NEW YORK CITY. Oct. H.
Some of the rain that has
been deluging the South has fall
len here for the last few days
The ideal weather that usually prevails
here in October has not yet been in
evidence. This lachrymose meteorlog-
ical condition is not only bewailed by
the fair ones who have fall finery to
display, but by lovers of good racing. for
the autumn meeting at Belmont Park
is on this week, and the track is fet-
lock deep in mire as a consequence of
/ the frequent and heavy showers. This
is an event in which society as we'll as
sportsmen take keen interest.
Gorky Will Leave Us.
Maxim Gorky, who has been in the
United States for several months, will
return in few days to Russia, where
he thinks he is needed more than he
is here. He has made several speeches
in this city recently, advocating the
election of Morris Hillquit, the Social
list candidate for Congress in the Ninth
district.
Department Stores Moving.
The department stores that cater to
the ultra-fashionable are moving north
ward, and Sixth avenue between 14th
and 23rd streets, will soon lose it's
prestige as the shopping district.
James McCreery & Co. have taken
possession of a spacious establishment
on 34th street opposite the Waldorf
Astoria, and B. Altman & Co. will next
Monday move into palatial building
on Fifth Avenue, between oath and
35th street Travellers say that in
none of the great European centers
do the shops compare in size and
beauty with those of Gotham. Just
now their windows are filled with such
ravishing things that every woman
not minus her sight longs for the
purse of a Croesus.
Foot passengers today had some
difficulty in getting past the south
east corner of Broadway and Canal
street, where is situated a haberdash-
cry, in the window of which a young
man was demonstrating the merits of
a reversible neck scarf. First he ex-
hibited a tie that the soberest business
man need not hesitate to wear; by
simple twist it was transformed into
one that a man might don to go to
theatre, attend an afternoon function,
or call upon his-best girl, and all this
utility and beauty for fifty cents.

Morning Journal, and the first issue
will appear next Monday. 1t will be
