CONIKHVT 50 5ON LAW.
Inspector Amos L. Allen Reports His
Observations In Regard to Il.

WASHINGTON, August 7.-Mr. Amos L.
Allen, immigrant inspector. with headquart
ers at Newport, VT, has made a report to
the Treasury Department in regard to the
operations of the alien contract labor law
along the Canadian border. he says his in
vestigations have satisfied him of the general
desire on the part of the people to comply
with the law. In many cases in which its
enforcement would work great hardships, it
serves no good purpose. The Grand Trunk
and Canadian Pacific railroads are peculiar

Nelson was foaled in 1882, and is con-
sequently seven years old. His sire, Young
Rolfe, was the splendid horse that dropped
dead on the track five years ago. While
Nelson's record of 215 made yesterday has
been surpassed by over seven seconds, 1t yet
puts him on the list of the great horses. The
trotters that have gone mile in less time
are few, and everyone of them is famous.
Sixteen years ago there was not trotting
horse in America with record so low as
that made by Nelson yesterday. Today
there are number Of horses considerable
below it. But it should be remembered that
Nelson made his record Yesterday in a race,
which is quite different thing from record
made trotting against time. Maud S. is the
fastest tr0tter in America but in race she
has never trotted mile in less than 213l,
her record made in 1880; and that is only a
second and half better than Nelson did
yesterday 1t was trotting against time
that Maud S made in 1885 the worlds great
est trOtting record, mile in 2.084. The
great records, with which Nelson's has the
right to be compared are, for races:
RACES.
The Portland daily press., 1889-08-08

Several PAGERS have made more astonishing
records than these, Johnston, in 1884, for in
stance, having paced mile in 2064
The result Of today's contest makes Nelson
by far the greatest trotter Maine has pro-
duced. Old General Knox, which, although
bred In Vermont in 1855, was taken to Maine
in 1858 and made great name, perhaps
more especially as the sire of fast horses,
used to lumber over mile in 2.3la as his best
possible time.
1t was not until 1874 that there was a horse
in the country capable of trotting a mile in
2.15. The record had been gradually low
cred since 1906, when the horse
Yankee mangaged to trot mile
over short track in 2.59. In 1884 Edwin
Forrest trotted in 2 31l and In 1874 Lady
Suffolk brought the record down to 2.26a. In
1859 the famous Flora Temple lowered the
record into the teens, going mile in 2.19a.
In 1867 came another famous horse, Dexter,
and he lowered the record to 2.17t, where it
remained undisturbed until 1874, where
Goldsmith Maid put it down to 214; and
then in 1879 st. Julien came down to 2123,
and the next year to 2114. In 1884 Jay-Eye.
See trotted in 2.10; but the next year Maud
S. trotted mile in 2.0Sa, and no horse has
done hetter vet
