At the close of the relay race will
come an event unprecedented in the
history of track meets, an event in
which the old, the young, the middle
aged, and the fair nay take part
without money or price, provided
they have on track suit. The
management at first was extremely
reluctant to stage this event but
after repeated calls from CorsicaGa,
Ferris, and Rice has finally decided
to comply with their wishes and give
them what they want, namely a Jack
rabbit race Several sports from
Rice have stated that they believe
the muscle of man is far superior
to that of the rabbit and that their
mile man can catch any rabbit which
tee management can secure, but in
order to have this race it will be
necessary for some one to bring a
Jack rabbit to town Saturday morn
ing. And to the first one who brings
q rabbit in good condition the mana
gers will pay so cents. To stimulate
the greatest interest in this race the
management has decided to offer
SIS gold piece to the successful con-
testant. Moreover it will be arrang
ed so that the rabbit cannot escape
and the one who catches it and
brings it to either manager of the
track meet will receive the gold
piece.
Come out and see the thrilling
hurdle races, the daring high jump,
the neck breaking pole vault, and
that prince of athletes, the wing
footed Mercury from Rice in his SEN
sational race after the jack rabbit.

The calling out for service OIL the
Mexican border of many OF the brokers
and bankers as well as many wealthy
men who carry large speculative ac-
counts was ono of the reasons given for
the decided slump In prices in the stock
market Yesterday. Much of the selling
OF stocks came from these men. VINO

for u period OF time which will be
limited only by tho needs Of the coun-
try. Many of them arc active operators
in the market and at the time of the
call to arms were carrying a great deal
~ long stock. Not wishing to keep this
stock while far way from tho ticker,
they were inclined to dispose OF 1t at
concessions.
There was also the customary amount
OF short selling by tho bear element,
which saw IN the calling out OF the Ma
tional Guard the best sort Of bear capt.

tive element which was attracted to Wal
