At the close of the Emeryyille racing season
Barney Schreiber, the Missouri breeder. who has
come to WELD an important influence in turf
analrs on the coast, will devote his energies to
the finding of purchasers for about $50 head OF
thoroughbreds that he has decided to put on the
market, which he will endeavor to dispose of
prior to the first of September. In order to ac-
complish this object Schreiber will put in the
summer travelling about from place TO place
where racing Is going on, with the idea that he

another dismal showing There was dispo-

The fairy tree is arranged by cutting
off the top of an ordinary-si evergreen
and by building thereon small solid plat
form, pedestal is formed upon which a
little girl prettily dressed can stand.
Around the little girl on the platform the
presents may be. laid. The child will
given.
For the frost tree, if an evergreen tree
is not easily obtained take any small
tree-an oak by preference. as 1t is pic
tureSque-and frost the branches.
This frost effect is best produced by
the use of thin white glue and coarse
fake mica. While the glue is soft scat
ter the mica upon it. Do not mix the
glue and mica, but put the glue on the
mica before the glue dries. In a bright
light this will produce very beautiful
effect
The umbrella device is. another substi-
tutc for the evergreen tree or a novelty
In place of it. Take large umbrella
a fancy-coored one. such is used for
advertising purposes, or Il large wagon

cord through the hole. Open the UNI
brella, being sure that the catch is firmly
fastened, suspended from the ceiling.
Decorate profuseIy with fancy-colored
tissue paper chains. popcorn and other
ornamentations usually used on trees.
BY the use of pin hooks. such as
are used by stationers in hanging pa
pers and magazines, the gifts can be
hung from the cloth and also from the
ribs of the umbrella. By liberal display
of decorations this can be made very
effective and beautiful, and the work of
preparing and clearing away will be found
to be much less than thattof tree.
