RUMFORD TO USE BIG LIST OF NEWSPAPERS N. In Aiken Territory Returni From 82nd Convention Held tit Rumford, I.

by W. B. Oauthen, local Rumford representative. Typica of the methods of this company is the fact that the field representatives traveled by air both.to am from Rhode Island. Keynote of the merchandising plan for the balance of 1941 is the renewed determination-to use newspaper advertising.

Rumford pioneered, last year, in relying upon this medium, and results as studied at the recent convention foundTxThave decision. Exhaustive figures were analyzed showing American reading habits and reader response, with the result that newspaper lineage was again selected to carry the story of Rumford baking powder to the consuming public. The-list to. be used including the Standard Review comprises 800 A highlight of the convention was the appearance of an eighteenth century coach, once used by George 'Washington, at the Providence airport Sunday morning when the men were about to leave. Out of the coach stepped Count Rumford in perfect, historically correct impersonation.

The contract of the ancient coach and the big air transport spanned the history, of the Rumford name in cooking, for the count was the first and greatest scientist, of cuisine and diet, and his name descended through the. Rumford chair of applied science at Harvard to the modern company and the town of Rumford today.

one of the lest posted horsemen said "Nib. )le Hanover has more great brood mares in his pedigree than any lorse.in the world." The next chapter in his career that he was sold in the New York sale falling to Harry Whitney's bid of $2,000 acting for Dunbar Bostwick and Mr. Bostwick's sister, Mrs. Ogden Phipps of Sfew York, whose present family interests are almost wholly with the thoroughbreds. The colt Nibble Hanover, which by the way acquired the name of Nibble Hanover from the fact that little Miss Sheppard, youngest daughter of Lawrence B.

Sheppard when taken out to the pasture fence to-see the colts frisking with their mothers! would put her- little hand through the fence, and the colt would' nibble at it, leading her to remark that "he nibbles." And Harry Whitney is authority for the statement that today he likes to have any one hold his tongue, standing quietly as long as his tongue was held by his visitor, Whitney slyly remarking that Nibble should teach some of the ladies his trick of having his tongue held. Recalling the colt's early development, Harry said that" the was pretty much of a' rogue, not exactly a rogue, but just a good feeler, that he would g-o all the gaits in the catalogue, that his joint owner, Dunbar Bostwick was ready to discard him, so badly did he mix his gait etc. But Whitney who has grown into one of our leading trainers, not alone of colts, but aged horses as well having four stallions in his race stable at the present time records- or fasterj including the trotters 3, Bravo 2:00 Nibble Hanover and the pacer Brook- an unusual record to say the persisted. Whitney's first conclusion, that Nibble would learn to trot came when he waa breaking him, the colt being hitch-' ed to a two. seater cart, with Har.

In recalling the race- Whitney said, "had -Nibble Hanover been in condition to take work that would tighten him up, after the Indianapolis race and in preparation for the Kentucky Futurity, I firmly believe that he could have trotted in 2:00," which in the light of later events does not seem an extravagant claim. Through a mistaken idea in treatment as a three-year-old Nibble Hanover developed a poisoned condition that kept him from racing as a three-year-old causing him to miss the Hambletonian Stake for which he had been a winter favorite. In 1040 as a four- year.old he trotted some brilliant races, reducing his record to as well as trotting the Roosevelt Raceway, Old L.

half-mile oval in a handicap event. The Whitney-iBostwick stable's usual policy of wintering at Aiken, S. was pursued in 194041. Mr. Bostwick being one of the ownes of the mile track.

For once Nibble passed the winter without misfortune training this spring, finishing off his work over the Goshen Good Time Park mile track with a glib mile in 2:05, last half in 1:01. Monday, July 21, the five-year- old Calumet Chuck horse gave warning to owners and drivers of "the leading members of the fast brigade by taking his eighty feet handicap in' a 15-16 mile event at Old Orchard, and fairly running away with dash of of a mile in official time of but giving him credit for that eight ty feet handicap, of" approximately two seconds Nibble Hanover Cotton tire fabrics produced in Ui' S. cotton mills in the last 20 terms of to the equivalent of over six million SOO-ponnd bales of cotton, Census Bureau statistics I ry 1 caretaker in the cart, the colt fooling along when he spied a colored family Hying near the half-way pole in a humble shack, and away went the colt, -tail over show.

He) won by more than a length from Spud Hanover who had passed Spencer Scott, not as yet ready for a record breaking race, in which at least four horses trotted in 2:00 or remarkable part of the heat aside from its lowering the pace record for trotting stallions held by Protector and McLin Hanover, was the not exactly easy but the fact that driver Whitney did nothing more than stimulate his horse through last sixteenth of the jnile, not taking a drive out of him at all. As stated at least four of the trotted in 2:00 or bet- er none of them coming in for more praise than Spud Hanover 2:03 from, the Arden Homestead stable. Then to further show his superiority over his field trotted the second heat in 1:59, establishing a new two heat average time for trottters. In speaking oi the race Fred Egan driver ol Spencer Scott said in a very magnanimous manner, "I don think there was ever a horse bha lived- that could have defeated Nibble Hanover that day." As noted above he is 'in the four arid events yet to come, no plans for an assault on father time with a view of getting the stallion record now held by Lee Axworthy being at present consider ed.

Nibble Hanover is scant 15.2 built'on pony lines.round turned rather stout and Whitney says i the greatest in the world and he looks the part as now in the peak of form he is round, no a rib showing, or can really be felt. To most observers his gait i the source of his championship speed, he can trot as easy, if no more easy than any horse tha ever beat 2:30, a 2:00 gait ap parently being done with effort He wears a 3'V toe, 6 oz. open shoe and 2 oz. toe weights, and a four ounce bar shoe behind, with simple boot protection and rig ging.as any horse seen.in years.
