MAC, THE RENOWNED TRoTTER.

The Albany Evening Transcript of the
l4th inst. contains reply to our cores
pondent 1920" from which we copy the
following paragraph concerning Macs
history:
"Mac was born in the State of Maine.
and was taken to Boston by Mr.. Robert
Walton. He was shown upon the track.
and although wild and almost uncontrol-
liable, gave evidence of speed. He was
subsequently sold to Harry Jones of New
York, and soon after was taken sick. At
ter he had partially recovered, Mr..
Fearing called upon Mr.. Jones and made
known his wishes to purchase Mac. The
horse was taken out and trotted half
mile at his full speed-his condition not
admitting any more severe work-and
Mr. Fearing being satisfied, purchased
him. Sometime after this, Mr. John Nc
Cardel of this city, having heard of the
horse, visited New York and made in
quiry relative to him. He was then
known as the ''Fearing,colt." Mr.. Jones
was applied to for information as to
whether he could be bought, but no sat
isfactory reply could be obtained. Sub
sequently, however, he was bought by
McCardel for 5000 and brought to this
city. In the fall of the year he was TAX
en- to Montreal and entered against St
Lawrence, under the name of La Prairie
which was the first title he ever trotted
under. The first day he was distanced,
and the next day beat st. Lawrence; re-
turning to this city, he remained quiet foi
some time, and when he next trotted il

Speed on KsilroaGs.

Speed is hard to average. An average
Of 4S 10 miles per hour Is the fastest
time in the United States. This is made
on the Pennsylvania ''limited" in it's run
from jersey City TO Philadelphia, ninety
miles in liz minutes. The Flying Dutch
man train is supposed to make tue fast
est time in the world, between London
and Bristol, 11s3 miles, in less than two
hours. The average. though, OF even this
fast train is only SO. miles per hour.
There are several other trains noted for
remarkably fast time on short distances.
Sometimes straight and even grade for
q distance of twenty miles will permit
train to run ct the rate OF more than
mile minute. One train on the Cans
dian Pacific road, from Cotaneau to Otta-
wa, averages fifty miles per hour for q
distance OF seVenty-eight mlles. On the
New York Central road the late Mr.. Van

miles an hour. An average Of SCI miles
an hour is considered fast travelling.
