For q Successful Race MeetInq.

What might otherwise have been
first class meeting is often spoiled
by the selection of incompetent per-
sons TO officiate as judges in the
stand. IL there is any one thing
tending to q meeting or to detract
from the sport and entertainment of
harness racing, it is a stand filled
by incompetent officials. Secre-
taries and managers should take
this more into consideration IL they
expect to make their meetings popu,
lar and financial success. Judges,
and in the term include starters
should be thoroughly competent and
reliable men in whom the public
and drivers may place implicit con-
fdence. While this holds good con
corning judges, it should apply
more particularly TO the starter.
who is officially one OF the judges of
the meeting The starter is con-
stsnly under the public eye. Other
judges though equally as important
to horsemen, are less conspicuous.
A poor starter is dear at any price,
as he not only disgusts the public,
the drivers and track officials, but
causes, as consequence of his poor
work. the public to lose interest in
the sport, which they but too fire.

. tgo, Nov. 11.-A comparatively
Iyl < man, Of whom the world Is to
hear more, is Raymond Robins He
has devoted his life to the improve
ment Of conditions among the poor, and
especially among the laboring class.
As young man he began the prac-
tice of law in San Francisco, but later
migrated to Alaska, where he took up
gold mining first and reform later. He
found the conditions in Alaska so lack
ing in the essentials of civilization that
he at once started to do his sare to-
ward reforming the degnerates around
him. He began preaching the gospel
baptizing converts, marrying, burying
the dead, and his influence had much
to do in shaping the early life of
Alaska and making 1t better place
than it had been before his coming.
Later Mr. Robins returned to the
United States, settling in Chicago as
his permanent home. Here he took up
settlement work as the head of the
Municipal lodging house and other
philanthropic institutions He Is now
devoting himself to the interests Of or
ganized labor. rN s{c,ss
