Last Saturday morning. there was a very
pretty race between Esma b. of II. F.
Brann's string and Don of A. +. Lam
sons string. The horses have not, of
course, been logged out so very much
owing to the latg opening of the season
and the track is not in as good condition
or as hard as it win be after a little more
use. They went one of the prettiest miles
the Journal man ever saw. Neither horse
lifted his nose and there was not half
length between them at any time during
the race. They finished in 3Sl4 and this
without any urging. If they both keep
up that gait there will be some good races
between these horses before the end of
the season.
Anybody who is interested in horses and
likes to see them go should take a run
down to the park any time during the
day and see them being worked out.
There is not but "A very few moments dur
ing the day that there is not one or more
horses on the track. There are generally
several spectators present watching the

Mayor Stafford of HallowelI. occasional
ly comes up with his horse by Merrill out
of a Matchmaker Wilkes mare. This
horse is dandy and great things are ex-
peeted from it if it is placed on the
track.
c. NJ Phillips of Gardiner, comes uD
frequently and joys some of his horses
around Mr.. Perkins of HalloweIl also
joys a promising Wilkes mare.
Harry +. Lishness, one of the managers
of the park, has two excellent horses;
which he is training. One is Halo. a five
year-old bay by Haley. 1t is as good a
horse as there is at the track and is sure
to win some races, this season.
Then there is Sir Roger, a three-year-
old bay stallion. This little horse has
won the blue ribbon at all the fairs where
he has been exhibited and although he
has never raced when he does 20 on the
track will clean out the slow classes and
it will be strange if he does not the fast
ones. He is also by Haley and is a typ
ical son of his father. Both Of these
horses Of Mr.. Lishness are very much
like their father in color and shape.
Harry II. Lee, the other manager of the
park, has a very handsome pair of Dicta-
tor Chief colts out of a Knox mare. They
are brothers and one is a black while the
other is 4 bay. They are able to go 80
gait a present although they have only
been hitched together five times having
been brought from the barnyard a short
time ago. They will go much better in a
few more times of jogging out and are
sure to bring good price should Mr.. Lee
wish to sell.

DETAILS OF KILLING OF riLAR.

Fearful Obstacles.

MANILA, Dec. ia dispatch dated
correspondent Of The Associated Press
with Major Marcl.'s battalion, which
said in part:
"Ltajor March, with Captains Jenkin.
son and Cunningham, Lieutenants
Tompkins, Rucker, McClelland and
Powers and l25 men, is about starting
for Bonteco through an absolutely deso-
late country and over mouptain 10000
fcet high. He is pursuing Aguinaldo,
whose escort. now reduced to 80 men,
is known to be there.
According to the natives, Aguinaldo
intends to disguise himself and to take
circuitous trail toward Bayombong,
province OF Sueva Vfzcaya.
Major March, with 800 men, arrived at
Cervantes about 20 hours behind Aguin-
aldo, who had believed he had found
an inaccessible refuge. On December .
the American commander had u Won

tain pass, 1900 feet above the sea,
completely routing General Gregorio
del Pillars force of 200 picked men in
position almost strong enough to rival

"Generol Pillar died at the front Of
his rnen. urging them to make "a stand
until tho ball OF sharpshooter pierced
his head. His followers tried to secure
bls body but were compelled to leave it.
1.-Two of the Americans were killed
and were buried by their comrades
where they fell. The others, carrying
nine wounded, camped for the night ON
top OF the mountain, an eminence Of
1000 feet, suffering grently from the
cold blasts. In the morning they
moved down the trail to Dugaqui,
where they learned that Aguinaldo,
with sew men and three women, all
carried on litters borne by Igorrotes,
had passed along the same trail to Ger.
vantes, where he was during the fight.
A rumor had brought him the news Of
the death Of his chief of staff. He
was greatly affected and prepared in.
