In special report of the Department of Agriculture to be issued tomorrow some im- Portant statements regarding the ramie ques- tion are made from advices just received from Mexico, where the government is conducting ramie experiments. It is stated that a ma- chine and process invented by Mr.W. T. Forbes of Georgia has shown under rigidtests a capac- ity of one and one-quarter tons of ramic per working day, and that the fiber can be cleaned and degummed at a cost of about four and seven-tenths cents per pound. Charles Richards Dodge, in charge of the de- partment fiber investigations, says that if these results can be assured after the company has begun to produce the fiber in commercial quantity we are nearer a solution of the de- corticator question than ramie experts have dared to hope. “In the past thirty years hun- dreds of thousands of dollara have been spent by inventors in all parts of the world in the effort to produce a practically economical de- corticator. The plant grows to perfection in the gulf states and in California, producing two and three crops a year without replanting. WHAT RAMIE 18, Ramie is a plant belonging to the nettle family, which from time immemorial has been cultivated in China and known to botanists by the name Bahmeria nivea, frequently called the stingiess nettle. It is also known as “China "and “Khea.” Ithas long been culti- vated also in Japan, in Java, Borneo, Sumatra and in the East Indies, and during the present century has been introduced into other coun- tries. ‘Its introduction into the United States dates back to the yeur 1855. When fully grown the plant attains a height of four to eight feet,clothed with large leaves that are green above and whitish or silvery beneath, the fiber being formed in the bark which sur- rounds the stalk, this having a pithy center. It is of rapid growth and produces from two to four, or even five, crops a year without replant- ing, dependent upon the ‘climate where cuiti- vated. In China and Japan, where the fiber is extracted by hand labor, it is manufactured not only into cordage, ‘fish-iines, nets and similar coarse manufactures, but woven into the “finest | and | most beautiful ot fab rics, England, France an many the fiber has also been woven into a great va- riety of fabrics, covering the widest range of uses, such as lace, lace curtains, handkerchiefs, cloth or white gapds resembling fine linen, dress goods, napkins, table damask, table cov- ers, bed spreads, drapery for curtains or lam- brequins, plush and even teand fabrics suitable ‘for clothing. ‘The fiber can be dyed in all desirable shades or colors, some examples having the luster aud brilliancy of silk It is one of the strongest and most durable of fi is least atfected by moisture of all fibers an from these characteristics must take first rank in value as a textile substance. It has three times the strength of Russian hemp, while its filaments can be separated almost to tie Bneness of silk. In manulscture it has been spun on various forms of textile and also used in connection with cotton, wool and silk, aud it can be employed as a substitute in certain forms of manufacture, where elastic- ity is not essential, for all of these textiles, and for flax also. It likewise produces superior Paper, and can be utilized in the man of fuloid.

Talk about horse sense. You should have seon those horses yesterday. THE INFIELD was surrendered to the carriages and there was # fine vehicular exhibition in that department. ‘The owners and occupants of many remained in them as they stood, but the grand stand was the magnet that drew almost everything to it snd emptied many of those luxuriant appoint- ments on wheels. The coachmen, in all the pomp and panoply of their class, remained on their boxes or about their charges, however, and enjoyed the sentiment of the occasion with that elegant ease so becoming to coachman in the upper circles. om! TRE ax. The platform between the paddock and the betting shed was an array of masculine beauty seldom witnessed outside of a court reception in the days of the barbaric splendor of the Orient. There were suits ‘of ald gold, there were suits of silver gray, there were suits of dark browns and somber black; there were shoes of patent leather, plain leather and of russet in several shades; there were silk hate 4 derby hats and soft’ hats and black hats and gray hats and straw bate; thero were spat- lots of White aud yellow; nd oh! i A ow amore than tweet The ide Of a dear, ieichttul dudclets In the spatiets that are white; there were canes large and small; there were gloves of light red and dark red;’ there were neckties of the latest design and the most beautifal finish, and there were nether gar- ments to make an Apollo Belvidere wish that Art had been such a tailor to him. A pair of Dumblanes, for instance, cut ona balloon pattern as close at the kuee as the bark on a tree and inflated at the top likea Farmers’ Alliance idea of currency. It was also notice- able that the gentlemen who wore trousers bad them turned up, though the platform was not muddy, while the gents in pants did not have them turned up. Asan entirety it wasa sight to rivet the yearning eyes of a fashionable belle to the spot and keep them there forever. Under the betting shed there was a sound of revelry from three stands, and the money fiew fast and furious, as it were. The judges’ observation tower was the finest place on the grounds to be looked at, and themen in it hada perfect cinch on their’ compatriots in the herd below. ‘This is one reason why only the best looking men in the club are put up as judges. RACES AND Warts. The races themselves were delightful, but the waits between acte were long enough for a man to go clear down town, get a drink, eat a clove, join a temperance society and return to business. And the scenery, which is one of the attractions of Ivy City, does not have to be changed very often either. When the orchestra played “We Won't Go Home Till Morning” there was awild burst of laughter and ap- plause, and the orchestra was given the first prize and all the gate money. Everybody was in a good humor, bowever, and nobody wanted to rise up and kick the vital statistics out of the management. lu fact there wasn't any manage- ment. One man suggested that they ought to have two rings, so that while one was waiting the people could see the horses go round in the otier. But this was impracticable. When the horses and their weil-known riders did appear, though, there was terrific enthusiasm and the grand stand chook from turret to foundation stone. The horses were looking very well, and their jockeys in silk and color were very be- coming to them. Tt was a great day for Dumbjane, and if the weather comes up smiling tomorrow there will bea greater dav, and the glory of Dumblane Will be established as immutable as the everlast- ing hills. ‘The races were as follows: THE FIVE RACES. Leaving social considerations out of the question the five races, looked at purely from racing standpomt, were generally satisfac~ tory. Mogul was the hero of the day, winning two races in exceedingly clever style, due, at any rate in the first event, to the skillfal riding and judgment of Mr. Ryder, who had the mount. Mr. Ryder again proved his excellence asa pilot of fast nage. He exrried Mogul un- der the wire twice a winner, and on Mr. Neville’s The Rat was only beaten by Cart- eret by a nose. The heavy-weight steeplechase was rather a curious race, from some cause or other the favorite, Neptune, failing to do anything what- ever in the race, although the horse came strongly when the stretch was reached, and paved under the wire running freely.” ‘The Taces were not marred by a single fall or acci- dent of any kind.

Shephert’s Return—Personal Notes of Interest, Mrs. Alexander R. Shepherd bas been for two weeks out at ber count plece, Bleak House. Her journey home from Bal Mexico, was an eventful one. When she there about two months or #0 ago, accom- panied by her daughter, Miss Grace a, ‘and her two young sons, ebe naturally thought that after having accomplished the and tiresome Journey from there to uabue the most of it was over. Of the eight days im this part of the trip three were spent riding om mules across the mountains, where the pathway is only wide enough for a single file of there sure- footed auimals, and five more in a wagon train. dirs. Sbepherd's intention in coming home at this time was to place her young sons in school down at Sewanee, in the mountainous region of Tennessee. When she reached Memphis the Youngest boy, Conness, about thirteen years old, grew sick, and the doctor pronounced his illuess to be scarlet fever. It was here that Mrs. Shepherd's real troubles began. The hotel where she was stopping would not give ber further shelter because of the tear of contagion from the fever. She left that house, sought another, only to go through the same inhospitable treatment, and then was compelled to hire a private residence, paying five months’ rent for one month's use. in spite of ail these drawbacks—the worries and annoyances of keeping house in « strange locality and the many obstacles thrown in her way—she nursed her little boy back to health and strength. The party remained in Mempb until all fear of any poutible contagion ‘was over. Mrs. Shepherd was then able to carr} out & part of her original intention and her son Grant at school at Sewanee. Mr. an Mrs. Quintard and their children are now with Mrs. and Miss Shepherd ana Master Conness at Bleak House, and the troubles and worries of their journey home have been forgotten in the happiness of the reassembling there. Mrs. Romero went to New York yesterday morning and will be away about a week. Mrs. Porter, widow of the admiral, will «pend the summer with her daughter, Mrs. Logan, at Jamestown. She intends torent her present residence and will take a much smaller house in this city for her future home.
