Our noble Earl seems to have a pet- tish streak in his character, Now, any- bod) who ts pettish is not a good sports- Man. Moreover, Lord Dunraven ts a “hard loser," and your true sportsman loves a cheerful loser. When Emperor William won a race from Dunraven on a technicality and took it, the Emperor showed conclu sively that he had no sporting blood In his royal veins, but when Dunraven himself gave expression to his ill tem- per over the affair he also showed that he lacked the sporting Instinct that says take a beating without whining. After the cup races were salled tn 1893 he acknowledged here that Vigilant a better boat than Valkyrie II, Phen he went back to England and began the same kind of a howl he ts nding up now about excursion steam- ers, He knew the conditions about the races, Nobody has a word to Bay in defense of those steamers. They have been a nuisance at y cup race since 185, but Dunraven knew they would be there and knew very wel: that no committee has any power on the high seas. His de- mand for them to exercise power was ridiculous; his refusal to race, for that is what his action amounts to, because they could not do so was childish, The trouble with the noble Lord seems Feally to be that he cannot take a beat- ing gracefully. After the Dunraven act of yesterday, British citizens ought to pray tly that their recent remarks about the Gornell crew be speedily forgotten, | HE BOLs WINS BY BRUTE FORCE. ‘The story of last night's Republican | istrict conventions in this city ls a| chronicle of disorder, of riotings, of oaths and blows, of political disgrace Out of it all arises this result: ‘That machine methods prevailed and the Loss ‘won, In @ general way the proceedings wert Uke those accompanying the triumphs ef Gorman in Maryland and Quay In| Pennsylvania, It was brute force that} vle- popular dissatis rds and methods. | carried those two leaders to new of tories in the face faction with their ri It wae brute force that carried Matt through last night, It is always brut force that makes success for the real] and broken homes, successful small mer- chants transformed into twenty-five-cent begging touts and tramps are more often the result of essays to build for- tunes in the betting ring.

If you do, it is al- most a dead cinch that some hookmaker will be riding home from the races in an open hack with your thirty dollars in his clothes, and when you get to the ferry you will have to hunt very hard in your pockets for the pennies to pay your fare to New York.

Riley Grannan went to the Saratoga Face track one day this Summer w thirty dollars in his inside pocket and proceeded to back his opinions of the horses in the various events. He won right along. and at the end of the sea @on he was one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ahead of the game. On Wednesday at Sheepshead Bay he backed Henry of Navarre to beat Domino and Rey El 4 Anita and won $60,000, i. is sald. Using tie figures we have at hand without taking into consideration any other earnings or win- nings made since he left Saratoza, Mr Grannan has by the magic of his cxpert guessing expanded his thirty dollars int @ six-figured fortune and he is still pouring coin into his Aladdinesque cof. ter Mr. Grannan's good luck Js one of the true fairy tales of the turf.

Some Easy Morning D Baked potatoes require @ hot oven and from thirty to forty-five minutes cook- Ing. This makes them perfectly possi- ble in the gas stove menage, but is not desirable on a very hot morning If there 1s but one room for the cooking and the family. Saratoga chips which come from the shops are nice if put in a hot oven for two or three minutes to be- como crisp, Sliced tomatoes are a nice rellsh in the morning. Exgs, which can be prepared in so many Ways In a cha- fing dish, are possible few-minute dishes, but so easily and commonly served most light housekeepers are tired of them, therefore they should not be served on consecutive days unless one has the digestion and appetite of an ostrich, Creamed potatoes are easily gotten ready, ditto bacon, fringled beef and chops. The Children's Teeth, Frequently a child's looks are destroy- ed by a narrow and protruding upper Jaw, which a little care will transform into a symmetrical feature. In these cases it Is always well to consult a good scientific dentist. Do not, however, per- mit a sound tooth, no matter how it overlaps, to be extracted on ghe advice of any one dentist; teeth are far too precious to run any risks about. In almost every case if the teeth are straightened while they are coming in! the jaw will yleld and make place for them. After they are firmly set, even though one resorts to extracting one or two where they crowd, to make room for the others, the result is a space and | the remaining teeth will only stay straight while the torturing plate has them as if in a vise. Children often suffer agonies from these cruel plates. Fashion Notes, Grass linen embroidery will continue its popularity throughout the Fall. It will be used as a trimming on many of | the cloth dresses, The most fashionable sleeve of the season slopes well off the shoulder, its drooping puff being interlined with fibre chamois to produce the bouffant effect.
