behind the proposed flight. held a

him parts of their machines as It
became necessary All three agreed
to start" and according to the
terms Of the race, there must be
at least three starters. The pro-
motors, however, refused to accept
their proposition in good faith.
They believed that two of the ma
chimes would alight at the first
grass plot, dismantle their ma
chimes and follow the third by train
as they had originally planned to
do.

drink out of one of those public
cups again.
The Press watched the public
drinking fountain at Howard and
Riverside for just seven minutes
this morning and this is what hap
pened at the fountain during that
brief space of time.
Two women on shopping tour
hustled up, arms full Of bundles,
filled the cups attached to the foun-
tain by a chain and drank thirstily.
Then a ragged and dirty looking
tramp came along and took a drink.
He was followed by gentleman
of ministerial mein. Then two lit
tie girls stopped to quench their
thirst.
A brief interval and huge st.
Bernard dog wandered by. Heav-
ing himself UP ponderously he
placed his fore feet on the fountain
rim and drank eagerly. The cup
day in the bottom of the shallow
fountain and he slavered and slob-
bered over this as he drank.
A man and woman passed with a
baby in It's tiny carriage. The
child was thirsty and was lifted
up to drink from the same cup into
which the dog had slobbered.
Then came a trio Of newsboys.
Following them an aged man with
patriarchal beard, down which a
small stream of tobacco Juice
trickled, toek his turn at the foun-
tain.
A tired looking country woman
with a troupe of youngsters stopped
for moment or two and the whole
tribe drank.
Down the street lurched for
cigner, swarthy skinned and I'M
clean looking, drunk so that the
spittum dribbled from the corntrs
of his mouth. He also visited the
fountain.
Then came a college boy, logged
out in the latest rah-rah fashion,
and shifting his cigarette to the
corner of his mouth, he drank with
out removing the little pill, an ac-
complishment of which he was
manifestly proud.
A couple of shop girls, G. A. R.
man, a newsboy, and a business
man or so occupied the fountain
for a moment.
The postman came along and
stopped for the mail from a nearby
postbox, and his horse availed It.
self of the opportunity to snatch a
mouthful of water. Again was the
drinking cup slobbered and slav-
cred over by an animal.
Then came q man hawking and
splitting with the catarrh, and fol-
lowing several children. ~
And every person who used the
drinking cups rinsed them out
BUT NOT ONE OF THEM CLENS-
