The lovers of racing got racing on the
Fair grounds, yesterday, until they
ought to have been ready 10 halo
enough.
Instead of being satisfied, however,
more than thousand excited men were
about the grand stand at a quarter after
seven last night, clamoring for seventh
heat of the 2:24 trot.
1t was too dark for the horses to CO.
however, and after Starter Lehman had
said. at seven o'clock, the race would be
finished. he was forced to announce d
postponement.
There were four events on the pro-
gramme, and every one was daisy.
The attendance was very large for the
second day of the racing, some esumat-
ing the crowd as more numerous tnan
ever before. on the same day, at
Wheeling Fair. This is perhaps niue
strong. but not very bad exhibition OF
Judgment. The weather was perfection,
being slightly warmer than I&esuay,
while there was no wind, and therefore
no blowing dust. The track was IN goou
condition without being in strictly me
shape. and the time made was very sat
isfactorv. EXCEPT towards the last OF the
big trot where the horses got a httie
plaved as is shown by the figures Tor the
sixth heat. Two slight accidents &C
Cured but IN each case the drivers es-
caped personal injury, and there was
but slight damage to the rigs.

How Big Is q Cow?

In the American report of the COM
missioner of education for 1923, pub
lished at Washington last year, there is
a most thorough-going report on ''Child
Study" or, as it is sometimes called,
'.Paidology." A photography of about
seven pages, in books and articles,
shows how much attention has been
bestowed on the subject in the United
States. DR.. Stanley Hill, president of
a society for this study, tells us that in
1879 four Undergraduates" in Boston
took some children aside and endeav-
ored to find out the contents of their
minds, and the result was published in
the Princeton Review for 1880. DR..
Stanley Hill says: ''Thirty-three per
cent. of these children on entering
school had never seen live chicken;
81 per cent. had never seen a robin;
IS per cent. had never seen a growing
strawberry; II per cent of the Boston
children had never seen growing beans,
even in Boston. Our school text books
are based on country life, and the city
child knows nothing, in the large cities.
of real country life" Here is one in
stance: A large percentage of these
children, upon being asked how large a
COW was, showed that they had little
idea. One thought cow was as large
as her cats tail. Another thought a
COW was as big as her thumb nail. One
would like to know if these young folks
had never seen the picture of GOVT
