turf the present day record holder,
Peter Manning. 1:57A. His son. Dill
Ion Axworthy. 2:1oA at three years,
is the head of the stud Of A. B.
Coke of Paoli, Pennsylvania, whicn
annually sends Juveniles OF extraor-
binary quality to the races, winning
a generous share of the Futurities
and Breeders Stakes on the Grand
Circuit. Among those from the Coke
stud in the past season were Helen
Dillon, 2.0SA at two years, and Mel
son Dillon, 2:05A at three years,
winner of the Horseman's Futurity.
Daughters of Axworthy sent many
winners to the races in 1921, among
the best being Gear Worthy, 2.0S%;
the worlds champion three-year-old
gelding. He is out of Baby Worthy,
2:21A, and she in turn was out of a
daughter Of Bouncer. 2:09, raced for
many seasons by WILLIAM SIMPSON.
Klio, 2.06% at four years, is also
out of an Axworthy dam, and so is
Silvie Brooke, 2:0SA at three years,
one of the stars OF her age in the
stable Of GEORGE JOHNSON Of Enid
colt, New York.
Undoubtedly the greatest of Az
worthy's daughters on the racetrack
was Hamburg Belle, which In 1909
established worlds record for con-
secutive heats in a race when she
trotted in 2:01A and 2:01%.
While the Electioneer and Peter
the Great families have their ad-
mirers, Axworthy has done his share
to make the trotter one of our ma

that the metal or cement collar is
in the last stages of its life.
Let us now assume, however, that
the householder, with dexterity ac-
quired only by long suburban resi-
dence, has got both ends Of the pipe
into their respective holes and has
only to wire the pipe securely to the
ceiling. AS his hands and shoulders
are engaged in pose resembling
that Of Atlas or w. J. BRYAN and
he has not learned to tie wire with
his teeth he must call for help. Call

scaffolding for the pipe-first having

with replacement and wiring.
Lighting the fire itself is simple
enough. Two crushed grape baskets,

kindling. When this has burned to

The venting of a radiator upstairs is
followed by the venting Of one down.
The second act empties the upstairs
radiator, which fills with air and has
to be vented again. Creeping often
into the far corner Of an upstairs
closet with searchlight to scan the
water gauge of the tank is not the
least fascinating part Of the sport.
On returning to the cellar after the
radiators and the tank are in perfect
condition it Is invariably found that
the fire has gone out and that more
kindlings must be made. But as
dumping the CRATE is an exercise

She Wishes to Meet the Now Famous
P0ultryman.


To THE New YORK HERALD: Let me
express my grateful appreciation Of the
space you have given my views In Mon
davis paper.
May further trespass upon your
generous interest by briefly replying to
the comments tnereuron? That In my
ripe old age should be considered
"sweetly naive" (of which ! have never
before been accused) Is indeed fiatter-
ing.
Referring categorically to your que-
ries let me say that in maintaining that
Mayor Hylan is "a clean living family
man. in no way cast reflection upon
the other candidates; nevertheless. at a
time like the present 1t is safer for the
voters to take no chances, and as the
Meyer committee utterly failed to prove
to the contrary l prefer to abide by my
statement.
II In a city Of seven million the ad-
ministration with Its large police force
its vast machinery and its numerous
friends" is only accused of getting
away with $4,000 easy money It
seems to me that the Mayor must have
been pretty much on the job Of freezing
out the 'low resorts. the immoral shows
and the gambling dens" which. by the
way are as a rule the luxuries OF the
very unreedy.
Furthermore. let me refresh your
memory regarding the "subletting OF
twenty four city piers by favored con-
tractors at profit of s4.000.000." The
greater rart Of this money was made
ont Of the United States Shinpirg Board
by the lessees Of city piers who could
not be irterfered with by Dock Comnn's-
sioner Hubert because of decisions IN
the Federal court to the effect that the
Dock Commissioner and the city OF New
York had no say whatever as to the
subeas'ng Of piers bv lessees: neither
could Co-n,rissioner Hubert break the
leases of these pier profiteers, because
they had been granted by preceding ad-
ministrations to run from twenty 70
fifty years.
How wish that could meet that
one lonely ''poultryman who said he lost
his stall in the city because his rival
was willing to give money for honey
I would Ike to tell him that the only
produce that failed to respond to Mayor
Hy,an's efforts to red'ce the high cos'
Of living was poultry, but as chickens OF
every variety are the endowment or the
wealthy I rather think that the above
complaint should fall under the head OF
"just retrihrtlon."
AS regards the five cent fare. tn"
urestion Is not what our fares have
been and are. but what are they to be
IN the future. That Is the imrortant
matter which concerns the voters
You tell me that my remarks are full
Of pathos. How glad I am thot you
d'1 not print my nicture. for had yon
done SO no one in the world co-ld pos
sihlv believe this. although. perhaps,
some day DR.. Copeland may take an
irtorost IN me as well as in the other
ladies' he Is reducing.
And finally like city official VINO
is busy worker rather than social
climber. have always waxed en-
thvsiastic over the man who earns his
salary. and I confess to admiring a
Mavor whose working hours are Tener-
arv fifteen. The busy bee is historical
and am erf,c'entlv old fashioned to
work hard myself and to feel consider
eh,e symrathy for the other fellow who
works hard. TirrsAsETH MARBuRy.

Bat Masterson, Peace Officer.

In the death of BAT MAsTERsoN on
Tuesday there passed away one of the
last of the famous peace officers wac
kept order in frontier towns OF the
West and the Southwest in the lively
days Of their early history more than
g generation ago.
The East knew little of MAsTERsov
until he appeared at New Orleans in
1889 and was chosen as one of the
seconds for JAKE KrLRAIN in the
Baltimore pugilist's battle for the
heavyweight championship with
JOHN L. SULLIVAN. MAsTERsoN went
20 the ringside at Richmond, Missis-
sippi. with a gun in his hip pocket,
but he had no occasion to use 1t, so
we'll did the referee, JonS FrTzpAT-
RICK. the Mayor of New Orleans, do
Ills work.
AT that time In the old ST. Charles
Hotel In New Orleans he gave n curl
Gus revelation OF his character. He
was breakfasting one morning when
three strangers sitting at the same
table began talking about him and
fss exploits in jocose fashion. One
of the three suggested that perhaps
fresh graveyard would have to be
started because of the coming to New
Orleans of the man who had made
Dodge City peaceful community.

same vein.

Vote for UIInan.

For three years the Republicans
ard Democrats in the Sixth New
York county Assembly district have
united on candidate for the AS
sembly in order to prevent the cleo
tion of q Socialist to that body.
Their candidate each of these years
has been Sol. ULLMAN, and each cleo
tion he has been successful at the
polls. Assemblyman ULLMAN has
made creditable record at Albany.
This year the Tammany leaders
have refused to adopt the policy Of
fusion in New York county Assembly
districts which contain large Social
ist populations, and Mr.. ULLMAN con-
sequently faces two opponents. the
Tammany nominee and the Socialist
nominee. With the anti-Sociafist
vote split between Republican and
Democratic candidates there is dan
ger that the district may be repre-
sented at Albany by Socialist. In
1921 Assemblyman ULLMAN polleI
7,045 votes against 5,446 cast for tho
Socialist candidate.
Under these circumstances the
duty Of all voters in the Sixth dis
trict who do not want a Socialist to
misrepresent them in the State Capt.
tol Is clear. Regardless Of party
labels. regardless of their attitude on
the city ticket, they should mark
their ballots for Sol ULLMAN, to send
tn Albany man who believes in
democratic government and Ameri-
can institutions.

Once breaking day brought matchless
witchery--
once cloakcd In clouded jade and

Dawn walked the dimly cloistered
woodland waye;
Once flaming swift In ragan pageantry
Its sudden beauty blazcd upon the sea ;
Or like some errant knight of olden
days
Dawn's golden lance was hammered
with bright haze
Once breaking day brought matchless
witchery.
And It may be that still the dawn is
fair.

The Axworthy Family.

When the records of the trotters
which have done things in 1921 are
compiled the descendants Of AK.
worthy, 2:15h at three years of age,
will make long list.
The history of Axworthy Is one
Of the most remarkable in the an.
nails Of this purely American type of
horse. He was bred by A. B. OAR
LING. one of the owners OF the old
Fifth Avenue Hotel, at his farm in
New Jersey. He was by Axtell, 2:12,
the champion three-year-old of his
day. out of Marguerite by Kentucky
Prince. He had faulty hooks but
great speed.
1t was because Of his hooks that
JOHN H. SHUTS was able to pur-
chase him at auction for $3.50. Mr..
SHUTS had his Parkville Farm on
the Ocean Parkway leading to Coney
Island, in part of Brooklyn now
built up almost solidly, and Ak
worthy was sent there to keep COM
pany- with Stranger and Thistle.
2:13A. From his arrival the horse
became a prime favorite with Supef-
intendent SHUTTT, who urged Mr..
SHUTS to breed his best mares to
the son of Axtell.
Mr.. SHUTS was one OF the men
conspicuous in the trotting horse
world. He became interested in trot.
ters after years of industry in the
commercial world and he often said
that his greatest pleasure from
horses was found in the friendly tilts
he had In the auction ring in bid
ding for choice lots during the win.
ter sales. chiefly with his warm per.
sonal friend J. w. DAILY of Mount
Kisco Farm.
For some reason Mr.. SHUTS never
was fond of Axworthy, but Superin-
tendent SHuTTT found that Axworthy
could trot faster barefooted than any
thing else on the farm and through
this capable horseman the son of AK
tell got his chance. One of his earliest
foals sired at Parkville Farm was
Guy Axworthy, 2:os% at four years.
which won fame in trotting annals
by being the first stallion to sire two
trotters with records of better than
two minutes. One of them, Lee Ak
worthy, 1854, which died In his
prime. holds the worlds record for
stations. and the other, Arion Guy,
1:591a, took his mark this year and Is
the fastest four-year-old stallion yet
brought out. Guy Axworthy is also the
sire of Edith Worthy. 2:11h, owned
by the Brooke Farm at Chester, New
York. She Is the leading money win
ner OF 1921.
1t was against the advice of Will.
TAM SHurTT that Axworthy was sent
to the auction block when he was TT
the height of his career. He brought
S21, 900. falling to the bid OF Will
lam SIMPSON Of this city, who had a
farm at Cuba. in Allegany county.
Mr.. SIMPSON had some splendid mares
and Axworthy WIS success from the
day he arrived there.
