Icyal Americsji citizen to get along,
without a horse race occasionally.
There is something about racing that
is' stimulating and Invigorating. Men
who do not warm p to any other
class o! sport will throw th-sir bats In
the air when the favorite horse either
wirs or loses. Races conducted on a
high plan are Jl right and recognized
throughout the world. Then. too. th:
fact that La Grande Is becoming quite
a baseball town is of importance when
one considers the future.
It would be a very good plan to ob-A
tain proper grounds for a race cours?
and do it at an early date.

ambition was to become a musician.
The fatter soon became reconciled to
his son's plan of musical cultivation
and sent him to the famous Milan con
servatoire to be educated. - As early
as 18S1, whea only 18 years old, Mas
cagni composed an operetta. His next
ventures wvre an "Ave Maria," and a
"Pater Xoster, whk won for him the
first, prize in the Milan competitions.
But until the first public performance
of the "Cavallerla Rustic-ana." the
world at large knew nothing of the
brilliant young composer. From that
moment, however, . his fame ' spread
throughout the musical world. : The
opera has been performed In Italian,
