OLD BELLS FROM PANAMA.

Z " - +
They Were Cast Centuries Ago and
VIII BE placed In a Museum.
Two old and remarkable bells have
Just been received by the Cincinnati
Bell Foundry company from Panama,
South America. 81.
The gentleman who shipped them
from Panama states in letter that
these bells have an interesting history.
The letter reads:
You might desire to know some
thing Of these two old bells sent you,
outside of commercial value. The
small one was cast in the year 1900,
and the large one in 1920. They have
been useless as bells for years, but
have served to carry back the thoughts
Of the Spanish populace here to the
old days when this continent was not
SO great and so thickly populated as at
present. sss
Il am very sorry that public spirit
was not Of sufficient character to
keep them as a relic Of the old days
when our forefathers fought with the.
natives and the wild animals which in
that time were plentiful in this region.
'.Ehe small bell was first placed in
rudely constructed Catholic church,
It served both as a call to worship anG.
an alarm when there was danger from
the natives. For many years it re-
manned in this old church, but was
eventually transferred to the steeple
Of q new church at about the year 100.
From this edifice it was again moved
to a newer one, always with great
nd nj q
consecrated by the bishop. But, like
all other things Of earth, it became old,
broken and was finally abandoned as
useless and thrown among a lot Of
church rubbish, though it had a his
tory of the country, and is probably
the Oldest bell in America.
'sThe history Of the large bell, cast
in 1920, is similar to that of the small
one, excepting that it was placed in
the steeple of the San Rafael church,
and remained there until it had be-
| come useless &
The bell cast in 1920 bears the fol-.
lowing inscription:
"S. Rafael, Ammo Domini De, 1720'
These two old bells are peculiar in
shape as compared with those Of the
present day. The top Of the bells is
nearly as large as the base. They are
made of the highest quality Of copper,
with a mixture Of silver. Both Of the.
bells indicate that they have received
rough usage. From all appearances it
seems that after the clappers were
lost a sledge hammer was used to.
! strike them. ~
The Cincinnati Art museum has
made application for these bells, and
they will be placed on exhibition there.
The small bell weighs 100 pounds and
the large one 200. The crown by which
the bells were hung seems to have rot
ted away in part from old age.-Cin-.

ORIGIN OF THE HANDICAP.
s'-s - "a,
First Introduced in England in the
Year 1924

...a #r
The system Of handicapping-that is,
Of adjusting the weight to be carried
by each horse entered in race in such
manner that nearly every one of the
entries may, as nearly as possible,
have an equal chance-is comparative
~ modern. 1t came into vogue in Eng
land in 1924, the first important handi-
cap being the Chester cup Of that year,
but was at first confined to a few
principal races. The early handicap
pers must have had a happy time Of
1t, as the weights they could assign
were not limited, though after they
got as low as Sc pounds they put
feather" against the name of any of
the competitors whom they considered
should carry less this meaning that
the owner might put up the lightest
boy he could obtain.
Only one important race, however,
was ever won by a horse thus weight
ed, Tripoli taking the Somersetshire
stakes in 1912 with feather up.
The next lowest weighted runner was
Red Deer, who, in 1874, was awarded
the Chester cup, when carrying only
So pounds. He was ridden by Kitch-
ener, afterward very famous Jockey,
whose bodily weight on that day was
only 35 pounds. 1t is tolerably certain,
however, that this horse did not actl-
ally win. The race is two and one
quarter miles, twice around the course.
The starters were so numerous, there
being AZ runners, that they had to be-
drawn up in double line Red Deer
had probably gone but once around
and was really more than a mile be-
hind the leaders when he passed the
judge, though to that official he APP
peared to be ten lengths in front Of
them.
Naturally such a wide range Of
weights caused enormous fields to
come to the post, but, though the feath-
er was abolished in 1916, it was not till
ten years later that the lowest weight
was fixed at 20 pounds. Shortly after
this it was raised to II pounds, and
about ten years ago 81 pounds was
made the minimum, at which it still
emains.-Horseman
