HE LOST HIS MONEY.
A Man from Dakota the Victim of
a Confidence Game.

n MAN from DakOIa the victim OF
a Confidence Game.
A neat little confidence game was played
on man yesterday, and the ''con' man
got away without his victim learning his
name or being able to describe him SO that
the officers will be able to nail him. Her
man GOrondzilski, the man who was duped,
came down from Grand Forks, Oak, ar
irving here yesterday morning. He had
been employed during the past season ON a
farm and had saved $50, and with this in
his pocket was making his way East
While he was sitting in the union depot
yesterday stranger came up and drew him
into conversation, in the course of
which he told the unknown man
that he was on his way to Kenosha, Wis.
The stranger said he was on his way to the
same town and that he had thirteen car
loads of cattle in Minneapolis, and he pro-
posed to GorondZilski that he go up there
with him and they both travel east together
This proposition he readily agreed to and
at noon they both went to Minneapolis and
while walking up Nicollet avenue they
stopped opposite the Side block, and the
stranger asked his companion to wait on
the sidewalk a minute while he stepped in
side to see friend; he did so. and soon
after the stranger returned with roll of
bills in his hand and said he needed little
change, and asked him if he would advance
him few dollars till to-day. Gorondzilski
gave the $50, and the stranger re-entered
the building and hasn't been seen SINCE
The police in both cities have been notified,
but it is hardly probable they will catch their
game.

The New York Show.

One of the best horses in the show is i'm
ported Woodstock. He is rich mahogany
brown, stands sixteen hands high and is
four years old. He was formerly in Baron
Rothschild's stable in England, where he
showed very high form, winning as two
year-old the Prince of Wales cup. He ran
second to that great flyer Superba for the
Ashley stakes. His sire is Sir Bevys and
dam Stella by Mogador. He is the most
acknowledged horse in the show. His
sire, Sir Bevys, won the Derby in 1879; his
grandsre, Favonius, in 1871, and his great
grandsre, Kettledrum, in 1861. Among
his other ancestors and connections are The
Miner, who beat Blair AthOl. the greatest
horse in England; Apology and Angenoria,
the dam of Pontiac and Pontiac. He has
in his blood strain of King Tom, one of
the most famous horses in America, and of
Newminster. whose blood is most esteemed
in England, through Hermit, Adventurer
and Lord Clifden.
Of the trotters, the handsome Mambrino
King stands at the head. He is Is years
old and is by Mambrino Patchen out of a
dam by AleXander's Edwin Forrest He is
rich chestnut, standing about 1873 hands.
He is supposed to be the handsomest horse
In America, and $50, 900 would not purchase
him. Dan Cossack another trotter. has
record of 2:2s, is rich mahogany bay,
standing 1619 hands high and weighing
1.3CO pounds. He is well built and has
good legs and feet. He is the only stallion
that has ever sired colt or filly, outside
of California or Kentucky. that has a record
of $40 OF better at 2 years old and 1868 at
years old. A large crowd is always visi-

1t is rather square at the muzZle. the profile
is straight. with good width of forehead.
deep jowls, a splendid eye, but not the best
nostrils. He has good, bloOd-like neck,
but has not quite as much depth from the
withers to the points of his shoulders as we
would like to see, although they are quite
oblique. He has good depth Of girth, a
short back and very fine, wide loin. His
quarters are big and well developed, but
rather straight. which makes him look
rather short. His arms are large, and he
has fine, big knees. One thing is particu-
larly nOticeable-his elbows, which are set
free from his body, and is one OF the best
points horse can possess. His feet are
large but inclined to cup. We can hardly
say we like his pastrrns, which are short,
not that we like them over long, but he IN
clines to stand rather straight upon them
But he has immense bone for all English
horse, and this will make him very val
liable acquisition to our blood stock. He
has one of the sweetest tempers. Those
who saw him at the National Horse snow
received the impression that he was hot
headed, bad-tempered brute. But when we
saw him, on Tuesday, at Mr.. Belmonts
private stables. in Eighteenth street, he was
quite the reverse, and stood for a long time
and allowed us to stroke him, without NOV
ing muscle. There were quite number
of horses in the stable. but he never noticed
them. and was docile as a dog. His groom
says that, like all race horses. he is uneasy
when being rubbed. -Wilkes' Spirit OF the

Breeding for what You want.

To procure an animal for certain pur-
pose the breeder must determine what he
desires and adhere strictly to the principles
OF breeding most likely to give the result
wished. The most common mistake with
breeders is when man doesn't know what
he wants himself. The average breeder
will say he wants a first-class horse; one
that will bring him q large price if he
be remarkably handsome and very fast, and
both qualities to distinguish him above all
other colts in the country. But he fails to
consider and adopt the means to the end,
for he has no end in view except that he
hopes to raise an ideal horse. Various
learned gentlemen have from time to time
undertaken to enlighten the world about
horses; one would call the Morgan thor
oughbred. and still another tells the farmer
that the Percheron is a thoroughbred. With
such teachers what are we to eX-
pect from those who make no
pretensions of any knowledge on the
subject? The fact is, a thoroughbred
horse is one bred expressly for running,
and nothing else. The trouble is, the
masses of the people have got it into their
heads that thoroughbred means something
superior to everything else in the world.
There never was greater mistake. The
fact is, all that is needed about breeding is
a little practical common sense. Suppose
that man has a wellbred trotting mare
and wishes to raise colt. The way would
be to turn her to standardized horse. but
in place of this the owner looks about and
finds a Percheron, whose owner tells him
+hot heIf tho fast +rnttnrc in tha country are
descendants of this breed. Well, the colt
comes and grows up. At one point he fol-
lows his sire, at another his dam; at one
point he is big; at another he is small;
neither one thing nor the other; is fitted
to no purpose either parent was
adapted. Remember all extreme crosses
are to be avoided, for the more violent the
cross the more uncertain the result. Breed
for what you want and you will be likely to
get it. Ii you want a running horse then
breed to pure thoroughbred, and that is
from winners. If you want trotting horses.
go to the horse with pure trottiDg action
that has a trotting Inheritance; that is
standard by the most rules; that has proved
himself prepotent and capable of trans
hitting these qualities to his get, and you
will likely succeed. Never attempt to con-
tradict the laws of nature by violent crosses,
for you will surely fail. Never bleed to
horse with no trotting inheritance and then
spend money trying to develop the colts
speed when it has none, and very likely
never will have.

There you go, my boy. When you came

hat across the room, jumped out of your

toss, and now you are annoyed because
each article hasn't gathered itself into a

Now, then, my way has always been the
easiest way. l had rather fling my hat
down than hang it up; Id rather kick nv
boots under the lounge than place them in
the hall; I'd ather run the risk of spelling

slovenly, but ah mel haven't l had to pay
for it ten times over! Now set your foot
right down and determine to have order.
1t is trait that can be acquired
An orderly man can make two suits of
clothes last longer and look better than a
slovenly man can do with four. He can
save an hour per day over the man who
filings things helter-skelter. He stands
twice the show to get situation and keep
it, and five times the show to conduct a
business with profit.
An orderly man will be an accurate man.
If he is carpenter every joint will fit. If
he is a turner his goods will look neat. If
he is merchant his books will show
neither blot nor error. An orderly man is
usually an economical man and always a
prudent one. If you should ask me how
to become rich I should answer: BE Or

Quite Change,

The fastest that Hiram Woodruff ever

drove Peerless to wagon, and Dexter to
sulky, in this time. The watches were held
on Dexter by Shepherd F. Knapp, George
A. Hall and William NJ. Parks. The
trotting horse has rapidly advanced since
Hiram has passed from the scene of action.
The steppers which can beat 800 are
counted by the score, and the best record is
2:0S$4. One two-year-old is in the list
with a record of 2:21. and two three-year-
olds have acquired in races of heats record
of 2:1915. Were it possible for the great
reinsman of the past to revisit the earth,

The Taree.Year-Olds.

The three-year-olds of the year are a
srrong band and show what rapid marches
the American trotter is making in reaching
that indefinable point-the ultimate limit OF
speed. Patron heads the list with his most
creditable record of 2:19H, for it was made
in hotly-contested race; Eagle Bird,
2:23I, also made his mark contending
against other colts; Silverone likewise scored
her record of 2:24A in the fourth heat.
Other notable three-year-olds are Jeanette,
2:26I; Lord Nelson, 2:26H; Nelson, 2:26&;
Williams, 2:27A, and Greenlander has
added another to Princeps' list of $50 trot-
tiers. The majority of the sensational
three-year-olds of the year are stations,
which is marked contrast to the expert
ence of other years and other classes. We
take it as a sign that the cry against devel-
oped speed in sires is in vain.-''V eritas. :"
