MADDEN MAY TRY
WITH KING JAMES
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 29.-John e. Mad
den has his eye on the great English
Derby and has hopes of repeating the
American victory of Richard Croker's
colt Orby Madden's King James, win
ner of the fremont, is eligible for the
Epson classic next year and, barring
accidents, will be sent across the At
lantic to carry the cherry and white
striped silks of the clever Kentucky
horseman.
Madden is very fond of King James
and believes he is the best of Plau-
dts sons. Several offers have been
made for King James, but Madden
either isn't selling the youngster or the
bids are not high enough $4,000 is the
price Madden puts on King James.
This seems rather too much for two
year-old which has just won his first
race, but Madden usually gets his price.
King James won the fremont in the
commanding fashion of colt that will
like the distance in races. He is en-
gagged in several valuable stakes and
his performances will be noted with
interest

GOOD SW|PES IN
GREAT DEMAND
Horse Owners Looking for Reliable
Grooms, and Those Who ALI
ready Have Them Are
Happy
snecial 10 The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
CHICAGO, June 29.-Good grooms OIL
'swipes," as they are more generally
called, are very scarce around the race
track this spring, and the trainers that
have good men working for them are
shaking hands with themselves. One
of the essential points in conducting a
successful racing stable is engaging
first class groomS to take care of the
horses-men who can be depended upon
and whom you can lay a good deal of
confidence in.
In placing in the hands of a "swipe''
a horse valued at anywhere from $4,000
to 10000, the owner takes a great deal
of risk-or rather he holds the groom
in esteem and considers him capable
OF handling his valuable piece of horse
flesh. Should al man hold that much
worth of property he would go through
legal process of sealing it SO that there
would be no chance Of it's getting away
from him or being damaged, but as it
is a horse he confides in the man who
will take care of his valuable equine
and feels just as safe and probably
safer over it than he would over his
property of the same value or some
thing else of equal value.
To be a "swipe" Is just the same in
horse racing as in any mercantile busi-
ness for great business man to start
as office boy. Many of the country s
moneyed men have scared to the top of
the ladder after starting in the cellar,
as the much abused office boy who
sweeps out the store in the morning
and responds TO the calls of his en-
ployer whenever his superior officer
wants him. 1t is just so in the light
harness sport. A number of the best
trainers in America started out by
"swiping'' horses, and it is every bit as
essential that he does start that way
to become acquainted with every detail
OF the business as it is for successful
man to know every step in any other
business.
"Swipes," as a rule, are wise horse
men, who can often tell more about
pedigree of horse than it's owner or
trainer. They keep a close tab on all
OF the horses, and when it comes time
for the races it is the "swipe" that is
looked for by the johnnies who have a
bet they want to place on a prospective
winner when they want tip. If he is
amind to, it is generally the "swipe"
that can give the tips that will win,
as he has kept a close record of the
horses and the way they have worked,
and he is generally quite well informed
upon all of the horses when the bell
taps.
While "swipe" holds stepping
stone position, he generally receives
more remuneration than the bank
clerks, the clerks in. the brokers' Office
and similar positions, although they are
all positions that man must hold if
he expects to succeed in the line of
business he processes to follow.

UP-TO-THE-MINUTE EDITED EXPERTS

year, and naturally the Frenchmen are
jubilant over their victory.
Mention of Kiel brings to mind the
Sender class trial races off Marblehead,
Mass The three boats selected to rep
resent this country at the German
American races at Kiel in August are
Marblehead, Spokane / and Chewink
VIII. OF the trio Marblehead and Che
wink VIIIAare new boats this year,
while Spokane 1 is one of last years
candidates which did not make good in
the trial races. She was built at City
Island. N. Y, after plans by Clinton
II. Crane, and is owned by Vice Com
modore F. l.. Clark of the Eastern
Yacht club Chewink VIII was de-
signed by Small Bros. and built at
Manchester. Mass, by Fenton. Her
owner, f. G.. Macomber, will sail her
in the Kiel races Marblehead, of which
great things are expected, is of Crown
inshield design, and a product of the
Rice Bros yard at East Boothbay, Me.
All of the boats must be manned by
amateurs, members of the club repre-
sented by their boat, and are otherwise
restricted as to measurements, ball
last, etc.
These boats are nearly of the same
class as Mischief II of the South Coast
Yacht club fleet.
| English Cutter Makes Good Time
In one of her races on the Thames
in England the new cutter, White
Heather, is said to have recently made
distance of twenty-three nautical
miles in ! hour and 30 minutes, the
fastest time on record in England since
the emperor of Germany's Meteor made
fifty knots in 4 hours, 25 minutes and
90 seconds in the sound of Killbrannon
in 1896.
Unless some mistake was made In
time or distance, and such mistakes are
| very improbable, White Heather must
have made fourteen knots, at least
part of the way. But as great a speed
is not unknown in this country, the cup
defender, Vigilant, having averaged
twelve knots for four consecutive hours
on Long Island sound in the fall of
1898, and the second defender frequent
ly ran away from the excursion fleet,
| making it difficult to report the races.
In the transatlantic race last year,
| which Atlantic finished in 13 days 7
hours, for mean distance of 5000
miles, she must have averaged at least
nine miles an hour, and it is likely that
the distance actually sailed was much
greater, so It is quite probable that ten
or twelve knots, if not more were made.

MEETING OF WALDO COUNTY
VETERANS.

The Waldo County Veteran Association
met in the Grange hall in Swanville, Thurs
day, March 7th, and although the travelling
was poor and it was very cold nearly two
hundred persons were present The towns
represented were Belfast, Citypoint, Sears

Waldo, Monroe, WinterpOrt, Frankfort and

place of next meeting, Comrades Scribner of
Searsport, Patterson of Monroe and Jones
of Brooks, reported as follows: time, May
End place, North Searsport. If stormy the
meeting will be held the next fair day.
When the call for dinner was sounded the
comrades were ready for it, as some of them
had driven from to 10 miles to attend the
| meeting, and there was plenty to eat and to
spare, although the diners numbered nearly
two hundred, and the question was asked
why is it that the veterans and their wives
and friends come out in so much greater
numbers each month at these meetings than
at any other meetings. The answer was
that there is closer tie among the old vet
erans than exists in any other organization
| in the county, and that the people are inter.
ested in the stories and speeches of the vet.

LETTER TO SWAN & SlBLEY, co.
Belfast, Me.

Dear Sirs If you could get the exclusive
sale of a coal that would give double heat
and cost no more, you'd jump at it, wouldn't
you?
You'd control the trade for a hundred
miles!
Devoe is like that among paints; a short
ton is as good as long one of any paint
you can name a gallon is worth more than
two of many popular paint.
Suppose you have painted your house
once in three years ever since it was new ;
you buy the same number of gallons Devoe,
have third of it left. and it wears six
years. Count your costs.
$1.75 gallon for paint; $3.50 gallon for
putting it on; you saved 5 gallons; $26.25
on this job. But you save the whole job of
three years hence: about $75. Put 'e' -
gether 800.
Can't reckon so accurately as the ut
you see how it goes. Paint isn't alik. tny
more than COAL How much more is coal
worth than slate? Yours truly,
