to learn that their is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment.

acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby

ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors

Low handle bars have been dealt a
death blow in Washington, D. G. In
revising the police regulations regarding
bicycles, the District Commissioners
have made rule that all cyclists shall
ride with their beads up. A dispatch
states that public sentiment and the
action of riders themselves previous to
the issue of the order had paved the way
for the Commissioners action, for an
inspection of over 200 bicycles stacked in
the basement Of the Treasury Department
disclosed only six remnants of the rams
horn handle bar era. The rest had the
handles even with or above the line of
the saddle.

But for the stiff head wind OF the
home strstch, Ed Geers thinks Joe
Patchen would have beaten the worlds
pacing race record at Columbus.
William Disston's Pixley. 208s. and
Colonel A. Loudon Snowden's b. L.. G.,

track on Thursday in 2.1S.
A peculiar incident occurred at the
North Penn races at Belmont course last
Thursday. Horses numbered / on the
program in three classes finished in fifth
position six times. Horse No. Z won
four heats in the same races.
Star Pointer again proved too fast for
Joe Patchen over the Chicago track last
Saturday. THE first heat, which was
paced in 300, practically decided the
race. 1t was the fastest first beat ever
paced. beating Star Pointers 2 OF made
at MYSTIC Park last September. This
was the fourth meeting between these
fast PAGERS this season, and the Pointer
horse has won three times. In their first
great encounter at this famous track
Star Pointer had the pole and won in
straight heats. At Cleveland, under the
same circumstances, he was again the
winner, but at Columbus, when Joe
Patchen had the pole, he not only won in
straight heats, but reduced his record to
2.015, thus equaling John 4. Gsntry's
cham pion race record made at Glen
Falls last year.
