Denaturad Aleohol.

The manufacture OF denatured alco-
hol Is engrossing the attention Of
farmers everywhere in the United

OF the recent fight on the rules Mr..
Dwight did yeoman service in corralling
members of his party, and he is expected
to fill most acceptably the shoes of for
mer Representative Watson of Indiana
who was defeated for governor of his
state last fall.
Mr.. Dwight has been in Congress eight
years 0nd has more qualifications to be
a successful whip than are often found
combined in a single person.
He is the son OF the late jeremiah w.
Dwight, long a member of Congress, and
represents the same district that his ia
ther represented before him. MIR Dwight
before he came to Congress was a leader
of his party and celebrated as Il great
"harmonizer, man who could get peo-
pie together and fix up all kinds of dis
sension. From the days Of the stawarts
and the half-breeds To the present he has
been able to get and hold the friendship of
men of all sections without compromising
in any way his own independence. Mr..
Dwight is not a trimmer, but believes in
settling a policy, letting everybody
know 1t and sticking to ii to the finish.
His choice as whip has proved to be a
very popular proposition with his col
leagues in the House.

Music

May Music Festival at the Boyd,
Yesterday afternoon the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra contributed a highly
attractive program assisted by Miss Esther
May Plumb, contralto and Mr.. Czerwonky,
violinist.
Mr.. Oberhoffer grows more and more i'm
pressive with each number he presents,
and his work displays much careful, thor
ough rehearsal with a body of skillfuI
musicians, who have given themselves to
the task of weaving beautiful pictures in
tone from a pattern well laid out and pre-
pared for them by the interpretatlve
genius of their conductor. Mr.. Oberhoffer
has daily rehearsals with the orchestra at
home, and more funds are being added
every year to build up the organization,
for the people of Minneapolis are wide
awake to their opportunities and are proud
to speak of Our Orchestra"
Mr.. Oberhoffer stated last night that the
orchestra had in sight a quarter of a mil
lion dollars for its next five years work.
One of the most interesting features Of
the series of concerts has been the play
ing of Mr.. Czerwonky- This violinist has
simply captured the audiences with his
artistry and his exceptional talent. 1t

Miss Esther May Plumb revealed the fact
that she has a beautiful contralto voice
hidden about her somewhere. She sings
intelligence, and II she would discontinue

ing" Of her middle and lower tones she
would be more valuable to herself, her
audience, and her manager. 1t seems to
he a mania with almost all American con-
traltos to color all tones dark, forgetting
that a bright contralto voice is always a
rich possession. II Is hoped that some day
Miss Plumb will find this out, for she has
possibilities that are self-evident.
In the evening the Oratorio society was
heard in a presentation of the Messiah"
by George Frederick Handel, accompanied
by the orchestra, under Mr.. Ira E.. PENN

TROPHY TO STAY IN AMERICA
Many Owners Have Tried to Take
This Prize Across the Pond.

NEW YORK, May 15.-One of the notable
automobile prize trophies of the world has
found a resting place in New York. 1t
never left the United States, however, as
the American car was always too swift
for its foreign competitors.
The trophy in question is that presented
by Sir Thomas r. Dewar, former MEM
Der of the British Parliament and high
sheriff of London. who is we'll known
throughout the world as a mar who takes
a keen interest in all departments OF
manly sports.
Sir Thomas Dewar was a visitor to the
Florida beach in 1895 and in that year he
gave a 5000 trophy. to be known as the
Sir Thomas Dewar trophy, as a mile in
ternational prize, open to all cars of any
country or manufacture, provided they
should come within the then heavyweight
limitation of 2,2O4 pounds. The first con-
test for the trophy was held on the IA
nous Ormond-D aytona beach, now known
as the Daytona beach, Florida,
That year England sent over Arthur
Macdonald, a famous speed driver, with
a ninety horsepower Napier, to capture the
trophy, but he had to compete against
such notable drivers as II. L, Bowden of
Boston. Z. Russell Thomas, the New York
ex-banker, with his nlnety-five horsepower
htICGucS Idui SdIlbIl, WIN a ninety
horsepower Fiat; H. w. Fletcher, with an
eighty horsepower De Dietrich. and the IA
nous Louis r. Ross OF Boston, who drove
a little Stanley torpedo-shaped steamer a
mile in O:322s. defeating all the big gaso-
~line-powered cars. Sir Thomas dubbed the
Stanley steamer, the Tea Kettle be-
cause of its funnel on the top of a low
built torpedo-shaped body, through which
the steam came in a great cloud.
The next year England sent over Wal
ter Clifford carp, with an eighty horse
power Napier, and again America tight
ened its hold on the trophy when Fred
Marriott drove another Stanley steamer
in the worlds record time OF O:2S1b, which
has never been approached since, Chevro-
let, with a 200 horsepower Darracq, came
the nearest to Marriott in O:S0%, and a
few minutes later Victor Demogeot, with
the 200 horsepower Darracq, drove q
worlds record for two miles in o:5s4b.
Owing to the reluctance of the internal
combustion engine manufacturers to enter
cars against what were termed freak
racing machines" the cup was not COM
peted for in 1907 and 1905.
The board of trustees at last received a
letter from the Stanley Motor Carriage
company relinquishing its claim to the
trophy; so It was decided that. as the
rules have been changed materially since
the cup was donated, 1t should be put ur
last winter in Florida and become the ab.
solute property OF the WHINE The big
Benz racer which Hemery drove into sec
ond place at Savannah for the grand
prize gold cup. and which was only one
minute behind the winner In the 4OO-mlle
race, was sent to the Daytona beach bS

Hugh N"I7t"eh, to fsmous Australian
sportsman, W. nominated David l.

lionaire amateur, to drive it. Bruce.
