All honor to the United States
and to its ancient citizens for the
service that they have rendered to
personal and political liberty, and
the same honor and greeting to
their sons, and to the adopted sons
of the Union, who are fighting po-
litically, and are ready to fight on
the bloody fields of war, for the
principles of liberty for which the
founders of the Great Republic
sacrificed their fortunes and lives
and all but their sacred honor.

In the autocratic- -monarchical
countries of Europe, and mainly
due to the progress of the United
States in self-government, and the
federation of the States into more
compact mass, since the Civil War
which, at one time, threatened to
disintegrate the Great Union. We
find that the people arc becoming
restless and clamoring for an in
crease OF personal liberty, and the
removal of Oppressive restrictions
upon freedom of action, of debate,
of expressions of opinion in the
Press, and Of futher security in
their persons and their properties
from the grasping hands OF auto,
cratic rulers and rapacious mono
poles.

So far our public spirited citizens
are not developing any extreme
energy in decorating the city for to-
morrow's festivities. One or two
saloons have put out their banners
and the "old stand by" has a fine
display, and few of the leading
stores are dressing their windows,
but with these exceptions nothing
is apparently being done and every
thing is left to the last moment.

The foundation of the United
States has even broadened the
liberties of the mother country,
from which the political errors be-
fore referred to, forced them to
separate in the interest of personal
freedom and self-Government. We
now find that after the elspse of
scarcely century and a quarter, the
people of England are more demo-
cratic than ever, and that the crown
is rather the social appanage of a
vast political republic than the
semblance Of autocratic rule.

WAITS A ROADSTER?

Horsemen have generally been con-
tent to assume that roadster is trot-
ter not fast enough for a track, and act
ing upon such an assumption they have
devoted all their energies to breeding
race horses. consOlng themselves with
the fact that if the colt does not trot
down below the thirties he may still go
fast enough for a roadster. 1t Is this
theory and the practice of it which have
brought discredit on the American trot-
ter. Horsemen are beginning to realize
that good roadster of an acceptable
type, properly broken and bitted, is
worth more than poor track performer
in fact that such animals are very
scarce, and that their owners may ask
and receive their own prices for them.
But the question, "What is a road
ster?" issstill to be answered, and not
lightly, or from any single standpoint.
1t is easier to say what the ideal road
ster should not be, namely, an under
sized, proportional and artficially-
gated animal mot fast enough to race.
y
terial in the American trotter from
which the ideal roadster could be bred.
What is wanted is an animal that can
travel right along on the road pulling
any vehicle from the light buggy or road
wagon to a runabOut or surrey. He
should be able to do a turn at a three
minute gait when required, show style
and action without weight or other ar
tifcial devices, should possess a true
open gait without booting of any sort,
and astlbut not least he should be even
tempered. level-headcd and properly
bitted.s There are not many such horses
to be had, and therein lies the breeders
opportunity.
Every mans fancy must dictate which
strain of blood he shall employ to breed
roadsters, and every market has its own
peculiarities. 1t is safe to say. however,
in general way. that no better strain
could be employed for this purpose than
the Morgan blood. No other family of
the breed of trotting horses possesses
to any great extent the qualities enumcr-
ated above. The American trotting
horse has only been Systematically bred
for little over half a century. Now
we are beginning to realize that we have
developed the greatest horse we have in
the world for all-round usefulness. We
have been misled into breeding almost
entirely for speed, but the error has been
discovered Outing, for March.

lieved to BE Immense.
The Astors--William Waldorf and John
Jacob-are undoubtedly the largest indi-
vidual owners of real estate in Gotham.
Like tho founder of their house, they have
always regarded city land as the best and
safest investment. Old John Jacob first
became real estate owner in 1889 when
be bought for S25 a lot of land on the
Bowery near Elizabeth street. Twenty
one years later he was tho largest holder
of real estate In town. and his descendants
have ever since kept the lead in this re-
spect In 1885 he sold the Aston House
for 81. William b. Astor had expressed u
desire to own it, whereupon John Jacob
told him that he would sell it to him for
the amount named. The bargain was con
cluded on the spot. The greatest care has
always been taken to keep the exact value
of the Aston estate from becoming public.
When John Jacob Aston | died, he was said
to be worth $40, 600, 000 AT William b.
Astor's death it was reputed that he was
worth $50, 600, 900, but this estimate has
been declared too low. A few millions
could be added with safety at present, and
every hour increases the valuation.
Ever since 1911 the Aston family has
been putting its spare change into Man
haitian Island real estate. Rents which
Rccrued were reinvested with "a particular
view to the location of the property. John
Jacob and William Waldorf have continued

One real estate authority, in speaking
about the Aston land holdings, said that
south of Eighty-siXth street it included 20
acres of soil solidly built up. Yet this
large amount OF property does not amount
to more than half of the Aston estate
which owns land and buildings around
jerome park and along Riverside drive
and the boulevard. it is the business Gus
tom of the Astors to give leaseholds of 2l
years, on which the lessecs build, the lease
being subject to renewal at the end of 81
years on IL rcappraiscmcnt. The ground
rents for these properties 90 to the es-
tate, but on the assessment books the
property does not appear in the name Of
the Astors. That 5 why their great wealth

BLUE BULLS DAUGHTERS.
From the Horse Review


The favorable and flattering manner in
which Blue Bull - has been referred to
by turf writers during the past few
months is most convincing proof that at
last this noted sire of speed is being APP
preciated for his noble achievements in
perpetuating his great qualities. But
the most remarkable feature of his sue
cess in this connection is that it mattereu
not with what kind of mares he was
mated. extreme speed was the unfailing
result, and his brilliant list of producing
daughters is sure to make the name of
Blue Bull - ever famous i'm the annals
of the light harness horse. When cross
ed with mares of better individuality and
pedigree his success was marvellous, as
for instance Miss Wilson, who has to her
credit two such fast performers as Anti
dote 2:l04 and Jenny Role 2:l3, while
the many others with records in fast
time whose dams are of unknown pedi-
gree shows how prepotent this famous
horse was in transmitting his great speed
qualities. Blue Bull - was the leading
sire by long odds of producing dams of
1898, and a brief glance at the subioined
list of the get of these mares will show
that uniform and extreme speed is one
of the greatest characteristics of the
progeny of Blue Bulls daughters

haps, it is not generally known that
in this respect even the eternal Alps

Monte Rosa were so largely exploited
in his day that law was made for
bidding the employment Of more than
5000 men in them at any one time.
Apparently they have never lain quite
idle since Roman times. A few months

Macugnaga, and there may be more
now. Two other gold mines are being
actively worked, each being within
two or three hours tramp from
Alagna. Macugnaga is eight hours

perhaps, eleven hours of. I'm this

Winds Affecting Lake Levels.

The subject of lake levels being just
now a subject of discussion it seems
appropriate to call attention to one
factor of the subject not generally I'M
derstood, namely: the vast influence
of the prevailing winds as affecting
the level of water at any given point
on the lake. Here in Chicago a strong
southerly or westerly wind will lower
thewater eighteen inches in the course.
of ten or twelve hours, while north
erly or easterly wind will as promptly
bring it back. This driving about OF
the water by the winds in the great
lakes affects lake levels by driving the
water over the Falls of Niagara as
much or more than any other factor.
A strong west wind drives the water
of Lake Erie to the eastern end and
greatly increases the flow over the
falls, which, in turn, is replaced by an
increased flow from Lakes Huron and
Michigan, and so lowering all in turn.
