vance of Super, Dresden and Mock
Orange. the only other starters. Round
ing the turn Bunga Buck carried Tippity
Witchet extremely wide as the latter
staged his challenge. That was quickly
successful, for Bunga Buck hung out
distress signals when Marinelli went to
the whip at the final eighth and Tippity
Witchet, in further response to Johnson's
call, moved away to an eventual one
length and half victory. Bunga Buck
had little serious contention for second
honors. Super came from a long way
back through the stretch to overtake the
firing Slippery Elm and so accounted for
third. The others were beaten off.

Personality a Champion.

Another remarkable pony, heretofore
unknown to fame. in this part of the
country at least. came into the lime
light when the novice class for minia-
t,ire saddle hacks was judged. With
thirteen good ones in the ring the chest
nut mare Personality, owned by o. w.
Lehman, of Chicago, and ridden by Joe
Durando, stood out like Norwich among
the two-year-old racers of 1921. Dainty,
without being in the least bit weak or
weedy, the bloodlike four-year-old chest
nut set herself like a riding horse and
moved like one at every gait she was
asked to CO. "They will never beat that
one for the championship" was the
comment of a famous Kentucky horse
man at the ringside as she left the
ring with the blue ribbon. The ponies
in this class ranged from IS to 14.2
hands. and the smaller ones were at a
great disadvantage. of course
Driftwood Blaze put himself in line
for the championship for saddle horses
under 1872 hands by winning in very
strong class for ladies' saddle horses at
the afternoon exhibition. If the brown
geIding can beat Mrs. Combs's novice
winner, Hazel May, and r. r. NJ. Car
penter's Twilight Hour when they come
together, his path will be almost clear to
the highest honors Of the show. They
are all very likely to meet tomorrow

horses over 14.2 hands. John p. Crozer's

NO PLACE FOR FAT MAN.
Ludicrous Predicament of Tourist and
the Result

As the result OF a serious though
nevertheless amusing incident, John
r. White, superintendent of the Sc
quota national park in California, has
issued the following bulletin, which is
OF special interest to prospective tour
lists having excessive waist measure
ments:
Since the lamentable accident that
happened to Thaddeus Brown, of Lee
moore, Calf, on August 2S, it has been
necessary to take additional precau-
tions for the safety of those visiting
the Crystal cave in the Sequoia ma
tional park
Brown, it will be recollected, is d
stout gentleman, who was stuck for
three days in HelPs Crack, about half
a mile from the cave entrance, deep
in the bowels of the earth. An attempt
was made by the park rangers to pull
him through the hole, but his cries
were so terrifying as the sharp stalac-
tites scarified the skin of his lower
waist that his would-be rescuers were
forced to desist
The superintendent was notified of
Browns condition, and personally Wis
tied the cave. After thorough exam
ination it was determined that it
would be necessary to blast him out
with TINT. or starve him until his
waist measurement was reduced suf-
ficiently to enable his passage through.
Hells Crack.
Despite the Indignation of other
visitors, who were barred from the
beauties of Organ Loft, the Frozen
Cascade, the Marble Chamber, etc,
by the rear portion of Brown, it was
thought better not to blast him out,
as undoubtedly some injury would re-
suit to the delicate formation of the
cave.
by the end of the third day his
waist measurement was reduced 14h
inches and one final pull by two park
rangers brought him through the hole
minus his pants and some skin.
'All prospective visitors to the Crys- |
tai Cave are now measured at the ad-
building at Great Forest, |
and thoise whose waist measurements |
are over 521a inches are debarred from |
the crystalline marvel of Americas |
