The Trotting championship.

Owners and everybody interested in
trotting are wondering where this
years championship will fall. There
are no events in which The Abbot can
show his speed. as none of the other
trotters would have show for better
than second money apparently. Driver
Ed #. Geers is authority for the state
ment that Dare Devil is a faster trot-
ter than The Abbot, and while few
agree with him his assertion is causing
some comment. Dare Devil will be
among the blue ribbon starters, as he
is still eligible in the 2:10 class. The
Hamlins have always wanted to enjoy
the all aged trotting championship, and
perhaps between The Abbot and Dare
Devil they will be able to do so.

ing kn goods. His father was an
oarsman before him and is still mem-
Der of the Wyanoke Boat club. The
boy began to row two years ago and
soon became the pride Of the river. He
insisted on rowing the big shells of the
club, so his father recently bought him
one of his own. The shell is 21 feet in
length and weighs about 10 pounds
The narrowness of this frail craft can
be Judged by the fact that it has only
an eight inch center. The sculls used
by the proud owner are only foot
shorter than the regulation size for
adult scullers. Jimmy and his racing
she'll together do not weigh more than
70 pounds.
The boy is a bright pupil, and every
day after his studies are over he has
tens to the river to take a spin in his
shell. He is always ready and eager to
give any of the older oarsmen a brush,
and the speed that he gets out of his
racing machine is remarkable to be-
hold. He recently got caught among a
lot of tugs and tows. He kept his head,
however. and although he ''lost his
oars" once or twice he withstood the
wash and finally pulled out all right.
He was not half so badly frightened as
the captains of the tugboats.

This was the statement with which
Paul Goepel, first viee-president OF THE
German-American Mckinley and
Roosevelt League, opened campaign
headquarters at Union Square Monday.
The League was organized by Arthur
Won Briesen, close friend of Governor
Roosevelt, who selected him to COM
bat Democratic aggressiyeness i'm this
field of the canvass.
Mr. Goepal explained THAI. it was
Carl schurz's hostile attitude toward
President Mckinley that made the
leagues labor SO hard. ''Mr. Schurz
is a great and commanding figure in
this country" said he. Many Germans
hesitate to follow other leadership Tt
is that hesitancy that we must over

overcome THE disaffection that they
have perceived among the Germans.
The German vote has been so per

of sentiment is needed TO make that

What makes Plaw's performance the
