Hnlda, the Marvellous Race Mare, Bids
Fair to Perpetnate Her Name
in Racing Annals.

Down at Aptos stock farm Huda. one
time queen among American trotters, is
passing the declining years of her life
The great race mare is transmitting her
speed and beauty to numerous progeny,
having produced foals by Cupid McI<in-
ney and one by Dexter Prince, a sucking

Hulda IS a bay mare foaled in 1883 and
bred by A. B. Spreckels She has never
been out of his possession, and. IS may
be supposed, is a great faVOrite with him
She was sired by Guy Wilkes, 2:15A, out
of Jenny the dam of Oracle S. 2:22. This
shows she comes rightfully by her ex-
treme speed.
She was first raced as a four-year-old
starting four times that year on the East
ern circuit, and returned here with rec

was the year of the Columbian ExpOsi-
tion. Orrin Hickok, the celebrated train
er, took her East and she started in four
races. At Buffalo, New York CITY and
Detroit she met the best horses of the
year and defeated them. At Chicago. in
600, she met the great champions Alix,
Lord .Giinto9fr. 2;OsA Walter f, 2:1o; Ry-

celebrated race which required three days

Mr. Hickok was certain he would win
the next heat and the race, but Hulda
sprained an ankle in that heat and had to

again. Since then she has been in the
breeding ranks. She was bred to Search
light. 2:04I2, this year Hulda was one

RAISE PHEASANTS
A tOyel Scheme Of ". S. TeyiS to
Breed Game Birds on { tOckdale
Ranch, Kern County.

From present indications Kern County
will shortly be one of the most attractive
places in the State for the sportsman.
w. s. Tevis of Stockdale ranch, near Ba-
kersfield has found in the quail which
abound in that district foster mothers for
pheasants Surrounding his home and
within a radius Of a few hundred yards
are hundreds Of quail breeding undis-
turbed.
Mr.. Tevis has also some pheasants. Each
Of these lay some ninety eggs year. He
found a difficulty in having them hatched
until finally he hit upon the scheme Of
supplanting quails' eggs with those of the
pheasants The quail hatched them out,
and now the problem seems solved and
the pheasants should multiply rapidly
BY removing the pheasants' eggs from the
nest each day the birds lay five times as
many eggs as though allowed to sit on
them. hence the reason for substituting
Persons who preserve game as Mr..
Tevis has done are considered public bene-
factors by the sportsmen. Some people
take narrow minded view Of the game
question. They think their liberty is i'm
paired # they are not permitted to blaze
away at all animate things and at all
times irrespective Of the breeding sea-
son. Some slaughter for the market and
others for the hides. If this indiscrim-
mate slaughter were permitted game
handlers Of sporting dogs and many other
classes Of people would find their occupa-
tiOns gone. Mr.. Tevis is in the forefront
of the ranks of game preservers. In his
position Of extensive land owner he is bic
and has shown himself anxious to pre-
serve game in Kern County In time
that district will be a spOrtsman's para
disc. The birds viii spread over the
country, retiring to quiet places at breed
ing time, where they can sit and bring up
their young.

Near Havana, Cuba.

A dispatch was received here last
night, giving the sad intelligence Of
the death of Col. Haywood Mabry,
of the first Texas regiment now
stationed at Quemadas camp, near
Havana, Cuba.
The message was sent out to
Major Allen, who lives out one mile
on the State Line. Major Allen is
the father-in-law Ct Colpnel Mabry,
and it was only Il hours before the
news was received, that he bade his
daughter, Mrs. MaDry good bye on
her eve of departure to be at her
husbands bedside.
Mrs. Mabry went through New
Orleans and dispatch was sent to
her last night telling of the colo
ners death and asking her to re-
turn here, which will rea4h her be-
fore she leaves the Creseht City.
The body will be returned to
Texas and buried at Jefferson.
We we're personally Acquainted
with the deceased, knew him at
Jefferson when he was in his teens
and recognized in him then as a
coming man of promise and such
promise has he fulfilled in a meas
ure as far as opportunity offered.
The state of Texas and the
United States have lost a promn-
ent leader and his family devoted
husband and father
10 his wife and childrep, who have
made this place their home since
the Colonel left for the war. We
offer our heartfelt confidence and
assure them that weyrecognize the
loss to the counry Of this good
officer, as they do to the freside and
home.

LOTT ROAD SOLD.
Purchased by the Fordyce Syn
dcate.

Hot Springs, Jan. 4.-The Little
Rock, Hot Springs and Texas rail-
road, better known as the Lott
road, was sold here today to the
Fordyce syndicate for $50, 900. Col.
s. W. Foredyce, late president OF
the Cotton Belt road, was the only
bidder.
The sale of this road has been
postponed several times, but the
arrival of Col Fordyce in this city
this morning gave rise to the belief
that the sale would be effected. The
sale is regarded as meaning much
for Hot Springs, as it is thought it
will result in the early construction
of western line Of railroad into
this city.
It is learned tonight from the
best authority that an understand
ing exists between the purchasers
of the Lott road, Choctaw & Mem
phis, Kansas City, Pittsburg anc
Gull and the Texas Midland to the
effect that in the event of the sale
the completion of the Lott roao
from this city to Little Rock, the
Texas Midland would extend It's
line to Mena, Ark, and make con
nection with the Pee Gee The
latter company would build into
this city, connecting with the Lott
road ana that traffic arrangements
| would be effected with the Choctaw
& Memphis road, thus giving Hot
Springs excellent railroad facilities
Col. Fordyce left tonight for
Texas, where it is believed he has
gone to confer with e. Fl. r. Green
of the Texas Midland, regarding
the proposed extension of his roat
to Mena, AJAX.

THE PlNGREE SYSTEM.
The Civic Center to Inaugurate 1t in
Washington.

Aa a meeting of the Council of the civic
Center yesterday afternoon committee
was appointed to inaugurate the Pingree
system of vacant lot cultivation in Wash
ington. A letter was read from the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, in which he offered
to assist in the project as far as possible
by furnishing garden seed, and also made
some pertinent suggestions. 1t is proposed
10 have the work conducted as far as pos
sible on a scientific basis, as was evidenced
by the appointment as members OF the
committee of Mr.. Frederick V. Coville. bot
anist of the Department of Agriculture,
and other scientists.
1t is thought probable that the soil of
Washington will be found better adapted
to beans and other leguminous plants than
to potatoes, but the intention is to usa
chemical fertilizers, whatever may be de-
cided as to the crop. Where the soil is too
poor for vegetables, with a reasonable
amount of fertilization, clover will probably
be planted for a forage crop.
The purpose of the venture is not only
TO provide occupation for the unemployed,
but also to improve the appearance OF va
cant lots which are now overrun by weeds
One of the first duties of the committee
will be to select suitable pieces of ground
for cultivation during the coming summer
and to obtain the consent of the owners
to their use in the way proposed Other
organizations, such as the central relief
