report 10 the state department
by Vice Consul General William
Dawson Jr. at Frankfort, Germany,
on amusement devices in the Faith
erland," shows to what an amazing.
ly small extent the German public
patronizes this sort of enterprise.
Frankfort, with its 100000 inhabi-
tants has no permanent amusement
park. vacant lot is used by trav-
cling concerns who visit there from
time to time, bringing merry-go-
rounds and similar devices. During
fair times" that is Easter time and
the early fall these travelling amuse-
tment parks pitch tents near the rail,
way station and usually stay two
weeks at time.
There are only two permanent
parks in Germany. the famous Luna
park" in Berlin and another AT
Cologne. The fact that amusement
parks do not thrive in Germany may
be attributed in slight degree to
the large number of fetes and fairs
held every year. Travelling merry,
go-rounds, roller coasters and other
attractions visit the different cities
and towns while fetes and fairs are
in progress.
Attempts to operate amusement
parks on large scale in connection
with expositions do not always meet
with success and have often led TO
heavy losses, the consul reports.
The most popular device used by
the Germans is the roller coaster.

parks in this country. Other attrae.

Five Years For King Mcnamara.

A jury in the Fayette Circuit Court
on last Saturday found John H. King
Mcnamara guilty of voluntary man.
slaughter and fixed his punishment at
five years in the penitentiary. Nc
Namara on February 18th, 1899 shot
and fatally wounded Jacob Kellar, a
cashier for the Q & C railroad company
in Lexington, and leading chourchman
and popular citizen, the killing was
said to have been wholly without prov
ocation. Mcnamara was admitted to
bail in the sum of $1,000 and disap-
peared and was gone thirteen years
before he was apprehended, Sheriff
Dan Scott capturing him in Louisville
few weeks ago. The verdict is said
to be very unpopular one in Lexington,
many of the people openly avowing
that the punishment was not common
surate with the crime.

Judge Ford had before him last Sat-
urday seven colored people who have
been creating disturbance in various
parts of the county, and in each case
administered severe fines, which we
hope will serve to make them turn from
their evil ways, Those coming under
the strong arm of the law were:-Luth-
er, Robert and William Hunt, disturb
ing religious worship $50. and costs
each, Jesse Elmore same offense, same
dose and George Broaddus pointing a
deadly weapon $50. and costs. This
gang made things lively at a "church
rally" at Lowell recently. Bessie jeff
ers and Jumbo Dunn tried the same
caper in>the White Oak neighborhood
and drew the same fine, while Ulysses
Peters was fined 500. and costs for a
breach of the peace.
These people will probably learn from
this that it is not profitable to start q
trough house" at these public gather
ings.

Postage on Rural Routes.

Persons desiring to send mail out or
rural mail routes are advised that the
same rates of postage prevail thereon
as through the ordinary mail, that is
first class mail requires two cents for
each ounce or fraction thereof. Many
people are under the impression that a
one cent stamp takes letter out on the
rural routes, this is erroneous, and
your letter will be held for postage
until the one to whom it is addressed
can be sent card and forwards the
necessary amount of postage.

Record Office Very Busy.

The Record office has been enjoying
an unprecedented run of job work the
last few weeks, and the rush is not yet
over. Our force has been considerably
crippled, the editor sick, some of the
force on vacation, and others sick, we
have had to fall back on the old reliable
Bob Henry to help US out. The Assis-
tant Editor has been eXerting himself
to keep enough copy to keep all hands
busy, and with the assistance of two
embryo editors, Horace Walker and
Dan Elkin, both of whom we expect
sometime to see in charge of a big
daily paper each, has been able to get
out a fairly presentable paper.

Splendid Arrangements Made For A Good

The management of the Lancaster

vice of 'Dick" Barlow of Richmond,
one of the best caterers in central Ken

under contract to furnish an elaborate
menu each day, which includes old ham
fried chicken, salads, vegetables, ice
cream, sherbet, tea, coffee and an all
round good dinner, and it is to be ''serv
ed beautifully" at so cents per meal.
With this gentleman in charge no one
need fear but that they can secure a
good dinner on the ground.
The fair management is receiving as
surance every day of the intention of
horsemen from all over the state to be
here, and there will be the best show
of stock ever seen. Their midway is
also about complete, and embraces
some new and novel features, and Meth

Plenty OF Ice Water AT The Fair.

The fair management is arranging
for massive covered metal tanks which
will be kept full of good ice water,
which will be free. No fear about get
ting plenty of ice water because of the
drinking cup law recently enacted, the
old time general drinking cup will not
be in evidence, but instead will be an
abundance of individual drinking cups
which will be free and one may have
all of the ice water they desire.

Temperance People For Sullivan.

The temperance people of this dis
trict are flocking to the standard of
the Hon. Jere A. Sullivan, because
they recognize in him man, who does
things. When he was a member of
the legislature, he advocated and voted
for all temperance measures, including
the county unit bill. When the demo-
cratic leaders desired to select a man
to draft a platform, they selected
Judge Sullivan. On this platform,
written by him, the democratic party
won the most signal victory in its his
tory in this State. The most impor-
tant plank, inserted in the platform by
Judge Sullivan, was the county unit
plank, which he has always consistently
fought for, as a democratic measure.
The temperance cause needs an able
advocate in Congress at this time.
The most fruitful evasion of such laws,
as will promote that cause, is the in
terstate shipment Of intoxicating
liquors into dry territory. Mr.. Sulli-
vans record shows that he advocates
any and all laws that will promote
temperance. Mr.. Helms attitude on
this question, as on many others, is a
blank. Whether it be because of his
friendship or his inactivity, the whis-
key people in this district are support
ing Helm. The temperance advocates
believe, that these people have good
motive for so doing, therefore they
conclude that those, who desire laws
for the promotion of temperance
should cast their vote for Judge Sulli
van in the race for Congress.

KAHANAMOKU MAY GAIN PLACE
ON RELAY SWIMMING TEAM

c. N. Daniels of the New York Ath-
letic Club, Americas greatest all
around swimmer, will not compete at
the Olympic games next July.
He finds himself unable to go
abroad this summer, and asks that his
name be scratched from the list of
possible candidates.
The absence of Daniels is likely to
deal a deathblow to Americas
chances of winning the relay race, and
will be a disappointment to followers
of aquatic sports who have counted on
him to be the quartets mainstay The
speedy four from Australia may now
be counted on to defeat the American
team, and there is danger, too, that
Germany, and possibly England, may
lead it home.
Perry McGilivray, James Reilly,
Richard Frizell, Kenneth Huzzagh,

ference made by the greater number
of turns permitted by short pools, as
against those allowed by the 100-me-
ire course, which will obtain at Stock
holm. In comparing this with for
eign performances one finds that in
the 22O-yard championship of New
South Wales last winter Longworth
won in 1927 2-5, with the advantage
Sf only one turn; Healy was second
in 2:29 As, Hardwick third in 2:33,
and Boardman fourth in 1886. Added
up, these times show 1905 Is, or
close to 1902 for 500 metres, under
Olympic conditions.
In Germany Bretting has a 200-me.
tire record of 2:24 2-5, Steffens and
Ritter have done 1882 and Binner
2:33, this in 75-foot baths. Calculat.
ing the turns, one obtains for the Teu-
tons 1929 2-5
Evidently, then, on recent marks,
the Australians are over twenty-four
seconds better than the Americans,
and the Germans about one second
faster.
The one ray of hope is the fact that
Kahane mollu has been improving rap
idly under the able coaching Of George
Kist'er, of Pennsylvania. If he can
learn to hold anything like his mag.
nificent 1OO-yard speed over the long
