RECORD BREAI>ISG on THE TURF.


The State Fair Association has paid
particular attention to the racing feat
ure of the coming State Fair and has
made arrangements which are con-
6dently expected TO make the races dur
ing Fair week the greatest ever held
on this track. And this is saying con-
siderable for the Fair Grounds track
is conceded by horsemen to be one Of
the fastest in the country and several
records have been broken on it,
With the excellent racing programme
in view it is not improbable that there
may be some more record breaking
during Fair week Record breaking on
the turf is fashionable this year. and
some time has been made recently
to recognize the wonderful improvement
in horsefesh. Not many years ago the
three minute trotter" was a likely
winner on any track. To-day the sport
ing public is wondering when the two
minute trotter will appear.
In view of the recent record by
Cresceus at Columbus, when that re-
markable stallion trotted mile in
2:02A, it does not seem so unreasonable
to suppose that within a few years the
seconds may be entirely chopped off the
record.
Star Pointer lowered the pacing rec
ord below the two-minute mark with
mile in 59H. While it is certain that
there must be limit to record break
ing there is no reason to believe it has
been reached.
Thirty-nine and three-fourths sec
onds were taken off the record in the
ffty-three years that separated the per-
formances of Yankee and Flora Tenn
pie. In the eighteen years between
the performances Of Dexter and Maud
S. eight and one-half seconds were lep-
ped off the record. By many experts
the work of Maud S. is regarded as
the best trotting of the century. Cres-
eeus has lowered the record by six and
one-half seconds.
Three or four seconds of this gain
must be credited to the pneumatic tires
of the racing sulkie. Even the sulkies
used by Maud S. were a great deal bet
ter than those pulled by Yankee, almost
a century before. American genius,
which never rests, is quite apt to pro-

BIG POSTAL SINESS.

The receipts of the postoffice depart
ment are an excellent barometer of gen.
eral business throughout the country
During the last fiscal year these broke
the record.
1t was thought that 1900 made a rec
ord that would stand for many yeats
with postal receipts Of $97,6S7 900,
about s5000000 greater than the year
before. This caused many to believe
that the s10O.OOoo0o would not be
passed for possibly decade.
Last years postal receipts, however,
topped the record with S104, 7S5, 000-a
gain of over 81 200, 900 in year.
The greatest part of the increase was
in the sale of stamps used in the ordin-
airy transaction of business. In this
one division the increase was over
100000, and this does not includes
sales of over 100000 of Pan-Ameri-
can stamps.
The American public is quick to APP
preciate convenienees. Of the little
stamp books adopted two years ago
40. 100000 were sold during the first
year. Last year there were sold
S4,435, 1896. or more than double.
Rural free delivery has probably had
considerable to do with the extraGrdin-
airy increase in the sale of stamps. It
makes communication much easier and
the farmer appreciates it. With the
spread of the system in the country dis
tricts the postal receipts are bound to
rise higher and higher, and in some
sections have already been found to
more than cover the increased expend
iture of the country delivery.
