BLIND SPEAKER
IN WOODBRIDGE
Gave Address In the High
School Yesterday

Woodbridge. Dec. 15:-Gregory
O'Dwyer, of Philadelphia, a blind
lecturer, spoke before the students
Of Woodbridge high school yester-
day. Mr.. O'Dwyer has been blind
since seven years of age. He is a
wonderful example of what can be
accomplished without physical sight.
He travels alone and has lectured
before schools in every section OF
the United States. His accomplish
ments are quite varied for he ranks
high as a musician and psychologist.
Ten years ago he favored our
schools with a visit and today we
find him even more entertaining.
The subject of his lecture was "The
Blind and Their Education" This
presented the prohlems which con
front q blind student and his method
of overcoming them. Statistics were
produced to show that the blind
students rank higher In the schools
than those with all their faculties,
undoubtedly, because the former APP
ply themselves more, since they are
so sensitive In respect to their handi-
cap.
The lecture was highly enjoyed
and all felt that q profitable hour
had been spent.

BLACK BELT OF CRUELTY.
Ruthless Slaughter of Birds in the
South for Millinery.

Certain sections of the Southern
States are called 1.-The black belt Of
cruelty" in the magazine of an Amer
lean Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals issued from New
York Monday. The bulletin takes
up the slaughter of birds for milli-
merry. 1t says in part
''The strict bird laws of the North
can never count for much if our
feathered neighbors have to face an
ordeal of shot and unmerciful cruel
ty in their winter abodes. In Gecr-
gia and the Carolinas the wholesale
shooting of song birds, protected in
the North, is widely practiced.
"It is an ordinary sight to see ne
gro boys coming into the towns in
the early morning carrying long
strings of dead robins. Some of our
cherished song birds are netted at
their roosting grounds and thousands
are sometimes secured in a night,
only the choice birds being used and
the other thrown away.
Mourning doves which in North
ern States are preserved by common
consent by sportsmen and repay the
courtesy by diligent work against
insects, are trapped by thousands in
the South. Florida has been for
years the scene of the barbaric
slaughter of the snowy herons and
egrets, until the beautiful birds are
now on the verge of extinction

Big Price for Mare.

A dispatch from Louisville, KY,
says that Sonoma Girl (204A,) the
famous trotting mare, the winner of
several big stake races has been sold
by Miss Lotta Crabtree, the actress,
to C. W. Moore, owner of the Dro-
more Farm, St. Clair, Mich. The
price is reported to be $4,000.
Sonoma Girl is regarded as one of
the highest class mares that was
ever raced in this country. She was
bred in California by S. B. Wright,
of Santa Rosa, CAL, who sold her
while a flly to young man in the
same city. Her second owner sold
her to Judge Dougherty, of Santa
Rosa, soon after, and it was while
in his ownership that she was first
trained. That was the summer of
her four-year-old form, when Dick
Abels worked her at Santa Rosa,
and she learned to trot a mile around
2:20. So we'll did she show that the

Eastern horseman, Ed Mills, who
was then in California, secured an
option on her at $4,000 from Judge
Dougherty.
In April as a five-year old Mr..
Springer purchased her from Mills
for $4,000. Mills had been training
her right along, and when ]. D..
Springer purchased her she went a
heat in 2:15k.
On Christmas day in 1906 at Los
Sonoma girl trotted in 2:O7.
It was that mile which made her the
most talked-of green trotter in the
world until Highballs sale for s17,-
500. From Los Angeles she was sent
to Joliet, ILL.,, working easy miles, and
later to Libertyville. Her best mile
at that track previous to her race on
July 4 of the same year was one in
2:041a. On that day she turned
round for the first time in her life
for money, and was second to High
ball in 2:06A, and was separately
timed that fast herself.
