HEDRICK RACES.
Big Crowd and Fast Time at the
Opening Day.

There was good sized crowd al
the opening day of the Hedrick
Race Meeting at Hedrick yesterday
The excursion trains poured the big
gest crowds into town that had ever
been there on the opening day of the
meeting.
The program was good one and
all who were at the track were sat
isfied with the days sport.
The time made in the several races
was surprise to the crowds. The
1927 class trot was run by Contralto
In three straight heats. Mabel On
ward second in 1874, l2H and 10.
There were nine starters in the 2:40
pace and it took five heats to win the
money which was done in straight
heats by Plumline. Best time was
2:10H. Garnetta won second money.
Nine starters came out for the
initial heat of the 2:1S pace. 1t was
fast company and 2:1O fat and two
heats in 2:11 we're recorded. There
were four heats in the race and Oak
Grove won first money with Lou
Vaughn in second place.
1t 10 said that the track will be
changed next season to a mile regu-
lation and that there will be numer-
GUS improvements in the property.

FAST DRIVING.
A Dangerous Custom Being Too Freely
INDUCED I'm.

There is altogether to much fast
driving being done on the pavements
of the city in the evenings, and some
means should be taken to put stop
to the practice. ..
A serious accident was narrowly
averted on High Avenue West last
evening an account of a couple of
fellows who were speeding colt and
not paying attention to where they
were driving. The fellows started
west from the Iowa Central tracks
at the speed of a race horse and
urged the colt to the top of its speed.
A mother pushing baby carriage
and walking rather leisurely attempt
ed to cross the avenue at / street.
The horse was upon her before she
could retreat and it seemed that the
animal must surely strike the baby
cab. The mother screamed and jump
ed back and the speedy colt was
pulled over by its driver just far
enough to miss the little carriage.
The wheels of the buggy missed the
cab by less than an inch.
This reckless driving is INDUCED in
mostly by people who reside out of
town and Market street East High
avenue and sometimes First avenue
are the places that suffer most from
the racers. 1t is difficult for the
police to handle the matter for unless
an officer is on the ground at the in
slant of the offense it is next TO i'm
possible to make arrests. The Of
tenders are generally unknown to
the witnesses of the misdemeanor
and they are ont of reach so soon
that they cannot be found when
wanted.

races. The Gauge has a couple of
extra trains for the purpose of &C
commodating the public and the Cen
trail ask their patronage with a

of the business gets away and things
will be pretty lively during the meet

in her farewell letter to her mother:
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the
bar
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound and foam;
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep,
Turns again home.

1.-THE soul that is about to embark,
dear mother, sends you her tenderest
love as she puts out to sea, hoping
that she will have seen the Glory of
His Countenance' when you read
this" There is a pathetic story in
connection with the death of Miss
Rice that has been made known to
the relatives since the arrival of let
tiers from persons who had known the
lady in the west. The deceased had
never written word to her relatives
here concerning her trouble, as she
did not wish to cause them worry.
They did not even know the cause of
her death until the arrival of letters
that had been prepared by Miss Rice
to be sent in case of her death. Her
trouble grew until there was no al
tentative. Death must result from
the ailment within a short time, or
else she must submit to the surgeons
I knife and have a bare possibility of
life, with all chances against her. She
was informed of her condition by the
surgeon in charge and was told if she
/ had affairs in the world it were better
| that all arrangements for the worst
be made, as the outcome of the Oper-
alton that was necessary was not at
all certain. Miss Rice wrote letters
for loved ones at home, telling of her
trouble. These she gave to a close
/ friend with the request that they be
mailed only in case Of her death.
Other matters were attended to in a
careful and methodical manner and
the lady was ready for the operation
and the chance of life that science
might give her. The ordeal was
passed and Miss Rice lived for a few
days and it seemed that it would not
be the duty of the friend to send the
letters as requested. But the end
came. The letters had to be sent to
the friends and relatives at home, and
with the arrival of these letters came
the first understanding of the cause
of the lady's death.
CARD OF THANKS.
Mr.. and Mrs. George s. Prime wish
to express their gratitude and thank
fulness to the many friends and neigh
bors for their sympathy and help dur
