Second heat-Little Eva trotted another
good mile though pressed at the finish by
Present. who finished a close second The
struggle was between these and Lady Rock
Vile, the field struggling. Time 1928, the
fastest mile ever made by green horse in a
three minute race.
Third heat-Little Eva led easily, with
Present second, and Lady Rockville third.
Time. 2.33a.
A protest was entered against Little EN-
ma, it being represented that as Emma b,
she got record of 2271 at Mystic four years
ago.
For the 2.27 race six horses came out and
the excitement ran high for the field was
made up of trotters like;
Cunard, gr., A. X. Perkins. Skowhegan.
81. Lawrence. b; g. Chas. Dustin. Plttsneld.
Cushn0c. bl. s., j. Fl. Grant, Augusta.
DIR. Smith, sp. g., G. M. Records Buckfeld.
Kate. ch. M, F. c. Watts, Norridgewock.
After repeated scoring they got the word
in good position. Cushnoc broke at the
start and it cost him the heat as st. Law
nose for the mile, and though finishing sec
ond, was given the heat. 1t was fine exhi-
bition of trotting, but the gelding won, and
more, got record in 80. thus adding an
other to the list of Maine bred horses.
I'd heat-This was fighting heat through
out. Kate went to the front pressed by
Cunard, Jr At the half these two with ST.
Lawrence are side by side and hold so at
three-quarters, which Is passed in 1.52. The
mare trotted without skip finishing a nose
in front in 2.31.
Third Heat-This proved another fast
heat and surprise to the crowd. Cunard,
Jr., presses Kate and goes to the at the quar-
ter in 81. At the half Cunard. Jr. Kate,
Cushnoc and st. Lawrence were side by
side, and the sight was rich one. Cunard
broke away and won by length in 2.29 "a,
thus putting a second Maine horse into the
charmed circle in this race. This is good
record for the track and veriies the prede-
tions made by us when announcing the
races.
Fourth Heat-This was but repetition of
the third. only faster by quarter of a sec
ond. Fres Trade was good second, but the
son of Cunard won in 2291.
Fifth heat, 2.27 class-In this, as in the
last two. Cunard, Jr., proved winner
though only proving his wonderful staying
qualities. Cushnoc, while speeding fast,
somehow stepped on his fore foot or STUN
bled and broke his leg below the ankle Joint.
1t will result in his destruction, though at
tempts may be made to save.
Fully fifteen hundred people were on the
grounds.
The following is the summary:

A Remarkable Volcano.
Fromthe Guatamala Star.

Fromthe Guatamala Star.
The City of San Salvador, the capital
of the smallest and most populous Cen
trail American Republic, was founded in
1923. 1t has been three times almost
entirely, and eleven times partially, de-
stroyed by earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions. 1t is eighteen miles from the
sea coast, has an elevation OF $500 feet,
and is surrounded by a group of volca-
noes, two of which are active, San Mig
uel and Izalce, and present magniti-
cent display to the passengers of steam
ers sailing along the coast, constantly
discharging masses of lava which flow
down their sides in blazing torrents
ton occurring like the beating of q
mighty pulse, every seven minutes. It
is impossible to conceive of a grander
spectacle than this monster, rising 1000
feet almost directly from the sea, an i'm
mense volume OF smoke like plume
continually pouring out of its summit
and broken with such regularity by
masses of flame rising 900 feet, that It
has been named FL Faro del Salvador
the lighthouse of Salvador. It is in
many respects the most remarkable
volcano in the world, because it's dis
charges have continued so long and
with such regularity, and because the
tumult in the earth's bowels is always to
be heard. It's explosions are constant,
and are audible a hundred miles off. It
is the only volcano that has originated
on this continent since the discovery by
Columbus. 1t arose from the plain in
the spring OF ITO, in the midst of what
had been for nearly hundred years

A Dog Taught to Steal.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
A "dog-thief" is one of the latest of
Partisan queer things and curiosities.
Last week big Newfoundland dog went
into large shop or store near the Bas-
tile, and, after having prospected
around" for some time, selected a bun
die of shooting jackets, seized them be-
tween his teeth and made off with them.
The hue and cry was raised, and the
spectacle presented by the hunt was of
the most animated character. Half
the staff = of the store, accom-
panied by d 100 or so small
boys and several policemen pursued
the canine purloiner until he was
brought to bay. The bundle was duly
recovered, and the dog was marched
off to the police station, preparatory to
his removal to and probably permanent
fixture in the pound" AS several
tradesmen had complained that the
dog had already been round their way
for predatory purposes. the conclusion
was arrived at that the animal must have
been trained to thievery by some of
the "Fagans'' of the Faubourg St. An
tome.

A Plague of Tigers in Java.

According to the administration re-
port of Java recently laid before the
Dutch Chambers, portions OF that island
are being depopulated through the tig-
ers. In 1882, the population of viii
lage in the southwest Of the Bantam
province was removed and transferred
to an island off the coast in consequence
of the trouble caused to the people by
tigers. These animals have now be-
come an intolerable pest in parts of the
same province. The total population is
about 100000, and in 1887 sixty -one
were killed by tigers. and in conse-
quence of the dread existing among the
people, it has been proposed to deport
the inhabitants Of the villages most
threatened to other parts of the coun-
try where tigers are not SO common,
and where they can pursue their agri-
cultural occupations with greater de-
gree of safety. At present they fear to
go anywhere near the borders of the
forest. The people at present seem
dlsinclined, or they lack the means and
courage, to attack and destroy their
enemy, although considerable rewards
are offered by the government for the
destruction of beasts of prey. In 1883
the reward for killing royal tiger was
raised to POO forms. It appears also
that the immunity of the tiger is in part
due to superstition, for it is considered
wrong to kill one unless he attacks first
or otherwise does injury. Moreover,
guns were always very rare in this par
ticular district, and, since rising a
few years ago, have been taken away by
the authorities altOpother
