THE TWO MINUTE TRoTrERS.
What Nancy Hanks and the New Sulky
have done In One Year.

Since 1913, when the first 2.3O
mark was beaten by Lady Suffolk,
up to the commencement of 1892,
but five geldings and six mares have
held the worlds record, no stallion
having attained the honor. -Four
years after Lady Suffolk's 2.294
mark, Pelham, (gelding), a converted
PAGER, trotted in 2.2S. In 1858,
Highland Maid lowered the record to
2.21 The famous Flora Temple in
1886 reduced it to 2.249, and in 1859
to ,. l93, In 1867, Dexter trotted in
2.19, and afterwards in 2.17}. In
1871 a quarter of second was
Clipped off by Goldsmith Maid, and
in 1874, she set the mark at =. H. In
1873, Rarus reduced the record three
fourths of a second. One year later
st. Julien trotted in 2.123. In 1880,
Maud S. became queen by trotting in
-'il1j anu ule SulLc SeuSon Dt. ullell
again grasped the crown, trotting in
2.11i. A few weeks after, Maud S.
marked it 2.104, and still later in
2 l09. In 1881 she lowered it to
2.1Oi. Jay-Eye-See in 1884 made a
record of 2. 10, but the mare trotted
the next day in 2.O9i, and the follow
ing year set the mark 2.0Sa, which
remained until 1891, when Sunol low
cred the record to 2.0Sl.
The present year four and quar-
ter seconds has been Clipped off by
that peerless Happy Medium mare
Nancy Hanks, who covered the mile
in 2.04. 1t took eighteen years to
reduce the record the same number
of seconds, carrying it back to Gold
smith Maids time of 2. II in 1874.
The present years reduction is
largely due to the bicycle wheel ball
bearing sulky and the kite-shape
track. If G. w. Williams carries
out his scheme of covering his kite
track with plating of two inch rub
ber it would not be unreasonable to
expect to see the mile covered next
year in two minutes.
A horse to trot the mile in two
minutes would have to cover A feet
every second and would leave the
champion trotter of this year (2.04
24S feet behind. We will have to
develop speed either in breeding or
in mechanical improvements suffici-
ent to overcome 248 feet before the
two minute trotter can be realized

Cholera Again.

The continued prevalence of cholera
in Europe is exciting great appre-
hension in administration circles.
The hope heretofore entertained that
the dread disease had been extirpated
is dissipated in the face of the re-
ports of new cases, and the convict
ion is forced upon Government Off
cials that as predicted by many
scientists the disease will reappear
with increased violence in the spring.
The United States Consul at Ham
burg has sent a telegram stating
that the disease is ON the increase
there. Commenting on this, Assist
ant Secretary Spaulding said that
the situation was far from reassure-
ing, and that the cablegram was in
effect notice that this Government
must not let down the bars or relax
its exertions to keep cholera from
gaining foothold in the United
States.

Hay for Horses,

AS the feeding values of stuffs are
being investigated, it gets clearer
that immense amounts of hay for
horses have been misapplied and
worse than wasted by the farmers of
the country, says the Practical Far
mer.
A horse that is a good feeder con-
sumes more than is for his welfare,
which makes him pot-bellied, as
horsemen say. When taken out for
a drive, the stomach of the animal,
which is small compared with stom-
achs of other animals, is so crowded
with hay that he makes a sorry fig
ure in his attempt to travel if driven
faster than walk. Frequent evacu-
ations of solid matter and gaseous
emanations tell plainly of the press
ure within and its cause. | believe
it about as risky to give horses all
the hay they will eat as to give them
free access to a bin of grain.

1t pays to concentrate the prod
ucts of the soil and sell refined prod
ucts that carry the highest value
with the least exhaustion of fertility.
In one ton of hay you sell S5 times
m ore from the soil than you will in
one ton of fine butter. and you will
probably get for the hay SO and for
the butter $3.50.

MATCHED AND DRESSED FLOORING, ETC.

Two merchants, David Ochias and
Rafiel have been arrested at Vienna
on a charge of being fugitives from
justice and of having perpetrated
frauds to. the amount of $50, 900.
The Cholera Commission at Ham
burg announced that several new
cases of cholera have been developed
of the Asiatic type The report has
caused considerable apprehension,
and business men, who have been
picking up courage, are less hopeful
of the future. 1t is feared the news
will have an unfavorable influence on
steamship traffic and strengthen the
movement in America to shut out
immigration.

A general strike of dock laborers
took place at Havre, Dec. %. 1t is
believed the shipping companies will
be able to get new men to fill the
strikers places.
The hired man hates to work for
an employer who does not know
when good days work has been
done. Almost every man likes to be
patted on the back and called good
fellow once in a while
The wise farmer is the man who
looks backward and reviews his er-
ors in the past as well as his sue
cesses. 1t enables him to steer clear
of shoals in the busy work of to-day.
In the fall go through the orchard,
cut here and there a branch from the
trees, and leave it on the ground.
Rabbits will not touch the trees as
long as the branches hold out.
A good deal has been said about
the commission merchant. | am not
going to say that all commission
merchants are honest. Take them
as class, their integrity equals that
OF the growers. How many of you
put the poor apple in the middle OF
the barrel? | have seen many thou
sand barrels packed in that way.

"THE GROVE" SAFE.
A Bad Brother-in-Law
the Marplot.
Therefore HasweII and Holden Get
a Vote of Confidence From
=. ....: the Creditors.

Messrs. Haswell e. Holden. managers OF the
Grove-street Theater, were interviewed this
evening as regards notice which appeared in
an evening paper stating that the creditors
of the theater were getting frightened about
their money and mentioning possible change
In the management of the theater.
Haswel & Holden propretors Of the
theater, assert that an entirely false idea of
their affairs has been placed before the public
by GeOrgeW .Kneass, Drother-n-law of Manager
Holden; for whereas In the article above men
toned the net receipts for the past two years
are figured at from $4,000 to $4,000. the
gross receipts for the same time amount only to
Sl300o0. from which have to be deducted all
runuing expenses.
+ 1t appears that George W.Kneass was ousted
some lime ago from his position as manager
and TO this may be- attributed his present
altitude of hostility.
Holden and Haswell have both been too long
before the public to fear damage from such
statements. which might be construed as
charging them with embeZZlement. Their
books are open to inspection, showing cash
taken in and all outlays. aud small balance
on hand. As vouchers for their integrity they
quote the we'll known names Of Blythe & Trove,
Seidel & Co., kubs. Schwarke & Co. aud MIR,
Egbert of The Philadelphia Brewery.
George W. Kneass they state, by his own
policy was responsible for the beginning OF the
difficulties in which the theater is involved.
The creditors who met yesterday passed
vote OF confidence In Messrs. Haswell and Hol-
den. who Will continue to run the theater as
before. The creditors will meet again to-
morrow, when final action In the matter will
be taken.
