shown that the doctrines taught by me are
not contrary to the Westminster Confession,
but that they are in accord there with;
that they are not irreconciIable with the
Scriptures. but ere the product of q CON-
prehensive study of the Scriptures. They
set forth the doctrines of the Bible, which

DUE To THE PNEUMATIC TIRE.

Mr.. bonner Talks About the Records Made
by Trotting Horses This Year.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Frederio Bonner. of
New York. is in Chicago on his way homo
from an extended tour in the West. He has
some original views on training and the
possible speed of the trotting horse. mo one
can tell. however. the limit of the speed of
q horse in these DAYS of mechanical i'm
provement." he said. in commenting on the
fast time made by ~trotters the past season.
The fast time made by o hundred horses
this year shows that 1t is the pneun attic
tire sulky that has made the difference.
When it is considered that the number of
horses that entered the 2:l5 list last year
exceeds the number of those that had trot-
ted with hat limit for all time before. ii
Is easy TO see that something caused this
great advance other than the improvement
made in breeding and training. Of
course. no one can calculate what
the improvements of the future
will do for the trotting horses.
but l stick to my original statement that
the horse will never look through a bride
and beat two minutes OH the 0ld-fashioned
track. hitched to the ordinary sulky Kite
tracks and pneumatic tires have chan ged
things for the t~rotters, but the horses max
ing this fast time by these improvements
are not greater than their predecessors by
the difference indicated by the records.
The difference in the speed of n kite track
and the old-fsshioned track has been vnri-
ously estimated from half q second 10 two
seconds. The difference in the speed q
horse can make when hitched 10 q pneu-
matic-tire suiky or an ordinary sulky ia
still greater. so that when these pbenom-
enaily fast records are made the new i'm
provements should be taken into consider.
