At the State Fair Ground in Train
ing Already.

Sedgwick county, and especially Wich-
tia, has of late years become noted as
the home of finely bred and speedy horses
At no time during the year are the sta
bles of the state fair grounds without a
large string Of horses under the trainers
care. Just at present there are about
fifty horses stabbed on the grounds and it
is pretty sight these nice mornings TO
60 down and see them worked out
The largest and best string in the state
is the racing part of Cash Henderson's
stable Of horses. He has about a dozen
in training and a number of them are
showing up in fine style Cash, Jr." one
of his 2-yedr-oIds, worked out a half in
los and mile in 2:22, and Anita is doing
halves in 1:12. Milkmaid, so far this sea-
son, has developed the greatest speed, go
ing a half the other day in 1912. C. w.
Holdridge has charge of the Henderson
stable and is bringing them out rapidly.
George Van Werden has two speedy
youngsters in George V. and Toslow, I'M
der the hands of w. G. Lapham, who says
that nobody knows just how fast they
can go-but himself. and he won't tell.
Ella Goddard, owned by D. S Smithlish,

Among the others on the ground are
DR.. Hazards GoIdie Hazard, Frantz

BILE is Topsy 5. who last year lowered
the worlds 4-year-old mare record to
2:09A. Topsy is in finer shape than ever
this spring and will be a winner.
Alice A is one Of his promising 2-year-
olds, going halves in 1;O91k. Another good
mare IS Mamie 3 owned by Steadman

REV. SLUTZ LECTURE
Was Greatly Enjoyed By Select
Audience.

Auuience.
The lecture given at the First NJ. Z.
church on Friday evening by Dr. w. B..
Slutz for the benefit of the First Baptist
church building fund, was on the subject
"A Horseback Ride Through Palestine"
The lecture was instructive and was well
received by the audience which was good
considering the many attractions and en-
tertainments given at other places the
same evening.
DR.. Slutz described the country and
places along the route followed by his
company under a competent guide. He
told of the dangers from robbers which
beset all travellers in that country, which
IS under the rule of the unspeakable Turk.
He had also some interesting curios that
he obtained while there, and articles of
wearing apparel which were exhibited at
the close Of the lecture.
Shaw's orchestra rendered two fine Sc
lections OF music before the lecture be-
gan. which were much appreciated by
all present
Altogether It was Il success and will net
the church a handsome sum. The Bap-
fist people are grateful to the Methodist
folks and their pastor for the kindness
shown IN giving this lecture and open
ing their own house for its delivery while
the Baptist house is being reftted and
prepared for occupancy.

that the crop Of wheat and oats this year
can hardly be comprehended, that the con-

The members of the ROYAL academy
are supposed to paint better than any

their names printed in larger type than
their fellows, and to have thsir pictures

cratic privilege which no one here re-
septs, although it raises a smile now

that some of the work offered by aca-
demicians does not rise to the level sua-
