A large segment of Washlngtonians,
especially those who admire a handsome
and well-bred horse, have seen the bay
mare Katie Bell, 2:19, and envied John
NJ. Boyd, owner Of her.
Her racing days are over, and, il Mr.
Boyd can have his way, the remainder
of her life will be cast in pleasant lines.
Katie has heard the bell ring on many
tracks in the North and a few in the
South, and knows how it feels to lead
her field to the wire; to hear the shouts
of the multitude in the infield and grand
stand, and to hear the band play .'She

With weather conditions favorable
Col. Cosby thinks that the new Speed
way will be ready for public use as early
as April Is.
The roadbed, which is thirty feet wide
from curb to curb, is slowly settling,
and as soon as it settles sufficiently
roller will be run over it, according to a
recent statement made to the writer by
Maj. Gillian, the engineer in direct
charge According to a rough estimate
made by the major, the roadbed is wide
enough for three wagons abreast, and
possibly a fourth vehicle can squeeze
in. While there is no particular hurry
on the part OF the officers in charge
that the fencing and stands be removed,
it is a subject that must soon receive
attention.
AS the course designed for the temporary
use of road drivers is trifie over half
mile in length, it will be necessary for an
engineer to measure off a full half mile,
taking into account a certain number of
feet for necessary scoring purposes, and
also a certain number of feet necessary
for drivers at speed to get their horses
under control in order to avoid collisions
with vehicles that may be going to and
fro on the Twenty-third and streets
end of the track. 1t seems to be the
consensus of opinion among local horse
men that. in view of the fact that win
ter is lingering in the lap of spring an
unusually long time for this latitude
the first matinee of the season cannot
he held earlier than about the first week
in May.
Between now and April Is there is much
for local horsenen to consider. a regu-
lar meeting of the Drivers and Riders
Association has not been held since De-
cember Il, 1910 In the meantime, the
association has been in a lethargic con-
ditiOn, which it is now time to shake off.
In view Of these facts, the president OF
the association has decided to call
meeting of its members for Tuesday even
ing next at the Metropolitan Hotel, the
hour being S o'clock. 1t is hoped that
every member of the association will
show his interest in the future of the
association by being present and will
also bring to the meeting as many new
members as is possible. There are mat
ters of great Importance to be discussed.
and the sooner they are decided the
better.
During the recent interview held with
@-ol. Cosby. the question was asked as to
,he approximate time when the horse
men Of the District of Columbia could
have a permanent speedway. In reply,
CoI. Cosby said that he did not think
that II could be had under a year and
half or TWO years. To carry out his

ments with the new naval gun, das-
tined to destroy the airships of an

day. 1t was announced that both the
new weapon and its carriage had
proved emincntly satisfactory. Fifty
rounds were fired In today tests. The
maximum range of $4,000 feet was
reached when the gun was elevated at
an angle of So degrees. The shot
flashed accurately for 10000 feet. Be-
yond that distance 1t lost its original

An unexpected polo trophy arrived
.S Co. of sam Francisco. one of the most

the California Feed Company, Ltd, of
this city, and 1t u work of unusual
merit.
The cup, which is a beauty, will be
put on exhibition In one of the stores
in town soon
The description of the cup is as fol-
lows: 1t is OF sterling silver and stands
twenty inches high, with a bowl red
wood pedestal. on one side is depicted
Il scene, beautifully executed and full
of action, of two polo players, going
neck and neck after the ball. Above
and below is the inscription, and on
the reserve side viii be engraved the
names OF the winning team.
The cup would have been well earn
Cd by the championship team of 1911,
ms all teams had worked hard, but
Peach aggregation worked so well that
the championship coulu not DC Woi
by any team, so the series ended with
all three teams tied for championship
honors. The cup is therefore left un-
conquered at the present time.
1t looks as though the cup will be
held over for next years tournament
The Kauai team is hoping to get the
cavalry team to visit the Garden Island
on New Years lay and have the
championship of the present season
thought out there.

CRAWL STROKE INVENTION
OF ARTHUR CAVILL

Many persons have claimed the honor
of originating the crawl stroke, but
II Is bcyonl question of doubt that It
was first used by Arthur Cavill. The
stroke was originated, like most great
inventions, by accident. Arthur Cavill
and his brother sydney were young
sters nearly 20 years ago In Sydney,
Australia, when they got into an argu-
ment as to which was the faster swim
mer. A race was arranged and Arthur
won. sydney, not satisfied. persisted
that his brother could not beat him
again. Arthur volunteered the opinion
that he could beat sydney with his feet
tied. The. younger brother took this
up, and the feet of the elder brother
were tied as per agreement. The race
started and Arthur won with greater
ease than in the previous race with his
feet free.
That was the origin of the stroke.
Gavin practsed 1t, and his younger
brother Dick, who was then winning
every race he entered, was given the
Idea by Arthur and brought the stroke
to such stage of perfection that
worlds records began to he nattcned
out in every race, By his great record
breaking performances Dick was given
the credit for the stroke invented by
his brother Arthur,
Prior to Arthur's invention 1t was
generally understood that n swimmer
gained the greatest momentum through
which lie brought his legs together
