rAE cay OF The DREAMER.

TIE CRY OF THE DREAMER.
n AM tired Of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives OF men,
Il Heart weary OF building and spelling.
II And spelling and building again,
And long for the dear old river
Where / dreamed my youth away,
For O dreamer lives forever.
And q toiler dies In day.
I am sick of the snowy seeming
OF a life that is half lie,
OF the faces lined with schenning
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts enoeaVor
I would go where the children play,
For dreamer lives forever.
And a thinker dies in day.
I can feel no pride. but pity
For the burdens the rich endure
There Is nothing sweet In the city
But the patient lives Of the poor.
oh. the little hands too skillful
And the child mind grown with weeds
The daughters heart grown willfuh
And the fathers heart that bleedsl
No. mol From the stree1s rude hustle.
From trophies of mart and stage,
T would iy to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as Of yore by the river
And be loved for the dream Away
For dreamer lives forever
And a thinker dies in day.

FACE PECULIAR PROBLEM
RACE MANAGERS OF CANADA
IN QUANDARY.

NEW YORK. July 25.-Those with the
best interest of racing at heart In Canada
are facing peculiar turf problem, and a
dangerous one for the sport. They have
been invaded by the poolroom interests
in no uncertain fashion, and before the
season is over the reform element
across the border may have material
enough to start a strong agitation against
racing as whole.
The regular circuit managers, which in
clude the carefully conducted tracks at
Toronto. Hamilton, Montreal and High
land Park, have agreed not to extend their
dates even in view OF the fact that horses
in plenty could be had from the abandon
ed Latonia meeting and the curtailed rae
ing in New York state. 1t was felt that
the best interests of racing demanded that
the meeting be more carefully conducted
than ever. hence the decision to run off
merely the regular meets.
But the poolroom interests are planning
long campaign at both Fort Erie and
Windsor, at the latter place over a track
now in course of construction. On July
"a meetings will begin in both places. Fort
Erie's will last until September / at least
and the Windsor session probably as
long. 1t will be news to many that there

sides the one owned and controlled by the
Highland Park Club, but Joseph James,
who raced for years at Fort Erie, and Is
one of the biggest pooiroom men in Can
ada. is the promoter Of the new track E.
D. Laurence, well known In Buffalo, has
been engaged as secretary.
There Is no question about getting
horses" said Mr.. Laurence. There are
100 now at Latonia for which stabling
room cannot be had at active courses,
and there Is no chance for Fort Erie;
which follows Windsor, to care for a
great many Of the horses now here We
will have stabling room for a large num-
Der of horses and they will be glad to
race at the new track. 1t will be legiti-
mate meeting, with an open betting ring.
There is no outlawry tinge to the affair,
because the horses that race with us can
race at any other track. The course will
be ready beyond question on the day that
has been named, July 81
The track as planned is something Of a
novelty. 1t has a haE-mile ring, with
three long stretches. Then there are two
chutes, forming a sort of double kite, for
straightaway and races of longer dis
tances than the half mile. The old stand
Is being rebuilt for this meeting but If 1t
is successful will give away to new
one. Contracts have been let for the
and other necessities. Mr.. Laurence said
that he will have James Milton, assistant
with Cassidy for a number of years, as
starter. and that he will be in the Judge S
stand. Mr.. James has a regular ontario
charter for his organization. which will
operate under the name of the Essex Rae
ing Club,
