HOrsemen OF Racine and Kenosha
May Unite and Build a Park
Between the Two Cities
MAY JOIN WISCONSIN CIRCUIT,
Horseinen of This City Seem to Favor the
Plan If 1t Can be Carried Out with
Reasonable Expense.

A movement has been started among
the horsemen in Racine and Kenosha
which is expected to result in the
building Of driving park between the
two cities and which will give the
sporting population of the two cities
lots of sport during the next few years.
For some time a number of the Wis
consin cities have had regular cir
cult of harness races and during the
last few months an effort has been
made to have the horsemen of Racine
build track and join the circuit. The
Racine horsemen are fearful that they
will not be able to swing the deal and
an effort is being made to have the
Kenosha lovers of racing join ia the
project.
For several weeks past the Kenosha
horsemen have been having p1atinees
at the Uh1ein track west of the city
and a large number of horses have
been entered for the different events.
The interest In these little meets has
grown to such an extent that horses
are being brought from long distances
to take part in the races. AT Antioch,
ILL.,, there is a goodly number Of horses
and their owners would be pleased to
unite with the Kenosha and Racine
men to have track built between the
two cities.
The cost of the adventure would be
in the neighborhood of twenty-five
thousand dollars and for this reason
there is considerable hesitancy among
the wealthy owners Of fine horses. 1t
is thought that after several years the
park could be made paying PROPOSE.
ton but it has been such long time
since races have been held in this sec.
ton of the state that it will take some
time to revive the sport. Other cities
in the circuit are Fond du Lac, Ocono-
mowoc, Waukesha, Milwaukee and La
| Crosse. In each of these cities the
clubs hold two meets annually and
good purses are offered and the fastest
horses in the state compete for prizes.
With the Uhlein farm near Kenosha
there would be no lack of horses to
make up the different classes and the
Kenosha- Racine track would be pop
ular one.
In the near future a meeting of the
horsemen of the two cities will be held
and at that time the plans for the park
will be fully discussed and if The
scheme is found feasible the park will
be put in condition for opening next
season. The Racine men have taken
the lead in the matter and it is said
that options have been taken on sew.

UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES.
Splendid Attraction to be Seen in Kenosha
on the Evening of August 8.

Splendid Attraction to be Seen in Kenosha
on the Evening of August 13.
The appearance of Lottie Blair Par
ker's delightful play, Under Southern
Skies" is an event that should be
looked forward to with interest by our
theatre goers.
The company is large one, NUM-
bering twenty-seven people. The
scenery is beautiful, everything used
in the representation, being carried by
the company. The costuming is
quaint and pretty, the gowns being
of airy summary stuffs, made In the
fashion Of 1875, which is the period of
the play. A Halloween celebration
during which pumpkin dance is
introduced, is one of the lively features
of the performance, and neYer fails
to delight an audience. Beautiful
southern melodies are introduced
throughout the play with great effect.
The story Of the play is both strong
and interesting, and is relieved with
much comedy which is contributed by
the darby servants and by their mas
tiers and mistresses, who are of the
southern aristocracy.
"Under Southern Skies is one of
the big successes of recent years and
no one who enjoys first class play,
presented in first class man1er,,
should fail to see ''Under Southern
Skies at the Rhode Opera House on
August 18th.

Governor LaFOIIette to Garry His
Political Views With Him to
Old Settlers Picnic.
FINDS OTHER TOPICS PRosAlC.
Governor Informs the Secretary of the
Club That He Deems 1t His Duty to
Talk of Legislative Questions

Governor Robert M. LaFo1lette will
talk politics at the Old Settlers picnic
which will be held at Paddock's Lake
on Thursday, August 20. This fact is
assured, as the Governor has written a
letter to Secretary Roberts in which he
informs the Secretary that the cond;-
ton on which he accepts the invita-
ton to the Clubs annual picnic is
that he be permitted to air his views
on Questions pertaining to legis1a-
ton"
There is no doubt but that the peo-
pie of the county will give the Cover
nor a great welcome, but there are
many who regret that the Old Settlers
picnic, which has for SO many years
been a delightful festival of ren1inis-
cence is to be turned into political
pow-wow.
Of course the Old Settlers picnic has
always been something of place for
the politicians to start the wire pulling
for fall campaigns, but in the off years
it has always been meeting of the
old settlers, and the speeches have
never been of a political nature.
The announcement that the Cover
nor is to expound his views on these
|"Questions pertaining to Legislation
affecting the interests of the people of
the State" will, of course. give the
picnic Statewide notoriety, but there
are many of the old settlers who would
prefer to have the Governor come out
to the county and meet the pioneers in
social way and tell them of some of
the early days in Wisconsin, rather
than the discussion of the fight be-
tween Stalwart and Half Breed or Re-
publican and Democrat. The people
of Kenosha county are newspaper
readers, and they are all pretty well
acquainted with the views of the Gov
ernor on all subjects.
The letter of the Governor, however,
leaves no course open to the members
of the committee arranging the picnic
unless they should see fit to withdraw
the Invitation issued to his excellency.
The letter follows:
Executive Chamber, Julyt15, 1908.
r. F. Roberts, Woodward, Wis,
Dear Sir:
Governor LaFollette instructs me tc
accept your invitation to deliver an
address to the Kenosha County Old
Settlers Picnic. The Governor IN.
derstands that the date of the picnic
will be August 10th and has made his
arrangements accordingly.
In accepting your invitation the
Governor wishes it to be clearly under
stood that he will discuss questions
pertaining to legislation affecting the
interest of the people of the state. In
SO far as he can give his time TO public
speaking, he feels, in view of the i'm
portance Of this subject, that he
should deal with it rather than with
general topics or with special subjects
in particular fields.
Will you kindly inform me if the
Governors understanding OF the date
of your picnic is correct?
Very respectfully,
JNo. ]. HANNAH,
Private Secretary.

Government Life Saving Station in ihe
Harbor to be Moved to a Site
Nearer Beach OF Lake.
PRESENT SITE IS INACCESSIBLE.
New Location Has Been Selected But VIII
Not be Made Public Until All Details
For Move are Made.

The Kenosha Life Saving Station
which for the past twenty-five years
has stood like sentinel on the east
side Of the channel of the Kenosha
harbor is to be moved. The new site
has been selected but it will not be
made public until all the details of the
change are completed. 1t is possible
that the removal will result in a new
station being erected in Kenosha.
Capt. Kimba1l, superintendent of
the Life Saving Service on the lakes
will leave Washington in few days
to come to Kenosha to take charge of
the matter and it is probable that the
move will be made before the opening
of another lake season.
The change in the location of the
Kenosha station has been made i'm
perative on acccout of the fact that the
station is inaccessible to the open lake
and for this reason some of the useful
ness of the crew to drowning sailors
has been cut off. Of course there has
always been lookout on the open lake
but it is long distance from the look
out to the station and this often delays
the work of the life savers getting out
into the lake after vessels which may
be IN trouble off this port. It is prob.
able that the station will be located on
the beach just north of the present
harbor piers but if such location has
been selected no statement to this
effect has been made to the captain or
members of the Kenosha crew.
The life saving station is one Of the
Oldest buildings in Kenosha and it has
been used for station for more than
quarter of a century. Before that
time It did service as private house
for nearly as long and it is high time
that the old station was relegated to
the back ground and new station
built. The station was repaired this
year and for this reason the memberr
of the crew gave up all hope of secur.
ing new station before another year
had passed.
No Harbcr Money For Kenosha.
Capt J. G. Warren who is in charge
of the harbor work in this district has
completed his annual report to Con.
gress in regard to the money needed
for Wisconsin harbors during the com.
ing year. The report shows that the
government is not contemplating the
expenditure of any money at Kenosha
next year and the harbor will have tc
remain in its present condition.
The usual small amount of few
thousand dollars will be appropriated
for the maintenance of the harbor but
nothing will be allowed for any new
work. Il is said that the lake bust
ness of Kenosha does not warrant any
expenditure on the harbor here at this
time

Washington. Feb. 25.-Mr. Bowen.
the Venezuelan plenipotentiary, has
proposed to the allied powers that the

allies have not yet signifed their ac-
eeptance of the suggestion. but this Is
regared as well nigh certain.
Comte Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador, will not be officially informed of
the fact until all the powers have
agreed TO the suggestion. when he will
be asked 10 present the invitation to
his sovereign. The ambassador evil
