The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1948-07-15

In 1898 there appeared the fore
runner of the circus, in the form of
a male camel from the deserts of
Arabia, which was shown here. And
little later, an African lion was on
display in the barn owned by Dr.
Schnebley. Then in the fall of 1899,
the first real circus came, it was
Ricketts, Equestrian Circus" The
people of this and nearby counties
paid one dollar each to see the spec
ialties, practically all horsemanship,
including vaulting, riding of all
kinds, and racing. 1t is reported
that racing captured the spotlight
Immediately and that interest in
this sport never waned. Racing be-
came so popular, that by 1890 there
were regular courses at Williams
port, Hagerstown, Funkstown and
Hancock, with our own Jonathan
Hager and John Raglan managing
the races here, and John Johnson
and Caspar Shaffner managers at
Hancock.
Great crowds gathered to witness
these trials of speed every fall;
and no doubt to risk their hard earn
ed dollars just as they do today.
Purses for the owners were liberal,
and as a result, there were many
really fine horses. The races at Will
Transport, in 1890, were for three
mile heats, open to any horse carry
ing nine stone (126 lbs).
OF course there was opposition to
the racing from the start. But Viii
liams says, ''It was useless for NOR
alists to write and declaim against
it as they did, it was firmly rooted
as an institution of the County and
nothing could induce the people to
abandon it."

Bureau Explains
Enlistee's Rights
Are Eligible For Re-employ-
ment Rights Under New Sc
lective Service Act.

Robert K. Salyers, Director of the
Bureau of Veterans Unemployment
Rights, United States Department of
Labor, announced today that reem-
ployment provisions of the Selec-
tive Service Act of 1913 are APP
plicable to enlistees and reserve per-
sonnet as well as to persons who may
be indicted.
The Solicitor of Labor has issued
an opinion stating although persons
may not be indicted or ordered to
active duty within ninety days af-
ter June "a, 1948, the effective date
of the new draft act, any one vol
UNFAIRLY enlisting or called to active
duty subsequent to that date is en-
titled to all the unemployment rights
and benefits conferred by the act.
The Selective Service Act of 1948
provides that any person enlisting
for more than three years shall be
entitled, upon expiration of his en-
hstment, to unemployment rights.
However, such rights do not carry
beyond the first enlistment unless it
is extended by law A member of
reserve component who responds
to an order or call to an extended
period of active duty is likewise en-
titled to unemployment rights if he
is honorably relieved from such ac-
tive duty not later than three years
from the time he began it, or as soon
thereafter as he is permitted to be
relieved from active duty.
"In general" Salyers stated, "the
unemployment rights conferred by
the new act are substantially like
those guaranteed to veterans OF
World War II. Individuals now in
the service are still covered by the
old acts. Under the new Selective
Service Act, responsibility for as
sistance in connection with reem-
ployment rights is vested in the Sec

ing came near to scoring a hit; they
managed to get the Grand Jury to
take a stand against it, presenting
it not as a violation of the law in
itself, but pointing out that the
races were attended by ''profane
swearing, drunkenness, &c, to the
corruption of youth" Williams
says: ''The jury earnestly hoped
that peaceaBle citizens would dis
continue the practice. But peace
able citizens would do nothing of
the kind, and horse racing went on
for many years"
Raising good horses, especially for
racing purposes, became the sub
ject of much study and interest.
These fine specimens would be
paraded through the town before a
race, until city ordinance put a
stop to this as a nuisance.
The name of one horse appears in
the early history; the story was told
in 'aThe Spy of 1893. This was
Sportsman, of the real Hunter
breed, a beautiful and remarkably
elegant imported horse" which was
to pass through this town on his way
to his then owner, George Clarke,
Esq, of Green Castle"
It is worth repeating that on one
occasion the post man who brought
the mail to this section from Balti-
more, came with no mail, stating
that the Baltimore office was closed
because everybody there wanted to
go to horse race.
