NAPOLEON LOVED SINGING.
His Interest in instrumental Music
Chiefly Curiosity.

rIoM the DeutieWOHldu.
Napoleon has been described as almost
a music hater. A recent writer put him
at the very foot of the list of modern
rulers SO far as appreciation or even
liberation of music was concerned.
Now comes an English denial of the
SANDER. 1t is admitted that the musical
tastes of 1.-The Corsican OGRE were not
ing SO much that many a time after
a concert he ordered the vocalists to come
to the palace and sing before him and
the Empress Josephine.
curious anecdote is told of his
brusque manner of dealing with artists.
One night at a concert at the TuilerieS
while Dupont. the famous violoncellist,
was performing a solo, the emperor sud-
denly entered. His majesty nodded his
head apprOvingly and when the piece was
finished said to Duport:
that instrument so motionless?' and TAX
ing up the cello he tried to jam it be-
tween his spurred boots.
Poor Duport nearly tainted when he
saw his treasure treated like a war
horse. For several minutes he looked
on, trembling from head to foot. At last,
however, he darted forward and called
out ''Sir!" in such pathetic tones that the
emperor handed him back the instru-
ment
: Duport thereupon showed how the in
imperial master extended his shand to at
tempt to do 1t himself Duport threw him.
self back in alarm. till finally Josephine
whispered something to her husband, who
burst out laughing and put an end to the
cello lesson.

RACING POPULAR IN CANADA
Everything Points to Putting Sport
Across the Line on Per-
manent Basis.

TORONTO, Ontario, November Sta
tistics of the official racing year in Can
ada show that the sport here has attain
ed greater favor with both the public
and the horsemen than ever before. The
total amount distributed by the associa-
lions among owners was nearly $4,000
greater than last year, though there were
fewer actual racing days. There also
appeared a movement in favor of a Ca
madam Jockey Club, with view to put
ting the sport on a permanent basis.
J. E. Seagram heads the list of WIN
ming owners with pronounced lead
over his closest follower, who this year
turned out to be the American owner, A.
Turney. w. Shields was not far away
from Turney in stable earnings with
the Canadian-owned Valley Farm Stable
a close fourth. Only these stables earn
ed over $4,000. Mr.. Seagram's three
year-old colt Seismic heads the Cana
dian list Of winning horses.

CINCINNATI. November 7-Gradually,

had heretofore been only partly report

but the presidential total of that county
is still missing. Montgomery Dayton)
Is the other missing county. although
some scattering figures from that county
have been received.
On President. a total of All precincts
out of the 4 40 in Ohio report 526, 453
votes for Taft, against 466O03 for Bryan.
For governor, Montgomery county alone
being missing as whole, the reports
from 1926 precincts give Harmon, demo-
crat 5lS,622, against JO6. 1870 for Harris.
This would indicate the pluralities for
those two winning candidates close to the
figures given by the Associated Press be-
fore midnight on election night.
Nothing positive has been reported on
the minor state officers, and the complete
count may be necessary to decide the
winners, but SO far as reported the re-
publicans seem to be leading, the repub-
lican candidate for state treasurer being
the low man on the ticket.

CHICAGO, November 7.-Preparations

again will be the conditioning grounds
for the White Stockings. while the Cubs

These last dates are the best. because
the weather is warmer and the interest
in the opening of the season is then at
fever heat Murphy is counting on the
Cubs opening at home next spring. as 1t
has been the custom for the schedule
makers to give the local teams alternat-
ing years to open the season in Chicago.
President Comiskey has not closed any
dates yet I'm California. but he is plannin:
few changes from the route used last
season. Instead of hurrying the White
Sox through California in two weeks. they
will be given at least a month on the
coast. New Orleans may not be on the
list next spring. as it was this year, be-
cause of the bad weather and the UNI
favorable conditions encountered there.

the amount. All stories about there being

been practically signed after his last

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, November IA decis-
ion, reached today, by the officers Of the
Aerial Navigation Company, which pro-
poses to operate a line of airships between
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Washington, gives definite form to the
enterprise which millionaire Glidden re-
Gently outlined to the eastern public.
At today's meeting it was decided to
construct dirigible balloon after the
Count Zeppelin pattern capable of carry
ing seven passengers. with which alrship
the preliminary service will be begun.
The plan of the promoters is to have sta
tons, several in number, between Bos-
ton and New York, with a terminal at
each point.
Regular Service Planned.
After the service has proved to be sat
isfactory. and the wealthy hackers of the
scheme claim this is certain, the line will
be continued to Philadelphia and WASH
ington with intermediate stations. Reg
ular service is planned.
The dirigible decided upon today will
be $50 feet long. 1t will be equipped with
double motors capable of attaining a
speed of 80 to 40 miles an hour. 1t will
be similar to the United States govern
ment dirigible for 1909, which will be
built along the same lines and capacity.
+, A prominent authority on aeronautics
was present at today's meeting in the
person of Israel Ludlow, who was head
of aeronautics at the Jamestown EXPOSE
ton. He was in conference with the Off
GERS and, it is said, had much to do with
reaching a decision as to the choice OF
type of sky car.
Coast-to-Coast Races.
Mr.. Ludlow worked up considerable en-
thusiasm for the proposed coast-to-coast
balloon airship race, planned as feature
of the Alaska, Yukon and Pacific exhibit
zion that will be held In Seattle next
summer. Several Massachusetts, aero
nauts have announced their intention to
enter.
The race will be open to all classes of
airships and substantial prizes will be
offered. The balloon will try to reach
Boston from Seattle, the longest distance
ever attempted for aerial navigation.

CLOUD OVER FIFTH AVENUE.
Spectacle Tinctured Nowadays With
Gasoline Fumes.

From the New York Sun.
Walking on 9Th avenue when the street
is crowded with pedestrians and the road
way with carriages and automobiles is
entertaining enough in the way of pre-
sentng a spectacle. There always are
folks there who are good to look at.
But the pleasure is considerably alleged
by the fumes Of gasoline vapor
The air is charged with it to an UNI
pleasant degree. The automobiles have
constantly to stop when they reach the
crossings and the oil keeps on flowing
until the cars start up again. The result
is a belching cloud Of the smoke and
vapor that the park ordinance is directed
against. The atmosphere is a haze OF
unpleasant smelling vapor. That kills
the pleasure of an avenue promenade for
some people.

promoters of Philadelphia. Boston, Bal

permitted to be carried on are busily
engaged in making offers to the promi-

pear in contests at their clubs. They
seem to think that the game is killed
here on account of the order of Police
Commissioner Bingham to stop boxing
stays. and on that account they are
anxious to secure the topnotchers to box
for them. There is not a chance of
the sport being killed entirely. as all
the big clubs will procure injunctions,
which will enable them to carry on their
shows. Five or six Of the fy-by-night
clubs will probably go to the wall, but
