Boston Boot and Shoe Market.
TUESDAY, Oct. |.


The shipments of Boots and Shoes from this mar.
ket to places outside of New England for the past
week. irrespective of those sent direct from the fac
tories, comprise 66o2 cases. against 20 2S for
the same week last year.
Total shipments since January 1,054.546 cases,
against l04 SOP cases for same period last year.
The shipment of shoes from Lynn for the past
week have been 1869 cases, against 1879 cases for
the same week last year.
The shipments from Haverhill for the week have
been l5ie cases, against 1929 cases for the same
week last year.
One of the best indications that jobbers at the
distributing points have had good trade Is their
temperance in this market for further supplies.
We have noticed on the street the past week repro
sentatives frcm prominent Chicago, Cincinnati and
ST. Louis houses, as well as buyers from the inte-
rior towns and a fair quantity of goods have been
shipped the past week.
The sales of manufacturers are of course in
small lots, as the jobbng trade are determined to
keep their stocks reduced to the lowest possible
points: but there is demand enough to furnish par
tiai employment to the best workmen, and in some
towns where thick work is speciality, business is
fairly active. There is as yet little or no prepare
ton for spring work. and manufacturers
almost wholly at work on orders.

The Running Horse Lancaster.

II has been said that horse should be
judged by his blood, his form, his deeds and
his produce" If this standard be correct, Lex
ngton is one of the greatest horses ever pro-
duced in this country. Geo, Wilkes, in his
paper of the llth inst, in speaking of the
Blood Horses of America, says: "We haz-
ard nothing in saying that Lexington has done
more for the improvement of the racing stock
of America than any other horse, native or
imported of the present or any past period in
our turf history" In an article published in
IIarpers Monthly, July, 1870, on ''the rum
ming turf in America" we find the following
notice of this wonderful horse: Lexington
enjoys worldwide fame. lie was got by Bos
ton, who, during long and memorable ca
reer on the turf, ran fortyfve races, thirty
at four miles, and his dam was Alice Carneal,
by imported Sarpedon; he was foaled March
Il, 1850. In April 1855, he ran four mile
race, against time, over the Meta,cic course
in New Orleans, winning the race in the mar
velous time of seven minutes and nineteen
and three fourth seconds-a something that
no horse had ever done before, and a feat that
no horse has been able to equal since. Lex
ingtons career upon the turf was short, but I'M
surpassed in brliance. His triumphs in the
stud, in addition to his triumphs on the turf,
stamp him as the greatest Of living horses"
He is now rs years old.
| One of his most distinguished sons is
Lancaster-eoaled in lSGS-out of Blue Bon
ner by imported Hedgford, gran-dam Gray
Fannie, by Bertrand, son of Sir Archy. This
horse is now the property of Allen Lambard,
Esq, of this city. He was purchased by Mr..
Lambard and brought to his farm in this city
few years ago for the improvement of his
own large and valuable stud. His success
here has been most marke d and his mare colts
the result of cross between the best running
stock of America and our fine trotting Knox
stock, are already regarded as very valuable.
They will without doubt be of great value to
| the State, and Mr.. Lambard deserves great
credit for the interest he has taken in the
improvement of the horse--in his own State.
Lancaster stands Is hands . l-2 inches high
he is blood bay with black points and white
star in forehead: he has short back and
wide loin, with strong and well proportional
limbs. At Lexington, Kentucky, Sept. l2,
1867, he ran two mile race in the great time
of three minutes thirty five and quarter
| seconds.

A New Way to "Hook" Trout.

We were lately shown a pen drawing rep
resenting a scene in recent adventure in
which number of well known gentlemen
OF this city took active part The party were
on fishing tour to the lakes, and had been
out several days with various degrees of sue
cess 1t so happened that one of their num-
Der was obliged to return home in advance Of
the rest of the party. He took an early start,
getting well away before his companions were
up, and the consequence was they had no
trout for breakfast. They do not accuse him
of stealing; they wouldn't for one instant
harbor such thought; but they had an idea
| that he did not catch all the fish. But the
| picture we were about to notice. This repre-
| sents the quondam companion just departing
from the tent. There lay the unconscious
fishermen about him all wrapt in slumber.
In looking upon their placid countenances,
we could but remark the striking correctness
of delineation, the remarkable resemblance,
and the life-like expressions of the slumber-
ers. The departing friend was drawn with
conspicuous string of trout upon his back,
and was made to say, as he was stealthily
lifting the canvas to depart, CHOW is my
time to start for Augusta. There are ways
of taking trout that some don't know Of" The
injured gentleman feels deeply hurt at the
conduct of his fai,hess companions. He
avows his innocence, and deems their insn-
uations base and unholy, and as tending to
trsduce his good ramc. He condemns the
whole report and the orignators of it, es-
pecially the one who has made himself prom
inent in the Nasty business.

improvements at the state House.

During the past season, Gen. b. f. Harris
State Superintendent of public buildings, has
made some important and radical improve
ments and repairs ON the State House, that
reflect the Generals good taste and Judgment,
and that will be fllly appreciated by those
whom business or pleasure call to the capitol.
Various and long needed repairs have been
made on the Hobbies, halls committee rooms,
ETC., but the most thorough work has been
done on the hall of the House of Representa-
tives. While other parts Of the building have
been 'slicked up" this has been entirely rem
ovated. Old members of the House return
ing, will scarcely recognize the place. In
place of walls of yellowish, tawdry, cheap
looking color, they are painted pretty shade
of light drab, easy to the eye, and pleasant
always to look upon. The rough looking
corner pieces have been replaced by grace
fully shaped corners, done in stucco work by
4 mechanic in this city who knows how to
handle trowel. These, with the ceiling IN
der the dome, are painted white. The blinds,
formerly dark green, are now drab, giving
cheerful appearance. good deal of labor
has been bestowed upon the desks, that have
been scraped, oiled, and grained light ma
hosny color. The old oil cloth carpeting has
been removed from under the seats and one of
better material substituted. BY the new ar
rangement Of numbering, the figures are placed
on the end of the desks, instead of on the
front, to be covered by the sitting member
so that members place can be readily ascer-
tanned. This is surely a decided improve
ment. The south gallery has had a new cell
ing, and all the wood work in the hall has
been painted. In fact everything is in "appe
pie" order for the incoming legislature We
have at another time alluded to the changes
in the library rooms that have had anew cell
ing and been newly painted. All of these
improvements are very creditable to Gen.
Harris, who has shown excellent Judgment in
carrying forward the campaign of renovation.
