HOLLY BUILDS RAILROADS.

When in Denver recently news
paper man remarked to us, "What
is all this bosh about building rail-
roads in your country? Why, more
than 10000 miles of railroads have
been talked in the past few years
in Colorado, but none have been
built" Holly builds railroads; it
does not end in talk here. Therein
has Holly the distintion of being
the exception to the rule.

Marshall Field, the merchant
prince of Chicago, who died lately

He did not think the newspaper

tising.

RADTKE OUT.RODE
MILLER THE GREAT

Jockey Radtke made Walter Miller. his
rival for saddle honors, look like the
proverbal small coin in the fourth race
at Saratoga yesterday afternoon He had
the mount on Entree. while Miller had the
leg up on Yorkshire Lad. The latter was
much the better today and should have
won. but Miller rode his horse carelessly
and was beaten out by head by Radtke
in a whirlwind finish.
1t was the fourth time this season that
Radtke has landed the second best horse
in a race the winner when Miller rode in
opposition 10 him. This race proved clear
ly that with anything like equal mounts
Radtke is superior 10 Miller in riding a
finish where quick judgment is necessary
10 decide the issue.
Miller lost a winning advantage on the
first turn and the bend into the stretch
by going wide. At the two places York
shire Lad lost fully six lengths. As En-
tree only won the race by the margin
OF four inches. it can easily be judged
that Miller lost the race by his indif-
ference regarding the ground his horse
travelled.
Only three horses made up the field,
Entree. Yorkshire Lad and Sailor Boy.

ture match OF the afternoon. and al
though Miss Sears and partner lost the
first set they took the next two with
ease. Miss sutton was an interesting
spectator OF this match. and commented
