MORE RECORD BREAKING.
The Yenrling Record OF Bell Bird II
Beaten.

Beaten.
STOCKTON, Cal, Nov. 24.-One of the
gamest performances ever seen on a
race track was the mile made today on
the Stockton "kite" by the yearling
Sidney filly, Frou Frou, driven by Mil
lard Sanders. The filly tied Bell Bird g
time, 2:264, last Saturday, and today
she beat the mark with ease, coming to
the finish strong and fast, making the
mile in 2:26 fat. The trotted the first
quarter in 81 seconds, going to the half
mile pole in :l41a. Sanders let her
outa bit after passing the half, and she
went the third quarter second faster,
in 3615. The filly made the last quarter
in 35 seconds, making her mile in 2:26,
the fastest in the world for yearling.
When President Shippee announced
that the filly had broken the record
there were cheers for Frou Frou and
for her driver, Sanders, who has kept
her working mp from 2:4l to win the
crown as the fastest yearling in the
world.
FAUsTA BREAKS A RECORD.
Fapsta, another phenomenal yearling
by Sidney, was then driven by Sanders
against her worlds pacing record Of
2:25ta. She made her frst pacing rec.
ord last Saturday. She then paced half
in :13A. aud made the second half in
:l214. Today after having paced less
than week, and only eight days after
she made trotting record Of 2:40, this
yearling lowered her record q of Sec
ond, making mile 2:24L. The
last quarter was made in S5 seconds.
DIRECT PAGES IN 2:071a.
Monroe Salisbury's wonderful pacing
stallion, Direct, by Director, was driven
by George Starr against his record of
2:O6, and made a mile in 2:0714. The
horse was not ready to 60 at his best.
Starr sent him too fast on the first half
mile, which was made in 1:02L. He
was not able to keep up clip, and paced
last two quarters in 33 seconds each.
His first quarters were made in 30s4
and second in 3O1s, making most won
derful half-mile record. The horse will
go again Saturday.

The new athletic grounds Of the Los

FLOWER AND TREE.

Only II per cent. of flowers emit per-
fume.
There are in Old Orchard, Me-, three ap-
pie trees which bear each year loads of ap-
pies shaped almost exactly like pears.
The three tallest trees in the world are
believed to be sequoia near Stockton,
Cal, which is 1926 feet high, and two euca-
lypti in Victoria, Australia, estimated to
be 435 and 45Q, respectively.
If you can give your roses window in
some room that has no stove in it, yet
which does not freeze, they will do far bet
ter. And an occasional slight frost will do
them less injury than continual dry heat.
I The first ailanthus trees grown in Amer
ica were brought from the far east and
planted in the garden of Burns coffee
house, ON lower Broadway, opposite Bowl
ing Green, New York. They were much
admired by the beaux and bellies of seven.

(; A black potato is the latest vegetarian
novelty to tempt British appetites. Being
imported originally from Zululand, this
curious tuber is christened the Cctewayo.
The plant has a blackish stalk with blue

NOT PHENOMENAL.
[Mnrldlnn Naval

The cotton crop now being marketed
indicates a total of 100000 bales
without any further increase In th,
receipts for the balance Of the season
Already the amount in sight is l5,00C
bales In excess of the total crop Of 1899
which was 7,3ll,000 bales. The in.
crease of the crop of 1890 is moi
phenomenal. The excess will no doubt
be fully 100000 bales, If not 100000.
The greatest excess was In 1870,
when the crop OF that year exceeded
that Of 1869 by l,230,0O0 bales. The
crop of 1871 showed decrease OF
1,37S,000. The crop Of 1872 showed
an increase of 100000 bales. That OF
1875 was an increase of 100000 COM
pared with 1874. The next very heavy
increase was In 1879, when the increase
was $4,000 bales. This was followed
In 1880 by another increase of 84i, 900
bales. Yet the crop of 1880 sold in
New York at an average price OF ll.S4
cents for mlddling, compared with
1888, tho average price of the crop of
1873, although the increase was 1885,
900 bales.
The crop Of 1881 fell Off 100000
balos. This was followed In 1882 by
all increase Of ,l93,000 bales, causing
q decline in the average price of 253
cents per pound. The crops of the
two succeeding years were each ,200,-
600 bales less than that Of 1882. Yet,
there was no advance In the average
price. The crop of 1885 showed an
increase of $4,000 bales and the
average price declined LILO cents, the
average price being 9.44 cents, the
lowest since 1851.
The crop of 1886 was the same as
1885, and the price advanced 80 points.
The next two years were 100000
bale crop years, and that of 1889 was
100000 bales, yet the average New
York price steadily advanced to 11.53
cents, or a total of .28 cents pound,
the highest price paid since 1881, when
the average was 1916 cents on u crop
of Q, ,450, 900, or !, $4,000 bales less than
the crop Of 1889.
The cheapness of the crop of 1890 Is
liable to cause a reduction in the acre
age planted, and this is preceded by
very backward season.

This detail of the principal difficult

spair for the future of that most at

quite agree with President Angel,
of the University of Michigan, when
he says in his article in the April num-
ber of the Andover Review: Il doubt
whether a really better state of relig-
ious life has ever existed in our prin-
eipal colleges aud universities than
now exists. As in society at-large, so
In the schools of learning, the type Of
religious character has somewhat
changed. But never within my reeol-
lection was the life more wholesome
and vigorous than now. Notice the
extraordinary response last year to
the appeal for missionaries. Aud so
far as know the spirit of the relig-
ious students In the State universities
Is not essentially different from those
in the other colleges and universities.
Ii is universally conceded by the older
college teachers that the morals and
manners Of students have materially
improved within the last thirty or
forty years. believe that their relig-
ious spirit, II less m0nastic and intro
versive, is more healthy and aggres-
sive. In my observation of the stu
dents of this generation, find no
good ground for the dependent view
of their religious condition which
some men seem to take. No doubt,
pious platitudes, cant, nero appeals to
denominational zeal, 90 for little with
them, but straightforward, earnest,
manly words; a large and catholic
Christian spirit; reasonable inter-
probation of scripture; the application
of the principles of the gospel to social
problems; appeals for hard but noble
and Christ-like work for the poor and
tho ignorant, all these, the students Of
to-day, whether in denomnatlonal
colleges, or agricultural colleges, or
scientific schools, or State universities,
appreciate and welcome and respond
to, al least as heartily as any other
class among our people"

Comparing these figures with those

Comparing these figures with those
of the censuses of 1880 and 1860, 1t Il
found that since 1880 the white popu-
lation has increased 99,759, aud the
colored population 1928; and since
1860 the white population has increased
1926, and the colored population
142,920. The excess of the colored
population in 1880 was 28,70l in 1890
it was less than one-third of the num-
Der, or 8,1S1. The increase of the
white population from 1860 to 1880
was 275 per cent, and from 1880 to
1890 about % per cent. The increase
of the colored population from 1860 to
1880 was 38 per cont, and from 1880 to
1890 about 1875 per cent Otherwise
stated the white population has gained
2.250 more in the last decade than 1t
gained in the two preceding decades,
while the colored population has gained
$4,000 less in the last decade than 1t
gained in the two preceding decades
and according to the Federal census
the two races are nearly equal, with
the rate Of increase largely IN favor Of
the whites.
Figures of this kind completely dis
sipate the nightmare placed on the
South by the result of the tenth census.
