Fairmonters Happy Over Prospects

City Lands the New Odd Fellows
Home.
FAIRMoNT, w. Va, Aug. 27.-The
announcement made yesterday OF the
plans OF the Wabash railroad for
reaching this coal region was read
with much interest by those concern
ed 10 the advancement of this city as
well as the Monongahela valley.
Patiently and long have Fairmont-
ers waited for a road on the west side
OF the river, section even greater In
coal and timber wealth than the east
side, which is reached by tie Balti-
more & Ohio. Hopes were once high
by the actions Of the Pennsylvania
Company before the Baltimore & Ohio
became q part of that great system
Then survey through this section
was made and the matter carried so
far that grading 10 several places near
hear was commenced and the work
continued until the deal with the
Baltimore & Ohio was consulnated.
Besides giving better and cheaper
freight rates, a road in opposition to
the present one and entering Pittsburg
would give the people OF this valley a
better passenger service TO that city,
a service that has been asked for time
after time but never granted.
Just how the Wabash will get from
Riyesville on the Monongahela to
point south OF the city is not now
known, but it is supp Jsed that it will
take the route now being held by the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and go
through town by the Water street
route in the First ward.

RHYTHMIC IS A WONDER
Fastest New Trotter Of the Year Has
Won $1s,65o for His
Owner.

rhythmic has reduced his record to 2:08
in the best race he ever trotted, and it
is evident that he has recovered from the
slight reversal Of form he experienced
two three weeks ago. The blind stall
lion has been veritable gold mine for
his managers this season. His winnings
already amount to $1S,65O, and he has
engagements in four other big meetings.
That he will win close to $685. before
he goes into winter quarters seems rea-
sonable to assume. Since his last per-
Torrance the son of Oakland Baron heads
the list of new trotters, and he has also
to his credit the fastest record of the year
for a trotting stallion. No other trot-
ting stallion ever took record as fast
as 2:OS during his first year on the turf,
and judging from the blind stallion's
race at New York last week, he may chip
quite a bit off that mark yet, before the
season ends.

$5, 900.
Competition for the cup is open to all

iamateurs who are members of the or
ganizations composing the League of Am
ateur Driving, clubs. ANY club may start
