AMONG THE HORSES.
A Matched Pair to,Astonish the English
4. -. Malcolm Forbcs's Experiment.

George H. Ke.cham Of Toledo, who has
a national reputation on the turf through
his success with Cresceus and other
crack ca,npaignofs, had commission
from Walter winsns, the rich Baltimore
an, who now lives at Brighton, Eng,
to End a pair Of American trotters that
could win on the tanbark in that coun-
try. He says that he travelled 10000 miles
searching in vain to MI the order, and
then learned of David King and Aldaret.
Some New York fanciers we're after the
ge!dings, but after riding bshind them at
Canortalia last week, Mr.. Ketcham
promptly secured the horses for good
long price. in the vicinity OF $4,000.
Mr.. Winans intends to enter the horses
at all the spring horse shows In ureae
Britain, and Aldaret will probably be the
selection for the single harness classes.

have earned records in races. David
King having AL IA to his credit. while
Adelart scored 2.26 IA in Missouri where
he was raised.
J. Malcolm Forbes believes Nancy
Hanks's foal, born last Tuesday, will be
the dam of the FIRST two-minute .trotter
In the history of the turf. Mr.. Forbes
says: "For years have been of the opin-
Ion, in common with plenty Of other Ame-
rican horse breeders, that the produce oil
a standard bred American trotting mare
and thoroughbred running stallion
bred in turn to trotting stallion OF
the highest class, ought to produce not
only speed, but heart, courage, strength:
determ thing that the ideal
champion trotter must possess. The
fusion of the trotting and running horse
in the proportion of three to one will
eventually, In my Judgment, produce the
worlds champion trotter. This little
daughter of Meddler and Nancy Hanks
is thus destined to create q revolution
In breeding. and Der career will be of
the deepest interest not only to all Anne
rican horsemen. but to the patrons of the
turf in England, where her sire was
foaled, aud the horsemen of the conti-
nent. Tbs interest in this experiment
of mine Is worldwide 1t was largely

DANCING IN PORTO RICO.

At Guayama was fortunate enough

to do few turns in this country If you
happened on the right time and condi-
lions, and it was true, and we'll worth
seeing. writes Charlotte W. Graves in
the Burlington Free Press The most
chara cteristio dance is the "danza," a
very slow waltz in which the dancers
do not have to cover much ground and it
is consequently well suited to the tropics.
1t has sundry swayings and bendings not
usually seen in the waltz. ! found these

the danseuse and to see thess pretty

dance given by the alcalde of Guayama
that saw this. The whole affair was
very interesting and the host and hostess
was all in q small front room and the
street in front was literally packed with
natives who stood on the steps and looked
on in very friendly, quiet way. The
music was a piano and guitar. which
makes mosu hideous noise and is used
TO mark the time. Every few minutes
the hostess passed about little glasses of
different kinds OF soft drinks for which
Porto Rico is famous. and these people
do make them to perfection. When we
started to make our adieu the oorpulent
little alcalde turned to me and said in
English: "But have not balled with
you, Senorita. and you cannot go till you
have balled with me. assured him l
could not "ball" the "danza;" but he
insisted, and so l stood up and wobbled
through 1t and when we had "balled"
sufficiently he assured me did 1t peauti-
fully, "as we'll as If not better" he said,

overcome, and we took our departure.

Foot Light Notes.

The length of an average season for
travelling theatrical company is
from thirty-fvc to forty weeks, bu
the Empire Comedy company which
is to play in this city next week. has
a record Of three years. The COM
pany was organized early in the spring
uf 1896, and since that time has been
playing constantly. without closing
Or laying off, thus making one Of the
longest continuous seasons Of any
company in the business. The En-
pire company has made three trips
from Chicago to the Pacific coast aud
return, besides an engagement Of
eight consecutive weeks at the grahd
opera house in Winnipeg, Manitoba
when it played to the capacity OF the
theatre at each performance. The
repertoire is large and brilliant one
containing number Of plays written
expressly FOR the company and which
are played by no other organization.
''Twixt Love and Duty "Dad's
Darling and "Darrc!l's Proteges''
arc from the pen Of Sadie Cregan,
who has been the cotnp'ny's leading
lacy ever since it was organized. LII
addition to the above named bills are
"a WOman's Battle" written by F..
D. Mostow, the business manager,
"a Special D~posit,' the work OF
Frank D. Melville, and Parted" /,
strong four-act drama from the pen
of the eminent English actor and au-
thor. Mr. Wybect Reeve: besides
these there are a large number Of
other plays, making in all a list Ut
thirty-fve comedies and dramas,
which is perhaps tine largest reper-
toire of any company now upon the
road. The Huron engagement will
commence with the presentation Of
Mrs. Cregan's five act comedy, "Dar-
rell's Proteges," which, accO' ding to
the Aberdeen and WatertOwn papers,
is one Of the best plays ever presented
in the northwest. This piece made
such pronounced hit in Aberdeen,
that the company gave a second per-
formance OF it there, to crowded
house, and it is safe to predict that
all wac go to see this company on
Monday night, will be amply reward
