THE DESIGNS ON OUR COINS.

Somewhere In New York a "cele-
brated artist is bordering new de-
signs for the gold coinage Of the Unit
cd States 1t Is expected that the new
gold pieces Will appear within year
Wisely. that collectors may not be
too mich favored and that too many
whims OF authority may not be ex-
ercised II Is provided by law thar the
designs Of coins may not be changed
more than once in 25 years. The lat
est modification In our gold pieces
came In 1866, when the motto In
God We Trust" was placed above the
eagle. II ls generally admitted that
there Is room for artistic Improvement
In the coins. though the Goddess of
Liberty on the Current $40 piece is an
undoubted advance over the stout,
snub -nuscd lady who figured ON the
issues OF 1885 end 1897.
What was considered the handscm-
est OF all American gold coins is no
longer issued. II was the SO piece
which came from the minis in the per-
Tod OF 1S5f-s9 The reverse Of the
current $50 gold piece is much adj
mlred.
There has been a good deal more of
fuss and experiment at Washington
over changes OF coin designs than Of
actual result. As a consequence coll
lectors' stores have been greatly en-
rlched by the additions of patterns and
trial pieces. In 1Ss7. however, the
rule went out that all patterns must
be retained in government care,

cording to representatives OF the

nothing has been done Tor the famine

The camps OF the refugees near the
cities ave also Increasing In Size so
fast that the little food available can
barely keep the hungering hosts alive.
IN speaking Of his visit to one of these
camps william 4. Ellis, a newspaper
correspondent, writes: "a mother stood

FIELD TRIAL DOGS
DO TOO LITTLE
BIRDWORK
SPECIAL DIsPATcH TO rae cAIr,


BAKERSFIELD. Jan. 25.-The twen-
ty-fourth annual meet of the Pacific
Coast Field Trials Club is a thing OF
the past. Weather conditions during
the meet were fairly good, the attend
ance was large and every one seemed
pleased with the showing made.
For several years past it has been
noticed that the bird work by the dogs
has become less and less and the gen
eral opinion arrived at IS that the
dogs are trained principally for range
and speed. AS consequence a ruling
mas been made that at the trials next
year the dogs must do actual bird
work. The handlers must shoot 10
Kill and the birds must be retrieved. a
feature or the sport cast aside several
years ago. The only objection to the
new ruling comes from the handlers.
The attendance at the concluding
trials yesterday was large. Among
those who enjoyed the sport were Mr..
and Mrs W. s. Tevis, Temple Taylor.

ACCIDENT
MARS AUTO RACE

Jan 25.-Fred A. Marriott, while driv-
ing the cigar-shaped steam racer at a
rate Of two miles a minute In an effort
to break the worlds mile record. today
struck a slight ridge of hardened sand
in the beach. The force of the blow
lifted the front wheels of the racer
from the beach, rendered the steering
gear useless and pitched the car, after
fearful leap through space, on its
side. Fortunately the fuse plug blew
out of the boiler and allowed the
steam to escape, thus undoubtedly
saving the life Of the helpless Mar
riott, who lay unconscious across the
wreck Of the front wheels with the
debris of his splendid racer piled
about him. An examination showed
that no bones were broken. though the

looked upon him as a handicap horse
OF only fair caliber.
Borghesi's work in preparation for
the rAce has been most impressive, and
to the writer presages the running Of
high-class race, similar to that which
raised him so high in the estimation
of turfmen on Thanksgiving day. With
a good boy up he should be right
there at all stages of the race.
In spite OF the severe impost that
Logistilia has been asked to carry, the
writer believes that S. o. Hildreth will
pull down a part of the purse He will
have two strings to his bow with Logis-
tilla and Rapid Water running. The
latter horse met with several mishaps
in his last race and may be a more
important factor in the running today.
The writer is Of the opinion that DR..
Leggo is being asked to handle more
weight than Will prove TO his liking
that Proper, the mainstay of the Jen-
nings entry, is up against company
distance. and that Nealon is an over
rated horse. The others cannot be con-
ceded more than an outside chance.

the winner. $3.50 to the second horse,
and $3.50 to the third.

Hildreth should win II with the Keene
stable a keen contender. Comilfo, after
a good rest, will come up fresh and

the second, with Hersain. David Boland
and Golden Rule as the likely contend
ers.
Baker and Iras look best in the third,
with the chances favoring the former.
Hooligan may prove troublesome.
Tony Faust should experience no
trouble IN defeating the good company

Janice handicap at five and a half fur
longs. Ruby and Ocean Shore are the
likely contenders. Romaine would
probably be more dangerous had he
been out recently, as he may be in
need of the race.
Voladay looks an easy winner in the
final race of the day. He has already
won FIVE straight unextended and there
is no telling how good he may be. st.

is the contender. Fulletta will also

chances above those of any other horse
entered for the race. This conclusion
is based upon his performances on the
metropolitan turf last fall, his recent
races at Emeryvflle his impressive
work for the race, and last, but by no
means least, the fact that he VIII be
piloted by the cleverest jockey in the
world, Walter Miller, whose saddle
work was the sensation Of the year
in the turf world II is probable that
Nealon Is ht to run the race Of his
career, although spme OF the experts
would lil1e him better with a little
more work under his belt.
The Hildreth entry, the Jennings en-
try and DR.. Beggo viii all have large
following in the betting. Borghesi also
viii come in for loyal backing by many
who believe that with q dry track the
son OF Brutus win run back 10 his SEN
sational victory In the Thanksgiving g
handicap. Sir Edward viii not be
friendless, in spite OF the general be-
lief that the route win prove too far
for this consistent son Of Eddie Jones.
Ramus will also attract some support,
in view OF his good races in the past
two months. LisarO viii receive only
scattering support, as fl is the general
conviction that he cannot 90 the dis
tance. Kercheval comes from Los Ange-
les as a hot tip candidate, and the lay
ers OF odds viii exercise some caution
In taking wagers on him, as II is re-
ported that he has been kept under
cover with the Burns IN view. He looks
good, but il is doubtful If he cuts
much figure. Princess Titania, Dusty
Miller and Corrigan VIII probably be
the extreme outsiders, as none OF them
is considered to any extent.
SIR EDWARD IN FINE FETTLE
The writer has selected Sir Edward
to win the Burns because he believes
that this consistent performer has the
necessary speed and stamina The
handicapper has let Sir Edward in very

the theory that a mile and a quarter
