TRoTTING BOARD or REVIEW.
A Horse With as Many Aliases as a

A Horse With as Many Aliases as n
 Professional Burglar.
 Of all the strange tales told before the board of review of the National Trotting association none Is stranger than that which II. NJ. Whitehead re- cited before the board yesterday Judge Whitehead appeared as counsel for Albert b. Thompson, who is un- fortunate enough to own a speedy horse with as many aliases as Il pro fessional burglar. The horse is the famous Bertie R. She has carried the cognomen twice in America, but has dallied with other sobriquets abroad Under the name Of Adria she won SS,T50 in the gay capitol or France Later she was driven under the wire in England a winner Of several thou sand pounds.
 The Frenchmen, believing they were getting the worst of 1t in some manner, barred the swift mare and demanded that the money won In France be re- turned. This was done. Then the ringer" which by the way was raced in England under the name of Polly G.. was shipped to America. Again she was Bertie +. This was in 1898. John H. Schultz purchased the mare at an auction sale. He repented his, bar gain and she was resold to Albert 10. Thompson. That was on November s. 1900. One or the rules of the National association is that n horse expelled abroad by any association stands ex- pelled iii America.
 At the time of the ruling off of "Adria" i'll France. however no such rule existed here. and the contention of Judge Whitehead Is that the board should not punish under a rule which was not i'll existence when the offense was committed.
 An application for an order as to the record of A. l.. Pages bay mare Gin, made nt Dover, N. J., September 4. 1899. asking for 2.30 instead of 223 was allowed.
 In the case of $. R. Gilbert against the National Trotting association, in which itAwas charged that Arch w. started out of her ciass, I. H. McAd- ans and Vance Nichols of polaslSi, Ind, were ordered suspended until payment Of the winnings should be made.
 The application Of George w. Holmes Of Rensselaer,, N. Y. for re- lease fsom suspension for undervalu- ing Red Fox was denied.

A FUNSTON STORY.
Tho Gallant Knnsan's Exciting Expert.
ences with COWBOY

ences with Cowboy.
This is the season for the Funston
story. Some OF the anecdotes told in
reference to the captor OF Aguinaldo
are more or less apocryphal. but until
the gallant general comes back from
the Philippines to deny them they will
probably pass unchallenged, which
has been the case with a yarn that
originated somewhere in the West.
After Funstons brief but exciting
experience in journalism he became
conductor on the Santa Fe line. and
in this capacity found himself in al.
most daily association with various
tough things in the cowboy line. One
day = cattle puncher who had imbibed
more whisky than was good for his
nerves boarded Funstons train at
way station, and Immediately began
to make trouble. Refusing to pay his
fare and shooting holes in the ceiling
of the car proved to be among his spe-
cilaties. He was a deal bigger than
Funston, but the latter did not hest
tate to emphasize his authority by
kicking the fellows pistol from his
hand and throwing MIN off the train.
The cowboy grabbed chunk of bal
last and smashed a car window; then
he fed down the track, with Funston
in hot pursuit, and finging gravel af-
ter the fugitive as he ran. Finally the
cowboy got away and his pursuer.
tired and breathless. returned to his
train. The chase had occupied some
thing over half an hour and Funston's
train was just so much behindhand at
the end of the run. The divisional SUI
perintendent made an inquiry and
Funston explained.
You did right to fire him." said the
superintendent. but what did you
chase him for:"
Because l was mad" replied the
conductor You would be mad, too,
if anybody flung 4 rock through your
window"
Probably" said the superintendent.

PEACH PROFITS IN GEORGIA.
The Increase In Orchards Indicates Fair
Returns.

The Increase In Orchards Indicates Fair
Returns.
Is the Georgia peach crop a profit
able one? There seems to be ground
for asking this question in view of the
fact that statements frequently appear
in tue public prints that unless the
railroads reduce their rates for trans
porting the fruit to market the peach.
growing business will decline in this
State.
1t is true that the peach growers
have great deal to contend with. II
the weather spares their crop they
have still the various pests which in.
fest the trees and the diseases to which
the fruit is subject TO contend with.
Even when a fine crop is assured the
grower is not through with his trou-
bles. Overstocked markets and crooked
commission merchants may make the
margin between profit and loss an ex-
ceedingly small one.
The rates of the railroads may be
higher than they ought to be. We are
not prepared TO express an opinion on
that question. 1t is probable. however.
that the roads which take the peaches
from the orchards make very little out
of the seasons business Their ex-
penses are enormous. For their profit
they look to the money which is
brought into the State by the crop.
The money is distributed in various
ways and the railroads get a share of
the business it creates.
The question as 10 the profits of the
peach crop was suggested by state
ments made recently by some North
Georgia peach growers. According to
their figures there is nothing to which
the Georgia land owner can turn his
attention that is so profitable as
peaches. With all of the drawbacks
connected with their production they
yield far better return than grain or
cotton or cattle. And that they are
profitable is evident from the number
of orchards which are being set out.
AT the present rate of planting 1t will
not be many years before a very large
section of the State will be pretty well
covered with peach trees.
The danger to be guarded against is
the producing of too many peaches OF
one kinda kind that ripens in all
parts of the State at about the same
time. Glutted markets mean low
prices and low prices mean light profits
or not profits at all. The crop should
be distributed between early and late
peaches. BY that means fair prices
may be obtained through pretty long
season.-Savannah (Ga.) News.
