a splendid opportunity to the
business men of Richmond to come

OF their customers, and undoubt-

A STRANGE SPORTING HOBBY.
Men Who Make Collection of
Hairs From Race Horses Tails.

from the London Standard.
There was a somewhat unpleasant In
cident at the Yarmouth race meeting
caused by a curious hobby which is
growing increasingly popular among low
ed out with its heels, and a man who was
behind it narrowly escaped serious in
jury.
The trainer spoke to the man angrI1y
and when asked to explain the incident
the trainer said that the man had been
trying to pull hairs from the horses
tail He added that many people made
collections of the hairs from famous
horses. Ordinarily they wrote to the
owner or trainer for them. but there were
certain number of men who tried to
make a few shillngs by plucking them
from the horses at different meetings
II appears that there many such
collections and one of them recently
changed hands for 20 guneas- Such a
price is above the average, but this col
lection contained sixty hairs, three from
each of the tails OF twenty winners Of
classic races. among them being Galopin,
Ormonde Flying Fox. Scepter, Ard Pat
rick. Rock Sand, Pretty Polly and Spear
mint, the genuineness being vouched for
by letters from the various owners and
trainers.
Such letters are usually demanded by
sJortsmen who make these strange col
Iections. but there is at least one expert
who processes to be able to Recognize the
hairs from any famous horse by sight or
touch. He says that. apart from their
color, they are recognizable by the varia-
| tions in their strength. thickness and
elasticity.

While it is misleading to say that the
municipal business is just like other
making ordinarily should be lacking and
efficient service should be the one thing
considered. it Is true that the problems
are chiefly business problems in large
sense. Therefore the desire for small
executive body. so as to secure the ad-
vantages Of private corporate manage
ment to our cities. has prompted the
council form Of government to the COM
mission form Of government. which also
makes 1t easier to place responsibility.
Over a hundred United States cities have
adopted it, and twice as many are now
considering it, At the same time the

of the community and not the form or
machinery of government which is the
all-important thing. Good government
can be had under bad forms and bad

Nearly all suburban characteristics have
disappeared from the section at the for

A few steps beyond this line Of closely

which was built only four years ago. and

northern limit not only of the new ex-

what was true of the material develop

is not true today. SO rapid has been the

City Advancing Rapidly.

The city is now advancing rapidly be-
yond Decatur street and on the east side
of 14th street several residences have
been built in the squares adjacent to Tay-
Tor street, or eleven blocks north of Park
road. Beyond this point lies the ravine
of Piney branch. and while the waters of
that stream are carried along in great
cement conduit. the valley through which
it passed is still there with its precipitous
and wooded sides

ever the building has been resumed at
stand several frame houses built perhaps
a year or two ago, but even so a rather
remote time in the rapid development

were overtaken by the growing city. and
they stand today as reminiscent OF the
remarkable change that has transformer
a suburban locality into a city section al

On the other corner of Webster street
begins row of brick houses, while along
the north side and west of 14th street Is
another row.
