"There is no accounting
for taste, " as was said of
the old woman who kissed
her cow. We bought 20
patterns of one line of men's
suits. 17 of them have sold
well, and 3 of them have
"stuck." You might like
any one of the three better
than anv one of the 17.
The- have been $10. Go?
ing to sell these 3 patterns
for $7.50 each. We know
you'll like them better now!
Come eariy. Only about 30

BOOKS TURNED THE TABLES
Luck .Switched mid tlio Talent Went
llomi'Hroke Mnt tic Cllumuid Cadiz
Help Sno the l'ubllc From a Clean
Sweep Crohur Scores, a Win With
Imp. Plunderer.
The talent ran against a sung at St.
Asaph, jesterday. They have teen having
things much their own -nay of late, mid
it has liecn very much ot an off day when
they have not got home Willi at least
four favorites chalked up oil the right
Hide of the Male.
Yestcrda they were only successful in
two races. Cadiz, at 'S to 0. aid Mattle
Chun ac even money helped them out of
the hole, hjt the balance of the events went
to outsiders. The biggest ilump of the
day was In the last raoc which was won
by .Airplane. Siva and Lumberman were
very heavily "plajed to win this race, but
they were neither ot them one, two.
Although several of the finishes were
good It was an off clay, the attendance
and betting; being light- The weather was
very disagreeable aud the track still heavy
and holding.
FIK.VT FAVORITE FELL DOWN.
Luke Richards was selected to carry the
talent's money In the opening event. On
paper he looked to be in a sou spot,
bat wheu It came to racing was found to
be sadly wanting in the nexessary amount
of speed and finished a bad fourth. Imp
l'luuderer trailed along until the stretch
was reached, where he went to the front
and In a drie won by two lengths from
Electro, who was as much before Tioga.
Any price was adcc'iitcd against Camz
In the next race, and he quickly went from
7 to B to 3 to 5. Gra-smere opened at
C to 5 nnd closed at 0 to 0. Grassmerc
cut out the running to the quarter, where
the favorite assumed command, and In a
hard drive lasted long enough to secure
the erdict by a head.
The lielle of Fermoy wns quoted at 3
to 5 In the third race, but this price,
was soon forced to 1 to 3. To a poor
Mart Nemo was off In the lead, with
Gaiety second and CIanman third. The
favorite got away absolutely last, ai.u
could never quite get-up to the leaders.
Nemo stnjed In the lead to the wire,
winning handily by a length and a half
from the lk-lle, with Clansman four lengllia
away.
GAVE rLYNN TROUBLE.
Eomage had the call in the fourth race,
which was at half a mile, with Cnrnalite
second choice at fours. There were ten
starters in this race, qui Fijnn had some
trouble. When he rinally sent them away
Tartar was In the lead, with Masher close
up. At the quarter the latter poked his
head in front and stayed there to the end,
winning liandlly by three lengths from
Arundel, who was a half before Clair W.
The only other winning i.-.vorlte of the
day was dished up in thefirth event. Mattle
Chun was the one selected to carry the
bank rolls of the public nnd she did it in
clev'er style. Bella G. was way out in
front of her field when they swung Into
the backstretch, and looked a winner all
over. She Mopped bailly at the end, how
ever, nnd was passed In the stretch by,
Chun and Mohawk.
Lumberman and Siva received all the
attention In the dosing race. There were
some swell bets sent in on both of them.
The former finally closed favorite at 51 to
10, with Siva nest in demand at even
money. The race was an exciting one,
the four-starters running head and head
to the stretch. H.'xe Siva showed in front
but soon dropped back and Alrplant came
on, and Ina desperatefinlsh, won by a short
length from Renaissance, with Siva third.

such disposition as that hMymlght deem

"Three large boxes have reached mc from
tbe executors of the estate, th-' largest or

Inside were score books of cricket games
played ne-arly half a century ago, basetiall
records and1 pictures of famous players,
which Harry Wright had been collecting
all bis life, and I don't think I exaggerate
when I say tbce three receptacles con
tained all ot Importance relating to these
two pastimes tit the United States.
"At the League nieetlng at New York
next week I shall ask the directors what
we shall do with this lietiucst. The Ger
mnnlown Cricket Club, whose grounds are
at Manheim, near Philadelphia, have put
In a proposition that the cricket records
shall lie turned over to tlieiu.'and as this
club is the fostering spirit of cricket in this
country, I think tbclr wish should begrati

C0MING TO THE THEATEKS-
The best thing said of Olga Nethcrsolc's
'Trou Frou" is that It is apparently a
creation of her own from liegliining to end.
From the moment she conies, upon the
stage, in the first act. until the last, when
she gives a simulation ot death horrible
in its realism, she holds her audlerw e as
completely under her spell as tr they were
all of one mind and one heart.
Miss Nethersole will play "Frou Frou"
at life National Theater on Wednesday and
Friday evenings of next week. On Mon
day night, November 11, she will present
her creation of "Camille" and this will
be repeated at the Saturday matinee. On
Tuesday and Saturday evenings Dumas'
"Henise" will be seen for the first time
iu this city. "Borneo and Juliet" is billed
for Thursday night.
