The sesquicentennial celebration, com memorating 160 years of MbthoJism in South Carolina, includes a full pro gram for Thursday and Friday of this week in Columbia at the Township auditoriutm. Among the distinct features will be the elaborate and spectacular oratorio "The Evangel of the New World", at 8 o'clock Thursday evening under di rection of Fred H. Parker, dean of music at Columbia College. This oratorio was especially written by Van Denman Thompson for the 6esquicentennial of Methodism in America, celebrated last fall in Bal timore and it has received praise from noteworthy music critics. Dr. Harold W. Thompson, music critic for "Dia spason" declares it to bo a remark able oratorio. Professor Van Den man Thompson has taken the trouble to master the more difficult parts of writing as few American composers have been patient to do. The work far surpasses expectation. "From tihe cangorous overture, with its broad and noble sweep, to the last splendid chorus, this is a work to bo matched with the best. The choral pars are extraordinarily fine, wheth er accorrtpanied or unaccompanied. The solos are suave and sometimes even 'tuneful' ? not inappropriately. I think, for the Metih*odists 'never wanted the devil to have aj the good tunes.' The whole work deserves the beautiful performance which its sin gular merits demand." Part one deals witlfr the pioneers. Part two deals with the conference at Love Lane Meeting house, Balti more in 1784, whero the Methodist church was organized first in Ameri ca. (The first Methodist church in Soutdl Carolina was organized by Bi shop Francis Aabury in Charleston in 1785). Fred H. Parker, dean of music at Columbia College, was invited by the committee to arrange for the Colum bia presentation of the work. He ia having the full and enthusiastic co operation of the Columbia College Choral club, the glee club of the Uni versity, fnembers of the rihftirch choirs in Columbia and the Shandon Choral society, a -horus of about 150 voices. Leonard C. Moltz, director of the Shandon Choral society, will direct the chorus and an orchestra of 30 pieces will accompany. Soloists are: Mrs. Richard I. Lane, sofprano; Miss Marjorie Blun dell, head of tihfle music department at Columbia College, contralto; Theo dore Vosburgh, head of voice depart ment a\; Newberry college, tenor; John Richards McCrae, soloist at Washington Street Methodist church baritone.

Just recently the Billy Barton race, staged at the famous Pamlico track near Baltimore was won by "Wild Sun", a horse o.\vned by Mrs. Thomas Somerville, and ridden by J Carroll Bassett. A few days ago in the big Radnor meet, a suburb of Philadelphia, three of the big races there were won by Camden trained horses. The Hagen Memorial Race was won by Hustler, a Somervillo horse; The Cassatt Plate was won by Rocky Shore, owned by Poplar Lane Farm (Ernest Woodard) and anotihfer cup was won by Heroic, owned by Mrs. Carroll Bassett. During this race W. Burling Cocka who spent the winter in Camden, re ceived a compound fracture of the skull, and is in a very critical con dition. Several horses went down on tho "flat" of this race, after one horse fell, causing the others to stumble and fall over it. Carroll Bassett was one of the riders in this spill but was unhurt. Another horse was killed at t he 'jumps' of this race. Out of fifty one races this Spring, thirty six horses trained in Camden, Aiken, and Pinehurst 'have come ia winners. The Cutnden horses won 23 of these races, Aiken 7, and Pine hurst, 6. The three big races of the Kasc, since the Carolina Cup race at Cam den on March 3i)th, were won by Camden trained horses: The Virginia Gold Cup was won by "Indigo". Thq Virgijnui Grand National, was won oy 'Oliver C.' and The Maryland Cup by 'Hot Slpur'. The famous old racer, 'Trouble maker, was killed during the running TSie Maryland Cup. This horse had previously won many of the big races, including The Carolina Cup, Virginia Cup, Maryland Cup, and Meadowbrook, and was eighth in 1he Grand National of England two years ago, when over sixty horses were entered. 'Drinmoro Lad' a very promising racer, owned by Paul Mellon, son of Andrew Mellon, ono of tho world's richest men, was trained in Camden and ridden by Jimmy Ryan. Mr. Ryan has ridden in all of tho leading races in America and four tilmes in the Grand National of England. This homo won the Carolina Cup, vno Deep River Hunt of Richmond, Va., 'and the mile and one 'half flat race at Middleburg, Va. Tho showing mado by this horse was so good that Mr. Mellon withdrew it from flho Mary land Cup race, and shipped it to Bng land, where it is to bo trained by a famous trainer in that country, and will he entered in the Grand Natioal next, spring. It is an ambition of many wealthy Americans to win thn famous race, w'hieh has been wont only four times by Amierie.mi siiuo thn raco was inaugurated ninety fout years ago. Two other Camden trained horse* have been sent to Kngland for this race, 'Sea Soldier' and 'Troublemaker' and both came in the finish hut not winners. Only a sminll pnirt of tho Hxty or more horses entered thin race ever finish salme, and go down i at the timber, brush, or water jumps >'oie Bostwick, one of t/h
