With the approaching races to be
held at the Eastern Carolina Fair
Grounds on next Monday, Labor Day,
one of the main topics of conversation
in this section, is the scene around the
stables at the grounds where the horses
are being kept in a very busy one. At
present there are ten horses in thscc
stables, among them being several
from Virginia and Pennsylvania, and
when the trainers take these fleet
footed animals out for the daily trials
around the track everybody present
sits up and takes notice.
The stables at the Fair grounds are
equal to those found at any race track
in the State and the very best of care
is taken with the animals being kept
there. Among the horses now being
trained at the track is the famous Billy
Boy, owned by A. B. Cox, of Cove
City. Billy Roy has been entered
only in five races since his track career
began but in three of these he was
acclaimed victor.
Another fact horse seen at the
stables and which has shown remarkable
speed in trial runs is Billy Hal owned
by T. A. Grantham of this city. After
the regular races have been concluded
on Labor Day this latter horse will
run a match with Billy Boy and this
event promises to be a thriller.
Charles H. Bush and his son, of Penn
sylvania, expert horse trainers, have
n at the track for several days
getting in trim a string of horses which
thev will enter among the races. Among
these are Belting G., owned by Charles
Codd, of Portsmouth, Va., June Hoy
owned by Charles Bush, and Mary
B. owned by Sheriff Reid of Elizabeth
City. Each of these horses is showing
up fine and when the Labor Day races
. are pulled off the spectators will sec some
real racing.
Princess, another fast horse; owned
by Fred Bray, will also be entered in
these races as will Mary H. owned by
Thomas Holton of Bridgeton, and
Rockefelbr owned by John Dawson of
lasDcr.
The Labor Day races give promise of
beinit the most spectacular ever held
in Craven county and the directors
of the Fair Association Company,
who are promoting the event, look for
one tf the biggest crowds ever gathered
in this city to witness such an event
While the horse racing" will be the chief
hmn event the motorcycle racing will by
W no means fail to be exciting.
Among the speed kings who will be
seen on the track that day will be Cap
tain David Lancaster, of Vanccboro
Captain Lancaster won the first prize
An the race for two cylinder machines
on July 4 at this same track aid will
exert every effort to repeat his victory
However, there are several riders in
this city who have their mind set
on winning this prize and each after
noon can be found at the getting
familiar with the ground and getting
their machines tuned up.
Glenburnie Park will be open to all
picnickers and it is expected that many
of the visitors as well as a large number
of local citizens will spend the early

and eat their luncnes ocncain me siutuc
;of one of the hundreds of stately trees
which are to be found there. The racing
will start promptly at t o'clock. A

intimated plainly that he will accept

New York, Aug. 25. Coincident
with the return on the Indiana-to-the-
coast automobile tourists to Indianapolis
the latest arrival R. P. Henderson
motor car designer divulged important
discoveries resulting from the use o
kerosene for fuel instead of gasoline
in two cars which made the 4 015
mile trip.
Ray Harroun well known as a racing
driver and Mr. Henderson both drove
cars that burned kerosene 1914, models
of the Henderson Motor Car Company.
The cheapness of kerosene as against
gasoline was impressive.
Each car carried five passengers the
cost per passenger for fuel being $6.50
for the 4 015 miles or about one-fifth of
the railroad excursion rate of $30 to
California. In the de luxe model 230
gallons of kerosene were used. The cost
of the fuel along the route ranged from
seven cents to about thirteen cents a
gallon.
Mr. Henderson found that kerosene
increased the motor's efficienty. This
he discovered was due to the fact that
the new fuel has a higher heat unit
than gasoline. The explosive power
however is not greater: It took less
kerosene vapor than gasoline in the
cylinders. No carbon developed in the
motor but on the contrary the new
fuel prevented the forming of carbon
deposits.
The trip with kerosene as fuel was
vital to the automobile industry by
reason of the fact that gasoline had
mounted high in price and engineers
were puzzled as to the outcome. Gaso
line ranges in price the country over
from 20 to 40 cents a gallon.
Both Mr. Harroun and Mr. Hender
son were themselves surprised at . the
degree of success of the experiment
"Edward Payson Weston is said to
have worn out fully twenty pairs of
shoes in his coast-to-coast trip " said
Mr. Henderson. "That was not less than
$100 expense. So at $6.50 a passenger
for fuel it is cheaper to drive an auto
mobile to the coast than it is to walk
or travel on a railroad. In one spot
we drove twenty-five miles on second
gear owing to road conditions. That
meant the motor was revolving about
three times as fast as on high gear
yet at this tremendous speed the kero
sene was turned into vapor just as
effectively as at slower speed. The
problem of vaporizing kerosene if the
thing that barred it as a fuel previous
to our success. In the higher altitudes
where the average motor car loses
two per cent, of its power for every
1 000 feet upward it travels our cars
showed no loss of power whatever.
At 1 2 000 feet the average car loses
25 per cent, of its power. We have
driven in high altitudes before and have
measured power-loss accurately but
we were surprised to find no such oc
currence on this occasion."
The trip encountered every possible
condition mud, sand: mountains, rocky
passes, high altitudes dry desert at
mosphere and dampness of the low
country. The car however tailed
to develop the least untoward conduct.

"My Dear Governor Sulzer Your
letter of August 23 has been received,
am in full sympathy with you, and
sincerely hope that you will be able to
convince thc people of New York and
the people of the United States that
you are absolutely innocent of any
wrongdoing. I myself last bummer
went through just about what you are
going through now, except that they
did not attempt the impeachment pro

South Carolina that I was being perse
cuted, and they stood by me, and the
ain thing for you to do iso let the
politicians and ringsters howl and
squirm, and convince the people that
you are right, and they will never for

NINETEEN TORPEDO BOATS ARE
ANCHORED NEAR SEWALS
POINT. ,
Norfolk, Aug. 27. Hampton Roads
last night took on a warlike appearance
when nineteen torpedo boats anchored
near the Scwals Point shore, and the
big guns of Fortress Monroe opened
fire on floating targets five miles at sea.
Outside the Virginia Capes, thirteen
battle ships and cruisers of the Atlantic
fleet were engaged in torpedo practice.
Ten companies of coast artillery from
Fort Du Pont, Delaware, took part in
thc target practice at Fort Monroe.
Thc firing began at 10 o'clock and
continued until 3 o'clock this morn
ing. Thc mortar batteries were used
and thc shells instead of being fired on
a line at thc targets, we c sent skyj
ward, to fall, thc gunners hoped, on
l he object of their aim hve miles
away.
This practice will be continued un
til Friday, when the Atlantic fleet off
thc Virginia Capes is expected to re
turn to Hampton Roads. The torpedo
boats in the roads took no part in the
firing last night, but when the search
light at Fort Monroe spread over tbe
water, thc tiny little fighter added the
realistic background to the scene.
Thc battleships now at sea are the
Wyoming, Arkansas, North Dakota
Delaware. Utah, Rhode Island, Geor
gia, New Jersey, Minnesota, Ohio,
Kansas and Nebraska. incsc snips
are now engaged in qualifying gun
ners for torpedo firing, and will no
