STORY WAS
PURE FAKE
DURBAR II, WINNER OF 1914
DERBY, NOT IN HANDS
GERMANS
(By Associated Press.)

London, Oct 22.-While a dramatic
story of the escape of Durbar H.,
winner OF this years Derby, from
German hands has already been cir
culated by the press, it's circumstan-
ces do not at all agree with those
vouched for by Edward Johnson, the
head trainer of II. p. Duryea S stable
at Chantilly, near Paris Instead of
Durbar being spared because he wore
an American flag with the words.
Shoot Me Not across his breast.
the trainer, who is now in London
says the Germans never saw Durbar,
nor did they see his companion,
Shannon, and the two American col
ored men in charge The reason OF
their escape, he explains, was that
during the German raid the two
horses were hidden in a shed on
peasants farm while the two negroes
lay in a protecting haystack.
For ten days and ten nights the
negroes lay in fear of the Germans.
BY a mistake in the road, they had
/ led the animals into territory occu-
pied by the invaders There they
obtained the protection Of the peas
ant, who told the hostlers that if
captured by the Germans they would
l-e mistaken for the hated Turcos OF
Algeria who had been distinguish
ing themselves with the bayonetl
work. Hence the pair would be tried t
By a drumhead court and shot dead.
The peasant promised to look after
the horses and to bring food to the
hiders During the ten days Uhlans
rode by frequently but they did not
discover the racers or their guard
ians
When news first came to Paris that
the Germans were sweeping south,
Mr.. Duryea as an American citizen,
obtained permission from the French
government to send his stock to his |
stud farm in Normandy. But Durbar
and Shannon were unequal to the
trip, as their legs had been fired and
were badly swollen. They were left
with the two negroes to follow up at
leisure Not knowing the roads, the
negroes went north instead of west.
1t was their unexplained absence that
led Duryea to think the Germans had
made capture.
Durbar will never race again. His II
legs have given away, although inn II
proved by the fire treatment. But his
value has not decreased on this ac- II
count, as he may be the sire of
future Derby winners. II

eoston's Celebration.

One hundred years ago March IS
Boston celebrated the thirty-eighth an
niversary of the evacuation of the
city by the British troops under Cen
eral Wilkinson during the Revolution.
The celebration naturally was accom-
panied by great display OF enthusi-
asm, for the second war with Great
Britain was then in progress and the
spirit of patriotism was running high.
Flags were displayed in profusion by
the citizens and salutes were fired by
the ships Of war in the harbor. A large
military and civic parade was the
spectacular feature Of the day. In the
evening there were fireworks and illu-
minations and public banquet at
which patriotic addresses were deliv-
cred by officials Of the state and city
and officers Of the army and navy.
