MOTHER TRAINED HIM.
Mrs Sherring Dieted the Winner of
 the Marathon Race.

tilC EAoIdthOh As"SSs
 Reports to the effect that William Sherring, the great little Canadian lad who, against field of eighty three of the worlds most famous distance runners. carried of first honors in the Marathon run at Athens, did not have trainer, are not true.
 Sherring did not have one of these fussy little officious fellows with a small cap and big voice and wa- ter bucket and sponge. He did not diet at training table watched over by the same cautious little person. age, who would tell nim just what he was to eat. His system was far better.
 The champions trainer was his own little mother. now the happiest lady in all Canada. No trainer ever guarded an athlete better, and when Sherring made that awful sprint toward the end of the twenty-six mile race over the hills of Athens, beating out the great Swede. vram- berg, and Frauls, the American, he was doing it on strength given him by good, old-fashioned home dishes.
 twill would always diet before his races" said the mother, at Ham, ilton, Ont, the home of the now fa- nous railroad brakeman. "I pre- pared all his meals. which consisted of just plain, wholesome food. My boy was always fond of apple pie, you know. but he never got any of it after he once started in to train. I would give up all pastry making. because he had often told me 1t was not good for him.
 "I was worried about Willie going so far away all alone. He had never been abroad before, and with no one with him I did not know just what would happen to him. As to his winning?"
 The kindly old face lit up with 6 smile as she toyed with her boys picture. showing him with an ill-fit- ting track suit which hid to a great extent the grace of his strong young body.
 "I never expected anything else but that he would win

Weakened In Stretch.
 NEW YORK. May 11.-Twenty-two horses of medium class went to the post in the fifteenth Metropolitan handi- cap and. after a mile journey over the main course at Belmont park in min ute and 36 seconds, John A.

 Second was F. R. Hitchcock's four year-old Dandelion. head in front of James McLaughlin's four-year-old Ok ford, the surprise of the race. Israfel. second choice in the betting. was fourth and Roseben, the public favorite. was fifth Roseben led into the stretch, but died away in the last furlong, his ef- fort being a repetition of the losing race he ran ten days ago in the Ex- celsior handicap.
 While the big. unwieldy field man. aged to get away from the barrier in quite a compact bunch, Ormondes Right was left. and only the horses which finished in the first five places were prominent in the running.
 Roseben had up 129 pounds. top weight, but despite this heavy impost he whirled away in front at diszy pace. and 1t was due to his early efforts that such good time was made over the dry but dead track, the rains having left their imprint on the going. The biz gelding did maintain his lead to the stretch, while Dandelion, Oxford, Is- rafel and Grapple were always within striking distance.
 In the run home the latter closed with great rush and won handily un- der Gamers good ride. O'Neill pushed Dandelion into second place, while Hill debrand performed the unexpected feat of landing the gray horse Oxford inside the money. Miller was on Israfel, and Lyme, as usual, was in Roseben's sad. de. Radtke rode Accountant, at 5 to 1, and finished tenth.

Mr.. H. r. Politzer, Supt. of
Electric Light Plant; and, also,
Supt. of Fire Department, has
just added greatly to the latter
by an invention of his own. The
invention is that of the chains
drawn before the horses at their
standing places. By this inven-
ton when the alarm is turned in
the chains drop without the
touch of a hand. The same cur
rent that gives the alarm turns
loose the horses, saving the time
elsewhere in opening gate or
touching any spring. 1t might
be said that it is Mr.. Po1itzers
knowledgeof electricity combined
with that of a fire department
that produce this invention.
