Capt. John Pengilly, president of
the ST. Louis county poor board has
declined urgent requests that he
accept re-appointmento on the board.
He has served Lw0 years and his term
will expire soon. The annual meet
Ing OF The board occurs in Duluth on

feels that lie has done his share in
the county and now Intends to take ii

that no Sunday ball games will be
allowed in that city under no con-

Smiths Bessie" who was awarded
second place by the judges was
clearly entitled to first place and by
all odds should have had it. "Bessie''
took the first heat easily and in the
second was crowded off the track
which was strictly oDtrary to rules.

horses whose owners claimed to have
Mr., Smith outclassed. This is not
