A NOTABLE UNION.

The breeding Of such distinguished
member Of the equine society OF kingdom
as Maud S, is matter OF general in
terest.
Maud S is the fastest trotter in the
world She has taken the place which
Flora Temple took some thirty years ago
and held for many years with then
phenomenal speed Of ? 49,
At various times this speed was re
duced, till three years ago Maud S
brought It down TO 2 Osi There the
record stands It has not stopped SO
Mr. Bonner thinks; hence. after deliberat
ing as seriously as the potentates OF
Europe deliberate concerning the union
OF two princely families, Maud has been
bred TO Ansel.
Ansel's first dam was by Lexington.
Though having an actual record Of only
30, he can be sent any time his trainer
feels like 1t as fast as 2 10 Breeding to
Ansel, too, viii give the the produce Of
Maud S double Infusion Of the action
and speed sustaining thoroughbred blood,
for she is out Of a dam whose dam
was sired by Boston, who was the sire Of
Lexington.
Mr.. Bonner Is seeking endurance to
supplement speed and returns to the
thoroughbred stock to get II. But Le-
land Stanford, from whose stud farm In
California Ansel came to Mr.. Bonner at
cost Of $40 600. maintains that Ansel
is the best mate for Maud S in speed,
also. OF the the get Of Ansel still at Palc
Alto, out Of nineteen youngsters, sixteen
have speed enough to 60 into the 2.3C
list as three-ye olds
It is expected that the speed Of Maud
S and the endurance and speed Of Ansel,
together with the other good qualitie
Of these two highest members Of theii
race may be perpetuated in their off.
spring.
The result will be watched with great
interest as to its bearing upon scientific
breeding. Heretofore, phenomenal ex-
smples Of speed in trottlng, as In run
ming horses, have been more or less the
results OF accidents There never was /
time when the highest training and tn,
best performance on the turf could be s,
favorably united with the virtues Of
race and stud, as in the cases Of Ansel
and Maud s.

The Philadelphia and Reading rsilroad,
by means Of its fine equipment. fast
trains, luxurious parlor and sleeping
cars, and the general foresight OF its
management, has succeeded ia building
up great reputation as one Of the most
attractive routes to the various summer
resorts. The prosperity of Atlantic City,
particularly, Is due in a great measure TO
the enterprise Of this company. The
Reading route affords unsurpassed
facilities for reaching the sea, and q large
majority Of the travel to Atlantic City Is
over its line. The ride from Philadelphia
to the sea coast is a delightful one. The
road is double tracked, steel rallied and
stone ballasted, and as the engines use
only hard coal there is no annoyance
from dust, smoke or cinders. The com
pany Is running trains between
Philadelphia and the sea shore
ia % minutes over its double
track which, by the way, is the only
double track line to the coast. That this
quick and absolutely safe, service,
together with the splendid equipment Of
the road, is appreciated by the public is
shown by the large proportion Of the
business which IL does. An especially
convenient train for Atlantic City from
points up in the state has just been put
on in the Main Line and Willlamsport
Division No. 4, which arrives in Phils
delpbia at - 90 noon, and makes con.
nection, by transfer through the city.

besides the one mentioned, of course, but
this is particularly convenient to the
