RALPH AND MAGGIE H
Settlement of Race Which Took
Place in June.
Black Ralph Had 60 Record-Foaied in Cal.
ifOrnis in lSs9-Affiiayits From
Former Owners.

Among the June 18th events was a
mile race, trotting or pacing to har-
ness, best three in five. Among the en-
tries were William Norton's "Slack
Ralph" a PAGER, and Tom Hollinger's
Margaret H"
Norton's horse won, with Hollinger's
second and the race was decided. On
information received Mr. Hollinger
filed protest, claiming the race on the
ground that BLACK Ralph" had a Cali
fornia record. The judges revoked
their decision and agreed to wait until
Mr.. Norton would furnish satisfactory
information that his horse had never
been in race prior to this one.
Seeley Shaw took the matter in hand
and communicated with parties in Da-
yisyiile, California, where BLACK
Ralph" was foaled, and by the last
steamer he received affidavits from va
rious persons there who are thoroughly
familiar with the colts record. Below
are published two of them, one from
the original owner and the other from
the person owning Ralph before he was
shipped to Honolulu:
wv. H Marden, first being duly
sworn, deposes and says that there was
foaled upon his ranch near DavisYille,
county of Yolo, State of California,
one black pacing colt, sired by Killar-
ney, dam by Missouri Chief, second
dam Morgan mare, in the spring of
1889. That he disposed of said colt TO
Geo. Sanders in the spring of 1898;
that said Sanders was conducting a
nursery near Davisville at that time,
and used the colt for business purposes
THAT is, driving from his nursery to
town and around the vicinity on bust
ness); that said Sanders sold the colt
in August, 1894, TO G, Lindaner. Up
TO that time the colt had not been
owned outside of Yolo county and had
never been driven in a race, with the
exception Of scrub race at the Fourth
of July celebration at Davisyille in
1894. No record.
"W. H. MARDEN.'
Sworn and subscribed to before me
this 10th day of August, 1896.
ALBERT ]. PLANT,
Notary Public in and for the Coun-
" Of Yolo, State OF California"
W. Llnuaner, nfst being duly sworn,
deposes and says, that on the 18th day
Of August, 1894, at Davisville. he pur-
chased from Geo. Sanders one black
pacing horse; shipped the horse to San
Francisco, and on the Sth day of Sep
TENDER, 1894, shipped the said horse
from San Francisco to Honolulu, con-
signed to William Norton.
&C LINDANER.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 10th day of August, 1896.
ALBERT ]. PLANT,
Notary Public in and for the County
OF Yolo, State of California"
This puts an end to the dispute as to
the record Of the horse and furnishes
information upon which the judges
may decide. It might be a good thing
TO have the race over again.

CARPETS WE'RE UNKNOWN.
How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
Were Furnished

How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
Were Furnished
Carpets IN the fourteenth century were
unknown luxuries, says Good Words,
but the fashion of strewing the apart
ments with rushes was being gradually
abandoned. BUSHES were stin used in
the retainers' hall, but for the better
rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant
twigs were usually employed.
In the fourteenth century windows
were apertures filled with glass SO as
TO admit light, but to exclude wind The
walls also were frequently hung with
cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates
of the room from the many currents OF
air that penetrated the strong but bad
" built walls. We learn from various
ancient documents that it was the duty
of the serving men and pages to sweep
out the principal apartments, but as the
use of water is rarely mentioned, damp
and fragrant leaves and twigs must
have aided not only in collecting the
dust but also toward refreshing the at
mosphere in such costantly closed
rooms, fresh air being only admitted
through the doors opening on to the
battlements or balconies.
From old inventories at Thurleigh
and elsewhere we ascertain how scant-
lily furnished were these ancient man
sions, although they seem to have been
abundanuy supplied with flagons and
drinking cups in gold, silver and finely
engraved pewter, besides an infinite
number of black jacks or cups made o.
leather
