are to teach shall receive some special
training for the work We hereby re-

tees Of the institution for providing this

Introduces New Strawberry.

One of the notable creations perfect
ed this year by Luther Burbank, the
plant wizard, is a strawberry Of new
type, 1.-THE Patagonia. 1t is claimed
that it continues to bear the longest
and that the leaves are never injured by
sunburn. where other varieties are
either seriously Drowned or wholly de-
stroyed.
The fruit is uniformly large and sin
gle, sometime weighing an ounce; the
color fine scarlet and the seeds so small
as to be almost imperceptible. The new
berry, it is said, melts in the mouth
with a sweet Observation-Disclosures
creamlike flavor.
Burbank has worked on this straw
berry for number Of years until he has
pronounced il perfect.

UHlAN TROTs
MILE IN l. So 50
Billings Gelding Breaks All
Records for Gait With
out Wind Shield.

Cleveland, o., Aug. IS. Uhlan,
1:5S$l. king of trotters. was the title
hung up at the North Randall Grand
Circuit meeting yesterday.
The black son of Bingen trotted
around the mile track in 1:5SA with
out a falter all the way. and going as
freely. and as easily at the wire as
though he had not trotted faster than
any horse ever trotted before without
the aid of a wind shield
The wild cheers of a crowd of ten
thousand harness lovers, who realized
as the quarter miles were reeled off
by the trotter. that marks were fall
ing with every step, did not bother the
big black, either. He tossed his head
proudly, however. when Doc Tanner
logged him back to the judges stand
to hear that the mile had been turned
at such speed as no other horse ever
had accomplished without artificial aid.

LORD BALKS On DEAL;
MAY NOT JOIN SOX
Says He'll Quit Baseball
Unless Offered Proper
Inducements"

Harry Lord. the deposed captain of
the Boston Red Sox, who on Thursday
was traded to the Chicago White Sox,
is recalcitrant and may not be seen IN
a Chicago uniform. President Comis-
key wired Lord to report to the White
Sox in time to play today and expected
to have him in unifor mat third against
New York. He had not heard anything
from Lord directly. Last night. how
ever, he was informed in dispatches
from Boston that Lord was still there
and that he would quit baseball unless
proper Inducements were offered.
When Comiskey heard that he simply
said:
Well let him quit
Lord Is quoted in Boston as saying:
II have no complaints to make against
the Boston American club for being
released. This deal with Chicago was
a big surprise. Not that 1 have any
| thing against Chicago, but I wanted to
| be in the east where 1 could be near
my family. Before I report to Chi
cago somebody will have to come
through with proper inducements. If
the Chicago club fails to give me what
I ask for, why it may be out of base
ball for me-maybe."
