 Goshen. N. r.. Aug f7.-fUP)- Seen and heard at Goshen on Ham, bletonian day: t. ;
 Ben White, the 60-year old. gray-haired veteran who drove Mary Reynolds to victory in the $50,000 classic, receiving guests in the stable after the race What's everybody so S excited about?" he asked. "shucks. it was just another race against the same. horses we've been meeting all season."
 White, who has been training and driving trotters since he was 21, learned the business under the daddy of all trotting men. the late Pop Geers. He expects to drive ten years more.
 You have heard walls of anguish in your life, but nothing to com pare with the moan and groan that went up from the packers of Brown Berry when that colt stumbled and fell one hundred yards from home in the final heat of the Hamble- tonian ... the fact that Brown Berry was leading at the time didn't make the screams more pleasant. Driver Fred Egan owes his life to the skill with which he brought Brown Berry to his feet, for when the colt stumbled, Egan was thrown between :. the cI1 n fke <Ha Hn xl -l. A.. inent danger of getting his head kicked off. Brown Berry wouldn't have won. however, for Mary Rey~ holds was less than head behind and coming like gazelle late for a date with his gal.
 When thesrace was over Mary's owner, W. N. Reynolds of Win ston-Salem, the big cigarette man, sat down and wrote himself out a check for $28.000 and stuck it in his pocket. Reynolds is treasurer of the Hambletonian society which pays off the winner.
 Reynolds, who is worth more millions than there are hairs on a cats back, danced a jig when his pacer, Dick Reynolds, won the free for all pace event, and hugged the ANeSAO oaAVCA Aut UOW1 IIdI SOcS Y IO the winning owner to his heart. Reynolds two winning horses were named after afniece and nephew, who watched their namesakes from the grandstand. p$
 If they give gold stars for att tendance Tom Gahagan, newspa- perman,i must have a trunk full, for he has missed but one day in 27' years of grand circuit racing. l.. The record crowd of 30,000 wagered something like $100, 00e on the Hambletonian. Most of this, however, was bet by some 200 men in the auction pools. Henry M. Knight of Chicago, Y bought every ticket available on his entry Spencer McEIwyn, knowing that Spencer had about as much chance as a one-legged man in kicking contest. " " s3-5.e f

As the years pass, and the un- initiated read of the progress of polo as an international sport, the mistaken impression still held by many that it Is game for rich young fellows with nothing to do except ride horse and chase 8 little white ball, is slowly disap- bearing. Take that clash at Chi cago yesterday. when the eastern team, led by Tommy Hitchcock took the western riders into camp to even the series and necessitate a play-off game Sunday. The Unit ed Press reports 1t lone of the toughest polo games ever played in this country" and by record of the number of spills and the fractured
 leg suffered by Rube Williams stel- lar western defensive star, there must have been some rough riding comparable to the best that ever took San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt. Bet that game Sunday

How Chicks Live Inside
 Egg She'll and Peck Out

How does the unmatched chick breathe inside its shell. if 1t does breathe? How does a chick know when to hatch? How does 1t crack It's shell?
 These are some of the questions q good many people would probably not be able to answer.
 Plainly. the shell of the egg looks much too hard and brittle for an un- matched. frail little creature to crack without much difficulty. But nature has equipped the chicken with special little "egg-tooth" for this par ticular purpose. The egg tooth grows on the upper beak of the chicken, which uses 1t as little chisel with which to break out of its shell when its strengthening muscle makes 1t stretch its neck. The egg-tooth disap- pears a day or two after the chick has matched.
 If you should paint an egg in which there was baby chick, the little thing would die of suffocation. For the ba- by chicks breathe inside their shells before they hatch as we'll as after wards. The air comes right through their shells, which are full of very tiny holes, though we can't see them. Tn the thin skin just under the shell are many tiny blood vessels. These carry the air to all parts of the de- veloping chick and carry away the carbon dioXide which the unmatched chicken. like all animals, gives off.
 The chick, which begins as only speck in the yellow part of the egg, requires water. too, as it grows. and there is plenty of water in the egg; and sometimes the newly matched chicks live for several days without water because of the supply they had in their shells.-St. Louis Globe Demo- crat.

How Blotters Came About

The discovery of plotting paper was due to an accident In an English paper factory. A careless workman forgot to put the sizing into a certain lot of paper and the result was thought to be an entire waste. The proprietor of the mill was very angry and sat down to write note of protest to the negligent workman. He thought that a piece of the ruined paper would be good enough for this purpose and was further annoyed to find that his ink spread and was absorbed by the paper Then the idea occurred to him that the paper might be used instead of sand for drying wet Ink. Experi- ments proved him right, and the lot of "ruined" paper was advertised un- der the name of "blotting paper."- St. Louis Globe Democrat.
