Bt among those 70,000 and

there were few eyes for the
idsome and proud-appearing

There were others who chalBlenged.
One stable, bearing the
hopes of those whose pride is in
Kentucky, the home of the thorf
oughbred, sent three horses to
I battle with Morvich for supremf
acy. One was told off to the
duty of driving the favorite to
speed so that the others might
triumph when the wonder'jborHe
had been burned out by thekilling
pace. But the challenger
must pay for life the priee of his
sacrifice. He broke down and
from a most valuable animal will
be utterly useless. And Morvich,
undisturbed, ran his race.
In the purlance of the race
track, he made every post a winning
one, and won easily. His
time on a fast track was 2:04 3-5,
a record beaten but thrice in the
Kentucky Derby.
But this is not a story of Morvich,
the cast-offj who became
the greatest horse of the year on
the American turf beginning his
three-year-old career with?hm

^BgaTnerit is of Morvieh, a horse
too great for human guile to ds*
tjroy.
J There have been great horses
"before, horses which have run in
faster time, finished with courage
as great, ilnd endurance as
unalloyed. But Morvich's glory
lies in the fact that he has been
able briefly to restore to the
American turf a sportmanship
lost, and to lift horse-racing for
a brief 2.04 3-5 minutes of actual
. running from the lowest mire to
which gamblers, exploiters and
doers of scandalous things have
sunk it for these many years.
Hence racing has become anathema
to the solid citizenry of this
country. It has become assort of
disgrace to attend a "race meeting
or to show knowledge of
horses. The by-products of the
'sport are unlawful and it is with
the whisper of the bootlegger
that one speaks of what was once
the sport of kings.
The coming of money to the
game of horsemanship was its
ruin. Races are theoretically run
for purses sufficient to pay the
expenses of operating the stables.

100 oicen mey are ior tne " wise
. gamblers" who have corrupted
j owners and jockeys that they
' make money on a sure thing.
It is the horse's skill, speed and
. endurance, plus a little human
training, that is the thing. But
the nature of things makes it the
man who ta^es the profit.
Morvich in the lpst few months
has become a name to conjure
by. In places where horses were
never spoken of, he became the
subject of intense interest. He
was a wonder horse. He had been
too grtat for the vast returns
which a "fixed race" would hove
permitted the gamblers to reap.
American Taeing history is one
long record of tragedy, marked
here and there by the emergence
of some horse of such surpassing
#cateeHence that he has risen su/vjperiofr

is credited with inaugurating racing
in this country in 1665. The
nature of things prevented much
development until the last century,
when it received a tremendous
impetus in the South. After
the Civil war the pastime gained
in supporters, but also in the fae-~^
tors which subsequently brought
it into vast disrepute. It is useless
to set forth the steps whereby
the sport of kings passed into
the hands of the exploiter, the
alien, and. the indiscriminate
gentry who dwell in the no-man's
land between "smartness" and I
actual crookedness. It is suffi- :
cient to remember that this trans- |
ler, little understood though it
was to the general public, culminated
ill the widespread agitation
which brought such legislation
as that sponsored by Governor
Hughes of New York and
left racing with a name which it
may never live down.

Of RUTH SCHLAGOWSKY
Cur darling one from us is gone,
The voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Her gentle voice is heard 110 more,
The voice we loved so well;
She beckons us from yonder shore
Where heavenly anthems swell.
Your'e gone from us but not forgotten,
Still bound by Love's strong
chain;
Around the snow white Throne
of God,
Some day we'll meet again.
A _ il. _ til _1
Aim mere we n never suv gooubye,
With Jesus we shall ever be;
To sing his praise evermore
Throughout a vast eternity.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth her lonely casket keeps;
But our thoughts will always linger
Around the grave where Ruth
sleeps.
