Dear Mr.. EditQr:-
Since Mr.. B. R. L. of Christiansted
persists in entertaining US with dog fights
on the public streets, it s perhaps not
unreasonable, for persons who happen to
witness these SCIENCES, to enquire as to
the outcome of the fights and the after
condition Of his dog, especially when we
are informed that the bath next morning
is performed at d remote section OF the
waterfront and that, as usual after q
fight, Butler is withheld from the gaze
of the pubic. If this continues, we may
be apt to request that the vet. surgeon
reside in town instead of in the country.

EDITORIAL.

In comment on the appointment of GER
tam natives TO public offices, West End
News OF yesterday says in part: it gives
us great pie assure to see our native broth
erS rising into prominent government
positions. 1t is gratifying to know that
the time when foreigners were given the
preference is fast vanishing on the 10
rlzon of American Improvement p licy".
The basis Of this remark is not clear,
but it appears to imply that positions IN
der the government were formerly be-
slowed upon foreigners to the exclusion
of natives. which is decidedly not the
case, Expressions of this kind are mis-
leading and should be guarded against,
for if not actually harmful, they can
certainly do no good, especially when
SO obviously incorrect as il the present
instance where it is a virtual impossible
ty tc name a single government position
which has been filled by a foreigner ex-
cept L. the department of education
where, by reason of the fact that little ma
tive talent was available in this line, and
few Danes qualified in English pedagogy,
teachers were recruited from the British
West Indies. Sons of the soil were

The language was, Of course, an impedi-
ment to many otherwise competent ma
tives, and this is probably the principal
reason why more born Cruzians have
not been conspicuous in public service
IN former years, but under any circum-
stances it is desired to give our present
government all possible credit for the
disposition shown to advance the inter

REMARKABLE RACE BY HORSE
Castor, Morgan Gelding, Finishes Long Endurance Contest With Clean
 Speed Record.

Prepared ay the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 In a 300-mile endurance contest with horses of the purest Arabian breeding, Castor" Morgan gelding bred by the United States department of agriculture at it's Middlebury, Vt. Morgan horse farm, was the only horse with a clean speed record at the end of the fourth day of the grueling contest. Castor" won third place for speed at the end of the con [ test, notwithstanding the fact that he fell in the deep sand on bad bit of road, injured his nose, and made the last five miles In a walk. This achievement is an indication of whar has been accomplished by the depart ment of agriculture in the rehabilita- tion of the Morgan breed during the few years since the work was under taken.
 The race was from Fort Ethan AL len, Vt, to Camp Devens, Mass, large ly over unlmproved roads. The pur- pose was to stimulate interest in the breeding of cavalry mounts through out the United States. A majority of the horses entered were Arabians. One was crossbreed that had seen overseas service and was the first horse to pass successfully through quarantine at Newport News. Two were Morgans, bred at the depart ment's farm. The veteran of overseas service, Bob" owned and ridden by Colonel George, led the field at the beginning of the race, but was taken out before the finish. The two Arab
