He went Swimming on a Horse.

Yesterday an Italian, maybe count, went bathing in Mill River. This is something he rarely does, but yesterday he took horse belonging to another Ital- ian in bathing with him. He took the horse froms.th main bank, and untram- meled by the odious bathing suit, plunged stark naked into the deep. He then got astride the horse and rode about in the river. The horse threw him off when they were in the middle of the stream. The man swam until he caught spile in the Warner foundry private bridge just south of which he went in bathing. The horse swan little further and got out just back of the New Haven Ice com pany's ice house, which is near Tin bridge. The Italian, perhaps count, was brought ashore in a boat and when he had dressed himself was arrested by Officer Roche. At the precinct he was sad and forgot to tell his title, but said his name was Den netti Tomato. He will no more disport himself in the crystal water of Mill river without bathing suit.

 ure that horse cannot always be right, and the element of chance or un- certainty constitutes the foundation of racing and betting. If it was part of the program and betting rules that horse must be at an edge or bets would not stand, the science of betting to win would be wonderfully simplifed. All down the line of the circuit the short end. buyers have been playing against Hal Pointer, ex- pecting to catch him on an off day, and make winning. So far it has been all one way. He has not lost race, and be- lieve only one heat this year up to this day. To-day he lost race because the expected did happen, but instead of the feld-buyers making a winning, the judges stepped in and declared all bets off on the race. No one intimated any suspicion of fraud, and, to tell the truth in plain words, the judges simply robbed the feld-buyers of money that had been honestly won,

Trotting and Pacing Races at Dan.
 nnA

AIOttAnS aA0 racing haceS at Dahe
 bury and Derby.
 MT. William Neely is fast becoming at tached to the six thousand dollar trotter, Tom Hamilton, 2:21a, which he recently purchased. He is frequently seen behind his new horse with which he takes oonsid- erable pleasure.
 The Hubinger's horses have been at the stables of their owners since the Derby races. Some of the horses have been speeded on the track at Elm City park in preparation for the races at Danbury and Derby. The trotter c. T. L. recently went mile in 2:25, which is creditable per- formance for half-mile track, and Is nearly equal to the horses best record, 2:A. Maud was recently timed mile in 2:254. Lady Thompson has obtained g to go faster next year. c. T. L., Lady Thompson and the pacer Blanche are en- tered in the races at Danbury. The for mer is to start in the 2:21 class on Thurs day, October 7. The gray trotter is booked for the 2:27 class on Friday, and Blanche is to start in the pacing race the some day.
 The races will be held at Derby during the week after the Danbury fair.
 D. M. Bristol with his educated horses will be at the Hyperion on Thursday, Fri day and Saturday of this week.
 NELSON AND ALLERToN.
 Last fall Nelson, the trotter from Maine, crowned himself ''King of Stallions" when he trotted mile in 2:10a.
 A1lerton, the bay stallion owned by 0. w. Williams of Independence, Ia., recent ly trotted mile in 2:10, after which Mir. Charles H. Nelson's namesake was sent another fast mile at Grand Rapids, Mich, on last Friday. The watches which were held on the performance varied. The timers caught the time at 2:1O. The 2:O99, and dozen watches in the quarter stretch indicated 2:094. The official time announced was BIO.
 As the track is four feet and four inches over mile it would not have been surpris- ing if the judges had announced faster mile.
 There was great enthusiasm over the event. The spectators rushed from the grand stand and enclosure to the track and surrounded the judges stand. Start ing Judge Leathers then presented MT. Nelson with fine silver water set on behalf of the society.
 On Saturday afternoon at Independence, Ia.. Allerton beat the worlds record and secured the honorary title when he trotted mile in 2:09t. This performance was undoubtedly on the kite-shaped track, which is conceded to be several seconds faster than the oval track on which sev- eral of Nelson's records have been made.

Continued Rise in Changers and other Active Issues-Commerci is ex-Dividend-@sStop Orders'' Caught i'm Cattle Feeders Shares-A Sharp Recovery.
 NEW YORK; September 19. Traders who thought the advance had tempo rarily eliminated last evening were surprised at the buoyancy of stocks to-day.
 St. Paul came to the front in activity and rose 134 per cent. At the same time Reading was heavy and Atchison only steady.
 Burlington recovered to the highest prices of yesterday, but Rock Island, while it advanced, fell little short of yesterdays best figures.
 Toward the end the market gained new strength and closed at top prices on the fact that a large amount of gold was shipped for this port from London and Paris and on the favor able nature of the bank statement.
 The net decrease in actual cash holdings is only $s17,oo and the city banks now hold $,72s, IT'S in excess of legal requirments, against deficit of $3 306, ,925 one year ago.

SENATOR sEYMOUR,s PLAN.

He Reinforces the Movement of Pig
 ly to Ita
 State Senator Seymour (dem.) is out with plan in the line of constitutional re- vision for fairer representation" in the legislature. He frankly admits that the democratic party is not prone to eagerness of inclination toward the subject as shown at the state convention of the party, where it sat down upon Representative Pigott's movement in the same direction and he adds that experience teaches that this movement does not hitch well with party nominating conventions, where the great and absorbing business is the nomination of a ticket with all the clashing interests and ambitions involved. On this subject MT. Seymour concedes:
 This was the chief lesson of the last conven- tion, and the slightest attention given to Mr. i pig1tts m valuable da n proposals A the showing them failure to get more than small faction to stay to discuss them afterward, and the final post ly to be the summary of future attempts under the same conditions. Again, the men who are ordinarily chosen to push candidate in con- 'SA.eAOA, S<AoSoy matters as these even if they could be brought to final action. special convention of delegates specially chosen for the work, and for other, could and would give the subject all the atten- for the party it's final word.
 The senator unfolds his little plan to be as follows:
 In view of the foregoing clements of the case, I suggest that g population of 5000 in any town should be regarded as that for which it's present representation was designed, and that all towns containing 5000 or less should be left as they are, with two representatives or one, as the case may be, for the reasons found sufficient in the past; and that to any town containing more that 5000 inhabitants, and for the major fraction thereof. Upon study of the census of 1890, the bulletin for which is just out, it will be found that this would add 69 members to the house from IF towns, making the representation as fol- lows, and for the purpose of argument, set beside each town it's population in 1890 and also in 1880:
