NoRcRoss. Me. Oct. 7.-Returns from the
12.000.00o acres OF hunting grounds in Maine
indicate that the same methods will DO pur-

Of which about 800 have been brought to the

Beyond q doubt there are deer enough in the
Maine woods for all the hunters who will come.
and when the last man has gone home to pass
the New Years holidays with his family there
will still be 100 900 vigorous deer left to keep

WARRINGTON. Oct. 1.-Italy has resumed the

large sums Of money to maintain her armies
has prevented the Government from making
the usual annual appropriations for increasing
the navy. which had grown 30 az to take third
rank among the naval powers Of the world.

where she died. Her sire was the gray trotting

breeding Of her dam important by trottinG q
public trial as a four-year-old in the then I'M
heard-of time OF 2:17H. the pedigree OF Miss
Russell became the subject OF q controversy
which divided the devotees Of trotting into two
hostile factions. and which was waged with the
fury Of religious warfare for twenty years. Up
to that time 1t was undisputed that Pilot. Jr.,
was got by H%einsohn's Pilot. a little black
pony pacing stallion Of unknown blood that
probably came from Canada. and that his dam.

bred son OF Sir Charles; grandam Nancy Tay-

Itw a likewise undisputed that Sally Russell.
the dam Of Miss Russell. was by Boston out OF
Maria Russell, by Thornton's Rather. and was
virtually thoroughbred. In 1879. when Maud
8. loomed up as the greatest young trotter ever
seen. John H. Wallace. the champion Of plebeian
