MAUD s."
She Makes Good Time in Practice
Heat-Good Judges Think She Can
Beat Her Previous Record.

NEW YORK, July %.
Maud s., who has not been out of Bon
ners stable single night this gear, and has
not been in a professional trainers hands,
but driven every day on the road, trotted
fast mile today at Fleetyood. The warm
ing up" mile was done in 2.26 and the second
mile in 2I2l-2. The fractional time was,
quarter 80 IA seconds, half 04, three quar-
tiers .3S l-2 She was eased on the last
half as she was not started to break the rec
ord. The fastest mile previous to this ever
trotted at Fleetwood was by Maud S, when
she made a record of 2.l3 3-4 against 2.l4
by Trinkett Vanderbilt then owned her.
The track was several seconds slow compared
with Buffalo.
Maud s. has to her credit the fastest quar-
ter mile, 80 IA seconds, made at Providence
the fastest half mile, .02 made at Chicago :;
the fastest three-quarter mile, l.35 IL, made
at Cleveland: and the fastest mile, LOS 81,
made at Cleveland. Also, she has the fastest
mile in a race against another horse, 2.13 l-2
at Chicago; the fastest mile in a double har-
ness, 2l5 l-2, driven at Fleetwood, to top
road wagon, by Vanderbilt; and the fastest
mile to a skeleton wagon, 2.l3 IA, driven by
Bonner at Tarrytown.
Good Judges are of the opinion that she
can beat at Buffalo, in the next ten days, her
record of 2.0S 3-4. Bonner has not yet de-
cided to start her for the cup.

An Enthusiasm that Time Has Not Dis
missed.

Mrs. Edwin II Blanchard brought into the
journal Office recently a Harrison medal
which was given her during the campaign Of
1850, she then being five years of age. She
remembers distinctly the incident of that
political struggle, and can repeat from mem
ory the campaign songs she so frequently
heard sung. The medal bears on one side
the famous log cabin, with the cask Of cider
in front, and on the other side the head Of
Harrison. The lady thinks that the Harri-
son enthusiasm which was imbibed so early in
youth, has lost none of its force. The infu-
ence of mothers may easily be demonstrated
by the fact that the ladies' son will take this
medal for watch charm during the coming
campaign. Mrs Blanchard is believer In
temperance principles and speaks of the IA
nous hard cider campaign as being step in
the right direction; the cider taking the place
| Of stronger drinks then so generally used.

At railroad meeting here Friday, Civil

that the one through the central portion of

Rather a singular occurrence took place at
the table of prominent citizen here the
other day. Several old acquaintances hap

talk happened to turn into political channels.
One republican asked his democratic friend
ii he remembered Mr.. n, and then told the
following anecdote Mr.. n. was an old time
democrat who had three sons. Not having
the best of education himself he determined
that his sons all should have an education,
aud with this object in view, sent the oldest
one TO the nearest academy. The first time
this one voted he cast republican ticket,
and his father upon seeing it, took him TO
task right ON the spot. Father, he replied,
81 If you do not want your sons to vote the
republican ticket you must not educate them"
pom this being told at the table, second
old friend spoke up and said, Did you ever
hear how the old gentleman came out with
his other two sonst' and then told the fol-
lowing We'll when the second son was
old enough, he, too, was sent to the academy
to be educated, and upon becoming of age,
he voted the republican ticket This was
too much for the oil gentleman, for he failed
to send his third son to the academy, and he
came NJ and voted as his father wanted him

worthy of considerable attention.
