Brown Kate is by Black Jack, out of
Little Jack, by Vermont Black Hawk 5,
and she out of a daughter of White Noun
tam Morgan. 1t will be seen that Jewell
is an inbred mare, being sired by grand
son and out of a granddaughter of Black
Lady Ieiser. a daughter of this inbred
mare were mated and the result of the
union was Don Pizarro, whose three
year-old pacing record of 2:l43 was the
best ever made by a stallion of his age.
In 1889 this daughter of Jewell dropped
another colt by the same sire that was
called Don Lorenzo, that has this season
taken pacing record of 2:l73 As three
year-old. In 1880 the result of this COM
bination of blood, against which the
Kentucky lawyer writes with such caus-
tic criticism, was the tilly Lottie Lorraine
2lGi, IA champion at two years of age.
Jewell, the inbred Morgan mare, is the
grandam of two three-yearo and
one wO-year-Old, all with records below
2lS, and two of them with champion
ship honors, and all of them carrying
fifty per cent of her blood in equal guam
titles through sire and dam. Lady Ieiser
is also the dam of IA trotter, Mistake ;295
Jewell, in addition to Gambetta Wilkes,

dam was called Old Star, and was sired
by the horse Roachs American Star, a
son of either Seely's American Star or
the Orange county stallion Bolivar
Mr.. Bradbury, it seems, bred this mare
Old Star, selling her when young to AL
bert Walstein, the owner of Albert W..
and the breeder of Little Albert. Mr..
Bradbury says Old Star was out of a
mare by McCracken's Black Hawk, an
old-time California sire of some note, and
that her grandam was of unknown but
evidently high breeding. All these
mares were very of high quality, it
was said, and it was this knowledge
which led Mr.. Bradbury to buy Little
Albert. For what he can do-and there
is not much doubt about his present abil-
ity to go below 2:l0-the gelded grand
son of Electioneer would probably be
voted by circuit followers as at least the
equal of any trotter in the world. He is

THE CHAMPIONS,

The champion records of previous
years that still stand are not very nu-
merous. But there are some that have
rs yet been unassailed. Sunol's five
year-old record of 2 0Si is in danger, as
Belle Nara has taken record of :0Sf,
and it would seem that a trip against the
watch ought to result'in at least a half
second Improvement Sunol's 2:l01 as a
three-year-old is also unbroken. The
nearest approaches to it have been Mon
bars 2:l14, Gar 2:l2i and Kentucky
Union 2:l3!. The latter record was
impossible things that one of this great
trio should goa mile better than this
record. Arion's = :l03 as twO-year-old
is in no apparent danger unless it be
Emblem himself, who has recently work
ed mile in 2 :133, and in the hands of
Marvin may be expected to have almost
any surprise in store. The yearling FrOu
Frou, , :25i, is still queen of her age and
Palo Alto, 2:OS8, remains king of stall
lions. The latter is no sinecure, as Mo-
quette, 10, Lobasco, :l04, and half a
dozen others are within striking distance.
Thus it will be seen that according to
the arrangement in the year book of
champion trotters five of the seven rec
ords made in previous years still stand.
The two that have been reduced are for
champion trotter and champion four
year-old, Nancy Hanks, 2 :04, and Mo-
quette, , 10, holding these records respec-
lively.
The PAGERS have cut much wider
swathe this year than the trotters. in
fact. with the scythe of old Father Time,
they have cut down with two eXcep-

wears the crown, but the laurels are fad

The Great Explorer Handled the Sword
More skllfully Than the Pen.
There is never ending dispute regard
ing the authenticity of the various por-
traits Of Columbus. People who claim
to know deny that the picture which is
to adorn the souvenir half dollar is a
correct presentment of the navigator's
features, but whether or not the grounds
on which they base their criticism are
tenable will probably never be decided
Fortunately, however, the quarrel does
not extend to challenge of the verify

which is given herewith.
To the ready pen wielder of the Nine
teenth century the zigzag writing of the
discoverer of America must seem queer
indeed, but it should be remembered
that in those days men welded the sword

ANOTHER INBRED CHAMPION.

The fastest two-year-old pacing filly
by the records is Lottie Lorraine, who
paced the Columbus, Ind, track Sept. p,
in 2:1Gt. She has started in five races
this year. every one of which she has
won, and has race record of 2:2lf
Last year Alice Wilkes, , :22i, by Gam
beta Wilkes. held the two-year-old p"c-
ing record for filies, and this reduction
is indeed a sweeping one. The most
noticeable feature connected with this
new addition to the champion list is
the fact that her sire is half
brother to her dam, both of them
being out of the great mare Jewell, by
Vermont, 104. This tilly halls from the
Blue Grass section from which Icono-
clast draws the inspiration for his trite
but befuddled articles on inbreeding.
The breeding of this filly in brief is as

THE PNEUMATIC SULKY.

Pneumatic sulkles bring into prominence
an old and unsettled problem. One part
of the problem is whether a small wheel
gives less tax upon the animal that pro-
pels it. Another part is whether WIDEN
ing and cushioning the rim adds
velocity. In answer TO the first query,
if the smaller wheel gives less resistance,
then rolling the vehicle upon a set of
hubs just large enough to clear the gear
ing from he ground would be the acme
of easy going. No loose tire, no broken
spOkes. AS to the second principle
involved, it is only necessary to establish
that width gives less penetration, and
also that the uneven surface is leveed
by a rotary and portable patch. That is,
instead of putting part of shovelful of
earth in cavity, and cutting off any
slight elevation, the cushioned tire fills
up the cavity, OF the tire is indented by
an elevation.
If such yielding at the surface of a
sulky wheel modifies the resistance of its
contact with the ground, it can be easily
be demonstrated by placing upon the top
of an incline two vehicles of equal size
and weight and of the same form,
giving one the yielding tire and the other
the ordinary one, and then timing their
descent. If the broad and cushioned tire
permits its vehicle to reach the bottom
of the incline first, the case is signally
demonstrated.
What is in store for us in the future of
pneumatic advantage we await. Yet

COLUMBUS DAY PREPARATIONS.

suggestions to the Public Schools for
the Celebration of the Anniversary.
The official programme for the ma
tional school celebration of Columbus
Day is now published. The first duty Of
each of our schools this fall, if it wishes
to be in line with the other schools of
America, is to begin preparations at
once for its proper observance of Oct.
81, the 400th anniversary of the discov-
cry of America A few suggestions as
to the first things to be done may be of
some value.
Teachers, the superintendent and the
school board should confer, that action
may be harmonious and best results at
tanned. The proposed celebration should
be explained to each school at the earli-
est moment, 1t should be so presented
rs to awaken enthusiasm. Interesting
topics relating to Columbus and the dis
covery should be suggested for special
investigation. Such topics might be
The Map of the World Before the Dis
covery." important Inventions and
Events in Europe Just Before the Dis
covery," THE Story of Columbus"
The Ships of Columbus" what Co.
lumbus Expected to Find" Telegraph
ical Growth of the United States"
"Stories of South America" etc. The
teacher should assign the address and
the ode to those who can render them
most intelligently. The flag salute and
the songs should be persistently re-
hearsed,
Important committees of pupils shoulS
be appointed: First-A committee of
invitation. whose duty is to see that the
family of each pupil receives special
invitation to the morning exercises Of
Oct. 81, and also when they arrive to
show them seats Second-A color
guard, whose duty is % to see that the
school has Il flag and a staff in proper
condition; (2) to meet the veterans as
they arrive and escort them with dignity
to the principal in the school house; g.
to act as aids of the principal.
An efficient adult committee of ar
engagements should also be constituted
This committee must see-first, that
of fair weather. and that a room is also
engaged for the exercises should the day
be stormy; second that fitting decora
tons and printed programmes are pro
vided; third, that the local press is in
terested and invited fourth, that ar
rangements are made with the veterans
and other special guests for the part
they are to take.

Vast thou, Felipa, to his dauntless soul.
Through adverse winds that threatened
wreck, and nights
OF rayless gloom, thou pointed ever to
The north star of his great ambition. He
Who once has lost an Eden, or has gained
A paradise by Ewes sweet influence,
Alone can know how strong a spell lies in
The witchery of q woman's reckoning hand.
And thou didst draw him, tidelike, higher
still,
Felipa, whispering the lessons learned
From thy courageous father till the food
OF his ambition burst all barriers
And swept him onward TO his longed for
goal.
Before the jewels of Spanish queen
Built fleets to watt him on his untried way
Thou gavest thy wealth Of wifely sympathy
To build the lofty purpose of his soul.
And now the centuries have cycled by
Till thou art all forgotten by the throng
That lauds tie great Pathfinder of the deep.
II matters not in that infinitude
or space, where thou dost guide thy spirit
bark
To undiscovered lands, supremacy fair.
If TO this lit tie planet thou couldst turn
And voyage, wrathlike, to its cloud hung

Thou wouldst not care for praise. And II

Some hand held out to thee laurel bough,
Thou wouldsl not claim one wreath, but

To lay thy tribute also at his feet.

He seemed so much in earnest that the
general made an appointment with him
then and there to meet him at the track
and see the horse go, half suspecting
something phenomenal. He made the
arrangement to meet the little fellow
at five o'clock in the morning. The little
Frenchman was there, and had been
waiting half an hour. The horse was
hitched to an old-fashioned, high-wheel-
ed spring sulky weighing about hun
dred and twenty pounds. TO make
long story short, the little innocent from
Canada showed them mile IN 20.
This clip had never been seen before.
Gen. Durham, who died only few years
ago in West Twenty street, bought
the horse-Old Moscow-and paid SlO,-

that had ever been paid for a trotter up
to that time.
Those who were in the secret of this
exhibition and purchase were very sure
that as soon as the horse could get used
to sulky of GO or 20 pounds he could
trot in 2:23. OF course with such an in
