ftBf KTHE HNEHURST OUTLOOK WJJMW A Til III VIIIOOIA 3 at HurdU Horn, Challenger on th Pinekurit Track, Comvi Home Wltb II lg Money This is the true story of the conquests of Little Horn. All men familiar with the record of steeple chasers, and all girls whatsoever fortunate enough to have wit nessed the performance on the Pinehurst track last winter and the sustained rivalry between Nat Hurd's hurdlers and Kodraan Wanamaker's string from the Meadow brook, know the Little Horn. p,v the end of the year this pride of Kurd's heart had led the whole pro cession, and held the palm alone.' Seeking greater fields to conquer Nat, like General Grant, advanced on Rich mond. Correct report was abroad that the flower and pride of old Virginia, the fast horses of the valley and the champions of the circuit were assembled there at the fair. Nothing daunted, the king of the Pine hurst track unheralded and unknown took his place at the post of the 2 mile steeple chase. Unknown is synonym for unpopular. Too many bookies, jockeys, owners, fans, spectators, and partizans have predicted & M JL A And at that, after a hand to hand com bat on the track at full tilt with his en raged rivals, the emancipated jockey brought our old favorite in third in this second race. Thus sharing honors with his mount, as did the knights of old. The Wuthlng-ion monument in minature form, fifty feet high, repro duced in granite, is about to be erected in the public square at Carthage. This event is the result o"f a nation wide inter est in the heroic performance of one of our neighbors, and will be the occasion of the presenting of certain memorials and testimonials from high quarters, in cluding the government of the Republic of France. The bronze tablets at the base will tell the story. One will read. In Honor of James Rogers McConnell 1887 A. D 1917 The other bears this legend. ' ' James Rogers McConnell, a citizen of Carthage, joined the French Army early in 1915 and after two years of distin guished service, fell in heroic battle with German aeroplanes on March 19, 1917. He fought for Humanity, Liberty and Democracy, lighted the Avay for his coun trymen and showed all men how to dare nobly and die gloriously." -1 I. - - A Hot Finish at the course of events for an unknown ele ment to be concerting. Hence it was, perhaps, that Little Horn was left at the post, 150 yards in the rear of the flying squadron. Picture if you can the fur) and despair of the major and the guv 'nor and the cunnel and the judge when this discarded waif overhauled the thorough breds from Warrington and the winners at the Maryland club; when hand over hand, so to speak, he broke the spirit of Louie Love, darling of the jumps, and " Remarkable, ' ' carrying the hopes and fortunes of a county on his back, and sprang into the stretchWrd under the wire less than a cobweb span, or a wink behind first money.
