Those racea hit somd low ?pota, notably in a couple of the takes run at Saratoga, but tfyey also had momenta when they provided no end Of thrilla and enjoymeimto thousunda of race-goers. Fdr d* fine, all-around meeting it wa? pretty hard to top the Carolina Cup J meet at Camden, 8. C-t In the spring* MB?tniMly no racing assoetatlon or aecretary could put together a finer meeting than William duPont. Jr., presented at the boautifui Fair Hill course in Maryland this autumn. Those meetings represented the top spots, and there were many others that were most successful. A few fell down, but that whh harly the fault of the associations sponsoring thorn. In New York State the Ilockaway meetings were top class, and although one race was eliminated from tho Meadow Brook program In Septombor the two-raco meet, nevertheless, was worth going to see. The Meadow Brook Hunt Cup, the main race of this meet, afforded Richard K. Mellon's Escape, 3rd. a chance to make a brilliant showing, which the horso did. As a goneral rule, un amateur racing season provides a champion at timber racing, a top brush horse and a leader on the flat, but the last season was an exception in that respect. If you were nnming a timber champion you would have to consider at toast three horses, and selecting one for the crown would bu almost impossible. Escape. 3rd, won the Washington Birthday Plate at Camden, the Sand Hills Cup at l'lnehurst, tho Meadow Brook and the Pennsylvania Hunts Cup at Rolling Rock- The horse compiled a splendid record, but so did Paul Mellon's Wolbourne Jake, now dead, and Mrs. George 11. Hostwick a veteran Fugitive. Welbourne Jake won the Deep Run Hunt Cup, the Middleburg Cup and the all-Important Maryland Hunt t tip in his three starts. Unfortunately. he suffered a broken leg while frisking around his paddock and had to bo destroyed. Fugitive won the Carolina Cup, the (Jlenwood Cup. and the Connecticut Cup Osteud, another veteran campaigner, also had a handsome record, with victories In the Virginia Hold Cup, Radnor Hunt Cup, Gloucester Fox Hunters' Plate, Huntington Valley Cup, Ixmg Island Hunt Cup and Monmouth County Gold Cup. It also would bo difficult to overlook this fellow If you were naming a chnntplon IxjuIs Stoddard's Blackcock may have been the beHt of tho brush horses that were largely confined to the hunt1 meetings, and Richard K Mellon's* Toolbox and Mrs Jantes C. Clark's Itsaboy were the best at hurdles. Toolbox was not defeated In six starts over hurdles and Itsaboy won five hurdle races. In flat races run in the amateur meets, Itsaboy was unbeaten In six starts and Toolbox and Misrule, one of tho French subscription 'horses, divided the rest of tho honors. Each won four races on the flat i?nd Toolbox beat Misrule at Rolling Rock and the latter came back in the United Hunts meeting to turn the tables on his rival from the Mellon stable. Mrs. Payne Whitney's Oreentree Stable was the undisputed leader in steoplechaslng on the majof- tracks of the state with winnings of $39,330. Jungle King was the biggest winner for the stable with $12,695, but Sailor lieware, which gave a brilliant exhibition In winning the American Grand National at Belmont Park, undoubtedly was the best fencer of the season. "Sailor Beware won $11,930 Thomas Hitchcock's Rioter, a leader Inst season, had trouble during the spring and nothing was soon of him after that. He undoubtedly will be back In action next year. The season brought out some new C hoisea as well as the French subscription, horses which helped the gams greatly, but It also brought j%-~ three lieavy losses when J. E. Wide? ner's jBushtanger, the best of them all; John Han ford's Best Pliy; t line EL winnef, and William duPont Jr.'s. Rout#-'-One suffered fatal accidents. Tfe* first two want wrong In training gallops and had to be destroyed and Route One, which might have developed into a top Jumper, met his end in a race at Belmont Park. Postoffice Receipts Show Great Gains , u , That Camden la definitely on the upgrade U Indicated byt jihe rep^t^Of Ppatmaater C. P. DuUoae which ahowa that there baa been u4n increase in poatal receipt# for lM7< t>xer 1936 of over ten per cent. The report alao shows that 1937 topped all records on file in the local poHtofflce. These records show the receipts beginning with the year 1914. The ten per cent increase shown by the local post office is bettor by a good margin than the increase reported in Columbia and other post offices of the state. Columbia showed a five per cent increase. Postal receipts are taken from the records of stamp and envelope, also postcard sales, and do not Include money orders, bond sales and the like. \ Postmaster DuHose reports that incoming mall was heavier this year than In any preceding year. The efficient manner in which the big volumo of mall was handled Was due to tho complete organization the postmaster has lu charge. "it Is interesting to note," said Postmaster DuDose "thut there has been a consistent gain in every quarter of 1937 over 1936 or any previous years. During the entire year there was but one month in which a decline was recorded and that was very slight." The records of the postmaster show that during the March, 1936, quarter the sales amounted to $6,716 48 and in 1937 increased to $7,617.03. For the June quarter receipts in 1936 amounted to 16,276.73, and in 1937, $6,946.19. In the September quarterly report 1936 receipts totaled $4,917.01, and 1937 receipts were $">.028.93. The December quarterly report foi\ 1936 totaled $7,134.71. and the 1937 total was $7,738.60. The annual sales for 1936 amouat-ed?ttr--m.fr43-.93, and for 1937,116,529.75. Prof. J. A.

MAY BAN FIREWORK8 Robert Sanders, Janitor of the Sumter high school, became a belated casualty of the Christmas fireworks nuisance when he was cleaning up the debris of the celebration today. While burning trash a left-over firecracker exploded In his face, seriously Injuring one eye. He was treated by Dr. Dunn, who hopes the eye may be feaved. Since Christmas Dr. Dunn has treated .three other persons whose : eyes were badly injured by fireworks Two of the.se were Sumter patients and the third from Hartsville Every one who is in favor of plae ing a ban on fireworks next Christmas can aid in tho good work by communlcatilng their sentiments to city council by mail or word of mouth ?Sumter Item.

Country Team Wins First Of Series They g?ve%u?trf t^p goals us a handicap < allowance, hut the ladft led by Joe Bates had no need of thera, as they fan wild on the smooth turf of the nemfter one polo held Sunday ' to take the flrat of the Devlne ,cup games from Town, 11 to 6. I Paced by Bates, who ran the goal gong four times during the encounter, the Country riders outclassed the jTown gang "In every department of the game, even though the latter unit carried the names of Dick Floyd and Major Wilkerson in the battle lineup. | Country started right off the bat to demonstrate that the handicap allowance was mor? ftf # technical sss . ture than anything needed to even 'up the playing strength of the two 'units. They might Just as well have packed the 4wo goals In moth ballB or placed them In a burial vault for they surely Were not necessary. Oharles DuBose, one of the best riders thlB writer has seen on the polo turf In many moons proceeded to open the scoring for Town In the first few minutes of play but Kirby Tupper came back to snare two beautiful goals and pit hlB team to the 'fore, 4 to 1. Major Wilkerson narrowed the gap to a 4-2 perspective Iwlth a long carry and shot. Joe Bates, who is as accurate on penalty shots as Sammy Baugh is at slinging the pigskin trickled a nice poke between the uprights. At this juncture Ancrum Boykin had the desire to see how hiB name would look on the duy's scoring pad .and the gap widened to 6 to 2 with :Country leading. Dick Floyd took a pretty feeder from the Major and the score was 6-3. I The fourth chukker was a battle between two teams bent on a defensive program and scoring was at zero. The fifth found Joe Bates poking a high lofty shot between the uprights to Klve~Tfis"Team a 7 to 3 lead. Town was scoreless In this period. ; The sixth found both teams opening on the offensive and the ponies went ' up and down the field in a bewilder-! ing attack program. Floyd, of Town, brought two counters home In about' five minutes and IiIb team was within two goals of Country, j It was at this point that Lightfoot I New York police found butchers there selling dressed turkeys weighed with lead. One butcher was caught in the act and placed under bond of $1,000. The buyer found three pieces of lead In the bird that weighed one pound, ten ounces. and Bates began their attack and j when the smoke cleared .they had f.. pushed fire goals Into the record and raised the score, to }!
