New York and Its Millinery.

Whatever may be said about the
dresses, which are for the most part
very freakish and unbecoming, there
is little or no adverse criticism about
the hats, which are really lovely and
of great diversity of shapes and color.
The demand at present is for the close
fitting hat, the durbar turban and
tiny pokes, but unquestionably' large,
rather fiat hats will be worn for mid
summer wear. Many of these are
yelled with printed chiffon, net and
lace, and are very soft and dainty, al
though they have not the fuffiness
characteristic of the lingerie bebe hat.

Instead OF having the conventional

made of cooky batter, and tied to
it by silver cord and white bow a
still smaller cooky heart. This sym

Will Be Easier to Handle and More
Effective Than Present
Model.

London.-The British troops are to
be armed with new rifle.
Ever since its introduction in 1903
the Lee-Enfeld rife, with which the
British forces are now armed, has
been the subject of fierce controversy.
The shortening of the barrel was the
point chiefly criticized, and as the rifle
has not been able to hold its own
against the longer weapon with which
the territorials have been equipped
the controversy has never died down
The idea underlying the adoption OF
the short rifle was to have a weapon
which would be easily handled by both
mounted and dismounted troops. To
suit the cavalry five inches was taken
off the rifle and the reach of the In
fantry soldier with the bayonet was
thus shortened. Attempts have been
made to restore this lost advantage
by the issue of longer payonet, but
the developments Of the modern nign
power cartridge have intensified the
defects of the short barrel as regards
fire efficiency. A longer barrel is
necessary for accuracy and ease,
The barrel of the new rifle will not
have the full five inches restored, but
about one-half Of that. A change of
considerable Importance will be made
in the caliber, which in the new rifle
will be .276 instead of 1903.
An advantage in velocity is expect
cd from this change, as the bullet will
be lighter. The chamber of the new
rife being larger and the breech
mechanism stronger the explosive to
hs used win possess very high power;
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1912-05-24
England Has New Rifle

and it is not improbable that the
velocity will be 5000 feet second,
as against 2,450 of the rifle and am
munition now in use. This would give
Britain an advantage of 100 feet
second over the nearest rival, and with
theealterations the bullet should never
travel higher than the height OF a
man.
The principle of the aperture sight,
which makes aiming partially auto
matte, has been accepted, and the
loading also will be much quickened
by the new methods OF feeding cart
ridges into the chamber. The new
rife will be few ounces heavier than
the present Lee-Enfield. 1t is expect
ed that trials will be made with it by
selected troops this summer.

Harness racing has had It's ups and

There have been changes in the

grand circuit changes in training
methods, In sulkies, harness and
boots, and also in systems OF racing,
although the latter changes have been
experimental and the majority OF the
events raced on the big ring today
are on practically the system used 25
years ago.
Dash racing, racing at varying dis
tances and the every-heat-a-race plan
have been tried, but from the pro-
grams for this season IL appears the
management or the public, and per-
haps both, favor the so-called 1872"
system OF two in three and three in
five heat racing, which prevailed in
the early days.
The grand circuit will open at Grand
Rapids, Mich, and while the predic-
ton may not be new, do not hesitate
to say that this will be a banner year
for harness horses.
One reason Is the great increase in
the number OF horses named In the
leading stakes over that OF former
years. This means larger fields, finch
insures better racing.
