Sloane Horse
Becomes 1884
King of Turf
Arlington Victory Increases
CavaICade'S Winnings
to $126,965.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 16.-Mrs. Isabel
Dodge Sloane, wealthy SpOrtswOman,
bought him at Saratoga IN. "
auction as a yearllng for $1,000.
Smiling Bob Smith, &c, and wise
in the way Of horses, trained him.
Uncle Mack Garner, "a, and also
wise in the way of horses, rode him.
That's the triumvirate which
brought Cavalcade to the 3-year-old
championship of the American turf.
But Cavalcade had to do the run
ming, and turf critics today praised
his victory in Saturdays Arlington
classic as his greatest feat Of the
year.
He was away last and dared the
other eight to outrun him as he
trailed the field They tn>d, but
none could stave off that n agnif-
cent finish which enabled h m to
run the mile and a quar-er in
2:O24-5, only a second off tie crack
record held by OF Sun Beau, and
finish four lengths ahead Of his
shadow, Discovery Hadagal was
third and RiskuluS fourth.
His Sixth Triumph
The classic victory gave Cavalcade
six triumphS in seven starts this
season and the undisputed 3-year-
old title, the first since Gallant Fox
held the honor in 1880. His stable
mate, High Quest, beat him a neck
in the mile and three siXteenths
PreaknesS-a defeat which prevents
Calvacade from having a perfect B.
year-old record.
Trainer Smith was undecided to-
day about sending Calvacade against
older horses. There is a slight pos
sibility that Cavalcade may start in
the Arlington handicap next Sat
urday against Ladysman, EquipOiSe's
cOnqueror, and Indian Runner,
winner of the Stars and Stripes.
Present plans, however, are for
CaValcade to make his next start at
Saratoga.
BY adding the classic to his vic
tories in two races at HaVre De
Grace. the Kentucky, American and
Detroit derbies, CaValcade increased
his earnings for the year to SILL
235. The classic prize was $30,325.
Cavalcade's total earnings are $126,-
965.
Trainer Comments
The inevitable comparison with
Man O. War, Americas immortal
racehorse, has brought this COM
ment from trainer Smith:
Il don't know whether Cavalcade
is as good as Man O. War, but he
is the next thing to him if he's
not"
That means that Trainer Smith
at least believes Cavalcade is a
greater colt than Reign Count, Gal
liant Fox, Twenty Grand, zev, Cru
sader, and some Of the other cham
pions Of the past.
The throng of 10000 at Arlington
Park Saturday thought highly of
Cavalcade, backing him down to 1-3.
A Sc bet across the boards on Cav
alcade brought only $1.04 profit,
with a winning ticket paying $274,
a place ticket $2.16 and show tick
ct S2.14.

Mitchell slipped over par on the

Sinking a flfty-yard niblick shot
for an eagle on the sixth hole
enabled the young star to go 2 up
and he held that lead at the turn.
He was out in Sc, even par, while
Mitchell had 80.
The youngster not only ten

SO strong and unfailing an influence on the imaginations
Of mankind as has the Cradle Of Christianity.
In Jerusalem, practically unchanged through nine
teen hundred years, are the scenes that Christ knew.
The age old hills of Judea remain through time, as do
the green pastures and still waters of Biblical s%ignific-
ance. The Garden of Gethsemane is trere, and the
Cradle Of Jesus. The River Jordan, by it's name the
mightiest of all the rivers Of the world, flows on as ever,
serenely to the sea. And in quiet Palestine are the
streets and buildings that were old before the CHRISTIAN
calendar began. The Plain of Sharon is still fruitful,
and the rose which Solomon sang in the most majestic
Of of all poetry, blooms profusely. And there is Cana of
Galilee, scene of the wedding feast, and Nazareth, where
the carpenter who was to change all the civilized world
grew to manhood. Not an inch Of earth but is rich in
history, and in the lore of ages. Not a scene but brings
to mind some stirring passage from ire Testaments.

is a strange fact that but one in two hundred of the
ministers who preach the gospel in this country, have

congregations have set foot on the ground that the
prophets trod. Palestine is beside creed, beside denomi-
