An effort is being made by the Com
mercial club and the citizens of Beloit
to extend the city limits quarter of
mile in either direction, which if sue
cessful will give Beloit a population
close to $500. Many good reasons
have been suggested for extending the
limits of the city to take in this terri
tory, while not one has been given why
it wouldn't be for the best interests of
all who will come in the city limits if
the proposition carries. 1t begins to
look like Greater Beloit'' in the near
future, thanks to her pushing Com
mercial club.
One of the largest delegations of
notable women from any place repre-
senting women's clubs at the Smith
Center federation meeting was that
furnished by the several women's clubs
of Beloit. The delegation from here
was: Mrs. G. w. Port, Mrs. Charming
Perdue, Mrs. NJ. M. Rowley, Mrs. H.
Baer, Mrs. D. A. Freeman, Mrs. Yer
non Branch and Miss Clara Ewing.
They were delightfully."- entertained by
the pleasant Smith Center hostesses,
who are ever willing to share their por-
ton in everything pertaining to the
good of the town and womankind.

Whitney's Hard Luck.

New York, March 24.-As a result of
illness this winter three of William c.
Whitney's greatest thoroughbreds will
be unable to start in important stake
events for which they were entered long
ago. Nasturtium, the $4,000 Water
cress colt, will not be starter in the
English Derby, while the noted FLY,
Endurance by Right, and the 4-year-oId
colt. Elkhorn, have been declared out
of the Metropolitan handicap. Sidney
Paget. who has just returned from Eng
land. is authority for the statement that
Nasturtium is practically out of the
Derby. Mr.. Paget says that he saw
Nasturtium in Trainer John Higgins
stable at Newmarket, and that, in his
estimation, it will be impossible to get
the colt ready to start in Englands
blue ribbon event. Mr.. Paget also says
that the son of Watercress has gone
to pieces, that he has lost flesh, and
his muscles have shrunk perceptibly.
