MATINEE MEET HELD.
GOOD RACING ar ELM CITY
PARK YESTERDAY +

Under Auspices of New Haven Driving
CIub-Fine Exhibition Mile by Belle
SIine-seyeraI Close Heats-Trnck In
Excellent Condition.
Another very successful matinee meet
was held by the New Haven Driving
club yesterday afternoon at Elm city
park. There was an unusually large at
tendance and the day seemed to have
been made just for this occasion. The
lsky was almost cloudless and just
enough breeze was blowing to keep
every one cool, although the spectators
got quite excited at several close fin
ishes. Among the most enthusiastic
We're Congressman N. d. Sperry and f..
S. Porter, both guests Of the club. DR..
E. C. Ross was the starter and the
Judges were Robert Nesbit, Charles III.
BcNnes and Dwight Moore. All Of the
heats were close and none Of the races
had even the appearance Of a process
sion. Perhaps the most interesting
event of the afternoon was the exhibi-
ton mile paced by Henry Levy's Belle
Mine, driven by George Grips. AS the
runner which was to pace him did not
show up Harry @. Trowbrldge, who hap
pened to be present with his gray
mare, very kindly consented to under
take the task. Mr.. Trowbridge showed
very clever and daring Workmanship,
holding his horse in place perfectly. Mr..
Grips wished to beat 2:20 with the
horse and succeeded with the following
time, given by quarters: :SS, 1905 IA,
I1:41, 2:17. For the free for-alI class for
owners not belonging to the club silver
cups were presented to those coming
In first and second.
During the interval between two of
the heats a collection was taken up and
given for prizes to the winners of sew
eraI impromptu foot races gotten up
among the boys at the track. Al min
nature money scramble was also held,
and many Of the boys fairly earned the
money they got.
In the last race Kitty McGregor and
Lizetta were Withdrawn after the first
two heats, disappointing many Of the
spectators, as Mr.. Grips horse had a
good chance Of winning the race The
following are the entries in the free-for-
|all class: Amber Wilkes, owned by
James Nesbit; Proctor w, owned by
DR. Atwood; Echo Belle, owned by
Pearl Sperry; Kitty McGregor, owned
by George Cripps, and Lizzetta, owned
by George Nesbit. The race resulted as

THE SELF-TAMED MUSKRAT,
Shy Little Animal Made Friends with
a Farmers Family and Be-
came a Pet.

The muskrat is very shy, and II
seems strange that of its own choice
it should elect to become a pet: bu;
this is the story told in the Christian
Endeavor World:
The family lived on the banks of a
stream, where the water flowed swift
ly. free from ice, until it emptied into
the pond nearby. Along the shores OF
the pond the muskrats each season
built their huts In the winter they
frequently swan about in the open
stream, and the boys threw apples into
the water for them.
At length one rat ventured to climb
I'D the steep bank and prowl about the
house. Not being molested in his Wis
it's, one night he crawled under the
kitchen floor and gnawed through into
the kitchen. After that he was the pei
of the family.
He took food from the boys hands
and allowed them to stroke his fur.
He did not object to being taken in
their laps. He preferred, however, to
lie behind the stove; there he would
stav for hours. The hole he gnawed
was. boarded up, and he was taught to
come and go through the door. When
he wished to come in, he scratched at
the door. At night he sometimes
nroyed troublesome. If no one an
swered his call, he crawled under the
house and began gnawing new hole.
A queer pet he proved. He was not
nearly so quick on land as in water.
When he walked across the floor, his
long, scaly tail dragged noisily after
him. His favorite food was apples.
While eating, he "scooched" on his
launches and held the food in his
paws. When he had eaten enough, he
pushed the rest into dark corner.

81 never saw such a thing in my life
before! Maybe you won't believe me,
but that bird made so much noise as it
came through the bushes that thought
it was a herd of cattle. And when it
came to where could see it, each of it's
legs looked as big around as my leg, and
it was as tall as small tree. And such
a beak as it had!
''It went directly to the spot where the
egg had been, and then 1 was frightened,
for l knew if it caught me with the egg
I'd be eaten up in minute. But didn't
dare to move. When the monstrous
creature missed the egg, it set up an
awful squawk Then l dropped the egg
and ran in the direction that seemed
clearest of trees.
"The bird ran, too, for could hear it
crashing through the bushes, and ex-
pected every minute to be taken in its
big mouth. BY and by couldn't run
any more, and fell down, when five big
birds similar to the one had already
seen came leaping along straight at me.

ever name they call themselves, wan
tonly crush and obstruct the liberties
OF men; as long as man is conscious
tnat he has soul and has the daring
to insist upon his freedom of thought
and action
