the 8-to-5 favorite; and he ran
like a 1-to-10 shot.
Deceptive workouts are an old
story, of course, but Mister Gus
was no morning glory. Breaking
from a favorable outside post po-
sition, in an diversified field OF
%, he ran his opposition dizzy
in the first half mile, going that
far in :4425. He did the second
quarter in % fiat.
ExcelIed Top Performances.
For pure speed it excelled any
performance any of the writers
could remember. Closest to il
was the time Count Fleet took
off" with Johnny Longden in his
final workout for the 1912 Flu
turity and ran six furlongs in
exactly the same time turned in
by Mister Gus Saturday.
Mister Gus dazzling exhibit
ton took much of the crowds at

featured Jockey Club Gold Cur
and Champagne Stakes. Every
body leaving the park talked
about the bay f1reball with the
star on his forehead, and Mister
Gus promises to be a hot topic
for months to come. Exactly how
good he is remains to be seen.
Mister Gus is not considered
too faShionably bred, although
his sire is NaSrullah, daddy OF
Moor and some other good ones
His dam. Fichu. was in foal to
Nasrullah when Ring bought her
on one of his jauntS overseas. As
Mister Gus was foaled at North
cliff Farm. near RiXeyville, Va,
he is listed as homebred and
Mr.. Ring as the breeder.
Owned Other Good Horses.
Fichu has a $3.50 3-year-old
son. Marble Hall. by Combat,
racing in this country. She also
has an unnamed weanling by
Kitchen Police at her side at
Northcliff. Marble Hall was a
twin.
Fast and good horses are not
new to Ring or his wife, who
shares his enthusiasm for the
turf and other sports. They
owned Hasteville, who set a Az
furlong track record of :523s at
Pimlico on April 81, 1912, and
they also owned the good, gray
mare. Lady Maryland, once a
great favorite on Maryland
tracks. But never have they had
anything that looked as promis-
ing as the rocket-like Mister Gus
Kay Jensen trains the colt
who is rather small and doesn't
have a hearty appetite. Mister
Gus wasn't raced in Chicago

colt had collie, but Jensen de.

afraid I would ruin him if I lei

Local baseball fans are having a
big time watching the big league
games on television. Some shout
with glee while others are peeved
and want to argue about what
happened and why their favorite
team went down to a crushing de
feat. However one good sign is
that none of them ever want to do
any betting as all of the mare not
so inclined. AS the season wears
on the excitement grows and prob
ably before the end of the season
some of them will be too much ex-
cited and angry to go near the TV

to watch around the set at their

George Bean of Wilmington says
that he is still laughing about an

shoes. One girl Loretta Bailey,
was to get the shoes. A comapn-
ion went along to see that she got
there all right while the second
companion went along to carry the
money and to see that the girl
got back home safely after the ex-
perience. The account also said
these girls were from the vicinity
of Cypress Bridge and the trio ap-
peared to be about IL years of
age for each.

Counties have spoken this past week for bigger share
of road funds apply county roads declaring that many
country roads important than the states second
roads The amount Of money spent county roads IN
years has been small in comparison to the amount
spent the states primary and secondary systems There
appears be real merit in the plea Of the State Association
of County Commissioners money for the thousands
of miles of county roads that have had initial i'm
provement.
There several hundred such roads in this county
alone, and hear of them only when delegation appears
before the County Commissioners and asks that something
be done lift them out of the mud The Commissioners
Of course handicapped in having limited funds-funds
that must be used to keep present county roads in repair
keep roads open and pasabe during the winter and to build
only few miles of road each year

by the State Roads commission the 12ear period would
be concerned with the states secondary road system,

increased traffic, but also feel that citizens
dirt have long been forgotten There should be
happy medium somewhere that would result in savings in

secondary roads putting dual highways where they not
needed to such extent that money could be spent
on first improvements to mud roads
That would be better in many than in providing
improved speedways that many lives to be lost in
