THE MINNESOTA USELESS.
The Proposal TO Tow Her to New

BOSTON, April 3.-The old United
States frigate Minnesota is about to be
turned over to the Navy Department by
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. and
the Department of Yards and Docks is
wondering what disposition to make of
the old relic, which they say is in pretty
bad shape.
The frigate has been used for years by
the Massachusetts Naval Brigade "a
drill ship and headquarters. At the
Charlestown Navy Yard there is little
room for this ancient ship.
A report came from Washington that
the Minnesota was needed at Newport
but on examination here Naval Con-

whether the ship could be put in safe
condition to be towed to Newport with
out eXtraNagant expense.

Horse Department Criticised.

D. n. Coats of Springfield, Mass, who
was an exhibitor in the horse department
of the Valley Fair, wrote this criticism
over his own signature in the Republican
of Wednesday;
As one who is interested in fair play In
judging horses and considering the merit
of those entered at the various cattle
shows throughout the country, l wish to
say something regarding the methods
adopted at Brattleboro last week. That
the conditions governing entries in the
"gentlemen's driving class" were ignored
is a matter of common talk. But leaving
that out of the question, the merits of
various horses entered in this class were
sadly misjudged and overlooked, If one is
to estimate those merits according to the
usual standard. 1t Is certain that there
was too much noise in the Judging
Sometimes such noise is not objection
able, but when it pervades the whole
horse department It. has a bad effect
The first and second premiums in the
driving class We're awarded to horses
that were inferior, to say the least One
was not driven by its owner, as the rules
require, and, i'm the language of the
street there seemed to be "too much
Johnson" I know of no reason for Civ
ing prizes In a "gentlemen's driving
class" simply because the horses so hon
ored are sired by a stallion owned by an
be the superintendent of the horse de-
partment.
Something also should be said about the
starter of the races, a man whose name
is the familiar one of Smith. His treat
ment of the drivers was unrea sonabIe and
ill-manered. He ordered the drivers abous
as though they were poor trash. There
is surely no justice in starting race of
with the pole horse under a dead break
and in another heat Starter Smith, after
the horses had scored but three times
told the driver of the pole horse that he
must look out for himself on the next
trial.
The horse department bids fair to
become more and more important
feature of the fairs, and only fair treat
ment is needed to gain the interest and
support of the many horsemen in New
England. 1t will surely be in order to
make some changes at Brattleboro before
the fair next year
