OLD POST BOY.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, April ., 1887.


MIR. JOSEPH BATTELL.
Dear SU:-Iour letter of last month
found me yesterday here: have been
here some three weeks on visit: will go
back next week to Gustnvus, Ohio. in
answer to the stallion Old Post Boy; he
was Il thoroughbred running horse, and
a good one Is ever came into Ohio, and
got first-rate stock. He was Il bay horse
and of good size. As to my age, am
- wears old. The horse came into this
country when was boy. 1t seems to
me that he came from near Philadelphia.
Pa. have been told that when he was
got his name was Bay Bolton, and his
name was changed to Post Boy. He was
the only horse of that name, ! think,
that ever came into Ohio. OF course
there were stallion colts from him called
Post Boys. 1t is my impression that the
cid horse went to kentucky some
time about 1887 or 1898. Lester Cone
used to own the old horse, and run him
all over the country. | think they used
to run him three and four miles: it used
to be said his mother was Messenger
mare. Cone, Ilutchins and pretty much
all the old ones that would know
all about the old horse are dead. Nor
man Andrews, Youngstown, Mahoning
Co., Ohio. used to raise Il number of
colts from the Old Post Boy and run
them all over the country. lie is yet
alive. He can tell you probably more
about the horse than can. He is an
old man, but his mind is all clear.
Yours truly,
LYSANDEK PELTON.

JOSEPH BATTELL, ESQ.
Dear Sr:-Yours of the 18th is at
hand. Old Post Boy was fine bay
horse; good size for a thoroughbred run
ming horse; could run four miles. As
was a mere boy when he came here, |
can't tell anything as to his age, nor Just
the year when he went to Kentucky.
Since came home a horseman said Les
ter Cones old Old Post Boy is in Bruce's
Register stud book for thoroughbreds.
and there called Bay Bolton.
! have always heard his name was Bay
Bolton when he first came here to Ohio.
| think by corresponding with Bruce
you can get all you want about Post
Boy; if YOU do, please write me your re-
suit. Yours truly,
LYSANDER PELTON.

TO THE PUBLIC.

Today's Olympian says we were ten or
fifteen minutes behind the Postal Tele.
graph in the announcement of Sulliyan's
defeat last night, and that paper gives a
detailed account OF twenty-three rounds
The Official report from New Orleans as
published in all of the Sound papers this
morning shows that only tWenty-one
rounds were fought. What does this
prove2 1t proves that the Postal Tele-
graph and the Olympian, anticipating
SulliYan's defeat not later than the twenty
third round, boldly asserted that he was
defeated in that round, several minutes
before the battle was decided. and that the
Olynlpian's account of the tWenty-first,
tWenty-secOnd and tWenty-third round is
manufactured and grossly incorrect. l
wish to say, which l can prove, that the
Western Union had the only telegraphic
wire into the Olympic club, that its wire
was at the ring side and directly connected
with our San Francisco Office and that the
time between the fighting of each round
and the reading of the bulletin of the
same by me, direct from the wire, to the
crowd assembled in and outside of our Of
ice, did not in a single instance exceed
two minutes. Very Respectfully,

RIGBY'S GUARANTEE
He will Deliver the Court House
Keys October ISt.

The Commissioners Will Receive
Bids for an Eight Dial Tower
CIOOk--TwO Car Loads OF Furni-
ture Have Arrived.
John Rigby, the court house contractor,
has, upon his own motion, guaranteed the
commissioners of Thurston county that he
would deliver them the keys of the new
court house on the first day of October,
1892. The building should have been COM
pleted in March, but the delays of weather,
ETC., are too well known to need specifca-
ton. Workmen are now engaged at laying
the tiling on the lower floors, and officers
of the county say they see no plausible
reason why Mr.. Rigby should not make
good his guarantee. Two coats of oil have
been applied to the floors and in a general
way the finishing touches are nearing an
end.
Yesterday two carloads of furniture for
the Offices arrived, but will not be removed
from the cars until the building is ready for
occupancy. There will be three carloads of
wood furniture in all. 1t consists princi-
pally of desks and chairs, of oak, finished
in antique and pollard. IL was made
expressly for this court house, by An
drews & Co., of Chicago, in accordance
with special measurements procured
for that purpose. The metallic furniture
for.the vaults and file racks has been or
dered from the Office Speciality Manufac-
turing Co. of Rochester, n. Y, and will ar
rive within few days. With the oak and
metallic furniture the Thurston court
house will be thoroughly equipped with
modern conveniences that will be invalu-
able in the speedy transaction of business
l. Harris & Sons will soon begin hanging
the window shades. Toklas & Kaufman
have taken measurements for carpeting the
private offices and will begin the work of
covering the floors as soon as the workmen
are through.
During the August session of the COIN
missiOners an order was made directing
Deputy Auditor Garfield to advertise for
bids for an eight-dial tower clock. 1t will
be necessary to procure a timepiece of spe-
cial construction, owing to the peculiarities
in the arrangement of the tower and dial
plates The bids will be opened and the
contract awarded some time in November.

Judge CanfieId an Interested Spec

Many people of Olympia will remember
Judge Garfield, of Philadelphia, who was
a guest at the Olympia hotel some weeks
ago. The hackmen and hotel attaches will
if none Others do, for the old gentleman's
amiability gave him wide and free path.
Of him the San Francisco Chronicle saws
Among the arrivals late last night was
I'll. K. Garfield, of Philadelphia. Mr.. Can
field is over 20 years old. He is the author
of several standard law books and the
founder of one or two new Western news
papers. He came all the way from the
state of Washington to see the fights.
When he left Chicago last Tuesday he was
so helpless from paralysis and rheumatism
that he had to be carried into the car. He
said he had never seen a prize fight aud
was bound to be at the ringside next week,
even if the effort cost him his life. When
he reaches New Orleans it will take two
men to keep him on his feet, but he is de-
termined to see the fights, and has already
bought season ticket. Mr.. Garfield will
no doubt be the Oldest man at the ring.''

Reports Covering the states of Pennsy .

The September crop bulletin issued by
Secretary Rusk contains the following re-
ports from state agents:
Pennsylvania-The long.continued dry
weather has had very dsmaging effect ON
late corn and potatoes. The tobacco cop
was injured in some localities by hailstorms
but the present crop is of finer quality than
that usually raised Farmers are becoming
convinced that 1t pays best TO plant only
choice varieties. Apples promised unusually
well early in the season, but latter they be-
came knotty and dropped from the trees
before maturity. Peaches suffered SIMILAR
ly. GRAPES in some parts OF the state are
injured by mildew
West Virginia--The condition of corn has
fallen off since August list, owing to the ex-
treme dry weather during the month. The
oats crop was generally poor Potatoes will
be fair crop. Stock hogs are fewer in
number and their condition is not as good
as last year.
Onio-The condition ofcorn has improved
in the middle section of the state since the
last report, hut the drought has damaged
the crop in the southern section. The yield
and quality Of wheat are disappointing pre-
vous calculations. Grasshoppers did much
damage to the oats crop and the weight per
measured bushel is less than usual. A
smaller number OF hogs is raised because Of
the past ravages of cholera in some locali-
ties. and they have been sold of closely on
account of favorable prices. Grasshoppers
have materially injured the condition OF
clover and caused many fields to be aban-
doned
