Two years ago, when it was proposed by the
Buffalo track to offor purse, open to oil trot-
tiers aud PAGERS, this paper opposed the idea-
Ruffao's object was to get on race between
the ''bIg four" pncers-sleepy Tom, Matte
Hunter, Rowdy Boy, and Lucy-and Rarus. One
trotter pitted against what wore then tho four
fastest PAGERS in the land would have had very
little chance to win, and for this reason Rarus
was not entered. In tho race proposed by Mr..
Ueuals, however, no such objections cxist, as In
this case the odds would be two to one agu!nst
thu PAGER. II tho owners OF Maud S. anu St.
Julien desire to secure special purses for their
horses, the hlppodromo system will have to
be given up. TrottnH associations hnye
found that the sight OF n horse teottiug alone in
e:1a or therehouts will not draw people to the
track. The Chicago Driving Purk has decided
and Col. W. S. King. Of Minneapolis. who hns
always been extremely liberal in bis treatmen-' zen
Of horsc!nen, takes tho same yfeW OF the sub
iect. He would not give $1,000 to either Maud
S. or St. Julien for mi exhibition trot. but for
bonn Rde race between the two he will otter
purse ot $lU,0n
The race proposed By Mr.. Bc.nis would effect.
ually settle. the relative merits Of trotters and
PAGERS. His owner believes Sqrrel Dan TO
be tho superior of any trotter In point
Of speed, and the horse has shown
himself to be thoroughly game. =. With only
for d successful combination against any one of
them and under the conditions proposed in the
challenge each horse would hive every induce
ncut to win That such n race would drnw to
the Chicago track the largest crowd of the sea-
son there Is no doubt.

others, have been worse than useless this
past winter. The children have retro
graded in the paths OF Diufulness and
vice" The school houses are so situated
that some schools have too many pupils
and some only meagre number. A better

Tho farmers have been taking advantage
oil the few days OF mild weather, anC are
getting down 10 solid work preparatory to
blowing and sowing the spring crops.
Much Of the farm work that properly be.

mains to be done, and everybody Is work.

The grass has begun to grow and has

Pasture is much needed by stock after our

II IL yet too early in the season 10 speak
Of the fruit prospects,, but the usual cry
that is generally heard about this time Of
the year Is that the frui. ia all killed.
Our roads arc Ia bad condition at this
time; worse than they have been for many
years, caused by tho snow melting and
settling In the ground.
Most Of the winter wheat Is looking
well.
The many fires that have occurred in
the city lately, will We hope, cause the
farmers to be moro careful, particularly In
the too cannon practice OF smoking in
the barn aud stables. "No smoking" is
posted Ia most factories and ought 10 be
posted 10 every barn and stable. There Ia
not much difference between having q
horse thief around the stable and man
cleaning of the horses with pipe In bis
mouth and there is no hired hand much
meaner than the one who, when his EN-.
ployer comes round, slips bis pipe into
his pocket or holds his hands over II as II
II was little bird. All suCh fellows should
be paid of, and kept of. As for the farmer
himself going into the barn with pipe ID
his mouth, no complaint can be made,
but II his establishment should burn up
no one would cry, unless II should be hill
vile ard children. Lightning, inCendiarles
and spontaneous combustion combined,
do not cause as many barns and stables to
be burntd as the pipe.
