RACE IS PROTESTED.


c. H. Samson. owner of Ottawa Boy,
and George NJ. Ripple, owner of Ramb-
ling Red, have filed a protest against
Beazly being allowed second place in
the 3-year-old pace as awarded by the
judges yesterday, on the grounds that
he was distanced in the deciding heat
of the race.
Beaz1y won the first heat of the. pace
and finished fourth in the second and
third heats. Then all of the remainder
of the horses were dropped out of the
race leaving but the four in the field.
The second, third and fourth heats
were taken by Silver Tip which gave
Red took third place the first heat and
second place the three remaining heats
while Ottawa Boy took one fourth place
and third in the three remaining heats.
The fact that BeazIy won heat
while neither Ottawa Boy nor Rambling
Red took a first place entitled him to
second money providing he finished In
side the flag in the fourth heat.
It is the claim of both Mr.. Samson
and Mr. Ripple, the owners of Ottawa
Boy and Rambling Red that BeazIy was
distaneed by two lengths in the final
heat and for that reason is out of the
money. Their contention is strengthen
ed by the opinions of numerous horse
men who spoke of the fact at the time
the race was paced.
The claim of the two contesting own
ers IS that Starter Kennedy did not
drop his flag until after the second
horse had passed under the wire in the
finish of the first heat, which permitted
Beazly to get inside of the money. If
the contention of Samson and Ripple is
sustained by the judges, second money
will go to Rambling Red and third
money to Ottawa Boy, and Beazly will
not be inside the purse limit.

LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Story of Postum Cereal in Wcrds
and Pictures.

The growth of the Postum Cereal
Co is like fairy tale. but it is true
every word of it.
"The Door Unbolted" is the title OF
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
illustrates, the story of this remark
able growth. 1t takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started JAM L, 1898.
through the palatia1 offices and great
factory buildings of the White City
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, SO carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is the quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
| The general office building of Mr.. Post
and his associates is a reproduction OF
| the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
lson-Avon, and upon the house and its
| furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more hike the drawing rooms of the
mansions of our mulu-millionaires
| than like offices.
That Mr.. Post has believed thor
| oughly in the idea of giving to his
/ employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by the
general office building of the Company
and it's furnishings, but by his fac
| tories as well, and of all of these
| things this beautiful little booklet tells
/ the interesting story. 1t will be sent

Illustration OF the way in which the

Not on account of any fault of his,
