All Of washington-oWned horses Mt tc
ship very far from home were In action
during the week.
W. E. Miller broke into the New Jersey
half-mile circuit on Wednesday last al
Salem with Mary Ellen in the ZIG pace,
and Virginia Augusta in the 2:l7 trot.
The good ozono mare. WANNA, won the
first heat in the pace. after which Mary
Ellen won the remaining heats as she
pleased in 2:lfl4, 2:l514 and 2:lRl, clipping
from her previous record a full second,
and the report states that she could
have gone faster.
Virginia Augusta was not SO fortunate
in the 2:1T trot, as the best she could
do was third. where the heats were
around 2:l6 and 2:17 for the mile Pitman

the second heat. Miller is now in the
third week Of his itinerary and has played
in fairly good luck. No one but Miller
knows Just how good Alice NJ. iS
But 1t would seem that. In the pacing
classes, his chief breadwinner will be
the handsome and sturdy daughter Of
Belmont Prince. Miller changed his tao
tics early in the season. in that he con-
ditioned his own horses. Last season
John NJ. Crawford gave them their pre-
1minary work, and the way they raced
(Boski excepted is proof that Crawford
did an excellent job. II the history of
1913 is repeated, Miller's luck WIN surely
be the most remarkable in the entire his
tory Of local racing.
Cray and Mott report that they are
highly pleased with the peed-producinz
power Of the Laurel mile track. and
II Is highly probable that each will re-
main there until II is time to respond
to the call Of the starter. Cray's two
year-old stake candidate, Billy NJ, is said
to be showing quite a good deal OF speed
at the trot. and Cray now hopes he win
give the Hall and Wiessner entries,
which are reported as being extra good,
a genuine horse race. Kushan, jr., and
Peter @. II. are said to be improving in
speed on every work day.

A dozen years ago, fresh from the
school Of Versailles. came young un-
der lieutenant Of artillery in his new
uniform, returning from Normandy,
where he had been to see his brother
On the train the young officer found
himself seated beside an old man, who
like himself. was going to Paris.
They entered into conversation. An
amiable intimacy was established be-
tween the two travellers. At the west
station the old gentleman, taking leave
Of the young officer, said, II need a
son-in-law like you"
Three months later the officer re-
turned to Normandy. He narrated
the incident Of the journey to his
brother and questioned him about the
strange companion.

the brother. do you know that he
offered you very pretty partner? His
