Socially, Gold Cup Day kept up its
reputation. There was a repetition of the
a great crowd. The weather was perfect
and the display OF handsome and gayly-
colored costumes surpassed that OF for
mer years.
IL Is interesting to recall that the gold
cup is one OF the few races i'm which sew
eral dead heats have been run. As far
back as 1909 Brighton won only after q
dead heat with Epson. In 1892 Carmine
was the winner after a dead heat With
Rowton. Blackstone and Tim Whiffler
ran nose and nose in 1863. and two years
later Ely won the cup after a dead heat
with Gen. Peel No trace of the stolen
cup has been discovered as yet, and the
race yesterday was run with the prize
non-existent.

The greatest problem which will con-
front the baseball authorities will be the
question of a coach. At the recent base
ball banquet Coach sexton stated en-
phatically that his practice would make
coaching In the future impossible. This
decision is sore blow for Brown. as
he would be just the man to train a
comparatively green nine. AS yet no
one 10 take his place has been settled
upon. On the wisdom OF such choice will
largely depend the success or failure OF

of the cool green waves. 1t Is the nome
and lively place of the frolfcking Fin
Folk-the Sinner family, the Flat Filters,

Minnie Minnow could always win; with

But sometimes she was kind and would

And never get wet
Minnie and Finne and Fannie and
Winnie were very happy in Sw:sl. but one
day, while at play, Minnie Minnow went
away to a place called Splish, where the
water Is very shallow.
Now Minnie Minnow's mother had gone
away. but left behind the rules of play:
''In Swish you safely may abide:
In Splish Is danger; watch the tide
But Minnie forgot to watch the tide. and
was having such very good time dartlng
here and there In the sunny shadows, she
never noticed, until too late, the tide had

It happened this way.

sky pull the waters of Splish till II gets
auite-quite dry. And any little fish that
stays in Splsh will flop about and struggle

But Minnie was wise; when she felt the
water go she shut her eyes and dug her
fms with all her might into the mud. sunk
out Of sight.
The hours went by and splish was dry,
and Minnie gasped and choked, but sud
denly the water began to come back.
Presently Minnie was wetter. she felt
much better. but a sadder and wiser little
fish swan safely back to cool. green Swish.
