The advent of Jay Gould In Wall

said, country store somewhere up in

pile to fad ont what their profits
would be from this "lamb." Within a

SOME NOTED EXCEPTIONS.
or course, exceptions must be made
in the case Of such actors as the KEN

elder Mathews, and in America Il. IL.
Davenport, James Murdoch, and many
others. Although part and parcel OF
the palmy period. they they were men
OF education. 1t is doubtful, however,
il they ever evoked the enthusiasm OF
such actors as Edmund Kean, the elder
Booth, or even Edwin Forrest.
John Mccullough was the last modi-
fed exponent OF the Forrest school, FOR
public taste was changing the broad
treatment, prone to bomb2st and exag-
geration on the one hand, and the
scholarly artifciality on the other. The
work OF Henry Irving Ia England and
of Edwin Booth in America was making
its influence felt throughout stageland.

The man who owns the most remark

world is undoubtedly Cicero j. Hamlin,
the millionaire grape sugar manufac-
turer, who lives in Buffalo, and IS pro-
prietor Of the Village stock farm at
East Aurora. That farm is now the
home OF such great trotting sires as
Chimes, Mambriuo King, AlmoDt, Jr.,

confidently expected to bring the

fights out q race OF many heats with
wonderful patience aud endurance.
Village farm has grown steadily IN.

and the index of the stock includes the
names OF very nearly 400 members OF
the horss6esh sristocracy. The list OF

the list is now incomplete. o. this list

sAeACITY IN MANAGEMENT.
Each and all are managed In COM
mon interest, and they have proved
that the best service brings the largest
returns. limitations have not been
slow to follow the sagacious lead OF this
giant intellect, and the whole country,
from Main TO Florida, and from the At
lantic to the Pacific, has reaped the
benefits.
The EN- ployes Of the Vanderbilt roads
are also we'll cared for, and among them
merit is sure to meot its reward. In oil
labor agitations there has been less
trouble in the Vanderbilt system than
in any other Verify, "the masters eye
is potent spells" but Mr.. Vanderbilt,
besides being an example as man Of
business, is, although less we'll known,
equally efficient as q liberal and direct
promoter of broad philanthropies. Ad-
Joining the Grand Central Station Is
one OF the evidences OF his practical
thoughtfulness for the comfort and
welfare of the railroad employees CEN
tered there. 1t is large building, dc.
voted TO their use, containing well
chosen library OF seven thousand VOL
umes.
Mr. Vanderbilt has also built and pre-
sented TO the Young Mems Christian
Association very large and handsome
hall and reading room In the Bowery,
where the friendless men, many of them
home less, too, wandering about that
vicious locality, may be tempted to step
in aud find warmth and light and cheer
fuluess without having the intoxicating
cup held TO their lips.
Mr. Vanderbilt has one OF the hne't
collections OF works Of art in this coun-
try. This collection Is OF course private
In that 1t is not thrown open to the

mile the following year ia 2:25]4. Ia
1891 she won long list OF victories, In
GLIDING the $40, 600 Charter Oak stakes
at Hartford, Conn. The race was won
only after q nine-h6at battle, In which
Nightingale proved herself 10 be one OF
the gamest race horses living, besides
gaining the honor OF being the first
mare to win the stakes.
Ia 1899 she was driven to beat the two

Withers ooon since 1885, aud she sue
ceeded, lowering the mark TO 4:33A
At Nashville, Tenn, last fall she was
sent to reduce the three-mile record Of

years. Nightingale clipped off nearly

Of Bdwin Forrest One Of tbs Last Of lha!
School

A retrospect Of the so-called palmy
days Of the drama, o. the good, old
fashioned times OF force. OF mounting,
of rant and Of occasional matchless art,
Is subject Of considerable interest
and, psrchance. OF profitable reflection
TO many on both sides OF the foOtllghts.
The palmy period, rs the poor old
pros, now virtually al extinct species,
used fODdly to call it, was in the last
DAYS OF its existence some twenty-five
years ago and really came TO an end
with the death OF one Of the mightiess
products Of that school Of acting, the
late Edwin Forrest.

holds the three-yeor-old race record OF
9:Ossl, and in addition, there are two
other worlds records held by Village
farm. One is the double team record
OF 2:19, made by Belle Hamlin aud
Globe; the other is the triplicate team
record OF 2:14, made by Belle Hamlln,
Globe and JUstina.
Mr.. Hamlin established the Village
Farm as long ago as 1855, and was 30
years old then. BE passed the three
score and ten limit before he reached
the height OF his ambition In making
his stables the most famous in the coun-
TOW for breeding harness racers aud
harness roadsters. To 1886, when he
was twenty, be began his business ca
reer by keeping a general store at East
Aurora. De went 70 Buffalo ten years
later and made a fortune 10 the dry
goods business.

opposite their names the lowest marks
ever made 10 contested races" The
consequences OF Mr.. Hsmlin's wisdom in
breeding has been that his Village
farm stock has improved step by step
from generation TO generation, and the
average Of Improvement has been so
rapid as to astonish horsemen.
The greatest sires OF Village Farm
ara Mambrino King, Chimes and Al
mont. Jr or these Chimes stands pre-
eminent as the only trotting sire who,
at the age of nine years has had nine
2:20 performers TO his credit. Nam
brine King, acknowledged to be the
handsomest horse in the world, and
whose only rival as a stallion Is
Chimes, has a greater number OF his
offsprings in the 2:30 list than the other
three best sons Of Mambrino
Patchen combined. he added seven
new members to his family OF 2:30 per-
formers last year. he has sired two
winners at the Charter Oak $50, O00)
stakes. Almont, Jr., likewise over
shadows all other sires OF the great
Almont family, his $50 list numbering
which have records of 2:20 or better.
The most noted OF them Is Belle Ham
lin, 2:12%. The Wilkes family is also
represented by the most promising
member OF that line. He is Americas,
who made a mile at Lexington, KY, In
2:I54 when two years old. His owner
recently said OF him, with pious hope:
81 shall intermingle his blood with that
of Chimes, Mambrino King and Almont,
Jr., and trust TO Providence for the re-
suits"
Fantasy, the famous Chhaes FLY, is
wears old and has achieved reputa-
tlon unequaled by any FLY of her
years. She is probably toe most IA
vored by nature of tue Village farm
four-year-olds, for she has superb
physique and an excellent constitution.
This big daughter of Chimes won her
record Of 2:Os4 as q three-year-old al
Nashville, Tenn, last October, break
ing the existing records for three-yesr-
olds at either gait, pacing or trotting.
She trotted a mile on the Hamilton,
Ont, track on July 2 Of this year Ia
2:1O, and at Saginaw, Mich, on July
l0t Sue kIOblbu du cAhlOlbIVu mA'O ~
200. She was laid up at Detroit and
Cleveland and had little to do in But
falo. She is being saved for the South
eru tracks. Fantasy is worked care
fully, and her cleverness in turning
half mile on the Buffalo track, the
other day, in 1:O21l, indicates the form
she Is in.
aal Pointer (9:O41l) and Robert j.
(2:O5%) are the star PAGERS OF the Ham
lin stables. The first named is having
a rest this season, but his successor Is
loading the Village farm with honors
He won his record as q three-year-old at
Lexington, KY, last fall and has been
beating everything but his own record
so far this summer. He made short
work of Mascot (2:O4) in a match race
the first week of the Buffalo meeting,
and there is every probability that he
will lay the worlds pacing record at
Mr.. Hamlin's feet this fall.
Nightingale is one OF the greatest
trotters living. She is nine years old,
aad her turf career dates from 1889,
when, as q three year old, she won a
record of 2:22]5-not very low for the
daughter Of royal sire-but she was
destined for a more brilliant career
