At the Place of waiting

The "Place of Wailing' Is a small
quadrangular area near the mosque Of
Omar in Jerusalem, Enclosed by ordi-
nary dwellings on the west and by
the ancient wall of Haram on the
east
This wall, consisting of several
courses of huge stones, is believed
by the Jews to be portion OF the
court Of Solomon's temple, and the
only part of that structure now re-
naming.
For centuries the descendants of
Abraham have repaired to this spot
to mourn over the calamities that
have befallen Israel. and to- pray for
the coming of the Messiah. In former
years they were forced to pay large
sum for this melancholy privilege

100 FAST HORSES
NAMED FOR THREE
BIG MATCH RACES.
Many Horses Put Up By
Owners for Value of

By FRANK GETTY
ny United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, July 30.--Epinard,
Pierre Wertheimer S good French
colt, came over the seas to meet the
fleetest horse on the American
turf, and it was bit4of "a surprise
to find moro than 100 thorough
breds named for the three match
races against the visitor.
Of course, 90 per cent of these
American animals will be scratched
before the TINA for the race rolls
around, but it is interesting to note
how many horsemens fell it worth
while posting $3.50 for each of their
prospective contenders.
Many of the horses named would
stand no chance against Epinard,
and were put i'll by their owners
just for the advertising value of the
thing. In after years, they will be
saying of some scrawny foal:
Why, his father was named ito

champion of 1924! ~
Harry +. Sinclair, through Sam
llildreth, his trainer, nominated
eight different horses for the three

There are to be three races; the
first, over six furlongs, at Belmont
Park, Sept. ]. The second will be
at mile, at Aqueduct, Sept 81; the
third, Il mile and a quarter, at La
tonia, Oct. \. Entries for the La
tonia race are not all in.
The value of the three races will
exceed $125,000.
The nominations afford horseman
with an interesting perspective, on
the relative value, at different dis
tanccs placed by the country s lead
ing trainers upon their charges.
Thc following horses have, been
named for all three races: Epinard,
