HOME-BRED HORSES
PROVE BEST IN BIG
MEET Ar NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. l2-Taps sounded
today at the Belmont track; the bugle
call that ended the most successful
season of racing in the entire history
OF the New York turf.
The old-timers who used to shoot
folks full of stories about the GLORIOUS
racing days of old" find today they
have been robbed of their ammunition.
Never before has the aggregate crowd
been larger; no season ever has
brought about the establishment of so
many new records; the 1916 purses, in
total. eclipse anything OF the bygone
years.
From the opening of the season on
May l8 until the curtain dropped to-
day at Belmont, each and every one of
the 80 days of racing has been n sue
cess. The crowd rarely vent below
1000 or 5000 even on the smallest at.
tendance days. At Belmont the turn
out several times has gone far beyond
10000. jamaica had several crowds
almost as huge. The Jamaica track on
three or four occasions was peopled by
close TO 5000. The Empire track I'm
Honkevs drew capacity crowds on four
or five of its 16 days: while all the
records for total attendance were
smashed during the "a days at Sarato-
ga.
So great was the throng at Saratoga
that in at least a half dozen occasions
1t was packed to its very limit. This
has caused the officials to plan an In.

sailed this afternoon for the Columbia

been closed. So the crack runners |
were sold ut bargain prices to the
Americans, who entered them In the |

showed anything. Crimper perhaps
ranks as the speediest OF the lot Of

Perhaps the best imported horse in
the country today Is Short Grass,
owned by Emil Herr But this great
stretch runner didn't come with any
real reputation. Herr liked his style
and grabbed him for S1400 In selling

him in nothing but crack platter events

much speed and endurance that he

SPECIAL FREIGHT RATES
ON WEIl.RoRINe OUTFITS

For some time past tho Railroad
Commission has had under consider.
alton rates applicable to well.boring
outfits moving In carload lots between
points In the State of Nevada. At the
present time the class a rate Is ap.
pllcable on shipments of this character
and in taking the matter up informally
with the railroads operating In Nevada
the commission urged the adoption of
the class d rate, which Is approximate.
ly fifty per cent less than the class A
rate.
This recommendation was made for
the reason that the commission be.
lleyed that by the establishment Of
lower rate on well.boring outfits ma.

Of the state in developing their lands

The following article was handed to the writer few days ago, and was so much appreciated that we pass it on to others.
 MT. Thornton is warm advocate Of the temperance cause:
 A Thought For the Day.
 Why do law-abiding men wish to repeal the prohibition law? Do you want to make more business and ex- pense for the courts? Do you want to lay more pitfalls in the path of your sons? Do you want to add more grief and tears to the life of your wife and mother? Do you say l am law abiding man? Then what is your stock argument? Prohibition does not prohibit" Is that it? Then It seems like you ought to be satisfied Or do you want a more drastic law!
 Dou you want a more severe pen alty for the violation of the law? Ii so, the very next legislature and the next governor will try to accommo- date you. Did you ever stop to oo- serve that the great wheel of CIVIC progress is ever slowly moving on, never really backward, ever forward slowly moving, yet ever moving Is there a cause for this? Yes, the great Hand of the Father is on the leader at the power house. You may think you have stopped the wheel, you can't see it move, but it is still slowly moving on, ever moving on.
