Maud >. at Belmont Park.
The FAMOUS MARE IN Coop CONDITION
HER DAILY EXERCISE
IN. Y. Times.

N. 1. lines.
PHILADELPHIA, April PA group of
well known horsemen stood around Maud S.
in her comfortably fitted apartment in the
Belmont Park stables this afternoon, and
discussed the probability of the famous trot-
ter lowering next fall her already great
record. The little mare began jogging on
the track last Monday. Mr.. Bair said that so
far she has not been moved much, only
enough to give her necessary exercise. THE
track" he said, sis in such bad condition
from the effect of the unfavorable weather
that nothing can be done on it yet. We jog
Maud around six or seven miles day at q
slow gait now. but after the track gets better
she will do some very much faster stepping
for exercise" The only daily programme
consists at present of a good rubbing down
ia the morning by Daniel Bowers, the
groom, a brisk walk on the track in the fore
noon and another in the afternoon, after
which the mare is again well rubbed down
and every particle of dust removed from her
hoofs and legs. Her food consists princi-
pally of warm mash. Since she came to the
park, there has been no perceptible change in
her weight. which is nov | ,040 pounds. She
weighed when she made her record of 2 :094
at Lexington, Kv., 9423 pounds. Mr.. Bon
ner, the owner of Maud S., was at Belmont
last week and expressed great satisfaction
with the condition Of his treasure. He has
not yet decided at what places the mare shall
trot during the approaching season. Mr.
Beir has now ii horses at Belmont, having
received three on Saturday, one of which.

by Mr.. Boomers son. Several other promi-
nent horses, among whom are A. Barngrover,

Weber have their animals quartered at Bel

has, it is said. made arrangements to have

IMPENDING WAR,

The government of England, in the
name of the queen, has called out the re-
serve forces and such proportion of the
militia as might be deemed necessary for
permanent service. The reserves are or
dered out only in ga case of great emcrN
gency," which her majesty deems the
present state of public affairs to be. Upon
the promulgatiou of this order English
consols fell to 963, which is the lowest
point they have reached for seven years.
Cabled facts of such grave import I'M
ply that in England war with Russia is
considered imminent. Coupled with this
is the obvious fact that affairs in the
Soudan are growing every day more IN
satisfactory and discouraging, but now
farther from settlement than at any time
before. 1t looks as if the great military
power OF the north regarded England's
extremity as Russia's opportunity While
Englands hands are tied by Ireland and
the Malidi, it would seem that the Other
powers that have been more or less
snubbed and imposed upon by Grea
Britain were disposed to take the presen
opportune time for settlement with thu
arrogant Briton. Euglands course ha'
been so domineering and self-sufficien
for so many years that she has
made no allies. There is perhaps
today not one first class power
in Europe that would not rejoice a
England's humiliation. She will have
therefore neither military nor moral sup
port in war with Russia whether She
deserves it or not. As she has shown
thus far neither the ability to govern Ire
land nor to cope with the Mahdi, it viii
be very difficult for her to vanquish th'
greatest military power next to Germany
The Rock Island Argus., 1885-03-31

in the world. Russia will fight on the
boundaries of her consolidated empire in
direct communication through her own
territory with her government and her
supplies. England will send over dis
tanee of 1000 miles transports, which are
liavle to be intercepted by Russian war
ships, and when tae seat of war in AfS
ghanistan is reached it will be field of
action on the frontier of a-frontier far
distant from bases of communication and
supplies and in country unknown to
them and well known to their willy ene>
my. An alliance, not only with the AIS
ghans, which in fact already exists, but
with the victorious Mahdi and with the
native population and forces OF India,
seems probable if not inevitable on the
part of Russia. The refusal of a Sepoy
regiment under General Graham to fight
the Soudanese troops only few days ago
is fact of prodigious significance.

THE great trouble with American
women is, as a friend slightly given to
slang, says. 'thcy are too big for then
boots" or, to speak more plainly, they
desire to assume more than their actual
standing This is the trouble in every
grade of life, whether it be that OF the
working girl or the grand dame, the wlfe
of millionaire and leader in society
The shop girl is no longer a shop girl
she is a saleslady. and very soon the
kitchen girl will be transformed into the
kitchen lady. Not that either of these
parties may not be as worthy as thu
title '1ady" as the wife or daughter of the
millionaire, bit il seems absurd to assume
it or give it. We have no classes in tbi!
country, and the man or woman without
a cent is as good as the one with a poke
full, or, as Paddy would say, a little bet
ter. Our work shops, stores and offices
are full of highly educated and accom-.
plished women who should glory in theil
different vocatiOns and not stand on {
false dignity as to title or be ashamed
that they earn their own living. A mer'
chant is a merchant, and a mechanic is {
mechanic, but woman in the same lint
is not to be called merchantess or me
chanicess or q merchant lady or me
chanic lady.
