AUTOS COME TO STAY


THE automobile is no longer an expert

pastime a luxury" said a prominent
local dealer to a Star reporter yesterday.
The automobile has come to stay and

is to have a strong influence upon con-
temporary life, as every owner of a ma
chine has a largely increased radius of
nov ement.
That the coming Of the automobile will
be a social and industrial revolution 1 have
not the slightest doubt; that it will add
vastly to the sum of human pleasure and
health is certain. We shall know the land
we live in-its rural interests. its beauties,
its antiquities. The man who has busi-
ness in the town will not longer be depend
ent upon slow and rare service of trains.
Therefore thousands of the town jewellers
of today will be the country jewellers of
tomorrow. This will bring into the mar
ket at good prices a great number of coun-

There will soon arise in consequence an
irresistible demand for better roads.

to the practice of the railways and large
firms in using horse drawn vans. CONNER

WAYS THAT ARE VAIN
AND METHODS PECULIAR


There are tricks in all trades except
ours" SO spoke the race man to a Star re-
porter a day or two ago. This may be
true, for the reason that race-track fol-
lowers have come to that point where they
expect to be tricked all the time, so do not
take them into consideration. 1t appears
quite true that on the so-called legitimate
tracks tricks have been reduced to mini
num- hut there are tricks, all the same.
Speaking of the tricks that followers of
the ponies are continually up against one
of the old-timc frequenters of the tracks
said TO a Star reporter:
"One of the Cleverest tricks ever worked
on race-track followers was the use of nj
tratc Of silver in stealing weight. | will ex-
plain the process. The jockey was supposed
to weigh In at 10 pounds, when in reality
he only tipped the beam at 100. His very
shrewd trainer. being perfectly cognizant of
this fact. hit upon clever scheme. He had
made "a small can which he had covered
with tho same kind of leather that was
used in the construction of the saddle
This can be deity concealed under the
flap of the saddle. II was impossible TO de-
tect it. Into this can he poured ten pounds
of nitrate of silver. which formed com

weight of the can of nitrate of silver.
brought the beam down to 40 pounds, the
stipulated weight. Then the horse was let
out on the track. with the saddle in posi-
ton. The trainer made a great bluff about
throwing IA blanket over the horse, and he,
BY a dexterous movement. snatched the
can from beneath the saddle when he took
of the blanket. He slipped 1t In his shirt
front.
The race was run, and as the morse was
brought up the trainer again covered the
animal with a blanket. at the same time
slipping the can into its old position under
the saddle. There you are. The horse dur
ing the race was relieved of ten pounds OF
weight which was there all right when the
weighing out was performed. The trick
was abandoned on the big tracks, but II
stiIl holds good among the bushes and
pumpkins.

name l will not mention. turned pretty

from Washington. On the front feet of
every street horse today placed leather

advantage OF the situation. His horse was

The reasons for the superiority the rep
resentatves of the deaf students have
shown in their contests of Drawn with their
hearing competitors from the neighboring
colleges are not far to seek No doubt the
loss of the sense of hearing tends to make
the Gallaudet athletes concentrate their
minds and attention more thoroughly upon
the progress of the game in which they are
engaged, and it is also evident how their
entire dependence upon the sense of sight
would cause them to be. keener and more
observing to take advantage of any opening
the game affords.
The story of Gallaudet's work upon the
diamond is worthy of mention. She has
had some of the most famous base ball men
as her opponents, and she has always
shown up we'll Although Gallaudet has no
base bali cage and her ball nine has never
enjoyed the advantages of winter training
or professional coaches, she has always
shown up well, especially in 1899. In April,
1900, Gallaudet College entered a track team
In the relay races in the athletic carnival
held at Philadelphia under the auspices of
the University of Pennsylvania. In these
events Gallaudet was clasSed with such col
leges Columbian, now the George Wash
ington University; the University of Mary
land, Johns Hopkins University, Lehigh
University. Villa Nova College and ST.
Johns College of Annapolis, and in spite
of the tremendous odds the field representa-
tives of the college for the deaf led the
field in the first and second quarters and
came out fourth best at the end of the
races, distancing Lehigh and the University
of Maryland. The young ladies of the
school have a fine reputation for skillful
basket ball playing, and their opponents
can always rest assured of having a game
which will be contested with vigor.

lighter by many pounds the average
