AT IRVINGTOiN TRACK
ALTAS, AFTEIt RUNNING AWAY,
WINS TBSS OPEN PACE.
Sensational Finish. In the Second
Hcut-Hamrock Win Gentle
man's Road Race.
Irvington race track was again crowd
ed with enthusiastic mon and women
yesterday afternoon when the unfinished
trotting races, postponed from July 4.
vere carried out. An ideal afternoon for
outdoor sports, close, exciting finishes,
;good fields, three fast races md a hand
furnished the required sport.
As on the Fourth the heavy betting
fraternity was not in evidence to any
extent, although In the first heat of the
open pace there was a liberal patronage.
Two-dollar pools did not seem to be any
temptation. The public banked on Estel
la In the pacing, but It was a fearful
slump, the mare finishing In last place.
Ambrose Cronln's Hamrock, In the gen
tleman's road race, an old-time per
former here, seemed to have his field" at
Ills mercy In both heats. P. "W. Baltes-'
Altas, through pressed hard by Mack,
was the sure thing In the pace, while
Allison's Nabob was a prohibitive favor
lta in the 2:30 trot.
Ilaxnrock Won Gentleman's Race.
To open proceedings the gentleman's
road race was called at 2 o'olock, Tour
v.e'l-known horses appeajlng, hitched, to
four-wheeled road wagons. Cronfn's
Hamrock, was the favorite. At the score
Fred Sechtem, behind House's Vevo, "set
Tho pace, followed closely by Hamrock,
ZTrank Richardson, with his black pac
ing mare, Ferna, in third place .. and
Portland, Jr., owned and driven by Cap
tain Spencer, handicapped by weight
close up. This order was maintained until
rounding Into the stretch, when Hamrock
took the lead and Vevo was all out.
Ferna came up with a rush and captured
second place. The second heat was a
repetition, Vevo speedy until the stretch,
when sie again petered out. Ferna
showed a good burst of speed ar the
finish Hamrock won this heat and the
race, Edward Hanson handled the win
ner In true winning style.
Altas Won the Open Pace.
The open pace furnished the surprise
fof the afternoon. J. M. Church's Estella
sand Baltes' Altas were on the slate
against the field. Estella was freely
played, while Altas had comparatively
fw takers. At the first score Altas
reared, dumping Baltes , the driver, over
tho back of the sulky, and ran away, not
fiercely, but set a good clip on the pace
tho reverse way of the track. He was
caught on tho far side of the track and
en account of the mishap it looked as If
3iis chances were gone. At tho send off
of t'ie first heat Mack set the pace, fol
lowed by Altas and Estella, with Con
don's Annie J. trailing the bunch. At
tr-s five-eighths post Altas forged to the
front and was even headed, Mack at his
shoulder, Annie J. a close third, and the
favorite a straggler.
In the second heat Altas had the pole,
but broke badly at the first turn, and
while the other rag-timers were at the
three-eighths post. Altas -was a full
furlong behind and still in the
air. However, Baltes steadied hi3
steed and plucklly held on, set a
tremendous clip and gradually pulled up
on the field. At the turn into the stretch
he was passing Annie J. for second place.
So far it looked like Mack's heat, but
the speedy Altas -was still coming at a
beautiful pace, gradually closed the gap
and shot under the wire barely a shoulder
In front of Mack, with Annie J. at tne
"winner's wheel and Estella out of It It
was a pretty finish and the brave Altas
deserved the salvo of cheers as he ambled
back to the stand.
Nabob Took the 230 Trot.
"Walter Allison's Nabob scorned to be
the only horse In. the 2:30 race for trot
ters and pacers. The black stallion. Clay
mont, owned by August Erickson, did
good steady work, but had not enough
speed In the stretch. Fred Sechtem's Isl
and Lass set a fast pace In the first
heat, had several lengths to the good at
the half-mile post, but a bad break at
the turn lost her any chance, and the
result of her nervousness was the dis
tanco flag flashed in her face. Nabob
won the heat. Claymont and Nabob
fought it out in the last heat, but Nabob
again won with no money In the pools.

FITTING UP A VERANDA.
Hint of Service to Those Who nave
Summer Homes.
When you are fixing up your veranda
for the Summer the guiding principle in
the selection of its furnishings should
be simplicity and substantiality. It Is
not only Inappropriate to fit up an out
bear the heat of tho sun. the breath of
heavy breezes, and the dampness of rain
and fog, but It entails endless work and
worry.
Next in importance to the consideration
of permanency is that of sl7e. If you
have only a wee bit of a porch, a bench
or a few chairs should limit the at
tempts at furnishing. But If you are
fortunate enough to possess a roomy pi
azza jou can make It the most attractive
part of tho hou?e. If there Is a natural
screen of vines no other may be needed;
otherwise a bamboo or other airy et
substantial screen that will admit the
air and than can be raised and lowered
at will should be provided. Many per
sons prefer an awning which allows a
better circulation of air. None of these
things looks so attractive as a drapery
of honeysuckle, clematis or other flow
ering vine, but they hae the advantage
of not harboring insects which are a
source of worry to nervous persons, or
of shedding leavos and other litter which
vex the neat and cleanly housewife.
If one wants any sort of floor covering
the fibre mats, which come in good de
signs, are suitable. The heavy "mis
sion" chairs, the varied foims of reed,
bamboo and rattan furniture, the old
fashioned wooden settles and splint-bottom
easy chairs are good for the porch,
and most of them will suffer no ill ef
fects from exposure to the weather. Of
course, tho cheaper sorts will warp and
come apart but hard and seasoned woods
will keep over from one season to anoth
er. It Is well to avoid rockers as much as
possible, as they get In the way even on
a large veranda.
In general It is safe to say that every
thing purely ornamental can be dis
pensed with In outside furnishings. If
one has a flne view, that Is enough
vases, placques and the like are hotter
left in the house.
A small table with a lower shelf can
be utilized for paper, books, maga
zines, work basket writing materials,
etc., when not needed for the tea things.
Book shelves and a magazine rack that
fit up close against the wall so as not
to occupy much room, should be perma
nent features of the Summer porch.
They should be placed in the most pro
tected portion so that storms cannot
reach them and damage their contents.
An excellent scheme Is to have a long,
narrow basket attached to the arm of
several chairs. These can be used for
depositing individual work or literature.
Another good arrangement Is that of a
broad arm, or lacking that a sort of
shelf attached to the arm whloh can
be used as a writing desk, a book rest
or a tray for luncheon. A wall rack
for fans which can bt used to shade
the ejes. if they are not needed to cool
the air. Is useful; also a shelf for a clock
that can be left out In all weathera
time always passes unmeasured and un
noticed on pleasant piazzas. A plain
bamboo couch with pillows of sweet grass
or balsam flr covered with gingham or
denim Is a welcome article if one has
room for t
Usually porches aro fitted up to serve
mainly as sitting rooms, but If situated
near enough to the kitchen, it Is a de
lightful plan to arrange for a piazza dining-room,
where all meals can be eaten
in pleasant weather. A round table with
simple wood chairs that can remain out
side and a plain dresser or side table are
all that Is needed In the way of fur
niture. Even greater oare needs to be
observed, however, In arranging tho
screens or awnings for a porch that Is
to serve as a dining-room In Summer
than for one devoted simply to xencral
purposes, as the pleasure to bo gained
from eating one's meals out of doors Is
marred decidedly by having too much
sunlight too strong a breeze or other un
favorable conditions of the weather.

Intimation. Knowing she had left the
country they sought by Innuendo to mix
her up with Ensign, with whom. jhe had
come sort of a business transaction at
ono time. I protested and kept objecting,
but the court overruled me, and I knew
the defense had thrown a doubt over the
case which was bound to result in a hung
jury, or a verdict for the defendant
"At the noon recess I telegraphed En
elgn to come on first train. There was
no explanation. Then I began to play
for time. I knew the court wouldn't
agreo to wait for a witness from that dis
tance. I led the witness out over appar
ently interminable ground, and whenever
the court would reprove me, it would fur
nish me tbe coveted opportunity to lengJi

around, as h6 came forward, and his
eyes lighted as he recognized me. I mo

hard-looking witnese. His clothes were
covered with mud, hair mussed up, and he
had at least a three das" beard on hla

for a consultation, but I d'dn't mind

imputations thrown at ray client H

through a savage cross-examination, but
never lost his cool, easy demeanor, and
came out of it stronger than he went in.
"We got a, verdict for SW00 and Ensign
was the happiest man In the courtroom
when the verdict was announced.

PAINTED FURNITURE AGAIN
Bat Store Artintlc Than the Sort Dis
carded Tito Decades Ago.
The painted furniture formerly de
scribed as "cottage sets" passed out of
style more than a scoro of years ago.
It was always looked upon as a rather
economical and modest substitute for the
black walnut carved set, or even the
more costly rosewood, which was In those
days the last word In modish and ex
pensive furniture. The "cottage furni
ture" could be of cheaper wood, bocause
the thick paint covered up all trace of
Its quality.
Gloomy grays, dull greens and steely
blues were the tints most admired In
this old-f shioned f urolturo. The back
grounds were relieved by crudely painted
bunches of flowers, which ornamented If
anything so intrinsically hideous could be
said to have that effect anywhere the
head and foot of the beds, and were ap
plied in more diminutive form to tho
bureaus and other piece- in the "set"
Cottage furniture was always sold In a
set
It was very cordially despised, after
taste turned toward the antique wooden
furniture, brass beds and all the similar
Improvements that came during the past
score of years. The cottage sets were
relegated to country residences, servant's
rooms and other Inconspicuous places.
Since that time painted furniture has not
been seen until the white enameled chests
of drawers and other wooden pieces be
gan to be seen. Now, says the New Tork
Sun, there aro signs that the days of
painted furniture may return, although
While at Seaside House, in July, 1871. S. A
Clarke wrote some verses, entitled, "Tho Sail
or's Grave," suggested by a visit to the spot
The first of these verses reads as follows:
"There's a lonely grave on tho ocean shcro,
Near to the shadow of Tillamook Head,
Where there la sounding forevermoro
Tho sullen surf, with Its stormy roar,
Requiem sung far tho unknown dead,"
It is not likely that the taste for it will
ever be strong enough to recover the
slightest favor for tho cottage sets.
Painted furniture of the day Is very
much more artistic and elaborate than
Its predecessor ever was. It Is as ex
pensive, too, as nearly any other kind
and would never bo bought for economy.
"White Is the mor popular color for a
background. It Is decorated with sprays
of flowers, very artistically and charm
ingly disposed and painted. Indeed, with
all the excellences that the most modern
and best-trained artists can give them.
There is as much difference between
them and tho old-painted pieces as there
is between a crudo chromo and a deli
cate water color.
Probably this same degree of difference
exists between all articles popular for
household decoration 30 ears ago, and
today. Tho old-fashioned cottage furni
ture seems to have disappeared alto
gether, and never likely to reappear in
any form. But Its direct descendant
very much bettered and undoubtedly
made much more expensive, is offered to
day by tbe large furniture establishments
as one of their latest and smartest styles.
NOAH AND HIS ARK.
Old Story of the Deluge Retold In a
Xe-jv "Way.
A long time ago there was a country
where many wicked people lived. But
some good people lived there, too, among
them a little boj' named Noah. This lit
tle boy loved to study tho sky garden,
with its ever-changing pictures, and he
would read the stories In the sky and
the stories in the cloud books. And when
the boy Noah grew to bo a man and
had little boys of bis own, he would still
study the sky garden, with its ever
changing pictures, and read the stories in
the cloud books.
So he grew to know the sky and the
Father bevond the sky, and he grew to
know the clouds and the stories they
would tell. The dark, blue clouds, with
their silver trimmings; tho gray clouds,
with their white trimmings, and the
heavy black clouds.
One day the sky garden was covered
with gieat, heavy, black clouds, and Noah
knew the clouds were saying that many
raindrops were coming down to the
earth, more raindrops than I can tell you
about; raindrops that would cover all the
trees and flowers; raindrops that would
even cover the tops of the highest hills.
Noah wanted to see this wonderful rain
storm that was going to visit everything
upon tho earth. And the Father who
lived beond the. sky whispered to him
to build a boat; a boat large enough foi'
himself and all his family; so that they
could ride upon tho water.
He built this big boat And when
Noah nnd his family went into tho boat,
his little boys took alt their pets with

and the horses and the sheep, and all the
animals that he had. Then the rain cam
down, pouring and pouring and pouring.
So they lived on the water 40 days and 40
nights.
"When the dull clouds began to move
slowly away and the sky garden In her
blue, silvery dress began to peep out
Noah sent a messenger, a white bird, to
learn if he and his family could come
out and And another homo. Twice tho
white bird flew back to her home on the
boat, for the raindrops were still falling.
But after a while the raindrops all ran
to their homes In the rivers and lakes.
And the earth looked happy and pure and
beautiful. The white bird was so glad
that she began to sing and whistle, and
she built herself a new home In a tall
tree that had many bright green leaves
on It Noah and his family found a new
home.

SHOULD TAKE THE HONORS
Yankee Athletes to Compete In the
Olympian Games.
The 777 Olympian games to be held
at Paris, July 14 to 21, will bring to
gether the best athletes of France, Eng
land and America, and will prove a nota
ble event In the history of athletics. The
colleges of America will be well repre
sented In the amateur events and should
easily win a large share of the honors.
Pennsylvania and Princeton are the only
colleges which will send full teams, but
representatives of the University of Chi
cago, Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia,
Georgetown and Yale will compete.
Yale will not send a team of her own,
but soveral of her men will run under
the colors of the New York Athletic
Club. They are: Captain Bascom John
son, '00; Dixon Eoardman, '03, and Rich
ard Sheldon, ex-'9S. and several others.
S. M. "W. Long, the Columbia, quarter
mile, will also bo taken. The team will
land In England on Tuesday next, and
will compete 1n the English championship
meet of July 7.
Pennsylvania will send a team of 12
men, consisting of Kraenzleln, McClaln,
TdcCracken, Hare, Grant Remington,
Bushnell. Tewkesbury, Orton, Drumheller,
Mechllng and Baxter.
The Princeton team Is composed of
Captain John Crogan, Jarvis, Perry, Car
roll, Horton and Coleman. They will also
compete In the English games.
In several of tho Parl3 events, rules
differing from those in voguo here will be
observed. The shot will be put from a
square ring, seven feet In measurement-;
in tho pole vaulting, prongs will bo al
lowed at the end of the pole by which
tho contestant can keep the pole steady
while ho climbs further up; the discus
will also be thrown from a square ring.
In addition to the Yale men who will
compete for the Now York Athletic Club,
W. A. Blount '00, and G. Foster San
ford, '97 L. S., will contest independently.
Women Who lf!ittv.
There Is a barber In New York who
makes a specialty of shaving women. He
has a number of regular customers. One
of them Is a wealthy Cuban woman, who
spends a great deal of time at the Flfth
Avenuo Hotel. None of them are young.
In speaking of his customers, the barber
said:
"Thoy don't want depilatories. They
want to be regularly shaved. Just llko
a man. They have naturally heavy
growths of beard. They Uke the sensa
tion. I have shaved one woman threo
times a week for 10 years. She won't
lot me touch her with any but the sharp
est razor.
"To look "at her no one would imagine
that she could grow a beard that would
put many a man to shamo. Her complex
ion Is smooth and clear and her skin
flne and firm. She could havo her whis
ker's permanently removed by a prepara
tion, or by the needle, but she prefers
to bo shaved."

"White for Summer Gown.
"White dres3 goods is much to be pre
ferred to colored or printed materials
I for Summer wear, especially tor children,
whoso frocks need constant washing to
keep them in spotless cleanliness.
Nothing launders so well and wears so
long as white plquo. It needs to be
cleaned frequently, as nothing detracts
as much from one's personal appearance
as a soiled pique gown, but many wash
ings do not injure it and a pique suit
can be worn from season to season, pro
vided the styles are considerate.
Little children are always most at
tractive when they are dressed in white,
and it fs very seldom that one sees the
weo tots clad In any other color during
tho warm Summer months.
How Mnny Apples?
A number of boys, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, went out on an excursion up tho
river, and, stopping off at a certain place,
walked around a while to see tho coun
try, when they spied a beautiful, large
applo tree, tho boughs of which were so
laden with the luscious fruit that they
almost touched the ground. The boys
did not hesitate to help themselves, and
went at It with a determination to get
all the apples they could carry.
They had not been there many minutes,
however, when the owner went after them
with a great big whip, causing them to
run away as fast as they could, but not
before they had stolen between two and
three dozen apples.
After they had gotten away to a safe
distance, they proceeded to dlvido them,
and found that by counting four apples
at a time there were three apples left
over, but by counting five apples at a timo
only ono apple remained. "Who can tell
how many apples thoso boys stole?
