is only calculated to show, as near as posi-
bic, how fast trotter can cover q mile,
with the slightest OF hindrances, the run
ming horse taking the weight. Ethan Allen,
Billy D.. Yellow Dock and FL. B. Winship,
who have successfully stood at the head IL
this line of competition, ell have
harness records from 81 seconds upwards
slower than records with q runner to kelp
them. This fact shows very forcibly how
weight anchors q trotter, and perhaps
night be made TO serve as the basis for an
approximately scurate calculation of how
many pounds OF Weight is equal 10 sec
ond in speed as handicap. For instance
a. 3. Winship, record 2:2015, has record
OF 2:1CM with running mato, Yellow
Dock, record 2:20M, has record Of Ell
with running mate; Billy D., record 2:26,
has Tscozd Of 2:I4M with running mate,
and Etaan Allen, record 1858, has record
Of 2:15 with running mate. It viii rs
noticed that the difference between the
harness records ana the mongrel wy Of
going, in the cGse of each Of these horses,
al.es little from 10 seconds. With 4. B.
Winship and Yellow Dock it amounts to
81 seconds, with Billy D. 112l seconds,
and with Ethen allen 1917 seconds. These
four horses, having been IN turn the fastest
performers with running mgte, and having
held champions place for period of six
teen years,the coincidence is quite remark
able, and may be instructive. Assuming
that a trotter, hooked in this way, draws
absolutely no weight, it would be quite
fair to conclude that twenty pounds
hendioaps horse to the extent of
second in a mile, or thereabouts, be-
cause regulation weight Of driver
and average weight of sulky amounts to
about two hundred pounds. Applying this
to the case of Mr.. Vanderbilt, when he
drove Maud S. and Aldine to 2:1515, the
team drawing about one hundred and fifty
pounds overweight, it would be equally
fair to conclude that, with the extra weight
off. they should trot in 2:07. But, of
course, trotter with running mate docs
draw some of the weight, in point of fact,
and it is probably about right as general
rule, with abundant exceptions, however,
to consider that thirty pounds of weight is
equal to second of time as handicap in
a mile.

Funeral Of Horace Burton b. kel.

There was laid to rest in the peaceful
precincts of Oakland cemetery, yesterday
afternoon, Horace Burton, the youngest
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Bickel. The
funeral services were held at the family
residence, No. $40 West Third street, at 2
o'clock, and seldom have the last sad rites

or beautiful. The remains of the little

which DR.. Miller spoke few words of cor :
ISOLATION to the bereaved and stricken family {.
He also made pathetic allusion to the
bright dature and sweet character of the
deceased, whom he had known intimately.
In speaking of his heroic suferings and
death, he said that much had been said of
the courage and forti.ude with which some
men had met death-"I have witnessed
many death scenes" he continued, 'and
have stood by the bed of both old and
young in their dying hour, but it has never
been my lot to have seen greater bravery
in meeting death than was displayed by
this child" The remarks of DR.. Miller
were exceedingly appropriate, and they

Ashland Patchen, (2:36); second dam Ruby
Durac, by Messenger Dnrac; third dam
Lady Nodine, by Rysdyk's Hambletonian;
fourth dam Montgomery Maid, by Seeley's
American Star. His sire is Adirondack,
by Bona Eide; record 2:464 in 1881; first
and only raca he ever started in, winning
easily in three straight heats; first dam
Madge by Volunteer, sire Of st. Julien,
2:114, and twerty-one others with records
better than 2:3O; second dam Nelly by
Alexander'5 Abdallah, sire of Goldsmith
Maid, 2:1h, Almont, etc; third dam by

Rysdyks Hambletonian out of Kate, got
by Belair. The Object Mr.. Sherwood had
IN purchasing this colt was to get a good
strong well bred animal to cross onto his
mares. 1t looks as if he had accomplished
his purpose.

who claim that perfect conformation IS

lands Won twice cut OF four races.
He won The Fjndon Stakes at Goodwood,
beating .anougE Others the noted Stray
Shot (the dam IF Shotovar, VINO won The
Decbe), and taen won ths corporation
stakes az Brighton. He vas unpIeced FOR
the Derby, wen by Gaipin, but ct four
years old he ran second for the Cesare-
witch 10 Eosebery at . difference Of two
p0upds, and was also second for the Liz
erpool Autumn cup. Woodlands, unlike
the majority of horses seemed to improve
with years, for at six years old he was at
his best. He ran second to the famous
Pageant for the Chester cup, and the next
day he won the great Cheshire stakes, beat
ing Footstep, ancient Pistol and others.
The above constitute his most prominent
races. His blood is the stoutest in the
stud-book. He is by Nutbourne from
Whiteface, by Tarnus; second dam Nan
Darrell, by Inheritor; third dam Nell, by
Blackjack; fourth dam Madame Vestcis,
by Comus. His sire was son of the
Nabob (son of The Mob, by Glaucus, he by
Partisan), from Princess by the Derby
winner, Merry Monarch; second dam
Queen Charlotte, by Ellis. Woodlands
should be located at some of the leading
studs as he is q real prize, and his blood
and perfection Of symmetry should not be
lost.
Midlothian is handsome bay, now nine
years old, by Rataplan or Strathconan
from Lufra, The dam of Lowlander, who
was esteemed the fastest horse in England.
Midlothian was winner of the Stewards
cup and Chesterfield cup, at Goodwood, in
1873, and he is a horse whose breeding and
performances entitle him to favorable con-
sideration as sire.
The two year Odds and yearling s are the
get of Alarm, Reform and Strachino. The
yearlings have been bitted and mounted,
but are warranted untried. Major Hub
bard states that he will exchange them for
mares by Gleneig, Monarchist, Virgil
Waverly, Bonnie Scotland, or anything
which will suit his mares.

The Death OF IdeI.
Esprit of the Times.

Tho Spirit mentioned last week that the
old stallion Idol, by Mambrino Chief, dam
by American Eclipse, was very near his
end, and in fact he was shot on that day,
by one of the agents of the society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals, ct the
request os his owner, Mr.. Frederick Akers,
OF Mt. Eden stock farm. He was foaled
in 1855, and being nearly twenty nine
years old, his powers had, of course, great
ly failed, but the immediate reason for
putting him 10 death was rupture. he
was bred by Mr.. R. p. Todhunter, of Ken
lucky, and trotted several races in his
four-year-old form, in one of which he
distanced his field, in 2:41I, which was
then one of the fastest records for O four
year-old stallion. He showed a trial of
2:S3 to wagon. When the war broke
out, he became the charge of Capt. RyIand
Todhunter, aud did the hardest of cam
paigning on the confederate side. In 1871,
he was sold to DR.. Cheatham, of Nashville,
Tenn, who sold him, in turn, to Mr.. VIM
Il. Peck, of Hartford, Conn, and while
the property of this gentleman he gained
the name of Peck's Idol, by which he is
him into the Kellogg sale, in the spring of
1880, and he was bought by Mr.. Akers for
song, no other purchaser seeming TO re-
slize the value of his breeding Mr.. Akers
was offered $1,000 advance for his bargain,
and has since refused the advance of 3D.
900, but had resolved that the old horse
should die his property, and he could not
have had q more considerable master IN his
declining years. In 1880, he served
twenty-one mares, producing eighteen
live colts, one mare slipped, and one died
in foal, leaving but one barren, which
shows his great prspotency at an advanced
age. He lived to see his two-year-old son,
Prof. Going, from Martha Washington,

distsncing all competitors, and Mr.. Akers

Modjesla's Compliment to st. Paul.

Appropos of Modieska's coming engage
ment in our city, it may not be amiss to
state fact pertaining thereto that might
not, but for the medium of the press, be-
come known to our citizens. Modjeska
plays in no town between Milwaukee and
st. Paul, and at the conclusion of her en-
gagement here makes a through run to
Cincinnati. This should be the more ap-
preciated sy our people because strong
effort was made by the citizens of Chicago
to induce Modjeska to return to that city
and play the week there. This request
came in the form of lengthy petition
signed by the most prominent business
men of the city, and bearing at its head
the name Of Mayor Harrison. But Mod
jeska chose to keep her legitimate ap-
pointments, and we not only esteem her
the more for that, but accept the resolve
as compliment worthily bestowed upon
the metropolis of the Northwest.
