ELECTIONEER WINS
FUTURITY GOES TO HORSEMAN
 WILLIAM LAKELAND.
Man Who Makes His Bread On Race Track Snatches Thousands From Keene. Belmont And Other
 NIillfOnaires

New York, Sept. 1.--Down a lane of gray brown earth which had all the softness of velvet beneath the tread of the flying thoroughbred hoofs, fif- teen of the fIeetest 2-year-olds. the American turf has ever produced. raced madly today to a goal three-fourths of a mile away, where lay a purse rich enough to pay the ransom of king.
 It was the nineteenth running of the Futurity at beautiful Sheepshead Bay end as a roar from nearly 10000 throats rent the cir Electioneer, well named colt. by Voter-ouesal. flashed under the wire a winner by three-quarters of a length. Another champion had been proclaimed and William Lakeland, a horseman by profession, who trains his bread winners himself, and sleeps in the barn when needed, had snatched the richest prize of the year from half score of millianaires who race for the pleasure of the sport.
 Back of the winner and at his quar- ters was Pope Joan, the fastest lilly of the year, and the best of the trio which James R. Renee sent to the post to be played as favorites by the pub lie at the short price of to 5.
 Demund, the Goldfinch colt, for which Paul J. Kainey paid $45.O0O early in the season, was third, beaten for sec- ond honors by the shortest of heads. He had run a most creditable race.
 Next came Yankee Gun, an added starter: Peter Pan, to which the fran tic players of the Keene stable had pinned their faith; Yankee Girl, owned by c. R. Ellison; Ballot. which had been added by MT. Keene to take the place of Zambesi, who was scratched; Conville, one of the most widely tipped horses in the race; Norace E., the fam ous western colt bought by Roy Rafney for S25.OOO, with the idea of winning st.. i,. EnFiO1a. the Belmont representative; Kentucky Beau backed down from an opening price or 20 to i, to 12 to 1; Old Honesty, the only 100 to 1 shot in the stake; Altuda, Oran, played by a few because Miller had the mount and last of all. Purslane' who opened at 50 to 1 and stayed there
 It was one of the best and most truly run Futuritfes horsemen who have fol- lowed the stake since It's inception have ever seen So well punched was the field throughout that a furlong from home any one of the fifteen had chance to win. But Electioneer was best. He never faltered for an instant under a gruelling drive which began at the head of the stretch and lasted until the finish line was crossed.
 Jockey Willie Shaw was in the saddle and never did a boy give a more skill ful exhibition of horsemanship. An old hand at the reins. he judged his pace and timed his winnig rush to the frac- tion of a second. He piled his whip without mercy through that last fateful sixteenth of a mile. and won a race which called forth thunder of cheers for both horse and rider.
 Electioneer was second choice at to 1. When the prices were placed up on the bookmakers' slates, 6 to 1 was chalked up against the Lakeland colt. In the mad rush of the favorite play CTS to place their wagers on the Keene entry, Electioneer was overlooked and

A Warning To Boys.

It is stated that out OF a total OF

inp Office in New Orleans during
the month of July only 20 were
found fit to enter the army. The
lieutenant in charge OF the office

He SAYS that out of the same
number of applicants in any of the

or in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky
the number of enlistments out OF
50 many applicants would have
been as high as 90 or SO.
The reason for such an unsatls-

Dear Sir: Our agent ought to

other tenth. The proportion OF
men. who wont take good advice,
and use the least gallon paint, is
about one in ten among even own
ers of houses and stores and shops
and barns and fences.
One man in ten will buy a gold
brick or green goods, if. he has
money and gets good chance.
Devoe at SITS a gallon is better
than gold: adulterated and short
measure paints are green goods
and gold bricks.
Devoe saves half, more or less, OF
the labor and wages of painting; it
is all paint; full strength and full
measure. There is no other snch
paint within ten per cent. Ten
per cent of labor and paint is worth
saving; and ten is the least. Ihere
