PESSIMISM IN PARIS

Here's a French philosopher,
Prof. Gauthier, has got Paris all
riled up over the proposition that
human beings haven't as much
sense as animals about eating. He
says, he has tried feeding dogs on
canned and preserved goods ex-
tensively consumed in the homes
of France, with the result that
the poor things didn't live out
half their days.
And what say the Parisians?
Why,lthat they have been
pearched to so much about mot
knowing how to sleep, and how
to. walk, and how to breathe, and
how to dress, and, finally, how to
eat, that they are becoming dis
couraged.n
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-03-23

Well, if Paris doesn't know
to dress, she is surely response
bic for leading the rest of the
world astray, and, if Paris does
not know how to eat, somebody
owes US the price OF good many
French dinners that we've been
induced to consume under false
pretences. "
Is it possible that Paris is right
and the professor wrong? We
hope so.

OFFICIALS ARE
WELL KNOWN MEN

With the prospect Of three months
racing, as one might say. in the one
spot, it Is small wonder that the
opening of the new race course at
Havre de Grace, Md, on Saturday,
August "a. is eagerly looked forward
to by horsemen and all. in fact that
have the good Of the sport at heart.
Within a radius Of SO miles and
with but two short shipments to make
the owners and lovers Of the thor
oughbred will. hguratively speaking,
have chance TO come into their
own, for from the opening day at the
new course until November 40, when
Pimlico closes the Maryland circuit
for 1912, racing will go on uninter-
ruptedly in this State.
The new course. located on the
banks Of the Susquehanna river and
on the main line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, has been pronounced-b by all
who have viewed il as one OF the best
and most up-to-date race courses and
as safe as skill can make Il. In fact,
1t is one Of the finest in the Eastern
country.
Officials Well known.
The officials have all been chosen,
and that care has been taken to select
only those OF first-class reputation in
their chosen profession leaves no
room for doubt G. j. Fitzgerald and
G. II. Pettingill will oiiiciate IN the
Judges stand; W. s. Vosbury will do
the handicapping II. U. Homan, clerk
of the scales; W. H.. Schaut will be
paddock and patrol judge; w. II.
Barrette will be timer; Robert Tucker
track superintendent, and Fred Reh-
berger, secretary. The betting IN
closure will be in charge of JoLI
Cavanagh.
The program book for the first 10
days has been carefully prepared.
with the idea that the purse distrl-
button will be as equitable as pos
sible. For that reason. other than on
the opening day, whea the Havre de
Grace handicap will be run (this
event being Of S1,500 added money
value), all other events will hal an
added value Of $400, $500 and 5000
they being apportioned as follows:
Nineteen at s400, % at $500 and IS
at $780, the sum totaling for the first
10 days of the meeting SS0,900. For
the following 30 days the program
will be arranged TO suit all avail
able material. an Idea that will no,
alone obtain the support Of the horse
men, but will meet with the approval
of the public who. enjoy keen aud in
teres-ing sport
Another move in the righ direction
was the obtaining OF the services OF
James Milton as starter. Though un.
known to the majority Of Eastern
racegoers, he has established a re-
putation second TO none on the South
ern and Western courses during th'
last three years, and all who have
seen him handle the barrier pro
nounce his work gilt-edged.

TENNIS RANKING
HAS CHANGED
New Mines VIII be Found
Among First Ten at
NeWpOrt

With Newport only a week of 1t
may be we'll to review briefly the ten
nis season Of 1912 as far as il has
gone. Last year the first ten were
ranked as follows: w. A. Larned.
Mclaughlin, Bundy, Touchard, Long,
Niles, Pell, Little, Behr, Hall, Larned
has done no playing in singles this
year and so nothing can be said
about his ability, but it is understood
that he is still suffering somewhat
from rheumatism.
Mclaughlin has won the Longwood
Western, New York State, and CEN
tral California titles. Bundy has been
beaten twice by Mclaughlin this sea-
son and has scored over Behr and
lnman. As for Touchard. although
he has won four titles, including the
Tri-State honors, his recent play has
been decidedly disappointing. Long
has not figured IN many meets against
topnotchers from east or west, but
Niles has had fairly good season.
winning the Massachusetts, State
championship. He has defeated Dab
ney, Behr, Touchard, and Church.
Pell began the season auspieiously
but he iourneyed to the Olympic
games and therefore has taken part
In few Of the big meets. Little has
done fairly well, having captured the
metropolitan championship, and Behr
and Hall have both been holding
their own.
When the Ranking Committee gets
busy, however, It will consider some
new blood this year among the first
ten. William, lnman, and Man are
showing up remarkably we'll. In fact
unless Larned comes back at New
port II seems more than likely that
next years ranking will show Will
liams third or perhaps even second II
ne can prove himself superior TO
Bundy. Clothier is at it again and
although he was no match for Nc
Laughlin, he has done some good
work Among the first ten next year
from present indications should be
found Mclaughlin, Bundy. Williams,
Behr, Little, Niles, Clothier, Toucahrd
Hall and Inman. Dabney, Man, @.
p. Gardner, Jr.. Wallace F. Johnson
and Pell are other possibilities. AS
suming that the ten first named re-
present the cream OF American ten.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
A. seipio Was to Hannibal So Was
wellington to Napoleon.


Wellington to Napoleon.
There Is probably no more remark.
able historical parallel than that ex.
hibited by the career of Scipio Afri-
canus. the hero Of the second Punlc
war. and the Duke of Wellington. the
conQueror of Napoleon.
Each was descended from an ancient
and noble family. Each was the
second greatest soldier of his age.
pitted in a life and death struggle
against the greatest. AS Scipio was
to Hannibal SO was Wellington to
Napoleon. Hannibal threatened the
very existence Of Rome: Napoleon was
on a fair way to become the master
Of Europe.
Again. Spain was the center of the
most splendid achievements Of both
commanders. The victories of Scipio
In Spain are too well known to need
recapitulation. and Wellington's tri.
umphs in the peninsular war form one
Of the commonplaces Of history.
Neither of these great generals met
bis arch-adversary until the final and
decisive battles-Zama and Waterloo
respectively. And the result of both
battles was exile to the defeated
chiefs. Hannibal retired to Ephesus;
Napoleon was deported to st. Helena.
But the parallel does not end here.
Both Scipio and Wellington exchanged
4 military for political career. And
here the same fate pursued them.
Scipio incurred the enmity Of the
Roman senate: Wellington gained the
hostility Of the London populace. And
here follows the most remarkable fea.
ture Of the parallel drawn between
these two great men.
Seventeen years elapsed from the
battle of Zama-seventeen years to
the very day-when the great Scipio
was tried on question OF bribery.
He was not slow In his defense to re-
mind his judges that on that day he
had saved the republic. Seventeen
years elapsed from the battle Of Water.
loo-seventeen years to the very day
when the great Wellington had to
take refuge from the attack of a Lon.
don mob. angered on account of his op-
position to the parliament reform bill.
The only point in which the parallel
tails Is this: Scipio died outside his be-
loved city of Rome: Wellington has
bis monument in st. Paul's cathedral,
London. But the parallel between the
careers Of these two extraordinary men
remains as one Of the curiosities of
history.-Youth's Companion.
