1t is expected that the new law will
result in the discontinuance of on,
or more of the great farms here as
breeding plant, and that the broad
acres. instead of being used for the
roaming of royalty bred horses, VIII
be devoted to farm pursuits.
NEW YORK. June 16.--Accordine
20 statements made by persons who
have made careful study OF the mat.
ter. the value of the property belong
ing to breeders, which includes realty
holdings. buildings and courses in this
and other states. has had value OF
375. 100000.
The property belonging to the va
rious racing associations within the
metropolitan limits is placed at nearly
$4,000, 900. although they are now taxed
only s2,400,000 In realty holdings. The
value of horses in training is placed
at 320,000.000.
A careful estimate places the amount
disbursed annually by racing stables
in the racing circuit for feed and
other products supplied by farmers at
100000. Residents OF the Sleeps
head Bay, Grnvesend and Brighton dis
tricts will lose s500,000 annual. 1t is
believed. that has been spent for the
maintenance of owners, trainers and
stable employees.
1t is estimated that there are $4,000
employees dependent for living upon
the 5000 breeding farms throughout
the country. This year there are 800
stables In training. and these employ
at least $4,000 persons. The local
racing association employs about 1000
men. and the caterers at the various
race courses employ ABOUT 500 more.
Added to this total, those who will
be deprived of a means of livelihood
will be about 5000 boolsmakers and
their employees.
Railroads will suffer an annual loss
of 100000 In fares that have been
paid by patrons OF racing, It is CON
servatively estimated This loss of
traffic will necessitate the withdrawal
from service of at least ten train
crews.
All these estimates do not take the
Saratoga race track or Saratoga itself
into consideration. That city is prac-
tically dependent upon racing for its
prosperity, and the loss to the district
will be heavy.

THE PART HE PREFERRED.
Subtle Meaning In Poets Criticism Of
Decoliete Costume.

Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sier-
ras, is something of a recluse and
rarely comes into San Francisco, but
when he does he is made a good deal
of lion. On his last visit he was
one of the guests at a rather formal
dinner at friends house where he
stayed overnight. His hostess had
known the poet since her childhood,
so she felt privileged, next morning, to
discourse to him of the beauties of
the Partisan gown she had worn the
night before-beauties which seemed
to have escaped his observation.
Mr.. Miller listened to all that she
had to say and remained silent.
But didn't you really like the
dress?" pleaded the lady.
WELL" replied the poet, 81 did like
part of 1t well enough"
The lady frightened.
'fIndeed?" she said "What part ?"
"The part you had on" answered
the poet; and that ended the discus
sion.-Lippincotts.

THAT must be left entirely with
Nadia for decision" he replied, so
berly.
There was a rustic at the inner
door, and Nadia stood there. Their
eyes met, and the color mounted
swiftly to the girls cheeks Then he
stepped resolutely forward. forgetful
of all other presence, and clasped her
hand in both his own. Neither spoke
word, yet each understood some
thing of what was in the heart OF the
other.
"Win you walk outside with me?"
he asked, at last. Il have much to
say which am sure you would rather
hear alone"
She bent her head, and with brief
word of explanation to the others, the
young officer conducted her forth into
the bright July sunshine. They walk

Bronzed by months of scouting on
those northern plains, a graver, older
look upon his face, and the bars Of
captain grazing the shoulders OF his
new cavalry jacket, Donald Brant
trotted down the stage road bordering
the Bear Water, his heart alternating
between hope and dread.
The familiar yellow house at the
crossroads appeared so unattractive
as to suggest the thought that Nadia
must have been inexpressibly lonely
during those months of waiting. He
knocked at the sun-warped door.
Without delay IL was flung open. and
vision of flushed face and snowy
drapery confronted him.

How very nice that he should happen
to arrive just at this time, isn't it?"

found a convenient chair, as Miss
Spencer nastened from the room to
announce his arrival

toned.
