A Roller Nail Buffer.

A new idea in manicure sets is the
roller style Of nail polishers. Over thirty
different kinds have recently appeared,
most of them coming in cylinder contain
ers that open at either end. and are made
in Imitation ivory as well as the metal
cases. One naturally speaks of the case,
in connection with these buffers. as they
appear to be a round wad of chamois,
and WOULD be lost sight of. IL not put
away in their tubular encasements. How
ever, they belong to the things that are
more useful than ornamental.

Cavalry Impede March.
The march was in fact an interiude
between the fighting at Chattanooga, that
had resulted in pushing the Confederates
from that place back into the Georgia
mountains, and the opening of the spring
Campaign by Gen. Sherman that would
push them eventually back to Atlanta.
Sherman's expedition had left Vicks-

Of the Sixteenth Corps was commanded
by Gen. Stephen A. Hurlbut, and the
other, troops of the Seventeenth Corps

The soldiers had been long inactive in
camp. and hailed with pleasure the op-
portunity to take up the march. They
moved eastward in two columns with
the men of the Sixteenth Corps on the
left. This column crossed the Big Black
River at Messengers Ferry and the men
Of the Seventeenth Corps at the railroad

The losses for the day on the Fedora

Fight On Familiar Ground.
At sunrise on the morning of February
the enemy began Smelling the Fedora
camps at a range Of three-quarters of a
mile across an open plain.
The Third and Fourth Divisions of the
Seventeenth Corps. under Brig. Gems NJ
D. Leggett and M. NJ. Crocker, were
thrown across the creek and advanced in
line of battle.
They made a beautiful picture as they
moved out in the bright morning light
with the sun cleaning upon their gur
barrels. They were veterans and fighting
on familiar ground. They moved with
precision and with banners and battle
flags unfurled-a solid. compact column
before which the Confederates, who were
in inferior force, broke and retired
rapidly out of sight in the direction OF
Clinton.
The advance had not been without
loss, as the Federals killed and wounded
numbered about twenty-five.
There was no further fighting on the
road to Clinton. which was reached by
the Seventeenth Corps in the afternoon
The column marched rapidly through the
town and was soon followed by the Six
teenth Corps.
Beyond Clinton the enemy's cavalry
were again encountered. They had plant
ed cannon in positions commanding the
road and further fighting was necessary
to force them back. The Federals
pressed them closely and pursued them
through jackson, which was reached by
the Seventeenth Corps that night, the

These are lean days for those who
dwell in light harness horsedom.
But unlike those who are hanging on
the ragged edge of baseball these days,
joy reigns within our palaces and peace
within our gates. Factonal quarrels and
internal dissentions are not tearing into
tatters the ranks Of light harness horse
men. The sport Of light harness racing
is on too solid a basis to be affected
by the bounding ambition ami self
interest Of single individuals. Horse
racing Is an ancient and honored in
situation wherever the Saxon tongue IS
spoken, and on no part Of the earth
has II a firmer foothold than in these
United States Of America.
There is. and always was, more real
sentiment among the men who patroniEe
the race tracks than among those who
have in late years patronized profess
sional baseball. No sport ever long en-
dured in the affections OF a people that
was permeated with sordid selfishness.
And to this sad condition baseball has,
almost, II not quite, arrived. The de-
cay of professional baseball began from
the very hour players put themselves
in the market to the highest bidder.
For this evil baseball patrons are great
ly to blame. They have persisted in
Initiating players to the point Of burst
ing with self Importance, only to learn
that they had been making Idols OF a
very ordinary quality Of clay.
Baseball may well be classed among the
manly sports. whether played by anna
teurs or professionals, and It deserves to
survive. II viii survive, and all of Its
former popularity will return when 1t
drives from its ranks the last vestige OF
sordidness. It is q truism as old as sport
itself that when a spoIt is made busi-
ness, pure and simple, 1t ceases to be
sport. Racing has had its lessons in the
past, and while some men interested in
II seem to have forgotten much that they
have learned. conditions are much inn
proved over what they were a few years
since, when an indignant people took
them by the nape Of the neck and shook
them into some semblance of common de-
ceney. Only in Maryland and In South
Carolina do the bookmakers and the man
who makes his living by playing the
horses exist to any remarkable degree
along the Atlantic coast: nor do they IN a
public manner exist elsewhere, except IN
scattered communities.
A new rival for turf honors has arrived
In town from the "OId Glory" Of which

H. Owen Thompson. Of the Western
High school, and captain OF the all-hiEh
swimming club Of the District has COM
pIeted arrangements with the manage
ment Of the swimming team OF the Bal
t;more City College. calling for dual
meet to be held next Saturday evening
in the Monumental CITY.
Largely through the EFFORTS OF F. j.
Drummer, coach Of the local schoolboys
and owen Thompson, a widespread in
terest has been created among the boys
Of the various schools in swimming.
The local club is to be congratulated
in having a coach as capable as Brunner,
of the Washington swimming club. Brun-
ner has had remarkable success In de-
veloping young swimmers, and Is now in
charge Of a club of exceptional cahber,
which is expected to land the meet from
the Baltimore lads.
In the summer of 1919, under the
tutelage CT Drummer, Fred Cherry, OF the
Industrial Home School,, and Harry
Jones, formerly OF Western High School,
won South Atlantic championships The
former won the 40 and IOo-yard dashes,
while the latter landed the one-mile
swim.
Last summer Fred Cherry repeated his
performance Of two years ago and landed
first honors in the Century dash, while
his younger brother, Sam, finished third
in the same race. The foregoing serves
to show the capabilities of Brunner, who
is to accompany the youngsters TO Bal
timore next Saturday night z. B. Ansley,
captain of the Washington swimming
club, is also expected to make the trip,
No doubt this affair is the first step
leading to the inauguration Of swimming
teams in the majority of the local
schools. The new Central High School,
years, is to have q swimming pool which
is enough to warrant the new activity at
Central, while the other schools can be
expected to enter in competition on the
strength of the interest now being shown.
Capt. Thompson and his band of
subalterns make up the first team that
has ever been sent out IN this capacity.
and keen interest is being taken as to
the outcome Of the meet
Five local prep schools are represented
on the au-high team which will strug-
gle for honors next Saturday night and
the following shows the various events
on the program:
The relay team is composed Of H. o.
Thompson, of Western; L. NJ Hunt,
D. d. Francis and R. Smith, Of the
Army and Navy prep.
Entered in the 50-yard swim are MILL
ken, Of Schaddman, and Hunt, Thomp-
son and Smith vii be seen in the DO yard
dash. while Crawford is to take part in
fancy diving. Stands, Of Western, is
