There Is no telling how fast this great horse could have run if Odom had rid den him out The big crowd that made the trip to Brighton today was much sur prised by the appearance of the new Brighton racetrack. The new clubhouse, erected last Winter at a cost of $60,000, compares favorably with any la the coun try.

The awards cannot b& determined until tho reports from all of the 10 centrals, into which the 253 -miles run was divided, havo been received. Each man was credited with 1000 points at tho start and deductions are to be made for lateness in arriving at centrals and for substitution of new parts of machines for those sealed by tho refereo at the start This was the first endurance test of motor-cycles in this country, and that so many of the frail, low-powered machines should have accomplished the long run on time is deemed a victory for the new sport Those who finished tonight re ported passing through showers all the way from Stamford, Conn., to this city. There were several accidents along the way. The only serious one, however, hap pened tp George V. Rogers, of Racine, Wis., who was thrown from his bicycle near New Britain, Conn., and so seri ously hurt that ho was taken to a local hospital.

Violent Attack of Diarrhoea Cured and Perhaps a. Life Saved. "A short timo ago I was taken with a violent attack of diarrhoea and believe I would have died If I had not gotten re lief," cays John J. Patton. a leading cit izen of Patton, Ala. "A friend recom mended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I bought a 25-cent bottle and after taking three doses of it was entirely cured. I consider It the best Tcmedy In the world for bowel com plaints." This remedy Is certain to bo needed In almost every home before the bummer is over. It can always be de pended upon., even in the most severe and dangerous cases. It Is especially val uable for Summer diarrhoea in children. It is pleasant to take, never falls to give prompt relief. Why not buy It now and be prepared for such an emergency? For Bale by all druggists. DINED WITH HIS VALET UNUSUAL EXPERDSNCE OF TITLED BRITON IN NEW YORK. Was Due. to the Readiness of Wealthy Family to Pick Up Acquaintances. Not every Englishman of title who makes a Journey to this country has the privilege of dining with his valot at a New York house- BuC that experience recently befell one titled Briton who came here for the first time. He and his wife crossed on one of tho great liners and for good reasons kept more or less to themselves, says the New York Sun. One cause for this was the fact that neither ono of them was able to enjoy life at sea very much. It Is not difficult to see that another reason might have been found In the usual de sire to keep away from the majority of their fellow-men which seems to grow stronger as Englishmen of title leave their country behind them. The traveler, who was destined to dlno with his valet after he had landed on this free roll, saw ery little of his fellow passengers therefore. With her ladyship he kept his deck stateroom and mingled little with the rest of the ship's guests. With one family he was acquainted be fore they had met on the landing stage at Liverpool. They were New Yorkers with an enthusiastic adoration for everything English, which made this man little loss than a terrestrial god In their opinion. But If they loved a Lord they were suf ficiently acquainted with all the provis ions of the book of snobbery not to show their preference too openly. So they knew enough to bo only polite to His Lordship and hold In check the exuberant hospital ities that occurred to them whenever they caught a glimpse of him or his wife. Smooth-f iced and gray, severely dressed in subdued tweeds, and quiet and as re served in manner as If he had been a lord himself was His Lordshlp'3 man. He was a gentleman's gentleman with a completeness that filled the phrase. Impressive Appearance. His mere appearance was bo impressive that nobody would havo taken him for anything under the rank of a bishop a somewhat youthful, worldly bishop, but certainly aristocratic. He seemed some thing like that to the .American friends of hl3 master. They made his acquaint ance before tho steamer had been out threo days. After 20 hours he was the devoted cava lier of the mother of the family, tucking her Into her steamer chair with a care which she never realized was born of long experience, walking her not too actively up and down the deck at night and look ing after her comfort In many little ways that make life on a steamer comfortable for a middle-aged woman who has yield ed to avoirdupois without a struggle. Her son had met the man on deck, recognized that he was English, and presented him immediately to his family. His attentions were generally most as siduous at night But they were agree able at all times. His manners seemed perfect to tho group to which he had at tached himself. Ho had learned in fact from some very famous masters Just what manners should be. The Journey ended and the friends part ed. Tho treatment of His Lordship by the family from New York had been so much in accord with English Instincts that he and his wife parted from them on the day the steamer landed with real cor diality. That led to an invitation to dine with the New York family.. Both of the foreigners realized that their ovn cordial ity had prompted tho Imitation, so they accepted it It happened that the Americans pos sessed a family name which began with a letter well near to the top of the alpha bet His Lordship's Initial was far to ward the other end. So the Americans did not see tho gray-haired Englishman bustling among His Lordship's bags, opening them for the Custom-Houso In spectors and keeping In charge my lady's maid. The English travelers came through the ordeal quickly, so far as their pres ence was required, and departed. The valet remained behind to superintend fur ther inspection of the baggage. An Invitation Accepted. It was in this position that his friends of the steamer found him after they had finished with the revenuo officers and were walking toward their carriage. It was a most auspicious poso for him to be found in. Scattered about him was the baggago of an Englishman of wealth, and that Is always impressive. Ho took off his hat to the party. The matron stopped and the son and daughter flanked her on either side. "I won't say good-byo," she began, "for I want you to como to dinner with us on Tuesday. Wo are going to have some other English friends. So you must come." The address and the card were handed over and the valet, ignorant of the ill fortune In store for him, was thrilled with a warm glow of satisfaction at his flattering introduction to America. The night came. His master and mis tress dressed and went out to dlnner without indicating their destination. The other guest for the dinner was nearly ready when his master departed. It need ed only a few minutes' preparation for him to put the finishing touches to his attlro and start from the hotel. Ho rode In a hansom along tho same street through which hl3 employers had taken their way, feeling very much elated at the unusual position in which he found himself. In tho meantime the two other guests of the evening had arrived. In all, there were to be 16 guests. One was still miss ing after tho two In whose honor the din ner was given had arrived. But they had not to wait long. In a few minutes tho butler announced him and tho valet en tered. The astonishment of tho Englishman may bo Imagined. It would have been difficult to tell which of the two from wholly different causes was the more un comfortable. The employer, when his val et suddenly turned and faced him, stared as if he could not bellevo his eyes. The valet ooked as though he had been caught with his hand in somebody's pocket. But there was no timo for a considera tion of ways and means. Something had to be done on the instant, for tho hostess had Just turned to present the latest ar rival. "Don't you know one another?" she asked, "Why, wo all crossed on the same steamer." , Then sho said a few words of introduc tion and carried the valet on to another group to be presented. Interesting Dilemma. "The emotions that passed through my mind," the master said later, in telling of his remarkable Introduction to this coun try, "went through a, remarkable range. I knew my valet to be an honest man. He was even introduced under his own name. What he had done was tremen dous presumption. But I don't believe that he had acted with the deliberate in tention of deceiving. He had certainly not intended, as the valets of fiction have done, to be taken for his master. "I knew that to leave the house then or to order him to leave would make the sit uation intolerable for everybody. To let the facts be known then and there would embarrass the hostess hopelessly, as well as tho rest of the guests. The man was obviously In a funk, and If I had told him to go or showed him by my expres sion that such -nas my wish, he would have rushed away In a second. So I de cided to acknowledge the introduction by a bow and my wife did the same. The man was led away immediately to be pre sented to the other guests. "In the minute that my wife and I were together wa decided to remain perfectly quiet on the subject Luckily, the man was placed at a distance on the other side of the tabls When tho women Jeft the room he excused himself on- the ground of another engagement and hurried away. "When we got home that night to the hotel I found evidence of his services. I was not In the habit of seeing him under any circumstances until morning, and I awaited him with especial interest the next day. It seemed to me that I should have to let him go. I was Just starting on. a long tour, and had no idea where I should get another man so good, if Indeed I found one of any kind. This thought always disturbed me, but It seemed that there was nothing left for me to do but to tell him to go back to England, where he was at least free from tho temptation of trying to go where he had no busl- -ness. "But I never had the opportunity of testing my fortitude in discharging him. for he never came back. A very respect ful note was brought by one of the boys in the hotel. It told me that In view of what had occurred the night before he had decided to take passage on a steamer sailing that day for England. He said he had been up all night putting my af fairs la readiness for his successor, who would find everything In good order. That was the last I ever heard from him, and I never saw him again even at dinner." FADED CRIMSON. Fancies of Interest to College Men and Athletes. New York Times. For some time we have known that the deep crimson of Harvard local color was fading to let us say a crushed strawberry; but wo wero not prepared to find It such a very crushed strawberry. First, the merry rout at class day gave up dancing on the green In front of Holworthy. Then they abolished the scrimmage for. flowers about tho class tree. Finally they did away with tho commencement punches. But it remained for the publication cf the mod ern Harvard songs "the 9ongs that are actually sung at Harvard by the Glee Club, by-'the crowds at the football games" to fill the cup of the graduate's despair. That the Eton beating song should havo been "adapted to the use of American colleges" is. perhaps natural; but need It have been adapted to the use of tho Young Porson of the Back Bay who "hangs over the Har vard Bridge to see the crewg swing by? Instead of the manly Elizabethan phrase of the original, we have: Swing-, swtne together. Your backs between jour knees. Fie upon those backs! To swing them between your knees is execrable oarsman ship, in fact anatomically Impossible. The word Jars with tne rhythm and the music, and it Jolts a sense of simple decency. Yet those, backs bespeak the spirit of the book entire. Wo look In vain for the real old crimson songs Yale men say Their crew is sure to win. Let them talk And put up all their tin. " We -will bet All the money wo havo In view. And show tour miles of rudder To the crack New Raven crew. That's writing for you! It doesn't say: We will bet all the money we have. That were a vague resolve. "All the money wo hae In view" time and eternity In a phrase! As tho last line "And show four miles of rudder" Homer himself can't beat It As against thl3 the modern under graduate sings: The cheers from Harvard hosts ring- high While crimson banners streaming Lift the crimson glory to the sky Where the- sunset red is gleaming. Faugh! Prettified verse of a girl grad uate, the local color lugged In on a ribbon. Then there's that other ol song. An airy trifle, to be sure, but eloquent Urn ta Ua da, fell with Yalf! O-ell. fell, TELL. lth YALE! A rare old vintage, this song! It may be that wo betray our antiquity by looking for it on tha list; but we can't contain our disgust at .finding In place of It a Nea politan eugar wine like this: Hard luck for poor old Ell, tough on the Blue. Now, altogether. Smash them and break through! 'Gainst the line of crimson they can't prevail: Threo cheers for Harvard, and down with Yalol There Is Indeed a greater courteousness in this, and no little stately fervor: but as a battle cry it isn't a pitch on "Um ta da da." Aa for "Harvard was old Harvard," It may bo objected that parts of it are a triflo steep for Little Sister on tho Back Bay; but surely the pen that swung the back of a crew between their knees need not have been at a loss to remedy them: Oh, Harvard was old Harvard When Talc was but a pup. And Harvard will be Harvard When Yale Is rotted up! Tho Biblical prophets could do no bet ter. We all know the proverb a3 to the power of the man who make3 the songs of a people; and unless this weakening of the local color Is arrested. Old Harvard will be rotted up while Yale yet flourishes like the nutmeg tree. But the worst Is to come. Prominent among these modern Harvard songs Is that rank Ell cacophony. "Bright College Years," Illustrated with a headpiece show ing a lot of Yale seniors squatted on a cer tain historic fence. The Harvard men who aing this song will end By abolishing foot race Jockeying, loud-mouthed coaching to rattle tho Yale pitcher, kneeing and slug ging on the gridiron, and blood will be as conspicuous by Its absence on the foot ball field as crimson Is in this book of songs. PROFESSIONAL INDEXERS. Special Requirements of a New Field of Work. New York Evening Post "I call myself an indexer and a scrap per," said tho occupant of an ofilce not far from Madison Square. "By scrapper I do not mean a pugilist, but a profes sional scrap-bookmaker. In these two fields, or, really, ono field, because no scrap book Is of value until .It has been Indexed, i am an expert That does not mean much, because there are only six or eight of us In New York. Our calling Is the result Of the cllnnlnc bnro.iii?:. of which there are now some 30 or 40 in va rious parts of the country. You subscribe to a bureau and order clippings upon any particular subject or subjects. These are furnished to you by tens, hundreds or thousands, according to the subject given. Each clipping is mounted upon a slip, which glve3 the name, place and date of tho paper from which it is taken. If you are wise, you will now employ an indexer and scrapper to put these into permanent and valuable form. If you do not care to engage an expert for the entire job, you will find it advisable to consult with one for Information and advice. "In the choice of scrap books beware of the gaudily bound affair with which tho market is flooded. They are poorly bound and go to pieces before they are half filled with scraps. What Is even worse, the pages are mado of thick wood-pulp paper, which dries, cracks and breaks ere a year has gone by. I havo seen sccres of nice looking scrap books which were masses of fragments by th& time the last page was pasted with clippings. Tho only kinds of paper which should be used are cither the best linen or else Manila hemp. Literary people may profit by the usages In business offices. The books there which are made for the heaviest wear and tear have their page3 of yellow or brown Man ila hemp paper. This Is particularly the case with all first-class invoice books, which will last till the day of doom. Most of them will outlast their bindings, and for this reason nearly all are so con structed that the heavy canvas bindings can be removed without trouble and hand Romer ones put on when so desired. What Is more, they are very economical. A 260-page Invoice book costs 51 50, which Is less than most of the pretty parlor-table affairs which contain but 100 pages and the poorest wood-pulp paper." .

Great Gain In Wheat Shipments ii the Current Crop Year Coast- vrlse Snipping:. WASHINGTON, July 5. The monthly summary of Internal commerce, issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, sums up representative commercial movementa for comparative periods of succeeding years. It reports that receipts of wheat at eight Interior markets, to the end of May in the current crop year, reached a total of 211.221,&52 bushels. Last year's receipts for the corresponding period were 2O4.OS3.037 bushels. All of this gain is to be credited to Sj)rlng wheat sections of the country, there having been a decreaaa of nearly 22.000,000 bushels at the Winter wheat markets, compared with last year. The largest gains were made at Duluth, Minneapolis and Milwaukee, all other markets. Including Chicago, Toledo, St Louis and Kansas City, falling short of the receipts of the previous year. Weekly shipments of flour at Minneapo lis averages 209.658 barrels for the first 22 week3 of this year, compared with 270.042 barrels In 1901 and 330.377 barrels in 1200. The trunk-Hno shipments eastward from Chicago and Chicago points show the us ual high average In provision shipments, in contrast -with continued shrinkage in the volume of grain and flour traffic. Livestock receipts at five Western mar kets In May amounted to 2.2S2.S03 head, and for five months, ending with May, to 12,502,505 head, compared with 13.213,923 head In 1S01 and 12.G3.0S7 head in 1900. The receipts of hogs at Chicago alone for these five months were 3.699,343 head, and ex ceeded the entire receipts of anjKyear at that market prior to 1872. The growth of receipts of sheep to the end of May of this year at Chicago is shown by the fact that the number exceeded any entire year's receipts prior to 1SS8. The advantage of the early opening of lake navigation Is apparent Receipts of freight at 1S3 different points have thus far amounted to 6,795,401 tons, compared with 3,034,601 tons for cne corresponding period of 1901, ehowlng a gain of 72.7 per cent. Much of this Increase Is in iron ore shipments from upper lake ports, which have already amounted to 5,113,979 tons. During May, 3,342,940 ton3 were carried down the lakep. In contrast with 1,172,532 tons in May. 1901, and 2,523,962 tons for May, 1SO0. The main streams of traffic between tho Interior and the Atlantic seaboard consist of grain, flour and provisions, which reach tidewater at the ports of Boston, New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. For this year, to the end of May, these four ports show arrivals of 81.797,536 bushels, Including flour and meal reduced to bu3n els. For the corresponding period of 1901 the receipts were 142,697,371 bushels. There has, therefore, been a shrinkage amount ing to 42 per cent in this year's grain an rivals at the Atlantic seaboard for these -four markets. Taking New Orleans and Galveston shipments combined for com parison with Atlantic seaboard receipts at Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, there has been a decrease at these Gulf ports from 50,229,139 bushels in 190,1 to 20,069,709 bushels in 1902, or 40 per cent. Coastwise shipping at Philadelphia for the five months endlpg with May reports a total of 14S5 vessels, and the number arriving In foreign trade as 513 vessels, making a total of 1998 vessels. Of tha vessels engaged In foreign trade, 40 were American and 473 foreign In nationality. At New York 3030 coastwise arrivals wero reported to the end of May, and 1701 for eign arrivals, making a total of 4731 ves sels. At Baltimore the April arrivals of vessels In domestic and foreign trade amounted to S93, of which 823 were In tho coasting trade, and 70 In the foreign trade. In the coasting trade, coal shipments are a prominent feature in the supply of Atlantic scacoast cities from the great tidewater ports of distribution. During April New York and vicinity shipped 847, 410 tons to seaboard and river towna. Philadelphia sent 346,012 tons (two out of three leading carriers reporting) and Bal timore shipped 153,693 tons. Trade In the South and Southwest may be best measured by comparison of tha cotton, the lumber, the phosphate, tha iron and the petroleum shipments. Re ceipts of cotton In sight for the first nine months of this crop year were 9,852,273 balea, thus exceeding the receipts of each of tho two preceding years. The bulk of this traffic always moves to tidewater, 7.334.598 bales having arrived at flea board points out of the above total, the overland shipments kere 1,037, 052 hales, and the Southern mill-takings 1.C9S.000 bales. This year's mlll-taklhga within Southern territory were the larg est In the history of the cotton trade. Yellow pine lumber shipments from the Southwest for four months ending with April of this year amounted to S70.387.1C6 feet, compared with 7G0.02S.844 feet last year. In the Southern Iron trade this year to the end of May. 827.409 tons of pig iron, iron pipe, and small quantities of steel were shipped from producing sec tions. During the corresponding period of 1901 the total was 673,674 tons. Phosphate shipments, mainly from Southern sea ports, reached a total of, 431,696 tons, com pared with 333.6S3 tons for the first five months of 1901. This year's shipments of petroleum from the Beaumont field, by rail, to May 21. were 32,233 cars of 5,237.863 barrels. Shipments by water In May. mostly to coastwise destinations, amount ed to 403,706 barrels through Galveston, Port Arthur, and Sabine Pass. The coal trade during May reports an thracite shipments to the nmount of 1.70S, 892 tons, compared with 4,693,562 tons dur ing May. 1901. and 3,833.097 during May, 1900. For the five months ending with May the anthracite coal movement this year reached a total of 1S.731.8SO tons, com, pared with 22.6S0.2O1 tons In 1901. and 1S.200. 296 tons in 19C0. The average weekly ship ments of Connell3vllle coke for 22 weeks ending with May of this, year were U.056 tons, against 10.519 tons for the corre sponding period of 1901. The Pennsylvania Bureau of Mines haa reported 59,684,133 tons of anthracite as the rroductlon of eight districts of that sta for the year 1901. of which 53,447,900 tons, or 9.6 per cent of the total produc tion, was shipped from the mines during that year. Fraudulent Historic Tablets. London Times. Mr. Algernon Ashton writes from 44 Hamilton Gardens, St. John'3 Wood: "Tip to midsummer last year there stood a house In Gerrard street bearing a Society of Arts tablet, with the Inscription: 'John Dryden, poet, lived here. Born, 1631; died, 1700.' This memorable -building, one of London's most cherished literary land marks, was then ruthlessly demolished and a hideous and wanton aot of vandal ism thereby committed, as the house wa3 a handsome and strongly-built one, show ing no sign of decay whatever. A few days ago I happened to be passing down Gerrard street again, vihen, to my ut most surprise and disgust, I noticed that on the site of Dryden's old dwelling-house not only was there erected a Jerry-buHt monstrosity, but the same old memorial tablet affixed onto the brand new wall. This is, unhappily, not the only Instance of a house bearing a tablet statin; that a certain great man lived there when he never did Hvo there, a3 the fraudulent tablets to Hpgarth In Leicester Square, to Turner In Queen Anne street, Maryle bone, and to Byron In Holies street amply testify. It i3 an insane practice, and ought to be stopped forthwith, as it only tends to entirely mislead future genera tions, -who will naturally believe these houses to be the actual historical ones." Tho superior flavor of cane sugar over that from the beet gives it an advantage in the world's markets of about half a i cent a pound.
