A VAST IMPROVEMENT.
IFrom thu western HorseInan.


In no other phase of the light harness
horse business is the great improvement
in the trotting horse more plainly seen
than when large field of them appear
on the track for race. Ten or twenty
years ago in bunch of ten starters
scarcely good looking animal could be
found in the whole bunch, they nearly
all being more or less ugly, angular. i'll
shaped. i'll spOsiti0ned-a prOmscuous
lot in general. and hence the old sayings,
They go III all shapes" and "IoO good
an individual to have much speed"
The LONELINESS of the average speed
horse was proverbial, and really hand
some horse in a trOtting or pacing race
was really an object of suspicion, and
good looks and fine appearance were
regarded as Incompatible with speed and
race horse qualities. But these things
are not thus at the present day. On the
contrary, one of the first things to eX-
IA large field of horses appears on the
track is their uniform good looks and
generally good individuality. The long,
lean and lank, the eve neck and handy
shank are exceptions now instead of the
rule, and the American trotter as "a race
horse is really IL thing of beauty instead
of an EXETER of unfavOrabe comment on
individuality. At recent meeting,
! l,.r.,
the writer was particularly struck with
the uniformly fine appearance of the
starters, as well as with their uniform
speed and kindly actions. The ugly
horse, the bad actor and the "mean
gated" horse were all conspicuous by
their absence, and, regardless Of the
number of starters in a race, the func-
ton of the distance Judge was in most
instances superfluous. All starters
looked well, could 'gO sOme," and with
the fewest possible exceptions acted
well. Very plainly then the American
trotter is rapidly becoming "A fixed and
uniform type, with fixed and uniform
characteristics of size. form, action
speed, etc, and, as is plainly visible tC
every observer, these characteristics are
becoming more uniform and fixed witt
each additional trotting generation
However great have been the improve
ments in leading characteristics during
the past few years, greater still will BE-
the condensation and development o
type qualities during the next few years
and the establishment Of truly trot
ting horse family will be one of the re
alizations of the very near future
That very much more care, thought ant
judgment are being exercised than form
erly in maturing trotting animals i
very PLAIN, and that the same will yiel'
rich returns in the way of great famil!
improvements is equally true. Judg
ment in individual maturing is bringing
about wonderful results in the way o

Whenever the trotter and PAGER are
raced and the struggle to send "a horse
in harness mile in two minutes is on,
the "bicycle sulky" is used. Three
years ago the first ones out were re-
ceived with laughter, so odd did they
look beside the old high.wheeled hick-
DRY, weighing twice as much. Few are
aware that a Chicago newspaper man,
William Welton by name, an admirer of
the harness horse, and for years
rider of the bicycle, failed to hear
Dame Fortune when she tapped at his
door with the patentabe idea of the
bicvcle sulky in her hands. 1t came
about in this way. He was at that time a
reporter on a Detroit afternoon paper,
which printed also Sunday morning
edition, He had been on the paper only
week and was anxious to turn over
some good "Sunday stuff" 1t had oc-
Cured to him before this that a sulky
rugged with bicycle wheels, rubber
tires, and, above all, ball bearings,
would run many pounds easier to the
mile than the Old-style sulky, and 1t
would make several seconds difference In
the struggle to have horse trot in two

SERIOUS CRIME CHARGED.
Three of the Persons Arrested at Kelly $
Patch Committed to Jail.


Alderman Nillar gave n hearing in
police court last evening to the aggre-
CATION that was arrested in the raid
made by the police upon the dsorderly
house of Mrs. Mary Jane Mathews, in
Kelley's Patch.
1t proved to be one of the worst cases
that has been ventilated in police court
in this city. Mrs. Mathews is white
woman and she Is not fair, but she Is
fat and forty. Her husband Is col
ored man, and he is a sight to look
upon. His build countenance and gem
eral appearance are suggestive of the
rankest bestiality. He is as black as
the ace of spades.
on Memorial Day Edith McAfee, a
young white girl, Is years old, came up
from her parents home in Edwardsdale
and took apartments at the Mathews
household. She was in trouble and five
days later gave birth to 3-months-old
foetus. John Norton, a chap without
all of his wits, took the foetus and
buried it near the oxford culm dump.
Mrs. Ben johnson, a white woman,
the wife of the colored ash gatherer,
acted in the capacity of a midwife.
hTS. JbullSOIl, 4NoIlbll, VIM tiiO
foetus, and Mrs. Mathews, at whose
house the matter culminated, We're ar
raiged and Alderman Millar committed
them to Jail without bail to answer the
crime of causing the death of the infant
of Miss McAfee.
County Detective Thomas Leyshon
performed the work that led to the ar
rest of the people connected with the
matter and he has what is considered
sufficient evidence to convict the three
that have been held when the case gets
to court.
The rest of the crowd was discharged,
but during the examination of them by
Alderman Millar some disgusting de-
tails were brought out.

Institution.

The school term of the Pennsylvania
Oral School for Deaf Mutes. situated
at Jefferson and Electric avenues,
closed yesterday. During the week be-
ginning last Wednesday the school
rooms have been open for the inspection

appreciated is shown by the hundreds
who attended between the hours of a.
m. and 10 y. m.

leaving the school building practically
empty, a few matrons remaining to

she has nursed back to health many a suf-
