BDHER'S DDtECrUM MAKES NEW RECORD
James Butler's Chesnut £stab>-
lishcs Two Worlds Records
and Equals Another
SIRE WORLD'S.CHAMPION FOR YEARS
Mr Bulter Breeder of Some of thc Finest Horses on the Turf, Win¬ ners of Many Prizes
And now long will this breeding and Bpeeding of flne fast horses conilniif? Kipling has answered the qiie.stion in two lines and one sentence:
"As long as hosses are hos.ses, And as long as men are njen." Legislation and u broader, wiser education may iirevent thie unwise and aitiiusl insane gainbling that luo ol- len attends horse riieing. Hut il nev- IT will eradicate the love of the n(jble iidimal from the heart of man. And as long as thi.s exists, tliere will be just such splendid performances iis Mr. Butlci's Directum gave lo un en ihusiastic audience of u few dayK ago. Directuni I., the chestnut staliiuii driven by Ftobert .Snedeker. fiirnl.'.hcd the sensation of the opfnine ilay's imi gram at the (Irand I'irciiii races Ikic by t'Htublishing Iwo new woiM's rec Olds and equaling llie imciiiK record of two niiniiies eslahlished by Williaius at (irand Jtapids )>arly this season.
In winning the fiu'efor-all i)ace, val¬ ue at l.'i.OOO, lJirec«iiii 1. stepped the last two of lliiee heats in two luiiiute.'i Hal, beating I'"rank liogasli, jr., in each. I<'riiak Hogash, Jr., won the lirsl lieal in 2.02V,i. ISy iiacing in two mi miles in tlu; second and third heats Direc¬ tum I. broke the record of 2;W/2 for two consecutive heats, established by Star I'ointer al .Springtield, 111., in J897. The average time of the winner gives him Ihe world's race nconl f(jr more than one heat.
And blood tells in such perfor¬ mances. The sire of this splendid animal, Mr. IJutler informs us, was the world's chahiplon trottei for lour year olds in 189S, a time when tlic ' speed horse was in his glory, lie was that line performer. Directum Kelly, which left the turf with tlie t'roud rec¬ ord of having won every heat he was ever entered in.
And the dam of this wonderful pa¬ cer evidently contributed her share. She was that splendid mare Izeitli, which also left the track with an un¬ broken string of victories.
Men sceek recreation in various ways, as their nature and tastes de¬ mand. Mr. Butler breeds and races such horses as Directum I. for the pure pleasure of seeing a splendid perfor¬
mer in action an smooth as tTie finest engine that e^¦er was turned out of a shoji.
Mr. IJulUr informs the Nassau Po«t 4.')(> different stores, scattered all over the territory adjacent to .New York. Among those in this vicinity is the flne one here, located on Main street, corner of Merrick road. Tliere is also one east in Valley Htream, Uockville Centre and Hempstead.
Mr. uHtler informs the Nassau I'ost that he was very much gratified by the fine preformance of Directum I. but the eevnt only justified the faith h(vreposed in the pacer.

Finally on .\oveniber 11, 19i;! ,the
commlflslon ordered the wooden cars abolished by September 15. 1914. Tli. company answerj-d that the ord»'r was obscure, and asked for another hear¬ ing. The records show the commis¬ sion has now given the comimny until December 1, 1914 to comply.
The company has already signified that it will ask for a further exten¬ sion declaring it has no more money for cars.
