daily drive over the kite shaped track
and show the wonderful speed of
some green hOrse.n This is SO COM

drives up with such q horse a half
dozen watches are ready to ''time
him. at once. Yesterday when Mr..
| Frierson drove up, contrary to his
usual practice, he was full of "what
this PAGER can do" So much so, that
ne soon mad a good crowd around
who wanted him to "cut him
loose" as much, no doubt, To see Il
| I st horse go, as how a Presby
terrain would hold the ribbons "An
right" said Mr.. Frierson, ''just be
ready on the last quarter and you'll
see something move" and punching
| old Jim up with his umbre liza, he drove
off down the stretch while the crowd
waited with ready watches. Twenty
minutes passed aud at last the
precious pair caine slowly down the

this morning. He says the bridge
over Duck river looks much higher
| while quietly taking it a-foOt than it
does in Pullman sleeper.
