Famous FilIy Runs
At Delaware Park
Royal Native In Race Tomorrow
May Add To Laurels

If you plan to be at Delaware
Park this Saturday, as so many
thousands of racing enthusiasts
do, you'll see a 4-year-old fiIly
who has proved more valuable
than an entire baseball team in the
Glass AAA International League.
Her Irame is Royal Native, and she
looms favorite for the rich New
Castle Stakes, second gem in Del
aware Parks quarter-million dol
lar Distaff Big Three series.
Speaking of a quarter-million
dollars, that's what Miami Beach
sportsman William M. Macdonald,
Jr., paid in Florida last winter for
Royal Native-$252,500, to be ex-
act. Macdonald also bought the Mi
ami Martins ball club around the
same time, for something less than
he paid for Royal Native. At this
writing, the Martins were in last

Ever do your banking at Johnny

Johnny Cake Landing, one of
the colorfuI old Delaware names
which has passed out of common

small town seven miles north of
Milford, which dates back to 1910.
The relaxed, small town atmos-

give a clue to the furry OF busi-

the village when the bank was

Eight of the yellow boxes have

Motorists may place the amount

Since the police station was

TO BE WITH THE FIGHTING
Sixty-Ninth was to him a great
pleasure. He had been mustered
into another regiment but he
succeeded in effecting a change
because he liked to be among
the Irish who came from New
York.
His only pang was his separa-
ton from his wife and children.
This is reflected in almost every
letter from the camps. But it is
done so in a %capricious, matter
of-fact, vein which give an in
sight into one who accepted
Gods will with the utmost
resignation. Perhaps it is best
pictured in the incident which

"that he displayed the most
extraordinary measure of spirit

of in any book"
Settling himself, as was his
wont, in Holidays chair, he as
once demanded some pipe to-
bacco, and, since his host had
none, very properly denounced
him in emphatic terms. Then he
said:
Bob, my affairs are some
what in d~isarray."

THUS He SUMMED UP, as a
soldier might report, the trag-
edies that would probably have
evoked, from other souls, an
outburst of emotion. His vib-
rant faith had given him such
a confidence in Gods providence
that no hardships or sorrows
seemed to touch him.
