all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed the trac

Now how could these ignorant people
have given points in 200 for a record of
29a when Busbey and Coleman had in
structed the world that points in $50 was
the correct thing for record of 2:29?
And how In the name of reason could
they award points in 200 for one per-
former in 2 80 when the same giant
intellects had brought forth that 3 points
in $50 was the proper measure for two
performers materially below that figure?
1t is true that preiudiced people will con-
tinue to claim that these last awards are
far too small on these points; but they
must be sat upon till they see otherwise.
And any one who attempts to suggest
that the change is in the direction of
fairness and that the scale as last
applied would have given Ben Franklin D
points instead of for performance and
8 instead of for character of off
spring, and that the II added points
would have made him 126, or 3 points
ahead of Naaman, the winner. and that
this was Just the result that the COM
mittee was figuring to avoid, must be
sienced. 1t must be admitted, however,
that a large amount of explanation will
yet be required to stop the mouths of the
multitude of people who ever since the
awards at that New England Fair were
published, have stubbornly insisted that
the committee were either knaves or
fools

the shutting off of the lights, leaving

He says there is no way of effectually
insulating against the powerful currents

WARREN, MORGAN ETHAN, CLAIRE.

w. Il. Chester in the Turf, Field and
Farm of Sept. p, gives the following
account of the trotting of Warren at
Fleetwood, Sept. 20: "a good word
should be said for Warren in connection
with this race. He was very short of
work, and could not finish his miles up
to his turn of speed, but in the first three
heats he led to the three-quarter pole,
and finished we'll up. His fractional
time was for the first heat, to the three
quarter pole, 34t, :09, :46; for the
second heat, :35, :O9a, :46; and for the
third heat, :35, :09a, :464. He looked
all over a winner of the race, and will
yet distinguish himself, being but five
years old. His performance was equiva-
lent to three heats in 2 30, on a good
day and track, badly as he did fail on
the homestretch."
The Mirror and Farmer has the fol-
lowing items in its issues of Sept. 26 and
Oct. 10:
j. X. Pines stallion, Morgan Ethan,
got some honors at the recent Albany
meeting. Pyrmont trotted in 2 1891 to
beat 2 :35, and the colt Bonus put in a
half in 26 to beat 80.
The blood of Daniel Lambert is found
among the trotters of Minnesota. At the
State fair the chestnut gelding Ben Lam
bert won the 2 As class and trotted in
2 :344.
Mr.. E. w. Holden of Langdon, this
State, furnishes the following bit of
history concerning the New Hampshire
bred mare Claire, who has become noted
this year as being the dam of Faust,
three-year-old record 2:lS4, by Florida
"Claire was fOaled in the little town of
Langdon, N. H., the property of F. M.
Wetherbee, the owner of her sire Bay
ard by Pilot Jr. Her dam was gray
mare formerly owned and driven by DR..
Kittridge of Keene, n. Fl. She was call
ed Lady Kittridge and both trotted and
or track handling. Claire was used bare
footed to saddle in driving the farm
stock, and went all gaits until shod with
extra toe weights, when she surprised
her owner with her easy and rapid nat
ural trot. She was sold to j. F. Mer-
row, now proprietor of Revere House,
Boston, who sold her to one Patterson
and again to u. E. Simmons of Lexing-
,hA OF
week partner in a well-known breed
ing farm near Lexington, KY, paid a
visit to Mr.. Wetherbee's farm and show
ed his appreciation of the blood of Pilot
Jr., in the selection of twelve brood
mares by Bayard, which will be shipped
to Kentucky this week. Mr.. Wetherbee
has thorough knowledge of horse
breeding, is we'll known among horse
breeders in the Western States, where he
now owns stock and is an earnest advo-
cate of Pilot blood New Hampshire
claims the honor of breeding Claire, dam
of the phenomenal colt trotter Faust,
2:ls1." Our friend "Warren" of Lynn
makes another contribution about Claire
as follows: "Clsire, the dam of Faust,
three-year-old record of .2:lSi, was bred
and raised by F. Nj. Wetherbee of Lang
don, n. III. AS a colt Claire was not of
much account; she passed from the
hands of Mr.. Wetherbee to John F. Mer-
row of Boston, and by him was sold to
George w. Rogers of Salem, Mass.
She then came into Mr.. MerrOw's hands
the second time and he gave her num-
Der of races and record Of 2:3l, which
she could easily have beaten. While

THE SIOUX COMMISSION.

At Pine Ridge the situation remains
almost unchanged. The commission is
meeting with great deal of opposition
from Red Cloud, Little Wound and
Young -Man-Afraid- of His Horses. The
latter at one time talked favorably to
General Crook of the bill, but now is un-
qualifiedly opposed to it.
The Indian Defense association has
written the commission requesting it to
postpone further action until ex-Inspect-
or Pollock can arrive. It is needless to
remark the commission has not granted
the request.
Gov. Foster has gone to the Santee
agency to get signatures, leaving Gener-
al Crook and Major Warner at Pine
Ridge. Five hundred signatures have
been secured at the latter place. Nearly
as many more are necessary to be OBJ
tained

The Black Hills might as well prepare
for prohibition. We, of this section of
the territory, have but faint idea of the
strength Of the prohibition movement in
the eastern portion of our new state.
Leading politicians are announcing them
selves in favor of it, thus showing that
they believe the majority of the voters
will be found on that side. Governor
Mellette, IN an address delivered in Es-
mond few days ago came out strong
for constitutional prohibition. The out
spokenness of such men means a great
deal. The Farmers alliance, recently in
session at Huron, came out fat-footed and
strong in favor of absolute prohibition
state and national. This body Of men,
alone, has a voting membership Of 50,-
900. This BODIES i'll to the whisky or
anti-prohibition party. The fight is to
be bitter and hotly contested one. The
prohibition question will be fought out
in non-partisan manner and the proba-
bilities are that, unless something unfor-
seen turns up, it will be successful by a
heavy majority. The believers in the
efficacy Of this law are enlisted for the
fight and will leave no stone unturned to
leave the field victors. We are of the
opinion that the people Of the Black
Hills will be greatly surprised at the
prohibition vote cast here on election
day. Truly the coming campaign for
South Dakota is Of momentous import
ance to our young state. Whatever CO.
ours, may 1t be for the best.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway has taken up its various mort
cages and given one big one of $3.50, O,OO0,-

of New York. Their idea for doing this
is to take up all their indebtedness at a
smaller rate of interest, to double their
track at various points and make other
improvements. These "other improve
ments' will undoubtedly turn out to be
a line from Chamberlain to the Black
Hills on the opening Of the reservation.
