Blue-Blooded Equine Aristocrats Will

BuenOs Ayrcs, September Horse
men from all over South America,
from North America, Europe, Africa
and Australia, gathered about the auc
tioneers today when the great annual
September sale of horses was com
menced in this city. Several hundred
animals, among them descendants OF
some of the greatest of modern blue
blooded equine aristocrats, are Of
fered for sale during the next week.
From the famous Haras Ojo de Aqua,
near this city, perhaps the greatest
stud farm in the world, have come
thirty-six youngsters. all sired by Ken

the sale of colts and FLIES from the Oo

Sire of Derby Winners.
Cyliene. the only living sire with
three British Derby winners to his credit
and admitted by all horsemen to be
the greatest stallion in the world IL
now owned by the great Argentina
stock farm. Lemberg, Castelline and
Syce were the three horses sired by
Cyliene to win the worlds turf classic
on EPSON Downs, and when other
colts by Cylienc are placed on the
market they will likely bring record
breaking prices. Among the sires the
famous Argentine ranch has possessed
in the past were, besides Pietermaritz-
burg and Kendall. the famous Gay Her
NIT and the almost equally noted
Stietto. The progeny of Kendall born
at Oio de Aqua won a total of nearly
100000.
Other Famous Stations.
In addition to Cyliene, the stud now
owns two other famous stations. Itu-
zaingo, handsome dark bay, and Polar
Star. The three valuable equines,
worth more than the kingdom noted
monarch once offered for a horse are
housed i'm stable which is appropri-
ately called ''the House of Lords" The
animals have more care and attention
paid to their health, comfort and gem
eral well being than falls to the lot
of any but the most favored humans.
A dozen men and boys are assigned to
each horse and spend their entire time
in caring for the animal.

found I had been making mistakes
and misplaying the game III many
ways and still thinking I was doing
1t right because no one ever had told
me how should do. Louisville took
me from Grand Rapids, then Indian

with the Chicago National league

there than ever did. Besides l had

1t was at Chicago that / had my

Experience and close study Of tho
game and the men who play It are
necessary to success, and if there is
any lesson in my experience in getting
started that may be of value to new

quick unless the player is willing to

PLAY BASEBALL AT NIGHT
Two La Crosse Teams Battle for Two
Hours by Aid Of Artificial Light
Without Inconvenience.

c. A. Comiskey's recently installed
lights received their first real tryout
at the American league grounds in
Chicago the other night, when the I'LL
nois Athletic club and Calumet la
crosse teams battled for over two
hours IN a fast match in the glare of
over 100000 candle power of light
which constitutes a portion of the
light plant that will give Chicago
night baseball in the near future.
The plant proved Itself equal to
the occasion, for the test held up to
what was expected.
The Illinois A. G. won the game, II
to 10, but this fact was lost to view
in the confusion resulting from the
pronounced success Of the light plant
land at that the grounds were
curtailed and only half the power was
in use.
At no time during the 80 minutes
of play did the players find It hard
to follow the ball, but the game
proved as fast and as interesting as
If 1t had been played in the broad day
light.
No complaint was heard from the
players and with the roof lights un-
covered the contestants were in no
way bothered by the force of the
lamps.

Mr.. Guy F1emming, civil engineer.
was passing couple of weeks at the
village Of Colville. That meant that
he was fishing. That didn't mean
that he was catching any fish, be-
cause the month was August, and a
fish that will bite in August is not
worth the carrying home.
A mile outside the village was the
Prim school for young ladies-Miss
Janet Prim principal, proprietor and

AS the school buildings were sit
uated on the banks of the same river
in which Mr.. Flemming was vainly
fishing for fish, suspicious person
like Miss Prim must see through his
duplicity sooner or later. He was
gradually approaching the school
grounds as he fished, and the day
would come when he would venture
to climb the wall and address one of
the dozen damsels remaining there
through the summer vacation. Miss
Prim did see, and she called up Miss
Fanny Livingston, one Of her assist
ants. and solemnly said:

around. That is, there is a strange

Rise Of. "leftv" Russell

Russell, the much-talked-about Balti-
more eastern league) pitcher, who
has been captured by Connie Mack for
fall delivery at a reputed purchase
price of $4,000, first attracted the at
tention of the Baltimore owners when
pitching for a Sunday school nine.
Last year Russell was with the Ha-
gerstown team, an Independent organ
ization. In the western Maryland town
he cleaned up everything that ap-
peared before him and it was not long
before Manager Dunn got him. Since
tAs start of the current season Russell
has shown phenomenal form, and with
perfect support would have lost but one
game during the entire season.

'Yes'm."
The next day Mr.. Flemming went
fishing down the river. He had hith-
erto fshed up the stream. He knew
nothing whatever of the jaunt to the
grove on the part of the young ladies,
but the voice of Fate called to him.
He had been in the grove for couple
Of hours, and he had almost had two
bites on his hook, when the grove
was invaded. He heard song and
laughter, and he soon reasoned out
who his callers were.
1t was very proper of Mr.. Elem
ming to sit there and fish and fish and
not go spying. By skulking through
the brush a hundred feet or so he
could have come upon the happy band
in a dell, but he didn't skulk. He sat
there and bobbed his line up and
down and watched the bubbles and
the froth.
More than an hour had gone by
when Mr. Fleming heard the rum
BILE of thunder, and looked up to see
the sky darkening. There was going
to be a thunderstorm. He heard ex-
CARNATIONS and calculations from the
young ladies and knew they were pre-
pairing to take shelter in farmhouse
a quarter of mile away. He didn't
propose to get wet, but he had noted
a great sycamore tree with hollow
trunk that would give him shelter.
The voices of a dozen running,
harum-scarum girls had died away
in the distance, and Mr.. Flemming
had laid down his fishpole, when he
was startled by cry for help. 1t was
near at hand. 1t was the voice of a
woman. The fisherman made a rush
of fifty feet to confront a young WON

root as she started to flee with the
others. She was hanging to the limb
