GOOD THING WENT WRONG
Bardetta Was the Surprise Of the
Afternoon.
4 GOOD CARD FOR TODAY
Playing Glover Vcmtlig Was Supposed
to in like Putting Money IN
the Bank, But the Bank
Failed.
\ GOOD CARD FOR TODAY

The talent or wise babies, as they are
sometimes called, had tough road to
travel yesterday at Elkton. The first
thing to 20 wrong was Susie Houze,
who was heavily played to win the
opening event. She was never in the
hunt.
Next on the list was Wal Jim, one ol
the most uncertain horses that ever
faced starter. lie did finish third.
With these two hot ones going down
the players became a little weary, but
they didn't give up hopes yet, one more
attempt was made to get even. They
selected Glover Vendig to carry their
money and they all got down, hook, line
and sihker. But Bardetta came along
and helped the books by winning from
Llnseed, who beat the firing favorite
about two lengths for the place.
Next was Rossman, who was supposed
to be real Jam, and on form looked to
be legitimate fav0rite, but second was
the best he could do.
Baritone iii won the fifth race and at
the same time broke his maiden, while
Traitor, who forgot to sulk OH this oc-
casion, won the. sixth from Jewsharp.
Following are the summaries, entries
and selections for todav.

VOTED TO REBUILD.
Members of Worcester South AgricuI
tura Society viii Be Asked for
Contributions.

Sturbridge, Feb. 14-At the special
meeting Of the Worcester South Agri-
cultural Society, held last Saturday, it
was voted to build a hall building, in
which there shall be a dining hall. Mr.
George L. Clemans presented a plan
which seemed to please most of those
present. He proposed to build on the
old foundation, with IS feet post, and
have IA feet gallery entirely around
the building. A committee of one from
each of the original towns comprising
the society was chosen to meet with the
executive committee of the society next
Saturday. at 10 o'clock a. M, in the
town hall, to consider plans and esti-
mates. 1t will probably require $1,000
more than the Insurance of $500 to re-
place and furnish the building ready
for use. While there can be no regular
assessments made on the members, it
was the sense of the meeting, and it
WAS voted to instruct the treasurer to ask
the members to contribute 81 each or
more towards building, thereby prevent
ing an increase of the debt. There are
over 1900 members, and $1,000 from them
would not be missed by them and would
help the society much. The secretary
and treasurer will acknowledge any con-
tributions, and while his duties will be
much increased, he voluntarily offers to
reduce his salary SIS for the year The
meeting adjourned to March ), 10 a. m.
