SARATOGA, N. Y.. Aug. 3. Tho
Springs racing season opened Saturday
under Ideal weather and track conditions.
Cock O'The Walk won tho Saratoga,
handicap without being extended. A few
rods before tho finish Lahore attempted
to overtake the leader, but It was futile
effort. Kolllng Stone was fc. good third.
At the start of the feature event Boil
ing Stone made the pace to the back turn,
followed In order by Colonel Holloway
and Cock O'The Walk. There Lahore
rushed up even to Rolling Stone and the
pair led by a length, turning Into the
homo stretch.
Jockey Glass then sent Cock O'The
Walk, to tho front, apparently without
much urging, and the winner galloped
home. O. M. Miller was not a serious
contender, the race being a three-horse
affair after the first mile.
No arrests for violation of the nntl
track gambling lawn marked the first
day of tile race meeting, although a force
of deputies patrolled the track. 8herlff
Orlppen said he had seen no violations
of the law. A large force of private de
tectives employed by the association also
was on duty. Private betters will be
protected, but bookmaklng will be pro
hibited, according to a ruling made by
District Attorney McKelvy.

CHINA'S METHUSELAH LANDS
Six Feet Tnll, Bnlithrnded, nnd-14t
Venrn Old, with LIfr Tablets
to Prove It.
Dr. Chao Choy., a Blx-foot Chinaman,
who stopped wearing a queue long be
fore, tho Chinese republic came out .n
favor of the plgtallless pate, landed from
the Ellis1 Jsf and ferryboat, Ellis Island, at
the Battery in New York. It was not
through choice 'that the long doctor gave
up his queue. Ho said he had been Just
as bald an he Is today, which Is Just as
bald as anybody ever was or can bo,
for the last forty-nine years.
. This inspired the ship news reporters
to ask the doctor If he had lost all
his hair in Infancy. He smiled, display
ing an array of teeth that looked na
tural apd said that his baldness had
come Just after he had celebrated the
one hundredth .anniversary of his birth
It was suggested to the doctor that
he meant Chinese years, but he declared
In fair English that they were tho regular
occidental, Gregorian variety of years'.
Fifty years ago, he said, ho went to
Cuba ho was Just 99 then believing that
the climate, assisted by the "longevity
tablets" that he carries In a bag sus
pended from a string about his neck,
would help him to attain a ripe old age.
Ho began to feel recently as if Cuban
atmosphere was not as good as It had
seemed at first and decided to take up
his residence In Canada,
His recipe for long life Is cheerfulness,
abstinence from alcoholic beverages and
longevity tablets. He said th
other Chinamen with him, all former resl-
aenta or uuba, were also men of con
siderable age, from an occidental point
ot view. The youngest was closo to 70
Tho doctor and his friends were sent
to Ellis Island from the Word liner
Mexico. They were under bond, and
started for Canada by train tho ,next
morning. The Kills Island records know
that the doctor had given his age there
as 149 years. Tho doctors of tho Island
aro inclined to doubt the Chinese doc

"If I were shut out of the Astor house
I would never go to New York. again."
So wrote Daniel Webster In August,
1S49, In a letter to Mr. Blatchford. Evl
dently Webster believed, a Dr. Johnson
believed before him, that "Thcro Is noth
ing which has yet been contrived by man,
by which so much happiness Is produced
as by a good tavern or Inn."
And now preparations for the new sub
way Involve the burrowing under a cor
ner of the Astor house, nt the esey
street side, and the famous old tavern Is
closed forever.
Between Webster and Mine Host Stet
son nn Intimate bond of friendship ex
isted. When the former left town for his
last trip to his home In Marthfleld his
parting words to Mr. Stetson were:
"Farewell, old friend. We have known
and loved for .more than thirty years."
New York was a queer placo then. The
hotel proprietor who refuses to accept
any money from a guest how distant It
all seems. There Is nothing ot New York
of the present ttme In this.
Then the town seems to have had an
hour or two for a little tea tablo chat.
"There was something to laugh over, and
sorrow had leisure for a tear."
We hay luncheon lopes now, and sup
per skips and dinner dances and, until
recently, cabarets for tho benefit of tho
milk men. The breakfast dance and a
skating rink upon the hotel root are the
only things that our eating plaora have
left undeveloped. But tho yenr Is young.
Stetson and Webster and their con
temporaries all have gone. The clothes
they wore would frighten us like ghosts
If wo were to look Into thn old clothes
chests of thoso for whom tho hotel was
the transitory home.
A Ilnll of Fame.
Presidents, cabinet chlefe. senators,
congressmen nnd state officials without
number have been entertained in tho As
tor house. Lords, nobles, counts and all
ortf of titled. If not crowned, heads have
repoted under its roof.
And no have Henry Clay, General Win
field Scott, Rufus Choate. Horace Mann,
Zarchary Taylor, Martin Van Buren.
James Buchanan, Franlclln PIccs, Abra
ham Lincoln, General Ornnt, Admiral
Fnrrogut and hundreds of others famous
in tho nation's councils of peoro and war.
Theodore Winthrop and Fltz-Greene
Halleck, who "led the parade, of literary
lions and struck tho keynote of tho
town's chorus," wore familiar figures' In
Its commodious corridors.
Its parlors havo echoed to tho beauti
ful songs and ballads of Dempster, Sol
Smith Russell, the harp of Bochsa, tho
piano ot Gottschalk, tho notes of Parodl,
of Parepo, of Kellogg and hundreds of
others.
It Is a beautiful, old. gray granite land
mark. Tho sorrow of seeing It depart Is
very real.
There probably Is more history and
more tradition Intimately associated with
the weather beaten walls of the Astor
houjse than with any other building. In
New York, and poluly tno United
States, with the exception of Independ
ence and Fanoull halls.
On Memornlilc Occasions. .
The most brilliant assemblies and pub
lic dinners of tho time wero all held
there. Our beloved aldermen gave a din
ner to the Russian fleet, at which tho
hotel's liquors won for themselves on
international warm spot, In a night.
General Fremont and his family lived
at tho Astor house during the mem
orable campaign of 1856.
General Grant, when he stopped nt tho
hotel, received thousands of visitors who
poured llko a torrent through the spa
clc'us parlors of the-hotel.
And Henry Clay, when nominated for
the presidency by his loving friends of
the whig party, stood In tho Astor housu
for four mortal hours nnd waa shaken
by the hands until his arm was nearly
palsied.
Tho brilliant reception that was ac
corded Louis Kossuth has come down
In history, also the farewell speech to
the American public that he delivered
from the hotel steps. Then there was
the notable reception to Dickens, in 1842,
after which the great novelist stayed
at tho Astor for a while.
It was In tho Astor house that Thack
eray met Nathaniel Hawthorne and
Washington Irving, and that tho Grand
Duke Alexis was entertained, also the
prince of Wales, afterward King Edward
VII, and Jenny Llnd, Louisa Pyne, Lydia
Maria Child, Black Hawk, the Indian
chieftain; Sam HoustonTEdwIn Forrest,
Walt Whitman and Edgar Allan Poo.
