TEE PINEHURST OVTLOOE PAGE 6 1920 111 ws vrhan wer The Fitting Tribute to Skill A SILVER cup to have and to hold through all the years an everlasting reminder of great triumphs won. In athletic sports, as in other forms of competition,, silver is the' accepted standard for ackowledgement of deeds well done. Whether in the trophy room of a club, or in the dining room or den of a well-appointed home, it is the treasured symbol of permanency, good taste, and refinement.

Marshall Ihe Vanderbilt Hotel New York WASSEON LOWERS TRACK RECORD Clips Full Second Off Former Mark A new track record for the five-furlong course at Pinehurst, and one that prob ably equals the American record for the distance on a half mile track, was made at last week's meeting of the local Jock ey Club by Wasseon, the big chestnut gelding owned by Henry B. Swoope and ridden by Huleoat, when he covered the journey in 1:00 4-5 and lowered the mark of 1:02 1-5 made by Joe Milner earlier in the season. The records for half mile tracks are not available but the fact that the Amer ican record for the distance on a mile track is :57 1-5 shows pretty conclusive ly that Wasseon 's achievement easily equals any record ever made on a half mile track, for it is known that the time on the smaller tracks is from three to five seconds slower than the mllers. This is due to the turns. On mile tracks the starting point is so arranged that in run ning five-eighths of a mile it requires only two- turns, while on half-mile tracks it requires four. As an indication of what a difference the turns make, it is in teresting to note that the record of :57 1-5 made by Panzareta over the mile oval at Juarez, Mexico, six years ago has stood ., unbroken, but at Belmont Park in 1919, Penrose negotiated the distance out of the straighaway chute in :55 3-5 seconds ; Mr Swoope has another horse in his barn that promises to cut a prominent figure in Pinehurst racing. It is his newly acquired jumper, Kate Glenn. She will make her first appearance of the season under colors this Wednesday after noon. She is entered in a chase over the full 12-jump course with Melos and others of the best junipers here, and the race in all probability will be one of the best ever seen at the local course. All of the races last Aveek were close and exciting. Uncle Sand defended his title as King of the runners over the longer route and easily accounted for the seven-furlong feature race from Tro ben, Joe Milner and several others of first-class calibre. Troben took the lead after rounding the first turn, but going down the back stretch Uncle Sand moved up within striking distance and followed Troben 's pace to the home turn where he came with his usual belated rush and overhauled Troben twenty yards from the finish. . One of the most spectacular races of the day was that of Queen of the Spa, who was entered in the six-furlong dash. She took the lead soon after the bar rier's rise and before the first turn was reached had opened up daylight on her opponents. Rounding the turn her sad dle slipped and she ran to the outside rail, permitting the entire field to slip through the opening and leave her and her jockey, Snyder, arguing as to wheth er or not he would fall off or cling to her neck. Snyder finally regained his seat and set sail for the field. Turning for home the little black mare was picking up her field one by one but it was too late to catch them all and she had to be content with third monev. High Olympus finished first in this event and Mary G. took the plp,ce. In the harness section of the after noon's sport, Zaquilla, driven by Hayes, took first money in the Class, A. trot from Lexel and Mike Kelley whp finished in the order named. The Class B. pace went to James Gen try after disposing of Prince Vertoit and Bingen Gentry. The summary: CLASS A.

A MAN OF FEW WORDS The River Didn 't Run Up; It Ran Down When J. K. Paulding was secretary of the navy he wrote to the postmaster of a small village in the South as follows! ''Sir: This department wishes to know how far the Tom Bigbee river runs up! " The answer came back: "It runs down." The postmaster general was informed of the affair, and failed to see the humor of it. He wrote a. letter to the postmaster that said: "Sir. Your appointment as postmaster is hereby re voked. You will turn over funds et cet era pertaining to your office to your suc cessor. ' ' In no wise put out the postmaster once more took up his pen, and the post master general received this: "The revenue for this office for the quarter ending September 30 has been 65 cents; its expenditures, same period, for candles and twine, 85 cents. Please instruct my successor to adjust balance." Detroit News. "WET" Our cellar's damp, Don't rouse yourselves! It's just the floor And not the shelves.
