were then let go. This was another
we'll contested course with short mar
gins on either side, but finally won by
MeIlita who had size and endurance to
her credit.
The next course between Goodland
Kennels Rhea and loves Lone Widow
was one of the most interesting of the
first round. Odds of to 1 being offer
ed on the Widow, but Goodland money
soon cut this down to 2 to 1. After a
long course Rhea was declared the win
ner by One-half a point.
The next course between Bartel's
Beau Bromme1 and Goodland's Rock
was the occasion of showing the re-
markable endurance and staying quail
ties OF the home dog. Even money was
freely taken by both sides and during
the course 10 to was offered on Brum-
mel but Goodland money caused a hasty
withdrawal OF that statement. Rock
scored the run-up and two go-bys,
when Bronmel took the hare and
| worked it awhile, but Rock showing his
endurance and the result of his superb
training, finally recovered the quarry
and holed it, and then uncovering an
other gave chase and hoIed this also by

BROOKLYN, n. Y, February 1.-THE
Reverend Doctor L. De Witt Talmage,
of the great Brooklyn Tabernacle, Is at
all times most interesting personality.
He breaches TO the largest eonRrega-
ton in the largest church building In
the United States, and his sermons are
so judiciously sYndieated that they are
read from Florida TO Oregon and
from Maine to Texas q few days
after their delivery. He is the
bright particular, AID best-paying
star Of the lecture bureaus, and the
editor of one Of the most popular and
widely read religious publications In
the world. Unlike many OF his oreth-
rem of the cloth. DR.. 1almage is fore
sighted aud forehanded, and he deems
it not Inconsistent with his clerical
work. to guard against old age, and to
take care that the wolf Of want does
no loud bowling within hearing OF his
own private domicile.
At this time, interest in DR.. Talmage
is intensified by two facts: first, he
is about to sever his connection with
the Brooklyn Tabernacle after 3
faithful and brilliant service OF twenty
five years; and, second. he is going
to lecture to the antipodeans OF Austria
liza, taking in Ceylon, with its spicy
breezes. and India, with its rare assort-
ment OF cresds and languages, on his
way home.

learn Of his own future movements, l
called on him by appointment, a few
rights ago. In response TO my ques-
ton, the doctor replied in that prompt,
vigorous way, that distinguishes him
alike In the parIor and the pulpit:
Eyes, my decision TO leave the Taber-
nacle is final, and am not so vain as to
think that a man cannot be found to
fill my place. No one man, or no hun
dred men, or thousand men, or ten

sentence by adding, "are essential to
