"SPORT OF KINGS"
IS FINISHED HERE
Plan Now Is to Abolish
Fairgrounds and Noted
Racing Course.

Unless lovers of the turf are sue
cessful in making contrary arrange
ments today, wrecking crews will
again be turned on the fairgrounds.
with a view to wiping out the only
race track in the county. The hon
ored track of the blue bloods is to
give way to high-class addition to
Tulsa
Messrs. Younkman and Stahl. who
own the grounds. announced some
time ago that it was their intention
to cut the field Of sport into 40-foot
lots.
The bleachers, which have been
deemed unsteady for the past year or
more, have already felt the hand of
the despolers: but the owners have
held off up to this time at the re-
quest of a special committee from the
Chamber of Commerce. They say that
their contracting firm will take up
the work tomorrow II some deal is
not consummated
The abolishing of the fairgrounds
Is a sad blow to those who nurse q
vision Of the revival Of horse racing
in this city. The reputation that
Tulsa is fast requiring as a home of
blue blood horses will suffer when the
only suitable site for the fairgrounds
is ruined.
OF more immediate Importance is
the question as to whether or not the
grounds will be available for the May
day festival of the city schools, which
is scheduled for Friday. The school
authorities have the permission of the
owners to use the grounds and are

booinnlna Of Melody.

Folk song was the beginning OF
what we call melody, and the best
specimens of folk songs are quite as
perfect within their small range as
are the greatest works of the mas
ters. Their contour and rhythm
are sometimes as delicately balanc-
ed as the mechanism of a fine in
strument. And when we remember
that these melodies were the spon-
taneous utterance of simple, untu-
tored peoples, who in forming them
depended almost entirely on in
stinct, we realize how intimate a
medium music is for the expression
of feeling. People who could
neither read nor write and who had
no knowledge or experience of artis-
tic objects could, nevertheless, ere
ate perfect works of beauty in the
medium of sound. - Thomas W.
Surette in Atlantic.

Dyino In Harness.

Lord Redesdale in his reminis-
cences of King Edward VII. relates
the following of that monarch's last
days:
'1ll as he was when he reached
Buckingham palace, he'worked with
all his accustomed energy, and on
the Wednesday, when one of the
permanent heads of the civil service
was with him, he was seized with
one of those terrible choking fits OF
coughing. When he got better his
visitor ventured to demonstrate with
him and begged him to rest and
even to 60 to bed, but he ridiculed
the idea and said:
"sNo; I shall not give in. | shall
work to the end. Of what use is it
TO be alive if one cannot work?"

he headed the car for town.
He sent it along at the best speed
limit, wondering how he would ex-
plain this semiabduction should the
police have been warned.
He breathed more freely when
they entered the city again, and
presently they were at the transfer
point for suburban trolleys. From
her seat in the car the child seemed
able to pick up her landmarks, and
presently, signing with regret, she
pointed to q house which she de-
clared to be her aunts. Sidney
drew to the curb and alighted to hf1

HIt was Q terrible nice ride" she
declared II wisht I lived miles an

Sidney scarcely echoed the wish,
but he petted the cheek that vas
offered for his caress and turned
to climb into the car.
At this instant he heard an ex-
ctamation of surprise and turned
to look intn the glowing eyes Of the
rosy girl he wanted to know, the
girl Of the box party.
She had caught the child up in
her arms, laughing and crying 81
multaneously. Sidney decided thai
she was the "Aunt Mollie" fol
whom they had searched and raised
his hat. - -"- \ 'a'--:- ~''
"The kiddie lost her way" he
explained. II ran out to Mount
Holly in the hope that she might be
able to locate her home, but the eff.
fort was unavailing, and at last she
remembered that she could find hel
way from the transfer station to
your house."
'Lostw The girl laughed nerv.

The child nodded her head and
looked fearlessly at the other girl
"Betty has a passion for auto
mobilino." she added. "Father has
an inexplicable fear of it and will
not have a car, so suppose that
she took this means of obtaining q

ney quickly. "Jim and I are great
friends. May l ask him to bring
me to call some time? Then
might have an excuse for taking
Betty for a ride without tempting
her to get lost on her own door
step. It was just around the corner
that I found her."
"She deserves no more rides"
was the severe declaration, but Sid
ney offered an emphatic negative.
II shall feel that she deserves
many rides," he declared boldly, "it
you will act as her chaperon."
The pretty girl flushed, but a
glance at the eager face Of the child
decided her.

Another was added to the long list
of successful junior excursions yester-
day evening when the 1917 class of
the local high school acted as host of
the departing seniors on board the
steamer G.. W. Hill. There were 600
people on boat. The boat swung free
from Rock Island at $50 and left the
Davenport shores about Is minutes
later.
The favorite amusement of the eve
ming was, as usual, that of dancing
and the dance floor was taxed to its
capacity. II is thought that the pro-
portion of dancers among those in at
tendance this year was greater than
ever before,
A large number of those on board
were not connected with the school
There was also a large crowd that
embarked on the Iowa side of the
river The seniors and faculty of the
local high school received the Gus
tomary complimentary tickets and in
spite of this large number whose
coming did not enrich the junior
treasury, the business and advertis-
ing managers, George Adams and

larger sum was received than the $3.50
paid for chartering the boat.

STREET CAR MEN
Get A new OFFER
Indications Are That Another Meeting
of the Unions Will Be Called
Within Few Days.

Indications today were that within a
few days another wage proposition
would be submitted to the Street Rail-
way Employees union. Officials of both
the union and the Tri-City Railway
company said that the differences are
now in a way of settlement and the
situation is very encouraging. From
neither side of the controversy could
any statement be secured as to what
transpired at the all-day conference
held yesterday.
Though the present agreement ex-
pires at midnight on June l there is no
possibility now of a strike and even
should the wage differences still be
unsettled when the present contract
expires the men will continue at work.
In fact the employees are as little de-
sirous of a strike as is the company
and the public.
