held Thursday night, and the last Casino

season with a canter. The horse show this
year had third more entries than ever
before, and was in every way a much
larger display than any previous exhibit
The 81 classes totaled more than 500
entries, with 20 more private boxes added,
making so in all; society was never SO
largely represented. More than score of
the boxes for next years exhibit have al
ready been taken
The most novel entertainment this week
was the evening parade of the automobiles,
the first affair of the sort ever held on this
side of the ocean. Two years ago there
were only three automobiles in town. Now

Rose Owens white girl apparently about
seventeen years of age, was arraigned as
a vagrant in the Police Court today. The
testimony showed that Rose has been way
ward for some time past. Some months
since she was admitted to the Florence
Crittenton Home, but remained there only
short time. She was arrested shortly
afterward for a second offense Of the same
nature. She afterward went hsme, but
would not remain.
She admitted that she was disposed to
lead a dissipated life. Judge KimbaIl said

Lieutenant Oakman had let his tired
horse go free. and. leaping tho fence,
he ran swiftly toward the grove Of trees

raiders

proof Of his chivairy. but the captain 5
own words left no doubt that the an
parent dcsertion would in reality con.
tribute 10 the safety Of his gallant foe
and friend. But for that, Oakman
would have stood at his side 10 the last

There are crises in mems lives when
