The subject which just now engages the
is the coming contest for the Merchants and
Manufacturers stake of So 900, which takes
place at Detroit during the week beginning
July 20. Interest is at high tide among
horsemen throughout the country, and the
chances of the different probable starters are
canvassed with earnestness wherever horse
talk is heard. This great fixed event Of
the Blue Ribbon meeting has come to be
regarded as the star event Of the year in the
horse world. Some one has aptly termed 1t
the Blue Ribbon of the Trotting Turf,
borrowing the popular title of the famous
English Derby.
For the third annual renewal of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers, there were
thirteen subscribers when the stake closed
last April, all Of whom have made good the
payments due to date. Nominators must
| name their horses on Monday next and as
| the time draws near subscriptions are in
great demand. Secretary Campbell reports
| ten applications, within as many days, from
owners of promising trotters, who are anxious
| to purchase at premium the right to nomi-
| nate their horses for the event. 1t may be
/
| the fastest young trotters in the world will
score up for the word this year. A very
great race is sure to develop among so many
good ones.
The clever Kansas City trainer, Bob
Stewart, again has his eye on the big prize,
and il there is truth in the stories told of the
speed that Ryland I. is showing in his work
at Terre Haute, the Missourian may be able
to repeat his victory of a year ago. Ry-
lands record is 2:304, but it is said that he
has already trotted better than 2:20 this sea-
son, and is gaining speed at the rate of a
second a week. The horse is doubtless q
marvel in point of speed, and Stewart seems
to be saving him for the event.
A starter that looks to be " in it " from
first to last is Honest George named by A
7. Haws, of Pennsylvania This horse made
a record of 1921 in the sixth heat of a race
last week. lie is fast and slayer
Another eastern entry that will be strongly
! fancied is Lakewood Prince, owned by Van
dergrift & Odel, of New York. His RECORD
is only 2:25, but he seems to have habit o
winning his races no matter how fast tn
time may happen to be.
Andy Mcdowell, who trains for the Mon
tana copper king, Marcus DAILY, will star
one of the fast ones in his stable, probabl
Fantasia, 2:25.
The bay gelding, Prince NJ, from L
; Porte, Ind, is another fast one that ma
start for the great stake His record is 2:19a
made last week. and it is said he can trot
2:15.
Others that will probably be named arr
! Nutting King, 2:25f, very fast Kentuck
stallion; Matte H., 2:24t likewise from ii
|, blue grass region; Clara c., 2:2St, owned
= 7. 1. Case, of Wisconsin; Bismont, 2:2
! from the stable of Gov. Harris, of Chicag
and Michgan's representative, Sir Arthu

2 ent the remaining starters cannot be foreto
= with aany certainty, but race-goers a

Changes Of Climate

known. Particularly is this the case in in
stances where the constitution is delicate,
and among our immigrant population seek

The best preparative for change of climate
or of diet and water, which that change
necessitates, is Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
which not only fortifies the system against

BIG WHITE TENTS.
Something About Their Future, and
the Men Who Invest Fortunes In
Them.

Within little over year two OF the
most unique and typical Americans that
ever rose from penury to opulence have
passed from the arena of life and joined
the ever increasing parade to which the
.'miIes of free street pageantry" OF their
biz shows, even when measured by the
exaegeration of the high soaring, imagin-
alive bill writer, are but the merest
mimicry of the mighty silent majority.
A careful survey of the field reveals the
fact that the coming men are not from
the rank and file of those we may term
the old liners, but from the later and
more energetic additions of amusement
caterers, among whom by far the most
prominent, wealthy and capable are the
Ringing Bros, who have for the last fe "
wears lacked only the prestige time alone
can give 10 place them on an equal foot
ing with Barnum and Forepaugh. AS
regards the latter two shows the public
will look with interest upon their move
,ments. and see If they can be successfully
run without their former leaders. The
greatness of these mems shows was toe
much centred in their remarkable per
.,sonality to survive the grave. There are
other shows that might come in for 6
chance in the race, were 1t not for thu
fact that they are presided over by mer
grown old in the business, who have lonl
since reached the limit of their possibili
ties. On the contrary, the Ringlini
Bros. are young men who have hardl.
more than started on their career as
leading big show, and when the enor
NOUS strides they have made in lat
years in bringing before the public
show OF truly wonderful merit and pre-
portions, is considered, conjecture fails
place limit on their present as well a
future possibilities Besides these cor
alterations there are five of the Ringlin
brothers, each one capable of managln
any one of the large circus institution!
vet the efforts of the five are directed t.
ward the proper management OF the on
great show. They have also taken ste
in the right direction by never resortin
to any of the cheap, woolly-horse an
whitew acknowledgement style OF feature
of their older but less conscientious RI
ais, and, while many are blindly imita
ing the great Snowman who said that III
American people wanted to be hun
plugged, these self-emulating young me
have built monument to themselves
adhering to the idea that the publ
wants what 1t pays for and Is entitled

Mr.. Edward Atkinson and party ar
rived in Salem yesterday afternoon on
their pleasure trip through the iron sec
ton of Virginia and Tennessee.
a lumber Of prominent citizens met
them as they alighted from their special
car at the depot and escorted them to
the carriages in waiting for them.
The following gentlemen were in the
party that came down from Roanoke:
Col. Charles &. Eddy and John OFT, of
Roanoke; Edward Atkinson, II. j. Dor
den, a. q. Pierce, G. w. Amory. &. X.
Richardson, l.. NJ. Sergent and Prof.

Among the delegation of citizens who
drove the party through Salem and its
suburbs were j. w. Il. Allemong, Capt.

w. Griffin, Prof. Crabtree, George Allen,
Mr.. Leigh, OIL. Stearnes, IS. Stearnes,
Mr.. Kizer, NlesSr5. McClung and
the Salem correspondents of the Roam

city is TO be obtained with the clear,
winding Roanoke river in the fore
ground and the blue mountains in the
background.
Travcrsing the laads of the Victoria
and Steelton land companies the party
forded the river at Langhorn's mill,
and drove down to Main street, and
thence upon the hill behind Lake
Spring, from there driving to Roanoke
College, where the visitors left their
carriages and walked across the cam
pus to the chemistry labora tory, which
they were shown through by Professor
Smith.
Driving past East Hill Cemetery and
over the lands OF the improvement
company, the party, after visiting the
Bank Of Salem building, were driven to
the depot, where their special car left at
6 o'clock for Radford.
But for the fact that the day was
windy and dusty and the beauty of the

However, they were we'll pleased with
Salem and it's beautiful location.

The defense of Cawnpore by hand
full of British against the army of Mana
Sahib in June, 1857, was as heroic as
anything recorded in history, though
in the end it went for nothing. Gen.
Sir Hugh Wheeler was in command
when the mutiny occurred, and not
withstanding he had but 800 fighting
men under him he resolved to save the
women and children at all hazards.
Notifications were hastily thrown up,
and every preparation made for a des-
perate defense. The siege began on
the 9th of June. From the first the
sufferings of those within the fort were
terrible. "The sky" says one writer,
~was little less than great canopy of
fire; the summer breeze was as the
blast of furnace; to touch the barrel
of a gun was to recoil as from red-hot
iron"
"The deficiencies of the position as a
place of defense" says another write-,
soon became apparent. 1t was ex-
posed to a continuous cannonade from
heavy siege guns, and to a ceaseless
hailstorm of musketry fire from q range
of buildings just outside the entrench-
ments. All attempts of the mutineers
to push forward were fercely driven
back, and a general attack upon the
British position was defeated with
heavy loss to the assailants."
By June IL all the artiIlerymen were
wounded or killed, and soon after that
the building which sheltered the
women and children and the sick was
burned down. Hunger, thirst and dis
ease were added to the other horrors
and in the three weeks that the siege
lasted $50 bodies were inferred in a
large well within the inclosure This
number was greatly increased when
after the surrender, Mana Sahib caused
all the prisoners to be butchered and
flung into the common tomb. Over
this well now stands a marble shrine
surmOunted by q beautiful statue of
the Angel of Peace. The spot Is one
of the most pathetic in India.
