to his bed with other ailments more
than Is months. He was born in Marl-

litigation. He acted as administrator or
trustee of many estates and handled
large sums OF money IN these capacities.
During his long illness he was cared
for by his son and daughter law, Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel H. Yeaw, who made

DAY OF SURPRISES
/ OPENS THE SECOND
WEEK AT P|ML|CO
Several Thrills and One Up
set Were Features of
Big Card.

BALTIMORE, May THAT glorious
uncertainty which makes horse racing
the sport of kings was just sufficiently
In evidence at Pimlico yesterday TO
make the days sport one of the best
OF the meeting, despite the mud and oc-
casional drops of rain. Three favorites
scored and two second choices and two
long shots also landed the bacon, CIV
Ing the large crowd satisfaction, thrills
and splendid contests
Perhaps the greatest upset of the
day was the victory OF Juverence. in
the Chesapeake Steeplechase. Cremen's
good Jumper did not have SO many
friends and went to the post at good
odds, some of the bettors getting an
much as 70 to l against his chances.
Jimmy Lane was the favorite, but
was fourth to finish, never being n
serious contender. Juverence got. n
grand start and led all the way. Gar
terman gave him a tough battle toward
the end and was drawing close on the
fat. .- ..... -s
Horror was the other surprise party
Of the afternoon, winning the fifth
event, with the price at 10 to 1 and
better. The ride Turner gave the horse
was all that could be desired.
Servicence Wins Out.
The feature race OF the day, however,
was the battle between Servicance and
Fred Mulholland, in the sixth race.
This pair started to beat 1t for the
goal line as soon as the barrier was
sprung. and 1t was a horse race alb the
way Much OF the credit for the victory
OF Servicence is due to the jockeysliip
Of little Foreaand. the colored hoy, who

The public had a pretty fair day, fo-
many persons were wise enough to back
Fred Levy to show in the 1rst race. 4
little better than even money was laid
against Levy to finish in the money. and
the public seemed to like the chance.
High Hat Was Scratched.
The steeplechase. which was at two
miles, caused most of the patrons to
rnck to Jimmy Lane. the veteran jump
CT. when they saw High Hat, had been
scratched. Only one lepper paid a
better price than Juverence, the winner
and that was Zellwood. which really
finished last. fo- Newcomer lost Heath
eItngton at tho first Jump Juv srence
opened up a long lead with Garter man
the next to show, and all eyes were
upon these horses. Jimmy Lane did
not have a chance, and finished behind
Duffield, which made game effort
to catch the leaders. In the final drive
Garterman was gaining on Juverence
with every jump.

STAR ROUTE FOR GLENwooD

Owing to some local objections the
federal postal department has aban-
doned the plan of rural route from
Glenwood to Sunlight and instead will
establish a star route which will ac
commodate more people than contem-
plated in the former plan and in many
respects will be more satisfactory.
When the government inspector was
here a short time ago he recommended
that star route be established pro
vided IS per cent of the patrons
would install regulation mail boxes.
This, it is said, will be done and the
mail will be delivered at the doors Of
the patrons along the line and at the
same time the postoffice at Sunlight
will be retained.
The line will be from here to Sun
light along the Four Mile road, then
back over the same line to the Rohwer
ranch, thence down Four Mile creek
to the mouth, thence up the Roaring
Fork river to the O,Neil ranch. thence
across and down the river to Glenwood.
