Unprecedented Time-Three Miles in

The Prospect Park fair grounds

meeting to q successful close yes.

traordinary trots that ever took
place. They gave a purse for a
dash of three miles with an extra
purse of 81, 900 ifthe 1882 IL time
made by the famous Dutchman,
33 years ago, was beaten. Until
yesterday afternoon, Dutchman's
time has stood at the head of the
trotting record, Notwithstanding
that such turf celebrities as Flora
Temple and Gen. Butler were
each matched to beat it and fail
ed. Flora Temple made the at
tempt on the 9Th of Sept, 1860,
and was 1888 81 in performing
the distance at the first attempt,
and Z :43 1-2 on the second trial.
On the same day Gen. Butler was
also matched to beat the time of
Dutchman, but it took him 7:34
to go the journey. It is said that
Dexter also attempted the feat in
q private trial, but failed. The
glory was left for Huntress, by
Alden Goldsmith's Volunteer, to
eclipse all previous performances
and beat Dutchmam's time eleven
seconds and a quarter. Huntress
trotted the three miles apparently
with ease in seven minutes and
twenty-one seconds and a quarter.
Huntress is fifteen and a half
hands high, of fine proportions, a
beautiful dark bay color, with two
white feet, one on fore and the
other on hind leg. In the three
mile dash three other horses start
ed, but after the race was begun
none of the others were ever near
her. She trotted the first mile in
2:28 "a, the second mile in 1926,
and the third in 2:26 "a, making
a total Of 7:2I IA. She dashed
up the home stretch in the last
mile under strong pull, and did
not seem at all distressed at
the termination of the race.
What added to the wonderful per-
Torrance of Huntress over Dutch
man is the fact that the mare
trotted in harness, while Dutch.

ANDREW WILSON AZ THE
He sweeps the Whsls BIZ i .,

We will be pardoned, if we once
more refer to Andrew Wilson's
success at the late fair. It is not
only that he is a resident of our
county, and for that reason we
glory in his success. Above this is
the fact that he represented the
state of Kansas in the contest
with Missouri. Through him
Kansas won in the contest for the
best cattle, as she won in floral
hall the blue ribbon in the fruit
contest. We can afford to con-
graduate the people of the state
that they have at least one man
who has the courage and ability to
enter the list against q state that
has so long been second only to
Kentucky in raising fine stock.
There was on our fair grounds the
very choicest stock that Missouri
raises. 1t was brought here by
men, who, for years have been
considered the best stock growers
west of the Mississippi river.
This stock has for the last two
years been shown at numerous
fairs and always carried off the
prize. 1t required nerve to even
try to succeed in the face of the
prestige that long success had
given this stock from Missouri.
They had conquered so often that
they did not dream of failure and
laughed at the idea that anything
in Kansas could compete with
them. Yet with as impartial
committee as was ever chosen,
and composed of the best stock
growers in the country, after
contest that lasted for hours, An
drew Wilson took the blue ribbon,
not in one county only, but in
nearly every ring that vas shown.
He had the best, not only in a
single class, but in all classes.
Nor was his success confined to
cattle. He did not compete in
the ring for best horses, but in
the only rings that he did enter,
he took the first prizes in horses
rs well as cattle. Such men are 4 |
great help to any state, and Mr.. |
should, and we doubt not |
will, receive the thanks of every |

GREELEY RETAINS HIS SECESSION

| In 1861, Mr.. Greeley maintain
ed the doctrine of 'letting out

lyear, he said in the Tribune: "Il

the cotton states really wish to
get out Of the Union, I am in ia.
vor Of letting them out" The
words have not been denied, as
being the sentiments of Mr.. Gree.
ley at the time they we're written,
but it has been claimed that he
does not hold the same sentiments
uow. The old man, now seriously
afflicted with the presidential
disease" which he has claimed
kills all who take it, opened his
mouth and spoke at Pittsburg, re-
cently,T The recent elections
have excited his fears, and the
meeting Of veteran soldiers at
Pittsburg, aroused his anger, and
he spoke with freedom. His
speech, however, was a carefully
prepared effort, intended wholly
for political effect. It was au-
thoritative, fresh from the lips Of
the old philosopher, announcing
his policy as a Presidential candi-
date. After reviewing the politi-
cal situation as hs,understands it,
and hefaing the Z methods by
which ne would alter and Improve
the present condition OF. national
affairs, Mr.. Greeley used this
strong. language:
81 demand that there shall be
an opea, free discussion before
the Southern people. If after an
honest, unteErfASa 4n constrained
vO6e, if the people of the south
say they want disuhions I will con-
sent to it"
Lovers of the Union, read these
extraordinary words over again!
Consider well their import. eff
the people of the South say they
want disunion, I will consent to
It," says Mr.. Greeley, the confed-
crate candidate for President of
the United States. Friends of an
unbroken Union, how do you like
the doctrine? Are you willing to
place a man holding such views at
the head OF this Government? In
considering this subject, the Chi
cago Post closes an article thus:
