Icxy While Visiting Neighbor.

While visiting at the home of a
neighbor in Freedman Sunday af-
ternoon George Oldham, an old time
darby, was stricken with apoplexy

old negro had been in apparently
good health and late Sunday after
noon he walked across the street
from his home to the home of Ky
Harris to talk awhile. While engag-
ed in a social conversation he fell
forward out of his chair and expired
before medical assistance could be
summoned.
The dead negro was former
slave and was owned by the father
of Ed Oldham. He has lived in Wax

liked by the white people. The in
terment took place Monday after

NJ. Calvin, roadmaster for the
Trinity and Brazos Valley is here
to spend the day and Sunday with
his family. He is the same old Mike,
hale, hearty and in good humor
all the time, and his Iaany friends
are glad to have him home for even
short time.
When asked by the reporter if
he had anything good to tell, he
laughed @rd said, Il wish we smaller
fellows could tell or knew something
to tell, but we don't; you will have
to interview the higher officials.
But | do know, he continued, that

shape, and by the time the Christ

Asked as to when the Trinity and
BraZos Valley would build her own
track into Fort Wortl, he answered
that he did not know. He said the
gap from Waxahachie to Dallas WAS
still open and that there was very
little difference in Il G mileage from
Dallas to league, and from Fort
Worth to league, but that the Dali
las route had the advantage Of the
Fort Worth route in the matter of
better grade, and that a greater
tonnage could be hauled with the
same power over the Dallas line
than over the Fort Worth line, and
that the improvements on the for
mer would indicate that the gap be-
tween Waxahachie and Dallas would
be built before that between Gle

Jack McKerron Wins
asig Stake for Irotters
Chilsholm's Cleveland Horse Driven by Bert
Shank to Victory in Straight Heats
Especial Dispaich 10 The Call

CLEVELAND o. Aug. 12.-Jack Me
Kerron, owned by Wilson b. Chisholm,
driven by Bert Shank and bred by
]. E. French, all of Cleveland, won the
Fasig stake for 2:19 trotters, the ban
ner event of today's program at North
Randall
The race was one of the prettiest
contests of the meeting, and it was
also one of the most popular victories.
Jack McKerron was not the favorite
Of the race. the talent having pinned
it's faith on Ed Geers' Marie N but
Shank had the horse in perfect form
and he performed in a fawless man
ner and carried off the race in three
straight heats.
IN each heat Geers took the lead with
Marie N, while Shank lay in behind
with Jack, gradually increasing his
speed as he went and then at the three
quarters the handsome son OF the cele-
brated wagon champion dashed down
the track and passed Marie n as easily
as if she were Jogging.
The first heat was trotted in 2:07&
it being the fastest mile Jack had
ever been sent in and 1T set aside the
old record of 2:23A,. made by him
when he was only 2 year old.
In appreciation of having the stake
named after w. b. Fas1g, one of the
best liked horsemen that ever lived,
Mrs. Fasig presented to Bert Shank
and the winner Jack McKerron, a floral
horseshoe. 1t was a handsome tribute
to the winner and a crowning event in
the days sport.
In the year old race for trotters
Vito, driven by Jimmy Benyon, the
youngest driver on the grand circuit,
won easily. In the pools Vito sold for
SIG and the field for S25 before the

Near Future
Reports From Saratoga Say
HiIdrefh's 10000 Horse Is
Recovering From LameneSS

Reports from Saratoga are to the
effect that Uncle. the horse for which
Sam Hildreth paid $4,000 to John E.
Madden, is going along nicely in his
work and that he will likely be heard
from before the season is over. Uncle
went lame year ago, and Hildreth has
been very patient in nursing him along
in the hope that<he could again go to
the post.
H. G. Bedwell recently added Thomas
Calhoun to his string by the selling
race route. The colt that Tommy Crit
fin developed at Oakland two seasons
ago beat Bedwelrs Tony Faust at Sar-
atoga and Bedwell bid him up to $1,000,
at which figure he secured him.
When Penn beat Donau and other
clever youngsters at Windsor he estab-
lished a new track record for five and
a half furlongs by running the dis
tance in 1:06 LIS. The previous mark
of 1906 u had stood for. II years. The
son of Cunard bids fair to rank as
one of the leading year olds of the
season, and John w. Schorr made a
good purchase
After Maskette won the Alabama
stake at Saratoga Jacob Pincus, the
veteran trainer, pronounced the Keene
filly the queen of them all, with the
exception of Le Fleche. Sceptre and
Pretty Polly, which trio he saw dur
ing their careers in England
Sam Hildreth has been giving Joe
Madden rest and may not do much
with him until the fall campaign on
the metropolitan tracks.
1t develops that Ma1tbie was kicked
at the post in the Saratoga handicap
and that his injury was so severe he
has been in the hands of a veterinarian.
Harry Payne Whitney is the biggest
American nominator now on the other
side of the Atlantic in the British
Derby and the British Oaks of 1911 He
named four colts for the first mentioned
event and five FLIES for the Oaks.
With one exception all the nomina-
tions are American bred The one ex-
ception is a colt by Persimmon-Dame
Dor, for which Whitney paid a big
price recently. Daisy f, q mare Ed
ward Corri gan raced at Ingleside, is
the dam of a Hamburg colt named by
Whitney for the Derby.
One of the two nominations or Aug
ust Belmont for the Derby is Belfry IL
a colt by Rock Sand Beldame, and fine
things are predicted for him. Beldame
his dam, was the champion mare OF
1904, and beat such stars as Ort Wells
She has not sent a good horse TO the
races up to the present.

to try the Vancouver game.
