Manager Hanks Stake Program
Complimented by New York Paper

1t is a somewhat UNUSUAL compli-
ment, which Eden w. Hanks, the Au-
gusta race promoter has received. His
announcement of a two-weeks' meet
starting, Aug. 5. at Augusta. is fea-
tured in the New York Telegraph of
Friday. Dee. %. with a signed two
column article by \. G.. Asdikian, a
leading sporting writer. The article
says in part:
Thirty thousand dollars In stakes
and purses, 1912" is the announce
ment sent out by the manager of the
half mile track at Augusta, Me. This
early and rich program is for a half
mile track, where a two weeks meet
ing will be held, starting, Aug s.
Horsemen art. asked to send entries by
March l to 10 classes for a total
amount of s21 1900, including one
$4,000 stake. three worth $4,000 each,
six worth $1,000 and nine. $500 each.
The balance of $500 will be held over
for late class races.
Knowing that high-class sport
alone is. or should be, the greatest
drawing card at every trotting meet
ing, Manager Hanks makes a special
donation to horsemen and drivers of
Is per cent. of each days gate re-
ceipts. OF this amount five per cent.
will be equally divided among the
days money winning drivers. while the
remaining 10 per cent will be set
aside to be distributed among all own
ers whose horses participated in fur

nishing the amusement but stayed be-
hind the morey.
If you make liberal entries l will
be liberal with you. is what the gem
eral run of track managers say to
horsemen, while in this unique Au-
gusta case Manager Hanks offers as
good and liberal terms as any others,
and tells the. participants that If they
all do their very best in furnishing
high class sport he viii divide with
them his gate receipts, certainly an
inducement V hich shows a sincere de-
sire to make the race attractive to its
patrons.
THE proposition is certainly worth
more in popularizing the racing sport
than all the talk INDUCED in by know
ing ones in public or private. The
entrance fee for the feature event, the
$4,000 stake for the Els trot is placed
at per cent, with per cent. TO be
deducted from the winners. which is
much better for all concerned than the
regulation system of 5 per cent. at
each end.
why not study this suggestion and
apply it to the entire Grand Circuit,
even it if originates from q man in
charge of a small two-lap oval? And
why not incorporate Mr.. Hanks an
nouncement in all Grand Circuit race
conditions: Rain or shine. throngs or
solitude. racing goes on just the same.
for no race that fills according to CON
ditions will ever be declared off

sPoR TING NOTES.

Discussion of various suggested
changes Ia football rules was fea-
ture of the program of Thursdays
meeting OF the National Collegiate
Athletic Association at New York.
Widespread dissatisfaction with the
code has been expressed by many of
the delegates but there is also con-
siderable number of the experts who
think that the rules are nearly right
as they stand. The chief objection
found. mostly by advocates of old
time football. Ii the handicap put on
the offence. Too many yards to gain
with too few downs and the necessity
OF resorting to the tickle forward
pass, according to these men, lend
uncertainty to the game and tend to
favor the weaker team.

Veeder Continues Story.

A. z. Veeder. attorney for Swift &
Co. continued his story of the inside
workings of the Chicago meat packers
today. when the trial of the ten in
dicted men was resumed before Unit
ed States Judge George A Carpenter.
Counsel for the government expect
to complete the direct examination of
the witness before the close of the day
Was the final report of the APP
praisers and expert accountants on
the value of the tangible property of
the promoters of the big merger ever
made?" asked Special Counsel Butler,
resuming the direct examination of
Mr.. Veeder at the opening of the morn
ing session.
THE reports We're not completed
until after the big merger had failed
and each member received a report
of its own business, replied Mr..
Veeder.
Where. were the meetings held at
which plans for the big merger were
discussed"
Mostly at my office, but at times we
met at the homes of the principals"
Who attended those meetings."
Various representatives of the
packing interests. J. Ogden Armour
did not come often, but was repre-
scented by Arthur Mecker, p. A. Valen-
tine or Attorney Krauthoff. Gustavus
f. Swift, Louis F.. Swift and Edward
f. Swift represented Swift & Co; MI
chael and Edward Cudahy appeared
for the Cudahy interests and Edward
and Ira Morris represented Morris
& CO."
when was the subject of the big
packing merger first suggested"
EARLY in 1902 Gustayus f. Swift
first mentioned it to me. Lord Pan
nure Gordon, an Englishman, who
had been prominent in merging COR
porations both in England and in this
country. had met G. F. Swift and
suggested that the packing companies
of the country be combined.
His suggestion was that the stock
of the Chicago packers be bought at
200 and paid for in stock of the new
company. The humor of this sugges-
ton appealed to Mr.. Swift. He was
impressed with the general idea of
consolidating however, and q meet
ing was called in May. 1902. at which
the subject was considered.
''AIl the packing interests were rep
resented at that meeting. In those
days the consolidation of corporations
was a popular fad. In these days it
is considered a failacy.' replied the
witness.
Was there no agreement by the
Chicago packers for a merger prior to
May 81. 1902" asked Mr. Butler.

STOCK FOOD FROM
BRANCHES AND BARK

MARINETTE, Wis, April 14-The
announcement Of c. L. Cook that he
had worked out a stock food prepare
ton made from the branches and
limb tips of Alder and other low
brush growths, has brought him
deluge of CORES ondence from all Sc
ctions of the country.
Mr. Cook has been feeding his cat
tie a preparation of ground limb tips
from the brush combined with other
foods Of known value making a food
Of highly nutritive values. He has
fed a large herd of several hundred
cattle on this preparation for almost
year and has obtained results that
are highly satisfactory.
The discovery is proving a boon to
northern Wisconsin farmers who have
had difficulty during the first year
of their location in the country to
secure winter feeds for stock. The
process enables them to get a winter
food for stock while clearing their
lands. Mr.. Cooks process is no Sc
cret and can be used by any farmer
in any section of the country who has
the desirable brush upon his lands.
