Lest We Forget.
Lest We Forget.
Today ought to be one of the most sacred, touching and beautiful holidays of the entire year. It should be a day when every good citizen should be more thoughtful, both of the past and future, when fond memories and holy inspirations, should possess our better selves. But with most of us it is a day of sadness and of glorious sorrows. We generally decorate the graves and resting places of the heroic and beloved dead, when we place wreaths and flowers upon their earthly emblems of remembrances. This year Memorial Day is traught with sad memories and been realization of our disapointed hopes and increasing fears. Our state, our homes, our people have recently passed through a most trying period, such as we pray may never be visited upon us again.
While the Negro will be mindful of the reverence and allegiance to the flag (which means so little to him in the United States), yet he must not be lulled to sleep when hazardous conditions face him. In the nation and under the Wilson administration, has he forgotten the dismissal of the colored officials, the segregation in our competitive governmental civil services; the new attempts at segregation in Baltimore and elsewhere and the Mississippi Pullman case, the Florida case, the Civil Rights law repeal in the District of Columbia by the U. S. Supreme Judges and the sixty Negroes murdered by lynch law and many more by mobs and assassination last year; the Colorado strike this year, with its vain attempts to deprive honest and law-abiding Negroes of a right to earn an honest living and thus make his family suffer?
And as a general rebuke from our people against these conditions, we should turn out on Memorial Day and pay a tribute of love and undying confidence, respect and allegiance to the principles of Peter Salem, Crispus Attucks, Henry Ward Beecher, Harriet B. Stowe, Lovejoy, Garrison, Phillips, Frederick Douglass, Phillis Wheatly, Abraham Lincoln, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Thaddeus Stevens, and their co-temporaries who lived, fought, suffered and died, that liberty and justice should be for ALL or for NONE. Let us salute the flags of Colorado and the United States with profound reverence and with an enforced patriotism (which is steadily dying out among our people), because of the honest efforts and loyal hearts of those who have stood and are bravely standing by the laws of humanity, the State and Nation.
Let us celebrate, commemorate and ever keep green and alive the sweet and sacred memories of the courageous white and Negro soldiers and sailors who fought and are still fighting the battles of our common country and state. Let us help them to rally around the flag to make it wave over the best, the greatest, most courageous and most kindly disposed nation on the earth. While we are all stopping, considering, meditating, deeply reflecting over our unfavorable conditions in this state and sacrifices of our soldier and sailor dead and law-abiding citizens; yet let us not CRY PEACE, JOY and HAPPINESS where THERE IS NONE. Why glorify over our unhappiness and wretched condition and thus encourage the perpetuation of the same? Let our commemoration be silent, dignified, reflective and yet sanguine and appreciative of all our friends white, black and brown alive and dead.

"OLD ABE"
WISCONSIN'S FAMOUS WAR EAGLE.
Old Abe, the Eagle That Went to War THE accompanying picture shows Old Abe as he looked when stuffed and mounted in the Wisconsin state capitol before his destruction by fire on Feb. 24, 1904. The history of the eagle which accompanied the Eighth Wisconsin to war is well known. He "was a living standard, nobler than any effigy in bronze or gold ever borne above the legions of Rome or among the victorious eagles of Napoleon. It was fitting that he should pass away in Siam, even as the stormy years of his youth had been lived in the force joy that challenges death amid the fire and smoke of battle."
Arlington.
At Arlington the sun goes down;
The autumn sun sinks round and red.
As though with radiance to crown
The sacrificial blood they shed—
Those heroes who by stream and steep
Fought fearless if they lost or won
And now sleep deep their long last win
Beneath the sod of Arlington.

Hard Luck In Wartime
Hard Luck in Wartime.
The late General Shaffer used to enjoy telling how during the civil war several wounded officers and a few privates were going up the valley of Virginia when a rain came on, forcing all hands to take refuge all night in a schoolhouse. Being very tired all noon fell sound asleep.
It chanced that during the night a skunk had found its way under the floor and by and by had announced its presence after its well known of fective manner.
The officers all waked up; but, being gentlemen and each supposing that the others were still asleep, they kept silent. At last one of the privates, a German, could restrain himself no longer.
"Mein Gott!" he exclaimed. "Dis is awful! Dey sleeps, and I vakes, and I haf got to shmell it all!"
MEMORIAL DAY.
By Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll.
This day is sacred to the great heroic host who kept this flag above our heads, sacred to the living and the dead, sacred to the scarred and maimed, sacred to the wives who gave their husbands, to the mothers who gave their sons. Here in this peaceful land of ours—here, where the sun shines, where flowers grow, where children play—millions of armed men battled for the right and breasted on a thousand fields the iron storms of war. These brave, these incomparable, men founded the first republic. They fulfilled the prophecies, they brought to pass the dreams, they realized the hopes that all the great and good and wise and just have made and had since man was man. But what of those who fell? There is no language to express the debt we owe, the love we bear, to all the dead who died for us. Words are but barren sounds. We can but stand beside their graves and in the hush and silence feel what speech has never told.

Bruce Grit Reviews Book For Star. Excellent Is Opinion
Through the courtesy of Arthur Schemburg Esq., I am permitted to take the following excerpts from a recent "pud" of his which he dug up in an old book store in New York City. That the book has not been generously quoted by the Metropolitan Press may be due to the fact that its author has been altogether too outspoken with respect to the attitude of the governing race in this country toward the colored races. The title of this book is "Why Not Now" and the author is Chas. Gilbert Davis, M. D., author of the Philosophy Life. I am going to let Mr. Davis, with the editor's permission, take the platform at Page 38. He says; Today selfishness rules mankind. There is not a just government on the face of the earth. There is not a true democracy existing among men. Our social religions and business institutions are rotten. Hypocrisy shows its hideous grin in every institution that man has founded. We pretend one thing and perform another. We preach brotherhood and place the foot upon the neck of the unfortunate. We are galvanized with forms of rlghteousness, while the heart is rotten. Does this describe American white man? Put him to the test and see.
At page 40 he says; Not only do we have the lines of clan drawn as to occupatton, but race hatred is still more marked. The Jew, the Irish,, the Mongolian, the Italian, the French, the German and the Negro are all mingled in one writhing man of snarling hatred, while the corrupt cunning and egotistical Anglo-Saxon extends a patronizing paw to each, feeling quite sure he is the Sumum Bonum. A page 53—We hear much of the crimes of Negro men against white women, and for this we have burned him at the stake. But do we stop to think how many thousand times during the last two centuries the heart rendering screams of the colored girl has gone out in helpless appeal as she struggled in the grasp of her brutal overseer or master? And for this there was no redress only a fiendish laugh or a brutal oath. If all the white men who have been guilty of this crime against Negro women could be tied to the stake some night and the match applied, it would send up a lurid glare like the opening of the gate of hell. An educated gentleman from the South related to me a few months ago, that four-fifths of the young colored women, who went wrong in his state owed their downfall to white men. Is not the virtue of the black girl just as sacred in the eyes

of God as the daughter of the Anglo Saxon king? Let us be just, for God is no respector of persons. At page 57 I find this tribute to the Negro: It may well be said without flattery, that the African Race is the greatest, most faithful and peaceable on the face of the earth. Had it possessed the savagery and cunning of the Anglo Saxon or the Latin, it would have won centuries ago. If today Africans were a war-like people and possessed of a fleet like Japan it six months there would not be a Jim Crow car in a single southern state. There wouldn't be a war either. It would be settled by diplomacy. Japan has a powerful fleet and through diplomacy her people will be granted civil rights.
What if every man were compelled to claim all of his mulatto children: would not Brigham Young turn green with envy. What if the great Jehovah were to appear on earth and demand that all you who are guilty should step down from your high position, abandon your rank of official position and appear before him. What a motley cringing cowardly crowd you would be. I can see you now the overseer with his hangdog look, the bloated land owner with surprise and shame, the banker with his puffy pride all gone, the little politician searching for a lie to have an excuse; the hypocritical robed cleric chattering with fear because his sins had found him out, the Governor sneaking from the back door of the Executive mansion hoping to escape observation, the judge laying aside the ermine in which he was wont to swell with dignity when he dealt swift justice to the "Nigger;" the proud Senator stuffed with his toga, and wishing in his heart that he had not been so vehement when he stood before the galleries and denounced the "Nigger." There you are, thousands of you, each with his crime written above his head, cringing, crawling, cowering in the blazing light and majesty of eternal truth. I leave you with your God. Think on these things. Is it not true that hypocrisy should end? Is it not true that thousands of you who clamor loudest for law to oppress the colored race, have your own blood mingled with theirs.
The truth is that the Negro Race is a peaceful gentle nonwar-like people. In their faithfulness to the ties of friendship, they are superior to the Angl Saxon. But the Anglo Saxon far out strips him in some things certainly—in law cunning, hypocrisy and depth depravity.

Hiram Commandery of Knight Templars of Denver, held Ascension Day service at Shorter Chapel, Sunday evening. The popularity of the craft was evidenced by the large audience in attendance, notwithstanding the fact that the public announcement of the meeting was made only a day or so in advance. Few organizations have presented so imposing and attractive appearance as did the Sir Knights and members of the Chapter of the Eastern Star. Our pastor delivered the sermon for the occasion, and so acceptably was its reception by the members of the craft and congregation that the most flattering compliments were showered upon him. One Sir Knight going so far in his expression of approval as to pledge a donation of $5.00.

WILLIAMS MAKES FINAL
PROOF.
Mr. J. W. Williams is down from Dearfield to make his final proof on his homestead, S. W. ¼ Sec. 31, T. 4, N. 61 W. P. M. Mr. Williams is the second one to prove up. One other has given notice for proof and five others are eligible to prove up. Mr. Williams has been offered $4,000 for his homestead and says if it is worth that much to the man who has never lived on the place it is worth $10,000 to him as a home. He was one of the first settlers in Dearfield and went through hardships and made sacrifices that no other settler will have to undergo, as conditions are growing better each day for the people in Dearfield. Now that we have a town at our door, it will not be long before a homestead in Dearfield will be as comfortable and convenient and accessible as one within five miles of Denver. It is hoped that all settlers will make good and secure their homesteads by rigidly following the law and doing just what the law says in making their homesteads their permanent homes. Dearfield has some five and ten-acre tracts which can and will produce as much as $4,000 the amount offered Mr. Williams for his home with such a large lake upon it. We cannot afford for any Dearfield settler to fall or lose his "homestead," or land, by or through carelessness, ignorance or shiftlessness. We are again warning them to stay on their lands the required time because the government has its spoters out and the inspectors who check up the little local land men. "Don't be weighed in the balance and found wanting" by attempting to dodge, cheat or defraud or "get by," because the government will catch you.

MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM.
Official Suggestions For Appropriate Observance of Day.
The following program for the fitting observance of Memorial day was written especially for the official Memorial day annual of the state of Wisconsin: Pupils march from schoolhouse four abreast. At a distance of about twenty feet columns divide and march in double column to form a hollow square. At given signals pupils face in. A color bearer (from Grand Army of the Republic post) steps into the center of square.
Children together salute the flag, repeating the flag salute:
We give our heads and out hearts to God and our country.
One country, one language and one flag. And peace forevermore.
In memory of those brave men who left homes, parents, wives, children and for four long years endured all the sufferings of camp life and the horrors of the battlefield that we might enjoy a united country freed from the curse of slavery—to these brave men we today offer our prayers of thanksgiving and our tribute of flowers.
Some song is then sung.
The command is then given, and they "fall in" behind the Grand Army of the Republic and the woman's relief corps. At the cemetery a squad is detailed to decorate each grave. This squad consists of four boys and four girls. The girls carry flowers and the boys flags. The boys stand at each corner of the grave, the girls at each side. They are given the command, "Decorate." The boys place flags and the girls flowers. Then they unite in singing "Cover Them Over With Flowers."
As it is not always possible to find children of the same size who are independent in their singing a quartet passes from one grave to another to lead the singing. The decorating by the children is done after the soldiers have done theirs, or, rather, the squad of soldiers are at the grave the same time as are the children and place their flowers first.
Roy's Decoration Day.
I brought blue violets from the dell
For grandpa's grave today.
For grandma says he loved them well
Before he marched away.
The other grandpas all are old.
With thin hair almost gray.
But he has curls that shine like gold
And blue eyes full of play.
Grandma showed me his picture, hung
Upon a chain of gold.
How strange that he should be so youn!
And she should be so old!
-Ninette M. Lowater.
Defied the President
Grant Would Not Permit Johnson to Put Defeated Confederates to Death
Of all the stories told of Ulysses S. Grant one of the most remarkable is that related by Justice Wendell P. Stafford of the supreme court of the District of Columbia.
Justice Stafford said that shortly after Lincoln's assassination Johnson told Grant he intended to execute all Confederate officers and officials and that Grant turned him from this course by threatening to seize Washington with his victorious army and proclaim martial law.
"Not long after the death of Lincoln Johnson summoned Grant to the White House," said the justice. "When they were alone he said. 'I intend to fix it forever in the minds of the American people that secession is a crime.' Grant was silent. 'I intend to have all Confederate officers and officials put to a public death.' Grant did not speak. When Johnson had finished his harangue, which continued for a quarter of an hour, Grant rose in silence to take his leave. 'What do you mean to do?' said Johnson.
"Then the quiet man made answer: I am going back to the camp. I shall move my army upon Washington. I shall proclaim martial law and take command. My reason for so doing is this: I received the surrender of General Lee, which ended the war. That surrender put in my hands the life and safety of every officer and official on the Confederate side, and I hold myself in duty and honor bound to see that they are protected according to the rules of war and common right. You can communicate with me at my headquarters."
"Grant returned to his camp, issued the necessary orders and waited for the proclamation. He received word that Johnson had changed his mind. A victorious general refusing to relinquish his command and calling his devoted legions to lift him to a throne—that is an old part on the stage of history. But when before did a triumphant chlethain threaten to take power into his own hands for the sole purpose of seeing justice done to a fallen foe? God never put into a body a greater soul than Grant's." - New York Press.

[(Continued from page 1) man toward the colored man is wrong. He feels our hatred and resents it. I wonder not at the crimes of Negroes and I am only surprised that there are not more. We made him what he is. We shaped his monstrosity and must bear the blame. We have been so unjust to these people for centuries, is it not time we laid aside our self righteousness, Anglo Saxon hypocrisy and let reason rule. Would Christ sanction our treatment of them? I end with one more quotation.
It is really amusing to an observer to see the double dealing of the white man, who with shot gun in one hand threatens to take the Negro's life, while with the other he gently coaxes him to his task in the field.
This author a white man of character and ability and with a larger sense of justice than the average white man seems willing to display publicly, has in this chapter of his book, drawn a picture of his Race, which honest and fair-minded men in it will not fail to recognize. He has held the mirror up to nature. He has painted it wart and all. The white race is greatly mistaken if it imagines or believes, that the law of compensation is no longer of force and effect in God Universe. For its injustice to the Negro it must pay! pay! pay! Every drop of blood drawn by the lash, shall be paid with another drawn by a sword; as was said three thousand years ago. So still it must be said; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. The white man cannot escape.

The state of California seems bound to be some assistance finally in settling the status of the railroad porter in so-far as tipping has been made a part of his income. The Pullman Company pays the porter $27.50 per month for services and the State of California considers this altogether too small a wage upon a man can live. Just how much the Pullman Company expects the public to pay per month to each porter to make up the balance of the wage of the porter and just what the company estimates that balance to be and whether or not the Pullman Company cannot find enough money to pay the porter a living wage out of the enormous "dividends" and "melons", which are cut and dividends almost yearly to the stockholders, are

Prof. Joel E. Spingarn of the N. A. A. C. P., former professor in Columbia University N. Y. city, who was stopping at the Hotel Chisca, Memphis Tenn., sent The Gazette, last week, five-inch double-column clipping, which he wrote us, under date, May 8, 1914, was appearing as an advertisement in the News-Scimitar and the Commercial Appeal, the two leading daily newspapers of that city. It announced a mass meeting in Avery Chapel, Memphis, Monday evening, May 11, 1914, to which "all persons who love the truth and dare to hear it are coridally invited." The other speakers were: Dr. W. E. B. Dubois and Prof. Wm. Pickens, president of Talladega College, Ala. Music for the occasion was rendered by the Colleridge-Taylor Chorus Memphis. This is "carrying the war into Africa,' and is commendable in the extreme.—Gazette.

RACE PREJUDICE.
I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul.—H. G. Wells in N. Y. Independent.

Soldier. 199. Particular.
A soldier correspondent, wounded in the south, wrote home to the north during the civil war:
"The sultary and Christian commissions are the means in God's hands of accomplishing an infinite amount of good. I know the soldiers are directly benefited by the essentials and 'goodles' prepared by the devoted mothers and loving sisters of the men. The trouble is too many of them want the identical cooky his mother made."
Battlefield Surgery.
As the Maline troops were leaving the battlefield of the first Bull Run a soldier stepped up to one of the officers of the Fifth regiment and requested the loan of a knife. The officer took out a common pocketknife and banded it to the soldier, who sat down at the side of the road, pulled up the leg of his trousers and deliberately dug a musket ball out of his leg. Then he Jumped up and resumed his march.

Made them Laugh in Libby
An interesting Libby prison anecdote is told by Colonel E. B. Bradshaw of Washington.
"I recall one of the darkest, stormiest, rainiest nights at old Libby," said Colonel Bradshaw. "The Union prisoners were huddled together on one of the lower floors, and the rain was coming in on them in a perfect deluge. Among the captives in blue was Bishop McCabe, then a chaplain. In his excess of good nature he saw the humorous side of even such a situation as I have described. While our boys hungry and cold, were trying to keep warm and dry, a voice was raised above the howling of the tempest outside and could be heard in all parts of the prison. 'Hands on your pocket books!' The voice was that of Chapain McCabe, who knew full well that there was not a single dollar in all that great crowd of shivering Yankee soldiers. The sally caused an outburst of laughter, notwithstanding the situation."

A cross, peevish, listless child, with coated tongue, pale, doesn't sleep; eats sometimes very little, then again ravenously; stomach sour; breath fetid; pains in stomach, with diarrhea; grinds teeth while asleep, and starts up with terror—all suggest a Worm Killer—something that expels worms, and almost every child has them. Kickapoo Worm Killer is needed. Get a box today. Start at once. You won't have to coax, as Kickapoo Worm Killer is a candy confection. Expels the worms, the cause of your child's trouble. 25c, at your druggist.

The Body Is Right
Does your back ache?
Are you nervous?
Diseases are caused by pressure on
nerve tissues.
When this pressure is relieved ease
is re-established.
Adjusting the body is transformed into professional success. Nerve tissues are the most important tissues in the body controlling all others. If you don't believe this, come, let me prove it. Chiropractic theory is the greatest of all, securing higher percentage of results than any other.

Wednesday evening, May 20th, 1914, at 2501 Clarkson St., will be a day long to be remembered by all of the many people who witnessed the pretty arranged wedding of Miss Overstreet to Mr. Morrison. Bamboo interlaced with beautiful white flowers and floral designus and with an altar made theremon for the officiating. Clergyman, Rev. David E. Over, D. D., pastor of Zion Baptist Church, and with the house brilliantly lighted and decorated; one experienced such a feeling of welcome and an atmosphere of refinement, the like of which only attends all pleasant and agreeable social functions. Messrs. McCain and Winlock assisted in the marriage ceremony, while Miss Margaret Willis acted as the winsome bridesmaid. White and colored people attended this brilliant affair and the beautiful, valuable and numerous presents received were astonishing to the passing guest. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison left Thursday night amid the shower of rice and old shoes for Leadeville, Colo., where on Friday night one gay ovation was given them in the form of a reception. The Star wishes the happy-couple every happiness, every pleasure and all prosperity possible to any couple.

MRS. A: M. POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair.
The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them. For treatment, call on or address:

SLEEP sweet and rest, brave ones!

With sunshine golden and with

Sleep sweet and rest. The blossoms fair are leaning
Their bright cheeks on your graves the livelong day.
Above you floats the flag so well defended.
The dear old flag—the stars and stripes we love.
Hither your comrades true their way have wended
Their loyalty and loving praise to prove.

A Superb Animal.
During a fierce charge of Confederate cavalry at Murfreesboro an officer was killed and the cavalry driven back. The horse the officer had ridden was a magnificent animal, but he had not been taught to retreat. Riderless he kept on his way, and as he dashed through the Federal battery the sight of him was indescribably grand. His nostrils were extended wide, his eyes fairly blazed, and he clutched the bit determinedly with his teeth as he came on like the wind, with his saddle flaps flying until he looked as if he were himself flying instead of wildly running. Every one gave him room as he dashed onward. An officer showed that he would give $100 to any one who capture that superb animal, but the horse disappeared.
Those Foreign Muskets
The United States government imported some foreign arms during the first years of the war, speaking of some of which a certain officer reported: "In platoon firing with the Belgian muskets I can always tell how many pieces have been fired by counting the men on the ground. One of these Belgian muskets will kick like a mule and burst with the greatest facility. Several soldiers in our Illinois regiments have been killed in this way. The bayonet, too, is a novelty—a soft iron affair—apparently designed to collound the enemy, thus taking him."

FOE SAVED GRANT'S LIFE.
Confederate General's Order Preserved Him For the Union.
Here is an interesting story by General Marcus J. Wright, the Confederate soldier, of how a timely order saved General Grant from being shot just before the battle of Belmont Ky., in November, 1861:
General Cheatham took Blythe's Mississippi regiment and the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth Tennessee, under my command, to follow the Federalis and attack the troops embarking on the transports. Within half a mile from where we started we came near a double house about 100 yards from the road, which was occupied by the Federalis as a hospital. At the gate were two Federal officers mounted on fine horses, one a black, the other a gray. Two other officers, one with an overcoat on, came out of the hospital and ran toward a cornfield, jumping the fence and disappearing.
When they first appeared a number of my men cocked their guns and made ready to fire. General Cheatham at once directed me to order their guns to a shoulder and not to fire on stranglers, as his orders were to attack the troops seeking the transports. This order was given.
On the day after the battle General Cheatham met under a flag of truce Colonel Hatch, General Grant's quartermaster. Colonel Hatch in his conversation with General Cheatham told him that the two officers who ran out of the hospital were General Grant and himself, and both were surprised that they were not fired on.
The battle of Belmont was the initial fight in the great campaign in the Mississippi valley.
A Wartime Incident.
General Wadsworth, who was killed during Grant's Richmond campaign, deprived nearly an entire Maryland town of shoes on his march to the battle of South Mountain. His soldiers were barefooted and their feet bleeding from tramping through a rough country. He rode ahead to buy shoes for them, but was treated roughly by two wayfairers. He made them take off their shoes and then proceeded through the town, taking the shoes from every man he met, except a miller, who wanted to contribute whatever shoes he could find in his house, but the general declined his offer.

By Henry Ward Beecher.
They that die for a good cause are redeemed from death. Their names are gathered and garnered. Their memory is precious. Each place grows proud for them who were born there.
Children shall grow up under more sacred inspirations whose elder brothers, dying nobly for country, left a name that honored and inspired all that bore it. Orphan children shall find thousands of fathers and mothers to love and help those whom dying heroes left as a legacy to the gratitude of the public.
Oh, tell me not that they are dead, that generous host, that airy army of invisible heroes? They hover as a cloud of witnesses above this nation. Are they dead who speak louder than we can speak and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism?
Ye that mourn, let gladness mingle with your tears. He was your son, but he is now the nation's. He made your household bright; now his example inspires a thousand households. Dear to his brothers and sisters, he is now brother to every generous youth in the land. Before he was narrowed, appropriated, shut up to you; now he is augmented, set free and given to all. He has died from the family that he might live to the nation.

Thomas Scanlon, Patrick Ferry and

old time horsemen used to enjoy them
selves. The track was renewed last
Saturday with her once great fame,
with such blooded horses of this day.
as “Denver Boy” won one race which
belongs to Korbey. against Carl Goft’s
“High Boy.” “Bligh Boy” won four
races and lost three, in the two-twen
ty class. Steve Lucas (colored) of
the 26th St. Stable won two and lost
three, Switchman Whit's horse of the
two-twenty class, won one and lost
three. Officer Otbach, with his black
horse had no trouble of taking -the
best three out of five in beating “Mys:
terious Mike,” owned by Officer Ken-
nedy. “Mysterious Mike” had no
trouble in beating “Black Dick,” driv:
en by Harry Harker of the Kelly
Stables. He also won a race from
Switchman White’ horse and lost one
Ernie Tiederman put himself to the
trouble of walking out ten miles and
getting an unknown-bay that proved
to-be one of the fastest horses of
the day. Officer Burkhardt, having
seen that P. H.'s horse was beaten,
started his twenty-horse power auto:
mobile and took to the long and un-
cut timber in disgust. “Big Paul
Akirdge of the Olympic Bar and Paul
Conrad of Elyria started the horses
from their big machine. Tim Fern
‘and Billy Beals of the 25th St. Stables
were the Judges at the finish. The
popular Ed. Wernent was there and
@laimed he couldn't get a horse fast
enough to suit him, and it was gen:
erally considered that Ed had taken
to the yellow streak troubles. There
will be a matinee next Saturday after-
noon with the same horses and men,
and it is anticipated that there will
be many more new stars on the track
to take part. That will give the spec-
tators a good couple of hours sport,
‘a3 well as the participators.
