SOME FAMOUS RACE
HORSES At AUCTION
Outlawing of "Sport of Kings" Causes
Breaking Up Of Famous
Stables.

New York, Sept. Sam Hildreth's
entire galaxy of thoroughbreds will be
sold under the hammer today at
Sheepshead Bay, and the auctioneer's
hammer will sound the knell of the
racing game in the East That there
is not the slightest chance of the sport
of kings being revived in the Empire
state is evident by the decision of
EIildreth, the greatest sport of them
all, to dispose of his stable.
Hildreth held out longer than any
body else, hoping against hope that
the legislature would lift the ban and
that the game would come back into
its own, but with this sessions failure
to get through favorable bills and with
the sports being sick to the point of
death all over North America, he has
finally thrown up his hands.
In the stable that Hildreth offers to
the highest bidders today are horses
which in the past have almost been
worshipped by the followers of the
turf. Among the offerings is Fitz Her
bert, one of the speediest equine rae
| ing machines that ever faced a bar
rier Almost equally famous are
Restigouche, Firestone, King James,
the Metropolitan winner; Zeus. Shan
non. Novelty. winner of the Futurity
and now a four-year-old; Royal Me-
teor, Hampton Court, Woodcraft, Wei
| kin, Joe Madden, Dalmain, Montgom-
cry Gold Blade, Burly Puggins, a two
year-old of great PROMISE Hearth

The church people in an Oklahoma
town bought the only pool room in
the place and made bonfire of the
fixtures; then the town council passed
an ordinance prohibiting pool rooms.
Now if those good people can make
sure that their young men will not
find in some dark corners worse places
of resort than properly conducted pool
rooms all will be well. They may be
sure, however, that young men are not
going to church and Sunday school for
the lack of somewhere else to 60

When Colonel Hawley of Galveston
was here with the "Pathfinders," he
said the condition of the public roads
was a reproach to Brazos county. This
was putting it rather strong, perhaps
little too strong. But unless there is
a radical change in the method OF
making and maintaining the public
highways Brazos can not keep pace
with other progressive counties.

CONTRIBUTED BY COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION.

Representatives of the various COM
mercial organizations in San Antonio
recently met and organized the Bexar
County Highway League, an organi-
cation whose purpose is to encourage
and assist in the construction of i'm.
proved roads throughout Bexar county
and that section of the state. A high.
way leading from San Antonio through
Corpus Christi to Rockport and other
points on the Texas coast will be pro-
NOTED by the league. A committee was
appointed to go to Corpus Christi to
encourage road building activity there
and an impetus was given to road
building in Nueces county by the visit
of the San Antonio men.

There was a disgraceful row after

every one of the nasty bunch who
made the muss should be elected to

Few, if any, progressive democrats
object to Champ Clark as rresiden-

The Eagle was laughed at last year
for saying that Senator Bailey would'
as soon as he decently could, retire
from the senate and go to New York
to practice law, This prediction was
based on a belief amounting to posi-

would become convinced that he could
not be reelected.

The Southwest Farmer and Investor
asserts that there are more men whose
early life was spent in an office now
farming in Texas today than any other
state in the Union. In the artesian
belt southwest of San Antonio there
are seventy.five men from Detroit and
fifty from Milwaukee who left office
positions in the North to become farm
ers in Texas Practically every man
in the colony has become successful
farmer and is reaping rich rewards
from his investments. The soil and
climate of Texas offers many induce
ments for the pursuit of agriculture
and is tempting men away from the
cares and worries of the office to en-
gage in the inviting pursuit of agricul-
ture.

TEN, win connect the city of Los
Angeles with the harbor of San Pc
dro, and will be used for the trans
portation of freight as we'll as pas
sengers The line will be some TWEEN
~ miles in length, and the estimated
cost for the round trip-just half
the present charge-and freight will
be carried at a proportionate reduc-
ton.
II is mainly for the purpose of
controlling freight rates between the
city and the harbor that municipal
road is proposed. The complaint of
the business community of Los An
geles is that the railways now in ope-
ration between the harbor and the
city charge too much for hauling
freight. The city, although not di-
rectly on tide water. gets the benefit
of the coast rate that is made by
the transcontinental lines for the pur-
pose of competing with ocean freight
rates, but il is claimed that on the
freight which actually goes to Los
Angeles, via the ocean route the
charge for the railway haul between
the hafbor and the city is excessive
Naturally. the Los Angeles shippers
wish to get the fullest possiblee ben
eft from their harbor, and the munic
ipal railway will of course solve the
problem.
With commendable far sightedness
the city some years ago acquired
the ownership of a narrow strip of
land running from the town proper to
the vicinity of San Pedro. so that the
present project will call for little
outlay for right of way. Were ii
necessary now to buy right of way
for the proposed line. the cost would
be very high. The same foresight
also secured for the city large own
ership of harbor frontage. The town
of San Pedro was annexed to Los
Angeles some time ago, so that all
of the municipal railway will be with
in the "city limits. Another feature
which helps to make the project feas-
ible is the city's ownership of a vast
quantity of electric power. which evil
soon be available from the great
Owens river conduit which is to carry
water to the city.
In many respects Los Angeles seems
destined to be the model cit" Of
America.

WHERE MOTHERS FAIL

the girl he will wed, meaning. of course
that from the earliest moments of her
child's life the mother begins to worry
ana fret about the other woman who
win in the natural course OF events
come into his life-and to worry over
her imperfections.
Unfortunately. there have been Vers
few mothers since the world began VINO

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.

Among the worlds great love stor-
les. the infatuation of Antony. the
Roman general. for Cleopatra, the
Egyptian enchantress. stands out
boldly as showing the triumph of love
over all things. This courtship sue
ceeded in changing the map Of the
world. Cleopatra was ambitious. She
practiced the coquette's art until she
had completely enslaved the mighty
Caesar The object she meant to ac-
complish was to make herself equal
ruler of the world with him. Caesars
murder put an end TO such hopes.
Cleopatra returned to Rome disap-
pointed in her ambitions. but not dis
couraged, for during her brief resi-
dence there she had formed deep
attachment for Marc Antony. This
was returned by the Roman, who fol-
lowed her 10 her home and wooed her
TO his death. Antony might easily
have become the successor of Caesar
had not his love for Cleopatra led
him captive TO Egypt. where he whiled
the time away in the company of the
siren of the Nile. until finally finding
himself impoverished, powerless and
eventually discarded. he killed him
self.
There is no doubt that Cleopatra
was seriously in love with Antony,
and that very indifference to the ac-
complishment of his ambitions. that
she in every way encouraged. led her
to finally turn away from her lover.
When Antony came To a realization
of what his fascination for the Egyp-
tian meant to him. he tried To re-
trieve his waning fortunes When
Octavius declared war ON Egypt his
former martial genius flared up and
he went forth TO meet him at sea
and the famous naval battle of Acti-
um followed.
Cleopatra sailed out to witness the
fight. but she suddenly ordered her
galley to leave the scene of action.
Antony. noticing this. and instead of
remaining at his post of duty. fol-
lowed her. and his fleet, without a
commander. was easily put In rout.
Antonys last chance was gone. He
saw his disheartened men desert him
in large numbers and go over TO his
enemy. Then. enormously. believing
that Cleopatra had betrayed him. he
broke out in wild fury against her.
Cleopatra. alarmed at his vehemence,
entombed herself in the temple of
Isis. and gave out report that she
was dead. Antony. hearing this, in
flicted upon himself mortal wound
and died later in Cleopatra's arms
Cleopatra's love for Antony seems.
however to have survived all his mis-
fortunes. and even TO have held her
long in its embrace after his death. 1t
was her wont to pay long visits to
his tomb. upon which last visit she
called on him pathetically to witness
