Death of Jacob M. Alpplncort.

Jacob M. Lippinoott died at bis home
in Salem early on Wednesday morning,
aged seventy four years. Never of very
strong constitution, he had been quite
unwell for several years past. MI. Lip
pinoott was born in Woodstown in May,
1924, in a house on Upper Main street,
and our readers will still recall with
pleasure his article on BULLET Lane" in
these columns a few years ago, largely
an account of his boyhood days in
Woodstown. The hero of the story
"Senator" Wardell, still survives. Mr..
L%ippincott was a tailor by trade, and
followed it until he was elected County
Clerk on the Democratic ticket in 1869,
and for three successive terms of five
years each he was continued in that
Office, performing its duties with scrupu-
lous care and efficiency. He was uni
versally esteemed, and his death will be
mourned by a host of sincere friends.
He leaves two children, a SOD, DR..
George Lippineott, a surgeon in the U. s.
Navy, but now on the retired list be-
cause of disabilities, and a married
daughter, Mrs. Sweatman, residing in
Harrisburg, Pa. The funeral will take
place on Saturday morning at 1890
O'clock,

1t is said that the well-known New
York turfman, Robert Bonner, has ex-
pended over 81. 900, 600 in horsefesh and
has never bred a champion. J. Malcolm
Forbes, of Boston, also q millionaire,
owner of Nancy Hanks, 2.04, and Arion,
2U7a, both champions, and a breeder OF
wonderful experience, has not up to date
bred a champion. Neither has B. F
Tracy, one of the most intelligent
breeders in the world and a man of
great experience. c. W. Williams, who
is by no means a millionaire, has bred
three champions in Axtell (3), 212: AL,
~lerton, 1901, and Elloree, 2 094.
Taking into consideration the weight
carried and the inexperience of the
driver, the most remarkable exhibition
to bicycle. wheeled wagon ever witnessed
took place at Belmont track on Sunday
morning. Thomas Henry, weighing 24C
pounds, drove the bay pacing stallion
Claus Forester. by Santa Claus, a mile
without skip in 2.15 flat. Time by
quarters, 1871, 1.05a, 1 40, 2.15. The
horse was paced, Stote R. Clark driving
William Disston's PAGER Frank B. to
sulky. Nearly 80 watches were held on
the performance by prominent horsemen,
and all caught the time within a fraction
of 2. 10. Claus Forester was bred by the
late DR.. M. J. P~aulding, of Daretown.
Three worlds harness records were
beaten during the past week. The
worlds race record for FLIES was cut to
2 1544 by jamie T., at Lexington. This is
half a second faster than the previous
BEST 15a-held jointly by Silicon and
Impetuous. John R. Gentry and Robert
j started at Glens Falls, N. Y, against
the double team pacing record (2.09)
made at Belmont course on September
90, and Clipped off one second, pacing
the mile in 2 0S. The weather at Glen
Falls, as at Belmont, was not favorable
to fast time, and on the first effort the
mile was paced in 2 II. The time by
quarters in the record breaking mile
follows: .32, 1.044, 1871. 2 0S. This
shows the last quarter co have been
paced in 30a seconds. At Salem, Ore,
on Thursday Chehallis lowered the
worlds two-mile pacing record to 4. 1944
This is 81 seconds better thar W. w
P.'s pertormance-4 22a-made at Lin
coin, Neb., in October, 1895. Chehallis'
time by quarters follows: 323, 1.055, 1.37

cycle Notes.

Cordang, who rode GIG miles in twenty
four hours in a recent long-distance race
with Huret and Rivierre, in Europe, con.
sumed three fowls, thirteen litres of meat
juice, a SCORE of outlets, two dozen eggs
four bowls of broth, six bottles of viohy
water, three dozen peaches, four pounds
of grapes, two bottles of port, one pound
of sugar, six siphons of lemonade, six
litres of tea, six bottles of champagne and
twenty oranges and still he lost weight.
Jimmy Michael's wonderful one-hour's
ride at Willow Grove track on Saturday
established a new worlds bicycle record
of 80 miles 652 yards. Stocks, the noted
English rider, beat Michael's figures by
43 yards in a one-hour's ride on Septem-
Der 81, at Crystal Palace, London, but
Stocks was paced by a motor Cycle, while
Michael had only such help as bone and
sinew could give. Stocks rode 80 miles
2086 feet in the hour and flushed 80
miles in 1 hour 1 minute 81 5 seconds.
Michael's pc cling was done by two sex
tettes, three quads and a quint, and was
admirably managed, as the result proves
The big machines could never shake the
little Welshman off, aud it is not believed
that he has yet reached the limit of his
speed. With faster pacing Michael can
probably beat Stocks figures. An effort
will probably be made at no distant date

sale of alcoholic beverages has produced
such social, commercial, industrial ano
