To The Horseme EN- of Sank Centre.
While at Sank Centre the past week.
/ saw many horses. and met a great
many horsemen who are lovers of
a fine trotting bred horse. I can not
see any reason why Sank Centre could
not be made as good horse town, as
any point in this country, ifthe owners
of the so called trotting bred stations
did not create such jealous feeling.
While it is generally known that Haz-
card Grant and Revenue do not possess
speed nor produce speed, that the owners
of these stations are making a great
mistake in prejudicing lovers of good
horses against stations that does
possess speed. and also sire speed. Geo.
Graves is bred in the lines of fashion to
sire speed and it is an established fact
that he possesses speed. and finer and
better appearing trotting bred stallion
can not be found. Mr.. Hickman and
Mr. Vesey were very brave before the APP
pointed time for race to take place be-
tween Geo. Graves, Revenue and Haz-
card Grant, but Geo. Graves was the
only horse that appeared before the
public, and the owner did not attempt
to show the full limit of his speed, but
he lett vesy favorable impression. We
feel justified in saying that Geo. Graves
in the present condition can distance
either of che above named stations and
If the owners of same are not of the
same opinion make it known and an
opportunity will be given at once.

Lynching Likely.

from a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

From STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
LA PLATA, Nd, June 29-There has
been a great awakening in Charles county,
and folks seem to be proud of themselves
and of Southern Maryland.
The cause is the lynchng early Saturday
morning of Joseph Cooking, the English
man awaiting trial for the alleged MUIR
der of his wife and her sister, Miss Miller
last April.
The population seems to think that the
1yEchng was Sn act to be proud of, and
that the lynchers are deserving of the high
est commentator; and general approval. If
not openly expressed, is certainly intimated.
The story of the lynching in detail was
correctly told in Saturdays Star, and since
that time the condition of things at Port
Tobacco has bean as unruffled as the water
in the nearby creek Twelve citizens
viewed the remains, at the direction Of
the coroner, heard what several witnesses
had to say, and promptly returned the
verdict that Joseph Cooking came to his
death at the hands of parties unknown
That marked the enc of the incident"
The citizens of Charles county never
doubted that Joseph Cooking brutally end
ed the lives of his wife and Sister-in-law ",
and the fact that he would have been
lynched the day of the discovery of the
