Fidol is liable to be one of the greatest
of the brilliant coterie of sidewheelers
that has appeared this season. He is
owned by William Rivenburg e Son,
Cedar Falls, Iowa, and has been trained
and driven in all his races by the son,
Frank Rivenburg.
The handsome bay stallion Rolfe NJ,
at the head of the Oakland stock farm,
dropped dead at the Union Park track,
Saginaw, Mich, Thursday, July -.
The cause of death was the bursting of

Nelson, and was at one time owned by

speed last year and paced heats over the
Saginaw track in :33 and 2 :26. He had
shown great speed this year, and would
surely have added another to the list of

TOTHE FRONT AGAIN.

The Hambletorian-bred trot-
tiers and PAGERS are coming to the front
prominently this season. The first rep
resentative of this line of breeding to
create a sensation is Jubilee Wilkes, by
Glencoe Wilkes, dam by Moore's Farm
er's Beauty, son of Tecumseh, by YER
mont Black Hawk. Jubilee Wilkes won
the > 81 race at Manchester, n. H., and
got a record of , 35. Last week he re-
duced his record to 2:22 at Milford,
Mass, in the first heat of race, which
is the, fastest time ever made on that
track in race by either trotter or PAGER,
says the Horse Breeder.
Mambritonian, by Belmont, is proving
a very successful campaigner, and
though only ten years OLD is the sire Of
a half dozen or more with race records
of , 80 or better. The Morgan cross is
farther away in his pedigree than in that
of the others, but it is there Just the
same. Mambrltonian's dam was by
Bourbon Chief, son of Mambrino Chief,
and out of Little Ida dam of SO So,
2:l74), by Alexander's Edwin Forrest
Little Ida's dam was by the inbred Nor
gan Red jacket, which got the second
dam of Red Wilkes.
The stallion Saladln, which reduced
the worlds mie-track stallion
pacing record to 2 :094 last week, is by
Sultan (2:24), out of Ella Lewis, which
got trotting record of 2;27 at San
Francisco, Cal, May 10, 1874. Ella
Lewis cire was Vermont, and Vermont
was by Independence, son of Vermont
Black Hawk, out of a daughter of Gif.
ford Morgan, by Woodbury. Morgan.
1t is a singular fact that Nelson, which
holds the champion stallion halfmile-
track record of the world, 2:lla; Sala-
din, the champion half-mile-track pacing
stallion of the world and Kitty Bayard.
which holds the half-mile-track trotting
race record of the world, all have a
cross of Vermont Black Hawk. Bayard,
sire of Kitty Bayard, was by Pilot Jr.,
out of Bay York, whose sire was Adams
American, and whose dam was a
daughter of Vermont Black Hawk.

STABLE FLOORS.

Everyone who has the care and clean
my of horses realizes the annoyance that
comes from wet and dirty animals, re-
sulting from lying down where there
is an accumulation of urine and manure
upon a tight floor. 10 remedy this a
very good way is to make the flooring of
strips instead of plank or cement, as is
sometimes the case, and in such man
n9r as to prevent the escape of urine.
We have seen 1t recommended to use
strips of inch board six inches wide,
setting them on the edge and keeping a
space between each strip by pieces of
lath, so that there will be no retaining of
water upon the floor. Instead of using
inch stuff, we should make the strips at
least two inches wide, and believe there
will then be no obstacle to the passing
off of the urine. The floor will thus be
kept dry and there will be less danger of
a horse lying down in urine, as may be
the case on a tight floor with the bed
ding kicked away.-[Germantown Tele-

NO GENERAL TRAINING RULES.

There are but few trainers vino will
agree upon all points in connection with
the handling of a horse from the incipi-
ency of his education to fitting him for
Il contest in race of heats. In fact,
there are no two horses probably that
require or will admit of the same sort of
care and general treatment. We under
stand that AXtell, who took a record of
2 ~ and became famous from ocean to
ocean. in his workouts that year was
never driven faster than 2:27. We have
seen horses, too, that in their first race
would finish very tired and in their race
the following week would be fresh and
strong, game to the core, which would
lead one to believe that the individual
needed strong work, nearly if not quite
up to the limit of his speed, in order to
fit him for race. 1t is impossible,
as we have said before in the columns of
this Journal, for any one to lay down
cast-iron rules for handling horses, and
there is no cause that we can bring to
mind that demands the employment of
clear thinking men to a greater extent
than the horse industry. No man can
be successful in any line of industry
who will blindly follow in the foot
steps of another. He must be independ-
ent, original and have the courage of
his convictions.- Resources.

AN AFTERNOON IN THE JAvANEsE VILLAGE.
ing heartily. For candy no big schoolgirl
is more greedy. In that way goes most of
the small change they get in gratuites. In
short, they are childlike in everything but
one-perhaps. They are not bit afraid of
soap and water. They naturally love to be
clean, and the men are much the same.
Their religion may have created the habit
in the first place, but it has become a sec
ond nature. Courtesy, too has by long
habit become organic. So has the forget
ting habit. The guards and other Amer
leans about the village say the Javanese of
both sexes can forget instructions more
easily and with less embarrassment than
any other people on the grounds. When
told thing for the seventeenth time and
reminded of tie previous times they give
a short, pleasant laugh and chatter some
thing WHICH seems to mean: "Oh, yes;
that 5 so. How careless of me to forget it,"
The Javanese theater is quite curiosity,
all the more because the dancers are
loaned for this occasion only by the only
sultan who retains any considerable powe.
in Java. The Dutch control most OF the
island AS the old heather ceremonies
which survived into Christian times in Flu
rope were regarded as the lamentations of
mere sports of children and finally lost all
meaning, so the old Buddhist ceremonies
in Java were degraded into amusements
for the conquering race, and in time none
but the sultan and his guests were even al
lowed to see them. The common people
never see dancing by women, and those in
this Javanese village have seen it here for
the first time. All the people, however,
can see the dancing of puppets or marion
cites, and very complicated set is operated
here on the same stage with the women
dancers.
The remnants of the old religion which
are shown in these dances are really Hin
doc, as the Buddhist religion came into
Java from India The women are remark
ably agile and by comical division of la.
Dor all the talking is done by one man, who
sits on the back part of the stage behind a
screen and varies his voice with surprising
success. From deep base to screaming fall
setto through all the manifestations of
love and hatred, joy, hope and despair, he
literally runs the whole show. The whole
village is, as near as is possible in this
climate, an exact reproduction of the home
article, and as each village in Java is large
ly self governing so is this one. Indeed it
is a section of Java transplanted, the Mo-
hammedan church and the theater being
exact copies.
AS the Javanese may be called Malays
with a mixture of Aryan Hindoo and Mon
golian, so the japanese may be styled Mon
golian with mixture of Malay and other
still more primitive races. But, as afore-
said, climate has done its work for many
centuries, and the latter are 10y far the more
progressive, aggressive and self reliant race.
In their village one sees a wonderful Vari-
ETY. of things which are for use rather than
beauty, and the men in charge 'mean bust
ness" Here and in the Agricultural build
ing one may study every detail of that mi
mute and painstaking agriculture by which
the japanese make each cultivated acre

WOUNDS THE FOOT.

Lockiaw in horses Is frequently caused
by the animal stepping upon a nail.
Most cases can be avoided by prompt
treatment. We clip the following upon
this subject from an exchange
"All persons owning and working
horses are liable to have them injured in
their feet by stepping on nails, thus
temporarily or permanently Gripping
them. Wounds of this sort need atten-
ton, and yet few persons under such
circumstances know what to do.
IF a wound caused by stepping on a
mil bleeds freely, so much the better.
but usually it does not. The tough,
tibrous sole is very elastic, and is apt,
therefore, to close up and prevent bleed
ing, at least very quickly after with
drawing the nail.
"When an accident of this kind occurs,
60 to the nearest blacksmith, as he has
facilities for cutting out the sole of the
foot, which should be done about the
part pierced till the blood flows freely.
Then take the horse home and wash out
the bottom of the foot, and apply to it
fiaXseed meal mixed with hot water to
the consistency of dough, which will fill
the cavity of the foot. 1t will stay with
out being bound on if the horse stands
on floor.
"Of course, anything else that will
keep the soil moist and soft and the
wound open for free discharge will do ;but
consider the flaxseed poultice far better
than any other, all things considered.
How long horse should be so kept is a
matter of judgment, depending ON how
serious the injury is. and how fast the
animal gets along to fever, etc., in the
feet and ankle.
"a wound of this sort is always at
tended with danger, and especially if the
nail inficting the injury is rusty. Many
good animal has. been lost by such an
injury that need not have been had this
treatment been known to the owner. 1t
is inexpensive, easily done, needs no
professional skill, and think it is bette r
than anything else that can be recon-
mended. Linseed meal can always be
found at every well-equpped drug store
Every country farmer should keep tw o
or three pounds of it on hand to be us ed

dexter needed no toe weights or
other appliances to make him trOt at his

gated animal But had the sulky and
other conditions that favor trotters at
this time been provided for Dexter, he
would have left mark a good many
seconds lower than he did, for he was a
wonderful horse. So, say, that while
careful and systematic breeding is pro-
ducing better trotters every year, it is
not blood alone that has made the in
creased speed. The conditions of the
trotter of the past and of the present
must not be overlooked in studying

the American trotter's descent is traced
to the thoroughbred running horse,
it is the straight trotting crosses that
VIII make the typical trotter. Notwth-
standing the late Senator Stanford's
theory about the infusion of blood of
the thoroughbred runner into the trotter
to create sustaining power, the best
trotting horses he bred were from pure
trotting horses"

FROM JAVA TO JAPAN,
HOME LIFE OF THESE ORIENTALS

Twenty-six Javanese Women Are There,
Among Them the sultan's Dancers--Jap-
anese There For Business-Their Section
In Agricultural building.
Queer and amusing indeed, and quite
clever within their limits, are the little
brown people inhabiting the Javanese vii
lage at the Worlds fair. Not quite so queer
or amusing, but far more clever-at any
rate, clever in many more things-are the
japanese, who seem at first sight to be
their near kindred. These two races are
the grand islanders of the orient and illus
trate how climatic laws operate over there
very much as they do in this western world.
The japanese are in truth, as they have
been named in compliment, the Yankees of
the east. The Javanese equally polite and
witty, are the gay and INDECENT children of
the tropics.
And yet they are happy-at least in CHI.
cago. The men go about their little tasks
with a pleasing dizziness and alacrity,
while the women, despite the fact that
their theology allows them no souls, are as
cheerful and clipper as so many hyper-Cal-
vinists or Supralapsarians. 1t will hardly
do to say that they have already developed
a capacity for Irritation, but there is some
thing in the shy way one of them offers the
visitor a cigarette just finished by her deli
cate fingers and something in the soft

They are very chldlike in their love of
sweets, and their rapid changes from grave
to gay. They weep profusely in sorrow,
then dry their eyes and may soon be laugh
