Her action is superb both for harness ana
saddle. The high sensational gait OF the
hackney is somewhat toned down by the
cross breeding, and the trotting ancestry OF
her dam shows forth in a stride that not
only conquers space but eXemplifies the
most delightful poetry of motion. IL is TO be
regretted that the canons of fashion require
such a severe docking as her owner suffered
Alantna to undergo. Her magnificent con-
tour is seriously injured by this unhorse-
manlii1e practice The young horses Mr.
Fairfax took to New York show that the
hackney cross brings good size-greater
than the pure-hred hackney attains-and
there is undoubtedly a gain In form style
and harness qualities.
Qualities of the Hackney.
The hackney is unsurpassed on the road
for steady speed and endurance for long
distance. This the half-breeds are said TO
possess, as well as disposition to show
speed. which they get from their trotting and
running mothers. Mr.. Fairfax sold two OF
ais three-year-olds TO go to California for
the handsome price of s., 600. This for half
blood stock is remarkably good price, ana
seldom heard of. These two fllies will be
put TO use by their new owner before a car
riage at once in their th-ee-year-old form,
ana have the size and subs .ance to endure
steady work and plenty of St As much
could never be expected Of aay other coach
breed known to American ho-semen.
1t points moral, especially for farmers
and horsenen around Washington. Instead
OF breeding trotters and forever gambling
in the hope OF getting a Direct or a Nancy
Hanks they should study the practical busi-
ress side OF horse raising and try TO pro-
duce style OF horse for which there is and
always has been a gilt-edged demand here
in Washington right at their own doors.
There is some sense in raising thorough
bre0s, for they possess substance for work
OF the race track. and there never was a
letter horse for saddle or wagon than the
good old-fashioned English thoroughbred
The horse that is bred for mile squirt is
ali right enough, provided he can make the
squirt in 2O4. but IL he takes 80 to IL he Is
SIMPLY good for nothing-he cannot pull a
buggy or a meat wagon. is a torture under
the saddle and. with his eve neck and
llsht weight is never a thing of beauty.
The hackney half blood Is not only n
beauty, nut worker. and for him there is
To-Day the best market that any class OF
horses ever had in this country. notwith-
standing the general prostration OF the
horse market and the general financial de-
preston. If stocSmen around Washington
would take the hint given by the success
of the Fairfax half-bred hackneys in New
York they would put many dollars to their
credit and bring sunshine and prosperity
where now is only gloom and loss.

THE CULPABLE PARLOR CLOCK.
The Part 1t Plays i'm the Traditional

The Value of Property,

When people become sufficiently interest
ed again in real estate to get excited over
values. especially in connection with an as
sessment. the recent sale of property on the
north side of F street between 18th and latin
streets Will be the subject OF good deal of
argument Last week the property was Of
Tered at public sale and was knocked down
Tor Sll per foot According to the new as
sessment. the bottom value OF this property
is $50 per square foot. If it is claimed
that the price obtained al the auction rem
resents the bed rock value of the property
thea II may be argued that the valua tIon
OF the board Of revision is too low. and at
the same time il may be claimed that the
Judgment OF the first board Of assessors
Which placed valuation Of about St2 De-
square foot. was nearer to the mart
Whatever view is taken. the conclusion car,
safely he expressed that it is a very difT-
cult matter TO arrive at the true valua ton
or property. This Is especially the ,osa
~hen the law in regard to the assessment
or taxable values reads. as is the case with
the law that applies 10 property in the Dis
trlct, that the true value of proyerty should
