The racing at Charter Oak Park, Hart
ford. Conn, yesterday was noted for close
finishes and the winning of the favorites.
Owyhee took the 2.19 trotting without diff
fculty, and Lady of the Manor won out in
the 2.W pacing, Geers driving d sensational
finish in the third heat, passing Nicol b.
and Prince Alert within ten feet of the
wire. The unfinished race of Monday, the
30 trotting, was won by Halle Rocket,
who took the two heats necessary with
out trouble. Charlie Herr the favorite
in the 2 13 trotting and took the first heat.
but was fairly cut out of the second within
yard of the wire by Peter the Great. No
more heats in that race could be trotted
owing to darkness. Kitty Newman, one of
the starters in the Charter Oak stake Mon
day, fractured her right foreanke. 1t was

field in each of the three heats and won
hands down. The stake worth $4,000
and was the third of a series of futurity
offerings put up by John c. Bauer of Chi
cago. Yesterdays race was the fastest
three-year-old futurity ever trotted. The
first heat was made In the following time:
50. Los. lao. 2.12h. This was the fastest of
the three heats and equals the three-year-
old record in class trot made at Louis
willie last year. The money was divided as
follows:
Idolata. owned by Frank Jones. 5000.
Extasy. owned by H. c. Mcdowell of
Lexington. $500
Rita E., owned by H. w. Brown of Salt
Lake, 2,25o
Irma Electric. owned by Henry Axali,
Dallas Tex, 81 80.
My Trick owned by Marcus DAILY of
Montana, 500.
The balance of the purse was divided be-
tween the nominators of sires of the win
ner and of the second horse. OF this
amount the estate of Senator Stanford Sc
cured 5000.
The do pace, worth $1,000, was easy for
the favorite, Robert Fitzsimmons. In the
third heat Arbutaskan challenged Shade
On at the last turn for second money. They
closed up a gap Of twenty lengths on Fitz-
simmons and Shade On nosed out second
prize. They forced Robert to do this heat
in 2.0Sh.. which he did with great ease.
The first heat of the third race, the Cen
trail stake of $1,000 for ZIP class trotters
furnished the prettiest race of the meeting.
Coming into the stretch the field was well
punched, with Copeland the favorite, on
the pole. At the last turn Altoka and Hum
bodt Maid pulled out of the bunch. fol-
lowed by Aragon X. The three raced down
the stretch side by side and finished noses
apart. The three remaining heats went to
Sir Charles in slow time. Copeland broke
continually and was unable to get inside
the money. DIR. Spelman gave the crowd
a sensation in the third heat by pulling
out of the bunch at the half and setting
clipping pace we'll into the stretch. where
Sir Charles headed him and took down the
purse.
Yesterdays weather was almost perfect
for racing, perhaps a trifie too warm. Fiji
teen thousand persons saw the contests.

NEW USE FOR CoRNsTALKs.
Ground and Mixed With Molasses or
Blood They Make Good
Stock Food.

WASHINGTON, Nov ga series of ex-
periments which have been carried on for
some time past by the agricultural depart
ment, have recently developed a new use
for corn stalks, from which a very valuable
horse and cattle food can now be made
The department has done great deal
of work with corQgtsalks in the past year.
and has developed several valuable uses
for them, namely, cofferdam packing for
warships, a high grade of writing paper,
the basis for SmokelesS powder superior
to the picric acid powders, and several
other uses. The new cattle food is made by
grinding the dry corn stalks. leaves and
tops to powder and mixing it with blood
or molasses, or both. This is pressed into
cakes under a hydraulic press and can be
shipped as easily as bricks or cordwood.
For feeding, it is broken up and mixed
with water.
Actual tests have been made at exper-
iment stations and samples have been sent
to agricultural stations in Europe. The
reports from all sources are very encour-
aging 1t is said at the department that
this food will be particularly valuable for
our cavalry in the tropics and that the
food cakes can be made at a minimum cost
in Cuba and the Southern states. where
thousands of tons of low grade molasses
go to waste annually. and where the cane
refuse ground fine, forms almost as salts
factory an absorbent base as cornstalks.
The cost of making the food cakes under
favorable conditions would be from SO to
$12 per ton and their value on a nutritive
basis would be from 500 to $S5.

ator Call are an insult to the Florida legis.
