For the past two years the local high school has been successful in winning the cup? presented for the meet and if suc- cessful this year will retain the trophy as its own. The results of the field day, held one week ago today, showed that the students participating were in no way inferior to those who have represented the school in years past. In fact many new records were made and this should be a fair criterion of what will be done next Friday. Lapin, otherwise known as the downy rabbitt, is sponsired for sports coats by several Fifth Avenue leading shops, and this fur is seen in reddish browns, beige and gray.

OSHAWA "mic BEST THAT'S MADE 'IN EVERY GRADE VIVID REALISM IN DEAD MAN'S CURVE cheering thrilling motors, and Thundering crowds, a wreck, a automobile race for fame and tok | tune against heavy odds form the highlights of "Dead Man's Curve", the FBO racing story featuring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., according to the manager of the New Mar- tin theatre, where this classic of the dirt track will open on Thurs- day. : Vernon Keith, racing driver fo Aladdin Motors, finishes third in a race and contends that the mo.or design of the machine is wrong. George Marshall, chief engineer of the company and Vernon's rival for the love of Ethel Hume, daugh- ter of Fergus Hume, president, ac- cuses Vernon of fearing to speed on Dead Man's Curve, a particul- arly dangerous stretch, Hume refuses to buy a new mot- or Vernon has just designed. The latter resigns from Aladdin Mot- ors and attempts to secure a backer for his engine, When Vernon calls on Ethel that evening, she faars he will be injured in the coming race ,and offers to finance his mot- or if he will agree to not drive the car. Vernon believes she has been led to influence him because her father's company fears defeat at his hands, He leaves, angry, with Ethel. A financier named Benton is willing to back his motor, but wants a three-quarter interest. Ethel arranges to finance the en- gine through Benton without Ver- non's knowledge, and he takes steps to prepare the car, unaware that the money is coming from Ethel, When the machine is completed, Marshall sees it in a trial run and realizes his Aladdin will be beaten. A few days before the race Mar- | shall sends his henchman, Dern, to | wreck the new motor. Dern is caught by Goof Goober, Vernon's mechanic, but when Dern offers Goof a thousand dollars if he can return and study the motor, Goof remembers Vernon needs just that amount for his entry fee, and as- sents, The night preceding the race, Dern and Marshall enter the shop and wreck the motor, Dut when they have gone, Vernon and Goof reveal that the real motor has not been in the car, and both proceed to re-install it, Vernon manages to arrive at the track just before the starting gun. A brilliant piece of driving on Dead Man's Curve enables him to win the race, Ethel and her father hurry to Vernon at the finish. Hume offers to buy the niotor, but Vernon tells him Benton owns a large interest in the car. Benton smiles and announces that Ethel is the backer, Vernon takes her in his arms, TONY ACTS BY INSTINCT, SAYS TOM Tony Mix probably enjoys the distinction of being the best-known horse in the world, and if you be- lieve his owner ,the picture star, not only is Tony the world's best- known horse but the smartest. Although insured for $50,000, his picture worth, Tony's real value as fixed by the Government when shipped to Europe last year was $125. It might not be amiss wo add in this connection that it would take consderably more than $125 to buy him from his present owner. hat ~~ Tony's ancestry is shrouded in more or less mystery, although many experienced horsemen believe there is considerable of the 'steel dust" strain in him. Mr. Mix still holds th bill of sale for Tony, given to him by a little fourteen-year- old Italian boy when he purchased the horse about twelve years ago. At that time Tony was a year- ling, and when first seen by Mix was following a vegetable cart drawn by his mother on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood. The pur- chase price was $17.50, and Tony was the Italian name given to the colt by the youthful son of Italy who claimed him. While waiting for a man to ar- rive at his home, Mr. Mix and his ranch foreman, Pat Chrisman, saw the colt following a vegetable ped- dler, The agile way in which it dodged traffic along the thorough- fare told Mix that the young ani- mal would make what cow punch- ers know as a fine '"'cuttin' "* pony. "This colt," Mr. Mix told his foreman, "will one day turn out to be a mighty smart horse, so let's buy him."

BROOMFIELD 37 King Street West Phone 1184 The vegetable man explained his boy Tony had been given the co't at its birth and any negotiations would have to be made with the rightful owner. That night Mix and the foreman visited the vege- table man's home in the outskirts of Hollywood, where the deal was completed and Tony led away to a corral in Mixville, Cal, For two years Tony romped with other horses around the corral and gradually grew from a gangling colt to a good-lookig 14-hands-high cow pony, Mr. Mix broke him to ride with great care, and it might be added that no one save Tom has ever ridden the horse. From the beginning Tony took kindly to pictures and, like his famous mas- ter, delights in "stunts." He has never been taught tricks. In fact, it might surprise screen patrons who have watched him for years to know that Tony cannot do a single trick before an audience, Mr. Mix has carefully refrained from teaching him the usual horse tricks which horses learn by routine and therefore always repeat In that way.
