LAKE COUNTY HORSES
ARE IN FINE SHAPE
Are Switched From Pull
man Track to Crown
Point.
ANTENETTA A PERFECT BEAUTY
MacAleer's Laura Fay Still on nli-
nois Turf-Boney's and Cowell's
Horses Promising.

All of the Hammond horses at Pull
man except W. ]. McAleer's mare,
Laura Fay, have ben taken from the
Pullman track and are now at Crown
Point on account of the Pullman track
being so hard
Laura Fay is taking her work ex-
!ceedinly well but has not been asked
to step many miles better than 1925
as yet but she has paced seights in :151h
and it is the consesus of opinion of
horsemen at the Pullman track that
she can now pace the half mile track
this early in the year better than is.
Boney's Colt Promising.
Mat Boney's very valuable colt by
Deck Wright, was not asked to go very
fast at Pullman but he is doing nicely
at Crown Point and showing consider
able speed and it is believed some day
he will be one of the best horses in
this section as he is well bred and
very fine looking and a good gated
individual.
Dave Flemmfng Developing.
Mr.. Cowell's horse named Dave Flem-
ming, showed considerable speed at
Pullman and is going a rapid speed
since she was sent to Crown Point He
is a well bred animal and could go
faster. He is one of the incest looking
horses in Lake county
John A. Gavit's beautiful mare An
tenetta, was not so fortunate as the
other horses as she, in some way,
sprained some of her tendons and Mr.
Gavit has concluded to breed her to
Deck Wright
Antenetta a Beauty.
Antenetta is one of the most beauti-
full animals in America and one of the
best bred. She is sired by Strathdale
and her dam was by Allerton, and
grand dam was Leo Rex
The fact that her tendons has gone
wrong this year does not discourage
Mr.. Gavit as he knows he has a good
individua1. She is exceedingly hand

weighs about 10a5 pounds, four years.
old and can go very fast and was going
without the hobbies before she met
with misfortune.
Tendons Her Present Handicap.
Horsemen in this section, who know
the mare. are very much disappointed
that her tendons went wrong. OF
course, 1t is believed that this is only
temporary and the steps that Mr.. Gavit
has taken in breeding the mare was
right.
Horsemen all expect to hear favor
ably from Antenetta two years from
now and if her tendons go right it is
believed that she will be one of the
best and fastest mares that Indiana
ever produced.

as scarce as hens, teeeth, but said his
people will take chances on getting into

ONE HOSE CART
FOR ENTIRE CITY
Hundreds of Frame Buildings That
Are Grouped Together Across Wab-
ash Tracks Considered Fire Trap
and Much Speculation Is Caused
as to What Would Be the Outcome.

Gary lives In fear and trembling of
the fire fiend.
The town board met at special ses-
sion this morning to discuss the maf-
ter of the provision of fire protection
for the city. After every serious ere
Gary has had the matter come up for
discussion and the board goes a step
farther in providing for protection.
This time the board, if 1T has its own
way, win not stop at any haIf-way
measures as has been done I'm the past,
but Will attempt to provide adequate.
facilities TO handle the bIazes.
Department Entirely Inadequate.
At the present time there is but one
hose cart and no regularly organized
fire department., for city of ten thou
sand inhabitants. This, however, pro-
vfdes for only that section OF the city
where there are water mains and hy-
drants IN the drstSsub al fxisfon. and the
remainder of the city is entirely at the
mercy of the flames. In the case of
the Hessler building the little hose
cart which was dragged to the fire
over half an hour after the blaze had
started was absolutely powerless to
even check the flames. The only pro-
lection which 1t could possibly afford
at the present time is to prevent the
spreading of the flames, in the flrst
subdivision only.
Danger In Frame buildings.
AT all events the greatest danger Is
across the Wabash tracks where hun
dreds of frame buildings are grouped
together. If a fire was once started
here with a high wind it would be
difficult to speculate what the damage
would be. In any of the fires that have
occurred in that section of the city all
that could be done was to prevent
the blaze from spreading, If possible.
and let the building burn to the ground.
The members of the board suggest
therefore that all of the buildings be
with fire extinguishers SO that
confiagration of this character can be
avoided.
The town board in its efforts to build
and equip fire station is handicapped
by the law which prevents a town in
curing over certain limit of indebt-
edness. In order to build the station,
therefore, they are compelled to circu-
late a petition that must be signed
by majority of the resident property
owners Of the city before they can be
permitted to incur the debt.
Petition Is Being Circulated.
This petition is now being circulated
and every interested citizen who is
interested in the welfare of the city
Will no doubt give the measure his
enthusiastic support. This will mean
mat they will be enabled as soon as
possible to establish a regular fire
station equip it and employ a regular
.orce of men.
In the meantime it has been sug-
sested that regular force of voiun
eer nremen be organized and drilled
or tne present This would no doubt
'e Of great benefit in preventinx sa~,-
'us fires and the spreading of con-
lagration If they accomplished no more
nan that This step may be taken in
he near future

has followed the southern birds Of
passage. Here one may throw herself
into the rush OF fashionable frivolities
or she may seek some quieter spot.
For the journey travelling dress
that is natty and smart could be eff
fectively developed from olive whip
cord in a design that consists of a
blouse coat and two.piece skirt.
The blouse Jacket is supported by a
foundation. The blouse portions are
in one with the sleeve. and are not
scanned together under the arms, show
ing either foundation material or a
facing. The vest is applied to the
foundation and collar fold is applied
which apparently continues round the
neck The skirt portions are slashed
and belt confines the fulness about
the waist. The sleeve is full and long
and is gathered into band cuff. All
edges and seams are ornamented with
braid and the belt is of braid.
The skirt is in two pieces. The
closing is at the left side. while the
length is in clearing mode. Braid is
used in a key design on the lower
part Of the skirt. The hat was some
thing of a sailor shape and trimmed
with ribbon ruchings and long bow
ends. Another combination in color
would be grey worsted. trimmed with
black braid in which are threads OF
red or green or gold.
An attractive promenade costume
was constructed by cutaway model
handsomely trimmed with velvet in
sets and black silk soutache braid.
The coat is another model where the
sleeves are in one with the rest OF the
jacket, in this case Joined to the side
backs and fronts, while the back has
inverted fulness at the side-back
seams. The neck is cut low and fin
ished with a stitched band, and the.
fronts are gradually sloped away to
show the vest of French cretonne en-
broidered laylshly with silver thread.
The upper portion OF the Jacket is
overlaid with an inset pattern of vel
vet which has the appearance of
bolero laid on the coat. The sleeves
are left open at the bottom and deco
rated with the velvet. The skirt is
fourpIece model with a panel front
and opens on the left side while the
back is in habit mode. The hat Is
large cream chip wired at its edge in
a becoming shape to the wearer's face.
Long black plumes start from the
front and pass over the right side and
the back. The blouse is OF white Chi
ma silk laid in tucks and alternating
