But now, thank goodness, winter is
waning. Once more the roads are drying
up; spring is knocking at the door, and
all Is bright and joyous, and to crown
all the jaded motorist Is back with ruddy
cheeks and iron nerves and funny oaths
from foreign parts.

British children who will play marbles
like we all used to in the good old days,
and will go to school by the roads as we
used to in the good old days, instead of
by the old, safe, modern way over hedges
and bitches. in fact, any ID old way
except the right one. and who will insist,
as his halfpenny daily tells us, on run
ming into poor innocent motors.
And the motor season commences.
Goodbye, little Nellie Broad. Goodbye,

Peter Thompson Covers Sec

Time of 2.O8 IA.

DETROIT September a0.-Peter Thomp-
son, bay gelding. driven by Serrill, and
owned by A. B. Coke of Paoli, Pa, won
fresh laurels yesterday at the Michigan
state fair grounds, when, in the second
heat Of the Matron stake, he established
| a new worlds record of e.0SA for
| three-year- trotting geldings.
Last month at Cleveland this game
son of Peter the Great set the mark
| at 2.09A. All three heats in the trot-
| ting division of the Matron stake were
thrilling contests, and in each instance
there was a whipping drive down the
stretch and close finish.
Margaret Parrish, with Mainleaf close
| up showed the way to the last turn in
| the first heat. Half way down the
stretch Atlantic Express came through
with a rush and beat the filly home
by neck.
| In the second heat Atlantic Express.
Margaret Parrish and Mainleaf raced
side by side to the head of the stretch,
then Peter Thompson. who had been
lying in fourth position most of the
way, broke through and shot under the
wire a scant head to the good. They
were all we'll punched in the final heat,
/! and five of the youngsters came into
the stretch abreast.
In one Of the fiercest drives ever seen
on Detroit track Atlantic Express,
slightly in the lead, was forced to a
break 100 yards from the wire, and
crossed the line running. with Peter
Thompson second The break cost the
Bellini colt the race as the judges set
him back TO second position.

Washington's New Hospital.

The residents of Columbia Heights
have energetically labored to give suc-
cess to the new Northern Dispensary
and Emergency Hospital which has
been established in that section of the
city The institution is needed, mas
much as the nearest hospital which af-
fords emergency treatment is at least
two miles distant, while there is no
dispensary within considerable radius.
Having its inception in the minds of
public-spirited citizens. the hospital is
being carried forward with commend
able vigor. Its staff has been organized
and already enough work has been
done to demonstrate that its existence
was wisely planned. There is every
reason to believe that the enthusiasm
which has marked its initial stages will
be maintained, and that it will become
an institution in every way worthy of
the city.

Smash the Washers.

The police authorities are acting
wisely in their efforts to afford greater
protection for unaccompanied women
who find it necessary to be upon the
streets after dark. The simple an
nouncement of activity will not, how
ever, be effective unless it is followed
up by public examples of offenders. The
youth who was arrested the other night
for annoying woman employe of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing es-
capped too lightly. Forfeiting his COL
lateral of $Io he did not appear in
court to answer the charge of disor-
DERBY conduct lodged against him.
When it becomes necessary for a
woman to seek police protection in the
streets of Washington it would seem
fitting that her annoyer should be given
a more impressive lesson than was thus
conveyed. A few more arrests and
severe punishment after conviction, to-
gether with the public assurance that
the police are constantly watchful, will
&C far toward breaking up and perhaps
eradicating the evil.
