EGYPT'S TRADITIONS

twenty-sixth dynasty about $50 BE-,

Pasha, minister from Egypt, in an
address before the members OF the
International Association of Art and
Letters last night.
mot only were the ancient Egyptians
desirous of surrounding themselves
and their dead witt: beautiful jewels
and objects of art, but the people
demanded beauty In the everyday
utensils of life," explained the min
lister. Painters and sculptors. he said,
were looked upon as artisans, while
the architect was held in high rank
and frequently married the Pharoah' $
daughters.
Showed the Age Of Art.
The minister showed that the age

Of the orient and, through Greece, Eu-
rope. Much of the Greek art and
myths are variations or the Egyptian
and the Doric order, and the Tuscan
took much OF it's origin from Egypt,
he declared.
The alphabet, he pointed out, was
formed in Egypt. Taken first from
100 hieroglyphs at the command of
the monument maker or sacred
scribe, forty-five characters were
selected for the alphabet. which were
finally reduced to twenty-five, the
number at which nearly all other
alphabets remain.
Ancients Used Cosmetics.
He pointed out that cosmetics were
an invention that came with the dis
covery of metal ore Long before
metal copper was known the crude
copper was used as an ingredient of
the cosmetics with which the women
painted their faces.

 Progress Impossible
 When the first race was finished the crowd was so enormous that 1t was next to impossible to make any progress in the direction of the mutual machines, underneath the grand stand, and the lawn in front of the grandstand, packed for quarter of mile with shoul- dering, milling crowd, was impossible. Though official attendance figures were lacking, Col. Matt J. Vim, gen eral manager of the Kentucky Jockey club, said the crowd was the largest that ever damned the gates of Churc- hill Downs, and the best available es- inmates placed the attendance at be- tween 75,000' and S0,000.
 Make your own estimates and null tipy by two and you will not be far wyong," said Col. Winn. "The crowd breaks all records for Churchill Downs, although we spent $250, 900 to make the public comfortable, the capacity of the Downs was tested today. It was the most cosmopolitan gathering I have ever seen on the race track in my % years experience"

AUBURN TIGERS
 PLAN BIG DAY Many New Candidates Will Be Initiated Into
 Membership

AUBURN, Ala, May 17.-(Spe- cial. )-Monday afternoon, May 10, will mark the annual "A" club initia- ton on the Plains. This event is a regular annual affair and always car ries with it. many interesting stunts put on by the initiates that have prov ed to me some of the most interesting on the campus. The largest number in the history of the club. is scheduled to be the Goats in Mondays affair. Fourteen candidates have been given notice to make preparation for the coming event.
 On account of the unusual number of baseball men on the squad this sea- son the number of basebaIlers has ran mp to a total of nine. Among these are "Shinnie" Hines, pitcher, Pete Davis, catcher, Dough" Knight, pitch CT, and fielders as follows: Fancher, Stewart, Ansley, Maury and Market. The latter worked on the mound in some of the games this season. In ad- dition to the regular players, "Rickie'' Mellen, student manager, will be grant ed the coveted letter. On the track team the new men to receive letters and who will be in the initiation are l: Nelson, White, M. V. and Young. The basket ball varsity is furnishing two candidates who are Bill Mckinney and Earl Barkes.
 Following the initiation Monday evening the clubbers will banquet in honor of the newly made members. It is understood, that the athletes will have as their guest on this occasion, Governor Brandon, Dr. Spright Dowell Charles F. DeBardeleben, president of the alumni association and other prominent Auburn men who are to ibe in attendance at the anSual commence ment exercises and Alumni day.

ZEV SETS ALL TIME
 RECORD FOR EARNINGS
Passes lsinglass, And, Despite Two Defeats
 Should Go Over $35O, 1000 During Season

NEW YORK, May 17.-(Special.) In the hurry and worry inseparable from preparing likely three year olds for the $60,000 Preakness at Pimlico and the. $75,000 Golden Jubilee Derby at Louisville, horsemen of the east slurred the training of older charges for the revivals at Pimlico of the $25,- 900 Dixie and at Churchill Downs of the $10,000 Clark handicap.
 Samuel c. Hildreth, busy with the Rancocas Preakness and derby aspir- ants May Play, Bracadale, Stainwix, Tester, Finn Lag, Sheridan, etc., could not find to ready up Zev, last seasons three e-year-old champion, and gallant old Mat Halter, which appears to have come back in his eighth year as spry as he was the day he won the first Latonia championship, for the Dixie Trying to make derby stuff of Trans mute, Gonfalon, Klondyke and Swing along the veteran James Rowe neglect ed Harry Payne Whitney's Enchant- ment and Chickvale. Concerned with the derby preparations of Sarazen, Max Hirsch did not give the attention he might have to J. B. Smiths King Solomons Seal, although that son of King James, and Himation did get to the post in the Dixie to run q fair race.
 Outlook For Grainger
 It will be different from now on. The $10,000 Grainger Memorial the new name--in commemoration. of the late Charles F. Grainger, for years q sali- ent figure in American. racing-of the old Kentucky handicap, Churchill Downs legacy from Douglass Park, will have strong eastern representation next Saturday. The Independence, Latonia's Fourth of July attraction, possibly, will fare better than the Grainger Memorial.
 Potential eastern owned participants in the Grainger are Zev, Mad Halter, Rialto, Martingale, Dunlin and King Solomons Seal. Zey has been beaten a couple of times this spring, but un- der excusable circumstances. In the Paumonok handicap at Jamaica, last seasons renewal of which he won handsomely, he met a three-year-old of super quality, perhaps, in St. James, which, unhappily, broke down recently at Belmont Park and was withdrawn from the Preakness and the Golden Jubilee Derby. Zev's burden was 130 pounds, St. James 112. In the Ex- celsior, another Jamaica special, Zev essayed the homeric task of conceding IS pounds to Rialto and 31 to Sunsini, both smart mudders. However, in these races the brown son of The Finn and Miss Kearney raced with his usual determination Thanks to this racing he is now better horse than he was starting off and should be better still the day of the Grainger. There is nothing amiss with Zev's underpinning His legs are as sound as hickory sap lings.
 Zev is now the leading money earner

of world thoroughbred history. He finished last season with $286,613 to his credit. His earnings this year amount to $7,000 even, bringing the net to $293,673.s He has passed the English Isinglass, which retired in the early 90s with $291 ,275 on the right side of his account The nearest Amer ican to him is stalwart ExterminatOr with $251 ,505. Exterminator earned $1,740 at Tijuana in February and March and $1 300 at Havre de Grace in April. Those winnings brought him safely past the $249, ,465 mark of the one time world champion Man O War. That Zev will easily pass the $35O,OOO mark before the current season finishes and set a record that will stand for quarter of a century or longer IS as certain as anything in horse racing can be. Not improbably he will get big start in Kentucky.
 Mad Halter, which stepped three quarters of a mile in 1 10 3-5ths., at Belmont Park last spring when he won a renewal of the Toboggan handicap, Long Islands most popular sprint race, satisfied 10000 at Jamaica a week aga Tuesday that he had come back to use fulness, when, under 126 pounds, he sprinted three-quarters of mile in 1 Ill 3-5ths., in front of Miss Star, Salacia, Little Celt, Dunlin, Brain storm and Knobbie, sprinters of parts. Last season was the worst this rugged son of Fair Play and Madcap has had. Trainer Hildreth attributed the old campaigners backsliding to the fact that he had been used as trial horse for Zev. Distance running, of course, is the forte of this winner of two Jockey club gold cups and a Latonia championship and some twenty other valuable stakes.
 J. s. Cosdens Martingale and Mrs. Whitney's Rialto look as formidable, ly in the forty-ninth Kentucky Derby, Martingale finishing second, couple of lengths back of Zev, Rialto seventh after a rough passage. Martingale has recently won a Merchants handi- cap at Pimlico and finished second to the improved and improving Chacolet in the Dixie.
 Rialto's Performance
 It is something to beat Zev, veri table jazzbo in muddy going even with a pull of IS pounds. Rialto accom- plished that task easily in the Ex- celsior handicap at Jamaica, a race of one mile and & sixteenth. Speed is Zev's forte. Generally he steps to the front as the barrier rises and com petitors don't get close. Rialto beat him away from the barrier last Satur- day and he could not get close to Rial to. In the last quarter, after he had disposed of Zev, Rialto withstood the determined challenge of Sunsini, one of the toughest and most courageous four year-olds racing. He gave Susini 13 pounds.

turned in a track record at New Or leans and then went bad.
 When the oil boom had taken in the little Hoots place and when fortunes began to gush out of the ground at their feet, the owners of old "Useeit" thought they would give her a chahce at the royalty that hard times had kept her away from.
 Mrs. Hoots sent the old family fa- vorite to Kentucky and had her bred to Black Toney, and Black Gold was the result.
 Black Gold was. turned over for the development to a Cherokee Indian, turesque products of the half-mile tracks in the middle-wsst and who had ideas about training that the high brow trainers of the big time regarded as dis tinctly of 'bush league character"
 Put His Ideas Across.
 Big trainers believe that a two-year- old never should be started until mid season, but Webb put some of his original ideas into use and sent him to New Orleans to be started during the first week of January. The colt won and they said he would be ruined by a crazy trainer, but the youngster went right on running and righ. on winning.
 At the end of his two-year-old career he had won $19,000 and had set a track record at Jefferson park. He has never been beaten since. His first real won the $10,000 Louisiana Derby at New Orleans.
 In training Black Gold, the Indian violated every rule followed by eastern trainers and when the colt did not break down they accepted him as a freak. Webb worked him to death and when he developed a littleS foot, the trainer ran it out of him. When all other trainers were wrapping up their charges, Webb would leave his black without cover. They all said that Webb neglected the animal and that something should be done about it.
 Sleeps With the Colt.
 Webb never explained or advanced any of his theories. ,S&1e went about his business. The sharps did not know that he slept in the barn with the colt.
 When Black Gold was shipped to Louisville, he was loaded in a cheap box car and Webb was accused of be- ing tight in not getting a fast express to make the journey short for thor oughbred.
 Webb made a reply this time.
 Its my own business" he said. If I'm smart enough to take a slow trip that will get my colt accustomed by degrees to the change in climate condi- tions."
 Mrs. Hoots is not a racing enthusi- ast like Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney and other women who own and operate stables. She inherited Black Gold and she is racing him in memory of the husband who never lost faith in the old mare.
 She did not have a bet down but when her trainer told her that it was a cinch she passed the tip on to the home county anG thei whole district went down on the pride of the com munity.
 Today was the first time that a colt wholly owned by a woman, had won the great classic.

 In the second game Troy scored in the second mining getting one run. Three innings passed by scoreless and in the sixth Dothan put over two men and it looked as if the game would 20 to Dothan.
