CONTROVERSY OVER COMPARE
TIVE SPEED RECORDS.

Nancy Hanks, 2:04, as been shipped
to her owners farm at Ponkapog and
next spring will be bred to Arion, 2.O7
81. The queens of the turf have not
proved very prolific in years past.
Flora Temple had but very few foals,
lady Thorn two. Goldsmith Maid
three. while Maud S and Sunol have
had none, though Maud is now nearing
her nineteenth birthday She was bred
to Mr.. Bonner'S premier Sire AnseI
2:2O, and for time was Thought to be
III foal; but this proved not be to the
clse. 1t is to be hoped that Our
Nancy will be as great success in
the lllrem as she has been on the
track and that Mr.. Forbes may breed
Il world better from the two animals
which together cost him $4,000 and
whose average record is faster than
2:O6.
1t Is said that Alix. 2:O7 81, and Di-
redtum. 2:04, are to meet in n match
at Mystic park, Boston tomorrow at
ternoon. With both contestants tit and
we'll this should prove the race of the
season. On public form the stallion
should win, but racing is mighty I'M
certain business and it is not entirely
beyond the bounds Of probability that
victory will perch on the mares
sulky. Anyhow it will be a great race
and may the best horse win.
We notice that 4 prominent Wisconsin

records made to bicycle and old style
sulky and draws attention to the fact
that Il prominent turfman has finally
fixed the difference between the two at
SIX seconds; that is to say, that Maud
SIS, Dos 81, when corrected to con-
form to present modes of record break
ing, would read POP 81. We confess
that We always thought Maud the
fastest trotter that ever lived. But let
us not stop here. Let us go still farther
back in the history of harness racing.
If improvements in tracks. SlllkicS. and
racing appliances generally have added
six seconds to the speed of the trotter.
in the past ten Years, is it not reason,
able to suppose that these things have
in the past tweny years added at least
ten seconds independent entirely of
the reductions made to old style sulky
during that time! we think so In
1870 Lady Thorn went Il we'll authentic
Gated mile in 2:1O: so YOU see on the
kind of rr''""-ning that makes Maud

should b" ;tr 'olnted the greatest of
them all. N f'ct, the two minute mare

best Our Nancy" cain do we have gone
back from 200 in 1870 to 2:O2 81 in
1884 and from 2:G2 81 that year to
2.O4 i'm 1892. This year 2:O4 81 was
the fastest mike trotted so it can easily
be proved that while u" bike casts tho
glorious Glamour Of speed around the
trotter we are actually receding instead
of progressing. Still, either Maud Oh.
Nancy could easily have distanccd an
animal with all 'Thorn's speed and yet
Thorn was the best and specdieSt
mare of her day, Goldsmith Maid not
excepted. as the records show Where
are we 1t anyway?

Using q Carriage in Tangiers.

The Sultan Of Morocco is so often
rude and unmannerly to strangers that |
take pleasure in recording here the
kindly way in which he received the
request Of a German prince who some
years ago came to Tangier for his health,
says stephen Bonsal, in the August Cen
tury- He was suffering with rheuma-
tism, and brought with him his equi-
pages. The first day he attempted to
drive up and down the Malabar beach
he was stopped by the soldiers, and
forbidden to drive any further again in
the city. He Immediately appealed to
the Sultan, who wrote back the follow
ing answer, and had it dispatched from
Fee to Tangier by particularly swift
courier: Yes; he would be delighted
to have this stranger prince drive about
his city of Trangier: and he gave him
permission SO to do, but with one condi-
ton; every time he drove abroad he
would please take the wheels off his car
riage, otherwise he might run over and
seriously hurt some of the little chill
dren inthe streets.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the'needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Unclaimed Prize Money.

Said an employee of the United States

the United States navy was allowed
large sums of money for prize money.
Rear Admiral s. ?. Lee, a brother-in-
law of Frank and Montgomery Blair,
who commanded the Mississippi squad
ron, got nearly $500, 600 in this way for
captures, and Admiral Porter must have
received large sum. But there are
many instances in which those entitled
to prize money never got it. Every
sailor was entitled to his proportion,
and, while all who claimed their shares
received it, many were killed or badly
wounded, and were taken home and
died. Their prize money belongs to
their heirs. You would be surprised to
know how much of this money is I'M
