Down the Stretch
By GREG JOHNSON

H1ALEAH PARK, Fla, Jan. a.
AL Jolson never would have stood
in the glare of the footlights but
for horse racing.
Sounds strange, but nevertheless
true, but to give you the lowdoWn
I'll repeat same as told me by an
old Negro swipe working here.
Twas in the days when AL was
a gypsy. Prior thereto he had been
a Jockey. Critics said he was the
worst that ever stuck a foot clear
through a stirrup iron, heel and all.
Young Jolson would whisper into
the ears Of any man he could get
into a corner that incompetent
trainers were to blame for his never
having ridden winner. Why didn't
they train their horses to run
faster?
Wherefore, the future stage IA
vorite bought horse, named him
Greatest Ever. And AL trained the
beast himself. As no running horse
trainer yet had been able to condi-
ton a horse fast enough for AL to
ride him home a winner, the young
man decided that he would train
Greatest Ever along trotting horse
lines.
Now, If you are acquainted with
the sulky-horSe game at all, you
will know that bringing a trotter
to the peak of his form is largely
a matter of "honing." And Jolson
honed Greatest Ever to an edge that
no trotting- horse trainer had yet
attained. And the SKINNER Great
est Ever became, the more Jolson
loved him.
Greatest Ever's first appearance
was scheduled for a county fair at q
little Nevada town called Great
Cayuse. It disappeared from the
map in one of Nevada's big blows
years ago.
Race day came and Jolson had
Greatest Ever tied to a snubbing
post in front of the tent stall, COW
cred completely with a beautiful and
rather hefty homemade blanket,
For JolSon, you see, was q shelk,
even in those early days, and some
fair damsel had presented Greatest
Ever with blanket.
About noontime portly gentle
man of friendly mien paused at the
Jolson stable. He gazed for a mo-
ment on the conformation of Great
est Ever. his skinniness visible even
with a blanket.
whats the idea of covering that
horse with so heavy q blanket, it's
a bit windy today but surely you
wouldn't call it cold. He looks too
weak to stand up under It," said the
stranger.

WATCH OVER has turned in
three excellent efforts at this
session and he appears to have q
bit Of an edge on this good field.
Let's make the horse the safest
wager Of the day. HIGH ONE
has been close in recent tests
and he could be very troublesome.
RIFTED CLOUDS should better

listed among casualties of re-
cent air raid in England was Will
-, liam Candy, of Cheltenham. To
most people he is just another name"
but to many scientists and collectors
who will mourn his death, he was
something more, for with his death
passes one of the most unique trades in
existence.
Candy was probably the only man
in the world who mended eggs for a
livelihood. Not the common barnyard
variety, but priceless eggs of extinct
birds, which, when accidentally broken,
were sent to him from every quarter
of the globe to be repaired. He once
pieced together an emu's egg that had
been smashed into a hundred pieces
and it looked like new. Several speci-
mems of his handiwork may be seen in
the British Museum.
The eggs of extinct birds have a
value to the naturalist and collector
that is enormous.
Probably the great aux, or gare-
fowl, is a more familiar name than any
other extinct bird, its eggs being on
exhibition in several museums. There
are in existence only IS of these eggs
of which America possesses three-one
at Washington, one at Vassar College
and one at the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia.
The specimen at the National Mu-
scum in Washington, purchased in 1851
for about 500, has increased in value
more than ten times. A private col
lector in North London is said to have
paid the largest price yet given for
one Of these eggs, close to $4,000.
Many aux eggs have interesting
stories connected with their discovery
and sale In 1879 two were purchased
at sale in Edinburgh for 81 each.
They sold a little later for $4,000
Another specimen, bought for 5000
went to an American collector for $500
The great aux lived in several parts
of northern Europe, in Labrador, and
off the southwest coast of Iceland
where 1t bred in quantities on the gare-
fowl skerries. Audubon says that 1t
was fairly plentiful also in Newfound-
land and about Nahant. Massachusetts,.
1t measured about three feet in length,

was black on the back. white under
meath, and had a large beak. Its wings
were so small that they were absolute
ly useless for flying, though they were
a help in swimming.
The eggs were approximately five
inches long by two to three inches wide,
and weighed between two and three
pounds.
The moa was a gigantic bird Of New
Zealand. which probably became extinct
about the time Columbus discovered
America. The legends among the Ma
oris regarding them and the finding
of their remains were first known in
1888. One Of the eggs was found in
the grave of a Maori chieftain, where
for centuries it had lain unbrokeu. It
measured six and a half by ten and a
half inches, and was greenish in color.
The value of such a find is absolutely
beyond price.
The bird commonly known as the roc
was the aepyronis. sometimes confused
with the moa. 1t is not believed TO have
survived to the time of man. It's habi-
tat was Madagascar, where many Of
its huge eggs have been exhumed from
the drifting sands of the southern por-
ton of the island. They are about nine
by Is inches in size or double that Of
ostrich eggs which the roc probably
resembled. There is a specimen in the
British Museum, which had been brok-
en- and restored by Mr.. Candy Like
the eggs of the moa, il is impossible to
estimate the value of such a rarity as
it is not offered for sale ard there
fore, has no market price.
The eggs of the white BOBBY are
collectors items very rarely offered
for sale. Most of them are in museums
This bird lived on the coast Of New
foundland, and has long been extinct
The eggs are valued by authorities at
from $500 upward.
The aptornis is another extinct New
Zealand bird. It's eggs are rare, and a
specimen would bring from $1,000 up,
If one could be found for sale.
OF all the birds now in existence the
ostrich lays the largest egg, but rela-
tive to its size the XVI a strange.
wingless New Zealand species of os-
trich, is the champion, with an egg

antIy Sarcastic Sketch at the Top
of the Page. This Picture Was
Drawn in the 1905 by the Then
Famous French illustrator A.
Robida, Who Was Hah-Joking When He
dIcted That Women Would Parade in I
In Scanty Bathing Suits.
aUST before the turn of the century
in the era of the hustle and
the mustache cup, few artists in
France had a greater or a more
amused following than a man who
signed his works A. Robda. Monsieur
Robida was a good draughtsman. who
could do as well as the next one with
a serious subject when he turned his
hand to IT, But mostly he drew comic
and sarcastic sketches Of the so-called
gentler sex.
Some of his women he made brawny
and militaristic. He showed them on
parade with flags flying and guns in
hand. One such picture is shown on
this page and got many guffaw out
of the Parisians who saw il in one
of their magazines almost half
century ago
II is said that Robida didn't actually
believe that the profession of arms ever
would appeal to women, or that they
would be any good in warfare. But his
picture Of feminine soldiers has come
grimly true as another of the photo
graphs on this page attests.
The French cartoonist never saw
iitterbug-because there weren't any
such things in his day but, apparently
he had the notion in the back of his
head that the time would come when
the waltz and the gavotte would no
longer suffice. He predicted, with sly
accuracy. that public dancing eventual
~ would shake off the shackles of de
corum. In short, he called the turn on
the worlds hep cats" "alligators,"
rug cutters" and their ilk.
Even those pageants Of pulchritude
more popularity known as bathing
beauty contests were in his prophetic
Imagination during the days when it
was all a woman's reputation was
worth for her to appear on the beach
with her neither limbs unstockinged.
Even in France the outfits that the fair
sex wore at the seashore were baggy
and r7Iffled ensembles that left a great
deal 10 the imagination and did little to
acquaint the vacatoning public with
the form divine.
The big drawing at the top Of the
page shows Monsieur Robda's guess
about the bathing beauty contest which
has become a popular institution since
his time. He was surprisingly accurate
although he did not forecast the stream
lined one-piece bathing suits that, ex-
cept in the minds Of prudishly Victorian
citizens, are making the world better
place TO live In.
During his lifetime the French illus
traitor made hundreds Of sketches on
the order Of those reproduced on this
page. He foresaw the time when de
cent" women would be able to enter
business and the professions on a par
with men WITH equal clarity he yisioned

the day when women would stand at
the bar with their boy friends and toss
off their cocktails and highballs with
out being suspected Of belonging in
that category Of womanhood which the
French delicately describe as "demi-
mondaine."
He made another good guess with his
pictures of women going in for strenu-
GUS sports. At time when a girl was
looked upon as a shameless tomboy if
she did anything athletically more vio-
lent than tapping shuttlecock with
light racquet. he had the girls in his
pictures boxing. wrestling leaping over
hurdles and otherwise taking a fling at
the strenuous life.
Most of the Frenchmen of the late
10th century thought NJ. Robida was
very funny. but few Of them expected
his cartoons to come true during his
lifetime. To them he was a wit, not a
prophet.
No museum seems TO have taken the
trouble to collect these Gay Nineties
predictions Of what the world was
going to be like today, but 1t is said
that many private collectors are paying
a good price for old magazines in which
Monsieur Robida's cartoons are to be
