YOUR GOAT"
BEGAN ON TURF

The phrase, got your goat" has been
used most extensively in baseball Cir
cles, but the expression originated on
the turf, according to a horse owner
who was seated in a Broadway cafe a
few nights ago. This turfman said
that 1t had been the custom Of many
trainers to place goat with a thor
oughbred in training for race. The
diversion that the goat furnished the
horse was supposed to play great
part in balancing the animals temper.
ament. When the time for the race
was near at hand great care was ex-
ercised to prevent the horses friend
from being stolen by hangers on who
figured thus to unnerve the racer. The
loss of the goat has been known to
worry thoroughbred enough to make
him lose race, and so it came to be
said that when a horse failed to per-

over CURBSTONE
WITHOUT A jolt

Washington, july 30.-Automobilists
undoubtedly will hail with delight the
invention OF former German infantry
officer by the use Of which the running
Of an automobile over a pavement curb
would result in the occupants Of the
car feeling no jolt. In reporting the
invention to the state department,
Consul Talbot ]. Talbot, of Brunswick,
Germany, sends the following transla-
ton describing It:
THE greatest difficulty in automo-
bile construction has been the pneu-
matte hopping of the wheels. The
tires are a constant source of worry
and, in case Of explosion, Of danger to
the owners of such vehicles. All SUBJ
stitutes, such as spring wheels on
solid rubber hoops, have failed to sup
plant the pneumatic tires. The solid
rubber hopping is too dear, and be-
sides does not possess the requisite
elasticity.
"A former German infantry officer
has apparently succeeded In solving
the difficulty. He has shifted the point
Of elasticity, which formerly consist
ed of metal spring plates under the
body of the wagon, to the axles OF the
wheels by an ingenious lever system.
The result Is astonishing. The invent

even with wooden wheels he can main

cobblestones. country roads, etc, as

and beauty they are generally thought
to surpass the biplane.
Mr.. strang's flights will probably
mark the beginning of a period of great
activity with the monoplane around
New York. At the Garden, City avia-
ton field Harry Hardness will soon be
In the air with his Antoinette machines,
of which he has two, and there are sew
eral experimental flyers there also,
some OF which are completed and ready
for tests.
The Bleriot model in which the auto
mobile driver flies, is one similar in
construction to the machine which first
crossed the English channel and to
those which hold many records for
speed and sustained flight Compared
with biplanes, the Bleriot is much
smaller and more closely resembles the
appearance of a bird.
