TWO OTHER RAINS
Rainfall During the Week Was
2::44 Inches The wheat
Crop is Much
Improved.

The rainy season, which was some
what overdue, has made its appear
ance here. The rainfall measure.
ment taken by the government wealth
er station at Dodge City for the pres
ent month is 2.51 inches. During
the past week there was 2.44 inches
Of rainfall. The hardest shower at
Dodge City came on Monday, when
there was fall Of 1.2l inches. On
Sunday there was fall Of .58, and
on the preceding Thursday there was
go OF an inch.
From reports received here from
over the county, up to the time that
the rains began, there was about half
the county where the wheat did not
seem to be suffering for moisture,
and was 10 good condition to be
pushed rapidly by the recent rains.
In few places it was reported that
the wheat was actually damaged, but
with the moisture now, these fields
may come out better than was ex-
pected. The probability is that there
will be plenty Of moisture from now
on, while the wheat is filing, and,
with the certainty now that there will,
be good average crop Of wheat in
Ford county. most everybody is feel
ing good.

The above table really tells the story
of the development of athletic sports.
At first it was all England. Then
America came along for a piece of the
honors and finally we have ltaly's
name on the list
Now there has been a lot of doubt
cast on Lunghi's time because of the
fact that Frank Riley ran so close to
him, and three days later at TraVers
island could not better 1;5S in a race
with Mel Sheppard and Harry Gissing.
On his Montreal race Riley should have
cantered in ahead of Sheppard and
Gissing but, on the contrary, they
beat him handily. Those who dtsbe-
lieve Lunghi's record argue that the
very fact of Riley's finishing within
five yards of the Italian under these
circumstances proves that there was
something "phoney' about the race.
1t is very easy to meet this line OF
talk. When Fitzpatrick made his rec
ord Horan, the London A. G. first
string man. ran second, doing the dis
tance in 1855 AS. Previous to that oc-
casion Horan had never bettered 1858,
nor did he afterward. When Elbor-
ough did 1:57h in 1876 the second and
third and fourth men all beat 1:59.
Again when Lon Myers ran his l;56 in
1881 the runners who ran second and
third to him both came home with
fraction of 1858. Neither had previous
ly done as good as two minutes.
Riley was pulled out by Lunghi and
that accounts tor the wonderful race
he ran.

LUNGHi'S HALF-MILE
RECORD DISCUSSED
Remarkable Race of italian Is Latest
Athletic Nine Days Wonder.
Previous Performance
at Distance

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Interest in the
record half mile performance of Emilio
Lunghi, the Italian wonder, seems to
keep up despite the fact that it was
done some time ago. Recently it was
announced that c. H. Fitzpatrick, tho
former holder of the record, had writ
ten Lunghi a letter of congratulation
on the Italians great feat Anyone
who has held a record for years and
had it shorn from him, even as he
had begun to think it invincible,
can readily realize what fine bit OF
sportsmanship xii" has sprung.
Going back to the former record
holders it Is a bit interesting to note
by whom this same half mile mark
has been held in times gone by. The
