has remained the invincible and recog-

Only once were his colors in danger Of
being lowered. DR.. r. e. Frost behind
the whirlwind pacing mare Refina,
pushed the Major to the limit one day
on the avenue; some say she defeated
the king. There was an argument, but
before conclusions could be tried Refna

Mr.. Pierce to handily trim all aspirants
for the honors that accrue to the cock

ideal snow horse and a model on the
road. He will figure conspieuously on
the speedway. In the illustration here
with Arthur Wilkes is shown in his
winter form as a reminder of his role
Of champion trotter of Worcester, to
sleigh.
The other reproduction of photo
graph taken expressly for The Spy
shows one of Worcester's inobbiest road
rigs. The turnout is the road outfit Of
Charles E. Forehand. Mr.. Forehand is
a thorough sportsman, and his PAGER
Tom is conspicuously a good type of the
proper gentleman's roadster. Tom
boasts no whirlwind of speed, but for a
20 mile trip on the road he needs take
the dust of none of the best that travel.
The turnout as a whole Is thoroughly
appointed with all that makes for com
fort and the hitch is a conspicuous fig
ure on the road.
These are but a few Worcester's road
horses. They are too numerous for
enumeration. For a dozen years local
enthusiasts have never seen the quality
of Woreester's road horses except on the
snow. The winner on the dirt when the
fun is on is already being picked. Mean
while horsemen are awaiting the open
ing Of the speedway.

who enjoy little quiet brush with an
old rival have been forced further and
further away from the city until, for
half dozen years, there has been no
spot in Worcester or its vicinity where
speeding is not fraught with positive
danger.
All this is to end with the completion
of the Mill street roadway. Here will
be the happy hunting ground where
horsemen may cut bose into as merry
a clip as suits. The ever unfinished
battles of the snowpath will be con-
tinued throughout the summer
months. New stars will appear to dim
the light of some of the erstwhile
champions that excel in ability to
fling snowballs; for speed on the snow
and on the dirt cannot be measured by
the same standard.

mile of road which horsemen may call
their own. the argument has begun on
the relative merits of the pick of the
snow horses when at last Worcester s
crackerjack roadsters come together on
the dirt. 1t is predicted that the royal
ty Of the boulevard that has INDUCED
in the wearing OF crowns against al
corners will speedily be deposed and a
new nobility will arise to hold sway
over the speedway.
Worcester Is famous for the quahty
Of her road horses. The list is long
one They have never yet appeared on
parade except during the all-too-brlef
season Of sleighing on the avenue.
Then they are all out and at the sport
which annually becomes warm enough
TO melt snow only to come to an ap-
rupt ending when the slipping goes,
Horses are but conditioned for the
fun and shaken out into shape TO 90
when ali Is over. Then has come the
finishing Of heats and the trottng OF
red hot brushes in animated argument
around the stove. Through the long
summer the sport has Jagged. lmpa7

tiently horsemen have awaited the
coming Of the snow for a rejuvenation
Of the sport on the road only to hear
accounts Of the rare sport through the
summer on speedways the country
over.
But all this is to end July 1. That is
the date when Street Commissioner
Wright s. Prior will throw the Mill
street boulevard open to horsemen for
their own. The work is being pushed
rapidly and were it not for the lateness
of the spring the road would have been
in shape the first of June. Work on
the country roads and city streets is
fast being completed, and as quick as
men are available the force now at
work on Mill street is being increased.
The speedway is being worked to
width of 65 feet for the entire distance
Of mile except at the Park avenue
end where it narrows gradually to a
width of 40 feet. The plan calls for
roadway 1870 feet wide but for the
present the boulevard will be built one
half that width. The roadway, when
completed, will be one OF the best
drives in New England.
Skirting the edge Of Goes pond, the
speedway winds by graceful curves,
without an angle, through line OF
shady woods to June street. The sharp
angles found in the old street, that, by
the way, was always . favorite drive,
have been entirely done away with,
and the road has just the curve that
would delight the eye Of the artist and
please the fancy of the landscape eN-

Here will be the Mecca of horsemen.
Here viii the battles royal for SUI
| premacy among the roadsters be
| fought to the end. Here the lively
brushes Of the snow will be continued
until the sleighing returns. The fun
will be on in few weeks.
The name of Worcester's good road
horses is legion. In the list are doz-
en- with records under ZIG and twice as
many more are marked within the go
list. The Spy prints today likenesses
Of only few of the attractive road
turnouts that will grace the speedway.
Notable among them is the veteran

When the little horse has on his boots

him against all Corners without fear or
favor. For a number Of years the laur-
els for the square gated brigade have
rested in turn on the brows of r. G.
Taylor's Abbie ", John n. Watson's
FlOe Spencer and Arthur Wilkes. The
supremacy was a question of many a
prolonged argument in places where
horsemen congregate to talk it all over,
until one day last winter when going
was prime and the stars all out, Arthur
Wilkes was cut loose and headed the
best of the good ones for the entire
route. The little horse repeated the
trick, and when he went from the road
he carried off all the honors. He is an

years and was formerly known as the old
Chenery place. It is called the Northlands
annex, and is really a continuation OF tnat
valuable property, upon which a resi-

Ii is regarded I'm Washington as practi-

gued, and argued very fOrcibly. is a con-
fession of weakness. 1t means. we arc

things are not progressing satisfactorily,
either IN Cuba or the Philippines. IL means
that more troops are needed in our
far East possessions TO carry out Mr.

we cannot Withdraw regulars from there

But this is not the worst of IT, The

poorIe is trying TO make fool oil Major
Marehand. and as yet It is not quite clear
whether he is strong enough TO resist the
effort. Speeches he is credited with nav
ing made upon his arrival at Touion would
seem TO Indicate that he is not. But on
the other hand certain press interviews
said TO have been had with him encour-
age the hope that he is. His Ioulon
speeches. as reported. place him in the
nosition of being a rampant anti-Drey-

need but little urging TO accept the man
,le Of Roulanger. 1t would also appear
from the character Of his reception that
Il wouldn't have required much effort 10
organize a movement for rendering him
that mantle. Indeed, certain precautions
taken by the government point strongly
TO the conclusion that it was feared the
political and military adventures would
start such movement, and turn the
Majors head. IN the interviews in ques-
ton. however, he is represented as having
declared that he only asks TO be permit
ted TO continue his career as an army
officer and has no thought of playing the
role of the man on horseback.
That Marchand deserves honors at the
hands of the French people is not to be
gatnsaid. AS an explorer he ranks with
the most intrepid of modern times. Since
1890 he has been engaged in carrying the
French flag into territory that was pre-
viously comparatively or totally un-
known. and his last expedition led TO the
Anglo-French agreement, by which was
confirmed French possession of large
areas of the Dark Continent to which
France heretofore had, for the most
part, but a shadowy title. But to hal
him as the hero of Fashoda, who vindi-
Gated the armys honor, is absurd. The
main object OF the venture from which
he has just returned was to drive a
French wedge across Africa, and thus de-
feat the British design OF a British terri
toriai stretch from Cape TO Cairo. No
only did he fail In this, but the Fashoda

Narchand reached Fashoda, vet his gov
eminent not only did not back him, but
backed down. before a threat of war from
Great Britain. Therefore any demon
stration over Marchand, that carries will
it greater significance than recognition
Of his services as an explorer, practically
amounts TO Frances glorying in her own
humiliation. This, 1t is to he hoped, the
French people will realize, to the end
that even II Marehand is weak enough
10 be made a tool Of. they will not again
render themselves ridiculous by another
Boulanger fiasco. and thus dispel the hope
or permanent sway of reason and patri-
otism hereafter. which has been so vastly
stimulated by their present display OF
common sense and calmness in connection
with the Dreyfus case.
