AT ROCKVILLE FAIR
RACING REGARDED AS BEST SEEN
THERE IN YEARS.

The racing at the Rockville fair yester-
day afternoon was regarded as the best
seen at Rockville In many years. High
class horses contested in each OF the three
harness events, while the mile dash also
oroughteout a good field.
The feature of the afternoon was the
breaking of the track record by Mysotis,
belonging to Mr.. L. c. Corbin of Washing
ton. This animal won the first heat OF the
free-for-all trot pace in the fast time
of 2. IA thereby reducing the track record
Just one second. In the third heat Gypsey
Red, belonging to Mr.. Jacob Ahrens OF
Baltimore duplicated the performance.
Mysotis also captured the second heat.
Gypsey Red. who finished fifth in each of
the first and second heats. got into his
stride in the third and experienced little
difficulty in landing the race.
Although the 235 pace was won in
straight heats by Paul Pry, ii was an ex-
cellent contest. The winner got away bad
ly in the first heat and was away back
during nearly the entire journey, but as
the horses entered the stretch he came with
a great burst of speed and nipped Phone
by a nose at the wire. Hero was only
few inches behind. but Myron c., the only
other starter was distanced. The finishes
in the other two heats were also close, but
Paul Pry was best.
Seven in Running Race.
A field of seven answered the call in
the running event at a mile After delay
at the post the horses were finally sent
away to good break. Ethelberta quick
ly assumed the lead and led the way until
within few feet of the wire, when she
was collared by John Seeley's, Seagate. the
latter winning by the scantiest of margins.
McFonso was third. The time was 1.451a
The 2.1S trot was captured by Kushan,
the property of Javins Bros. of Washing
ton. although in two heats he acted badly
and finished last each time.
A pleasing incident in connection with
the procession of stock around the race
track yesterday morning was the appear
ance at the head of the cavalcade of Miss
Margaret Jones, the little daughter of Mr..
Josiah w. Jones of Brookeville, and Mas
ter Clements Offutt, son of Mr.. Lee Offutt
of Rockville, president of the agricultural
society. They were mounted on Shetland
ponies.

VALUE OF MEXICAN PEARLS.
Varieties Found in Lower California
Are of Many Colors.

From the New York Tribune.
Jewellers are learning to realize the value
of the Mexican pearl. and the seasons work
in pearl fishing is proving very remunera-
tive. Adrain Cornejoy, a prominent pearl
fisher of lower California, says that the
pearl fishers all along the coast of the gulf
are doing an excellent business this year.
In this part of Mexico there is more variety
in the color of the pearls found than in any
other part of the world. The colors include
black, gray, red, blush green and yellow.
Mexican pearls are rapidly gaining a good
reputation in the markets OF the world. In
Paris. which is the center of the pearl
trade there are no pearls more in favor
than those from Mexico
There Is now aobut as much prospecting
for pearls in the Gulf of California as there
is hunting for mines throughout the In error
of Mexico, and the entire gulf coast Is
closely inspected by pearl fishers or pros
pectors. The best pearls are to be found
in the bottom of the pearl beds For TINS
reason old beds that were some time ago
supposed to have been worked out have
lately been raked over, sometimes with ex-
cellent results. One of the finest gray
pearls ever found was discovered In one OF
these deserted beds. Among the most val
liable pearls to be found in the Gulf of Cal
ifornia are those of a reddish color, put
these are discovered only occasionally.
They have an exquisite luster and many OF
them are large and of the most. perfect
shape.

HE LEARNED TO HUSTLE

There was a saltwater captain who,
for reasons of his own, accepted a
berth as first mate In big passenger
steamer on the Great Lakes. He was a
capable seafaring man, but he did not
know what HUSTLE meant until he
went aboard at Buffalo. The lake skip
per. to whom he reported for duty, re-
marked in the most casual manner:
. Just give her coat of paint this
morning, and If the sun stays hot and
she dries in good shape, give her sec
ond coat this afternoon
The saltwater mate staggered in his
tracks and made amazed protest. This
was. a 5. 000-ton vessel, aud giving her
two coats Of paint was several DAVIS
work, by his reckoning. The lake skip
per was a person Of 'discernment, where
fore he had pity on his new mate and
forbore to deal harshly with him, ex-
planning with a, tolerant grin:&.
80 Ali right. [ suppose you III have to
learn to move lively after snoozing
around salt water ali your life. You
just pass that order along to the bos n.
and tell him it 3 got to be done. and
then you sit up and take notice.
The hos N took the order calmly, as
if it were in the day 8 work, and by
nightfall the big steamer was spick and
span with two coats of paint from her
water line to her guard-rail. The sailor
from deep water had learned his first
lesson in the ways Of the Great Lakes
during the navigation season, when the
hard-driven shipping must be forced to
twelve months work in half year.

WOES OF POLAND
Prussian Methods Of Germanizing That

H., . Country.
It is difficult for an American to un-
derstand the Prussian method Of Ger
manizing the geography of the Polish
districts. One involuntarily asks, why
this attachment to externals3 The Pol

is still a Pole, and if his German sign
board is forced on him he. is a more
fervid Pole. And SO with the changes
names, even when showing a redund-.
ance of unpronounceable consonants
with impossible combinations, are still
picturesque. In their etymology they
s1e descriptive, and are not infrequent-
ly associated with notable events in
Polish history. &.
Suddenly an order comes from Ber-
lin, or from the government houses in
Posen, that on and after certain date
certain names Of places are to bear
German names. Every year there is
fresh list of these places published.
Let me give few examples The old
Polish town Inovraslay must be called
,Hohensalza from henceforth, name
without b significance or association;
Tarnovo is Schlehen, Edbardovo is
Bismarksfeld, Stajkovo is Bismark-
shoehe, Grzemsky is Bismarcksau. Doz-
ems of towns and villages with pre-
ponderatlng Polish population have
been rechristened after Bismarck, and
after various Wilhelms and Augustus,
of whom the Poles know little and care.
less. These are meaningless and irri-
tating changes.
The ensuing confusion is bad enough,
but this is not the worst. If I write
to friend in Inovraslay, and forget
for moment that the town s official
designation is now Hohensa1za, my let,

liyered for three or four days. It must

are identical. But as often as not such
letters are returned to the sender with
the laconic remark on the envelope,

zen of this city that letters from Waf-.
