Inherited
Diseases.

In the realm of disease tho facts Of In
heritance are most numerous and are daily
accumulating. Here, alas. they become ter
rible, fateful and overwhelming. No fact of
nature is more pregnant with awful mean
ing than the fact OF the inheritance OF
disease. 1t meets the physician on his daily
rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him
with dismay. The legend OF tho ancient
Greeks pictures tho Furies as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. Tho Furies still
ply their work of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed in tho gsrb OF supersti-
tion but appear In tho moro intelligible but
no less awful form Of hereditary disease.
Modern science. which has illuminated SO
many dark corners OF nature. has shed
new light on the eminous words of tho
Scriptures, "The sins OF the fathers shall be
visited upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation" Instances Of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent. OF cases OF
consumption, that fearful destroyer of famf-
lies, Of cancer and gcrofula, run In families
through Inheritance. Insanity ts hereditary
in marked degree, but, fortunately, liko
many other hereditary diseases, tends to
wear Itself out, the stock becoming extinct.
distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture of the body is exempt from
the chance Of being tho subject of hereditary
disease" Probably more chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
and functions of the boCy, are more or les.
liable 60 be inherited. The important and
far-reaching practical deductions from such
facts-afrecting SO powerfully the happiness
Of individuals and families snd the collective
welfare OF tho nation-nre obvious to reflec-
ttng minds, and the best means for prevent
ing or curing these diseases 10 a subject OF
intense interest to all. Fortunately nature
has provided a remedy, which experiences
has attested rs infallible. and the remedy Is

2:3O. Besides producing these fast ones,
Nutwood himself is a race horse and
has a record of 2:1S$l. Good horsemen
predict that he will head the list as a
Sire of trotters. This prediction is
based partly on the fact that he IS a
trotter and producer of tr0tters, and
partly on the fact that he has passed
into the hands of MessrS. Stout, where
he will have access to a very superior
class Of brood mares.

Another Pacing Wonder.

KNAPP Mccarthy is very much taken
with the young pacing wonder he has
picked up at Los Angeles, Cal, and
thinks he hasa successor to Johnston in
him. In a letter to Adam Fuchs. of
Pittsburg. he says this of the colt:
"To my mind, he is the coming Won
der as a PAGER. He is a three-year-old
bay gelding by Del Sur, fifteen hands
three inches high, and bears strik-
ing resemblance to Johnson, the PAGER.
His health is absolutely sound, and
more finely-gaited animal could not be
imagined. He drew his owner a quarter
in a road cart weighing 100 pounds, and
containing 80 pounds of mail i'll 3l12
seconds. When he made this wonder
full quarter he had never been on the
track, had been but six weeks from
pasture, and had never been driven
before in his life, save by his owner,
until purchased him. | think l can
drive him a quarter in 80 seconds now.
How does he suit you as PAGER"

fair to train on, as did this magnificent
colt, who was ruined in the sensational
race for the Withers stakes OF 1879.
McCloskey says IrOquIS was the most
arrogant, domineering youngster that he
ever had at Chestnut Hill. Harold was
bad enough, but Harold like jeff Davis,
simply wanted ito be let alone" Iro-
quis, however, was real devil. and
would out of pure cussedness," when
yearling seize cornStalk and go
among the other yearlingS to challenge
them to take it from him, which none OF
them dared do. The others looked up to
him and he always led their gallops,
Saunterer, BlaZes, ETC., being in the lot.
But to see Sensation lead the pack he
says was a sight worth journey. The
brown colt was ready-made race horse
when he was weaned. and, although a
bit of sluggard, he could when aroused
run clear away from the lot like a yacht
from fleet of fishing Smacks.
In regard to old bennington himself,
McCloskey says there is great misbe-
lief. People have an idea, and 1T has
been freely written, that the great horse
was veritable man-eater. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Nc
Closkey says that of course the horse,
like most stations, had vicious traits,
and was horse of great vigor and as
quick as an eel, and would show his
heels when things did not suit him;
But to those about him no horse could
have been more kind. McCloskey states
that he often went and laid down in
Leamington's box, and the horse would
come up and rub his nose all over his
(McCloskey's) face and lick 1t with his
tongue. Like men of strong dislikes he
also had his likings, and 10 those he
liked he was the most amiable and af-
fectionate Of horses. McCloskey thinks
there is no such strain as the Leaning
tons were. They had light bodies, good
legs, perfect action, and lightning
burst of speed.

AMERICAN TRoTTERsABRoAD
Purses and Stakes Are at Their
Mercy.


American trotters in Europe are be-
comming more prominent every year,
and at the present rate it will only be a
season or two until they practically have
all the purses and stakes on the other
side of the Atlantic at their mercy.
When the firstlight-harness horses were
taken ncrosS the ocean from this side it
was with the idea that they could win
the races given in France for trotters,
and there were also at that time some
minor events contested every summer
in Austria and Germany. These were
generally won by French and Russian
horses. The CuSsian trotter is general
Nv member of the 0rlOff family,
horse that. in many respects, resembles
our Morgan, as the OrlOf1s are general
ly trappy fellows with plenty of action
and a fair amount of speed, the
best of them being able to show
q $50 gait. The French trotter is
a combination of thoroughbred and
draft horse, and the speed shown is
never remarkable. The races there are
generally long-distance ones, and the
first people who came over here to buy
trotterS made the mistake of selecting
horses on account of their records, and
not for what they could do at the time
of sale The result of this was that a
lot of WORKOUT trotterS that could not
beat anything over here were sold to
European parties at long prices. But
now ii is different. The Italians have
taken Il good many trotters from here,
and have always been careful to buy
only animals that could show them
speed, although in at least one instance
they made the mistake of shipping
toe-weight trotter to Europe. At pre-
sent Molly Wilkes. daughter of Young
Jim, is the crack trotter of all Europe.
Not long ago she trOtted mile at
Vienna in 2.203i, and later adviceS are
to the effect that she has continued her
successful campaign, not having been
beaten this season. Her best mile
of late was 22514, but the talk
over there is that she is even
faster now than when she went
so well at Vienna. Molly Wilkes is
owned by an American who lives IN
Paris and likes trottng well enough to
send to this country for several good
ones. He objected to the French style
of races, however, the tracks over
which they have trotted being little bet
ter than plOwed fields, and that is why
Molly Wilkes has been trotting all her
races outside of France. Next spring
she will meet new competitor from
this side, the latest shipment to Europe
being RoSemont, 2:2314, that has been
purchased by Col. Livingstone, an
American gentleman who is living in
Frankfort, Germany, and who wants to
take a hand in the trotting, of which
there is lot in that country. The Ger
mans took Lynnwood, Silverleaf,
Gladys, Hambleton and lot of other
good trotters from us a couple of years
ago, and they are really further ad-
vanced in the art of training and driv-
ing trotters than any other European
people. One reason that Molly Wilkes
has gone so well is the fact that she is
trained and driven by an American
jockey, the artists in the sulky who are
native to the other side of the ocean,
not being able to class with their COM
petitorS who come from America.

Stories Told by a Veteran Stud
Groom,

While on a visit to Erdenheim last
week, John McCloskey, the veteran
stud groom, told many tale of the
cracks bred at that historic farm, where
he has presided for nearly twenty years.
Probably most people would expect Nc
Closkey to answer IroQuois if asked
which was the most promising yearling
that ever left his hands. But he says
Sensation was, by long odds, the grand
est mover that ever galloped over the
Erdenheim paddockS. This is not sur
prising to all those who saw Sensation
on the course, as he was the grandest
mover we ever saw. But MeCloskey
did surprise us when he added that
Harold was about the worst mover. ae
says Harold, while bodily perfection,
was very slow in getting away, ana gal
loped short; but, as we all know, he
soon got out of tina. when in training,
