VICTORY In DEFEAT
The Big Majority of the Conservative
Party in Canada Almost Wiped
Out.
Liberals Not at all Disheartened, and
Hope to Come Into Power Next
Election.

TORONTO March S-Tho governments big
majority has been practically swept out OF
existence. The Liberals polled large ma
jority of the popular vote, and if the gov
ernment attempts to cling to its power, 1t
must depend for support upon the mem-
bers from the Northwest and British
Columbia, who are ready to support any
party gaining power.
Four members of the cabinet have been
defeated, so that a general reconstruction OF
the cabinet will be necessary. 1t is limited
that Sir John Macdonald may resign and
allow Tupper to form new ministry.
The most important facts revealed by
yesterdays vote are that the annexation cry
is not SO unpopular in Canada as was sup
posed, that closer trade relations with .hc
United States are inevitable and that the
Liberals viii be returned to power at the
next general election.

vass had harrassed him to some extent,
he had entirely recovered from its
effects and had gained fifteen pounds
since coming TO Frankfort. Almost
with the words upon his lips came a
witch of the face, and gasp for
breath as if in pain. A deadly pallor
over-spread his face as he called for a
glass of water. With an effort he
walked out of the hall. Reaching the

one ar cn7Ss.7cr 80 and M,
ter than the time mad sglR5 former
champion, Axtell, in 1889. The Cal
ifornia-bred stallion, Stamboul, too,
succeeded in lowering Axtell's time
for mile by an even second, but it
did not count as a mountaineering
performance, having been made after
Nelson's 2 :103. Palo Alto also made
a fight for the stallion record, and al
though he failed in this, he succeeded
in placing the fastest mile to his
credit ever trottcd in a race, viz, 2 :13.
Late in the fall, when the trotting
fever was at its height, the news of
still another record-breaking perform
ance was flashed over the wires from
the Golden State. The message read
that the yearling colt Freedom, by
Sable Wilkes, had not only surpassed
the performance of Norlaine, 2:3l4,
but had entered the charmed circle by
trotting a mile in :294. This capped
the climax, SO to speak, and the 2 80
trotter didn't seem nearly so far off.
1t certainly appeared as if all the rec
ords were within sight. The team
record, 2 :154, made by Maxey Cobb
and Meta Medium in 1884, was also
an object of attack, and it remained
for a pair Of the Empire State bred
mares to lower it. The performance
OF this great pair, Belle Hamlin and
Justina, are so well known that mere
mention is all that is called for here.
They made the mile in 2:13. Now
we come to the PAGERS. AT the top of
the list is the stallion Roy Wiles, that
paced mile in the phenomenal time
of 0S4, stamping him the champion
pacing stallion of the world. Then
comes Manager, the grey two-year-old
colt, with a record Of 2:164. Hal
Pointea also looms up as record
breaker, by pacing mile in race in
2;09i. This we believe includes all
the actual record-breakers or makers
of the year, but the performances of
Cricket, b. b., Adonis, Dallas and
others were of such a character as not
to be many points behind.
This, then, is the history of the year
in a nutshell so far as the record
breakers go. Who will say that the
facts are not interesting ?-[ Wallace S

A Brief Summing up for 1890.

AT the close Of each year it has been
the practice of the Monthly for some
time past to briefly review the work
accomplished on the track and in the
stud, by the foremost performers and
sires. Such an undertaking must Of
necessity be general in its character,
and after all has been said there will
be "many men of many minds" as to
what sire is entitled to the most credit,
and the consequent place of honor as
the leading speed progcnitor of the
year. The same is likewise true with
regard to performers. There are
many points. Of vital Importance to be
taken into consideration in deciding
the merits or dement's of stallion in
the stud, but in taking up the matter
in SO general a way the "whys and
wherefores" must be put aside for the
time being. The past season has UNI
questionably been a most gratifying
one to the breeders Of the light har-
ness horse as whole throughout the
country. More 2 80 and 2 20 trotters
and PAGERS entered the lists than ever
before in a single season, and the per-
formances were far more satisfactory,
not onIy-lto- Tia spectators, but to
breeders generally. There were less
than half dozen lineup records
made all told, and the cry of fraud
was a mere whisper compared with
that of former years. There was, no
doubt, a considerable amount of
crooked work here and there, but so
great was the improvement over the
past that it appeared quite insignif-
cant. Before the season was half
over, it was evident that the "woods"
were fairly alive with real race horses,
and before the wind-up of the full
circuits, the faint-hearted flyers were
fairly done to death. 1t is safe to say
that never before had there been so
many long-drawn-outa and stubbornly-
taught contests. A horse, to stand
anything like chance down the cir
cults, had to be race horse indeed.
Many admirers of the great Sunol
were disappointed at her failure to re-
duce her record as a three-year-old,
but she proved a record-breaker
nevertheless, by trotting in 2:10h |
beating the four-yoar-old record made
by Edgemark by five and one-halfI
seconds. Following this came the per-
Torrance of the Maine-bred stallion,
