The British Parliament, which met yes
terday in it's fourth session, is the twenty
sixth of the United Kingdom since 1901,
while our Congress now sitting is the fifty
fifth since the formation of the government.
The duration of Congress, or the popular
branch of it, is limited by law to two years,
while the legal duration of the House of
Commons is seven years, though it seldom
ever approaches that limit The present
Parliament has nearly reached the average
limit.

The Libel Law in Scotland,

Since the law Of libel is carried out
to-day to an outrageous extent in
England, it is worth while commenting
on a case occurring in Scotland in
1913, which is recorded in the
"Athenaeum." One Stercovius had
written something quite 6erogatory to
the Scotch, and James I. had Patrick
Gordon bring suit against Stercovius
for libel The Kings orders We're that
Gordon should employ his best en-
deavors and omit no means, industry,
or expense to have the libel recalled
and the author condignly punished. :.
The result was that the unfortunate
Stercovius paid the penalty with his
person, and was hanged, washing
away by his Infamous death,' so the
old record reads. sany stain or blot
which his malicious libel might other
wise have caused to the perpetual dis
grace of his majesty's nation of Scot
land, especially of it's burghs' But
after the unfortunate Stercovius had
paid the penalty with his life there re-
mained an unsettled bill. Six hundred
pounds sterling was due for the costs,
and the Scotch burghs being thrifty
were by no means disposed to pay that
sum, SO Patrick Gordon brought a suit
for the money. Once more there was
litigation. AS far as. it can be made
out, Patrick Gordon through the Lords
of Council received his money some
time in 1914. Who was Stercovius and
what was the character of his libel
are not known-New York Times.

GROWTH OF The TROTTER.
INTERESTING LIST oF TWO
TWENTY FLYERS.
Seven Hundred and Fifty Horses
Entered That Glass This
Year.

The year 1898 has been the banner
one for the greatest number of trot-
ting and pacing horses that have, dur
ing the season, entered the magic circle
Of the 2:20 list.
The records show that about 100
horses have dropped into the 2:20 list
the past season, and that the PAGER is
coming to the front, and, while few
Years since the trotters outnumbered
the PAGERS, now the side-wheelers are
In the lead as to numbers.
Ten years ago a 2:30 trotter was fast
enough to go to the races with. Now,
unless a horse can beat 2:20 three times
he is not worth taking away from
home In fact to be of any account in
the Grand Circuit Meeting or at the
large associate tracks he must be
able to go three heats better than 2:14.
An Eastern compiler, in the Boston
Herald" has gotten out an intensely
interesting table in which is given the
list of this seasons newcomers in the
2:20 list. The table is we'll worth be-
ing preserved for reference by owners,
breeders and trotting associations.
The showing is a wonderful one when
1t is remembered that but a few years
ago the 2:20 list contained the names
Of less than 300 2:20 trotters.
1t is small wonder that Great Britain
and all Europe send buyers of trotters
to the markets of the United States.
Breeders of trotting horses are greatly
encouraged by the present state Of af-
fairs in the trotting world and conf
IDENTIFY expect a profitable business for
the next ten years or more, if not a
continuous and ever increasing demand
fer the monarch of all horses-the
American trotter.
The PAGERS are denoted by an aster-
tsk and the table is divided into the
classes in which the horses will have to
race next season. and they are arranged
alphabetically in such classes.
