CLARENCE MACkAY

Paris, September 22.-Clarence H
Mackay's entrance into French racing
means the severance Of the partnership
which existed between Jockey O'Neill
and the American trainer, Fred Bur-
low. They have kept an establishment
at Maisons-Lafitte since 1908. ONeill
will remain as ". K vanderbilt's pre-
mier jockey, and Burlow will direct
Mr.. MackaNs spacious stables at Chan
tiliy. with which Mr.. Mackay intends
to race as keenly as his American
forerunners. W. X. Vanderbilt, Mr..
Widener, H. B. Duryea and others.
Schilling will be Mr.. Mackay's ranking
jockey.
One reason why Mr. Vanderbilt is
no longer frst or second in the entire
French turf seasons results is his
order not to buy horses which are
likely winners Of the big events. 1t
Is reported that he said some time ago,
Let men Of moderate means owning
horses have a chance Of winning. It
is common practice among the
wealthy racing men to find the prob
able winner of some 100, 0e0-franc
event In the possession of a poorer man
and to buy it. regardless of the ex-
pense, so as to insure the glory of
winning"

ARMY MULE WINS.
In Fight for Existence Against Auto
bile Truck, in U. S. Army.

Madison. Wis, June 20.-The pro-
visional regiment of the United States
army. under Col r. \. Getty is en-
camped AT Middleton. eight miles from
here. and Will reach Madison at s
o'clock. tomorrow morning. The
troops will be at Camp Randall, until
Monday.
The army mule apparently has won
his fight for existence The test of
the automobile truck as a substitute
for the mule has been extensive
enough TO justify the following state
ment from Capt. Favill:
The automobile demonstration has
been such as so warrant the conciu-
sion that it is unwise and unsafe to
supersede army mules and wagons
with the troops by any other form of
iocomotion."
Colonel Getty assented to this view
although admitting that the auto
truck Will prove valuable in supple
menting the regular modes of con-
veyancc.
