favor OF an extra session OF Congress ini-
mediately after the November elections and
that the only hitch in the arrangements
arises from the strong objections to the plan
which have been conveyed to the President
from some Of his closest political allies. The
President, it is stated, is asking the opinion Of
republican Congressman when they call on him.

THoRouoH IMPROVEMENTS AT THE TRACK FOB THE

READY ARRyED-THK PROGRAM OF THE WEEK.
Substantial improvements are being made at
the Bennings course in anticipation Of the race
meeting which commences next Tuesday.
Washington this year will have the pleasure
Of seeing a much better grade Of horses test
ing their speed than she has looked on for sew
ersl years.
When the band plays and the flags wave and
the crowd gathers next week at Bennings sew
eral changes will be seem The betting lawn
has been extended a number Of feet and is now
large enough to fully acco mmodate the crowds
Of betters that formerly found very little elbow
room.
ron THE COMFORT OF THE SPECTATORS.
The east end OF the grand stand, where form
erly the cold winds had free and untrammeled
entrance, has been giassed up, which while IL
will not interfere with the light will make sit
ting on the stand much more comfortable than
In former years.
The Enclosure for the newspaper boys has
also been Widened.
IMPROVED srABLINa.
The changes at the track have not been
solely for the benefit Of the audiences. Tho
horses have come in for share of the changes
The stables have been increased by four,
the new buildings being constructed on o plan
OF President Draney. They have no center pas
sageway, the box stalls being tight and open
ing directly ON the outside. Above each stall
is loft. which can be used for hay and sleep
ing purposes. There are accommodations at
Bennings now for something like 200 horses,
and good accommodations, too.
The club house has been painted and fyed
up and looks attractive and natty as posi-
bic. So far as the track goes it is in frst-rate
trim. level and smooth as a billiard table.
The infieid has changed so that it looks alto
gether different place from the ragged and
bare lawn of last year. The ground has been
smOothed out and grass is growing, while the
steepIechase jumps, which are scattered
around, add variety to the field.

~ schools
II Is generally known that in 1914
Captain John Smith. Of Pocahontas
fame. made a trip to what Is now
Gardiner. Me-. but there was an Incl
dent that occurred during that visit
that IS known by very few people. Tho
incident in question resembles very
closely that OF the Indian maiden Po-
cohontas that has been handed down to
posteritv.
At the time OF Smiths visit here the
valley Of the Cobbossce-contee stream.
which at this point joins its water with
the Kennebec river, was inhabited BY .
powerful and intelligent branch Of In
dians called Cabassas. belonging to tho
kennebec clan. which was in turn one Of
the tribe OF Abcnakies. The Cabassas
were presided over by a chief. having
headquarters at what Is now Gardiner.
known as Cabassa, who had a daughter
named Schools. famed among her tribe
for her beauty and grace. She was, IN
fortunately. smitten at once with the
gallant Captain. who was. by the way,
tIt MA"A " ~ IAAn W tAAf1t - 49,
and who was received with great cor
diality. Smith had with him a Lieu
tenant named Hunt, who was Of rather
a quarrclsomc disposition and prone to
mutiny.
When the time came for the party OF
whites to depart Hunts mutinous spirit
showed itself. and with q small party OF
followers he left Smith. going in an OPP
positc direction. His party took with
them rs captivcs several of tho tribe Of
Cabassas.
The chief considering the whites one
party. by a great mistake followed Cap
tain Smiths loyal band. which camped
that night about four miles from the
present location Of Gardiner, in an cast
erly direction. Schools thinking TO
warn the Captain hurried on before the
party OF enraged Indians, but arrived
too late, for as she arrived at the camp
the first volley Of arrows was delivered.
Thinking to save Smith. she fed to
him. threw her arms about his neck,
and In that position received an arrow
in the breast that caused instant death.
The chief was palsied 1t the accident.
and ordered hostilitics to cease. This
allowed Smith 81 opportunity to ex-
plain that IL was the other party that
had pcrpctratcd the Kidnapping.
After q sorrowful return and the
burial Of Schools lei the Randolph
church. opposite this city, the party OF
red men went in search Of Hunt He
was overtakcn near Norridgc wock and
his band cxtcrminated toa man.
Captain Smith had the martyred -
boots TO thank for his life. for the arrow
