LEX1NGTON's FAMOUS 7:19 3-4 BEATEN
AT SARATOGA YESTERDAY
By FELLOWCRAFT.
From the New Orleans Times, Aug. 21st. ]

From the New Orleans Times, Aug. 2Ist.l
The year of 1874 will pass into the an
nails of turf history, as a year which has
been prolific OF more remarkable events
on the race course than any of it's prede-
cessOrs.
Early In the season, at Saginaw, Gold
smith Maid cut down her previous won
derful time of 2:163-4 by trOtting annie
in 2:1G. Following this performance,
shortly afterward at Buffalo. she ~electri-
fled the trotting world by cclipsing her
former brilliant effort, and putting up
the unparalleled record of 2:15 1-2. As
If this were not glory enough, she gave
noble response to another call for still
CRATER powers at Rochester, the week
following, and placed 2:14 ga side by
with her 2:15 1-2 and gig!
At Rochester too Lula, an almost hitll-
ertO unknown ~trOtter, scored Il third heat
in 2:16. and at Buffalo Red Cloud, the
famous Western horse, won u race
against a large field, wherein five heats
were trOtted, and they were the fastest
five consecutive heats on record, 2:18
being marked i'll two of them.
AT Saratoga, on Tuesday, Mr.. Bel
mOnts Gray Planet ran Il mile in 1:421-2,
beating the fastest r~ecOrdedmile by one
quarter OF a second, and other notable
turf triumphs embellished the seasons
history, but it was reserved for Thurs
day, at Saratoga, to furnish the crown
lng triumph OF the year, when Fellow
craft, running in the four-mile dash,
against Wanderer and Kate Pease, won
i'll the remarkable and unapprOached
time of 7:19 ia.
That the glory of this great achieve
ment must have awakened a wild enthu-
siasm among the great %concourse ofspcc-
tatOrs who witnesscdit, need hardly be
told. For nineteen years, since Lexing-
ton, at New Orleans, ran his famous
four miles in 7:19 3-4-and which, until
yesterday, was never equaled-every
prominent long distance horse in this
country had put forth his best energies
to match it, but, save the great Idlewild,
moi one Of fhem got within mailing dis
lance, and the best he could do was 1926
IA, which he achieved at Centreville, l..
]. ;sseveral years ago.
The honor for which so many strove
was reserved for FellOwcraft, and from
the ranks of the common herd of runners
he has at once leaped into the very fore
most place-the king of the running turf,
and q horse whose name and whose fame
will remain ~emblazoned upon the history
of American racing as long as that his
shall last. Fell0wcraft is owned by
NJ. A. Littell, and is IA chestnut colt, four
years old, by Australian, dam Aerolite,
by Lexington, so that the great horse
who has come to snatch the laurels from
Lexington is a grandson of Lexington
himself

THE COTTON GRoPs.-From the Tele-
graphic Dispatches we take the follow
ing IN relation 20 the cotton crops of the
current year, fpm which it will be per-
cieved that a hSavy decline is reported:
Washington, sSept. 11.-The Septem-
Der cotton retSrns of the Department
OF Agriculture chow a very heavy de-
cline IN the prospects of the cotton crop
IN all States except Virginia; there it
about holds itssoWn. The cotton crop
of Virginia is tDo small, however, to ex-
erclse any influence on the general re-
suit.
The State average are as follows !:
Virginia, So North Carolina, 81; South
Carolina, Sc; Georgia, n; Florida, II;
Alabama, 81 Mississippi, II; Louisiana,
80; Texas, 81 arkansas, AZ; Tennessee,
48. The leading cause of this decline is
the prevalence, over large sections, of
q severe droutb accompanied byintense
heat.
In many localities hot. winds have
parched the c4s,p, in o two cases de-
~stroying it within a half hour.
Several eOUr ties report no rain for
four or five months,
Inmany casSs the tops of the crops
are entirely destroyed, the hollis having
all fallen,
The middle crops are also badly in
iured in a few localities general rains
have made fling crops, but the number of
these favored spots is very small.
Tn the Atlssntic cotton States cool
nights and heassvy rains arc alleged in
some eountiessas the cause of decline.
The drouth hsss prevented the increase
OF insects. They are reported in view
few counties, ssand have been nowhere
very injurious,

COTTON SEED.-From the earliest pc
Rod of history to the present time it has
been the custom Of the people Of all na-
tiOns to select the best grain for seed.
But alas! how different is this with the
cotton planters, where a large majority
of them hardly think Of seed till they
are nearly ready to plant. Then the
first thing to be done is to call on their
neighbors to see if they cannot procure
some good cotton seed, Orif they cannot
procure good seed they will take any
kind, but if they can get none they must
send to New Orleans or some other place
to get seed, for seed they must have, and
that without delay, andthey get it high
~ recommended though by some one
who knows nothing about it save the
name, which is of some very popular va
riety, and for which the planter is sure to
pay q high price, though ne has no surety
of getting a very good article of seed.
We do not wish to accuse men of dis
honesty who improve and sell good seed;
but on the contrary, we think they de-
serve much credit; bat so many unprin-
cipled men are engaged in all kinds of
business, that it is often very hard. to
tell whether the article we purchase is
the genuine or spurious; besides our
experience is that nearly all the fine cot
ton seeds brought from abroad have
failed to give satisfaction more than
one.or two years, and after that are no
better than our own. This being the
case, we would urge every planter to go
to work and improve his own cotton
seed. All have the material to do it,
and all can do it with very little trouble
by selecting the best bolls from the best
stalks, and planting this seed on good
rich soil, and selecting again the next
year andso on which viii produce a cot
ton that will suit both the soil and
climate.
No plant deteriorates faster than cot
ton, and there is none more susceptible of
improvement by cultivation. Mr.. Dixon
has done much for the improvement of
cotton in Georgia, but that cotton does
not suit our soil and climate, and the
same might be said of many other va
Tieties,

1t was Earl Haldan's daughter,
She walked along the sand;
When she was aware of Il knight so fair.
Came sailing to the land.
His sails were all Of velvet,
His mast of beaten gold,
And Hey, bOnny boat, and h0, bOnny boat!
Who saileth here 50 bOld2"
The locks of five princcsses

But one of all the tale.

He gript Earl Haldan's daughter;
