"reminiscences. The races may be closely
contested and split up in the most be-
wildering manner, still they fail to
arouse the electrical burst of applause
that follows an unprecedented or even
sensational performance. In this re-
Spect many of the trOtting meetings
during the past few years have been
palpably weak, for while they signaliZed
the appearance of many star performers
they failed to come up to the free-fOr-all
standard, and left that important event
q hollow victory for one or two horses
each season. The first part of the
present season proved no exception
to the rule, but after Gene Smith
and Harry Wilkes met at P0ughkeepsie
and Hartford the public looked forward
to renewal of the championship strug-
giles in which Lucy, Goldsmith Maid.

i Difference Between Full Blood
and Thoroughbred.


and thoroughbred.
SAYS a correspondent of the National
Stockman: In popular language full
blood and thoroughbred are used as
synonyms; when used in reference to
horses there is a well-defned difference
between them which it would argue ig-
norance to neglect. \ full blood is one
in whose veins there is no admiXture or
stain of any other blood but the Span
ism. while thoroughbred is the out
come of long line Of ancestors which,
beginning with pure blood, have been
so cOnSummately nodded by man TO a
special purpose that this last and fin
ished product is, so to speak, incapable
of bearing or begetting a prog
eny different from itself. While
these ought TO be, and with accurate
thinkers are, the definitions of the two
words, in popular usage they are not.
All lions, tigers and other animals in a
state of nature are full blOOdS-pure
blOOdS-that is, they are average types
of their respective races: but not all of
them are thOrOughbreds; not all are SO
even in all their qualities and so sound
in constitution as to be able to produce
progeny up to the level of the race
weeded out by natural selection; they
are Informed, weak or la cking in cum
ming, and they perish in the struggle
for life. leaving the best individuals be-
hind to perpetuate the race. Under a
state of domesticati0n in which man
seeks to preserve all the types of the
race, good and bad. he must himself
conduct this selection of breeders. Every
lions whelp is a full blood, but that
simple fact does not prove that every
whelp of the litter will have stamina
enough to become Il prolific and valua-
BILE producer of its kind. Pedigree is
like long train of cars; it runs with
strong momentum, and il runs straight.
An animal without pedigree, originating
yesterday, is like single car; it rocks
to and fro, 1t is liable to swing off the
track. | mean by pedigree here the
combined forces or value of pure blood,
constitutional yigor and prepOtency
trained to certainty. Breeders like to
claim for their faYoTite stock something
akin to papal infallibility. But this as
sertion cannot stand. Own brothers in
a family disprOve it every day by their
radical differences.

BOSTON BASE BALL.
Nichols VIII Sign With the Former
Manager.

BosToN, Oct. 27.-Frank G. Selee
signed contract ON Friday to manage
the Boston base ball club next season.
1t is stated that the alleged purchase by
the Cincinnati club of the release OF
Pitcher Nichols, of the Omahas. has
fallen through and that Nichols will
sign with Boston. John H. Morrill,. as
agent for the proposed brotherhood club
in Boston, has secured sixty-daays re-
fusal of four-acre lot on Huntington
avenue for base ball park. President
Soden said. in an interview, that the
Boston triumvirs are not backing the
brotherhood; that he is not at all wor-
ried by brotherhood schemes: that he
would like to see Brooklyn and Cincin-
natl in the league, but no other aSSocia-
ton cities; that he is inclined to think
the brotherhood players can be legally
held by the reserve rule, and that the
Boston club will do business at the old
stand next season with good. strong
club under Manager Seize, brotherhood
or M krOt hprhOOn
