TO SLEEP.
FORCE OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Public sentiment Is a powerful
thing, no matter whether II is aifirma-
tive or negative in its direction. in
this neighborhood the Wayfarer knows
of no more tangible evidence of the ir-
resistible power of this great force in
human affairs than is to be seen at
Iron Hill and its neighborhood where
the nest of Outlawed racetracks once
flourished The people of Cecil county
grew tired of the crimes which were
being committed there in the name of
sport They discovered that the pres
ence of the tracks was demoralizing
the community, even while giving an
unnatural and unstable stimulus to
trade. The good citizens of the county
began arousing public sentiment.
They knew that tracks, associations
and politicians could not stand up
against it, and their faith in this great
element Of strength was well founded.
TO q man who saw the tmclzs when
they were in the prime OF their opera
ton; when the railroad companies
were making big money carrying
lambs to be shorn; when the associa-
tions, stables and book-makers were
hand in hand to fleece the patronizing
public; the present aspect is one Of
desolation. The grand stands and other
bHIldings have been torn down and
the lumber is piled in confusion in
nearby fields; the tracks are over
grown with weeds; the stables are
things of the past; kcnces are down or
ready to fall; the clubhouse. which
was built on Delaware soil in the vain
hope that it could be used in open de-
fianco OF the license laws of this state
and TO nullify the local option law OF
Cecil county. has been removed TO
Maryland soil. and converted into q
dwelling house; even the land has gono
back to its original owners or to those
persons purchasing the farms to which
il formerly belonged. Associations are
gone, horses are gone: book-makers
are gOne iocllies are gone; touts are
gone credulous and gullible crowds
are gone At=Iron Hill station the
Wayfarer notices the book makers

A Western cyclone could not have
made q more complete wreck OF the
property and hopes Of a combination
OF men than did that wave OF public
sentiment which swept quietly over
Cecil county and put an end to the
workings of men who had hoped to set
IL at defiance.
