Great Races at Quincy. HI.

While all the races promise to be
of great interest, the prominent fca-
lures of the week will be the free for
all trot and the open to all pacing
race.
Rarus and Hopeful, the greatest
trotters in the world will contest for
a 81, 900 purse Thursday, September
llth. Rarus is making magnificent
time this season, having come within
a quarter of second of his unsur-
passed record of 2:l3 IA, in his late
trot at Rochester. Hopeful is now
in fine condition and will push the
champion hard over the fine track at
Singleton Park. This contest alone
will be worth going hundreds ofmiles
to see.
And the wonderful PAGERS, Sleepy
Tom, Matte Hunter, Lucy and Row
dy Boy! What shall be said of these
great horses, whose performance this
season has set the people almost wild
with excitement. They have enter
ed at Quincy and will skim the course
at the lightning speed which is always
shown in the struggles between these
giants among PAGERS on Friday, Sep
tember 18th. The sensation produc-
ed by Blind Toms performance at
Chicago, when he made his unap-
proachable time Of 2:12 ii, may be
inferred from the description of an
eyewitness
"The unfinished pacing race was
the first event Of the day, and was
speedily done by Sleepy Tom, who
seemed more like thing of wings
than an animal on legs, drawing a
50-pound Novelty Sulky. Tom went
away like buzz saw from the start,
and kept buzzing from eend to eend,
while his driver, craneing his neck
far forward, melted the sightless hero
to do his utmost. There is between
this horse and driver the most per-
feet tie of friendship, each seeming 8
part of the other, but more especially
when a race is on the tapis. The
tones of Mr.. Phillips voice to Ton
treasures him wonderfully, and wher
Phillips says ''Furn Toni" the horse
knows that curve is to be made
and he curves his body to match the
! turn in the course. When Phillips
says straight Toni" directly Ton
uncurves his back, strengthens hi'
body, and goes out straight as an ar
row. At length the home stretch i.
reached. Then Phillips calls for ;
final effort by declaring in a most de
cided voice, ''Tom, they are aftel
us!'' Then the blind equine and hi'
tutor, bound together like phsntoms
swim through space like twin shad'
ows. Down past the distance
Down by the select stand. Dowr
between the amphitheatre and the
Judges; between time stand and mu'
sic. Breathless still as a funeral
Chick goes hundred watches. In
stantly great buzzing noise, like the
murmur of an approaching hurricane,
is heard. Louder and louder, in
creasing like the fury of storm, un'
til it burst in one terribly grand de-
Imonstration. AS the crouch of the
panther before he makes his final
bound reveals his power in one des-
perate mate plunge, so the few thous-
ands who witnessed Toms 2:lz I-4,
declared their inborn love for tnls
species of exhibition,

Answers to n Question for
Sleepy MOptaEs,

Question. If eight cats can catch
eight rats in eight minutes, how many
cats will it take to catch 200 rats in
400 minutes?
1nActress' Reply.-Ifeight cats can
catch eight rats in eight minutes, one
cat can catch one rat in eight min
utes, because they are all catching at
the same time, and naturally one
doesn't get any more show than the
others. Therefore, if one cat can
catch one rat in eight minutes, in
400 minutes Tabby could conquer
fifty rats. Now, if one cat can catch
fifty rats in 400 minutes, who, to
catch 200 rats would comfortably oc-
! cupy 400 minutes time of four reas-
enable cats. Please send the chro-
mo to PEARL EYTINGE,
II Union Square.
HO1U they look at 1t IN tie 9Th Ward.
The answer is one-half cat, if you
can find one. Give US something
hard next time. SLEEPY,
Pearl street near Park.
Brains IN Fourth Acenue.-If
eight cats can catch eight rats in
eight minutes, one cat can catch one
rat IN one minute, and 200 cats can
catch POO rats in 200 minutes. If
200 cats catch 200 rats in 200 min
utes, it will take just half as many
cats to catch 200 in 400, because they
have twice tie time; therefore, it
will take 100 cats to catch 200 rats in
400. 1t can also be worked by pro-
portion. S. L. HECHT.
Il Teutonic AnSacer.-In order to
ascertain how many cats it will take
to catch 200 rats in 400 minutes, if
S cats catch rats in minutes, as
certain first how many rats l cat will
catch in I minute. Since s cats
catch s rats in minutes, it follows
that | cat will catch Is part of in
s minutes, and in one minute Is
part OF that, thus: SIS (6 divid
ed by and again divided by 81 !;
the product, Is represents the pro-
portion Of rats caught by one cat in
one minute. Having now ascertain
ed that | cat catches 1-3 of the rats
in minute, the number of rats
caught by l cat in 400 minutes is OBJ
tanned by multiplying 1-8 by 400.
Result, 80. 1t now appears that l
cat catches 30 rats in AGO inmates.
1t will therefore take as many cats
to catch 200 rats in 400 minutes as
is contained in POO. Answer: Four

Kill l cat in l minute, therefore tc
kill 200 cats in 200 minutes it would
