RECORD BREAKING EXTRAOR-
BINARY.

WHAT shaking up the records have
received during the past two weeks
Nothing like it was ever known in so
short time. First, Nancy Hanks reduc-
ed the trotting record full second to
, ;07t; then Hal Pointer comes along the
very next day and wipes out the = :0G of
Direct, placing the pacing record at
:05i. These wonderful events occurred
at Washington Park track, a regulation
course at Chicago, Ill. Before horsemen
had hardly time to. 'catch their breath"
came the news of Martha Wilkes won
derful victory at Independence, Ia, where
she won race in Pap, 2:lO, :O9t, re-
ducing the race record for trotters %
seconds.
On the same day that the wonderful
daughter of Alcyone was installed queen
of race trotters, the yearlng filly, Belle
Acton, beat the worlds record for PAGERS
of that age, making her mile in
2 :224, which is barely quarter of sec
ond faster than the 2 :22a made by
Fausta at the Stockton, Cal, kite track,
Nov. rs, 1891. One remarkable thing
about these two precOciOus record-break-
ers Fausta and Belle Acton is that both
are standardized trotters.
The new yearlng queen is by Shade
land Onward, son of Onward, 2:25t;
dam, Lottie p, 2:l7i, by Blue Bull,
Jr. On the same afternoon that Belle
Acton captured the yearling pacing
crown, Online, two-year-old daughter
of Shadeland onward, lowered the two
year-old pacing record to 2:l6, clipping
the fraction from the 2 :l61 of Manager.
Online is more intensely trotting bred
than Belle Acton. Her dam is by Ches-
ter Chief, son of Rysdyk's IIambleton-
ian, which already has five 2 80 trotters
and one producing son to his credit. The
second dam of Online is by the Mapes
Horse, another producing son of Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian. The Mapes Horse,
or Mapes Ilambletonan, as he is
sometimes called, is the sire of Mr.. j. O.
Gray's great brood mare Lady Thornton,
2;264, dam of Virginia Evans, 2;l6i.
The dam of Shadeland Onward, sire of
these pacing wonders, was Nettie Time
dam of Temple Bar, 2;l7a) by Mann
Bruno Time. The latter was by NAM
brine Patchen, out of the famous brood
mare Puss Prall by Mark Time. by Ber-
thune, thoroughbred son of Sidi Hamet.
The dam of Nettie Time was by Wards
Flying Cloud, son of Vermont Black
Hawk. Here are five records that were
all lowered within about week, and
the record-breaking season will not be
over for some time yet.
When Dexter trotted to record of
2;l7l, it was the opinion of some good
judges that the limit of trotting speed
had been reached. Even so astute
horsemen as Robert Bonner entertained
that opinion, judging from remarks with

Wallace had Lady Sheridan credited
to Confidence, son of Columbus 81,
fOaled in 1885,, which felt must be an
error, az this mare was Nova Scotia bred

daughter of that horse,
| immediately set to work to investi-
gate her pedigree, and found that she
was sired by Confidence, horse owned
by j. l.. Neary of Kentville, n. 5. Her
dam, was called Nellie Nelson, and was
sired by Brothers Pride, son of Lord
Nelson.
Lady Sheridan was bred by George
Skinner of Brooklyn street, CORVALLIS,
y. s. While | was investigating this
pedigree, | received several letters and
cards from Messrs. Skinner and Neary,
all of which forwarded to Mr.. Wallace,
and which he subsequently forwarded to
Mr.. Steiner, secretary of the new associa-
ton at Chicago. The error in substi-
tutng Seawall's Phil Sheridan was due
to the difficulty in reading Mr.. Neary's
chirography, | presume, as remember
of reading it that way myself
If | remember correctly, Mr.. Neary
wrote me that Confidence was started in
eight races and won them all, obtaining

Dart, castrated and used him on the road

Russell of Cincinnati, a horse sheer,

in 1870. Soon after the horse trotted
and won race over the old Buckeye
track at Cincinnati. The horse could

with him that year, two at Cleveland and
one at kalamazoo. My father traded him

large in letters of human blood, i'm tho
flames Of burning oil. in the smoke OF
exploding dynamite, is the declaration
that tho Republican doctrine of .'pro-
lection for the benefit of the American
laborer" is lie, n hooking falsehood
by which labor is made to prey upon it's
own vitals.
The Homestead works are controlled
by Andrew Carnegie. the twenty mil
lionairo, the apostle of high protection,
the beneficiary of tho Mckinley bill, the
munificient contributor to the Repub-
hcan campaign funds, the dear friend of
President Harrison. who cabled con-
CALCULATIONS from his Scotch castle after
the Minneapolis convention. "Protec-
ton for the American l.,borer" gave him
kingly riches-it has given his laborers
reduced wages and the bullets of mer-
cenary troops.
In time OF manufacturing prosperity
and with n prohibitive tariff TO bar out
foreign competition. Mr.. Andrew Car
negie made sweeping cut in the wages
OF his thousands Of workinen. They
struck for living wages and refused to
allow men To supplant them. He hired
Pinkerton troops, armed with Winches-
ter rifles. to reduce them TO subsection.
The Pinkcrtons fired upon the workmen
and their fire was desperately returned.
A bnttle ensued and the hireling troops
surrendered. That is the story 10 this
writing.
The moral is that protection does not
protect the laborer. The manufacturer
receives, by government decree, tribute
from NIL consumers, his laborer ihcIud-
ed. But the laborer is still dependent
upon his employer for any share il the
bounty ordained and enforced by the
government upon the pretcxt that it is
for his benefit only. Carnegics millions
multiply. but his men are made to choose
between beggary and the bullet.-Co-
