DANIEL LAMBERT,

The Rider and Driver of last week has
as a frontispiece picture of Daniel
Lambert. 1t says;
"Our frOntispiece this week was made
from a painting in the possession of Ed
ward II. Litchfield, Esq. of Brooklyn.
Those who have seen the horse say that
it Is the living image of him, and
that it is not Il fancy picture, in any
sense, the crimpiness of the hair and tail
being due to fashion in vogue during
Daniel Lambert's days.
"Daniel Lambert is the son of Ethan
Allen, record ;254, who conferred the
distinction upon the Morgan family of
providing the first stallion to beat , 80,
being the most popular and fastest horse
of his day, in 1888. in which year was
foaled his son, Daniel Lambert. Daniel
Lambert eXcelled his sire in the stud.
He was bred by w. III. Cook, of TicOn-
derOga, n Y. lie was Il chestnut, hand
some and stylish, and appeared much
larger than he was. In 1861 he made his
first and last public appearance, driven
at Saugus, Mass, by Dan Mace, winning
a race easily and taking three year-old
record of ~. His stud fee was at one
time $500. He died at Middlebury, VT,
in 1899, the property OF Mr.. Joseph Bat
tell He had thirty-siX > 80 performers.
Ethan Allen, the sire of Daniel Lambert,
was foaled in June, 1919. He was sired
by Black Hawk, by Sherman, by Justin
Morgan.
MIR. Battell IN his Morgan Register
says: Daniel Lambert was nearly lob
hands and weighed ,030 pounds; his dam
was Fanny Cook by Abdallah, son of
Mambrino. When sold and taken to Sara
tOga, he produced there a marked SEN
satiOn, not only on account of his match
less style and beauty, but for his remark
able speed also, which was sufficient to
make him the acknowledged king of the
road, even at thar famous resort of noted
horsemen. While he has proved him
self far superior to any other horse that
ever stood in New England as progeni-
tor of trotters, yet as a sire of handsome,
stylish, spirited roadsters, with speed
enough for lively brush on the road,
he has now still greater distinction, and
in this respect has probably never been
equaed. There are scores of his sons
and daughters used as roadsters, which
were never trained for speed, and never
stepped upon the track, that can beat a
, 80 horse down the road with ease, and
have beauty enough to win the admira-
ton of any hOrseman. The most of
Lambert's get are pure, open-gaited trot-
tiers which need neither boots nor
weights. They are also free, cheerful
drivers, willing at all times to do their
best without stimulation from the lash. e

people, who live on the interest OF tnelT

guilty Of wilful SANDER. do not tnlIW
that such statements from one claiming
10 be "A "sOutherner" should go uncnai-
lenged. Instead OF living on the interest
Of their debts. the people OF the South
owe less money per capita than The people
of any other section Of the United States,
and as TO not thinking of the morrow,
the rapid development of the southern
States in the past twenty years and the
increase in individual wealth are evil
dences of frulaiity and industry worthy
OF emulation' 1t may be noted that our
ing the recent depression. when banks
and business houses were failing all over
the country but few Of these failures
were IN the Southern States.
According to the census of 1880 the exist

$ll7. in New York. S2bs. in Nebraska, Slzb,
in Massachusetts, Sl4i; IN Illinois, 500,

NO AUTHORITY SHOWN.

We cannot concede that Mr.. Dawson
made out any case. in his letter to yes
terdays Times, for the city Committee
submitting to the democratic voters
the question whether they desire
change IN the city charter. After all Of
his letter is boiled down to its residum It
amounts to no more than this that the
members Of The committee have learned
that many Democratic voters desire to
express their opinion upon this point.
But many Democratic voters wish 10 DO
many other things that the city Com
mttee has nothing to do with, and 1t
had just as well take cOgnizance of
some other Of those things as of this par
authority for the Committees action,
and none exists. 1t has chosen TO usurp
an authority because IT thinks "a ma
jority of the Democratic voters of the
city Will approve of the usurpation.
But that never did and never will JUS
tify a usurpation. II the argument
could be tolerated it would produce an
archy.
It's authority and it ought to recall its
action
II it does not the Democratic voters
should declare that they want no change
In the charter. since they cannot specify
the change that they want made.

Miss Dunbar Thought She Might Never
Get Another Chance.

ST. JOSEPH. MO, August 2S.-While
William Houston. a young farmer. was
walking in the street he met number
of fashionably dressed young ladies
One Of them turned suddenly, shook
hands with him and kissed him. The
young lady was Miss Eva Dunbar daugh-
ter Of wealthy parents and well known
IN society.
As soon as she had kissed Houston
she became much confused and ran into
a millinery store, where she laughed and
cried Historically Her friends supposed
that she had mistaken the young man
for some intimate friend or relative, and
that her confusion was due 10 the dis
coyery of her mistake. They We're more
than astonished when Miss Dunbar be-
came composed enough to make an ex-
PLANTATION.

HAS MIR. MARTIN ANNOUNCED HIM
SIIEy

II is entirely probable that the people OF
Virginia will not be much longer denied
ar expression Of Mr.. Thomas s Martins
views upon silver. 1t is very possible
indeed that the expression has been made
and that Mr.. Martin has taken the side
Of free silver. The Charlottesville Pro
eress is published in Mr.. Martins own
county, and the paper has always been
his devoted friend-it would not be put
ting the case too strongly TO say ms
partisan. Discussing the subject on Mon
day last, the Progress says:
Now. we hear, through source not
seemingly authoritative bat quite posi-
tive. that Senator Martin is a free-silver
man. Says the correspondent. "but MI
Martin is not so pronounced IN his views
as Daniel He is a free-silver man some
what after the Oruer of ex-senator Hun
ton. The sound money people VINO are
claiming Martin are doing so Without
his knowledge or consent, Tor he IS
against them
The Progress does not tell us what
respondent said this. and although We
have looked over our exchanges careful
lv. we have not met with it anywhere eX-
oopt in the Progress. May there not have
been a little pious fraud on the public
In this Correspondence designed TO be a
stage upon which Mr.. Martin may APP
pear 10 announce his views?
BE that as it may, the Progress has this
TO say Of the statement:
We are not surprised at this. We are
not surprised at the achievements of any
horse raised on the blue grass of Abe
marie where he has breathed the health
giving. freedom-inspiring air of her noun
tains. Neither are We surprised that her
citizens. imbued with the loftiest aspi-
ratiOns caught from the frecdom-loVlns
heights Of our everlasting hills, should
seek the highest good themselves ana
their felOw-men. 'Montani semper IL
beri" is our motto. ana we would as soon
think of Thomas Jefferson arising from
his tomb on yonder mountain and bend
ing his neck 10 the British yoke, as 10
believe that Tom Martin. whose very
nature is saturated with the spirit OF
liberty from his very environments.
should bow to the domination of the Mo
lOch that Is trying 10 enslaye the people
of this country with a servitude more
calling than British chains would have
been.
Take the case in all its parts ana II
certainly does look like one in which Mr..
Thomas s. Martin has at last deter
mined that the time for telling the peo-
pie what he thinks of silver has arrived.
and that he is on the side of free coinage.
But IL he had still any doubts they were
probably solved when he read the article
