the Eastern Gulf Oil Company, which
has been in court for five years, was

week in favor of the defendants. j.
Will Clay and Matt c. Clay, of this
city, and w. c. Taylor, of Winches-
ter, are among the heaviest stock
holders in the Eastern Gulf Company
and the decision will mean many
thousands of dollars to each of the
parties mentioned, as the amount in
volved was approximately 100000
The suit was brought by the heirs in
an effort to secure a portion of the
royalty from the Ephangel lease in
Lee county. The decision of the
court will meet with the, hearty ap-
proval of many friends of these pop
ular gentlemen.

Standing of Clubs
Norwich Wins Derby

Norwich, the unbeaten two-year-old,
with eleven starts to his credit, and
always first under the wire, made his
debut in the Kentucky Derby as a
three-year-old Saturday. and had the
race at his mercy from the barrier to
the wire. Norwich is owned by Ben
jamin Block, New York sportsman.
and was a decided favorite in the
event. The race run by this brown
son of Runnymede-Hymir stamps
him as the best three-year-old in the
country, and his prospects are bright
to exceed the winnings of the super
horse, Man O. War. The time for the
mile and quarter was 2:05 3-5,
which was one and one-fifth second
slower than the track record held by
Old Rosebud. However. the Block
colt was never extended, and it is
believed by those who saw the race
that he could have equalled If not
lowered the track record had his
rider chosen. Second in the race
was e. r. Bradley's Bet Mosie and
third was John Finn. Busy Signal.
another Bradley entry broke down
at the first turn. A crowd estimated
at $4,000, the largest on record, saw
the classic, and cheered the eastern
horse on to victory.
Norwich paid the surprisingly good
odds of $4.4O to win in the mutuels, |
s4.3O to place and $3.50 to show for
a two-dollar ticket. The mutuel prices
on Bet Mosie were $2.9O and $2.70,
and $500 on John Finn.

Through all these years Mothers
Day has ben celebrated by millions

as is evidenced by such a vision how
it has been taken up and observed by
the millions.
Mrs. Jarvis felt fifteen years ago
what the nation feels now-"Mother
is everything" Mothers Day is the
day of all days when all turn back
and think what a wonderful person
Mother was and what a beautiful
person she is. Mother had her sor-
rows, but this day is hers for all
homage
In Mt. Sterling thousands of how-
ers were worn in honor of Mother.
There were many white ones to be
seen, denoting the fact that although
Mother was gone, her memory was

Great Losing Streak

On last Thursday Mt. Sterling met
defeat at the hands of the Cynthiana

On Sunday the locals journeyed to
Winchester: where they were again
taken into camp by the score of to
l. Fugate pitched a mastery game
and with better support should have
won the game. The infield was again
responsible, Cole at, third being the
chief offender, and, it is understood,
his laying was so rotten as to have
caused him to receive his uncondi-
tional release. The net game will be
at Lexington Thursday and on Sun
day Paris will be the attraction on
the local grounds.
Other Sunday Games
Maysville defeated Paris II to 0,
Einmann only allowing the Bourbon
ties two hits. Lexington defeated
Cynthiana in a close game by the
score of to 3.
