Cincinnati, Oct. For the first

day Of this week, the tangle that arose
over the last series in New York be-

WORLDS MOST EXCLUSIVE CLUB
English Joy That There Is One Door

The Royal Yacht Squadron is prob

derful to relate in this plutocratic age
money is quite powerless to unlock

the ordeal of the periodical ballot,
while men OF no fortune or only just
enough to deiray the upkeep OF a small
yacht have been elected without an
idea OF a blackball
The only apparent qualification is
that the candidate must possess a
yacht Of his own; but there are other
qualifications much more difficult OF
attainment by the man OF money. and
II is just here that the question OF
blackballing comes in. Il must be
owned, rather refreshlngly.
For really one had almost said that

until one recalls the pleasant circle OF

Mrs. Woodman gives it in Mr. Whit
tiers own words:
There is but little doubt that at
the age OF 90 | felt myself to be a
real poet, somewhat unknown to fame,
but sufficiently acknowledged as such
by the committee directing the dedi-
cation OF the new academy for them
to invite me to read an original poem
on that occasion.
Robert Dinsmore, an old Scotch
farmer in Windham, and a writer OF
rhyme and doggerel verse. was also
invited to do the same. The honor Of

RACE TRACK MEN
TO TAKE HAND
IN ELECTION
Registering in Enormous Num-
bers in New York City
AFTER GOV. HUGHES SCALP
Special Trains From Washington,
Canada and Other Points to Get
Racing Men to the Polls.

New York, Oct. 7.-Registration fig
ures for the districts which take in
the several race tracks in and around
New York indicate that the race track
interests intend to take an active part
in the coming election. All records
for the first and second days of regis
tration have been broken in these dis.
tricts. Horse owners, trainers, stable
employees, track workers and others
who depend upon the race tracks for
their livelihood have taken the earliest
opportunity to enroll so that they can
vote.
1t Is said in explanation of the in
creased figures that the race track
men have organized this year to defeat
Gov Hughes for reelection and that
at the coming election.
AS there will be no racing in or
near New York at election time many
owners and trainers will be at tracks
in other states. notably Benning track
near Washington, II. c., and tracks in
Canada and California Plans are now
being made by the race track men "a
charter special trains TO bring them
here election day to cast their ballots
In some Of the race track election
districts the registration figures yes
| terday and today increased more thar
double over last election and a large
increase was noted in districts neal
the race tracks where the interests Of
storekeepers and property owners ha.
been affected by the slump in racing
as a result Of the passage Of the anti
betting bills. The village of Sleeps
