From Trotting World
by W. Ii. Gocher

unique incident occurred in an
open handicap for twenty-fiv pounds
at uotting meeting in Dublin, Ire
land, on July 20. In the final Terry
and Lord Drogheda trotted a dead
heat in 2,41. As the owners would
not divide the stakes the pair were
again sent over the course and made
another dead heat in 2.41 "a. This
did not improve matters any, so the
pair trotted another mile. which was
also declared a tie in 2:42 "a. The
owners then agreed to divide. after
having placed on record the first
triple dead heat performance in light
harness racing.
o. II. Sholes writes from Holyoke,
Colo. that unknown parties took
four horses, including the pacing
mare Anna AK Me, 20S IA. off his
range last May and he has been I'M
able to locate them. Anna AK Me is a
bay mare with a star and left hind
leg gray, half way to the hook She
also has brand on her loft shoulder
and small wire mark on her left
hind pastern. Mr.. Sholes is of the
opinion that the parties who took this
mare are ringing her.
The two-year-od pacing record
over a halfmile track was reduced
from 2;l5 to 2;l3 IA at La Harpe. H.,

MOTOR TRUCKS ARE
DOING THEIR BIT

Departments devoted exclusively to
the commercial vehicle are rapidly in
creasing in numbers and leading daily
publications all over America are now
devoting more and more space To the
m otor- driven business wagon. For
rest j. Alvin, general manager of the
United States Motor Truck company
of Cincinnati Ohio, believes that this
is wonderful and eloquent sign OF
the times Just look at the past and
then a the present condition OF
things said Mr. Alvin. and 1t will
be realized that the motor truck has
won it's honors through many years of
hard lighting for Roadway. The truck
makers of America grew in mum bers
gradually, Many entered the field !;
many dropped out The good trucks
and the reliable makers survived the
days of construction OF the business.
Little publicity was given to the com
ing and the going of companies. and
the business grew. Its house was
builded upon the rock of the Scrip
lures. and when the time came and
motor trucks were absolutely neces-
sary to the safety of the world there
were being manufactured trucks in
quantities capable OF carrying the load
of commerce and of doing the great
work of the war of aiding in the
transportation of great armies OF sol
diers in France to preserve freedom
of the world. and to enter the field
as carriers of freight in America and
thus keep business going as usual
The motor truck could never have
accom- plished these results without
that period of growth to which so lit
tie publicity was given. Recognition
of the standing of the commercial
vehicle of every character from the
little half-ton truck right along up
to the heavy duty trucks. is now
given by the prominence in the col
umns of the daily papers which is so
rapidly growing into a future. The
editors of great newspapers know.
They keep their fingers upon the pulse
of the universe, and realize more
readily than anyone else. not even
excepting the manufacturer himself,
the necessities of the times, But nee
essary or no. the truck would never
receive the support of the daily press
unless II were perfect article of COM
merce. and that perfection of detail
and construction was reached during
the formative period, and that perfec-
ton has brought success and world
wide prominence to the motor truck
at a time when the truck is an abso-
lutte necessity to the world at large
engaged in business and so generally
in war.
