Local Notes..

Wilkes Spirit: Pardee has been turned
out and will not be seen again this season.
His accident in the LOrillard stakes was all
that prevented his winning in the opinion
of the stable. The colt. as is well known.
has a defective foot, there being quite am
absence of frog. and he wears a bar shoe.
The bar broke three furlOngs from home,
and Fitzpatrick says he could feel him fall
ing all the way, but for which Wanda would
never have beaten him. AS it was he ran a
dead game colt, literally beating Tyrant and
the Others on three legs. For four DAYS he
could not put the foot upon the ground, and
is now only able to rest it lightly His loss
Is gricyouS one to Commodore Kittson.
and Maj. Hubbard feels that it means loss
of the best colt of the year. As an exhibit
ton of gameneSS il was great finish. and
needs no mearthing of that muSty old
chestnut" about Matt Dawson and Dun
dee'S finish TO give it point.
''Vigilant" in Wilkes Spirit: Rataplan's
absence from the race for the Monmouth
cup was greatly regretted. as after his srl-
perb race for the COney Island event it was
thought he would have made it 4 trife live
lier for Miss WOOdfOrd. His absence is ex-
planned by Maj Hubbard as due not only to
the fact that he had not recovered from the
cough he caught at SheepShead Bay, but TO
sore mouth that neceSSitated his being
let up.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE,
Privileges of Passengers,

To the Editor of the Globe:
Having noted with satisfaction YOUR
championship of the peoples rights Imake
bold to address you on a subject deeply
affecting my class: Do the laws of Mime
sofa require railroad companies to provide
"aItlng-room at stations for passengers
comfort while waiting for trains? | am led
TO tins inquiry by last night being kept out
pacing platform on the Hastings Il Da-
kota division of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul, and to-day, going a quarter hour
before the trains arrival at another station
on the same line, found the place swhere
one would expect to find waiting-room
was occupied by the agent as a residence for
his family, and 1, together with half
dozen or more passengers, was compelled
TO stand up i'll the brOiling sun-not seat
OF any kind being provided. This being
such an unusual state Of affairs Tin my eX-
perience), l made inquiries of my next
landlord, and he said I ''would
have to get used to that if 1
travel this DIVISION" and related how
travelling men last winter Waded in snow
between his hotel and the depot while wait
ing for night trains, and often missed the
train waited for, owing to the storm being
too severe to wait outside and the hotel so
far away that the trains arrived unheard.
This is peculiarly trying to travellers on
this division between MOntevideo and Nor
wood, as there are but two passenger trains
daily each way and one of them passes in
the night while all passengers are locked
out of the depOts. was told by the same
landlord repeated complaints had been
made to the company, but as far as he
knew no notice had been taken of them.
Now, am deeply concerned in this ques-
ton, being required to make" these small
stations III all seasons, and would like to
know if or not the railroad company is
compelled by law TO provide place of
comfort for its waiting patrons. If not.
travellers should know it in time and look
out for shelter before the Indictment season
again comes upon us. Yours truly,

The Horses Shoes,

There is no better time to repair the in
jured feet of the horse, kept shod the year
through, than now. Some men reason that
the average horse kept on dry feed during
the year needs run upon grass ito clean
him out" This may he accomplished in
other ways, but we cannot say as much of
his feet, for the latter, if long upon pave
ments and plank floor, will necessarily be.
to some extent, bruised and feverish, if not
contracted. To meet tine requirements of
the feet. therefore, it will be we'll to devise
some scheme by which the horse that is ne
ceSsarily kept up and driven upon artificial
roads during the year can be put upon a
dirt road or upon grass for a month at least
with his shoes off.
Chronic feverishneSs from the daily
bruiSing upon hard streets, and contraction,
can best be cured by removing the shoes.
thus bringing the heel and frog in contact
with the ground. This gives an earth or a
pasture pad for the foot to rest upon. cool
and moist, while the horse is on his feet.
The shoes being off, the frog divides the
pressure with the rim of the heel, and that
has beneficial effect in the case of any in
jury that may have been inflicted upon the
deep-seated parts of the foot. The frog
should be well developed between the heels
to prevent contraction. but mainly to fur
nish cushion, directly beneath the inner.
sensitive part of the foot, thus guarding
against conclusion. A run on grass is best
TO restore the lost balance, which comes of
the damaging influences mentioned.

Lieut.. Andres will have charge of No.
company this week in the absence OF Capt.
Cook.
Last week was quiet one with the fire
men. Some of the companies were not
called on to make a run, much to their dis
gust.
Two alarms were turned in from differ
emf boxes within two minutes of each other
Saturday evening, which is very unusual
occurrence.
The new hose reels recently placed in the
departments are looked upon by the men in
charge in the same light as a father looks
!nnn Il new son. Neither of them have
been used very much, but where they have
been brought into play they have given good
satisfaction.

1877, and the hose reel was placed in in 1879.
The same gentleman recalled the ceremony
of the laying of the cornerstone of No.
engine house, which occurred in 1874.
No building probably ever had a stone
placed in it with more eclat. The mortar
supplied for the work was mixed with beer
and part of the ceremony consisted in every
man in the department standing Oh the
stone and quat1ing flowing bowl. Be
fore the work was done, however, the beer
ran out. The question was how the kegs
could be repleniShed. At this juncture
Gov" COmick, a fire laddie, came to the
rescue by Offering to drive off To get some

which happened to belong to some country
man, and forgot to return until the next
day. He then just returned in time to save

which were about to be sent out after him.
In the cornerstone were placed, among
other valuableS, a list of the members then
belonging to the department.

THE BELLS.

''Well, " he said. with smile, ''as TO the
number Of players l couldn't say. There are
good many who profess some knowledge
of chime playing. As to the number of
chimes, l think there may be something
over a dozen in the United States, such as
they are. Many of them, however, are
very small. Take the one at Cincinnati.
for instance. l am told that il has but six
bells, which, of course, hakes it
possible TO play but very few tunes
upon II. There are three chimes in
New York, one rather poor one in Brook
lyn, three in Philadelphia and so ON
around"
They are much more common in Europe
are they nOt?"
''Peals of bells are, yes; but the playing
of music upon them is not nearly so COM
mon there as il is here. That is to say,
they ring them with one man to each bell,
ringing what are termed changes upon
them but they do not play tunes or regular
musical productions upon them as much as
we do here"
is it possible to play many tunes or
piec of music on a chime?"
''Oh, yes" he answered with a smile.

rInioIicn and PhaIIns

The great stallion, Phallas, which beat
MaXey Cobb in three straight heats at
Cleveland on the Fourth of July, is ex-
pected to reach New York to-day, and on
Friday, the Gath inst, he will trOt against
Majolica ON the grounds of the Driving club
of New York. In the race with Maxey
COBB he bruised himself, but not in
such a manner as to interfere with his
speed. and he is probably as good a horse
to-day aS he was on the Fourth. Of course.
it is we'll known that there is never any
certainty that horse race is a horse race.
1t belongs to that species of sport that fur
niShes unlimited opportunities to deceive
the public and cause people to believe they
see race. when really they see nothing
out pretellSe and show. mere exhibition
OF speed, void of real struggle. and with
out that which is the very essence of a
race. SO far rs one can judge. this contest
between Phallas and MajOlca will be
genuine race, i'll which an honest effort will
be made by both horses to win. 1t
promises To be such, and nothing has oc-
CURED to throw suspicion upon it. From
what Is now known of the speed of the two
horses, MajOlica has never shown i'm public
such speed as would warrant anyone 10
think that he can beat PhallaS
III Is possible that Mr.. StrauS, the
owner of MajOlica, knows that his
horse can beat the time made by
PhallaS. He certainly should have more
evidence OF the ability of his horse to win
than the public has, for ne has all along
manifested confidence in his horse, and
that. too, under peculiar circumstances, that
Indicate that he thinks he has a certainty of
winning. barring accident. 1t was thought
that when Mr.. Stratus saw the 2:14 of
PhallaS ut Cleveland he would abandon the
contest. 1t seems to have made no differ
ence with him. and he exhibited Just as
much confidence after the Cleveland race as
before. Ii is therefore presumed that Ma
jOlica has shown him something in private
that the public knows nothing of. On the
other hand PhallaS has proved his
speed and his ability to stay up
and trOt fast and hard races Mr..
Case proposes To put him i'm the stud next
spring. 1t is therefore very important for
him TO win this race. If he wins. it places
his horse in a position where he has no peer.
and he can command his own price for his
services. Ii looks. therefore. as though the
race would be square one. MajOlica is
said To be in excellent condition, and as he
IS bred to go the distance. the probability is
that the heats will be broken

black clouds obscured the sunlight. These
changed TO a light green color. and every
one feared, terrible cyclone. Numbers
left the several churches To hasten home.
and for time there was a good deal of APP
prehenSion felt by all. Happily. however.
the storm seemed 10 pass to the north of
the city, and only a severe thunder
storm. accompanied by a heavy fall
of rain, passed over Saltwater. The
rainfall was continuous for nearly two
hours, and the streets leading from the hills
to the business portion of the city were
turned into small rivers. Myrtle street was
again torn up, and large stones were
washed out of the Tecently-relaid cutters.
while quantity of sand was deposited be-
tween Main and Second streets. A num-
Der of men were at once put to work and
the streets promptly cleared, the only dam
age being the flooding of Isaac Staples
