On the steamship Minnehaha, which sailed recently for London, was probably the most valuable cargo of race horses ever shipped on a liner. Representing the cream of American thoroughbreds, James R. Keene's string of race horses, valued at over $500,000, are on board with the best of the Whitney stable. The horses go to race on the other side and will probably never be seen in this country again.

Affairs of the Sporting World

With Taft and John L. Griffiths speaking here today our happiness will be complete should Earlham spank. Wittenberg and R. H. S. decapitate the haughty Hamilton high school. Messrs. H. Lancaster and K. Karns, finely trained athletes, have started a physical culture school. About the time the sum la alleged to rise they prance around the vicinity of Hawkin's pond. A few days ago they started a physical culture school, but abandoned it at 6 o'clock the following morning, owing to the failure of their class to report for duty. One pupil's alarm clock failed to go off. The other pupil threw his out of the window when It sounded the alarm. Jack Hayden, the Indianapolis outfielder, who Joined the Cubs at the close of the A. A. season was the only re&ruit to join one of the leading National and American league teams who did not draw a bonus for his work. Kroh, the Cubs recruit pitcher, worked in one game and received $500, whereupon, he let out a howl for more. President Roosevelt is scheduled to be present at the Navy-Harvard game. As the midshipmen's commander-io-chlef and as a son of Harvard he cannot very well show much partiality. Al Kaufmann, the California heavyweight, will probably not fight any more bouts to New York, as he and his manager, Billy Delaney, have practically decided to return to California, where they have many offers for Kaufmann to fight Jim Barry, Jim Flynn ENTHUSIASM IS UNPRECEDENTED (Continued from Page One)

repaid in oratory, as the Big Four Road allowed a freight in the block ahead, and the special waited an hour. One of the candidate's brief and characteristic speeches of the day was delivered at Anderson after dark and in the rain, but to a big and enthusiastic audience. He paid a tribute to former President Harrison here, saying: "It is to me an intense pleasure to have received from the people of Indiana such a cordial welcome as we have had. Indiana, giving to the nation General Benjamin Harrison, makes me always feel grateful, because he, more than any other public man, first gave to me the assistance, the sympathy and the cordial support that made me aspire to judicial office. "Now, my friends, it is raining and I cannot keep you here. Your coming here in such numbers testifies to your interest in the election in November; testifies to the fact that Indiana is republican; that you appreciate the importance of continuing the prosperity that we have by rejecting Mr. Bryan again and continuing the republican party in power. Tells Prosperity Need. "What we need to put us on the way to the prosperity we have enjoyed for ten years is a restoration of confidence, and you will never bring that about if you put Into the executive chair a man who has so many halfbaked, unfounded, economic theories as the leader of the democracy. The interests of the laboring man, of the farmer and of the business man are identical, and in order to bring back good times you must not put in a man who is constantly advocating new experiments and whose experiments heretofore have always failed." It was reserved for Indianapolis to furnish the climax of the day for crowds and noise. A tremendous parade awaited his arrival, with the accessories multiplied , and enhanced. Three meetings were attended by the candidate, his extended effort of the day being before an irnmense audience at the Virginia ajenue auditorium, where Vice President Fairbanks pr- ' :

and other heavyweights before Jim Jeffries' club at Los Angolos, Cal., or the Pacific A. C. of the same place. Billy Papke is to receive a guarantee of $S,000 for fighting Stanley Ketchel a twenty-round battle at Jack. Gleason's club, in San Francisco, on the night of November 25. Jim Coftroth, the fight promoter of Colma, Cal., offered Papke a guarantee of $7,000, but as Gleasoii told T. E. Jones, manager of Papke, that he would give Billy $1,000 more than Coffroth offered, Jones quickly acepted) Gleason's terms and the articles were signed. Steve Crosby, Harvard end of nearty "twenty years ago, has beea to all the games at Cambridge, and Bays that not for many years has the coaching seemed so busineeelike or the team made more consistent progress. Carlisle, Pennsylvania and Princeton coaches say that the Villa Nova team plays about the roughest game of any of the smaller teams. Villa Nova's tactics In 1907 were what kept that team off the Yale schedule this fall. Harvard and Dartmouth have played nineteen football games since 1888. Of these Harvard has won. fourteen games, Dartmouth two games, and there have been three tie games. Harvard In all these games has scored 407 points and Dartmouth has scored 66 points. Since 1901, which was the first year Dartmouth ever scored on Harvard, the Crimson has won three games, scoring 71 points; Dartmouth has won two games, scoring 66 points, and there have been 6 to 6 and 0 to 0 tics.

sided. Senator Hemenway and Representative Overstreet officiated at the two other meetings, which were held in the open. THE THEATER Gennett Tonight. Last night the Guy Stock Co. played to a large and well pleased audience despite the bad weather. "The Vendetta" was the offering and the performance was excellent. Tonight a sensational western play, "Deadwood Dick," will be offered. It is a real thriller and one that will please all lovers of the western lh'e. Vaudeville New Phillips. Phillips and Bergen will present their inimitable play, "Mistaken Identity" at the New Phillips next week. This little play is one of the cleverest skits of its sort in the vaudeville circuits, and Phillips and Bergen have found it a most capable vehicle. These actors have made good in both the legitimate field, and on the vaudeville boards, especially the latter, where their talent is given greater scrutiny, and consequently greater approbation. Among other attractions at the house for the week is Corah Carrier, a brilliant entertainer who comes with the plaudits of many thousands. She gives a splendid act, and will prove here her worth as she has elsewhere. The famous Marvin brothers, who as acrobats and equilibrists have circled the globe, will be in Richmond, and will undoubtedly make the friends here that they have made wherever they have shown. Their act Is a very difficult one and Includes the famous teeter dive from hands to feet. Moving pictures and the illustrated song complete the bill. - " H. J.

DIFFEF. Murray and Charlson No Longer Joint Promoters of Wrestling Game. MATCHES TO CONTINUE. By Tort. There has been a splitup between Omer Murray and F. Charlson, who have been promoting the wrestling games at the coliseum this season. Murray states that he has secured the coli&oum to give wrestling bouts at stated periods throughout the winter, and that he will pull off his first about November i. It is the desire of Murray to mix up his wrestling bouts a little with some six-round sparring matches between clever lads in this part of the country, but the mere suggestion of such sport will probably cause the mane of the police department to bristle. Indiana has no state law permitting sparring matches, so far as Prosecutor Jessup has been able to ascertain, and until J such a statute Is located it is quite probable that local fans will have to be i content with wrestling. The Olson-Turk match will be pulled off next week notwithstanding the new arrangements. SAMUEL GOMPERS RIDDLED BY TAFT (Continued From Page One.) era predicted that Marion, county will give a Republican plurality of not less than 7,000 to 10,000. . Senator Hemenway and Congressman Overstreet made short speeches to the crowd at the auditorium before Taft arrived. In his speech Hemenway said something that has attracted! a good deal of attention. He was pleading for the election of a Republican, legislature because the next legislature will elect a United States senator, and the holdover senators will two years from now elect another senator. Hemenway said he was willing to be returned to the senate, and then he added: "And Albert J. Beverldge must be re turned to the senate two years hence. Just what Is to become of Governor Hanly'a boom for the senatorshlp was not told, but with Hemonway pleading for both himself and Beverldge many persons believed they could see where the governor's chances had faded. All the speakers took the position that the election of Bryan- as president would mean a stagnation of business and a sudden stop to the progress of the country. They showed that Bryan has always been a talker and not a doer of things. They showed that hia visionary ideas would, If put Into ef feet, be ruinous. They showed that the Republican party has always been the friend of labor and they pointed to the many beneficent labor laws that have been enacted throughout the country by the Republican party. Altogether the Taft visit to Indian apolis was a success. Every one Is talking about it, and all admit that Its effect will be shown at the polls. James P. Goodrich, chairman of the state Republican committee, was In the city yesterday but went to Chicago for a conference with National Chairman Hitchcock. It is said that at this con ference the national committee will notify Goodrich of the amount of money that it has for Indiana with which to finish the campaign, and Goodrich will probably bring It back with him. But it is said also that sum will not be large. LOCOMOBILE WINS Vanderbilt Cup Race Run To day, George Robertson Leading. 258 MILES IN FOUR HOURS New York, Oct. 24. The Vanderbilt Cup race was won today by George Robertson, driving a locomobile In one most remarkable speed contests on record. He finishes only one minutes and forty-eight seconds ahead of Lytle in an Issota car. The distance covered was 258 miles in four hours and fortyeight and one-fifth seconds. After the second car finished the crowds surged onto the track, and the remainder of the race was declared off. Several minor accidents were the only marring features aside from the light drizzle. Fifty thousand people witnessed the race. COUNTY CORN SHOWJNNOVEMBER Prize Winners to Be Sent to Omaha. J. S. Helms, appointed by Governor Hanly to prepare Wayne county's exhibit at the National Cora Show, which will be held at Omaha, Neb., December 9 to 19, states that the county show will be held In this city November 25, probably at the court house, and the best ears exhibited will be sent to the Omaha show.

MANAGERS

J, L GRIFFITHS

SPEAKS TONIGHT United States Consul General Favorite in Wayne County. BIG CROWD TO GREET HIM. AS HE IS CONSIDERED ONE OF GREATEST ORATORS IN STATE HUNDREDS WILL NO DOUBT ATTEND COLISEUM MEETING. One of the ablest orators of Indiana, John L. Griffiths, will probably ad dress a monster crowd at the coliseum this evening on the issues of the campaign from a republican standpoint. Mr. Griffiths has met with a great re ception wherever he has appeared and the largest crowds that ever attended a political meeting have greeted him at a number of cities. He is recog nized as a polished orator, who does not Indulge In mud throwing, although a master of satire and sarcasm. Mr, Griffiths is United States consul to Liverpool, England, and has acquired extensive fame in the British Isles during his foreign residence. It is expected the building will be found too small to accommodate the crowd, if favorable weather prevails. Mr. Griffiths is an old time favorite with the people of Wayne county. He has spoken here a number of times but never to a email or undemonstrative audience. By his words he holds men spell bound and seldom it Is that his crowds are disturned by persons leaving the hall. Hundreds of country folks who came to the city this morning to see Taft will remain for this evening's meeting. Mr. Griffiths has not forgotten the manner in which this county remained steadfast for his cause to the very end, when he was a candidate for governor and he will endeavor to place before them an argumentative campaign address that will convince them he is still their friend. The vice presidents for the meeting have been selected from all the out townships and each ward of the city. The list is as follows: Reception committee S. S.

CLEVER PLOT TO DEFEAT RATLIFF A Democratic Organization Sends Letters to Business Men of City. BITTER CHARGES MADE. FACSIMILE OF PURPORTED BUSINESS CARD ACCOMPANIE8 LETTER PICTURING LOCAL MAN A SCOUNDREL. A clever plot on the part of the democratic organization to defeat Walter S. Rati LIT, republican candidate for representative, was uncovered today by hundreds of local business men receiving circular letters, mailed at Chicago, picturing Mr. Rati Iff as a boodler and scoundrel and avering that Frank Swain, a well known local republican worker, was employed by Mr. Ratllff during the legislature of 1907 to do his dirty work. The commu nicatloa was signed "Civic League." Secretary George Ballenger, of the Wayne County Civic League, today vigorously denied that the league was responsible for this circular, and his statement will not be doubted, because it would be absurd to presume that the league would take cuch action against Mr. Ratllff two days after it had publicly endorsed his candidacy. A cut, purporting1 to the reproduction of a card written by Mr. Ratllff, la shown. This card reads: "Floyd Woods. "Room 27, Denison Hotel: "Do business with Swain. "W. S. Ratllff." , That the card is a deliberate forgery is shown by the fact that the handwriting is not that of Mr. Ratllff. Mr. Ratllff writes a clear, Spencerlin hand.. The writing on the card Is cramped, and almost unreadable. Below the cut the circular contains, the following laughable information: Voters of Wayne County Take Notics.. This is the "business card of. the Hon. W. S. Ratllff used during the seselon of the legislature of 1907: "Lloyd Woods, Room 27, Denison Hotel: "Do business with Swain. W. S. Rati Iff." To fully understand you must remember: 1. "Room 27." "Denison Hotel, was the room where the state brewers had headquarters during the session of the legislature of 1907. 2. Swain, whom Ratllff says to "do business" with, was the man with Ions whiskers that Ratllff had appointed one of the doorkeepers of the house of representatlvea 3. It seems that when Ratllff was ready to "do business' with the brewers ini "Room 27," he gave Swain his card so that those In "Room- 27" might know Swain was duly authorized to "do business" for the Honorable W. 8. Ratllff. A handsome prize will be given to any voter who can guess what "do business" means. CIVIC LEAGUE. Coons. Jefferson township EH Wlsehart, Walter Simpson, E. M. Hoover, Frank Whitesell.
