ORNONDE, KING OF THE TURF Monarch of Racers and Prince of Sires Holds a Levee in Omaha. SKETCH OF A NOBLE RACING ANIMAL n Unbroken ftecord In Contests with Other Cracks—Now the Hoad of » Great Army of Pricele Progeny—Dally Spori The Palace stables are sheltering somo- thicg like $250,000 worth of thorough- bred horso flesh, 1n the shape of the great Imported English stallion, Ormonde, a half dozen thoroughbred English brood maref with foals at side, and & string of American-bred race horses belong- ing to W. O. B. Macdonough, tho velebrated and wealthy horseman of San Francisco, Cal. These horses are enroute from New York to 'Frisco, Ovmonde and the English brood mares having arrived in Now York from England, where they were recently purchased by Mr. Macdonough, on the Sth of last month. The string of American run- ters are a part of the Californian's fa- mous stable and have been running at the eastern courses, and ali are now on therr way to the coast, having boen shipped from Jersey City last Tuesdny night and arriving horo via the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy yesterday morn- ing. They are comfortably quartered at the Palaco in neatly cleaned box stalls and will remain here until this evening, this being the onty stop over they will make be- tween here and their destination. So far this valuable gang has withstood the fatigues of tho journey remarkably well, oach and every one of them being in the highest form of condition, and as full of life and energy as if just brought in from pas- ture. Henry Lossing, the stud groom of Or- monde, said that tho great stallion, as well as the mares and their foals, were equally fortunate in making the trip across the Atlantic. all of them being in full health and prime condition on landing here. Personality of m King. Ormonde is by Ben dOr, out of Lily Agnus, und was the champion racer of mod- ern times, and is now looked upon as the reatest site on earth. He is a beautiful ay with black points, of good size and noble conformation. He is deep chested and broad shouldered, and his short coupling in- dicates the enormous strength he is known to possess. His hind lLimbs are moulded after the most perfect type, ana in every detail ho is a grandly and beautifully bult horse, exhibiting all the essentiol good points of a wonderful and phenomenal animal. He looks asif he had the power and cndurance to stand almost any hardship, and the long and tiresome journey he is ncw upon is evidence that there is no deception in his looks. He stands sixteen hands and one inch and weighs in the neighborhood of 1,300 pounds. As a raco horse Ormonde left the track un- beaten, and in his long list of victories are numbered such events as the 2,000 guinen stakes, the English derby, the Doncaster and St. Leger, and it is estimated that his ag- gregate winnings will foot up to quite $200, 000. In the most of his famous ra he was ridden by Fred Archer, the lkinglish crack fock, but was also piloted successfully on several different occasions by Tom Cannon and George Barrett. He won the Epsom derby, with Archer up, in 1886 and in 1857 the Hardwick stakes, £400, as o 4-year-old, when he was retired to the stud. AU this time he wasowned by the duke of Westminster and was hauled off that his strength for breeding purposes might not be deteriorated or lost in tho chances of the track. Since then Ormonde has got the best d-yearold in all England, the celebrated Orme, besides a long list of splendid and winning racers The duke of Westminster sold the great stallion to General de Bouan for £14,000, and he shortly afterward took him to Buenos Ayres. Of the South American Mr. Macdonough bought the horse for the princely sum of $150,000, the highest figure ever paid for a horse. The purchaso was made at that without the California turf- . man ever having seen the animal, all nego- tiations baving been made by cable. His Notable Valet. The magnificent fellow is in the exclusive oharge of Henry Lossing, the stud groom, who “isas watchful over his welfare asa mother is of her babe. Lossing 18 a typical Englishman groom, with the puffy. florid face, mutton-chop whiskers, aldermanic paunch and all. He is with the priceless animal day and night, but takes much pride in exhibiting him, especially to horsemen, and in a quiet way telling of his matchless prowess. Before being engaged by General de Bouan, Lossing. was the head greom in the stables of George Alex- ander Baird, alias 'Squire Abingdon, who came over to this country with Charlic Mitchell and Jim Ha!l six mcnths ago, and who died in New Orleans last March of acute pneumonia, contracted ut the ring side the night of the Fitzsimmons-Hall fight. Loss. ing has been engagea by Macdonough at a salary of £,000 & year to continue in his po- sition of stud groom to the great stallion 1 this country. Amoug the imported thoroughbred brood mares at the Palace and beloLging to the Californin string is Maiden Belle, an old money winner, with a beautiful foal by Sen- serf by her side; Serpentia,with foal at side by Enterprise, who is today one of England’s greatest sires; China Rose, with foal by side by Enter- ‘rrlm; Kissingtrust, with foal by side by Enterprise, und Mirage with foal by side by Beau Brummel. All of theso mares are now with foal by Ormonde. Then there are ‘Windflower, “Miratdola, Cottage Girl and Countess Langdon, all purchased in England, and served by the king of sires. Among the American bred runners are Monowah, Grande, Miss Annie and Flurry, all ot whom have proven winners on the eastern tracks but Flurry, whose intracti- bility has ruined her chances as a money- Fetter. The two car loads of horses are under the immediate charge of K. D. Sweeney, who has assisting him a corps of no less than fourteen men, excluding three exerciso boys. Many interested horsemen paid their re- spects 1o the highbred animals yesterday. RA NG RESUL Judges at the St. Louls Falr Grounds Track Establish a Precedent.

New York, Sept. 1.--R, Dun & Co's. weekly review of trade will say: ‘The moncy markets throughout the country are healthy, failures diminishing in number and resumption by a number of the bamks and other establishments illustrate the gencral tendency toward a revival of confidence. Manufacturers do not yet feel the upward impulse and exhibit, on the whole, rather less signs of improvement than a weok ago.

The stock of American at home and abroad is About 1,800,000 bales. Industrial Situntion. The industrial situation mends buy littla. The signs of improvement observed a week ago ave scarcely sustained, for while twelve textile and thirteen ivon and stool concerns have resumed after stopping, fifty-five tex- tile and twenty-one iron and steel concerns have stopped. In addition thirteen others have reduced working time and severai have reduced working forces, and u large number of works, including most River, have reduced wages from 10 to 20 _per cent. ' A more cheerful tone is scen in iron and steel markets, but, nevertheless, prices do not improve, nor are orders sufficient to causo genoral resumption of work, The shipments of boots and shoes from Boston show a decrease for the last wook of 36 per cent, as compared with the corresponding week of last year. The sales of wool at the three chiof marlkets last week were only 1,446,721 pound. agai 200 for the corresponding w of last year, and the decre: new wool began to come forward has been about 68 per. cent. Somewhat more buying is seen in cotton goods from the westand south, but the market is still narrow and hesitating, The anxicty about money has been ereatly relieved and” scarcely any premium is now paid for currency, partly because many con- cerns which required ash for payment of hands have stopped, while many others are using checks and other substitutes for cash. Impurts and Exports. The decrease n imports at New York in August was about 30 per cent, while in ex- ports from here there was a small increase of cent. Since the advance in rates by the Bank of Eugland engagements of old for shipment to this country have nearly ceased, though 5,750,000 arrived during vhe week.

New Yomrk, Sept. l.—Bradstreel’s tomor- row will say: The clouds over the general business of the country have continued to break away inthe second week in which an actual improvement has been orded, by an increase in volume and distribution of merchandise reported at Cincinnati, Indin- apolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha. More travelers have been sent out from these and other points, and manuf turing centers, as well as larger eastern cen- ters, have, in_a number of instances, be un starting ~ up, some without special orders. In centers other than those specified, with few exceptions, therc is an improvement in the feeling among merchants and bankers as to the brospects for fall trade, ana atall points, with very few exceptions, there is a growth of confi- dence in a revival of demand during the au- tumn months. Bankers at Chicago, At- lanta, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Memphis and elsewhere, st points to which sowe of the more important agricultural regions are tributary, have arranged to provide funds as needed o move staple crops, and less anx ioty exists in that respect than formerly. Spring wheat at the northwest is heginning to mako itself felt. Louisiana rice is in good demand and firm in price, but naval stores were partly destroyed by storms at tho south, Exports of Wheat, The recent heavy wheat export move ments showed themselves last week in a large increase in the amount-afloat for fu- rope, about 1,400,000 bushels, which de- creases of 534,000 bushels in' the United States and Canada and 100,000 bushels in Australia could not offset. The exports of wheat, both coasts (flour included), and from Montreal, ageregate 4,000,000 bushels, compared with 4,900,000 bushels last week, 8,341,000 bushels a year ago, 54,441,000 bushels two years ago and 1,570,000 bushels two vearsago.

There was never a time for mothors to be more careful than now. Nearly a third of the deaths in Chi- cago for a mouth past have been deaths of babies! Chicago is not an exception.

Mothers whose breast-milk is faulty should understand that lact:ted food is the food that is nearer mothers milk than any other, And they should never fuil to use it in preference o any other. It has been shown in evary investiga- tion that babies fed upon lactated food itve longer and tiirive better than those brought up on other diet. Luctated food malkes vigorous, woli-nourished, unetive babies when other foods fail. It contains the very elements for oasy, pecfect nutrition. Long trial has shown it to be perfectly adapted to the age of growth when the digestive or- gans are making enormous demands to meet the needs of growth and develop- ment. “For upwards of eight years, I have been familiar with Inctated food,” says the well known Boston physician, Dr.C. P. Thayer, “‘and my immediate prof sional friends and myself have it always at hand.” One cnuse of the high esteem of the food among physicians lies in the known cleanliness and scrupulous care used in its preparation. In lactated food the combination of the necessary elements of pure, healthy mother’s milk is accomplisiied. Using pure milk sugar as n basis, there iscom- bined with it thoe richest elements of barley, wheat and oats whick by long subjection to high steam heat” under pressure have been perfectly cooiced. Combined with the othe ments of the food, the result is a homogeneous product that 1s easily assimilated by the feeblest stomach. Tofants thrive upon plump, strong, bright-oyed and clear- skinned.
