friends of Viroqua, who remembered us

Fellows for tho watcher sent in the most
critical week of the writer's illness.
Such acts of benevolence and helpful
ness surely prove that the heart of hu-
manity ia not yet dead. One is remind
ed of the words of the grand old pro.

Redeemer In Mat. 25th, And the king
shall answer and say unto them, sInas-
much as ye have done is unto tbs least

unto me. [ also desire to thanK the

treat last Thursday and Friday brought
together big crowds Of interested farm
ers from long distances. The four day
sessions were devoted to subjects bear
ing on the very existence of farmers,

After lull the fighting was resumed

cRESCEUS' RECORD.
Board Of Appeals Does Not Recognize
~ Mark of 1884.

chicago, May 3.-The board of ap-
pcais of the American Trotting Asso-
.ciation at a meeting here, today, re-
fused to recognize the record of 1.59A
claimed to have been made by Cresceus
on the grounds of the Wichita fair as
sociation at Wichita, Kansas last fall.
The finding Of the association SAYS:
We find that the performance Of
Cresceus OH the grounds. of the rWiehiL
ia Fair Association at Wichita. Kans..
ON the 18th of October, 1903, was not
conducted in accordance with the rules
of the American Trotting Association
governing performances against time,
and that the time claimed to have been
made by said horse is neither a record
nor barunder the said rules.
1T Is therefore ordered that the an
plicatiOn to establish such record be
denied.
The sworn evidence presented to the
board. covering all the circumstances
surrounding the affair shows irregu-
larity and indications that gross fraud
was attempted not only upon this as
ISOLATION but against the entire public.
1T is therefore further ordered that
the secretary be directed to institute
an action under our rules against the
Wichita Fair Association and all par
ties participating in the said perform
aEce to the end that they show cause
before this board at its regular meet
ing in December, 1904, why said Wichi-
tn Fair Association and all such per-
sons should not be penalized.
