B 3 294 Eleven year B'lt'm’re MIw'k'e AMERICAN HORSES WIN | Yankee Stables Do Well in For- eign Lands This Year. | Many Turfmen Legislated Out of New‘ York Returning Home to Spend | Winter—Vanderbilt and Gould | Head List of Winners. | Many turfmen who were legls]atefi‘ out of New York state and driven abroad are about to return home, at the close of the foreign racing season, and pay their native country a vislt\ in the idle winter months. Taken as & whole, the American racing contm-J gent has prospered exceedingly, d‘ one and all write in glowing terms of | the king of sports as conducted in forw elgn countries. 'W. K. Vanderbilt and Frank J. Gould are easlly ahead of their compeers in the list of winmmg owners in| France, and their racing establlsh-. ments are spoken of as the most perm fect of their kind to be found in any country, Herman B, Duryea, who has' just finished his first season on the French turf, has only eight horses in| his stable, trained by the American Murphy, who was formerly forema: 1in the stable of David Gideon. All of his number are winners, rome of them | having also won races at the principal English meetings. Gene Leigh still has the largest stable in France, 130 horses being housed in his barns. Tha majority of these are not of the stake varlety, but at that they have won a large number of races. Tom Welgh took possession of hig new training quarters for J. B. Wideny er, and with a few winners to begin with and half a score of high priced yearlings, bought under Welsh’s supery vision at the fall sales, will in all| probability cut a prominent figure among the big winners of next seas son. The reports which have come ta hand with regard to the Widener esy tablishment have been somewhat exs aggerated, but Welsh himself writes his training quarters are as good ad could be desired, with accommodasy tions for 30 horses, and have been leased by Widener for a term of years. From Germany also, came encourags ing reports of the doings of American trainers. Jimmy McCormick had & successful season, and has the lions| share of big stake events to his credit.| When in this country last winter he predicted he would have the strongest stable in Germany with the exception of that owned by Kaiser Wilhelm, and his hopes were realized. He pros cured the services of three jockeys ‘when here, but they by no means rode to his satisfaction, and proved to be great disappointments, so much so that he put up others in their places in many instances. Fred Taral has| been engaged to train the stable of A. & W.Von Weinberg next year. They are the leading owners of the German turf. This is the stable which recent- 1y was trained by Sam Darling, a son of the English trainer, and previous to him by George Walker, the Amer« fean trainer. ‘Willie Shaw, the Amer- ican jockey, had a successful season, and is regarded as the best rider on the German turf, his mounts being in demand fully as much as in the haly cyon days when he rode the horses ol Plttshu!‘g Phil. ~Just as we expected, the Pacifio Coast league is threatening to become an outlaw organization if it is ot 2o . with the Cubs another year at the “Philadelphia _Americans; corded what it wishes, Clubs. 1904 | 1905 | 1906 | 1907 | 1908 | 1909 | 1910 | 1911 | ave.

Philadelphia has recovered from its world’s series hilarity and lapsed into its usual state of coma. Every wrestling manager and train- er has the greatest “find” in the uni- verse if he is “only given a chance.” Gotch says Zbyszko’s $10,000 chal- lenge is bunk, pure and simple. This is the way we feel about all wres- | tling. One grand thing about these col- lege squabbles over eligibility is the way an alumnus sticks to his alma mater, 1f the dark lantern were turned on all records of star football players how many would escape a baseball eligibility requirement? Minor league- baseball moguls will help make Mlwaukee more famous than ever before next season when they assemble in that city. If a team can't beat its rival it might make a winning move by hiring a detective to see whether all the stars of its opponent are eligible. Although Jack Sheridan is through with umpiring, Ban Johnson says Jack 1s a valuable man for the American league. Why not make him a mag- nate? Zbyszko will give Gotch “$10,000 to wrestle him around the mat to a fin- Ish.” Zipis one of the richest ath- letes in the world and is terribly am- bitious.

Talking canaries are-a great rarity, but several authenticated inslunces,nre on record. At Norwood, England, 1858 a lady had a canary bird which began by repeating a word which fts mistress had often used to it—“Kissie, kisste”—and by following the word' uji by an imitation of the sound of a kiss. After a time the bird repeated other words until it had a large vocabulary of phrases, one of which ‘consisted of five words. = Again, in 1863, a talking canary was exhibited in Bath, with a vocabulary such as'is generally taught to parrots, and another talking canary was exhibited for-a few weeks in this country, but it unfortunately caught cold and died. In Germany and the Tyrol canaries are taught to imitate the notes of other birds and whistle simple ‘tunes, and the words whichit imitates may be regarded as a mere development or variant of its musical notes. , The Lerot and the Snake, Every one has beard of the remarka- ble combats of the Indian mongoose with venomous snakes. ln -which little rikki-tikki-tavi comes off .victor. The fact that the moungoose invariably sur- vives has led to the suggestion that it is immune to snake poison. Other ani mals said to be immune-are the pix and the hedgehog. The experiments of British naturalists show that .an animal of the dormouse family must be added to the list of the immune. ‘This animal is known as the lerot and is said to fight fiercely with vipers. Large doses of viper's poison were in- jected into one lerot, from which in Jjectioti no ill effects followed. “On one occasion a-lerot was bitten badly in the eye by a viper, and no signs of poisoning occurred.’ There can, it is thought, be no doubt that the lerot is immune to snake poison.

Historic Spot at Ems, On the riverside promenade at ‘Ems there i3 a stone inscribed: “18 Jull, 1870, 9 Uhr 10 Min. ‘Morgens.” ' This marks the exact spot where Wilhelm I. and Count Benedetti terminated the inter- view which led the French to dectare war.. Affer the Franco-Prussian war the old emperor often returned to Ems, On one occasfon his doctor mentioned that the municipality wished to com- wemorate the interview with Benedet- #l, which they considered -the most memorabie event in the annals of the town.. He was instructed to meet the emperor on the promenade by the Lahn at 6 a. m. the following day. Wil- helm then said: “During my lifetime let nothing be erected to recall that sorrowful struggle.

The Wonders of Color. A small and simple experiment can be made by any reader which will go tar to convince him or her what a debf we owe to color and what a good thing it is we have sunlight. which enables our eyes to take advantage of the beautiful hues of nature. Make a {room quite dark and then burn some carbonate of soda in the flame of a bunsen gas burner. It will burn with an orange yellow light sufficiently strong to illuminate everything in the room, but you will realize with a sud- den shack that, bright though the light is, all distinctions of color have van- ished. Only light and shade remain. A crimson carnation, a blue violet, a red tablecloth, a yellaw blind—all look gray or black or white. The faces of those present look positively repulsive, | for all. natural color has disappeared. No other experiment will so well con- vince those who have witnessed it how great a loss wouid be that of our sense for color. The Church of Sf.
