Mrs. Aston suggested a partnership with
vessel owner. The suggestion was acted
on, and the first voyage TO China, where
the East India company had port, netted
a profit of over 100000. and led to further
advantageous ventures in the Orient. Mrs.
Aston bore her husband three sons and
four daughters and to the eldest son, Will
lam Back house Astor, was intrusted the
conservation and extension of the vast
property already accumulated. BY his two
wives, Margaret Armstrong and Aida Liv-
ingston, William b. had seven children.

have gone so fast and game at the same
age, even under the most favorable cir

neither. His schooling was short, his
teacher new beginner, but his racing
career quite remarkable. just seventy

was short, but sensational and success

1t is undoubtedly largely owing to the
influence of his American wife that Lord
Randolph Churclill-who recently started
Oh an exploring trip to Afrca-has al
ways taken a friendly interest in the
United States During the excitement of
the Sackville-W West incident he was the
only British statesman who recognized the
justice of Presiden mt Cleveland's position in
demanding the recall of the imprudent
minister. He publicly rebuked the London
Standard for stirring up feeling of bitter
uess against the United States, declaring
that it, attitude was wicked, vindictive
and dangerous, and indicating that prompt
acquiescence in the justice of Americas de
mand was the only course to secure perma

Luverne, Mimi, Nov. %, 1889.

Polly, above described, was the first
trotter to get so fast record in Europe
as 2:2l. She reigned queen of the trot-
ting turf there until her crown was cap
tured by the American mare BOsque Bo-
nita, which lowered the record to 2:19a
not long since. Polly trotted some in
this country as late as 1881, under the
name of Utopia. Her pedigree and de
scription is given by Mr.. La Due. who
bred her, as follows:
"Polly is a dark bay mare, standing
l53 hands high, bred by Jay La Due,
then of Rochester, Mimi, and foaled his
property in 1879. Her sire was Hamdal-
ah, and lIamdallah was by Hamlet, son
of Volunteer, by Rysdyk's Hambleton-
ian, out of Trotting Sister, by Alexan-
ders Abdalah
"rhe dam of Polly was known as
Belle. She was bred by O. p. Whitcomb
of Rochester, Mimi, and got by De
CRAFTS Alexander, "A son of Goldsmith s
Abdallah q 800. The latter was by
Volunteer, son of Rysdyk's Hambleton-
ian. out of the well-known brood mare
Martha, by old Abdallah.
"Tbe second dam of Polly was by a
horse called Gov. Wright, which was
claimed to be by the great four-mile race
horse Grey Eagle. Polly's third dam
was Gray Fanny by Eureka, son of Long
Island Black Hawk. The latter was by
Andrew Jackson, the fastest trotting
stallion of his day. Long Island Black
Hawk was the fastest long distance
trotting stallion and greatest weight
puller of his day
1t seems that Polly was bred in the
stoutest trotting lines, being inbred to
Volunteer, with the very best of thor
oughbred crosses close up, and the Long
Island Black Hawk cross Just back of
that. Parties who wish to breed trotters
remarkable alike for courage and endur-
ance should not overlook the Volunteers

Homestake (2:l44) was by the founder
of the Volunteer family, as was that of

spent two years ut Trinity college, Hart
ford, ana entered West Point in 1850 He
graduated from that institution in 1873,
and was assigned as a lieutenant to the
Fourth artillery, which is his present regi
ment.
Lieutenant Totten was confirmed into
the Episcopal church by Bishop Williams
at the age of thirteen. During his youth,
however, he was materialistic in his views,
but as his mind expanded he became a self
convinced and avowed Christian. He ac-
cepts the Bible literally and believes as
firmly in Moses and the prophets rs he does
in Christ and the apostles. His calculation
OF the exact date of the conjunction which
fixed .Toshun'> long day" has brought his
name prominently before the theological
world
Lieutenant Totten has distinguished
record as an inventor, as well as a Biblical
expounder. He is the author of "Strate-
Cos" the American game of war, which
received the Endorsement of men like Won
Moltke, Wolseley and BOllinger He is
also IA well known contributor of scientific
articles to the magazines and professor
of Yale university.
