Endurance in Han aud the Horse.
Turf, Field and Farml.

A Minnesota correspondent wants to know
''which is capable of making the most miles
in period of, say, thirty, sixty or ninety
days, man or horse, each to take the gait
best adapted to him and each TO travel as
many miles per day as he chooses." He
adds that all in his neighborhood agree to
accept the Turf, Field and Farm as author
ity on the subject. In twelve hours a horse
will travel farther than a man, but we doubt
his ability TO cover as many III lies in twenty
four hours. Rowell has gone one hundred
and fifty miles in twenty-three hours in a
slx-day race. Should ne crowd all his strength
into twenty-four hour effort, 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that he would go still far
Their. Three men, Hazael, Rowell aud Fltz-
gerald, have done six hundred miles in six
consecutive DAYS, which is task beyond the
capacity OF any horse. At least, there is no
authentic record of equine endurance equal
To II. Weston has covered five thousand
miles in one hundred days, and he closed
the long Journey in better health than when
he started. We do not think that a horse
could be found able to complete the task.
The strain would tell upon him before he had
gone half the distance, and he would recu-
perate only Though rest. The chances, also,
are that be would fall lame, would become
footsore. We believe that Weston can travel
on foot 3, 900 miles in sixty days, which
would be at the rate of sixty miles per day.
He has shown more endurance than any
man that ever attempted p.otracted walk.
Man Is gifted with speech, and he can de-
scribe his feelings-can tell what disagrees
with him The horse IL slower In making
himself understood, and disorder Is likely to
increase TO a prostrating degree before the
cause Is discovered and removed. IL also Is
easier 10 take care Of the feet
OF man. The machinery
is not confined in horny box requiring per-
feet balancing to keep It from binding or
clogging. On the contrary, by simply un-
lacing 4 shoe you can get al the seat Of
trouble aud furnish relief. Should the best
horse that judgment could select be started
in thirty, sixty or ninety dag race against
Weston or Noremac, the shrewd layers OF
the odds would name the man TO win.

JAMES RIVER VALLEY ROAD
Purchased by Crawford Livingston
and w. e. Merriam. of st. Paul.


Crawford Livingston, Esq, reached the
city yesterday afternoon direct from James
town, Dakota, where on Saturday, in behalf
of himself and w. r. Merriam, ESQ.,, of st.
Paul, he closed a sometime pending negotia-
ton for the james River Valley railroad.
The line of this road runs south from james
town reaching on through La Moure to Aber-
deem and Ordway. Mr.. Livingston was
seen soon after his arrival home by
GLOBE reporter, and in response
to questions said that Mr.. Merriam and him
self had Jointly purchased the road, but de-
chned TO state at present the terms and con.
ditions Of the transaction, further than TO
say that the company had floating debt of
considerable amount which would at once be
paid of. The right of way for the line has
all been secured on favorable terms, and the
surveys made to Aberdeen and Ordway and
the grading completed for the iron to La
Moure, fifty miles south of jamestown, and
with the opening of spring the work would
be continued.
Mr.. Livingston authorized deuial of
rumor that the purchase had been made in
the interest OF the Rock Island system or any
other, though he stated, without naming
them, that other parties than HIMSELF and
Mr.. VI. had been admitted to az interest In
the transaction. The james ftFer valley
line Is therefore an independent line, and
interestedly so, from the fact that it Is so ad-
vantageously located that it can be, aud will
be, utilized by four great trunk lines, the
Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul, the Chicago
& Northwestern the Rock Island g. Pacific,
and the Northern Pacific railroads.
1t IS not impossible that the rumor regard
ing the Rock Island interest sprung from
facts, which gave it the color of FEASIBILITY
Both Mr.. Livingston and Mr.. Merriam are
interested In the Minneapolis d. st. Louis
railroad aud Mr.. Merriam is a director in that
com any Both gentlemen are interested in
the Wisconsin, Minnesota 81 Pacific railroad,
Of which company Mr.. Livingston is dircc-
tor, and both these lines are owned and con-
trolled by the Chicago, Rock Island s, Pacific
company. But the Rock Island version Of
dn interest in the J. L. V. railroad is soft
color" notwithstanding.
The Wisconsin, Minnesota & Pacific was
completed last year 10 WATERFOWL. D. r. and
If that line should be extended TO Bismarck,
as IL is supposed II will be, IL will pass through
either Aberdeen or Ordway, and at one point
or the other make a connection with the
James River Valley line. Similar connec-
tons with the other leading roads named are
alike possible 50 that no preference exists
in favor u any system except the James
River Valley line.
