Racing at Upper Marlboro’. ‘Tho Prince George's Fair Association will be opened at Upper Marlboro’ during the present year. This association has purchased a large tract of land, about 150 acres, and the grounds afford one of the finest sites for a race track that could be selected in that section of the country. Notable horsemen from Gloucester race track have visited the locality and recom- mended such changes in the engineer's work as will perfect the grounds. Already two race tracks have been surveyed—one for fint racing and the other for steeplechases. The former is oblong and the latter of kite shape. The fair grounds on the east side border on the Pope's Creek line of the Baltimore and Potomac rail- road, about forty-five minutes’ ride from Wash- ington and one hour from Baltimore. ‘The new Washington and Chesapeake road brings the locality within twelve miles of the capital. early spring of southern Mary- land offers every inducement for racing, and the late fall still remains when the severe win- ter weather begins in other localities. The Ideal Racing Cyclist. The ideal racing man has often been de- seribed by wheelmen and no two descriptions haveever agreed. Mr. Joseph McDermott in his speech at the Sporting Life banquet re- cently referred to the racer in these words: “I will attempt to give vou my ideal without fol- lowing any model and without in any way in- tending to reflect ufon any one. I would like him to have a good igure, large of bono, plenty of muscle, good lungs and heart. strong limbs and a good head on his shoulders, and in that head brains. I don't believe the oli adage that God never gave sense and speed to the same person. I should like my ideal to have a good clear eye and proper-shaped nasal and auricular organs, and a mouth 80 shaped as to always say the thing at the proper time. mouth is the hardest part of a racing man to fix. The picture Ihave drawn of the other parts of the racing man is to be found in any of the fast racers, but it has been my experience to find the mouth fixed in but s very few.” A Ran on the Frozen Schuylkill. “John Cope, ex-captain of the Norristown (Pa.) Wheelmen, and William Hiltner per- formed an interesting feat Inst week on skates and bicycle,” says the Bulletin. “They were looking around for some new sort of enter- tainment, when one of them proposed a trip to Beading on the ice. “The other assented and off they went, Cope mounted on his bicycle and Hiltner on. skates. Cope dragged bis coraparion the entire dis- tance, They were compelled to walk around the dams and in doing this they walked altogether about five miles. During the trip they passed over some dangerous places and at Pheenixville came near taking “Hiltner broke through once, but the mo- mentam of the bicycle to which he clung pulled binf out. “The venturesome riders were within two stations of Reading when darkness settled over them and they were compelled to leave the ico and take a train for Reading. They arrived home the next day.” A New Pneumatic Tire. All wheelmen agree that the pneumatic tire is the tire of the future, and there are so many different patterns now that the rider ean select the kind which best suits his fancy. Last year pneumatic tire could not be procured upon a moment's notice, but now there is so much competition and’ so many patterns that the rider will have no trouble about them. One of the latest tires in the market is the air-tight tire, which is put on the wheel withont the use of cement or fastening, and it is easily re- moved. ufacturers of the various kinds of course claim that theirs is the best, and so the wheelmen think thats trial is the only con- vineing argument. A Good Year for Cycling. “I expect this will be the best year in cycle circles that this city has ever seen,” says Harry Higham. “I jndgo that from the orders that are being placed in the big manufactories.”” “How about the weight of wheels?” he was ‘Oh, well,” he re the old firms are still making wheels at a weight to insure safety, while some of the younger ones are going below the low-water mark and are making the wheele entirely too light.” While the prospects for a larger number of wheels on tho road this season are bright, it is likely that several race meets will occur during the season, although last year's racing prove rather expensi a ee Reinterment of Jefferson Davis.

Passing Away of an Accomplished and Lovely Woman. ALTMQUGH A FATAL END OF BER ILL¥ESS HAD BEEN PREDICTED, YET WHEN IT CAME IT WAS A GREAT SHOCK—AEMINISCENCES OF BEB LIFE IN WASHINGTON. Mrs. Whitney, the wife of ex-Becretary of the Navy Whitney, died of heart trouble at 8 o'clock yesterday morning at the residence of her husband, No. 2 West 57th etreet, New York. For years Mre. Whitney had evinced symp- toms of heart trouble. Slight attacks of ill- ness from this cause frequently startled her ‘and occasioned her family grave anxiety. For abont three weeks the patient had been guarded from disturbing influences and almost entirely confined to her bed. She was con- stantly attended by the family Dr. Charles McLean. On the night before the at- tack that was the beginning of her fatal illness Mra. Whitney gave one of the dinner dances ‘that are the fashionable fad of this season. She Sete ene an ee xcitement an: a fertainment of her large party superinduced e sttack. ‘A week ago Saturday evening a sinking spell occasioned Str, Whitney's family and friends the utmost concern. their fears had grown almost unbearable she rallied, By Dr. McLean's advice Mr. Whitney called in Dr. Charles McBurney, the specialist on heart troubles. Mrs. Whitney's physician realized Saturday morning that the end was very near, but she rallied somewhat during the afternoon, and at midnight her husband and children, who were watching by her bedside, were informed that she would surely live until daybreak. Dr. MeLean and Dr. McBurney let the house after committing their patiént to the charge of her trained nurses, and the lights were turned down in the sick chamber. ‘The quick eye of one of the nurses detected » fatal change at Yan_minutes before 8 o'clock, The family gtily summoned, and at 3 o'clock Mrs, Whitney passed quietly away, un- conscious ha — a aon Dorothy, Mrs. Whitney's youngest daughter, eas the only one of the childrem absent “when the end came. Telegraphic messages of condolence poured in all day. AN of Mr. Whitney's associates of Clevelan + cabinet, nearly every member of the United States Senate, President-elect Cleveland and Sir Jnlian Pauncefote were among those who telegraphed. MOURNING IX WASHINGTON. Itenn be said very truthfully of Mrs, Whit- ney that there are none who knew her but who also deeply mourn her death. Mrs. Whitney was a brilliant woman. Comparatively a merged from private life to become a Indy of the cabinet circle, she camo to this city with a limited acquaintance and left it the most sought after and the most ad- mired woman who has ever figured here in official life. + It took more than her wealth to bring about this state of things. That she was queenly in her conception of what official entertaining meant, and almost prodigal in carrying out all her ideas, everybody understands, but the fact that all she did was dictated by a genuine good- heartedness and a wish that all might enjoy what it was 60 easy for her to purchase made what she did a pleasure in every sense. If society in this city went into real mourning to- day and retired absolutely from the gay round it would be only the tribute which she deserved at its hands, but one which she would be last to expect or desire. No cabinet home or, in fact, any other official or private residence in this city had ever before witnessed the lavish style of entertaining for which she set the fashion. There seemed no limit to her ingenuity in keeping society mov- ing at a given pace, but there was also no limit toher bounty to those whose share of this world’s goods was small. HER CHARITABLE Wonk. All the charities which fashion ordinarily looks out for received new impetus from her helping, and her benefactions to the many more that had no social indorsement wore just as generous, Her private charities, of which no word was spoken on either side, were in keeping with her big heert and kindly thought of the poorest. Her superb health here was a matter of fre- juent remark. There was scarcely a day when she had not indulged by noon in a long walk or horseback ride. HER HOME AT GRASSLANDS. She encouraged ail the out-door amusements, and her life at Grasslands, where the simpler pleasures of a country house were a welcome relief after the drawing room attractions be- came a little trite, was often referred to by her as a great enjoyment. ‘Mr. Whitney was just as fond of it as hei and it was their custom to goont there with the children for their Christmas and New Year din- ners, In the spring Grasslands was the vendez- Yous of all their friends after their late drives. On the dase of the paper chases the social world thronged the old-fashioned mansion, and none were happier than the host and hostess. The dates of the important social occasions in her own houke when Mre. Whitney was mak- ing the private residents of the, until then, staid capital wonder at her magnificent hospi- tality, are events never to be obliterated in the minds of those taking part in them. There are hundreds now figuring prominently in society who bad never seen her, and to whom the mere mention of her name will never cease to excite terest. rs, Whitney's dinners and Inncheons fol- lowed each other in rapid succession. She was the first to make tho after-dinner dance and the main for the after-midnight dance, and to this number was always added many others to whom she knew the unexpected invitation would give unbounded delight. Her tables were always Jaden with the best food and drink that money could buy. There was no discrimination, all fared the same. CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENTS. The christening tea for Baby Dorothy on Easter Monday, 1887, was an event such as Washington had not wit nessed up to that date. | The Christmas tree party the winter before on Christmas eve for little friends of her chiJ- dren and the no less picturesque scenes enacted when the children of St. John's Orphanage were the guests a few days after are samples of the contrast which the famous ball room at her Totrect house have witnessed. WHERE MRS. POTTER WAS MADE FAMOUS. In this ball room Mra, James Brown Potter, then in the heyday of her suocess as an amateur actress, recited the poem which created for her such notoriety that her future career bo- longed to the public. Mrs. Whityey left Washington with intense regret, but was as firmly decided never again to return here as an official resident. Her extreme self- ion could not stand the strain to which her friends subjected it the lastfew days after the 4th of March, 1889. The good-byes were tenderly said, but they burt acutely. They were probably the only sad moments she had in Leo lag he ooo neem ing throug! rooms with » friend, she said: next occupant of this house y bome in it as thas been for us.” ey In this wish she has been amply gratified. No family in the Brosant cabinet has though more kindly of the queen of the Cleveland ‘MRS, WHITNEY NEVER RETURNED.

Whitney's father and mother are still living in Cleveland, but their advanced age will forbid their presence. ‘The body will be laid in Woodlawn beside that of Mrs. Whitney's little daughter, who died fn Paris in 1883, ‘MRS, WHITNEY'S LIFE. ‘Mrs. Flora Payne Whitney was the daughter of ex-United States Senator Henry B. Payne of Cleveland, Ohio. She was born in Cleveland boat my ie di ago and there her earliest were met William C. Whitney about twenty- five ago. He was at-that time a lawyer of little reputation and comparatively ‘no means. He was conscientious in his devotion to duty and soon made for himself a place at the bar of New See state. Their acquaintance soon ripened into love and their marriage fol- lowed not long after. Soon after the marriage Col. Payne gave his sister the magnificent house at 57th strect and 5th avenue, which.had pre- viously been occupied by the Stevens family. Mrs. Whitney was an accomplished musician, and the musical recitals frequently given in ‘their city home were always eagerly welcomed, In 1885, after Mr. Cleveland had been inaugu- rated President and Wiliam C. Whitney had been chosen Secretary of the Navy, Mrs. Whit- ney at once took prominent part in the social ife in Washington. In ber home Mrs. Whitney was s kind and affectionate mother and wife, never. forgetting ‘the duties she owed to her family. Four children were born to the Whitneya. The only son, Henry Payne Whitney, is an under- S = _ Soy ege. a ‘auline gn: thy, wre aged respectiv eighteen and eight years. = Although about ‘forty-six years of age Mrs. Whitney's hair was prematurely white. Her face retained s great mesure of the youthful freshness and sweetness that characterized it when she was married to Mr. Whitney, then hard-working lawyer of moderate income and scarcely any means, a score of years ago. ‘The aequisition of @ Newport cottage con- summAted the match between society and the family who were destined to benofit it by a Jong succession of pleasing occasions and brill- | iant affairs. The friendship of the Clevelands and the ‘Whitneys never abated since it was first firmly fixed. During her fatal illness Mrs. Whitne welfare occasioned no one more earnest solici- tude, ontside of those to whom she was bound by Kinship, than to Mr. and irs. Grover Cleve- ———_+ e+ ____ A LETTER FROM HAWAII. The Queen Said to Have Been Rad All Through and Bound to Rule or Ruin. ‘Theodore Richards, now the literary editor of an Amorican magazine, but for many years resident of Honolulu, has received from one of the most most prominent American mer- chants of Hawaii, says the New York Times, the following letter, which not only corroborates the accounts of the Hawaiian commissioners of the revolution, but furnishes an interesting in- side view of the troubies on the islands. A sentence near the clore of the letter wonld seem to indicate that not annexation alone but protection or anuexation was in the minds of the Honolulu merchants when the commission was sent from there. The letter is as follows: Hoxonvte, Jan, 18, 1893. You will have had telegraphic news some days before this reaches you of the revolution that has taken place here, and the complete change of government since Saturday Inst. Only one man bas been injured so far, and this person was a policeman who attempted to stop a wagon with guns and ammunition. The man in charge shot the policeman to save the wagou and its contents. Fortunately, although shot through the lungs, Dr. Wood tells me he will recover. The times have been stirring, and many hours were anxious ones, for the thing came all at once. There had been many rumors, but they were not believed, and the people were un- prepared. However, the mass meeting on Mon- day afternoon showed the temper of the people tothe committee of safety. They went right ahead, and the people of all classes and nation- alities’ responded. The provisional government was formed, good men of different nationalities and creeds were selected, the military was organized, and today ft is in full possession without blood- shed. The late queen forfeited all her rights when she attempted by a coup d'etat to force a new constitution on the country. She bad been de- feated in the legislature on the call for a con- stitutional convention and so tried to have her own constitution by force. Ske had just previonsly (the day before) signed three infamous bills, the opium license bill, the distillery bill and the lottery bill. All had been bitterly opposed, and would have been defeated had they been pushed earlier in the session, but the first reading created so great an ontery that they were kept back, and then sprung on a small legislature. Many of the best members had become weary of the long eight months’ session and were forced to go home to look after their own long-neglected affairs. You will see in the papers which I send you the action of the chamber of commerce on the lottery bill. But all was of no use. The queen was bad all through. She was bound to rule as a Kamehameha—absolute—or ruin. She did not understand quite the temper of the for- eigners who were not her immediate ndvisers and hence made a huge mistake and has lost her | crown and kingdom. The foreigners will have no more irresponsible native rule. ‘This whole revolution ia the result of the action of the queen and her evil native counsel- ors. Nowoman ever hada better chance in the world, but, being bad in heart, she must rrect not only herself, but her family or irs. Some of the finest natives on the islands —men like Kauhanne, Josepa, Kaubi and others —sympathize in this revolution, and already a petition is being circulated inthe native tongue asking for annexation to the United States, ‘The Portuguese are all with us and have a company on guard. There is a German guard | ‘as well, 80, you gee, the movement is not one of Americans only, although they lead. ‘The American minister was thoroughly posted in all that was going on, and, at our reqnest, or- dered troops on shore from the Bostoh to pro- tect American property.
