AN AEROPLANE AND
HORSE RACE MEET
Driving Park Association
Plans Big Event the Lat
ter Part of August.

With two of the famous Wright aer-
oplanes from Dayton, o., and many
fast horses. the Richmond Driving
lovers treat like they have never
had before. The plans will be COM
pleted at the meeting of the board of
directors of the club Friday evening.
The big event will be held at the
driving park the latter part of the
month. q.
Many fast horses from all sections
of the state will be entered. The pur-
SEES are large enough to be attractive
and some good events are anticipated.
DR.. J. H. kinsey will probably 60 to
Dayton next Monday where he will en-
deavor to enter into a contract with
Wilbur and Orville Wright to have
two of their aeroplanes give exhibit
tons.
Former Local Men
The Wright brothers are we'll
known in Richmond. They lived in
this county several years and receiv.
ed their common school education
here. They have been in the aero
plane business for a number of years
and have won international fame as
aviators, taking many prizes both in
America and in Europe, SO that Their
will be no question as to the quality OF
the exhibition which will be given at
the driving park, il the Wrights will
enter into a contract.
tt is understood Their will be some
difficulty in securing the Wright ma
chimes at this time owing to the great
demand for them all over the country.
The horse races will be the best
ever seen in Richmond, in the opinion
of the board of directors. No expense
will be spared in securing the best
and fastest horses. Much interest has
already been manifested in the meet
from other points as many inquiries
have been received asking for the
date and conditions of entering.
Because of the small facilities
which the club has for entertaining
the visiting horsemen at the park, the
number of entries will be limited. At
present there are just two barns at
the park which will accommodate
about Is or 80 horses. II there ia
enough interest taken in the meet to
justify the expenditure of money q
complete and modern racing stable
will be constructed by the club SO
that next year several days TO racing
can be held.
The purses will range from $50 to
500 although this amount may be in
creased before the event. The track
is in excellent condition. 1t is being
worked over daily and is in almost
perfect condition. Work will start i'm
mediately to put it in condition as
in former days when 1t ranked among
the best tracks in the statae.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
From the New York World.

From the New YORK Worio-
For q long time past there have
been complaints of the exclusion from
public resorts of men in the uniform
of the army or navy. Three such tales
appeared in the news of yesterday. In
one case two soldiers were debarred
from a dancing pavilion at Coney Is
land. In another q militiaman was
excluded from q dance hall at Asbury
park The third tale was told in .
letter from a correspondent citing the
exclusion of bluejackets from y Broad
way theater last spring. Protests
against outrages of this kind are nat
ural enough. Instinct would prompt
them were nothing but sympathy In
volved. The uniform Of the military
and OF the naval service ought to com.
mand respect in all quarters. To make
the uniform the cause for excluding
any well behaved man or set of men
from places of public amusement
shocks popular sentiment and rouses
indignation.

A SURE SURVIVOR

Though crops may fail from year to
year
And leave US very sad,
There's one fruit, it doth appear,
That's always to be had.
In apples, peaches and in pears
A shortage may be found,
But constantly In life's affairs
The lemons passed around.
1t greets the simple signing swain,
Il scares the soldier bold.
It bids the statesman oft complain
And In finance Ills sold.
Though drought and bug may prowl
about
This sturdy fruit prevails;
It's always freely passed about;
The lemon never fails.
