bred racehorse is generally recognized
as fundamental factor in breeding
and it is not strange that he should be
given first place in horse show and
other competitions. Rysdyks Hamble-

American trotter, was descended in the
male line from thoroughbred, and the
leaven of the Orloff the trotter of

Rooms of Historical Interest.
The rooms which have from time
lmmemorial been set apart for the use
of the reigning duchess of Manches-
ter bear many characteristic traces of
their two most recent owners. The
present duchess of Devonshire was
very fond of Kimbolton, and was init
mately acquainted with the great his
torical traditions of the place. Con-
suelo, duchess of Manchester, as Lady
bolton as bride, and after her hus-
bands accession to the title, her ex-
qulsite taste was free to disport itself
in the delightful rooms which will
now pass into the possession of the
new duchess, who will do well to alter
as little as may be the charming bou-
doir.

Shakespeare, in some immortal lines,
depicted the dream of the imprisoned
queen whom angels visited at Kim
boitun with messages of peace and
comfort. Intimately associated also
with Queen Catherine is the quaint
chapel where she spent SO many hours
of Her lonely days praying in vain that
ward Queen Mary) might not be de-
MED her. And among other interest
ing relics of the Spanish queens So
iourn and death at Kimbolton is a
great chest, which seems to have been
one of her travelling trunks, and
which, owing, perhaps, to the fact
that the poor lady took so few jour
neys, is in excellent preservation; this
interesting relic is placed at the bot
tom of the grand staircase and always
arouses much curiosity in the minds
of fair visitors.
Young Dukes Study.
The room which the young duke OF
Manchester uses as his study was fit
ted up by his grandfather, the sew
enth duke. 1t contains valuable
collection OF both old and modern
booke and also some curious souvenirs
of Napoleon I'LL, who was the late
dukes intimate friend, one such mel
ancholy relic being an ivy leaf picked
by the emperor on the day which fol-
lowed the battle of Sedan. At Kimbol-
ton successive dukes of Manchester
have gratified the family love of sport.
In the white hall, often used by the
seventh duke and by his duchess (the
ent duchess of Devonshire) as a sit
ting room, are some splendid sporting
trophies.

Trenton, N J.. Dec. 16 (SpeciaD.-All traffic on
the Pennsylvania Railroad between this city
and Burlington has been suspended because OF
the food in the Delaware River. No freight was
snt over the road between this city and Camden
all day and this evening ii was found necessary
to abandon the passenger service because of the
tracks being submerged at Bordentown. Pas
sengers are being transported by trolley be-
tween Florence and this city.
Since the freshet of 1895 the Delaware River
has not been turbulent as it is to-day 1t is
q veritable whirlpool, sweeping before it every
thing in its path that is exceptionally strong
in its construction. The bridges are about the
only structures in the direct course of the stream
that have Withstood the strain. The water has
reached a velocity OF from twenty TO twenty
five miles an hour and the speed is steadily in
creasing.
The effect of the rise of water extends back
into the surrounding country from three
miles. People are being removed in boats from
their homes in Fair-st., in the lower section Of
the city. In the cross streets in the neighbor-
hood the occupants of houses have taken refuge
III the second stories and are being supplied with
the neccssaries Of life from boats.
Between Rushing Station and BordentoWn the
loWland is flooded to the depth Of eight feet.
