Glidden assured.

1t is pleasing to learn the powers that
be in the American Automobile Associa-
ton have finally planned to run the
famous Glidden tour under new condi-
tions. New York to Jacksonville, Fla,
is the new route laid out for this classic
event, and the conditions have been
framed to attract private automobile
owners, who are the people likely to
give this event added importance in the
world of automobile sport. While
Washington Is not mentioned on the
tentative route outlined by the pro-
moters, 1t is probable the Automobile
Club and the Chamber Of Commerce will
bring sufficient pressure to bear on the
contest board of the three AS to in
clude the Capital City in the route.
Some Of my automobile friends were In
today to tell me they would leave no
stone unturned to have Washington
made one of the night controls Of the
tour.

On to Chicag go!

Despite all denials it would not be at
all surprising If the American Associa-
ton should invade Chicago before the
opening of another season. This story
has been going the rounds for nearly
two wears. and Judging by that secret
meeting of the owners TUESDAY, some
thing is being planned, which Is TO De
announced later. Two years ago tnere
was a similar session, and 1t afterward
leaked out that a scheme OF getting
into Chicago had been almost perfect
ed, but the publicity given to the plans
at that time killed the whole arrange
ment. That there is enough room in the
Illinois metropolis is conceded, and
that the American Association is wise
enough to see the opportunity TO add
to its earning capacity cannot be de-

After the Nationals.

A few days ago when The Times
announced that there were outside
parties who would like to purchase the
Nationals the story was denied by GER
tain parties, but the following. written
by Paul Eaton, the veteran scribe OF
Sporting Life, explains itself:
Reports Of negotiations for the pur-
chase of the local franchise by out-of-
town capitalists have been treated as
of little importance or ignored alto
gether by some local writer's. However,
l can state on the best authority that
there are such would-be buyers and
that they have capable local counsel
looking after their interests here. They
are giving the matter very serious and
active attention. and regard the club
liabilities. which, although large, are
less than their franchise and property
are worth, as the only objection. Two
offers for the club have Deen refused
in recent years. but It is possible that
a really attractive one might stand
chance OF being accepted"

One of those who have the interests
Of the Washington ball club at heart
was telling me yesterday that II Wash

Gene Wood, the former University OF
Pennsylvania captain. who is now play
ing at Ocean City. l looked the matter
I'D and found that Wood, like host
of others, is under the contract Of Con-

Third.-That the grange shall be the
uplifter and defender of the American

HE DIDN'T KNOW LINCOLN.
New Highlander Tells Opportunity
He Missed as a Boy.


"Way down east Abraham Lincoln
was no celebrity when, early i'm 1860
he made a trip through New England.
Though that was but a few months be
fore his nomination for the presidency,
Lincoln passed twice through Boston
practically unnoticed. and to this day
nobody knows whether he put up at a
hotel or ate ut a restaurant. William
Wainwright. who was a boy in Exeter,
n. H., tells this story of Lincoln's visit
to his home town. On the morning OF
Lincon's arrival he was engaged in
fishing for eels in canal.
The cells were biting well, and Vain
wright was using two poles. oblivious
of everything but the pleasurable task
in hand. until he became conscious of
somebody climbing the fence behind
him.
He supposed it was another boy, but
on looking up was surprised to see a
tall solemn looking man. The man
smiled and remarked that the boy was
pretty busy The boy replied that he
was: that they were biting fine" The
man then asked If he could use one Of
the poles His request was granted.
and after catching few cells he acct
dentally broke the pole. which was
rough alder stick. such as New Hamp-
shire boys are wont To use He offered
TO pay for the pole. but on the boys
refusing he climbed the fence again
and went away

Der OF Elk from the Jackson Hole
country in Wyoming and place them
in the national forest in the northern
part oil .lko County.
The herd of Elk AT Jackson Hole
numbers about $4,000, and the range
is eaten off so large numbers starve

ports that fully 1000 starved to death
last winter. The herd has been in
creasing faster than killed by hunt
ers, until the question OF what to 10
with them has become puzzle to the

reason for the increase Is that lew
non-residents OF the state can hunt or
account of the great expense. A non
resident must pay $50 for license
and must then hire a guide, which

probably keep him out week before
