the canoists, especially the older campers want
to go to Bow Arrow Point on Lake Champlain,

has just visited both lakes, seeking prospective
camp sites. but yet no decision has been

VAST BREEDING INTERESTS.

From the earliest time to the present day II
has happened that many OF the fastest and best
trottcrs on the turf have been raised by small
breeders and the number OF such amateurs who
are all the while trying 10 produce turf cham-
pion is something astonishing. The last volume
OF THE Trotting Register" contains the names
OF more than ten thousand different men who
bred and owned the trotting horses registered In
1894 and 1893 When it is remembered that
there are twelve other volumes of THE Trottng
Register" and that not more than one horse IN
dv4 Of the well-bred trotters In the country Is
registered II will be readily seen that the num-
her Of horsemen actively interested In TINS
branch Of the sport Is large. This widespread
interest In breeding the trotter is the backbone
and life OF the sport Nearly everybody VINO
goes TO the races is breeding enthusiast, ana

a TINY RESERVATION.
William PENIS Indian Tract Still
Preserved In Philadelphia.

william Penn's Indian Tract Still
Preserved In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia contains one relic Of the
days of William Penn which is un-
known to most inhabitants Of the Quak-
er City. It is small portion Of ground
which still retains by virtue of pro-
vision in the charter it's original charac-
ter. Right in the heart of the business
section of the city it lies, the only place
for miles around that bears no foot
prints Of the march of progress and COM
MERGE, the only building lot in the city
! which has never been near the hands of
! a real estate agent.
| You have but to go down Walnut
street to Second, turn up Second until
you come to a little iron gate, on the
east side Of the street, swing it back and
enter and you stand within the Indian
reservation.
In the days when Philadelphia used
to be the metropolis of the red men, and
they came by various trails across the
country and down the Delaware to hold
council there, ltgrew necessary for them
to have some appointed spot for their
conclaves William Penn dedicated this
reservation to them as trysting place
and provided that it should be sacred to
their use forever.
1t is foreign enough place now,
shut in as it is by high buildings on
nearly every side. The old Union Tele-
graph Office confronts it on one side, a
wholesale liquor dealers store backs up
against it on another, and high board
fence chokes off the last hope of any
outlook from the place.
There is no mark to tell of it's original
use or to stamp it as one of the curiosi.
| ties of the day. Ones only solace for
his grievance is to imagine that the
stealthy tread of moccasined feet is still
echoing there and that the strange
words of the redskin s tongue have left
some spell upon the place.
In size it is a poor comment upon
PENIS generosity, for it scarcely affords
room sufficient to turn a wagon and
pair Of horses. Perhaps because of it's
microscopic dimensions there has never
been any attempt to encroach upon the
rights Of the old reservation.
For more than century it has stood
in it's native state in the midst of the
great city, relic of a pathetic past, an
heirloom for owners who will never
reclaim it.-New York Herald
