A Poets Turn Of luck.

When six years ago Joaquin Miller
went to California and bought a tract OF
land a mile east of Oakland people
laughed, writes E. W. Box. And for
q number of years the poet himself al.
most believed that the people were right.
Miller bought at that time what was
probably one of the most unpromising
pieces of property in California. The
tract consisted of 100 acres, and nearly
all OF 1t lay on steep and stony noun.
tain side. The eccentric poet went at
the cultivation of his new possession with
will. And he did mostly all of his
work alone. Soon the property began
to show tine hand of progress. But it
required work of the hardest kind. And
during sll this time the land was fast
proving, even the poet almost believed,
the worst type of an elephant" Now,
however, the land is almost a park of the
most picturesque order. On 1t the poet
has planted %, 900 fruit trees, hundreds
of olive trees, and miles of rare roses.
Springs were introduced; trout brooks

made. Water is plentiful on the place,
and that counts for everything on Cali
fornian place. The poet is now, I am
told, beginning to see the rewards for
his labors. He ships his roses to Den
yer in the winter, and four weeks ago
one of his first shipments came to the
New York market. The roses are of the
finest specimens, command good prices,
and from this branch of his possessions
alone 1t is not unlikely that Joaquin
Miller may soon acquire neat little in
come. His place is in the direct grow
ing line of Oakland, and the city Is
gradually approaching the poets habita-
ton. He does but little work with the
pen, but devOtes nearly all his time to
the further cultivation of his place and
the development of the industries posi-
bic from its products. York Re-

The Morgan bred Vermont trotting

Morrill,, with strain of old Vermont
Black Hawk. and is indebted to that
strain for his kind disposition, style,
beauty and easy road gait. He stands

for woman to drive. He started in
two open and four 2: ~ class races this

year-old that startled old horsemen at
the Nashville meeting by going mile

After the grand trotting sales OF last
week ia New York one would naturally
expect let-up in the market, but the
facts show the contrary. Many of the
lots sold last week were weanlings,
yearlings aud old mares, and, as rule,
brought low prices. But whenever
anything that had speed or a gilt-edged
pedigree was offered, the prices were
such as to give breeders more confidence
than they felt some months ago.
"This year, says Budd Doble, "the

deprecated. 1t is good thing for the
turf, too, for horses were taking place
in the 80 list through the agency of
the time contest that had no right to
stand alongside of those that had earned
their records in hard-fought races.

NEW ENGLAND BREEDERS
NETTING

The annual meeting of the New Eng
land Trotting Horse Breeders associa-
ton, for the election of officers and other
business, was held in Boston on the 9th
inst.
The reports of the secretary and treas
urer show that the association is in re-
markably healthy condition financially
and otherwise. About S25, 900 in purses
and stakes was distributed among the
winners at the late trOtting meeting, but
unfavorable weather cut the gate re-
ceipts down to about $500 below those
of 1892. The total assets, including cash
in the treasury, are $l2,570 SO. Upwards
of $4,000 of this is entrance money to the
several stakes that have not matured.
The following were elected officers for
the ensuing year: President, John E.
Thayer; vice presidents: for Maine,
Frank II. Briggs and Manley T. Pooler !;
for New Hampshire, Warren F. Daniel
