Mr.. Richardson, ell alma del de-
porte hipico en- Puerto Rico, que
rido y respectable por TODD aman-
tie de las carreras de caballos, te-
mido por por los que actdan inco-
rrectamente, en- fin, la fgura mas
prominente del deporte hfpico, es-
ia de placemes. Ell Hon. Gober-
nador de Puerto Rico ACADIA de
obsequiar a este senior con dos
nuevos compaheros, ouienes jun
tos con ell Sr. Richardson, forman
el triunvirato ideal para regir los
destincs h:picos de Puerto Rico.
Mr.. Such es un caballero active Y
eXtrcmadamente enthusiastic. Ell es
capaz de triunfar donde nadie
suefe con remotas probabilidades
de exito. Ell tempo Y estudio que
sean necesarios para una empire
sa, mientras mayores sean, mayer
entusiasmo demuestra por ella.
A Diaz Collazo no es n~ecesario
in~troducirlo al elemento hipico por
ser un hombre publico, y per 10
tanto, los grandes meritos que
alderman su persona son muy CO.
nocidos por todos. No podia ser de
otro modo. Los candidates presen-
tados al Gobernador para de entire
clos escoger los dos que habia que
nombrar, son todas personals de 10
mas selecto de nuestro mundo in
telectual.
Estos tres caballeros que ten
dram sobre 81 ell peso de la reor-
ganizaci6n hipica, seran respon-
sables de cualquier fracaso que
pueda tener, pero asimismo Sc
llevaran la. gloria completa de

Tan SECURES estamos de la labor de

atrevemos a adelantar que jamas

MARCH INSANE TO SAFETY
WHEN FIRE IS DISCOVERED

ALLENTOWN, Pa, July 19.-Re-
markable discipline among the force
of employees who marched more
than 200 PATIENTS to safety, pre-
vented possible panic among the
inmates Of the State Hospital for
the Insane, after a fire was dis
covered in the linen storeroom Of
the women's ward. Heavy smoke
filled the building, but the prompt
action of some Of the attaches,
who lined up the patients and
marched them in good order to the
mems building. while other EN-.
ployees attacked the fire, prevented
any disorder.
A large portion Of this city's fire
apparatus responded to the alarm,
and after three-quarters of an
hours work the flames were ex.
tinguished. The loss was about
$4,000. Hospital authorities are
investigating the cause Of the fire.
While the blaze was in progress.
an inmate working on the outside
OF the building, hit Harry Law. an
attendant, on the head with q
shovel, and fractured his skull.

VIEWS ON EARLY
20 I | ERY
VARIED
Ar Of English Potters IN Pro-
ducing Colonial" Ware
Described by Expert

Many Of the American views pro-
duced by old English potters are
found on pitchers only, while others
occur on teapots, bowls and mugs.
A,large number Of these prints was
also placed on plates and platters.
One Of the most familiar designs
which Is found on Liverpool cream
ware pitchers, shows the portraits
Of Samuel Adams and John Han
cock, placed side by side. and
around the medallion Is printed the
following inscription: ''The Memory
81 washington and the Prescribed
Patriots Of America. Liberty, Wiz.
tue, Peace, Justice and Equity to
All Mankind" Below occurs the
couplet: .CoIumbia's Sons Inspired
BY freedoms Flame, Live in the
Annals OF Immortal Fame"
On the upper part Of the device
is q weeping willow, and a lnonu-
Ment which contains the words:
SACRED to the Memory Of G..
Washington, who ennahcipated
America from Slavery and founded
o Republic upon such Just and
equitable principles that 1t win =
The Liverpool pitchers are mainly
Of one form, or q modification OF
the same,-a tall, gracefully
body with sharp, pointed lip, whose
upper line IL q continuation Of the
horizontal line Of the rim; the han.
ole Is plain oval, starting on q
level with the top Of the body and
terminating about the center Of the
side.
This form. while light and grace
ful. is simple In the extreme, with
out any relief ornamentation what
ever, presenting perfectly plain
surface admirably suited for, deco
ration.
Such was the typical pitcher made
IN Liverpool late in the last CEN
fury and early In this, and to it
may properly be applied the term
Colonial"
Liverpool ware is distinguished
BY It's cream-colored body and its
black prints of copperplate engrav-
1ngs, usually under the glaze, or
frequently covered with a gloss
which gives them the appearance of
having been applied beneath the
glaze.
Occasionally these prints were re-
touched by hand with color, but
the majority Of pieces which have
come down to us are printed In
black, an occasional one being found
in green or brown.
The collector and classifier Of
Liverpool pieces is met with DIFF.
ficulty at the outset, which makes
It well-nigh impossible to prepare
Q complete list Of the different
varieties.
The copperpIate engravers who
were employed at the establish
ments where this ware was PRO-
duced prepared q great variety of
decorative designs, which were aft
erwards used indiscriminateIy by
the transfer printers, to fill in
blank spaces on the cream-colored
body Of the china.
Thus various subjects are used
IN all manner of combinations. Two
pieces, similar in form and bearing
on one side the same device, will
frequently be found to differ on the
other side.
