TRACK AND STABLE.

short time ago when the wave of reform
that floated over the country threatened
to eliminate betting from all of the race
tracks, dire prophecies were made by horse
men everywhere as to the outlook, not
only for the race horse owners and race
horse men and track owners generally,
but for the breeding industries. 1t was pre-
dicted on all sides that the movement would
result in bankrupting thousands Of men who
had their all tied up In breeding farms and
stock, and that many man who could then
count his wealth by the hundreds of thou
sands would be pauper il the reformers
had their way.
In some States this gloomy story
stayed the hand of the reformers They
drew off and the lawmakers were glad
enough that they did But in other States,
as in Illinois and New York, and Connecti.
cut, laws were passed that aimed straight
at their bettOrs and the running and trotting
horse people thought they were done for
The Charter Oak Association, of Hartford,
Conn, which had year after year given
one of the greatest trotting and pacing
meetings held in the United States, and
which had advertised the biggest meeting
for this year ever given by that body, with

off, and other big associations followed in
their tracks
Now those faint-hearted horsemen see
the error they made. Every good harness
meeting given this year has drawn an at
tendance not seen before in many years,
and every good meeting has made money.
Instead OF injuring the horses and their
owners and breeders, the res trictions
placed upon promiscuous gambling has
been blessing, and the outlook for the
turf has not been as bright in many year
as it is to-day.

Susquehanna Water For Philadelphia

There appears to be movement
to pipe water from the Susquehanna
river to Philadelphia. We learn
that a company has been organized
for the purpose of this enterprise
and that Frank HI, Cheyney, of
Wayne, Pa, is at the head of the
company organized for the purpose.
The new company proposes, if the
plan is accepted by the Philadel-
phia authorities, to furnish the city
several millions Of gallons of pure
fresh water each day The route
in contemplation is from Columbia
through a steel cased conduit four
teen and one-half feet in diameter,
down the Susquehanna river to a
point near Conowingo, thence across
the country to Philadelphia. The
fall from Columbia is nearly 800
feet and from Columbia to Como
wingo SO feet, which will give suf-
ficient force to insure the needed
quantity of water at all times.
1t would require rise of so feet
at ConOwingo to get over the river
hills.
