Washington, April 14.-The Wash
ington Post recently contained an in
'teresting review, by A. Kaufman, OF
the work of S. Coleridge-Taylor, the
noted Anglo-African composer. The
review is a tribute to England's great
est contemporary musician, whose
tHiawatha," is a work of inspiration.
The writer ALSO speaks of music in
it's relation to the race problem in this
country, and. says, 1T is generally
recognized fact that the negro race is
peculiarly gifted for song and instru-
mental music of a primitive order.
This is because the great mass of them
are like the masses of all races, de-
prived of the higher opportunities.
Given these, it is really marvellous to
what height of artistic excellence
this people, but~a generation removed
from slavery, and not more than three
or four from absolute savagery, can
soar. In the contemplation of such
facts it would seem that the solution
of the race problem, in this country,
were not so very distant, after all. In
nothing does a primitive race evidence

cernibly than in its musical manlfes-
tations. The Chinese to this day revel
in the twangiest sort of discordant
noises, and the Turk, despite his con-
tiguity to the civilized races OF Eu-
rope, has not yet divorced himself en-
tirely from his barbaric jingle. II the
thoughtful, philosophic and ever
broadening Germanic races have sur
passed all others in their constant
reach for higher development, may not
their development in the musical art
serve, in part at least, ASIAN index OF
capacity, in their social as in their
soul life? This, then, as applied to
the Afro-American race, may serve
equally as an index to great possibili-
ties, and be taken as hopeful sign
for the ultimate redemption of the
race. since it certainly adapts itself
readily enough to the cultivation OF
the best in music, when properly di-
rected.'

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 25.-Major Del
mar. owned by E. H. Smathers of New
York. and driven by Alta Mcdonald,
established a new worlds mark for IN
paced trotters at the Memphis Driving
park Monday, when he circled the
track in 2:01A. The previous mark was
2:01A held Jointly by Major Delmar
and Lou Dillon.
The. performance was cheered by a
large crowd and horsemen generally
were of the opinion that had the
weather conditions been more favor
able the son of Delmar would have
made even a lower mark. A cold wind
was blowing up in the home stretch
which materially lessened the speed of
the horse in the final effort for the
wire.
Delmar stepped the first quarter in
81 seconds, the half in 1:0oA and the
three-quarter pole was passed in 1907
In the run home he perceptibly tired
and passed the judges stand in 2:01A.
Dan Patch, the pacing champion was
sent against his own unpaced mark of
1:59A, but he failed to equal this rec
ord. Both Delmar and Patch were ac-
companied by runners on the side. Re-
suits:
The Sunny South, 2:13 pace. $4,000;

This morning arrangements were
made to put down we'll two miles
north of town on the Moon place One
well will be drilled in Immediately, and
two more will be sunk within two or
three weeks. These wells are in the
vicinity of those recently drilled in by
the Deer Creek Oil & Gas company.
An eight inch pipe line will be laid
from these wells into lola. This pipe
will he shipped from the east, in all
probability, and it very likely will be
near the first of the year when the
gas from these wells is brought into
lola and turned into the city mains. A
governor will be built in the north end
of town through which the gas from
the north field will pass.
The gas company expects to con-
tinue to enlarge it's mains in the city.
This has been the policy of the COM
pany for some time. During the last
year four inch main has been laid
from the north end of Washington
avenue to the south end, instead of the
two and three inch pipes which for
mefly served the purpose. On Jeffer-
son avenue a four inch main has been
laid from the Missouri Pacific railway
station to Broadway. On three sides
of the public. square a six inch pipe
has been laid.
