No Cheers for winner.

There wasn't a cheer to greet the win
ner when she stepped past the post. She
hadn't a friend, and many racegoers
were unable to fathom her inconsis-
tency. Young Jimmy Rowe. who has
had the Whitney horses sll season, was
fuhilant at winning TIE stake, but
chagrined for not having had wager
on her. She had fooled him twice and
ne was among the thousands who be-
ileved she had little chance OF success
He said he couldn't explain her two
previous bad races unless they came as
a result OF work he gave her in the
mud. He said that his father told him
that that had probably hurt her.
Other horsemen who analyzed her
races said that the big Improvement
came because she was unable to get
70 the front in the early part Of this
race and when she was held under slight
restraint she felt like running and did
her best all the way.

COMES FROM BEHIND
Under Slight Restraint She
Races to Early Spring
Training Form.
by HENRY ". KING.

NFillies always have been contrary
and inconsistent horses. but few in
recent years have been such an enigma
as Harry Payne Whitney's ttree-year-
old black beauty Prudish. Early this
spring this miss was whirlwind with
a5disposition like lamb and one that
could carry her speed over any dis
tance of ground. Time and again at
Brookdale she outran and outstayed
olympus. who was one of the favorites
for the Kentucky Derby.
%Before the metropolitan racing sea-
cough and fever which played havoc
with the thoroughbred world. She re-
covered quickly and came TO Belmont
Park as fast and as strong apparently
as when she was racing Olympus in the
spring. She started in two races and
each time carried the hopes and wagers
of her stable connections and each time
she showed flight of speed but quit to
almost a walk after running five fur
longs. Jimmy Rowe. Jr.. couldn't un-
derstand her and came to the conclu-
sion that her sickness had sapped her
strength.
Yesterday she came out for the Coach
ing Club American Oaks at one mile
and three furlongs. the same journey as
was the Belmont. Few racegoers be-
lieved she had possible chance of win
ming it. All believed she was entered
so that Mr.. Whitney would be repre-
sented in the classic. AS a result she
was the extreme outsider in the race
at the long odds of 80 to /. And even
those odds weren't long enough to tempt
any of the $4,000 persons present to
wager on her.
The New York herald., 1922-06-16
Plenty Of speed and stamina.

But when it came to racing she was
a. different horse. She didn't run five
furlongs and quit. She ran the one mile
and three furlongs and at the end was
apparently strong enough TO duplicate
the Journey. At the judges stand she
was galloping a length and half In
front of Robert l.. Gerry's Emotion. who
beat Mrs. Payne Whitneys Kings Fancy
fy fifteen lengths for the second end5ot
the purse.
The Coaching Club Oaks is one oil
the most coveted stakes for fillies on
the American turf. 1t is for the fillies
what the Belmont is for the colts-a
test of speed and endurance. The asso-
citation added $4,000 TO 1t and the
Coaching Club added the historic
Singleton cup. a trophy which was
raced for more than hundred years
In quest of this priceless cup forty
of the best filles in the country were
named 10 start. OF this number six

Faster Race Than PIIory's.

Prudish won the race like a great
fiiiv. She stepped along behind a
terrific pace for a mile then made a
bid for the lead. She found Emotion III
front and full of run and fight and she
was compelled TO do her best Tor a
quarter of a mile before she raced
down her opponents. When Emotion
cracked she went TO the front and all
through the last efurlong Norris was
easing her UP. She covered the distance
in 2:1S As, two fifths of a second
faster than Pillory made in the
Belmont.
The early pace was extremely fast.
Bees Wax went to the front soon after
the barrier went up and followed closely
by Many Smiles stepped along. at a
sizzliug pace But fast as 1t was 1t
wasn't any too fast for either Emotion
or Prudish, which ran on the leader
heels.
At the end of six furlongs Bees Wax
faltered and Many Smil.s went into the
lead. But only for short time, for
before the bend had been rounded
Prudish challenged as she moved up
Sande' rushed Emotion UP and took
command.
Once in front Emotion sped along at
q rapid pace and entering the home
stretch seemed like the winner. But
Prudish was still to be reckoned with.
She was gaining ground with every
bound and running strong. Sande piled
the whip on Emotion hard and often
and the filly responded gamely. but she
wasn't good enough to beat the Whit
ney filly and she was compelled to ac-
cept the second end of the purse.
Sande was severely criticized for the
way he rode Emotion Horsemen and
other students of the sport said he made
his run too soon that IL he had waited
until entering the homestretch to chal-
lenge he would have landed his mount
the winner.

HOW A BICYCLE
SHOULD Be SELECTED
Fred ST. Onge. Noted Expert,
Gives Valuable Advice on
the Subject.

In connection with National Bicycle
Week, now being observed in this city,
many interesting stories relative TO the
bicycle and It's uses are being heard.
From every angle the various topics
lead 20 the bicycle. The selection OF a
bicycle Is probably the most popular
topic.
bred St. Onge, Americas foremost
exponent Of bicycle riding, gives some
valuable advice on choosing, equipping,
and adjusting a bicycle.
Ia the selection of bicycle, he
states, whether the rider Is choosing
his first bicycle or is q seasoned user
OF this highly beneficial vehicle and
has owned several wheels, he should ex-
orcisc the greatest care In making
sure the bicycle he finally picks out i
one IN every way fitted TO his (or herr
individual physical requirements.
A bicycle with frame too high or
too low for the riders stature, or one
that is gearcd too high, or one whose
saddle or handlebars are sadly in need
OF adjustment, naturally results in an
awkward and uncomfortable riding
posture and detracts greatly from the
otherwise perfect pleasure OF bicycling.
II must be borne in mind that the
only motive or driving power that
manipulates bicycle is that of the
legs and feet This power, therefore,
should bd conserved and made TO pro-
ducc maximum results from minimum
effort.
To yet the proper height, saysSt.
Onge, the rider should stand beside his
bicycle and adjust the saddle on leve
with the hips Then sit in the saddle
having the crank hanger at its lowest
point, ln this position, the rider should
be- abs TO touch the pedal with his heel

Tho saddle never should be set moro
than one inch back Of this limo.
A natural. comfortable riding posi-
tion is promoted by having tho handle
bars adjusted to a point practically
level with the saddle. The handlcbars
should not be spread wider than tho
shoulders of tho rider. The rider is
subjected to a severe handicap if his
mount is adjusted out of these limitations,
and riding then becomes laborious and
difficult, especially against a strong
head wind and over hilly country roads.
In other words, with the saddle set
back of the center of the crank hanger
and the hsndlebars higher than they
should be, pleasure becomes hard work
and no progress can he made.
A bicycle rider never should pattern

his riding position after the moro or
less crouched position assumed by q
motorcycle rider, continues st. Ongc.
Should hc do 70, hill climbing involves
tho greatest excrtion and long distance
riding becomes practically a physical
impossibility.
Whether a bicycle is ridden As a
utility or as pleasure vehicle, or
both, tho most practical gear is "a x 0,

The Destiny of Holbrook To
 Be Realized In 1922, Is Belief

That the ultimate in the future of Hobrook's des-
 tiny will mature during the year just started is confident expected by those who have closely followed the trend of the development in oil field Nineteen twenty two firmly believe, will be the red letter year in the history of not only Hobrook but of Arizona Oklahoma Texas and Wyoming occupying mediocre position in the galaxy of states each have umpted to first import with the discovery of oil whose flow, gurativey speaking turned ese states into vast orchards of wealth. What the development of large producing field will to Arizona may be easily visuazed by those who have knowledge of the wonderful progress of other states at the magic touch of oil. Arizona is fortunate, having in conjunction, its copper cattle and cotton sources.
 The development of the Holbrook field which it has been slower than had been wished by many matter of parision with other fields in their wildcat stage has been developing rapidly To those who lose patience suggest the reading of the history of other fields.
 The past year has great strides both in the way of development of the wells started and also in the and substantial interests that have become identified with the field by of the confident endorsement of we'll qualified geologiss and the showngs already obtained in the drilling to date.
 Today we have in the field four wells each in the state of development with fifth rig erected and more in prospect It can be stated confidently that depth has been reached in the field of 2500 feet and the
 most conservative geological estimate of producing depth is 5000 feet, it is readily that comparatively small amount of work is yet to be accomplished if the oil to be encountered at the depth estimated, and which confidently believe will be done Our belief in this respect is not based visionary grounds but has solid and su5rtantia basis of formation and showing already encountered by and aside from geological estimate.
 With the beginning of this year work will pep up in the field both with the companies drilling and those about to and confidently expect that Ho brook will come into its early in the year of 1922

NEW SECURITIES OFFERED
 BY GOVERNMENT

Under the plan which has now been adopted and which will go into effect on t h e first of the year. Uncle Sam has made saving easy. h. cidentally, he has initiated a scheme which will be attra- ctive to the small investor and the large alike, a n d which will afford a good re- turn for funds invested.
 The plan centers in t h e new United States Treasury Savings Certificates, issues which will replace the old Savings Stamps tnd w a r Stamps. The new certifi- cates will bear interest a t the rate of 4 per cent con- pounded annually. T h e following description of the new issue was given out this morning by c h ar e Osborne, local postmaster.
 Certificates costing S20 each mature at $25 fl V e years from date of purchase; certificates costing $80 ma ture at $100, and certificates costingSS00 mature at 5000 each five years from date of purchase. They yield 4 1-2 per cent interest compound semj-aunually. They a e absolutely safe registered in the owners name and back ed by the nations strength. They can be cashed before maturity on short notice through banks and postofii- ces. They may be obtained through banks and postoffi- ces.
 For the benefit of small investors who can not put in as much as $20 at a time one dollar stamps are pro- vided. Twenty o f these may be exchanged for a $25 bond. The stamps tn e m selves bear no interest. The old ''baby bonds" will n o t be issued after January l.

RICHARDS TO ASK FOR STATE
 APPROPRIATION

Mir. J.E. Richards, who will, as elsewhere noted, be in Phoenix this week, has arranged a meeting with the Governor and the State Engineer for the pur- pose of asking for an appro- priation of $50, 900. co to be spent on the road between the Petrified Forest a n d Winslow. Road improve ment and relief for the un- employed are the two points which the Supervisors will bsar heavily upon.
 Navajo County and i t s welfare are very prominent in our thoughts. A letter to the Governor from you, reader, would more impress the chief executive with the necessity of granting the ap- propriation than, without depreating Mr. Richards ability, a ten hour speech from our' representative. Sit down NOW and write to The Honorable Thomas E. Campbell, State House. Phoenix, Arizona and tell him your reason for asking for the money.
 The correcting of the sur vey between Navajo a n q Apache Counties is another important item which MT. Richards will ploce before the two executives.

 AND EMPLOYEES

At the present time there are more men being employ ed on the Scorse building than were paid wages on the city sewer and water system. John J. Hummel, former contractor on the Harvey House and the round house at Gallup. That he is thor oughly efficient is proven by the rapidity of construct ion on the new building.
 The local men employed on the job are Manuel Jam arillo, Selso Montana, Ed. Walker and Chas. Gardner. As stone cutters there are ', David MacMillan of Ph- oenlx, McGill Valdez, Her man Collman, Joe Krah, Joe Tomasina and Gilbert Mon- clova all of whom claim Gallup as their home. John Lorenzo is an expert quarry man, as his rapid work in getting out the stone shows.

DR. TAYLOR HAS GOOD NEWS

The Ho!brook fiald will b e proven before the close of the year 1922. is the opinion of pr. s. Earl Taylor. In this connect ion, he went or to state that the syndicate of which he Is t h Q head, were being daily impor- tuned for acreage; and in several instances by some of the larg- est drilling companies in t h e United States. The present standing of the deais is su c h that no announcement can b e made as to the principals. but from casual remarks we are sat- isfied that when the drilling companies are known, the rush into the field will be away to a grand start. Now as never be- fore. we must stand back of the field and give every assistance to those who, either through circumstance or energy. ar e making such whole hearted en- deavor to bring in the oil. A casual slurring remark might be the cause of some one or more of the big interests staying out of Holbrook.
