CONTINUED WARM WEATHER DELAYS 0LYM
HOPE To RACE
BOB-SLE|GHS
TOMORROW
BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS


LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb.
12.-Because of continued warm
weather and rain, the first two
heats of the Olympic four man
bob run championship again
were postponed today.
They are now scheduled to be
held tomorrow and Sunday,
weather permitting. Rain in
Lake Placid, like frost in Florida,
is something to be ignored.
Yesterday the good citizens of
this town, which nestleS so
snugly among the towering peaks
of the Adirondacks, were con-
siderably put out when three
special trains roared into town
discharging more than 1000 pas
sengers who we're expecting to
alight at the station and be hap
PLY excited by the sight OF dog
teams, exquimax mountains of
snow and fur clad sons of the
north.
Rivers Of SluSh
But instead they were greeted
by a warm rain, rivers OF sluSh,
cab drivers with umbrellas and
a temperature of so degrees.
1t was all very annoying and
very unfortunate as yesterday
was the first bad day in weeks.
Clear frosty air. daily falls OF
snow, and lake that was a
sheer glistening platter OF ice
have been the lot of those who
arrived early.
There was only one Olympic
event on the sports calendar yes
terday, the ski jump, which was
the second half of the combined
ski race and ski jump event.
A large crowd, which included
a gentleman from New York
named James Walker, watched The
boys who have fun leaping off a
skeleton-like structure with barrel
slaves on their feet and when 1t
was all over it was discovered that
Hans Vinjarengen, of Norway, had
leaped 81 meters, or 204 feet, to
make the longest jump of them
all.
Ivan Sven Erickson, of Sweden,
had planted his brogans just 61.5
meters away from the take-off and
Fritz Kaufman, of Switzerland,
had leaped SO meters in a grace
full parabola to register the third
best jump.

Descending at Fifty-ninth Street,
Becka led him eastward to Columbus
Circle. The tall shaft in the center,
the different aspect of the people, the
absence of push carts, and the dearth
of children, puzzled John. Dodging the
whirling steam of cyclists, they entered
the shaded walks of Central Park
through a rustic arbor. The dusty
white macadam drives were lively

outs, and the "clank" and "clink" of
fashionable harness trappings.

by his awkward inexperience, had at

evinced small interest. She soon
walked out with Sol, then earning, as
she boastfully conhded to John, the
princely salary of twenty-five dollars

Stafford, Aug. % = Over 500
more citizens of Graham county
have signified their intention of
voting at the primary election on
September 18th than during the
election of 1880.
The registration two years ago
was 3,676 compared with APIS this
year, an increase of $50. The total
registration is made up of 1888
Democrats and 663 Republicans and
fourteen miscellaneous registrations.
Most of the increase is due to pso-
pie returning to Graham county
from other counties, especially coun-
ties in which mining camps were
closed, as q result of the depression.

to the show.
And, as another side line, Sol Bern

boys in clandestine boxing bouts of
the lower city, taking him from hall to
hall on Saturday nights, acting as his
! manager. These adventures were re-
! lief to the growing dislike he .elt fer
the Clothing Emporium and its cloying
Saneness. Fighting had become second
nature to him. He liked the heat of
combat and his craving for the ex-.
citement of the fight grew with his
success.
1t was late in November when Sci
Bernfeld matched John against "Rasp-
err Jorgan, known to the Greenpoint
section as the "Polack Wonder" The
boys were 10 weigh in at one hundred
and thirty-three, ringside, and go ten
rounds in one of the preliminary bouts
before the famous Samson Sporting
Club. It was the most ambitious bout
yet secured by Manager Bernfeld, and
the purse, so Sol stated, was to be
twenty-five dollars, to the winner If
John won he would split with John,
taking ten dollars for his share, and

Let us go back, in an orderly way,
and sketch the story of the Van Horns
as generally understood; the myths of
the new city are its "old families"
running back two or three or even
four generations.
Guysbert Van Horn, great-grand-
father of Gilbert, was man of hard
common sense and the sor of no less
man than Peter Van Horn, who
came over from Holland as young
man, preferring an English colony,
with Dutch traditions, to life at home.
Guysbert was man of frugal habits
and OF strong religious convictions,
when drunk or sober, in fact man
we'll calculated to prosper in the new
New York. His son, Van Winckle Van
Horn, proved true son of New York.
Born in 1900, he married a Lambert
and determined to found the Van
Horn fortune on the future of the city.
He believed New York would even
tually grow northward, in spite of ITS
width from river to river. In the face
| of much contrary advice he bought
cheap land far to the north in the tract
lof Greenwich Village, and he held on.
