The Globe-republican., 1892-07-04

The Board of Appeals of the Ma
tional Troting Association, while as
sembled in Chicago last week, rendered
a decision that would have been much
more valuable had it come months
ago, but which even at this time is
of almost incalculable importance to
the trotting turf. 1t was the decis-
ion by which the board refused to re-
inState Nelson, the famous trotting
stallion, and G. II. Nelson, the owner
of the animal. Both were expelled
two years ago because of deal at
Beacon Park, Boston, in which Frank
a. Noble and c. H. Nelson agreed
that Nelson, the horse. should beat
Alcryon in a SO, 900 stake race. Mel
son admitted that he had made the
agreement. giving Noble first money
on condition that Alcryon should not
be driven to win. His reason for so
doing was that he cared more for the
reputation than he did for the money.
The expulsion created great interest
and excitement in horse circles, as
Nelson, the owner. is wealthy man
and Nelson, the horse, is one of the
most noted performers in the world.
Had it been otherwise there would
have been no interest in the case,
the expulsion would have been ac-
cepted as final and nothing more
would have been heard of it; but the
matter has been hanging fire before
the board ever since, until some suspic-
ions have been aroused that the board
was hunting for way to restore the
standing of both. The application
for reinstatement was based on the
argument that at the time the race
was trotted the track over which it
was trOtted was not member of any
trotting association, and that there
fore the National or the American
had no jurisdiction. The track sub
sequently became a member, and it is
claimed that at the time of the race
the application for membership had
been filed. These, however. are mere
technicallties and so far as form goes
the turf laws offer very little safety
to any one. 1t is the enforcement of
the spirit of the rules which must be
looked to for protection from '.ring-
ing" trades and other frauds on the
track, and the board is to be con-
graduated on enforcing the spirit of
the law in this case. Nelson will be
a loss to the turf. but not so great a
loss as would have resulted from his
reinstatement. That would have
been a practical admission that a man
of wealth and influence owning a
really fast horse could tool through
the rules at will. 1t would have de-
stroyed whatever faith people have in
the honesty of the turf, and would
have established a most dangerous
precedent. The refusal to reinstate,
on the other hand, gains additional
weight from the prominence of both

Self Conceit versus Self Confidence.

'SAh inv NChTu" =
While conceit may produce a mega
lively agreeable effect it cannot be called
Il positive charm. We do not think a
person more charming because of his
conceit, and we do not encourage it in
those who are dear to us. A parent re-
presses rather than stimulates it in his
child. and a person who should plainly
ind laboriously cultivate it would not
be in peril of c~anonization. 1t is doubt
full if conceit eve accompanies real
greatness. A great man. indeed, may
have the self confidence that springs
from the consciousness Of power; but
consciousness of power is very different
from conceit of it. The on is a fact;
the other a fancy.-George William
Curtis in Harper's.

the United States during the first half Of
1872. as reported to Brads,reets South
Dakota excepted is j35l, a total slightly
in excess of the corresponding aggregate
in 1883, nine years ago, 100 less than in
the first six months of 1884
lust 10 less than in the first
half of lsS6, and III less than in
the like portion of 1890. In 1891 the hall
year aggregate was $50 larger than for the
past six months. In other words the num-

Almost within sight of the city of st.
Louis stands the largest artificial mound in
America, if not in the world. The Cahokia
mound is over 700 feet long by 800 wide at
the base and 90 feet high. It covers over
eight acres of ground and has upward of
20 900 900 cubic feet of contents. When
one reflects on the low degree of civilization
attained by the people who built this mound,
and the inadequate tools, transportation
and machinery employed, it was for the
Indians more stupendous undertaking
than would be the building of another city
like st. Louis This mound is really a
mountain and every handful of earth it
contains must have been carried thither
in hand baskets How long it took or why
it was built at all are questions that will
probably never he answered, but the stupen-
dousness Of the work cannot be called in
