Hickok sat beside me at the time. On the 18th
OF October, 1894, 1mpetuous made the same time
on the same track and Hickok saw that race
also. Remarkable, wasn't it? OF course that
record has been beaten under a watch, but
never in race for money, and that is the only

nevertheless it is possible, and ! think will
live to see the record made by an American
horse. Now, for instance, take the two best
trotters we have, dam and a sire, and the get

Bishops experimental drink has developed an
unexpected characteristic. It's said that when
it becomes few days old it sours and under
goes peculiar fermentation which makes it
even more Intoxicating than the regular old
fashloned beer. AS a consequence an unex-

Hiram Walters, who for several wears was the
engineer on the little steamer Maid of the
Mist, which is familiar to every person who
has visited Niagara Falls, was at the New West
ern yesterday. "There are now two boats on
the river below the falls" said he, "but if

rails to Goat Island, on which supporting
tower will be built, and thence proceed to the
Canadian side, forming a cord to the bow OF
the Horseshoe Falls. The cables will be hung
at an elevation of only about thirty feet above
the water, and the projectors claim that this
means OF transportation will be fully as safe as
that of the suspension bridge"
