FRANK VAN NESS RETURNED.

The old time driAer, Frank Van Ness, who has been in France for the past ten or twelve years, and who has been in the battle zone as a veterinary dentists since the beginning of the war. returned to America August ,, in charge of eight race horses owned by John Sanford of Amsterdam, N. Y.
 Van Ness is getting along in years as he was born in Fairport, N. Y. in 1850, and began racing in Grand Cir cult company in 1872, when he brought out the GoodingSs Champion gelding, St. James, which he raced from coast to coast and sold to Lucky Baldwin for $13,000, after he had given him a record of 2:23A and won over 5,0o0 with him.
 Albermarle was his next pupil, He ] was succeeded by Bonesetter. Little Brown Jug, Rabert McGregor, Fred Douglas and Frances Alexander, be- fore Van Ness removed from Roches- | ter. N. Y. to Lexington, Ky, and began 1 developing the get of George Wilkes which was then attracting world wide attention.
 , While in Kentucky Van Ness brought | out The King. Alcyone. Albert France, Lumps. Isaac and Sister Wilkes. while 1 he was also very fortunate in getting Harry Wilkes the greatest trotter in i the family. Frank made his first
 campaign with him in 1884 when he
 won sixteen out of nineteen starts, one
 of them being s1O,OoO Charter Oak
 Purse at Hartford. At that time the
 horse was owned by W. c. France
 but Van Ness continued to train him
 after he passed to James H. Temple and Sire Brothers for whom he also raced Gossip, Jr.. and that splendid mare Rosalind Wilkes in the first flight of light harness performers. After going over to the runners Var
 Ness had a fair run of success, but
 hmis greatest triumph was scored ir
 1892 when he won the Futurity witf fhe hundred dollar colt Murello. Later on he located in the west and raced
 in Montana and California before going

EPISCOPAL MISSION COMES
TO SUCCESSFUL CLOSE

The Episcopal Mission came to q
close last evening with splendid
sermon by the Rev. C. E. Pattillo OF
Tampa. in which he urged everyone
who professed Christianity to inter
pref by their lives the facts Of the
Gospel to the world. Following the
sermon. the service was closed with
a fitting prayer of rededication of the
lives of the congregation to the ser
vice of God.
Those who attended the Mission
services feel that the efforts OF the
Missioners will bear much fruit in the
DAYS to come and that the spiritual
life of the congregation, has been
deepened. The exceptional oppcrtuni-
ty to attend sermons by the Rev
Messrs. Dayet and Patillo and the
Bishop was taken by many, who now
feel grateful to those who were the
guests of the Parish.
During the coming week, the Rec,
tor will give Instructions to the class
for Confirmation. The children's
class will meet in the Church. each
afternoon at S:15, and the adult class
will meet each evening at 1880. The
Bishop will make his visitation to the
Parish on Sunday evening, December
the 22nd, instead of on the morning
of that day as has been previously
announced. ute a number have ex-
pressed desire to receive Confirma'
ton and others may yet be enrolled
in the Glass.
