OMAll A _ J > AILY 3373 % , SUNDAVr _ _ SEPTEMBER 20 , 1807 , ROYAL1TS DAY IN SOCIETY Friday of Last Week May Be Properly So DCS gnated , LITTLE BESIDE THE BALL TO CHRONICLE Tlmt ion < , IlimctrrVnM Illn nnil Iinporlnnl KnoiiKh lit Mil tie it UVrk'N HeiMirtl u ( Ilii'lf. The street parades , public triumphs and court ceremonies of the new king monopolized the week by a sort of divine right , and the sun of Ak-Snr-Ilen cmlte eclipsed all Ics-er Illuminations. The ball of Friday night has already been so exhaustively described In tine columns that an extension of the story at this lime would bo a work of supereroga tion a seeking , so to speak , with taper light the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish. The nffalr WJR excellently well managed and was an Improvement In most respects over simi lar excellently well managed affairs of the l ast , The king , now that his Identity and everyday style and title of Edward 1'ortor IVcck are known to his subjects , Is generally considered worthy of their loyal devotion , and his selection of Ml HI Kountzo as queen is universally commended throughout the realm of Qulvera. Their majestlcfl begin the period of their rule under most auspicious conditions of abundant material prosperity. The postonico Is Hearing completion , the new union depot Is progressing merrily , It Is no longer possi ble to expectorate unchecked In street cars , and the Sixteenth street viaduct has not yet fallen In rulru. The Capitol avenue pave ment Is a'lll ' cherished by abutting property owners , and there nro children In town who can attend tlio school of their parents' choice without a superintendent's permit. All of which natuially temlfl to make It easy and agreeable for any monnrcha , not used to reigning , to sway the scepter with some degree - greo of Fiiccess .from the very Ilrst. The Transml'slsslppl Exposition , 'the greatest and most beneficent enterprise which ever had Its scat In Omaha , will como to full fruition during the term of Ak-Sar-Bcn lit anil bin charming queen. This , added to the rest , will sum up a record which any sovereigns might envy. Thcro nro two sin ill boys In town whoso clrclo of iicqualntanco Is as yet restricted by reason of their tender years , but who will douhilo's become as well known In tlmo as their parents , who are . > ry well known In- ilecd. They go to Sunday school with more lit tle boys , mid the other day the lesson sought to ho Impressed upon their Infant minds' ' w a the priceless ono of non-retaliation and of patient endurance of Indignities the check- turning doctrine to deservedly popular among small boys. "What would you do , " the tenchcr asked , "If somebody threw n .stone at you and nil you ? " The older of the two lads stood up va liantly and said "he'd throw It back at him , " flnd ho said It with such unction as to con found the teacher , who was still further dls' comflted when the other urchin got up and , with hostile demonstrations appropriate to the occasion , shrieked , "I'd I'd I'd get a gweat big handful of mud and just frow It at him. " And then all the rest of the young hypo- crlteu made haste to say that , for their part , they would not do ouch rude , horrid things , but would meekly submit , or , at the most , endeavor by pious counsels to lead the Js- sallant out of darkness Into light. Mr. Charles J. Greene Is possibly as widely Itnown as any citizen nf Omaha , and the color of his hair , even If It be not his chlefcst pride , Is by no means a source of Jorrow or roproich to him. Wherefore ho was sur prised the other night to hear a pretty girl whom ho had Just noticed In passing , say "What le red , green , yellow for , anyway ? " It was some moments before he realized that Eho was referring to the Ak-Sar-Beu colors. Miivctuciiln of Society Folk. Mrs. T. M. Orr is enjoying nil eastern trip.

Why J > o Horse * I'miKiiNti'i * Tliiin They Trot f The question why horses pace faster than they trot was propounded by a St. Louis Republic reporter to Hon. Norman J. Col- man , ex-secretary of agriculture and a well posted horsman , and elicited this reply : "That Is a difficult question to answer. The facts show they do go faster at a pacing than at a trotting gait. The fastest trotter by the records Is Alix , 2:03 : % , while Nancy Hanks Is only one-fourth of a second slower. This tlmo has" 'been beaten several seconds by pac'ers , namely , Star Pointer , l:59Vi : ; Joe Patchen , 2:01 : % : John U. Gentry , 2:00' : * ; Robert J. , 2:01 : % . and Bumps , 2:04 : % . This shows a great difference In the speed of the two gaits. It cannot bo accounted for on the- score ot brceatng , ns all these fast pacers are trotting bred but one. Star Pointer. Ho la an out and out pacing-bred horse , with the exception of some thoroughbred blood and It Is well known that thoroughbred horses do not Impart either trotting or pac ing speed , though they do Impart stamina. They canrot Impart what they do not pos sess. No strictly thoroughbred has ever trot ted or paced In 2:30. : "Tho best answer to your question Is. and It is undoubtedly the correct answer , that the pacing gait Is the fastest because It Is the easiest and simplest gait. The lateral way of going is simpler and easier and can bo executed 'by ' the mind and limb of the horse more readily than the diagonal way of going , 'Which requires one limb trom oppo site sides of the body to be propelled at the same time ; for Instance , a right fore leg nnd a left hind leg , or the left fore leg and the right hind leg. This Is the trotting gait , whllo In the pacing gait both legs on a side move forward at the same time , almost an swering to the gallop , which Is both legs at an end , move forward at the same time , which Is the fastest gait of the horse. Some horsemen think that the pace so nearly re sembles the gallop that In time It may equal the gallop In speed. There are some pacers , however , that can pace faster than they can P ° "Ano > ther proof that the pace Is the easier and simpler gait Is that any trainer of trotters will tell you that , as a rule. It does not require half ot the time to develop the same amount of speed In pacers that It dops in trottots. The pacers come to their speed very rapidly , far moro so than the trotters do. Indeed there ore those who claim that to the fast pacers we are In debted for pur trotting speed , that In the early settlement of this country the Narragansett pacers were fast , and were frequently raced , and that from their descendants wo have derived much of the trotting speed that American horses possess. "It Is a remarkable fact that In coupling pure bread trotting horses and mares , some of our fastest pacers have ibeen produced , showing that the pacing gait is an Inherent factor In their composition. " In answer to a que-stlon which section of the country has produced the greatest speed , Governor Colman replied : "Star Pointer , the champion harness horse of the world , was foaled at Spring Hill , Tcnn , , In 18S9. Ills sire was Brown Hal , and his dam was sired by Snow Heel , both pacing stallions. Joe Patchen was sired by Patchen Wllkes , then standing In Kansas , and he was foaled there. John R. Gentry was likewise foaled In Kansas. He was afterwards sold to John R. Gentry ot Sedalla , Mo. , who developed his marvelous speed and after whom ho was named. The same gentleman Is an excellent judge of horses and Is the manager ot the coming horse show In the coliseum of the St. Ivouls exposition , which will take place on October 25 to 30 , Inclusive , "Bumps Is a Kentucky bred horse , by Baron Wllkes. Tlobert J. Is an eastern bred horse , 'bred. ' I believe , in Pennsylvania. I think that ho Is the only great pacer from that section of the country. Allx , the cham pion trotter of the world. Is an lown product , and Nancy Hanks was bred In Kentucky. "This Is a remarkable showing for thn west , particularly as It was not many years ago when all the fast harness horses were products ot the east. "St. Louis has the champion trotter of the world over a half mile track In a race , In Dandy Jim , owned by J. M. Battle , who won the race and third heat last week nt Crawsfordsvlllo , ind. . In 2-10. Palmyra Hey , $ years old , by Grattan , 2-13 , owned by S. S. Brandt of Montgomery City , Mo. , won the pacing race at Indianapolis on Tuesday last In 2-07" > . Ho has had but little trainIng - Ing It lonks as though In the near future he may bo knocking at the door for cham pion honors among the pacers. " Cure iif nn I'nilirelln. One of the fruitful caused of holes In the folds of an umbrella Is Improper core when It Is wet. To roll up a wet umbrella Is to Invite the dyes tn rot It , and one of the banes of the umbrella manufacturer la loaded dye on silk. Out of 100 samples of silk submitted to the writer , not over ten were pure dye , and 50 per cent of the Bilk thread submitted was overloaded with dye and would not stand our chemical tret. This IH a fruitful cause of trouble In umbrellas , and our concern In sists on all the silk and silk threads standing a clionilcnl test In this respect. When over- ded silks are wet , and the umbrellas rolled and set away , we find the ounera complain ing that their umbrellas are cracking In the folds. Flno holes appear , and they are apt to return the umbrella to the merchant and claim damage. Don't inUtnkn nn Inferior wwro for Ltbbuy's cut jlass. TliU tr lo murk In graven nn every couulne ploue.
