DATES
FIXED


me committee on speed, program
and date for the first exhibition Of
the West Virginia Fair Association
met last night. The committee was
composed Of A. ID. Parr, r. r.
Moore. Ellsworth Cork, W. L. Hur-
sey and 4. B. Deison.
The date selected for the first fair
On the new fair grounds was Aug.
II. Is, 10 and ~, 1906.
The program was arranged to
consist Of nine races with purse of
800 each or a total Of $4,000 for
The four days meeting. These
purses are for the trotting and pac-
ing performers. The classes are as
follows Trotting-2 40, 2:3O,
2:22 and 2:1S. Pacing-2 40,
2:e5, 2:20 and gals. And in adj
dition d free-for-all mixed, and it is
also possible that running race
each day viii also be added.
As was suggested some time ago
m effort would be made to form
light harness circuit OF Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia cities. To
this end correspondence has been
held between secretaries of the var
ious associations of the circuit, and
a result meeting of the secre-
taries was held at the Waldo this af-
tcrnoon.
The liberal purses offered by the
West Virginia Fair association at
Clarksburg, viii undoubtedly bring
- or 20 entries to compete in each
class at the meeting here, and will
doubtless inspire the directors of
other associations to equal LIBERAL
ity.
The attitude of Governor Patti
son, of Ohio, regarding ''the sport
Of kings" and the bills already
framed in the Ohio legislature an
tagonistic to the sport, will only
improve the racing in West Virgin
IA. Ohio is the nursery of the light
harness horse and in consequence of.
this legislative action the breeders,
owners and trainers will be forced
70 come to The West Virginia and
Pcnnsylvania circuits.
With the excellent advantages of
fcred here by the track of the new
association, it is not improbable that
before the season is ended, as good
as a 2:0S speed viii be developed.
Some of the old-timers hereabouts
who thoughtsthat 2:19 was "going
some" win have their eyes opened
before the West Virginia Fair as
sociation is many months old.
Work on the sixty-fourth concrete
pillars for the grand stand, which
are being erected by the LINER Con-
struction company, was temporarily
suspended today on account of the
bad weather. The lumber for the
stand is nearly all on the ground
and the structure will be completed
very soon, In fact, the public can
depend upon the fact that everything
will be in readiness for a first class
up-to-date light harnes meeting
when the West Virginia Fair asso-
citation throws open its gates for its
first annual fair and race meet on
August IA. Is, 16 and IL, 1906.

Kaiser William
An interesting character study

An interesting character study OF
the German emperor's children was
recently published by a gentleman
closely connected with the court, says
the London Tribune. The princess

When the youngest son was born the
emperor. replying to the congratula-
tons of a general, replied, Yes, gen

has been taken not to stunt individu-
alities owing to hard-and-fast regime.
The result of the emperor's careful
study Of his children's temperaments
is seen in the difference of Characters
tics in each of the princes. The crown
prince is more like the Emperor VIII
liam in temperament. He possesses
less of his fathers somewhat compla-

views (the Babel-Bible rescript;) we
have seen him interfere In matters
OF art, sculpture. and architecture"
In this latter connection his interfer-
ence. 1t may be observed, has not al
ways been happy in its results. Over
the cross of the Gedachtnis Kirche, in
Charlottenbnrg, rises an iron rod with,
star-a huge monstrosity due to the
fact that when revising the architects
plans the emperor intended to make
a note about the cross, and put star
with line pointing to the cross. Then
he forgot to add the note, but the
architect did not forget to add the
star. The result is CHASTITY.

OUR CANDIDATE.

The result of the election OF last
week merely emphasizes position
which has been maintained for some
time by The Evening Times that presi-
dent Roosevelt must be the candidate
OF the republican party to succeed
himself. The democratic morning daily
Of this city contends that the election
IN New York is slap at Roosevelt.
Nothing is farther from the truth.
Roosevelt like thousands of other men
not only in New York but otherwise,
recognized the danger to the nation
of giving political aid and comfort to
a demagogue like Hearst, and at the
same time saw that his election as
governor of New York meant his NOM
ination for the presidency by the DEM
ocratic party.
Hearstism and Heraldism which are
synonymous, have become danger
to the nation when there is even a
remote possibility that the national
power will be conducted according to
its principles. When the danger be-
comes approximate it behooves all
patriotic men to oppose the same. This
President Roosevelt did. And for this
he deserves the thanks of the entire
nation.
His desire to see his own state saved
from the danger OF political anarchy
is proof positive that he would not
hesitate to become the candidate of
his party for the presidency is such
a course were made necessary by
patriotic reasons and demanded by the
republican party.

most things that children like. Es-
pecially did his medieval conscience
revolt against the despatch of childish
missives to girl friends in the neigh
borhood. against surreptitious dances
with other children in the FAIRY
rings" and against the undignified
triumphal professions on the hay
wagons. Here, too, the Swedish senes-
chal was induced now and again to
intervene, and his friendly pockets con-
cealed many q little note to be con-
veyed out of the castle past the mar
shal's vigilant censorship. The child
fsh days were ended, and the Princess
Augusta was on her way to Berlin
when at last the senschal laid down
his Office and went back to his native
Sweden. But his memories made good

The Emperor In Public Life.
The world at large is so accustomed
by now to regard William II. as an
ideal to his people and a nuisance to
everybody else that it is interesting
to find West Prussian newspaper
venturing to criticize his public activ-
ity. It is still more surprising that
the aforesaid paper has not brought
upon Its "prison editor" term of i'm
prisonment for less majestic. "The
emperor" says the bold writer, "is
much more prominent in public life
than was William l. We have seen
him make many alterations in the
army; We have seen him take the ini-

tate merely to create political disc.
der. He has the clear perception to
see when changes in existing condi-
tons are needed, and in a marked
degree possesses the ability to remedy
rather than reform these conditions
without even the slightest jar to the
conditions themselves. 1t is this abil-
ity that makes Roose, cit greater than
other men who have preceded him
and who would likely follow him. He
has in hand now work which he can
do better than any other man, not
only because he is specially qualified
for the same but because he is familiar
with every detail. And even with the
same marvellous ability. his successor
would be compelled to spend at least
half his term in acquiring merely
rudimentary knowledge of the national
matters which must be disposed of
during the next six years.
The nomination of Roosevelt by the
republican national convention two
years hence means the perpetuation
of the republican party in power TO,
six years at least. The democrats are
determined to secure control of the
national government if it is possible
to do 80, and to this end they are as
fully determined to defeat the nomin-
alton of Roosevelt and are beginning
thus early in the conflict to discredit
him and develop a prejudice against
him, we'll Knowing that they can have
no charges which can be backed up
by the truth. This explains why the
democratic morning daily of this city
is already stating that he has been
slapped in the face by the returns
from New York.
