...indigenous U. S. pastime, harness racing to sulkies began about 100 years ago. By breeding thoroughbreds, which lacked stamina for long distances in harness, with a strain of small but tough Canadian mares, the U. S. trotting horse was gradually evolved until it neared perfection with Hambletonian X, foaled at Chester, near Goshen, in 1849. In 1873. a group of Eastern sportsmen organized the Grand Circuit, which became to trotting what the major leagues are to baseball. The Grand Circuit, a series of meetings on mile tracks, last year included eight cities, this year nine (Toledo, Cleveland, Toronto, Salem...
...sight that might make any monarch quail last week faced Denmark's tall, saturnine King Christian X. The great, eight-sided courtyard of Amalienborg Palace was jam-packed with strapping, irate Danish farmers in the grip of a grievance. The King, as he peered from his palace, noted on some brawny arms the swastika band of the Danish Nazis, on others the hammer & sickle of Communism (see p. 18).

If he finds and cures such conditions, the acne usually disappears. If not, he resorts to x-rays; and with women, if nothing else works, to female sex hormones...
Joyous Mr. Astor decided to buy an 80-ft. yacht and to call his firstborn, if a male, ''plain William." Joyous Count Haugwitz was felicitated at Karlsbad by a royal wire from his Danish sovereign King Christian X. Anticipating an event far more momentous and expensive than those that overjoyed the U. S. and Danish husbands, joyous Emperor Hirohito set in motion the ponderous, costly mechanism of a Japanese imperial birth. Soon carpenters will whack together in the Fountain Garden the elaborate Maternity Pavilion which has to be built of spotless new materials every time the lean, bespectacled...
