an automobile came alongside OF them.
The driver of the white horse. had an
idea that his ''best friend" could get
over the ground Just little bit faster
than the automobile could. and so stated
TO his three friends.
The white horse apparently heard, and
understood the conversation, for ne be-
gan to pick up his feet trifie faster. but
the automobile had little the best OF
the race The driver OF the white horse
simply said to his companions: Walt!
Wei beat that machine yet" but none
OF the party had any hopes of such re-
suits, nor did they believe that the driver
had. but just before reaching Pocasset
avenue Pop" went the automobile.
and the driver of the white horse passed
by the disabled machine with a grin on
his face, that somewhat resembled the
rising sun. When he knew there was
TO more danger from the automobile, he
turned to his friends. and remarked:
What did tell YOU"
"Erve" called 1t a race. but he was
the only one of the party that did.
SET TO. NOT DROWNING.
Word reached the square just after
noon yesterday that a boy had been
drowned near the Merino Flats. and then
there was grand rush for the scene,
but when the majority OF the small
army reached there the trick had been
turned. and instead OF being drowning
accident II was set TO between
Scotchman and an Englishman. the Eng
lishman being a young man and the
Scotchman just trine too aged TO In
duige In such an act. The latter would
have Jared badly had II not have been
for a young man named McGlory. who
came to his rescue. and then the fight
was between two young men.
Just how II came out no one sensed TO
know. but McGlorys name was called
with much earnestness by those who
came up over the hill from the battle
field.
II must have been draw.
wEAvERs REMAIN FIRM.
A story Is going the rounds that Mr..
Corcocan, manager OF one of the mills
of the American Woolen company, was
among the bosses who were at the dock
OF the New York boat yesterday TO greet
a lot OF imported help that got no nearer
20 this city than New York. He told the
strikers who were also at the boat for
fear that the cheap help might get by.
that II they would go back TO work, that
