Desertion of Jockey Jones.

r. e. Watkins is not pleased by any
means by the loss of J. Jones, the jockey
who upset all of the stable plans by going
over to the City Park track and making
an agreement to ride for Bob" Smith dur
ing the winter. Watkins went to New Or
leans with a big stable of horses which
belonged to f. r. Thomas, NJ. l.. Hsyman
and himself. They numbered thirty in all.
He went to New Orleans with the idea that
he would have ]. Jones do the stable rid
ing. and as he had plenty of horses the
boy would be kept busy all winter. Wat
kins only had an oral agreement with the
boy, and after j. Jones had gone over to
the City Park track he brought the matter
before the stewards, but they could not
make the boy go back as there no
signed contract with Watkins and the
Jockey.

TLa War III Turf Circles

Buffalo and Louisville, it is one of the
strongest indications that there is no idea
on the part OF the older turf body to com
promise. while the American Turf Asso-
citation. having already the control of near
~ all the leading western race tracks wnere
IL is possible to hold meetings is not go
Ing out of its way to solicit any conpro-
mise.
Prior to the opening of the racing season
at New Orleans, when public feeling had
been worked up against the free gate nui-
sance, there was considerable talk that IL
the two tracks raced with free gates again
this season the mayor would hold I'D the
amusement license from both of them when
they are reissued the first of the year AS
the fight is being conducted now there Is
no chance that the mayor will interfere,
and, In fact those in a position to know
claim that he could hardly combat the in
Huence or the two tracks The fight there
fore is evidently on to the finish.
AS things are going the war will not only
last at New Orleans this month, but will be
continued at various points up the line
when the spring season begins next year
President NJ. J. Winn of the new Louis
vile Jockey Club has stated that his club
runs under a state charter which permits
pool selling and has conveyed the intima-
ton that the Cel!a-C Condor combination NAV
find 1t difficult to hold meetings at Doug
lass Park even after they have the plant
properly equipped for racing purposes. This
is a legal question that will be determined
later
1t looks now as If Messrs. Celia and Con-
don would not invest large amount of
money in property with the intention of
holding race meetings unless reasonabl
sure that no impeachment could be placed
in their way

Why Not See Mexico?

Forty-eight hours of travel will take
you from the cold clustering Northern
winter to land of sunshine and flowers
What Egypt and India are to the old
world, Mexico is to the new. "a land
of white sunshine, redolent with towers
land of gay costumes, crumbling
churches, and old converts, Gland of
kindly greetings, of extreme..courtesy
of open, broad hospitality. 1t was
more than enough to reveal in an
Italian sun, lighting up semi tropical
land; to look up to white-capped peaks
towering into blue; to look down upon
wind-swept plains, encircleds s,by ragged
chains of mountains; and to relize that
today, in its varied scenery, costumes
architecture, street life, canals crowd
ed with flowerladen boats, market
places thronged with gaily dressed
natives, faded church interiors, and
abaneoned converts, Mexico is the most
marvelously picturesque country nnder
the sun. A tropical Venice; semi
barbarous Spain; A new Holy Land"

She Stocked Up on Prayer.

One little girl that l know OF is SO
sleepy when she starts for bed that
1t is occasionally hard work for her
to make up her mind to finish the
good night prayer.
A few nights ago she dropped her
head upon the pollows earlier than
usual. She wasn't very sleepy ant
at once began to dash of prayer In
refreshing style. The first prayer
over. along came another one and still
a third. About this time her mother
surprised at the turn proceedings had
taken, asked the little one what she
meant by so many prayers. why"
explained the little girl. I'm going to
say twelve prayers. now I'm awake.
and then I can go two weeks without
saying one."-Lowell Courier.

Old Belief Knocked Out.

A recent writer says: One Of the
most complete Interpretations with
regard to the voices of birddom oc-
ours when we listen to the monosyl-
Liable COO of the 'restful turtle dove
By no means a musical sound in
itself. yet it is so bound up in ovT
minds with the sleepy glamor of sur.
mer afternoons that we imagine the
sitting dove as grooming to herself
from sheer conteu1ment with her lot.
Very different is the reality. That
drowsy monosyllable is the voice of
the male dove. Usually he is giving
peremptory orders to his vile to get
of the nest. in order that he may
take her place. and is she hesitates
to obey her enforces his commands
with sharp pecks upon the head. At
other times he seems merely to order
her OF the nest for the pleasure of
witnessing her devotion to his per
son."
