shown in W stern Kansas, where the
increase is double to five times the
acreage of last year. In the northern

LEXINGTON, KY, October 25-There has
been much rain in Kentucky this week, and
trotting races have not fiourished. The VIM
chester meeting, which began Tuesday.
promised to be a big success, and the first days
contests were extra good, but the rain came on
Wednesday and spoiled all the sport. Owing
to the recent meeting here of the Trotting
Horse Breeders Association there has been a
great many transfers. the majority of the trans
actions being for highly bred stock. There
seems to be a growing disposition among buyers
to have the very best breeding obtainable, so
that instead of the trotting-ho interest GO
ing backward as some OF the tinid breeders
predicted two years ago, it is really on tirmer
foundation than ever. No better illustration
of the fact can be cited than the phenomenal
growth Of the weekly paper published here de. dc:
of September, lSSS. it was established as
trotting-horse advocate, but the patronage was
very light to begin with. Now this publication
is read by at least 0000 people, and it Is one of

Longfellow was to die tomorrow no mention
of it would be made in this papers columns.
Many of the former breeders of thoroughbreds
have abandoned their timehonored occups-
tion, and now rear trotters exclusively, while
many capitalists from other States are invest

date it was not known until 1866, when the old
ruins were discovered by ]. w. Scott while
making a geological survey of the Moshannon
region in Center county.
On the north point after wading through
wilderness of briars. the party found what is
called Picket Rock. Eastward, or rather to
the south, they came upon a series of ill-look-
ing walls Of rock. Searching near the center
of this immense line of Notifications, the party
came to the main parapet, with its embrasures
and all the fixtures that constitute modern
fortress.
In front were found affairs built of stone.
These we're simply gigantic, and equaled
only by the big rocks in the main line OF works.
The fortress is made of Mahoning sandstone,

light, perhaps much may be added to the
meager information now possessed in regard to
the prehistoric races of America.
The trip has other Interesting features. Pan

place of unusual interest. Bears, panthers,
wildcats and foxes occupy the den or cave, in
common. The great natural lick is just be-

of the old cabin of Dan Turner may be seen at
the north end of the hill It is adorned with
