FIVE FAvOR|TES
WIN At ASCOT
THREE OUT OF SIX RACES WON
BY WILLIAMS STABLE
sookmakers Are Hard Hit on the
Days Racing, and the Public
Profits Immensely in
Consequence
By FOREST LOWRY.

Colonel Martin Brady, well known
throughout the country as lover of
the race horse and kindred sports, ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday after
being held up in Santa Barbara by the
washout on the Southern Pacific line.
The colonel is the hero of the hour in
San Francisco for his successful fight
against the Ralston bill in the senate
at Sacramento. Although the most
sanguine were shaking in their shoes
and were beginning to lose hope, the
colonel was all smiles and kept on
hustling, and in the end succeeded in
gaining enough supporters to kill the
bill at its final reading.
Five favorites succeeded in annexing
the long ends of the purses at Ascot
yesterday, and as a result the book
makers quit the day very much to the
bad. The players of first choices as a
consequence had things all their own
way and went home with the "kale
seed"
Williams Wins Three
The stable of S. NJ. Williams again
was in evidence, candidates from the
Williams barn annexing three races
and all at fair price. Dugan, the
stable jockey, rode two winners, the
only mounts he had, and showed no i'll
effects from his recent injury, when he
was thrown by Ala Russell, which he
rode last Saturday.
Mi Reina, favorite in the first race,
for non-winners since August 1, an
nexed the winning bracket in an easy
manner. Headstrong and Prestolus
fought 1t out for the show, the latter
being beaten a head at the wire for
second money.
The second race seemed to be a
strictly two-horse affair, and the pub
lie went to Bronze Wing like it was all
over, backing the gelding from to 1
to to at post time. In a hard drive
at the wire Bronze Wing won by
head.
Silver Sue Wins Colt Race
The third race was a cake walk for
Silver Sue, and she, too, topped her
field from start to finish winning as
she pleased. Search Me and Prince of
Coins finished as named
Another for Williams
Lustig, neglected by the bettors, had
no trouble in annexing the fourth race,
and cleverly ridden by Dugan, always
had the field at his mercy. Ralph
Young and Atlantico, both of whom
were neglected in the betting, finished
second and third. Ethylene, the hot
favorite, could never get to the front
and finished in the ruck.
Watercure Canters Home
In the fifth race Watercure was in
stalled favorite and rewarded his back
ers by winning easily when called
upon. Invictus and Iras, who have
often hooked together and who once
ran dead heat, nearly did the same
thing yesterday for the place money.
6eing placed noses apart by the judges.
Freesias, on whom there was a heavy
play, showed a turn of speed for the
first mile and then retired to the rear.
Linda Rose and Swift Queen were
the choices in the last event of the day.
and in driving finish the Angarola
filly succeeded in poking her nose un-
der the wire in front of Lurene, who
nosed out the Queen for place honors.

kins defeated Frank Gotch in their
wrestling bout here tonight. Jenkins
won the first and third fall. The bout
was catch-as-catch-can.
Gotch won the second fall.

TRACK NOTES

Jockey Herbert will probably not be
seen in the saddle any more at the
present meeting. In race on BICYCLES
with c. Williams, in the employ Of S.
NJ. Williams, he was thrown heavily
from his bicycle and had his wrist
broken. The accident occurred Tues
day after the races on Flfty-sixth
street near Central avenue. Jockey
Herbert's absence from the saddle will
be keenly felt by the race-going
public as he was considered one Of the
best apprentices riding here.
Tab Holly Berry. This one ran a
cracking good race, firing only in the
last few strides. Will beat the kind
that beat her yesterday the next time
as she was probably short.
The finish in the second race between
Bronze Wing and Sportsman was so
close that the judges were the only
ones in position to place them. Bronze
Wing, heavily backed from to 1 to 3
TO 5, was given the race.

Found Dead.

The body of an unknown colored
girl in nude state was found last
Thursday afternoon by Mr.. Charlie
Corley lying in the swamp OF Red
Bank creek, near the head of the
pond of that name. MIR. Corley was
led to the gruesome find by the bsrk'
ing of his dogs, and upon investigs-
ton he found the nude body OF
colored girl: apparently between
the ages OF 1S and 20 From indcia-
tions she had been wandering around
through the mud and water of the
swamp without any object in view.
Her clothes were found and turned
over IT, tie wife of joe Jones at
Irene An inquest was held by Cor
oner Wilson, and the post mortem
was held by DR.. Sandel, who is OF
the opinion that the girl came to her
death from exposure while suffering
an ALTERATION of the mind as there
were no marks or other evidences
upon her person to even suggest that
abe was the victim of foul play. She
was buried near where the body was
fourd on land belonging to Mr.. A
r Taylor.
Circumstances have since develop
ed to establish the identity of the
deceased beyond almost the shadow
of doubt to be Debbie Minis, q cook
for Col. G. T. Graham, of this place.
She left her employment in the
morning of that day with the inten-
tion OF returning to her fathers
home in the Clark Mill vicinity,
where she has not yet turned up nor
is it known that she has since been
seen alive. Her actions that Thurs
day were, to say the least, strange.

Monday a Big Day.

Perhaps one OF the largest CROWDS
that has gathered here in a long
time. with the exception of that at
the County Fair, was on our
streets Monday. It was salesday in
November and the first day of the
fall term of the Court of General
Sessions. The number of persons in
town that day is estimated at from
500 to 700 The farmers are through,
or nearly 80, gathering their crops
and cotton is sailing up in the lis,
with prospects of going still higher.
Their cribs are full of corn and their
barns are crowded with new mown
hay. Their smoke houses will soon
be replenisbed with s new supply of
home raised bacon, with lard, saus-
age, puddings, cracklings and other
prodccts of the great American hog
Prosperity has indeed graciously
smiled upon the farmers, as we'll as
the people generally, of Lexington
therefore it is but meet and proper
that they should rest from their Ia
bors for short while and Icy aside
the shovel and hoe and take day
off to mingle with their friends, &C.
qusintances and neiehbors and pass
the time Of day with them at their
county seat. We're it DOT for these
occasional comninglipg of the people
at the Court House, one half of the
county would not know how it waas
with the other half. except as they
are informed through the columns Of
Dispatch.
Then, again, there were others
called here in the performance of
their public duties as citizens, and
yet still others for the purpose of
buying and selling. But no matter
what the motive was that induced
them to leave their homes to spend
the day with their town cousins, the
people were here, and that in large
numbers.
There was also large amount of
real estate advertised to be sold un-
der order of Court. Clerk George

To Construct u New High School
Building, In HilO.

AS a member of the Committee
on Schools and Schools Buildings,
I have this to say, If we are to
maintain a good School Sistem. we
must furnish the nessary Equip
ment, Which includes first of all
suitable and adequate Buildings for
the accommodation of the pupils
who apply for High School Privi-
leges, 1t has been evident for
several years, that our, present,
School Buildings, is not up to the
requirements of our growing Popu-
~lation, Some of the Buildings was
Constructed Several years ago and
are not up to the nessary SANITARY
Law, Intelligent effort has been
made by some of our Citizens in
the past to, have a High School
Building Built in Hilo, and a more
opportune time than the present
has never, occurred, This however,
is not the base upon which the
demand for a new High School
Building, rests, Simply stated, the
educational intrests of this, Island,
as represented by the public School
sistem demand, it, Briefly, we need
more room, the City is growing,
and will continue to grow, Our
school facilities must keep pace
with growth in other lines, First of
all, they must keep up with the
demand, A City without homes is
impossible; homes without children
are not to be desired, and even il
they were, the daily outpouring Of
juvenile humanity from the public
school buildings tells a story that
has in it no suggestion of race
suicide,
We are pledge to the High
School Idea, Perhaps there are
some who do not endorse it bu,
that is no matter, as the climax oil
a sistem of free education it is re-
garded by thousands, who have nc
thought of seeking its benefits fol-
there children, as something with
in there reach if they cared to pos.
sess themselves of it, 1t is an insti.
tuition that is as firmly established
in the American thought as is the
free school itself,
