RACES AND RAIN.
The Best Days Sport Spoiled BY
Rain-Crowds Went
Home.

A splendid holiday crowd was In
attendance at the Fair grounds
races yesterday, but were not per-
mitted to enjoy the sport very
long. Just as the third event was
about to be called, the rain clouds
which had been lowering near all
afternoon broke, and the crowd
was forced to find shelter from
the rain wherever 1t could. A
heavy dOwDpour lasted for about
fifteen minutes. 1t quit for a
while and the judges were about to
resume the racing and were calling
the horses to the post when the
rain began afresh and the crowd
began going home, for all hope Of
further racing was gone Tor the
day. Public conveyances, private
carriages and every means of get
ding to town we're made use of.
The first heat Of the 2:l7 troi
was won after q fight with Wano,
by Mystic Dawn. In the first
heat OF the free tor all pace the
talent had picked Stranger o. tC
carry their money and he was vel
played, but on account OF a foul
which the Judges allowed, he wa'
| given 4ih place and Deck, the
second horse given the heat; tint
1:13.
1t is to be regretted that th'
weather has so interfered with th'
| fine program which the managerl
| of the Fair association had pro
vided. for without doubt it woulG
have been the most successful af
| fair OF the kind ever held in tn
Southwest. Their horses we're tn
/ best on the circuit, the purse
liberal and the arrangements per
feet.
The races which were unhnish
ed and running raoes will be ru
lthis afternoon according to sched
ule. the track having dried ou
euiliciently to permit Of good wor
being done. Racing will begi
promptly 81 ? o'clock.

deeper, the mountain sides more
rugged and picturesque and we
soon found it beautiful beyond the
the widest dreams of our nature
loving souls. 1t was truly the
famous old Rockies in all their
majestic grandeur. The cancns
were deep and narrow, then wider,
then narrow again with their tall
green sides on one hand and their
rugged barren cliffs on the other
rearing their heads hundreds of
feet above us. For q long distance
we saw range after range and
peak after peak of tall mountains
with not q vestige Of any living
thing upon them.
Only immense elevations on
every hand, covered top and sides
with huge boulders OF every size
and shape, reminding one again of
the tremendous up heaval of ma
ture which was the origin of it
oil. TITLED one with sort OF re-
verence and we as we looked
upon it. 1t was so suggestive of
the mighty power of creation
whose force and strength ls so
limItless that we, with finite minds,
are scarcely able TO grasp the first
syllable OF its meaning.
Sometimes the very desOlation
Of the scene was the beauty. IL is
actually sort Of restful feeling to
know that not every mite ofG'jd's
blessed sunshine, and every foot OF
the universe can be converted into
power for turning out dollars
and cents, and that in some places
in this world a.. least, the poorest
serf might own as much and enjoy
as much as the richest noble Of
earth could do. It reminded us
OF Lowel's descriptions Of ''Day

Joined the Missing Fleet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-The day
of reckoning has come for the specula-
tors who risked money on the overdue
American ship Helen Brewer, the YES
sci having been posted yesterday at
Lloyds as missing. Much was said
some weeks ago about her long pas
sage from Sourab aya, on the northern
coast of Java, for Delaware Break
water, and her failure to arrive. She
carried cargo of sugar. After being
posted as an overdue, the ship became
a favorite with optimistic spectators
in this city and at Honolulu, where the
Brewer was particularly we'll known,
and they placed S175,000 on her chances.
Another $4,000 was put up by men
who chose to wager that the vessel
would not reach her destination, and
they have won. But the great ma
jority of Spectators have met an
other Waterloo.
The Helen Brewer was classed as a
fine American ship, and she was COM
manded by Captain Mahany, who has
been in the employ of the Boston own
ers for forty-five years. No master
mariner had better reputation for
ability and trustworthiness. Accom-
panying the captain on the trip We're
his wife and daughter. The fate OF
the ship and those on board may never
be known. The only possible theory
to advance for her loss is. the fact that
few days prior to her departure from
Java the ship was aground in the mud
But she was apparently uninjured, and
after a survey the vessel proceeded.

Bring Much Sugar.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-Two sugar
laden vessels arrived in port today from
the Hawaiian Islands. They were the
steamer Nevadan and the bark Martha
Davis The Nevadan came from Homo
lulu in seven days and eighteen hours,
and her hold was filled with thousands
of sacks of sugar, while on deck she
carried more than 1000 punches of ba-
nanas. The Martha Davis was twenty
three days from Hilo. Her cargo in

liberty which hundreds of thousands
of brave men died to give.
The "Star Spangled Banner" so
dear to every American heart, is older
than the present flags of Great Britain,
France, Germany, Portugal, Italy,
Japan. as we'll as of the South Ameri
can States. This national flag sprang
into being upon the passage, June ID,
l777, by the Continental Congress CT
resolution that "the flag Of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white, and
that the Union be thirteen stars,
white in blue field, representing a
new constellation.
Tradition says that General Wash
ington, who had been appointed a
member of committee to consider
the subject of general standard for
the troops, took to Mrs. John Ross.
in Philadelphia, rough sketch of the
proposed design from which she made
banner which Congress approved.
The adoption of this flag speedily end
ed the confusion over the subject of a
national flag The ensign maze by
Mrs. Ross was at once hoisted in
Philadelphia, and the design was
copied everywhere. At that time the
thirteen stars were arranged in the
form of circle to symbolic the per-
petuity of the Union. In 1894, after
Vermont and Kentucky were admitted
to the Union, an act was passed which
provided that the number of stars be
increased to fifteen. In 1918 it was
ordered that on the admission of each
new State one star should be added to
the Union, the addition to be made
on the 4th day Of July succeeding such
admission. This is the present pre-
scribed national emblem of the United
States of America and a splendid gal
axy of forty-five stars represents the
great union of sovereign States.
A display of the national flag is a
natural expression of patriotism.
Floated from the dome of the national
Capitol it signifies that Congress is in
session, and it has the same signif-
canoe when flying from State Capitols.
Early in the civil war the Stars and
Stripes were suspended from the top
Of Bunker Hill monument and re-
manned there until the close of the
struggle, thus flying for a longer con-
secutive period than any other flag Oh
record. Today, so extensive are the
territories and dependencies of the
United States that it may truly be
said the sun never sets upon the Star
Spangled Banner.

A TRUE SCHOLAR.

The scholar in the true sense is the
man or woman for whom the schools
have done their best. The scholar
knows some one thing thoroughly,
and can carry his knowledge into ac-
ton. With this he must have such
knowledge of related subjects and of
human life as will throw this special
knowledge into proper perspective.
Anything less than this is not scholar
ship. The man with knowledge and
no perspective is a crank, disturber
of the peace, who needs guardian to
make his knowledge useful The man
who has common sense, but no special
training, may be fair citizen, but he
can exert little influence that makes
for progress. There may be wisdom
not of books, but it can be won by no
easy process. To gain wisdom or skill,
in school or out, is education. To do
anything well requires special know
ledge, and this is scholarship whether
attained in the university or in the
school life 1t is the man who knows
that has the right to speak. David

HOW IT WORKS,

Slow but sure seems to characterize
exactly some of our ardent high IL
cense advocates, who are beginning
slowly but surely to see the fallacy of
some of their strong high license ar
guments. Among them and one which
we OFT heard repeated, was the great
influx of summer guests which would
take place upon the Inauguration of
license. We have high license now, but
Vermont as popular summer resort
is yet thing to be hoped for in
the future. 1t was also strongly con-
tended during the recent campaign
that arrests for intoxication would de-
crease rather than increase and that
was the weakest argument of all. One
has but to refer to police records to
prove the utter foolishness of this
statement. 1t cannot be claimed just
ly that the law in this particular di-
rection is better enforced today than
under prohibition, thus explaining
the larger number of arrests, and no
more intoxication than under former
conditions, for the simple reason That
the law was enforced as we'll then as
now and in only one or two places in
Vermont does a city charter make any
different provisions with regard to
patrolmen's arrests and fees, than for
merly. Suppose canvass were made
of all the patrolmen in our State and
their vote taken upon the license ques
ton, the result would certainly be in
teresting and we do not hesitate to
say. would still further weaken the
above argument of more rigid en-
forcement now than formerly. Couple
this with no pecuniary gain to the
officer, desire not to unpopularize
the license idea, and a sure danger of
becoming odious in the eyes of certain
citizens, can perfectly rigid enforce
ment of the laws be possible?

DETECTING CRIMINALS.

ducing the detection of crime to sci
