W. Il. Gates Was the Only Hors" TO
Run Il Bad Race in the
Last Week.
WINNING OWNERS AND RIDERS.

ONeill the Most Successful
nf the .0ckeyS-Ncws
and Gossip.

Even Mr. Bowers. most captious OF crit
Cs. would have had trouble finding fault
with the racing at Delmar during the past
week. Il was exceptionally clever and
clean. Oalv one bad race. that Of W. y.
Gates on Saturday. could be noticed
1t is true THAI Mr. Z. VI. Arthur's horses.
noticeably The Phoenician. do not always
run races OF the same sort. They are. how
ever. bad horses at J-Sj. and sometimes are
their very worst. On Saturday morning
The Republic called attention tn the easy
races The PhOenicau had Teen running.
Ills extraordinary speed on Saturday after
noon more than justified The Republics
criticism Of his previous efforts.
Captain Rice. who owns W. Il. Gates. has
always beer deemed a gentleman b-ycni
reproach. Two II the last three races iun
Icy W. y. Gates have been very bad ones.
Between them h.. ran an extremely bril-
liant one. His trSt bad race Was preceded
by still another bright one on the strength
Of his coed races both OF which were won
at long prices n his bad ones, bettors
have every confidence in Captain Rice in
Jegrity, and his horses are always heavily
played when the bettOTs know that they
are good. Hence. Gates was played 10 the
limit both times.
Bsttiste. the negro rider who handled the
horse in all mis- races. seems to be guilty
OF q bad ride in each pad race. In the bad
race in the mud, when Gates was beaten
by EdGardo. and his had race Saturday, II
did not seem that Battiste tried. very ear
neStly with him.
That the boy can ride when under pres
SIRE was shown by his ride on The BOer
in the last race OF Saturday. Judge Brady
had given him rare wiggInE for mis- bad
ride on Gates. Battiste EOt up on The BOer
and made him show thirty pounds improve
ment over what he had previously shown
under A. Weber. II took one second a better
race than they expected they would have
TO run and all Lyne'S skill TO land the
heavily played Ciaes winner.
The riding OF Battiste, Fauntleroy, Wat
son and Earl. all negroes. should be closely
watched. There is an unsavory ring Of ne
gro trackmen and stable hangers around
Delmar. and the motions OF It's members
VIII bear watching at all times. Bonner IS
negro rider who seems TO be clear OF the
clique.

ALL PROSPEROUS.
Ohio Building and Loan Com.
panies Have Had an Unusu-
ally Good Year.
(From a STAFF Correspondent }

Columbus, March 1.-THE annual
report of the state inspector of build
ing and loan associations shows the
year 1901 to have been the most pros
porous with the institutions in the
history of the state.
There is $25.34 invested in these in
stitutions for every resident of the
state. The number of associations re-
porting was 757, as compared with 76S
for the preceding year. The total as
sets for these companies for 1901
amounted to $105, 1874, 10000, a de-
crease of 1927 ,S04.83.
This falling off is due to the re-
organization of several associations as
trust companies and to the ousting OF
two large concerns by the supreme
court. All things considered, the year
was by far the best thus far.

Ter, of Damascus, who has seen 13
years of service in China as a mis-
sionary for the Friends, will return
to China in a short time. After Miss
Butler left home years ago, she spent
five years in China, near Peking, in
the interest of the cause she is COM
pletely devoted to. Then she return
ed to this country for visit. A Sec
ond time she went to China and re-
mained eight years, returning home
just after the holidays last year. 1t
is her intention to again return to the
land of the joss house and opium to
labor on in hope of throwing ray of

WIRELESS TALKING
ON THE GREAT LAKES
D. & c. Line Stea mcrs Will be
Equipped--First Experiment
Made This Week.

Cleveland, March 1.-THE arrival of
the sidewheel steamer City of Detroit,
of the Detroit and Cleveland line,
some time this week from Detroit, If
the condition of the ice in the vicin-
ity of Point Pelee permits, will be of
great interest to the scientific world
as well as to all who are interested
in the latest in the way of practical
demonstration of the system of wire
less telegraphy.
The City of Detroit has been given
full equipment of instruments for the
sending and receiving Of these mes
sages, and the managers of the line,
as well as Inventor Thomas +. Clark,
of Detroit, are confident that their un-
sense Of the word. Some few tests
have been made with the instruments
invented by Mr.. Clark, he having COM
municated between Toledo and Detroit
and between Detroit and Wyandotte,
Mich, while the ice breaking steamer
Promise, of the Detroit, Belle Isle &
Windsor Ferry company. was making
n trip through twenty miles of eight
teen-inch ice for the hull of new
steamer which had been launched and
was ready to be taken to Detroit to
receive her upper works.
The test to be given from the City of
Detroit will decide whether or not
all the steamers of the d. & c line
will be given a full set of the wireless
telegraphy inctruments. Steamers on
the ocean have found that they can
communicate by means Of Marconi's
instruments, and seventy of these in
struments are now permanently in
stalled Vessels have communicated
through thick weather for distance
of between thirty and forty miles with
satisfactory results. General Manager
Mcmillan, of the d. & c. line, with its
! five big sidewheelers, and of the De-
troit and Buffalo line, with its two
new steamers. the Eastern States and
Western States, has concluded that for
the best interests of this vast amount
of property and as safeguard against
accidents, and to enable aid to be sent
at the earliest possible moment should
an accident occur, something should
be done to make it possible for the
vessels to communicate not only with
each other hut with their home ports
