It is idle to deny that a large proper
ton of the people in America. and es-
pecially those who reside along the At
lantic sea board, are ferful Of cholera
epidemic in this country next summer.
While at this moment there Is no rea-
son TO believe that we shall have
cholera siege such as ragged in Europe
last year, the more conservative busl-
ness people, physicians and thoughtful
men of New York are apprehensive that
the warm weather will bring the dread
scourge to our shores. If cholera should
be brought from Europe to America
next summer, it Is more ap: to gain a
foothold in New York city than any
other place, for the other seaboard
cities can be protected much easier than
can New York. Consequently the health
authorities OF that port have already
begun active preparatio~~ to prevent its
spread in that city, an in eed they are

JOHN SPLAN'S NOTION.

II think Americans make a great mis-
take in breeding for speed only" said
John Splan recently. "rhe one aim is
to get two-mlnute horses. no attention
whatever being paid to size, looks or
soundness. We have the fast horses,
and will continue to have them until
our breeders make radical change. 1
think Germany. France and England
will be great markets in the future for
trotters, and the breeders who can CON-
bne speed and looks will find as good a
market abroad for their horses as any
other product sent out from their
shores"

allaying the colts first fear and suspic-
ions, out also rs means of control
should the youngster become too obstrep-

"I.et the pony drop back little and
then come up again-at first, few
feet or yards only, but gradually increas-
ing the distaace until he is well behind
and out of the colts sight-and in this
manner the the pupil soon learns to
travel along without company, and the
breaking is reaching the begin
ing of the end. On the third time
hitching singly, the pony starts of be-
side the colt, but Immediately falls
back and returns to the gate, the colt
going on alone. The pony is then
stationed near the the finish of the end
of the drive to encourage the colt to step
along tOthe stable.
at was owing to this mode of working
that fast youngsters are enabled to finish
the last quarter of record breaking
miles in 80 seconds. Accustomed every
time they are opened out, to coming the
last end as fast as possible, they would
settle to their work, take hold of the
bit with the utmost determination, and i,
undisturbed by the pace-maker racing
beside them, finish in way so marvellous
us to excite the admiration of all horse
men.
In making speed, yearling should be
breezed out every day. Never drive one
above three quarters of a mile, and, as
before described, always send them the
