It is ever the hahft to sustain ♦he pres-
ent-by support of the past. History is used
extict reference to time, placo and
statement to prove somo condition In the
present that is either like or unlike that
porkn!. It has been repeatedly shown that
even m w lit Is impossible to record exact
statement of great ev.-nts urriess tak^
down by a stenographer and tht n mistakes
can occur. The mind, r '.v- vcr, conce.vcs
ail past as a single continuous story just
iw th. h .-4'orian tells It—that is the mind
of the average reader does. History writ-
ing now is more accurate and yet it can-
not be depended upon. How cou'.d it be
different. There Is t >0 much of it. What a
world of detail w .uld accummula e If it
were no* boiled down Into a -• nj.'.e con-
ception of sequence of events.
The attempt at pr- rvlncr historical
data at present, if kept up n i l. some day,
deluge the worM. Dc y will i ■ b > able
to get rid of it.

C. Oliver I.-lin explained matters when
seen after the race. H ■ said:
"The D fendcr mad" the mistake and we
simply followed her to make a race. It
had turn- d out a good one. We are very

made a mistake but It has been the best
