TRY OUTS IN MON NTG0MERY

Montgomery, September 2.-CSpecial9- There was big workout over at the track yesterday when the fact was de- veloped that some the colts were going nice.
 Fred Newell is handling Will Webber's good grey gelding, Castor, and he didn't have to ''pinch" him to come under the wire twice better than 2:15. Fred says Castor is good enough for any company he will find at Birmingham and Macon next month.
 Red Ribbon. the pride oe the Pensa- cola. horsemen, showed great form and did trial mile easily in 2:16, and with little urging could have shown several seconds faster.
 Blue Ribbon, the blaze-face Francis mare, got close to 2.14, and it is thought she can do better.
 Doc Wilkes old eampaigner, Katie Wilkes, who won the free-for-all in the last matinee race. is keeping up we'll and when the bunch goes to Birmingham great things are expected of her. l A little Pail Mall Ally, in her two-year- old form, showed quarter in 36 sec onds. This baby is a little rat of a horse that was raised over in Autauga on briars and bermuda grass, but shows the making of a great race horse.
 Lily Pointer, the greatest three-year- old in the south today, continues to train well, and if she don't get in the 2:1o class next year then there is nothing in 1 forecasts.
 1 It is not a usual thing to find barn 1 of horses out of a racing country where not less than four good ones can be found that can do stunts in the 216 l class.
 1 There is good-natured rivalry between the Montgomery and Birmingham Driving l clubs, and the real first clash will come up at the big State Fair in October.
 Interest in Rabb.
 The Leslie Rabb incident and for whom there is a reward of S400 when delivered to the Montgomery county jail, grows i'll | interest as more of the accused's record comes to light
 Sheriff ". w. Pridgen at Evergreen reached the city on an early train and brought an excellent picture of Rabb. He went to a local engraving establishment and had a holf tone cut made of Rabb l which will ornament a second circular to | be sent out today People from Conecuh tell awful stories on the badly wanted boy.
 | A prominent clllHSn ol OoIttuu III hlo7 cussing Rabb said: We dread q trial of that case in our county. We have no | sympathy for the boy and if the whole matter could be settled outside of the county 1t would give little concern. If he is brought back to Evergreen the trial will bring about a powerful feeling In the community. Hon. Cal Rabb, the father of the boy, is one of the best men in our | county and has thousands of devoted friends and no matter what the individ- ual feeling may be the sympathy for the father, in Conecuh, is very great. If the boy is caught and brought home it means bad feeling and bad blood"
 Lady Was Angry.
 pr. w. H. Sanders state health officer | is back at his desk and is feeling wonder fully cheerful over the fever situation He is of the opinion that the doctors will get control of the epidemic in New Orleans before frost which will be a great victory for the profession.
 There was absolutely nothing in the report of a case at Morriston, in Baldwin county, where the doctor and Dr. Charles Mohr of Mobile, were called last night The woman was said to be i'll and had come from uninfected territory and had health certificate properly stamped in | Mobile. She was not sick and had moi | been for some time. Naturally she was | very angry and the doctors had more or less trouble in keeping their patience
 The various relay camps are in good shape and Dr. Sanders is highly pleased over the situation at Mobile. He may go to Memphis little later and is ex. pecting full report of the situation there | in a few days.
