Large Number Of People Pres
ent Thoroughly Enjoy Events
GOOD TIME MADE IN RACES
Alley Wilkes Won 2:1S Race, Wilkesdale
Won 2:27 Race, and Bardwell the
2:5o Race--Races Again
This Afternoon.

A splendid program OF races was car
ried out at the Granite City driving
park yesterday afternoon before large
crowd of turf enthusiasts and in the
Judgment of many men familiar with the
racing game, the events more nearly ap-
preached the class common in the palmy
days Of the course than any program
that has been carried out at the park
in recent wears The south end grounds
took on the semblance of a county fair
with the Barre Citizens band present
and numbers OF refreshment booths, and
stalls and tents. The band occupied
the music stand in the center OF the
course and furnished music throughout
the afternoon.
Races of the 2:27, 2:50 and 2;ls class
were held and with the exception OF the
second named, all the contests were
obliged to continue through more than
three heats. Interest in the 2:27 and
|2.50 events was evenly divided with
that of the last class in which a quartet
of good speed horses, Alley Wilkes, AL
Harris, Dartmouth and The Senator,
u.
made by the contestants, and the way
in which Alley Wilkes, the fast Woods
vile, n. H., horse, owned by f. X. Kit
tredge, plugged its way TO victory in five
heats.
Frank Muzzey, the veteran horseman
from Littleton, \. H., acted as starter
and the judges were G. l.. Parmenter of
Montpelier, L. C. Hamilton OF North
Montpelier and G., NJ. Clark of North
Montpelier. The trio Of judges were
timers ex-officio Francis A. Duffy acted
as scorer and clerk of the course
At the park this afternoon at l;30, the
closing events of the meet were started.
Classes 2;35 2:22 and 2:l3 were on the
program. Early in the day large field
of starters was anticipated and many
local horse fans were looking forward
to the appearance of Al billiard, Page
Bros. fleet little animal. The same ofti-
eials were slated to act this afternoon.
The condition of the track during yes
terdays race courted little If any crit
cism and with the passing Of last nights
threatened rain. the course promised to
be in excellent shape this afternoon.

HOW, WHEN AND WHERE WAS
ROOSEVELT CONVERTED?

hOOSEt ELI CON Eh TED?
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has not
yet told the public at what time and
in what manner he was converted"
to the progressive doctrines he now
processes to believe in.
AS everybody knows Mr.. Roosevelt
was not only not known as a progress
sive 10 years ago, but he was open
ly and absolutely lined up on the
other side.
II is said that he was converted"
something less than a year ago by
J. Pierpont Morgan aad George W
Perkins. These distinguished pro
gressives" were looking around for a
candidate for president. Taft didn't
suit them, as he was supposed to be
favorable TO the copper trust, the
financial antagonist Of the Morgan
interests. Neither La Toilette nor
Cummins would answer, as they were
understood to be opposed to all the
special interests. So they agreed 10
finance Mr.. Roosevelt if he would be
a candidate. Mr. Roosevelt is a
progressive" candidate for president.
and George w. Perkins and the steel
trust are financing his campaign.
AS stated. Mr.. Roosevelt has thus
far KEPT silent as to the time and
place of his conversion" There is
mystery about this that should be
explained.
or course. Mr. Roosevelt is not a
genuine progressive unless he was
converted" and if he was convert
ed by the distinguished progressives
named, he is a perverted progressive,
not a genuine one. All his denuncia.
tions of the reactionaries all his YER
bal attacks on the Standard Oil mag
mates; all his declarations in favor
of this progressive doctrine and that
progressive doctrine, do not establish
his fealty TO them; are no guarantee
that he truly changed his political
views so clearly shown to be antag.
onistic to genuine progressivism by
his past record. The progressive plat.
form which he eulogizes, if he was
not truly converted, he doubtless con,
sidcrs merely a thing TO get in" on
There is 40 evidence of Mr. Roose
/ yelts sincerity. In the absence OF
a confession of conversion. and a re
| pentence or past overt acts in the
interest of trusts and monopolies, gen
uine progressives must reject him as
a leader.
/ But even should he tell the time
place and manner of his conversion il
would seem more modest in him t
take a seat at the mourners' bench
and be accepted on probation, rather
than be placed at the head Of the pro
! gressive party.

In this connection and in view of
the fine appearance the avenue prom

that the Tri-City Railway company
shows a disposition to persist in per-

At Newport. r. l., is house which
three-quarterS of century ago was
the finest of all the cottages" as the
dwellings of summer residents were
then called, in the town. Even then it
was an old house and full of old
furniture. such as four post bcdsteads
tables with three legs and claw feet,
high bureaus with small mirrors on
top and other seventeenth and eight
eenth century articles.
From the settlement of Newport the
property had belonged TO the With
rington family. the original WithrinE-
ton having come out from England
with patent from the government of
lands in Rhode Island.
There was one Withrington-he was

and it is calculated that the average
cost of hat would be not less than
SO. Therefore it is hoped that some
thing like $4,000 will be realized
through this means.
The ministers are trying to keep the
real estate men from showing prop
erty on Sundays-at least, on Sunday
mornings.
The real estate men retort that Sun
days and Saturday afternoons during
the summer half-holiday season are
the only days when people have time
to look at property.
While one theoretically sides with
the ministers in an effort to keep
Sunday clean of all business matters,
one must agree that the real estate
men are not wholly TO blame for
breaking the Sabbath.
/ The real estate man doesn't like TO
work Sundays any more than the min
listers want him to. But he not only
has to put in Sundays at hard labor
Il defy anybody 10 say that it's
cinch TO sell real estate-but he mus:
give up his evenings, also, to the same
kind of work
He can't invade a.busy mans Office
or take mans time in shop or fac
tory to talk real estate. He must call
on the man in the evening at his
home. Moreover, the purchaser him
self usually requires this, as the pur'
chase must be talked over with the
wife
1t may be argued that the average
man who wants to buy'a home can
take some time from his work for
such an important matter. But the
man who wants to buy home needs
every cent he can earn and certainly
isn't going to do anything to jeopar
die his job when he Knows that he
must hold on to it all the tighter now
that he'll have taxes and interest tc
pay in addition to monthly install
ments lust like rent" So he takes
the only spare time he has-which is
Sunday-to look over the propositions
offered him. If the ministers will gel
him more spare time during the weel
ne will gladly avail himself of it, anC
the real estate agent may have
chance to go to church himself.

When a man wants TO buy anything
