m tie tile value of it was between $50, 900 and
S65. 900. On this they are carrying an insur-
ance OF between S25, 900 and $50, 900. The

SOME GREAT PROSPECTS.

Busy and Prosperous Season.

1rOtt1ng Horse breeders Looking Out for
Busy and Prosperous Season.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. iL-As spring ap.
proaches the interest In the trotter is growing
rapidly. Breeders have nearly all made ar
rangements for breeding the coming season,
and the books of many of the leading stations
in the country are already full. Never before
in the history of trotting horse breeding has
there been such an array of stations offered
for public service as there is this year. In the
lists can be found the best bred sons of Elec-
tioneer, George Wilkes and Hambletonian 10,
besides sons of Harold. Red Wilkes, Alcyone
Belmont, Nutwood, Lord Russell and others of
tried and successful strains of trotting blood.
The mares being mated to these superb
stations are In nearly every instance standard
bred. Taking all this into consideration it will
be seen that the prospects for the rotting- horse
business were neve. brighter. Nor was the
work of last year at all discreditablc. On ths
turf the performances were not only frstclass
but IN many instances phenomenal. In the sale
ring the trotter Jared equally as well. A few
years ago auction sales of trotters were almost
unknown, but in the year 1890 no less than 2, 1879
of this breed of horses changed hands under
the aurtioneer'I hammer for the sum of
81 6Oi, I6l an average of $50 yer head. OF these
horses 80 sold for S5,Q 600 and over.

A FORTUNATE sNEEzE.

Lost Voice.
CONSTANTINE, MICH, Jan. H.-Miss
Elizabeth Cation. of this place, lost her
voice seven years ago through an attack of
scarlet fever, and since that time has not
been able to speak above whisper. Last
week she went to her brothers, in Kal.

which brought on a fit of sneezing. She
sneezed continually three hours, and when
it was over was so weak that she could
scarcely stand, but was overjoyed to find
that she had entirely recovered the use of
her voice.
The doctors are unable to account for it,
but those who have heard her talk since her
return, aud she has talked all the time since
in joy over the recovery, have no doubt of
It's reality.
