Petition for Another Division OF the
Historic Township.


A large number of the residents of the
lower portion of the town of Pennington
will petition the General Assembly at its
next session for a division of the town on the
line of the boundry between the two voting
districts, now known as Pennington and
Unionyille. The reason for this action may
be concisely stated to be the incongruity be-
tween the old Pennington village and the
active factory burgh of Unionville on moral,
political and social questions. Pennington
is conservative, Unionville, radical; Farming
ton, Republican; Unionville, Democratic;
Pennington, no license; Unionville, license.
And the financial consideration is also
weighty one. Much the larger share of the
taxes falls upon Harrington, while Unionville
holds the balance of power in town meeting,
through having the most votes. The well to
do and conservative residents of the old vii
lage are therefore frequently called upon to
pay for improvements. etc., projected by the
radicals of Unionvills, and of which they do
not approve. As in many a family, the en-
engetic child at the north end of the town is
regarded by the parent town as fully able to
take care of itself.
In case the petition should be granted, the
question of representative is interesting under
the constitution, as neither the new town nor
the old would probably have 2, 300 inhabi-
tauts, the new town would remain voting
district of Pennington and would simply
have voice in the election of its two repre-
sentatives. The population of Pennington
by the census of 1880 was 3,017; a liberal es-
innate at the time would be 1000, of which
probably about /, ZOO reside within the pro-
posed new town.

HANDS. | NAME.

Those of the sporting papers that make
speciality of their Christmas numbers fairly
outdid themselves this season. The New
York Sportsman spread out forty pages of
matter before its readers, including short
sketches of some of the best known breeding
farms and their masters, it's title page show
ing well executed ikenesses of half dozen
or more of the leading horse breeders. The
Spirit of the Times omitted its usual Christ
mas-scene title page, bat its fifty pages of 6ne
type, embracing stories, poems, sketches of
horsemen and horses, and its timely illustra-
tions and views, make it q racy number. It
IL no discredit to the others to say that the
Chicago Hofseman had bit the lead in the
race for honors. Its seventy two pages were
superbly printed, some of the pictures of
horses being fully equal to steel plate engrav-
ings. The pictures embraced many of the
favorites of the breeding farms, and there
were numerous sketches of the individual
horses and the farms where they were raised,
Startle the fastest of the aambletonian
star stalliens, died this week from disease
caused by an liberated tooth. He was bay,
bred by Charles Backman at Stony Ford; was
sired by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, dam Lizzie
Walker; was foaled in 1857, obtained rec
ord of 1885 as q three year cid, and then WAS
sold to Robert Bonner for $20, 900. He new
er again started for purse, but he trotted
the old Fleetwood track in ALE, going to the
half mile pole in 1:0411-a 300 gait. He
was buried on the Bonner farm at Tarry-
town. Mr.. Bonner has two magnihcently
formed sons of Startle; one is a bay colt, two
years old in the spring, out of Russella, the
full sister of Maud s., 2:05 3 a; the other Is q
chestnut, two years old next spring, out Of

Notea Abonr Harnen.

Uncle William DAILY is closing up the years
business at Clifton very satisfactorily. His
horses have captured their full share of the
purses, his two-year-old flly Glory literally
covering herself with glory. She landed the
best stake offered on Christmas 81 ,000), Civ
ing her competitors a fine race. She will
now be retired to winter quarters, with their
accompanying idleness. Mr.. DAILY refused
$4,000 for the young bread winner few
days ago.
''Whas do you think of the Tarbox pAcerP'
asked gentleman of friend who had been
seen riding after it. 'sThink7 Why, don't
think anything about it; know that she is
the oiliest one I ever rode after-quick, nervy,
a superb roadster and as clever as kitten
and the way she can pull a road wagon is q
wonderI" Mr.. Tarbox has refused several
liberal offers for her. but it is understood
that he don't care to part with her unless
there is good big lump coming in return.
The Sporting World says: Secretary Nc
Gowan, of the Brighton Beach track, got q
letter the other day from a lad who wants to
weight. etc., the boy wrote that he was not
afraid of horses or anything else. The score
tary handed the letter to Father DAILY. He
perused it and handed it back. That may
be good boy he said, but he has too much
courage. I want boy who is afraid of book
mskers-so afraid that he won't look at one. :
The boy is not yet engaged"
At Utica the other evening a couple Of
horse-clippers had contest for wager of
$25. They used air machines that were turn
ed by hand and each was allowed two helpers
one to hold the animal and the other to
turn the machine. No. finished one side of
his in II minutes, No. 2 being a couple of
minutes behindhand. When No. 2 finally
was ready for the other side the horse baked
and it took all his force and himself to turn
him around, and around the corner he put
on all his steam and won the purse; time, 30
minutes
A writer in the Eorseman, arguing against
the theory that in order to attain phenomenal
speed horse must be fully up to or above
standard height, brings out the following
figures, which show that very many of the
speediest horses are what are usually denom-
mated "under-sized:"

outward bound New Haven train before
reaching Mt. Carmel. The slightest deten-
ton of the train from the north after leaving
that point bring the trains in dangerous
proximity. Not unfrequently before the in
ward bound is fairly on the siding the snort
and roar of the other train is heard close at
hand AS the point of meeting is on sharp
curve, where a down a down grade begins,
over which the train from the city must
pass. the peril is intensified Old railroad
men pronounce it hazarous in the extreme.
