In accepting the presidency Buckle
said he would have felt embarrassed
at the bouquets of eulogy thrown at
him were it not that he had been train
ing with Alexander Robertson the past
two years in the council, and that he
had known Dick Whittemore since boy

in all seriousness that the Republican
majority accepted the responsibility inn
posed upon it and he would do his part
to make a successful administration.

some are brick shape. They are laid
like bricks in special mortar, the cor.

stones. These smaller patterns are
necessary because 1t is impossible to
trim the stone. An operating room at

The announcement that Zimmerman,
Major Taylor. Harry Nlkes. Tom Coop
e.. Earl Kiser. and Arthur Ross Will
certainly visit France this season has
created much interest and some con-
Germ in racing circles in that emo
donal country. The first two named
were least expected. but they may de-
pend upon having a royal reception.
1t Is believed by promoters and track
owners that they will be the star at
fractions and they will not only draw
many new Corners to the meets but
many Of Zimmy's old admirers will
be again aroused to unwonted enthusi-
asm. Taylor is most feared among the
racing men, who believe that thinner
man has been out of the game too
long to be formidable. Elkes is consid-
ed dangerous competitor in the mid
die distance class, and II he keep in
good form is expected to .eat the
Europeans up" as one French racing
man puts it. A French daily paper,
commenting on Zimmerman's chances
OF winning, says: IF the sport con-
tinues as 1t was last season he will be
obliged to appear on the track; not for
sensational matches as in 1894, but to
enter open races in which he will have
to learn how to avoid combinations
among the racing men for dividing the
purses and bribing certain ones to per-
mit the victory to go to one selected in
He will have to offer large
sums to those against whom he will
hide so that they will not prevent him
These deplorable evils have
crept into the racing on French tracks
since Zimmerman made his astound-
ing performances and have discredited
many European riders.'' All of which
