NEW YORK'S GREAT NEW TROT-
TING PARK

TING PARK.
Admirers of fine horses will be inter
ested in the following relative to the
great new trotting park in New York,
the Empire City Park, for the occupa-
ton of the light harness racers, and its
great inaugural meeting on Labor day,
September 4, and continuing one week,
A public-spirted sportsman, Mr. W. IA.
Clark, some time in the fall of 1898, at
ter realizing that the hope of a combl-
nation of capital for the purpose was
futile, resolved to jump into the
breach himself, and furnish the trot-
tiers with a home which should have no
superior in Europe or America. The
site selected was an eminence on Ionk-
ers avenue, in Yonkers, about six miles
above McComb's Dam Bridge across
the Harlem river The location is
beautiful commanding a fine view OF
Long Island Sound on the East and the
Hudson on the west, besides which its
healthfulness and saubrity are not eX-
celled by any spot in the environments
of New York. Here the construction OF
the track was begun about Thanksgiv-
ing time last year. and has progressed
without interruption save for the ele-
ments, day and night ever since, The
construction of the course with its
park-like embellishments, has entailed
an enormous outlay of money and la
Dor. To get a level tract 1t was found
necessary to make cut Of twenty
three feet through part of the ground
and a fill of forty-two feet at another
point, and altogether some six hundred
thousand cubic yards of earth have
lnro,
spared in it's construction at any point.
The grounds outside of the track are
veritable park, the art of the landscape
gardener having been employed to en-
bellish them with beautiful lawns and
walks and drives, until the wilderness
of primeVal thicket and forest which
occupied the site one year ago has been
made to blossom as the rose. The
grand stand is the finest structure of its
kind in the world. II is entirely of
steel, with concrete floor, four hundred
feet long, and has cost one hundred and
forty thousand dollars. 1t will seat
seventy-fve hundred people. 1t is pro-
vided with a number of handsome box
es, while underneath are sumptuously
appointed parlors, ladies' toilet rooms,
restaurant, bar, etc, etc. The club
house is modelled after the style of
colonial mansion and has wide, cool,
inviting porches, while inside is a large
reception room open to the roof and
overlooked by a balcony clear around.
There are also private dining rooms, la

testers are born, not made, it is often
said, but they are required to serve an
apprenticeship of several years before
their proficiency is admitted.
The testing of wines and liquors IS as
eXactlng a profession as that OF TIE
chemist or tea expert with an eduoatea
nose. A great many persons believe
themselves to be fair judges Of vines,
and some earn good incomes because OIL
their supposed taste and smell, Dat
there are not more than rs real experts
in New York.
1T is amusing t. the liquor or Wll:e
tester to hear men declare themselves
to be competent judges of conViviai
beverages because they have bsen drink

salaried men in his particular line. AS

1T is difficult for any one to learn the
testing business of this country. To Ct

the two sense in wine testing smell is
perhaps more important at times
especially when the age If vintage Is
involved, as it ia the bouquet or aroma
which discovers the freshness or an
tiquty of the wine to the able tester.
Most of the experts in New York are
also blenders and began their careers as
coopers or porters, at very modest sal
aries, indeed porter in a wine and
liquor establishment has many oppor-
tunities. He Is washing empty bottles
and cleansing barrels from early to late
and has many chances to taste all sorts

their opportunities and become drunk
ards; but others, with an eye to a
golden-hued future study the business,
and when one discovers the taste or
connoisseur to his employers he may be
certain of promotion. Should he de-
velop the blenders ability in addition to
the power to distinguish good wines
and LIQUORS from bad, he can obtain
plenty of places at a very satisfactory
salary Some wine tasters receive more
than $4,000 q year: but salaries of half
that sum are few and far between in
New York nowadays, owing principally
to the fact that as soon as man eX-
hibits genuine ability as tester he Is
either able to work his way into
partnership in some good firm or can
find some one to start him in business
for himself. -New York Sun.

More Rascality.

Local newspapers should warn their
business men against a rascal who is
operating, according to reports, as
follows: He goes into a store and
claims to have the same name as the
proprietor, and is afraid that things
will get mixed up, as he is going into
business there. In case of goods be-
ing delivered there by mistake, will
the merchant please take charge of
them until he comes for them. The
stranger then goes to a wholesaler
and orders a big bill of goods,
usually jewelry. The goods are sent.
The sharper comes along and takes
them away. AS the good-natured
merchant has received the goods
and allowed them to pass from his
hands, he has to pay for them

Activity in Mining.

Platteville Witness.
The high prices offered for both
lead and black jack ore will have a
great tendency to stimulate the search
for these ores in this locality again.
A number of deposits of the latter ore
are known to exist IN what are
thought to be paying quantities, but
the presence of water has prevented
the working of these mines. With the
advent OF machinery for doing deep
water mining, the chances are that
Platteville will again assume her ear
ly mining activity.

THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1890.

Ex-Gov. Hoard, in his paper, The
Jefferson County Union, says: 1t Is
time that teachers understand that
there is a great deal OF humbug In
their talk about "higher education"
They should strive for wider educa-
tion. Many boy has been turned
away from the farm by the silly idea
taught him indirectly In his school,
that there was more honorable and
profitable life to lead than that OF n
farmer. Such a teacher Is an injury
to the growth and welfare OF a state.

President of the Wisconsin Press Association.
Tho program was we'll arranged for
tho two days. The papers read and
the discussions which followed were
interesting and timely, No false
claims were set up for the press; but,
on the contrary, editors and publish
ers seemed to have u fun realization
OF their responsibilities rs we'll NJ of
their privileges and opportunities.
The bills inimical to newspaper pub
fishers, which have been introduced
IN the legislature, were considered;
but no alarm was manifested In re-
gard to the probability of their en-
actment as laws. John Magic, editor
OF the Mnnitowoc Pilot, IN his excel
lent paper ON "rho Press and the
Pass pleaded for the dignity and
independence Of the press. The key
note Of the meeting was, the express
such dignity and Independence In
journalism ms will command the re-
spect aud support OF right thinking
people. And herein, We hold, lies the
power OF the newspaper for good. 1t
is indeed gratifying TO know that this
thought was uppermost in the minds
of representatives of the press Of
Wisconsin who assembled in Madi-
son last week; and the fact goes to
show that the newspaper press will
continue its leadership in the march
Of human progress; that it is capable
of rising to higher and better things
than party bickering or personal
abuse: and that in SO rising, II will
will ever command the respect and
esteem Of honest, thoughtful men and
women. All honor to those who Sc,

and greater achievements.

What to DO Until the Doctor Arrives

Wllat TO 10 Untll tne DOCTOR Arrives.
1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival of the doctor. An
Albany N. Y. dairyman called at a
drug store there for doctor to come
and see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, which
he hoped would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommended
Chamberlain Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends until he has a
constant demand for it from that part
of the country. For sale by Nivian's
