season he was eligible to the 1928 class.
He was not long in obscurity, however, for
at Windsor, Ont, early in the season he
made a record of 1904 and lowered the
Canadian pacing record, feats that made
him the cynosure of all eyes in the harness
horse world. A few weeks later at Detroit
he negotiated a quarter in 28]3 seconds,
thus proving that he was well worthy the
earnest attention of such pacing stars as
Mascot, the king, Robert J. and Saladin.
He is a beautiful bay, with a black
name and tail, and is as steady on the
track as the proverbial clock. He is owned
by Bailey & Laird of Williamsport, Ind,
and Mansfield, O. If he continues to i'm
prove in speed, he will soon be formida~
bic rival for Robert j, Flying Jib, Mascot
and Saladin. AS Mr.. Hamlin has two
PAGERS that can defeat Rubinstein, the
rumor that he offered any such SUM as
$42, 900 for Rubinstein is probably I'M
founded. At the same time the handsome
black PAGER is one of the most promising
side wheelers on the turf and will without
doubt win a large amount of money before
he Is retired.

THE RAINMAkERS' CAR.

1t Costs 500 a Day, Whether the Earth
Gets q Drink or Not.
Rainmaking is generally regarded as
a modern institution, but Plutarch, who
lived over 1900 years ago, wrote that
''extraordinary rains pretty generally
fall after great battles.'' Others have
noted the fact since then and attributed
it to the conclusion produced by ex-
plosions Of gunpowder, but gunpowder
could not have caused the phenomenon
in Plutarch's day, because the explosive
was not used in battle, so far as known,
until many years after his death.
In Kansas and Nebraska the explosive
balloons which were used with varying
success several years ago have been dis
carded in favor Of a rainmaker's car
containing an elaborate laboratory,
from which gases are released. These
being lighter than air ascend with great
rapidity to 5000 or 5000 feet where
they intercept currents of moisture, turn
cold and sink, and thus form vacuum,
into which are drawn the moisture lad
en- currents. The Rock Island railway

wife. Harry L. Blake is the name of the
mandolin player, says The Enquirer. He
is about 40 years of age, while his wife is
at least 20 years his junior. He was a
