BUREAU IS PLANNED
Belmont Announces That He
Would Give Government
Six Stations.

New York, n. Y, Feb. 16.-Sportsmen
from north south east and west sat
down to table at the first dinner of its
kind ever held in this country last
night. Called in the interests OF sport
in general, there were more than 800
present, among them financial and So
ciaI leaders in New York, Boston, Phi
ladelphia, Cleveland and other cities
August Belmont, chairman of the
Jockey club, which controls racing
throughout the country, presided.
Among others present was Reginald
Vanderbilt and Thomas F. Ryan, Of
New York and Richmond
Mr.. Belmont on being introduced,
said the banquet had not the remotest
connection with any movement looking
toward legal relief for horse racing
or appeals to the lawmakers for en-
abling legislation. Later he announced
he would offer to the government six
stations to start national breeding
bureau following the lines of France,
Germany, Canada and other countries
Included IN the six are Henry of Ma
varre, which once brought $4,000 at
auction and Octago the sire of Bel
dame, winner of a Suburban handicap,
one of the greatest horses ever bred
in any country.

HALF A MILLION
BONUS FOR BALLS
Official Ball for Big League
Selected at New York
Meeting.

New York, n. Y, Feb. 16.-For a
bonus, said on good authority to be
$500. 600, the big league of professional
baseball in session here today made a
20 year contract with a leading sport
ing goods firm to use a baseball OF
its manufacture for the official league
ball
1t is the same ball that has been
used by the National league for the
last Is years and in readopting it the
magnates rejected an offer of Gin
cinnati firm said to have been 1925, 900
in 20 annual instruments Of S16,250, OF
which half was to be in cash and half
in baseba1ls supplied.
Heretofore it has been commonly
supposed, even among the players. that
Abe big leagues paid about 81 cents
each for balls which sell at retail at
S125. But the developments show they
not only pay nothing but receive all
the balls they use free and very con-
siderable cash besides.
The league schedule was adopted
without change and the schedule al
ready prepared and sent out stands Cor
the season.

Action Awaits D stribution.

Madison - The legislature has
made quick work of advancing the
Stephenson investigation report.
Upon a joint resolution introduced
by Senator Blaine, 1000 copies were
ordered printed for the use of the
members. The resolution passed the
senate and was messaged to the as
sembly and was adopted without a
dissenting vote in either house. This
would seem to indicate that the mem
bers desire to consider the reports OF
both majority and minority.
It will take some time before the

II Is time to go a-Maying

II Is time to go a-May1ng
When the frost Is in the air,
When the snowy boughs are swaying
And the fields are white and fair;
1t Is joy, indeed, to wander
Through the bosky dells and glades,
For it makes a man grow fonder
OF the snow through which he wades.
IT'S particularly pleasing
May1ng with your fingers freezing.
Hear the robbins merry chatter,
Hark the songs that they repeat
While they wonder what's the matter
AS they nurse their frozen feet!
See the butterflies leap ga1ly
AS they dance adown the breeze
They must exercise thus daily
Or with asthma they will wheeze.
o it's Joyous to go Maying
When the world about is playing.
See the lanbl1in as 1t gambols
On the hillside near it's dam,
How on frozen slopes it scramble
Cunning, gentle, frigid lamb
How the honeybees are humming.
Droning music as they go
See, a few of them are coming
Coasting on the flakes of snow!
How the tender leaves are shaking
AS from the boughs they're breaking.
Come, we'll share our joys together:
Welcome spring with hearts elate,
Fare forth in the balmy weather
We can either stroll or skate.
Going Maying thus is joyous
In our furs and overshoes,
With no sunstrokes to annoy US
Who another mood would choose7
1t is pleasant to go Maying
When we have such splendid sleighingl
