A LIGHTNING TEAM.

The New York correspondent of The
Boston journal says in his letter: 'Trot-
ting horses are 10 New YoIk what race
horses are to London If horse has speed
he will bring any price. The arrival of a
fast team produces an immense excite
ment on the street. The neil who
keep the market in a turmoil are the
men who buy the fast trolters. IL is
not difficult to buy a single team that is
fast. The story that Vanderbilt kept
a standing offer of $4,000 for a first-class
horse is a cdRdrd He could get speed at
any time, if he would pay for it. The old
commodore wants something besides
speed. He wants a fast horse-a horse
kind and quiet-that will drive on slack
nein- one perfectly safe-and at a low fig
ure. But to get a fast team is difficult
matter. 1t is so difficult to match horses in
the spirit and motion and bottom. There
is one team in this city that always
produces sensation on the road; one of
those is the horse Connors, owned by j. F.
Merrill, of Boston. This horse is black as
jet. The other horse is st. James, belong
ing to Rochester. He is mahogany in color.
The two horses are of the same height
about fifteen hands. The recorded time
Of the team is 2:22s. Connor's record is
2:19s. St. James record IS 2:1S. 1t
is said that he has shown the
speed Of PIT. This team was sold last
week, and Budd DOble was the purchaser.
Everybody knew that he did not buy
il for himself. IL turns ont that the real
buyer was California miner; he made an
immense fortune in about ten days by the
r'se of the Ophir mining stock. 1t IS said
on the street that for All hour OF more he
made million minute. . b. price paid
for the team was $4,000. The team left
yesterday for the Pacific coast.

Showing THE BOYS IN wAsHOE
HOW To SHOOT.

Recently, at a saloon on the Divide,
some men were discussing the shooting
afiray which occurred during the morning
| between the two brOtheTs-in-law, Fallman
and Ward. 1t was agreed on all hands
that it was shocking bad shOOting-a dis
| credit 10 WashOe. A. last a Phoebe man
bantered a COmStOek man, whom he knew
TO be a good shot with a pistol, to go out
in The back ward with him and do some
shooting. just to show the ''bOys" how il
should be done. In the saloon was box
of eggs, and what the PiOcher pro-
posed was that each shoot two eggs
off the bare head Of the other at
the distance of ten PAGES, the one missing
TO treat the crowd. The COmstO ker was
bound not to be bluffed by a man from the
other end of the State, so TO the back yard
all hands adjourned. Each man used his
own six-shOOter. The COmstOcker first
''bustedr his egg on the top Of the PiOcher's
head, which exploit was loudly applauded
by all present. 1t was then the PiOcherls
turn to shoot, and an egg was produced to
be placed upon the head of the COmstOcker,
but when he removed his hat there was a
great laugh, for the top of Lis head was as
smooth as a billiard ball. For full ten

done. The Pioeher then tainted the Com
stOcker with having gone into the arrange
meDt knowing that he was safe. The
latter told him to set up his egg and it
was all right-he was there. The PiOcher
went into the saloon, and a moment
after came out with a small handful of
-four, which he dabbed upon the bald head
Of the COmstOcker, and then triumphantly
planted in it his egg, fell back ten steps,
and then knocked il of. The COmstOcker
then told him to set up his second egg and
shoot at il, as he didn't want TO have his
head chalked twice during the game. This
was done, and the wreck Of a second egg
streamed over the ComstOeker's pate. The
Piocher now stood ont with his last egg on
his head. The COmstoeker raised his pis-
tOl and fired. The Piocher bounded a
yard into the air, and the egg bounced
whole from his head. 'I've lost" said the
ComstOcker. ssLet all come and take
drink. By slip I've put half the width of

A Large Crowd Addressed by Mai
Wade, Col Anderson, Gen. QuarIes
Capt DOdd, and Maj. Sykes.
The Democratic appointment at Davis
X Williams store, in Edgefeld, last night,
drew together quite a large crowd. A num-
Der OF speeches were made, and lively in
terest was manifested in the questions dis
CuSsed.
Maj. Joe D. Wade and Col. John H.
Anderson, candidates for the Senate and
House Of Representatives respectively, led
of with brief addresses pledging them
selves TO reform and economy in case of
their election.
Gen. James QuarleS fol owed in a short.
practical speech, urging harmony and CON
Citation. He wanted to know what faith
could be placed in the Republican, who
assisted in, or approved, the impeachment
of Mr.. johnson and now chung to that gen
tleman,s coat-tail with the view Of getting
into Office.
Capt. Thomas L. Dodd made a happy
and effective speech in the interest of the
straight ticket.
Mai. w. J. Sykes, of Memphis, being
present, was called for and responded in a
convincing argument, making free use of
figures and statistics to support his PROPOSE
tions. lie related facts showing that the
Republican party was responsible for the
burdens resting on the country. While
the State did not tax those who had only
one thousand dollars worth of property,
the Federal, or Radical tax reached the
cottages of the poor as well as the mansions
of the rich.
Maj. Sykes then entered into an argu-
ment to prove that certain advocates Of
low taxes and reform. so called, were doing
so only for political elect He received
close attention and evidently carried con
victiOn.

ed TO him in any form that required OF him

occasion it would be andignified for him TO

that no one had ever seriously suggested
the third term to him, and he had. never
even thought of such a thing. Your cor
respondent believes that, though the Pres
ident studiOusly declines to make a public
disclaimer, it is the policy of the Admins
tratiOn to let these remarks Of his in tab
met leak out to the public through the
press, IN the vain hope OF ayerting or miti-
eating the impending smash of the Repub-
licans in the November elections. The
opinion seems to prevail here that no

nunciations win have the slightest effect
in saving the Republican party in these
elections.

the subject. The President, however, said
incidentally in private conversation with
several members of the Cabinet, as he did
to-day 10 friendly visitor, that this agita-
ton was due TO certain newspapers, and
not to anything be ever said or intimated
on the subject.
