The redbresst's sweet little song- has re mtrtded us all that spring- Is really here. Old winter did his worst and has now fled from the scene.

If hustle on th part of some of th lovers of horses In Omaha can accomplish it Omaha will be given aome horse racea this summer of the best type. When tha stale speed association met In Omaha In January th local owners wore given to understand that Omaha could hav a data on that cir cuit . for any time wished, and now F. A, Nash and others are hustling to form an association that can put on soma races that will call forth th best horses of the country. It la now proposed to form an association to acquire by lease what Is commonly known as Sprague street park and to make necessary improvements with a view of giving an annual race meet in Omaha. Other Nebraska towns, notably Blair, Tekamah, Friend, Tork, Fremont and amaller towns, give these meetings, and not only make them successful from th stand' point of bringing many to the town from tha outside, encouraging trade and business intercourse, but also make them a success financially. It la thought an organization on similar lines with the horse show asso ciation can carry out such a project, result Ing In bringing to Omaha at least once a year people from all sections of the state. To do thla successfully would require th association of responsible business men whos names would add material weight to th undertaking. $ Arrangements can be mad to acquire by leas for five years the possession of th Bpragu street track at an annual rental l-vj'to sxpend in the improvement of the proo- crijr i ruin f,wv ivf nwvi i no v.u stand would be torn away and a new on and new stables built. Tha track could be rented to the Omaha Driving club which would materially reduce. th expense of th association. The promoters think that, judging from th results at other smaller town In th state, at least 15,000 could be & cleaned up on me iirsi season, wmcn wumu 1 . put th association on a splendid workln . basis. Bom of tha Omaha men hav been "w working on thla proposition for soma tim ; and it is no visionary project, but la being ? pushed by some of the most progressive men In th city, men who recognise th l drawing power of a good horse race In at ' tractlng people to the city. What Omah needs Is mors attractions which will be aa Inducement for the people of the state to com to Omaha. i "Considering all th advantages at hand, aald an enthusiast, "tha local horsemen hav a great opportunity to arrange for meeting that would draw some of th best horses this way. By th best I do not mean th very fastest, perhaps, but a class of horses that will race honestly and give th satisfaction that cornea from real contesta. W hav here a half mile track that Is sbmlttedly on of th best In th who western country, with accommodations for a hundred horses, and good aeeommoria tlona at that. The railroads all center here, thus assuring quick transit for th atock coming from other meetings, and there is no reason on earth why w should not hav race meetings her every summer that would put us In line with other cities of Omaha's class. All it needs is th actlva participation of our horse owners and hors lover. And, too, it must not be overlooked that Nebraska men own some INDIGESTION distress after meals, fermentation,' heartburn, sour stomach, water brash, will be promptly relieved if you Take Tarrant's Seltzer Aperient (Tntfcva-uk aiiM) It rldj tha stomach of undigested food, cleanses the bowels and re lieves the clogged system of poison out waste mailer.

In this connection It Is pointed out that In Iowa aeveral fair and racing associations ave been organized and have' proved so successful that only the other day a new one was launched at Cherokee, which will take In Sloua City among other towns. Hoise raisers as well as horse owners In Iowa have found that their interests ar advanced all along tha Una by these associa tions, and an Impetus Is given to tha rais ing of good stock that la of great benefit to the stats at large. Local rivalry over the merits of their borsea has keyed th Iowa tock raisers and farmers up to a high pitch of enthusiasm, according to the papers, and tha state la getting a great deal of free advertising among the promi nent magHilnes devoted to the horse and outdoor sports generally. $ All of tha other cities which ar members of the Nebraska Speed association ar anx ious to hav Omaha organise an association which would ba strong enough to pull oft uccessful meets. With two strong cities as Omaha and Lincoln offering larg purses the clans of horses which would be at tracted to the stat circuit would be raised and all th stat would benefit. Uncoln is to hav a splendid meet In connection with the state fair and with Omaha following suit with a good meet th best would come. All automoblledom Is agog over the com ing automobile show which will be held at th Auditorium April 4, B, and 7, and the dealers have been bestirring themselves nd hustling the factories until nearly all th show machines ar on hand. All the space In the big Auditorium has been taken by tha manufacturers and th exhibition promises to be much more Interesting than waa at first anticipated. The manufac turers gav the doalera to understand at first that little help could be expected from them, but this has been changed and all were finally anxloua to get In tha swim. Many of the smaller manufacturers wanted space and some were accommodated, but the space was limited and only given to those machines having agencies In Omaha Hordes of dealers from the towns of the stat are expected to be on hand aa well many prospective purchasers. With characteristic promptness th Union Paclflo Shop Base Ball association is al ready In the field. The boys gave their second annual ball last week and swelled th treasury to an extent to make them self-supporting for the coming season. Practice has already begun on the shop diamond. The lineup of th team will In clude Eddie Clair, Jo Scully, Fred Brad ford. Tommy Horan, Chick Morton, tha Caseys and other well known amateurs of last year's team. In addition there Is a lot of new material to be tried out anS the Indications are that the shop team thla year will be much stronger than last sea son, when they ranked high among the amateur nines of the city and gave a good account of themselves against some of the strong teams out In the state. J. A. Buck Is manager of th team this season. Several needed Improvements hava been made at th Omaha Field club and aome which were not needed, but wer made rather to suit the tastes of some of th members. The east porch near th kitchen has been enlarged and enclosed so It may be used as a sort Qf a summer kitchen to help out on room for th kitchen. The bar has been don away with and a buffet built In th corner of the room to take Its place. Tha bar boys will be anolosed, but members will not be permitted to drink from the bar, but will hav to sit at a tabla and ba served by a waiter.'" Bom of the members did not like the bar feature, did not like the Idea of lining up before th bar, so this feature has been done away with. . The bowling league will have finished Its season thla week and then the prin cipal Interest In bowling will center around the two-man contesta for th olty oham- plonshlps. The first half of th two-man tournament was bowled last year and now the finish will be taken up. Besselln and O'Brien won the first half and will make a try for th second half, although the councilman is a little out of practice. In tha same contest a prise is offered for tha highest Individual record for th two years. Frush .now leads with Dad. Hunt ington aecond. Tha boys are atlll fan ning over th games at Louisville and all sorts of excuses ar offered, the prin cipal one being the style of alleys, as they wer highly polished and th boys tried all kinds of new schemes to make the balls roll right, with the result they did not roll their gamea at all, although mak-' Ing a better record than tha Gunthera of Chicago, Charley Comjskey, "Old Cbmmanche," owner of the Chicago Whit Sox, who is personally In charge of th division of his foroes which will play in Omaha on April T and I, tells thla story of how" Frank Isbell cam to be transferred from first base to tha field. "Isbell waa raised up In th Jack pine oountry of Minnesota, along side J. Adam Bede," aald "Commy." "All they raise up t lis re Is children and pota toes. Isbell was manager of a starch fac tory ou winter and in the keen rivalry to contract th next season's supply of potatoes he engaged to pay a good price for all tubers delivered at th factory at a certain tim. Later on, when a big crop developed, tha price of potatoes fell away down. When thla happened Isbell was on th road with us, and his stock holders had started a suit which would bring him back to Minnesota If he was served with papers. It finally got to th requisition stage, and tha governor of Pennsylvania waa th recipient of a hurry up note from tha governor of Minnesota. About that tim we were to play an ex hibition gam on an eff day at East Liverpool, O. I waa put wis to th pre snc of th man with th requisition,' and also to a way to beat it until we could get away. East Liverpool baa th only base ball diamond where it la possible to play In three states nt once. It Is located on what they call 'state Una corner.' First base, Isbell's position, waa in Pennsylvania, but left field is in West Virginia and right held In Ohio. So we smuggled 'laxy' onto the nt!it and placed him in right field, letting tanner man bat for him. He kicked ot vo sun field, so w shifted him to let',. viA had the ground keeper draw ms v. Mtewactb brush along the slat line so that Viank wouldn't overrun Into Pennsylvania. And If you think w dldn glv that process server a merry after noon you can nave another guess. The crowd soon got next to what waa going on, and they laughed the man off the grounds. I believe they would hav car ried him off If he hadn't gone of his ow accord. H told me afterward he enjoyed It, too. Th best of It all waa Isbell mad good In th field, so good. In fact that w hav played him there with sue cess ever since; and stranger still, since that experience of not batting during gam he haa been -bluing the ball at great clip." Frank Qotch has Mgned a contract to wrestle any man th Missouri Athletic club may select on a date not later tha April S. Tom Jenkins, whom th club Is trying to land for hla opponent, had agreed to accept provided he is guaranteed W Sou and expenses and a side bet. Tha club Is willing to accept th first part of th prop osition, but whether the bat la to b mad depends upon Gutch, Jeuxln has been wrestling Instructor at West Point for the last six months and only recently decided to return to the mnt. It Is considered a certainty that Miss May utton of California, who surcedrd In capturing the women's tennis champion ship In England last year, will be seen on several eastern courts before sh departs for the other side in July to defend her title. Miss Button will go esst In the latter part of May and will probably play In soma of the tournaments taking place af Phila delphia about that time. Miss Sutton may be accompanied by two, or possibly three. of her sisters, all of whom are said tq. b expert handlers of the racket. They will also take part In several contests while In tha east. The announcement that th Intercollegiate regetta will be held this year on Saturday, June 23, is welcome new to many rowing enthusiasts who cannot afford to take a full day from business to witness the races. The program for the regatta as at present ar ranged provldea for the following events: First race. 4 D. m.: University four-oared shells, by Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Wisconsin lf It enters); dls- mniv iwu nines, itr um rv ru i it-.j y Liianiin" trophy presented In l- by David Kennedy, Pennsylvania, to be held by the winner for one year, now held by Syracuse. Second race, 4:46 p. m. : Freshman elirht oared shells, Columbia, Cornell, Pennsyl vania and Syracuse to compete; distance two miles, for the Stewards' cup. presented In 1900 by Francis 8. lianas, Columbia, to be held by the winner for one year, now held by Cornell. Third race, a p. m.t university eignt-oanea shells. Columbia, Cornell, Oeornetown, Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Wisconsin to compete; distance four miles, for the varsity challona-e cup, presented in iv ny Dr. Louis L. Seaman. Cornell, to be held by the winner for ono year, now held by Cor nell. 5 ' There Is a possibility that Wisconsin may not compete In the four-oared race this year, preferring to enter a freshman eight, and Georgetown is also expected to send a freshman crew this year. The Moa of hold ing a fourth race of the centipede type or of single sculls, has been abandoned owing to the lack of enthusiasm over such a pro posal, except on the part of Syracuse. The four-oared race among crews made up of substitutes, however, proved so popular last year that It will undoubtedly find place on the program again this season. The regatta will not differ materially from those held In former years, but college crew races ar always attractive, and this spring there will be the same merry crowds of excursionists lining tha banks of the Hudson as have made the Catskllla echo with their cheering In past years. Wild Bill Donovan says: "A fooler, for fair. Is the outcurve used by all th pitchers with good, bad and Indifferent effects. In my experience I find that the outcurve Is the hardest curve to control, and success with it depends entirely on th delivery. A good twist of the wrist is needed for this one. There are a num ber of ways to deliver this curve to fool the batsman. For some batsmen the ba)l Is shot directly to them, making It break Just across the plate. For others it Is aimed directly at the plate and goes wide when It passes' the batsman. The best of hitters get fooled." The New Tork state division of the Cen tury Road Club of America has made up a schedule of events for the season or 1906 which gives promise of good sport. Informal century run will be held on every Sunday In the month of April. In conjunction with the one on April 16 there will be a handicap race here from Valley Stream for prizes. The rest of the pro gram is as follows: Bpring cetnury, Sun day, May 18; fifty-mile road, race, Sunday, June 17; midsummer century, Sunday, July 8; ten-mile road race, Sunday, July 15; fifty-mile pleasure Jaunt, Sunday,. July 22; double century, Saturday night and Sun day, August 4-S, combination moonlight and double century run; fifteen-mile road race, Sunday, August 28; Labor day, Mon day, September S, Coney Island cycle path race, twenty-five-mil handicap; 100-mlle rocord run, Sunday, September 16; "Car nival of Sports," Sunday, September 20 fall century, Sunday, October 7; fifty- mile pleasure Jaunt, Sunday, October 2; fifty-mile road race, Thanksgiving day, No vember 29. During the course of the sea son th dates will be announced for at tempts to break unpaced records at th following distances: One mile, five miles, ten miles and twenty-flv miles, also tha 100-mlla unpaced record. With only 131 pounds to shoulder In the Metropolitan handicap, tha $10,000 feature of the first meeting at Belmont park this spring, James K. Keene's Sysonby la in much more reasonably than racegoers had expected, and it is not considered a prob ability that Trainer James Howe will point th big Melton 4-year-old for this event. Bysonby mad his first appearance In 1906 In the Metropolitan, running a dead heat with Race King, and he went through th aeason unbeaten afterward. He la an early horse, according to those who have watched him, and could easily bo prepared for a race to be run on May 10.

Knire, t ; -- Th Minnesota basket ball team by de featlng Wisconsin won th title ' to th championship of th western colleges. Th Gophers ended the season with only one defeat, and that was in ths first game with Wisconsin. Wisconsin was a close second, having lost only two games, the one with Minnesota by tha close score of 16 to 10. Tha management of the United States Military academy foot ball team has pre pared a tentative schedule for the coming season and unless soma of the opposing college elevens fall to materialize the ma jority of dates will stand. The list In cludes contests with Tale, Harvard, Prince ton and Annapolis, and will prov as exact ing as any schedule that th cadet team has faced In recent years. Dstes for ths con teats with Princeton and Harvard have been alloted subject to Changs by these elevens In case they are not satisfac tory. Spring practice will continue until the candidates havs thoroughly mastered the game, aa it will be placed under the new rules. Lieutenant Charles Daly, . a member of th rules committee and former Harvard and West Point quarterback, will assist In th coaching. Th schedule as arranged at present calls for ten games, nine of which hav b n assigned as fol lows: September it Tufts at JVest Point. Octubrr Trinity at Vest Point. October 13 Colgate at West Point.

Th American team which Is to contest In the Olympic games at Athena from April 23 to May I will not b the equal of tha one which went to Parts In IPX). This Is, not because athletics are at a low ebb In this country now, but because of the length of time. which the trip will Involve few college men will be allowed to go, and the team will not anywher represent the athletic strength of the country. There Is but a single event In which the 190. team Is bet ter than the 1900 team and In only a few are the records equal. In all of the others the 1900 athletes were far superior to tho members of the 1906 team. The team which went to Paris consisted of such sprinters as Duffey of Georgetown, Jarvls of Princeton and Tewkesbury of Pennsylvania; hurdlers like Kranezleln. Pennsylvania's world champion, 'and McLean, the Michigan flyer; an Invincible high Jumper In Baxter of Pennsylvania; a quartet of distance run ners In Orton and Grant of Pennsylvania, and Gregun of Princeton and Bray of Wil liams, all of which could more than hold their own with Sujllvan and Llghtbody of the present team. Then in the polo vault there was Dvorak of Michigan, with a rec ord of 1 feet, and Bascom Johnson of Tale. The quarter mile contained Maxey Long of Columbia, the present world cham pion, and Maloney of Chicago, the western champion. Just to show how the records of the best men who composed the 1900 team compare with the best of the pres ent team th following table Is given.

His vein of humor waa natural and so deep It was ever bubbling to tne surface. His humor led him at times Into saying and doing what might have been considered out of place. But those who knew Frank E. Moores excused him for any excess of action or expression. "His heart was in th right place. H had hla faulta and he would have been lonely without them; and without them he would not have been the loyal, genial Frank, who to have known him waa to hav loved him. "Aa Illustrating that the ruling passion Is strong even In death, his humor was con stantly cropping out even after he knew he had but a short time to live. A day or two before his death, when It waa sug gested that his conditions wer unfavorable and that he might not hold out very long, he Jokingly responded: 'Well, I cannot die before May 1 anyhow; my term of office does not expire before that time.'
