Sale of the Famous TrOtting Stallion

Sale of the Famous Trotting Stallion
Record, 2:174-eurchased by Mayor
NJ. v. Wagner, of Marshall, Mich.
The telegraphic announcement made few
days ago that the famous tretting stallion
Black Cloud, whose brilliant performance
upon the turf last season won both the
astonishment and admiration of horsemen,
had been sold by the estate of the late An
drew Cutter, of Marina, Mich, to NJ V.
Wagner, Esq, Mayor of Marshall, Mich
has been verified and proven to be correct.
Black Cloud is marvel of beauty and admi-
ration, and is perhaps the haudsomese and
most magnificent looking horse in a race that
ever trotted upon the American turf. A
large, finely proportioned horse, with a COL
or las black, as black can be,'' with not a
mark upon him, save small, bright, .beauti-
full star in the forehead. His hair is as fine
as silk, and as soft as velvet his name and
tail are long and heavy his tail almost
touching the ground. When trotting at full
speed he is beautiful sight, with his heavy
name flying in the breeze, his long, even,
unerring stride, and SO strong his gait, SO
grand his action, so perfect his every move
ment, that the looker-on becomes wrapt in
wonder and admiration. The noble animal
passes into most excellent hands. The
purchaser, Mayor NJ. V. Wagner, of Marshall,
Mich, is not only an admirer and lover of
good horses, but is also a most excellent
business man, and man of great energy and
enterprise. He is a large manufacturer, and
is the business manager of the Voltaic Belt
Co., of Marshall, Mich, whose excellent
Electro -Voltaic belts, and other electric ap-
pliances for the cure of various diseases of
the human body, have, by their virtue and
wonderful accomplishments achieved, under
the persistent advertising and excellent man
agement of Mr.. Wagner, an enormous sale,
not only throughout the United States. but
are shipped to every country throughout the
civilized world
Mayor Wagner has placed Black Cloud in
the hands OF that noted driver, Peter V.
johnson, of Chicago, who will campaign him
this season. Under his excellent manage
ment we expect to see the horse accomplish
wonders.

An Electric Boom.


t'The remarkable success of the American
Electric and Illuminating company in its
comparatively brief period of existence
gladdens the hearts of its stockholders and
is matter of wonder and regret to outsid
ers wonder at the company's quick and EN-
phatic success, and regret that they are not
also stockholders, so to reap the benefits
which the present holders of stock are now
receiving from the company. These Eene-
fits are shortly to be enlarged, for, in addi-
ton to the regular 8 per cent. yearly divi-
dend on the preferred stock, an extra divi-
dend of 2 or 8 per cent, the exact amount
not having been decided upon, and divi-
dend of like per cent. on the common stock,
will be paid sometime during the coming
month of September.
sfOf all the electric light companies the

THE NEW PARK ROAD,

THE NEW PARK ROAD.
The new road round the front of East Rock
has been very much extended during the
past two months. Aluost at the extreme
northern end of the park by q graceful
sweep, it passes around Whitney Peak and
returns along the eastern side of the ridge.
It traverses the hemlook grove We described
in a recent article, and passes through the
widest and most delightful portion of the
park The road will, when completed, run
to the summit of East Rock. The old road
down East Rock will be made to connect
with the road to Indian Head. This will
make one of the finest drives in the country.
Beginning on Rock Lane one can ride around
East Rock up along the western side of the
ridge, then come back on its eastern side then
of Indian Head, down into State street.
greater variety of enchanting views is scarce
ly to be had in driving similar distance any
where in the country. We think the Com
missioners ought to repair the house on East
Rock formerly occupied by Mr.. Stewart.
The walls are of East Rock stone and are as
vet in fair condition. The building can
easily be converted into an excellent restaur-
ant, or resting place, for those who visit
the summit. Something should be done to-
wards putting the grounds in order. AS it
is, the place is in wretched state To say
nothing of the view it commands, it can be
made in all respects a most inviting spot

THE GREAT BRIDGE.

To-day, in spite of the protests of sslabor
unions" the great bridge which joins Brook
lyn and New York will be formally opened to
the public. The President of the United
States will honor the event by his presence
and many other distinguished .men twill be
there. The programme for the day is very
interesting, and in the evening one of the
grandest displays of fireworks ever made in
this country will delight the great multitude
in New York and Brooklyn who will see it.
The great bridge has been thirteen years
in building and has cost over fifteen millions.
Its total length, including the land spans and
approaches, is $3.50 feet, or about mile and
an eighth. The length of the river span is
1886 feet and 6 inches. The length of wire
in its four cables, exclusive of wrapping
wire, is 14,361 miles. The height of the
bridge in the center of the river span is 1876
feet above high water. The approach to it
begins at Chatham street, New York, and at
the corner of Sands and Washington streets
in Brooklyn. The bridge Is divided into
driveways, one for vehicles going and the
other for those coming, these driyeways tax
ing up the outer sides. Between these are
tracks for cars similarly arranged and be-
tween these again an elevated pathway for
pedestrians, enabling passengers to have q
free and unobstructed view of the wonderful
scenes beneath and around tkexa. It is one
of the largest suspension bridges in the
world. The Niagara suspension bridge is
1920 feet long in its suspended part; that at
Kief is 1862 feet long, and that at Pesth
1852 feet.
One of the most notable things connected
with the ceremonies to-day is the fact that
the engineer who superintended the construc-
tion of the massive and beautiful bridge can
only view part of the proceedings from the
chamber which he has not left for long
time. The elder Roebling-John A.-died
of lockjaw soon after the great work began.
His son Washington A.-beeame RESPONSE
BILE for the work after his fathers death, and
his greatest anxiety was in regard to the
sinking of the caissons for the big towers.
Long exposure to abnormal conditions in
experimenting the construction of these
broke his health, and he has since been
confirmed invalid though his brain is as ac-
tive and clear as ever, and he directed the

and energy for the long period of ten years,
with an interval of rest Rt Wissbaden, in
Germany, of six months. In this long alb
sence from the actual seems of his work,
through his assistants he attended to every
detail and improved on the plans of his faith
err He had to solve new and untried prob.
lens that arose in the progress of the build
ing, yet always proved equal to the occasion.
He naturally rejoiced that he has lived to see
the end of the great undertaking.
The bridge will, of course, be Immediately
used by vast multitudes, though they will
have to pay toll for time. It will be great
convenience to the inhabitants of both cities,
and may be largely instrumental in making
them one. Talk about union is already in
dulged in, and Manhattan and Gotham have
been suggested as names for the big city.

President Eliot Criticised.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
You have the right to publish President
Eliots fling at theological students recruited
from the poor" But please allow the writer
to say that he regards the fling slander.
Who was the Master if not a recruit from
the poor2 Who was late divine of New
Haven, aided when a student and aided when
pastor beyond his salary, if not poor boy !?
Who was he? He was not simply the peer
of President Eliot, but, in the writer's hum
BILE opinion, his superior. as shown by his
lifelong interest in Church and State. Who
was the father of one of New Haven's bright
est and most talented clergymen? Who that
father? Read his Students NORMAL and
his numerous writings expressed in the most
graphic English. He was ssaided' when a
student. On becoming preacher he aided
thousands in coming to knowledge of the
truth No doubt he too was the peer of men
ranking higher in the esteem of good angels
than the President Eliots of to day.
