AUTOMOBILE RACES
FOR FRONTIER WEEK
Annual Celebration in Cheyenne Opens

Magnificent New Four
Mile Track

CHEYENNE. Kyo., Aug. 17.-Fron-
tier week, an annual celebration in the
Wyoming metropolis, was commenced
today with the automobile race meet
at the magnificent new four mile track
as a feature. Large crowds are here
to witness the contests, which will be
participated in by some of the crack
drivers of the country.
The Cheyenne Motor club has spent
a great deal of money putting the
course into condition and Eastern
automObilists who have seen the track
declare it to be an ideal speedway for
motcr cars. The track is exactly four
miles around and is shaped like a
letter d, the most abrupt turn being
only about per cent. The track is
laid out around Sloans Lake and spec
tators in the grandstand can see the
ears all the way around the course.
The grand stand is a steel and con-

two tiers of seats as well as a number
of boxes. Signal posts have been
erected every half mile around the
track, so the time of the competing
cars can be taken for almost any dis
lance.
The main event is to be a 200 mile
race for gasoline cars only, the fifty
lap contest being scheduled to start
at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The first
prize for this event will be $3.50 in gold
and the entry fee will be $50 for each
car. A 25-mie race for gasoline cars
will precede the big race. George Her.

NEW YORK. Aug. lis Jack
Johnson sincere in his desire for a
match with hig Jim Jeffries?
From this distance it doesn't look
as if he was.
Moreover it looks as if Johnson was
just seeking a little more advertising.
He needs it ALL He is not too well
provided with cash and any advertis-
ing he can get will help his vaudeville
tour.
1t has always been the custom
when a fighter covered another fight
with the one holding the first mans
deposit Not so with Johnson Instead
of coming to New York to cover JEFF
fries forfeit, or sending the money
here, as he said he would when he first
heard of Jeffries' deposit beng up,
Johnson puts his money in the hands
of Chicago man who has not fig
ured in the negotiations.
AS it stands now the deposit of
either man counts for nothing.
Either can pull down his money at
any time.
Johnson's statement that Jeffr;es
would have to meet him and arrange
the details of the match before the
big boilermaker sailed for Europe does
not sound like sincerity.
When Jeffries deposited his $4,000
with a New York sporting writer he
said then and there that he would sail
for Carlsbad on August s. to remain
Berger, to look after the details. These
facts were all made known to the ma :
hogany smoke. but instead of coming
to New York to arrange the match,
Johnson continued on his automobile
trip. Johnson's statement that he
would be here on Thursday, August D.
was the worst kind of a bluff. He knew
that Jeffries sailed for Europe on that
day. and no amount of money would
have induced him to come to Gotham
before the steamer carrying the
worlds champion had passed Sandy
Hook
TO one not knowing Johnson's per-
eoea' reasons for continuing his motor
sEip during the time Jeffries WAS rest
,, ng up in New York. it looks like very
poor judgment and bad taste to rush
into print on the eve of Jeffres de-
parture demanding that the latter re-
main in New York until Johnson could
re ach here.
The only conclusion to be reached al
this time is that Johnson is badly adj
vised. or else simply trying to get a
let of advertising for his theatrical en-
gagements But the sporting public
cares nothing for his theatrical affairs
What they want to know is whether
Johnson intends to fight Jeffries or not
and until they are actually convinced
that he is, through the signing of IRON
clad articles of agreement, with forfeit
| money and side bets in the hands OF
..Imanent shareholders. they will take
! Mr.. Johnson's statement, and ultl-
| matums with a large pinch of salt.

GARDENING IN CITIES.

The Mccormick branch of the Inter
national Harvester company, more
commonly known as the Harvester
trust and with which the state of Kan
sas had some recent dealings, has do
mated some ninety acres of land in the
city of Chicago which it is proposed to
devote to the raising of garden truck
by the poorer classes of the people of
that city and for their own use. This
is wise philanthropy which should be
the means of accomplishing much good.
In this plan, also, is conveyed the sug-
gestion that the people of cities. not
necessarily those of the poverty-strick-
en- type. could most profitably use their
back yards and vacant lots for the
growing of vegetables for their own use
and for their less fortunate brethren
who have not any land at their disposal
to cultivate.
1t will surprise most folks in a city.

OF getting the ground ready, the labor
incident to caring for a garden of this
sort is of a minimum extent. It is
really more play than work. especially
for those who have been strangers to
the growing of things. 1t is fascinat-
ing work, too, one that is full of all
kinds of interest and even excitement
1t affords the keenest delight, also for
one to be able to go out in his own
yard and gather in lettuce. radishes
young onions and variety of other
vegetables in their season, as thew are
needed for the table. If any success
is achieved at all in the raising of these
things, and it is not hard to attain. the
home grown vegetables are far superio-
to those that it is possible to purchase
in stores. This is not the fault of the
storekeeper but most fresh vegetables
have habit of whiting within a few
hours after they are picked regardless
of the care that is taken in the efforts
to keep them in good shape.

CONNECTICUT. TOO.

After nearly four years of investiga-
tion, a commission appointed by the
governor of Connecticut has made a
report strongly recommending the
adoption of direct primaries. Those
members of the New York legislature
who profess to be anxious for an in
vestigation before action is taken
might move to adopt the Connecticut
investigation as New York's and go
ahead Enough time has been taken
for the Connecticut inquiry to make 1t
exhaustive and it does not appear like
ly that a New York commission could
accomplish anything beyond delaying
the reform a year or two.
AS the Connecticut report states,
the direct nominations movement is
advancing so rapidly in the various
states that it may well be compared
with the movement for a secret bal
lot some twenty years ago. That re-
form was resisted as strongly as di-
rect primaries are being fought. In
this state it has been subjected to va
