L
News and Courier, 9Th.
From Hendersonville, N. C., to
Charleston, 265 miles, in II hours, is
the record made on Wednesday by
Mr.. John F. Maybank, Mr.. Francis S.
Hanckel, DR.. Joseph Maybank and Mr..
Mullins, in Mr.. J. F. Maybank's au-
tomobile. The actual running time of
the touring car was only fourteen
hours, which Is believed to be the re-
cord. The party left the mountain
town at 5 a. m, and arrived here at
10 D. NJ, having stopped in Newberry
for an hour and in Columbia for an
hour. The average running time was
nineteen miles an hour, which in con-
sideration of the sorry condition Of
some stretches of road, was very fast.
Mr.. Maybank made these obserVa-
tions from his spedodometer; Distance

nowadays" an old racegoer remarked
at Newmarket recently. BETS are mere
trifies compared with those Of the old
days" And certainly we do not hear
of ''plunges'' such as those, for instance.
which characterized the transactions OF
Mr.. Davies. the first bookmaker to be
called ''leviathan." who betted in tens
of thousands.
In the year 1850 he laid Mr. Clarke
e1OO,OCO to 91 900 against each Of the
three horses the latter had in the Derby
of that year. Mr.. Clarke having to pay,
while. if Barbarian had won the Derby
of 1853 instead of Daniel O'Rourke. the
'.leviathan' would have netted something
like c1OO.O0O.
One of Davies first big wagers was to
lay Lord Strafford f12OOO to f1,OOO
against The Cur for the Cesarewftch
Davies started life as a carpenter. and
began betting in small street of Gray 8
Inn road by taking half-crowns. But by
great shrewdneSs and insight he soon
, gained the confidence of the public and
the amounts he paid away daily to ready
money clients were enormous. He is said
never to have quibbled or suggested mis-
takes and such was his honesty that on
one occasion. when he found that a sue
cessful client had died since making the
bet he paid the winnings over to the
widow.
Another famous bookmaker who made
big bets. and in whom the racing .frater-
nity had the same high confidence born of
actual experience. was the late Mr. Fry
In the course Of his long and highly sue
cessful career he paid out as much as
e2OO0O on a single wager. and in more
than one instance a sum Of 41OOOO And
while he lost upward of G1OO.0OO through
defaulters nobody ever lost a penny oW-
ing to his failure to pay up.
II has been suggested that there have
never been such big betting transactions
during the last twenty years. In 1902
however when Ard Patrick won the Der
by, the Grately stable had tremendous
gamble on Pekin, and would have taken
more than G1OO.O0O out of the ring If he
had won. Only a few Epsoms ago an
amateur speculator had 912,OOO on one
of his horses in a selling plate, and lost
the money, while more recently still R20.-
600 to foOOO was laid to the stable
against the horse that won the Cesare-
witch.
Reference might also be made to Mr.
Henry Chaplin. who was said to have
made a quarter of a million when his
horse Hermit won the Derby. but proba-
blv half that amount would be nearer the
mark. At the odds Of 66 to 1, Mr.. Chap

FORTUNATE YOUTHS.
Little Heirs to Great Estates on the
British Isles.
From London Tit Bits.

From London Tit Bits.
Who is the luckiest youngster In the
Kingdom? Examination of the peerage re-
veals many interesting cases of boys of
tender years, who will one day inherit
vast riches, estates and great family
hOnors. the most fortunate, perhaps, be-
ing the five-year-old Earl Of Arundel and
Surrey, the son of the Duke of Norfolk,
who is heir to both his fathers and
mothers estates. The Duke Of Norfolk
owns $4,000 acres in some Of the fairest
English counties, his rent roll exceeding
a quarter Of a million a year, while the
Duchess of Norfolk-Baroness Herries in
her own right-owns 1880 acres.
The duke is one of Londons great land
owners, owning a considerable slice of
the southeast side of the Strand, and, ac-
rent roll of this land a couple of decades
ago was $4,000 New buildings in Norfolk
and Surrey streets have immeasurably
augmented the rent ROLL which has prob
ably increased threefold in value
A year previous to the birth of the Earl
Of Arundel and Surrey son was born
to the Marquis of Bate the uncrowned
king of Cardiff as he has been called,
whose father left the enormous fortune of
E6 600. 900. His son and heir. the Earl of
Dumfries. a bright little youngster of
six years of age. will inherit vast es-
tates which cover 117,0Oo acres, in addi-
ton to many titles. Lord Butte is the
wealthiest peer in Scotland, although he
does not possess quite SO many acres as
the Earl of Dalhousie, who came into the
title, an income Of over G5OOOO a wear.
and about I3S.OOO acres Of land. when a
boy of nine. His son and heir is Lord
Ramsay, who was born in 1904

Hauptmann and Heine.
From the London Chronicle

FROM the London Chronicle.
Gerhardt Hauptmann, the German
playwright through the banning Of his
new 'Festspiel' at Breslau by the
agency of the crown prince. is now
suffering for the crime which entailed
1ar severer punishment on Heinrich
Heine, namely. that of being great
admlrer and eulogizer of Napoleon
the man who trampled Prussia in the
dust, and. above all, insulted Queen
Louise.
Heine's "Grenadiers'' might be called
an apotheosis of the victor of Jena,
and on settling in Paris he accepted the
Legion d'Honneur from Napoleon as
well as pension. When the present
kaiser took over from the Empress of
Austria the Achilleion at Corfu the
first thing he did was to order the re-
moval of a bust of Heine from the en-
trance hail. and on being sent to Ham
burg it failed to find a purchaser. A
statue to Heine. the most popular of
all German poets, is nowhere to be
found in Germany.

Bad handwriting Is sometimes q fortu-

When he was q young man at college
he wrote two letters one day. one of them
to a relative and the other to a friend.
Unfortunately. he put them in the wrong
envelopes. and the relative got the
friends letter, and vice versa The mis-
take was only discovered when the friend
wrote returning the relatives letter and
asking what he meant by 4. AS the let
ter written to the friend and sent to the
relative contained some very biting criti-
cisms of the relative himself. Young Cur
Zon was Mortified, and waited In fear and
trembling for the explosion and iN6igna-

that came back from the relative was:
