This tract is splendidly adapted for
park purposes, and st would take but
d very small expenditure to put It IN
condition. About fifty magnificent oak
trees. nearly a century old, add to the
natural beauty or the proposed park.
Some months ago several Philadelphia
capitalists. it is stated, made an Orfer

the intention OF improving 1t BY the
erection 100 modern brick houses. but
when the owners discovered their inten-
ton. their OFFER was refused. Experts

w. X. Vanderbilt's French racing
stables at st. Louis de Poissy, eight
cen miles northwest of Paris, are Il
very good specimen of up-to-date
racing establishment, conducted on
purely business lines, in combination
with millionaire's country resi-
dence.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has been racing In
France for about ten years, but he
did not figure very prominently until
the last two or three seasons; and,
after paying visit to the place he
has founded and steadily developed
near Poissy, 1t is easy to trace the
cause of this success, says the New
York Times. Everything Is of the
best, but there is no waste. The es-
tate reminds one of IA piece of ma
chinery with all its working parts
well CREASED and its metal fittings
free from the slightest speck of rust
or dirt.
The property covers about 10
acres, and is in the middle of wide
plain through which the Seine flows
toward ROuen and the sea. with
the exception of the outhouses and
quarters for the jockeys and stable
hands, the training quarters are all
contained in one large quadrangle,
about 100 yards long by forty yards
wide, whitewashed and tile rooted.
One end and the side nearest the en-
trance contain the boxes or stables,
one FOR each horse in training, the
forage store, shOeing forge, motive
power and machinery At the other
end Is the house occupied by William
Duke, the trainer. The other side of
the quadrangle Is occupied by the
saddle rooms and the stores. Back
OF this block of buildings is the race
track, with the space inside divided
INTO paddOcks, and close to the out
! side of the upper bend are Mr.. Van
derbilt's private house and grounds.
The house, which was not COM
rleted until last summer, is a fine
three-story building in the Queen
Anne style, with sharply pitched
brown tile roof. The grounds are
laid out very simply with turf, a few
young trees and flower beds. Here
Mr. Vanderbilt passes good part of
| the summer, constantly watching the
work OF his horses and Thoroughly
enjoying the quiet and seclusion of
! the place.
There are usually about fifty horses
In training, the total extent of the ac,

Hans Froclccher will wrestle any
one in the Islands, as | have stated
before. and If this Japanese wants
TO come through with any kind of a
proposition whatever, will imme-

This Is the substance of an inter-

aging the big Swiss. He seems to
be dead in earnest about getting a
match. and, as guarantee of good
faith, is willing to put up the rocks.
He also said that he intended pull

fellow named Rhenicke. The two
'bantams are about the same weight,
and. IL they would mix it, they should
be able to get some lively going.
However, there won't be anything
doing in the wrestling line for some
time yet, for Froelecher says he
wants to go out in the country and
get back in condition before n match.
He looks to he in pretty fair trim
at the present time, being big, tari
fellow. with strength written all
over him. He has not wrestled in
any important matches, though, for
ever two years. and consequently is
not in the pink Of condition. Pres
tige laughs when the idea of boxing
with Froelecher is preached to him.
He has not been in the game for over
twelve years. Hans is training cv-
cry day with the huskies of the Ho-
Lolulu Fire Department in their gym

Concerning the boxing matches
