CHAPEL, A RUINOUS PILE.
Two weather-worn posts with drooping
gates stand at the entrance on Pnssyunk
avenue. Back of them In the thick of
the weeds is a slanty ruin that looks more
liko an old Spanish mission in southern
California than anything extant U)d.

Residents of Overlnook are making a

that the new In-coming line will run to
the junposed fl eight yard along .Mal

SPECULATION OVER FINALS.
Enthusiasts have now settled down t

Horses which have been consistent In
their actions under different riders, and
others which since tho opening of the

tho subject of considerable speculation,
Ono of the burning questions among spec

A number of favorites of other day
have continued in their old-time form at r

Among tlio hounds, tho principal com

exclusively to half-breed hounds which'
will bo seen; bitches, dogs singly and In
