FAMOUS HORSES
ARE COMING HOME
Revival of Racing Is Bring
ing Back the Great
Runners

The return OF such horses to this
country as the unbeaten Colin, Peter
Pan, the great F'itz Herbert. Novelty,
winner OF the last Futurity. and Uncle.
among others. means much to the breed
ing industry here. particularly if those
most interested In the development Of
the thoroughbred take advantage of the
opportunities offered when these good
sires are put up at auction next fall to
settle the estates OF the late James R
Keene and the late Charles Kohler.
The revival OF racing in New York is
responsible for the turn of the tide,
which has been setting strongly toward
the turf in those countries at the ex-
pense OF the United States. The sport Is
stiIl beset with some pitfalls. but It has
prospersd enough even with only three
days racing a week to encourage those
who own good horses to bring some at
least back from abroad. where so many
were shipped when the gates OF the
tracks were closed three years ago with
the close OF the meeting at Saratoga
Springs in 1910.
Colin started Is times and won Is
races for a total OF 3160.912. and while
his opportunities have been more or less
limited In only two years of stud duty
abroad, he is practically sure to enrich
the turf. Like Peter Pan. he Is q direct
descendant through Commando OF the
great male line of Domino, and II will

business men become with the POSSIBLE

Atlanta delegation to the formal open

number of individuals will go, even if
the concerted movement is without re-

The canal VIII cost the United States,
when completed. several millions more
than the $4,000, 600 which congress
has appropriated. The charge on the
people for the investment of this enor-
nous sum will be $12,187,5OO, and for
the upkeep of the canal $3,S77.405 each
year. In the light of this the question
of tolls, which at present is agitating
the land assumes a real significance.
The Panama canal has cost many
times more than the great Suez canal,

BANDIT TERRORS

PARIS, Feb. 3.-With the palace of
justice under a heavy guard of armed
troops and gendarkes. the trial of TWEEN
ty automobile bandits who created a
reign Of terror in Paris last year be-
gan today. Vast crowds assembled in
the streets about the palace early in
the morning, but only a few were en-
abled to get into the court room where
the trial is under way. So intense has
been the interest in the desperadoes
that mnay men and women came from
distant points to attend the trial and
besieged the presiding judge for tickets
of admission.
Three hundred and four witnesses
have been summoned. OF these, $50 are
under subpenaes for the prosecution
and the balance for the defense. The
bandits. who have been receiving money
from mysterious source, employed
able counsel to defend them
There was a dramatic moment when
the prisoners were led into the court
room. Their demeanor was marked by
bravado and insolence and they glared

them to take no alarm from the threats

Less than ten per cent of the total

to be done.
About September l, then, the great

the canals length will be blown up,
and the water from Gatun lake will
