ner's sons, the record OF a vacation out
ing in an almost unexplored region of the
continent.
The authors chief aim and that Of his
companion, MIR. John N. Phillips, who
handled the camera, was a vacation in the
wilds. That Is the spirit in which the story
is told. The chase after mountain goats
and mountain sheep was a secondary object,
so that while the reader meets with many
observations which could not escape the
naturalist. the main interest is always
in the adventures encountered by the
campers
The photographs taken by Mr.. Phillips
are wonderful and fully justify the inclusion
OF his name on the title page. There is no
sentimental natural history here, but proof
that there is as much adventurous spirit
in the hunter with the camera as in him
who fires a rifle. The chase after goats and
| sheep cast the experiences with grizzlies
in the shade, and the snapshot OF an ugly
mountain goat at four DOT range supplies
all the evidence needed of the photographers
pluck.
II is a delightful outdoor book in which
the additions to scientific knowledge are
o~vershadowed by the story Of adventure.

A DRkOtan IdNl.

A romance Of frontier life in Dakota
lhead Of the railroad has been written by
Eleanor Gates in "The Plow-woman"
Mcclure, Phillips and Company. There
Ire red Indians, there are soldiers, there
Ire deplorably bad scoundrels and there 10
IN excellent and good looking young woman
tho cultivates her own farm; these all help
10 make a very readable tale.
The author has taken great pains to pre-
rare the ground and has sketched some
striking characteristic poor white father
with his rabid hatred of the Union soldiers,
he disgraced Indian warrior, the old mis-
s'onary, the weak younger sister. Perhaps
she does not make as much out OF these as
lie reader expects, and toward the end
tho seems to lose control of tho threads in
aer story. There is a suspicion that she
nay have read Mr.. E. Markham too seriously
Ind also that she has sacrificed at times
ogical deductions for a ~bappy" ending.
Her heroine is a young woman of much
yense, whose acquiescence in the foolish
hess Of others is very natural. She has a
pretty exciting time OF it while the story
asts. Her hero is always on hand when he
s needed. and is gifted with many ad-
nirable qualities; in the nature of things
he is rather indefinite. The descriptions
pf scenery are good. The author shows
more care and skill in this tale than in
her first book, but the inspiration in that
was, perhaps, truer.

vr Rrnm stOker's Henry Irving.

A great deal that is interesting about Sir
Henry Irving may be CLEANED with a little
patience from the two volumes OF Mr..
Bran Stoker's Personal "reminiscences
of Henry Irving Macmillans). No a
was closer 20 the great actor during the
greater part OF his professional career
than his business manager, and no man
probably could have related the same kind
Of perSonal anecdotes or described the
same sort OF little details that have their
Importance. It is. of course, not given
to everybody to be a Boswell. Mr.. Stoker's
personality is irrepressible. He cannot
keep IL under. 1t might be unkind but it
would not be wholly unfair to say that
these are chiefly his own "reminiscences
In which Henry Irving has a part. He
favors us on every page with his own i'm
pressions, his own behavior at a particular
moment, and hies OF at a tangent to describe
people he has met, no matter how little
connection they may have with Irving.

Some Successful
Marriages
BY Abby Mcguire Roach

This volume shows that mar
riage is not necessarily the end
but may be only the beginning
of romance. Here are a dozen
romances - all of an unusual
character--deaIing with a variety
of intensely interesting situations
that married life is constantly
producing. Collectively they
present an engaging common
tary on American married life to-
day.

He takes the centre of the stage from be-
ginning TO end.
This, no doubt, gives livelincss TO the
narrative, and fortunately Henry Irving
took q large place in Mr.. stoker's life. He
gives many interesting details about his
career and the staging Of his plays and
sticks to him pretty closely in his first
volume. We get some idea OF Irving's
theatrical career. We get conversations in
which Mr.. Stoker does most of the talking
but in which Irving puts in a word. We
find thoughts and ideas ascribed TO Irving.
The moment some great man Is met, now
ever, Irving is pushed aside at once and
Bran Stoker, with his impressions MS
talk. il put forward. We get a very
clear idea of his recollections OF Tennyson'
for instance. Later Irving and his bi-
ographer call on Walt Whitman. In twenty
pages, after the formal introduction, We
have two phrases exchanged between
Irving and Whitman. The rest is given up
to Mr.. 'Stoker's opinion OF Whitman and
the poets appreciation Of Mr.. Stoker.
1t il all garruloUus conversation that IA
entertaining. A good deal OF it was worth
telling. Some of it relates to Irving and
| often Irving is the starting point for an
! indefinite depression. There is a good deal
about him, perhaps all Mr.. Stoker can tell,
! and the reader whose interest is in Irving
and not in Mr.. Stoker will ave TO pick
that out as best he can.
The book is illustrated with many good
| and extremely interesting portraits, which
probably could have been gathered by
nobody else. 1t is an entertaining ac-
count Of a great dramatic career about
which the reader can only wish at times
that the business agent would forget him
| self a little.

A story of Brittany by one who
knows-a book that rings true,
written of an isolated and peculiar
people by one Of themselves. II
is a story of a land nearer than
Paris, but as remote as a dead CEN
fury, told by one who loves 1t

The men and women who

skilled with brush and color as in

dents of a plot of deep interest
are actual facts, strange as they

Rowing

A report reached the Harlem river
yesterday by the way of Toronto,
Canada, that James Wray, the Aus
tralian sculler and coach of Harvard
university, would not return to Cam
bridge but would go to Australia for
the purpose of rowing a special match
with George Touns, the worlds soul
ling champion. Wray did not come
back with the Harvard men on Sat
urday and not word was said as
to his whereabouts. There is a ru-
NOR current that the blame for the
defeat of Harvard by Cambridge has
been laid on Wrays shoulders and he
has not been pleased with the compli-
ment.
James Rice, the professional coach
formerly with the Weld Boat club Of
Harvard, was visitor at the Harlem
Rowing club yesterday. If the infor-
nation derived from Columbia college
men counts for anything Rice will
have charge of the blue and white
oarsmen for the next couple of years.
When asked if the report was true,
Rice refused to say anything but that
he would like to have the job and SO
on. Rice had long consultation with
AL Ward, the Harlem boat builder,
over boat the latter is building for
Eddie Durnau. the Canadian who is
going to Australia for big match
there. Durham will use Wards boat
in the race and intends to start for
the antipodes on October 6. He will
not carry the boat with him, but it
will be shipped from here to Sydney.

1t has been one of the most gratify-
ing and inspiring signs of the sea-
son to see that all the American cars
entered for the Vanderbilt cup race
were thoroughbred racers and not
touring cars. The domestic manufac-
turers were taught a valuable les
son last year when Tracy, with a
I0comobile racer finished third. But
for this showing on the part of Tracy
there might not have been any Gun
race here this year. 1t gave heart
to- all the other builders of racing
cars.
Governor Folk of Missouri has de-
vised a plan by which the "show me"
state can be provided with a system
OF improved highways. He said re-
Gently that he will Task the next leg
islature to pass law providing for a
state tax of 5000 on saloons, the
money collected to be turned into
fund for state roads. In Kansas City
alone there are $50 saloons and the
amount derived from such tax would
enable the state to do lots of road
building. Governor Folks plan is. to
start the road system with two great
highways across the state. one from
st. Louis to Kansas City and the other
from Arkasnas to the Iowa boundary.
With these as framework. branch
roads could be constructed until the

Automobiliing
The first of the light touring ca

The first OF the light touring cars
TO be manufactured by the E. r.
Thomas Detroit company has arrived
in Buffalo after remarkably salts
factory trip over the road from De-
troit. The route was laid through
Canada, and combination of severe
hills, sandy and dusty roads and
some mud made the run good test
OF all conditions of touring work.
The OdOmeter showed 299 miles, and
the time consumed was day and
a half. The car had never been run
fifty miles before the start from De-
troit, and it is unusual for makers
to start on a long tour with an en-
tirely new car without further tests
near home. However, no breakages
occurred; there was not hill on
the entire run that the car could not
negotiate on the high speed gear and
the car arrived in Buffalo in better
running condition than at the start,
as the tour had limbered it up 1t
was driven over the road by d. B.
Huss, the we'll known operator. 9th
ers in it were r. d. Chaplin and H.
+. Coffin of Detroit, and H. l.. Keats
of Portland, Ore.
Several noticeable features were
brought out by the trip. The oiling
system proved especially economical,
and not drop OF oil added to moter
supply. Almost no water was evapor-
ated and an average of sixteen miles
per gallon Of gasoline was main
tanned. The car was enthusiastically
welcomed at tho Thomas factory in
Buffalo by f. r. Thomas, who is pres
ident of both the Buffalo and Detroit
companies. Many Thomas agents had
come in for the arrival of the car,
and all seemed very we'll satisfied
with the showing made on the trip
and with their own inspection of the
machine.
The old adage. "a stitch in time
saves nine," applies to your tires as
we'll as to many other things. Like
teeth, holes and cuts in tire should
be attended to Immediately, no mat
ter how small they may be, otherwise
they increase in size, let water in, and
rot the lining of the tire.

gin that MIR. Johnson did not make
his races seven, for there were that
many races on the program, but he
did not make play upon the steeple-

won.

1t seemed only the other day that
continued misfortune caused johnson
to transfer all his stables to Lucien

was entertained by those who knew
his remarkable recuperative powers
that he would soon again be on his

1t was Rosben fortnight ago, add
ed to stake which he won at good
odds, that gave the plunger his new
start. With the money he won he
squared all his markers" or racing
debts, and then set about repairing
his shattered purse. In spite of the
heavy setbacks he had received,
johnson lost none of the gameness

was these qualities that enabled him
to establish his record of yesterday.

at about the same odds; on Running

his own colt, at 8 to and less, and
in the last on James Crawford, at

Senator Clay that he won his largest
wagers.
The news of his success soon
spread about the track and he was
surrounded in the clubhouse and pad
dock by friends, who overwhelmed
him with congratulations, for he is
popular among the men who make IN
the racing sport.
He was disinclined to talk of his
winnings in detail, although admit

Thomas Hitchcock, Jr.'s Salvidere,
which won tho junior championship
stakes at Gravesend Tuesday. is a
chestnut gelding by Belvidere-Sally
OF Navarro. He was bred by the late
Captain Sam Brown. and made his
first appearance of the year on July
IA, in the colcrs of w. Harry Brown,
when he forced Fountainblue to a
drive to beat him three parts of a
length after getting of poorly and
running green. Shortly after that
he was sold at auction at the dis
persal sale of the Brown horses. He
was not in great demand, and, on the
advice of John E. Madden. Thomas
Hitchcock, Jr., bought him for $1,000,
paltry price in view of what he has
since accomplished.
He has started six times under the
colors of Mr.. Hitchcock and not been
beaten, winning $49,155. He began
by beating Electioneer and others in
the MOntauk stakes at Brighton
Beach, and he followed this up by
winning the Brighton junior stakes,
the Wing Foot handicap, the Saritoga
special the Adirondack handicap and
the junior champion stakes. He was
not eligible for the futurity, or. in
all probability, he would have won
that rich fixture, as he has decisively
beaten the horses that figured in that
race.
He now heads the list of winning
two-year-olds in the amount of money
won, with $49,155 to his credit. Walter
Pearl comes second with $46,46O, and
Electioneer third with $44, 74O, by vir-
tue of his victory in the futurity. Sal
where, in winning six out of seven
races under stake weight and against
the best colts in training, has proven
himself to be horse of the highest
class. He has an easy, frictionless
way of going, is easily placed and
runs from behind in way that
stamps him a colt of stamina and high
courage.

The Eorthern-Copper league affairs
were wound up for the season at a
meeting held in Duluth on Sunday.
There was stormy time over the
awarding of the pennant to Calumet.
Houghton made bitter protest and

other things. which forced them to
forfeit the game at Houghton. The
pennant was awarded on technical
grounds to Calumet
a circuit committee was appointed,
consisting OF Cuddihy. OF Calumet;
