THE FOUNDER.

This is short tale about floun-
der, but 1t has a big moral. A foun-
der is funny fish. He Is fiat, and he
is brown on one side. This Is how
it happened: When the founder was
a little founder he was just the same
color as any other little fish, and he
had one eye on each eide of his nose.
But he had very lazy disposition,
and instead of swimming round in a
school like the other little fishes, he
lay in bed in the mud long after
breakfast time. He always lay on
the same side, until bye and bye the
eye that was on the down side found
1t didn't have anything but mud to
look at, and 1t said: "This is stupid,
looking at mud. I'm not going to
stay here any more. I'm going to
find il 1 can't find something more
interesting to look at than Just mud. +"
And SO it moved little bit nearer
the founders nose, and 1t moved
little bit nearer still, and then 1t
began to see little light. So 1t
moved and it moved till 1t moved
over his nose and right around on the
other side of his face. And then he
had two eyes on the same side. All
this time the skin of the founders
down side got paler because it was
always in the dark, and the skin of
the founders up side got browner
and browner till 1t looked Just like
the mud, SO that no hungry fishes no.
ticed the little founder and he had
a chance to grow big and strong.
But because he had spent so much
of his time in bed he forgot how to
swim about very well, and could only
just shove along the bottom Of the
ocean.
And the moral of this is not that
IL you stay in bed and are lazy your
eyes will both come on the same side
of your face and you'll get brown on
one side and white on the other, but
that if you don't do the things you
can do because you don't want to,
after a while when you do want to
you won't be able to do them at all.

Nine Horses to Be Gotten Ready
for Campaign Down Big
Line.
BY WALTER ]. SNYDER.

Probably as good a stable of horses
as ever represented his State in the
grand circuit will be the one that
Trainer John Packer shipped to the
P%oughkeepsie track a short time ago
where they will be prepared for the
campaign down the big Line"
Nine horses were in the a when it
en- the Hudson. These valuable steeds
are the property of ABE" Terwilliger
and John H. Alderman, of Paterson,
who owned those two good. consistent
grand circuit winners, Fanny p, 2:09A.
and Sarah Hamlin, 2:11A, last season.
When they sold these mares for export
to Europe last fall. it was the belief
that the Patersonians were about to
quit the racing of horses. but, on the
contrary, they have gone into 1t deeper
than ever.
Jose Mack, 2:1SA, by. Conquest
Star, one of the recent purchases,
demonstrated last fall that a mile bet
ter than 2.10 was within the limit of her
speed. Mr.. Alderman purchased this
mare from Bud Murray, of Chester.
N. Y. from whom he had previously
- -
bought Fanny p.
Probably the next best in the stable,
IL. indeed, not the best, is Helen Turner,
by Conquest Star. This handsome six
teen-hand trotter has not had the same
amount of work as Josie, but with the
little she has, has showed more natural
speed than any trotter Mr.. Packer has
ever handled. An eighth of a mile in

of her speed. Not alone with speed is
this mare possessed, but manners, tenn
permanent and disposition, which are es-
sential in a race horse of the grand
circuit calibre.
For the slow pacing stakes, the stable
has John Hall, a fun brother to the fast
record t%rotter, Kid Shea, 2.07A, that was
raced by Mr.. Alderman for several
years.
Helen Turner and Josie Mack are
entered in all the large stakes In he
circuit, including the $4,000 handicap at
ReadviIle.
Francis Bell, by Athol dull brother to
worlds champion 2-year-old trotter
Arion), dam by Electioneer and Quad
amin, by Elyria, dam Eloise, PIP, Ken
lucky Prince, are two more green trot-
tiers that show evidence of race horse
qualities. These. however, have not had
sufficient work to rank with the others
mentioned.
Not since the time when Bullmont,
2:09A, was taking down first money
and establishing track records on the
minor circuits has S. Y. Demarest, of
Paterson, been represented in the rae
ing world with as strong a stable OF
horses as he will campaign this year,

lie asked Manager Stallings last Fri
DAY for a chance to pitch and then
again Saturday he repeated his re-

McIlyeen is a pitcher and has always

Then he took to outield work and for
a time forgot twirling. But he has
everything in the pitching line, coupled
with control, and what more can a man
want?
He wants to do everything for his
team and that's why he will try pitch
ing. He will add strength to the pitch
ing staff as a batter, and II he wins this
afternoons game he will no doubt ask
to be regularly placed in the %outfield,
except OIL the days when his services
in the box are needed.
1t is because of the noble treatment
accorded him, and every man on the
team, by Manager Stallings. that has
aroused Spikes ambition to go back
to the twirling game again. Here is
hoping that he will hang up his first
pitchers victory in the Eastern League.
