MAD LATTER IS VICTOR IN RACE
 AT JAMAICA

New York, Sept. 3O-Mad Halter lived up to his name yesterday at the Jamaica course when he came bang ing along in the Mineola Handicap and presented himself with the first share of the money. This excited headgear hoss beat Audacious and Hannibal, two of the best milerS in the handicap division
 There was nc fuke about Mad Hat ter's victory He allowed Hannibal and Audacious to fight it out for close to a mile Then Fator let i'm loose and in the last sixteenth he slid past the two fleet pacemakers without the least difficulty. He ran the distance in 1:45 4-5, only 2-5 slower than the track record. His conquest just again proved that Sam HiIdreth has a stan dard grasp on the handicaps around these camping grounds.
 In all probability, Mad Halter will be one of the hosses that will fight out the $5O.00O Latonia Champion ship. This animal is fresh, fit to run and possessed of phenomenal speed. He only made his appearance a few weeks go and this was his third per- formance.
 In the debut he finished second, but his other outings were victorious. Mad Halter is a better horse than many think. He convinced quite a few yesterday that he was some pumpkins

It is also desired to combat the steady How of young people from the farms to the bright lights of the city.
