st. Jullon's Wonderful performances.

WHEN horses trot as fast as st. Julien
or Maud s., they need to be up to con-
cert pitch TO do their level best, and
when in the slightest degree off, their
supreme efforts are impossible. In view
of the fact that st. Julien has been suf-
fering with the epidemic for several
weeks, his recent trials, especially his
2:l2 3-4 at Prospect Park, are very note
worthy and creditable. Before he made
that effort, those who visited him in his
stall, and saw the epizootic fluid fairly
streaming from his nostrils, did not ex-
pect from him a mile better than 2 10,
and his driver coineided in that view.
He would not run the risk of urging so
sick horse, and yet he trotted in 2:12
81, absolutely on his courage 1t was
a tremendous performance. Since he
left California he has travelled over TO-
900 miles in railroad cars, has under
gone numerous changes of climate, vet
never has he failed to give a fine exhi-
bition of speed, and never has he made
break. A brief summary of his brilli-
ant compaign viii be interesting: June

2:17 IA; June "a, against time, at
IOnia, Mich, best time 2:19 1-2; July
8, against time, at Detroit, best time,
2 :16 IA; July %, at Chicago, free for
all, best time 2 :16 1-2; July 20, at Cleve-

Sept 25, at Boston, against time, 2:131-2
Oct. 8, at Washington; against time, 2:13
IA; Oct. Is, at Prospect Park, against
time, 2:12 "a. This far surpasses any
trotting campaign ever made by anotner
horse, and speaks no less for the aston
ishing speed of st. Julien, than for his
splendid constitution and indomitable
courage, The Clay blood does not seem
to make him quit. He will soon be
shipped to California, and in that genial
cline may astonish the trotting commu-
nifty again before the year Closes

A Great Innkeeper.

THE Milford Pa) correspondent of
the New York Sun writes The door
opening from the piazza of the Sawkill
House into the reading-room of the ho-
tel is nearly twice as wide as ordinary
doors. This may be said, in fact, of
several of the doors of this celebrated
Milford inn. The unusual width of thes,
passageways was made necessary be-
cause former landlordw was unable to
pass through a common-sized one.
Lewis Cornelius conducted the Sawkill
House for many years. At the time of
his death, in 1841, he was undoubtedly
the largest man in the country. He had
always refused to be weighed while liv-
ing. The following entry was made in
one of the record books of the County
Clerks office in 1841, it being certified
statement of Mr.. Cornelius's dimensions
and weight, which were taken immedi-
ately after he died;

Scores ofpeople are yet living in Pike
County who remember Lewis Cornelius
we'll. They say that his illness must
have reduced his weight at least fifty
pounds. His hotel was faYOrite stop
ping place, and had great reputation
years before it became popular retreat
for city people.
When Lewis Cornelius died the man
agement of the house passed into the
hands Of his three sons, John, James
and William, James was a spare man.
John and William were fieshy. The
latter died a few years since. He
weighed about 600 pounds. james is

sole proprietor of the hotel now. He is
over six feet high, and win weigh $50
pounds. He has been Sheriff Of Pike
County five times. Besides the Corne-
illus brothers. there were four sisters.
William Cornelius was the only one OF
the family who ever married. He was
a son.in-law of the late Judge Rodney
S. Church, of Brooklyn. One of the
sisters died a number Of years ago. Her
