Milwaukee, Wis, Oct 11-Agitation has been started here against the holding of the 1913 Vanderbilt Cup and Grand Prix on the local course The sanction of the Automobile Club of America has been secured, but so many protests have been filed against the race that it is possible that the auto authorities may cancel the canc- ton. The chief objection is the course This is considered dangerous. Then. too, it is said the financial re- turns were so small thot the promo ters have decided not to accept the races next year.
 Added to the troubles of the promo ters is a formal complaint filed with Mayor Bading by Caleb Bragg, who won the Grand Prix. He says not only was the course in bad shape, but the proninse of the local management to pay the expenses of the racers who re- mained after the postpOnment had not been met He states. furtherm ore, that unless conditions were changed he would not return next year, and other racers felt the same.

 Out of three battles fought to date the two teams have not only broken even and scored each II runs, but each hectic, nerve-shattering battle is on to the final pitch of the final in ming and the final out where the fine. frafi margin of a hair might have won or lost all three conflicts.

Huiidiuo a Poem.

ANY man on earth can be poet IL
he tries" said a speaker at bankers
banquet, land there never was a bet
ter evidence than when the provost
Of Dundee died. 1t seems that the
provost had been a fine man. His four
deputies mourned him greatly, and
after the funeral they all got together
and decided that they should write him
an epitaph.
1T was a hard matter to decide just
how four men could write an epitaph,
but it was finally settled by the agree
ment that the inscription should be
verse of four lines, each man to write
a line. And so they started. The first
man wrote his line. The second man
scratched his head and then added his
line to the first. The third man thought
long, but finally got his inspiration and
put down his line. Then the fourth,
after much deliberation, made the final
rime, and the epitaph ran something
like this:
:" Here lies the provost of Dundee,
Here lies him. here lies he,
Hallelujah, hallelujee.
