This was in 1874. The meetings
were so successful that larger and bet

young Efen were invited to join. Sim

ORIGIN OF NAMES OF HORSES
Dexter christened for Friend OF Own
er; Maud s. for Daughter Of ownsfs
cresceus for Hippodrome Driver.

Every race horse is required to have
a name, and when champion appears
many an inquiry is made in regard tt
the new performer and especially his
name. Starting with Flora Temple
the first 40 performer, says writer
the records show that she won her first
race under the stable name Of Flora
but no one has ever explained why
Temple was added later.
George Alley named Dexter for his
friend Dexter Bradford. The name OF
this horse was known to more people
than any one that ever lived. Many q

time nearly every printing Office in the
country has in stock a few electros OF
Dexter to insert in advertisements
The original was print with Murphy
in the saddle, the rider being removed
when the wood cut was made. The
Dexter print was also used by manu-
facturers of weather-vanes for barns
and race track buildings all over the
country.

George Wyndham.

One Of the most interesting characters
represented in this collection of letters
is George Wyndham, who was Under
Secretary for War In 1905, in Lord Sails
burys ministry, and in 1900 became
Chief Secretary for ireland. His wife
was the Countess Grosyenor and the book
contains lovely picture of Lady Gros-
venor and their boy, Percy Wyndham, who
subsequently, became an officer in the
British army and was killed In action
in September, 1914 In 1893, George
Wyndham visited Cecil Rhodes in South
Africa; Mr. Rhodes took him into the
Matoppo Hills, where his grave now is,
sand lay down for twenty minutes on the
rock ON the very spot where his body now
rests" Wyndham's letters sparkle with
brilliant touches and vivid anecdotes and
bits Of hamor, Is where he recalls the
exclamation of Porsom, the great Greek
scholar, when he tried to open his hall door
and sat down On the Hoor-"0h, damn
the laws Of naturep The late ". E.
Henley considered Wyndhan's review of
Stephen Cranes Red Badge Of Courage

mArkable appropriations of the emotions of
battle ever written.

charming picture of social life in England

which makes the reader feel that such
life is certainly worth living.

1913: WRITTEN TO MRS. DREW

and After Her Marriage. Arranged by

The sun., 1918-12-29

secretary of Mr.. Gladstone, was a colonial
governor, first IN the FIJI Islands and
afterward in Ceylon, from both of which
dependencies he wrote often to Mary
Gladstone We have rarely seen the argu-
ment against identity Of pursuits for men
and women more sanely stated thar in
one of his letters where be saws
my great objection to women taking
the place hitherto occupied by nFn in
industrial and public life is that Tin my
humble judgment) they would become so
rOughened and eOarsened by the process
that they would altogether lose that
sanitary purifying and eleyating influence
trhich they nom ereTciSc and which | am
quite ready TO admit they would at first
exercise yet more powerfully. But If
human nature be orc and the same in
men and women, a race OF women who
had for generations been acting as men
would inevitably be just as hard and self
ish as men, and l venture to think even
more inscriptions. At best, it seems to
me you would give children tro fathers
and this would be very poor substitute
for mothers care and sympathS."
The Versatile Grove.
Of all the literary friends of Mary
Gladstone, the most versatile was Sir
George Grove, of whom the editors say
it would be hard to determine which was
his greatest achevement-the lighthouse
he built in Jamaica, his Dictionary Of the
Bible, or his Dictionary Of Music aud Mu-
SieiGns. When he was editing MGcmil-
lGa's Magazine be tried TO get Miss Glad
stone to write an article on Handel's
plagfAiSms, assuring her that her knowl-
edge of Handel was as great as any ones,
so that his character would be quite safe
IN her hands. This was a high comph-
ment from the foremost of English mu-
steal critics. Mary Gladstone's proficiency
as musician is evidenced by a note to
her from Joseph Joachim, the famous
asking her to play on Wednes-
day with hiss accompaniment. As the
editors suggest, this was indeed the sub
Hest form Of appreciation. There was a
coterie in and about Carlton
House terrace, consisting mostly of men,
Ders of the Gladstone, Lyttelton and Bal
four families, whom outsiders called music
mad and denominated "The Souls" For
heir benefit Mr.. Balfour maintained In
MS house two concert grand pianos. He
also owned four eoneertinas, generally
,alled the Intervals, on which it was his
lehght to play, with any one who. would
accompany him, through any of the ora
OriOs of Handel"
