A Dangerous Rescue of IS Sheep.

Last Wednesday Green river
was fuller than it has been for
25 years according to some state
ments made by the oldest citi-
zens of this community. J. E..
Beard and Mont Harmon, two
farmers of the Eunice neighbor-
hood, had some sheep 18 in num-
Der, which were cut off from the
barn yard on account of the sud-
denness of the rise, and were
located on the highest point Just
on the bank of the river. They
were seen from the cliffs which
overlooks the bottoms and a
number of men were summoned
to attempt their rescue. It was
a hazadous undertaking but final

Coincident with the passing of
the Teddy bear, the Billie pos
sum came and is here to accom-
pany tn e T a # administration
through its varied perplexities
that are likely to arise along the
idoliZed path of a partisan leader
exaulted to the highest political
position in our country. TIL e
many who, at first, found pleas
ure in the grim visage of the
Teddy bear have tired of it's
presence and we may safely pre-
dict that the Billie 'Possum will
become nauseating before it's
stuffed appearance slips from the
public gaze. The Teddy bear
had it's origin in italy and not
through the daring adventures
of Teddy, the hunter, but it be-
came associated with his exploits
and the craze swept the country.
The Billie 'Possum follows by
reason of presenting President
Taft a live oposSum while in the
South. That act was seized as
the iniative for the craze, a foun-
dation for collecting money from
the stupidity of the gullible who
can associate political prominence
in a stuffed representation of the
small eyed, slick tailed night
prowling little animal so com.
mon in this country. The act
of giving Mr.. Taft an opossun
and in serving him with ar
opossum supper should have
passed as a pleasing incident ant
the general public given a rest
from a worthless craze. AL

SPEEDY RACES At
D0NGAN HILLS
BY. WALTER E. ERLER.

The six days meeting at the Dongan
Hills track was started yesterday.
Inc weather was all that could be de-
sired for the sport, but the track was
in q poor condition, which accounts for
the slow time. The trotters did fairly
well in h deep going, but the PAGERS
couldn't seem to navigate at all. The
days racing was somewhat of a dis
appointment to local horsemen. two
local horses starting and both being be-
hind the money in the 2:35 trot. The
pace was Just a little too strong for
Best Brantford; he drew the pole going
away, but was no match for the hand
some gray gelding, Peter B., who won
the event in straight heats, with the
big chestnut gelding Bori Wilkes, well
driven by Jack Phillips, the Pride of
Parkway, finishing second, close up in
each heat. Billy Coville started the bay
gelding Red Lawn, owned by Chandler
Brothers, of his city, in the 2:15 pace,
but the local horse didn't take kindly
to the cuppy footing, and, like Bert
Brantford, finished behind the money.
Eddie .Hollenbeck won this ace with
the black gelding Bell Vora Boy, with.
out extending the horse, the Pride Of
Parkway finishing second, third and
second for second money, with Borelli,
a bay PAGER. who doesn't wear a boot
of n kind, or hopples, simply a set of
harness and a snaffle bit. Today's rae
ing program includes the 2:19 trot, 2.3l
pace n a running race. The local mare
Florence G.. will start in the 2:19 trot
and Mary s., owned by Adolph Schluer,
a daughter of the pony PAGER, Bonanza,

MANY WITNESS
AUTO RACES

SPRING LAKE, Sept. 7.-Automo-
bile enthusiasts to the number of sew
eral thousand gathered on the beach
road here yesterday afternoon to wit
ness the races arranged by the local as
ISOLATION. There were thirteen contests
and the contestants were confined al
most entirely to local residents and
summer visitors. The affair was a
social as we'll as a sporting one. and
the grandstand erected in front of the
Monmouth Hotel, as well as a row of
boxes, were filled.
The feature of the day was h work
of Washington A. Roebling's special
l40-horsepower car, which he had built
for his own use. This car started In
two races, the first a one-kilometer
event, with flying start against time,
and the other a one-mile race with
flying start against time. Mr.. Roeh-
ling drove the car in both, and landed
first place in both. In the kiiometer
dash he made the distance In 30 1-5
seconds, or at the rate of 4S seconds
for a mile, a remarkable record.
In two. of the contests there, were
women drivers. one being the legal
speed limit race, and the h a potato
race. The starters were Mrs. William

both of Philadelphia.

noon was pronounced to be the best
ever held there. The track was in fine
condition and the delightful weather
brought out a crowd of over 1000.
The card furnished representatives
from the leading stables in this part
of the country, and there were several
close and exciting brushes.
Particularly close was the finish be-

third heat of the first race, and Little

heat of the second race.
For the third race, in the first heat
Admorell, driven by Woodruff, fell on

but none of the horses or drivers were
hurt.

other Horse Notes.

Though harness horse racing has been
universally popular for upward of half
a century the increasing popularity of
this form of outdoor sport, as shown at
nearly every track in the land this sea-
son, is most gratifying to the overs n
breeders of light harness horses n
the promoters of trotting sport. Not
only have purely trotting meetings been
almost universally we'll attended this
season, but the combination fair n
race meetings as a rule have expert
enced record-breaking attendance and,
as is plain to every close observer, the
harness racing is by all odds the great
drawing feature of these combination
meetings. The writer attended the
county fair and harne racing meeting
at Troy, N. Y, two weeks ago and a
this drawing feature of the racing pro-
gram so plainly demonstrated to him
that literally he who runs may read"
At this meeting, as Is the case with all
such meetings, the county fair features,
including the exhibition of all kinds of
live stock, agricultural products. etc.,
were on during the forenoons, while
the harness racing feature vas the
sole attraction during the afternoon.
Each afternoon the attendance was well
nigh double that of the forenoon on the
same day. AT no other place can the
real situation in trotting horse affairs
be SO correctly diagnosed as at these
county, district and State fair meet
irgs, though the same trend of affairs
is witnessed at most every public oc-
casion at which the harness race horses
are a part and parcel Of the entertain
ment, and so far as we know not a hu-
mar life has this year been forfeited on
account of trotting turf sport.
Billy Syron was fined $50 and suspend
ed for thirty days for pulling The Sui
tan in his race at Olympic Park on
Labor Day. While this seems like
strenuous treatment, it is only just and
right. and were this kind of Justice
melted out oftener there are a lot of
drivers VINO wouldn't take such a holt
on the cables.
Doc Bodenweiser threw a surprise
into the natives when he gave the bay
trotting gelding, Little Ned, a record
of 2.22H, and the horse acts like this
scratch wouldn't hold him q great
while.
