Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Aug. IAN event has oc-
CURED that is likely to have far reach
ing influence on football and perhaps
also cricket in France. The Polo club
has signed an agreement with the
Racing club of France conceding the
use of the grounds in winter for foot
ball matches, and will probably con-
cede its use on Sundays for cricket
matches in summer. A great obstacle
to progress in football has hitherto
been the lack of a ground. Henceforth
the Racing club has space for five
matches simultaneously, so that pro-
vincial and army teams will be able
to recruit their funds by gate money
in Paris.

Since the advent of straw hats for
horses a few seasons ago the style
similar to the big straws worn by
fishermen and bathers plus holes cut
for the ears has remained the favorite.
But another kind that has come into
wide use is a cloth hat built on wire
frames with the cloth stretched like
an awning. This is not unlike the in
verted basket hats worn on the ranches
by cowboys.
The very latest wrinkle in horse
headwear, however, is a sugar loaf
straw, with wide rings of straw on
either side to fit over the horses ears.
Although the affair resembles the deco
rations sometimes placed on idols, the
horses don't seem to mind a bit.

Special Correspondence Of The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Life insur-

during the next few weeks by the diff

so that 1t is expected there will be an
expose of unwholesome conditions In
the various New York companies suf-
ficient to throw in the shade all of
those unsavory details in the manage
ment of the Equitable which came to
light through the Alexander Tarbell-
Hyde struggle for control
At the present time there are no
fewer than four duly constituted and
fully empowered agencies at work
delving into the details of the man
agement of the great New York COM
panies, and not a single one is stop

ing on separate and distinct lines, but
the most important results are to be
expected from the senate and assem-
bly, joint investigation committee.
That there is a decided trend of sem
timent in favor of a general overhaul
ing of the immigration laws is shown
clearly in the call which has been is
sued by President August Belmont of
the National Civic federation for a
general and quasi official conference
and Z in this city.
The conference will be under the
auspices of the Civic federation, and
the governor of each state in the Union
has been requested to name ten dele
gates to represent his state at the
meeting. In addition to this, the call
for the meeting includes a set of ques-
tions which the various delegates are
expected to answer for their respective
states.
The questions cover the character
of the net increase of the country's
population, whether legislation is adj
visable to exclude undesirable elements
and whether existing legislation on the
subject should be made more effective;
whether there should be any change in
the method of inspection of immi-
grants and what the demands of this
country are in respect to more labor.
The housing and general employment
of aliens also will be discussed. as will |
be the question of extending the theory |
of the Chinese exclusion act to cover
Japanese and Koreans, together with
means of admitting the exempt classes
of all Asiatics, such as scholars, mer-
chants and tourists.
With an organization such as the
National Civic federation taking hold
of this great problem, and at a time
when the sessions of congress are
about to be resumed, it is believed
much general good can be accom-
plished.

prince Halls CASTLE" one of the old
landmarks of Harlem, has been torn
down to make way for a six-story
apartment house. The old building was
at Fifth avenue and One Hundred and
Twenty-sixth street, and was built by
Harry w. Genet, one of the chief lieu
tenants of the late Boss" Tweed. In
1871, when it was completed, it was
considered a marvel
When he began to work on the house
Genet was the Tammany Hall leader in
Harlem, and the material with which
the house was constructed was said
to have been intended for court house
which never was built.
Genet made thousands of dollars in
politics, but he became enmeshed with
the law about the time he intended to
open the house, and had to flee the
country, Years afterwards, broken in
spirit he ended his exile by giving
himself up to justice and served six
months In the penitentiary.

One of the latest and most enthusiasts

Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tam
many Hall. So enthusiastic has Mr..
Murphy become that some of his politi-
cal friends jokingly are suggesting that
he may be unable to tear himself away
from the golf links for sufficient time
this fall to manage the municipal cam
paign.
Oown at his country home at Good
Ground, L. l., Mr.. Murphy is having
workmen lay out a six-hole golf course
for his own enjoyment. Everything is
being conducted on an elaborate scale
and the workmen are acting under in
structions to make the course as nearly
as possible a miniature ST. Andrews.
Improvement is the general order on
the Murphy estate at this time. Work
just has been completed on a capacious
wine cellar and now there is in course
of construction a windmill which will
pump into a reservoir of $4,000 gallons
capacity. An irrigation system will be
installed, and Mr.. Murphy is taking
solid rank as a gentleman farmer and
golfer.
