Nelson ceases to be the King of stall
lions, Allerton having clipped off a quar-
ter second and made a mile In 2l0.
When the fact is taken into consideration
that the driver Nelson Is much over
weight it is to be expected with proper
use and fair chance, something the
horse Nelson has not really had thus far,
he may succeed in doing better than
Allerton, but 1t is hardly reasonable to
expect IT this year. Maine farmers have
gone into Nelson stock very extensively
for the past few years and are greatly in
terested in the question of the superiority
of the horse. 1t makes difference to
many Maine men whether Nelson is King
of the turf or whether some other horse
Is King. 1t may make no difference In
real value OF his progeny but the specula-
tive enters largely into the value of trot-
ting stock.

Last Tuesday, October 9th, was Ger

264th anniversary Of the landing OF the
first German colony on American soil
The celebration of the event in Lamar,
by the survivors of that colony, was car

Prowers county enthusiasm.
Christopher Classens, Esq, was the
master of ceremonies, and Prof. Gustav

with watermelons, and while they were
being disposed of, Mr.. Ulrich H. Vanors-

Johannes Schneider responded to the
toast, America, our Home" and Fritz
Schmidt rendered that beautiful ballad,
aDoctor Eisenbdrt,n on the harmonica.

struck up their national anthem, Mrs.

and Johannes Hess, Jacob Maury, and
George Helms, were appointed a commit

Nicholas Heinz, Eberhart kohn, Fritz

-Du, du tiegst mir i'm Herzen;" and
echoed from the distance one could hear
the melodious voices of Fritz Rausch
and Squirer Koonce singing that plain
tive strain, .Die Lore-Leip 1T was our
mothers evening hymn, that lulled Us
