why an order should not be granted to

He thinks that while the improvements in
sulkieS, tracks, harness and the like will
be pronounced in their help, the scientific
application of the strict laws of heredity
and the best choice of the individuals
will be as fully answerable for that abil-
ity TO carry speed average of thirty sec
ondS to the quarter, for a mile.
Mr.. Forbes belief in the future cham
pion trotter being descended from a scion
of the Electioneer family is based on sta
tiSticS in the past five or six years. In
that time the Electioneer champions in
the different classes have been: Sunol "a
many time world beater in the annihila-
ton of records), ManZanita, Bonita, Fan
tasy, Kinda Rose, Arion, Wildf1ower,
Fred Croker, Adbell, Bell Bird, Palo
Alta
This list, and only two of them are by
sons of Electioneer, is incomparably SUI
perior to that of any other sire or even
to that of any two.
Thus the theory of Mr.. Forbes is that
the best speed producing family, rein
forced by a strain of the best obtainable
living stallion and represented by the best
individual everything considered) to the
credit of Electioneer, is the proper fount-
ain-head for a stream to produce a world
beating representative.
Taking one SO thoroughly qualified as
Arion it may be that filly out of a
mare like Nanck Hanks or a Trinket by
some speed getter of phenomenal speed
may to the cover of the premier Ponka-
pog representative, produce the two-min-
ute trotter. -d

ATLANTA's OLD CLOCK.

What caused the old black-faced clock
on Whitehall street, near the corner of
Alabama, the one with the gilded fig.
ures and the yellow hands, to stop at
the fatal moment? asks the Atlanta
Journal.
That is question many persons have
asked themselves as they have looked
at the hands of the clock. pointing for
the last few weeks at SIS That was
the exact time Of night when President
Lincoln met his death at the hands OF
John Wilkes Booth and as a silent mon
ument to Lincoln's memory the makers
of painted clocks since then have al
ways painted the hands pointing at
SIS. Nearly all off the painted clocks
have the hands marking that time and
it is strange that the clock on the cor
ner should know about it.
For more than a year the old clock
has been keeping good time for the
many shoppers who have thronged
along Whitehall street until it was a
veritable Babel of humanity, especially
during the exposition, but one night a
few weeks ago it stopped suddenly
It had been marking off the minutes
as usual until the time recorded was
SIS. Then the hands stopped.
1t was quite a coincidence and super
stitious people were inclined to catch
a tighter grip on the rabbit foot when
they saw the time at which the clock
had stopped.
1t was set in motion again ON Tues

NEW YORK, April 3.-An old man with

walked down past police headquarters.
