The number on the right arm of the lockevs Saturday was the cause of much Interrogation on tne pan or tne audience. This number cor responds to the number of the horse marked on the programme, and is for the purpose of telling the order of the horses as they come In under the wire. REAL ESTATE. The Local Market To-Day Beginning of the Rosenblatt Sale. There must be a close affinity between the spirit of speculation in real estate and that in horse flesh.

Judging from the avidity with which every item of Interest connected with the present meeting Is snapped up and discussed in real estate circles. There is little else but the races talked about among the brokers and dealers, who rather look to the meeting as affording a better prospect for heavy deals than exist in their own lines.

Vol ante, Egmont, Hontsnm Recent and Jacobin the Probable Starters Jim Gore and What He Will Io To-Morrow'i Big Programme Saturday'a'Winners Gossip About the Boiitmei.

BEVrEWTSQ-the situation. the chances seem to be -that before the "present week of tracing at the Fair Grounds is ovor Ithe people of St. Louis will be given an opportunity of witnessing' a turf event which- will be fully as interesting, if not more Inter-' eating, than the big Eclipse affair which brought out such a grand crowd last season. The interview with" Mr. E.

J. BaJdwhvpubll3heT mSaturday' Post-Dispatch had the effect of ROU6INO THB IRB Drf a few gentlemen who are quartered a- the Southern Hotel and who own bones of great speed. Mr. Baldwin is anxious to- run Tolante against some other animal of speed and to do so right in St. Louis too.

this is so he dislikes to reiterate that desire more than Is necessary end his proposition Saturday to bring all the cracks attending the present meeting together In a grand race, with an entrance of $400 or $500 each, was a modification of the challenges he has recently published and one which, ia his opinion, would suit the other owners better. The proposition seems to have takenrthe desired effect, and it was discussed generally by the turfmen in the lobby of the Southern Hotel this morning. The horses whose names are mentioned Snost prominently in connection with this big event are Volante, Egmont, Montana Regent and Jacobin. All of these are in the very best of never better in their lives, and their respective owners are pefectly willing to make a grand test of their speed. Mr.

Bald-Win's idea seems to have taken root, and unless indications mean nothing, will blossom on Friday or Saturday of this week. Messrs. MORftlSSET. CURTIS 15D have an idea that in a held of thin kind, with two other horses who will probably go in. o-lante would not prove so completely irresistible as Mr.

Baldwin imagines. Speaking of the matter this morning to a reporter lor tbe Post-Dispatch. President Green said: "The eentlemen interested in this affair are quite hot over Mr. Baldwin's suggestion that Volante can run away from anything out here, anal am given to under stand that they stand ready to put their Lorses out soon aa any definite understanding can arrive a at. Those who are Known to be Teady to go in are Egmont, Volante, Regent and Jacobin.

I feel pretty confident that the gentlemen owning these horses will be brought together and something done before Friday. A race of that kind would, in my opinion, outclass onr Eclipse la.it year and should draw out a large crowd. The sum of MONET AD DAD by the association would, yon understand. depend upon the horses, but they want to Start they will find us liberal enough. It would not be necessary at all to lengthen the meeting by making an extra day.

On Satur day there are four races and a steeplechase. but we could shorten up the events and have plenty oi time ior tnis anair. Mr. Green prefers a race with four or five starters to a match, and, indeed, this seems to be the only probable outcome of the war of words recently waged by Messrs. Baldwin et al.

FAVORITES TO THE FRONT. Wahoo Wins the First Race- -Rain -Affects the Attendance. By Telejrraph to the Post-Dispatch. Race Track, June 6. The attendance at the xaces this afternoon was a trifle light, owing to the heavy rain which fell In torrents almost up to the time when the bell rang for the first race.

In the first event, which was a purse of $500, one mile and one-eighth, there were seven starters. St. Valentin being scratched. Tbe horses to go at the drum tap were Keane, Leman, Violator, Alamo, Hate Mulkey, Vivian and W'ihoo. The latter was the favorite in the betting.

The track as might be imagined was muddy. Tbe result of the first race was as follows: Wahoo, first; jieeno, seconu; Aiamo, imra. xime, Jim. Gore. There were more disappointed betters of the email-fry kind Saturday over the aUure of Jim Gore to win the Derby than one could count if he took the whole afternoon to-day Men with tickets on Jim Gore at the rate of two to-one could be found on the lawn.

In the erand stand, in the club-house, on tbe pad pock, and in fact everywhere. Their surprise was as great as their number, for the tip on the son of Hindoo was strong and widespread. Nor indeed was the surprise confined to those who were confident of the winner of the Clark stakes coming in first, for Link Jones, the jockey who rode him said just before the race that he felt certain of victory notwithstanding the fact that the track was a little slow for Gore and the distance was a mile and a half. a rule Jockeys are more or less conservative and those therefore who heard Jones say in his quiet way that Gore would win were doubly i cure. The colt is entered In two other stakes to be xnn this week.

The first is tbe Wainwrlght takes, which will be run Wednesday. The second is the big Merchants' Eclipse stakes, which will oe decided Thursday, the day following, being the third race on the programme. Gore's owner, Mr. A. G.

McCampbell, said to-day that he attributed Gore's failure on Saturday to the most simple reason 'n the world, namely, lack of speed. The animal's lees are In no way changed from their con dition on Saturday with the exception, per haps, that as time goes by there is a slight change for the better. Mr. McCampbell ay that in all probability if the colt re mains in statu quo, he will start in both of the events mentioned above. The dis tance of the Wainwrlght stakes is a mile and a quarter, tne same as tnatoi ine (JiarK staaes, and the distance of the Eclipse is exactly the same.

This is all the better for Jim Gore, but he is in pretty last company in both events. and it is a question whether his owner expects xuuen oi mm in euner. To-5Iorrow' Card. A Yery Interesting programme ihas been ar ranged for to-morrow, the third day of the races. There will be five events on the card and all of them promise to be quite rapid affairs so far as can be known thus far in ad Vance.

Wedding invitations, the finest, lowest prices. ilcmodif Jflceartl Jswefry Cor 4tk 4 Looutt, HALF PIE WHERE WOMEN ARE SNUBBED. Singular Discourtesy of the Averager Bollan. der to the Gentler Sex. Correipondence of the Milwaukee Sentinel.

Before spending twenty-four hours in a Holland family it is plainly seen that here at least man is lord of all he surveys and that woman is a secondary consideration a poor second at that. The first thin? observed is that no Dutch gentleman (and this word is used advisedly) when walking on the sidewalk will move out of his way for a lady; the woman turns out into the road invariably, and the danger and' muddiness of the street makes no difference. Tbe male biped keep's the pave always. The 4place aux dames" understood and acted upon in all other civilized countries cannot be translated into Dutch, there being no place for it here. The ladies of Holland are principally to blame for much that is rude and uncouth, in gentlemen's behavior; they regard a man as something terrible, and act as if believing that the masculine community go about like roaring lions.

They seem afraid to look a man in the face, or they might observe by the ear extension that not all the stronger sex are carnivorous. In accordance with the roaring-lion, idea ladies unescorted must not pass a club, and yet the frequenters of clubs ia the daytime are principally raw youths of an exceedingly non-hirsute appearance, and it looks idiotic to see ladies go out of their way two or even three squares to avoid being gazed at by club habitues. In Utrecht, the ultra-aristocratic city of this land, where every other house covers a nobleman's family, these prim restrictions are carried to an even greater extent. The lovely boulevards are a pride to the city, aud it is the fashion, when ladies take a promenade, to arop into a confectioner's to eat "taatjes" or drink chocolate in the small, cosy rooms adjoining these shops. When a bevy ofJHolland's fair ones, intent upon sweetmeats, unluckily una tne room oc cupied by one- or more of the masculine persuasion, a retreat is made for the street door, which looks unladylike and undignified.

i To expect that gentlemen wouia pay those delicate little attentions to the fairer sex, such as turning the leaves of music, handing a chair, as is done in America, would be erroneous, converse ing with several ladies and gentlemen at an evening party, and wishing to use a book lying on the piano in the back parlor, I politely requested a young gentle man to bring it. The look oi absolute bewilderment that appeared on his physiognomy showed me that in some unknown manner I had committed an offense. He did bring it, but quietly informed me that such a request had never been made by a Holland lady. A Practical Englishman. From the Paris Morning Sews.

In a first-class oarriage in Germany an Englishman v.as observed to be constantly putting his head out of the window. The train was going fast, and a sudden gust of wind blew his hat off. With a frightful oath he reached down his hat-box and hurled it after the hat. Then he sat down and smiled on his fellow-passengers, but of course did not speak. The Germans roared with laughter, and one of them explained: "You don't expect your hat-box to bring your hat back to you, do you?" I ao," saia tne rjngiianman.

BThen those Germans subsided and said they had always considered the English a great and practical nation. Railroading tn Mexico. A Traveler" In the San FrancUeo Chronicle.

and there are two principal ways of doing it the outside way and the inside way. Most people try the outside way. It is the more odvious, ana nas Deen Known ior a great many years. The tailor and the dressmaker are its mainstays; padded shoulders and false hips are part of its "properties;" rouge and powder do their best to repair time's ravages on the complexion, and tbe eyelash pencil, the drop of belladonna and many another little aid are brought into requisition to put age and youth on the same level of attractiveness. me Maj.

I'endennises are not all dead yet, and they consider themselves still as fascinating to the ladies as the most blooming young Arthur in existence. As for the Blanches who preserve their ingenious youthful charms with artificial assistance, let their countenances and their tailor-made shapes speak for themselves. But this is only a similitude of keeping young, after all this outside way. The tailor may make the man, so far as looks go, but he doesn't make the Inside man the man as he is looked at by himself. How shall one keep young inside, and so really be, and not only seem, youthful after many years? Nof all men and women can waltz well, but if they want to keep young they must retain some of ir the youthful characteristics.

They may enjoy novels, and be ready to talk over the latest story with Miss just out or boarding-school, who thinks is "perfectly hor rid," and that "Springhaven" is "too lovely for anything," or vice versa. Better still, they may retain a fondness for gam es one of the best preservatives in the world. The devoted croquet player never can grow oia so long as ne retains his de votion. The base ball enthusiast remains a youth as loug as he can sit on the grand stand and shout when a favorite player raps tne Dan ior a nome run, ana even after that he can follow -the scores in the papers and talk as learnedly of tbe per son el of tbe different teams as if he bad a speaking acquaintance with every indi vidual member of them. Games preservative include In-door as well as out-door sports.

Here is an al most boundless field. Everybody knows the remark attributed to Tallerand. on hearing that a certain young man did not piaywnist -wnai an oia age he is pre' paring for himself There is a great principle mvoivea nere. the young man learn whist, by all meant; bnt if he wants to keep young let him cultivate a catholic taste and learn checkers and back gammon and chess and a dozen other games as well learn them well enough to enjoy playing them and his field of sesthetio de light is widened, his contact with human nature enlarged. Moreover, his probabilities of striking a point in common with any particular one of his fellow men with whom he may happen to get isolated at a summer ooaramg-nouse, ior instance, are immensely increased, ana nis adaptabil ltyto young society is made decidedly The main characteristics of the child mma are its curiosity and its receptivity.

Betain the capacity for being intret1 in new things and for wanting to know about things, and you have secured one of the key to perpetual youth. 8o long as one can live in the present and keep up mental gruwiu, one is memauy young.

The. Road Owns Its Tracks and Retains Its Business The Railroads. The final closing of the Vandalia deal on Sat urday and tbe election of new directors of the Terre Haute A Indianapolis with officers head- ed by Henry S. Ives for President and C. C.

Waite for Vice-President and General Manager and other H. D. men on the board and official roster has stopped all speculation as to the deal and has turned It into tbe direction of tbe outcome of it all. Rumors are thick as to what tbe Pennsylvania will do. and an Kinds of statements are made as to the plans of that road.

It Is said the Pennsylvania will rebnild the Indianapolis Yln-ceunes and will come Into t-t. Louis over the O. A which Is twenty-four miles longer than the Vandalia. One of the nrlncirtal statements made with reference to the deal Is that the Vandalia is in the power of the O. M.

because it nses three miles of Its track to get Into East St. Louis, and that a suit is now pending, bnt has been neglected and will be revived, to oust the Vandalia from this three miles of track, thus cutting It off from East St. Louis and St. Louis altogether, as railroad property is so scarce and high in East St. Louis as to render it Impossible for the road to buy Its rignt of way in.

This is one of tbe rumors which has absolutely no foundation in fact. General Superintendent Joseph Hill, speaking oi tnis statement to a foST-DlSPATCH representative to-day, denied it in toto. The Vandalia does not use a foot of O. A M. track in East St.

Louis and never has, but the Impression has perhaps gone abroad in this way: nen tne vandalia wanted to get into t-ast St. Louis the comnonv a strln nf property sixty feet wide and about three quarters of a mile long of the Ohio Mississippi. with tbe condition that the Vandalia fill up a large depression In the Ohio Mississippi yards. Tbe contract was signed by both parties and tue Vandalia built its own track over the strip and also filled up ail excepting a small portion of the de pression. When the Vandalia asked for its title the O.

M. officials called attention to the hole still unfilled and demanded the filling of it. Col. Hill had a conference with President Peabody, and offered to pay in cash the cost of the work, which offer was accepted, but the receivership of the Ohio Mississippi coming In nothing more was said about it. and the matter rests there.

The contract still holds, and the Vandalia people laugh at tbe Idea of theO. A M. ousting mem irom tneir own tracK. it is not believed here that any difference will be made In traffic arrangements, nor that tbe Pennsylvania will withdraw its business from the Vandalia. as there are mail contracts, tbe excellence of roadoed and tract and other considerations to restrain it, while it is argued that the O.

H. A D. people instead of driving away traffic would be anxious to retain It and tbe road can stand three times its present volnme of busi ness witnout strain, it is nrst-clasa condi tion, and has always paid dividends. The purchase was not au enormous one fin an cially, as only a small amount of the total stock of the Terre Haute Indianapolis Is required for the controlling interest oi tne anaaiia, wnicn is leased to It, and the Terre Haute Logansport, which is also leased. Of the total amount of stock, $1,988,150, $628,270 are in the treasury.

and hence only about $700,000 worth of stock Is required for the control. The deal is regarded here only as a change In ownership without having any effect on the traffio arrangements. The condition of the road is shown by tbe fact that the mall train was not late a single trip during the month of may. Startling Statements. St.
