MODERN RACE HORSES.
High Average Of Speed That Has Been
Attained To In tho Last Few
Years.

The average race of 1903 was run a half
second faster than in previous seasons.

brooklyn handicaps were cr"" ted, thcy
were intended primarily to be endur-
ance races, in which horses should ta kc
up strong weights aEG run rec9cctabj,

we once called those handicaps dis
lance" races. Now they are Sprint"
races-nOthing less than that. Tie Dacr
is terrific. Five years ago horses sprint
eo SIX and seven furlongs. Last sum
mer they sprinted a mile and quarter,
taking the popular handicap routes at
pace that not many years ago would
have been that of a quarter horse. The
hrst OF the great handicaps is the Metro
politan, a mile at Morris Park in May.
Only those horses that are especlall,
forward In their preparation may
start. So early in the year n o great deed
is anticipated in the Metropolitan, and
yet the running in the season that has
Just passed was remarkable for the pace.
William G. Whitrey's splendid four
year-old GuDfre was the winner after
terrific struggle, during which the clipset
by the front runners was q s-rair of he
most trying sort. Alternately Gunfre,

CHARACTER OF ISABELLA.
The Beautiful COnsort of Ferdinand Who
Helped Columbus.

|
Isabella was lady, she was queen,
and, above all she was an autocrat
Gracious and gentle in her manner
saws r. Ulick Burhe's "a History OF
Spain" she brooSed no opposition from
prince or peer, and she soon made it
known and felt throughout Spain that,
although she was the daughter of John
III. and the sister of Henry w.. her
will was law in CASTLE. Beautiful,
virtuous. discreet with that highest ex-
preston of proud dignity that is seen in
a peculiar simplicity of manner, with
a hard heart and fair coutenance, an
inflexible will and mild manner
something Of Journalist, more of
bigot-Isa bella united much that was
characteristic of old CASTLE with not a
Ettle that was characteristic of new
Spain. And if her boldness was in
herited from the Cid, her bigotry was
bequeathed to Philip ii.
No man can read the history of the
times without being struck by the enor-
nous personal influence of Isabella.
An accomplished horsewoman, a tireless
traveller, indefatigable in her attention
to business of state, the queen with her
court moved about from place to place,
swift to punish crime and to encourage
virtue, boldly composing the differences
and compelling the submission of rival
mobiles, frowning upon the laxity of the
clergy, denouncing the heresy of the
people and laying heavy hand upon
enemies of every degree and evildoers of
every class. In Andalusia the unaccus-
toned and unexpected presence of the
sovereign was everywhere productive
of peace and order Even in the remotest
districts of Galicia the royal power was
felt Over fifty fortresses, the strong.

Gun boat on the Ohio.

Gunboats were common on the Mis-

recent years the river has seldom
foated ships of the navy. Conse-
quently, when the monitor Arkansa.
one of the newest ships of it's class,
steamed up the river recently on it's

the people Of Evansville, Ind, by MAX

had any ship of the navy touched at
that port. Both the Mississippi and
the Ohio are deep enough to float a
much larger vessel than the Arkansas.
