The Red Hungarians discoursed their

gathering vas a very brilliant affair,
representative of literature and the
arts. Novelists were plentiful, some of
them looking strangely different from
their books. There were few poets,
but, as you are aware, the race is dying
out. l think that it is the high, stiff
collars that are killing off sentiment in
the manly breast. The great charm of
these meetings is seeing succession of
celebrities pass ones seat; but the
worst of it is that, after the evening is

TOM HAL,
Che Sire of Little Brown jug, Is
Dead


He was roam stallion, foaled in 1862.
and got by Kittrells Tom Hal, PAGER,
out of Julia Johnson, by Adams Stump,
and she out of Julia, saddle mare, by
a horse called Whip. Adams Stump
was roam, used under the saddle, and
he was from the loins of Stump the
Dealer, thoroughbred son of Timoleon.
The blood of Stump the Dealer figures
prominently in other trotting and pac-
ing families of Tennessee. Tom Hal
had great muscular power and courage,
and he won fame in the stud by getting
such great SidewheelerS as Little
Brown jug and Brown Hal. The turf
career of Little Brown jug, who is now
owned by the estate of the late COmmo-
dOre KittSon, commenced at Nashville,
In October, 1879, and it was at Hartford,
in August, 1881, that he paced the
famous race against Matte Hunter and
Lucy, winning in 2:11$, 2:1l24, 2:12115.
PAGER became the property OF the late
Commodore Kittson. Brown Hal, the
brother of Little Brown jug, is owned
at Ewell farm, in Maury county, Ten
neSsee, and he was prominent circuit
winner in 1856. In the fall of 1887 he
paced mile at Lexington in 2:13, and
has since then been used in the stud.
He has also been trained to trot, and is
fast at that style of going. Cooper's
jug, another brother, paced a three
year-old trial in 2:2S. Tom Hal left his
mark in Tennessee, and in the years to
come his blood will be found in many
track winners. The roam stallion died

the central incident in when the Ship

Mr.. Haggard made his first score in
his new line of work with Dawn in
1882; but it was King Solomon's
Mines, published in 1856, which won
him his vogue, 1000 copies being sold
in the home country within the first
year, while thirteen competing editions
appeared mot all to the authors profit
in America. She followed soon after
rivaled the sales of its immediate predel
cessor, and the success of these two res
called attention of his earlier novels!
Mr.. Haggard still practices law, as we'll
as writes fiction, and does not propose
to permit his head to be turned by his
sudden and worldwide success. =

The Turf, Field and Farm on
the Sale Of So So--A
High Price.

The total receipts of the trottlng and
pacing meeting, held at Midway last
week by the Twin City club, show that
they will not defray the expenses. The
deficit, so far as can be judged at pres
ent, will be quite small, still the fact
remains that the meeting did not pay.
The day after the Fourth Of July, the
president of the association expressed
the opinion that there would be a sur
plus left after paying all expenses. lie
did not expect that this surplus would
be large, but sufficient ''to render it un-
necessary for us to 60 down in our pock-
cts" One of the days after the Fourth
was threatening and the races were
postponed. When the meeting
was renewed, afterwards, the at
tendance was very small. Mr..
Oswald was miSled by the crowds of the
opening day and the Fourth. These
were two good days and he naturally
supposed that the attendance would
continue. The management is not at
fault for this result. The races were
excellent, the purses large, and the
horses that came here to contest were
some of the best in the United States.
The fact is the people went elsewhere.
There are, at this season OF the year,
great many attractions out of town.
Among the principal ones is the great
number of lakes to which sweltering
humanity perspiring fees in JOY,

BILE. The fact that the expenses
of the meeting exceeded the receipts,
will have no weight or influence to pre-
vent the annual meeting next year.
The organization is IN the hands of re-
sponsible business men, who will con-
duct the races Oh business principles.
The loss of a few hundred dollars at
this annual meeting does not weigh with
them at all. They look to bigger things.
They regard it important for the breed
Ing interests of the commonwealth that
annual contests of speed should be had.
This being the principle upon which
they stand, the failure or success OF any
single meeting will have no weight.
Next year quite as liberal purses will be
offered and quite as interesting races
will be had.

A HlGH-PRICED MARE.
the Turf. Field and Farms Opin-
ion of the Sale of $3.50.


Turf, Field and Farm.
On the 18th of October, 1877, $3.50,
then two years old, trotted at Lexing-
Ington, driven by Crit Davis, mile in
2:31, and as she broke the record for
that age, the telegraph spred her fame
all over the country. Aug. 26. 1881,
when six years old, $3.50 reduced her
record to 2:l74, and soon after passed
into the breeding stud of Commodore
n. W. Kittson, of st. Paul. She is bay
mare, foaled in 1875, bred by ii. NJ.
Bowman, of Kentucky, and got
by George Wilkes, out of Little
Ida, by Alexander Edwin For

by Red Jacket, sire of the dam of Ken
tucky Wilkes, 2:214. $3.50 was pro-
ductive four times at Midway Park. In
1884 she dropped All So, bay colt, by
Blackwood, Jr; in 1856, Reve-So, bay

to last week Reina Victoria. by Ham,

seer, and she out of Clara, dam of Dex-
ter, held the record. +. Seacord, of
Galesburg, H., paid S7,025 for her at the
great Glenview sale, Oct. H. 1856. Capt.
Phil Kidd, who cried the bids at Mid
way Park, was the Glenview auction
eer, and in so far as he is concered he
has simply surpassed his own record.
Mr.. Stout. the present owner of So So,
paid S22, 900 for Nutwood at the Glen

the great daughter of George Wilkes
will be bred to the great son of Belmont
and Miss Russell.

THE SENSATIONAL NOVEL {"
What III. Rider Haggard Has Ac.
cOmplished in this Direction.

II. Rider Haggard is, according to
Harper's BaZar, one of the very few
men who have come to the front within
the last decade, sharing with the late
T. j. FarguS c'Hugh Conway'O that
distinction, and the success which
awaits fiition of striking incident and
novel;" Mr. Haggard is Norfolkshire
man, little past thirty, living during the
winter in Kensington, but really at home
at buckingham house, Bungay, in his
native county. Before he was twenty
he went to Natal with Sir Henry Bulwer
as his secretary, and, after the anneXa-
tion of the Transvaal, was appointed
master of the high court for the new
colony. In this South African service
he had some stirring personal adven-
lures, which probably gave direction to
his fiction later. He began writing,
however. with book of political history
on CetewayO and His White NeighbOrs,
published in 1882.
His own preference is for work of this
solid, matter-of-fact order, but desiring
to adopt the profession of literature iu
addition to that of barriSter. he learned
promptly that this did not meet the
market or afford the physical basis of
the literary life, and so addressed him
self to fiction, his own theory of work
being, as he once put it in letter to a
friend, that 1.-The more closely you stick
to the main facts and salient passions of
human nature, with which all the world
is familiar, the better it will be for youo
work; and the more you can contrive te
throw veil of beauty and romance
over the crudities and cruelties of the
tragedy of our lives, by so much the
more will it be pleasant, acceptable,
and perhaps in some degree instructive
to Others"
Mr.. Haggard is hard worker, though
writing as well as talking with rapid
fluency. and he both CLEANS and invents
the incidents of his stories. Probably
the criticisms of plagiarism brought
against his early books have caused him
to be careful to credit the authorities
he uses, since his recent story, ALLAN
Quatermain," is prefaced by state
ment of what may be termed his prefa-
tory course of reading. The use or
adaptation of actual incident is scarcely
to be accounted literary sin, and how
closely different minds may run in in
Yention is illustrated by Mr. Besant's

Scarce they heed the ploughman

With many a tuneful twitter
And many flashing wing!
Blue and black and golden,
Gray and red and brown,

Turn for another furrow,
Yet along the row;

How they rise and go

Till the field is ploughed.

AROUND THE WORLD.
MADAGASCAR.

Written for FISHERMAN & FARMER.
During the last few days of our
stay in Batavia we were kept very
busy preparing for long sea voyage
across the Indian Ocean. AT 8 A. M,
December 22d, 1883, we hove up
anchor and left Batavia, Java, under
steam. About six months previous
to this date a terrible volcanic erup-
ton had occurred in Java, the whole
of Java heads about IS miles of the
island had sank, with loss of $4,000
lives; seven rocky islands had sprung
up in the Straits of Sunda. AS we
entered Sunda Straits we encoun
tered large fields of pumice stone and
ashes which had been thrown up
during the recent eruption. The
straits was covered with Jumps OF
pumice stone, some OF them very
large pieces. We were all very
anxious to secure pieces as relics, and
we managed to secure several pieces.
The facts that We have related con-
cerning this eruption are aswe heard
them while at Batavia. The papers
of the United States at that time
contained a graphic account of the
catastrophe. And nearly 5000 miles
from the scene of the eruption we
saw pieces ofthe pumice stone float
ing on the ocean. About A. M, on
the 73d, we entered the Indian ocean
and shaped our course for Madagas
car, distance about 1860 miles.
Christmas day came in bright and
very warm; how different from our
Christmas at home! Some of us had
hung up our stocking the night
before but received no presents, as
old father Neptune will not allow
Santa Clause to invade his domains.
We had while in port provided for
this day, and although we were at
sea several hundred miles from land
we had a regular Christmas dinner,
but instead of turkeys we had chick
ems and ducks. And as we sat down
to the table our thoughts were across
two oceans to the dear ones at home
who no doubt were thinking OF us as
they sat down to their Christmas
dinner. The day was observed by
divine service during the morning.
We had a very pleasant passage
across the Indian ocean, nothing to
break the monotony Of the voyage
except several water spouts which we
saw about three miles away. We
did not see land or sail until the
morning of January 18th, 1884, We
sighted the coast of Madagascar.
On our arrival at Tamatave, which
IS the principal sea port town, we
