CUMBERLAND FARMERS CLUB.
Exhibition a Very Successful One
Big Attendance Wednesday.

Cumberland, Me, Sept. 23.--(SpeciaD.
The exhibition of the Cumberland
Farmers Club is proving as successful
proportionately as the many other ex-
hibitionsthat have been held all over
Maine this season. Wednesdays at
tendance broke all records, proba bly,
5000 people being on the grounds
which is large. considering that it is
IN reality hardly more than town
fair, drawing from only small sec
ton of Cumberland county. AS the
fair grounds are at least four miles
from either steam or electric roads,
and sub-transportation to make con-
nections is not of the highest order,
big attendance could hardly be expect
ed. In spite of the terrible dust,
which penetrated everything, every
body seemed to be enjoying the &C.
casion to the limit, pink lemonade and
popcorn holding it's usual prominent
place in the fun.
The exhibits were very creditable.

quality and a hall show that rivals

similar kind.

has fine herd of Ayrshires. DR. H. M.
Moulton of the same town, his splen-
did Jerseys. white Holsteins and Here
fords are present in good numbers, and
of superior quality.
In the poultry building some of the
features are the various breeds enter

fine Barred Rocks from West Fall
mouth, W. NJ. Ross White Leghorns
from North Yarmouth and the Black
Langshans entered by F. P. Richards
OF South Portland. There are plenty of
other good birds of many breeds.
The hall show consisted of the usual
variety of exhibits, perhaps the best
feature being the fine array of vegeta-
hles Dexter Burnell of the home town
had a Canada squash as big over as
the end of a hogshead, which weighed
240 pounds. and another of $50 pounds,
besides a big display of farm produce

shown. while the ladies' handiWork IN

games there seemed to be nothing
lacking to make the fair go on record

soon press hard for honorS now held by

Bates Track Squad
Begins Fall Work.

Lewiston. Sept 23.-(SpeciaD.- 1.-The
arrival of the new track coach. Edward
O'Connor of Worcester, was the signal
for the beginning of track work for
Bates for this season. About 25 Fresh
men were out the first night and to-
day that number was increased.
The work thus far has been wholly
preliminary and for the next three
weeks the coaches will pay attention
only to form. Captain Williams Is as
sisting the coach and he is practicing
the new men on starts and short
sprints.
The following men showed up well
this afternoon: Turner. Dexter,
Blanchard. Thurlow, Bennett. Clemet,
Vaughn. Stanhope, Knights, Davis,
Delano Cash, Merrill. Nevens, Brun-
auist. Bartlett, Currier, Pike. T. Allen,
Vance. Concklin and Mckinney.
There is much weight and dash ma
terial out class seems weak in ex-
perienced distance men. The coach,
however, hopes to work up few good
men, and perhaps in time this weak
ness may be strengthened.
The Varsity men from last years
team and the other upper class track
men will come out the last OF this
week. Only Ave men were lost from
the team but among these were three
"B" men. Capt. Frasier, SchumacheT
and French This has made Dig

in which Bates has always been so

to come out from the entering class.

gin and the 1912 are anxious to keep

RacksIidina of the NEGRO.

There has been since that time upon
the part of the negroes a drawing
away from the white mans standards
and association and consequent re-
currence to their own racial traits
Although under slavery they had
no teachers to teach them letters,
they had the best of teachers to teach
them conduct. These teachers were
white men and women intimately in
terested in their physical and moral
welfare. Now they have teachers who
are black men. More and more every
year the negro's life-moral, intellect
ual, and industrial-is isolated from
the white mans life, and therefore
from his influence. There was kind
Iier and more confidential reigtiS1S-'
ship between the races when my IA
Their was boy than when I was, a
kindlier and more confidential rela-
tionship when 1 was a boy than be
tween my children and the present
generation Of negroes. Just in pro-
portion as the white man has with
drawn from the negro and the negro
has withdrawn from the white man.
the negro has reverted to the black
mans racial traits and tendencies,
has shed the veneering which has
been placed upon him, has become
more and more himself and less and
less the reflection of his white neigh
Dor. This view is reinforced by the
fact that nearly all the unspaakable
negro crimes are committed by negro
Migrants and tramps who are brought
into no sort of relationship with the
white mans life.-John Sharp Will

FARNUM DIVORCE.
Actors Separate in Consequence of
Gould Scandal.

New York, Aug. Mrs. Alice
tombstone Farnum has been granted
an interlocutory decree of divorce
from Dustin L. Farnum, the actor, who
was named by Howard Gould in his
suit against his wife, the former
actress, Katherine Clemmons.
The suit was started in April and
the evidence was taken by Referee E.
Linn Bruce. The greatest secrecy
was observed, the middle names of the
principals being used. The name of
the woman in the case was not made
public.
Shortly after instituting the suit
Mrs Farnum denied she had started
the action because her actor husband
had been named by Howard Gould in
his suit against his wife.
Mr.. Farnum also repudiated the ac-
cusations of Mr. Gould and insisted
that he enjoyed only casual &C
quaintance with the millionaire
wife and had never been guilty of i'm
proper conduct as charged
| Friends of the Farnums now wonder
if Mrs. Farnum will bring a separate
suit for counsel fees and alimony.
The original petition asked only for
absolute divorce, but friends of the
wife insisted that she would later
make a second demand.
Before her marriage Mrs. Farnum
was Miss Alice tombstone. She was
married in 1896, and several years ago
retired from the stage.
Dustin Farnum has been living in
the Hotel York. He also spends
much time at the Players Club and is
fond of automobiling. He appeared
for several seasons as the star in
1.-THE Virginian," and enjoyed some
success in 1.-THE Rector's Garden"
Mrs. Farnum has been living in
apartments at the Hotel Somerset,
$50 West Forty-seventh street. She
