Isnecial to The sentinel.1

| Especial to The Sentinel.
| Saratoga, Springs, N. ", July 30.
Although the bookmakers, touts,
dopesters and professional sports,
who in former years have flOcked to
the Spa during the annual race meet
ing, are conspicuous by their absence,
it appears likely that the attendance
1T the meet opening this afternoon
will be almost up to the standard of
past years. There has been the GUS
tomaIy influx of wealthy and we'll
tO-dO followers of the sport of kings,
but il remains to be seen whether
| their patronage will be sufficient to
| reimburse the association for the loss
| of the betting crowd. Upon the at
tendance depends the enthusiasm of
the meet beyond the eleven racing
days now scheduled.
All the stakes that were left open
| until last May have been declared off
but seven which CLOSED before that
| date will be run off at their full
value, and the reopening under new
conditions of four of the stakes that
| have been declared oil will give q
total of eleven stakes to be decided.
or one for each day of the meeting
The average value of the overnight
tpurses will be $3.50.
| 1t is the general opinion among
horsemen that the Saratoga assoc
iation has shown itself as liberal as
could be expected, for though the
profits of the meeting have increased
steadily in recent years, Saratoga
never had the Advantage of a metro
politan crowd to draw on, and its
margin of reserve strength has been
proportionately small. The prompti-
| la oh hu ho Mt iy,
forming horsemen just what they are
to expect seems every reason to be-
lieve that the stakes for which snomi-
nations now are invited will be pa
tronized literally.
The curtailment of the meeting by
bringing it to a close on August IL
is due, of course, to the desire to
avoid conflicting with the Empire
City meeting. In the original allot-
ment of dates by the Jockey Club
Saratoga was scheduled to run from
judy 80 to August %, while the EN-
pire City opened on August IL and
continued until August 2S. The
statement that the Saratoga meeting
may be prolonged "if suitable ar
lrangements can be made" was taken
last week to signify that the Empire
City association might be asked to
give up a few days to the Upstate
association; but as Empire City franz
ed its list of stakes many weeks ago
and already has announced they will
be run off in full it is hard to see
how the Yonkers management can
change its program at this date. II
is more probable that the Saratoga
association simply wants to wait and
see how it fares in the matter of al
tendance before pledging itself to
give a meeting of more than eleven
days

GAS PIPE THUGS TO HANG.
Especial to The sentinel.l

San Francisco, July 3O.-Confined
in gloomy cell in San Quentin pen
itentiary, John Slemsen and Louis
Dabner, the gas pipe thugs who in
augurated a vertable reign of terror
in San Francisco during the months
of August and September. 1906, are
awaiting the expiation of their crimes
on the scaffold tomorrow. The SEN
tence of death. passed over eighteen
months ago, has been affirmed by
the supreme court and It is unlikely
that there will be any interference
with tomorrow's double hanging.
Both of the gaspipe assassins, al
though the most ruthless thuss that
ever .terrorized a city, have now be-
come prematurely aged and broken.
Siemsen has prepared a statement in
which he asserts that he was wrong
fully accused by Dabner to shield a
brother, and that Bischoff, the star
witness against him at the trial, was
guilty of many perjuries.

The lace considered most admir-
able for coats is the Irish croquet
lace, and for hard wear there are
varieties of lace that look very like
real Irish crochet.
In Paris, cluny lace is much used
and the rage for dyed lace is still un
bated. They are usually lined with
satin or silk of precisely the same
color as the lace.
