They were of at one to good start
and Buxton took Creston out to lead
Of two lengths, which he increased to
FIVE on the turn into the homestretch
and appeared to be running easily
when Manheimer, who got through
next to the rail, came fast and gave
the hackers of Creston a short dura-
tion of heart 'sease," and Buxton was
compelled to ride out Creston to win by
half length from Manheimer, which
beat Auburndale eight lengths for the
place.
Five Bunched In Sixth
The closest finish of the day was the
sixth race, FIVE furlons dash, which
went to Creston Boy. There were five
horses punched few feet under the
wire. Creston Boy escaped the early
interference and Creston took him out
to set sizzling pace, running the first
half in Al seconds.
Nuns Yelling hung on to him like
leach and he could not shake her on

vantage and outgained her to win py

A Miraculous Escape
ON the way to the track the trair

Each Chooses Climate and Soil Besr
Adapted TO Its Nature.

Trees are fixed, almost inhexible in
their habits. says a government bulletin.
For centuries, indeed. as long as We have
record, each species has kept in its beat
en- ways; insisting on the same average
Of temperature and refusing to grow
where this could not be found, seeking
and occupying certain kinds of soil and
demanding certain amounts Of moisture
and avoiding situations where these were
wanting.
The latest authorities 20 so far as 10
declare that trees cannot be accIma-
tized that is. that even the ingenuity
and perseverance Of man are unable to
induce trees TO change their habits far
enough 10 adopt country not closely Ike
their native habitat For a time the
forester may use various devices to sur
round a tree with artificial conditions by
which, so to speak, the tree is deluded
into feeling at home. But as soon as the
foTester's care is withdrawn in such
cases, the tree is seized with homesick
ness and dies of it.
