WALTER TIEDEMAN

A LII Americas will both rejoice
and regret the going of City
Engineer Tiedcman who has am
nounced his resignation, effective
January /, to accept place with the
Rockefeller Foundation in health
research work in the Philippine Is
lands. Mr.. Tiedeman has made
Americas a splendid and efficient
city engineer, and the city would
have been very glad to have kept
him. But his friends-and they are
all those who know him personally
rejoice at the splendid fortune that
has come his way and the possibilities
of a brilliant future which it opens
up. He has before him in his new
connection opportunities which come
to but few men in life, and with his
youth, ability and thoroughness will
make the most of them.
1t is long journey from Americas
to Manila, but the best wishes and
fondest hopes of Americas will go
with Mr.. and Mrs. Ticdeman and
their three boys to their new home
in the Orient.

SPENDING TOO MUCH.

THE War Departments annual re
port can be boiled down to this
one sentence: "The department
spent 1881, 182,9S1 during the last
fiscal year"
That's too much for war purposes
in peace year.
The economy that is being applied
in the War Department must be in
tensified. Same with all other de-
partments of government.
Congress- goal should be to cut
Uncle Sans spending to less than
81, O00,OOO,000 year, not counting
war debt interest

THERE'RE lots Of things that'l
= funny,
And interesting to you;
Such as why now you're sunny,
And tomorrow you're blue.
Sometimes you stop and wonder,
About the shooting stars;
Or just what makes it thunder,
Or what exists on Mars.
Or why some fellows you know,
Live upon Easy Street;
Or why some days twill snow,
And other days twill sleet.
You may have wondered on law;
Questioned theory of Zones
And wondered what doctor saw
When he X-rayed your bones,
You may have crossed the deep,
And built castles in Spain.
Castles vanish and YOU weep;
You wonder,-but in vain.
The things you dido enjoy,
You enjoy no more.
You're no longer the boy
You were in days of yore.
You never have time to play;
You often wonder why
Other folks can be so gay,
And you can't though you try.
You wonder why you must wait
For your dream to come true;
And you wonder just what Fate
Has locked in store for you.
Thus the wonder folks parade,
From the North to South pole
And these wonders often aid
The true ambitious soul.

$4,000 Stake
Attracts Crack
Western Filly
Miss Joy Probable Winner
of Grand Union Purse at
Saratoga Next Saturday
By w. J. Macbeth

SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. Ii The
August meeting of the Saratoga Racing
Association will hit the high spots this
week, for a number of the very most
prominent features are to be decided
before Saturday night.
The most important race, of course,
will grace the weekend card, for Sara
toga particularly specializes on its Sat-
urdays. No less than three important
stakes are to be decided next Saturday
afternoon, with the Grand Union Hotel
Stakes predominating
This $4,000 stake for -year-olds
at six furlongs is particularly inter
esting this year. as in it the crack
Western filly, Miss Joy, will be asked
to meet the best of her class with the
sole exception of Norwich. The cham
p;on colt is not eligible and will not
hook up with Miss Joy before the run
ming of the rich Hopeful, which, with
the Futurity, usually gives that line
upon which the Juvenile championship
is awarded
Though Miss joys second race at
Saratoga was much better than her first
performance, and though she beat let
cf good o-year-olds without extend
ing herself, few concede her an equal
chance with Norwich with anything ap-
proximating even weights. Miss Joy
is a fast breaker and possessed Of won
derful early foot, bur many smart
judges are of the opinion that she will
not be able to carry her speed over q
distance. At five furlongs, or even five
and half, il is doubtful if even Nor
vich could take the measure of Miss
JOY, but six furlongs is something else
again.
Scarcely less important than the
Grand Union Hotel Stakes Of next Sat
urday is The Travers, for three-year-
olds, at q mile and quarter. The
1ravers is one Of the most important
OF all the three year-old fixtures; it has
a guaranteed cash value OF $4,000. In
this race Grey Lag will be called upon
to face the most serious opposition of
his three-year-old career. His stable
mate, Inchcape, is TO go to the post
with him, and Jimmy Rowe will send
out the two Whitney cracks, Prudery
and Tryster. Black Servant, the Ken
tucky Derby winner, and other highly
touted Western horses on this occasion
will try conclusions with Grey Lag for
the first time.
The Beverwyck Steeplechase Handi-
cap, at about two miles, viii also be
run on Saturday afternoon. 1t is one
of the most important of ali the jump
ing races and bound to attract the very
pick Of the timbertoppers.
