WILL GO TO ENGLAND.
¥R. BELMONT’S HORSES TO RACE
ON THE OTHER SIDE.
American Horses to Be Thoroughly Test
ed, Together With Relative Training
systems—Henry of Navarre to Be Treat
ed For His Splint Before Shipment.
Henry of Navarre has gone into thé
pands of Dr. William BSheppard for
treatment of the splint on his near fore
leg. The course, which includes punch
firing, will probably take about six
weeks, and shortly after that the Sub
nrban winner, together with all his sta
ble mates, will be shipped to England,
where they will sojourn a year.
The news that Mr. August Belmont
has determined upon this step will be
received with a very genuine and gen
eral regret, which is the best evidence
of the feeling entertained toward the
maroon and scarlet of the Blemton sta
ble. But Mr. Belmont is not doing it
merely for self gratification, but be
cause he feels sure that it will be for
the nltimate good of the American turf
that it should be represented in Eng
land by so good a string of thorough
breds as he has now gathered together.
The idea is not a new one, and, indeed,
rumors indicating some such intention
on Mr. Belmont’s part have been print
ed. It was said that some of the older
Blemton stable horses would be ship
ped to England last fall, but Mr. Bel
mont finally contented himself with
sending five yearlings, of whom Terpsi
chore II was one, and two died after
landing. The last few weeks have prob
ably assured Mr. Belmont that he has
as good a lot of horses as he is likely to
get together and convinced him that
now is his time to try the experiment
he has so long had in mind.
As has been said, such representation
on the turf of the mother country is
particularly needed just at present in
order that enthusiasm for the sport for
its own sake may be stirred up as it was ‘
when Iroquois won the Derby and Fox
hall and Parole earned worldwide fame.
As Mr. Belmont says, if he can only
succeed in winning a classic race, per
chance the Derby, the matter will not
be merely a personal one, but a nation
al victory. !
The stable will be shipped virtually
as it is today, together with the major
ity of the yearlings Mr. Belmont will
have trained. It is understood that Mr.
Belmont will be in England during the
greater part of the time his horses are
there. He has long contemplated taking
an entire holiday, which no one can de
ny he has richly earned. Quite apart
from the onerous business cares that are
on his shoulders, the work he has had
in connection with turf affairs would
be enough to occupy any ordinary man'’s
entire time and brain. .
A gentleman, whose authority to have
a full knowledge of the matter is beyond
question, said the other day:
‘‘lt has lang been a cherished plan of
Mr. Belmont to race in England with a
first class stable of American thorough
breds and thoroughly test the relative
speed and stamina of the English and
American race horse as well as the
training systems of the two countries.
‘‘When could a better opportunity be
selected than the present? A stable con
taining such a race horse as Henry of
Navarre, not to mention Don de Oro,
Hastings, Keenan, Margrave, Wood
vine, Octoroon, ete., cannot be collected
every day, however much money one
may be willing to expend, while in
John Hyland Mr. Belmont has one of
the best trainers and in Henry Griffin
one of the best jockeys in the country.
In fact, most people would say that to
day Mr. Belmont has the best horses,
the best trainer and the best jockey in
America. Doessuch an aggregation of
ten fall to the lot of one man?
‘‘Then, too, though in Mr. Belmont’s
case, I consider it a minor considera
tion, no American gentleman that ever
went abroad with a stable has been re
ceived as he will be, partly owing to
the fact that as chairman of our Jockey
club he is ex officio a member of the
Jockey club, the most exclusive and
powerful club in England.
“‘Mr. Belmont will engage a training
establishment as near Newmarket as
possible, allow his stable to become ac
climatized and enter thoroughly into
the sport in the spring. Trials will be
made under both the English and Amer
ican systems—the trial horse and the
time test—and, with Hyland to train
and Griffin to ride the present materi
als in the stable, America will be well
represented for the first time since Mr.
Lorillard and Mr. Keene sent Iroquois
and Foxhall to England.
‘“Will the stable be successful? Yes,
if Henry of Navarre remains himself
and Don de Oro proves the horse I think
him to be. Our great horses are, in my
opinion, as great as those of England,
but I believe that the average English
thoroughbred is a better horse than the
e mesat Aaerican thorougnored. and 2

BROKE, BUT A SONG SAVED HIM.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
‘“As an illustration of the sentiment
awakeped by the old songs that belong
>to the southland,” said a Virginian in
‘the corridor of the Grand hotel the
‘other day, *“I want to relate the story
of an incident that came under my ob
servation while I was 1n London eight
or nine years ago.
“I wasa stranger and the prospect
was not a pleasant one, but I happened
to see the name of a man from my own
state on the hotel register, and, al
though I did not kuow him, determ:n
ed to send my card to his roowd. Then
a happy thought struck meand I hunt
ed up alt the southerners who were
stopping at the house, and, running a
sprig of mint tbrough a number of
cards, sent the ball boy to deliver them.
A half hour later eight men, two from
Virginia, four from Kentucky. one
from Georgia and two from Louisiana,
lined up before the bar, and—well, the
friendship thus formed lasted through
the week. A few evenings before my
sleamer was to sail the party was aug
mented by five more from the new
world, who were gatheredl aiound a
table ina comfortable cafe partaking
of a farewell supper.
“In the midst of the noise and laugh
ter no cne noticed an aged negro who
entered and stole quietly to one corner
of the room. Placing his hat on the
floor be swung his guitar into position
and attracted our attention by striking
a few preliminary chords, ana then in a
sweet melodious baritone he began to
sing “Ella Rea.”” Glasses were placed
quietly on the takle, the noise and lavgh
ter ceased,and we were all thinking alike
—ofjfhome,
I know I was, for there was a lump in
my throat as big asa ham.
The musician fol'owed with ¢‘‘Belinda
May:"”
“Lovely Belinda, Belinda. Belinda,
My sweet Belinda May;
I could work in the fields
And be happy all the day
1f you would only smile on me,
My sweet Belinda May.”
And then the guitar spoke softly for a
moment, and 1 fancied the old fellow's
vuice quiyered with emotion as the sweet
strains of “The Old Kentucky Home’’
flooded the room with a mist of tender
memories,
The hat was filled in 2 moment, paper
money, silver and gold pieces were
fairly rained into it, the recipient, look
ing on in amazement, at last he broke
out with:
“Bress God, gen’l’'men. You all must
come from home. Yes, sah, gen'’men,
I knows you do, cayse dey don’ do
no s?ch things as dis yeah in dis coun
try.’ ;
‘*‘Where do you come from, uncle?’
asked some one, ‘‘and how do you hap
pen to be way out here?”
“Lemme tell you, gen’l'men. I come
from Georgia, an’ was bo'n in Atlanta.
You seel kinsing tol'able well, an’
one day a yaonkee gen'l'maa cum down

Well, there is not much more to tell,
only the following Saturday saw the old
fellow on one of the big steamers with
his passage paid to America and enough
moaey to carry him back safely to his
home in Georgia. |

AN ODD WEDDING PERFORMED ON
A SMALL ISLAND,
Thurey Bridesmaids, Clad In White, Formeqg
a Horseshee About the Pair—He g He
brew, She a Quakeress—The Wedding
March From “Lohengrin” Chanted,
On the wooded inland in Jackson
park, Chicago, at 7 o’clock the other
evening, was celebrated the most unique
wedding ceremony ever performed in
the ciiy of Chicago. Thirty bridesmaids,
robed in pure white, chanted the words
which bound Miss Boutine Butler to.
Walter S. Lieber. |
\ Both parties are highly connected in
the east, and the peculiar ceremony was
written by friends, with the assistance
of the bride, who is a Quakeress. The
groom is a wealthy Philadelphia mer
chant and is of the Jewish faith. Mrys.
Lieber is also from Philadelphia and
has been attending the Chicago Kinder
garten association course for several
months. During that time she lived at
the House of Gertrude, 530 Forty-sey- l
enth street,
The difference in faith of the couple
had long been the cause of preventing
their marriage, but love conquered, with
a compromise, at last. As no rabbi
would unite them, and as there is no
marriage ceremony among the Quakers,
it was decided some months ago to have
a ceremony never before performed, and
in order to keep the matter as quiet as
possible it was thought that Chicago
would be preferable to the home of the
contracting parties. Monday the bride
groom went to Chicago, while the bride
remained at the House of Gertrude,
where the greater number of her brides
maids, classmates in the kindergarten,
work and live.
All the arrangements had been made
upon one of the picturesque peninsulas
which -project from the wooded island,
and the party gathered just before sun
down. There had been rehearsals of the
ceremony, and there was no delay. The
30 bridesmaids, clad in white, formed
a horseshoe about the principals and
chanted the wedding march from Lo
hengrin. As their voices floated out over
the water the bride and groom stepped
to the center, and a circle was formed
about them by the chanting brides
maids. There the couple pledged alle
giance in the form written by the Lride.
When the gods of romance were ap
peased, Justice of the Peace Gideon E.
Clark of Hyde Park, who was present,
satisfied the demands of the law by ask
ing a question or two and pronouncing
them man and wife.
" After the knot was thus tied another
song was sung, and one of the ladies ut
tered a few words in prayer. Then the
twenty-third Psalm was chanted.
Before the company parted one of the
bride’s schocl friends spoke a few words
of tender regard for her and her hus
band, and all then proceeded to the
House of Gertrude. Every window in
the building was brilliantly illumi
nated, and as the members of the wed
ding party mounted the stairs they were
showered with flowers, and the strains
of a wedding march began in the music
room.
Led by the newly wedded couple, the
company marched through the apart
ments, which were decorated with ferns
and flowers of every hue, and after mak
ing this circuit the leaders took seats of
honor prepared for them, while Their
friends and ardent admirers sang with
vigor and with clapping of hands their
mallying cry:
“G-E-R-R-T-R-U-D-E-E-E!”’
To this salute Mr. and Mrs. Lieber
returned the Chautauqua wave. Then,
at the tap of a bell, there came the wed
ding cake, and in addition to this were
30 marriage loaves, especially prepared
for the 30 bridesmaids. Refreshments
were then served, and before every
course there was a toast. The bride, the
groom and the rest of the party were
each separately honored. Every toast
was followed by the war ery of the Sis
terhood of the House of Gertrude. Aft
er the festivities Mr. and Mrs. Lieber
took a cable car to the depot, where
they boarded a train for Detroit. They
will live in a new home in Philadelphia.
The bride is a distant relative of the
Hornblowers and Whitneys of New
York.—New York Journal™

WHAT THEY EAT IN EGYFT.
’Ksbob and Green Cakes Form an Epi
curean Menl For Five Centas.
~ Margherita Aclina Hamm, a clever
writer.on the New York Muil and Esx
press, says that every country has its
own little delicacies, and the British
soldiers who pour into Lzypt undoubt
edly buy from the sireet hawkers the
green cakes, and possibly the kabobs,
for which the land of the Nile is fa
mous.
The kabob is broiled meat, but is
broiled in so ridiculous a fashion as to
be really funny. The peddler uses a lit
tle charcoal furnace, something like
those in use by our plumbers. In it he
keeps up a small but hot fire. Attached
to the side of the furnace is a lot of
iron skewers. When a customer ap
proaches, the hawker takes a small piece
of meat, mutton or goat, the latter being
the most popular, cuts it with a sharp
knife into a long ribbon, winds it around
the skewer and places it over the char
coal fire. Some of the drippings are col
lected, and, with a little salt or salt and -
spice, makes a pleasant sauce for the |
kabob when it is done. The cooking is
very rapid. What with the heat of the
fire and the thinness of the meat, it is
thoroughly done in two or three minutes.
The green cakes are nothing more or
less than small wheaten cakes mixed
with chopped green leaves of various
kinds salted and baked in a slow oven.
They are pale yellow, yellow gray and
brownish gray, with irregular splashes
of green on both the upper and lower
surfaces. They are said to be very nour
ishing, and they are certainly very ap
petizing and palatable when fresh from
the oven. Almost any kind of green leaf
which is used as human food serves for
making a green cake. The humble cab
bage and the aristocratic petit pois vert,
the watermelon rind and the celery
top, the string bean and even the aspar
agus tip have been used for the purpose.
In addition to the nutritious leaf there
is nearly always a flavoring leaf. The
commonest is parsley, and after this
comes fennel, fenugreek, sorrel, bay and
laurel,
The green cake of the market varies
from 2 to 4 inches in width, but is rarely
more than a quarter of an inch thick.
About one-half are made by ba'ers and
one-half by the women of the working
classes.

its quiet. The noisier the club the lower
