Whip-ExcitinE Scenes at the Fleet
wood Races.
NEW YORK, Sept. LIN epite of the
weather 5000 people attended
the races at Fleetwood park to day. In the
opening heat of the postponed free-for-all
pace the horses got away on very even
terms. When they reached the lower turn,
Blue Sign, Roy Wilkes and Vitello got into
a scrimmage, in which Blue Sign was cut
down very badly and crippled for life on
the forward foot. In the meantime Budd
Doble and Kelly were fighting 1t out with
Manager and Flying Jib and at the last
half mile Doble tried to go through next
the rail, when Kelly drew in on him, think
ing he would pull his horse up; instead,
DobIe ran the PAGER up to Kelly's sulky
and deliberately slashed him with his whip,
causing an ugly wound on Kelly's face.
The latter then opened up the space
and Doble tried to gain, but Kelly
held him up to the stretch, when Doble
used his whip to good advantage on Man
ager and landed him winner by half
length. The behavior of the two drivers
displeased the judges, 80 they decided to
fine Doble 500 and Kelly had to be salts
fed with fifth place in the heat. Manager
took the next two heats and the race. In
the fifth heat Flying Jib went to the half
in 1:042, beating all previous track rec
ords.
The Hartford purse for three year-olds
brought only two horses to the post. Mar
grave won easily.
In the final heat of the 1924 trot King
wood finished first, but was put back for
being out Of his stride, and the race was
given to Charley Green.
Grey Dawn won the four-year-old race
easily.

DOING HIS DUTY.
Col Burlington Unjustly Criticised for En-
forcing Regulations

Col. A. r. Buffington's order as
that hereafter passes to the arsenal
will be issued for no longer than one
day has occasioned something of
storm among some tri-city papers
and the Moline epublican-Journal
comes forth with the following: 1T
is understood that a petition is to be
Cleveland asking that Col. Burlington
be removed from this post as COM
mandant."
The ARGUS is happy to say it has
heard of no such petition as is
referred to. and it sincerely hopes
the Moline paper is misin-
formed. The ARGUS has not inquired
into Col. Bullington'S motives in
issuing the order. but it is conf
dent that he has been guided
solely by conscientious desire to
properly enfore the regulations and
restrictions surrounding his govern
ment of Rock Island arsenal The
new rule does not apply to passes
now outstanding, but the limitation
placed on future passes is doubtless
due to abuses of privileges hitherto
extended. As far as Col. Burlington
is personally concerned all who have
met him are pleased with him. He
IS probably more of a peoples man
than any of his predecessors at the
arsenal and his disposition wherever
he has been called upon to act has
always been to show himself in full
accord and sympathy with the peo-
pie of the three cities and their best
interests. 1t is for this reason that
the ARGUS believes that people
prone to criticise him don't know
him.
Attending Faithfully to Duty.
The Davenport Tribune expresses
the idea pretty thoroughly when it
says:
Col. Burlington has been misJudged
by the public largely because he
hasn't sought social relations with
the people of the three cities to any
extent. Col. Burlington isn't So
cietv man. and never has been. but is
devotcdly attached to scientific pur-
suits. There isn't professional
man i'll the three cities who spends
so much time ut his desk and in his
studies aS does the colonel The re-
suit OF all this research OF keen
mind has been given to the country
in the form of inventions that are the
envy OF foreign military circles-the
Burlington gun carriage and brake,
methods for testing the strength OF
metals. and other scientific devices.
He is probably the best posted man
on metals in the United States army
today. and machinery is being added
to the arsenal to develop his new
ideas He looks into the details of
all the work done there. He can't
be hulldozed. and there probably
isn't man in America that cares less
for the praise or criticisms of the
public than he does. He has vio-
lated no law. he runs the arsenal ac-
cording to military rules. and its
boSh to talk of his removal. even if
he does commit the objectionable sin
OF refusing To become an attraction
in tri-citv society. Col. Burlington
understands his business. and the
war department knows it.
