known 1t is thought that this will be q
race for blood between the two greatest
four-year- olds of the campaigners this
season.
Messrs. Dubois Bros of Denver
Colo. have offered to match their horse
Superior against Palo Alto. Should the
owner of Palo Alto not accept, they
leave the proposition open for the ac-
ceptance of the owner of any trotting
stallion in the world. The conditions
are that the race be trotted over the
track of the Overland park club at Den
yer, mile heats, best three in five for
$4,000. Superior has a race record of
2:l9M, and is considered by his owners
to be invincible. He is by Egbert 1876;
dam Marg dam of Benefactor, 2:2S) by
Woodford Mambrino, 9f5. If Palo
Alto meets him it will be q contest be-
tween Il deeply trotting bred horse and a
half thoroughbred one, and the result
will be awaited with much interest by
the advocates of the two leading theories
of breeding trotters.
The purses of the Kentucky trotting
horse breeders association have just
closed. The purses are not only well
filed, but have as starters good lot of
racing material-such as will make hot
contests and close finishes. The number
of starters in each class are as follows:
Two twenty-four class, IS; 1926 class.

in the free-for-all are Dick Smith by
Luke Broadheud, Jack By Pilot Medium,
Pamlico by Meander, Harry Wilkes by
George Wilkes ,Rosalind Wilkes by Harry
Wilkes.
The National association OF trotting
horse breeders in session at Cleveland,
Ohio, have adopted the standard stake
rule as proposed by Mr.. Wallace, but
sanction all records made according to
the old way up to October l. This adop-
ton by the National association OF
measure to which the Kentucky assoeia-
ton had already shown hostile front,
will not deter the Kentucky association
from waging the war against 1t, which
they have determined to carrying on, If
necessary.
Mr.. Cecil Palmer, whose portraits of
horses have attained such wide cele-
brity, has just executed some admirable
Ekenesses of great trotting horses in the
blue grass. Among them are Red
Wilkes, Sultan, Dictator, Egbert, Fay
cite Wilkes, Simmons and Wilton. He
is under contract to make several more
which, together with those mentioned,
are intended for q portfolio to be issued
and circulated By the Kentucky Central
railroad company.
The market for well-bred stock is
strong and prices good. The entire lot

Special Correspondence of the Gazette.
LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 2.-Watching
the trotters for the past week has indeed
been interesting. Good work was done
on the tracks, where there was racing
and siXty-two new performers were
placed in the 2:30 list. The latter por-
ton of meeting at Cincinnati was inter-
ferred with by rain, which prevented
the world s stallion record, and which
also caused the entire very attractive
programme for the last two days to be
declared off. The same day that Palo
Alto NJ Cincinnati was fighting the mark

A1tell had placed to his! credit at Terre

Is feared that the record Of the Ken
F6cky bred Axtell would no longer stand
as the world 8 record for stations.
Horsemsn began to recall TO mind this
horse Nelson from Maine. They remem-
bered how he made his record of PA = in
great race at Hartford, and how
he won tae Balch stallion stake
at Boston last year. They had
scarcely laid aside the paper in which
they read of HIM getting the world 3
trotting record on a half mile track,
going the mile in 2:l514, and now, when
it is flashed across the wire that he has
equaled Axtell 3 record, they have every
reason to believe that he will beat it, if
be starts under favorable conditions on
the same track. Two days later be did
start and Clipped one half second of

THE RAGING RIVERS.

The Floods Gradually Subsiding, But the
Little Kanaw Valley still Undergoing
n Terrible Experience-Thc Little Hook
ing Out of Its Bounds.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, March 2j.--
While the news from the interior of the
State indicates that the floods are sub
siding and that the worst is past, the
Little Kanawha valley is undergoing a
Sterrible experience with the water. AT
'ao tifie'., Known history has chat
river beS, SO high, and every report
that comes in adds to the news of dis
aster that has befallen that section.
The Kanawha is still rising, and the in
dications are favorable for heavy rains
to-day. Along the lines of all the
streams the farms are flooded and farm
houses and barns surrounded with from
five to ten feet of water. The people
sought the high ground and were COM
peeled to see their property destroyed.
At Leachtown the operator has been
compelled to leave his Office, and it is
impossible to get definite news from the
flooded district, but great quantities Of
valuable property have been destroyed.
Work was suspended yesterday at the
Acid works and brick-yards here, but no
great damage has been done. The Ohio
is nearly forty feet and is still rising.
The famous oil-well on the island, which
is giving one thousand barrels day, is
flooded and much loss sustained there.
Marietta and IIarmad, o., have been
dcluged along the front streets. The
Little Hooking has flooded the farm
lands in Washington County, The out
look for the Little Kanawha valley is
discouraging.
