TROTT1NG HORSES.

The compilation of the Third Volume
of DUNToN's TRoTTING HORSE BREED
Err AND TURF MANUAL has been attend
ed with manifold vexations, and has
been retarded somewhat in consequence
of delayed information upon several
pedigrees embraced in the work. But
in a compilation of such importance,
covering period of more. than fifty
years, and embracing every trotter and
PAGER which has record of 2:3O or
better, and an acknowledged pedigree,
there will always be more or less to in
terfere with its completeness. 1 have
therefore been compelled to place the
day OF publication beyond my first in
tentlon. and cannot even now flatter
myself that l have escaped all errors.
but do feel confident that patrons will
ind the work. as a whole, well done.
There have been collected, for this
Manual, more details than will be found
in any other book of reference for
breeders or turfmen, no matter how ex-
pensive. l believe, too, that the in
formation given has been so arranged
as to be readily found and easily COM
pretended. The object of DUNToN's
TURF MANUAL is to provide cheap
book OF reference for the million, as ac-
curate as the most expensive registers
and stud books, and SO cheap as to be
within the reach of every man who
owns colt, or has mare to breed. |
firmly believe that the correct educa-
ton of the masses is the shortest road
to prosperity for the entire body of
trotting horse breeders, and the quick
est and most certain remedy for many
turf evils. In compiling this standard
reference for popular use, l hope some
assistance has been given to the better
turf element.
The three volumes of the Manual now
before the public give as clearly and
accurately as is to-day possible, the
pedigrees and history of trottine and
pacing horses in America. In this
Third volume, while the performers
who come into the 2:3O list new, or re-
duced their records in 1884, will be
found arranged alphabetically; there
will also be found all performers in 2:30
or better, from first to last, with year
when foaled, if known, and record,
classified under their sires, which are
also arranged alphabetically. The ex-
tended pedigrees of noted brood
mares can be traced by reference to
the breeding of their produce. This
volume also embraces class of statist-
les, to be found in the time tables,
which has never been condensed into
any single publication. no matter how
expensive or comprehensive The
tables and pedigrees furnish at a glance
such information for amatuers, and
even for experienced breeders, as can
not be gathered anywhere else, without
weeks and months Of laborious re-
search. For these reasons this book
should be, and l think it will be found
in the hands of every man who for any
reason feels an Intelligent interest in
the American trotting horse.

is the proportion that is needed,
and that this produces the best results
ever yet attained; and they cite in proof
of this Maud S. and Jay-Eye-See, whose
dams, Miss Russell and Midnight, were
half-bred runners. There is one most
important fact connected with the breed
ing of these two mares, and that is that
they were both by the same horse, Pilot
Jr., and that horse was a PAGER. The sire
of these two most famous of horses was
Dictator, by Hambletonian, 10, and full
brother to Dexter. In their sire, then,
was found the most approved lines OF
trotting blood. To what should the
power of Maud S. to make record
of 2 09L and of Jay-Eye-See to make
a record of 2 10 be attributed, to the one
fourth running blood, or the one-half
trotting blood and one-fourth pacing
blood? In this connection it should also
be remembered that the trotting and
pacing actions are interchangeable gaits.
The stamina of the thoroughbred comes
from the fact that he is a high bred horse,
and not from the fact that he is runner,
and there is no runner living that could
stand the same amount of work, and
come out with sound wind and limbs, as
some of the trotters who campaign
through a whole season. Where is the rum
ner that can do what Jay-Eye-See did
when he made his four-year-old record of
PIG on the seventh heat? The runner
has attained his high finish of form, and
speed and endurance because his progen-
itors have been selected for those quail
ties; and the same method in breeding
the trotter is producing a high bred horse,
all of whose instincts are to trot in place

When Russia makes any move that does
not meet with the approval of the clubs
in Pail Mall, the cry of British interests
is raised Still, the Beaconsfield Ministry
took to themselves, and for the interests
of England and humanity, the Fiji
Islands; the Transvaal Republic, not
withstanding the protestations of the
Dutch Beers; the island of Cyprus, and
some othen places. 1t was terrible
thing for Russia to take Merv.
There have been some things in
the administration of the Liberals
which are justly open to criticism,
and no doubt Lord Salisbury and
his colleagues will show what those
things were; but they must remember
that Mr. Gladstone still sits in the House,
and that he is probably the ablest gem
eral debator who ever sat in Parliament.
Their arraignment of the late Ministry
will not be so strong as it otherwise
would, if Lord Salisbury had been asked
by the Queen toform a Ministry after the
general election, and the country had
declared in favor of the Conservatives.
But the world will watch with interest
the game of politics now being played in
London and what the new Ministry will
say about the conduct of the Government
during the past six years will not be of so
much importance as what the new Min
istry will do.

System of Plunder that Has Resulted
In the Ruin of Fields and Villages.
As we left Shahrud, writes corre-
spondent from Cala-I- -Maur, Persia, the
defensive walls of the villages seemed
to get more massive and stronger
while the single gate of entrance TO
them got smaller. this last being a
pretty sure evidence of danger and of
precaution against it. The towers of
refuge in the fields seemed also to in
crease in number, showing that the
Turkomans. took every care to make a
surprise by skulkiHg Under the covers
of hollows, or whatever would conceal
them, till they could pounce suddenly
on the village or its fields, and catch
the unfortunate cultivatos IS before they
could reach the security of the walls or
the safe refuge of one of the towers,
for if once into one of these the Turko-
man on his horse could do nothing.
In one village three men were kept on
the lookout in towers, and ii they saw

anu l tnlnk 1t Is, at any
fate' certain that there was nothing of the
infant phenomenon in her. In her mor.I
development, she showed from the earliest
years, that trait that was most markell i,
her ali through life, namely, the absolute
need of some one person who sbonld ha
all IN all to her, and to whom she sbonld
be all in all. Very jealous in her afTee-
tons, and easily moved to smiles or tears
she was OF nature capable of the keenest
enjoyment and the keenest suffering, know
ing all the wealth and all the woe Of .
Pre-emlnently exclusive disposition. She
was afeetionate, proud and sensitive in
the highest degree"
In consequence of her mothers delicate
health, the little Mary Ann at five wears
of age " was sent TO join her sister at Miss
Lathom's school, at Attleboro, where tbev
continued as boarders for three or four
years, coming, occasionally, home to Griff,
on Saturdays" In her thirteenth year she
was removed to Miss Franklin's school at
Coventry. A schooImate says of her thus;
In her classes for English Composition
Mary Ann Evans was, from her first enter
ing school, far in advance of the rest: and
while the themes of the other children
were read, criticized and corrected in class.
hers were reserved for the private perusal
and enjoyment of the teacher, who rarely
found anything to correct. Her enthusi-
asm for music was already very strongly
marked, and her mu8ic-master, much
tried man, suffering from the irritability
incident to his profession, reckoned ON his
hour with her as refreshment to his
Wearied nerves-and soon had to confess
that he had no more to teach her. Tn con-
nection with this proficiency in music, my
mother recalls her sensitiveness at that
time as being painfully extreme. When
there were visitors, Miss Evans, as the
best performerin the school, was summoned
to the parlor to play for their amusement,
and though suffering agonies from shyness
and reluctance, she obeyed with all readi-
ness, but on being released, my mother has
often known her to rush to her room and
throw herself on the floor in an agony Of
tears. Her schooIfellow8 loved her as
much as they could venture to love one
whom they felt to be so immeasurably SUI
perior to themselves"
