TIPToN THE BUILDER.
By w. H. Gocher.

Ed A. Tipton put the "trot" into the association at Lexington. Prior to his arrival in 1887 the meetings held in the blue grass city were on a par with an ordinary county fair and a few wanted the status continued even when the Wilkes boom was bringing thousands of dollars to Kentucky every week. They were willing to produce the goods without going to the trouble of displaying them to the best advantage and under the most favorable conditions. A few of them also hesitated before extending vel come hand to the nervy young man from Bourbon County when he showed a desire to change from the revenue service to racing, while at the same time they tossed him another chill by fixing his salary at about what an office boy commands at the present time. That, however, did not stop Tipton as he had made up his mind to be secretary of the Lexington race track. Also when he had made good and asked for more money, instead of giving it to him he was told to get it from the privileges. He did.
 The Kentucky Trotting Horse Breed CTS Association was organized in 1873. During it's first fifteen years it's prem lOI IdC1llS O1d IlOl dllOuIlI u as much as is now given for ten days each October. while the northern visi- tors instead of seeing contests of the quality which might be expected drop ped in to see the Kentucky and Lex ington stakes trotted and put in the balance of their time visiting the stock farms.
 When Tipton located in Lexington he saw that the day was coming when the breeder would require more than pedigree and a colt on the end of a halter to command the high dollar. In word, he believed that the buyer would soon ask what colt could do in the way of racing or speed in- stead of how he was bred At the same time he was also convinced that in order to make the colts speed worth something it was necessary to increase the earning capacity of the

New York, July 16-The stock mar ket today kept pace with latest as- poets of the war situation. Advices from the western front occasiOned moderate selling of long holdings and intermittent bear pressure, but the reaction made relatively little head way.
 Domestic financial developments were distinctly reassurinG, the rapid sale of the $50,000, 900 Bethlehem Steel note issue affordirg evidence of sound investment inquiry for nigh grade securities.
 Reduction of the Pittsburgh, Cincin- natl, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad dividend was not regarded as sympto matic of general railroad conditions, the cut, according to the directors. re- sulting from technical rather than actual reasons.
 Sumatra Tobacco, which rivalled U. s. Steel in point of activity, was again one of the few noteworthy features of the general list. The stock f1uctuated violently within an eight point radius and closed at a loss of 1-2. U. s. Steel's extreme break of l 1-4 points was half way retrieved later and related issues finished for the most i part at nominal recessions | Motors and subsidiaries were in de- mand toward the end at average gains of one point and minor metals, includ- | ing w-priced mining issues, owed their gains of one to two points to the activity of pools.

Experimental Station Team at Jewett
 City.

Sunday afternoon the Ashland base ball club plays the Experimental Sta tion team of the navy. The EXperi- mental Station team is rated as one of the fastest service teams in New England and is holding second place in the Army and Navy League. Sam Rice and his Fort Terry team is the cnly team that mas defeated the Ex- perimental team this season and that defeat came only after a ten-inning battle by the score of 3 to ?. The fact that they gave Rice such a good rub for ten innings is a guarantee of a good game. The Experimental team is composed of bunch of sluggers and incidentally it is the only team that has succeeded in getting over five hits off Rice this season, this team having accumulated six.
 Van Dyke will pitch for Ashland and Joe Hamel will be on the receiv- ing end Van Dyke has been work ing out daily and promises to be ir top notch condition for a tough battle
