FAIRY WAND BOLTS
AND LOSES STAKE
Darts to Outer Rail While
Leading Her Field in Man.
=, haitian Handicap.

Fairy Wand. the speedy but III tenn
pered filly belonging to clifford A. Coch-
ran probably Is the uniucisiest thorough
bred In training. While leading her field
by several lengths In the Manhattan
Handicap at Belmont Park yesterday
afternoon she ran out" and lost SO
much ground that the best she could do
was finish third behind Joseph f. Wide
ner's Naturalist and s. c. Hildreth's
Sun Flash II.
Fairy Wand was much the best in
the race, and II II were not for her
desire to race along the outer rail she
you'd have scored an easy victory. Dur
ing the last month this fleet footed
miss has lost half dozen races she
should have won.
In her first start at Saratoga she was
practically left at the post with George
Walls in the saddle and finished a bang
up third A few days later frankie
Robinson punished her 80 severely with
the whip that she refeed to do her best
and finished third when she should have
won.
The next day with Willie Mdgley,
Jr., on her back she came back and
ran fine race, but tired near the
Judges and was beaten scant margin
for premier honors. The following week
young Midgley rode her TO victory. but
In her last start at the Spa she was
knocked out OF her stride at the head OF
the stretch by Ticket and was badly
beaten.
Last Thursday she led home a field
OF high class horses at Belmont Park,
but during the race she bolted to tho
outside fence and was disqualified.
Yesterday she got away from the bar
rier next to last, but In the run down
the backstretch showed tremendous speed
and rounding the bend took command
She was full of running and sped along
at terrific clip. three lengths ahead OF
her field. When she reached tho turn
into the homestretch she darted over to
the outer rail- This cost her at least
dozen lengths.
When Strengthened again She ran much
faster than any of her opponents. but
the ground she lost was too much for
her to overcome. and at the end OF the
journey she was four lengths behind
Naturalist. the victor, and head be-
hind Sun Flash.
The Ronkonkoma Handicap for juve-
niles at six furlongs went to Robert l..
Gerrys bay colt Balustrade. He came
with rush in the final furlong and
won by a length and a hair. Richard
T. Wilson Jr's Thistledon finished sec
ond and J. w. Mays Flyaway was
third.

never cut down.
 In a dell-like depression up in the heart of Church Hill there dwells one huge shaggy-barked yellow birch; like a satyr of the woods this tree, short and squatty, seems to be sitting on his shaggy haunches-the tree roots looking like split hoofs, half buried in ferns, and just below him, a lovely group of slim white birches appear like wood nymphs, waving white arms, lowing, swaying, as II dancing before the big Satyr. One could almost hear this tree Satyr playing the pipes of Pan.
 think I just as good as did hear him for what is woodland magic for if not for the imagination? I have always expected to steal upon mid summer-night's dream frolic in the heart of grove of pines on some lovely night in summer. This grove belongs to another owner of trees and as long as the pine blister keeps off them the trees will be spared. In the twilight or early evening 1t is a place of enchantment, and fairies are lowering all about you, but you can't quite see them, yet it is satisfaction to feel sure they are there! The clean bill of tree health, but they too giant oaks on Church Hill have a must go to thhe lumberyard. They will die under the ax like Gladiators, or like Samsons, pulling down their mighty pillars, crashing and smash ing all that lies in their way. The shaggy satyr birch is probably still playing his pan pipes to the dancing dryads before him. He too, will shake his yellow curls, and fall to earth like a hero when his turn comes.
 After all is it not better for the beautiful trees to die under then ax, than to slowly decay under the steady merciless growth of disease that saps, each year, their strength, shrivels their leaves and rots their branches? May not the centp1ies-old pines dread the insidious approaches

of the pine blister as do humans their own deadly maladies? I am sure these noble trees, if they would speak, as once trees did in druid days. They would say "Let us die quickly and become big lumber to help win the war: Leave us not to perish piece meal, until we stand like stark skeletons on this our hillside or lie rotting on thhe ground; Let us die glorious death, we that have lived so long, standing firm unshaken against the storms of centuries.
 Ye age old trees! Ye veterans of Church Hill! Ye who are about to die! We salute you! So passeth away the glory of Church Hill For sea- son we must look on the stumps and ghastly baroness of Church Hill which will have become something analogous to torn and terrible battlefield after the attack is over, but it is a consolatory thought that the sap of resurrection flows through all life that only dies that it may be quickened again. In a short time church hill will become young sprout- land, hoofs of tender lovely growing things, soft vines, and fluffy white shad bush maidens will cover up and hide the ghastly stumps and all the wounds of saw and az, even as field of battle in Flanders fields soon nipples over in 7. splendor of poppies. These fresh new bushes and sprout- ing trees will be the new generatires, just as generations of trees and hu- mans have followed, one after the other, in an endless procession of growth and decay. Death and a final resurrection for us all, perhaps even for our beloved trees. There is one, said to be, primeval pine tree that is so wonderfully and strikingly large and tall that it stands out su- preme in majesty above all the others on the lower ride of Church Hill, really it deserves "a sketch all by it. self. If the patient Editor will allow me, shall attempt a shorter sketch of this primeval monarch, before it IS laid low. It seems almost like sacrilege to cut down this great tree but it is dying, like the rest. They who have never seen primeval pine, should make pilgrimage to it, be- fore it is cut down.
