zone frequently hears the question

Evening Star. las to whether the modern
thoroughbred is capable Of being trained
to run four-mile heats as did the horses of

put to me my answer has been in the
affirmative, with certain qualifications
Not all thoroughbreds can go the route. of

as every racegoer knows. This Is demon
strated at every race meeting in which tine

only run four furlongs: others six; others
still eight furlongs, and some a mile and
half 1 believe there are horses in train
ing at Benning right now which, If given
the right kind of preparation. could run
four-mile heats in record breaking time. 1t
Is a. serious question. however, whether or
not in the course of time the limiting Of
horses to short distances will not affect
their powers of endurance very materially.
Former Well-Known Turfmen.
"Our fathers prided themselves upon the
endurance of their horses: time was sec
ondary consideration. and betting among
owners was proof that each man who
wagered believed that he had the best horse
and was willing to show the faith that
was in him by putting up large sums Of
money. I have the most profound respect
for men of the olden time. and their horses,

horses I was more or less acquainted.

were others which shed glory and honor on

Md. Her breeder was Col. John Tayloe,
whom early WaShingtonianS will remember

horse of his day, as well as the greatest

BLACK Maria won upward of thirty races,
the majority of them four-mile heats, and
was never beaten but once, in her eleventh
year, and then by her sire Eclipse, over the
Long Island Union course. This grand mare
was true to her name, as she was a glossy

any distance. Her stride was remarkably
strong and steady. and in her brushes she
covered twenty-four feet at stroke.

the Interviews between Sir Arthur Law

NORMAL is AFRAID.
Wouldn't Come to Topeka to Play
Return Game.


An offer Of a $3.50 guarantee was made
to the State Normal football team Fri
day by Frank Leach. manager OF the
Washburn team, for a game of football
to be played here next Saturday, and
the Normal refused 1t looks very much
like a '-streak of yellow in the Normal
team to turn down such proposition,
as that team had no other game sched-
uled for next Saturday. Two weeks
played an to 0 game with the Normal.
Since then Washburn has improved So
rapidly that there is little doubt that
another game would be a decisive vic
tory for the home team.
Instead of having the Normal, Man
ager Leach has about closed a contract
for game with Midland college of
Atehison Midland is somewhat of an
unknown quantity this year, but it is
believed to have a fairly strong team.
1t is thought that it will give Wash
burn just about the kind OF rub it
needs for the K u. game on October 81.
Washburn will also play st. Marys and
Campbell university out of town next
week.
The Thanksgiving game with Ottawa
will not be played by Washington this
year, because ottawa has no football
team. There was a big debt against the
team last fall, and the faculty ruled
that there should be no more football
until the debt was squared up. Ottawa
failed to follow Washburn's example in
this respect, and consequently there is
no team there this year.
Washburn is negotiating with Doane
Park college of Des Moines, Ia, to fill
the date.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Whether it is Alabama" Missouri
or Arizona" there is always a charm
about the plays of Augustus Thomas
which is only initiated by the other
playwrights. Most people consider Ar
iona the best of the lot, and there was
a large audience at the Crawford last
night to witness the production of this
drama.
So long has Arizona" been before the
public that the general nature of the
plot is well known. Col. Bonham, Of
the Eleventh regular cavalry is married
to the elder daughter. Estrella, of Hen
ry Candy, a millionaire ranch owner.
Estrefla is induced to plan an elope-
ment with Capt Hodgman, but is foiied
by Lieutenant Denton who is in love
with Bonita, Canby's younger daughter.
Having entered Mrs. Bonham's apart
ments to Illustrate this elopement, Den
ton is discovered by Col. Bonham, who
returns unexpectedly. Rather than COM
promise Mrs. Bonham by telling the
truth he permits the colonel to suspect
him of having stolen Mrs. Bonham' s
jewelry, and resigns from the army in
disgrace The villain Hodgman has an
encounter with Denton in which there
is "gun play and Hodgman falls
mortally wounded. Denton is found
with pistol in hand, and is arrested. 1t
develops later that the fatal shot was
fired by Tony Mostsno, a picturesque
vaquero who hated Hodgman for caus-
ing the ruin of girl with whom Tony
was in love. There is a dramatic court
martial scene, leading up to Tony's con-
fession, followed by Tony's escape on
horseback, and the partial reconcilia-

1T WILL NOT DO.
Interurban Railway Franchise Must
Be Made Over

The city council will not be given an
opportunity to take action on the pro-
posed interurban railway franchise at
the meeting Monday night. The streets

Friday night, found the ordinance to
be in such need of reconstruction, that
il was merely read over, discussed
slightly, and then postponed until the
next meeting of the committee on Fri
day. October. 3d.
As has been explained in the state
Journal, the ordinance is full of holes,
ard is so careiessly drawn that it
protects the city in but few of the
necessary particulars. 1t will have to
be entirely revised before the streets
and walks will even consider 1t SER
The proposed ordinance giving bl-
cyclists the right to use the sidewalks
under certain conditions was given
hard Jolt by the committee, the five
members present all voting to recon-
mend that the ordinance be not passed.
