and it may well be considered astoniSh-
ing that horse who died just ten wears
ago has yet an even dozen of trotterS to
represent him in turf battles, number
exceeded by comparatively few sires in
the heydey of their fame. The enor-
nous number performers by Blue Bull,
90, Is, probably, the greatest representa-
ton of the get of any stallion that ever
took part in any class of races. in
single season, in any country or in any
age. His great rival, George Wilkes.
stands second to him with 40,a long gap,
but the hackers of the latter horse in the
race for fame can point to the fact that
he had two more , 80 or better trotterS
on the track last season than the Indiana
phenomenon. There are vet many To
rally to the standard of each. and do
not know a better chance for long

representation of these two sires in the

speculations can be based upon the facts
contained in the foregoing tabulation.-

THE HALL BLACK HAWKS.
INTERVIEW WITH HENRY F. HALL, BRlD-
PORT, VT.

Mr.. Hall says: MY fathers name was
Hiram II. Hall of Bridport. The first
Black Hawk he bred was out of bay
mare, say II l-2 hands high, 1925 lbs, by
Hills Sir Charles. Father bought her
of David Hill, some ten or twelve years
before Black Hawk came here; bred her,
think the first year Black Hawk was
here. The produce was a chestnut
think chestnut-horse colt, with one or
two white feet and slight snip in the face.
Father took him to the fair at Syracuse,
n. Y, at three years old, and sold him
there and he went to Ohio. He became
cross and was said to have killed man
in Ohio. He was colt that would make
horse of over 1000 lbs. rangy, strong,
nice colt; we did not name him. He was
a very fine gated colt; think father got
in the neighbOrhood of $500 for him; he

sons of that distinguished trottng pro-
gcnitor have stood in New England at

ords shows that Daniel Lambert has sue
cceded in sending out Il greater number
of $50 winners than any ten of RVSdVk' :
| llamblctOnian'S sons that ever stood IN
the Eastern States. 1t also shows that
his 2.3O list exceeds in numbers that of
any other three stations that ever stood
in New England.

proportion of Daniel Lambert'S trottcrS

back to that distinguished son of Sher-
man Morgan. Six of lambert's sons are
now credited with representatives in the
$50 list, and three of these sons were
also from dams that trace directly
| through the paternal line to Hills Black
Hawk. The total number of 2.30 per-
formers got by these six sons is ten, and
| it is a singular fact that six of the ten are
also from mares that descended from
Hills Black Hawk. Three of Lambert :
daughters have produced 2.30 trotterS,
and the dam of Butterfly (2.l9 80 was

IIambletonian descent, that are showing

that for an outcrOSs with the Handle
tOnan family the Lamberts are pretty
sure to prove nearly as successful as
when bred back upon the Black Hawk
strain. Next to the Black Hawk cross
that of Young Columbus seems best suit
ed to producing speed when bred to Lam
bert. Three of his trotters are out OF
daughters and another from an inbred
granddaughter of this horse. The Lam
berts make II very good showing as turf
performers, but are much more highly
esteemed as prOmpt-driving, hardy, sty-
| fish roadSters. 1t is doubtful if any fam
| lily can be found to-day which excel,
them in this respect. Their tempera.
ment is such, however, that they require
gentle treatment, and those who are ac-

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 25.--The late

man Of the knights of Labor, denouncing

He challenges Powderly TO find men who
can truthfully say that he (Parsonsl ever

tlon Of life and property. Parsons letter
says the foundation principle OF the So
cialists or anarchists Is the same as that
OF the Knights Of Labor, to.wit The

every capitalist a laborer and every Ia
borer q capitalist, ending forever the con-

dicted" a social revolt of the work

Gladstone and Home Rule.

LONDON, April THE various whip
have arranged with the members OF
their parties for the postponement until
Friday of all questions which were to
have been brought up in the House of
Commons Tomorrow, except those of
the most pressing importance. In
thus curtailing the business OF the
House. Mr.. Gladstone will be enabled
10 begin his speech in explanation
o his Irish home rule scheme at about
40 in the afternoon. The usual body
of policemen stationed about the Par
lament buildings, will be strongly re
intorced TO suppress any demonstra-
tio'.s that may be attempted outside of
the bu ldings. Irishmen living in London
have been requested to assemble to-mor
row to cheer Mr.. Gladstone rs be enters
Parliament. A similar liberal mani
festatiOn is expected. Urgent whips
have been issued requesting the pres
ence OF all members IN the House of
Commons tomorrow and on Friday.
The House will be oOened at 8 a. N. to
morrow. to enable members to secure
seats. The opening of the House at so
early an hour Is commented upon adj
versely on the ground that it is placing
a premium on physical endurance and
handicaps inyalids and members.
The Parnellites. at a meeting to-day.
decided to enter the House at the
earliest possible hour in order to secure
seats. The Scotch members of the
House of Commons held a meeting this
afternoon to receive a deputation of
PreSbyterians from Ulster, who came to
enter their protest OF granting home
rule to Ireland. Sir Donald Currie,
Liberal member for West Perth
shire, presided over the meeting.
The moderator of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
who led the deputaIion, explained the
reasons for the visit. He said the
Presbyterians of Ulster were in deep
anxiety lest Parliament should adopt
legislation which would place the Pro-
tesant ministry in Ireland at q great
disadvantage by handing over the con
troi of affairs of the country to u party
distinctively anti-Protestant. The
depntation spoke in the kindest terms
of their Catholic brethren in Ireland
but said they feared that the good re-
lationS would be disturbed under the
new order of things, which. it was IN
derstood, the leaders OF the government
intended to inaugurate.
LONDON, April S.-All of the Parne lite
members of Parliament have already
arrived in LOn6oh in order to secure
seats in the House for tonight. 1t is
reported that Mr.. Gladstone has in

Irish scheme. Mr.. Parnell, it is

however. is subject to modification OF
details. Lord Harrington is Gyerse to \
division on the first reading of The bill
The Standard admits that the Conserva-
tves are powerless without the assistance
OF Lord Harrington, ard that an attempt
at isolated conservative action would
result in victory for Mr.. Gladstone.
The Queen invited Mr.. Gladstone last
Wednesday, and again on Saturday, to
dine at Windsor. but the Premier was
too busy. and was compelled to declin e
both invitations.
