after this unprecedented performance
she was sold to Mr.. w. II Wander
hilt for $4,000. On July 6, 1880.
she gained record of 2.25 aud on
July ~ trotted winning heats in 2.,g.

set her record at 2.u9i, aud Mr. Van
derbilt b ing so annoyed at letters of
fering matches that he sold her to
Mr. Robert Bonner for 100000. Mr.
Bonner never raced his horses. but
consented to let the mare race against
time ut Cleveland on July 30, 1885,
when she again lowered her record to
2.rS3.
Though the record of Maud ). has
been lowered five seconds bv Ahx.
and 40 other trotters have equallrd
on beaten her mark, many horsemeu
are of the opinion that her equal. all
things considered, has never lived.
No trOtter ever defeated her in n race.
not one has ever equalled her on an
oval track her record of 2.OS}, 10 aigh

matchless Directum have tried re
peatedly to do il. In her best davs
she would probably have commanded
higher price than was ever paid for
n mare, whether trotter or runner.
The actual sum paid bv Robert Bon
ner to William II. Vanderbilt was
$4,000, but il is we'll known among
horsemen that Capt. G. \. Stone and
others associated with him stood
ready vt that time TO buy the great
daughter of Harold for 100000.

In her Younger DAYS had become pro

muscled, her conformation was of the
greyhound order, and her weight was
hardly up to the average of other
trotters of equal height. Her hind
legs were neither too straight or too
angular, the hooks clean and long.
and the lower limbs hard and fine.
A rather light tail. which grew light

slightly from her appearance. vet

How will the following suggestion
suit the sanitary authorities and Mr.,
Pain in connection with the tram
carsY In order TO aToid contact be-
tween white people and Asiatics let
separate cars be run for each until
quarantine is over. These cars might
follow each other, the white mans
car preceding. Long distance pas
sengers would cheerfully pay an
extra FIVE cents or even ten cents to
assist in defraying the extra expense,
as many persons earning low wages
are either compelled to walk ha'f a
dozen miles day or to spend their
entire earnings in hack hire.

1t is calculated by thinking men
that the cost Of the bubonic plague
to this city alone, irrespective of
commercial losses in connection with
shipping interests, will not be less
than 81, 100000. 1t is we'll enough
to say, and with some show of truth,
that most of this money will be dis
tributed in the city, and help to re-
pay some OF the losses of the labor
ing and smaller tradesmen, but the
bulk of it will flow into the Golfers
of the rich men. Disasters always
benefit the wealthy in the long run
and the poor invariably suffer, owing
