Trot of Circuit Races.

Martha Chokes and Dies During 2;lS
Trot of Circuit Races.
New York, Sept. 13.-The attendance
was large on the fourth day OF the
grand circuit meeting at the Empire
City tracks. The main attractions were
the free-for-all pace and mile against
time by The Abbott. In the free-for-
all pace Anaconda sold for 500, Prince
Alert sos, and $40 for Indiana. The fin
ish in the first heat was in doubt to
the wire where Prince Albert won by a
nose from Anaconda. In the second
heat Prince Albert broke badly, Ana
conda winning by three lengths, He
won the next heat and the race in
hair raising finish in 2:O4Aa.
The first event of the day was the
2:1S trot for which ten lined up for the
start and the race was such an open
one that every horse in it had friends
Lady Nervett was the favorite at
to /, but the bay mare Martha stepped
to the post in lively fashion and won
the first heat by a length. In the sec
pnd heat she led to the three-quarter
snfole. when she broke, choked and fell
dead, Maid Thorne winning the heat
Lady Nervette, the favorite, won the
next three heats by a narrow margin.
The 213 pace had six starters and
Fred w sold at $50, Tom Calhoun $35.
Prince A. $25, TUNA 500, and the field,
500 The black horse Deveras won the
first heat by a length, but in the next
two Tom Calhoun won by neck in the
fiercest kind of drive and took the
fourth with a little to spare.
The big event of the day was the mile
against time by the crack gelding The
abbott to beat his record of 2:04&. He
went very slow to the quarter in :32a,
and then went like lightning to the half
in 1:021a. He shot by the three-quarter
pole in 1929 and came home in 2:04.
This gives him the champion gelding
record, but still leaves him behind the
worlds champion record held by Dix,
2:O3%.
The wagon race for amateurs had
three competitors, but Hontas Crooke
took the lead at the start and won by
three lengths in the fast time of 2:10.

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN.
Sermon Preached by the Pastor, DR..
Robinson,

The Thanksgiving services yesterday
in the Second Presbyterian church We're
held in the morning at the usual hour
and We're very largely attended. The
pulpit was decorated with large white
chlysanthemums and banked with
palms.
The regular church chorus. which
renders vocal music on all special oc-
casons, gave several selections in a
beautiful manner under the leadership
of Prof. j. NJ. Chance. The Guartette
consisting OF Messrs. Gippel and Nor
gan and the Misses Black and Cara
gan, also gave two selections.
The Thanksgiving sermon was
preached by the pastor, who took as
his topic 'The Patriots Dream taking
as his text the tenth and fourteenth
verses from the twenty-eighth chapter
of Deuteronomy. The verses he dwelt
especially upon We're the twelfth and
fourteenth, which read as follows:
THE Lord shall open unto thee His
good treasure, the heaven to give the
rain unto thy land in his season, and
10 bless all the work of thine hand:
and thou shalt lend unto many nations,
and thou shalt not borrow.
and the Lord shall make thee the
head and not the tail; and thou shalt
he above only, and thou shalt not be
beneath: il that thou harken unto the
commandments of the Lord thy God,
which command thee this day, to OBJ
serve and to do them"

| AS regards living expenses both the
| lawyer and minister have an advant-
| age over their professional brother.
| In New York, for example, office ac-
comn1odatiOn suitable to a physician
is very dear. in a good neghborhood
costing not less than $40 or $50 a month,
which, with board and lodging and
other necessary disbursements. will
represent a sum of Sl20 monthly, a
sufficiently weighty burden to bear.
| The young minister has no rent to
pay, while the legal neophyte can regu-
late his outlay in this respect according
to the length of his purse.
Nevertheless the lot of the medical
beginner. compared With that of u
pastor in Il like situation, has its COM
pensationS. He is at least more on
less independent. The minister on the
contrary, is as rule permitted to eXer-
else his own will but to a limited de-
gree, and often is doomed to go through
lifetime of toll, subservient to the
caprices of censoriOus elders and dea-
cons. An excellent description of the
trials of an American country minister
and the various unplea santnesses with
which he has to contend at the hands
ut his congregation, Is given in the
"Damnation of Theron Ware" the best
novel written by the late Harold Fred
eric.
When all is said that can be said
the first few years OF medical practice
are years of arduous c:~Jrt, full of dis
illusionment and disappointment. The
late Sir Andrew Clarke told DR.. Osler:
Prom the vantage ground of more
.,f In,
say that / have striven ten years for
board, ten years for bread and butter
and twenty years for cake and ale."
The truth undoubtedly is, and espec-
ially in the large centres of population
in America, that the opportunities for
physician to obtain adequate conf
pensation for his services are yearly
becoming less.
rms is not uue To any deleriora ton
in the quality of the present day prac-
ttioner or an evidence of falling off
in medical or surgical skill The fact
is irretutable that the medical profess
sion i'm this and in all civilized coun-
tres stands on Il higher plane in the
matter of training and knowledge than
ever before. The reason for the de-
crease in medical incomes is indu-
bitably almost wholly owing to the
more eager competition among regular
practitioners, to hospital and dispens-
ary abuse and to the lamentable in
crease in quackery. The supply of
medical men is greater than the de-
mand: the market is flooded, and the
most potent remedy we can suggest
for this evil is that, as has many times
been advised in the Medical Record, u
uniform high standard of medical edu-
cation should be established in every
state.

whose needs Rev. DR.. Mcleod made an
eloquent plea.
Rev. Dr.. Thomas Mcleod. of Brook

PROFESSIONAL EARNINGS.
Comparative Advantage of the Law,
Medicine and the Clergy.

Medicine and the Clergy.
From the Medical Record.
The law is probably the most profit
able of the so-called learned profess
Sions. There are more and larger
prizes to be gained by an acute and
eloquent disciple of the legal art than
are open to the medical man or the
minister. In this country and Great
Britain the incomes of the foremost
advocates and of attorneys in lucrative
practice for the most part overshadow
the yearly earnings of the best known
physicians and surgeons. and to a still
greater extent those Of our spiritual
advisers. Occasionally one hears of
very large fortunes being left by prom
inenr doctors-Sir William Gull. Sir
Andrew Clarke, DR.. Pepper and Sir
William Jenner are cases in point
but these are exceptions. and sums
accumulated by medical men cannot
be compared either in number or
magnitude to the colossal amounts
amassed by members of the legal fra
ternity. When, however the average
incomes of these three classes of the
community are considered their re-
latiVe position in Great Britain and
the United States will be found to
differ. Viewed thus, in the United
Kingdom the clergyman is at the top
of the list, the lawyer second and
the doctor last; while here the lawyer
or doctor gets IL larger share OF the
"loaves and fishes" and the minister
has to be content with the crumbs.
The average income of a physician
in large cities on this continent may
be placed at $1,000 In the smaller
towns at $l,500, and in the rural dis
tricts at $i,200. Two on three New
York physicians are said to make over
100000 year, five or six about $50, 900,
bur the average income, although
rather higher than in Chicago and in
other American large cities, does not
greatly exceed $4,000 yearly. The min
lister averages in the city perhaps ST.
900, and in the country certainly not
more than $500 yearly.

The climatic conditions yesterday
were not the conditions which should
prevail on an ideal Thanksgiving day,
that is to say there was no snow and
the mercury was not way down in The
tube. Nevertheless, the day was OBJ
served with something of the usia,
spirit. Nearly all of the shops, mines,
etc. were closed for the day.
There were the general union church
services in all parts of the city in the
morning and services of some sort Ia
all the churches not uniting with 9TH
crs. There were crowds upon The
streets all day. but they were orderly
crowds and the saloons were not very
generously patroniAd.
The theaters were crowded to over
flowing both afternoon and evening,
and those who could not gain entrance
found plenty to occupy their attention
in the many entertainments and So
cials conducted in all parts of the
city.
Yesterday afternoon in the lower
temple of the Penn Avenue Baptist
church the young people of the con-
gregation were rendered a most de-
lightful reception by the pastor, Rev.
Robert +. Y. Pierce, D. D., assisted
by his wife and number of the Sum-
day school teachers.
The room was tastefully decorated
with bunting and American and Gu
ban flags. The young people We're
all there from the tiny primary tots
to the young men and women. The
exercises We're opened with prayer by
DR.. Pierce. Then the children formed
in a single line and passed in line be-
fore DR.. Pierce and his wife. shaking
hands with each as they went by.
Various games, many of them being
of a very original nature. were en-
joyed by all. One Of these In par
ticular was especially novel. Sixty
we'll known advertisements were
clipped from the magazines, the trade
name of the articles advertised be-
ing erased. Those present We're then
furnished with pads and the idea was
to guess as many of TIE titles Of the
advertisements as possible.
Phonograph selections were given ana
tions and songs was rendered by var
iOus members of the Sunday school.
At the close of the festivities D..
Pierce opened q barrel of ruddy I'd
apples, which We're distributed among
the children.
