"Hoss Racing"

Horse racing has been called "the
sport of kings" 1t may have been
all Of that in a buried long ago, but
now the whole thing is frame-up
to trim those misguided buffers who
think they are sports, or that they
can get something for nothing, or
that they can beat a game which
they know other men are going
broke on. 1t has finally developed
into a gigantic scheme of refined
swindling from the owner down to
the pleasant, well-dressed gentlemen
of unctuous manners, who tells you
with affable offhandness that he has
something good coming through
tomorrow" He is but one of the
many devices and tools of a bunch
of sure-thing gamblers that are sure
to break up horse racing in this
country. If it was once, "the sport
of kings" it has fallen down, and is
now the sport of suckers.

THE HOWARD THEATER
SPELLS OPPORTUNITY"

NJ l. LIZ t~tJ ~ 4 L. NTbNi - ~ . a
1t is not transgressing the realm
Of the advertising page to say right
here that our people should give the
New Howard Theater their heart
lest support. 1t is one of the pref
tiest and most complete playhouses
in the country, and represents an
investment of $Ioo,ooo in cold cash.
1t will furnish an open door to the
most capable performers of our
race, and afford the Negroes of
this prejudice-ridden community a
place of amusement where they are
free to sit wherever they choose and
be treated like ladies and gentle
men. The broadminded men who
have invested their money so liber-
ally in this enterprise in response
to what seemed to be the unanimous
demand for theater for the people
should not be permitted to suffer
disappointment at our hands from
lack of patronage. If the Howard
venture fails, it will be many moons
before any of us will have the ef-
frontery to go to another white
man and ask him to take an interest
in our complaint against the narrow
and bigoted custom of segregating
the Negro in all of the theaters and
public resorts of this city.
This splendid playhouse spells op-
portunity in more ways than one to
the Negro race. To support it is a
duty that we owe to those who have
placed it within our grasp.

Editress, Ii06 o Street, N. w.
Rev. X. Kent Harris spoke last
Sunday upon subject taken from
that portion of the Scripture which
tells of the rebuilding of the walls of
Jerusalem, with beauty of phrasing
and boldness of purpose which
aroused and arrested immediate at
tention. In his comparison of the
necessity of the rebuilding of these
walls of Jerusalem to the work of
renovation of the church, all earthly
Jerusalem, he said that God was
Jealous of the work, and he made ali
eloquent appeal TO us to cultivate
and emancipate Our souls and bring
our lives in harmony with the LIE OF
Jesus. 1t was a grand appeal, and
it must have stirred the most callous
and Indifferent in the audience.
After the sermon there was offered
an humble and fervent prayer for
pardon as well as for guidance to
that strong, sweet force of divine
love than which there is nothing
sweeter or stronger, and to which no
human soul ever truly appealed in
vain. Rev. Severson assisted the
pastor in administering the COM
munion.

Of that earnest and faithful few

are: Sister Lucy Minor, brother
James E, Payne and brother James
G. Semple. On the first Sunday in
each month at least one of these
members is present, sister Minor be-
ing on the honor roll in point of at
tendance, She never fails to have a
word to say for the Master, Incl
dentally giving a leaf out of her long
and varied experience, and winding
up with bit of loving advice of
how the younger members should
live and labor for the church and
take care of the pastor. For long
time brother Sennple has been con-
fined to his home, being almost to-
tally blind. Brother Payne, being
also well advanced in years, suffers
much from the infrmities of age, and
cannot get to the church as often as
we would like to see him. All these,
however, have a deep and abiding
place in the hearts of all the MEM
