rrottinr Tnrr Needs

What the trotting turf needs and
always has needed, is man in the
grand stand whom no driver can
bluff, wheedle or deceive, and who
knows the rules, and, knowing will
apply them impartially With
even all of these desirable adjuncts
attained, the trotting interests will
not even then have quite reached
the millennium There will be a
few open questions. still left to be
settled. One of them is as to
whether future heat contests shall
not be reduced to the best two out
of three, instead of three out of
five. On the first proposition the
verdict in it's favor ought to be I'M
animous. AS to the last one adj
vanced, it isadmitted to be debata-
BILE There is much to be said for
and against it. Certain it is that
fair trial of its efficacy will do no
material damage toany one. Tits
too lato in the season now to in
woke legislation against the pesti-
ferrous ringer in every State in the.
Union. There are ways, however,
in which these turf robbers can be
reached without special legislation,
but the penalty is not as severe as
it ought to be. Fine and impris-
onment and the confscation of the
horse should follow the detection
of man caught in the act of
"ringing," and every State Legis-
lature will not have done its full
duty toward honest horsemen until
it passes such law and sees that
the officers charged with its execu-
ton rigidly enforce it. Ashland

During the past two years some
eight or ton parties have come to
Morgantown, opened up stores,
and in few weeks auctioned off

passed law requiring all persons
who offer goods for sale at auction
that have not been assessed topay n
license fee of S25 per dny.-Mor-

when she should still be in the perfect
enjoyment of vigorous, useful health,
is either less than a nIau or else does
not know of the one remedy which
will bring her back to health and
strength. Perhaps her husband can
not persuade her to go to her doctor,
because she naturally breads the inevi-

needs persuasion, to take DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This truly won
