Ing out some now star of the first magni-
tude. In 1890 Cricket, Direct, Margaret ;
and Katy : were sprung by Salisbury. In
1891 the game campaign made 10y Little
Albert attracted general pttention, while
Direct, who took record of 200, created
IA furore by beating Hal Pointer, who at
that time was regarded as invincible. In
the year 1892 Salisbury uncorked Flying
Jib and Directum. The latter took a
3-year-old record of 2:11l4. Little Albert
cut his record TO 2:l0 during this season. In
1898 Salisbury had the trump card in Di-
rectum, who made the most wonderful
campaign ever known and cut the stallion
record To 205T. Director Flower was that
year the biggest winning 2-year-old of the
year The following year Directum was In
other hands and was the greatest disap
pointmont OF the season.
In 1894, under Salisbury S management,
Alix lowered the world : trotting record to
203A, dethroning Nancy Hanks, 204.
The black stallion Directly went faster
than any 2-year old that was ever hitched
to a sulky; Azote's campaign WAS a mag
niacent one, while Expressive not only
won thousands of dollars but proved her
self the greatest 3-year-old campaigner ey-
er known.
The Salisbury string for the campaign
of 1895 is by long odds the greatest combi-
nation of light harness horses and side
wheelers ever banded together in America.
This Is the fifth annual campaign made by
Salisbury, and the prospects are very
bright for the most successful season ever
experienced by the master Of Pleasan-
ton, f" says the San Francisco Chronicles.
The bright particular star OF the aggrega
tion is Alix, the queen of the trotting turf.
whose exploits last year eclipsed Nancy
Hanks, Sunol. Maud :, Directum and all
other famous performers of the turf. 10 Is
said Salisbury believes she will this year
lower the record to 2.02 Among the othe,
stars OF the stable are Flying Jib 2 .04, the
great PAGER; Directly, 2:07A the phenom
enal 3-yoar-old side wheeler; Azute, 2 ;0SZ,
the geldng that is considered one of Alix' =
most formidable rivals; Ella T, 2l2; Ma
rim, Jr., 2:l3, and Ia other good ones.

caused such great astonishmcnt, espe

CHILDRENS' PLAY GROUND
Here's a Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.

Here's Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.
Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained in Providence during the
summer Of 1894, one each on Smiths
Hill, Atwell's avenue, and Vinton street.
They were designed ss places where chill
dren confined to the city during the hot
months, and especially children
living in the closely populated districts,
could go for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge OF kinder
gartners, whose influence was to make
the plays orderly and peaceful, and
who had at their command all the re-
sources of the kindergarten, to interest
children and lead Them in the right way.
The Fairgrounds were kept open for six
weeks, with an average attendance OF over
ninety ch ldren each week, at a total ex-
pense OF fI10 each.
This year it is proposed to establish b
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
10 to 1s years OF age, and six
men will act as leaders In the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice In
the sports, teaching new games rs well a.
the best ways Of playing old ones, making
short excursions with the boys to places
OF historic or scenic interest, and acting
In general as elder brothers.
Fairgrounds for girls and little children,
which will be conducted on much the
same plan as last year, except that
instructions will be given to the girls
in sewing and perhaps other domestic
duties, and the experience OF last year
will maze it possible to otherwise enlarge
and improve the work.
The grounds will be located In different
parts OF the city, near to or In the most
congested districts.
Contributions for the support OF the
Fairgrounds are solicited by the joint COM
mittee of the Union for Practical Progress
and the Free kindergarten Association,
and may be sent to treasurer OF the former
society, Mr.. William Z. Goodwin, 70
Market Square, ana will be acknowledge
by him.

densod but exhaustive review OF the experience
OF tho New England Colonies and States in
bank-note currency, from the earliest times
until the establish ment of the National Bank
system.
This summary is not merely valuable from
the great variety ana wide range Of expert
ence covered: but specially so for its full ac-
count OF the natural development under busi-
ness exigencies OF the volunteer system Of
bank-note redemption. which not merely
made New England pro-emInent, but gave
her bankers an advantage over those OF the
rest Of the states.
Not merely Is tho Suffolk Bank system
fully treated. but there are also noted the cir
cumstances which led to its adoption. and the
rival plan, copying It's methods. which was
put into operation just before the war.
In a sense the pamphlet may be said 60 be

RATE WAR IN PROGRESS.
Southern Railway Association Is Pre-
pared to Fight the Air Line.


The war of retaliation ON the part of the
Seaboard AIT Line againstthe southernRail-
way and Steamship Association promises
TO be a stubborn contest.
1--WE are in for the fight" is the way Mr..
W. b. Clements, District passenger agent
of the seaboard Air Line, put it last night;
and it was inferred from him that his COM
pany will not yield.
The cut is intended as retaliation for
what the Seaboard Air Line people call
a boycott, but for which the associated
railways have another name. AS the
Atlantic Coast Line has 10 proprietary line
to Atlanta il will rot affect 1T seriously,
but the Southern Railway has direct
line to Atlanta.
Mr.. Sol Haas, assistant 10 the president
OF the Southern Railway, was called on last
evening and was asked how the news OF the
cut had affected his railways interests.
He SAID that to all appearances at the busl-
ness office there was TO elect visible. He
denied that there was any boycott. All
there is in il is that on account of irregular
practices by the Seaboard Air Line the
Southern Railway and steamship Associa-
ton was compelled to protect themselves.
This was done by refusing 10 carry freight
tor the Seaboard Air Line from points con-
meeting WITH Other IOauS at lne QlNlslon
rate; and by this the Seaboard Air Line
was compelled to pay or TO have charged the
local rate on all lines in the association 10
which ittranSferred il freight
The cut of 40 per osnt. in passenger
rates is the way in which the Seaboard
Air Line proposes to retaliate. Mr.. Haas
said that the Southern Association had, of
course, not yet considered the cut. They
had no ntimation of IT except as it appeared
in the newspapers. Mr.. Haas spoke OF
the action of the Seaboard Air Line as
a desperate remedy, the catch-at-a-straw
by a drowning corporation. If IL be-
| come necessary he said that the association
would meet the Xigency.
There We're two remedies, q cut for a
| cut. or n legal process.
Mr.. Haas sad that the Seaboard Air
Line are laboring under the erroneous i'm
| preston that the people are suffering
who cannot do business on their railroad.
-6eneral Manager Green and Third Vice
| Pres dent Baldwin ara not in the city and
| Mr. Haas left here last night.
There was a report last night, which
| could not be verified here. that the Seaboard
Air Line would soon inaugurate slash
in freight rates, which would compel the
immediate attention of the larger railroads
/ TO their action.

CHRISTIAN ETHICS.
First of Series of Lectures By Rev. J
Mcbride Sterrett.

Rev. j. Mcbride Sterrett, professor Of
philosophy Ill Columbian University, de-
Iivered a lecture, the first of a course, in
the Sunday school room of Epiphany
Church yesterday afternoon, taking for
his subject Christian ethics as a science
and art
He spoke of the conception of ethics as
shown in ethical theories from Aristotle to
Herbert Spencer. All schools of ethics,
he said, now agree that the evil or the good
is social instead of merely Individual; that
it is ideal, progressive, and relative. The
one term that all writers would agree in is
that OF self-realization. The "summum
bonum" is the realization of the "sum-
mus ego" this ego or self being social
one
He discussed the truth and error of the
maxim that 1.-THE end justifies tile means, ="
showing the perversion OF it by the Jesuits
in identifying the end with form of the
visible church, TO maintain which was by
all means the highest duty and good. He
discussed the Christian doctrine of escha-
tology, and of heaven and hell, in contrast
with the Buddhistic doctrine.
The end of one, he said, is full, perfect
life, and of the other is absolute extinction
of existence, and he quoted from the shorter
Presbyterian catechsm: 1.-The chief end
of man is to glorify God and TO enjoy Him
forever"
