PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTER Is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. AS such,t deserves
and must get the very widest circulation Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in Tor this department.; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. s. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. s. of Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is prominently the kind of informa-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle.
mans paper tor the history of the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed the trac-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

teen; that Lambert's thirty averaged over
eleven heats each in 2 80 or better; Har-
ODDS seventeen but eight; that Lambert
had got nine sires of fifteen 80 trotters,
Harold but three sires of four. None of
these facts are noticed by Mr.. Busbey.
AS to performance, | showed that Ben
Franklin demonstrated his ability to trot
as a six-year-old by winning four races
and trotting nine heats in 2 80 and bet
ter; that of the four takers of premiums
over him, two had never tried to trot and
the other two had tried, and demonstrate
ed their inability to trot at all. These
facts are not alluded to by Mr.. Busbey.
As to marking for performance, con-
tended that record of 2 80 being better
than the average performance of trotting-
stock stations, should entitle the horse
to, at least, an average place, or twenty
five points out of fifty, instead of three
or less, as the committee awarded. This
argument is not touched by Mr.. Busbey.
AS to character of offspring, showed
that the committee perpetrated the charm
ing absurdity of comparing the perform
ances of the horses before them, and their
speed rate, with those of George Wilkes.

which had each two III the 80 list. three
points each on this head and that the
Oldest of the horses judged was three
years younger than George Wilkes was
when his first 2 80 performers came out.
And, thereupon, | remarked upon the sa-
gacity of the committee. But this bril-
liant faculty has not been applied to the
solution of the problem presented, as nei-
Their the fact nor the argument is limited
at in Mr.. Busbey's reply. On the con-
trary, he reiterates the George Wilkes
comparison with parrot-like complacency
1t is evident that Mr.. Busbev has
formed his dialectics upon the heroic ex-
ample of Hardpan in his encounter with
the bear. 81 dropped my blackberries, :"
said Hardpan, "and being determined to
sell my life as dearly as possible, grasp
ed my sheath-knife and took position

THE ALMONT FAMILY.


The following table, intended to con-
tain all of the descendants of Almont
that have trotted or paced in 80, may
be found useful. The defect with all Ia
bles of this kind, where only the sire or
dam of performer is given, is that one
is apt to regard the performer as the pro-
duce of that sire or dam, unaided by the
prepotency of the other parent For
this reason we have given the dam in the
case of Almont's immediate contributions
to the 80 list, it being impossible to do
SO in the succeeding generations, owing
to the lack of information in regard to
many OF the newcomers. If this table
contains any omissions, as is very posi- =
BILE, we trust the errors will be pointed
out, in order that they may be corrected
1t is worthy of note that most of the
sons of Almont that have produced more
than one trotter may be classed as devel-
Oped sires. The PAGERS are marked thus
(p), while to the new 2 80 performers is
prefixed star %.

What Cigarettes Are Made of.

For some time past The Chicago
Journal and The Evening News have
been waging vigorous warfare against
cigarettes The Journal has printed a
series of articles showing the large
number of cigarettes that were sold by
small shopkeepers to the public school
pupils and has had interviews with
the principals of the various schools
and with physicians, showing the ex-
tent and injury of the cigarette prac-
tice among young boys. The News
has been investigating the compost
ton and effect of cigarettes generally.
With this end in view a number of
packages of each brand commonly
used were purchased and stripped Of
the boxes, cards and every distinguish
ing mark. Each kind was put into a
pasteboard box, the lid of which was
inscribed with a letter. These were
taken for analysis to Professor Della
fontainc. a well known chemist.
He found that the cigarettes he
tested were generally made of to-
bacco "imperfcctly fermented, which
means that an unusually large amount
of nicotine was present in them. He
found that nearly all had an unnatural
proportion of insoluble ash. that sew
eral kinds were stepped in an injurious
substance, and were impregnated with
dirt in varying proportions. New

Young Black Prince, late from Con-
necticut, will stand this season, till the
18th of July, for covering, in Hartland, at
g. the leap and SO the season, at the fol-
lowing stables, viz: at Mr.. Zebulon
Lees on Saturdays and Mondays, at Mr..
Lyman Child's Tuesdays, and at Mr. La
ban Webster's Wednesdays in each week.
Said horse was three years old last June
and was sired by the noted horse Black
Prince of old Hartford, Connecticut, inn
ported by Capt. Ramsey from Europe,
whose stock has proved to exceed any
other breed of horses in the country for
the harness and saddle. Those gentle
men who wish to raise horses for bust
ness will do well to improve said breed.

THE SCALE OF POINTS AS EXEM-
PllFlEO AT THE LATE NEW ENG
LAND FAIR

Editor Of the american Cultirator: If
Mr. Busbey will emulate your courtesy
by publishing in the Turf, Field and
Farm my letter to you on the Judging
by scale of points at the New England
Fair, his alleged reply to which you copy
in the last issue of the Cutivator, will
be quite content to drop the discussion
1t is generally easy to answer an argu-
ment which the answerer states to suit
himself. To the readers of the Turf
Field and Farm, the "reply" will appear
as flippant article, about nothing in
particular, Astounding in abuse of IA
favorite New England stallion. 70 the
readers of the Cultiyator, who have seen
both articles, it will be an amusing i'll
stance of trying to fight battle without
going near the field; for nothing is
palmer than that he has not yentured
within cannon shot of any position taken
by me. 1.-The honest critic," he begs to
remind me, tries to keep within hailing
distance of the facts" This shot would
have been quite as effective if he had
shown single inaccuracy in the some
what long array of facts given by me for
his instruction.. | regret that he has not
proiited by them; but | beg to remind
him that the honest critic also tries to
let his audience know something about
what was really contained in the article
criticised. Let US see if the gentleman.
who, as he intimales in his article, s'pre-
tends to critical knowledge" has done
this. Both articles are before the read
ers of the Cultivator, and if | make any
mis-statements they will know it.
As to pedigree, stated that Lambert,
sire of Ben Franklin, had at least thirty

Peru's Curse of Wealth,

1t was the wealth of Peru and
Bolivia which was their curse from
the time of Pizarro to that of modern
Chill. Guano has been exported since
1916 from Peru, and the annual ship
ments are said to have amounted to
$50, 100000 and $30,000,000, whereas
the whole population of the country
was not greater than Pennsylvania.
The epidemic of riches broke both the
government and the people, and
brought in foreign enemies. How
much better are we off in some parts
of this country with all our riches and
SO little fortitudel The guano running
down, nitrate of soda was found in the
deserts. and Chill came in to get this,
and destroyed Peru.
1t was discovered in 1888, in South
America, by an old Englishman
named George Smith. They say it
will take eight or ten centuries TO dig
it away Nobody knows how the nj
trate was formed under the sands of
this desert. Shoveling off the sand,
you come to a course of sun baked
clay, and under this is bed of white
material, like melting marble, and soft
as cheese 1t is about four or five feet
thick, and is broken up by crowbars
and ground. A solution from it is

Utilization is caused. The ultimate re-
suit is an iodine of commerce costing

WHAlEBONE.
From American Cultivator. !


Several parties have informed us at
different times that Ira Allen, by Adams's
Flying Morgan, trotted faster than the
records give him credit, and that some
Others of Flying Morgan's get, not down
III the records as such, had distinguished
themselves by winning races. Mr.. A. b.
Ashley, proprietor of Allen Farm, Mil
ton, VT, has investigated the matter. and
we are indebted to his courtesy for the
following facts:
N. Nj. Adams's Flying Morgan was
the sire of Ira Allen. Whalebone, Young
America, Sprout and Fanny, that trotted
III public races. William b. Munson,
who bred and owned Ira Allen until the
death Of that horse, told me that he trot-
ted race with Black Diamond at Chad
sey's track in Canada and won heat in
2:3l, but the heat was given to Black
Diamond. They had to trot a lap to
make full mile, and the Judges claimed
that Ira was further ahead when the
word was given than when they got to
the wire. He also trotted at the Yer
mont State fair with Commodore Wander
bit, Draco and Plato, and was second in
the race, which was won by Vanderbilt.
Mr.. Munson also Informed me that Ira's
dam was sired by the Dubois Horse. not
by Green Mountain Morgan.
"Whalebone was a son of Flying Nor
gan; dam by son of Telescope; grand
dam by Telescope, he by Potomac, son
of imported Messenger. Whalebone was
bred by Thomas Flanagan of Essex, Vt.
His dam was bred by Widow Platt of
Milton, VT, and sold by her to Flanni-
gan. Whalebone was bought by Merrill
and Austin in 1868, so Mr.. Merrill tells
me, and also states that they owned and
trotte1 him until his death in November
or December, 1872. Mr. Merrill also
states that while they owned him Whale

We are much obliged to Mr.. Ashley for
the above information. There is quite
discrepancy between the performances of
Whalebone as related by Mr.. Merrill, and
those given by Mr.. Chester in his ''Com-
plete Trotting and Pacing Record"
which, AS we understand it, comprises
all the records that have ever been print
ed in the leading turf papers, and many
besides. According to the work above
mentioned, Whalebone started in four
races and won all but three, getting a
record of 2:4li. The discrepancy is
doubtless due to the fact that Mr.. Merrill
remembers many small match races that
were not reported by the press. The
Young America mentioned bv Mr.. Ashley
should not be COMPOUNDED with the gray
stallion by that name that got Hazor
(2:26D. This Young America, son of
Hoagland's Gray Messenger, was known
late in life AS Long Island Abdallah.
