So after that Dulcie S simply ran away
from them all. getting big leads from the
start, and then Bruen would pull her down
almost to a walk the last 100 yards, thus
killing time, and still coming in winner by
lengths. In the second heat the little mare
reached the distance pole in 2:10 and could
have easily made the wire in 2:15. but II
was 2:21A when she got there. She is a
wonderful little horse, with the smoothest
gait imaginable, and she never hickers.
The first race. the amateur trot, from
which so much had been expected. proved
rather unsatisfactory, because only two
entries appeared, Almont, jr.. owned by
W. H. Dudley Of Council Bluffs, and Polly
Fox. by w. A. Paxton. jr. The latter horse
was unsteady all the time and Almont won
easily in two half-mile heats.
The Roman stadium race took place true
to the program and, although the time OF
the winning team was only 0:31 at the quar-
ter and 1902 at the nnish. the AFFAIR proved
interesting. One Of the swaying riders
slipped from his perch to his on horses

New York, Nov. 21.-PulDit reflections
on the styles of brilliant hosiery are so
badly appreciated by the young women
of the Old RushWick Reformed church
of Brooklyn that the membership of the
church has dropped materially and the
pastor has resigned. The Rev. James c,
Hume, PHI. D., is the pastor of the

he made that he had resigned was more

Colorado City Gamblers Must
Serve Their Sentence.

Denver, Nov. 21.-The voice of decency
prevailed when Gov. Orman denied the pc
tition of the Colorado City gamblers for
a pardon. The five men who were con-
victed of keeping gambling houses will
therefore languish in Jail until the expira-
ton of their thirty days sentence. These
men are VIII. Hames, David H. Rees.
James J. Lacey. J. W. Blackwood and
Henry Cooley.
The action of Governor Orman closes
one Of the hardest fights ever made to
free men of the penalties of their crimes
and marks a real victory for the moral
element.
Governor Orman did not take long TO
decide, nor did he spend much time in
giving reasons.
THE men were guilty" he said, land
their sentence was not a heavy one. They
were confessedly guilty. and I have al
ways been in favor of decency and moral
ity in city government. and thought the
voice of good government should prevail
IN this instance
From the time that the five men were
convicted and sentenced by Judge L. w.
Cunningham at Colorado City their
friends (some of vhom were very inf1uen-
