The Latonia Derby.

The Latonia Derby, Saturday, was
won by Talbot Bros, of this county,
but was given to The Foreman, a
miIlionaire's horse. .ItMas conceded
by every one present that Hambright
was the rightful winner, except the
Judges, who are the works. They had
to be content with about $500 of the
big stake for second horse. 1t was
raw steal by the officials and if the
Bourbon turfmen would do the right
thing they would never start another
horse at Latonia. The owner of the
horse the judges. decided in favor of
is millionaire and also owns con-
trolling interest in several big race
tracks, and it can readily be seen
why he got the decision-somebody
wants JOB on one of the tracks at
some future date.

The Starting of Commercial Club.


The most prominent of our business
men have long ago learned that in
order for our city and county to make
any noticeable progress they must
have a Commercial Club or similar
organization to set forth its advan-
tages and resources. But the eternal
question has always been, who will
start the movements" and so far the
ouestion has been unanswered. We
will start it. How? By issuing a
history of Paris and Bourbon county.
A book u by IS inches in size, printed
on the finest book paper, illustrated
with fine and original half-tone photo
gravures of the principal streets, res
dences, churches, business houses,
farm, business and professional men.
A book that every citizen will not
only be proud to file away in the
archives of his library, but will want
TO send to his friends and relatives
abroad as a souvenir of his city and
county; a book that will be of untold
benefit as an advertisement of Paris
and the grand old county of Bourbon.

President of Rock Island on an Ex-
tensive Tour of System.

B. L. Winchell, president of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific railway,
who has returned recently from a trip
abroad, is on an extensive tour of in
spection of the lines of his road. Mr..
Winchen left Chicago on a special
train on Friday last in company with
H. U. Nudge, second vice president of
the road. They Travelled over the
Council Bluffs line and were met Sat
urday night at Bellevilles Kansas, by
Dan E. Cain, general manager of the
system. The party then continued the
journey west and were in Denver to-
day. They will go to Dalhart, Texas,
and will be met there by Frank T. Do
Ian, general superintendent of the
southwestern division of the road, who
starts from Topeka for. that point this
afternoon. 1t is the intention of Mr.
WincheT to extend his trip to Santa
Rosa, and he may possibly make a
tour of inspection of the Choctaw d.
vision on his return north.
Mr.. Dolan said today that there was
no special significance to this trip of
President Winchell. He said that Mr..
Winchel had been away for some time
and was merely making tour of in
spection for the purpose of familiariz-
ing himself with the conditions over
the entire system.
