Peter Pointer
Captures Chief
Trotting Stake

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. 6.-Peter
Pointer, who was given the hopples q
week ago and turned over TO ". Il.
Snow to drive to-day by Z. F. Geers,
his agent, because of Geers's aversion
to plotting a hoppled PAGER. won the
$4,000 Elks' Home Stake for 1905 eligl-
bles after a six-heat battle in which
early favorites were toppled one after
another and only Peter Pointer and
Walter Cochato were left for the final
duel.
Walter Cochato twice paced 2:o2h,
winning heats in staving off The Savoy.
but a break in the fourth heat gave
Peter Pointer his chance to land. He
was fresher and took the fifth and
sixth heats easily.
Drivers Valentine, Gray and McNa-
hon each were fined s25 at the end OF
the first mile for not trying to win.
The Woodman took the 2:os trot
after making a break and finishing
fourth in the first mile. He made a
new record of 2:06h in the second
heat.
Neat Little Tilt
The Ohio colt trot for two-year-olds
owned in Ohio on April 2 of this year
was neat little tilt between Rance,
the winner, and Eleven Black, OF the
Pastime Stables. Rance came through
in the stretch each heat and out-trotted
his rivals. The time of the second
mile, 2:l21s, was the fastest mile for
the -year-old trotters this season:
Rance is owned by Wilbur Myers, OF
Springfield, Ohio.
None of the fayorites won in to-
days races, and it was an afternoon OF
great sport for men who play the field.
The attendance was good for an open
ing day.
Tomorrow the Swisher and Shepard
$4,000 stake for 2:12 trotters will
be the feature, with Busy Lassie and
other good stake trotters entered.

Women Tennis Stars
Forced to Take Rest
President Adee Postpones
Match Between Misses
Bjurstedt and Browne
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

SOUTHAMPTON. n. Y, Aug. O.
Everything was set at the Meadow Club
this afternoon for the start Of the spe-
cial Red Cross ambulance section fund
lawn tennis tournament, and the turf
courts were in splendid condition for
the wielders Of the racquet.
Just after noon, however. James ?.
Lee, chairman of the tournament COM
mittee, received a telegram from
George Townsend Adee, president of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association. asking that the first of the
series OF matches between Miss Molla
BJurstedt, Miss Mary Browne, Mrs.
Robert Williams and Mrs. Rawson L.
Wood. the women stars of the visiting
aggregation, be postponed until
Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Adee took this action because he
realized the great physical strain the
women players have undergone during
the last i've or six weeks of almost
continuous play. The end of the
tournament at Seabright found Miss
Browne and Miss Bjurstedt almost at
the point of exhaustion as a result Of
their terrific three-set struggle under
torrid weather conditions, and It was
deemed best to allow them brief lay
OF.
Mrs. Wood Welcomed
The addition of Mrs. Wood, a former
champion of Florida In the singles and
former metropolitan champion in the
doubles, TO the list Of women players
at the Meadow Club, will add consider
ably TO the interest in these matches.
Mrs. Wood has been practising on the
club courts for several weeks, and IS
said to be right on her game.
John k. Strachan, the latest of the
Cailfornians TO arrive in the East,
Frederick b. Alexander, Davis Cup vet
eran; Harold A. Throckmorton, nation
al interscholastic champion, and Fred.
erick Q. lnman arrived this afternoon
late, but will not get into action until
tomorrow afternoon, as they also feel
the need of rest.
s. Howard Voshell, national indoor
champion; Karl H. Behr, a member Of
the 1915 cup team, and Nathaniel W.
Niles, OF Boston, are expected down
later in the week. This tournament
will be the last important fixture In
the vicinity of New York before the
start of the national championship
singles at the West Side Tennis Club
Of Forest Hills on August 90, although
the national doubles tourney at Long
wood beginning next Monday will give
the players another chance to tune I'D
for the blue ribbon event of the courts.

PosToFFIcE BUSY PLACE.
Christmas Business Not Quite Up to
Usual Volume, However--Fewer In
coming Express Packages.

About the busiest place in town at
present is the postofiice. There is hard
ly a minute of the day but what a
line of people can be found waiting to
mail parcels, but the volume of business
is not as large as in former years at
this period of the Christmas season. The
same applies to incoming mails. Post
master NJ. j. Moran has made all ar.
rangemcnts, however, to take good care
of any big rush which may develop dur
ing the next day or two. He says that
he is not disappointed at the dropping
off in business, as it was expected, but
of course the next few days may change
the situation.
At the American express Office Agent
Z. NJ. Stone says that the incoming
packages do not number as many as
in former years, while the outgoing
shipments are about the same. Mr..
Stone says that in some parts of the
country the express companies are get
ting it good and hard. He has just
received orders not to accept any more
packages addressed to Washington, d.
c., Baltimore, Philadelphia or any point
on the Central railway of New Jersey.

Get Wood Ready for Next Year.
bennington Banner

New England will pull through after
fashion this winter in spite of the
coal situation but next winter the case
TO remedy it is now. When there is
a real coal famine, the first places cut
Off will be where there is a plentiful
wood supply, and that means Vermont.
Only a few years ago there-quarters of
the people in Vermont burned wood
and they are likely to do so again. 1t
is no great hardship provided the wood
is dry, and the way to get dry wood
is to buy it year ahead when it is
green and dry it under cover. This
winter is the time to break next win
ter's fuel famine.

CONSERVATION OF
FUEL UNDERTAKEN
Churches and Other 0rganiza.
tons CurtaiI on Coal
School Vacation to Be Increased-Odd
Fellows and Masons Also Saving
Fuel


Agitation relative to the conservation
of fuel is beginning to bear fruit. The
churches and other organizations have
taken the matter up, with the result
that many tons of coal will be saved in
the next few months. Many persons
have wrong impression relative to the
matter of conservation. They appear
to think that the object sought is the
saving of money. So far as the fuel
administration is concerned that is not
an element in the case, the object be-
ing altogether the saving of fuel, and
those who make no effort to save fuel
now may find themselves without fuel
next winter.
The prudential committee of the in
corporatcd school district has voted to
extend the time for opening the schools
after the Christmas holiday from
Wednesday, Jan. =, which the present
calendar calls for, to Monday, Jan. Z.
The schools close on Friday of this
week. Plans for making up the extra
days of vacation will be made later.
The Odd Fellows have voted that aft
err Thursday evening, Dec. 90, the lodge
room in Odd Fellows temple will remain
closed, and all regular meetings will
be held in the banquet hall.
The Masonic trustees have decided to
hold all meetings possible in the small
rooms in Masonic temple, opening the
lodge room only when necessary, and
to conserve fuel in any other way that
suggests itself.
The Unitarian and Universalist
churches will hold union services in
the Unitarian church after the first
Sunday in January.
The Episcopal church is experiment
ing to see whether the church or parish
house can be heated the more economi.
cally, and after the Christmas services
only one building will be used.
st. Michael 8 Roman Catholic church
has only the church building to use, but
is using it in a way to save as much
fuel as possible.
The Centre Congregational church is
not using the parish house, all Sunday
school classes meeting in the church
and chapel, and meetings heretofore
held in any of those buildings are be
ing held in private residences when
ever possible.
Only small amount of coal is used
in the Methodist church, and wood is
used when heat is needed in the small
room downstairs. Most of the commit
tee meetings are held in residences.
The First Baptist church trustees are
considering the fuel question and will
meet tonight to decide upon some
definite recommendation to the church.
