NOT LACKING
 IN STAMINA John E. Madden Defends the Thoroughbred
 of To-Day. Refutes the Contention That It Can No Longer "Go a
 Route."
Cites the Recent Performance ot Buckva in Answering Crit
 Davis and Others.
Special Dispatch to The Call

LEXINGTON, ky, Jan. 1.-John F. Madden. who has owned and trained both trotters and throughbreds and who has been successful with both breeds of horses, does not agree with Crit Davis, Gil Curry, Frank McVey, Major Daingerfield, R. M. Anderson and other old trotting horse trainers that the thoroughbred is lacking In stamina and endurance. He takes is- sue with rIconoclast," tfle we'll known trotting horse writer, who has made the statement of Messrs. Davis and others the subject of long articles, in which he tries to show that the trotter is going forward and the runner back ward in the matter of stamina Mir. Madden to-day gave out the following signed statement, which shows that he knows something of both the trotter and the thoroughbred, and that he can tell why he thinks the latter superior to the former as a stayer when going at his top speed:
 have read the opinions of Major Dain- gerneld Crit Davis, Samp" Wilson. read the articles from ''Iconoclast' based on these opinions. To be candid, I must admit that nothing in these articles or in
 
 me that the trotting horse of to-day has proved himself to be the superior of the thoroughbred in stamina and endurance that IS, if the definition of these terms be ability to maintain high rate Of speed.
 To begin with, it is an extremely diffi- cult comparison to draw. If a harness horse could trot or pace a mile in 1:40, or 1:45, the task would be easier. Until the harness horse can do this it will be largely matter of conjecture to draw a just comparison between the two
 While the races of to-day are shorter, it must be remembered that the average speed of them is faster than ever. and surely this is not an evidence of degen- eration. Years ago a mile in 1:40 was considered almost wonderful, to-day it is nothing remarkable Ornament won the Twin City Handicap, one mile, in ] 40, and the last quarter in % 3-5 seconds, and finished so strong that Taral, his rider, believed he could have made the last quarter in p seconds. ElectIoneer got his best racing son and daughter, Palo Alto and Expressive. out of thoroughbred mares. Azmore, half thoroughbred, got the fast two-year-old Rowena; 2:IT out of thoroughbred mare. Half-thorough- web, the fast gelding, capable of pulling a wagon close to. 2:10.
 Because the thoroughbred of the pres ent day is not asked to go n distance is A number of sprinters of to-day can beat the record of old-time long-distancc runners. As an instance of this, only a few days ago, in California, the horse Buckwa, who was known only as a sprinter, was asked to go a mile and a half, and he beat the worlds record for the distance, winning easily by six
 l could name a dozen horses that started in sprinting races in 1896 and 1897 that could beat the two and four mile records of old. Ii is my experience that in point of stamina the thoroughbred has no equal.

The practice of publishing medical testimonials is certainly not new one; in fact. the subject is well nigh thread bare, the columns of every paper being full of them.

If this letter will do you any good you may publish it in the Christian Herald, as I have many friends who read that paper.
 The tablets have done wonders for me, where hope of recovery was nearly gone.
 The cure of this lady is but one of thousands who have been cured of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach troubles by the regular use of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets-a common-sense remedy, which cures by causing the prompt digestion of the food eaten. They should be taken immediately after meals. and their beneficial ef- sects are speedily apparent in the in- creased strength of stomach and nerves. They cure palpitation of the heart by removing the cause; they iri- crease flesh and appetite by digesting the food before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nerves.
 Ssuart's Dyspepsia Tablets not only cure indigestion, but they are so safe and pleasant that they are. also per fectly adapted to children and invalids.
 Thsy are sold by druggists at 50 cents for full sized packages.
 A useful book on stomach diseases will be mailed free by addressing Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
