BREEDERS OF 2a5 TRorrERs.

The following very interesting table
we find in the Trotter and PAGER of New
York. 1t will perhaps be a surprise to
some that the second breeding farm to
produce extreme speed should be the
only extensive one in the country which
has employed Morgan sires, and of the
10 animals represented S are by Morgan
sires and all have either Morgan slres or
Morgan dams:
Many years ago "Hark Comstock" in
a series of articles under the fetching
title of Mathematics of Trotting
Speed" pointed out that the true test
of the powers OF trotting slres was
found in their standing in the "hard
end" of the ? 80 list. His argument
was that as we approach the 2;C) mark
every quarter of second becomes
harder to attain, and every performer
at the "hard end" Of the list should, in
estimating the value of sire, out
weigh many at the 'easy end" that is,
Just inside the 80 line. The soundness
of "Hark Comstock's" basic argument
is now conceded by all, and today we
look at horses standing as a sire of
extreme speed, not at the number of
mediocre performers he may have to
his credit And so in every year, In
every possible fashion, the writers con-
struct tables comparing the great sires
on the 2:10, the 2:l5 and the 2:20 basis
until truly in that line of investigation
and comparison there is nothing new
under the sun. 1t occurred to me not
long since to apply to the breeders the
test that has been applied to the horses,
with view to ascertainIng who were
the most successful producers of trot-
tiers of extreme speed. Drawing the
line at ? 10, tables were constructed for
the writer's own satisfaction and the
qualification of his own curiosity, but
when done they seem so interesting if
not instructive, that they appear worth
presenting to the readers of the Trotter
and PAGER. | am not aware that any
similar tables have ever been published.
As would readily be guessed, Palo
Alto heads the list of breeders of trot-
tiers of extreme speed, ex-senator Stan
ford's "roll' being as follows

This table is tribute not so much to
Senator Stanford's wisdom and success
as a breeder as to the greatness of
Electioneer. Everyone of the eighteen
is descendant of "the greatest sire of
trotters"; eleven came from his own
loins, five are by sons, one is by grand
son and one is out of a daughter of
Electoneer. Palo Alto was the lev
latham of breeding studs, with upwards
of 300 mares and about a dozen stall
lions in service, and with by far the
largest, the best equipped, and in some
respects the most efficient training de-
partment in the world; and in view of
all this when we find its success resting
solely on the progeny of one horse, that
in his whole life got less than 400 foals,
no mistake can be made as to the inevl-
table deduction to be drawn from the
facts. Compared with other establish
ments on the basis of proportonate sue
cess, giving each credit for the per-
centage of fast performers produced
from the number of mares in use, Palo
Alto does not rank first nor anywhere
near first. Several farms that never
had much more than one-tenth the
mares in use, have produced more than
fifty per cent as many trotters of ex-
IRENE speed, and not one of them ever
trained one-fifth the number that were
trained at Palo Alto. That is speaking
of PalO Alto as a whole. But take the
outranks, on every basis of comparison,
whether it be the , 10 list, the ? 10 list,
the , 20 list, or the , 80 list, in totals,
or figured on any plan of percentage,
all other sires of extreme speed. The
deduction is plain that the success of
PalO Alto means simply the success of
Electioneer and an enlightened system
of developing early speed.
1t will surprise many, as it did the
compiler, to find that the now defunct
Fashion Stud Farm, Trenton, n. j.,
comes second on the list, and consider
ing the ratio of performers 70 the num-
Der of breeding animals used, outranks

under all conditions. We are living in
times of peace, however, and today
Scotland'S real greatness lies in her
commercial Importance.
Go where you will her products stare
you in the face. The ships she builds
dot the oceans the world over. Her To-
comotives run wherever rail and tie are
found; the products of her looms go ev-
eryWhere, and embrace many special
ties for which she has no equal. In a
word, Scotland is the greatest indus
trial beehive on the face of the earth,
and there is not one of her innumerable
products that do not stand high in the
commercial world.
If time permitted l might say some
thing of her statesmen, including Glad
stone and Lord Rosebery and others as
living examples. | might also speak of
her eminent painters, sculptors, juriSts,
physicians, divines, journalists etc,
etc, for in all of them her sons have
eXcelled and won world wide fame.

Scotchmen all over the world We're
last night engaged in paying their
need of tribute to the memory of him
whom they so loved to honor for having
honored them--Robert Burns.
1t was the one hundred and thirty
eighth anniversary of his birth. This
city witnessed two observances. one at
the Westminster under the auspices
of the Caledonian club, the other at
Company II armory, Providence, where
the North End Sons of Scotia assembled
as guests of the Robert Burns club.

REFUSED TO NATURALIZE THEM.
Because They Knew Virtually Moth
ing of Our Institutions

Judge Archibald yesterday refused to
natuialize two young men because
they We're deficient in the knowledge
of this country's Institutions. Both of
them could read and write, but they
We're totally at sea when it came to
telling anything of the form of gov
ernment' one of them would have it
that the president made the laws, and
another for the life of him couldn' t
name any state in the union except
Pennsylvania.
The judge told them they had made a
lamentable use of the opportunities
which their five years residence in this
land of freedom. free press and free
schools had given them, and advised
them to learn something of this colln-
try so that they might appreciate the
boon they asked for the next time they
came up to be naturalized.

eyes abroad over the face of creation
to find like Shakespeare,
"Tongues in trees,
Books In running brooks,
Sermons IN stones,
And good in everything.
This Burns illustrates very beatiti-
fully I'm his 'Ode to the Humble Noun
tain Daisy" and in his "Ode to the
Field Mouse" in which he deplores the
rupture by man of natures social
union, and further inculcates the lesson
that care and foresight, notwithstand-
ing
"The best laid schemes O. men and mice
Gang aft agley."
In the case of the wounded hare the
philosophy of Burns was certainly not
that of sportsman who maintained
that the hare had as much pleasure in
being chased as the dog had i'm chas-
ing 1t, and by inference of course as
much pleasure in being killed, as the
dog had in killing or the sportman in
shooting it; but as the views of Burns
on this subject as well as my own are
not likely to be acceptable or convinc-
ing to this sporting generation ! shall
simply content myself with lodging my
protest and pass on.
The sympathies of Burns ranged from
the humble songster of the wood and
led up to heaven illumined man, and he
even found room in his large heart for
merciful compassion of the great arch
enemy of man himself. In his last
stanza of his Address to the DELL he
says:

However, that protection may not be an
unmitigated evil, as the character of its
poSsessor Is so well known that it Is never
handled by those careful of their own
cleanliness. AS in the case of the sun,
we can endure its limited bad effects in
consideration of the benificence of its
power, and while we sometimes turn
with loathing from our own species sim
ilarly endowed, the warning is SO gen
cral that the poisonless efhuvium wastes

of the plain wastes itself in the scorched
alkali sands of the desert. On the
whole, then, we gain largely by the les
sons of chivalry that have taught us to
respect woman for her purity and also to
be warned from evil associations by the
sitting odor emitted from the thoroughly
evil, and impressed with the sacred
writer's wise proverb Of 'cvil communi-
cations corrupt good Manners the warn
ing is so pungently perccptible to the OIL
factories we need not cndanger our purity
by II close contact with such animals,
whether they walk on two or four legs.
