The Constitution.

The first draft of the constitution
contained an enumeration of the states
by name after the word ''people"-as

Massachusetts, Virginia"-but it be-
came impossible to retain this form
after the. adoption Of the seventh and
last article, which provided that the
ratification by nine states should be
sufficient to establish the constitution
as between them. and for the plain
reason that it was impossible to de

ratify or. If they failed. which they
would be; or. IL nine should ratify,

Chicago exposition of 1893 they have
sprung up on every hand and with lit
tie or no demand for. them in most
cases While few, if any, of them have
paid expenses-haye been financial
failures-they have probably all con
tributed to the enlargement of trade
relations between sections and be
tween this and other countries.
Another exposition has just beer
announced to be held in Cincinnati in
1915. 1t is to celebrate the semi-cen
tennial of peace, and the scheme is
that each state, north and south, shall
erect building to show, with its con
tents, what has been accomplished
since the war. Also it is proposed
that a peace monument shall be erect

JOCKEY CLUBS NEW STEWARD.

Leonard Brassey. who has just been elected stew
ard of the Jockey Club. in the place of the new
Earl Of Derby, is, in spite of his relative youth
excellent choice. For since he came of age
he has devoted all his time and attention TO the
turf and has already served two or three terms
as steward. winning both good will and respect by
the sound sense and justice of his decisions. For
the three stewards of the Jockey Club constitute
triumvrate which wields autocratic power over
the entire English racing world and from whose
oecrees there ls no appeal He is the son-in-lew of
the present Duke of Richmond, the nephew of Lord
Brassey. and the and heir of the late Henry

TO STOP TRADES MARCH.
Property O5cners 4boUe 59th Street
Plan "C0urt of Honor"

movement has been started among property
owners north of 59th street. principally in Fifth
avenue, to prevent the march of trade above that
street by the construction of Court of Honor
connecting Central Park with the Blackwelrs ISL
and Bridge.
The construction OF avenue TO connect the
park systems Of the boroughs of Manhattan,
Queens and Brooklyn was recommended last year
by the New York City Improvement Commission.
The present scheme contempates not only the crea-
tion OF a magnificent boulevard. which would serve
formal entrance to the city. but also the use
OF considerable territory for the erection the
group plan of public and semi-public buildings
and the construction of underground thorough
fare extending from the Backwells Island Bridge
TO the entrance OF Central Park with moving side
walks. promenades, shops and salt water nata-
toriums.
Among the property owners active in the move
ment are George T. Nedlinger. former treasurer
Of the Municipal Ar: Society," and many members
Of the organization for whom Charles r. Lamb the
architect, ex-president of the society has put the
scheme into architectural form.
1t is hoped TO bring the project to a successful
issue through the cooperation of the city and the
property owners in the neighborhood TO be bene-
flied. While the block which the Hotel Neither
land stands is not of course. to considered it
is suggested that a beginning might be made by
taking the two blocks bounded by 18th and Goth
streets and Madison and Lexington avenues The
18th street side Of the square ii is urged, would
admirably adapt itself 10 hotels. restaurants and
shops, while on the SUN street SIDE could De erected

tion of the two blocks in question about 5000

in excess of that amount. s6,00.0OO, one-haf of
the cost condemning this property could well be
borne by the owners of property which would face
the Court of Honor" in consideration of the prob
ably enormous increase in the value of their hold
ings The rest Of the cost might be shared equally
by other property benefting by the i'm
provement and by the city, which would obtain for
81 10000 civic betternent the entire cost OF which,
