LATONIA MAY CLOSE.
Racing Declared to Be No Longer
Profitable.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI. Ohio, July 17-With the
twenty-seventh spring meeting OF the La
tonsa Jockey Club at an end. it is a ques-
tion whether the gates will ever open
again. Many think 1t is sure thing that
a fall meeting will be held. but President
Harvey Myers expressed himself as being
opposed to holding any more racing, as it
has ceased to be profitable for the Latonia
Stock and Agricultural Association.
The last season was one of thirty-six
days. and the Latonia club claims to
have suffered a loss in that period. The
last six days showed a profit chiefly be-
cause the average daily money hung UP
was 1850. while the average for the first
thirty days was $500. One thousand dol
lars day makes a pretty good sum
when 1t Is multiplied sufficiently, and If
the entire meeting had been run cheaply
the treasurers report would show a fat
balance on the right side.
The controlling interest at Latonia is
not made up of bunch Of philanthro-
plsts. and halt may be called on the
losing game. Why this state of affairs
exists, why Cincinnati formerly supported
now. has been told. The public did not
turn out as 1t did four or five years ago,
and those who did attend were shy of the
coin OF the realm, and the betting end OF
the game fell of.
The meeting was one that operated by
injunction. as betting through bookmak-
ing was not allowed by the racing COM
mission. The case Is In the hands of the
court OF appeals and September q has
been set as the day for oral arguments In
verse to Latonia, 1t would only furnish
stronger argument for abandoning the
track, for the paris mutuels have been
tried and found wanting.

Why Ex-Collegians "Fall Flat"

SpeCIdI
NEW YORK, July 17-That college
runners often do well In collegiate meets
especially in the intercollegiate champion
ships. and then fall fiat when they COM
pete for a club when out OF college has
been quite evident. The other day Jim
McIptee, track captain Of the Irish Amer
lean A. c.. said that when the athletes
are in college they are under close OBJ
servation and when they become free
lances, as II were. they disregard the
training schedule and that results In their
poor showing. That reason just about
strikes the hammer on the head.
OF course. there are instances where
athletes have done well. both in and out
of college. as the late j. B. Taylor the

Echo Of tho World Cruise.

That the construction and repair work
on the great battle fleet that circumnavi-
gated the globe last year cost less than
if the fleet had stayed at home is the
Judgment Of offlcials In the Navy De-
partment. The bureau of steam en-
gineering and equipment has just COM
p.eted survey made on the Connecticut
and Nebraska, which shows the repairs
made during the trip around the world.
1t is asserted that the cost to the govern
ment was less than II would have been
had the vessels remained In home waters.
This. 1t Is stated. results from the fact
that work was done by the force on the
vessels that would ordinarily have been
done at navy yards, where additional ex
pense would have been Incurred. So it is
said that aside from the cost of coal and
equipment the trip around the world in
yolyed practically no additional expense

up lightning rods? Because its man
ayers know why and how rods pro-
tect, and that they cost a good deal
less than fire.
No mar who is at all bright or post
ed can find q single objection to good
copper rods, but everything in their
favor, and every a why he should
put them on his buildings. Don't try
to save money in this work, however,
by buying cheap rods or doing bust
ness with a cheap, irresponsible firm,
but insist on having copper rods put
up right. You can easily get them,
for there are responsible manufactur-
turers. 1t is better by far to become
the master of lightning than its SER
want. 1t is not pleasant during an
awful thunderstorm to look out of the
window at every sharp fash of light
ming to see if your barn has been
struck. Neither is it pleasing to be
awakened in the middle of the night
by the glare of your burning barn.

city have been fortunate enough to
secure the agency for the "Shinn Sys-
tenn of Lightning Protection. This
includes a Telephone Lightning Ar
roster, which is patented and cannot
be used by other concerns. About

"Shinn System" and not one loss re-

DOING ITS WORK

Editorial from Wisconsin Agriculturist)
We have been astonished at the
number of barns that have been struck
by lightning in Wisconsin already
this spring and burned to the ground.
In some cases reported the loss has
been heavy, as much grain, tools, hay
and live stock has been destroyed.
We cannot understand why any
farmer will allow an expensive barn,
house or other building to stand un-
protected when he a be absolutely
certain that his buildings will not be
struck and at small cost compared
with the value of the property ex-
posed.
OF course most farmers insure
against fire and have some protection,
but it is never adequate, nor any
where near enough to fully compen-
safe one for the loss and great incon-
yenience resulting from a fire. We
feel that most farmers now understand
that the right kind of lightning rods
properly put up are a protection, but
that they are simply careless and neg
ligent in the matter and do not get
about it.
Our advice is to get busy in this
matter. Do not put it off until too
late. Have some reliable manufac-
turer properly rod your buildings,
then you can sleep nights. Write to
some good concern and get their free
literature and study up on the ques-
tion, learn why rods are a protection,
why lightning does not strike build
ings with them on, what it will cost,
and all about it.
Do you know that years ago the
public buildings in the capitol of our
country were not protected, and they
were frequently struck by lightning,
being so large and high, but that
since they have been rodded. there is
no case on record of one of them hav-
ing been struck? All of the public
buildings and high towers of foreign
countries are protected by lightning

INTENSE INTEREST SHOWN.

Several Of the Unfortunate but Eager
spectators Had Never Seen q City.
Result Of the Contribution Of q epe-
oial Fund to Buy a Machine.
One Of the most marvellous expert
ences in the history of the Molokai
leper settlement came to the people of
that shut-in isolation a short time ago
when a moving picture machine was
installed in Beretania hall, their pub
lie place Of assemblage, for their enter
tainment.
1t was not merely that they saw
moving pictures for the first time, but
for the first time, to a very great mum
Der Of them. it was their first glimpse
into the world beyond the narrow con-
fines Of the settlement. Very many of
them had never seen a city until they
saw those projected on the moving pic
ture screen. Elephants, camels, bears,
lions and the other animals of the cir
Gus or the zoo were presented to them
for the first time. Fire engines, police
patrols. moving troops. the Thousand
and n commonplaces Of the picture
machine, came to them not only with
the force Of novelty, but with the ef-
feet Of something unheard Of and un-
dreamed of before. s
Some months ago at the suggestion
of Superintendent McVeigh Of the set-
Element a movement was started to
procure q moving picture machine to
be sent to the settlement for the enter
tainment Of the people there: A fund
was contributed, the machine and q
supply Of films were bought, and R. K.
Bonnie, who has travelled the world
over securing strange scenes for NOV
ing picture exhibitions, volunteered to
70 over and install the machine. This
he did, and the greatest interest In
the matter was felt at the settlement.
Every operation Of the process Of in
stalling the apparatus was watched by
nearly the whole population, and when
finally the first exhibition vas given
wonder and excitement knew no
bounds.
In addition to the films that have
been provided by the donors for the
settlement, Mr.. BONNIE took a large
number Of his own films to exhibit
there for the entertainment Of the peo-
pie. So intensely interested were they
that no amount Of repetition Of the pic
lures seemed to tire them. At their
earnest invitation MI. Bonnie decided
to remain another week at the settle

It Is expected that funds for new
