Although Mr.. Bither is but a young man,
he has been particularly fortunate as well as q
good driver; in getting hold Of such great
ones as Jay Eye See and Phallas, which he
has no5only educated and trained from colts,
but driven them all their great races. Jay
Eye See to record Of 2:102l, next to the
fastest trotter on earth, Maud S.,f 2:104,
and PhaIIas to d record Of 2:151l, next to
the fastest stallion on earth, SmuggIer,
2:15I At Cleveland, in June, '83, he
drove Jay Eye See mile in 2:162l, for
which he was much censured by many, even
by his owner. They all said no five year old
should be driven so fast, and even if he
could go, it should be kept dark. But when
in September he gave him the record Of
210I, in Providence, r. l., thus proving
him the fastest five year old in the world,
and placing himself high up on the ladder Of
fame, there were no words Of censure for
him then; but congratulations poured in on
every side. Mr.. Bither has been with J. [.
Case f0rthe lastnine years, during which time
he has given good records to q number Of
horses. He has now in his hands the prince
OF the turf (as we may call Jav-Ere-Sce),
Phal.as, Victoria, Gurgle and Endymiou, all
OF whom are said to be in first class coRdi
ton. The first two have been driven al win
ter on the snow bare footed, and they claim
that you could not find sounder OF better feet
in the country. They are at present at
Louisville, where they are preparing for the
coming seasons campaign. Jay-Eye-See
has won every race he has ever trotted but
one, and that was in Chicago, as q four year
Old; Eddie Bither was driving him, and lost
the first heat, so they thought he was young
and inexperienced and put him down, and
put Bud Doble in his place; the result was
his first and last failure.

The San Francisco Chronicle says: A Sc
rious accident occurred at the Bay District
Agricultural grounds on Sunday afternoon,
April 6. Grin A. Hicllok, the well known
driver and trainer, was exercising the trot-
ting FLY Ruby when it occurred. A running
horse called Joe, and the PAGER Lucy accom-
panied Ruby, the three animals being at
tached to sullles. When between the quar-
ter-mile and half-mile pole the running
horse Joe collided with the sulky in which
Hickok was seated. In an instant Hiclzok
was lying insensible upon the track, having
struck upon his head when thrown from his
seat by the collision. The running horse did
not injure him further, but the PAGER, which
was just in the rear when the accident oc-
Cured went rigat over him, and it is
thought that either Lucy's hoofs or the wheels
OF the sulky inflicted the more serious iniu-
ries. The driver of the running horse
stopped as soon as possible and turned his
animal to the outside OF the track. He then
went to Mr.. Hickol's assistance and re-
moved him from the track, Just as Ruby
came rushing around -Four times she
dashed around the mile track, and was final
" caught after being tired out. Mr.. Hicllok
was brought to his rooms in town and DE-
Lane summoned to attend him. He recoy-
cred consciousness carly in the evening, and
if there are no internal injuries it is believed
he Will soon recover.

Seely's American Star was horse Of quail
ity and bloodlike appearance. He was a
chestnut in color, with blaze in the face
and hind ankles white above the pasterns.
He was foaled in 1887, and was bred by Mr..
Henry H. Berry, Pompton Plains, n. j., but
passed into the possession of Edmund Seely
about the year 1848, and thereafter stood at
Goshen, Orange county, n. Y, until his
death in February, 1861, having made his
last season in 1860, when he served twenty
one mares. He was sired by Stockholm's
American Star, a chestnut with one white
foot, who was a good runner and winner of
three-miIe heats. In 1886 he served three
mares, the produce of one being Seely's
American Star, and he was then gelded. He
was by Duroc, a son of Diomed. His DAMS
breeding has never been satisfactorily deter
mined, but there is no doubt that she was
thoroughbred. The dam of Seely's Star was
Sally SLOUGH, as she was by the celebrated
four-miler Henry, son of Sir Archy, her dam
by imported Messenger. This warm blood,

Rev. NJ s. Kaufman, the N. z. pastor AZ
Fargo, started east to-day on six weeks
vacation
Ii the weather is favorable. it is claimed
that the rails viii be laid from Fargo to
WahPeton by May % Mr.. Foley, the con
tractor, has been to Chicago and secured the
latest improved machines for tract, laying.
A Chicago letter in the Memphis Le{ga. has
this: "Colonel p. DOMAIN for governor OF
Dakota. Second the motion Unanimously
resolved that he is the first choice Of the hosts
Of people who know his supseme fitness for

The past week the annual hegira Of the
frogs from the Red river to the sloughs
west took place. They were not quite as
numerous as some Of the reliable old settlers
reported in early times when they could be
shoyeled up anywhere, but they numbered
probably two or three millions in the city
limits. Hundreds Of them would be kicked
from off the sidewalk in a short walk.
Like all new cities in the west Fargo has
been infested with great number Of the
demi monde, and a little settlement ''under
the hilI'' has several fine houses desecrated
by their orgies. 1t is announced that the
new administration has ordered them all to
leave town within five days and stay away
It is hoped this viii not prove spasmodtc and
temporary, but people are generally incred-
ulOus over the entire success OF efforts Of
this kind.
The Fargo EaDl5Jlicca and one Or two other
papers are strongly urging the venerable Mr..
Dow, Of Wapheton, for governor Of Dakota
evidently under the impression that he is the
Maine gentleman who originated the prohi-
bition law SO many years ago. Col Plum
mer, who is himself an old temperance lee
turer, bases his support Of Dow chiefly upon
his temperance labors. This constitutes a
tie Of fellowship between them, that suggests
jonathan and David. This Dow has no
known qualifications for the position.
n. Brewsy Holmes, the noted local poet
and humorist, now editor of the Bi0aIqze,
has vastly greater literary faculty than can
be accommodated in one small daily, and
his fugitive lucpbratiops glimmer in many
Of the pages Of the eastern press. In addi-
ton he is pregnant with humorous volume,
somewhat Of the Nye and Adams sort in
which prominent citizens Of Fargo VIII be
made to figure in dramatic and picturesque
ways, and local history viii be woven about
them in the peculiar pieturings for which the
author is noted. The variations and charac-

General E9S0w.

General Knox, the celebrated stallion, or
the Fashion Stud Farm of Mr.. Henry n
Smith, is now twenty-nine years old. lie
has lost an eye andhis back is down, but his
quarters still look muscular and his coat pre-
sents healthy appearance. He runs in q
paddock during the day and finds shelter in
q roomy box at night. Ten Of his sons and

Lady Maud, 2:18H; Camors, 2:19N; hide

famous dam transmitted to him the white
hairs, which form q sort of star cluster
on his back, but he has the thick

Goldsmith Maid was the winner Of something
like $3.50, 600 during the twelve successive
years she was on the turf, She is now
twcnty-seven years old and is well preserved.
She has not been faithful since 1881. Her
produce Of that year was a bay FLY by Gen

is 1913 and is a perfect likeness Of her dam.
She has been broken to harness, and would

many people who were not horsemen, as well
as by good many who are, and who came
to examine the animal with a view to pur-
chasing. Sealed bids were called for and re
cciyed Besides these, the doctor received
some communications that were not very
creditable to those who wrote them. These
consisted of letters asking the doctor to in

he had received were, so that they might bid
Q little higher. Those persons who wrote
those letters would not like to see their names

$500. The last one was made by John
