GOODNESS Of I1eBlon the car would have
turned over.
LeBlon had to change tires three
times in one lap, and seven times in
all.
Even under these discouraging con-
dittons, LeBlon drove lap after lap
slightly over thirty. while the win
Ming car everaged nearly twenty-nine.
LeBlon lost confidence in the relia-
bility OF his tires. and naturally drove
more carefully and slowly; even at
that he passed Lancia and others of
the fastest cars at full speed, and was
passing Lancia the second time when
his tire blew on and threw him across
the road.
While defeated, 1 do not feel dis
graced.
In one year we have produced a car
! equal in speed, workmanship and sub
stantiability to any foreign car. Our
sole trouble was tires and lack of time
to thoroughly tune up for the race.
The delays in slowing down, stop
ping and gaining speed and the neces-
sity of driving more carefully ON ac-
count of dangerous tires lost LIE Blon
more than SO minutes more than any
foreign car lost on account of tires.
With equal luck with tires it is evil

tween the great nations for supremacy

cruising races and that they have
been in the game for several years.
While this is practically the first year
that Americans have entered into
these industrial contests with cars
strictly built on racing lines.
The sole cause Of the failure of real

have been unable to get any veri-
fication of these reports, but they find
credence in well-informed turf circles
The antt-American feeling on the
turf Is not nearly so strong as it was
, several years ago, but whether this is
due to the absence of winning Amer
lean stables or an actual dying away
of the prejudice against racing men it
would be hard to say. l am rather
afraid If the Americans should come
over in force and carry of a gooily
share of the turf classics there would
BIO revival of the feeling. and it
would be made unpleasant for them.
There are. of course, many of the,
strongest men on the British turf who
would welcome such men as are men
toned, but 1t must be confessed that
there are many others who have no
use for, American owners. trainers,
horses Dr. jockeys, especially If they
win.
This feeling crops out occasionally
now, when there are practically no
AMERICANS racing here. For instance,

in a recent issue attributes much of
the bad temper in the modern race
horse to the Introduction of the Amer
lean style of riding He says: at
happens than ever with the powerless-
ness of those Jockeys who adopt the
extravagant form of the American seat,
which most Of them do. There seems
every reason to believe that the pres
ent style of riding, which makes a
horse forget al that he should have
been taught in his breaking and school
ing, has something to do with the
great increase in the number of bad
and uncertain tempered horses. This

| :. Another sporting writer says:
American notions whether applied
to horses or jockeys, are full of faults
and Inconsistencies. and until we re-
| cover from the full effects of the
Yankee invasion we shall not i'm
| prove the national sport"
All of which goes to show that the
anti-Amierican feeling is by no means
dead, and it is doubtful if it really is
dormant. In the meantime, the
American seat" wins races over the
old style of riding. ?

FARMING Is CHANGING.

The character of farming is chang
ing rapidly. 1t is coming more and
more to be an efficient, profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there an exception, in the past we have
not given much consecutive thought
to the business-nothing like as much
as the merchant gives to his business
or the doctor to his. 1t has been SO
easy" business that unframed men
could succeed in it. The change in
economic and social conditions is
breaking up the tradition. Farming is
becoming more difficult and the old
methods must go; In the future only
the well-informed and efficient-think-
ing man can succeed-that is, only the
educated man.
The country is to offer other adyan-
tages to the educated man than merely
to be good farmer. There are good
opportunities for leadership on public
questions-probably better emporium
ity and with less competition than in
the great cities. The very fact that
city representation is increasing in the
legislatures should make the able
country representative more of a
marked man. The growth of the in
stitute movement, of the grange and
other rural organizations gives fresh
opportunity to develop leadership of a
high order.
1t seems to me that, by the very
nature of the progress we are making.
the college man must go to the farm.
In fact, college men have been going
back from the beginning of the agri-
cultural education movement: Sta
tfstics show that very large percent
age actually have returned to farm
ing, and this in spite of the fact that
cities have been growing with marvel
GUS rapidity, and that the whole system
OF agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations has been developing and
calling for men. Considering the lin
itations under which the agricultural
colleges have developed, without sym
patty. with the Indifference and some
times the opposition of charlottesville
very men who should have known bet
ter-with wholly inadequate funds, it
is little less than marvellous what
they have accomplished within gen.
GRAFTON. 1t is probable that the pro-
portion of students of the leading agri-
cultural colleges who now engage In
agricultural pursuits is greater than
students of that OF colleges of law, or
OF other professional colleges who fol-
low their chosen profession. No one
now questions the value of education
to lawyer or physician: why ques-
ton Its value to farmer? The edu-
Gated man will go back to the farm il
