That Ban Johnson Is certainly wise

LEADING THURMAN OF THE WORLD.


Probably the most prominent figure
in the light harness world today Is c..
X. G. Billings, the owner Of Lou Dill
Ion, queen of the trotting turf. Mr..
Billings is one of the many millonaires
whose special hobby is harness horses.
though only in the last few years has
he allowed his tendencies In this direc-
ton free play. One OF his first pur-
chases that turned out we'll was Miner
va, gray mare that he drove IN 2;l5A
Then came others in rapid succession.
His FIRST real star however, was
Bumps. With this, horse Mr.. Billings
established an amateur record of 2.Oo
for PAGER to a wagon, and the horse
with a mile In 2:03A to wagon,
with Franker Jennie X. and others,
Mr.. Billings held his own among the
amateurs, but II was not until he came
out with Lucille In 1900 that he really
held the foremost position among ANA
teur drivers Of trotters. Her mile with
the Chicago man in the wagon In 20I
was far and away the best by a trotter
to a wagon with an amateur driver. MIR
Billings also got the record for PAGERS
TO wagon, an amateur up, when he
drove Free Bond in 2;04h, No other
man had two such performances with
horses from his own stable to mis- credit
With Hontas Crook, Sunland Belle, Ma
bel onward and Captor the Chicago
man won a lot Of races Franker also
helping IN tbs regard, and then over
his own magnificent track at Memphis
Mr., Billings again lowered the worlds
record for PAGERS. this time TO 2'0lh
with Little Boy. In the matter OF
heavy harness horses Mr. Billings is
also prominent each year In the horse
show ring In Chicago and In New
York.
Speaking Of Mr.. Billings and his
great mare Lou Dillon, the American
Sportsman says:
while the stable OF the wealthy New
York enthusiast contained great gal
axy OF equine stars, In the purchase Of
the chestnut mare Lou Dillon, Mr..
Billings secured a trotter whose Won
derful achievements during 1893 have
earned for her the title Of Worlds
champion several times over and added
TO the great fame and prominence al
ready enjoyed by her popular owner.

Manager Joe Cantllon Of the MIL

coming chaplon baseball runner of the

minor leagues, including the Three is.
1t seems that Williams, despairing OF
becoming a ball player, hired out to a
Montana ranchman to tend sheep. on
being put to work the first day he was
given a pony and told to take a flock
of sheep out to a grazing patch, keep
them rounded up, protect them from
straylng or being attacked by wolves,
and return with them at $3.50 o'clock.
Williams, however, declined the use OF
the pony because he could not ride Well
enough and claimed he could run fast
enough to keep the sheep from stray
ing, In spite Of the oYerseer's protests
and warnings. When the rest OF the
herds returned that night Williams did
not appear, and 1t was not until 8 o.
clock that he brought his flock to head
quarters He was taken to task at once
by the oyerseer with: 81 told you bet

a torpedo boat destroyer from an English

Ltbau, where she was delivered to the
Russian authorities. Despite the never
ending watch OF countless Japanese ships.
eudlng the guard OF watchful British
officers, and slipping past vigllantly care
full German off cinls, Burke Roche took
tho destroyer to Russia without other
papers than O bill Of sale. The destroyer
was taken across the North Sea through
the Kicl Canal, steered by two German
pilots, as required by law, and was an
chored near German cruiser until her
papers could be examined. 1t WIS here
that the most thrilling chapter of this war
Romance was enacted. for Burke Roche

through tho Baltic before German naval
officers fully realized the character of
