The pgj,. had moved away from the rest bo that Gigolo, in third place, was fifteen lengths back. Eight horses went to the post and Q|)|y four finished, Outlaw following I Gigolo by about four lengths. Of the fo'ui which went down, one will never m again. The great old bay gelding Trouble Maker ran his last race to day, falling at the seventeenth fence I and breaking his neck. Trouble MukI er's record of 8:51 8-5, set in 1932, I still stands, for today's winning time I Even the natural regret at tho passing in action of a great horse whose name has been so long assoI ciated with this race, failed to mar the crowd's pleasure in the superbly I earned victory of the honest New York horse, which went to the front I half through the race, jumped almost I faultlessly, and then (had the heart to stand off an amazing drive at the I finish that seemed almost certain to overtake him. A superb day, more 'like June than an April afternoon, gave to the race a setting of high blue and gold and a crowd of 20,000 persons splashed I the color of their sport clothes I against the green of the 'hillside at the finish and straggled across the rolling meadows through which the race is run. The going was superb and it was I not until the horses had begun to ::ie that they began falling. BenI janiin Leslie Behr's Mullah was tho fir-*. t.> down, at the eighth fence. T crowd tame early and the vant age point- on the course were filled an hour before post time. The horses, carefully groomed and ready for the severest test American amateur rac \(^ has, had to thread their way ^ through the crowd at the paddock as ^ tbey entered to be saddled'. Then the pink-coated leads started the parade to the post. The horses were there a very short while before they were H Charlie White, who rode Captain Kettle to his victories here last year and the year before, broke in front with him and Noel Laing moved up with Trouble Maker soon after the first fence to a challenging! position. Trouble Maker stayed there until his accident. Between the second and third fences Trouble Maker moved' into the lead and sailed the famous big third fence, with a great deal to spare. He was standing back very far in his jumps air the, way. Stuart S. Janney, who rode a very fine race throughout on the winner, moved up with the big chestnut at this point and was running third and fourth for awhile, the horse jumping very well. j On the far side Trouble Maker was still leading and Gaptain Kettle went far back, running for a time in fifth place. Here Vaudeville went out to make Some of the running for a time. A.- they sailed down the middle of the course to start the last circuit, Hotspur went out to the lead, and he was to stay there for the remain <ler of the race. At times he was leading by as much as four or five 1'"uble Maker ran second for most <ff t:.e way then until he struck the ^yentventh fence and went down. hito Logan bringing Captain Kettle yp and moved into second place just oeforc Trouble Maker fell. On the' *a: >;de he challenged for the first t:mo and cut down about two lengths on the leader. But Hotspur, going very evenly and still with a world of running left, took most of that back again. Hotspur had perhaps five lengths they turned to hit into the last two fences and White and Captain ^eti-.c began coming up again. From o hillside it seemed that Hotspur tiring a bit and the crowd gasped **ach time as he sailed at the last o fences. It did not seem that e hit either of them, though he was ery close. They came over the last en?? with Captain Kettle right at Ul' and coming fast. Bowm the lane formed by the red; ^nces set up for the crowd at the n sh the pair slammed in another n the great finishes which this race **nis so often to furnish. White, ?m over until he seemed almost to ^end into the horse's neck, drove y?n Kettle, lSl gfe jPW had enough left. Jest at tho nish it seemed that they had stop ^, *** challenge, and they won with clear margin. ~ nf!ftfpQT rmn 'well' here Inst year ^*c-made a Handing mistake and ~ a Interest Reduced j on Farmers Loans Columbia, April M.-Julian H. Scarborough, president of the Federal Land liank of Columbia and genoral agent of the Farm Credit Administration of Columbia, announced today that effective April 10, the interest rate on new loans made through national farm loan association* had -been reduced to 4 1-2 per cent and on loans made directly by the bank to 4 8-4 per cent. This Lj the second interest reduction made by the hank recently, the interest rate on new loans through national farm loan associations having been reduced from 5 to 4 1-2 per cent on April 1, Mr. Scarborough pointed out. The. interest rate of 4 1-2 per cent is the lowest, he said, at which Federal land banks have ever made loans during the 18 vears of their history. "The saving," said Mr. Scarborough which the land banks have been able to effect on new loana is being passed on to farmer-borrowers. This is one of the great benefits of a cooperative land banking system." P rom the time the Rmergency Farm Mortgage Act of 193d was passed up (to April 1, 1935, the Federal land (banks made loans through national farm loan associations at 5 per cent, with a temporary reduction to 4 1-2 per cent until July 12, 1938. After that date loans made during the two-year period will bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent. New loans, however, made at 4 1-2 per cent will bear that rate during the entire life of the loan. Loans' made directly to borrowers by the land banks carry ian interest rate 1-2 of 1 per cent i higher than those made through naj tional farm loan associations. I The interest rate op Land Bank .Commissioner loans which are made on either first or second mortgage sejcurity will remain at 5 per cent per annum. Military Park At | King's Mountain Washington, April 29.?Development of a national military park and j recreational center at the historic Kings Mountain battlefield in South Carolina was assured with announcej ment by Harry L. 'Hopkins, federal l relief administrator, that more than 6,000 acres of land in the vicinity would be purchased under the land use adjustment program. The land is located in York and Cherokee counties and a portion of the acreage acquired includes the historic 'battlefield and will be set aside as a national military .park administered by the national park service. Remainder of the acreage, which is unsatisfactory for use as agricultural lands, will (be developed into a : recreational center with management in the hands of the South Carolina state forestry commission. Rotary Held Annual Meet j An outstanding event of the week was the Indies' Night banquet of the [ Rotary club given at the Pines last Thursday evening.

Pitts upheld the negative. The judges, composed of three Rotary Anns, decided in favor of the negative. A prize was offered a year ago to the member whose attendance for the year should be most nearly perfect. Since Dr. J. W. Corbett, J. H. Osborn^, Sam Karesh and Marlofi Reyman all had perfect attendance, it was necessary to draw for the prize and Sam Karesh was the luofcy winner.

The Government pays such necessary expenses as transportation to canvp and return and furnishes wholesome food, uniforms, laundry service and athletic equipment. The camps run for thirty days and attendance does not obligate the candidates for future military service of any kind.
