THE NAME OF cREscEUs.
How The Great Stallion Came to
Get II.

wv tbs
Where did George H. Ketcham get
the name of Cresceus, is a question
that has been asked many times. Mr..
Ketcham, the owner and driver OF the
great stallion, is a good reader, in
fact he is the possessor of one of the
finest Libraries in Ohio, his native
state. About the time the now great
son OF Robert McGregor began to
show promise Mr.. Ketcham was
spending his reading hours in reading
the history OF ancient Rome. At the
suggestion of Tim Murnan, the trainer
of Cresceus. that the colt needed a
name. Mr.. Ketcham thought Cresceus
would be appropriate inasmuch as in
the days of Nero, there was chario-
ter named Cresceus, who was invinc-
ible as a relnsman. He was, so to
speak. the Geers of drivers in the days
OF racing when Nero relgned.
Apropos of the coming Cresceus to
attempt to lower his own and the
worlds trotting record OF 2:O214, is
the following regarding Mr.. Ketcham:
When yet a very young man Mr..
Ketcham was in delicate health, and
knowing ones limited at consumption.
An outdoor life seemed the proper
thing, and natural love of horses
attracted him TO driving as the open
air exercise that pleased him most.
The game began to be interesting
with the acquisition of Robert Nc
Gregor. the famous father OF Cresceus.
1t was then that the men about
Toledo. who cared for brush, used
to drive up occasionally near George
on the winters speedway. They
usually got what they were looking
for
With the years came the ambition to
own a great trotting horse, and as
Cresceus early showed all the points
for making record, Mr.. Ketcham,
who had bred and trained him now
allowed himself word of praise for
his stallion. At first even his best
friends laughed little when George
quietly remarked that he had the fast.
est horse on earth. but their cynical
grins turned to smiles of admiration
when the sorrel began to smash the
records "a a S-yearold. Since that
time he has justified all that his
owner and his caretaker, Tim Thurman
have promised for him. and today he
holds more worlds records than any
horse, living or dead.

WHY THE M. p. NEVER DANCE.

IL was wellknown fact in official
circles that the NJ. p. was Unfortunately

TO REVISE CUBAN TARIFF.
To Abolish Export Duties and Rear
range Tobacco Taxes.

Washington, March 2-The Cuban dele
cation on economic affairs has issued a
statement summing its work as follows:
"Our requests practically have been
granted for the appointment of Cuban
American Commission to revise the Gu
ban tariffs and the adjustment of the ex-
port duties, which it is understood the
American administration considers a
heavy burden on the agriculturalists of
Cuba, and unjust.
1.-The tobacco planters, whose interests
have so severely suffered during the
wars, are now paying taxes which are
contrary to the economic principles of the
United States and in consequence thereof
this burden has greatly discouraged the
Cubans.
with respect to an arrangement con-
cerning a modus vivendi with Cuba, the
American administration is in accord
with the wishes of the Cuban sugar and
tobacco planters, but as the matter must
be first thoroughly considered by Con-
gress, nothing can be done at present,
on account of lack of time"
