A Baltimore gentleman has a very interesting pet, which has afforded him considerable amusement, and particu- larly so this summer It is a dry land tcrrapin.

Reminded Him Of Business
A man who was not entirely dissOci-
ated from the market business. and
whose place is not a thousand miles
from here, went to the White noun
tains with his family to spend his vaca
ton He chose a hotel that stood on
high ground, and was surrounded by
forests that breathed perfume through
the dry, celebrating air, but, strange
TO say he was not comfortable. and
eventually he began to show signs OF
illness. The airs too weak, up here, y
he said. Even his appetite, ON which
he set great value, snbsided, and his
thoughts and desires turned cityward
so strongly that he took no pleasure IN
the mountains
One day he turned faint and fell
back into an armchair. His family
became alarmed. but a friend hurried
out behind the kitchen and presently
returned with a couple Of fish heads
that had been cast out some days be
fore and were in q high state OF pun
gency. He placed these under the
nose of a sick man. whose eyes opened
slowly. while his face widened with an
expression of glad wonder. He look

THE record smashing on the trot-
ting track will come to an end some
day, as a mere exhibition, and only
those records will go down in the reg
lister that have been made Ia an actu-
al race. The conditions between the
mere exhibition mile and the mile In
a race is too great to be overlooked,
and its inequalities work injustice.
The exhibition mile is made under
the most favorable circumstances
possible. The weather and the con-
dition of the animal are always al
high water mark, there is no
scoring, no worry and fret from
the presence of opposing forces, no
danger of being forced to take the out
side track and every thing conspires
to make speed. In race, as every
horseman knows, these conditions are
reversed and it is often under the
most adverse instead of under the
most favorable circumstances that
horse is put over the course. In ad-
dition to this, when the trial is made
over q Kite shaped track the advan-
tage is still more decidedly in favor of
the animal gong against time over
the animal going in q race. On the
kite shaped track there is but one
turn, and that long one, from the
time that the animal scores until he
crosses the wire q winner; where
as in the ordinary shaped track
he has two turns Of a quarter
mile each instead of the one long
turn of third of mile. The repeat
ed lowering of records at the kite
shaped tracks in Iowa and California
has attracted attention to the in
CAPABILITIES OF the records thus made
a, compared with racing records on
ordinary shaped tracks and remedy
will bainvoked. 1t is probable that
this remedy will be- by barring all
records save those made in races on
regular shaped tracks, because the
regulation track affords tho best OPP
portunity for seeing the race in It's
entirety, and will therefore be more
likely to remain for race goers the
popular track. Whether kite-shaped
tracks are barred or not 1t is quite
certain that records will be confined
to races in order to entitle the maker
to entry in the trotting register.
