THE FAST "MAUD So
From the Turf, Field and Farm.

Maud S. is highly bred mare, and
wants to be humored. Her heart is won
by kindness. She will not stand harsh
treatment, will not prove obedient under
such rough usage Both Bair and his
wife made much Of Maud S. They petted
her and treated her to apples and Jumps
Of sugar The result is that she win
eagerly respond to their call. When jog
ging on the track at Chester Park, the
presence of Mrs Bair near the raj. |. at any
time would cause Maud to turn in that
direction. All last winter the mare ran
in a roomy box. In April she was put
in front OF break cart, and Mr.. Bair
drove her about the streets Of Clifton and
Cincinnati, and thus got her accustomed
to the noise and bustle of the toiling world
He also harnessed her double and taught
her to drive on either side She always
behaved well TO the pole. She does not
like blinds to her bride, but she will trot
with any kind Of bit in her mouth All
she asks is that the driver shall not pull
on the bit. She stands 1929 forward,
and is plump sixteen hands behind. Her
weight is $50 pounds In her races this
year she has been driven to a fifty
pound sulky, but Bair is having made for
her a sulky weighing torty-fve pounds
She wears a fifteen and a half ounce shoe
forward and q nine ounce shoe behind.
She also carries four ounce toe weights
For two weeks after her arrival at the
Queen City she will be turned at 5 every
evening into q six-acre grass lot, and be
allowed to run until 9 o'clock. This will
keep her hair from fading under the sun $
rays, and it will cool her out thoroughly.
After two weeks run at grass she will be
led every day for two weeks behind a
break cart so padded that she cannot
hurt herself She will then be in condi-
tion to order at short notice for fast
mile, should Mr.. Vanderbilt desire to see
one on his return. Bair says he had
hoped to give her a record Of 2:093l be-
fore the close Of the season. At Roches-
ter she trotted solely on her courage.
He thinks she can go to the half-mile
pole III 1903.

HOW NOT TO BE DROWNED.

The human body weighs about pound
in the water, and single hair will carry
two grown persons. That is it would
keep their heads above water, which is
all that is necessary when it is question
of life and death. At the time the recent
steamboat disaster took place in New
York harbor the burning vessel was close
to shore, the water was calm and warm,
and all these passengers might have
jumped overheard and padded laughing
ashore if they had only possessed and
used the simple knowledge that one fng-
er placed upon a stool or chair, or small
box, or piece of board would easily keep
the head above water while the two feet
and other hand might be used as paddles
to propel towards the shore. It is not at
all necessary to know how to swim to be
able to keep from drowning in this way.
A little experience of the buoyant power
of water, and little faith in it, is all that
is requird. We have seen a small boy
that coull not swim stroke propel HIM
self back and forth across deep and wide
pond by means of board that would not
sustain five pounds weight. In fact, this
same small boy is now writing this.
Children and others should have practice
in the sustaining power ofwater. In nine
cases out of ten the knowledge that what
will sustain pound weight is all that is
necessary to keep ones head above water
will serve better in emergencies than
the greatest expertness as a swimmer. A
person unfamiliar with the buoyant pow
er of w.ter will naturally try to climb on
top of ;he floating object on which he
tries to save himself. fit is large enough,
that is all right; but it is generally not,
and haf of struggling group is often
drown,d in the desperate scramble of
life and death struggle to climb on top of
a piee wreck or other floating object,
not lage enough to keep them all en-
tirely above water. This often happens
when pleasure boats capsize. All imme-
diatelf want to get cut of the water on
top ofthe overturned OR half.flled boat,
and al are drowned except those whom

NEW YORK STATE.

An Albany letter in The New York
Tribune reports an interview with Gov
ernor Cornell as follows;
Judging from my own observation
and the information which reaches me
from various sources, there can be no
question of the success of the Republican
party. It is the general belief of both
Republicans and Democrats that New
York will decide the result of the election.
IF this shall prove true the Republicans
need have no apprehension. New York
will unquestionably choose the Republi-
can Electors The evidences of success
are apparent on everv side. Never since
1872 has there been so promising a can
vass in this State for the Republican party.
In the first place our candidates will re-
ceive tho votes of all Republicans. This
of itself would carry the State; but we
are to have large vote in addition to
our party vote The non-partisan vote,
which in 1876 was cast for Mr.. Tilden
because it wanted change, will this
year vote the Republican ticket, because
it does not want change This vote
will count at least 10000, and in chang
ing from one side to the other will make
a difference of $4,000 in the result"
In explanation of what he meant by
the non-partisan vote, the Governor said
he included merchants, bankers and busi-
ness men Of all kinds" The manufact-
urers," he said, care especially active and
jealous among their employees believing
that a continuance of Republican policy
is essential to their continued prosperity.
Not more than rs per cent. of the voters
are distinctively party men and continue
either Republicans or Democrats year
after year. The other % per cent. are
essentially non-partisan, and to a greater
or less degree shift from one side to the
other as circumstances dictate. The
wonderful prosperity of the country at the
present time will contribute largely to a
Republican success this year. We have
the return of the tide which so nearly
elected Mr.. Tilden in 1876"
After some further conversation as to
the details of New York politics, in reply
to my inquiry what States he would con
cede to the Democrats, the Governor said:
"None but the old slave States. Our
friends are hopefully contesting every one
of the free States. At the recent election
Oregon was carried by the Republicans,
and in Indiana we are making a promis-
ing canvass for State officers. If we
should carry Indiana it would give us
every free State. This would ms e near
ly 100 majority in the Electoral College,
and would instantly end all questions as
to the presidential succession"
After a moments S reflection the Govern
