THE HORSE "MR. HINMAN"
is DOING GREAT WORK
Carrying OFF the Money in Nearly Every
Race He Enters--Is Owned
In Lancaster.

The fast young trotting horse,
"Mr. Human, sired by the famous
trotting stallion Bill Hinman, so
we'll known in this section, is MAX
ing a great race record this season
and is carrying off the honors and the
money in nearly every race in which
he is entered. Expert horsemen pro-
nounce 'Mr. Human" the best horse
that is racing on the half mile tracks
in Wisconsin this year. He is owned
by W. B. Dyer, of this city, and c.
A. and Edward Perrin, of Beetown.
The horse is being handled by Mr..
Dyer who is an expert driver and
horseman Mr.. Dyer furnishes The
Herald with the following particulars
concerning the horses performances
this year:
His 1st start was in $500 stake
race at Reedsburg where he got End
money but won one heat and took
record of 2:2115. The following week
at Hillsboro he won $500 stake over
the same field of horses, but lost the
1st heat to the horse that won at
ReedsDurg. The next day he was
shipped from there to Milwaukee and
got there the following day, just in
/ time TO race. and he won $500 purse
there in straight heats and lowered
his mark to 3 :2015. The following
week he won $500 purse at Darling
ton which took heats to decide. He
was beaten the 1st and End heats in
:1715. and won the Sd heat in :16T,
which is still his record; the 1st
three quarters of his mile was trotted
at 2 :13 clip, then his opponent made
break and Mr.. Human finished in
jog and could have finished around
2 IA. Next start was at Fond du Lac
for a $500 purse which he won, but
it took 4 heats to decide and he drove
his opponent to record 1862 there
the 2nd heat. Last week he started
at Plymouth for a $500 purse which he
won in straight heats with ease, the
best heat being in 2 :22. He was to
start back on Friday in the 2 10 trot
but rain was the cause of the meeting
being declared off. His next start
will be for a $500 purse in Illinois.
then his next for an $500 stake at
Madison.
I didn't enter him in the $500 stake
at Monroe. as it was the week of Lam
caster Fair and / expected to start
him there but his record now makes
him ineligible for any class they have
so am cut out of good stake for
that week the week after Madison
he goes to Iowa then back to Platte
willie. He has beaten all Of the best
trUtters in his class in the state viz. !:
Red Band. Dallas, Ernest AXtell,
Wyn On, Mrs Bowel and many
Others and as 4-year-old has shown
himself to be absolutely the best that
has yet appeared in Wisconsin over
the half mile tracks Mr. Human is
the main topic among race goers
wherever he has appeared. If he
meets lis Waterloo in his class the
one that beats him will know they
have been to horse race. Mr.. Hin
man s winnings to date are $1045.

MESSENGER BOY
GOT WRONG "KID.'
Boy Sent on an Errand by Sheriff Hymer
Misunderstood His Instructions.

An incident that was amusing in
sJme of it's features occurred here
last Friday. Sheriff Hymer, who
was about to make a careful search of
the prisoners and their quarters in the
county Jail, desired the services of
NARROW Kidd, former deputy sheriff,
to assist him. Mr. Kidd was at work
in the south part of the city and one
of the Hudson boys was given ten
cents and sent upon the Grand
Find Malow Kidd and tell him I
want to see him right away" said
the sheriff. The boy misunderstood
his instructions and went TO the resi-
dence of DR.. G. G. NARROW, and
when his little son, Arthur, came to
the door. the messenger boy told him
the sheriff wanted him at the court
house. OF course the boy was
frightened, and bis sister Algie ac-
companied him, to see what was the
matter When they arrived at the
court house, the messenger boy, proud
in the knowledge Of duty well per-
formed, said to the sheriff Heres the
NARROW kid; [ brought him. all
right - Explanations at once fol-
lowed and Miss NARROW took her
brother home. It was only mistake
but it brought considerable worry for
q little while to the boy IS mother and
sister.

The Curtiss Exhibition Company
of New York is large and suppos-
eddy reliable concern, which is hand
ling aerial exhibitions all over the
country, having many aviators and
many machines constantly employed
all over the Union. When anything
has happened to any of these ma
chimes or people, the company has
always seemed able to supply others
in their places in order to carry out
their contracts.
The rumor last week that the
death of Frisbie, the Curtiss aviator,
whom it was supposed the company
would send here to make the Ian
caster flights, would prevent the ex
libition taking place, it was not be
lieved by the fair officials nor our
citizens. The belief IN the ability
and integrity of the Curtiss com
9any was implicit that they would
nave another outfit here in accord
ance with their contract.
Therefore, when telegram was
received from the Curtiss company
)I New DIX MOludX dlUGIuOODs
tating that because of the aviator's
leath they must cancel the Lancas-
er contract, the message brought
CONSERVATION to all concerned.
Dozens of kilograms were sent to
New York by the society and local
business people Monday evening,
protesting against this action, and
demanding that the company carry
0ut its contract with the fair man
cement. 1t was suggested to the
company that an aviator, who was
It Marshalltown, Iowa, Monday and
Tuesday, should be sent here to
make the flights It was pointed
)ut in the kilograms that in case the
aviation company failed to fulfill it's
contract 1t would result in great in

PLEASES BIG HOUSE
characteristic Concert Given
by Motel Choir.
MISS Stencil THE SOLOIST
Organization Under Direction of
Otto Torney Simon Renders Ex-
Music Before Audience Which Fills
Memorial Continental Hall.

The Motel Choir. Otto Torney Simon
conductor. gave a characteristic concert
last evening in Memorial Continental Hal
before an audience which filed every seat
and much of the standing room. 1t was
an audience of music lovers and con-
nOisseurs, and the taste for classic mu-
sic was well satisfied The soloist of the
evening was Miss Alma Stencil. pianist,
OF New York, who essayed to play a
group of Chopin etudes. A fiat major.
+ minor, G fiat major. and 4 minor,
! and for an encore the one famliarly
known as the black key etude. a
second group were Gluck-Saint-Saens'
Air de Ballet. from "AIcest.' and the
StraussTausig Valse Caprice. and. as an
encore. Mendelssohn's "On Wings of
Song" Miss Stencil was happier in hec
second group than in the Chopin Man,
bers. She has admirable technique, but
plays frequently with a stiff wrist, and
often in too much of a hurry.
Parts Well Balanced.
The chorus. under Mr.. Simon's skillful
direction, and with the equally skillful
accompaniment of Mrs. Simon, sang
most beautifully from the beginning to
the end of their programme. Their
pianisSimos are well-nigh perfect, and
their attacks and finishes are as artistic
as choral work can be made. The parts
are well balanced, and they sing almost
as one voice. 1t was only in the final
number. the 'Hallelujah Chorus" from
Beethoven's Christ on the Mount of
Olives" that there was the least harsh
ness of tone.
Their three opening choruSes were par
ticularly beautiful. They were all works
of Russian composers. Sunrise" and
folk song by Taneyef. and Sun and
Moon by Gretchaninoff They were
gems and exqusitely sung by this body
of singers. The other numbers were
Bach's chorus and chorale from Sleep
ers, Awake" three choruses from Rubin
STEMS Tower of Babel'.' (songs of the
Sons of Shem. Ham. ad Japeth), and
DIR. Arne's chorus, Where the Bee
Sucks There Lurk l." The Rubinstein
choruses were very interesting and dis
tinctive and skillfully sung. The lights
apd shades were given with much ar
tistic finish and tone color.
Accompa niments Delightful.
Too much praise can scarcely be given
the members of this organization for the
class OF music they study and give the
Washington public an opportunity of
hearing. Their delicate, graceful work in
the chorus Where the Bee Sucks There
Lurk l. aroused such enthusiasm they
were obliged to repeat the last half of it
Mrs. SimOn's accompanim were a de-
light and made much OF the success of
the choral work.
This organization is supported solely by
subscription. and has a long list of sus-
tanning members prominent in official and
resident society, as we'll as among the
leading musicians. Among the patrons
and patronesses are DR.. and Mrs. Duncan
