r OE Ullman. the plungng big store
bookmaker who died the other day.
published a book of racing stories a
few years ago. He didn't write the stories
himself. and didn't profess to have writ
ten them. A well-known newspaper wom-
an did the actual writing. A publisher,
who gets out material of this sort, knew
that UIlman. who was an inimitable story
teller. had a great fund OF amusing turf
adventures on the tip Of his tongue, and
he knew equally we'll that Ullman was
very far from being anything resembling
a writist. no matter how noted a money
getter at race tracks he happened to be.
So the publisher sought the aid OF the
newspaper woman. and she got the stories
from Ullman and wrote them In language
that could be understood by folks not ia
miliar with the strange patois of the pad
dock. She had her difficulties understand
ing Ullman herself, and she told the writ
er hereof about those difficulties at the
time she was fixing up the book Of racing
stories.

 He then paid his respects to the
 men and women of America in all ages. The wonderful accomplish ments of the nation have been due
 both to the leadership of great men
 and to the hearty response of the people to that leadership. It has
 been so from the beginning and so remains. He mentioned the names of many of the great leaders in the various walks of life from the
 earliest days of national life to the present. presenting them in groups as brought forth by the different periods of national crises and ven- tured that never in the nations life
 were there better men in high places
 than today, or better men responsive to their leadership. Concluding, he
 said that never fin history was there a rising generation of more talented young men than those now entering upon life's duties, nor men better
 equipped for the performance of the
 worlds work. :. .. The Fireworks.
 From the city hall plaza the crowd in large part went to the court house plaza and the vicinity of q couple of blocks to witness the fireworks which were more spectacular than on
 any preceding celebration here, and were witnessed by the largest crowd
 that ever gathered here for that purpose. The Industrial Liberty
 band gave a concert from the Ford hotel balcony during the pyrotech- mic display. No attempt need be
 undertaken to describe the fireworks
 more than to say they were the best
 ever and filled the heavens with rainbow light. At the conclusion of
 this incident, hundreds took the cars
 for Eastlake park. to enjoy the fes- tivities there and see the fireworks
 provided by Manager s. H. Mitchell
