Who have any self-respect want to
be as bright as new dollars every
morning. You are not, because you
do not sleep we'll. You are not
beaming with health and strength
because your nerves are weak. You
are puny when you ought to be
strong. Air, food and vitality were
given you. Then each helped to
make life pleasant. What is the
truth now? Sometimes you eat
sparingly. Sometimes you can
scarcely touch the best the land al
fords. AS for the vitality which
makes men equal to doing big

THE RUNNERS.
Spirited Racing and Good Attend

marked Improvement over that of any
other day of the present meeting, and
things went off with a snap that was
quite refreshing. The weather was cool

have been better for the racers, but it
was agreeable to the visitors, and horse
kicks against the weather do not count.
Six running races took up the after
noon, and some were so closely con-
tested as to arouse the enthusiasm of
the crowd. The favorites We're more

were very few waits at the post and
