NEWNAN. GA„ FRIDAY, MAY 26.
ly. Much credit is due to Messrs.
Burpee, Dent, Dunbar and White-
head for the excellent arrangements,
as. well as for the fairness with which
the various contests were conducted.
Racing Matinee.
The grounds of the Newnan Driv
ing Association on Tuesday afternoon
last presented quite an animated
scene, and the sporty, fun-loving
populace were out in full force, not
taking into account the more staid
and sober contingent that came along
just to see that the races were con
ducted with order and decorum.
Ample preparations had been made
by the management to insure the
comfort of the spectators, and the
weather was perfect.
The fun began at 3 o’clock, opening
with the bicycle races. The entries
were as follows: John I. Miller, Jr.,
and Bob Hogan, of Corinth, Will Cox,
Walter Holmes, Rawson Dent, Char
lie Dent, Aubrey Fuller, and Tom
Lewis, of Newnan. The first race
was won by Walter Holmes in 2:48,
who likewise carried off first prize—a
complete set of Morgan & Wright
tires, offered by W. A. Dent.
The second race was won by Will
Cox in 2:62. To him was awarded
the second prize—ft pair of Morgan &
Wright inner tubes, offered by Glenu
Burpee.
The track was in fine condition, and
the wheel race was much enjoyed,
each contestant being' an especial
favorite with different coteries of
friends and backers.
The equestrian sports opened with
a pacing match between “Catherine
Clay” and “Bacteried.” The test of
speed between these well-known
horses, both of which had “won their
spurs” on other fields, aroused con
siderable enthusiasm among the spec
tators, and it was a nip-and-tuck race
from start to finish. The latter won
out, though, covering the distance in
2:30.
In the trotting race the following
entries were made, to-wit: “Prince
Olay,” “Patti Legyard,” “Ruby,
and “J. Cheston King.” This race
went to “J. Cheston King,” although
the other horses made very creditable
time.
The running race, half-mile dash,
was contested by “Parol,” “Proctor
Knott” and the “Moreland Filly.
The filly distanced her rivals in
manner that greatly surprised and
disgusted the owners of the other
horses, but they took their defeat
gracefully.
The most comical as well as one of
the most interesting features was the
mule race. Various and diverse
specimens ot this gentle quadruped
distinguished alike for its amiability
and for “ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain,” came gaily to
the scratch. Each animal wore as
ornaments gear-marks of varying
picturesqueness, and toted a colored
jockey. Four entries filled the list.
“Nancy Hanks,” a gaunt, ill-favored
beast, led the race at the start; but
she was soon overtaken by “Lizer
Jane,” a pigeon-toed, no-horned
creature that at first flung her awk
ward hulk forward with about as
much grace as a dromedary. As she
warmed up, however, she began to
unlimber, and, curling her caudal ap
pendage above her hurricane deck,
she made a dash for the goal, leaving
“Nancy Hanks” far in the rear.
But the race is not always to the
swift. “Sleepy Sue,” a slab-sided
descendant of Balaam’s ass, came
into the game at this junctnre and
raised a whole lot of dust. Urged for
ward by her rider, she made a spurt
that created no little astonishment
among the spectators, and for a while
it looked as if she would distance her
competitors. But, alas! No man can
foresee the end of a mule race. “Bill
McKinley,” a flop-eared hybrid of
uncertain ancestry, loomed up as
factor in the contest, and pushed
himself forward at a rate that soon
put him in the lead—much to the dis
gust of the boys who were “guessing”
on'the result. It is a fact, moreover,
that “Bill” held the lead until the
judges’ stand was passed, distancing
the other males by several panels of
fence.
Taken altogether the races were
good, and the large crowd present
appeared to enjoy the event immense-
Supreme Court Sustains the Foot-Ease
Trade-Mark.
Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court,
Buffalo, has ordered a permanent in
junction, with costs, and a full ac
counting of sales, to issue against
Paul B. Hudson, the manufacturer of
the foot powder called “Dr. Clark’s
Foot Powder,” and also against a re
tail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining
them from making or selling the Dr.
'! Clark’s Foot Powder, which is de
clared, in the decision of the Court,
an imitation and infringement of
“Foot-Ease,” the powder to shake
j into your shoes for tired, aching feet,
now so largely advertised and sold all
over the country. Alien S. Olmsted,
of LeRoy, N. Y., is the owner of the
trade-mark “Foot-Ease,” and he is
the first individual who ever adver
tised a foot powder extensively over
the country. He will send a sample
Free to any one who writes him for
it. The.decision in this case upholds
his trade-mark aud renders all par
ties liable who fraudulently attempt
to profit by the extensive “Foot-
Ease” advertising, in placing upon
the market a spurious nud similar ap
pearing preparation, labeled and put
up in envelopes and boxes like Foot-
Ease. Similar suits will be brought
against others who are now infringing
on the Foot-Ease trade-mark and
common law rights.
There had been a brilliant company
at the home of a society leader—a
woman whose husband, while a very
worthy man, was noted rather for his
wealth than for his mental attain
ments.
“Well, Abner,” she said, after the
last visitor had gone and they had sat
down to talk it over, “it was a com
plete success, wasn’t it?”
“Sure,” replied the husband.
“Did yon notice Prof. Muchman?”
“He was the man with the bandage
around his neck, wasn’t he?”
Yes. You heard him talk, didn’t
you?”
“Oh, yes. I heard him.”
“What an astonishing vocabulary
he has.”
“Well, that may be what it is,”
said Abner, doubtfully, “but from the
way he held his head I should judge
it was a carbuncle.’
A Queer Kind nf Snviifce.
When Albert Henry Savage Lnndor
reached St. Petersburg on his way from
the Forbidden Land, the fact was duly
chronicled, and the London press asso
ciations sent cable messages to Austra
lia telling of the hairbreadth escapes
and manifold sufferings. The Melbourne
Times received but u short note, which
was this
“A. Savage Lnndor arrived in St.
Petersburg today from Tibet after
suffering greatly at the hands of the
natives."
This was meager enough, but the
news editor was equal to the occasion
The following morning, among the
other matters of news, the readers of
Tlie Times found this startling in forma
tion
“A savage lnndor got into St. Peters
burg yesterday, and lhe people of the
city were terrified After considerable
difficulty the beast, which came from
Tibet, was captured, taken to a re
mote place and there dispatched, it is
said that this is the first animal of the
sort ever seen in Russia. How he reach
ed the city after his fights with the na
tives of Tibet, which is a comparatively
unknown country, is a mystery. "
