Fair Annually Since 1890.

MARLBORO remained right much
V of hoss-racin' spot up to the
Civil War The sportively-
inclined of the early days of the Cap
ital were wont to drive to the Prince
Georges town to make pools on their
favoriteS In the War Between the
States most of the folks in Marlboro
and the remainder of Southern Mary
land happened to be on the side that
didn't win, so hoss racin' was aban-
doned while they restored their for
tunes.
But they couldn't keep away from
it long. In 1890, the Southern Mary
land Agricultural Association was
formed and under its auspices hoss-
racin' as we'll as farmers fair was
held. And today this same organiza-
ton is fostering the forty-flfth re-
newal of the fair and races.

Sopwith and His Endeayour Formidable
BY GRANTLAND RICE

Hamas and Lasky, both good
tpunchers, will settle their dispute In
September, leaving at least one native
born in the semi-final patch.
,Carnera and Schmeling will take
up their argument in December to
furnish the party of the second part
from outside shores-Italy or Ger
many.
The two winners will meet in Miami
or New York some time in February.
This means the survivor will be
called on to whip two pretty good
heavyweights, which is about all the
test you can ask.
Over 100000 people saw the Black
Uhlan pick up the German flag to
carry it forWard-about the same
number that saw Tunney and Demp-
sey in Chicago. But there was no
$2,600,000 gate, by carload of marks,
rupees or lira.
The Eastern Four.
1T WILL take some hard crowding
now to keep Phipps, Mills, Gerry
and Post off the Eastern polo
team.
The selection isn't closed as yet,
but this young quartet has started to
sing the winning song as far as the
Eastern election Is concerned. The
one uncertain spot is the condition
of Tommy Hitchcock, who now has
less than two weeks to decide and get
ready.
Phipps, Mills. Gerry and Post make
f1rst-class outfit. Whether they
can out-hit and out-ride Pedley,
Smith, Roark and BoeSeke is another
chapter.

YANKEE IS GIVEN
JOLT BY RAINBOW
Latter Evens Final Trials
With Surprising Victory.
Meet Again Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N NEWPORT, r. L, August d.
M Yankees campaign for the
Y honor of defending the
Americas Cup next month
has met with an abrupt and sur
prising check.
In the same light breeze in which
the Boston sloop had shown to such
advantage previously, Yankee trailed
Harold S. Vanderbilt's newly-con-
Structed Rainbow, the only other con-
tender, by more than minutes in the
fifth race of the final trials yesterday.
For once, Charles Francis Adams,
former Navy Secretary and pilot. of
Yankee, was outmaneuvered at the
start and Rainbow led her home over
the 30-mile triangular course by 3
minutes seconds.
The result left Rainbow and Yam
kee all even on the basis of the final
trials with each holding a victory over
the other. Taking all the prelimi-
nary races into consideration, how
ever, Yankee still holds a wide lead
over the Vanderbilt sloop.
Number of Races a Secret"
THE two contenders were slated
for another brush today but
how many more times they
were to be called upon to race was up
to the Selection Committee of the
New York Yacht Club, entrusted with
the cup defense.
Almost as much interest was
aroused yesterday by an informal duel
between the British challenger, En-
deavour, and Vanitie, Gerard Lam
bert's old and now ineligible cup boat,
as by the Yankee Rainbow race.
Endeavour and Vanitie kept well
away from the defense candidates
during the greater part of their five
hour workout, but as they we're head
ing for home. running off the wind,
no one could escape the conviction
that Endeavour was able to hold
Vanitie on at least even terms and
probably better. This brought no re-
assurance to the defense aspirants,
for the weather was light, and usually
in light air Vanitie has been able to
give the American candidates very
lrksome run for their money.

The little town had the first
track within the confines of what is
now the Free State of Maryland. Back
in the days Of the colony, long before

gathered to race their steeds over a
course on the flats beside the Western
Branch of the Patuxent. Not half
mile from where the present half-mile
track Is located.
They ran their races over a full mile
course then and there were many
thrilling contests. Most of the events
were filled with fast hosses belonging
to the landed gentry of Maryland and
Virginia, but frequently some of the
finest of thoroughbred stock was
brought over from England for special
races
Often the meetings were attended

WHEAT FUTURES DULL;

Minneapolis, Oct. 19.-(R-Wheat
futures were dull and weak through
the late market session here Friday
and closed sharply lower. Buying
power was limited as there was no
mill interest Of Importance and scalp
ers did not hold onto their early pur-
chases very long.
Reports of several cargoes of foreign
rye in transit from Montreal to Chi
cago started rye holders to selling and
some stop-loss selling affected corn
Altogether the day was unsatisfactory
for bulls In general and weakness in
Europe was the main cause Of the pes

Cash wheat was firm to share
stronger with some Of the buyers
selecting types. Offerings were very
light and there was competition here
and there. On the whole there was no
change in prices compared with fu-
lures and demand for local unload
ing continued sluggish. Virtually no
winter wheat was offered and demand
was fair. Durum was slow with Of
ferings light.
Corn demand was quiet with tone
easy. Oats demand was fair to good.
Rye demand was good with offerings
very light. Barley tone was sluggish
and firm with virtually no desirable
offers made. Flax offerings were fair

CHECK OF STREET
NUMBERS TO begin
New Designation Of Fire lnsur-
ance Risks Necessitates
Preliminary Survey

Beginning Monday a crew Of men,
working under the direction of city
officials, will check every building In
the city to make sure THAI each has
correct street numbers properly dis
played.
This survey is the preliminary work
being done in preparation for the re-
rating Of all buildings in the city for
fire insurance. The ratings are made
by the Fire Underwriters Inspection
bureau. Work Of re-rating will be
started shortly after the first Of Nov
ember. Myron Atkinson, city auditor,
said Friday.
A change in the method Of desig-
mating the risks has been adopted by
the underwriters inspection bureau
Rather than designate the buildings
by the ,lot-and block system used
heretofore, the bureau will ask the
street number basis as used In all Of
the larger cities.
Such a change makes it absolutely
necessary that the property owners
place the correct number on the en-
trance to their buildings. This ap-
plies to business as well as residential
structures, Atkinson said.
Inspectors who begin their ,canvass
Monday, will leave statements bear.
ing the correct street numbers where
no numbers are found. These num-
bers must be posted by October 81.
A city ordinance provides tina: street
numbers shall be at least three inches
high and that in case persons fail te
comply with the request to have the
numbers posted, the city Officials
may order it done with the charge
for material and labor added to the
property taxes.

where some 1888 corn is still under

northern and western South Dakota,
where there is very little sealed corn
available and this year: crop Is very
poor.
