The Biggest TrOtter.-Among a lot
of horses shipped from Baltimore to Lon
don, on Thursday, by Dixon G. Walker,
was possibly the most remarkable specimen
of horse flesh which has ever crossed the
ocean. 1t is a bay geding, six years old,
which stands 1871 hands IA inches) high =
He measures ten feet from the top of the
head to the root of his tail and weighs 1000
pounds.
He is not remarkable as being the largest
horse ever shipped, because he is not the
largest, but because of his combination of
conformation and great size. He is, in fact
perfectly developed, as well as a fast trot
ter. He is as brisk and graceful as colt,
and in play rears upon his hind legs and
shakes his head as risky as kitten.
He has none of that obesity observed in
the Percheron. His muscles and tendons
stand out as well defined as those of Tom
Ochiltree, the celebrated big thoroughbred
who was so potent factor in the race in
which Parole defeated the champion Ten
Brock.
The exact breeding of this wonder is not
known. The farmer who raised him in In
diana had on the whole smaller horses than
his neighbors. The big fellow is thoroughly
broken, but the farmer said he wanted to sell
him as his little children considered it such
sport to ride the animal, and the horse took
such delight in shaking the little tots off his
back that it was feared some of the young
sters would be hurt as they had to fall "such
darned long distance"
Mr.. Walker had no order for such horse,
but he said the Englishmen so often tainted
him about Americas lack of production of
big horses that he determined to send this
specimen over.

patch from Hancock, Md, says
"The recent order of Superintendent Mic
olson prohibiting SEEMING for fish in the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is said to have
been inspired by members of the Wood.
mont Rod and Gun Club, who are making
strenuous efforts to prevent the depletion of
the fish supply.
The members of the club were exempted
from the order under the promise that all
the fish caught, large or small, would be
placed in the river to help to stock the Poto-
mac. The canal was dragged in the vicinity
OF Woodmont by the clubmen and large
catch resulted, all of which was dumped
into the river.
A number of persons, however, have been
SEEMING in disobedience to the superintend-
ents order. Unrestricted work of this kind
is fatal to the fish supply, Many persons
who thus catch the fish Gull out the large
fish and leave the small ones lie on the
banks to perish. Many fine bass have been
caught by seine in the canal this season.
Local fishermen are loud in their COM
plant about the scarcity of bass in the Poto.

becoming depleted of the gamy fish and
think this strange, as there is a fish commits
soner for Western Maryland to look after
the supply.
The fish commissioner of Pennsylvania
is taking good care of the supply in the
streams in that State, just across the border,
and anglers are hoping for an exhibition of
the same enterprise in Maryland"

An Irish Horse Show.


l saw horse show at little place
called Moate, which, however, once
gave a nights shelter to Cromwell, at
which was greatly impressed, not only
by the lepplng-Anglice, jumping-but
by the quality Of the animals, the
Craftsmanship of the riders and the ex-
traordinary interest and enthusiasm
displayed by the company, which con-
sisted for the most part of gossons sit
ting in their hundreds on q stone wall
that grit the Enclosure and giving forth
Celtic yell as the horses shirked,
cleared or missed their jump. There
was one handsome and likely-looking
mare that, no doubt from want Of due
preparation for this particular kind of
trial, was among those who elected the
first course. Her name was Dairymaid
and I overheard the observation behind
me: "Dairymaid, is it? All, well, she'd
better go home and make booter. She's
no good here"

in this eulogy of Boston man, written
by a frienS who was worth having:
Martin Brinimer, freed from private
care, dedicated himself to the common
veal. He took his part in legislation,
in charities, in education, in cultivation
of art. He mingled in all public af-
fairs-not only mingled, but led. Ma
ture had made him prepossessing. His
dignity, his deliberation, his reserve
were imposing, his gentle courtesy was
winning, and when at last he uttered
a few pregnant words in judicial tone
the majority of his hearers fancied
that he was but expressing their SEN
timents, while the minority decided
that opposition was vain. The fusion
was complete. Detroit Free Press.
