consisted of a strip OF canvas about
four feet square attached to the
sulky of the running pacemaker.
Another sensational performance
was that OF Major Delmar, E. +.
Srnatfers' trotting champion, when
he trotted a mile to a high wheel
sulky in 2o7 fiat It was announced
by the judges before the trial that the
sulky was mountaineering and
weighed 81 1-2 pounds. 1t was also
explained the vehicle was the same
pattern as that used by Maud S., in
her memorable flight against time in
1854, when he trotted a mile in 2.oS
3-4.
The DAYS sport was rarrcd by an
unfortunate accident. Edward
Gccrs. the veteran driver and trainer,
was exercising Ioynakcr, q local trot-
ter, and on turning into the stretch
at a fast clip collidcd with one OF
several track wagons on the grounds.
His suIky was tilted high in the air
and Gccrs was thrown heavily to the
ground. When assistance reached
him it was found that he had sus-
tanned severe injuries, one leg being
broken and the other badly injured.
Geers was taken to hospital
where last night it is reported he is
resting easy. His injuries are re-
garded as serious

. The Care of Cabbage.
Michigan Farmer.

Michigan Farmer.
To have success with cabbage il
takes very careful attention at this
time of the year. The green cabbage
worms are its worst enemy, as they
are eggs one day and worms the next.
The cabbage should be examined al
most every day. If any worms be
found pick them very carefully and be
sure to find all OF them. Then use
white helebore-it can be bought at
any drug store. To one gallon of
cold water take one tcaspoonful Of
helebore and sprinkle the cabbage
thoroughly with mixture. Open up
the little inner leaves so the mixture
will get on all the leaves. There is
no danger of poison if it be entirely
dissolved as the heads form from thu
inside
The spider is also to be watched
and is harder to handle, for if it is
not killed it goes to other heads. En-
anime the heads and if webs are
found spider is not far away. Kill
it if possible, then clean away the
web. Break off the large under
leaves so the sun can shine all around
the plants Taking off the big
leaves gives more nourishment to the
heads and leaves no hiding place for
insects.
A little salt sprinkled on the heads
makes them crisp, but this must not
be done when the sun is shining hot
on them, as the salt will burn the
cabbage Early in the morning or
after the sun goes down is the best
time to make this application.

Most of the revolutions OF the nine
teenth century resulted from soldiers
taking the same view as the Round
heads in the day of the Great Protect
OF in England. The overthrow in
1868 of Queen Isabella of Spain: OF
Empress Eugene, the: regens Of
France, in 1870; of King Louis Phil
ippe, in 1S4S, and of King Ohio of
Greece, 1859, were due to the failure
of the soldiers to rally around their
sovereigns in moments when the lat
ter were in open conflict with their
people-that is to say, with the state
while it was solely due to the 10y
atty of the army to the monarch and
to it's preferring its allegiance to the
crown to its obligations to the people

Records Broken.

Memphis, October 27.-With a
pacen1aker, carrying wind shield in
front and accompanied by runner
at the side, Dan Patch, driven by
Hersey, paced the fastest mile at the
trotting park yesterday ever made by
horse in harness, circling the track
in one minute and fifty-six seconds
fiat. The former record, 1.56 IA.
was made by Dan Patch in 1902. The
son Of Joe Patchen warmed up in
splendid shape and after scoring once
Hersey nodded for the word. With
clock-like precision the brown horse
stepped around the first turn and to
the quarter in 20 seconds. Turning
down the back stretch SOFT Hudson,
who drove the pacemaker, had to
urge his horse forward as Dan Patch
was crowding him. The pacing marvel
fairly flew to the half in 81 I-2 Sec
onds and when the time was announc-
ed a great cheer came from those
present. On the far turn Dan Patch
seem to falter, but only for an instant
and on passing the three-quarter pole
the timers board showed 1.26 1-2.
When fairly Strengthened out for the
flight to the wire the brown PAGER
seemed to gather renewed cour-
age and coming on at terrific clip,
passed the judges stand in $50 fiat.
Cheer after cheer greeted the per-
formanc and Hersey was carried to
the stand. The wind shield used was
the same as that employed when Lon
Dillon trotted mile in 1.s8 1-2. It
