VARIOUS NOTES.
From Randall's Horse Register.l

FROM itOTSe heBlSler'
c. H. Nelson is anxious to get on a
match for the ex-champion Nelson 2 10
with the race champion Martha Wilkes.
The latter is so we'll engaged that their
meeting is improbable. There is some
talk, however, about match between
him and the fast geldlng Ryland T..
2:H4.
Speaking of the surprises" of the
Columbus CO., meeting, none of them
yet recorded could stand for moment
against the mark of the green young
horse Allie La four-year-old,by son of
Blue Bull, that won the 100 race, going
the first heat in 2:l51, going the first
half in l:044, third quarter in 81 Sec
onds.
Johnston 2:O64 is one of the marvels
of the light harness world. At 16 years
he still retains almost all his speed. In
his mile in 2:ll on the Youngstown,
O., half-mile track last week he went
the last quarter in 80 seconds.
Fldol 2 ;10i, the PAGER that has defeat
ed everything that he has met so far
this season, is a six-year-old bay horse by
Idol, son of HambletonIan. His
dam is by Stonewall Jackson, son of
Mambrino Chief, and his second dam by
Clifton Pilot, son of Old Pilot Jr. He
is therefore bred in the old, old fashion
ed way, a way, however, that will never
get out of fashion while the stars shine

Merchants familiar with mike d

paints that have been put upon the
market during the past ten years. will
tell you that many of the manufacturers
of these paints seem to think that they
could sell anything that was labelled
paint, that the merchant cared little
what was contained in these paints, and
it made no difference to the consumer.
The cheapness and convenience of mixed
paints, however, counted much in their
favor. But the demand for mixed paint
that was actually paint, and not SIMPLY
labelled paint, became apparent, and
merchants received the Chiffon Paints
when they were introduced upon the
market with the greatest of favor, be-
cause they knew that they were made
out of the best materials that could be
bought. were full measure. and that
none of the tricks used to cheaper the
cost of production were resorted to.
The merchant could recommend them.
The standard of excellence has never
been lowered. The same quality of paint

BUDO OOBLE'S VIEWS.

Budd Doble has been interviewed at
Detroit. TO the question whether the
production of faster breed of trotters
than in times past is the sole eXplana
ton for the wonderful chopping down
of records, Mr.. Doble replied:
"Horses are trotting faster each sue
ceeding year because we are continually
learning. The tracks are getting faster
as they become older, and experience in
keeping them in condition is being
gained. Improvements are being made
in sulkes, in harness and even in shoe
ing. | am frank to admit that, with all
the years of attention | have gwen to
horseshoeing, | learn something new
about it every year that enables me TO
have a shoe fitted to a little better adj
vantage to the horse. Then we have
reached the stage when the typical
thoroughbred trotter is appearing or
about to appear. By the thoroughbred
trotter | mean the horse with five crosses
of trotters, or. in other words. all of
/
on both the sire's and dams side were
trotters.
"When the conditions of the trotters
of the present day and of the past are
taken into consideration, the advance
ment in speed does not mean the re-
markable advance in development since
the day in 1858 that Flora Temple trot-
ted the first mile ever recorded in less
than = 20, as the bare records show that
Flora Temple trotted her great race
pulling 90-pound straight-axle sulky.
1t was the lightest sulky that was then
drought strong enough for race.
There were no quarter boots and toe
weights in those days, though if ever a
trotter needed them it was Flora.
have seen her trot with rags wrapped on
her quarters in place of boots. When
in 1867 drove Dexter at Buffalo on the
day he reduced the record to 2:l74, he
pulled 72-pound sulky. The builder
of it considered it an experiment and
was not sure but that it was too light for
practical use. There was a slight curve
in the axle, but it was not anything like
the curve in the axles of later sulkies.
The long thills had to be used and the
drag was just the same as with the old
straight-axle sulky. When Maud S.
was ready to make her world-beatng
record of :0Sa at Cleveland in 1885, a
40-pOund sulky with arched axles to do
away with the drag was found for her.
81 have read the interview with Rob-
ert Bonner in which he refers to the
fact that the pneumatic-tired sulky in
which Nancy Hanks trotted in 2 :04 last
year is several seconds faster than the
ordinary high-wheeled sulky, such as
Maud S. pulled in her record-breaking
mile. | use the pneumatic tire sulky
1t suits some horses better than 1t does
others, but | do not agree that it is as
much faster than the high-wheel sulky
as Mr.. Bonner claims. Mr.. Bonner
says that Maud S. might have trotted
two or three or four seconds faster than
she did had pneumatic tired sulkies been
known in 1885. l assume that this Is
probably true, and if it is it simply
bears out the point am making, that II
is within the probabilities that had toe.
weights and quarter-boots been invented
in the days of Flora Temple, and had
horsemen known the art of shoeing trot

Nine. Tateno, wife of the Japanese
minister, is very different type Of
woman. Not only does she attend all
the social affairs in Washington, but
she enjoys them keenly. She Joined her
husband year ago last winter, in the
middle OF the season. and made quite
sensation. Not that there was anything
sensational about the lady. It was be-
cause there was not that the people
were surprised. She has the eyes, and
the complexion, and the shining black
hair of the Japanese women. But that
Is all. Her dresses all come from Paris,

wore the same dainty creations of Wortl,
and Felix long before she ever dreamed
OF coming to America.
Mr.. Tateno, too, was well acquainted
with broadcloth evening suits while vet
ne was governor of the province Of
Osaka, and he long ago discarded j. atI-
anese headgear for the Partisan silk hat.
N Nine. Tateno speaks very good English.
She replied TO my questions with some
amusement. Society is not a new
thing to me-" she said, "and the habits,
and customs as well as the clothes of
England and America have been cutie i
extensively adopted in Japan. We area
progressive people," she said. .tsince
our young men have begun to look at tile
world over high collars and getting en-
gagged to Boston girls we have lost much
of our old world simplicity"
Mime. Tateno's chief impression of this
country is that it is big. The houses ar,o
big, the people are big, and, more than
all, she is impressed with tile big1ess Of
the railroad cars. She crossed the CON
tinent from San Francisco in a Pullman
sleeper, and her conversation proves that
she was very observant all the way.

Wonderful Little Paddock and Chain.

In a curious old book entitled ''The
Wonders and Curiosities of London" !"
there are the following particulars con-
cerning a minute paddock: In the
twentieth year Of the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, Mark Scarliot, blacksmith,
made q lock consisting of eleven pieces
Of steel, iron and brass, all Of which,
together with the key, weighed but a
small fraction over one grain. He also
made chain of gold, consisting of forty
three links, which, after fastening it to
the lock and key above mentioned, he
put around the neck of common flea,
the whole being SO minute that the little
insect could draw them over a silver
plate with perfect ease. All of these
together, lock, key, chain and flea,
weighed a slight fraction less than q

force and acute discrimination These
have doubtless been the factors which
more than any others contributed to her
elevation to her present high position
There are very few political writers in
the United States, but it is in that line
OF newspaper work that Miss krol1t has
earned her reputation. Miss Krout first
attracted attention as an editorial writer
on The Express, Il Republican morning
daily published in Terre Haute, Ind. It
seemed incredible that woman could
have written the bright and logical but
cutting editorials attributed to her In
1883 she received an offer to join the ed
ltorial writing staff of the Chicago Inter
Ocean and has been with that paper
ever since, At one time she acted as its
political correspondent at indianapolis
and sent in an interesting letter a col
umn in length every day, in addition to
the smaller though not less important
kilograms OF a newsy nature.
