self admirably. The first scratch was
to the credit of Paddy. and bets were
freely offered aud as freely taken that
Joker would never scratch again. How
ever, upon the call of time Joker
darted like a javelin across the pit and
seized his big adversary as he would a
rat, only to resume his former tactics
soon after. He would throw the Chi
cago dog upon his back and then. plac-
ing his foreleg across his neck, take
a ''strangle hold" Three scratches
were uneventful, but OH the fourth
it was evident that Paddy was
not in it, He laid down like cur, and
Joker refused to punish him, except
when he made a move. In the fifth the
same thing occurred, until Paddy laid
down in the middle Of the pit helplessly,
and turned up his eyes in dying agony.
Feeley watched his opportunity and
seized his dog. 1t was then Joker's
scratch. At the word he dashed across
the pit. and Cunning Feeley had turned
his cur 'tail to-" and he laid down 50
meekly that Joker hadn't the heart to
resume hoStllities. After surveying
him for five seconds Joker began lick
tan, and instantly Feeley caught
his brute in the air, and de-
manded the fight on the ground
that it was JOker'S scratch and he did
not resume the battle. The referee
awarded the contest in that way, de-
spite the rule agreed to at the beginning
that each dog should be allowed thirty
seconds from the word go to begin fight
ing Paddy was handled by one of the
shrewdest professional dog fighters in
the country, and Joker was certainly
badly handled. There were three times
in the progress of the battle that Joker
might have been given the fight, had a
demand been made. All bets go with
the referees decision. and the referee
says his decision is final. Upon this
bets at the ring ride were given up.

Value of Good Feet.

A good horse can no more stand on
bad feet than a good house can stand
on a bad foundation. 1t matters not
how beautiful the head and neck, how

if there is canker in the hoof or I'M
sOundnesS of any kind about that men,
Der, the horse is not good one. For
this reason many buyers begin at the

UP their minds as to the horses fitness
for service. Ride horse that fiinches
with every step and you are in constant
sympathy with his suffering, and he is
aheartless man indeed who can drive a
lame horse and not suffer himself.
There are many diseases which are
located i'll the horses foot, rendering a
search often necessary to discover
them. A purchaser should, if possible,
ride or drive the animal mile or so, as
sometimes these troubles only appear
after little warming up and the cool

feet, then examine other points.

behind Conley. The fight was for 5000

he's friends were dissatisfied with
a decision of the referee and
will post money for another battle be-
tween the two men, to take place July
4. The fight was both brutal and
bloody. The first two rounds were
merely sparring exhibitions, but III the
third round both men fought vIciousiy.
Conley was terribly punished, one eye
being closed. and reeled into his corner
when the gong sounded. In the fourth
the men elinched, both falling just as
time was called. During the sixth and
seventh both men spared for wind.
The eighth opened with both tired, but
Rifle forced the fighting. A clinch fol-
lowed, and, as they separated, Conley
struck Rifle heavy blow in the neck.
When time was called for the next
round Rifle was unable to respond, and
the fight was given to COnley.

JUDGMENT AND PROFITS.
Horse Raising Pays if Properly
Managed.

Horse raising, conducted with judg-
ment, is profitable, and forms one of
the most satisfactory branches of the
farm, but if not pursued upon econom
zeal principals, and managed iudieious-
ly, serious interruption to good profits
will occur, and more money may be lost
in a given time than in almost any
other branch of the live stock industry.
One of the principal factors of loss is
forcibly outlined III the following from
the National Stockman and Farmer:
The man who would perSistently re-
fuse to lake market price for his grain,
but hold it over from year 10 year in the
hope of something turning up, with
taxes, storage and insurance it. would
be regarded as nothing short of fool
in any community. But little is said of
the man who does even worse than this
with horses. This man becomes so at
tached to his animals, and sees so many
points of excellence in them that others
fail to discover. that he repeatedly re-
fuses fair offers, aud keeps horses for
which he has little or ITO use, which eat
up all the profits they should have

TROTTING In RUSSIA.

RECORDS on DfOSChk1es, Flying
and Standing Starts.
1t is probable that trotting is more
popular i'll Russia than in any other
country outside of our own. Instead Of
sulky, however, the Russian trainer
sits on four-wheeled trap called
droschky, built very light and of the
best material, weighing more than our
sulkies aud costing twice as much. At
trotting meeting which began at Mos
cow, May 8, over 100000 roubleS were
hung up in purses and stakes. Trotting
is popular in Russia during the entire
year and, contrary to the facts here, the
ice records are not as fast as turf records.
At st. Petersburg during the past win
ter, from December to March, there
were sixteen days of Urotting on the ice,
the purses aggregating 10000 roubles.
At this winter meeting there were 1853
trotters in training, but only ninety of
these were contestants in the different
events, and siXty-twO were winners.
The best records made at the meeting
were as follows: One mile, flying start,
fOur-year-olds, 1872: one mile, flying
start, all ages. 2:261s; two miles, stand
ing start, 5:04; four versts (22s miles,,
standing start, 6:54; five versts, stand
ing start, SAB; six verStS -four niles,

Different Handling for a Nice Bal

In a recent interview with Robert
Bonner, the reporter asked: "Why is
it, Mr.. Bonner. that the same horse will
'trot steady with one driver, and break
with another?"
you've heard of the painter who
was asked how he mixed his colors. and
what his answer was: With BRAINS
Well, that's how man must drive =
with brains. A horses head and feet
must be nicely balanced to produce the
7beSt results, and it lies to large extent
with whoever does the shoeing and the
driving. Now, even poor driver could
not make Sunol break round turn.
Why? Because she has tendency to
throw her off hind foot out. Maud S, on
the contrary, sets hers inside the off
front foot in stfiding. Consequently the
two mares need different, handling.
Now, to balance Sunol perfectly round
turn her head must be held out-you
must pull on the right line, and that
throws her into the correct trotting pO-
sition-while with Maud S, her head
must he held i'll, you must pull on the
left line, and that brings her square on
her feet i'll the correct trotting posi-

every prestige gained thereby,

The dogs were not there. They were

another in a little howell near the river

accepted the situation. as trying as it
was, and scattered about the grounds
and field gathering flowers. The carpet
still had to be laid OH the floor of the
pit, and it was genuine Brussels at that.
Despite the fact that everybody wore
q smile of confidence and security, there
was spirit of unrest and manifest

His Turf Stars.
A Gathered Bouquet OF Turf
Lore From Fields Widely

In recent number of The Spirit of

has the following to say concerning a
proposed change In the trotting stand
ard:
Have the breeders of the thoroughbred
horse found it necessary to advance
their standard in order to effect more
profitable sales? By no means. Their
standard was to be eternal and forever,
the same as our standard should be.
The race horse has steadily increased
in value. Why? Not because Of f1ex'
ible, ever changing standard, but be-
cause from Intelligent selection and
| mating of race-horse families to other
race horse families the quality OF pro-
duction has gradually but steadily i'm
proved, and prices have correspondingly
advanced.
The way to maintain prices for trot-
ting horses is not in annually tinkering
with the rules of the standard for the
benefit of the few. thereby unsettllng
values, but in careful selection in mat
ing. thereby improving the race horse
and Individual quality of your stock.
High quality will always. command a
remunerative price and occasionally a
princely sum may be realized. Indiffer-
ent quality will command only indiffer-
ent prices; in other words. breed what
the market demands, letting the stand
ard agitation severely alone so long as
we breed within its present require
mentS.
Advancing the standard means 10
check registration. 70 abandon the
standard would have the same effect.
therefore as business proposition it
it would seem for the best interests of
all the breeders as well as the stock
holders OF the register association that
we adhere to our present, standard and
build as rapidly and as solidly as we
can upon the foundation already laid.
