AUSTRIAN DERBY
WAS MARKED SUCCESS

Vienna. July 1.-THE great annual
Austrian Derby. the banner race of
the sporting season for all Austrian
Hungary, this year proved even more
than the anticipated success. 1t far
outdid the Derby of 1916, in general
interest attendance and sporting fea-
lures.
Many Of the big figures in socie-
ty and the smart and brilliant gowns
of peace-time were lacking. but the
threatening weather was largely 10
blame for that.
The Austrian race track crowd is
totally unlike the one-time American
crowd. The nerve-racked excitement
OF the American track Is lacking, and
when the horses come laundering
down the track-from right to left
instead Of from left to right and on
sod instead Of solid earth-there are
seldom any shouts for this or that
horse.
A feature Of the Austrian track is
the surprising number Of women who
bet on the races. Thousands of
them crowded to the pari-mutuel
bills to the cashiers, and jostlingly
thrusting their ten and twenty crown
bills to the cashiers, and jostingly
making their way after each race to
the pay-off booth. The women too
furnished sight that is not common
on an American track, for countless

paddock, or leaned against the rail

For every day l stand outside your

And bid you wake to rise and fight

Wall not for golden ages on the wane,

AT sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that

To vanished joys be blind and deaf

My Judgments seal the dear passed

But never bind q moment yet to
Though deep in mire wiring not your

No shamefaced outcast ever sank so

But yet might rise and be again a

Each morning gives thee wings to
flee from hell,
Each night start to guide thy feet

vices, and eight churches which have
erected edifces. There are Method st

WANT AN APPLE GRADING LAW

Delaware Growers Association to Ask
for New Law at Coming Legislature
At meeting of the recently organi-
zed Apple Growers Association of Del
aware Thursday. general discussion
was had as to Delaware's apple law,
enacted two years ago--the first law
in operation in Delaware as to pack
ing, grading and marketing of fruits.
This law was copied after the New
York law, which was supposed to be
an ideal one but the New York apple
growers and packers realized that
there were conditions in their law
which could not be met and an amend
ment has been made to the law in
that state which particularly applies
to the grading of apples and the mar
keting of "fancy" and "a" grades
allowing a certain percentage for
colors, size, etc. 1t was along this
line that the discussion was held and
while no definite action was taken, it
was decided to have a meeting of the
Fruit Growers Association during the
meeting of the Peninsula Horticultural
Society in January at which time some
definite action will be taken to have
the Delaware Apple law amended in
accordance with the New York law.
