beg to say in this connection that it
will be found there is a very large
contingent which will make it unpleasant
for the party, no matter where the con-
ventiOn is held, if it persists in proposing
lcgis lation which is favored unanimously
by the national bankers and great cor
porations regardless of party.

part of the friends of silver that we want
it restored to the position it held before
1873, and insist it is the sane spirit
which governs the other side. 1t will
he best for us if silver is restored and
best for them if gold is maintained in its
present position and the g%reenbacks re-

Then LET us own up and array our
selves where we belong and settle the
question without further e~quivocation.

the country with the money standard so

must be reasonable expectations Of some
thing unusual, MIR. Clark probably
argued. If he expected speed, he was
right. Pilot Medium possessed speed
and plenty of 1t. The public records do
not evidence this fact, for an injury to
his hip lost him to the turf, but it was,
nevertheless a fact. Hence his career
was necessarily limited to the stud-and
in view to what he has accomplished
there, regrets for what he might have
done as a race-horse, had fate permitted,
are vain and useless.
As a two-year-old Pilot Medium cover
ed two mares. One of these, Daisy
Dean, by Magma Charta, produced "A
black colt, Knight, who took a record of

1882, he made a season to fifteen mares,
among which was another daughter Of
Magma Charta, Carrie Russell by name, a
mere pony and considered of little value.
She foAled a grey colt the next season.
and all the world knows the history of
Jack.
Jack and Knight ''entered the list in
1899. In 1883 two rare good ones, Lady
Balloon, 4, 2:224, and Girflue, 3, 2:2Si
were placed to Pilot Mediums credit,
and in 1889 Tryolean 2;29i and Pilot II.
, :295 were added. In 1890 five more
newcomers obtained standard records,
and then, in 1891, the world at last
awoke to Pilot Mediums real greatness
when no less than sixteen more of his
sons and daughters inscribed their names
on his ''rOll of honor" The season of
1892 brought ten more; seven followed
season thirteen additional ones brought
his total up to sixty-four at sixteen
years. OF these, eighteen have beaten

Pals, in each instance in a race. b. b.
p, 4, , :093, heads the list, followed by
Pilleta 2:1l4 and Jack , :l2-and it is ques-
tionable if three faster, gamer or better
trotters may be claimed by any other
sire, living or dead, while Pilot Boy
2;l34, a new performer of 1895, is con
sldered by many the coming fastest Of
the family. As race horses the Pilot
Mediums do not yield to any tribe now
on the turf and year after year the name
of the son of old Tackey is found very
near the list of winning %sires," the
the earning capacity of his get being
fully equal to their technical speed,
while already five '%'producing sons" and
as many daughters have shown how he

Pilot Medium, as aforesaid, was a grey,
a powerful siXteen-hand horse, not IA
handsome one, but deeply impressive.
His color came from his dam and he has
transmitted it so unerringly that it be-

of no account unless he was "A grey

others, in the last few seasons, have be-

And now, Just in the f~ullness of his
powers and height of his fame, the
grim destroyer" has laid him low. In
his loss, Mr.. Clark. who has repeatedly
refused enormous sums for him, suffers
heavily, while. as We said at the outset
of this sketch, the loss to the entire trOt-
ting world could scarce be greater. lie
