LIST OF 2:1O SPEEDERS,
Showing How Number Has Increased
Since 1883 to 1901.

When the total number of 2:10 trotters.
1885, is thought of few people stop to think
of the comparatively small number of sires
credited with having had to do with the
production of the dams of two or more in
the select list, says the Kentucky Stock
Farm. The figures may not prove any
thing. and in presenting them at this time
there is no intention that they should. But
they may be none the less interesting. But
thirteen stations are entitled to a place.
Mabrino Patchen, who would be counted
indifferenty bred these days. leads with
the dams of four to his credit. Nutwood
and Robert McGregOr are the only ones
that have three each. Harold remains the
only one that is credited with a double 210
producer at the trOtting gait. The growth
of the 2:1O list since 1888 is shown in the
following table:

NASTURTIUM A FAVORITE
ODDS OF TO NOW PLACED
AGAINST wHITNEY'S HORSE.
American Horses VIII he Entered for
AstOr Cup Event-List of 2;1O
Speeders Since 1883.

LONDON, Jan. u.-Now that William G.
Whitney's Derby candidate, Nasturtium.
and his stable companions are safe at
Newmarket, and the English experts have
had a chance to see them, Nasturtium has
become a prime favorite for the Derby.
sharing with the Duke of Westminster
the top price-6 to l against. There is
every reason to believe that under any
thing like favorable training conditions
the American entry will carry more money
than any starter in the coronation Derby.
The sporting papers devote columns to
describing Nasturtium. and the bookmak-
ers are counting on a plethora of Amer
lean money. These latter are determined
tc make their transatlantic customers
pay high for their patriotism. Seldom has
a horse, with the exception of Flying Fox,
the Duke of Westminsters horse, which
won the Derby of 1899. and which was
known to outrank all competitors, started
at Epson with such odds, yet it is antici-
pated that this will be Nasturtium's pen
atty for fame.
There is more or less speculation to
who will ride Nasturtium, and there is
some talk that Mr.. Whitney will send over
q new jockey.
Second only to the interest taken in the
Derby is the anticipation regarding the
Ascot meeting This fashionable event,
coming just a week before coronation day,
promises To be of more or less brilliancy.
The fact that King Edward has entered a
number of important horses for this meet
ing heighJens the interest. With seven
sealed and four open New York entries
out of sixty-eght candidates for the Ascot
cup. the race cannot fail to attract Amer
leans. Mr.. Whitney is undoubtedly re-
sponsible for one or two of the New York
entries which probably include Nastur-
tium, while the Keenes and Mr.. Croker
have two such entries. The King is enter
ing Lausan.
The Keenes are evidently prepared for a
vigorous English campaign, Foxhall Keene
having no less than four entries for the
Chester Gun.

Butler played the poorest game against
NJ. T. H. S. the collegians have put up this
season There was miserable lack OF
team work. and the individual playing was
also very bad. with the exception Of Hug
gins. who played brilliantly. His goal
pitching from foul was one OF the features
of the evenings games. He made eleven
baskets out of fifteen trials. The game
was fast at times and the irregularity of
the bursts of speed caused nearly all the
plavers to become weakened. higgins
started the scoring for Butler by tossing
three goals after foul. but Earl Minor tied
the score with a beautiful goal from field.
Kaylor made a goal from foul and fol-
lowed il with a goal from field. He played
stronger game than he did against
Shortridge last Saturday night, and his
field goals started NJ. T. II. :. in the lead.
Kaylor however, had a strong opponent
in Longley and the tussles between the
two centers were very interesting. r.
Minors playing aided materially in Train

DEBORAH Wins From McGregor.

The football game at the fair
grounds Saturday afternoon between
the high school teams of McGresor
and DEBORAH attracted a good sized
crowd. There was much parleying
before the game started over the
makeup of the McGregor team, they
having brought with them two or
three men who had graduated from
the high school, and who were ex-
perienced players. After throwing
out one man the game started, but
proved an easy victory for the home
eleven, score 6 to 0. Although there
was quite difference in weight in
favor of McGregor, our boys played a
splendid, snappy game, worked sever
al new plays successfully, and sur
prised the spectators with their splen-
did team work. Raglan, the Wiscon-
sin coach who has been here for ten
days past, has made splendid progress
with the team.

Hon. M. d. O'Connell, of Fort
Dodge, Solicitor of the United States
Treasury has agreed to come out to
his home state for few speeches, and
DEBORAH has been fortunate in secur-

deep thinker, and an able speaker, and
no doubt will give an address that
will be highly pleasing to the large
number who will listen.
Congressman G. N. Haugen, of
Northwood. has also promised to be
present and address the voters, and
there are large number who would
be pleased to hear him again.

of merit, the different numbers by the
orchestra being rendered with a pre-
cision and excellence that called out
repeated encores. The solos of Miss
Wood were also appreciated and re-
ceived deserved encores. If the re-
naming entertainments of the course
are as good as the opening one, and
they surely will be, those who have
the matter in charge will be highly

What Your Taxes Will Be.

There are a great many people
throughout the county who do not
definitely understand what additional
tax they would have to pay in case
the new court house proposition car
ries, many of them believing that it
will cost them several times as much
as it actually will. The proposition
as we understand it will involve a
tax of two mills on the dollar, or in
fact little less than that, and any
person who pays taxes can easily
figure out within few cents at least of
what his tax would be by comparing
the amount of taxes he paid in 1901
with the nearest amount in the table
below, and estimating his court house
tax from the amount opposite The
table was compiled by the DEBORAH
Posten, having been selected at ran
dom from the list. giving parties who
pay small as we'll as the largest taxes
