What is the matter with the Tread

July hose races. We hear from good
authority that Capt. James Daniels, of
the famous Mexican hose team, which
has won first mouey for the past three j
years, has decided not to euter a team
this year, but is content to sit back and i
see others win. He says the hose racing
business is too easy for him aud he
wants some of the other teams to get a
chance at the money aud also let them
try and break the Mexican record
made last year, 21 2 5 seconds.
