1onns, Kite-Shaned Track.

This track is famous before it is
finished. Why? Because it is the
second one in the world and the first,
and only one in the South. When
men have the originality and courage
to do things other men won't 40 Ghey
are sure to get themselves talked
about. Thus it was, when MI.
williams, of Independence, Iowa,
conceived the idea of building
kite-shaped track at his home, every
horse man in the whole county began
to inquire who Williams was anu ~
where was Independence and 10
discuss the merits and dement's oil
his track. And then when Mr.. Jones
concluded to do the same thing down
South. the same kind of talk was IN
duIUed in. until now the names OF
Williams aud Jones, and Independ-
ence and Columbia, may be FOUND IN
almost any stock paper you pick up.
Another week and the track mere
will be finished. The interest," grows
"a il nears completion. Ed Gders
tbinLs II will be the fastest track III
the world. 1t is bound to be last
the stretches are long and both down
grade. while the turn is well thrown
1p and easy to go. The "start-away
and Ueome hOmer are both so straight
and easv, that 1t will be fun for horses
to break the records they worked 80
hard to make. a.,
A HERALD reporter was out at the
track this week, and in the Column ia

+bese horses before. The last named
Is q plum good one. He cost his
owners SI875 last Spring as a three
vearooId. but before he reaches his
fourth birthday will pay for himself I'm 1
nrinciple, keep and interest. That Is
IL looks and breeding and early
nromise count for anything.
