WAS AMERICAN STAR A MORGAN

Written tor the Breeder and Sportsman
OAKLAND, Cal, November Is, 1894.
My attention was called Yesterday for
the first time to an article headed
"That New Version That American Star
Was Morgan" signed VISION and
which was copied from the American
Horse Breeder to your journal of Novem-
Der g.
The personal beliefs or opinions of
this writer are not of the slightest ac-
count to anyone in the world unless to
himself, and if he can't see why horse
might inherit bad feet when his dam had
them although his sire did not have them,
that is his misfortune. This with other
difficulties of similar force which he en-
counters we shall have to leave him to
continue to wreStle with, but as this sub
iect has thus been brought up in your
journal, permit Us to correct some errors
of statement in the article mentioned
First. that Mr.. Battell's chain of evil
dence as given in his book is not com
plete, which is good coincidence Cd that
he has not begun at the right end and
worked back step by step; if he had it
is very doubtful if he would ever have
reached POmpton Plains at all.
This statement is entirely incorrect.

ECLIPSE.

This celebrated horse, bred by the
Duke Of, Cumberland, the uncle of King
George Ill, received his name in com
mcmoration of the fact that he was
foaled during an extraordinary eclipse
in the year l763. His royal breeder
predicted but did not live to see the
great performance of the horse. The
stud was dispersed by auction, and
Eclipse, then yearling, was sold. The
story proceeds Mr.. Wildman, "A sport
ing gentleman, arrived soon after the
sale had commenced. and after a few
lots had been knocked down. Producing
his watch, he insisted that the sale had
begun before the time advertised. The
auctloneer demonstrated: Mr.. Wildman
was not to be appeased, and he demand
ed that the lots already sold should be
put up again. The dispute caused loss
of time as well a sceRe Of confusion :;
the purchasers said if there was any lot
already sold which he had an inclination
to. rather than retard progress it was at
his service. Eclipse was the only one
lac had fixed upon, and was transferred
to him at the price of 4G guineas. At
four or five years old Captain O'kelly
purchased him of Mr.. Wildman for
1900 guineas.' Colonel Dennis O'kelly
(caled capt. IN in the foregoing extract
purchased the estate of Cannons, near
Edgeware, and had another estate at
EPSON, where he kept Eclipse, and had
his well-appointed training stables. On
his death in l7S7 he bequeathed Eclipse
to his brother, Philip O'Kelly, but the
horse, soon afterwards losing the use of
ms legs, was removed from EPSON to
Canons, where he died on February y,
1859. We read, "Ilis heart weighed
thirteen pounds. Tie size of this organ
was presumed to have greatly enabled
him To do what he did in speed and
strength"
The chief professor of the London
veterinary college, who dssccted
Eclipse, stated that the muscles were of
unparalleled size, al d, producing an ana
tomical plate of Eclipse, he observed
that if he had not told his hearers that it
represented a lace horse, they might
have concluded, from the size of the
muscles, that he was showing them the
plate of Il cart horse.

treatise on "The Proportions of Eclipse"
l10l' shows that the object of the author
was "to ascertain the mechanical causes
which conspire to augment the velocity
of the gallop," and that Eclipse was
taken as the race horse without equal
for the combination of speed and
strength. According to the professors
calculation, that horse, free of all weight
and galloping at liberty at his greatest
speed, could cover twenty-five feet at
each complete action, and could repeat
the action twice and one-third in each
second of time. consequently, bv en-
plOying without reserve all his natural
and mechanical faculties on straight

Mrs. Duggan witnesses many scenes
of destitution and want in the city, but
rarely does she report case such as
the Tanning family on Breaker street,

Seven children are i'll, and to add to
their sufferings there was insufficient
bed clothing and food. The Board of
Associated Charities supplied the
clothing and articles of nourishment,
and Rev. p, j. McManus has been in

ings of the Day Noted.
Two fires only a few minutes apart
occurred yesterday morning on this
side. At 1915 an alarm was sounded
from box Al. The fire was found to be
in barn owned by John Phillips, sit
uated in the rear of Pittston avenue,
near Birch street. The barn was burned
and on the northerly side of it stood
Mr.. Phillips residence. That was
badly scorched, as was the house of
Michael Battle on the left This house
was damaged quite seriously on the
sides and roof. The plastering as also
ruined. The building was insured in
an agency with C. G.. Boland e. Co.
Most of the furniture was saved. Mr..
Phillips building was insured in an
agency with Peter Robling & Son.
Twenty minutes afterWard another
alarm was sounded and many thought
that it was a second signal from the
first alarm. 1t was not; the alarm was
sent in from box 81, corner of Pros
pect avenue and River street.
Besides the Neptunes, Centurys and
William Connell companies that had
answered the first alarm, the fire of
which was about subdued when the
second alarm was sounded the Crys-
tails and the PheniX from the central
city responded. The building owned
and occupied by John Kramer in the
rear Of Irving avenue, near Hickory
street, was ablaze and burned down be-
fore much of the furniture could be
saved. Insurance to the amount of $lO0
was carried in w. f. Kiesers agency.

WHO is THE LIAR?
Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir.-I cannot resist from indulging in
the question, "Who Is the liar?" oh,
the audacity and brazen effrontery OF
NJ. Y. Burke, just imagine! When the
question was fairly put to him by an in
dignant citizen of Carbondale, Ibid you
vote for the free text book bill?' this
Burke, sir, SHE'D the castor. His honor
was touched. He demanded that q COM
mittee be appointed to investigate the
Legislative Record, knowing in his
shallow heart that the reports therein
were incorrect, and had been trans
posed and manipulated.
Truth may be crushed to the earth
for a while, maybe for years: but as
sure as Mr.. Burke voted against the
"free textbook bilr' it will exert itself
in time; and woe unto him, who may
have transgressed and encroached upon
its sacredness. This Burke, sir, has
proved himself a genuine falslfier.
With seemingly injured right he poses
before the people declaiming his inno-
cence, while q sea Of evidence to the
contrary rolls in upon him from every
side.
How did 1t come to be recorded in the
Legislative Record that Burke voted in
the affirmative? Shades of witchcraft
and jugglery! Did he have a hand in
the transposition? Why did he not
direct the committee to page S64 of the
House Journal so that they could see at
once how much he had done for the
workingman?
The workingmen have been aroused
by the exposure and misdeed of this
modern Judas. With a seeming kiss of
righteousness he embraces that en-
blem of toll, the workingman, while in
his inward self he is scheming and
planning to betray him.
Sir, the attention of the entire county
I has been drawn toward the Fourth dis
trict. 1t will be an everlasting disgrace
to the electors of that district to elect
this Burke again. Workingmen, exert
yourselves; show to the entire county
that you are men. Let your disap-
proval be stamped upon your ballots,
and crown the efforts of struggling
young man with success.
