NARk SKINNER LIBRARY GEL.
EBRATEs 2STH ANNIVERSARY

A Very Enjoyable Program Given at
the Quarter Century Mark Of This
Institution.
The celebration Of the 25th anniver-
sary Of the opening Of the Mark
Skinner Library was held on Friday,
July 7th, at 4:30 O'Clock
Friends Of the Library gathered in
the beautiful reading room, filled with
afternoon sunshine and made lovely
with flowers, to listen 70 the program
which had been arranged in honor Of
the day
Mr. Rich, the president Of the board
Of trustees, who succeeded the late
Judge Loveland Munson, president Of
the board from the founding Of the
Library in 1897 until his death in
1921, spoke briefly and suitably in
opening the exercises. Mr. Lorenz,
Of the Equinox Orchestra, followed
with two selections Of choice music
and Mrs. Munson read a graceful
birthday greeting from the Dorset
library to her neighbor in Manches-
ter, written by Mrs. Zephine Hum
phrey Fahnestock.
1t is not often that one can evoke
the same muse after quarter of a
century, but Miss Cleghorn, who
wrote the poem for the opening Of the
Library, read again her verses writ
ten at that time and followed them
with a poem prepared for this occa-
sion which clearly portrayed the pas
sage Of time and the change Of
thought since those distant days be-
fore the fame of war had seorched the
world.
Mrs. f. C. Orvis, who, with small
group Of others present, had been a
sharer in the administration Of the
Library in its early days, expressed
the feelings of many present in her
tribute to the Library and to those
who had been its builders and makers.
Mr.. Salisbury, accompanied by
Miss Laura Hollister, sang delightful
ly two solos and was followed by Rev.
Vincent Raw Booth of Bennington,
whose intimate knowledge Of the
during his years of residence
in Manchester and his rare literary |
culture fitted him to be the speaker of
the afternoon. In few choice words
he set forth the essential values Of
books and gave a clear illustration OF
those which live and those which pass.
At the close of the program light
were served and there
was opportunity for social greetings
md for expressions Of appreciation
or the work of the Library and those
Who carry on its daily service.
Miss Clara Hemenway, who was the
irst Librarian of the Mark Skinner
library, is now assistant librarian in
he University Of Hawaii, was present
md it gave pleasure to many friends
o be able to greet her on this occa-
ion.
1t was matter Of great regret
hat no member Of the Skinner or
Wiling family could be present; but
he Misses Elizabeth and Frederika
Skinner of Chicago, in memory OF
heir sister, Mrs. Frances Skinner ,
the founder Of the Library,
ent a silver anniversary gift Of 25
undred dollars in bonds to be added
o the permanent fund Of the Library.
To this amount friends in Manches-
er added the sum Of three hundred
ollars, making a welcome addition TO ,
he funds available for the increased !
ost Of the maintenance Of the Ii f,
rary and the extension Of its work /
lto the next quarter century.

WINTER RACES
START OVER
THREE TRACKS
Havana, Tia Juana and New
Orleans Seasons Start on
Thanksgiving Day.
By LEONARD W. COLLINS.

DJ LEONAhD W.. SOLLAtN0s.
WI INTER racing will be In
" augurated al Oriental Park,
" Havana; Coffroth Park. Tia
Juana and jefferson Park, New Or
leans, Thanksgiving Day afternoon,
and from present indications the
sport gives every promise OF ex-
periencing the most successful sea
son since its introduction at these
three far southern points.
At Tia Juana the Tia Juana
Jockey Club plans a meeting that
will extend over a period Of 100 or
more racing days, while Oriental
Park, the stronghold Of Charles A.
Stoneham and John j. MeGraw, at
Havana, will continue for a like
number Of days.
Jefferson Park. one of New Or
leans two racing plants. will only
run for twenty-seven days. ending
on December 81. Immediately follow
ing the jefferson Park meeting. the
Business Mems Association inaugur-
ates a meet of fifty days.
At a not altogether far distant
date the campaigning Of thorough
breds throughout the winter months
was looked upon by the majority
of horsemen as being detrimental to
the future usefulness of their
charges on northern tracks.
In fact. those tracks catering to
winter racing were looked upon as
being nothing other than ''lay-overs"
for those owners who were trying to
make both ends meet from one sea-
son to another.
This belief. however. has materially
changed. Now you will find repre-
sentatives from the more powerful
racing establishments of the coun-
try competing at these southern
courses. Such stables as Harry
Payne Whitney's, Montfort Jones'
and others are now to be found
racing at both Havana and New
Orleans.
One draw back to these southern
and early meetings is that they
serve to bring two-year-olds to the
races before they have fully ma
tured. The racing of thr-year-old
or upwards Is to be encouraged and
Is being encouraged. yet those own
ers and trainers who are starting
their Juveniles just as soon as they
reach the two-year-Old limits is be-
ing condemned on all sides. Yet the
practice goes on.

the exact hour not having been de-
cided as yet.
Manager Chapman expects to have
sixteen teams in the race this year.
and has made his selections from

Already eight Italians have been
