WOMEN ON THE RACE TRACK.
Thirty-fve Fair Americans Will Be
Relresented on Turf Next Year.

4 Horss racing has become favorite
sport among the women OF the united
States of late years. Not only are the
grand stands throughout the country
thronxad with fair faces. but quite a
number of the sex have had their own
horses entered in trials of speed and have
staked their money freely on the results.
The coming season promises to show a
considerable increase in the number of
those who will have entries in the i'm
/ portant events. No less than thirty-hve
women have already made entries in the
several stakes or announced their inten-
ton of doing so.
Leading the list are Mrs. Henry Payne
Whitney and Mrs. H. B. Duryea. who
have made several entries in the name of
Mr.. Roslyn." Mrs julius Fieischmann
appears on the score cards as Mr.. Avon

have made entries under their real names.

stories of the aud lang syne which re-
freshed the history of those early days,
when the scene of this reunion, the old
Pine Gro re school house, was the hunt
ing ground of the Red man. This historic
ground Is the site of one of the first Gov
eminent indian agencies established IN
Alabama and abounds In tragic incidents
of sthose tumultous times when our fore
fathers were daily graphing with a saw
age foe. 1t is the scene of fierce battle
with the Creek Indians In 1896, when the
father Of Hon. w. L. johnson was killed
and near there on the same date when
the first wife of the late and lamented
General Mike, ]. Bulger lost her life by
being thrown from a vehicle. Much in
teresting data as TO our early history
fell from the lips Of these pioneers and
will leave its impress upon the younger
generations there assembled:
Perhaps the most notable feature ~of
this reunion was the speech OF Hon
Richard s. Nolen, the Oldest member OF
this interesting family, the nearest liv-
ing branch to the family trunk. His re-
marks were concise and dwelt mainly
with ancestral history. pointing moral
as to the duty of the present and coming
generations in holding these reunions to

forefathers while working out a destiny

any era of his useful career. He has
been honored often by his fellow citi-

to regret. He has served in both branches
of the General Assembly of Alabama,
has been chosen as leader in other pub
lie capacities, and stands today as the
Republican nominee for Congress from
this district, a laurel unsought by him:

to train and handle the morse and try to
make MIN a winner.
Alsono cost the tyros $4,000, and so con-
fident were they in their new possession
that they bet literally on him when he
went to the post in lis first race under
their colors. They had ample revenge on
thei~ critical husbands. for Alsono was
victorious IL his initial race and the
two owners won enough money on him
to paw back to tn amSSlVeS the SlO,OOO ne

When Roman heroes pledged the oatn

And beauty-loving Greeks invoked
Diana from her grove,
Or sued Athene's gracious might
On supplicating knee.
Ere vet from naughty Ihon
They wrested victory,
Then Honor was but homage vain'
A burning incense sweet.
That owned a gods or victor's power
A tribute at his feet.
Now Honor claims an altar pure
Within the human breast,
And worship that enshrines her name'
The clearest and the best.
No trumpet-blast or pageant grand
Proclalms her royal sway;
Who feels her silent promptmgs hasteS
Her mandate to obey.
Nor splendid rite of pomp ana prloe
Her votaries enthran.
For Honor Is as Honor does
To any and to all. -,
And who doth guard her altar well.
With alteration pure,
With alteration pure,
Whom stranger gods may not enslave.
Nor worldly maxims lure
Of conquest more than Roman knew
Shall hold unendfng lease,
And soar above Olympus tar.
To loftier heights Of peace!
And who upon his Honor swears
Shall to his honor live.
For to the faithless, recreant soul
She hath no boon to give; r

The faithful souls success,
Since Honors sons in dark defeat
Are glorious, none the less
