There was a very satisfactory start, with "Whiteboy showing the way. At the post Mr. Tierco's pony had an advantage of three lengths over Lucky Gem and Tinker, Winning flazard being at the tail of the field. Whiteboy led the whole way raun into the home, straight, when the ponics galloped along practically in line There was a strenuous struggle for supremacy near home. The jockeys urged their mounts for all they were worth, and Johnstone was the more successful, pass ing the winning post half a length ahead of Lucky Gom, who was a similar dis tance in front of ideal Dahlia, with all. the ponies quite close.

She was introduced to Stein- hauer, and she quite innocently kelped a woman spy to settle in England. To the German there is not the least, chôms in spying for his counter, and the most exalted personages are willing to bo useful.

At the beginning of last year the gover russ Felt Trouble in the air. She decl- dentally learned of a secret visit to Berlin
of Enver Pasha and the Egyptian Prince Mohommed Ali, and frequent consulta- tions of general officers were held in her prince's house. In May over the pesants in the Black Forest were talking of the coming war, which they imagined would be with Bussia only, and not with France and England. She heard so much and was moved by her patriotic feelings to write a long letter to Sir Edward Gos chon then still British Ambassador in Berlin.

in the world, yet the strange thing is that no outsiders ever understand us. That is why they cannot do us justice in their books and articles, even when they wish to, which is not often, for they are jealous of our success. Even you in England and the United States are jealous.'
The governess discussed the Kaiver with an old Scotch nurse who had been for years in the prince's family and who evidently had all the powers of observa- tion that belong to her nation. The nurse had no illusions about the Kaiser's love of England.
He may like some of his high-up Eng list friends as well as he likes anybody besides liraself, but he despises the nation, and thinks it has gone to sleep. All the same, he's afraid of it, I believe. That sounds like a contradiction; but tho Kaiser is a contradiction So is the Crown Princes So is our prince. They would all three like nothing better than war with England, Yon mark my words, all that the German Kaiser and his sons (and their set which our prines is in) like about the British nation is what it has got.....
BERNHARDI BUDE.
During a visit to the famous Krupp villa, our governess met Bernhardi, who was frankly rude when he was told that she was English, though his manners im- proved when he received the further in- formation that she had an American grandfather.

The letter was cased of having betrayed the trust of her employers, and was put under virtual, if comparatively comfortable arrest in the same castle on the Rhine which had been. her first German home. From there she escaped with quite surprising exce, and arrived in London early in October.

Bernhardi was particularly scornful in his references to Great Britain.
The prince, though kapwing me to be 1st 2nd 3rd English (which Befabardi, to do him jus
tice, did not), backed the gencral up, exwhich he prayed that Pheroze Bantanji plaining for my benefit as well as tho chldren's that England might once have been nominally the most powerful nation owing to her talent for grabbing posses aloes all over the world and the cleverness of her diplomacy. But, he said, that was different now, under the Liberal Govern ment. England was going down exactly as Rome had gone down and the krell of her groutness was sounding already. Not one of her colonies would stand by her when her day of trouble should come, and most of them would go against her.
