A " Onderful Stable.
TurE. Field and Farm


The greatest collection of road horses
in the world belongs to Robert Bonner.
There are now in his stable, West Fifty.
fifth street, near Fifth avenue, ten horses,
every one OF which, with single excep-
ton, has trotted in 2:20 or better. The
nine are Edwin Forrest, Dexter, Music,
John Taylor, Stsrtle, Mosley, Malice,
Nav Bird and Maud Macy. The ex-
ception is Mamie B., by Edward Everett,
dam 81: Lawrence Maid, one of pair
driven several years by @, mmodore
Vanderbilt She is diminutive speci-
men of horsehesh, standing but IA /.
Unquestionable she is the attest trotter
in the world of he- size. She has pulled
a wagon mile on a three quarter track
in 1924. and has been timed mile in
harness in 2:21A. She is fairly flying on
the road now, and Mr.. Allie Bonner does
not hesitate to brush with anythiug that
will accept bis challenge, and well he
may, for she has shown a quarter in 80
seconds. She wears q sixteen-ounce shoe.
In addition to the ten 2:20 horses
above named, Mr.. Bonner has at his
farm Pocahontas, who has trotted in
2:17i; Grafton, who showed public
trial at Boston in 2;15a; Wellesley Boy
who has trotted in 2:194; Eric, who has
trotted in 2:2Ol; Manetta, who has been
timed in 1924; Astoria, the sister Of
Dexter, who has gone a mile in 2;233;
Centennial, who has trotted in 2,23a, and
Keene Jim, with four-yearold record
of 2:24y. None of these have been
brought down from the farm, Tor the
reason that there are but ten boxes in
the town stable.
With 30 many star performers to choose
from, Mr.. Bonner can make several fast
teams and, but for reasons of q private
nature that are well understood, be
would have made some public perfor-
mances the past summer and autumn.
He tells US that he has ridden faster
behind Music and Grafton to pole than
he ever rode in his life. This is saying a

Air Freaks in Mines.
Gold Hill News.

Gold Hill News
A representative of the News yester>
terday fell into conversation with Hugh
Lamb, who for nearly seven years has
been foreman OF the Consolidated Vlr-
ginia mine, and from him learned some
queer things in relation to the ventiIa-
tiOn of that mine. He says that about
a gear ago there was period of six weeks
that the air changed from a dOwncast to
an upcast, at tie G. and G. shaft, and
from an upcsst to downcsst at the Con-
sOlidated Virginia shaft. During that
period the heat in the mine became in
tense. A somewhat similar but worse
change has recently been effected, by
which the G. and G.. shaft has an upcast
of air without the corresponding down.
cast at the Consolidated Virginia, except
in the south compartment of the shaft,
which has been chan bered off from the
ther compartments, or boarded up
a. it is called. In consequence of this
change the heat in the mine is intense
He carried thermometer all through
the 1850 level, and not a place was
found below 108 degrees Fahrenheit.
The 1850 level is as hot as the 1,75O-
Lamb is of the opinion, however, that
this will last but few days longer, and
that when the connection is made be.
tween the 1000 level and the 1,940 OF
the California, the air currents will be
restored to their usual and normal con.
dition, and the bonanza mines will be as
they ever have been, the best ventilated
mines of the Comstock. Mr.. Lamb fur
ther says that when the wind shifts from
its accustomed southern quarter into the
north, ventilation is always bad in the
mines, and that we have bad a grea
deal of north wind within the last two
weeks. II is because of the impossibility
of men working on the 1850 and 1850
levels that they have been discharged.
1t was a necessity, both as humanitarian
measure and for the intel ests of the
stockholders of the mine. When better
ventilation is secured they will be re-
turned.
