The failure OF w. 3. Dickerman's
great mare Media. 2:03E. and H X.
Devereux's crack 4-year-old, Arion
Guy, 2:o3H. to start against Gray
worthy, 2:o2ts. and Periscope. 2:O3A
in the $4,000 race at Hartford was a
great disappointment to horsemen No
reason was given for Arion Guys abb
sence as he was on the grounds and
fit. as shown by his fast work, but
Media was so sick that her life hung
in the balance for several hours. The
attack seemed to be collie or something
like 1t, and was 80 severe that the
mare almost went mad from the pain.
She was much improved. but too weak
to be moved at last accounts From
Arion Guys failure to start circuit fol-
lowers surmise that he is to be held
over until next year to get the benefit
OF the time-allowance rule.

on the first turn and distanced him in
the second heat in 2:06A.
1t was uot until Uhlan crossed the
path OF Hamburg Belle at Cleveland in
1903 that the race record of Cresceus
was beaten This contest was not her
aided as match race or as one for a

was--a real test Of speed between the
fastest trotters then in training. At the
Grand Circuit meeting. on August 10.
UhlaN had beaten San Francisco and
other trotters of the :07 class in 2 :03 u,
and Hamburg Belle the next day
eSualled this mark in an exhibition
against time. They came together in
special race on August u.s. with Bob
Proctor driving Uhian and Billy An
drews behind Hamburg Belle. The mare
won the first heat in 2:01A, and the
second in 2:01A, after carrying the
gelding to a break and shutting him
out
They met again week later on the
Readville track, near Boston, in another
special race, and this time the .gelding
turned the tables on the mare, beating
her handily in 2:04G and 2:031a. The
track had been oiled for automobile
racing a year or two before and the
footing was loose and slow. Hamburg
Belle was sold by John z. Madden to
II. NJ Hanna for $4,000 after the
Cleveland race. and c. X. G. Billings

A REMARKABLE RECOVERY

Last week the editor of The Dispatch mingled with The
good people of the Rural Hill community We attende
barbecue and community dinner at the Rural Hill
School
Out there the people Of generous impulse; they
are neighbory; they progressive. The warm and
cordial hospitality they extend visitors is rarely he
found anywhere.
1t didn't look like hard times the way the tables were
loaded with good things to 1t wonderful din
ner-fautlessly prepared and admirably served.
But the thing that impressed most the mar
veous way in which the people of that section and the
section between Columbus and Rural Hill have recovered
from the effects of the disastrous storm Of last April
We passed through portion of the storm along
the Columbus and Fayette road. The left a path
of wreckage and scattered debris all through that section
The destruction complete.
Now however there are few evidences of the storm
be seen. Trees broken down, Of course, in many
places and here and there occasional tent may be
seen. But, all along through the area, beautiful
homes have been erected and other improvements have
been made.
All of the new homes have an artistic finish They look
more like up-todate city homes than they do like rural
residences They reflect the progressive spirit of the
people
Crops are looking fine. Corn will give the best yield
in years; cotton is on the upgrade
1t remarkable how these people have recovered from
the devastating effects of the storm. This is true in
other communities well. hopeful spirit prevailed
among all of the people in the stormswept districts and
they about the task Of reconstruction with deter
mnation and with most commendabe tmiftiness.
Columbus the Chamber Of Commerce, and the Red
Cross rendered splendid service in helping these people
get started but it is their thrift and enterprise with
the help neghbor that has enabled them to bring about
a sustained and complete recovery.
All honor to the people of the stOrm-swept

Do you know, Mr. Editor, that the
first-born child of Columbus was the
late William S, Barry, brilliant con-
gresham in the fifties, and colonel of
the 35th Mississippi infantry in the
civil war? / was a member of his

Women.
Before the stalwart generation
crosses the river, from it's members
should be secured list of rural
sports, such as marked the country
side gatherings of earlier years, the
muster, etc. Let these sports be re-
vived and played as our grand
fathers played them, and rebuild that
citizenship that laid the foundation of
our country's freedom and greatness.
The village Notwithstanding and
quoit-throwing, swimming, and such
other stunts-with barbecue and
Brunswick Stew-would bind town
and county with an everlasting bond.
Re-make our citizens in the ancient
moulds. You would thus mark a new
era for young and old and turn the
peoples faces from copying after and
yearning for city standards of folly
and extravaganza, to the simpler and
saner life they would so much more
enjoy. Such policy adopted and adj
hered to would capture waiting
world and mark our dear old town as
again rising from the weller of war
and reconstruction as she did when,
by the flow of the inland river" she
decked the graves of the Blue and
the Gray and turned her shining face
from the blood-stained past and res
olutely faced the future.
The annual or semi-annual games
and rural sports would draw thou
sands of pilgrims to your doors as
they flock to Oberammergau to see
the never-old story of the Cross.
1t will take work, patience and skill
to bring this arrangement to perfec-
ton, but it can be done.
Make these games a part of your
Centennial, with men to impersonate
such giants as Barksdale, Prentiss,
Clay, Calhoun, and others.
Forgive this scrawl, but my heart
beats faster when think of the
beautiful Queen City on the banks of
the Tombigbee.
Faithfully yours,
