ALLEN WINTER
GETS BIG STAKE
New System Of Handieapping Horses
Tried in Big Derby at Read
vile, Mass, Great Success.

Readyille, Mass, Aug. 26-The
well-earned victory won by NJ. H.
Reardon's Indianapolis stallion, Allen
Winter, at the Readville track yes
terday, thereby capturing the largest
share of the $4,000 American trot-
ting handicap from field of 33 start
ers, it is believed by many of the 90
600 followers of harness racing who
saw the contest, will establish a new
era In the history of the sport and
insure its regeneration in this country.
The race was novel in its condi-
tons, which placed the horses at
marks from one quarter to three
quarters of mile behind the usual
starting point, on handicaps based on
their previous performances, and at
the conclusion it appeared to be the
genera, opinion of all who saw the
two preliminary heats and the grand
finale, that this system of racing will
be popular in the future.

last evening officers for. the coming
year were elected as follows:
President-A. D. Sperry.
Vice Presidential Henry.
Secretary-E. c. Eberhart.
Treasurer-Ben Koch.
Several new names were added to
the roster, bringing the membership
up to considerably over the hundred
mark.
The question of handicapping con-
testants in prize shoots was discussed
at length. Three or four members un.
der the old plan have been taking
practically all the prizes and the young
er and less skillful members were
therefore becoming discouraged. II
was finally agreed that hereafter a dis
|tance handicap ranging from 16 to 81
yards will be used in contesting for
prizes. The change was opposed on
the ground that a marksman, after be
ing handicapped, is untitled for time
for work at the regular distance.

While the convention was waiting
for the platform addresses were made
by the men who had been elected del
egates at large.
The platform was then read by Mr..
Mum and adopted by a rising vote.
It follows:
Declaration Of Principles.
Resolved, BY the Republicans of
Minnesota, in state convention assem-
bled:
"First-We heartily commend the
splendid administration of President
Roosevelt and especially his efforts
for the establishment of sound finan-
cial system; the enforcement of the
laws and proper regulation of corpora
lions; for free competition in bust
ness; for the protection Of property
rights; for the stability of government
and for the maintenance of the high
est standard of business integrity and
civic duty
"second-The people of Minnesota
are especially interested in the de-
velopment of the great waterways of
the country, which are the natural
avenues for cheap transportation,
especially for agricultural products.
We therefore earnestly recommend
the improvement Of the Mississippi
river, the further betterment of the
harbors on Lake Superior and the ex-
tension and development Of the ca
mails to the end that these great nat
ural highways may be adequate for
the commerce of the nation.
"Third-We reaffirm the principles
of protection of American labor and
industries, but we believe the time
has come when there should be a re-
vision Of the tariff schedules by Re-
publican congress. e--
'Fourth-HOn. William H. Taft is
the choice of large majority of the
Republicans of Minnesota and of the
United States as the Republican NOM
inee for president; he is a man OF
great learning and ability, wide ex-
perience as statesman and best
qualified to carry on the work inau-
gurated by President Roosevelt. We
therefore instruct our delegates in
the national convention to use all hon
orable means to secure his nomina-
ton for president of the United
States and to vote for him as such
nominee until selected by the conven-
ton

ENDS IN GREAT CONFUSION
New York Democratic Convention a
Turbulent Affair.

New York, April 17.-Amid scenes
of turbulence and great confusion the
state Democratic convention ad-
journed half an hour after midnight.
After a bitter contest the convention
unseated Patrick H. McCarren and
the delegates from ten districts OF
Kings county, seated the McCabe del
egates from Albany county, elected
four delegates at large and alternates
to the national convention and dele
gates from the various congressional
districts, chose the presidential cleo
tors and elected a new state commit
tee. The delegates to Denver are I'M
Instructed.
The scenes of disorder which devel-
oped from the rejection of the McCar-
rem delegates were increased when a
resolution was Unexpectedly sprung
under which the members of the new
state committee were chosen by the
convention as a whole instead OF each
district electing it's own members.
This resolution was read amid SO
great a hubbub that many Of the dele
gates declared afterward that they did
not hear it or know what 1t was about
At the close of a roll call 1t was de-
clared adopted by vote Of 2s4 to 1913.
