Blue Bulls are natuT al born trotters. They
take to the trotting gait as naturally, or in
stinctively, as q dack does to water, and IL is
safe TO say that not one of them was ever
fOaled that could not, by reasonable train
ing, trot q mile in three minutes, or better
They are proverbially "level-headed," al
ways ready and willing TO do to tho extent OF
their ability, and when in condition were

matter how long the route.
TERMS-$20 TO insure; parting with the
mare positively forfeits the insurance, and
the money is then due. All accidents and
escapes at the owners risk.

~ Continues.
Further Arrests Made and Others
Threatened.


London, Oct. 15.-The Times says:
Gladstone can afford to disregard the
taunt which is certain to be flung at
him, that Parnell's arrest was due to
his offensive personalities. In this
new ruling of the law there is no fear
the cabinet will not receive hearty and
nnwavering support from every party.
The approval in the three kingdoms of
the arrest is only denied here and there
by few associations which habitually
mistake lisense for liberty.
The United ireland, the organ of the
land league, publishes an article, headed
''Parnell Arrested which states that
Saxon cowardice has done its worst.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of
Herley.
There is great activity among the
Irish organizations In London, and cir
culars are distributed urging the or
ganization of meetings.

ment, and VIM. O'Brien. editor of the

O'Connor, member of parliament, has
not yet been arrested. although Super
intendednt Mallon has a warrant
against him. 1t is supposed he has es-
capped from the country.

telegraphed the following message from
this city this morning to w. E. Forster,
chief secretary Of Ireland: ST charge
that conspiracy exists among the sold
iers now stationed in Limerick, to fire

charge that this has been known to your
