terday afternoon at the Aqueduct track
Thunderclap Is much the better horse
He proved this conclusively In the KOS
lyn Handicap, at one mile and SIX
tenth. The two good three-year-ol
met In what was practically match
race. They each carried 124 pounds
and Thunderclap won easily by three
lengths.
Although only two horses connected
the contest was one of the best OF the
year For a quarter of mile the pair
raced head and head without either
gaining as much as a foot. They meas
ured strides up the backstretch so close
together that even the men who's "calp'
for the charts were unable to say which
was in front.
sJust before the bend was reached
over There began TO draw away. He
gradu ally increased his lead until at
the middle of the bend he was length
and a half I'm front. Then Thunderclap
came on again and In a few strides took
command. He entered the homestretch
a.lengtn In front and running easily. At
the final quarter pole Over There made
another bid for the lead. He gained
half a length on Thunderclap. but weak
ened in the final furlong. while Mr.. Hill
dreth's colt went on and scored de-
cisively and impressively.
1t was the second time this season the
two horses met in two horse race and
on both occasions Thunderclap was re-
turned the victor After his Sst de-
feat by Thunderclap, over There came
back and finished first in the Lawrence
Realization, but was disqualified.
William Karrick. who trains Over

and before yesterdays contest was con-

claimed that Over There was the better
horse and when his charge was de-
feot~d tho trainer was a sadly disap-
pointed man.

New Jersey Tourney Next.

The last sanctioned tournaments OF the
outdoor season in this section of the
country will be those of the Montclair
Athletic Club and the Essex County
Country Club of New Jersey. The for
mer begins next Monday with singles
and doubles for women and the latter
gets under way on October 10 with
mixed doubles as the lone attraction. "A
few team matches in the Metropolitan
League follow. and then the scene will
shift to the indoor courts of the aFmories.
When Norman Brookes and Gerald
Paterson, the great Australian pair, who
won our national doubles championship
at Longwood last month, were defeated
by Johnston and Tilden in the America
VS.. Australia team match at Forest
Hills early this month, there were many
who declared that the Anzacs were
overrated as n team. and that two or
three pairs in this country could defeat
them.
But there does not appear to be sound
logic back of this belief The match
in question was the sole defeat suffered
/ by Brookes and his partner, and they
have met the best we have. Since they
left the East, on their long journey ba tx
to Australia, the Amaze pair have again
defeated Johnston and Griffin in Chicago
and followed only few days ago. with
a win over Mclaughlin and Johnston.
The meeting at Forest Hills should
not have too much weight in figuring
the playing strength OF the teams. The
/ Australians had just finished the har.i
| grind OF tho national singles and tho
international singles, and Brookes was
well spent by his efforts and in add-
! ton. the strain was oyer and both he
and Patterson suffered the usual let.
down, with nothing at. stake on the
match.

third end of the purse by a head from

For Houdinfs bad race Byers was Sc
verely criticised by almost every race
goer at the track. The jockey didn't
show any skill at any time and finished
the way he started-wth his hands on

Dear Social Cornerites: Beads seem Io be tAe real thing now. l will tell you how to make the pretty beads be- ing worn.
 Handsome beads are made from bread crumbs. The bread must be fresh. It is well to make it on pur- pose for the beads; use water to mix bread in place of milk, and butter for shortening. When the bread is thor Oughly cold, cut a thick slice, trim off the crust, then grate the bread, using a coarse grater, so the crumbs are light; take the bread board and a large No. II aluminium thimble to measure, a steel nail to pack it down, two spoons, one-half pound box, No. 2 bank pins, two mixing cups, sometimes use three mixing cups.
 The materials for the bread paste are as follows: Vegetable color pastes, fiaked bread crumbs, sachet powders, the fixative. The fiXative is made from four three fourths cup of cold water, pound slowly on one tablespoon white flour: beat it until it is perfectly smooth; if left lumpy you could not make the desired bead.

A coNvALEsCENT BOX.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The raising quality in Uncle Sam's Daugh- ters' biscuit recipe published in the Social Corner Feb. p, 1919, was omit ted. It should have read: Two cups of flour, one-half to one cup of milk, two teaspoons of baking powder, a little salt and one egg.
 How much pleasure you may extend 10 d friend by sending them a conva lescent box. To several of my friends who have been ailinG when they were able to sit up I have sent what l call d convalescent box, with such a box at the bedside, they seem to enjoy Un- doitg packages and seeing what the next day will bring forth.
 First, l find out what l want 10 send in the box, and then that tells me the exact size. I send an article for each day in the week. and if l have time write a letter and place on the top of the box; but always write something cheering with each article you send, no matter whether it rhymes or not.
 In the box I shall send next week is to be a shopping bag. This is the verse | have written to place in that (tfis is a bag with large holes, because take to market to buy a juicy steak, made of tWine): "ln sending a bag, to and if the price is too high for you. just try a pig, that won't fall through. "
 I have made d bunch of violets to send and have written a verse to go with this: I was looking for some thing sweet for you. These YioletS asked if they wouldn't do"
 With medicine glass: I'm sending this glass when you afe i'll to help you swallow that awful pill
 When your box is complete you have no idea how the invalid will want the next day to come so to see what is in store for them.
 If a child is sick, fill shallow box with bran, collect small branches from tree and tie to the end of each some favorite little thing. Bury them well in the bran, leaving an end standing up. The children will have as much fun uprooting their little treasures as the older ones.
 If you happen to gather these branches when they are leaved out it is all the better, for they are twice as attractive.
