AUSTRIAN DERBY IS
An ANNUAL EVENT

VIENNA, July 1.-THE great annual
Austrian Derby, the banner race Ct
the sporting season for all Austria
Hungary, this year proved even more
than the anticipated success. 1t far
outdid the Derby of 1915, in general
interest, attendance and sporting feat
ures.
Many of the big figures in society
and the smart and brilliant gowns Of
peace-time were lacking, but the
threatening weather was largely %
blame for that.
The Austrian race track crowd is
totally unlike the one-time American
crowd. The nerve-racked excitement
of the American track is lacking, AMI
when the horses come laundering
down the track-from right to left in
stead of from left to right and on SOD
instead of solid earth-there are sci :
dom any shouts for this or that horse.
A feature of the Austrian track is
khe surprising number of women who
bet on the races. Thousands of them
crowded to the pari-mutel booths
on Derby day, feverishly thrusting
their ten and twenty crown bills to the
cashier, and jostingly making their
way after the race to the pay-off
booths. The women too furnish a
sight that is not common on an Amerl-
can track, for countless numbers of
them strolled about the paddock, or
leaned against the rail smoking Gig
arctic after cigarette. They stood
about the huge announcing board with
cigarettes between their lips, program
in hand, carefully and skillfully
checking off the numbers of the
horses to run in the next race and the
names of the jockeys who were to
ride them.
The only signs of war, if they would
strike even the outsider, were the gray
uniforms of officers and soldiers WHO
mingled with the crowd.
The most popular favorite did not
win, so there was a sorrowful elemen.
in the homeward-boundc crowd, but on
the whole it was happy and carefree

China s New President Had a
Brief And Simple Mandate

PEKING, July 17.-President ia
Yuan lungs official mandate an
Eouncing his assumption of the presi-
Gency in succession to Yuan Shi-Kai,
was extremely simple and brief. IL
lacked the pomp and verbosity so
common to documents prepared by
students of the Chinese classics. The
mandate expressed Ii Yuan-hung's
sorrow at the death of Yuan Shi-Kai,
and pleaded for unanimous support Of
Chinese officials and Chinese public in
solving the difficulties of the Chinese
republic.
The full text of the mandate fol-
lows: "Yuan-hung has assumed the
office of president on this the 7th
day of the 9Th month. Realizing his
lack of virtue, he is extremely solicit
tous lest something may miscarry. His
single aim will be to adhere strictly
to law for the consolidation of the re-
public, and the moulding of the coun-
try into a really constitutionally adj
ministered country. May all officials
and people act in sympathy with this
idea and with united soul and energy
fulfill the part that is lacking in him.
This is his great hope.
THE present general situation is
exceedingly precarious. Having just
shouldered the great burdens of the
state, I need the assistance of others
in everything pertaining to admins
trative measures. All civil and mill
tary officials outside of Picking should,
therefore, remain at their posts and
assist in solving the present roubles.
Let no man shirk his duties in the
slightest degree.
The republic was the child of the
revolution of the year of Hsin Hal. The
late great president, who supported
the republic and consolidated the
whole country, worked diligently day
and night, planning for the country
under great embarrassment. Heaven
las denied him longer age, and he has
left this world after illness. The en-
tire country mourns in sorrow at the
thought of his exemplary merits.
