FOUR EXCITING RACES
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

| A crowd of a hundre or more low
ers of tie track-side sport went out
to the fair grounds yesterday after
noon to witness a race thai had been
matched between Thomas Boone's
roam I'M Johnnie Wilson'S sorrell,
both ponies being graduated COW pom
les. A purse of s25 had been put up
and the interest was stimulated
among the spectators by a little risk
and a hope of grain. The ace re-
suited in a close victory for wilson's
sorrell but the fact that the rider of
the O horse had fallen off the an
imal just before he passed under the
wire gave good reason for a demand
that a SECOND ace be run with new
riders. The race was pulled off and
again the Wilson sorrel came out
first.
BY this time the racing blood was
in the veins of every man present and
there wasn't a horse on the ground
that wasn't a horse race. Just to see
The sport, Gus Wis, better known as
slim" offered tle use of ais iron
grey COW pony and a race was match
ed between him and Jack Davis
brown pony. The gray was the win
ner in a close race.
Then Red Phillips unhitched a dun
pony from his blackboard. drew the
front shoes and padding from tender
feet and announced that he would run
anything in the crowd. Ernest Best
Thought he had a race horse in the
grsy-white that was hitchsd TO his
hack. The white was unattached and
saddles provided. The owner were
riders n the white finished three
lengths ahead.
The horsemen are looking forward
to races on Christmas day. Interest
reached a climax yesterday and IL is
predicted that there will be a record
breaking crowd out mex week.

were trustees of the church at that

June 20, 1909, an illegal meeting was

The Red Book Magazine.

It is not often that a magazines fic- tion can be said to be timely, but such appears to be the case in the Red Book Magazine for September. The leading story-and a splendidly exciting story it is-concerns a rich young Ameri- cans adventure of love in Morocco. If Spain's troops in that tempestuous spot were commanded by the hero of Henry Hyde's story AlphonsO would have less to worry about. The illus trations and decorations of the story are unusually spirited. In the same issue appears, charmingly presented, a bit of literature of a sort that is all too seldom printed in the magazines Reference is made to Miss Otillie Lil- jencrantz' Norsk tale "A Vikings Love" Indeed from every point of view the September Red Book Maga zine is one of the most engaging is sues of this delightful magazine we recall ever having read. Among oth- CT writers of stirring American fiction represented in the number by particu larly excellent stories are, Lucille Baldwin Van Slyke. Edward Hunger ford, Fannie Heaslip Lea, E. A. Whar ton, Demetra Brown and Frederick Taber Cooper The Photographic Art Studies are especially attractive.

The automobile properly used is a benefit to humanity It can be guid- ed more accurately and stopped more quickly than a horse. It never gets tired or angry. For both pleasure and business it is the greatest vehicle of the age. Abused, the automobile be- comes a fiend and a murderer. The responsibility for its long death-roll rests not upon the machine itself, but upon the owner or driver who puts into it his own spirit of mad reckless ness. In view of the fact that pru- dent men who use autos sanely are at the mercy of the maniacs, the New York World declares: "The simplest plan of preventing auto speeding is to permit no auto within the state, on track or road, which is constructed capable of exceeding the speed limit" This drastic remedy will not receive immediate and general indorsement, but if things go from bad to worse an imperative demand for its applica- tion may arise. In a final settlement of the problem the public welfare must be above all other considera- tions.

AERoPLANE AND AUTOMOBILE

AEROPLANE AND AUTOMOBILE
 It is brought to mind that flying is not such a dangerous sport after all. Throughout the whole of Avia- tion week at Rheims we believe there was not a single serious accident One day an aviator trying to show off before the president of France dam aged his machine slightly and on Saturday another aeroplane about to enter the course for the international aviation cup coIlided with a hay stack.
 A week or so earlier there was carnival of another kind of sport at Indianapolis in the course of which one fatal casualty a day was the average. Automobiles skidded, broke through fences. turned turtle and performed those stunts which they are always so likely to do.
 The Indianapolis automobile races were not greatly different from other automobile meets. Death or injuries are nearly always in attendance when machines in large number are brought together.
 We believe only one fatal aerOplane accident is on record. About a year aero a lieutenant oF the signal corDS passenger with one of the Wright brothers, was killed at Washington. A few weeks ago an ambitious but inexperienced aviator was badly hurt near New York.
 But taking it altogether, flying seems safer than automobiling.
