REUTER'S GOOD COACHING. LINKS ARE IN FINE CONDITION AND OTHER LOW SCORES ARE LOOKED FOR BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS.

While playing In a foursome with Dr. C. S. Bond,. C. S. Bond and Dr. Wheelock from Ft. Wayne, Prof. J. F. Thompson set a new nine hole record over the Country club links Friday by negotiating the nine holes in 31 strokes. Ills play throughout the game was beautiful, his long driving and excellent putting being the features of his play. Thompson reeled off the first four holes in the par figures of 2 strokes under bogey, but at the fifth hole he displayed an extraordinary bit of fine golf by making this very difficult hole in 2, which is 2 strokes better than the Colonel and with such a magnificent start he fin ished the last four holes in one stroke under bogey by laying a 25 yard ap proach dead to the hole and poling the put at the ninth green. Thompson has been playing high clas3 golf all season, always being up among the host of the players here. This performance speaks well for Mr. Reuter's ability as an instructor as he has been coaching Thompson since the club has engaged his services this spring. It Is hoped they will be fortunate enough to secure him for the coming season. The former record of the course was 25, held jointly by W. C. Hibberd and Mr. Reuter, the club's professional. The eighteen hole record for the course is 71, held by Reuter. The links are In fine condition and a good many low scores are looked for before the season closes. Following i3 Thompson's record card 3, 3, 4, 4, 2, 5, 3, 5, 5,-34. DUNKIRK AFTER GAMES. Would Like to Have a Series Decatur. With Dunkirk, Ind., Sept. 21.

Peanut meal has been for a long time a staple article in the dietary of the poor classes in Spain. Bread made from pure peanut meal is light and porous, but it is sakl to be unpalatable because of a persistent, poppylike taste. Rye bread containing 23 per cent of peanut meal cannot be distinguished from ordinary rye bread, while far more nutritious.

GEORGE G. TIED RECORD.

MADE THE MILE IN 2:05 ANGUS POINTER RACED HEAT IN 2:03!4 CHIME BELLS HAD BAD FALL, UNSEATING FOUR DRIVERS. Columbus. O., Sept. 21. Average time of better than 2:C in nine pacing heats, two accidents in the 2:12 trot, the equalling of the year's trotting race record by George G. and the lifting of Major Mallow's driver, were the principal incidents of Friday's grand circuit racing that an estimated crowd of 2,xm watched. George G tied the season's record. set here Tuesday by Sonoma Girl and established the record for trotting geldings, when he won the first heat of the afternoon away from Oro in '2:7y4. Angus Pointer had Mcllenry behind him today in the free for all pace, one heat of which he lost Thurs day, and made the fastest time of the week, 2:'4 in the final heat. Wild Bell won the 2:12 trot, Quintell being the original favorite. In the second heat, Chime Bells fell on the last turn and drivers Tierre, Mcllenry, Jarnes and Payne were unseated in the mix-up. All but Mcllenry escaped uninjured. He sustained a sprained arm. Alma, owned by the Oakland farm. Wellsville, N. Y., entered the 2:10 class when she won this heat. Near the finish of the third heat, the mare went to a breaK after falling to get through next the fence and broke her left hind leg. She was shot a few moments later. Hedgewocd Boy was made favorite in the 2:07 pace and the betting on the event developed in the heaviest of the week. He won handily, being forced out to a record oj 2.-0V4- Ardelle, first choice, made the same time in winning the only heat decided in the 2:05 pace. PUTTING IN HEW RAILS Bad Condition at Fifth and Main Remedied. The old curve rails at the corner of Main and Fifth streets, which have long been in a bad condition, much to the discomfort of motormen and conductors, both on the city lines and interurbans, are being removed and a new set installed. The term color blindness Implies an entire absence of the color sense, and there ore a fe-,v persons who are in this condition, but it also Includes all the forms of partial color blindness In which the perception of one of the fundamental colors red, green and violet is wanting, ana wnicn are known as red blindness, green blind ness and violet blindness. The line be tween these various kinds of color blinduess and a perfect perception of colors is not sharply drawn, so that a larg9 number of persons have what Is called a feeble color sense, which falls short of actual color blindness. There is no doubt that color blindness iu its various forms is much more common than is generally supposed, and it Is more common amorg the imperfectly than the well educated classes. Barbers A sen Asro. The first barbers of whom there is any record plied their trade in Greece in the fifth century B. C. In Rome the first barbers operated in the third century B. C. fa olden times in Eng land the barber and the physician were Identical. Thus a king's barber was also his chief medical adviser. In the time of Henry VIII. of England laws were made concerning barbers. of which the following is an extract "No person occupying a shaving or barbery tn London shall use any sur gery, letting of blood or other matter, except the drawing of teeth." After It Is All Over. When yarns are being spun one hears a good deal concerning the curious antics people go through when highly excited, but very little is said about the man who "gets scared after it is all over." And the latter, not being so constituted that he can faint, as a woman often does after a fright, generally keeps his own counsel and often is given the eredit of being cool and "nervy" when the fact is that his knees are ready to bump together for mutual support.

"ARE YOU A MASON?" WAS FOUND PLEASIHG

However, the Cast Was Comparatively Weak. "Are You a Mason," a decidedly mirthful comedy-drama, was the attraction at the Gennett Friday night. Although the show carried but little of its own scenery, it pleased immensely. The comedy, which is the product of Leo Detrichstein, is one which in itself i3 sufficient to provoke mirth of the genuine spontaneous sort. For this reason the comparatively weak cast was able to please the audience. The performance of William Bowman as "Frank Perry" a would-be member of the Masonic fraternity and his father-in-law, "Amos Bloodgood, -(Geo. Thompson,) a supposed Mason, were particularly pleasing and were prob ably the strongest in the entire cast.

He said that she had never tried to force money from him by blackmail. Prosecutor Jessup made the flret argument and wa3 followed In tmn by Attorneys Bobbins, Study and Johnson.

Accordingly, bavins: clothed himself in rags of the moat disreputable appearance, be walked into one of the most aristocratic restaurants In the city and orJered a cup of chocolate. The waiter refused t terve him unless he showed evidence that he could pay. The prmee at one drew a roil of bank not oh from hla pocket and offered one of large denomination to the astonished attendant The latter took the bill and carried it at onee to the proprietor, who aent for the police, in the meantime allowing his strange guest to be aerved.
