Posse Now Hunting for Miss
Black.
PHYSICIANS CONFIDENT
She Would not Ask for Food
and Shelter.
Thought She May be Hiding In
Woods on the Uncapher Farm
South of the City.

A posse of men, consisting OF five
patrolman, Mayor Scherff and DR..
Adair left early Thursday morning
for the Uncapher farm south OF the
city, where they will spend the day
searching the, forests for Miss N. A..
Black, the patient who wandered away
from the Sanatorium Monday night
The Sanatorium officials are resort
ing to every possible means TO locate
the woman and are Offering reward
|of $25 for information leading to
her present whereabouts. The police
headquarters have put out postal
cards, on which is printed descrip-
tion in full of the patient and the
reward offered for her capture.
The patient had a mania for hiding
from people and the Sanatorium Off
cials are of the opinion that she has
taken to the forest, where she is wan
dering at large. She left the Sana-
torium shortly after supper Monday
evening. At o'clock Tuesday morn
Ing she was seen by country people,
walking rapidly down Delaware pike
near the Uncapher farm. She was
seen last at the second cross road
south OF the Children's Home.
The physicians are quite confident
that the woman would starve before
she would go to farm house and
ask for anything to eat, and 1t is
feared that she is now lying in some
secluded spot in sick and half-fam-
ished condition. The Sanatorium
management will spare neither trouble
or expense in their search for the lost
woman, and the longer the hunt con-
tinues the greater grows their anxi-
ETY..
Mis- Black is about S5 years of age.
When she left the Sanitorium she
wore white shirt waist and dark
blue skirt. She is light complexioned,
has auburn hair. is s IT. s In. in
height and weighs 100 pounds. The
reward money will be paid to the
person first locating her.

SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE.
Greatest Cycling Event Of the Year
in This Country.

NEW YORK, November 30.-The an
nual six-day bicycle race, the greatest
cycling event in this country. will start
on the night Of Sunday. December 8, ono
minute after midnight, and continue until
the following Saturday night, December
IA. AS usual, Madison Square Garden
VIII be the scene of the contest
Radical changes will be made in the
rules governing the running Of the race.
The officials Of the National Cycling Assoc
citation, the governing body of all cycle
racing on this side of the water, are now
preparing new rules tending to eradicate
all unfair or foul riding. 1t has been
claimed In past years at various times by
contestants in the race that riders have
deliberately fallen from their wheels to
prevent losing lap. Be this true or not
there will be no possibility of such things
happening in the coming race, as the new
rules will effectually prevent any trick
cry.
The recent six-day race in Boston has
put the majority of the American riders
in great shape for the weeks grind here
and 1t is safe to say that never in the his
tory of the fourteen contests Of this kind
which have taken place in the garden has
such an array of foreign talent journeyed
here in an effort to capture the big prize
When Patrick I. Powers, manager of
the race, went abroad last summer to
secure the fastest riders in the world
for the forthcoming contest he neglected
10 sign Arthur VanderStuyft, the Bel
gian, not because he lacked speed, endur-
ance or pluck, but because he was looking
for new champions. Vanderstuyft how
ever, made up his mind to have another
try. if Powers would permit it, and at
once started for America, accompanied
by his younger brother Leon. The BEL
gans are now here, but it has not been
decided whether they will be allowed to
start in the big event. Young Wander
Stuyft is only seventeen years old but
he has won every amateur race in which
he started this season. including the
championship of Belgium. If the BROTH
ers are successful in inducing Powers to
let them ride in the coming race II will
be Icons first appearance as a profess
Sional.

cleaning up the bases. The crowd which
a moment before had been disagreeing
on the decision was now expressing
thanks for the mistake. The three runs
scored on the hit played a prominent part
in Boston's victory. According to Silk
this is the only bad decision he ever
made that turned out to be a good one.
These are but few illustrations where
the umpire has put a different complexion
on the result of the game by a question
of judgment or by ruling some player out
of the game. 1t seems to be the irony of
fate that when a man is ordered out of

that she wasn't going to the track that
day, or ever.
Well, missed her society on the rides
to and from the track. But stayed with
the prohibition. She wasn't to bet on the
horses any more.
Now, she didn't sulk or pout or nope
over this ruling off that I dished out to
her. Fact is, she rather disappointed me
by taking it SO amiably She not only
settled down to stay at home without a
whimper, but she never even mentioned
the horses to me. And when I happened
to mention my business myself she fell
into the habit of waiting me to some
other topic.
I'D rather you wouldn't talk horse to
me, If you don't mind, she would put in,
at such times, quietly, but firmly I'm
tired of the topic. Let's talk about the
theater you are going to take me tonight,

Now, I never stopped to think that this
sudden weaving of a woman from a game
in which she had been acutely interested
for years was too extraordinary to be
genuine. All the same, it pleased me- and

speculations were followed by the turf
writers as if he'd been Davy Johnson
or Joe Yeager. They called him the news

ADDED ATTRACTION NEEDED
HARNESS HORSE RACING NOT
sELF-sUsTAINING.

Harness horse racing In connection
with fairs will be tried next season in a
manner which may change the whole
aspect of racing and open a practically
new era for the sport. The great ma
jority of the hundreds Of trotting races
held each season are given in connection
with agricultural fairs, but that the day
would ever come when some of the most
important meetings of the big circuit
would have to resort to fairs as an extra
races and thus increase the gate re-
few years ago.
that next year the historic Charter Oak
Park track at Hartford will give its
grand circuit meeting as part attraction
of a fair to be held the same week over
the grounds, and that the sum of $4,000
has already been subscribed for that
double purpose. Boston reports show
that similar plan may be adopted for
the Readville track. and some believe
that the Narragansett Park track may
follow both during the big meeting at
that point.
In the past trotting races in connec-
ton with fairs have been held at couy ty
seats and several larger cities Were
the state agricultural fairs are held an
nually, nearly all of which, large or
small, have proved the best paying events
Of the year. Heretofore Syracuse has
been the only member of the grand cir
cult whose race meeting is a part of a
state fair, while nearly all of the leading
members of the great western circuit are
a part of big state agricultural fair,
some of the biggest being Hamline,
Mimi; Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Spring
fed, ILL.,. and Des Moinss, all of which
draw an immense attendance annually,
besides a large entry list in comparison
with the value of their stakes and purses.
Neither Hartford, Readville nor Provi-
dence, provided the last two will follow
the example Of the first, has ever been the
location tor a state fair, and as they
are in line the last two weeks of August
and tine first week in September. rather
too early in the year for agricultural
fairs. it will be of interest to know what
sort Of extra attractions can be provided
in order to draw big and paying attend
ance to the trotting races by this method
1 Inis radical change has become appar-
emily necessary for the maintenance Of
these reading tracks on account of the
ban set against pool selling, which is now
a thing Of the past as far as New Eng
land is concerned.
In spite of the. much advocated argu-
ment that harness racing without specu-
lation can be made to pay the manage
ments of these leading tracks have found
it impossible to sustain their respective
plants without the income derived from
that source, which has been in the past
the best paying feature of big or small
trotting meeting.
