Grand CIRCUIT
Shortened BY
FLU QARANT|NE:
Lexington Meeting Cut Three
Days; Racing in Middle
West Better Than Was
Expected.
BY II. X. WhITTED.

The Lexington meeting came to
a rather abrupt close owing to a
health order closing all public
places of amusement on account of
the influenza epidemic, and it is to
be regretted that the program for
the last three days was not put on,
as it was a remarkable meeting.
The meeting was a wonderful sue
cess although the calling off of the
last three days worked hardship
OF the horsemen.
In times past Lexington has been
sort of clearing house; many sales
have been made there each season,
but this year it was different. Few
fast miles were shown by trotters
eligible to the rich stakes of next
year, and this probably accounts for
the few changes in ownership
Practically the only sale of any i'm
portance was when Tommy Muir
ply purchased the pacing mare,
Ethel Chimes, 2:09M. of Fleming of
Texas for $4,000. This mare was
campaigned over the twice-arounds
during the early part of this season,
and of late has been giving a good
account of herself on the big rings.
She was separately timed at Column
bus in 2:031a and looks to be a
strong contender for some of the
big stakes next season.
A trotter that showed better than
the ordinary at Lexington is the
Asoff bred horse, Constantine the
Great, owned by Levi Turner of In
dianapolis. He took lineup
mark of 2:064 and many are pre-
dieting that he will be member of
one Of the Grand Circuit stables
when the bill rings in 1919.
Small Meetings Good.
Racing is practically over in the
county fair circuits this year, but
reports from all points indicate that
it has been more popular this year
than for long time. At the an
nual fair at North Platte, Neb.,
held recently, rain interfered the
first day, but the management went
ahead with the program, giving the
horsemen a chance to race in the
rain if they wished. The weather
cleared the second day, and the last
three days were fine and the at
tendance all that could be asked
for. Racing was above the ordinary
the last three days, one of the best
performances being that of All Win
Patch, a nice three-year-old trot-
ter by Dan Patch l:55 Ia. This
colt won the trotting division of
the Western Breeders Futurity at
the Iowa State Fair in August, and
has every promise of developing
into something sensational.
Racing at Pueblo.
For the first time in three years,
the patrons of the Colorado State
Fair at Pueblo were able to see the
sport of kings" and the popularity
of the light harness horse was de-
monstrated by the increase in gate
receipts over other years. Secre-
tary Beaman is more than pleased
with the results obtained and al
ready is intimating that horsemen
may look for some $1,000 early clos
ing events with $500 offered in the
class races next year.

ARMY DAY. FOOT
BALL CAME WILL
DRAWD|G CROWD
Stock and Grain Exchanges
Will Bid Over Telephone for
Privilege of Buying Box
Seats for Game.

II am very enthusiastic about the
outlook for the army foot ball game
in Omaha on Saturday, November
IT," says f. Buckingham, chairman
of the civilian committee in charge
of the contest. Army foot ball is
somewhat different than the regular
brand. The military precision with
which the teams are trained may
have something to do with it. Two
army teams come together like a
couple of bulls. The science is
there, but buried under beef and
sinew, They have no mercy on
each other"
Between halves the spectators
will be treated to military maneuv-
ers, airplane and balloon exhibitions.
1t will truly be an Army Day, as
the affair will be called, even to the
military police who will keep the
crowds, which are expected, in Or
der.
Society Will Be Out.
Society will have its share in the
proceedings. Not only will it be
interested in the auction sale of
boxes, but society girls, decked out
with handsome red, white and blue
sashes, will sell the souvenir pro-
grams.
An effort is being made to get
Gen. Plummer to lend his presence
to the occasion.
The boxes will be acutioned off
at the Grain exchange and Live
Stock exchange. They will be con-
nected by telephone. The Live
Stock exchange will challenge the
Grain exchange to see which pays
the most for the first two choices.
then the next two choices will be
auctioned off and so on down the
line.

BERRY TONGS

E. p. Currey has invented and
is making a light tongs to be
used in picking the Evergreen
Blackberry. The tongs are light,
yet strong, and a picker equip
ped with them can get all the
berries on the bush without tear
ing and scratching their hands.
MIR. Currey also makes a bucket
holder, which holds the bucket
safely and securely, thus leaving
both hands free to pick. Parties
expecting to pick during the
coming season, will do well to
see Mr.. Currey and get fitted
out with these articles, as their
small cost will be more than
made up in the first days pick
ing. Several of the best pickers
have already purchased, and are
much pleased with the new
equipment.

DRAFT NOTES

So important is haste in regis
tering all men who will be af-
fected by the new draft law soon
to be passed by Congress, which
probably will extend the draft
provisions to include men from
1S to 20, and from 80 to IS, IL
elusive, that local boards are
completing all preparations now
to conduct the registration.
The date OF the new Regis
tration Day for these men can
not be foretold detinately until
Congress actually enacts the
law. But it will in all probable
.ity be before September 18th.
| Consequently, for their own
protection, all men within the
ages mentioned should keep
very carefully posted through
the newspapers in regard to the
date of the registration day,
This is necessary because
their will be no time to give long
notice before hand. Registra-
ton day will follow Very closely
the passage Of the bill, because
of the urgent need for more men
to keep filled the ranks of Class
1.
No excuses will be accepted
for failure to register. Even ig-
Inorance of the date of registra.

penalty for failure to register

This registration will be the
most difficult feat of its kint

for 1t is estimated that the mum

At sitting OF naturalization court
in Toledo, Tuesday, 100 soldiers of

swore allegiance to the United States
and are now enrolled as American
citizens. Lack of printed forms cut

Naturalization Examiner V. w. Tom.

government.
The court rejected II applicants
who had claimed exemption from SER
vice after they had made their first
declaration and three enemy aliens
we're rejected because of their alleg-
iances.
Great Britain furnished the largest
number OF new citizens, theirs being
a total Of 55. Other classes were: -

Greece, 12; Switzerland, 3; Holland,

Recently enacted laws enable sold

without the customary delay OF two
years residence and three years pro.
baton after the first declaration. That
there are many enlisted men who are
anxious to enroll under the American
flag Is evidenced by the records Of the

The court is authorized to claim a
fee for each man, but at Toledo, the
court waived the fee OF $500 further
aiding the work OF naturalization.
