Grand Circuit was only three weeks old
as a safeguard r. T. c. and Mitchell
Murphy developed as the campaign pro-
gressed, and they have proved to be his
chief money winners. Murphy's stable
has been singularly free from lameness
and disease, owing no doubt 10 the fact
that he is a careful man with his horses
and takes no chances He will be the
chief topic of conversation around the
stove when the horsemen congregate
during the winter season. now close at
hand, and his wonderful campaign Of
1911 will shine for years with undimmed
luster in light harness history.
w f. Miller's Alice NJ. carried on the
big end of the $1,000 purse at Norfolk
Thursday last, in which she lowered her
mark to 2;l7 IA in the fourth heat, the
fastest in the race. which went five heats.
Russell Cozine got fourth money in the
same race and was third in one heat in
2:l93 This would indicate that the
black PAGER is rounding to, after his
serious injury at Prospect some months
ago. No other Washington owned horse
has won a $1,000 purse the present year,
and Alice NJ. will retire to winter quar-
ters as the biggest local money winner
of 1911 The free-for-all 500 purse was
won by ManvelA over a rather cheap
field. the fastest heat being in PIP IA.

LAUREL GALLOPS.

The first Of series of ladies' days
Monday afternoon, when all ladies' will be
admitted free of charge and will be pre-
sented with a handsome souvenir satin
programme. This is following out the
lines started by Manager H. D. Brown
when he inaugurated ladies' days at City
Park at New Orleans several years ago.
These were kept up as long as racing
was carried on in that city. He then
followed 1t up at the meetings held at
Moncrief Park at Jacksonville for the
last three winters, and has now inaugu-
rated them at Laurel.
A number of these events will be held
at Laurel race meeting, and one or two
days more will be held for the ladies,
which will enable them to witness first
class racing free of charge. The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad will run the two
specials, as on other days. to the course.
and should the patronage require ii three
specials will be put on the run. This will
eliminate the crowding that is usually
found on race trains. This Inconvenience
has not been experienced during the
meeting at Laurel.
Due to the rain of to-day, the Novelty
race has been postponed on account of
the track being too slippery for the ma
chimes to travel over. This will be held
about Thursday, or when the track Is
again in fast and dry condition. During
next week several flying machine artists
will be in and around Baltimore, and ar
ranEements will be made with them to
give exhibitions at Laurel race track.

ATLANTIC WATERS ARE
alive With WARSHIPS
10y Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 19.-The city
awoke and went about its business
today terrified by the knowledge that
a hostile fleet was trying to steal or
fight its way past the squadron of
naval militia and ffotilla of torpedo
boats defending the approach through
Long Island Sound. Until the naval
officers in charge of the maneuvers
make their report to the navy depart
ment, movements of the opposing fleet
will be largely a matter of conjecture.
Wireless messages are forbidden and
the engagements probably will occur
beyond the range of observation or
land.
The whole eastern end of Long
Island Sound IS picketed by torpedo
boat destroyers and submarines. Lit.
tie crafts were sighted during the
night at various points along Con-
necticut and Long Island shores but
nothing was seen of the majestic fleet.
The battleships are to make two at.

ASIDE A. FORTUNE
Declined to Swap an Old Vest for 4
Worn-Out Farm Full Of
Diamonds.

In this day of great fortunes it is
not unusual to read in the daily news
columns of great fortunes being lost
and won in day, and the following
anecdote is quoted to illustrate how
one man cast aside an opportunity to
become many times a millionaire.
Years ago man named Saltzmann
owned an estate in Griqualand, and
adjoining his property was an old
worn down farm that had not been
worked on account Of it's poor soil and
the lack Of necessary water. The
owner of this farm met Herr Saltz-
mann one day and offered to trade tho
farm for an old waistcoat he had seen
him wearing
AS Saltzmann did not wish to bur.
den himself with piece of worthless
land he kindly refused the offer. A
few years later big clear diamonds
were found on this waste stretch, and
now millions of dollars could not pur-
chase it.

Its owner was justly proud.
But it possessed one drawback-it
wouldn't work Ever since it had
been purchased it had remained at
set Fair" whatever the weather had
happened to be- And the weather had
happened to be particularly wet.
At last it's owner grew weary Of
it's external beauty, and exasperated
over its internal stupidity. One day.
when the rain was pouring extra
hard, he tore the weather indicator
from the wall, and took it out into the
road.
Now. then" he cried, shaking it
