sacrifices which the crowd made TO

reported in The Herald.
After leaving the cars the sports
were compelled to walk nearly a mile
across a field which closely resembled

and when the crowd reached its desti-
nation everybody was literally covered
with Virginia clay, but all were well
satisfied with the exhibition and the
manner in which it was conducted.
Now that it has been demonstrated
that fight near Washington can be

likely that more mills will take place

LITTLE SENTIMENT ON TURF

Last Tuesday.

New York. March Ills there no
sentiment left in the breasts Of horse
owners OF the present day? Could il
be possible that it was really savabie,
which won the Futurity of 1909, and
conferred great fame upon his owner,
John A. Drake. which ran unplaced in
band Of ordinary overnight platers at
Hot Springs on Tuesday OF this week?
The horse which did August Belmont

would give much TO possess is now rae

himself. and is now running quite q

time did service Tor John a Drake. 1t
may be that Savable has been tried as a
stallion and has failed TO please his
owners. But even so, did he not
achieve enough as a two-year-old TO
earn honorable distinction?
However, Mr. Drake, to do him full
Justice, is not the only man who thus
treats his horses. Lord OF the Vale

Hughey Jennings, tell lot OF anee-
dotes about Courtney, om veteran crew
coach. Illustrating the sort Of discipline
he keeps over his men. believe them
all. for I have seen enough of his work
60 convince me most anything of that
sort might be true.
Along IN the nineties Courtney was
working one OF his best crews. 1t was
something over a month before the big
regattas, and the boys, after fine work
out one day, sent delegation TO Mr.
Courtney, stating that as It was then
strawberry time the crew would be
pleased If the training routine might
be relaxed sufficiently 10 allow each
member one piece OF strawberry short
cake.
Courtney assented, but emphasized the
restriction that one piece should be the
limit.
We'll. the shortcake came on. and.
for some reason or other. Courtney was
called from the dining-rOom at the time
It was served. As a result some Of the
younger men demanded another piece and
got il. The example spread. and. before
Courtney returned, every man on that
crew. with the exception OF the good old
stroke. had bolted at least two pieces OF
shortcake.
"Of course. Courtney heard Of Il right
away. He didn't do a thing but just
fired every one Of those men off the
crew. excepting the one who had obeyed
orders. Then. with the big races but a
month or so away, he picked up a green
crew. set them TO work fiji the boat,
whipped them into something like what

The Modern Woodmen of Chase coun-
ty held their county log rolling here
and the celebration was the largest
of its kind that has ever been held in
Cottonwood Falls
The main features of the program
during the forenoon were the Wood

Congressman ]. NJ. Miller. The pro-
cession, consisting of Woodmen floats
and scores of vehicles, formed at the
court house square and led by Miners
band, marched along Broadway to the
Bates grove, on the Cottonwood river
Probably the most interesting con-
test was the 35-yard foot race for
young ladies. which was won by Miss
Nellie Evans; the fat mems race, in
which Marshal Fred Wiley of Strong
City carried off the honors, and a
boys pie eating contest, won by Fred
erick Overstreet. a Chase county high

Chase county family, was awarded to
Mr. and Mrs. ]. T. Hopper, whose
family consisted of eleven members.
