speculation, have at last been announc.
ed with some positiveness. That the
Montana men have secured a high class
race horse is undeniable, for the son OF
Hanover and Lady Reel proved him
self to be one Of the greatest 2-year-
olds in the world. The colt has the per-
feet action which is so essential for a
horse that must run fast and far. He
mas proved conclusively that he is a
phenomenon to carry weight. Whether
he can stay the Derby and Realization
distances will be unanswered until he
goes to the post next spring. The long
winter is before him yet, and many
things may happen between now and
the racing season in this vicinity.

Other Notable Washington Tragedies.
Washington folk are recalling the
number of fatalities in prominent Off
cial households in recent years. OF the
Cleveland cabinet Secretary Bayard' S
daughter died suddenly as every one
believed at the time, by her own hand.
Hers was a case of true love with a
poor young man attached to one of
the foreign legations. He was ordered
to a far distant post through powerful
influences, and Miss Bayard could not
survive the separation.
Attorney General Garland's daughter
shot herself in a fit of melancholy in
duced by too much religious contem-
plation.
A daughter of Secretary Blaine near
ly died from the effects of a pistol shot
wound said to have been an accident,
and the horror of the Tracy fire, where
President Harrison's secretary of the
navy was afflicted so sorely, comes
again to the public mind.
