Cleverly handled by the veteran,
Willie Knapp, Cohweos sprinted the

former mark established last July by

only ll2 pounds. Cohweos, like the

more speed. Knapp had the filly
pulled into a hand gallop through the
last sixteenth.
George W. Lofts Germa was the
only competitor thai ever threatened
to make Cobwebs extend herself This
one, off winging, cut out fancy pace
for the first three furlongs. But once
Strengthened for home inside the eel
bow Knapp gave his mount her head
a moment and Cobwebs simply raced
away from the early pacemal1er as if
she had been hitcned. The victory
was very popular, as the winner was
the most heavily played fayorite Of
the day.
Sn,ite, Commander J. K. l.. Ross
two -ycar-old chestnut gclding, won the
opening dash of five furlongs quite
easily from an inferior field. He was
claimed by L. Garth for $3.50. 1t
was his first outing. He had only to
race Brynhiid, the only one OF the
field of five that faced the barrier,
into submission to assure an easy
victory.

ny VII 10 W AobH
Charity 81 one of those amiable
qualities of the human breast that i'm
parts pleasure to its possessosr and
t~hose,who receive it. Charity like the
dew Yrom heaven falls gently on the
dropping flower in the stiffness of
night. 1t flows from a good heart, re-
freshes and revives and looks beyond
the skies for approval and reward. 1t
never opens but seeks to heal the
wounds inflicted by misfortune; it
never harrows up, but strives to calm
the troubled mind. Charity is the
gold chain that reaches from heaven
to earth. Like their Lord and Master
the truly benevolent man and woman
go about doing good for the SAKE Of
goodness. No parade, no trumpet tc
sound their charities, no press tc
chronicle their acts. The gratitude Of
the donee is a rich recompense to the
donor. Purity of motive heighteni
and refines the joys of each. Angels
smile on such benevolence. 1t is thu
attribute of Deity, the moving caus
Of every blessing we enjoy. "Fai
Charity be thou my guest and be tn,
constant couch my breast"

The program to revive local Negro

first movement in that direction has
been to reorganize the Washington
Negro Business League on the basis
of $500 joining fee per member with
dues of $1,000 per year payable
quarterly with a hope that this plan
will be adopted by Local Negro Bust,
ness Leagues throughout the country.
Forty persons have already come into
the Washington League ON these
terms.
Mr.. T. ]. Galloway, an experienced
business man, has taken the leader,

will have charge of a campaign
throughout the country to put Local
