He and q companion were taken before Marshal Kinney for fatherIy and impressive talk The boy who is about twelve years old offered in extenuation that he did not know any better
 MATINEE RACES TODAY.-This is the day of the first racing matinee to be held by the newly organized driving club and it will doubtless call to the track a large crowd of people inter- ested in fast horses. All should re- member that the events will begin promptly at 1:2O o'clock, owing to the fact that there is a long programme and to complete it will require the economizing of time. There are six races scheduled and there are numer- ous entries in each one. And best of all, from the standpoint of the general public, everything is free. There will be no charge either It the gate or for the grand stand The purpose of the orga nization is to encourage interest in the horse business and the driving association wants the moral support of the public rather than it's money. A hearty invitation is therefore extended to everybody to go and see what the ponies can do.
