Gabrielle repeated this speech as
we sat around our fire that night and
watched the waves break against the
rocks, sending up little fountains of
foam that sparkled in the moonlight.
Her hands were clasped about her
knees. and her hair glistened here

"Of course" said Lord Wilfrid. "one
could not expect the lower classes to
understand the subtle fascination Of
an evening like this"
"Wilfrid knows so little OF the lower
classes" interposed Lady Edith; ;
wouldn't 1t be better, dear. to give
them the benefit OF doubt? They
may enjoy the beauties OF nature in
their own way, you know, although it
is. Of course, quite different from

1t was a very innocent little speech.
laughingly uttered, yet Lord Wilfrid' S
face darkened disagreeably and he
pulled his cap down over his eyes in
a manner distinctly irritable. Evil

ever slight. and l wondered whether
this was the effect OF his illness or his
natural disposition. His sister looked
at him moment, then turned to Eliza
beth with a perfunctory remark about
the beauty Of the night She never
noticed his sulky moods, although
they occurred quite often, and was al
ways ready to respond with smile or
a cheerful word when he deigned to
be pleasant again.
Elizabeth laid her hand on Lady
Edith's with a caressing gesture. She
said afterward that she was glad she
had done it, for at the moment she
quite hated Lord Wilfrid and knew
from the way his sisters hand clasped
hers that she needed sympathy.
They sat together upon large fat
rock with their backs against a
higher boulder. while Mr.. Blake and

AMERICAN HORSES ABROAD.
English and Colonial Stock Have
Preference in Argument.

preference In Argument.
A new argument against the American
thoroughbred horses which have been
freely exported to England in the past
few months Is engaging the attention Of
English breeders and turfmen. as sue
cessor to the dormant plan to tax Amer
lean horses sent to England through a
special fee for registration. The latest
objection to the American horses is re-
garding the doubtful points in most old
pedigrees of American stock. and as q
matter of policy the more conservative
from all question Of turf performance.
breeders should give preference to their
native stock, and to the horses returned
to England from the colonies. over the
American horses. It is admitted that even
the best of the English strains trace back
to sources of which nothing is known.
but the blots on English pedigrees occur
more than a hundred years farther back
than the doubtful points in American
pedigrees, and the proofs Of the hundred
years are preferred to the comparatively
igrees run out.
For the same reason the colonial horses
have precedence over the Americans. on
the ground that they were bred by Eng
lishmen. who followed closely on English
blood lines, thus removing the chance Of
doubtful ancestry. or the trial OF Ameri-
can horses on the English turf. the Eng
lish breeders contend that though the
Americans have been winners. the Ameri-
lean stock generally lacks staying powers.
In comparison of the quality of the
English colonial and American stations

OFFICIALS FOR THE

Quoted by one of the classiest and most
experienced corps of officials who have
ever acted in any set of games held in
the south, making it certain that the
races and other events will be run Off
without any long waits. The manage
ment has arranged schedule which calls
for the completion of the program at IL
O'clock and the officials have been chosen
with that end in view.
Heading the list as honorary referee Is
James E. Sullivan. who is serving his
third term as president of the Amateur
Athletic Union, and who was appointed by
President Roosevelt as American commits
sioner to the London Olympic games last
July. This will be Mr.. Sullivan'S first
appearance in such capacity In indoor

champion and manager Of the Pennsyl-

successive year as active referee. MIR.
Orion has a reputation for keeping things

"DAN" KELLY HAS
QUIT CINDER PATH

NEW YORK, January 4.-"Dan" Kelly,
holder of the accepted worlds amateur
sprinting record of 8 3-5 seconds for the
1OO-yard dash, has retired from the Gin
der path. He wrote recently to his uncle,
a New Yorker, that he had come to the
decision because of his desire to get well
established in business. He is now TWEEN
ty-five years old, and says he has devoted
enough time to the sport. Kelly has gone
into the automobile business with his
father.
No record was more disputed probably
than that which Kelly made in competition
out on the Pacific coast. The athletic
powers in the east refused to be convinced
of the performance until they had re-
ceived reams of affidavits from all the Of
ficials, timers and surveyors, who meas
ured the track. The mark Is now on the
Amateur Athletic Union table. and is
generally accepted in the athletic world.
