Philadelphia, Sept. 1S.-Cresceus, the
worlds champion trotter, twice tried to
break his own record of 202A at the
Belmont driving park and failed each
time. In his first attempt the great

time in the second trial was 2:O5 Six
thousand persons were present. In his
first trial Cresceus was going well. but
on the stretch. about 200 wards from
the finish. the trotter broke badly and
lost what little chance he had of equal

Ketcham, Cresceus' owner, announced
that he would make second trial and,
a half hour later, after stallion had been
rubbed down. he was again sent out
This time the horse did not break and
came under the wire in pos Cresceus

two trials was as follows:

SUIT OVER A POKER GAME.
State Senator Nelson Of Pawlet is
Defendant--Pack Contained Two
Queens of Hearts.

William Sage, a resident of New
York, who for several weeks has been
a guest at the Pavilion hotel in Mont
peller, has begun proceedings against
State Senator Frank j. Nelson of Rut
land county to recover $3.50 alleged to
have come wrongfully into the pos
session" of Nelson, according to a
Rutland despatch to the Boston
Globe.
The greatest secrecy has been
maintained in the case, the despatch
says, but it has been learned that the
suit is the sequel of a game of poker
played at Montpelier about three
weeks ago, while the state legisla
ture was in session.
The participants were Mr.. Sage,
Senator Nelson. another senator from
the north end of the state, and an
official of the house of representa-
tives. IL was a 25-cent ante, So limit
game. At first Mr.. Sage won, but
later in the evening the chips began
to accumulate in Senator Nelson's
corner. He won several pots in sue
cession.
Finally Mr.. Sage drew four queens.
The other two men dropped out, but
Mr.. Sage and Senator Nelson kept
raising one another until there was
about $50 in the pot. Finally the
senator called" his opponent, who
threw down the four queens. The
senator showed a royal flush. and it
was seen that the pack contained two
queens of hearts.
Mr.. Sage had lost $3.50 before the
last pot was PLAYED. and as Senator
Nelson was ahead that amount, Mr..
Sage insisted that he ought to make
restitution of the money won with an
irregular pack OF cards. The sena-
tor refused saying he had had moth
ing to do with the effectiveness of
the pack

1.-The Two Sisters" Tomorrow Night.

Denman Thompson and George w.

tiers" the real companion piece to
THE Old Homestead" is booked for
the Auditorium tomorrow. Saturday
night. and will be given a perform
ance of surprising excellence, by Hick-
ey Il Warmington's company. The
high standing of the authors and
management is an assurance to the
public that this attraction will be one
of the best offerings of the present
season. 1t is some years since this
play has been seen here, in fact it has
been in retirement a few seasons, but
1t is remembered with affection by
theatre-goers and as the authors have
rewritten it right up to the fashion
and requirements of the minute and
the management has given it all pos
sible artistic, pictorial and dramatic
embellishments, it will undoubtedly
be a great drawing attraction here.

Turnips are good for the table and
good for the stable. Stock are very
fond of them. And the yellow varie.
ties contain very large per cent. OF
nourlshment. We have found the vel.
low rutabagas to be excellent food for
horses, cattle and hogs. Indeed, we
have found that our mules would quit
eating corn at any time to eat the tur-
nips.
That they are good for the table is
proved by the fact that our grocery
merchants find ii necessary and profit.
able to keep them in stock even when
they have to be brought from the
Northwest, or imported from Canada,
That they should be thus imported is
a reproach to our Southern intelligence.
Turnips grow readily all over the
South and yield wonderfully Very
few crops can be made to produce
more per acre than rutabagas. From
1000 to 1900 bushels per acre have of.
ten been grown. Such yields as these
are very profitable. The demand is
ready and the price is steady.-Cultiva.

Cultivation OF sorghum is about the
same as that required for corn, If the
crust should form before the seed ger
inmates or after plants appear above
the ground, the field may be narrowed
to thin out the plants and break the
crust. Flowing does sorghum but little
good unless It be planted in rows and
thinned out in hills as for syrup grow
ing The harrow is the best imple-
ment for use. This may be used freely
until the plants are too high for such
work, when the cultivation should
cease. AS rule the thicker the stand
the better for forage. This, of course,
depends largely on the strength Of the
soil and the food given by application
Of fertilizers.
The moving machine is the best for
harvesting a field OF sorghum grown
for forage. The stalks may be cut the
same as ordinary grain. If left on the
ground until after a rain much Of the
feeding value is lost because of the
blades spelling and the dirt sticking
to the plants. When the heads are
well formed Is the best time for cut
ting the plant. 1t may be left in small
punches to dry or hauled away to the
stack silo and put up ready for winter
feeding, Sorghum designed for dry
feeding should be kept under shelter
in the barn or shed. Those who have
not tested it will be surprised at its
feeding value.--Souther Cultivator
