Booming OF the Guns.
In the days before cannon and in

Oldest and most honorable greeting
which a ship can give. 1t ranks before

This salute has always been demand

exaction has burned the hearts and the
powder OF generations OF naval com.
manders. For foreign ship. whether
merchant or martial. 10 enter an Eng
lisb port without yelling topsails or
dipping its national dag was to court
the chances of war. although the pro-
foundest peace existed. Without warn

man-of-war would send a round OF
shot across the bows or between the
masts OF the insolent intruder. aud II
the offending dag came not down in
stantly the foreigner was brought to
her senses by being raked through and
through. Such was the reception ac-
corded by Sir John Hawkins in the
sixteenth century TO the Spanish ad-
mlral who in time of peace sailed into
Portsmouth sound without yelling his
topsails or lowering his dag.
Salutes are essential matters OF naval
etiquette and are exchanged under an
elaborate code arranged between the
powers. The number OF guns to be
nred under al conceivable circum-
stances Is minmcly stlpulated.-New

noon at 4 o'clock, created quite a.
lot Of interest among the local sports,
who went out in automobiles, buggies

place. AS one Of the entries drop-

only two horses in the race. These
were, bay trotting mare belonging
to Mr.. Walton Anderson, driven BY

two out of three races, and as the
gray, belonging to Mr.. Bradley, and
driven by Charley Smith, won the
first two straight heats. he was aa-
judged the winner, and the third
heat was not run.
AS it was, there was a large crowd
present, who manifested great inter
est in the racing, but no doubt this
crowd would have been much lareer
had the races been held at the race
track as had been expected. This was
impossible. however. owing to the
fact that the race track was over
grown with weeds and could not be
used. The races did show that the
people here re very much interest,"

them whenever they get the chance.
