FAMOUS DEAD HEATS.
Those Between More Than Two
Horses Not Frequent.

FROM Ba1ly's Magazine.
Dead heats on the fiat do not occur
with such frequency as they did. AS it
is. we get quite enough Of dead heats Of
two" but there is a spice of romance
about a dead heat of three
At York in 1896 for the Badminton
plate three horses passed the post locked
together. They were MESSIAH, Bajardo
and Case Con, ridden respectively by NJ
Cannon. T. Loates and S. Loates. A third
Loates was fourth on Hamptondale, and
he was beaten only a short head by the
leading trio.
In 1880 at the Lewes summer meeting
Scobell, Wandering Nun and Mazurka
Only a head behind the struggling trio
came Thora and Cumberland, also run
ming dead heat. and placed fourth by
the Judge. Some good judges who saw
the race declare that if it had been called
"a dead heat Of five no one would have
caviled at the official verdict.
In 1916. on the Thursday of the New
market Houghton meeting. two dead
heats of three occurred in the same aft
ernoon.
In 1882 there was a dead heat of three
in field Of five for the race called the
Sandown Derby, but afterward known as
the Electric stakes. run over the straight
five-furlong course at Sandown Park The
Or. WyatD. P. Lorillard's Gerald (F
Webb and the Duke OF Hamiltons Leo
nora q. Watts). In the runoff Marden
who in the meantime had had his plates
removed and ran unshod. won by three
lengths. head only separating second
and third.
The most notable dead heat Of three
was the finish fer the Cesarewitch in 1857
between Ell Hakim. Prioress ian American
entry and Queen Bess. There were
thirtyfour runners, and the starting pr ces
of the dead heaters were to Ell Hakim,
30 to 1 Prioress and Queen Bess
In the decider. which was run off in the
waning light. George Fordham was SUBJ
stituted for Tankesley on Prioress and
Bray for Little on Ell Hakim. The change
of jockeys appears to have worked to
some advantage in the case of the Amer
lean mare. for she won the decider by a
length and a half, head separating the
other two.
Once there was dead heat of four at
Newmarket in sweepstakes for two
year-olds, run over the first half of the
Abingdon mile. This was at the Hough-
ton ms citing in 1855. Five started, and the
race resulted in a dead heat OF four. the
fifth horse being only beaten half a length.
The decider was won by head. half a
length separating second and third. Tiny
Wells rode the winner, the original ia
vorite. chestnut filly called Overreach.

Get Out of Doors.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record
Trudeaus classic experiment points Us
in the right direction. After inoculating
a number of rabbits with tuberculosis he
confined number of them indoors and
turned the others outdoors. The latter all
recovered, while the former all died.
This experiment shows that a rabbit
living upon its natural food and under q
natural environment is proof against
tuberculosis. There is abundant reason
to believe this equally true of man.
In other words, tuberculosis is not a
necessary evil of human life, but Is nat
ural consequence of erroneous habits and
departure from natural conditions. Man
is naturally an outdoor animal. A mole
lives a healthy life in burrow. A man
must live in the fresh air and the SUM

JAPAN MUSHROOM GROWING
Attention Paid to the Preparation of
the SoiI--The Main
Crop.

The Japanese have an interesting
method of growing a kind Of mush-
room known as tho wood mushroom.
agaricus shitake.
This species. which is much priced
as a food In Japan, is related to the
aaealled honey fungus. a species very
destructive to the roots of trees and
woody plants This latter species, 1t
may be noted, is ore of the causes of
phosphorescence in decaying wood
The Japanese method of growing
their mushroom seems to consist en-
tirely in preparing the ground for it.
\ coppice of red oak. beech or chest
nut of some twenty years growth is
cut down just after the fall of the
leaf. The wood is then left lying for
100 days. II is then cut into lengths
Of three or four feet and the logs are
lacerated with large pruning knives
Spores settle on the wounded parts
and the mycelium of the fungus
spreads through the tissues Of the

Next year crop of mushrooms
springs up. The production of musll
rooms may go on for SIX years, but
the main crop is gathered the second
year. The attempt is now being made
to cultivate the wood mushroom in
