Fleet Daughter Of Hamburg Beats Whimsical
Dsaf Stakes for TwoYearOlds Captured by Clare Russell
Opening of the Midsummer Meeting
at Brighton Beach.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Without a jar
or jolt the midsummer meeting OF the
Brighton Beach Racing Association was
inauguratsd this afternoon in the pres
ence OF one Of the largest attendances
in the history of the track The
weather conditions were ideal for the
opening day Of the sport. The track.
however, was not quite up to eNpecta-
lions, as the heavy rain of yesterday
left the going in poor condition.
The opening day card was excellent
from start TO finish. The Brighton mile
went TO Hamburg Belle. 1t was a re-
markable contest between the greatest
two racers Of their sex, the great
daughter OF Hamburg, and Whimsical.
The queenly Hamburg Belle nearly met
her first defeat Of the year. Whimsical
was as game and fast today as you
ind them and in a sensational strug
gle was just beaten by a narrow mar
gin.
Hamburg Belle showed a wonderful
flight Of speed and clipped off the mile
IN 1888. She won by a head. Flip Flap
was an added starter. The winner of
the Advance stakes ran well. but was
no match for the first two The stakes
were worth $4,000.
The Distaff stakes were captured by
Clare Russell. The Russell flly was
fleet as a deer and showed great speed
throughout. The odds, TO /. laid
against her attracted many Of the bet
tors and she went into the race well
supported. Away well, she ran TO her
best form and won under the whip by
three-quarters of length. Summary:

Gold Mining Facts.
From the Los Angeles Herald.


Many person who unfamilisr with tie
gold deposits of California and Nevada
have but little faith in the widespread re-
vival of mining operations in these states
The booming of new mining districts and
the exploiting of new companies are quite
commonly regarded as speculative. with
out any substantial basis. This assump-
ton is backed with the argument that all
the mining districts In the TWO states have
been prospected for dozens of years. and
that If any rich diggings exist they would
have been discovered long ago. In this
view of the matter sight is lost Of the pri
mary considerat ton. 1t has been known for
perhaps half a century that gold Is widely
distributed in the same localities where ex-
tensve mining operations have been pro-
jected within the last two or three years.
The salient point to be considered, how
ever, is the fact that the gold deposits IN
question, so far as already tested, are gen
orally what is known low grade" That
is. the gold is not found In sufficient guam
titles to warrant mining operations except
upon an extensive scale and with the most
approved modern appliances.
When the earlier prospectors discovered
gold in the districts referred to they found
plenty of Color but not pay dirt The
diggings were not rich enough to Work prof
itably with the crude methods necessitated
by lack of capita3. Water is the para
mount requisite in gold mining. and II costs
a great deal of money to supply 1t In the
desert districts where the present mining
operations conducteu in Nevada and
California. sBut millions OF dollars worth
of gold have been taken, by modern APP
planes, from tailings and other refuse at
California mines that were abandoned long
ago In those days of improved mining
methods 1t is profitable TO go over the same
ground that was worked out In the carry
days, and also to operate In deposits Of
very low grade.

90 YEARS A DANCING MASTER.
At Eighty-Two Simeon Green is Still
a Disciple of Terpsichore.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
SiXty-two years a dancing master. and
still, at the age of eighty-two, active and
enthusiastic in his calling; for twenty-five
years band leader, and farmer all his
life-such is the career in outline of Simeon
Green of the town of Harvard, Mass, who
numbers his former pupil; by the thousand
and has danced around the globe Mr.
Green, or Prof. Green, as he is popularity
called, began to give lessons in dancing in
1914, at the age of twenty. He was born
in Townsend on May 2S 1894.
While he was a child his parents moved
to Lunenburg. There he learned to dance
and to farm at the same time. 1t was a
peculiar combination but he liked it, and
| has stuck to 1t ever since.
Mr.. Green has taught about 10, 600 nights
and days. His classes would average easily
| forty night, so that during each term of
| six months he would turn out in the vicinity
| of 25O graduates. On this basis he has
given lessons to more than Is 600 persons in
sixty-two years. Figuring that Mr.. Green
has danced on an average about two and a
half miles every one of those 10 600 nights
he has covered 25.O00 miles of waXed floors
and some unwaxed-in sixty-two years
| This is the equivalent of over four round
trips across the United States from the
Atlantic TO the Pacific and back or ore trip
around the globe.
In the sixty-two years of his life since he
began TO teach dancing he has not once re-
qulred une services OF a physician. When
he was in his twentieth year he had a seri-
Gus illness which necessitated the calling in
of a doctor. But he fought off the sickness
and the doctor at the same time and has
| never since had close personal relationship
with either.
1t is said Of him that in his prme-and
that was when he had attained the scrip
tural three-score and ten-he would drive
miles and miles in the coolest winter
weather without an overcoat or the slight
est covering his hands. He does not
seem to know the meaning OF the word
fatigue. 1t is no unusual thing for him to
work the farm all day. drive over sew
eral miles of country roads in the evening,
teach classes until midnight and return
the same night without apparent physical
exhaustion.
At eighty-two years of age he is as grace
full and nimble on his feet he was forty
years ago. He is teaching two juvenile
classes, one in Aver and the other in Little
ton in addition to private assemblies at
Aver in the evening. He declares that this
is going to be his last winter as a teacher
but his friends only laugh. I'VE have
heard that they say. for the last fif-
teen years.
In his juvenile classes he has tots from
five to ten years old In some of these
cases he has taught the little ones mother,
grandmother and grandmother

side the house and thinking that more
guests were arriving, went to the door, She
saw a group of men short distance from
the doorway and spoke to them. but re-
ceived no reply. Suddenly, as she stood
there two shots were fired at her in rapid
succession from the darkness, one causing
a compound fracture of her arm just below
the right shoulder, while the other struck
her sister-in-law, Mrs. Henry Gilmore, In
the left shoulder. The latter's wound is not
severe, but that of the bride is more serious
No effort was made at the time of the
shooting to pursue the assailant, but today
the officers, acting on a statement made by
one of the men who were outside of the
house. were looking for Andrew Farrell, a
young farmer The weapon used is said to
have been a rife of large caliber, carrying
heavy homemade bullets. The motive for
the assault is unknown. Mrs. Gilmore is
nineteen years of age and her husband
twenty.
