and states that his company has
never thought of doing anything 10

pany has been buying every Delicious
scion available for the legitimate de-
n'ands of its business. He refutes
the story that gained circulation
some time ago that the Delicious ap
pie has been doomed for exploitation
purposes, stating that in 1907 he &C
iually did offer $2.65 a box for De
iicious apples at time when those
and Spitzenbergs were quoted al
$3.50 and Winesaps were $2.25. Tn
money was furnished by the hea;
Office and the motive was purely t
force the Delicious into notice 70

the apple was selling on its owl

BIG CROWD At THE
RACES
2 900 SPECTATORS WITNESS THE
THRILLING EVENTS OF ALI.
HOME ENTRIES - ACCIDENT
PREVENTS AUTO RACE.

Two thousand spectators were
present at the trotting races held on
Springwater avenue today. The races
got late start as the road could not
be cleared by 10 o'clock. Rigs were
coming in continual procession until
1890. BY that time the crowd was
under pretty good control and most
of the people were showing a dispo-
sition to stay back of the ropes. Even
then two sleighs were still disputing
the track with the entries for the first
heat. A good deal of jockeying was
necessary to get Britta and Nettie
Ham started, but they were finally OF
at 10:45. From then on the events
came in good order. During an inter-
mission the hat was passed and lib
eral contributions were made, assur-
ing more races in the future.
Judge Martin made a nice little
megaphone speech at the beginning.
informing the crowd that Wenatchee
was a very nice little place. Cheers
and hurrahs followed the announce
ment. after which the judge asked
every one to stand back and give
the terrible Kraha chance. Kraha
was so nervous that the crowd had
to stand in front of the automobiles
so that he couldn't smell the gaso-
line
Features OF the Day.
The feature of the day was the en-
citing third race, when Kraha
beat the favorite Radium. Radium
was away In the lead but broke half
way down the stretch ana Kraha beat
him to the stand. Radium's driver
made a protest that was not allowed.
The first heat between Dick and
Lola was another exciting one and
some difficulty was experienced I'M
keeping the crowd back from the
track. Bill Smith had the megaphOue
and thought the crowd might not
know what track was, so he called

other name he could think of. The
crowd minded best when he said traY
In the first heat Britta had the best
of the going but it was very close.
Finally Nettie Ham broke and lost
so much ground that she could not
recover. The sorrel mare Britta
seemed to like the uneven footing
and showed some very honest efforts
Sometimes she made some great turns

Lola race Dick calked himself and the
race was drawn. Dick showed up

friends today.
Judge Martin got all the prizes, and
lot Of praise for his driving. Some
of the other entries did not have a
chance as the judge was far the best
driver on the track. The difference
was so great that the crowd did not
have chance to see an the horses
at their best.
