MAGHATES PUT BAN
ON TRACK PASSES
owners, Jockeys, and Train
erS Will Have to Pay
Admission.

NEW YORK. April 29.-Tne stopping
OF betting on race tracks has so dimin-
ished the revenue that the stewards
have just decided to curtan the compli-
mentary admission list to include only
a limited number of the members Of the
press. When the tracks open in the
metropolitan district this year club
members, owners. jockeys and trainers
viii have TO pay admission. It is also
ANNOUNCED that owners must provide all
stable hands with tickets which have
been purchased.
BY taking this action the Jockey Club
officials hope to materially increase the
revenues. Since the betting was pro-
hibitcd at the tracks there have been
frequent days when the free admissions
exceeded the paid. The tracks operated
at Q loss and by compelling the owners,
trainers, jockeys and club members TO
pay admission, and by decreasing the
size of the purses offered the stewards
expect to make a better showing the
coming season.

MAN SUPERIOR
TO PETTY FEELINGS
Never Keeps Grudge Against Op-

Doctors differ. and lawyers. too-even
clergymen can warm up in debate. but
the mark Of a real man-caIl him a
gentleman" II you choose-is his su-
perioT1ty to petty feeling. A real man
never takes away into his private life
a grudge against the man with whom
ne has combated I'm the open
The undiscerning onlooker stares like
an owl when he sees the two previously
sntasonistic legal lights" 20 off to
lunch arm in arm after the verdict.
The UDlooker had thought they were
so mad at each other they would mix up
in the corridor. but they never do-at
least, not gentlemen.
When doctors get together socially
they are just as nice as II they had
never discussed whether 1t was curva-
ture Of the spine or only stomach ache.
Ministers VIII heatedly discuss some
point in church policy. and when they
part remember no more In a personal
sense the words Of their opponents.
It's the little man who gets mad in
an argument and keeps mad. Some
times he goes home and nurses I'D a
fine old grudge, which is only buried
when it's buried with him in his coffin.
It's the eamark OF a proper gentleman

ORIGIN OF MENUS.

or the origin Of the menu this story
is told: Duke Henry Of Brunswick,
when sitting at a sumptuous feast, was
noticed to glance frequently at long
slip of paper Questioned by his neigh
Dor, the count OF Montfort, as to the
reason Of his table studies. re replied
that the master OF the kitchen" had
drawn up for his and his stomach s
benefit, list Of all the dishes, just to
enable his master to reserve hic appe-
tite Tor the best things 70 come. The
other guests were 50 wen pleased with
the intelligent cooks invention that the
habit Of writing out bills Of fare instant

whence the custom began is said to
have taken place at Regensburg in 154I.

The QUIET LIFE.

Happy the man whose wish and care
few paternal acres bound.
Content TO breathe his native air,
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk whose fields
with bread,
Whose hocks supply him with attire:
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter. IRE.
Biest. who can unconcern'd 'dly find
Hours. days, and years, slide soft
away
In health Of body, peace Of mind.
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep BY night: study and case
Together mix'd; sweet recreation,
And innocence. which most does please
With meditation.
Thus we live, unseen. unknown.
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where lie.

NEW YORK STOCKS HIGHER, WITH
STEEL COMMON AND READ
ING THE LEADERS.

NETWORK. April % pnl.-The stock
market today IS considerably stronger
and in better condition than for several
days. Steel common this morning made
a new high record for the present
movement. selling at So. Copper stocks
have given a good account of them
selves through the days trading. Read
ing has added more than point to
yesterdays top rise. other railroads are
higher or, at least. not lower. and the
situation this afternoon may be desig-
mated as decidedly hopeful for further
rise in prices.
The operations today are almost strip
ped of commission house buying. show
ing that the public has ceased for the
present 10 be interested in the market
There has been little for many days to
tempt the buyer OF stocks for rise.
es9d those who make such dealings are
&aturally keeping out Of sight. That
leaves the trading almost entirely OF
professional nature, narrow in volume,
and characterized by considerable ir-
regularity as to price, some stocks be-
ing relatively higher than others. and
many of them entirely neglected in the
trading.
Canadian Pacific has shown a good
degree of strength. rising 1A points
early and holding well in the assault
made upon II later by the holders who
sold for profits. This stock and others.
like Reading and Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit. disclosed considerable short cover
ing on the rise. which helped to put
prices still higher, until tn eshorts had
gotten their stock back.
One OF the notable features OF the
market today is the strength displayed
in the Morgan Issues. coupled with the
report that one OF the local banks yes
terday loaned $1,5000O0 to Mr.. Morgan.
This is interpreted by many IN Wall
Street &c mean a bull movement In the
stock market
About noon considerable pressure was
noticeable upon Union Pacific, and that
issue fell off to some extent This was
thought TO be a feint by the bears TO
start a break in prices. and support was
given to that issue by the bull interests,
and the price came gradually back TO
the former level The same tactics
were tried later with Southern Pacific,
with tue same result.
At this hour II may be fairly said
that bull sentiment Is in the ascendent,
end the expectation of most floor traders
Is that the market will experience an
upward swing lasting a few days longer
anc possibly the beginning of the sum-
mer bull movement which Is about due

ANOTHER RECORD
DROPS AT PINLICO
Statesman Lowers Bobby
Kean's Time for a Mile
and Sixty Yards.

BALTIMORE. April 29.-With the
prospects of good weather and a fast
track interest in the races at Pimlico
is on the increase. The attendance is
holding up almost to the top of the
opening day. The entries are large
every day, so large. in fact. tina. a
seventh race has TO be made to accom-
modate the overflow.
The track now Is getting into its best
shape, and It is likely that many new
records will be made.
With the going dead and far from first
rate a new record was made yesterday
for the mile and sixty yards. States
man doing the distance in LAS 1-5, beat
ing the old record of 1:46. made Monday
by Bobby Kean.
Billr Garth still goes sereneIy on can

He won Monday with Autumn Girl:
Tuesday with The Monk; and yesterday
with Busy a chunky bay colt by Ga
Iore-Busy Maid. At present. it looks
as If the Sage OF AlDermarle had some
thing on the rest of tho bunch when
It comes to the two-year-olds. Stewart
Difenderfer came very near pulling
off a good thing In this race. His colt
Racebrook, one OF the get Of Racine,
Jumped of in front and was not caught
until well down the stretch finishing
second TO Busy.
MIR. Clyde's string seems to be in ex-
ceIlent shape and can not be overlooked
in any race in which il makes an entry
QuanticO came hack yesterday and won
the second event, at o mile. from a big
field. Tasley started In this handicap
and although not placed, ran a great
race. Captain PresEraVe was confident
that If ne could have had the service
Of GOldstein Tasley might have won.
Pocomoke finished third in the fifth
race. evidently being q tTthe short.
About the next time he is out this one
The Baltimore public saw a bang-up
cross-country affair when Thistledale
beat Sir Wooster in the Patapsco
struggle through the field. These two
are perhaps the best Jumpers in train
ing today and they made a beautiful
contest. Thistledale old not jump as
cleanly as he might, but he had the
speed of the wind. He stumbled at the
water jump ard for moment Lynch
was climbing over lis neck. He got
back into the saddle all right, however
high and big, but he stuck to Thistle
dale ali the way and had the Colt crack
all out IN the stretcn-
1t is funny what notions clever horse
men will get into their heads. In the
fifth race Statesman looked like a / 10
10 shot, but somehow rumor was
afloat that he was sGce and stiff from
his race of Monday and many passed
him by and played old Juggler with rs
up to beat him. Statesman is a high
class three-year-old ami he simply made
shCw OF Juggler. It would be well
for the smart peIple to bear in mind
that Frank Gardner is no fool and that
he is not taxing any chances with a
valuable animal like Statesman. When
be starts him IL is good betting that he
is all right.
