Real Race in Five-Mile.

But from the racing fans standpoint
the real feature of the meet was the
fight between liver Lawson and Gordon
Walker in the John s. Bransford five
mile lap race 1t was one of that kind
of fighting finishes that made Lawson
famous the world over as a rider and
last evening he found in Walker a man
willing and anxious to fight him every
inch of the way. Mayor BransfOrd
started the race and one of the largest
fields that ever entered a race at the
saucer was sent away with flying start.
At the crack Of the gun the riders began
to nit IL out for the twO-dOllar lap
money, and kept up such a hot clip that
the riders constantly dropped by the
wayside. AS they neared the finish the
teams began to show to the front. Pye
pulling Walker, while Billy Samuelson
was sandwiChed in between the two
teams. Four laps to go. the ''pulleTs
opened up, and for two laps rode neck
and neck. each trying to turn their man
loose in the lead This they could not
do and Lawson and Walker began the
final sprint two laps to go, neck and
son on L.aWson's wheel. Try as he might.
Walker could not get around but he
gamely fought Lawson right to the tape.
The latter winning by a foot. with Sam
uelsOn coming fast in third position. Tn
crowd rose as a man and gave Lawson
enc of the Old-time ovatiOns. The time,
S.5l, is the fastest five miles ever ridden
a. either the Salt Palace or Saltair, but
the record. Of 9.fS 1-5. held at Ogden, was
not broken. The latter record however.
always has been disputed as being a lap
short of the distance, which. II true.
makes the race last evening the fastest
ever ridden on a bicycle.

Dear darling delinquent! Our

out and gone? No, little sugar
plum, we could not get away if we
wanted to. We are still at the same
old stand dishing out the advertisers

ment to serve as a dessert. We are
waiting and watching for thee, our
turtle dove. We long to hear thy
gently fnotstep on the doorstep soon
and to hear the ring of happy
dollars within our Office. Dear one,
we feel usually sad and lonely
without you, dear. Now, little pie
crust, will you come? Do we hear
your answer in a voice so sweet and
beguiling: 81 am coming" or is it
only the winds that around our Of
flee roar? We pause for further
developments.

Clean Up for Home Coming.

it ought not to be necessary for us
to suggest that every resident should
make it a point to have everything
looking clean and tidy about his
place Home Coming Week. Clean up
the yards, the lawns, the alleys, and
the streets. Let the old town put
forth it's best efforts to look pretty,
and Nature will do the rest. Let us
show the visitors that we are glad to
see them by making everything at

Bluffton Picnic a Success.

In spite of the very inclement
weather and the bad roads the Old
Settlers Picnic at Bluffton last
Thursday was a success. The crowd
was not as large as usual, but every
body had a fine time, and all were
royalty entertained by the people of
Button. The ball game between
Plymouth Rock and the Court
House Rats of DEBORAH ended sadly
for the rats. The heavy rain of the
night before seemed to drown their
ambition and they were skinned to
a finish, score to 0.

It's too hot to die,
