WILMOT VS.. THAYER.
a Notable Billiard Game to Occur
This Week.

Tuesday evening one of most the
notable billiard games in amateur
struggles will occur at Foley's. Ever
since the final game in the champion
ship tournament for the Foley emblem
Walter Wilmot has been smarting un-
der tie defeat administered to him by
Frank Thayer. Several futile efforts
were made to get Oh a game for a medal
as 1t has to be successfully defended
three times before it becomes the per-
mauent property of any amateur.
The two principals have regularly
disagreed as to dates, until Friday,
when they came together and fixed up
compromise. Pending this game, Al
Sibley made brilliant but Intellectual
effort to wrest the title from Thayer,
and now the two cracks Of that mem
orabie tournament will come together
for another struggle.
Nilmot must leave this week to join
his base ball club. and Thayer objected
to his carrying Off the trophy for the
entire season should he be SO fortunate
as to win it, aud he consequently made
the stipulation, if Wiimot wins Tuesday
evening, he will play Thayer back again
Wednesday. Wllmot at first demurred
to giving two evenings out of his last
week at home. but he finally assented.
So there is Il possibility of two games

Great Family.

Great Family.
Breeder and Sportsman.
The blood of Pilot Jr. has a great in
tiuence in helping to form the American
trotting horse, and although he himself
is dead and the last OF his produce will
be dead in 4 few years, his blood COM
ing through his descendants III the sec
ond and third generations will be valued
as highly as ever. The characteristics
of the family were great amount OF
nerye-force, quick, trappy trottlng
action, coupled with iron constitutions.
which made it admirably adapted to
cross on families that were deficient in
those qualities, although no one particu-
lar family can be picked out as one with
which its blood blended more success
fully than others. for in nearly all cases
where Pilot Jr. blood was mixed with
other families the result was something
that i'll the way Of speed cqualed, if it
did not surpaSS, anything previously
produced by those families.
larold's fastest performer was out of a
daughter of Pilot Jr.; Dictator's fastest
performer was from daughter of Pilot
Jr.; Il daughter of Pilot Jr. produced
the fastest of the Champion family; the
fastest entire son and the greatest pro-
ducing son of Mambrino Pilot were out
of Pilot Jr. mare; Belmont's greatest
son is out of a Pilot Jr. mare: Happy
Mediums greatest son is out OF a Pilot
Jr. mare, and these instances could be
multiplied were 1t necessary. The trot-
ting horse may continue TO be bred for
hundreds of years, but the name of
Pilot Jr. will occupy prominent place
in Its history with those of Mambrino
Chief and other foundation sires.

the outcome when the running of the

The dog never seemed satisfied, moped
about the house for two or three weeks

that he had been stolen, and after search

up as hopeless.
