well Known Negro Dead.

Walter Perry, well known and re-
spected negro, died in Columbia Mon
day. His remains were brought to
Lexington; his old home, where they
were inferred in the colored cemetery
yesterday. Perry was a quiet and
inoffensive negro, and was for many
years resident of Lexington, where
he followed the painters trade. Ex-
cessive drink caused his downfall
which affected his mind, and he was
carried to the hospital for the insane
on Thursday where he died.

THEY WILL BE HELD WITHIN A
DAY OF EACH OTHER.

The two big intercollegiate regattas of the
other The Poughkeepsie regatta will be
the first and It's date will be June 20. The
Yale Harvard regatta will be held at New
London Conn, June q. The stewards of
the Poughkeepsie regatta selected the date
they did because the tides VIII be favorable
late in the afternoon of this day when 1t is
desired to row. The last Thursday In June
is fixed date for the Harvard-Yale race,
for these institutions pay no attention to
the condition of the tides This regatta Is
a part of their commencement program and
they are willing to row in the morning as
early as o'clock If this hour is necessary
on account of the tide.
Harvard. University has mapped out the
most ambitious rowing campaign in her
history. Besides furnishing crews for the
American regatta at Philadelphia on May
rs and the New London regatta month
later the Crimson will have two other races
These will be with Cornell at Ithaca on
Memorial day and with Columbia at Cam
bridge on a date to be announced later.
That Harvard should undertake to have so
many races In a single season is quite I'M
expected in view of the represstve meas
ures applied to athletics Iere of late. The
most unusual part of HarvardS program
is her Willingness to row Cornell on Lake
Cayuga, though this is only fair in view OF
CornelFs two successive journeys to Cam
bridge. Harvard Is apparently willing to
assist Cornell in having a big regatta at
Ithaca each year on Memorial day. The
varsity Fights of these two universities
will row at Ithaca and Cambridge in alter
nate years and Cornell will have her own
junior college regatta at ithaca the odd
year. This arrangement of regattas is the
most satisfactory of any heretofore at
tempted.

IN ADJOINING PADDOCKS.
Siliko and Salvidere Wintering at
Hamburg Place.

LEXINGTON, Ky, January 19.-John E.
Madden, the owner OF the trotting colt
Siliko, which won the Kentucky Futurity
for three-year-olds at Lexington last
fall, is paying unusual attention to the
care of the youngster at Hamburg place
this winter. The paddock in which Siliko
is roaming at will adjoins the lot set
aside for Salvidere, the champion two
year-old thoroughbred race horse of this
season, SO at Hamburg place during the
cold weather visitors will witness the
unique sight of two famous youngsters
running in their respective paddocks side
by side. "Knapsack" Mccarthy will, of
course, have SililSo in his stable this year,
but the great young trotter will be fitted
for only one race, the great Pennsylvania.
Madden desires the son of Mako to re-
cefve every chance to win the Transyl-
vania as a four-year- old, and hustle
the record of Thomas w. Lawson's BoraI-
ma, the only Kentucky Futurity winner
that ever captured Pennsylvania ST.
Hko's two-year- old brother, which is also
owned by Madden, went a mile last sum-
mer in 225k, and Driver Beachy, who
raised both colts, is of the opinion that
with age the younger son of Mako will
prove a greater trotter than his distin-
guished brother. He is much larger than
Siliko, and of the sort that require time
for proper training, but he is nicely
gated and q natural trotter.

bers who want no such sudden and unan-
nounced changes.
At the Boston show of collies held by the
New England Collie Club during the past
week. the Princess de Montglyon amended
one Of her decisions made at the Philadel-
phia show of November, which occa-
sion she had placed DR.. Jarrett's home-bred
Wellesbourne Conquest over Mr.. INTER
myers Mountaineer Magistrate, which is
also an American bred dog. He is by the
imported dog Parbold Pierrot and was bred
by Mr. c. B. Hungerford, who, it was
stated, got 81 900 for the dog. He sold an
other of the same litter to the Glen Tana
kennels of Spokane and his price was also
said to be four figures, but both claims are
very much doubted. Magistrate as well as
Wellesbourne Conquest are proof that we
are now breeding exceptionally good colles
in America and if the rumor that Mr..
Mason of England is sending over some
collies for the New York show is correct,
he will have to head his kennel with the
great Squire of Tytton to have any positive
chance of beating the American dogs.

were very restricted. This stood from 1889
to 1895, when Mr.. Vredenburgh made the
suggestion that q committee with more
power, and made up of chairmen of stand
ing subcommittee and the officers, would
be an Improvement, sort of cabinet, as he
called it. The idea went through, and this
board was subsequently called the eXecu
tive committee. 1t was merely intended to
give to this executive committee the power
to act as a fller-in between the quarterly
meetings, a sort of urgency assistant, but
gradually 1t not only assumed powers not
originally intended to be extended to 1t,
but 1t became the custom to pass on to it
Guided by the delegates at the quarterly
meetings. The inch thus became ell,
and now it is the whole roll with bit of
selvage, called the American Kennel Club.
There is no antagonism on the part of
those who are not in accord with the recent
changes to much of what was done. They
are agreeable to the increase Of the board
Of directors to thirty and to some Of the
minor changes, but the great cause for
complaint is against what they deem a
usurpation of power on the part of the old
executive committee. To this committee
was simply given the work of Incorporating
the club, but not to transform the consti-
tuition, nor was 1t contemplated that they
would also elect themselves into Office for
term of years. The excuse for not per-
hitting the entire body of members to have
a voice in this election has officially been
stated to be the tmpossibilty of getting a
quorum, but as there were more members
a quorum at the time the executive COM
mittee elected themselves into office, the
directors are not willing to accept the
statement as at all convincing. That is
really the cause of the movement for the
change back to the old form of governing
themselves by holding quarterly meetings
of the members and giving them power to
elect thirty directors annually. Also to do
away with the smaller executive commit
tee which does not now enjoy the conf
dence Of a large number of the members.
Additional circulars have been sent out to
all members of the club by the committee
of the delegates, setting forth these points
very strongly and 1t will not be the fault
of the committee If all interested are not
made fully aware of what has been done
and what is sought to be accomplished at
the annual meeting. Another matter which
this committee purposes looking into is the
refusal of the treasurer to accept 1907 dues
from clubs which did not pay on or before
December 81. The custom followed for
years has been for the treasurer, who is
also the secretary, to accept dues UP to
calling the roll of delegates for the annual
meeting, and even to accept dues at the
meeting when he gave notice of those who
had not paid. He would then ask permits
sion to follow the usual CUSTOM and give
delinquents thirty days in which to pay or
have their names struck from the roll.
This cutting off clubs without any notice
has still further strained matters as be-
tween the powers in office and the mem

Sydney Referee:

season. Possibly that very narrow victory
(snatched by greater adeptness In turning
only over Cecil Healy in London a few
months ago caused Daniels to make up his
mind to let well enough alone. The race
geo yards championship of England proved
one of the most exciting witnessed.
Only in turning did Daniels exhibit superb
GRITTY. Healy certainly proved himself the
better swimmer. Nearing the end of each
lap he just made up what he lost in the
kickoff and looked to be forging ahead
when he had to turn again, and he was be-
hind once more. He put his very soul into
the last squirt Surely and determinedly he
gained inch by inch, but the finish was too
near. Americas topnotcher won by q

Another stroke and the 1o0-yard champion

up at falling in the special object OF his

flesh. The horses are bays and
stand 15.2 hands in their shoes. The nigh
horse called Bush, is of lighter color than
his mate, which is called Fairfield. The
latter is a few pounds the heavier of the
two but what the nigh horse, Bush, lacks
in weight he makes up in nerve force when
put in the collar. Bush weighs about 1,O5O
and Fairfield not far from LOO pounds.
The horses, when hitched, upheaded
prompt drivers, fearless of all objects,
possess good knee and hook action, have
good mouths and drive as one'horse.
X
President Roosevelt purchased Bush and
Fairfield through an agent in st. Louis,
Mo-. the latter part of last September.
Who bred them, in what state they were
foaled or from what strains of blood they
are descended is not known at the White
House. The President was looking for
team to replace the one he already had,
which was much worn from hard service.
and all that he demanded was that the
horses be bays in color, sound, of good
size and good bone and feet, and able to
haul his heavy carriages at something
better than a funeral gait. An inspection
of the horses would indicate that he has
got what he looking for
Unlike most men who have sat IN the
White House, President Roosevelt is
pretty good judge of horseflesh. He has
been accustomed to horses from early
childhood, and was born in section of
country noted for its fine horses the
unbeaten American Eclipse was foaled on
Long Island and the sire of his dam, Mil
lers Damsel was a daughter Of imported
Messenger, which. the greater part of the
time he lived after being brought to this
country, did service in and about Manhat
tan Island. Lady Suffolk, the first horse
to trot in go or better, was Long Island
product, and her sire, Engineer I'd, was a
er of the Clay family, was foaled on Long
Island, and it was from that section of
New York that he purchased by
member of the Wadsworth family.
X
President Roosevelt usually has ready at
hand two carriage teams, SO that in case
one of a pair becomes disabled another
pair can be substituted. The second team,
which he has owned for some time, are
called Albany and Troy. They stand full
sixteen hands, are light bay in color, and
were bred in western New York. They
show breeding, are very stylish In harness,
and look to be inbred Hambletonians. Both
teams are in constant use, and are com
PEELED to undergo great deal of wear and
tear. The heavier the team the greater
the wear and tear, for the asphalt
structive of the best feet ever at
tached to a horse. When the Pres
ident is at oyster Bay one team is turned
out until his return to Washington. While
at his home on Long Island the President
drives little; Mrs. Roosevelt more, perhaps,
than he. The President and Mrs. Roose
Welt are ardent lovers of the saddle, and
nearly every day when at Oyster Bay en-
joy outings over the sands.
