Just sign "pen name", together with your own name and address, the latter for our information only. The other day as we stood before the Court House, with its old brick wall and spacious lawn und looked at the Lafayette cedar, that scene in the early clays of our Country seemed to come alive again, when the gallant Marquis de Iafayette stood on that spot and planted that tree.... What memories the streets of Camden evoke from the past and make almost realities of the present day? once more the great General Washington rides into town in his coach and four, escorted by the men of Camden, and we are reminded, too, of the brave Baron DeKalb, "by birth a German, by nature a citizen of the world," who here sacrificed his life on the sacred altar of freedom. Truly we are citizens of no mean city and have a right to say with pride in our dwelling place, "I am a citizen of Camden," like the youths of Athens who vowed never to disgrace their city. * * * * And in this coming week, no little attention will be paid throughout our land to Camden on this 200th anniversary of its founding. May its future be as happy and benefcent as its past has been stirring and illustrious. And il will prove so, for its foundations are laid deep and strong in the immutable bed-rock of those values that endure. * * * * When we think of Carolina Cup I>ay and what it has come to mean in the cause of true Sport in America und therefore of manly, courageous living, of what it is doing in furtherance of the breeding and development of that noble animal, the horse, of what Carolina Cup Day does to j give thousands of race-goers a day of good, wholesome, stimulating .Sport under the open sky, when we think of all this, let us wish long life and happiness to those two sportsmen to w<hom we are chiefly indebted for it, Erneet L. Woodward and Harry D. Kirkover. * ? With all its problems, what a fresh, new world we are privileged to live ,in. The other evening at about six o'clock, when we went into "the big room," the golden rays of the sun touched into renewed life Walter I^aunt Palmer's painting of a Venei tian scene, the real sunlight bringing ( out the mellow red of the bricks in | the wall at the water's edge andj | changing the coloring of the clouds in i I the distance. .. .It was almost like being in Venice again. And then to turn on the radio and ' be carried on "wings of song" to the j i Waldorf, in New York, and listcoi to' i that fine orchestra which plays in the Surf Room every evening; and finally i to open the front door of "our house beside the road" and take up the i paper, bringing the news of the world ' j?and plenty of g-o-o-d news, too.... Why should not one have a grate[ ful heart ? I The Chronicler. Texaco Company to Make Road Reports The I>eKalb Street Texaco Service Station has been advised that Stu Hawley will arrive here on Tuesday, March 21, at 4:15 in the afternoon. He will be met at the station by Mayor Kennedy and several members of city council. Mr. Hawley is on a capital-to-capital traverse using Texaco products, and the trip is being made for the i purpose of getting road information j along the various routes. It is to be secured from state highway departs j ments and to be incorporated into i what is to be known as the "Texaco j National Road Reports." The way it is going to work is: The station operator asks his cub- j tomers when and where they are going on their next trip. Then ho | writes this information on a postal ( card and sends it to the above ad- ' dress. It is very important that the date of departure be given and if sufficient time is allowed the reply is sent by ordinary mail. If there be any doubt about the time necessary for the del.very of the I'.- g. it is sent by air mail. In emergency cases a reply is sent by night letter teil'r.g the customer of the roads to follow the first day or so of the trip and giving him the name and location of the hotel at which marked maps for the balance of the trip may be wait ing for him. The maps furnished show the roads to use; give accurate information about construction work which wiH' ^>e encountered or show roads around such work if it be at all hard to get by or over. They show distances also, and a card calling attention to the use of scrip books is enclosed. Information of unusual happenings or inspections or points of intereet ia likewise furnished.

At this meet ' the spectators were few compared to the following year. The second meet took place March 21, 1981, showing that The Carolina < Cup was now an established event, \ destined to compare with any in the 1 land. From all parts of the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland and the i north came the spectators, swelling < the gallery to fully 5,000. Aiken, Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Charleston and other resorts made it a gala i event, while from far and near came 1 hundreds of just horse lovers, includ- J ing many colored people. : The winner of the second meeting ) was "Sea Soldier," ridden by J. V. David, of Brookville, Long Island. So, < fine a performance did "Sea Soldier" , run over the stiff course, that last j year he was one of the horses to finish in The Grand National. This will make the second Carolina Cup winner to run in the English classic. "Sea Plant," owned by Mrs. Francis P. Garvin and ridden by Randolph Duffy, was second and third was Ernest L Woodward's "Emerald Isle." Last year the meet was run March 26th, and proved to be the banner event of the steeplechase season. No less than 12,900 people viewed the meet, in which "Troublemaker" came through victorious by the clever horser ai ship of Noel Laing. It was a great race to win, as "Primero," owned by Mrs. T. H. Symington and ridden by Raymond Woolfe, of Westfield. N. J.. was close at the winner's heels all the way. "Sunset," owned by Harry 1 >. Kirkover and ridden by Holmes Alexander, was third. The Springdale Course was given to the City of Camden by that fine; and retiring sportsman, Ernest L.I W oodward, of I>eRoy, N. Y. It was suggested by another New York State sportsman, Harry ID. Kirkover, who! has really been the leading spirit in' making The Carolina Cup meet the: great success it enjoys. To make The) Carolina Cup meet a great success I was one of the principal views in | Mr. Kirkover's sporting career, and now that it has been assured, it is his dream to see a Carolina Cup winner take first prize at Aintree. But true sportsmanship is shown in many other ways also. The Carolina meet is truly an amateur event, all riders are amateurs. There is no admission charged to see the race*. Everybody is invited to come, an invitation that has been printed and published far and wide in the southern press. Carolina Cup day now means the gala day of the year in the Iodine State. It is the day when families from all parts of the state are likely to meet. Of course the Governor of South Carolina will be there. It is the Governor in person who presents the Carolina Cup to the owner of the winner and congratulates the winning rider. . The gallery consists of people of all ranks and file. The socially elite from the cottage colonies of Camden, Aiken, Charleston, Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other centers mingle practically as one on that occasion. Those who do not come in autos are not going to be outdone. The old buggy and horse is much in evidence. Others come in wagons drawn by mules; -some^^ooma. on horseback and others simply walltf " Any method to get there is the motto ?a motto carried out. So what Bunker Hill Day is-to the people of New England, what the Old Sea EXay used to be to the Jersey farmer, what El Grande Fiesta is to the Inca, or the Derby is to Kentuckians, The Carolina Cup meet has already become to the Carolinians. And j to add to that interest The CarolinaCup is dedicated to that Pnince of Nol^emen in the steeplechase world, Thomas Hitchcock, Sr., as a tribute of appreciation of his many years of 1 untiring interest in the developing of | J steeplechasing in America. The name of Hitchcock in thet< equestrian world has long stood out 1 in this country. Pacing back time ' for the space of over half a century, 1 Thomas Hitchcock, Sr., has been and ' still is a leading figure. He play^i ' on the first polo team formed in the 1 United States and today his son, 4 Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., is the world's i ranking high goal player. Mrs. t Hitchcock, who has passed her three- j wore years and ten, still rides to the i lounds and is M. F. H. of the Aiken 1 Hunt. ^ This gala day given to the people J >f the Carolinas and the horse loving ? r ^ world at large is really a cprnjJ well as a race meet, ft to ^ J dedicated to the horse and i? J "killing" for the bookmakers, Jfl ting is discouraged in order fefl those who come a day of pleesonfl enjoyment..
