His dam was got by Gen. Sheri-

horse. of Canton, st. Lawrence county, he
by A. NJ. Harris Mambrino, son of Mann
brino Chief. The dam of Gen. Sheridan
by Abdallah. l give this pedigree as it
was told to me, but the statements as to
his speed and training have been fully ver-
ified. He was not broken until March last.
and was only five weeks in training pre-
vious to mis- first race, which was on the
mile track at Watertown, n. Y, on June
%. He won the race, a four-year-old colt
purse, in straight heats. In the first heat
he went to the quarter pole in ~ seconds,
the second quarter in 3412 seconds, and
the third in 81 seconds, thus making the
middle half in 1:001l; having the other
colts far more than distance ont, he was
pulled to walk until they drew up, and
logged in with them in 2:411a. In the sec
ond heat he trotted the second quarter in
SO seconds, and the third in 81 seconds.
He had been roaded sixty miles to Water
town two days before the race; was brought
back to Oswego the same way, and then
turned out TO grass at L. G. Thompson's
(his trainer's) farm, where he is now en-
jOying a seasons rest. Mr.. Cook refused
an offer of $500 for half interest in
him, as ne intends to develop his speed.
Lon Cooper, the local horse authority says:
Il will bet my whole livery stable that
Jack Feek can show 2:20 with the colt in
side of thirty days after he begins to get
in shape"

New interest has been added 10 tie
double-team rivalry by the performance Of
". Il. VanderbilPs new pair, Early Rose
and Aldine, at Charter Oak park, Wednes-
day last. It will be remembered that the
latter horse was bought during the grand
circuit meeting at Hartford, by Mr.. Shep-
herd, of Boston, and by him rescld to Mr.
Vanderbilt within twenty-four hours for
$4,000. Mr.. Vanderbilt's purpose in the
purchase was to secure pair which could
beat the time made by Mr.. Frank Works
team. Edward and Dick Swiveller, at
Fleetwood-2:164. Iu the trial the
pair was driven by William Bair.
former driver OF Maud S., who has been
working them together since the purchase
of Aldine. For the effort the track was
freshly brushed and put in perfect con-
dition, while the weather was perfect.
Bair first sent the team a slow mile to
warm up, and coming Up in good shape
Bair nodded for the word, the mile
being trotted without skip by either in
o:l612, as made by several experienced
timers, beating Edward and Swiveller's
time a quarter of a second. While the
performance seems to be genuine, so far
as the making of the time announced. it
differs from the performance of Mr.. Works
team, from the fact that the 2:164 by this
team was made on a wagon, and consti-
tutes a bonafde record. In estimating
The two performances it should also be
borne in mind that the Fleetwood track.
over which Edward and Swiveller trotted is
slower track than the Charter Oak
track by about two seconds. 1t is an
nounced by telegraph from New York, that
Mr.. Work is not satisfied that Mr.. Wander
bilts team made the time claimed for it.
and that he is willing to test the SUPERIOR
ty Of the two teams, to match Edward and
Swiveler against Early Rose and Aldine to
any amount. In view of the prominence
given the alleged performance at Hartford,
MIR. Vanderbilt cannot very well
decline to accept one or the
other of Mr.. Works DrODositions

The Hind Up at Hastings.

The fair at Hastings last week was sue
cess in every particular. The stock ex-
hlbit was especially fine, the racing was
good, Judging prompt and fair, the at
tendance large, weather perfect and the
management worthy the honorable gen
tlenen forming the association. The only
disappointment occurred Saturday, the ex-
ira day, when in the five mile equestrienne
match between the sisters Barbara and
Laura Left. Miss Barbara tainted and fell
from her horse on the first half mile, put
ting an end to the race. In the fall the
lady sustained q slight cut over the right
temple, but her injuries were in no way
serious. But it has cured the management
from the incorporation into their pro-
gramme Of any such circus side show at
fractions in the future. The run
ming race, mile and repeat, between the b.
m. Centennial Maid, b. G. Jim, and ch. g.
Mic Baker, was won within two straight
heats by the Maid, Jim second. Time 1 80;
200. The finishing event wus pony race,
quarter of mile and repeat, with Molly,
Kitty Wells and Snow Flake, all local sad
die ponies, as starters. The race was won
in two straight heats by Molly in the re-
markably good time of 26 and 264

Making a Passenger "Git."
Detroit Free Press. |

A justice of the peace in the interior
of Michigan had case before him some
days ago in which the defendant, who
had been arrested as suspicious char
acter, and plead guilty to vagrancy. was
sent to the Detroit house of correction
for six months. A constable took him
IN charge to deliver here, andas the man
seemed rather pleased at the idea OF
securing board and lodgings for six
months he was not handcuffed. AS the
tram was about ready to go the con-
stable moved across the aisle to talk
politics with a friend, and pretty soon
they were having it hot and heavy.
When the conductor came in for tickets
he held out his hand to the prisoner, and
the latter shook his head and replied:
81 don't pay fare
"Ahal You doa't, eh?" Well. now, you
pay or get!"
4 won't payr'
''Then you'll get! When we slow up
at the crossing you jump off. If find
you on the train after we pass there I'n
give you bounce that you won't fer
get!"
In two minutes the train began to slow,
and the prisoner walked to the door and
picked a soft spot and dropped off.
When the train had made another mile
the conductor held out his hand to the
constable and received two tickets.
"Who is the extra one for?" he asked.
''For that prisoner over there"
"What prisoner"
why, that fel-!"
Then there was raving and gnashing
Of teeth and hurrying up and down, but
1t was no use.
Sorry" said the conductor as he
passed along, 'fbut when a passenger
says he won't pay fare on my train I
give him the drop. The only thing that
surprised me was to see how willingly
he obeyed ORDERS"

The outlook for the fair September 90
81 and 90 is more than
promising, and it will undoubtedly exceed
all other fairs of this society. They have
secured exhibits from Geneva Lake, Wis.
Rochester, Mimi, and other points. G. A.
DeGraif, OF. the Lake Elysian Stock farm
has sent a fine display. The fine blooded
stock owned in the center and east end of
the county will all be on hand ard nothing
will be left undone to make it one Of the
fairs long to be remembered.
The programme for the races is as fol
lows:
Thursday, Sept. 21-Green race foI
horses owned in Dakota, Washington
Goodhue and Rice counties, Minn. 2:37
class for horses owned in the st ate.
Friday, Sept. %. Running race. Free
for all, trotting. Five mile ladies' race
and bicycle race. The prizes for the lat
ter have been purchased at Myers q Finch's
and were shipped Saturday evening by ex-
press. They consist Of an elegant
silver swinging water pitcher and
cup, one of the most costly
silver cake baskets, and perfect gem
of fruit stand, all of the very latest de-
signs and patterns and the winner of either
one OF the prizes will long remember the
Pennington fair. As this is the Oldest
county society in the state we look for an
unusual fine display. Parties can leave
st. Paul at a. m, and reach Pennington

Next to the Minnesota state fair and the
exposition at Minneapolis, the largest and
best exhibit of the products Of the golden
northwest, and racing meeting combined,
will be that given at Fargo the present
week, under the auspices of the Fargo Ag-
ricultural and Driving Park association.
Ten thousand dollars is to be awarded in
premiums, and the agricultural and stock
showing will be by far the best ever gath
cred together northwest of st. Paul.
The racing programme is rich in
attractions on every day of the fair. The
exhibition is to continue, giving two or
more events each day, including trotting,
pacing and running. In all the entries
number more than a hundred, giving from
four to fifteen starters in each
field. The field of running horses
is drawn from Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin.
Dakota and Manitoba, and will be without
a doubt the largest and best ever saw in
the northwest. NJ. t. Grattan, ESQ. OF
Preston, who so ably and impartially filed
the position of starting Judge at the recent
state fair, has been secured for the same
service at Fargo, and with experienced as
sistants viii see that the track contests are
honorably conducted. Reduced rates
one and one-ffth fare for round trip
tickets has been secured from all
points on the Northern Pacific
and ST. Paul & Manitoba roads, and also
or the Milwaukee & st. Paul road on its
river division from Red Wing, and its
Iowa division from Owatonna, good to
September 26th. Fargo is blessed with
good hotel accommodations, and although
great crowds will undoubtedly be in at
tendance all through the week, no anxiety
need DE felt on the score of facilities fol
food and lodging.

LigeIu Times at .Sioua. Gin.

During the past week northwestern Iowa
has been holding q fair at Sioux City, dur
ing which the people were treated to
several races. One of these races is in
terestlng to the people OF this portion of
Minnesota for the reason that Mr.. Geo
w. Sherwood, prominent breeder, and 8
resident OF st. Paul, owned Handle
tonian Maid, the winning horse
IN the race referred to, and
the one that caused a good deal of excite
ment. As viii be seen by the account be-
low taken froi2 the Sioux City Journal.
the Maid won the race in three straight
heats. The remarkable thing about th:,
race Is the fact that the judges deposed
the regular driver of the Maid, and put an
other Cne up behind her. Notwithstanding
she trotted fast enough to win. The
judges presumed that the Maid was not
trottlng as fast as she could, and though
she trotted fast enough to win, they further
presumed that her driver was in collusion
with the other drivers to not trot her ont
as fast as she ought to have been
trotted. This is one of the most extraordi-
nary decisions ever made on the turf. The
judges could legitimately have punished
the OTHER drivers if they thought they
We're not driving to win, but to punish the
winning horse under the circumstances is
piece Of business that is wholly uniusti-
fable. Il was enough for the Judges
for the Maid to win. If she was engaged

who gain the race, and the stockholders.

edy must be sought. All that can be de-
manded of horse is 10 trot fast ENOUGH

to punishment. The value, in great
measure, OF trotting horse, is to be with

to trot fast, or be able to trot faster than

THE SECOND HEAT
of this race soon resolved itself into the
same shape as the first, with Tom Phelps
out. Ha1nbletonian Maid took the
lead and trotted easily, Geo. H. a good
second and Hank third. No change ocur-
red in the positions, and the horses passed
under the wire in 2:47 for the
