Azalia Hackley, writing from the Phyllis Wheatley Home, Chicago, says that she is trying to find a house in which to establish her Normal Vocal Institute. Her object is to erect and maintain a music school in some southern State. The Madam is anxious to do something permanent for the race along the lines of her endeavor. She has, in addition to her well known musical ability, splendid business ability. She is well known throughout the States. This wide and favorable acquaintance will be of advantage to her when she becomes actively engaged in her work. Those Ruskin pictures at the Murat Theatre, we are sure, many of the colored people would like to see. It is even interesting to read of the way they were taken. They are nature pictures, the animals, which are of every description, were taken in their haunts, thus exhibiting their habits as they are when the nearness of men are not suspected by them. This required quite a bit of ingenuity on the part of the picture takers, but they succeeded admirably, so they say. The Murat is the best theatre in the city, and, of course, as in it these days, our folls are not expected. Most of us do not care much about exclusive places, but now and then there comes along something out of the ordinary, when to be barred, is rather inconvenient. In recent years many good things have come to Indianapolis. A few of them should not have been shut up to a certain people. They are like many things, persons of distinction that belong to mankind. We regret very much that we are excluded from these exhibitions. When France was in the toils of her great revolution a century and more ago the Haitiens thought it was a good time to strike for liberty. They struck and won, not so much because France could not have overcome her rebellious subjects, but because liberty was in the air. The islanders had sympathizers in France who did not care much if they did break away. Now it appears that the Danish Negroes have taken advantage of the world mixup; they are demanding improvements in their condition generally. A Negro representative of the island, the Danish West Indies has appeared in Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, where he contended for greater liberty. He urged that the Negroes be permitted to vote since nearly every Negro under 36 years of age is able to read and write. He asked for sanitary improvements and changes in economic situations. The Negroes ask through their representative for the privilege of printing their own newspapers and holding public meetings. The outcome is not known, but since the demands are reasonable and right in face of the same old race question, more than likely they will be granted. Some day the question will arise as to the precocity of Negro children. Herbert Spencer, years ago, had it Given two children, one colored and one white, it would be noted that the colored child outstripped the white child in the period of infancy—learned faster at the beginning—curiosity prompted. But at the dawn of reason the white child quickly overtook the other one and went on, surpassing it in every way. Mr. Spencer, perhaps had the pure Negro child in mind. He knew nothing of the hybrids of this day, for if he did he would have had a different tune to sing. A little colored boy of New Haven, Conn., graduated from the graded schools at ten years of age, making a new record for the schools of that city. Two colored girls graduated from one of the Indianapolis high schools at fourteen, the youngest persons that have finished in the high schools of this city. There have been many instances where colored pupils have been at the head of their classes in the various schools, including universities. Of course, this is not the rule, but it goes against that other theory that Negro children couldn't take on education as the white race. And we think that when it comes to classes the Negro children would not average up so well as white children even if the environment were the same. It is difficult to get the same environment; and if it were generally possible, it might tell a different story. These bright colored children spoken of are of educated parents. If all Negro parents were equally educated Mr. Herbert Spencer, if living, might have occasion to revise his observation regardless of mixed bloods. Germany, and the United States seem to be arriving at an understanding as to the future of the former country's submarine warfare. And the probable solution is rational enough. In fact, there is not much chance for anything else but a peaceful conclusion of the trouble. Germany will not cease her mode, but will consider the safety of individuals first. This is in compliance with the demands of this country in the essential, and which is humane. Germany, we think, has never had the destruction of the lives on non-resisting vessels as an objective, whether neutral or those of the enemy. That country has found it very easy to comply with the policy States' demands over the policy. If it answered was but the natural outcome of the warfare. When that country succeeded in destroying the enemy's vessel, we take it, that it was the height of its object, its sole object, the disasters otherwise being the unexpected incidents. It could have had no desire to commit cold blooded murder, because it was possible. SUFFRAGE QUESTION IN FLOR IDA. What will Florida do with its new constitutional amendment on suffrage, which, as a resolution recently passed both Houses of the Legislature of that State? Notwithstanding the recent ruling of the United States' Supreme Court the proposed amendment has this provision: Provided, however, that no person or lineal descendant of any such person who was on January 1, 1867, or prior thereto entitled to vote under any of the states or territories, or entitled to vote under any form of government, or any person who is the right to vote shall be denied the right to register and vote because he shall not be able to read, write and interpret any section of the Constitution of the state of Florida, the Constitution of the state of Florida shall not own property of the value above specified; naturalized citizens of the state of Florida may apply and before they shall be admitted to register, shall present to the registration officer certificate of his naturalization or a duly authenticated The other provisions mentioned, and from which white men are exempted are that the individual must be able to read, write and interpret any section of the constitution of the State, and that he must own property to the value not less than $500. These provisions are prohibitory, either one of them. A very few Negroes would succeed in running that gauntlet. White men would also be caught wholesale, as the framers well knew. It seems shameful that in this day loopholes of escape have to be made for them. And yet that clearly is the object as it has been in all such cases. As ugly as it appears there is no little consolation coming to the Negroes when seeing that defenses have to be thrown about those who have had the years and opportunity to make good in education and financially. It means that the Negro is coming to own at an alarming rate. We say, "I am alarmed by the face of those who do not care to see the race advance. Unfortunately we have those kind as well as well wishers. What's the matter with Florida, anyhow? Not long since one branch of the Legislature attempted to drive Negro lawyers from the bar. Viciousness on the part of new Negroes may, in part, be the matter, but at that they have not shown disposition to care very much for politics. We rather think the Negroes of the country, as a whole, are getting away from politics. They see, as a rule, nothing in it but voting. It does but very little to advance Negro citizenship as such. This fact has soaked in the most obust, consequently the thing is rapidly becoming a dead letter. We state this as an observation, and not as a thing advisable. We do advise the electoral enfranchisement at all times, but we do not see any great reason for being rampant partisans. This feeling is nearly general. Such being the case we can not understand why Florida is breaking out and especially as the Supreme Court has set down on the kind of a constitution it is making an effort to give its citizens. THE NEGRO PLAYLET. The Negro playlet will in the near future divide time with the vaudeville as we know it, or it will succeed vaudeville all together. There is a real demand for playlets that deal with episodes and events in Negro life, and which, when the right key is struck, will be of great value to the race. We are not saying that such ventures will have immediate success. There is much in the race that tends to operate against purely Negro plays, those based on actual life. The element of shame has been a drawback. The race has not cared for the homely side; it has shown decided preference for aristocracy, and which, per hap, is natural and best. For if we were wholly indifferent to progress it would be very bad for us. But we have been inclined that way too strong, setting up a spirit of false superiority, teaching contempt for all things that do not measure up to the white man's ideal, meaning further the contempt for one another. Happily this condition is changing. The change is being brought about as much by the indifference of the white people as by our own proper initiative to value our race variety. Thus when we are blocked from playhouses, a great civil injury, we yet proclaim the fact that we are back in the race to win our own development. The old saying about it being an all wind that blows nobody good through it we have been taught to patronize our own concerns. This is not Americanism, but it is race salvation. The Americanism will come just as quickly through the spirit of THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER independence, self-reliance, efficiency and financial competence as it will by standing aloof, waiting until the white man's concerns become generous and invite us in. Within our own ranks working to an end will be the better preparatory. This gospel will not be best for all sections, but it comes near being the gospel for all sections that it may be preached to advantage. The Negroes have become tired waiting at the doors of good white playhouses "for the troubling of the waters." The sensible thing is now being done. We are doing vaudeville, but vaudeville is not the whole of stage life. Dancing and singing and clownish doings are not the whole of life when it comes to entertaining. In Jacksonville, Fla., the proper note has been sounded. Immediate success may not follow the move there for playlets depicting Negro life, but it is the thing. In that city the stage is setting forth the race in its racial difficulties. This is the problem play idea, and which if judiciously worked out and presented will be one of the successful kind of playlets for the future. Of course there is a great danger in going too far in showing the trials and tribulations of the race. Perhaps no medium is so strong as the stage in setting forth conditions. This being true, it will be seen how easily the thing may be productive of ill feeling which will hold back the things hoped for. We can not or should not forget the kindness of the white people; with out them we would not count for much. Strike out of the product of our good which has been placed there by them and we will find our sum very much diminished. The paymaster will have to keep this thing in mind, the goodness of the white people as well as their meanness. This has in mind race problem plays which will necessarily include white people. Social plays will be different, and yet skill must still be exhibited to avoid hurting the sensibility of the race which caters to the extreme of life rather than the commonplace happenings such as most know about. THOSE INDIANA INDICTMENTS. If it should turn out that the recent batch of indicted individuals were not nearly so guilty as it appears on the surface we will be in a very despicable situation. We are no more in for election corruptionists than those who brought in the bill against the 128 "alleged" offenders. Nor do we hope they are guilty simply to make good the work of the prosecuting attorney. In fact, we would prefer to know that he was mistaken than to learn that so many prominent citizens are guilty of deeds which do not appear reasonable to well thinking persons. It is preservation to the State to weed out men, regardless of their prominence, when they do things that reduces citizenship, or that rob the citizens of their enfranchisement as such, as was the case in Terre Haute. It will be none the less if the Indianapolis man found in the same case. But if it should prove otherwise, and we think it will in some instances, then the State has been done an inconceivable injustice. For fear we may be thought to be talking high-handed and alone we reproduce a letter to the New York Globe, which appeared in that publication June 28: Editor of The Globe, Sir-As As a Hawk-Bird author with an interest in by way of Kentucky, the writer has read with great interest your editorial of June 23, on the national issue of the high educational standards of that state and seemingly being unable to reconcile them with the political citizens have been indicted for corrupt political activities. You say "the fact that a political institution is something to make people think," and further, "if education is to save our political institutions why has it not I agree with you heartily in your statement that the action is "somewhat made your editor thing enough to write the editorial referred to, but his eyes have, that causes him to see the wrong side of the picture. The true side is that the age of which every Hoosier has good reason to be proud) have caused a jury of its average citizen to indict those whom he accused of the duties as jurors and the right conception of their citizenship to indict those whom he accused of the political crime; and this has been done notwithstanding the fact that one of the men indicted in the case of the city where the indictment was found as well as a member of the Democratic national In other words, "Indiana indicts". That's where the higher education comes in. They are in Indiana, all the way in the north, and a moderate wealth, good stock, high literary traditions—all the conditions as favorable to government—and do you not see that these very indictments which cause your editor so much surprise and anguish, that you can tangible advancement toward a better government? If Indiana had the large cities that are the most political corruption as well as everything else that is evil" you would find these cities, if populated by Indianaans, in the cities of the class to which you refer as the present Indiana observance of law and order and right living. Now, as there is no more question as to the high standard of the educational advantages of the great state, it is important to ensure for the enforcement of law on the part of its many good citizens than there is doubt as to the existence of such a state in nearly every election that is held in the state, why can not New York adopt the Indiana plan and make it a state publicity, but actually indict, and thus keep the place among the front ranks which the state is sure to lose unless something is done and that New York, June 24. Mr. Nunemacher, it will be observed, is defending the State against an editorial attack which appeared previously in the Globe. That editorial is not before us, but it is readily seen that it had it that something was "rotten in Denmark," as it concerns the political leaders of the State. And it does appear so when such a man as Mr. Taggart is supposed to be mixed up in small political skuldugery. It may be as it is represented, but false or true it does the State no good to get such advertisement. It is all right for Nunemacher to show up the ugly political side of New York: the status of that State is no example for Indiana. It has had its trouble for all these years, and so common it has become that it is rather the expected. It is no distinction to be lined up with the Empire State in politics, for when political corruption is referred to as an illustration the mind runs readily back to Boss Tweed and the Tammany people, the latter until very recently, having the stranglehold on the metropolis and State, and who did not forget to work everything to the glory and longevity of the cause. Perhaps the Indianians do not know that they are being subjected to such severe criticism throughout the Union. The educational status is admitted but the lookers on can not understand why we should be so bum politically. Is the State as bum as it is now thought? The trial of the Indianapolis batch will tell. A Few ITEMS OF INTEREST IN DAYTON (O.) SCHOOLS. There were twelve graduates from the high schools and four from the normal, making sixteen in all.

GLEANINGS ALONG THE FIRING LINE (By "Young" Knox.) Ben Taylor, the demon, is hitting them down right field constantly. "Steel" Arm John Taylor used his slow one Monday and got away with it.

C.'s have won six and lost six games this season with the Cuban team, and the team those islanders are doing to "Uncle Rube's American Giants." Rain kept the A. B. C.'s and Louisville, Ky., White Sox from clashing at Federal League Park last Sunday. However, 300 fans greater than two teams at Northwestern Park Monday. The Hon. John H. John C.'s have secured 28 hits in one game this week. We sincerely trust that they will get all out of their system before they clash with the A. B. C.'s this month. One of Manager Taylor's scouts for the A. B. C.'s looked out for Bowery and made good reports on Flood, Dick. erson, Cardwell and Reed. Flood would give Powell a bit of rest. Wickway, with his terrific speed and the foxy Rube with his tantalizing change of pace, looked alike to those Islanders. George Shively, the speed merchant of the A. B. C.'s, spent the week-end at his home in Bloomington, Ind, chasing squirrels instead of chasing flyballs. The writer was promised a squirrel. Wonder If George will make BASE BALL NOTES.

For ten innings it was a pitcher's battle between the only southpaw Donnie Dunn. The game was not only pitched the game of his life, but fielded his position in fine style—scored two hits and two runs. Ware and Dock at the keystone corner was of the sensational order. The visitors took the lead, Henry holding the ball and Dunn driving when Dock came all the way from first on Dunn's single. The Mathews crowd scored another in the eighth on Dunn, and the second in the tenth inning, with two out, Dock and Dunn hit and Johnnie Carr drove the ball down the stretch in a well-played game.

Base Ball Notes The Cubans' pitching staff this year seems to be better than ever. They have three straight to their credit. As a stick man, Torrenti, of the Cubans, is a world beater. A triple and a double is like taking candy to him. Chacon, the shortstop for the Cubans, is a wonder. He and Lloyd, of the United States, are two of the best men in the States. The ladies are certainly taking advantage of free week days, and of course the men make it their duty to be where they go. Allison, the new catcher for the American Giants, is doing some splendid work. He is certainly known where to find good timber. Another big game is to be staged for Sunday. Secure your tickets in advance. Mrs. "Rube" Foster is always present to give a quiet cheer for the home team. The Cubans are in the game every minute and never stop playing until the third out in the ninth innings. He is also fitted as a Kentucky thoroughbred. Mr. Molina says that he is going to take the first seven games and then return in August and duplicate the first seven games he will be with him when he does. When McNair dropped a fly on Tuesday, it meant the losing of the thief, and the loss of this week, the Cubans were three games to the good. In Box 11 sat Mr. George Holt and a party consisting of George Shaughter, Wilkaukee, Wis. Hien Daniels, Joan Cain, and Cattie. They came in Mr. Holt's car. Hon. Louis B. Anderson, Major R. R. Jackson, and Hon. B. F. Moseley were among the prominent men who sat in Box 40. Mrs. B. F. Moseley was accompanied by her husband. "Uruce Ruble" held his own on July 4 and hit him in the eighth inning on July 4 and Jenkins misjudged the ball caused the loss of the game. Did you ever see so many people playing the ball and hit man in the eighth inning on July 4 and Jenkins misjudged the ball caused the loss of the game. Did you ever see so many people playing the ball and hit man in the eighth inning on July 4 and Jenkins misjudged the ball caused the loss of the game. One of the interesting spectators was Leon L.

The plot of the play was the successful inauguration of the Negro Daily Sentinel." The audience seemed to be electrified. Some shouted while others shock with tears of despair. The production of the Negro who aspires and the pathetic plight of a conscious Negro editor struggling against the combined efforts of the unscrupulous members of the Negro community members of his race under their influence.

THE GRAND THEATRE RETURNS TO VAUDEVILLE TO A CROWD- ED HOUSE FOLLOWED BY A LINE-UP. Every turn qualified in merit and mirth, and the two comedians, one a big blonde, were side splitters, this and that, and the other a woman, completed the amusement. The Frisco Four, the only colored team who were all white, numbered and was heavily encouraged fortunately the soprano does not equal the one who died. "We were all, whose entrance clothes were blue, whose minute, gave a good comedy travesty of a weak, nervous man in a tragedy recitation. He kept within the bounds of decency and wisdom, with his wit, Courtney and Jeanneette were funny entertaining jugglers. Dave Peyton's orchestra was in fine form and this was the absence of two of his former well known musicians. Manager Johnston, who seems to keep in evidence and in popular favor, looked on from the rear of the house staff was well in working order. Howard & Day at the New Monogram. The circumstances which alter cases is that Howard & Day return to the Thirty-fifth street, where people appreciate a legitimate act the best but Howard and Evelyn are applauded and encourage the performers wish they would as a proper duty. The cornet solo by Irene Howard showed a gentle act, acting as a gifted tenor, songs better than today in Rosary's was again his last event. If Miss Howard did play too loud, Chicken Reel Beaman beamed upon us again monologuet and a very good one whose performance marched like a cavalcade into the riqueau. When he has overcome this humor, he will become a first headliner. Dolly & Evelyn was a crude and needs training. A Robert Hall is now doorman at this house. Green & Pugh at the Old Monogram. Since Willie Pugh has taken on manhood, the team of Pugh & Green returned better than ever and modern dressing has allowed Pugh to attract anywhere. Pugh's dancing was an especial feature. The base ball parody took well and their comedy with no zoochium horns capped the oil industry. Their singing gave plaintive messages that pleased.

I was much disappointed not to have the opportunity to have an entirely onlook on the part of the management, as the public, the artists and their friends would like to have an opportunity to see the performance for more good reasons than one and especially for the sake of art. its cultivation and maintenance. The artists were Madam Tahor of Los Angeles and Ms. Hahn of Toronto, and William Hahn, bass. There was a chorus of seventy-five voices under the direction of George E. Duncan, Duncan Blair were organist and pianist accompanists respectively. It is hoped that the performance will be repeated thoroughly advertised, so that people will know it and turn out to apreciate worthy labor for a worthy cause.

Owsley, Mgr. The Crown Garden presents this week a bill of good attractions. Lottie Grady at the Crown Garden, Indy dungyolly. Pretty Miss Grady is a very fitting appellation for Lottie Grady, who is appearing at the Cory Grady Gallery. She is kind to be as beauty does. Well, looking at it from that point she is all right, for her work is that she has the necessary Grady and her mother, who is with her, is of Chicago, where the young lady has long since made a fine stage impression. She has the necessary form, carriage and the rest of it. She dresses becomingly, making in all, one of the handsomest of stage characters, succeeding one being better. The last one "Sycapod Waltz," is a delight; she puts her soul in it, and the audience has something extraordinary. At the conclusion of this she does a fine bit of impressionation. She announces, "I am the George Walker, George Walker and Bert Williams, three of the greatest stage characters the race has produced—three great actors," she says. Finally the Bert Williams imitation, and the house applauded. The work was a decided departure, and from the way it was received the young lady should feel high- She sings "Chas, Chapman's Feet," when she does a bit of comic impersonation. Her other number was a pretty sentimental song: "I Think You'd Care." All of these num- BILLY KERSANDS DEAD Well Known Minstrel Takes Last Cur tain in Artesia, N.

He was giving two performances in Arizona. Show when his demise came almost immediately after the second show. Billy Kersands had been on the American stage for nearly fifty years. M THE LATE BILLY KERSANDS AS HE APPEARED TO THOUSANDS OF THEATRE GOERS. He was born at Baton Rouge, La., but when very young he went to New York and engaged in the boxing business in the 1920s, show business was his. If the year of 1870, when he started with Calender's Georgia Minstrels as inside enamel painter his way up and was soon one of the stars of the company. He traveled with this company or many years, and when he was married, many years later he traveled with them to Europe. This was the company managed by the brothers, played to therowned heads of the old country, and Billy was presented with a diamond stud by Queen Elizabeth II for $250 a week, and it was the beginning of his ultimate success. He then organized a company of his own to show business. This run along for several years, when the company was disbanded. Kersands then joined the Richards & Pringle Minstrels, under the management of Rusco & Holland. He joined with Richards & Pringle Billy in the company, and again toured the Orient. On their return to the Occident, Mr. Kersands joined with the Nigro & Stormleigh, where they had their own show. Mrs. Kersands extends her sincerest appreciation to all who tried to console her, and thanks them for their kindness.

Miss Cole has a wonderful voice and a monologue and dance that were pleasing. They close their act with a dance that was both wit and humor. Kelly & Davis lose the bill with their funny act. Mr. Kelly is one of the best straight men in the country, neat and was highly appreciated. Mr. Davis, as a comedian, is hard to beat.

HARRISQORRELL AND HIS TALKING KIDS Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 6 Performers are complaining bitterly about the low wages offered them by the management, and the managers they are compelled to accept in order to secure work. This has been an extremely hard house who has been able to keep open and pay the performers employed any decent kind of salaries deserve great care. Most managers of colored playhouses make an effort to keep open all summer, to bring the summer months, and they are compelled to run at a loss. It is natural that they should seek to reduce their losses to the lowest possible minimum. The performers for the most part would be willing to cut salaries for the summer, but they that they cut salaries the managers insist that they work always at the reduced figure. The performers state there is a lack of good faith between manager and performer. Sometimes a performer, in sympathy for the manager and his valiant fight to keep open, specifying that the figure named shall remain a secret be held by the salary agreed upon has been passed from one manager to another, and the performer is forced to work the entire circuit at a cut or lose service. There are other managers who will book an act at the salary call, as well as a hard luck stock and force the act to accept a cut or cancellation. This, however, is seldom done, unless the contrary are requested, or disgruntled performer's brain. There are various sides to this question, but not worth the money they ask and managers know it. A manager has a more adequate idea of what will please his partner, and a good drawing card at the Lafayette in New York, and well worth the price and the Howard at Washington. A western act may be a scream at the Grand in Chicago, and only made by businessmen should be at Philadelphia. Managers should only be expected to pay what an act is worth to their houses, but all business transactions should be strict. Performers are sometimes heard be rating certain managers because they refuse to play their act. They are also sometimes business what act he plays in his own house. On the other hand, managers should not ensure performers for refusing to accept their act if below the performer's selling price. Performers, as a whole, are improvident, saving nothing for a rainy day. The beginning of each week is when the managers are indent upon the mercies of the managers, who should not be blamed if they take advantage of the performer's lack of foresight. If a performer fails to take an act, he is always another "down-and-outer" ready to take his place at a cut figure. Managers run their houses to FUTURE DAYS.

NOTES FROM MARSHALL'S HAP PY DOYS IN LIXIE LAND CO. make money, and the performers who can best assist them in so doing are James Vaughan. He demands the money. So long as the managers play the game fairly and squarely we should have no quarrel with them. James Vaughan will be the musical director for the new Smart Set show, "George Washington Bullon Abroad." He will be playing the Williams and Walker shows from 1902 until 1909. He has also officiated in like capacity for the J. Lubbie Hill Show, and he will be the best colored director in the business. At present he is busy writing and arranging the music for the new . . .

Richmond, Va., has become a veritable mecca for colored performers. They are journeying. Mistletoe works, their music, the way they work to acquire gold during the process of the Negro National Emancipation Exhibition to be held in that city. S. H. Dudley and L. L. Gibson will conduct a mammoth vaudeville show on the Exposition ground where they have seized the opportunity of the colored performers in the business. The intense heat and consequent falling off in attendance has not caused Mr. Gibson to make any difference in the first-class quality of the show. The week his bill is composed of headline acts, and those who visit the Standard are always certain to see some of the best acts the vaudeville field affords. King, Marshall & Marshall present one of the best acts in vaudeville. Eiffle King leads them all as a male impersonator. The Marshall sisters, Nina and Ethel, are excellent singers and graceful dancers. There are no funnier two in vaudeville than Allie Gillam and Will Cooke. They are the best dancers and their dancing is imitable. Gillam can not be exciled in his trump impersonation. Taylor, a white act, was very pleasing. Bally & Tears introduced a very clever act. Both are good singers. Taylor and Diawara were amusing. They are also musicians. Bally playing the trombone and Miss Tears the cornet. They were heard in the concert. They had the highest appreciation by all who attended. Smith & Smith presented a singing and dancing and talking act that elicited Hillman's Happy Tennessee closed the bill with a plantation act that was exceptionally funny. Mr. Hillman and his Gardener were the stars of the act. there were no one hurt in the storm we encountered in Larned on the 28th sends best regards to Mr. Billy Zeek, Lula and Essie Whitney say, write me in care of the Freeman.

Homer H. will never forget the time that Gibson and his backers made quite a hit singing one of the Southern favorite songs, entitled, Back and Let the Chicken Come Ozen In." Mr. Marshall says the company is all O. K. and the company sends best regards to all friends in and out of the mission, and says watch The Freeman. KELLY & DAVIS CEELEBRATE THEIR 14TH ANNIVERSARY. A large and expensive banquet was tendered Kelly & Davis by Miss Daisy Martins, a local Philadelphia town, Philadelphia, Pa. A large evening was spent, and on the arrival of the two comedians after their percussion guests gave them three rousing cheers, followed by a lively handshaking all around.

It is doubtful if one of them who occurred in the stands ever knew he was leading until Starter Wagner gave Resta the flag, because the cars were evidenced by the fact that he flagged Grant in fourth place and Cooper in fifth. The driver of seventh position, he should have really been flagged in ninth place, but the driver of seventh place, by any means, received his information from the scorers, as did the press, and all he could do was not set accordingly, so he worked until a clock Sunday morning.

Through an interpreter Jean Porpoise, the Italian pilot of the English plane, shared his experience in driving into second race. It was the hardest race I have ever taken part in, and although I did not win, I am more than satisfied with being able to drive a world record, world's record was established, he said. "From start to finish I felt I had a chance, and at the same time knew enough that every car was capable of meeting me to the wire if I had any trouble." The privilege of driving in Chicago next Praise for Track "Wonderful" was the way Referee Vivienne expressed his opinion of the derby car to finish one consignment in a world record can get an idea of what a wonderland back Chicago has. I want to thank Chicago people for the support they gave the teams in handling this wonderful battle. All my experience I have seen never was the long, said Starter Warner. The team had a great deal to do with the number of records. I feel sure that the next will result in an average of 100 miles a day. Battle from the Start. At the very outset, the race developed into a speed battle, between the skis team and Resta, the lead alternating with Wilcox, Resta and Cooper. In the thirteenth lap Wilcox wrested first in Face from Resta, when the latter was on to the pits with a burned up right rear. In the fourth laps when the flying Resta and went out in front of the parade after some of the fastest driving ever seen on the course, the eightth mile Porporato in its Engle Sumbam, beamed to show real class and a short time he held the lead after it was forced to the pits with tire trouble.

Resta again went into first place, porporato second and Cooper third from that point to the finish. Resta was scoring according to reports furnished at intervals by a determined scoring department.

Resta into a speed duel and Resta accepted the challenge. That spelled the end of the battle. The cent battle he was forced to retire from the race with a broken transmission. Duel of Engines. Then Cooper and Anderson were sent against the Italian, only to be beaten by the French, who had engines and tires for miles between Cooper and Resta resulted in Cooper being hit by a punctured radiator. Then and then he did it with his flyers off, but it was too late. The great battle the Stutz outfit put on against the Americans America will live in the minds of those who witnessed that impressive race forever.
