A Methodist parson, called to preach
at an out-of-the-way town in California
was informed, before entering the pull
bit, that he must be careful, as many
of the assembled congregation were
"roughs," and would not hesitate to
pull him from the pulpit II his remarks
did not suit them.
The minister made no reply, but
having reached the sacred desk, he
took from his pocket two revolvers,
and placing one on each side Of the BIZ

room and said: Let us pray"

ATLAUREL TRACK
Brian Boru Captures Opening
Event of Card from Fair
Helen in Easy Style.
ny GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Laurel. Nd. Oct -l6.-Scratches were
numerous today. owing to the sloppy con-
dition Of the track. Rain poured all night
and as a result the track was in poor
condition. However, towards nightfal q
high wind set in and the course, in al
probability. will be in good shape for to-
morrow, when the Prince George Handi
| cap, at a mile. will be run. There is con
siderable class in this event, and, M
doubt, a large crowd will be on hand tc
witness its running.
The card today was a good one, but the
scratches took the best horses out of the
races and as a result the field were small.
Brian Boru captured the opening event,
winning eaily from Fair Helen, who, in
turn. beat ]. B. Harreil a head. Fair
Helen carried the bulk Of the money, but
could never get near the winner.
Wizard Bedwel put over his usual
good thing when Laura galloped home in
the second race beating Hypathia by four
lengths. who. in turn, beat Phyllis An
toinette half a dozen lengths for third
money.
Jim Basey annexed the third number.
beating Parlor Boy by half a length.
while Milton Roblee was third.
The feature. the fourth. a handicap at
one and one-sixteenth miles, was a dis
tinct shock to the public. On form Au-
gust Belmont's Thornhil looked like the
natural choice, while Capt. E. B. Cassett 8
Spearhead was considered a contender.
However. the winner, Mannssseh, from
the stable Of c. E Rogers. gaIloped home.

in the easiest possible manner. At no
stage OF the race was the winner In
doubt. After the break he drew into a
long lead in the first quarter and gradu-
ally increased II as the race went on
James Butler. the New York million
aire, sent Doublet to the races in the
fifth event, and from the way he was
played the race looked as though II was
all over except to collect the winningsJ
However, a different story must be told.
Protector. owned by J. s. Tyree, the
Washington sportsman, got away first
and held his position to the finish Doub-
let was slow to break, got on In seventh
position, and had to run around his field.
He made up a lot Of ground. but could
not catch the winner. With an even
break the Butler horse probably would
have won.
The closing number was won by Earl Of
Savoy. while the Mycannea was second
and Battery third.
The steeplechase on the program for
Saturday should prove an interesting
event as the horses are well matched
The mutuels handled about the same
amount Of money as they did on Thurs
day.
