They VIII be Assembled In Tanks In His
toric Castle Garden.
1t was happy thought that suggested
turning New York city's historic old Cas-
tie Garden into an aquarium. 1t will add
an interesting chapter to the well known
story of the old fortress which became q
concert hall and then depot for newly ar
rived immigrants, and it will make useful
n structure too sacred to be destroyed and
which yet might easily become an eyesore.
New Workers will grow proud of the old
Garden again, for it is promised that when
the transformation is fully completed and
the pools and glass tanks are properly
stocked they shall have an aquarium that
will surpass all Others in the world in size,
attractiveness and completeness.
In the center of the rotunda is a circular
pool 40 feet in diameter where a whale
will disport himself az soon as he can be
caught and confined, with dolphin or two
to keep him company. Round about the
central pool are six others, elliptical in
form and about rs feet by IL in size, where
in sharks swordfish, porposes, seals, ALI
gators and turtles will soon be at home.
These pools are all lined with white tiles
and bottomed with white sand, and the
rays of light from the roof are so directed
as to illuminate them as much as possible.
Against the circular walls of the old for
tress 80 tanks for the smaller fish have been
built, faced with plate glass and lined with
white thing. Each of the tanks is 4 by s by
10 feet in dimensions, and they are incased
in an ornamental iron frame, so th2t when
they are filled it will look to the visitor at
first glance as if the walls were hung with
| aquatic pictures Some of the tanks will

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other. We will tell you, When this
remedy is taken as soon as cold has
been contracted. and before it has become
settled in the system, it will counteract
the effect of the cold and greatly lessen
its severity, if not effectually cure the
cold in two DAYS time. and it is the ouly
remedy that will do this. 1t acts in per
feet harmony with nature and aids ma
ture in relieving the lungs, opening the
Secretions. liquefyng the mucuS and
causing its expulsion from the air cells
Of the lungs and restoring the system to
strong and healthy condition. No other

Occasionally we hear the Illogical ana
minimizing declare that the trotthg
breed is not really imp owing .much-that
the time champions of yesterday have
be IN beaten. not by better horses, but by
better tracks and sulkies. No further
answer to this pessimism need be offered
Than the cold facts from the records. To
dav we have three year-old equallng
the record of Maud $, that stood SEEM
inglv invincible from 1885 to 1871. We
have two four-vear-old stations not only
beating, but "away off" an alleged stall
lion record that stood unequaed from
1854 until 1889; and, more significant
still. we have to-day a dozen horses That
have either beaten or equaled the time
that only one had been able to touch up
till only two years ago. One phenomenal
horses performance is narrow basis ON
which to argue the progress OF a breed
but when we have dozen horses to-day
that can do what but one had done three
wears ago it Is an evidence of general i'm
prOvement.
who in 1890 IN the widest enthusiasm
would have risked his reputation for san
ity by the prophecy that in three years
three vear-old filly would equal the then
champion record of Maud S.? Yet that
unthought-of feat was accomplished at
Nashville. Tenn, on Tuesday by MIR.
Hamblin's great young mare Fantasy,
who trotted the second heat of race in
2:0Ss. There has never appeared per-
former whose chances for eclipsing all
records have seemed as bright as do those
of Fantasy, and should fortune favor her
it would not be surprising to see her az a
four-year-old move up the worlds mark
another notch in the march toward two
minutes. Fantasy was bred by Mr..
Hamlin.
A retrospective glance makes the per-
formance Of Fantasy seem all the more
marvellous, and reveals in cearer-cut
lines the rapid progress the breeders are
making in the establishment of breed
of trotters." 1t is only nineteen years

ten years ago that Kinda Rose made her

years ago that AXtell first put the three
vear-old record below 2:l5. Yet to-day
the 2 10 line is well passed, and the three
old record of 1898 equals the worlds
record for all ages of 1890. The reduc
ton Of the records by young performers
is the surest proof of the progress being
made in the work of establishing pure
and fixed breed. The thoroughbred
horse Is almost as good at three years
old as he ever is, and when the trotting
breed is brought to the same degree OF
depth and purity as the thoroughbred of
today has reached, trotters will also
reach the plenitude of their powers at
early ayes. for the reason that to those
that have the gift of extreme speed it Will

being a long and tedious work of educa-

With the exception of Mambrino Gift
and Scotland these horses are by Bel
mont, who in turn was by Alexander's
Abdallah. son Of Hambletonian and
out of maze by Manbrino Chief.
Mambrino Gift was by Relf's Mambrino
Pilot saddle record, :271, and Scotland
was by the imported thoroughbred race
horse Bonnie Scotland. But 1t is not
alone in the production of , 80 speed in
the first generation that Waterwitch is
celebrated, although what she has ac-
complished in that particular would suf-
flee to keep her name prominent in trot-
ting annals. As showing that her blood
breeds on it may be said that her son,
Mambrno Gift, who died while still
young, is the sire of seven trotters with
records of , 30 or belt while three of
his sons have sired , 80 speed and five
lock, another son of Waterwtch, has one
80 trotter to his credit. while daugh-
tiers of Waterwitch have produced seven
trotters with records of , 80 or better,
among them the promising young sires,
Egotist aud Sphinx. both of whom are
represented in the , 80 list at a very early
age. 1t was noted in these columns not
long ago that IN respect of producing
, 80 speed which bred on and also in
the matter of producing 2:20 or better
speed, the daughters of Pilot Jr. made a
better showing, numbers and opportun-
ity considered, than the daughters of any
other stallion, and as this might seem
at first blush rather strong statement
to make in respect of the daughters of
any other horse, the following summary
of what Pilot Jr. mares have accom-
plshed has been prepared:

General Raoul Francois Charles lie Mon
ton de Boisdeffre, the new chief of the gen
eral staff of the French army, is younger
than the average man who attains such an
exalted position, being not quite 81 years of
age. He was born at Alencon and comes
OF a noble family. distinguished in the mil
itary annals of France for the past two cen
turtles. One of his ancestors was wounded
at the battle of Hochstaedt and another at
Malpaquet. His father was an officer in
the army of Napoleon |, and an uncle, a
captain of hussars, was killed in the cam
paign of 1907
General de Boisdeffre was educated in the
Ecole d Fiat Major, at St. Cyr, an institu-
ton that used to turn out staff officers
ready made, but which is now abolished.
He was with Chanzy for ii years, having
first been appointed aid-de-camp on his
staff in Africa in 1869 and returned to

THE ORIGIN OF THE ARAB sTEED.


The origin of the best strain of Arabian
blood has been related by some roman
Ger. While Mohammed was fighting his
way to greatness he was once compelled
to lead his corps of 10000 cavalry for
three days without drop of water. AT
last, from a hilltop. they deserted the
silver streak of distant river. Moham-
med ordered his trumpeter to blow the
call to dsmount and loose the horses.
The poor brutes. starving for water, at
once sprang into mad gallop towards
the longed-for goal. No sooner loosened
than came the alarm-false, as it hap
pened-of sudden ambush. "rO
horse!'' was blown, and repeated by a
hundred bugles. But the demand was
too great; the parched thrOats were not
TO be refused; the stampede grew wilder
and wilder as 10000 steeds pushed des-
peratelv for the river-banks. OF all the
frantic crowd but five mares responded
to the call. TO these duty was higher
than suffering. They turned in theiI
tracks, came bravely back, pleading in
their eyes and anguish in their sunker
tanks, and stood before the prophet

France with him in 1870 De Boisdeffre
was then attached to the Thirteenth army
corps, with which he made the mastery
retreat from Menzieres to Paris, saving the
best portion of the French army from de
feat
After Paris had been invested some three
months he was charged with a secret mis-
sion to Chanzy and left the capital in a
balloon. Next day he was with his old
commander, who again made him an aid
de-camp. with the rank of major. He re-
NAMED with Chanzy throughout the Loire
campaign and was with him when he made
his famous charge that almost wrested vic
tory from the Germans after they thought
France was theirs. DE Boisdeifre remained
with Chanzy throughout the rest of his
career, going with him to Algeria when he
was appointed governor there and to St.
Petersburg when he was ambassador to
Russia, and returning with him to France
in 1882
On Chanzy's sudden death in 1883, De Bots
deffre was appointed colonel of the One
Hundred and Sixth line regiment at Chal-
ons-sur- Marine. He has been very judicous,
and if he has any antirepublican sympa-
thies as most Frenchmen of old families are
supposed to have, no one has ever found it
out. He is thin and wiry, about feet 10
inches in height, and his hair is gray. His
face is amiable and he is popular with his
men.
