Messrs. Tuthlll. Dennlson and Keith, who
have- taken the management of tho Omaha
Driving park", havo determined to uao
every endeavor to rovlvo Interest In horse
racing and will spare no effort to awaken
tho old-tlmo enthusiasm In that sport.
Tho two meetings thus far held under their
management, whllo they havo been ac
companied by financial loss of no mean
nronortlons. havo simply convinced them
that It Is possible by fair and honest work
to reawaken an Interest that will restoro
tho sport of horso racing to Its previous
popularity. Thcso promoters of tho turf,
whllo they do not discuss tho financial re
sults of their meotlngs themselves, aro
understood to havo put about 10,000 Into
the meetings which they havo never taken
out again, but they aro confident that the
coming meptlngs will In a measure, at
least, recoup them for their losses.
Two meetings are in contemplation for
tho year. Ono 1 a raatlnco of tho (lentlo
men's Itoadstcr club next Saturday. Prob
ably thero aro a great many owners of
flno horses and vehicles who do not know
that thero Is such a club In existence, but
tho club has attnlned a considerable mem
bership and almost any fine afternoon Us
members may be seen enjoying a spin on
tho boulevard enrouto to tho driving park
to pull a little spred out of their favorites.
At tho driving park Is tho best half-mllo
track west of thn Mississippi river with
out exception. It Is kept in flno condi
tion and Its uso Is open to tho membership
of tho club. Anyone 1b permitted to uso
this splendid raco track to a reasonably
oxtent for tho exercise of fiorscs that will
not dlsgraco the turf, but, of course, mem
bership In tho club Is an essential to Its
systematic use. At the matlnro next Sat
urday tho members of tho club are ex
pected to Introduce a number of local horses
of acknowledged speed capabilities nnd no
loss than four events aro promised that
will bo worth tho price. There aro some
EOOd horses In Omaha and It Is expected
that most of them will bo ntcred In next
Saturday's races.
Kiciitn III September.
Th hie meeting, however, upon which
tho turf promoters of Omaha arc relying
will occur next September. It will bo a
ten days' running meet, with n list of
purses that will aggregate from $6,000 to
110,000, according to tho prospects. Tho
iiiim have been selected so that It will
como during tho Ak-Sar-llcn festivities,
from September U to September 21. In
fact tho Knlchts of Ak-Sar-Dcn havo been
Invited to conduct tho races, but havo not
accepted the Invitation becauso of their
many other obligations, but It is prouaDie
thnt In sending out their nnnounccmonts
of attractions for tho festival week tho
knlchts will not overlook tho races.
John Tuthlll, who Is tho active promoter
of this running meeting, expects to leayo
about tho middle of August for St. Louis
and Chicago, with a view of bringing to
the meeting during tho following month
mnny of tho flno strings of horses that
will be at tho raceB In thosu cities before
.- - L-.k.lniiii. mm rt tri Hp,
some of them being horses with sensa
ttonal records. As It will be a season of
cheap rates, becauso of tho Ak-Sar-Dcn
festivities, It Is hoped that tho meeting
will demonstrate that tho people of this
cctlon havo not lost Interest wholly in
racing affairs and that the meeting will
bo .productive of results that will en
courago further turf meetings in Omaha.

turn of mind, and he went to Europo,
whero ho has defoatcd the best of tho con
tinental professional riders without excep
tion. Owing to the new order of things, which
brings a halt dozen or more middle dls
tanco riders Into one race, tho promoters
of tho National 1'accd Ilnclng circuit have
adopted rules on tho right to tho polo and
the passing of motor cycles. Some such
rules aro nocessary when eight or nluo
motor tandems and soven bicycles occupy
the track at tho same time. Ono of tha
now rules rcnulres that all men start at
the Inner side of tho track and that tho
motors alt eo by on the outside, tho men
taklne them un In order: first, tho man

Coming to tho finish a red flag will bo
waved at the beginning of tbo last mile,
a bell will bo rung for tho last lap and a
pistol fired at tho finish. Tho men on tho

"Major" Taylor, tho blcyclo rldor, was a
passenger, with the millionaires, on tho
Deutschland. A few years ago tho "major,"
who Is a negro, was a servant In a Brook
lyn blcyclo club. Ho developed such speed
as a rider that ho was given an oppor
tunity, to which ho proved equal. This
year ho was offered $16,000 to rldo In Amer

that ho should depart for Franco In tho
fall with a goodly portion of American
dollars and honors.
Un was born In Farls twenty-ono years

Tho dlmlnutlvo French lad did excellent
work as an amateur In 1806, winning tno

How tremendous Is tho wear and tear
upon tho ordinary blcyclo chain Is but llttlo
appreciated by cyclists. C. Jl. Garrard, an
English expert of much reputation, has
analyzed tho subject carefully and tho re
sults obtained by him are calculated to
make the ordinary rider who thinks tako
off his hat to his chain and thereafter treat
it moro kindly and politely. England has
not as yet adopted tho chalnlcss wheol to
any extent, and Garrard makes no plea for
them, yet tho facts ho cites constitute me
most convincing argument for the covered
bevel gears that could bo asked for. He
says:
"If wo reflect wo must seo that chains

"Why shouldn't I?" sho said. "That Is the

be behind the times. I never was nnd I'm
not going to drop back In the procession at
my tlmo of life.
"My family all hopo that I may llvo to

Mrs. Dovoo Is small and dainty. Sho Is at

and sho takes great pride In her position.
Sho pursues her household occupation Just
as sho has all her life.
"Would you llko to seo my garden?" she
said, and led the way to a well-cultivated
plot at tho back of the bouse. Thoro were
beds of lettuce, onions, radishes and vege

"I work hero every day, rain or shine,

Major Duplay had taken a fiat In town

nnd prosperous In these days. Dllik

also murmured something about having met
a very attractive woman, a widow of 33.
Tho general result scorned to bo that ho

That temporary inferiority of Bob
Broadlcy's on which Coclly had touchod
so feelingly, was soon redressed, and after
tho wedding Harry had a talk with tno
bride. It was not unnatural that sho
should blush a llttlo when ho spoke to her
a passing tribute to tho thought of what

a lauch.
"I supposo we'd better be straightfor

dered.
"You'd do It again now, If tho enso nroso

Harry considered this remark for a mo

you needn't tell that to Cecily. Content
yourself with discussing It with Mlna or
Mr. Kcold."
"I'm tired of both of them," sho cried
"They do nothing but talk about you."
That night as ho sat In tho garden at

said to bo rather plentiful In this part of

not on it horse, but on a bull. Tho gov

leading In dancing events and it Is a sharp
