horses, tandems, four-in-hand teams,
cobs, ponies, saddle-horses, fire engine
horses, and police horses. The National
Trotting Association offers a special
prize for the best standardized stall
lion; w. X. Vanderbilt will give either
money or plate to the owner of the best
hackney stallion, and the Central-Park
Riding Club has subscribed for testl-
monial to the owner OF the best jumper
ridden by an amateur, professionals
being barred.
The American Pony Association is in
the field with equally attractive offers,
and Theodore A. Hsvemeyer has placed
at the disposal of the association two
prizes, which the most expert drivers in
the metropolis will do their level best to
win. One is for "the best performance
OF professional coachman driving pair
of horses to four wheeled trap. and the
other for 1.-THE best performance of pro-
fessional eoachman driving four-in-hand
either park or road team" These offers
will result in a display of dexterity in
handling the ribbons such as is rarely
seen. The difficulty of finding judges
entirely above the suspicion Of local
partially hos been recognized. One of
the accepted London authorities on
"good form" in turnouts has been in
duced 10 come over and serve, so that
the imported jockey of two years ago Is
matched BY the imported judge Of this
year. Nothing is surer than that some
exceedingly exciting incidents will en-
liven this years display. In 1888 serious
disasters were narrowly averted. All
possible precautions are taken, but the
element of danger cannot be entirely
eliminated, and many of the amateur
riders will go into the jumping contests
against the protests and persuasions OF
anxious mammas. There viii be some
pretty spectacles, too, but 1t will be diff
ficult to match the one presented two
years ago, when Miss Carrie Jackson, Of
Jamaica, T.. l., dainty and self-pos-
sessed little six-year-old, drove her

But the dear Master came one day
My gem to take.

give their progeny added value. Some

some equine marvel has been hidden
away somewhere for disclosure at the

and, in moro senses OF the word than
in its literal ncceptstion, was the no.
bic animal royal gift. When
the doors OF the Garden are opened
the stalls reserved for trotters
will be occupied by horses, almost any
one of which represents III its market
value enough 10 make a poor man rich.
They will come from the stables Of John
II. Shultz, Colonel Kip. Jacob Ruppert,
and other wealthy men, and many OF
them will display formidable pedigrees.
This matter of pedigree is regarded as
being of supreme importance by the
association. 1t is distinctly stipulated
that each owner shall in advance file
with the secretary the pedigrees OF the
horses ne exhibits.
Every man in New York who follows
the hounds will be in the Garden when
the jumping record is again assailed. 1t
is very generally believed that it is
destined to 0e lowered once more. Leo
will not be heard from and File Maker
must rest content with the laurels he
has already won. The conviction is
that the contest, after a few trials, will
narrow down to Ontario and Roseberry,
These horses are being specially pre-
pared for the fray, and good judges are
not mistaken if another inch Is not
added to the standard set by Gebhardts
horse and its formidable competitor
In order to be qualified for entry the
horses must have been hunted regularly
for at least two seasons with some recog-
nized pack of hounds. With what are
called "green" hunters the case is diff
ferent. They are ineligible if they have
won prize at any of the associations
shows or if they have been hunted re-
gularly with any pack of hounds

their business. They will develop fierce
rivalry for first honors, and all
that unlimited means can do in this
direction will DO done. Many New
York butchers have sstonishingly large
bank accounts and can well afford to
spend money literally in the hope of
obtaining the coveted blue ribbon. The
winner will be regarded as the king of
the market. If Id. Stokes enters Devil
and Erebus these handsome animals
will come very near duplicating their
success two years ago. All that has
been said, and more that might be said,
would still fall short of conveying
complete idea of what the association has
to offer for the admiration Of the metro
politan public, but sufficient has been
set forth TO explain why the exhibition
is awaited with some Impotence, and
WHY it will exceed in lustre the most
brilliant Of its predecessors.

ALEXANDRIA, November s, 1890.
There has for some time been an under
current here occasionally appearing At the
surface, tending in n direction for the Sc
cession of Alexandria from Virginia and
accession to the Federal District, which
IL left some forty years ago.
1t was welcomed by the Old Dominion
with open arms, and nearly twelve mil
lions of dollars were lavished by the COM
monwealth In subscriptions to railways,
which had for their object the improve
ment of Alexandria by the upbuilding of
that section of the State which could be
made tributary TO its commerce.
POLITICAL SUICIDE.
The suicide of manhood involved in this
change Of conditions from the political
freedom of an American voter to the slayish
seryitude of hanger-on about the capital
Is perhaps the worst feature of the pro-
posed movement, for men cannot be made
to realize in this case that the weakness of
Alexandria would be made the prey of the
power of Washington, to which this COM
munity would be delivered without hep or
hope.
AS an Offset to this movement away from
the Commonwealth an agitation viii be
begun in favor Of the extension of the
boundaries of the city of Alexandria.
THE BoUNDARIEs.
During portion of the time befors our

General Washington knew Alexandra.
When we were coded TO the Distinct of

came back to Virginia in 1S47 that lire was
not removed, and it still remains q Gar TO

IL Is now proposed that the old Dund-
