tinental markets, large world's shipments

COLUMBUS, OHIO,
CIRCUIT RACES.
Columbus, O. July 31.—The grand cir
cult meeting opened today under th<
most favorable conditions. Th ■ weatht i
was clear and the track fast, though I
will improve slightly with continued fait
weather. There were three races on tie-
card, anil with the exception of the 2:2
pace, they were almost featureless.
The big race of the day was the 2:« .■-
trot, with four starters. The Abbott wa.-
almost a prohibitive fav.<r;tr and the baj
gelding did not disappoint his backers,
winning in straight heats. Eagle Flana-
gan was expected to give The Abbott •
brush, but the favorite won with ease,
being pushed only jn the secorrd and thir,
heats. The Abbott clipped a quarter of ;
second off his record in the second heat
when he went the milo in 2:07V#.
In the 2:11 pace Bob Fitzsimmons won i
straight heats, taking the. first in the fast
•time of 2:07V There were nine start r-
in this rnce. but Bob Fitzsimmons was
almost a prohibitive favorite.
The 2:23 pace furnislunl the only excite
ment of the day. There were seven start-
ers. an l although Shade On was picked
by many to wfrt. Wandering Jew sold a-
favorite in the pools and his backers did
no* flinch when Shade On landed the firs-
heat. Only four horses remained in the
■race after the first heat. Wandering Jew
Beauty Spot. Shade On and Mt. Clwmens
Boy. The Jew took the second and third
heats in apparently easy style and looke.i
a sure winner, but in the fourth he broke
several times and showed t ''dences of
weakening, dropping l, 4rth place
while Shade On took the heat. When thf
horses scored for the last heat the Won-
dering Jew showed life a nd won easily.

useful and industrious community of Honrs tho
people, who had the best incubators! 8ig:iatuio
ever invented, the finest breeds of do- 0f
mestic fowls, and unrivaled advantages
for the various manufacturing trades.
What more could be desired?
To go in for unnecessary blossoms
and frivolous fountains and grassy
remlezvous for sentimentally inclined
persons was, perliups, a natural idea
for women to advar.ve, but it should be
frowned dowu and discouraged.
Summed up, the lordB and roasters of
"etaluina households set the seal of
their concerted disapproval upon tho
whole scheme advanced by the fair in-
habitants of that unfair burg. There
ihould be no gilt upon their ginger-
breud if they could help it. What!
riant tlowers and trees, and transform
i plain, everyday, ordinary town into a
i/ g, beautiful public garden that every-
body would admire und talk about?
Monsense!
But 50 wives, sisters and sweetheart*
took another view of the matter, and
!or this very reason Petuluma's parks,
streets, drives, flowers und fountains
ire now among the most beautiful in
:lie state of California. People wanted
'.o sell their homes then; now every-
rody is anxious to buy.
The women did it, and they arc still
tloing it. They organized the Ladies'
Improvement Club of Petrluraa, alter
*. ^ain appeal to get the men to work.
This club was organized in June.
1396, because of the deplorable condi-
tion of the city's public squares and
itreets and the inexcusable neglect of
;he men to put and keep them in con-
dition.
After two years' hard work, the
women finally succeeded in getting the
•ity trustees to grunt a pitiful allow-
ince of $!10 per month and furnish wa-
er to keep the good work going.
The club lias been instrumental in
jetting the city to sprinkle the streets
in summer, and had two parks laid out
with walks and drives, shaded by many
trees, und is now contemplating efforts
to have the business streets covered
with asphalt. Band stands and foun-
tains will be erected soon in both parks.
The club's constitution and by-laws are
Ironclad.
"We never ask a man to do anything
we can possibly do ourselves, no mat-
ter what kind of work is at hand," is
>ne of them.—SoD Francisco Examiner.
HEAD OFF HUNGRY RATS.
Novel I'lun Adopted
Dutchem to Save
Meat.
by London
Their
London butchers have contrived a
new vvjiv of freeing themselves from the
depredations of rats. After some ex-
perience it was found that tho rats
could not be caught, nor killed in their
. oles, and as they were making great
inroads upon the meat, something had
to be done. Whoever devised that some-
thing is not known, but he was a gen-
ius. He decided that the best way of
keeping the rats from eating what they
should not eat was to furnish them with
«o me thing else that was just as good,
ind place it near their hole. Accord-
ingly a dainty meal consisting of bread,
sweet biscuit, potatoes and sugar was
laid on the door next to the holes, and
day after day the bill of fare w>i*
changed. There was to be no- monot-
ony which would give the rats an ex-
use for going back to the old fare.
At first, the rats, chief of which is a
white haired patriarch, were disturbed
•>y these unwonted manifestations of
friendship, and severely left the food
alone; but in less than u month there
were hopeful signs that the rat heart
was softeuing. The food was gradual-
'y whipped out of sight by the messen-
gers of the guests and carried down
helow to be eaten, and one day, to the
delight of the caterers, the elderly rat
cautiously popped his hoary head out
of the openiug and looked furtively j M 1,(1 running in f. ri
round the shop. Presently he wa* !rm 'A '* th rtv >r ir
