THE MORNING HERALD


THE MORNING HERALD
For 1884 will be the cheapest morning paper pub
lished in the city of Baltimore. 1t will also be
the best. While it will make speciality of local
and State news, it claims the world for its field,
and each issue of THE MORNING HERALD
will be a complete and compact history Of the
events of the previous day. The story will be
told entertainingiy and while it will not be long
enough to tire you it will not be too short to be
interesting 1t will be spicy but never vulgar. 1t
will not pander to prurient tastes but will be pre-
eminently paper for the business man and his
family. No man will be compelled r1nd THE
MORNING HERALD before taking it home, in
order to make sure that it contains no matter un-
fit for the eye of women and children. Its editors
will save him that trouble by keeping these objec-
tionable features out of the paper altogether
THE MORNING HERALD will be- as in the
past, Republican in politics; it believes in the
protection of American labor and will earnestly
oppose any effort to abolish the tariff, which has
done so much to build up the industries Of our
country it is under no obligations to any corpor
alton its editorial columns under no control
save that of its editor, and when THE MORN
ING HERALD has any opinion to express it
expresses it fearlessly and in language sufficiently
plain to be understood by everybody. THE
MORNING HERALD will be honest in politics
as in everything else and party fealty will not
prevent it from exposing any rascality or con-
demning any unwise and improper acts. THE
MORNING HERALD will appear about January
1st in a complete new dress of type, which we be-
lieve will make it by long odds the handsomest
newspaper in Baltimore and as handsome as any
paper in the country.
THE SUNDAY HERALD
Is acknowledged even by its rivals to be the best
Sunday paper published in this city. A special
cable letter from London, correspondence from
Paris, Washington and other great cities, well
selected miscellany, bright and entertaining
stories and plentiful supply of local and tele-
graph news are few of the features that make
its eight pages rich storehouse of the best reading
THE WEEKLY HERALD
published every Friday an eight-page paper,
chronicles all domestic and foreign events of i'm.
portance occurring during the week, we'll selected
miscellany, hints to the farmer and housekeeper,
devoting entire page to financial and CONNER
cial reports-in fact, it contains all the news es
sential to all who not in the habit of reading
daily paper.

Extraordinary Railroad Time.

Ne,o York Sun.
The trBin that makes the run of 912 miles be-
tween New York and Chicago in 254 hours makes
only seven stops; but there are SO many bridges
to cross and villages to pass through that the
speed is necessarily relaxed as often as once every
ten miles-else the average for the entire run
might be much higher than 1929 miles an hour.
Its greatest speed is on the run between New
York and Philadelphia; and here the slowest
mile is made in two minutes, and the fastest in
ffty-seven seconds. Many a mile is made in
sixty seconds. The locomotive which Mr..
Angus Sinclair of the American Machinist made
the trip from Jersey City to Broad street weighs
"A tons, and on descending grades, when the
great machine was doing mile minute, the
driving wheels made 1854 revolutions minute.

Pacing and Trotting.

American CHitirator.
The question of superiority in point of speed
between the PAGERS and trotters is still an open
one, although at present it would seem to favor
the former. The pacing record of Pocahontas,
2174, to wagon, was at one time the fastest
mile ever made in harness. Dexter soon came
forward, however, and trotted in 2.174. few
years afterward Billy Boyce paced a mile in 2.143
in a race with Rolla Golddust. few years later
Goldsmith Maid trotted a mile to harness in 2.14.
The next horse to beat her record was Rarus,
which trotted at Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 3, 1878, in
2.134. This was beaten by St, Julien at Oakland,
CAL, Oct. rs, 1879, where he won heat in 2.123.
The PAGER, Sleepy Tom, then cut the harness
record down to 2124, but Maud S. soon eclipsed
that by trotting in 2.1O4, and now johnson has
come forward and spun around the track in 2.10,
going in such manner as to give the impression
that he is capable of doing even better than that.
This seasons performance of Richball, 2.124
Flora Belle, 2.133 Fuller, 2.133; Gem, 2,13a,
and Westmont, 2.15t, would seem to indicate
that the relative proportion of very fast PAGERS
was much greater than that of the trotters.
