mits His Annual Report.
A Wonderful Performances.

LEXINGTON, Ky, November H.
Maud >. has proved herself a greater
mare than eve her late owner. Mr.. w.
H. Vanderbilt, or her present owner,
Robert Bonner. ever thought she was.
Hiram Woodruff, the old time trainer of
trotting horses, laid it down as an iron
clad law, that you could never have a fast
mile after the frost had struck the ground.
Last week the ice formed repeatedly and
took the elasticity from the soil. Sober
headed men like DR.. Horr, said it was
too late for Maud S. to attempt to do
what no horse except herself had ever done
Enthusiasts, however, predicted that the
record would be broken. The day was
bright for November but the expert does
not look for muscles 10 be flexible when
the Indian Summer comes. There was n
large gathering Of the very best people of
the Blue Glass region at the Fair Grounds
truck. A placard c~onspicuously posted
on the grand stand disclosed the
fact mo betting allowed" At l1:30
Bair came out behind the Queen and gave
her II warming up mile in 2:26a. The
judges and timers we're Major II. c. Nc
Dowell, Colonel II. West and W. H.
Wilson In the opposite stand Mr.. Bon
ner had his watch, lanked on both sides
by General +. c. Robinson, Mr.. L. f.
Brodhead, Mr.. Richard Anderson and
Hamilton BusbY. The conditions under
which the performance was made were
thus written in the record book: Maud
s.. will start to beat her " record Of
2;09i, and should she beat her record,
Woodburn farm, where she was bred, will
commemorate the achievement by award
ing to her through the Kentucky Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Association, with a
cup with the time made by her engraved
thereon" Bair logged around the track,
went to the head of the stretch, came
down and nodded for the word. The
great mare didn'r make a single mistake.
The time of the first quarter
was 323; the hall mile
was Iet. the t~hree-quarter pole was
reached in 1857 and here Mr.. Bowerman
joined her with a runner hitched 10 a
sulky. The finish was strong and the
judges stopped their watches at 2:09l.
The majority of the outside watches made
the time 2:09. The scene when the Queen
returned to the stand for Bair to weigh,
was indescribable. 1t was the greatest
performance of the kind ever witnessed
in the world and the Kentuckians shouted
as only Kentuckians can do. Mr.. BON
ner's first congratulatory dispatch was 10
Vanderbilt. The mare will now be turned
ont for the Winter.

CHICAGO. November l1.-Binette, the

stated, to California parties by her own
ems Bowen & Co., and will run in a four
mile dashrat San Francisco week after
next at the meeting Of the Pacific Coast

stables will take part. At the close of
this meeting part Of the Rancho Del
Paso's stable viii journey to Mobile, in
charge of Captain 7. G.. Moore, where
they will be wintered and prepared for
their engagements in the Southwest and
East next Spring. 1t is more than prob
able thnt some other of the California
stables which have engagements this side
Of the Rockies next Spring will also be
wintered there as Captain CottriIl has
demonstrated that horses can be trained
there to good advantage during the Win
ter months, and the Magnolia track af-
fords every facility for that purpose.

General schoaeld's Report.


CHICAGO, November 1.-THE annual
report of Major General Schofeld, com
manding the Division of the Missouri, is
published to-day. 1t treats of the opera
tons in that Division during the past year.
The roster of troops in the Division shows
seven regiments and two companies Of
cavalry, nineteen regiments and one COM
pany of infantry and four batteries of field
artillery. The report urges the necessity
for liberal appropriations to provide per
manent shelter and barracks for troops in
this Division. He refers to the destitute
condition of certain Indian tribes in the
Department of the Platte, and urges
means for their relief. He urges the
necessity for a practical school for field
artillery fashioned after the schools of APP
plication for infantry and cavalry at Fort
Lcayenworth. General Scbofeld invites
attention to the Importance of schools for
the practical instruction of the militia Of
the several States. The urgent need is
for the education of both officers and men
in the use Of the modern rife, in the field
manGuvers necessary to make the fire Of
the rifle effective and in the detail ofarmy
life both in camp and in garrison. In one
such institution young men between II
and 20 years of age would make, he ar
CUES, excellent soldiers, far more valuable
than many times their number of un'
trained militia. The National Govern
