A FAST PAGER.
Coney, 2:o2A, Purchased by J. H. Bron- son, of New Haven-A We'll Bred Young Householder of Several Cradita hla Racnrds

l Coney, 2:02A, Purchased by J. H. Bron-
 son, of New Haven-A We'll Bred l Young Householder of Several Creditable Records.
 | A prominent topic of conversation
 among horsemen recently has been the purchase of the remarkably fast pacer
 Coney, 2:o2A, by J. Fl. Bronson, of this
 city, who bought the pacer during the F'asg-T -Tipton sale at Madison Square
 Garden last week, paying $4,100, which,
 in the opinion of many judges of equine | value, is not an exorbitant price-an
 opinion that is backed by the statement 1 that MT. Bronson has refused to sell the gelding at very much more than he paid | for the pacer A good authority re- gently stated that the present owner of the horse has refused to sell at $1,000 profit.
 Coney was bred by John w. Gardner, of Los Angeles, Cal, foaled in 1895 and is a standard bred gelding, black in color and about sixteen hands high weighing, as estimated, about eleven hundred pounds. He was owned by James Butler. of New York city. who consigned him to the sale on account, OI IIIG Q6dLIl Ol tIG Heating, who trained and drove the fly CT In several of his record breaking per formances last year, when he closed the seasons campaign in good condition with the remarkably low record of 2:02%.
 The pacer is a member of the Wilkes family of horses, with three or more strains of Hambletonian blood. He was sired by Mckinney, 2:11A, one of the fastest sons of the celebrated Alcy- one, through which sire Coney inherits the race-w winning Mambrino Patchen blood. McKinney's dam was Rosa Sprague, by Governor Sprague, 2:20R. The dam of Coney was Grace Kaiser, by Kaiser, both Alcyone and Kaiser be- ing sons of George Wilkes. The second dam of Coney was Grace w., by Comet, he by Almont, jr., direct descendant of Hambletonian.
 During last season few race horses at- tracted more attention than Coney, when he made the fastest exhibition mile to wagon and won the worlds am ateur wagon record of 2:03%, also the worlds race record to wagon. 2:05M. Near the close of last season Trainer Heating drove the pacer a mile to wag- on which good watches caught in 202%.
 AS stated, MT. Bronson intends to start his fast pacer in races this year.

REGULATIONS FOR LENT.
Announcement by Bishop Tierney Read

Announcement by Bishop Tierney Read lr
 the Churches Yesterday,
 The following regulations for Lent have been issued by Bishop Tlerney to the Ro man Catholic clergy of the Hartford diocese and were read at the masses in all the Ro- man Catholic churches of the diocese yes terdny:
 Episcopal Residence,
 Hartford, Conn, Feb. 10, 1901.
 Rev. Dear Sir-The regulations of Lent for this diocese continue the same as formerly, viz:
 1. All the week days of Lent are fasting days of obligation on one meal only; GUS tom, however, has authorized the use of a slight collation. in the evening and cup of tea or coffee, etc, in the morning. Though the fast also implies abstinence, yet by dis pensation the use of flesh meat Is allowed at all times on Sundays and at the principal meal on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, except tbe second ana last Sat urdays of Lent.
 2 A long-established custom has tolerat- ed the use of eggs, butter and cheese at the collation., provided the laws of quantity be observed.
 3. Besides lard, the fat rendered from any kind of meat may be used on any day in Lent, and this disDensation is extended to the days of abstinence and fast days throughout the year.
 4. Flesh and fish are not allowed at tbe same neal even on Sundays.
 5. Women pregnant or nursing, the sick, the aged and feeble, children under twenty one years of age and those whose employ ment Is of laborious or exhausting char acter are excused from the obligation of fasting, and may use flesh meat more than once on the days when 1t is allowed, but must abstain on Wednesdays, Fridays and hn Sprond md Inst S0tur6nVs
 6. By virtue of a late indult of the Holy See, working people and their families are permitted the use of flesh meat on all the days of Lent, except Fridays, Ash Wednes- day and Wednesday and Saturday of holy week. This dispensation, however, allows the use of meat but once n day to these who are obliged to fast
 z. The faithful should be reminded that tney enjoy these dispensations by the favor of the Holy See, and that even the use of meat on Saturdays throughout the year is not according to the common law, of the church, but q relaxation of It's rigor demand ing on their part corresponding increase of zeal and charity.
 The usual evening exercises of Lent, con sisting of the rosary of the blessed virgin or stations of the cross, sermon and benedic. tion of the blessed sacrament, are reeom mended
 You will exert every effort to inspire your people with penitential spirit, urging them to fly from sin and It's occasion, particularly to abstain from Intoxicating drink, and 10 conseerate this holy season to prayer, char ef charity, works of piety and the frequen- tation of the sacraments, without which the observance of the fast would be of little profit. MICHAEL,
 Bishop of Hartford. James r. Donovan. D. D.,
 Chancellor and Secretary.

 Take three doses of Dr. Miles Nervine per day. and if you cannot sleep take an extra dose at bed time.
