Hts own Horse. Too.

One would think from reading the
horse columns of the South Jerseymam,
that Editor Smith knew as much
about horses as the man who makes
speciality of the business. There is
scarcely anything going on in the
Salem county horse world that he
don't claim to know. but the following
from the Salem Sunbeam allo VS. some
cruel light in:
Bro. Smith, of the Jerseyman, has
bought new horse. 1t is a good one
but that is due more to the honesty of
the man who sold bim than it is to our
brothers knowledge of what horse
should be. Last week he took friend
down to the stable to show him the
equine. The animal was led out and
made to trot around. 'Why, he's
iame," said the friend. Lame moth.

AMONG HORSEMEN.
Late Notes of the TrOtters and
HOrSemen.

Last Friday afternoon Nick Justice
had five year old colt belonging to
William Mac Farland. on the fair
grounds track, and gave him fast
helf mile. The animal is bay, strong
and big, and level head, which will
carry him in company withouta break.
He is from "Hebe," the dam of BEL
ford E. and sired from "Indiaman."
He has always mixed his gait consid-
erably, but yesterday he was given his
first fast work, and to the surprise of
all who knew him. the colt trotted
squarely, just like veteran, and COW
cred half mile in very fast time. Nick
Justice, the driver, was tickled all over.
He declared the animal was very
speedy and ventures to risk his profes-
sional reputation on the assertion,
that in six weeks he will go as straight
as any trotter in the country.
Mr.. MacFarland, the owner, was well
pleased, and thinks the colt a coming
one. In times past, he has always
called him mixer" and knew no other
name. After his performance, he
thought he shonld have better name,
and accorded the privilege of naming
him to the sporting editor of this ga.
per, and he will hereafter be entered
in all fast races under the name of
pioneer" after this paper. ''Pio-
neer" will make them all hustle before
the season is half over.
Col. Morris, of Atlantic City, will
send his gray pacing mare "Mollie R
to the Riverside track next week for
training. She will be given a record
and used next season.
MacFarland's black mare "Stella
NJ" was given some fast work yester-
day afternoon, and proved capable
and speedy.
Nick Justice has thirteen horses
under his care.
Eph. Otis minnie O." will be bred
to Bellman " next month.
Geo. g. Green is now employed
with Nick Justice.
James Gormley, of Atlantic City,

f1eshy part of the left arm, Just above

Mr.. Blew realized he had met with a
terrible injury. Willie Moore was
present at the time, rendering some
assistance, and he immediately brought
Mr.. Blew's horse and wagon to the
door and helped Mr.. Blew in it. Willie

office of DR.. T. g. Smith. While on the
way, Mr.. Blew tainted three times
from loss of blood.
Reaching the Office, Mr.. Blew placed
himself in the care of DIR. Smith, who
gave him treatment. 1t was found
that arteries had been severed and the
wound was stitched. The operation
consumed about aH hours time. Mr..
Blew was then taken to his home in a
wagon, and two men carried him into
his residence.
1t will be some time before he
is fully recovered. Chris. Bader, the
butcher employed at Stathems' meat

The announcement in the PIONEER
on Friday that new roof was being
put upon tho old Presbyterian Church
building on Broad street, and that
nails were being found nearly O. hun
dred years old, caused hundreds Of
curious people to gather about the
building yesterday. l. was bright
day, and nearly all those who were
out promenadiug went up to the old
cemetery. The new roof is nearly on,
and all about the building is scattered
the debris taken off. The well pre-
served oak rafters have been taken off
and in these were found the old nails,
which ninety.nin years ago we're
made by hand by James Hood, Sr.,
the blacksmith. Many of the nails
have nearly rusted away, while others
are still fair specimens of nails. They
are of all sizes and very much different
in appearance from those manufac-
tured by machinery to-day.
Hundreds of these nails were pounded
with bricks from the rafters and car
ried away, and will long be treasured
as interesting relics of pass workman
ship, A good many persons took
pieces of the rafters, which have been
on the Church for nearly a round cers
tury.
This Church building was the first
ever erected in this city, although re-
ligious services had previously been
held in the old Court House. The
foundation stone of the structure was
laid July 26, 1899. The funds to COM
plete the building were procured
through lottery authorized by an act
of the Legislature, and the Church
was dedicated Sunday May II, 1895, by
Rev. John Davenport. Many who
have gathered and are treasuring these
old nails. will be glad to possess this
bit of history.
