STOLE THE REPORT.
The Democrat Faxed Its Direct Hal
Pointer Write-Up.

Pointer Writs-Up.
EDITOR HERALp-Readers of the
Democrat residing IN your city must
PROFESSIONALLY have been surprised
that the introduction TO the Hal
Pointer-Cirect race. together With .
vast amount of verbose and pointless
slush on the races, which appeared in
that paper yesterday morning. was
stolen bodily from an exchange and
adapted to the occasion. Here 10 the
way the sporting reporter appropriated
the product of another's brain and
palmed it OF ~ his own:
"The equine idol of Tennessee, the
the home Of the fleetest pacing warriors
the turf has ever known. has laid at
his feet the crest of the peerless sable
wonder from the vinsclad Mills of Cali
fornia and is acknowledged today the
thrice crowned king of all race horses
of his kind. After the race
the victorious horse was led to his stall
unbedecked with garlands, which fade
with the day. The cheers which filled
the air died away with the cheering,
but the fame of the day. the track and
the victory will 60 down into history
written IN bright letters on the flares.
page of turf annals"
Now this would be very pretty If it ap-
piled to the race between Hal Pointer
and Direct-but it doesn't. The race
WAS in no sense great. 1t was not even
q spirited contest. There wasn't q
particle of enthusiasm In any start or
finish. 1t was q walkaway for Hal
Pointer-simply that and nothing more.
There wasn't anything IN the race that
will go down IN history. The reporter
that stole the introduction would have
been more honest had he credited it TO
the American Trotter. where it was
first used to describe race that was
historic. VISITING HoRsEMAN.

MIDWAY IN THE CAMPAIGN.


1t is gratifying upon reaching half
way station in the national canvass to
observe that some of the most optimistic
predictions concerning it are being en-
tirely fulfilled. Up to the present,
with but few exceptional instances, the
batting has been right along the
line of the main issue. From coast to
coast there has been abundance of ora
tory and proselyting. Mr.. Reid has his
coat off and is working as if he earned
wages by the piece; Mr.. Stevenson is
scurrying hastily about in high-tariff
districts; the presidential candidates
are conducting themselves discreetly,
and Messrs. Mckinley, Reed, Boies and
others are directing the steam of their
persuasive talk into willing ears. And
everywhere this campaign is being
fought intelligently, considerably,
coldly-even politely-on the question
of the tariff. OF personality there is but
