a becoming gown Of black velvet

RAILROAD POLICE DRIVE
 PARKERS FROM STATION
Automobile Owners Warned Not to Use Private Property Unless
 Having Business There.

Railroad police of the New Haven road are at the local station in an effort to prohibit parking on the railroad property. There have been many complaints on the part of people who are on business at the station that they are not able to park their cars near the station and are forced to walk some distance. It is thought that if there is a con- tinuation of the drive and fines in the police court, there will be a stop to the practice of parking on the property.
 As the police are not stationed at the station at regular times there is no way of telling whether or not the car is in danger of being tagged No attention is paid to the signs pro- hiblting parking and the railroad police say they will feel justified in halin gthe drivers of parked cars into court without further warning.

 Only Seven Finish
 But American hopes for a Billy Barton victory were destined to be lost in that second and last wild gallop around the treacherous haz- ard-strewn triangular course. as horses and men went down together in a tangle of legs and hoofs.
 Billy Barton finally came to grief in the country far from the stands and of the nine American-owned en- tries Easter Hero was the only one to finish.
 Only seven horses in all completed the course although 66 started.
