Rather sad is the thought that the
Brooklyn Handicap is being run to-
day and there is so little fuss about
1t. Remember, and not so long ago,
how Brooklyn Handicap day used to
be not unlike Roman holiday. Men
from everywhere were sports for a
day. Down to old Gravesend, every
body who was anybody, it seemed,
wended their way. The winner was
always known days and even weeks
beforehand, but nearly everybody
had a different winner. Remember,

do, when the noble sons of noble sires
won the great historic event. Well,

change in the number of events and

events. Much discussion is being
INDUCED in as to standardizing the
games. James e. Sullivan proposed
it several years ago and now it looks
as If it would be put into practise in
Berlin in 1916. The changes will make
small difference with us. We will
keep on winning the Olympics just

BISHOPS Oppose GIFT.
Believe That Acceptance Of Carnegie
$1,000, 900 Would DlshonOr
the Church.

Nashville, Tenn. June 2o.-At
a called meeting of the bishops of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
Soulh attended by members of the
college of bishops veto message
was drawn up, setting forth the fol
lawing objections to the action OF
the board of trust ia accepting the
recent gift from Andrew Carnegie
to the Vanderbilt medical college:
"That the action OF the board of
trust of Vanderbilt ia accepting the
gift is breach of trust vested in it
under and by virtue of the resolu-
tions of the Memphis convention
which constitute the foundation of
Vanderbilt University; that said
action is beyond. the powers of the
board and that it constitutes a d.
version of a large portion OF the
funds and property Of the university
from the trusts upon which said
property is held contrary to the
terms of other gifts to the univer-
sity and is illegal, null and void. "
In addition to 4 veto, the bish.
ops adressed a general message
giving their reasons for opposing
the gift. They said in part:
elf this gift bad been offered
without embarrassing conditions as
all other gifts to the institution
have been made We should have
offered no objection TO IT'S accept
ance. But the conditions attached
to this gift and the letter accom-
panying it which must be taken as
exposisory of lbe conditions are

not be accepted VI feaeh

filled in good faith to the donor.
"We are unwilling that Mr..
Carnegie should be deceived as
that the university should be dis
membered and the church of GOD
dishonored.

only forty three bales had been

"Yerger has stated thar he was

that he is by his silence protecting

Oct. I, 1911, and ending Sept. 80,

If they fail to do this the State will
receive the cotton now in the
hands OF the railroad and the COM

"Should these firms fail in their
