ABOUT HORStSAED HORSEMEN
Newsy Notes and Comment for
Those who Are Interested in
PAGERS md TrOttcrs.

The old rivals, Mascot and Hal Pointer
met at Geneva, y. Y, last week, in the
free all, and Mascot won the race. one
heat being paced in 2:15A. After finishing
last in the first heat Hal Pointer was
drawn.
The directors of the Kansas City Driving
Park association have purchased tract Of
land containing thirty-seven and one-half
acres, situated between Tracy and Woodland
avenues and Forty-ffth and Forty seventh
streets. The work of improvement and
building has been inaugurated, and a grand
opening will be given August l.
The Columbus (O.) Grand Circuit meeting
program carries a cool SAC. 900 every cent
of which will be paid over to the horsemen
as soon as won. For the added class purses
The Columbus association sticks TO the old
plan Of races, three in five, but the purses
are $4,000 right through There are nine
of these newly announced $4,000 purses,
four for trotters and five for PAGERS, with
$4,000 reserved for specials. Not single
purse offered at this meeting is for a less
amount than $4,000, and as the Columbus
track is one of the finest ever made, the
meeting there this year will doubtless be
one of the best OF the Grand Circuit series.
The Kentucky Futurity to be decided this
season has siXty-nine entries, while the
! Pennsylvania has twenty.
| The stables of the Keystone Stock farm

| Davenport and Independence, Ia, and
Joliet, H., failed to secure entries for their
early closing stakes, which shows that there
| is scarcity of light harness horses, or else
| that the owners have decided to race their
| horses On eastern tracks. In view OF this
| condition it is evident that easy money
| awaits these owners who are going to race
| on tracks in the west.

The success OF the Omaha High school
team In its recent game at Tarkio shows
that there was no excuse for the High school
not having team in the field all year.
With two frst-class pitchers and several
good hitters they could have been fairly
successful against all the neighboring teams
and probably have made good record for
themselves instead OF letting base ball take
a backward leap as was done.

them to their destination. This 2200

FARMERS ENEMIES.
Worms Sweeping the Fields
of Forage.

The Peniel correspondent of the
Times writes that the army worm
has made it's appearance in tha: To-
cality. A reporter for the Times
knowing that the army worm was one
of the most dreadful pests that could
attack the farm, made inquiry and
from a farmer of long experience
gathers that the worm complained OF
is not the army worm, but one that
is next to it in point cf ability to
devastate the country. The worm
complained of, this farmer says is the
grass worn, it eats grass first, and
if nos satisfied then will feed on peas
and corn to some extent, enough
often to completely ruin them. The
army worm attacks everything that
grows aud makes clean sweep on
the earth.
The grass worm is said to be
lighter in color that the army worm
besides differing from it in several
other ways. 1t has says. our infor-
maut, black stripe running down
it's back. The army worm is black
all over. It has never been in this
section of country The grass worm
comes about every eight OF ten
years. It does it's damage in one
seaon and disappears for long
period.
Our Penial correspondent writes
that W. q Purvis, j. N. Purvis, and
P. N. Gee have had acres of corn and
peas destroyed, and that others in
the neighborhood have suffered.
Some of the farmers tried to kill off
the pest witt Paris green, but were
not satisfied with the result. Some
of them have used pow dered black
pepper with very satisfactory resulte.
Our correspondent says that one can
stand at the edge of the field AID
hear the worms eating with a slight
cracking noise.
There has been complaint Of the
ravagss of this pest in other sections
of the county also The farmers are
are very much concerned about their
forage crops.-Florence Times.
