Racing Features of the StauntOn
Horse Show

One of the most attractive fea.
lures of the Horse Show this year
will be the racing. We remember
last year the delay in starting the
races due to the owners of horses
and the drivers taking their time
in arriving at the starting point.
This year the Staunton Horse Show
Association is a member Of both
the National Trotting Association
and the American Jockey Club, and
If drivers and riders are not at the
starting point promptly on time
they will be fined a heavy sum OF
money. This assures the prompt
starting Of races this year. In
looking over the racing program
we cannot see why some OF the very
best horses in the country will not
enter. The Association is donat-
ing in money prizes, $4,000, dis
tributed as folIows:-two hurdle
races, $4,000; four flat running
races, 100000; six trOtting and pac.
ing races $1,000. This large
purse viii attract some of the fast
est horses in the country and give
the people of this section chance
to see racing they will never be
able to see outside Ut the large
tracks. Probably the best race will
be the Free for All on the first day
with purse of $4,000 This will
attract some Of the best horses in
the country and the lockers on"
are assured Of seeing fast and ex-
citing race. The two hurdle races
will also be very attractive features.
The Staunton Horse Show Associa-
ton has secured the services OF a
licensed starter in order to add to
the pleasure of the people and do
away with the delays at the post.
The time * too early TO receive en-
tries for The races but the manage
ment is already assured by many
noted horsemen that they will EN-
ter their horses. No one wants to
miss these races on the 18th, 9Th,
and 9th, of August and enjoy the
excitement when they're off,"

Educating Newsboys.

Boston has an association of news

fund for educating at Harvard one or
more among them, and has raised al
ready $4,000 toward the necessary
amount This lively association, says
Golfers Weekly, has already been ad-
dressed by President Eliot more than
once, and it's latest step shows how
full Of high ambition these boys are.
There could be, we gratefully believe,
no more sterling proof of opportunity
and of character in America than
these self-supporting youths now give.
In what other nation would boy born

An Odd Cure.


Are you sufferer from indigestion?
Here is a curious remedy. Rev. John
Spencer of Duluth has brought" back
with him from Ceylon one of the most
curious presents in the world. Riding
on an elephant" he said the other day,
behind a native prince on q hunting
expedition, the conversation CHANGED
to turn on indigestion, to which / said
I was subject. The prince at once
pulled out black leather button kind
of thing, which he was wearing ON q
string round his neck, under his
clothes. What's that?' said /. "A ny
ena's snout,' was the startling reply.
What for?' To cure Indigestion How
can it do this?' 1t is very simple. A
hyena gets it's living by digging up and
crunching old bones. Now, it pos
sesses in it's snout this peculiar virtue,
that when its nose approaches any
thing hard, such as bones, those tough
substances instantly grow soft, and
enable the animal to eat them with
comfort and benefit. So you will find
if you keep this charm hanging round
your neck the proximity of the hyena's
nose, though dried up and lifeless, will
soften your food, however indigestible
to such an extent that you will newer
again suffer from indigestion'

MONSTER BATTLESHlP1 FOR OUR NAVY.

Either of the plans submitted by the bureau
of construction and repair for the new batt}eslip
which is to be constructed if carried OUT will give
the navy of the United States the most powerful
battleship in the world, according to those who
know what the plans are.
The plans together with others submitted by
outsiders, now under consideration by special
board appointed by Secretary of the Navy Bona
parte. One plan provides for a vessel of exactly
10000 tons displacement, and the other for float
ing fort of 2O,5OO tons displacement
Either plan, it is confidently expected, will
give to the American navy a warship far more
powerful Than the famous English Dreadnought,
which has started all governments to rush the
