Illinois il ID believed the crop will be
aAfe from frost by the close Of the pres

quarters Of the average in Iowa. II Is
thought the yield will be tho largest and
best ever known in the State. Corn has
hardened and fast getting away from
danger by frost. The hot weather,
which still holds ON in Nebraska and
parts Of Kansas. has done no harm, the
crop being no far along a. not to be al

New YoRx, Sept. 18.-A squabble be-
tween Frrnk Work and Mr.. Vanderbilt,
g 70 tho merit Of their respective teams
Of trottinC horses, was the leading topic
in Wall street last week. Work was for
4 long time the late CommodOre's trust
ca stock broker, but il IL an open secret
that for several years he and William
II, have not been ON speaking terms.
N. Work has decidedly the better Of 1t,
foe there can bo no question of tho ro-
cord of his team, while that of Wander
bllt stands ON very shaky basis. Work
has offered to trot against Vanderbilt
for any SUN. Vanderbilt, however. de.
elines, q he will MOI tr0t for money.
This excuse Work meets by an offer to
qive the stakes to some charity. Works
conduct has been such a. to secure for
him the approval Of the Wall street
community, bat the members OF tho
Vanderbilt party insist that the record
Of Works team has been lowered, and
Work must be sAtished with the second
ulase.
