with head lowered made a shorter
turn and ran headlong into the car.
He was thrown from his bicycle and
landed on top the cars radiator, un-
hurt. A broken lamp on the car

comprised the damage. 1t is Won

REV. DIR. BLAYNEY CRITICISED
BOOK MAKING AT RACES

The congregation of the Presby-
terian church Sunday heard a severe
criticism of the conduct of the race
meeting, where book-making for bets
on the races was allowed. Rev. Dr.
Blayney praised the work of the fair
and told of the action Of the Sunday
schools in giving up their union pic
mic to help the fair. Then ne ex-
pressed forcefully his disapproval Of
the association allowing betting on
the grounds and the maintenance OF
professional pool-making. Under
the state law this is allowed for two
weeks each year on the quarter
stretch at races conducted BY an as
sociation. The fair association re-
ceived $3.50 for the privilege of con-
ducting the betting stand.

did not start in time. There are
many angles from which we may
look at the chautauqua week, but
there are three which are most ap-

second, moral inspiration; third,
the advertising of our town. To the
man who looks at chautauqHa from

considers the business end only, we
want to talk about the great intel
