Monaires Marathon Revives G1oes Of Old Coaching Days


the wife of George Westinghouse. jr.. of
New York and Pittshurg. and one of the
coaches which she has entered Is the one
in which she drove her sister and her new
hrot other-in-law to and from church on
the day of the wedding.
An effort is being made to induce c.
S. Ward & Sons to enter the famous
old Times coach, on which the late
Jim Seby made his record run from
London to Brighton and back in seven
hours and fiftysix minutes. Many coach
ing enthusiasts have tried To beat this rec
ord. but no one has ever succeeded IN
eguaing It, The famous old coach has
been off the road for many years, and
it will probably require good deal of
repairing before it is At to take part in
the Marathon race. If its present own
ers are induced to enter 1t, 1t is likely
that Walter Golden. who was Jim Seby's
guard and who was in charge the
memorable Brighton run. will be induced
to emerge from his retirement and sound
the horn again on the road between
Hampton Court and London. Walter God
den was Mr.. Vanderbilt's guard on the
Brighton road last year but this year
his increasing age and infirmities COM
PEELED him to retire. He has often de-
clared. however. that only death could
prevent him from taking charge OF the
.Old Times if there ever were chance
again.
No such cOaCnlnS spectacle dS Will be
provided by this race has been seen in
the world since the day of Jim Selbys
funeral in 1855. Selby was the last link
with the old-tme coaches which held
possession of the roads Of England In the

funeral every coach on the roads turned

stead cemetery. and the thirty guards
blew A farewell salute on their horns
over his grave. After that the decline
of coaching even sport. was rapid,
and it had practically died out when it
Was revived by Mr.. Vanderbilt last year.
Walter Golden is probably the last liv-
ing link with the old coaching times, The
old man still loves to talk of the days
before England was spoiled. IS he thinks:

all, to talk OF his old master. Jim Seloy,

A STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Co sumption.

The post norton stat sites OF the
big New York hospitals show that some
cases of consumption are due to un-
checked dyspepsia, especially when the
victim was predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened. irritable stomach
is unable to digest food, the body does
not receive the required nourishment,
constipation ensues and the victim be-
comes thin, weak and haggard Az n re-
suit the body becomes fertile field for
the germs of disease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore. the person who permits dys-
pepsia to progress unhindered is guilty
OF contributing toward the development
of one of the IN ost insidious and fatal
diseases known to mankind.
Dyspepsia is curabeif properly treated.
w. W. Parker, druggist, sells remedy
which he positively guarantees will cure
indigestion or dyspepsia or they will
pay for all the medicine used during the
trial. This remedy is an absolutely new
medical discovery and has been named
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no
offer could be more fair, and the offer OF
Mr.. W. W. Parker is proof positive that
Rexall Dyspepsi Tablets are dependa-
BILE and infallible remedy. Inasmuch as
the medicine will cost you nothing If it
don't benefit you, we urge you who are
suffering with indigestion or dyspepsia
to try this remedy A twenty-five cent
box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets contains
enough medicine for fifteen days treat
