A Program of Unusual Merit Now in
Progress
Dovers of racing are enjoying a
series of fine races at Oklahoma City,
where the second annual meeting ol
the Oklahoma City Jockey Club, from
June 15th to July 4th, Is in progress.
Two of the big features this year are
the Oklahoma City Derby, conducted
June 15th, and the Independence
Handicap, scheduled to take place
July 4th. Both events are stakes for
$1,000 each. There were twenty-three
entries for the Derby and thirty-four
entries for the Handicap.
With the first highly successful
race meeting of last year, where more
than four hundred thoroughbreds par-
ticipated, Oklahoma City won a high
place in racing circles of the south-
west. The present meet in every par-
ticular excels the program of last
year and has an increased attend-
ance.
The Jockey Club spared neither
time nor expense in the selection of
competent racing officials and as a
result secured men of recognized abil-
ity and high standing in the profes-
son. They are: Milton Young, Lex-
ington, Ky., Judge; Arthur McKnight,
! Kansas City, Mo., Starter, and Ed-
ward Jasper, Louisville, Ky., Clerk. t
The program consists of six races
each day, excepting Sundays, begin-
ning at 3 o’clock, p. m„ at the State
Fair Grounds. The fine transporta-
j lion facilities of a double track elec-
tric car line, steam railway service
and asphalt boulevard will greatly
facilitate the handling of the crowds.
| Recent improvements to the grand
stand will also add much to bodily
comfort. All races will positively be
run regardless of the weather, while
the crowds can be assured of com-
fortable shelter under any circum-
I stances.

The Rude Visitor.
There Is a story about the secretary
of a golf club who was a man of di-
minutive stature. It was summer time,
and the grass had been allowed to
grow rather long. The secretary was
playing in front of a visitor who was
a very long driver, and kept dropping
his hall in the neighborhood of the
secretary all the way round. At last
the little man could stand it no longer
and walked back and remonstrated
with the visitor on his conduct, but
the only reply he got was, “If you
would cut the grass, one might be
able to see you.”

About the New Books
Their Authors.
A list of the six best selling books
from any literary center these days
would include "The Carleton Case,”
“The Girl From His Town” and “The
Man Higher Up,” which are Bobhs-
Merrill’s latest offerings, and “A Vil-
lage of Vagabonds,” Judge Lindsey’s
remarkable account of the founding
of his Children’s Court, in his book,
"The Beast,” and the very interesting
and extraordinary publication "From
the Bottom Up,” the last three publi-
cations from the well known house of
Doubleday, Page & Co.
The first four of these works are
I all fiction of the most charming kind,
the sort that will enable many peo-
I pie to wrhile away pleasantly the hot
afternoons and evenings that are ap-
| proaching, while the last two are in
i more serious vein but none the less
i interesting.
“The Carleton Case” is a story emi-
| nently human and readable. Its air
of today, of every day, brings it close
| to the reader’s own experience. Its
men and women are unusually alive,
j You can see them walking about, can
■ hear them talk. The primitive emo-
j tions of life are brought closely home
! to you. Interest never lags.
A certain little fishing village on
[ the coast of Normandy, sleeping in
obscurity, is the “Village of Vaga-
bonds” wh’ch Mr. F. Berkeley Smith
has taken as the scene of his latest
book. Mr. Smith knows intimately
both the quaint village and its “vaga-
bond” inhabitants, for the little “get
off-the-track train” has brought him
many times to his own farm near this
forgotten cluster of huts. Here he
grows American corn, holds open
bouse to the villagers, and goes on
duck shooting expeditions. It is ap-
parent to everyone that much of the
book is reality. Suzette, the "rosy-
cheeked girl in sabots” who sang all

“I have been at the top of Pike’s
Peak, which is more than 14,000 feet
above sea level. What was the great-
est height you ever reached?”
“I don’t know just what the altitude
was, but it must have been much
greater than that which you mention.
I made the ascent shortly after I had
stepped with my bare feet on a bum-
ble bees’ nest.”
