children of immigrants. Baron de

ing them what liberty would mean to
them and 10 their children's children.

sity Of having high ideals as citizens.

BETS $1,000 TO 81 ON
A TWO-HORSE RACE

NEW YORK Special.-When there
are only two horses in a race one of
them, barring accident, is certain 10
run second, isn't he? So the bet Clar-
ence Foote made with Harry Abra-
hanson at the Sheepshead Bay race
track yesterday is the more freakish
and remarkable.
Ballot and King James were to be
the only starters in the Advance
Stakes. Mr.. Foote, who started his
turf career two years ago with $500
capital and has run it up toS47,0 900 by
betting on odds-on favorites, went
among the memory brokers'-there
are no bookmakers nowadays-asking:
What are the odds that King
James does not run as good as sec
ond?"
If King James had dropped dead in
the race, or been hurt so badly he
could not finish IL, or been disquali-
fed for foul or for returning to the
scales short of the weight he was sup
posed to carry, there would have been
only one horse in the race in effect
so the brokers Knocked Foote-gave
MIN the merry ha-ha, to be slangy.
Not so Abrahamson, who takes life
and bets so seriously that he is known
familiarly as Gloomy Gus"
The odds are 1 to 1000" said Abb
rahamson to Foote.
III go you. I'll bet you $1,000 to
ST." returned Foote.
~ cure on" said the gloomy one
Ballot won, King James was second.
Mr.. Foote won 81.

on us" remarked one of the city IA
thers. Like many other members, this
of1clal voted for "a call of the house
when the Aldermen got together Tues
day afternoon, and subsequently, saw
the doors of the stuffy chamber closed
and bolted, and heard President John
Purroy Mitchell solemnly remark, as
he mopped his brow:
NO member Will be permitted to
leave the chamber until the business
before the board is disposed Of"
The business before the board
consisted of 169 ordinances of the cor
porate stock budget. An effort to
adopt all simultaneously by passing a
blanket resolution had failed, and
members with a penchant for flibus-
terlng had demanded rollcalls on each.
Mathematicians in the board had
after some difficulty, calculated that if
[ took ten minutes to call the roll
once, II would require 1896 minutes
TO call IT 169 times, or more than
twenty-eight hours. What with ora
tory. more oratory and then additional
oratory the board was threatened with
a two-days' session.
SiXty-one members were in their
seats when the first ordinance was
read. Five measures were disposed
OF IN an hour and a half. 1t was swell
terlnSly hot. Also il was dry. Va
rious city fathers disposed to look
upon beer when 1T is amber began
to murmur wouldn't it be advisable
to compromise >"
Others could be seen surreptitously
siding toward the side entrance doors.
They had suddenly remembered that
memD erS of their families were criti-
cally i'll, or that important business
engagements made it necessary for
them to get away. But all excuses
were in vain.

lice, the station officials and the Sc
cret service men. The newspaper re-
porters and photographers, who were
on hand early, got through the head
gates and down the platform of track
IL, where the Federal Express was
due 10 draw in. BY the time the
train arrived the police had thrown a
little Gordon about track Is gate SO
that the gathering of citizens. who
had an idea that the President would
come walking up through the train
shed like commuter from Neponset,
could not get by the head gate. The
Federal Express had ten cars of its
own train, with the Colonial bringing
up the rear. This left the Colonial
out beyond the trainshed when the
express came to a stop. The group OF
newspaper men clustered along the
side or the private car. Through the
window a form could be seen moving
AS through a glass darkly," but il
was not that Of the President. 1t was
some man of more youthful and slen-
der body, probably one of the secre-
taries or messengers. Not a glimpse
OF the President was caught by the
waiting throng.
