trends occasionally toward repe-
tftion 1t Is the fault of the monotonous
succession of culinary disappointment
rather than of the writer. The reader
would perhaps be better pleased IL the
author did not refer to his own dramatic
"criticisms,' even in tone of reproach in
the mouth of one of his characters. But
whatever the objections to the manner OF
telling, the tale is worth while II only to
put into form a series of minor domestic
tragedies which sharply emphasize the ex-
istence of a situation far more loudly de-
manding the attention of reformers than
the question of political graft and tariff
revision. 1t lies at the root of the happi-
ness of men and women and is closely allied
to the really serious sociological questions
of the day.
