GONE GLlMMERlNG.

We trust our readers will excuse us If
we indulge in Il little feminine reasoning
to-day by gently reminding them that
tive told you So" Not long ago we
prophesied that by the end of the year
every important pacing record would be
broken, and already is our prophecy
nearly fulfilled. The following are some
of the records which, at this writing,
have been landed in the sweet by and by,
but which we chronicle with some temer-
ty, fearing as we do that by the time this
article gets into type the entire list may
appear as ancient as a last years birds
nest in the fork of dead apple tree:
Fastest mile against time Robert j. reduc.
ed from 04 to .Oll g.
Fastest mile in 1 race (Robert j. reduced
from .O4 to % ..
Fastest three heats in a race robert j. re.

Fastest gelding against time Robert b. re
duced from ~ to Ola.
SO far the yearling record of Belle
Acton 2:203 and the two. year-old filly
record of Lena Hill 212f, remains UNI
broken, but nearly all of the others
above have succumbed. This is a splendid
showing for the PAGER. 1t shows not
only that he i, improving in speed and
race horse qualities as he grows in popu-
lar form. and as more pains and care are
taken in his development, but it also
demonstrates that he is capable of reach
ing a far lower notch in speed lines than
any other harness race horse in the
world. When two-year-olds in one year
jump from , IL to 2:07f. it is time prac-
teal horsemen should stop 20 think, and
the question which naturally arises is
this: If two year-old PAGERS like Directly,
Carbonate, Judge Hurt and Theodore
shelton can he made , :l5 race horses. at
an expense of $50 or 500 for training,
what IS the use of spending five times
that much and waiting as many years to
find out whether you have got a trotter
or not: Some bursted breeder with
a lot of fairly good roadsters on his
hands will please rise and answer.

UNDER TWO Minutes.

CHILLICOTIE, o., Sept. 30.-Ihe name
of Flying Jib is on the tongue of every
horseman here tonight, on account of
the wonderful mile paced by this cele-
brated horse at the kite track today.
Flying Jib, now champion, hitched to
a running mate, paced Il mile in the
phenomenal time of :594, lowering the
record of 2.0li made by Westmont in
Chicago in 1851 at this style of racing by
p seconds.
The performance does not constitute a
record, as this method of pacemaking is
not recognized as legal and has no bear
ing on Robert Us valid record OF :0l4.
At o'clock the "Jib" was brought on
the track and in the presence of 1000
people was sent warming-up heat in
2:l5.
In few minutes he again came on the
track, driven by Andy Mcdowell, and
after scoring once his driver nodded for
the word $50"
Upon the track the fleet-footed animal
went without skip, while spectators
held their breath in amazement. In he
came to the home stretch apparently
going faster every step.
When the time of ;594 was announce
ed the spectators could scarcely believe
it, and still more dumfounded were they
when the last half of the mile was an
nounced as having been made in 5S4 Sec
onds.
This demonstrates very clearly that
the Chlllcothe track is undoubtedly the
fastest in the country, it being as smooth
MS billiard table.

a PAIR OE MORGANS.

GOV. Stewart, after much search, has
recently purchased a valuable pair of
chestnut Morgans, full sisters, by Allen
(time record 800, son of Star Ethan

man Black Hawk. Allen was very
strongly inbred in Morgan lines. He

Ethan, his sine, also inbred Morgan, his
dam being by the Churchill Horse, son
of Black Hawk, and dam of Churchill
Horse said to be by Clifford Morgan,
was one of the best of the get of Daniel
Lambert, and was, we think, one of the
most valuable stations ever owned in
Vermont. Many of his colts are very
valuable. and all those that we have
seen were typical Morgans of great excel
lence and elegance. Horses in Vermont
are rarely and colts more rarely trained
for speed. Yet Allen at the end OF last
season had seven rotters with records
better than 80.

In connection we want to say a word
of praise to those American papers de-
voted to the interest of horse breeding
that take pains in advancing the better
interests of the people in this matter,
especially the Rider and Driver of New
York and Clark's Horse Review of
Chicago. These two journals at the
present time are opponents of the pro-
gies>ive action of the American breeder.
The Rider and Driver fills a new and
very important position, and fills it we'll.
Clark's Horse Review is fearless and
brainy, The two papers seem to col
Tide good deal, but both are doing good
work; the one especially in the inter
est of the American road and harness
horse, and the other in that of the Ameri-
can trotter.
We would also congratulate these two
papers on the evident attempt they are
making through the new processes
photogravure to give to their readers a
truthful representation of horses. The
Rider and Driver took the lead in this
and ClaIk's Horse Review is now follow
ing. We had occasion to speak of this be-
fore, few weeks since, and criticised
those papers, including Clark's Horse
Review, that held to the old method
of giving false or dressed-up pictures
from artists hands. Since then we have
noticed in the Horse Review a number
of illustrations from life. Papers may
be slow to catch on to this new method
of Illustration, but the people will not be
slow to adopt those papers that do, and
give them the preference.

very attractive colt, having size, excel
lent form and superior trOtting action.
He should make one of the best of Nor
gan stations.
Either of these colts should satisfy the
wants of the corresp ondent of the Horse
Breeder. The price for Watsfeld is
$500; for Gen. Gates, $1,000; Bristol,
$1,000.
We understand that Hiram Sessions of
Middlebury has very superior three
year old bay gelding, by Joe White :
dam a Morgan. Mr. Sessions took lst
premium on this colt at the recent Adj
Olson county fair. Mr.. Lovett of Md
dlebury has another very superior colt
by Joe White. Nearly all the Joe
White colts raised in this neighborhood
have proven very good and sell readily
at good prices. We will from time to
time make mention of other mertorious
Morgan horses or colts as we shall see
or hear of them.
In the meantime is it not full time that
the Morgan breeders of Vermont organ
ize and is it not tull time that the YER
mont State Fair association recognize
the very large demand for this stock,
and institute suitable list of premiums
for this family at their next fair:
The Vermont Horse Breeders associa-
ton has done this for years. As we
know, this matter of premiums for Nor
gan classes is being agitated by num-
Der of the principal fair associations of
the country. The managers of the great
National Horse Show association of
America, the 10Th annual exhibition of
which will he held from Nov. u to Il
inclusive. at the Madison square garden,
New York, will undoubtedly offer such
premiums next year, and would, as we
understand, have done so this. had the
matter been brought to their attention
in time. We were Informed by one of
its leading managers that the New
England Breeders association, whose
meeting is held at Boston, came very
near Offering premium of $500 for the
best Morgan stallion at their last meet
ing. They undoubtedly will offer full
line of premiums for Morgans another
season; they certainly will if they keep
up with the procession, or wish to fairly
represent the wants. desires and interests
of their constituency.
The effort of Morgan breeders is TO
form a type of American road horses
that will combine the highest degree OF
speed with the greatest degree of beauty
and excellence of form. 1t is sought to
do this by the only basis upon which
such purpose could be accomplished.
that of blood. 1t Is sought to do it
because the great American nation want
it done. They want such horse and they
are bound to have it. They are bound
to have il because it is the best horse
that can be produced, for the purposes
tor which it is wanted. road and family
use; and nothing short of the best will
satisfy the advanced intelligence of the
nation. So far as other lines of breed
ing will assist to the result aimed at.
everyone will be pleased. Competition
is always desirable and the best results

Gray Wolves.

AS rule, the gray wolf soon dis
appears from settled regions. In the
United States there is probably not
one wolf today where 20 years ago
there were so. The killing of the
cattle, colts and sheep
was not to be tolerated, and bounty
was put on the gray VOLTS head, with
fatal effect. More deadly than the
steel trap or the winchester, the
strychnine bottle was universally
brought to bear upon his most vul-
nerable point-his ravenous appetite.
Even during the last days of the buff
falo in Montana, the hunters poisoned
wolves by hundreds for their pelts.

Now it is a very difficult matter to
find gray wolf, even in the wild
west, and in Montana and Wyoming
they are almost as scarce as bears. 5

These two anecdotes about the late
Jay Gould are new, and, what is bet
ter, are true: When Mr.. Gould was
a young man, in New Jersey town,
he was taken violently i'll, and lady
undertook to see him through. He
never forgot it, and when any of his
old friends of former days came to
see him-and his Office door always
had the latchstring outside for such
he was wont to ask after this par
ticular woman. She had an adopted
child, married, living in the far west,
and the lady when she became old
resolved on seeing her, and after a
years privation saved enough money
to make the journey.
Mr.. Gould happened at the last
moment to learn of her scheme, aud
post haste passes were collected for
the whole distance there and back
and mailed her without a word of
comment. The old lady could not
sleep for three nights for the special
wonder as to how Mr.. Gould had
learned of her intended trip.
At another time an old friend who
had just about lifted mortgage on
his farm was seized with infiamma-
tory rheumatism and was in the
depths of despair. Accidentally learn
ing of it, Mr.. Gould sent him check
for a good, round amount, and the
effect was electrical, for the man was
at once we'll Hardware.
