preferred against patrolmen Ward and
Carter by Thomas Callahan. Some time
ago the colored policemen were assigned

The officers were ordered to keep the
corner clear, and one evening found Thomas
Callahan there and tried to have him move
on. The young man refused to obey, and
the officers say they took him by the arm
and marched him away. This was too

indianapolis Driving Club Feels
Proud of Its Entries.

If the manner in which the entry book of
the Indianapolis Driving Club has filed up
the people of indianapolis and the State
may anticipate at the fall meeting some of
the finest racing in the country. The club
offered thirteen stakes, and twelve of them
are filled, only one of the lot failing to at
tract entries The total amount offered is
$4,000. There total of 2S9 entries in
the twelve stakes, and it is expected that
there will be about 500 entries when the

couraged at the outlook Other racing man
agements over the country are failing to re-
ceiye entries for their events, they say
most of the racing associations and clubs
being compelled to declare half of their
events untitled. 1t is claimed the Terre
Haute management has, much to its cha
grin, been forced to declare all of its events
off on account of lack of entries. With
these signal failures in mind, the Indianap-
oils Driving Club feels that the meet here
promises big things. and if the people do
not attend it will not be from lack of
good racing.

was very pretty for while, but soon
got to be one-sided affair, as Pittin-

field, his feeders muffing several
good flies and letting several ground
ers pass them. Pittinger pitched a
good game and had the fielding been
good they would have given our boys

game, being in fine trim, and Zim-
norman held him down to every
point. The score resulted " to ) in

Had an Ear for Music.

Last Tuesday morning as the mer-
curry in the thermometers was search
ing for ninety and nine, two itinerant
vendors of music from Italy's sunny
CLINE located themselves in the shade
of a large maple tree in front of the
residence of DR.. Bland and immediate
ly opposite the Herald office. They
were armed with squeaky fiddle and
an immense triangular wooden frame
with some wires stretched across it.
About the close of the first rounde-
lay countryman drove up. He had
three or four nearly empty strawberry
crates in his wagon and was in pleas
ant humor with all mankind. The
tum, tum, too, tum, tum, too of the
dagoes caught his ear and he dropped
cent into the Italians hat with the
injunction: CHOW play some more"
Music, wild AMI wierd, nerve de-
stroying, and ear piercing filled the
air and the soul of Mr.. Hayseed.
Opening one of the crates he fshed
out box of berries and was about to
pour them into the hat when it was
withdrawn with look of scorn. But
he was not to be baffled. Drawing a
shot bag from his pocket, he selected
bright silver quarter and deposited
it with the Italian with the remark,
"They's no flies on me. Now give
us some more 7" Listen to the
Mockingbird'' was next in the repor-
toire, but it was too much for the
countryman who caught at his lines,
gave them jerk and calculated, "Git

refrain to the music, came Straw

bling among the branches and leaves
of the maple tree, from the foot OF
