Pace on Good Roads.

Following in Tart is the paper read yes terday by MT. Page before the good roads convention:
 Four methods are usually resorted to for securing the means necessary for building and maintaining public high ways: cash tax statute labor, bond issues, and toll levied upon travellers. Some cash taxation is of course necessary under any system. Bond issues may be wise, just as 1t may be wise or unwise for an owner of property to borrow money for the purpose of improving that property The question of how mucn money a community can afford to spend on It's roads Is one which the community must determine for itself The office of public roads. which I represent, is en- deavorng to place in the hands of cou'- ty officials full information as to what other counties are accomplishing wheth- CT through bond issues, cash tax or other wise but l do not feel that l have any more right to say that you should incur a liabilay by the Issuance of bonds than that I should tell my friend in San Fran cisco that he should borrow money to improve his vacant lots. It Is not my purpose to go into the question of whetn- CT you should raise money for improving your roads or how you should raise the money; but rather to urge upon you the necessity of applying, in the administra- tlon of funds already available for this work the same judgment that you apply in your everyday individual business transactions.

Today is Dan Patch day at the state lair.
 The famous pacing champion of the world will make an effort this afternoon to lower his record of a mile in l :55 flat. With a clear day and warm sun, the chances are at least equal for a new ecord.
 This will be the greatest. racing at traction ever seen at fair in Alabama and thousands of people will wend their way to the fair grounds this afternoon to zee the great event.
 For the past three days Dan Patch has been resting quietly in his stalls at the fair grounds, waiting for the time when lie shall give his exhibition. His stable nas been the mecca each day for hun dreds of admirlng horse lovers, who sought eagerly to obtain look at the great horse. Head Stableman Hummer has been kept busy refusing requests 10 open the doors.
 Dan Patch was never in better con- dltion' said Harry c. Hersey last night,
 and he is fit for the trial of his life tomorrow afternoon
 The drizzlng rain which fell during nearly all day yesterday served to in- crease the fastness of the course. MT. hersey says that the track will be in magnificent shape provided no rains falls today. He said:
 Don't be uneasy about the day, the sun will shine and it will be good day for Dan Patch to go against his record, because Dan Patch Is the luckest horse il the world. He never had but two or inree bad days in all the years that l have driven him. Of course, there have been days just previous to the one on which our exhibition was to be given, that the rain fell and make the track heavy for our trial the day following, but in only two or three instances has Dan Patch really had to go against bad weather on the day he was advertised, so I say you may rest assured that the weather will be alright"
 Paraded Before Stand.
 Dan Patch was exhibited before the grand stand yesterday afternoon and was loudly cheered by the thousands of people who were seated therein. Interest In the exhibition was exceedingly keen all day yesterday at the fair grounds, and throughout the city everybody was talk ing anout Dan Patchs effort today and wondering whether he would be able to reduce his record Everybody Is now satisfied that Dan Patch will really do his best to further reduce his time.

DAN PATCH WILL RACE
 AGAINST RECORD TODAY

". Johnson of Minneapolis, representing Dan Patch's owner Colonel NJ. W. Say age. arrived in the city yesterday 10 be present at the great trial today. He came all the way here to see the great pacer go against his record and he be- lieves that Dan Patch will come very noar lowering it. He expressed himself as being delighted with the Birmingham track and says 1t Is one of the finest he las ever seen in the south.
 Dan Patch's History.
 The great champion pacer never en- tered a race until he was four years old, at the time when many horses have al ready been on the track for two years. N hen four years of age he took record: Of 2:16 1-2. The next year as five-year- old, he went down the grand circuit de- feating everything he met and losing only one heat throughout the entire sea son, completing his triumph with a record of 2:04 1-2.
 Dan Patch has paced 44 mile heats in tune of from POI to 1:55, which is more than all the champion pacers and trot- ters in the history of the turf put to- gether have gone.
 He has got eight miles this year under 1.59 1-2 He is the only ten-year-old sire in the world with two of his off springs to get in the 2;1O list. These are Ed Patch, 2:0S S-4 and Judy Patch, 2;1o, both of which are here with him. He is the only horse that has eyer defeated the great record of Star Pointer of one mile In 1:59 1-4 which the latter held for ten consecutive years. Star Pointer g record was made at Rockville, Mass, with shield, dirt shield or pacer and 1t remained unbroken until last year when Dan Patch under the same conditions lowered 1t at Memphis to los flat. This record was only made by Dan Patch after four efforts. three of which were made in one year. He thus lowered Star Point CTS record for himself, which will prob ably stand for years to come.
 Mir. Hersey has In his possession d miniature painting of Dan Patch in the shape of a stick pin made by New York artist at a cost of $25O. The picture is less than an in in diameter and is covered by very fine mineral closely resemlmg pearl and which was so hard that it required a diamond to cut 1t to fit to the gold band which holds the picture. The painting is so fine that the veins in Dan Patch's head are clearly porceptible It Is the only picture of its kind in the world and MT. Hersey says he would not take $500 for it.
