SPORT OF KINGS COMES BACK
Tendency to Permit Horse Racing
Sweeping Many States, with
Prospects for Success.
BILLS BEFoRE LEGISLATURES

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.--If those inter-
ested In the American thoroughbreds will
only lend all their energy toward reviv-
ing the sport OF racing in all states
where cnce the sport thrived there is q
good chance for favorable results. The
feeling in favor Of racing IL growing
everywhere Even in Texas and far off
California bills are being prepared to
present I'm their legislatures advocating
some sort Of legislation which will cause
revival of the sport under state juris-
dlction. It only remains for those con-
cerned to bring all influence possible to
bear in each individual case, and though
success may not follow the undertaking
II is certainly worthy Of effort
In Missouri things look very favorable
for the passing OF bill to regulate rae
ing, and in Arkansas II is practically set
tied that q bill will be passed, as the
measure is being pushed forward by the
business men OF Hot Springs as well as
practically all broad-minded organiza-
tions. There is not the antipathy TO the
sport there was by a very large ma
jority. The men of this country are be-
ginning to realize that there IS not the
harm in racing that they have been led
TO believe. sssit Agsr5Na1
The war, too. has. opened the eyes Of
those who are concerned In horses OF
every degree, II has been statisticaily
demonstrated that this country has lost
a world OF money on account OF lack Of
material for remount purposes. Had
the breeding industry not been stopped
by legislation in several states during the
last ten years this country could have
| supplied at least 100 per cent more horses
! for war purposes than It has done. The
loss that has accrued to breeders has
been enormous.
PLENTY OF Horses.
IT is true there are plenty Of horses in
this country still Notwithstanding the
draii Of the last ak, months. but thou
sands did not pass muster on account OF
lack of quality. Had these been impreg.

There cannot be horse racing on I

CATTLE BREEl
TO HOLD PICNIC
WIN Gather at TiyOli Island on
Thursday. July 22.-Able
Speakers to be Present.

The inter-County Holstein Breeders
association has made all arrangements
for picnic which is to be held at Tivoli
island, Watertown, Wisconsin, on Thurs
day, July %. The primary object of the
picnic is to bring the H0lstein breeders
of Dodge and Jefferson counties as well
as all parties interested, directly or in
directly, in the Holstein industry to-
gether in order that these men who by
virtue of their calling, are isolated to a
large extent from one another, may bet
ter understand one an others aims and
objects III order that ideas may be ex-
changed, and in consequence, good will
and better knowledge of the work OF
rearing Holsteins may result
But the officers have not stopped at
this. They propose to have present some
of the most able speakers in the Holstein
fraternity Such men as Superintendent
Gardner of the advanced Registry of the
H0lsteln Friesian association, and DR..
Sayill, vice president of the same organ
ization as well as other prominent speak
ers, which cannot help make it we'll
worth while for every Holstein breeder
grade or pure bred-to attend this
gathering.
This picnic is in no sense a money
making proposition. The aim is to in
struct and incidentally create more
congenial social atmosphere among men
engaged in the same activity. With
these aims in view the HoIstein associ-
alton of the vicinity invites all to at
tend their picnic at TivOli island in Wa
tertown on July %, that by social con-
course you may become better satisfied
with your work, more enlightened on
the difficulties surrounding it, and better
acquainted with your neighbors.
Lunch will be served at noon. Re-
freshments will also be Oh hand for
those desiring them.

YOUNG men ROB
A CASH DRAWER
Bold Game Played at SChmutZler
& OestreiCh'S Furniture
Store.

A bold robbery was perpetrated at the
furniture store of SchmutZIer q Oestreich
last Friday and as result the firm Is
out $18 i'm cash, check and a money
order
A young man entered the store and
asked about some lawn swings, Oscar
SchmutZler answered his questions, but
did not 60 with him. Later the same
fellow entered the store and asked to see
some springs and mattresses. He was
taken upstairs and after very cursOry
glimpse at the stock inquired about go
carts, which he saw further toward the
front of the store. The young man
aroused Mr.. Schmutzlers suspicious and
as soon as he had escorted him to the
front door he fastened to the safe and
saw that the cash drawer had been loot
ed
A short time before the robbery, a
young man had entered the store and
rendered a $40 bill in payment for %
cent bottle OF furniture polish. Mr..
SchmutZler was unable to change tile
bill, and the man left, saying he would
return later, which he evidently did to
OOt the cash drawer of the safe.
Leonard 0estreich of the company was
in the store at the time of the robbery,
but was busy in the basement.
Police officers were notified at once,
and were on the ground within five
minutes after the safe was looted, but
we're unable to locate the thieves, though
all trains and interurban cars were
watched all afternoon and night.
A young man whose description tallies
with that of the man who offered to buy
the furniture polish of Mr.. Schmutzler,
left a package at Louis Eggergluess'
buffet This was examined and found
to contain bottle of furniture polish.
This bottle OF polish had been pur
chased of Carl F. Nowack. The purchas-
er rendered $50 bill in payment, but
when Mr.. Nowack reached for his hip
pocket, the young man produced five
nickels.
