What Manufacturers Say.
LNeu York Herald.

There is trust in formation among
the manufacturers OF commercial fertlil-
zers. Its promoters claim that it Is near
" consummated, and that only afew de-
tails remain to be arranged before it will
be an effective working organic ltion. A
low estimated places the annual sales of
artificial fertilizers at 100000 tons or
s30,OO0,000 worth annually, and the
trade is constantly increasing.
There are about fifty large firms in
the business and four hundred small
concerns. The latter would not be
taken into the trust, and there would
probably be an effort to buy them out or
drive them ont of business-:l la Stand
ard Oil.
This i tn" programme, but there is a
large number of manufacturers, and
among them several of the most impor-
tant. who do not think it is feasible
They claim that the business is not one
which will admit Of the sources of sup
plies being controlled by any trust, how
ever powerful. To make the trust sue
ceed it would be necessary to control
the mining of all the initiate OF soda on
the west coast Of South America, the
sulphate of ammonia supply, the bone
trade, the slaughter house refuse and
the potaShes that are the monopoly OF 4
German syndicate.
IT MAY FAIL.
An attempt of this kind on small
scale lately made has failed or is doomed

BASE HITS.

Arthur Irwin, of the Phillies, emphatically
denies the statement that he will leave the
ball field at the close of the season and man
age n team.
Hank ODay has knocked out three catch
ers so far this season. The last to succumb
to his rifle shots was "Tug" Arundel.
Elmer Smith, of the Cincinuatis, in a let
ter to a friend, says that he has secured his
speedy out curve again, a ball which he lost
Turing the winter.
Buck Ewing is reported as having Charlie
horse"
Joe Quest will umpire Western association
games in the place of Brennan, released.
Mexican has been made captain of the
Clevelands, instead of Snyder.
Cleveland has decided not to engage Pitcher
Moifet, late of indianapolis.
Dickey Johnston has made more base hits
than any man in the league.
DIR. Bushong is still the star catcher of the
Association.
All the Baltimore catchers have had hands.
The Cincinnati players regard Robinson
as the best catcher in the Association.
The New York's new uniforms make them
look much taller than the old loose ones.
Ewing resembles Arson at a first glance, and
the men all look somewhat bowlegged.
The American association will cover itself
with glory If it repeats the obnoxious player
umpire rule.
Gleason and Bauer are the best sacrifice
hitters in the Athletic team.
Childs, late of Charleston, has signed with
Sandusky.
The Chicago club has sold pitcher Brynan
to st. Paul for $1,000.
Arthur Whitney has made a valuable man
for the Giants.
President Soden says his team cannot hit
n balloon.
There is not n ball ground in the country
kept in better condition than the Athletic
ground. The grass is always moved and the
diamond is handled with as much care as a
parlor. Superintendent John Ryan has
every reason for feeling proud of his work
and the Athletic management are very fort
innate in having such an industrious and
painstaking superintendent.
An eastern paper says that, inspired by the
success of Shortstop Wards work on base
ball, Capt. Arson is writing an essay on
eth Mouth as an Element of Success in
Our National Game" That is only partially
true. Thu captains essay is entitled Ball
Without Bats. n1Chicago Herald.

10 make victory hopeless. He ran unsuccess-
fully in half a dozen quarter mile handicaps,
won in less than 4S seconds, and
finally managed to scramble through twenty
opponents, some of whom purposely hindered
him, and win from scratch in As 2-5 seconds.
He remained in Sydney a year longer than
had been intended, hoping that some man
would be found to give him n level race, but
no one of the hundred aspirants ran a salts
factory trial, and he came away with Aus
trnlia's fastest men asking seven yards in a

developed several fast men, and it is probable
that some of them will not be satisfied until
they have tested themselves against the

Amos Cross, who recently died at his home

Mr.. Bonner has not yet decided to start the
queen against 2:0S4 for a cup. Intelligent
opinion agrees that on a good day the great
mare can beat her record at Buffalo.
The recent breaking down of the horse
Grover Cleveland at Monmouth was surpris-
ing. The horse has had "A quarter crack for
a year past, but he was deemed sound in his
legs and was rapidly getting into form. Be
fore the race Mr.. Storm, his owner, told a
representative of The Spirit of the Times:
"My horse ought to win today. In fact, he
has shown so much better of late that l shall
not go TO Saratoga, but will remain here and
take my chances" In the race Cleveland
and Fitzroy made "a duel of it from the start.
They cut out such a great pace that at tho
backstretch they had u big gap opened on
the others. Then Fitzroy seemed to have
had enough, and as they made the Oceanport
turn Cleveland drew away amid cheers from
his hackers, who saw he had the race won.
The cheers had hardly died away when the
horse was seen to stop, and Donohue dis
mounted. A rush was made to the spot.
Cleveland had split his Off fore pas
tern joint. Many horses have split their
pasterns and have been saved by setting the
joint in plaster of paris. Grover Cleveland
was probably the best sprinter on the Pacific
coast, and was taken to New York in April
last by Mr.. Storm for the purpose of start
ing for the Brooklyn and Suburban handi-
caps He never seemed to have recovered
his speed until the last few weeks.
The time recently made by Belle Hamlin
on the Buffalo track of 1:O2b Qast quarter
81 seconds), was a terrific flight of speed
AS soon as Belle Hamlin learns to carry the
speed, says The Turf, Field and Farm, she
will trot a great mile. She is almost certain
to lower this season her record of 2:l39%.
The track at Buffalo has been improved until
now it probably is the fastest in the country;
still it requires a first class horse to go to tho
half mile pole, on any kim of a track, in
l:02H. Mr.. Hamlin has taken lessons in
shooting from Mr.. Bonner.

BEATING HER OWN RECORD.

The Recent Performance Of
Maud S. at Fleetwood Park-Collapse of
the Horse Grover CleveIand-BeIIe Ham
lin and Her Burst Of Speed at Buffalo.
The queen of the turf grows better from
year to year, thanks to the excellent care
given to her feet and legs. Recently Mr..
Bonner drove Maud S. to wagon up to Fleet
wood and Murphy then had her hooked to
sulky and gave her some preparatory work.
Two miles were trotted, the first merely a
jog; First-:37H, 1:13%, 1:5O11, 2:26; second
-:32K, 1:OI, 1:3sH, 2:l3H.
Five watches made the second mile 2:12%,
and a sixth watch made it 2:12A. 1t is the
fastest mile ever trotted at Fleetwood, n
track which, on account of its stiff grades
and sharp turns, is VIGOROUSLY slow. In the
latter part of June, 1884, when owned by
Mr.. Vanderbilt, Maud S. was started at Fleet
wood to beat the 2:14 of Trinket, and her
time was 2:18&. This, up to her recent
performance, was the fastest mile ever
trotted on the track. The chestnut mare has
twice lowered her record since she passed
into the stable of Mr.. Bonner, at Lexington
in the autumn of 1854 to 2:09H, and at Cleve-
land in the summer OF 1885 to 2:OS9l. Thus
