While | am upon the topic of racing
I might say that Harry Payne Whit
ney. the American sportsman, has big
ger plans for his horses in England
this year than he had last. When we
consider that Mr.. Whitney won more
money upon the British turf than any
other American in 1909 we naturally
expect some astonishing events from
his colors this year. Sufficient 1t IS
to say that he expects to win the Der

netting him over $4,000. James r.
Keene was second. with sixteen VIC

lars may not not seem large to Amerl-
can followers of the turf but it must
be remembered that the purses and
stakes are smaller here and the honors
larger.

Perhaps you have heard of our new
sport termed, "vigero." which, to me
seems to be a complicated cross be-
tween tennis and cricket? 1t is played
with bats and balls and there is a deal
of running in it, but I have not mas
tered the rules yet. The sponsors of
the sport think that it will supplant
cricket here and baseball in America.
but l have my doubts, for those two
sports are national and the people
have been educated up to them To my
mind it is about as hopeless to substi-
tute other sports for cricket and base
ball as it is to make Esperanto the I'M
iversal tongue. But, however, we shall
see.

There is no decline in cycling, either
here or on the continent. While the
sport maintains it's popular hold here
the popularity of bicycle matches is
growing in Germany and France. The
extraordinary craze for roller shaking
has drawn some recruits from the
ranks of the cyclists, but not enough
to hurt the game.

1 Commissioner Smith points out
what must be patent to all thoughtful
men, that the Improvement OF the
rivers will not tend to a revival of
river traffic unless conditions are
changed at river ports, in his intro,
dutory letter he sums up the chief
| obstacles to a revival of river traffic
! as follows:
There is a surprising lack of co.
ordination between rail lines and water
lines for general water traffic. We
constantly see close physical proxim.
ity of rail and water lines with no
commercial interconneetion Except
at the through terminals of the rail-,
roads themsclves1, and with a consa.
quent high transfer cost. Often, in
deed, rail lines are positive obstacle
10 the handling Of water traffic, in
stead Of benefit.
Terminal charges are a considc~.
able factor in water traffic. especially
dockage, a charge on the vessel and
wharfage. a charge on the freight
passing over the wharf. Particularly
on the Mississippi system excessive
landing charges have hindered traffic.
'Snch high landing charges, to-
sether with the absence of adequate
terminals. show foreibly the extreme
lack OF cooperation between the %
calities and the Federal Government.
The Governments enormous expendi-
lures on channels are in many cases
largely neutralized by the action Of
non-action of the local authorities on
terminals. There has been, in deed.
some excellent local cooperation In
channel work, at Portland, Ore:
Seattle, Wash: Cleveland and Buffalo
but the far greater need is for local
cooperation in terminals. Localities

nails. often to the disadvantage OF
general water traffic; fourth, thrt
there is almost no linking up of the
ran and general water system as the
waters edge, but rather the opposite
tendency; fifth, that there is little co.
operation by localities with the Fell.
eral Government which improves their
channels.
Probably the greatest single de
terrent to water terminal advance Is
the present adverse attitude of rail
lines toward independent water trat.

in refusal to probate generally with
