MARKABLE POPULARITY


This think, is convenient place
in which to give three or four out of
large number OF instances of my faith
er's widespread popularity, as eveden-
ced to myself at different times among
all sorts and conditions of men. When
was an undergraduate at Cambridge
! was asked by a friend of mine IL l
would like to meet Charles Kingsley.
AS was a great admirer of his works.
said 1t would give me the greatest
pleasure to do SO. Accordingly, was
invited to a large luncheon-party at
st. Johns College. When l arrived l
was introduced TO Kingsley, but he
did not catch my name. and shook
hands with me as matter Of ordinary
politeness. In the course of the lunch
con some one asked me a question
about my father, on hearing which
Kingsley-who was seated at the
other end of long table-putting
down his knife and fork said, Are
you a son of Charles Dickens?" And
on my answering in the Affirmative he
came all the way round the table to
shake me by the hand.
The next incident took place at To-
ronto, in Canada. ! had been staying
there with two Of my daughters and
we were going by rail to Niagara.
When we arrived at the station
found the boots" OF the hotel with ID
hold-all under each arm and bag in
each hand, and l said to him, please
take the wraps to my parlor-car-;
I ame, Dickens"
I'm any way related?" he answered.
"Oh yes; l am a son."
Down went the hold-alls and the
bags, and, holding out his hand to me,
he said, God bless you, Sir!"
The scene shifts to jamaica. Some
years ago had to go out to that Is.
| land to represent several insurance
| Offices in some very heavy litigation
| which arose out of the fires which
followed upon the great earthquake
which laid Kingston in ruins. Ore OF
| the test cases fought at Montego Bay
quite the other side of the island from
Kingston. The litigation caused i'm.
! mense excitement, and the papers
were full of the trial and published
portraits Of the counsel engaged. One
morning between six and seven, when
l was having my early morning walk
/ saw buggy with two comfortable
looking little black people inside ii
coming toward me. AS it came
abreast of me the buggy stopped and
little black man, leaning out Of it,
said:
"Mr. Dickens, sah?"
Yes" l replied.
"Will you shake hands with US
sah?"
| "Certainly-by all means"
So first shook hands with his smil
ing little wife and then with his
smiling little self. and then they bptt
proceeded to tell me how greatly they
loved my fathers books, and, SO fal
as I could judge. they had read them
every one.-H. F. Dickens. X. c.

HORSE RACES COMING
EVENT IN TOLEDO
Fast Steppers will Contest for
Purses Amounting
to $4,000

The annual summer meeting at the
Lucas County Fair grounds track. To-
ledo, Ohio, VIII take place August 3,
4, 5 and 9, and as in other years this
meeting is expected to be one of the
banner half-mile track meetings of
the year.
In the past the race meets at To-
ledo have always attracted attention
of racing fans all over the country,
and 1t is expected that this meet will
prove no exception to the rule. From
all points Of the compass have entered
the pick of the two-lap ovals at this
meeting and it's expected that each
event will prove battle royal for
first money, as well as for the other
positions.
Secretary George Bryce, of the To-
ledo Racing Association, is authority
for the statement that never before in
his life has he seen such a mess of
speedy trotters as he has beheld at the
early meetings of the Ohio Racing Cir
cult. Miles in 2:12 or better have
been needed in almost every trotting
race to win. Years ago miles in 2:1S
were good enough to cop, but those
days are long since past, and in order
to get in the money now nag must
show a mile in 2:12 or better. An
other feature that is adding greatly
TO the enjoyment of the races is that
fact that so far almost every event
has been bitterly contested 1t is no
unusual thing for each meeting to see
an event or two strung out to seven,
eight or nine heats before reaching a
decision.
On the Ohio and Michigan tracks
a number of nags have made racing
history this year Vivetta. little
bay mare by Directum Kelley, has a
mark of 2:12h, in a 2:1S stake at
Tiffin. In the same class with her is
Hypar, bay stallion who won the
81, 900 2:14 stake at Jackson short
time ago. Jimmy Briggs is stately
gelding in Joe Gahagan's stable of
whom much is looked for this year,
| even though he has been shut out
twice this year. The Briggs PAGER
has a terrific burst of speed, but SO
far has been unfortunate enough to
break at important points in his races.
Grand Opera is Canadian entry, who
in addition to being the worlds ice
pacing champion is as yet undefeated
this season on the dirt track. Billy
Bing. entered in the green trots along
! the line, has mark of 2:13 "A as a
three year-o old on u mile oval. Ina
Jay, 2:13H is also unbeaten as yet
Billie Dale, another nifty PAGER, is an
other stake winner of the present sea-
son. Less than year ago he was
sold for $3.50 to his, present owner
William Geogin, of Celina, o. Since
then he has made three starts and
won them all.
Handy Jim is the winner of the
nino-he race at Tiffin, which caused
such a stir in racing circles, stepping
the last heat in 2:101a.
All these, and a number of othel
stars of the first water, will be includ
ed in the list that face the starter al
the Toledo meeting.
For the meeting here Bod Strader
of Lexington, KY, has been secured as
presiding judge. F. A. Upton, of Ro.
chester, N. Y, will be starter. Both
of these men are well known racing
officials.

COL. JOHN v. Wilde DEAD.
Blood Poisoning Fatal-Buried in
Arlington National Cemetery.

Col John V. Whiteasof the Coast Ar
tillery Corps died at Fort Hamilton,
n. Y. Tuesday from blood poisoning.
and was buried this morning at the Ar
lington national cemetery.
During his military career. which
started on his graduation from West
Point in 1877, when he was twenty
three years old, Col. White had served
in nearly every coast fort in the United
States. In 1907, when he was made a
colonel, he was sent to Fort Hamilton,
one of the most important posts in the
country, commanding as it does the en-
trance TO New York.
The confidence which the government
reposed in Col. Whites ability is shown
by the fact that he commanded for
nearly year the north Atlantic divi-
sion of the United States coast de-
lenses, which embraces all forts from
Maine to Delaware. This is the COM
mand of a brigadier general.
