A Pretty Running Dash.

1n0 u6luS were uOG large yesterday
afternoon but the racing was first
class, especially in the 2:22 class pace
and the FIVE eighths of a mile run
ming dash. The 3 minute trot was
taken in straight heats by Theo. Aliens
Midnight, a green horse that never
turned round for the word before.
He went a nice, easy race, was steady
as a clock and showed every evidence
of careful handling by a mechanic
that knows his business. Billie Car
ter's Blue Bell Star is to be compli-
mented on the showing she made.
She was simply not fleet of foot
enough to head Midnight, but she
went a beautiful race. Belle Wilkes is
a fine, big-gaited, high acting mare
and attracted much attention. There
were places in the mi:e that she
showed speed. She has been in the
hands of Brown & Dewitt only a short
time and this was her first race. Eos.

A CoRKING HOT RACE.
The 1922 pace had only three start
ers but it proved to be a horse race
every heat. The contest was between
Jack Johnson and Palmyra Boy.
Jack is the ugliest horse at the score
ever seen upon a race track, but when
his various attendants did get him
squared the right way of the track he
went from the wire like lightning and
| did his work,.well, only he couldn't hold
the terrific clip he went away with.
1t is supposed that Damn is the only
man who a drive him. The sur
prise of the day was the way Pal
myra Boy paced the race. The first
heat he was fighting the banner, but
in the next he showed the stuff that
was in him, and thereafter was a
prime favorite.
In the second heat it was a contest
between Palmyra Boy and Our Dick,
but the next heat Jack came back to
second place. After a hard battle he
took the fourth heat and made a
mighty effort for the fifth, but made a
break on the home stretch and Pal
myra Boy won the heat and race,

Gliding heat with a broken sulky

From the st. Charles Banner.
Many of our readers were at the
Court House Wednesday evening to
hear Mr.. Bassford, the Republican ora
tor, expound the principles of that
party, but few knew who he was or
where he came from. 1t is for public
information that we print the follow
ing paragraph from the church dlrec-
tory of the city of Wellsville, Mo-:
NJ. E. Church: Rev. o. 8. Bassford
pastor. Services every End and 4th
Sunday morning and evening. Sum
day School at $3.50 O'Clock. David
Thomas superintendent. Epworth
League at $3.50 p. m. Sabbath evening.
1t will be 9 that this gentleman
has no appointment for Wednesday
evening, but we think it is a custom
among the churches OF that denomi-
nation to have prayer meeting on
Wednesday evening, il it is true we
suppose he appointed some member
of his flock to pray for the congrega-
ton while he came to st. Charles and
talked politics and accused the advo-
Gates of silver of being dishonest and
trying to beat their creditors out of
half of their honest debts. We ARE
not who he is, or where he halls from,
we think a minister is out of his place
in politics.
