In the first and third races the horses were ridden by boys who had never ridden a winner, $10 going to the successful jockey. In the first race Tinkler was the best off at the start and Gisbourne kept him in front all the way. In this race South Africa and Little Land ran for about half a mile on a false start. In the second race Miss Order beat out Sir Christopher by a head, the latter being at all sorts of pric: The third race should have been easily won by Trillo, the 1 to 2 favorite, but Carter was too confident and Judge Wardell got the best of him by a length. Roysterer took the fourth race, and the fith went to Kinnickinic. One of the smallest gatherings of the meeting was present, the weather being very cold and the sport but fairly interestin The fol- lowing is a summary of the da’ g First race, six furiongs—Tinkler, 93 (Gis bourne), 4 to 1, won; Fetiche, 84 (Weiss), 8 to 1, second; Saratoga, 49 (Caldwell, 2 to 1, third.

The annual Thanksgiving race of the Washington district of the National Fed- eration of Homing Pigeon Fanciers took place from Quantico, Va., last Sunday twenty-four birds belonging to twelve mem- bers being liberated by Mr. E. V. Kong at 10:15 a.m, Considering the strong wind against which the birds had to fly and the fact that but few of the birds had any previous training, the speed made is very creditable. The average speed of the first return to each member fs as follows: First, T. A. Walshe, 845 yards; second, F. E. Young, S40 yards; third, Jas. Garner, %2 yards; fourth, F. Dismer, 823 yards; fifth, C. F. Hengesbach, 804 yards; sixth, E. L. Barclay, 792 yards; seventh, J. H. Palmer, 791 yard: P. Kraus, 745 yards; ninth, 6 yards; tenth, J. Vierkorn, 676 eleventh, James Beardsley, 305 yards; J. T. Eiker, no re- turns. ‘The first four members are the winners of the turkeys, and Mr. Beardsley is en- titled to the duck. Mr. Vicrkorn’s low position in the race was caused by the stopping of his timing machine after he had reported at the club rooms. iN CHESS CIRCLES. In the local chess tourney O'Farrell con- tinues his long lead. There is no pros of heading him, as his games with Harris, his most likely competitor, are both played, each winning one. He is playing fine chess just at this time. It ought to be noted in passing that when Herr Fiebig was in town some weeks since and cleaned out the locals except Mr. Hanna—as was noted at the time—the captain had one sitting of two games with the sharp-witted German and won both. The standing in the tourney to date is as follows: 4 Campbell Eeydler. 5 Prender. 4 Kay By Hodges. 5 Sedman.

Rice, an ex-presi- dent of the Manhattan of New York, and the inventor of the Rice gambit, one of the mest intricate and harassing attacks known to the game. He regaled the mem- bers who gathered around the board at which he had commenced a game with Mr. Adair by showing them the answers to va- rious moves at different stages, ‘seemingly very threatenirg.

Yet the answers being there, seemed to cost no greater ef- fort than the others. It exemplified, like all masier efforts at the game do, its ex- treme flexibility, showing how master ef- by master effort; at the who haven't had a fe game, can, -with- at iit: week’, out wasting a ®ray matter, amuse themselves—and ‘maybe those who look on— with no more effort than any trifling game. with no skill in it at its best; yet laying away in some recess of their minds » little experience for future use.

When Mr. Will Lyons wag in the city 1. winter as secreiary to Senator Debor Kentucky he related one e ing an perience of Laskér when he played a multaneous” in Cincinnati. One of the players had secreted a book of openings on his knees under the table and when Lasker moved on his board and passed along he would hunt up the answer. Lasker had both eyes onen and took in the situation. “What is this you have?” asked Lask peering over the table. “Ah! Cook's Ana ysis," and making an odd-looking move he ejaculated, “See if you can find an answer to that!” Another story—one on Steinitz—is to the effect that after a recent tourney he gave exhibitions of sinmultaneous in some of the German cities. In one instance Lasker, as a prank, had himself included in the pla ers. By the time the game was get! ng well opened Steinitz had spotted that board as the one he had to look after. After a subtle move he looked first at the move to catch ail its bearings and then concluded to take a look the player. Sitting there with beth han covering his face and a big slouch hat over all Lasker never budged an eyelash. Pulling off the hat and some fingers out of the way the old man, with a grin at the champion, toppled over his king as a sign of defeat The following is another game from Morphy’s great feat in Paris, playing elght players at one time without sight of board. ‘The game in The Star of Friday week was the prettiest of the lot, but this one is but little inferior.

The talking machine which. reports from Paris state is to be heard by 10,000 people at once at the Paris exposition has been completed. A private exhibition of this re- markable talking.machine was given this week at the offices of the American Grapho- phone Company in’ New York to represen- tatives of the NewYork press. The ex- hibition was in:every way Successful, the newpaper men pieseht expressing great as- tonishment at thb"results achieved.

It is Scarcely larger Than the ordinary grapho- phone. It has af giaht’s voice, but not a giant's body. @he new machine is called the Graphopbong,@rgnd.

It is carrying the graphophone principle to a higher perfeetion. The new machine, because of its’ cost, will not dis- place the ordinary graphophione, which has volume amply sufficient for home entertain- ment.

He recommends that the grades of ad- miral and vice admiral be revived tempo- rarily, to be filled by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. It is further recommended that the enlisted ferce be increased to 20,000 men and apprentice: “The nav * says etary Long, “Should be incrfased; the development of its vari- ous branches should be homogeneous, and the increase in ships should be accompanied by a gradual increase in officers and men. and in naval couling stations, re pair plants, ete.” The naval board of con- struction recommends the following in- crease: “Three sea-going battle ships of about 13,500 ton at $3,600,000 each; three armor: ed cruis .000 tons at $4,000,000 each, three protected 2,150,000 eruis uch, and rs of 6,0) tons, cruisers of t at $1,141,800 each “With the territorial acquisitions of the present year,” says the Secretary, “if the Philippines are also annexed to the United States, {ts outlying territorial possessions will be so great and so extended that this increase of naval force will be necessary , and, as two or three years will be required for the construction of the ships enim erated, appropriations suiticient for begin ning them should be made now. Otherwist the authcrization of the second of the above recommendations at the coming ses- sion of Congress would be enough. - “Years of patient, persistent training a development,” he says, d brought it to @ point of high efficiency, which resulied in the unparalleled victories at Manta and Santiago—victories which nave given the names of our nava! command-rs wor! wide fame, and added an additional to the glorious naval history of our try.” The story of Dewey's victory at Manil. is told succinctly, beginning with the fa- mous telegram of April 24, directing him to proceed against the Philippines. Of this victory the Secretary says: “Aside from the mere fact of having won without the loss of a single Nfe, such a brilllant and electrifying victory at the very outs:t of the war, with all the confidence which it infused throughout the country and into the personnel of every branch of th» ser- yice, it removed at once ali apprehension for the Pacific coast. The indirect pecu- niary advantas to the United States ir the way of saving an increase of inaurance rates, and of assuring the country of free- dom from attack on that coast, is incal- culable.”” The Secretary next takes up the history of operations by the North Atlantic squad- ron, at first under Admiral Sicard, and then after his relief on account of fll- health, under Admiral Sampson. He tells how Cervera’s fleet. having sailed from Cape Verde Islands April 29, for an un- known destination, Sampson’ sailed east with a portion of his fleet for the purpose of observation, how Schley sailed with the flying squadron for Cienfuegos, and how the Spanish ficet was caught at Santiago and subsequenuy destroyed. Ig red the Navy. One fact Gisclosed by the history of the days before the surrender of Santiago that Sampson asked to be represented in any conference held to arrange the terms of surrender of Santiago by virtue of the fact that he had engaged in the joint ope tions. Shafter replied that he should be glad to have Sampson represented, but the senta, surrender took place before his rej tive could reach the camp. Admiral son's chief of staff did arrive, howev fore the final articles were signed, Shafter declined to permit him to be on? of the signatories. High praise is awarded to the Marine Corps, whith, the Secretury says, should be ased to 5,000 men and the necessary Cost of Purchased Warships. Secretary Long gives a list of the mer- chant vessels and yachts that were ac- quired for the navy and the purchase price There were 110 of these vessels, including the warships bought abroad. The most ex- pensive ship was the New Orleans, which was bought from Brazil. She cost the United States government $1,429,2 her sister ship, the Albany, cost $1 ‘Phe Nictheroy, now the Buffalo, cost $575,000, which was precizely the price paid for the Southern Pacific Company's E) Norte, El Rio, El Sol and El Sud. The Panther and Badger, formerly the Ven- exuela and Yuriuri, cost $375,000 and $367,- 000, while the Yorktown of the Old Domin- fon’ Line was purchased for $475,000. ‘The most expensive of the vessels of the yacht class was the Mayflower, for which the estate of Ogden Goelet received $450,000 ‘The Scorpion Was the yacht Sovereign, and the government paid her owner, Mr.’ Bor- den, $300,000. The gunboat Topeka, former- ly the Diogenes, was a bargain, being pur- chased from the Thames Iron Works, Lon- for $170, Mr. Charles Flint re- ceived $24,250 for the torpedo boat Manley. and the Sehichau Iron Works of Germany $72,907 for the torpedo boat Sommers. The Merrimac was bought from the Hogan Line at a cost of $342,000, In addition to these purehases the Ameri- can Line steamers St. Paul, St. Louis, New York and Paris were chartered at $2,500 a day each for the first two and $2,000 a day each for the last twe. The City of Peklo was chartered from. the Pacific Mail Com- pany for $1,000 a day. The City of Phila delphia loaned ice boat No. 3 to the depart- meni, and the yachts Free Lance and Bu caneer were also loaned by Messrs. Scher- merborn and Hearst. +e Odditien in Necklaces. From the Philadelphia ‘Tires. Necklaces of all sorts are worn with the low-cut gowns. The strings of colored glass beads have found many admirers, and I notice that they are being worn with day as well as evening gowns. The little thin gold “baby chains’ with a locket or pen- dant are taken out from among the keep- sakes or supplied by the jewelers. London fashion writers tell us that bracelets are again worn, and that an English woman feels that her evening toilet is incomplete without a pair of the handsome bracelets. But bracelets at their best are unbecoming things when worn at the wrist, and the American woman is sensible enough to fol- low no fashion but the prettiest. The wear- ing of a black velvet band held by a jeweled clasp and worn half way between the elbow and shoulder is a fetching fash- ion and one much followed. And another quaint style is the narrow black velvet rib- bon about the neck, from which hangs a turquoise set or blue-enameled locket. The black velvet makes the white neck and arm look whiter.
