group of pioneers came to Iowa and
settled on a site of land in the north
east corner of the state where the
tall corn grows" We have our mini
ature golf courses, miniature auto
mobiles. etc, but these hardy people
were way in advance of the modern
trend of events-the- built a min1a-
ture church which is today known as
one of the smallest churches in the
world.
1t is situated on the banks of Tur-
key river, which, generally, flows
along quite rapidly but when it
reaches the church it seems to pause
in its rush to the Mississippi. to pay
tribute and receive benediction from
this little church which stands its
lonely vigil over the seven or eight
graves in the graveyard.
The road leading to the church from
the town of Festina is not hard-sur-
faced as one would almost surmise.
1t is a narrow dirt road winding in
and out through hilly country. The
drive is by no means monotonous-
the beautiful landscape. the hills and
wales, and the trees lining the road.
all serve to make the trip a memoir
able one. Thousands of people from
all parts of the United States, and
even from foreign countries, flock to
this isolated spot in Iowa to view the
church.
An Interesting Structure.
1t has a history, an interesting
history, which has been written down
by someone on a sheet of framed
paper which now hangs on the walls
of the diminutive vestibule.
The church is of the Catholic creed
and dedicated to Anthony of Padua of
whom a statue stands beside the altar.
The original structure which was
built of wood. burned down. but was
replaced in 1884 by stone edifice
few feet from the site of its pre-
decessor. Once a year services are
held and many people attend. Now
and then couples are joined in holy
wedlock at this small but famous
church.
On entering it one first comes into
the vestibule where literature and
pictures of the church may be found.
Then passing into the church proper
one finds four pews, two on either
side of the very small aisle. These
pews seat two adults each which
makes a total seating capacity of
eight, with little room in front for
the altar and the priest. The altar
is always bedecked with beautiful
flowers placed there by people in the
! immediate vicinity of the church d.
rect descendants of the pioneers who
built it.
There are four colored windows,
each with a name inscribed thereon.
One. which bears the name Johann
Gaertner. is of special interest to the
| visitor. He was mentioned in the
history of the church as a man who
fought under Napoleon. emperor of

There is no doubt but the

those of the majority of the

For. instance, right field at
Oriole Park measures 313 feet

That distance is greater than

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y.
Aug. 16.-At a mile and one
quarter, with 126 pounds apiece
in the Stirrups, before a crowd
of 10000 persons, over a track
that promises to be good If not
fast, Gallant Fox and Whichone
meet again this afternoon, to
settle beyond further question
which is the better horse.
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt is
here along with one Of the
wealthiest and most fashionable
throngs that ever gathered under
the giant shade trees Of this his
toric watering spot.
There is no 'discounting that
Gallant Fox is the popular horse.
Men and women who. never have
known the name of another race
horse save Man O. War know him
by name and are here this after
noon, so that they may say for
years to come:
II saw Gallant Fox win the
TraverS at Saratoga"
The Fox not only was the
popular, but also the betting
favorite along Saratoga'S Broad
way, and the famous old civil war
course on Union Avenue this
morning. They were quoting him
at 8 to 10 and Whichone at even
money, and on the three other
horSeS-Jim Dandy, CaruSo and
Sun Falcon-named for the race
you could write your own
ticket without even making your
conscience your guide.
Sunny Jim" FitzSimmons, griZ-
zled, weatherbeaten, man who
has been with the horse for 10,
the many years, was almost cock
sure when he arrived with owner
Woodward to inspect the Old Fox
this morning. He says:
'My colt was never better. He
has done everything I have ever
asked him to do and done it
without undue effort. He
worked the TraverS distance Of
q mile and quarter i'm 2:O4 Is
the six furlOngS in 1:14. He is
sound horse and none Of us
will have any excuse for him If
he fails to win this afternoon"
And Earl Sande, who will wear
the scarlet cap and white blouse
with scarlet dominoes, felt the
same.
"We'Il win," he said, and
Sande is not the type to make
rash promises.
But across the way in the per-
fectly-kept Whitney stables there
was the same feeling Of assurance.
And the Whitney contingent had
an even more impressive workout
at which to point. After the NIL
Ter stakes on Tuesday the gliding
son of Chicle- Flying Witch worked
out the same distance in 2:O3 Is
with Workman holding him in his
lap. =:
If all five horses named face
the starting tapes in the TraverS,
which is doubtful, the race viii be
worth close to $40, 900 to the win
ner. This would put Gallant Fox,
now the second money winning
race horse Of all time. right up
with Zev.
