The balance of $35,460.75 was the tax on mutuel machinés and adtiissions for the first sveen days of operation this year. With the attendance at Hialeah Park steadily increasing, the $35,000 payment on admissions and pari-mutuel tax is probably mich léss than one-seyenth of the total amount which will accrue to the state from the winter race miéeting. Such monies received by the state from racing are divided aniong the sixty-seven counties. evenly Sa55666080 LANDLOCKED (The Aged Sailor Speaks) By GEORGE ALLAN ENGLAND ee eeenc L have sailed fat, strange seas, Where the warm surfs wrangle on beaches Of coral white as a leper’s sctuf, And the -plumed palmeéttos sway: I have coasted black-craggy isles And ironbound aretic reaches; Floe and berg and fjord have I seen, And a world and a world beside, All in my roving day. ew I Have battled wild oceans; Hearketied reef, tee and gale; a hi », dAidseil Hétd the pistol to his head.

With Valkyrs galloping over; Drowsed in the basking doldrums; Waked to the mystic, pale And high mirages of Labrador dawns; Beet all the salt seas’ wanderer, The wide world’s lusty lover. I have watched blazing noons On otchid-bright mountains wonder, Flying-fish silvery-skimming Long crests of purple and gold. Memories, Lord! but I love ye, Of sea-hills roaring to thunder! Visiotis of snowW-spun peaks, Of forest and fog and pampae, How I cherish and: hold} of Yet flow I must nod by the fire, Never again to go, Old flesh fails me and old bones; shrink ‘ From such-like passion and pain. Now I must only doze ahd remein- ber Coral and ctag and floe, Brooding fat beaches I'll never sean, Islands PH se no more, Ever; ever again. Tm a gtay. landlocked hull; fiow, Sunk in a stagnant lagoon; | Broken and bilged my keel, My tagged rigging unspanned. Never I'll steer again, But settle and sag, till soon My staring ribs shall etack, And mouldering slowly away, Rot in the sodden sand: Would I had perished in tempest, With cold, pure ocean about me, Caves of the sea my tomb, Dirged by the whelming gale! Better and braver far, - Than moulder where labbets flout me; Better have drowned full-fledged, Than shrivel to wizened age, Bloodless, palsied and pale! Hap, there’s another world, God knows how fair it must be —Stardust and planet and ring— To equal the world I’ve known! What's in Orion, the Pleiades, Plough, f wouldn’t barter, to see Just again Tavoo beach at dawn, With its date-palms golden and green, Dreaming ever alone? Yet now I must crouch by cold em- bets, My long sea-trekking all over; Bid farewell to the Seas of Time, Steer for Eternity. Lord! but I'd give all heaven and hell To be once again a rover, A rover and twenty again. With the salt spray on my lips, Beating to open sea.
