Horses showing Good Form.

The many harness horses which have been wintered at the Selma Driving Park. this winter are now being put through their paces in earnest The mild winter has given the trainers of all of the stables which have wintered here good opportunity to work their trotters and pacers, and they are all in first-class condition.
 The finishing touches are now being put to this training, as all of the sta- bles will leave here for the North in about a month. While all of the horses are being worked every day, twice a week they are speeded more than on other days and some of them are making record time. The trainers are greatly pleased with the condition in which their stables are and no doubt the most of the horses which have been trained here during the past win ter will prove bread winners during the cooming summer campaign.

GAME OF THE FUTURE.
Why Lasker Believes Chess Will Be-
come the Universal Pastirne.

Emanuel LaSker, chess champion OF
the world, contributes an article to
the September number of the North
American Review entitled 1.-The Game
of the Future" in which he describes
the game of chess and points out the
features in it which, in his judgment
are bound to make it eventually the
universal pastime.. We quote:
"A beginner in chess moves without
purpose. He is guided by chance
only. After many trials he learns
that it is profitable to capture opposing
men and detrimental to lose his own,
since the men represent so many re-
sources for effecting the checkmate.
Thus an appreciation of the first
strategic law, that superiority of force
is an advantage, is slowly evolved in
him, but at the outset in a very i'm
perfect state. Yet, such as he knows
it, it serves the very useful purpose
of surprising him by its failures to APP
ply. He is thus led to think, and he
finally comprehends that it is not the
number of men that decides the issue.
but the activity which they display in
the fighting. He sees that greater ac-
tivity usually goes with the greater
numb Der. but that it denends on. other
