HAvRE DE GRACE. Nd, Sept.
81. With one $4,000 stake now q
matter of history, horsemen have
turned their attention to the $4,000
Eastern Shore Handicap. q six-fur-
long sprint for 2-year1olds, to be run
here Wednesday.
Virtually every baby racer Of note
in America has been named for the
event, and the selecting Of the win.
ner Is going to be mighty diff
cult task. Harry Payne Whitney,
whose string of thoroughbreds have
piled up the largest money winning
total of the present season, seems
to hold the whip hand, as he has
tella and Bostonian. This quartet
has worked extremely well since
being shipped here, and 1t may be
that the winner will be Whitney
horse.
Al WestOn's J0pagar, one that
he recently refused $4,000 for,
and which ran q nice race on

moves and will be dangerous on
Wednesday, especially IL the going
happens to be muddy.
Walter NJ. Jeffords' Scapa Flow,
winner of the Belmont Futurity,
and his stable.madte, Point Breeze
are ready. The same applies to the
Sycamore Stables Lord Chaucer,
winner of the Hopeful. This one
went three-quarters in a recent
morning trial in 1:15 3-5, and never
was let down at any stage OF the
trip.
The Idle Hour Stock Farm, owned
by Col. Edward Riley Bradley, has
nominated Buddy Bauer and Bit
O. Love. The pair are on edge and
will have plenty of backing.
The outsiders in the race, who
have better than a Chinaman's
chance, are the Nevada Stock
FARMS Polante, one that recently
went three-eighths In 30 As, and
the Audley Farms Mallard's Mem
Dry, who has been causing the
checkers no end Of worry with his
sensational moves.
It's going to be q slashing race,
and this track will no doubt house
25, 900 fans on race day.

CATALINA SWI I'M
NEXT TEST

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27.-Now
that the English Channel has been
thoroughly tanned. long distance
swimmers with longing for fame
and vaudeville contracts turned
their attention to the unconquered
and defiant twenty-three-mile ex-
panse Of sea water separating Cata-
lima Island from the mainland.
Competition will begin January
Is for the $4,000 prize offered by
William Wrigley, jr., chewing gum
magnate, to the first person swim
ming the Catalina channel. Wrig-
ley set the date in mid-winter, it
was said, to advertise the balmy
climate of Southern California.
But, nevertheless, the water will
be cold.
WrigIey hoped to induce one
swimmer from Denmark, Germany
and England to attempt the swim.
He will give each foreign swimmer
$4,000 for travelling expenses.
American competitors, however,
must pay their own way.
Although the tides are not 30
strong as In the English Channel,
the Catalina swim will be difficult
and hazardous. There is a tide,
and the GOODNESS of the water
causes cramps after several hours.
Contestants will probably paint
themselves black to deceive the
savage barracuda.

rector, to open the exhibition on July
A, and each following Sunday with
such reservations as he deemed ad-
visable. This action was taken not
withstanding the protestations OF
Bishop Berry of the Methodist de-
nomination, and the leaders of other
religious organizations. The de
cision reached by an almost unani'
mouse vote was focused upon the
conclusion that anything of "an edu-
cational, patriotic, cultural and rec
reational nature" should be open tc
the public on Sundays and, un.
doubtedly, the committee is being
supported by a strong majority pub

GAS DECREASE FOR QUANTITY CONSUMER;

The sliding scale of gas rates proposed by the
New Jersey Northern will decided saving for
consumers using than two thousand cubic feet of
gas per month. But it will be increase the small
who less than two thousand cubic feet,
and those who at all during winter months
when their water is heated by furnace coil.
In all fairness to the Gas Company it must be ad-
mitted that they operate loss when they render
2226 bills customers for the minimum service charge
of twenty-five cents The actual cost of reading meters
and rendering bills is much than twenty cents
in addition to the fixed investment of meters installed
Business experts have proven that the average cost
of mailing letters is thrtytwo cents each. This cost is
made up in envelope, etterhead, printing typewriting
and postage And certainly if this true then the cost
is much greater the bills rendered by the Gas Com
pany when to the printing and stationery cost is added
the time of a meter reader and the cost of meters.
The change in provides for minimum charge
of $l.1O on regular meters and $1.00 month slot
meters But if the amount of gas used amounts to
than that then the minimum charge is absorbed,
and only the rate per cubic foot is charged
For instance if you use average of two thous-
and cubic feet per month the present rate of $2.70
per thousand then your bill is $40 for actual gas
used, plus 25c for the service charge making total
of $565.
Under the new rate, if you use two thousand cubic
feet of gas, then you pay $00 for the first 200 feet
$20S for the 500 feet and then $235 for the next
than the old rate
From 1000 to 5000 feet the rate is less-$2.1 10

thousand than the straight $27o being charged
