Who Owns the Fastest Trotter !?

y \ reporter has interviewed Mr. Bonner
concerning fast horses, and that gentleman
is far from willing to admit that the world
contains tleeter trotter than one or two to
be found in his stable. There is undoubt
eddy much rivalry between Mr.. Vanderbilt
and the proprietor of the Le1ge,' as to who
shall have the fastest roadster, and had Mr..
Nanderbilt's offer of $4,000 secured st.
Julien, that gentleman would doubtless
feel that he is the owner of pair which no
one would be able to pass on the road. And
since it is generally believed that Maud S.
can equal, if not improve, the time made
by St. Julien at Hartford, he no doubt con-
siders himself the owner of the fastest road
ster i'll the world. Mr.. Bonner belives that
the best time on record will yet be brought
down several seconds, and he is confident
that Rarus can trot III >. 10, and that Edwin
Forrest, with Il record of 2.15it to wagon,
is the greatest wagon horse in the world.
Since Lady Suffolk trotted a mile in 22615,
and Flora Temple in 2.1934, astonishing re-
auctions in time have been made the Off
cial record of horses that have gone below
the time which made Dexter famous being
rs follows:
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1880-09-11

Mr.. Bonner attributes the Improvement
chiefly to toe-weightS smoother tracks, and
lighter vehicles, and confesSes that without
his toe-weights Edwin Forrest would not
be worth $500, and Maud $. would be no
better. He adheres to his purpose to give a
public exhibition of his best horses, although
his refusal to permit them to trot for money
will prevent them from obtaining an official
record. Whether Rarus, Maud s., or st.
Julien is the best horse is Il question which
admits of doubt, and the owners of the first

ter without struggle.

The Republican Meeting at Che y illl

After strenuous efforts on the part 90 those
having charge of the pole raising, i'll Cherry
Hill, on Saturday last, the pole was not
raised. When nearly so, it broke t.,,m its
own weight, and falling, broke again. The
project was for the time abandoned, OWN"
to want of time to make new arrangements
before the Sabbath. But the Republicans
of this section of the county possess indom-
liable pluck, resolution and energy, and are
not To he daunted by Slight, nor even serious
difficulties. on Monday Il new pole was
procured. and Oh Tuesday evening was sue
ceS>tully raised, with the names of Garfield
and Arthur floating one hundred and four
teen feet high.
On Saturday evening, an upcn-air Gar
field meeting was organized ut Cherry Hill,
in front of Red Mems Hail, by DR.. L: G.
Carter, President OF the Club presiding
He announced MessrS. Daniel Arbuckle, ST.,
l.. 7. Roberts, Geo. f. Harlan, |. u. Davis,
James NJ. BeaSton and some eighteen other
gentlemen, us Vice presdents, and z. Thur
low Arbuckle, Jos. T. Burnett and T.. :.
Quigley, ESqS., as Secretaries. The Doctor
made a few happy remarks appropriate to
the OCCASION which were received with loud
applause.
DIR. Il. II. Tuft read Il letter from L. c.
Thackery, Esq, expressing his regret ut his
inability to be present, but reiterating his
devotion to the principles OF the Eepub-
lican party, and exhorting all to stand fast
to those principles, and show their fidelity
by casting Il vote in favor of Garfield and
Arthur, on the 2nd of November next
The President then introduced .Jehu b.
Askew, Esq, of Baltimore, who in II half
hours speech, presented clearly and forchly
the reasons for our faith in RcpublicaniSm.
He was listened to with close attention and
warmly appauded.
Mr.. Askew was then followed by j. w.
Mcintyre, Esq. of Washington, DC, who,
though short in stature, is not short in ar
gument, nor of words in which to clothe his
arguments. He dealt some telling blows at
the vain pretensions of the Democrats in
protesting patriotism-devotion to the
Cnlon-while their secret belief is that the
States Rights doctrine is true. They still
maintain the truth of the ''principles for
which Lee and jackson fought
Henry r. Torbert, ESD, then arose and
was greeted with hearty cheers. He put his
audience in good humor, and kept it so for
an hour, giving the opposition party many
a sly but severe thrust, which was keenly
relished by his hearers, and elected frequent
applause Mr.. Torbert made the speech of
the evening, and sent his hearers to their
homes in good humor with themselves and
with him.

meeting was quite enthusiastic, notwith-
the untoward occurrence of the |
afternoon. for which no blame is attached |
to any one. l..

A Maniac at Cherry Hill.

On Sabbath morning, while the good poo

later in their slumberS, they We're rudely
disturbed by unearthly cries and howlS.
All hastily left their beds and, robing them
selves, rushed out to see the cause of dis
turbance. 1t was found to be Il maniac,
entirely nude, passing up the middle of the
road. Some good Samaritan$, however,
soon overlook him, clothed him. and found
out the cause of his madness. 1t seems
that he had arrived the evening before ut
Chesapeake City, and in one of the many
lesalized dens of that place had drunk the
poison called whisky. The poison made
him crazy, and in this deplorable condition,
from midnight to 6 \. NJ, Le wandered aim

When overhallled, he had not a vcStigc of Il

from him, or thrown off by himself, we

What practical sermon in favor of Local

Death of Mr.. w. w. Colley.

Mr.. William W. Coley, well known and
generally respected as one Of the most oblig-
ing and courteous officers of the p, w. x
b. Railroad Company, died at Mrs. Donald
sons, in the city of Baltimore on Monday
last. Mr.. Colley had been in the employ OF
the company sixteen years, and in his re-
cent capacity as conductor had, by his uni
form consideration for the comfort and con-
venience of passengers, made hosts of per-
sonal friends. Among the officers of the
road, than whom no more generally popu-
lar and obliging corps of officials can be
found in this or any other country, Mr.. Col
ley was equally popular. He was painstak-
ing, courteous, patient, and polite. Never
seemingly too busy to answer amy question
put to him. not curly or laconically either,
but with an attable and genial manner that
indicated an honest and sincere desire TO
make himself what every successful con-
ductor should be, the guardian of the pas
sengers comfort, as well us the protector OF
the company's interests. Mr.. Colley's pleas
ant face and welcome presence will be missed
by the patrons of the road. The company,
however, have ample resources in well
trained men and popular officers, at whose
hands the travelling public receives every
accommodation. Mr.. Colley' remains were
taken to Philadelphia for interment.
