raced. While our club has number of
very good PAGERS, some showing great
promise, oJr club certainly excels in the
number and quality of the trotters owned
by its members at this time.
In addition to the fast record pacing
horse Hidalgo we must add that one of
our members, Charles McDermott. now
owns two of the sensational PAGERS Of the
world, one Of them the bay gelding Boliver
with record of 200 s-4, and the other the
handsome black horse The Friend with a
record of 205 IA. who was second to Boil
yer in his race when he took his record
of 200 "a and forced him to do IL. and in
that race was timed one-haif of mile in
81 seconds. and is generally conceded by
Grand Circuit horsemen to have as much
speed as any living PAGER. These horses
are now in training in our state and we
hope 10 see them compete in our matinees

HOW TO CRANK
AN AUTOMOBILE

A suggestion as to how to properly
take hold of the starting crank of an
automobile so as to avoid the possibil-
ity of injury, has been made by
Thomas B. Jeffery,, in a recent issue
of the Rambler Magazine.
There is more than one way of
grasping the starting crank of an
automobile. AS ordinarily practiced.
the hand in grasping the handle is so
placed that the thumb and fingers en-
circle it. Such a method is compare
lively safe, if the operator is pulling
upward the crank, but decidedly un-
safe if he should press down on the
crank and back fire occur.
The safer method, and one which will
allow the hand to leave the handle
without injury, whether it is being
pulled up or pressed down, is to place
the thumb on the same side of of the
handle that the fingers are placed so
that the handle is not entirley en-
circled, allowing the handle to slip out
iof the grasp when it is being pressed
down, an dpermitting the fingers to
release the handle if it is being pulled
up, at the time of back fire."
