less hospitality awaits the Pilgrims,
whose previous visit was so emphatic
a success and stimulated so much in
terest in the association game that it
has increased 80 per cent since their
previous tour in this country. The ar
rangements for the tour include a
match with a selected American team
for the handsome Cochrane cup, given
by Sir Ernest c. Cochrane when the
Pilgrims were here in 1905 and which

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 21-While
the country is not as well provided
with Jockeys this year as usual, there
are sufficient riders, but few stars.
Probably Shilling is the premier, but
on account of wishing to get out of his
contract with r. L. Thomas, for whom
he rides, he went to Vancouver, Brit
ish Columbia, thinking himself out OF
reach. Mr. Thomas finally succeeded
in getting him back, and he has again
resumed riding. His services are much
sought after and John E. Madden Is
one of his patrons
V. Powers is probably next best, and
he is under contract to Barney Schrei-
Der, Tom Shaw having second call
Powers is in good demand all the time,

"The only way to pick a horse, just

Beauty doesn't count. You look him
square in the face, and if he has a
good-natured ear he's all right. If he
looks like a convict let him alone"
Some way you get to seeing the
scraggly horse or any other, when
Geers talks, just as you do the people
other men describe. Yet there is ab-

went on. "They have their family
