It looks as though this winter Is to
be divided into two innings, the first
a little too cold but conducive to
health ana good trails, the other too
warm und bad for dog racing. Com
plaints are bound to be heard In either
case. An optimistic weather sharp
says that there Is still a month of
winter left and the weather Is likely
to turn cold and stay so late Into
spring. On the other hand prognos
ticators point to the open water not
far out and say that there will be
mild weather from now on.
The Patriotic festival last night un
der the Auspices of the Ladles' Aid
Society of the Federated church was
a pronounced success. A large crowd
was present to partake of the fine
turkey dinner during which there was
music. Following the repost the pro
gium of patriotism was given. The
singing of Mrs. Poteet und violin play
ing of Miss Johnson were of the usual
high standard set by these artl3ts
and were greatly appreciated. The
flag drill by fourteen school children
was very well done. The address by
Judge Tucker an "The Great Men of
Old Virginia" was very fine Indeed.
The judge was In his element in deal
ing with the national heroes producer
by his native state to whom he ren

warmly received and his address was
i in thorough harmony with the occa

Dr. Wesley, the genial councilman
from the Igloo precinct, met with
at. accident recently which Is not only
painful but of a nature to arouse
the symathetlc support of every dog

piotected not only by hla rights as a
citizen but by a policeman’s star as
well when a dog team came along at
a headlong pace without bells, or
cymbals, to give warning of impend
ing danger. The dignified and kindly
cc uncllman was knocked down and
shamefully trampled on by the dogs.
When he aro3e he found that his right
knee was severely sprained which ac
counts for his wearing a cane today.

One important fact In connection
with the matter U that the doga ut
terly Ignored the policeman's star
worn by the councilman. They not
orly did not respect It but they chow
ot'*oCf one of the points. City Clerk
! O’imm has given the doctor a new
star and holds the other as evidence!
against dog driving on From siree' j
to prove that the city ordinance
has been violated at least once.
Grimm says that all dog drivers should
be careful. They may run down
women i nd children or even giown
' men and the sturdy bunch composing
the city eounc. but they should re-1
member that policemen's stars cost
money and the city needs all the
money it ' as If dog drivers cannot j
compeli their dogs to respect the bod
ies of human beings they should be
roundly tec red for allowing their
eager can.lies to chew points off of
silver stais lelonglng to the munici
pality.
Just before going to press this af
ttinoon Lieutenant Perrine, of the'
committee having in charge the ar
rangements for the Borden Mara’hon,
announced that the race will be post
pi ned from Monday next to Thurs
day. The reason assigned Is the con
t'nued soft weahter and the unbroken
trril which would make the time slow
If the race were pulled off on Monday.
This forenoon Andrew Olson was
bt ought in from the submarine witn
a broken leg and taken to Holy Cross
hospital where he was attended by
Prs. Heimlich and Sharpe. His right
tl igh bone was found to be fractured
about a third of the way above the
kure. The attending surgeons at
tempted to take a picture of the frac
ture by X-ray machine but the Juice
played out and the attempt was post
poned until Monday. The bone was
set and splints put on and the patient
is resting as comfortably as could be
expected.
It Is said that Olson was caught
in a cave-in in his workings and a
clod of dirt pinned him down and

Two games were played last night
in the Board of Trade billiard tourn
ament. The first was between Cra
mer, 135, and Borland, 115, In class
B. It was devoid of sensational play
ing but was marked by 3ome excellent
shooting at times and some misses ot
easy ones. Neither player seemed to
be up to usual form. Borland won in
the 73d inning while Cramer stopped
! at UO.
Then the table was brushed again
i and the spectators settled back to wit
ness a match In class A between Wal
lace Smith, playing 275, and Harold
Allan, playing 250. Smith started oft
strong and looked like a .winner, but
scon It developed that he bad a Jinks
.of some sort. Occasionally he would
miss an easy one but more often they
rolled badly. Time after time he made
difficult shots in order to get them
| together when a simple billiard would
have been easy, only to see the balls
stop in an almost impossible set-up.
Hr. was In consistent bad luck as the
game progressed until one of the In
'erests In the game was to see what
next would happen to him. As the
game drew to a close his bad luck
inf erased to such an extent that be
succeeded In scoring only 200 billiards
when his opponent ran out. Smtlh,
however, played very fine billiards
As an exhibition player he has had
few peers In this city and many of his
brilliant shots brought out applause.
Allan, on the other hand, began
ptorly. He was cool and careful but
could not seem to get them rolling
right. As the game progressed he
tightened up a bit on his nerves and
made consistent headway. Towards
the last he was steady and accurate.
He did not make as many showey
shots a3 his opponents alhtough som
of his around the table shots were
wonderfully accurate both as to des
tination and the speed necessary for
tho ball to arrive. He made mor.
fairly large runs than Smith, his
largest being 1<>. 15 and a numb r of 11
and 10.
Smith's highest run v, i . ■, '
alro a 11 and a 10. Smith's verage
was 2.25. and Allan's 2.79
