Today's Probabilities

The track will still be muddy this
afternoon and the fourth race on the
card will be the feature event
A lightweight selling event is card
ed as the first race. If Revolt can
pack weight she will be a hard mare
to beat today as she is in grand form
at present and likes the Going. Bill
Curtis is a good weight-carrier, likes
the going and should be close up at
the finish. Woodthorpe and Chan
cellor Walworth should fight it out for
show money
Buttons and Capable look to have
the second race Letween them and
should finish one two. Retropaw should
about be third. The others only have
an outside chance to be in the money.
The third race looks like a three
horse affair between Mary Glenn,
Mazapan and Piquet, and 1t would not
be surprising to see them finish in the
order named Cocksure has an out
side chance to be in the money
Platoon, with 95 pounds on his back,
is my selection for the fourth, as he
may open big gap the early part
OF the race and never be headed. Don
Domo should about get second and If
anything beats the top one this is
the most likely one to 20 it. A Musko-
day likes the going and should be
close up all the way. Won Tromp IS
not very fond Of the muddy going and
may not finish In the money.
Nine tWo-year-olds win scramble I'm
the fifth race and the one that gets
away first may lead all the way. Reno
Rebel Is a quick breaker, so look for
him to be the winner. Swaggerlator
should have little trouble to place, as
he Is fast. The Carman entry should
beat out Billowy for third Watch the
market on the latter. as he Is fast

GOVERNMENT BOATS
 PLY THE ALABAMA Preparations Made for Work
 Near Montgomery SELMA IS INTERESTED Walter Jones, White Man, Kills
 Charlie MeaIing, a Negro, Near Benton-Quarrel Over Settlement.

Selma, December 2.-(Special)--ln these days when water transpc 'tation is the main fopiC of discussion among thin 1ers and well wlsllers of this section, the pas- sage of the two government boats the Twinng and the Alabama, by the city wharf today, has caused considerable speculation and has raised high hopes in the hearts of the people that at last q four-foot channel all the year round will be the result of the governments efforts.
 The two boats had barges and house boats in tow and were en route to the vi- cinity of Montgomery, where the next work is to be done. This work, however, will hardly be done until spring or sum- mer, as the water is too high now to per init of the building of jetties or cleaning out the channel. The fiotilla has been en- gagged in the vicinity of Mobile and has been doing considerable work. The two boats touched at the Selma wharf only for a few minutes. just long enough to load coal and provisions to take them to Montgomery.
 In the interest of the waterways of Ala bama, E. c. Melvin. who has just com pleted a successful year as president of the Commercial and Industrial associa- ton, and E. J. Schuster prominent hardware merchant. will leave to attend the convention in Washington as repre- sentatives from Selma in conjunction with Congressman Craig, Secretary Stat ter, and w. C. Agee. Selmians are great ly interested in the improvement of the Alabama river, and there is a movement that it is hoped will find continuation Tn the putting on of steamboat to ply en- trely in behalf of Selma.
