The Fastest TrOtter.

The best index of the progress made
in breeding the fast trotter is the table
that is published each season showing
the reduction made in time from year to
year. No single State in America has
made more progress in the production of
fast trotters during the last thirty years
than Kentucky has. Up to August l,
1889, there are 161 horses who have
trotted in $50 or better. OF this num-
Der Kentucky has furnished fifty nine,
and the rest of the country 1872, showing
q large proportion for a single State, OF
the l6l trotters ia Ys.20 or better, only
10 have trotted in 2.15 or better: Maud
S., 2.03 "a; Jay Eye-See, 40; St. Ju-
liam, ali IA; Rarus, 1913 IA; Maxy
Cobb, 2.13 IA; Phalas, 2.13 "a; Gold
smith Maid, 2.15; Clingstone, 2.14;
Trinket, 2.14; Harry Wilkes, 2.14 "a;
Hopeful, RIA "a; Lulu, 2.15, and Ma
iolica, 2.15. Of these thirteen, six were
bred in Kentucky-Maud s., .Iay-Eye-

The New York Stock Exchange.

New York has no more entertaining
public exhibition than its Stock Ex-
change. 1t is one of the show places of
the city. Thither goes the citizen for
amusement and thither he takes his coun-
try acquaintance. The latter is at first
uncertain whether he has been brought
to a madhOuse or to Pandemonium. The
idea that Che market value of our leading
securities should be determined by what
appears to him to be bowling mob of
incurable lunatics is incomprehensible.
He can make neither head nor tail of it.
He looks down from lofty gallery upon
u large unexpected and unfinished floor
filed with walking figures, the most Of
whom appear very angry and very I'm.
mannerly.
What exhibitions they do make of
themselves to be sure! Two we'll dressed
men suddenly rush at each other, shake
their fingers in one another's faces and
shout When apparently on the point
of clinching or striking they stop, pro-
duce bits of paper, and notes are made
evidently an appointment for settle
ment elsewhere. Again, without any
visible provocation. number of figures
cluster about given point, gestculating,
scrambljng and pushing for all the world
like flock of hens when u handful of
grain is dropped among them. A mo-
ment more and the circle is broken, its
members joining new combinations.
When score or two CT these scrambles
are going on at the same time the effect
upon the unaccustomed spectator may
be imagined.
To the initiated there is nothing mys.
FERROUS or unintelligible in all this
clamor. The participants are simply
buying and selling stocks. The two
demonstrative individuals have discussed
and closed bargain. Instead of an APP
pointment for u meeting, with pistols
for two, their memoranda contain moth
ing more than the terms of their agree
ment. The volcanic cluster was formed
about some one who wanted to purchase
or to sell block Of certain stock, and
whose announr ement of that fact
brought about him crowd of eager
dealers with offers or bids, as the case
ight be.
When sale is made the particulars
are at once secured by telegraph agents,
who flash the transaction all over the
country, and the price of one stock is
fixed for the time for TN entire nation.
In that apparently rough-and, tumb Q
way transactions aggregating hundreds
Of millions of dollars day are affected.
The Exchange is simply big bazaar
for the sale of bonds and stocks. --Ne,o
