LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 13.-The seventh
days racing at the Kentucky Horse Breed
ers Association meeting was fully up to
the standard. The gray gelding Mackey, by
Wilton, won the unfinished 2:1S trotting
race without much trouble. After Parker
S. had seemed to have the unfinished pace
race we'll i'll hand he lost the next three
heats to Arlington. Ace, the favorite could
get no better than third position. Gecrs
added another race to his list by winning
the Kentucky with American Belle, in easy
fashion, without the sembance of q con-
test, the great mare having to go no netter
than 2:15a to beat China Silk, Phillip e.
and Timbrel, who were the placed horses
in the order named. The pacing division of
the Kentucky Stock Farm purse was won
by the Wilton colt, Will Leyburn. Man
nela and Nancy Burns divided second and
third moneys.
The 200 class for trotters brought out a
great field and Dan Cupid from the out
side position in the first heat soon took
the lead and won somewhat handily in
2:0914. The second heat was closely con-
tested one Dan Cupid and Senator A.
fighting it out for furlong, the former
winning by a narrow margin from the
Pennsylvania winner of 1886. The race now
looked to be Dan Cupid's, but he made a
break in tho third heat and Pilot Boy won
easily The fourth heat was an easy vic
tory for the gray Michigan horse and by
a curious coincidence the time for the first
four heats was exactly the same, 2:O9A. In
the fifth heat Fred B. and Pilot Boy
trotted head and head the whole mile, the
latter winning by a nose after a fierce
struggle. Summarizes

A warrant was issued and placed in
the hands of Sheriff Kilburn, who
found the young men just finishing the
job of butchering the animal in the
barn on the premises of their parents.
They were taken in custody and
lodged in the county Jail
The defendants were arraigned be-
fore Justice Bentley Yesterday at IL
a. H.. at which time they asked for a
continuation until Wednesday, at 1:3O
p. m, which request was granted.
Many different reports are current
as to the manner in which the animal
was taken and butchered, but as no
good can result to either the state or
the defendants in giving additional
publicity to them, and as every per
son is presumed to be innocent until
he has been proven guilty, we refrain
from producing the comments.

county Jail last evening and was

Arizona, said he, in the course of
his remarks, is the Eldorado of the

The tarantula hawk said the
learned naturalist, lis one of the pecu-
liar little animals Astounding in Ari-
zona. The hawk preys upon the taran-
tula, hence his name. He is built for
hunting them, and he does it to per-
lection. You can see the hawks crowl-
ing along the ground in search of their
prey. They have long legs and move
like lightning when tarantula heaves
in sight. In an instant the hawk
pounces upon the poor tarantula, and
before the victim is aware of the dan
ger the deadly weapon of the enemy
is implanted in his body. The hawk
simply deposits a poison inside the
body of the tarantula, which paralyzes
him. In connection with the poison he
deposits an egg, which proceeds to
hatch out, and caterpillar is the re-
suit. The young caterpillar feeds on
the body of the tarantula until he is
ready to undertake housekeeping on
his own account. There are two spe-
cies of tarantula hawks, distinguished
by the color of their wings. A pecu-
liar thing is that each species has it's
particular kind of tarantula to look
