 Lee Worthy was coupled with Lee Wynolot and faced the starter a heavy favorite.
 Exceptionally close finishes and the defeat of Czar Worthy in the Plain Dealer $5,ooo purse and Bill sharen in the 2:14 trot marked the days racing. Both were odds on the spectators in doubt until the money horses were posted.
 Car Worthy Beaten.
 The Plain Dealer went to the Great Volo, driven and owned by Walter Cox, Goshen (N. Y.) reinsman, after one of the greatest struggles in the history of the stake. Four heats were necessary to decide the winner. Breaks in the stretch cost Car Wor- thy the race. In the second heat he finished second to the Great voo, which paced the last 50 feet and beat the trotter by nose
 The 2:12 pace also resulted in four heats. After Bingenwood. Jr., fn- ished sixth in the first heat the judges substituted Harry Stokes for Marvin Childs in the sulky. Stokes then drove Bingenwood. Jr., to see on1 position in the next heat and was called into the stand. He then won the third heat, but was unable to hold his long lead in the final heat and was beaten by Mary Coffee, which also took the first heat and the race.

Curious Arizona Cactus.

In the Rincon valley, Is miles from
Tuscon, Ark, is giant cactus, the
summit of which has been so deformed
as to make it an object of curiosity
to visitors. The inhabitants of the
valley are proud Of their freak cactus
and refuse to allow botanists to cut
the head to determine the cause of
the reformation. The botanists think
1t is due to the work of insects, but
the country people believe that q
stroke of lightning was the determin-
Ing cause. This species of cactus, the
Cereus, not infrequently develops
strange forms. In this case the head
has assumed the appearance Of a gi-
gantic caulifiower.

Feature

The devotional exercises on Tues
day morning were conducted by Rev.
w. II. Shields, d. D., of the Presbyter-
ian church.
Supt. Park took as his subject "A
Working Program" He spoke of the
necessity of forming some definite
plan, or working program, in under.
taking any work that is worth while.
A teacher should SO order her ways of
living that she will keep herself in
the best condition possible, both phys.
ically and intellectually, for doing eff.
ficient work. He spoke of the import.
ance of having each days work care
fully planned beforehand aud also of
the importance of playground super
vision.
Supt. Maston of Martins Ferry, o.,
then spoke in regard to the pension
system for teachers now in opera.
tion in Ohio, explaining various phas.
es Of this system.
"The Nature Study Equipment of
the Schoolroom" was discussed by DR..
Matheny. He said that 1t is not nee
essary to spend a great amount of
money for such equipment as there is
wonderful material near at hand, in
field and forest, and everywhere about
us II we only are on the lookout for
it. DR.. Matheny has great amount
OF such material with him for use in
illustrating his talks, all of which has
been collected by himself or his stu

DR.. Matheny was continuation of hi
talk of the morning on the habits o
birds and also many interesting thing
about insect life. These talks by Dl
Matheny are made doubly interesting
from the fact that he relates 80 man
incidents concerning the various OF
jects Of nature from his own observa
tion. He said that 1t is not necessar
to, travel far away to see the beautifu
and wonderful objects Of nature whe
there are so many of them near a
hand through which God reveals hin
self to us.
