club rooms nor private residences to be
found in any city of its size in Europe
or the United States. Its palaces are
superb, it's public buildings wonder
fully impressive and its public gardens
and parks rival the promenades of the
world Many of the private residences
cost half million dollars In erection
and half as much in their furnishings,
but the costly adornments of the parks
and boulevards reflect the shame of
Chile for they are the loot that was
stolen and exported from Peru during
the war between the two nations that
outrivaled the atrocities perpetrated in
the subjuga tion of Poland.
But the city has its oddities, the most
pronounced of which are probably it's
street car female conductors, ex-
pedency which was necessitated when
most of the men were with the army
in Peru
AS the tramways are double deckers
the woman conductor is perched upon
high seat on the rear platform, where
she receives the fare as the passenger
enters. The uniform of the conductors
consists of a roguish Panama hat a
gown of blue flannel and a long white
pinafore, reaching from thoat to ankles
and supplied with innumerable pockets.
They are seldom rnolested, as police
man stands upon every corner a
precautionary measure, though Chile
has its mashers as we do and. flirting
with street car conductors is quite tn g
vogue. The women receive $25 per
month as wages and must account for
all missing tickets Most of them be-
long to the mixed race of Spanish and
lncian blood.

The women of Chile are not half as

coquettish grace and voluptious languor
of the Lima bellies, but as a majority
of them are of the blond type, 1t is not

Talecarrier a Dark One.

If there were an advance book on the
chances of these Derby candidates, Tale
carrier undoubtedly would be installed IA
vorite, though not one horseman in ten
will confess today that the colt Is the
class of the race.
Talecarrier, like Sotemia, which Mrs.
win the Kentucky Endurance stakes, is
homebred at her own farm in RancOcas,
N j. He is by Arm cath II, an imported
sire of mediocre caliber, out of Jumbly
Girl, she by Ben Strome out Of Whip
cord, by Discord, second dam Sonnet by
Albert Victor.
Armeath III is a young sire. imported
by Mrs. Livington's associates in the
breeding industry for service at Rancocas.
He Is English, of good strain on both
sides. being by Enthusiast or Atheling
out of Millcog. by Favo. The Atheling al
tentative in this stations ancestry Is pre-
ferred by those who favor his chances in
the stud.
Oakhurst, Capt. P. M. Walkers good
performer is an Armeath which has made
good Jumbly Girl, dam of Talecarrier,
has had only two foals to race, the first
being by Locohatchee. sire of Sotemia.
J. w. Colt bred her. and she was acquired
as a broodmare by Mrs. Livingston Tale
carriers chief mark of distinction, aside
from his rangy appearance, is the stride
he has. He Is game and speedy, and
covers distance of ground with each
jump. which is belied by his bouncing
style of going. He runs and acts like a
great big two-year-old. though he has fill
ed out well, and, as has been mentioned.
can go the route.
All these factors Trainer Hayward be-
lieves will initiate in his favor in the big
race. Mrs. Livingston herself will be
