WERE RIGHT
BODY OF MAN TRACED TO THE
RIVER WAS FOUND IN THE
WATER TO-DAY. :

Mr.. ]. A. Lands received message
from Dunbar, Pa. this morning that
the body of George w. Greenwood had
been found this morning about ten
miles below that place in the river by
a watchman. Greenwood left his home
several days ago. His mind was un.
balanced and it was thought that he
had wandered to the reservoir and
had fallen in and drowned or that he
had fallen into the. river. The Landes.
Harris bloodhounds worked on this
case. King Ed. and Bess traced the
steps of the old man to the river. The
other dogs worked their way to the
reservoir. The river and the reser.
voir were searched but nothing could
be found. Landes and Harris were at
Dunbar four days. King Ed and Bess
cannot be fooled.

Following the stockholders meeting
the directors effected an organization
by electing L. G. Race, president; VIII
liam NJ. Laws, vice pesident; Harry F.
Smith, secretary and treasurer.
The report of the work done during
the year was very encouraging. There
remains some work yet to be done but
this will not give the officers the con-
cern that the work finished thus far
has. The difficult part is passed and
what remains 10 be done is small in
comparison to the obstacles surmOunt-
ed and overcome by the indomftablc
will OF the men behind the project.
Mr.. Race, the new president, is rec.
ogniZed as one of the best business
men in the city He has been very
active in working out plans and aid

Yesterday Secretary Scott began to
send to the bill posters of the various

AS the time grows near for the
meeting, the Secretary's office is re.
ceivtnS numerous applications for in.
formation regarding the meeting and
every indication is for great sue
cess. Spring racing is new in this sec.
tion and 1t will prove exceedingly pap.
ular with hOrsemen for it gives them
chance TO get in action sooner and
win enough money to pay feed bills
that heretofore were dead losses.
Every Indication is that the track
which was the fastest in the State
last yeat will maintain this distiuc.
tion. So well was the oval construct
ed by Contractor Jase Sexton that the
heavy rains of the winter and spring
had no effect upon 1t and today 1t is
ready for racing.
While the chief Improvement plan.

fall meeting. still number Of things

place more attractive. The most i'm
portant is the completion OF the Fair

week makes this an assured fact tor
much work was done on the exten

completed will be modern In every re

official Of the Association will go tc
