The Republican Club Convention.

The Convention of the Republican
Clubs at Cincinnati last week was an
enthusiastic one. 1t has given notice
to the country that the party is on
deck and ready for the battle that will
come next year. There were no lag.
CARDS. There was the greatest conf.
dence in the result. The proceedings,
too, were discreet. The resolutions
pointed the way to the national plat.
form, and especially to the subject of
restricted immigration. The Tariff
bill and the reciprocity plan will 90
hand 10 hand to battle with free trad.
ers, but running through all the issues
like a golden thread will be the pure.
~ American policy of the administra
tion Of Harrison and Blaine. The
progressive steps of The Department of
State will figure largely in the next
campaign.
The convention was not held to pick
oul candidates or aver show the way.
1t was a wise step to fix the date of
next years gathering subsequent to
that of the National Convention. It
would not do to allow such an impor.
tant organization as this League of
Clubs to split in advance on capdi.
dates. There would be danger in a
convention preceding the nominating
body But after the nominations have
been made the clubs will get together
and ratify with all the old time en-
thuslasm of the Republican party.
The selection of James-why most
OF the papers should call him John we
are at a loss to understands. Clark.
son as President of the League, means
that the Organization will be placed
upon a campaign basis, and that it
will do active work in the great strug.
gle. A better selection could not
have been made. Mr.. Clarkson will

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-05-06

her marvellous record as a three-year- old, 2:l0JS, affords no reason for be- lieving that she can never get down to 2:0SI4, and carry off the honor so long held by Maud $. Sunol is.six years younger than Maud S. was when she made her record, and she should get down to it if she lives and escapes ac- cident. There are many who believe that she will certainly get down to 2:09 this season. She is now in prime con- dition at Senator Stanford's Palo Alto farm, according to latest reports. I have heard horsemen comment upon Sunops chances, and the most unfavor- able criticism they express is that she is sprinter; or, in other words, that she makes fast time by virtue of re- marlxable spurts rather than by steady work from the start.
 Passing from the queen to the lesser dignitaries we come to a group of four five-year-olds that will appear in one of the greatest events of the season, the stake race to be trotted on the kite shaped track at Independence, Ia., dur ing the summer meeting. They are Alabaster, Margaret s., Nancy Hanks and Allerton. It will probably be the most stubbornly contested race ever witnessed. There was 8 report last year that Nancy Hanks was ''done for;" that her fore legs had given out; that the great expectations she had raised by her splendid work were never to be realized. There was nothing in it except that she was a little out of condition. She is in fine form now, and there is no question that she will lower her record, barring accidents. The same story was told about Allerton after the great Ex- pectation stakes at Detroit in July, but he is all right this year. In fact, the four trotters named are all in prime con- dition, and they will be saved for this event. Nancy Hanks is known as the great unbeaten, a title which explains itself. She is the property of H. Bos- well, of Lexington, Ky.
 Leaving the trotters for a moment, there should be good work done by the pacers this season, and the beating of Johnston's record of 2:0614 is not an un- reasonable expectation. Roy Wilkes, 2:0sA is the nearest to it, but there are others with, perhaps, an even better chance for the honor. Hunter & Holly's bay gelding, B. B., should show up well. Last year at Terre Haute, Ind, he started in the free for all against Hal Pointer, Adonis and a couple more of good ones. Hal Pointer won in straight heats with 2:09X, 2:12% and 2:1S, the fastest three consecutive heats ever paced in a race. B. B. finished second in each heat, being beaten by a nose in the first, which shows that his record of 2:131 does not show his speed. He is by Tennessee saddle horse out of a mara of unknown hreed xvhi1a Hal Pointer is by the celebrated sire oj

Poughlzeepsie, and then the great meet ing at Charter Oak park, Hartford, when the big purses will be offered in the fastest classes.
 Among the many notable horses that will be seen on the grand circuit this season will be Margaret S., e:12< (the biggest winner on the circuit last sea- son); Homestake, 2:141s; Leopard Rose, 2:15A; Moclxing Bird, 2:16K; Pixley, 2:l6; Rosaline Wilkes, 2:145<; Mambrino Maid, 2:1711; McDoel, 2:151S; Parmlico, 2:l6X; Keno F., 2:17; Walter E.. 2:1s; Alfred S., e:16If; Simmocolon, 2:19; Stevie, 2:19; Nancy Hanks. 2:141S; Miss Alice, 9:1o2l; St. Elmo, 2:1sX; Maggie R., 2:is; Alvin. 2:16A; and host of others with records we'll under 2:S0.
 The only one of the great campaign CTS surely out of the race is Prince Re- gent, 2:i6h, who made grand show ing last year and was the pride of his owner, Mir. c. J. Hamlin, of Buffalo. Great things were expected of him this season, and his death from pneumonia, April II, was universally regarded as a pity. -..
 Outside the circuit the. three horses which will be watched most closely are Sunol, Nelson and Stamboul. That the handsome daughter of old Electioneer has not, in the last two seasons, reduced

pacers, Gibson's Tom Hal. One of the most likely horses to beat, the pacing record is Winslow Wilkes Ca brown horse by black Wilbes) who made 2:141S as a four-year-old last year.
 Returning to trotters, the Southern Western circuit should have some in teresting meetings, for the managers have put up some great purses. This is the programme: Chicago, Ill.,, August 17-22, $5O,OOO; Independence, Ia., Au- gust 24-29, S75, 5000; Kansas City, Mo-, August S1-September 5, 5000; St. Louis, Mo-, September 7-12, $40, ,OOO; Cincinnati, O., September 14-15, $2O, ,OOO; Cleveland, O., September 21-26, $S5, ,OO0; Richmond, Ind, September 2s-October 8, $20,oO0; Terre Haute, Ind, October B. 10, 5000; Lexington, Ky, September 12-17, ss5, ,ooO, and Nashville, Tenn, September 1924, S25,0 1000. Grand total, $35O, 900.
 These are good figures, and it may be said, in a general way, that purses will be considerably higher this year than ever before. The grand circuit purses are not yet announced, but they will be notably high.
 It will be a great struggle be- tween the two wonderful stallions Stamboul and Nelson, the former with 2:11 and and the latter with 2:10% and the record. Nelson started last season with a record of 2:14A made at Hartford, August 2S, 1889. and Stamboul with 2:12A made at Napa, Cal, November 16, 1889.
 Nelson gradually reduced his record during 1890 until October 21, when at Cambridge City, Ind, he got it down to 2:10H. Stamboul also made numerous attempts during the summer and fall, and finally at Stockton, Cal, November go, he reached a mark of 2:11. It was generally thought that the western horse would beat the record, and it is claimed that he would have done so had not the luck been against him. He had bad weather almost every time he made an attempt, and this is worth consider ing when 1t is remembered that Nell sons title to be king was won by only quarter of a second. Still that differ ence would show up in a race for a horse of Nelson's class goes ten feet in that little fraction of time. The chances nre good that both will lower their records.
 This contest Is especially interesting because it is the far west against the far east-California against Maine-the most delightful climate on the continent against the most exasperating, so far as the effects upon human beings are con- cerned. Certainly the friends of Stam- bout arc building hopes upon climatic conditions, but they should not forget that while the Pine Tree state is not a nice place to live during the winter and can boast of only handful of citizens free from catarrh, it has produced many good horse for the trotting turf with lungs and bronchial tubes as good as if

they mad never known what it was to breathe an atmosphere composed of Labrador fog and the germs of tuber- culosis.
 Another interesting event for the trotting turfmen will be Mir. Hamlin's effort to break the team record of 2:13 now held by his Belle Hamlin and Jus tina. The former has record of her own of 2:122 and Justina of 2:20. MT. Hamlin's first effort to get them down below 2:13 will be made at the spring meeting at Buffalo to be held in few weeks. As both animals have wintered we'll and are in splendid condition there is every reason that a new record will be made. The team has lowered its record every season thus far since the two handsome animals were first driven

SECRETARY FOSTERS recently alleged free and frank discussion of the condi- tion of the treasury of the United States is the forerunner of some republi- can Juggling with the figures purporting to represent the condition of the treas ury that will probably take place as soon as MT Harrison returns to Wash ington; that is, in the next statement of the public debt, which will be made public June 1st. Mir Foster proposes to change the form of that statement, for the evident purpose of showing a ficti- cious amount of cash available. It will not be the first time by many that the condition of the treasury department has been falsified by official figures. Old timers will recall the congressional in vestIgation which brought out the fact that during one year, 1870, nine of the treasury ledgers showed 2,527 erasures and that several entire leaves were cut out of two ledgers, all caused by the efforts to make the books accord with the falsified statements prepared to mys- tify the public.

UtilitY of the Toadstool.

Toadstools make excellent dressing for certain kinds of wounds, are highly valued by surgeons and are in big de- mand in hospitals. Germans use toad stools exclusively as pipelighters also. The dried fungus makes perfect finder. It is cut in long strips and these in turn are clipped at the edge in sort of fringe and tipped with phosphorus and sulphur just like match-heads. By rubbing the fringe against any rough surface it ignites just like match, and burns like punk. If you thrust bit into the bowl of your pipe you can light the tobacco with ease in the highest wind. In fact, the harder it blows the better your pipe will light. Hunters and fishermen find this sort of match much preferable to any other, A dried toadstool makes a curiosity, too, for it is astonishing how few peo- pie know what it is when they see it, N. Y.

SEDGWICK,
HIS Bank St, and 1o4 So. Main St.

The store No 93 Bank street (now 115) which I have occupied for the past six years being too limited to accommodate the steady increase of trade, necessitated more commodious quarters, consequently have leased for a term of years the store directly in the rear (Meigs' new block) and running to South Main street, and have just completed an addition connecting the two stores, makiugit one continuous room extending from Bank to South Main street, with an entrance on both streets.
 The new store in Meigs' block has been nicely fitted and furnished, making it the most elegant Fine Tailoring parlors in New England. and will be used exclusive ly as a Custom Department.
 The front store has been extensively im- proved and will be occupied as Mems Furnishing Department, making two dis tinct departments and making each de- partment attractive and roomy.
 The Mems Furnishing department is now overhowing with all the novelties of the season. The goods are Fresh, New, De- sirable and Cheap, and as an especial in- ducement for those who desire Fancy Shirt for spring am offering Cluett & Coon's Crown Monarch Shirts which have always been sold for $1.50 at 95 cents.
 The Custom Department as usual is stocked with more extensive and elaborate line than any tailoring establishment in Conn, consisting of all the latest and most desirable Suitings, Overcoatings and Trouserings the market affords, (My trous- erings are unusually fine) and no effort will be spared to please. The garments will be turned out in the most approved style, and made by the most skilled work men.
 The public are invited to call and look at my mammoth stock and beautiful store. It will be pleasure to show you.
