very close to record time. All the fields

two-year-olds made a brave showing in the
race set apart for them, and good sprinters
met in the first and fourth events
The sport yesterday was uniformly good

the spectators up.
In the first race, Mimon was the favorite

horse would be in the air at the wire to
get the decision. Julia NJ was played down

The Individuals who assert tia
''it is a we'll known fact that running

statement advocate river water,
should give the important subject
some real consideration Why does
it purify itself? Is it not because
the composition of the bed of the
stream is such that there is present
ed natural filter? The mere fact
of the water running" does not
purify. Sewerage may be rushed
through pipe for thousand miles
and be sewerage still. Ali river
beds are by no means good purifiers.
The fact, the plain, bald fact present
ed in the analysis made for the pres.
ent water commission, and made
probably under favorable conditions,
is that the river water is not pure.
The waters of many rivers are known
to be impure. Why then, the par
