The trotters have had their inning
at the Toledo Fair Grounds race track,
and now the motor cars will come
into their own Saturday afternoon,
September 18th, when the motor
musketry will volley, and the battle
of cylinders will be on.
A combination of nationalities al
most as varied as that meeting on the
European battle fields will be in evil

Teddy Tetzlaff, the Russian pilot,
will drive the most noted car that
ever came from the Kaiser's realm,
and the fastest car in the world, the
great Bitten Benz, Wilbur DeAlene,
the French Canadian, will pilot his
Marmon; Dominick Basse, of Turine,
Italy, will also be in action on one of

be called a representative of Sweden,

In one of these dances the dancer
copies with her body, and especially
with the arms, the graceful and ele
gantly powerful motions of the Cobra
snake.
Rajamal, the Hindu fakir and Jug

The remarkably fascinating music of
the wooden instruments struck with
the fingers, strikes up. The head Of
the cobras emerge from underneath
the lid; as they slowly wriggle out,
the head and shoulders of the dancer
appears, for the cobras are her long,
slender arms Each hand has two
great green stones upon the fingers.
She stretches them forward and the
bent hand looks like snakes head,
the red finger-nails like the mouth of
the snake, the stones like venomous
eyes. Slowly she winds her arms in
snake-like movements around her
body, which remains rigid as a statue.
Only at times the eyes open and seem
to watch the reptiles. Ever more rap
id become the movements. The
snakes arise and hiss. Then the
movements become more slow. The
dancer kneels fiat on the floor and the
hands with the green stones glide in
slower and tired motions, like snakes
Tie dances of "Old Japan" form an
interesting part of Miss st. Denis

the "Flower Arrangemnt," "The
Chrysanthemum Dance" "The Samu-

modern ball room dances have also
been added to her program.

RUTH ST. DENIS TO OPEN AUDI
TORIUM.

Some dances which Ruth st. Denis
will offer at the Auditorium, Toledo,
Saturday matinee and night, Sept.
18th, lean in the direction of the In
dian dances, which, corresponding
with the Indian views of civilization,
belong to the religious rites. The
artistic element of these perform
ances comes significantly to the
front, an finally, we no longer think
of India, which merely furnishes the
initiative, but only of the personality
of the inividual who avails herself so
finely of these ideas.
The art of Miss st. Denis is original
an unique. She is of tall and slender
stature, she executes the most delicate
movements with suppleness, such as
one sees only in the case of Indians,
jugglers and tight-rope walkers. Her
astounding capacity of turning the
body in ecstasy, as if she had no
bones, is almost incredible. The unique
part of it is that the dancer thereby
expresses really delicate and fine emo
tions, without in any way overdoing
it by becoming artificial. In spite of
all the refinements, she remains nat
ural and always artistic.

School Children Need Much Play.

Play is all important for the child.
Children very early become interested
in games and sports. Rarely are.
there essential defects in those which
they enjoy.
Sports may give the growing boy
or girl too long or too severe exercise.
They should be supervised just as
closely by older and wiser heads as
all other parts Of the child's life. All
sorts of wholesome out-of-doors activ-
tiles are to be encouraged, as they
furnish safe outlet for the energy
of adolescent youth.

MRS. MARY COTE is
FINED FOR LARCENY

When Mrs. Mary Cote of 100 Water
street sent her young son down into
the trap door that led to the wood
pile of Mrs. Pero, who lives below, last
Monday night to get couple Of bags
of wood, she didn't think anyone was
looking, but someone was, and as a
result Mrs. Cote was hailed into court
Thursday afternoon on the charge of
larceny. She pleaded not guilty, was
tried, convicted and sentenced to pay
a fine of S. and costs, amounting In all
to $107S.
1t seems that Mrs. Pero had a good
supply of kindling wood put into her
cellar Monday through the trap door
of the back porch. Mrs. Pero and Mrs.
Cote each have a trap door Of their
own, and late Monday night Mrs. Cote
opened Mrs. Pero's and sent her lit
tie son with large bag down to the
fine big wood pile. He filed the bag.
passed 1t up to his mother, and then
repeated the operation the second time.
All the time the Pero family was
aware of the proceedings. Tuesday
morning the wood pile had but half its
former size, and so Thursday after
noon an eventful moment came into
the life of Mrs. Cote and she saw the
alternative Of parting with SLOTS or
her liberty for 80 days. After some
remonstrance she paid her fine.
