Tho LamellatCl GloSter.


While tho horses wore trotting at
the track >esterday, little group Of
horsemen on the grand stand were
discussing tho merits Of the noted
horse uloster, who died in California.
Gloster's old driver was in tho con-
pnny, and he evinced much feeling
when referring to the lamented
trotter. He said Mr.. Goldsmith. +.
GIostor's first owner, had the aoimals
tail, hanging up in his sitting room
and that Budd Doble had egg cups
and an iukstand mado out of his
hoofs, and uses them daily, and
another great admirer Of the animal
had q pair Of boots, q pair of shoes,
and two pairs Of slippers mado out of
his hide. Mr.. Sargent, who drove
Gloster, told how the horse beat
Goldsmith Maid at Chicago In
private, and how he was kept back
in all the raoos 80 that the Maid
should not be beaten in public.
There is no doubt whatever that if
he had lived he would have trotted a
mile this season in 2:l3. All agreed
that he would have been tho fastest
horse in tho world.

Daring Robbery in Brooklyn.

A bold robbery of moro than
$4,000 worth of diamond jcwolry
from the safe of Kline Il Co., fourth
street Brooklyn, N. Y, was success
fully accomplished on Thursday.
Mr. Kline, who is an eldorly man,
was alone in the store about 10 A.
NJ, whom stout, middle.aged
str lnger, wearing dark clothes,
entered and asked him to put a
crystal in his silver watch. Mr..
Kline put on his speotaoles and began
to search for suitable crystal, in tho
front part of the store. The stranger
then began noisily walking up and
down the floor, sign for confede-
rate in an adjoining hallway to enter
through on unlocked door, a rear
room where the open safe stood. A
moment later the stranger began to
cough in curious way, aud Mr..
Kline, who had thought his actions
very peculiar, asked him what was
the matter. The stranger replied
that he was suffering FROM a bad
attack of catarrE, aud then he went
away hurriedly, saying that he
thought he would leave his watch and
caIl for it on the way home in tho
evening. In moment Mr.. Kline,
whose auspicions had been aroused
inspected his safe, and discovered
that it had boen robbed of diamond
jewclry, most of which had bocn
entrusted to the firm for safe keeping
to the value of $5,325. The thieves
made good THAR escape. A servant
girl subsequently recognized tho
pictures Of two we'll known thieves in
the rogues' gallery as those Of the
men whom she had soen oming from
tho house.
