OLD TESTAMENT REVISION.
The Task Completed, But tho New Work
Not to be Published Until Spring,

The Task Completed, But tho New Work
Not to be Published Until Spring.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Rev. DR.. Philip
Schatf, speaking of the completion of the
revision OF the Old Testament, says:
lit is not probable that the new work
will be published before spring. The En-
gllsh company has finished its labors
and our company will only need to
meet once or twice more to complete
the appendix, but it will take several
months for the presses to furnish a supply
at all ample to meet the demand. AS in the
case OF the New Testament, the only au-
thorized editions will be published by the
University presses of Cambridge and Ok
tord, but, in the absence of an international
copyright, I presume this country will have
many editions of the Old Testament soon
after the first copy Is put on sale"
What can be said of the character of
the revision of the Old Testament?n
Nothing specific. The work has all
Deel done at secret sessions, and the CORE
spondence has been conducted under the
seal OF secrecy. The Universities of Cam
bridge and Oxford have been at great ex-
pense IN defraying the cost of the revision.
and it is not right to anticipate their publ
cations"
"Have as many changes been made in
the ga Testament as were made in the
New" 0
by no means, for no new Hebrew manu-
scripts have been discovered since the au.
thorlzed, or King James, version was pub
llshed, While many new and important
Greek manuscripts were used in the New
Testament revisions."
Will there be as much opposition to the
reception OF the Old as there was to the New
IeStament?:'
Not nearly so much, for many of the
changes are those already used by leading
scholars in the pulpit and in commentaries
Especially is that the case with Lange's

A MILE IN 2:OG 1.4--2:3 IA.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-The grandest effort
of the racing season of 1884 took place at
The Chicago Driving Park yesterday after
noon, and only three hundred people wit
messed the performance. Commodore Kilt
sons bay gelding Johnston paced a mile to
sulky in the unprecedented time of 2:O64,
again placing the pacing record below that
of the %trotters and casting the 2:o94
of Maud S. in the shade.
Splan first drove Johnston a warming-up
heat in s:19. This one seemed to timber
up the flyer. When he again appeared on
the track the stop-watches came out and
their owners sought positions opposite the
wire. Johnny Campbell also appeared on
the track behind Richball. President Hes
ing then announced from the Judges stand
that Johnston was to pace a mile against
his record Of 2:1O and that Richball would
also go to beat his record of 2:121aS. The
horses We're to start about fifty feet
apart, Johnston leading. At the first
attempt Splan nodded for the word. Camp
bell also nodded. Away went the two
fastest PAGERS on the turf. Johnston was
going for all he was worth, with his long,
sweeping gait. The chunky little blaze
faced gelding followed close behind, with
his rapid, springy movement. Johnston
passed the first quarter in thirty-two sec
onds. Rounding onto the straight road of
the back stretch, Johnston travelled even
faster than he had made his first quarter,
always keeping up that heavy long stride,
but moving a little faster. Richbali
had dropped seventy yards to the rear, and
went off his feet halfway down to the half
mile pole. AS Johnston passed the half a
Shout went up again and the watches
stopped at 1:03A. Richball had dropped
way behind. AS Johnston showed at the
foot OF the back-stretch and began coming
HON fast and strong, the men with watches
began to dance around u~neasily and look at
their watches. The maroon silk jacket of
John Splan could be seen over the fence
coming around the turn as though he was
flying. He was bending over and lifting
the gallant PAGER along. He was getting
every pit OF speed that vas in his horse.
Coming the last quarter in the Shade of the
buildings the gclding seemed to get a new
turn OF speed. Splan was leaning
over and yelling at the top of his
voice. The horse never faltered. He
was as strong and steady as
when he started. An instant he was in
front OF the sra1d-stand, while the crowd
he.d Its breath lest he should break. The
neAt traction OF a second and he swept
uhHer the wire. The fastest mile ever
Lrayeiad in harness to sulky was finished
and had gone OIL record as 2:o64. There
were hardly enough people in attendance to
get up a good-sized cheer, but the men did
thelr best and greeted the king of the turf
with a ragged volley of yells.
Minnie r., with Firebrand for a running
mate, next took the track. After several
unsuccessful attempts to get a good start,
the gallant mare got fairly Off, and came
under the wire in 2:O34.

THE Statesman's travelling CORES
pondent, 'Rambler," whose true name,
if we are not mistaken, is w. Is. Robb,
an old resident of this county, gives
the completest, best written, most
plainly pictured description OF the
great Shoshone Falls that we have
vet read. He takes the reader right
along with him, in exploring oavefns,
domes. and in the ascents and descents
to get different views of the falls and
surroundings, and the scenery on all
sides in the wanderings amid natures
erandeurs are so wildly portrayed
that the reader takes it all in almost
as complete and distinctly as if there
actually viewing the majestic falls
and sublime scenery.
