The postal authorities are conducting
an investigation relative to the disap-
pearance of ten dollar bill from the
mails A resident here gave the post
mistress ten spot to enclose in letter,
bearing a special delivery stamp for
Philadelphia, but it never reached its
destination. The sender threatens suit
for her loss, proof Of which is admitted.
Uncle Sam had better come across.
A meeting of our school board was
held last week, and after deciding the
European question, and how our elec-
tons will run, incidentally and quite
casually resolved to spend $250O on an
old school building, rather than invest
ZOO in new and modern establish
ment. Messrs. Morse and Stees were in
this vicinity last week, and denied any
interest in deer hunting, but admitted
they were out looking for trouble, which
probably accounts for the belated action
OF our board at just this period. We
might grant some concessions to the
prejudice Of our visitors, but our love for
antiquities is so great that we are reluct-
ant to part with the old school house
shack, an inheritance from the DAYS of
the troglodytes. Its location, although
inconvenient, is the only pleasant thing
to dwell on, since we can hide our
shame and do not have to apologize to
visitors for our backwardness in public
affairs.
With the passing of the influence of
the old timers, progress, conversely, is
gradually gaining ground. There is a
location near here called Hog Wallow, y
and whenever a resident of that place
was asked where he lived he replied
Hog Wallow; now laugh, damn you. !"
Recently George Worth had the name
changed to Pineworth, and induced
Uncle Sam to establish post office
there, and Afessrs. Morse and Stees by
methods which would astonish stoical
Chinaman, induced the Board of Educa-
ton of Washington township to allot
the munificent sum of $500 to erect q
school house. Messrs. Morse and Stees,
still out for cash, coaxed the Haines
brothers, or boys, as they are affection
ately known, to construct the building
which has cost them 81 800, and the diff
ference they donate to the welfare aud
cause of education in that long forsaken
but now resurrected and stirring COM
munity. A celebration is scheduled to
take place on flag raising day, and the
ceremonies will be fully reported in this

"MET" CREWS WIN TWICE
Beat Bohemian Eight and Cen
tipede on the Harlem.

Veterans Dav at the Bohemian Boat
Club on the Harlem River yesterday
was celebrated by the first of a series
Of races with the oarsmen from the
Metropolt / Rowing Club for a cup
donated By the veterans. An eight
cared shell race and centipede con-
test. at one mile made up the pro-
gramme. The "Mets" won both con-
tests. The start was at the Madison
Avenue bridge. with the finish off the
clubhouse float of the Bohemian club,
where five hundred spectators gath
cred TO watch tho competition. The
series was to commemorate the win
ming Of the championship by the Bo-
hemian men at Saratoga Springs back
in 1895.
In the eight-oared she'll race, the
crews alternated in the lead until the
hree-duarter-mile mark. with not
more than foot separating the boats.
When opposite the clubhouse Of the
Ttalanta Boat Club, the Nets" squirt
ed and took a slight lead. increasing 1t
TO full length as they crossed the
finish line. The centipede race was
as hard fought as the eight-oared con-
test, with the men rowing abreast until
when 100 yards from home. At this
place. the "Mets" raised their stroke,
and in five sweeps of the oars, gained
three feet on their rivals, finally win
ming by three-quarters of length.

Wilson Warns Against
Shipping Horses Abroad

the subject calls for thorough airing
when Congress convencs."
In commenting upon the approach
ing meeting at Saratoga, which means
so much 70 the farmer and horse
breeder of Central New York, Saturday
always being Farmers Day" Mr.. VIII
son said:
"The plan Of standing thoroughbred
horses throughout New York State un-
der the control Of the Jockey Clubs
bureau of breeding and the offering of
special prizes for the get Of the horses
at the various fairs is of great eco
nomic advantage TO the state. While
the Saratoga meeting is on farmers
take the keenest sort of interest in the
horses that are racing, and they are
quick to pick out the type of sire that
is best suited TO cross with their mares.
1t was somewhat difficult to get them
interested at first, but now they realize
that there is a ready market for all the
halfbreeds they can produce.
I'VE have in view plan whereby the
farmer will be instructed in the manner
by which he can most quickly turn his
horse into money. The proper care and
feeding of the mare and foal are, of
course, essential, but the breaking and
developing Of the colt after it has
reached three years of age are quite as
important. II is amazing the change
that a few weeks handling, even by an
amateur, will make, and the fact that
halfbreeds command a ready sale IN
the autumn of their three-year form
is a factor in their favor, the farmer
realizing that he does not have TO win
ter the animal, as would be the case
with a heavier type of horse, which
cannot be put to work at a less mature
age.
at is to be hoped" said Mr.. Wilson,
in conclusion, that Congress will
hearken to the appeals of men like
General Scott, who knows the country's
needs. and that the maximum which
the government now pays for a three
year-old cavalry remount will be in
creased from Sl75 TO a figure where the
farmer and horse breeder will be en-
ebled to place horses on the market
at a profit. We will get more and bet
ter horses under this plan. and the
breeding industry will be stimulated
astonishingly. Other countries are Law
ish with their money when il comes to
the promotion of horse breeding, and
some of them give four and even five
times as much as our entire approprla-
ton for a single sire, and think the
money well spent. We have millions
for other things that do not outmeas-
ure our horse interests. This is day
when we can't afford 10 let anybody
beat US at anything, and the time is
ripe for action in connection with the
safeguarding Of our horse interests"

Urges Abatement in Export
of Brood Mares to
the European
Countries.

Richard T. Wilson, jr., president OF
the Saratoga Racing Association and
himself a breeder Of thoroughbred
horses. sounded note of warning
few days ago about permitting further
shipments of desirable brood mare
stock from this country, saying IN
part:
81 am much impressed by the plea
uttered recently by Major General
Scott Of the United States Army for
the preservation of the type OF mare
capable of producing army horses, and
Congress should take action along the
lines recommended by that dlstln-
guished officer, whose knowledge OF
cavalry requirements is second 20 none
in the country The recent intelli-
gence that Russia, during her INVASION
of East Prussia, decimated the splen-
did stud established by the late Count
Lehndorf, taking in all 10000 brood
mares of the highest class. means that
Germany, as well as France, Austria
Hungary and other nations, will be in
the market for breeding stock the mo-
ment peace in declared.
at is only natural that this country
should be a mecca for those who want
the best. We have a shortage Of thor
oughbred mares because Of the Grip
ping of racing for the past seven
years, but now that better days are in
prospect we shall speedily remedy that.
There is a lack also of that type Of
mare, with or without a dash of warm
blood. that would throw a troopers
mount if mated with a thoroughbred
sire. The question is one which should
engage the attention of the National
Security League, whose general call
is for preparedness, and if they Will
investigate the situation they will dis
cover that we are in a bad way for
cavalry remOunts.
"The fact that the appropriation for
experiment work in horse breeding by
the United States has been cut from
$4,000 two years ago TO half hat
amount for the next twelve months"
continued Mr.. Wilson. ''would indicate
a policy that is not calculated to place
| this country in the position it should
occupy among the nations Of the world.
Assuredly those who are responsible
for this policy are not familiar with
conditions as they exist to-day, and
