THoRoUGHBREp RAcING.

The action Of the State Racing Commission
in refusing a license 10 the Empire City Trotting
Club 10 hold running race meeting al its track
near Yonkers was the chief subject Of converse
ton among racing folk last week The opinion
seemed 10 be more or less general that the rea-
sons advanced by the commission for DENYING
the application were not entirely fair or sound.
It looks as if the question should resolve itself
into whether the track is or is not properly
equipped for racing and not rest on the fact that
there are not enough racing days in the season
70 go round or on the general assumption that
a proper case had not been made out why a
license should be granted. The legal battle
which is now promised may do more harm TO
the sport than dozen meetings at Yonkers,
granted that the commission is right in its find
fngs. Any friction at this time, when the enc
mics Of racing are doing their best 10 kill the
sport, is 10 be deplored by those who are inter-
ested IN the welfare Of the turf The State
Racing Commission is undoubtedly working
with the good Of the turf as its single purpose,
but it seem. 10 be a grave question If its ruling
would be sustained in q court OF equity If
there is no room in the circuit for the Empire
City track, and there does not appear TO be, the
various associations should club together and
buy the property and thus remove for all time
thorn in the flesh Of the sport
- LDuNDu exchange says lIlal racing interests
tn England are much wrought up over the pro-
posed Parliamentary programme. although no
organized movement has yet grown up to combat
the moves OF the reformers. Lord Durham has
been suggested as the man 10 take up the ban
ner Of the turf interests and gather them to-
gether in opposition, since the very life of the
turf is threatened Speaking at the annual
meeting Of the Wearside Golf Club recently
Lord Durham said he thought that politicians
like cobblers, should stick TO their last There
was no objection 10 politicians playing golf or
10 golfers taking part 81 politics. but there were
objections 10 politicians interfering with the af-
fairs Of golf clubs. The right people TO manage
the latter were those who played the game He
objected 20 interference with the spots Of the
people. In football or in any other sport the
people who were watching were coca sionally in
clineo 10 have wager on the result and he saw
no great crime in IL. either though he seldom
bet himself The fact that there were some peo-
pie who were fools enough not 10 be able TO take
care OF their money was no reason why certain
politicians should wish 70 interfere with the
sport Of the majority. He hoped that whatever
sport they might prefer. they would remember
that they must try 10 maintain a good standard
and high standard, and he thought il was of
paramount Importance that those who were in
terested in the sports should not be interfered
with by Parliamentary faddists who know very
little Of the subject and who want to interfere
with a mans enjoyment IN order TO stop some
FOOLISH people from losing their money.

While employed in making repairs
on the telephone lipe at the head OF
the bay Friday, Guy Crebbassa had
the misfortune TO fall from tree
upon which he was at work. Mr.
Crebassa was engaged in cutting
away the branches, which would in
terfere with the wires, when with
out warning the limb upon which he
was standing gave away, precipi-
tating him to the ground, a distance
OF several feet. However, his injur-
les we're OF minor nature.
The Labor Day party given 10 the
Opera House Monday evening. under
the auspices of the Harmony Club OF
Baraga, was one of the most sue
cessful events of the season. A large
crowd was in attendance and the
music furnished by Hugo's Orches-
ira was pronounced of excellent
quality. The new piano which the
club has installed in the hall was
used at this time and gave splendid
satisfaction. The members of the
Harmony Club received such good
encouragement in their efforts that
they state that they will follow soon
with number of such functions
during the next few months.

Public Gifts for Beauty.

Everett H. Barney, millionaire Of
Springfield, Mass, has just decided an
estate and fortune to the city as
the beginning of scheme of local
Identification. The plans include a
boulevard and park system to extend
two miles along the Connecticut river.
Cooperation is called for on the part
of the municipality and by the New
York, New Haven G. Hartford railroad.
Mr. Barney's act and William p.
Letchworth's splendid gift of park
reservation to the state of New York,
recorded thus early in 1907, seem to
promise a rare turn to the benefac-
tons of the year. 1t has been charg-
ed that our rich men show no mag
nation, but only method in their Civ
ing; that they follow routine though
extremely useful lines of philanthro-
ply in endowing colleges, libraries and
churches. If they are to pay good
deal of attention hereafter to the
promotion Of cities beautiful and to
the preservation of natures own art
galleries, this point of criticism will
have to be abandoned.

YANKEE INGENUITY NOT DEAD.
Ample Proof of Its Possession In State
Of Connecticut.

William G. Ward, u merchant, re-
Gently had a stove, in which coal
fire was burning, moved with ether
goods from his old home, on Platt's
Hill, to his present apartment. He
did not want the trouble of making q
new fire, thereby further exemplifying
his Yankee ingenuity. While driving
through North Hartland, farming
village 13 miles distant from here, he
stopped at the home of e. j. Barnes
to get warm. He said he sold pianos,
and Mr.. Barnes became interested.
Finally Mr.. Barnes said he wanted to
hear the tone OF the instrument before
he made bargain. Stepping to the
telephone, Ward called up his store
here, had $3.50 instrument rolled up
close to the telephone transmitter and
then ordered a saleswoman, Miss Eliz-
abeth Harnett, to play few selec-
tons, which she did. The music over
the wire enthralleld the family, the
deal was closed and the piano was
shipped to the Barnes fa' n.-Winsted

RiGHT-HANDEp - LEFT-LEGGED.
Popularity Of Humanity That Is Not
Generally Considered.

Most people would think that as
man is, with very few exceptions,
''right-handed," he would be at the
same time "right-legged." But this is
not the case. Almost every right
handed man uses his left leg more
than his right. For instance, most
people find it much more natural to
60 round circles to the right than to
the left. That Is because they start
with the left leg. Being stronger, it is
more readily brought into action, and
It is on this account that bodies of
soldiery always start to march with
the left foot. Almost all courses for
foot races are made out for running
to the right, and dancers will indorse
the statement that the majority Of
movements are far more easily exc
cuted in this direction. The left foot
is the one that is placed in the stir
rup for mounting horse, and in
jumping, it is from the left foot that
the athlete takes Off" Thus it will
be seen that, as a general rule, right.
handed" people are ''left-legged."

LEFT BIG MAN THINKING,
Visitors Remark Tended to Reduce
"Sweiled Head"

There are men in high positions in
New York who are credit to them
only in their business ability. One OF
that sort came to the city a dozen
or more years ago from western
town, where ho made his start. A
gentlemen who had known him In his
less pretentious days called on him re-
Gently. Il simply called to pay my re-
spects," he said, going a little lame at
the reception he received. Il have no
axes to grind and no favors to ask.
You may have forgotten me, but l met
you several times on business visits to
your old town, and l thought I'd like
to see how you we're taking to the
metropolis" Yes, yes" responded
the man at the desk, picking up pa
per, as IL he we're very busy, and
speaking in the tone of. the person
who sizes up other people on their
material possibilities. And that's all
he said. The visitor shook himself and
got fresh hold. Yes" he said, turn
ing to go, Il called to pay my respects,
but l discovered that l don't owe any.
Good-morning." Then he walked out,
and the big man had more uncom-
Portable feeling than had come to him
since he had been in the big city.-N.

We're All Leather Eatera.

And then" said the Arctic explor-
er, Il ate my leather belt" Pooh!
What of that? Every mothers son Of
us eats pair of shoes a year" The
explorer frowned. This" he began,

interrupted him. II am not testing,
sir. / speak the solemn truth. What
is leather? Is 1t not albumen and
tannin? Well, when you add milk to
your tea or coffee the tannin Of the
one and the albumen OF the other
unite, and leather results. The leath-

less 1t is there. And down II goes.

NOT JUsr AT TAAr TIMs.
Editor Thought He Could Get Along
Without Article.

The story is told OF a writer who,
through boldness in attacking the es-
tablished order Of things, had consld-
cradle vogue for short time. In the
midst of his notoriety he decided that
he would contribute to a certain we'll.
known magazine, in whose pages he
had not yet been represented. He
waited on the editor, and found him
immersed in some hurried writing.
"Ah, Mr.. Blank" said the author, with
that immunity from modesty which
distinguished him, you want an arti-
Gle from me-" 'Indeed?" queried the
editor, going on with his writing.
"1ndeod" "One article to begin with"
pursued the author. And l am will
ing to do 1t for you in spite of much
work" "lndeed?" said the editor as
before. IL should say" followed UP

sent his check for $12223 to the state
comptroller in payment of taxes on
land he owns in the Adirondacks. The
routine of checking up his obligation
brought to light the fact that Mr.
Morgan only owed $12222.' The comp

and the latter sent Mr.. Morgan let

as Mr.. Morgan replies the state treas
urer will send him check five inches
long by two inches deep for the sum
OF one cent.

Owes His Life to Umbrella.

During the Franco-German war a
man owed his life to an umbrella.
He was so obviously a foreigner that
the French arrested him as a German
spy. He swore that he was English,
but was disbelieved. A drumhead
court-martial sentenced him to in
slant execution. AS they led him
away he insisted on returning, as he
had left something. He could not re
turn, they told him; he was now 60
ing to be shot. But he must go
back, he declared What had he
left? they asked. my umbrella" he
said. They were instantly convinced
that no one but an Englishman could
be SO helpless an idiot. He was at
once liberated.

Eouaht Bears with Axes.

Two woodchoppers, armed with
axes, had a battle with huge black
bear and four partially grown cubs
on Mt. Pico, says a Rutland (Vt)
correspondent of the New York
Times They killed two cubs, but the
mother and other cubs got away.
Luther Weeks and his son Clinton
felled a large tree and it crashed down
into clump Of bushes. Angry growls
followed, and the four bears, who had
been alternating under the bushes,
made for the men. The men fought
and won. The cubs that were killed
weighed 100 pounds each. The men
declare the old bear was fully eight
feet long and would weigh about soc
