RUSSIAN HORSES AT THE FAIR.

Yesterday morning opr representative
had the pleasure of examining, in a cur
sorry way, the eighteen Russian-bred
horses which Captain D'Ismaioff, direc-
tor-in-chief of the imperial stud, is TAX
ing to the Worlds fair at Chicago,
whittier they strted at o'clock Monday
morning from Hoboken.
The first thing which will be remarked
is the pronounced Arab lines of every
animal in the lot, excepting only the two
year-old bay filly by ProvOznaia-Tr
ka, whose likeness as a yearlng appeared
in the Weekly Spirit of July 20. Her con-
formation is not peculiar, and one may
see her style on any track in this coun-
try. She ls, perhaps, larger than the
majority of our two-year-olds, and has
rather more length than the average
trothng-bred iilly. Still she would not
be noticed because of any popularity of
physique were she to make the circuit of
Fleetwood tomorrow.
Verboyschik, stallion, the first horse
shown. is what the Russians called a
heavy trOtter. He is eighteen years old,
about sixteen hands, perfectly white,
and of sufficient weight to draw the
heaviest coupe with ease. Indeed, he
looks like a medium weight draught

DEATH OF GREAT BROOD MARE

w. J. Howes famous brood mare. Mel
lie Lambert, died recently from injuries
received in the pasture at Cedar Meadow
stock farm at Hydeyille.
Nellie Lambert was one of the greatest
brood mares that has ever lived. Up to
the close of last season she had produced
but six foals, four of which have beaten
80, including the two-year-old filly
Madge Wilkes. , :29S, which now has a
record of :234, and will probably beat
20 this year. Madge Wilkes has now
the best record of any Vermont-bred
thIee-year-Old. Another fily, Ruth
Wilkes, took record of :204 at Hyde
Vile last week, and will have mark of
2:l5 before winter. Joe Alcyone. her
first foal, is sure to get a mark close to
20, and there is no doubt but she will
have three in the 2 20 list this year.
Nellie Lambert was sired by Daniel
Lambert. Her first dam was by Wood
burn Pilot, he by Pilot Jr., sire of the
dams of Maud S., , ;0Si, j. [. c., 2:064,
and others. Her foals are all by Victor
Wilkes. 2:294, except her first, Joe

a little boy of Mrs. McDonald's, liv.

stove and was fearfully burned. The
pain was terrible, and it was thought the
burn was so severe as to scar the child
for life. sold the lady a bottle OF
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which, after
greasing the sore, she applied. 1t soon
removed all the fire and eased the pain,
and in ten days the bow was well, no

DRACO.
SOMETHING ABOUT AN oLD-TIME NOR
GAN.

GAN.
Many of the older horsemen ia New
England, Pennsylvania and Kentucky
remember the stallion DracU, which
from 1866 to 1867 was at times quite a
prominent figure upon the trotting
tracks of New England, says the Ameri-
can Horse Breeder. He is recorded as a
black horse, foaled in 1853, and was
bred by Robert Lee of Danville. He
was an inbred Morgan, yet he was a
large horse, approaching l6 hands in
height, and in stud condition weighed
rearly 1900 pounds.
The sire of Draco was Young Morrill,
2:3l, and Young Morrill, was by Old
Morrill,, a son of the JennisOn Horse,
by Young Burush Morgan, 500 of
Bulrush Morgan, by the original JUS
tin Morgan. The dam of Young Morrill,,
as given by the American Trotting Reg
lister. was by the Locke Goss Horse, son
of Sherman Morgan. The dam of Draco
was by the Hoyt Horse, IA son of the
Bailey Horse by Woodbury. Morgan.
it lIItt lDOSl SOHS Ol JuSlllll
Morgan were Sherman. Woodbury. and
Bulrush, Draco's pedigree shows
cross of each of these and double one
to Bulrush.
Morrill,, fOaled about 1910, if the reg
lister is correct, was quite trotter. His
speed was discovered accidently, if re-
port is correct.
The story is that he was owned by
man who was engaged in the manufac-
ture of boots and shoes. He put his work
out among different parties who each had
a bench of his own, and used the stallion
Morrill, for delivering and collecting his
goods. On one of his trips he was over
taken by IA couple of young blOods, each
with team, who were having an i'm
promptu race. Seeing the man with a
wagon containing boot cases ahead of
them, they requested him, in language
''more forcible than polite, to get out of
the way. The horse, hearing the car
rlages behind, caught the inspiration and
struck out on bold trot at rate that

a reputation for speed.
Morrill, was the sire of Mountain Maid,

beating Dan Mace, Old Put, Raid and

But he who would feast his eyes should
look on the captains light saddlers, of
which Beck Boolat was the first shown.
This Is an Orlofl-A Arabian of the highest
type, and no adectives are too strong TO
describe him. lie is eleven years old;
about 10 hands; in color, the richest
chestnut; head finer than that of any
thoroughbred ever seen by the writer
perfect legs and feet; remarkably short
back with great length below; extra
ordinary depth; narrow chest finely
muscled; straight throat and lower
chest than the other Arabians have; ex-
ceptonally broad prov. His eyes ex-
press intelligence with every glance,
and wien, with pricked ears, he turns in
answer to his groom, he presents a pic
ture such as Bonheur never could repro
duce. In short, he is superb.
Tongul, anOthe: Orloff, is dapple
gray stallion, six years old. In point of
conformation he Is as handsome, or al
most as handsome, as Beck Boolat.
There is superstition among the Arabs
which renders horse marked as Tongul
is above the price of rubies. This mark
is the star, which is made by the black
spots laid, as it were, on white field
They are perfectly defined on Tongu 5
shoulders, chest and down to the knees
of the forelegs. The Arabs still believe
that the stars are Mohammed's private
trademark with apologies to the fol-
lowers of the Prophet, and, when they
are found on horse, that animal is the
object of his most distinguished care.
Guniad, chestnut stallion, four years
old. is pure Arabian of much the same
proportions as Beck Boolat. No one
ever saw a horse IN this country carry
his tail as Guuiad Goes his. He is the
prOudest creature IN the world, and when
being shown in hand looks like the
picture horse in Sir Walters The
Crusaders.
TO lovers of horses there can be no
more interesting exhibit at the Worlds
fair than they will find in the magnif-
cent specimens and of which the fore
going is an utterly inauequate descrip-
tion. They have been over month on
their long journey and are in fit con-
ditiOn now TO be shown IN any compe-
tition.-C \. Y. Spirit.

accidental discoverer of a mineral bonanza
His rise was rapid, and his stories were soon
in demand everywhere by publishers.
The delightful PARALLELS of Province"
quickly followed Mr.. Parker's first group
of stories, and soon he issued novel, 1.-The
Chief Factor" in which he invested the
early history Of the Hudson's Bay COM
pany with the glamour CT romance The
Illustrated London News is now publish
ing another novel Of his. The Trail of the
Sword, and The English Illustrated Maya
zine will soon publish still another, "A
Pardonable Liar" Besides these romances
he has done considerable work in the field
OF dramatic literature, wherein he has
achieved moro than ordinary success
Mr. Parker is but 80 years of age and
was born in Canada. His father was
British artillery officer who went to the
Dominion in the early thirties with Sir
John ColbOrne. The son was educated at
Trinity college, Toronto, and at one time
thought seriously of entering the Episco-
palian ministry, but gave up the idea to
follow his bent for literature. He lectured
for time on literary subjects at Toronto
university and then went to Australia,
where he spent several years in the employ
of the Sydney Herald, travelling about
among the islands of the South seas and
studying the conditions of lifein the south
ern hemisphere. The results of his travels
be embodied in two books, Round the
Compass In Australia" and Below the
Sun Line"
Three years ago Mr.. Parker went to
London, where he has since devoted him
self almost entirely to fiction. He has not
permitted himself to be carried away by
his sudden popularity, but keeps ever in
view the value of quality as distinguished
from quantity in his literary work. After
having written story lin the heat" as
he expresses it, he lays it aside until he
has grown cool and cynical in regard to it
and then goes over it all again with an I'M
sparing pen. He is a literary artist and
does not care to send out hasty and unfin-
ished productions

gular fact that none of his daughters SO

heat of race IN which he defeated the
famous trotter Blackstone Bell, 2:2S9,

August following, in slower time, but
the little black mare won the first and
fourth heats.
Young Morrill, was horse of wonder
full constitution. lie was foaled in 1913,
and died out ia Iowa in 1880. Young
Merritt got three trotters that beat 80
in races. They were the chestnut stall
hon Fcarnaught, 2:23a; the brown mare

stallion Draco 2:2S4. The latter won
several premiQms in the prize ring, and
also won ten races during the ten or
twelve seasons that he was upon the turf.
He Was speedy horse, but some who
knew him sag that he could not carry
his clip to the end of his qnile. Perhaps,
however, it was because be was not prop

he beat Prince and GeV. Mcclellan ia

pe-.ments With a Human Subject.
At a general meeting held the other
day by the Psychological and Neuro-
logical Society of Vienna at the gen
eral inir1nary DIR. Baron Won Kraft, q
physician skilled in the treatment of
nervous maladies, conducted series
of experiments intended to throw light
on the possibility of the mental repro
duction of an earlier condition of sx-
istence, says the New York Evening
Post. These experiments dealt, he
said, with a question of the highest
psychological interest-thati is, whether
it was possible by artificial means to
put a person back into the condition of
a former period of his life. Either
what he had to show them Wac piece
of consumnate acting or repercep-
ton of unconscious existence. In the
latter case the experiments would
prove that nothing which had once
been experienced was SO completely
forgotten that it might not in certain
exceptional circumstances be restored
to consciousness. The woman upon
whom the experiments were made was
thirty-three years of age, and had for
four or FIVE years acted as medium for
an amateur hypnotizer-a fact in itself
enough to excite suspicion. The doc
tor said that he would successfully
suggest to her while in the hypnotic
state that she was, first, at the age of
seven, then OF fifteen, and lastly of
nineteen years. and take specimens of
her handwriting at each stage of the
experiment. Her manner, he said,
would correspond TO the various ages.
The medium was then introduced and
put through the experiments. IN all of
which she is said to have exhibited a
marked naturalness and striking
change of voice, attitude and move
rnent in accordance with the different
periods OF life, her handwriting also

cussion which followed it was general

were considered TO be of sufficient in
