Fast Pacing And No Driver.
Unique Racing Methods OF Wis.
consin Mare.

A beautiful blooded mare tha
PAGES against time and records OF
ordinary courses, without driver, ride
or prompting of any kind, and We
follows every regulation of the race
track, is the latest marvel of the sport
ing world. The mare is named
Marion Mills, and this entirely new
departure in racing methods has just
been successfully introduced by Mr..
G. w. Athearn, wealthy resident of
Oshkosh, WIS.
1t is only recently that Mr..
Athearn conceived the novel idea OF
having his mare go through her pace
alone. He took her to the race track
at Oshkosh for a trial, and the first
mile was travelled in a manner which
convinced her owner that his scheme
would not be impossible of accom-
plishment. In each subsequent trial
she improved in speed and smooth
ness of performance. The exhibition
is simpler in detail than one might
sappose. There is no pacemaker,
no guiding, no whipping, no urging,
no interference or prompting of the
mare in any way. She knows her
lines and goes through them without
faltering and with every evidence of
full confidence in her own knowledge
and ability.
She is led to point about hun
dred yards from the wire, and is in
perfect action when she receives the
word I" Go" from the starter i'll the
judges stand. On getting the word
the handsome animal quickens her
speed, and around the track she goes
as though running away. She keeps
close to the inner rail. seemingly
through instinct, though she never
leaves the track, whether It be inclos
ed or not. Every mile is paced with
out break and as evenly as though
she were steadied by skillful driver.
The novelty of the performance and
the dashing beauty of the intelligent
animal win admiration wherever she
appears, and the finish is always at
tended with enthusiastic cheering.
A notable feature of this unique
performance is that the last quarter is
always the fastest, and no demonstra-
tion from the grand stand ever makes
her lose her stride or even slow up.
After passing the wire Marion seems
to know that her task is completed,
and her bright eyes search the track
for the groom, who stands ready with
cooling blankets a short distance up
the stretch. When blanketed she is
returned to the starter for recognition,
and views the applauding grand stand
crowds with an air of conscious pride
and evident satisfaction at their ap-
probation.

MEETING OF TEACHERS.
Superintendent Bogart Throws Out Nu
merous Suggestions to Teachers.

superintendent Bogart Throws Out Nu-
merous Suggestions to Teachers.
A teachers business meeting was held in
the High school room at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Superintendent Bogart presided
and made several suggestions to the teachers.
He said Calisthenics should be substituted for
the marches in the schools Hereafter BIZ
monthly instead of monthly reports will
be sent to parents. Meetings of the
different grades will be held next
Thursday, at 4:30 p. M, to arrange
for work closing the October month
In reference to professional work, the Super
ntendent told the teachers to ask themselves
what they are reading and doing in the line
of progress professionally-wh have they
| gathered that they can bring before the insti-
tute TO show progress He called attention to
the fact that there are too many cases Of
tardness on the part of the teachers and the
rule requiring.that such tardiness be reported
to the Superintendent is being violated. He
also said that in doing class work many
pupils who need assistance are not reached
and this means a necessity for more indi-
vidual work for those who are naturally slow
and for whom especially the schools are in
tended. And in this connection it was also
stated that large classes arc too cumbersome
to handle etIectually. The same number Of
pupils can be handled in the same time by
having the class divided and not oblige so
many pupils TO stand on the floor more or
less idle. 1t was thought best, also, that each
grammar grade consist Of two years
work General ideas were advanced
on how to conduct classes and class work and
the Superintendent stated that in the conduct
of recitations and test questions the class
tests should be really tests, so that the
teachers may know by results to what extent
they have succeeded or failed in developing
the ideas and principles contained in the
| lessons.

The Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, while not active and doing
little new business at the September circular
prices, is moving fair volume of tonnage
at the old quotations, ON orders booked
previously to the last advance. The markets
continue to absorb nearly all of the newly
mined coal, and there is reported scarcity OF
egg and stove sizes of the most desirable
brands, but the small steam sizes are dull and
accumulating these will find ready market
later in the season. The collieries through,
out all of the anthracite fields continue
working on short time and only three or foul
days per week. The Reading Coal and Iron
Company is reported to have ordered some Of
its collieries TO run nine hours per day instead
Of eight hours TO keep pace with the increas
ing demand for its Goals. The local retail
trade is quiet and the buying is only from
"hand-to-mouth," A number of institution.
which have delayed ordering their winter
supplies Of fuel are now receiving bids.
