FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
A Mammoth Tree from California to BE
Exhibited.

Exhibited.
California is to be honored by having a
section Of one of her famous big trees made
a prominent feature in the Government
building at the Columbian exhibition at
Chicago. The project, the accomplishment
Of which is fully assured, is unique one.
The section of the tree will be twenty-three
feet in diameter and thirty feet long. This
will be divided into three parts, and these
will be placed in their natural position,
one above the other, and so arranged as to
form something like two story house.
The contract for the tree was made by ii.
A Taylor, of the department of the in
terror, with the Kings River Lumber COM
pany in the spring Of this year, and the
company is now at work getting it out in
their forest of sequoia gigantea in the
Converse basin on Kings river in Fresno
county.
The contract called for a tree 20 feet
inches in diameter, but the tree actually
found will be three feet greater in diameter.
There are of course larger trees in the
forest, but the requirement was that this
section should be perfect in all respects
cylindrical, straight and without a burn
in the bark, and this was the largest found
to fill all these conditions. The tree select
ed, says the San Francisco Chronicle, is
one known as the General Noble" 1t
measures thirty-eight feet in diameter near
the ground, but as the object was to have
the section of the same diameter at both
ends, as nearly as possible, piece is being
taken out of the tree at some distance from
the ground. To do this and to preserve
the section from harm by falling, as well
rs to meet other requirements, has proved
to be n work of considerable magnitude
The idea is not to send solid section. but
rather, the rim of the tree followed out
and cut into segments of suitable size, and
all to be numbered so that they can be
erected at Chicago so us to look from tho
exterior like the solid section of sequoia
thirty feet in height The three parts into
which the section is being cut consist of
two parts of fourteen feet each, to be hol-
lowed out, and one two feet thick, which
will serve as a floor between the two stories,
as it We're.
The work of cutting, lowering and box
ing the segments is being pushed forward
as rapidly as possible, and it is expected
that the tree will all be shipped by the end
Of October. To get the tree to point
where wagons can reach it required the
building of road two miles long. The en-
tire exhibit, including the work, will cost
the government several thousand dollars.
The tree when erected at Chicago will stand
directly under the great dome of the Gov
eminent building.

THE ANCESTORS OF ALVIN

From American Horse Breeder,1
The late Gen. w. Il. Withers of Fair
lawn, Ky, highly educated gentle
man. an eminent lawyer and as brave a
general as ever faced a musket, was one
of the most intelligent, far-sighted
breeders of trotting stock that eyer
lived. lie bred for purpose and came
much nearer accomplishing that pur-
pose than most men succeed in doing.
When Almont had but two or three
2:30 performers he saw in him one of
the greatest of trotting sires, and bought
him for $4,000, great price for that
early day.
In his catalogue for 1877, speaking of
one of his brood mares, he says in a
foot-note: "Mambrino Startling has re-
markable trotting action, and can trot
in 80 to top-buggy. She has been
selected especially to breed large, stout
and fast trotters, to be used for stock
purposes in the West and northwest.
She has been kept to drive on the road
and produced her first foal in 1877
When the above was written by Gen.
Withers the fQal mentioned was suck
ling. The mare Mambrino Startling
was bay, no white, and stood l6 Il
hands high. She was bred by r. C.
Stewart of Butler county, Ohio. Her
sire was Leggett's Mambrino Star
(record 2:2s4), son of Mambrino
Chief, whose dam, Lady Fairfield. could
trot in 2 40, and was by the PAGER Red
Buck. The dam of Mambrino Startling
was by Stockbridge Chief; second dam
by Downing's Bay Messenger, son of
Harpinus, by Bishops Hambletonian,
and third dam by Lance, thorough
bred son of the renowned four-mile race
horse English Eclipse.
Stockbridge Chief, sire of Mambrino
Starling's dam, was by Vermont Black
Hawk, son of Sherman Morgan; dam by
Sir Charles, son of Duroc; second dam
by Duroc, son of imported Diomed.
In 1876 Gen. Withers mated Nam
brine Startling several times with AL
mont, unsuccessfuly. He then mated
her with Strader's Cassius M. CLAY,
and after about the usual period of ges.
tation, on Aug. 2, 1877, she dropped the
bay colt which was following her when
Gen. Withers stated his purpose in breed
ing from this mare. That colt was final

Mr.. ID. NJ. Foster of Canton Point is
the owner of mare called Maggie Frank

son over half mile tracks, ending with
record of 2 :3S4. She is good shaped,
brown mare, l54 hands high and recent

of our readers we will go back little.
In 1888 or "a Gen. John NJ. Eustis of
Dixfield bought the horse Morgan Post
Boy, for parade horse, for which the
Morgan family was noted. Morgan
Post Boy, or, as he was sometimes called,
Morgan Caesar, stayed in Maine until
1912, during which time he sired Mac,
one of the famous old time trotters, and

Maud SIS, Jay-Eye-See's and Arion's of
the present. He also got a chestnut
mare that both paced and trotted, which

THE DISTRICT STREETS.

Su bdivision.

Report Of the Engineer In Charge of Their
Su ubdivision.
The report Of the engineer in charge Of the
subdivision Of streets for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1892, has been submitted.
ia ts,a northeast s:h, 18th and 18th streets
and Rhode Island and New YoTs avenues aaye
been located to within q short distance Of the
District line. In the northwest 3sth street is
row located from Burleiih to the district lire
Streets have been located in ten tracts where it
was proposed to subdivide and three subdi-
visions Of these have been recorded.
After referring to the necessity of some i'm
mediate action with regard to the irregular
subdivisions living north of the city and of
some plan Of subdivision for the rough sections
he says:
''In the vicinities of lie Droit Park and Mt
Pleasant the rapid building now going on is
making general plan Of subdivision more diff
cult and improbable. II some scheme were at
once gotten up for rectifying this locality it
might at least prevent any building being done
on proposed lines g. streets.
Next to this il is important that some de-
parture from straight line extension be allowed
in the rough portions Of the District. particu-
larly in the southeast. Ihe topography in
these parts should govern to a great extent
the location Of the streets.
The appropriation for the year at hand will
not admit Of a great amount of work being
done, but in view Of any plans that may be de-
sired would suggest that the irregular diyi-
rions nearest the city be first considered"

fair proposition, and are vigorously opposing it
in caucus. Their principal objection az ises from
the fact that the purpose Of the agreement is to
present the matter to the House in the form of
the Durborrow bill, which is separate
from the sundry civil bill and contains
other provisions besides the mere appro-
priation contained in the bill. Quite hot

will be made to make its action binding upon

silver over and above the dollar ccined
