TWO-NINUTE HORSES

TrOtting Association Will
Classify Records.
A "WIND SHIELD CLASS"
Thoroughbreds Who Made Records Be-
hind Mechanical Appliances Have
Not DethrOned Old Champions.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Present indica-
tons are that the wonderful trotting
and pacing records made this year by
Lou Dillon, 1;5S1z; Dan Patch, 1:56Ai
Prince Alert. 1:57. and Major Delmar,
1894. will not be classified by the au-
thOrities of the trotting turf with the
records made by horses which We're not
protected by wind or dust shields.
1t is almost certaiH that the records
will be grouped separately in the annals
OF trotting and pacing and be termed
wind shield and paced records" and
the style used in bicycling records be
followed
The effect of this probable action by
the governing boards will cast some dis
credit on this years great performances
and give carping critics of progress
something TO chucl1le over
The trotting associations may in their
wisdom discredit the marvellous exhibi-
tons of Lou Dillon and other horses,
but the peoples recognition of the two
minute trotters and PAGERS is not to be
shaken by such action.

MANcHURIAN TRADE FIGURES.
Statistics Regarding Importations
from the United States for tho
Past Few Years.

The trade Of the United States with
Manchuria. China, shows no percepti-
BILE change in 1902 as compared with
1901. Figures just compiled by the de-
partment Of commerce and labor
through its bureau of statistics show
that the total imports into the port OF
Newchwang, the principal doorway
through which Manchuria Is ut present
supplied, amounted in 1902 to 18,000,-
900 haikwan taels In value, against
100000 in 1901 and 100000 in 1900.
The official report Of the Chinese gov
eminent does not specify all classes OF
merchandise received into Newchwang
from the United States, but does spe-
,ify the four principal articles-Amer-
.can jeans, drills, sheetings, and kero-
sene. The total value of these four
articles of American production re-
ported as brought into Newshwang in
1902, either coming direct from the
United States or from other ports Of
China, was 6,118,920 hail1wan taels,
which at the official valuation Of the
haikwan tael in 1902 would make the
total value in United States currency
S3,S54,920. (The average value Of the
haikwan tael during 1902 is shown by
the Chinese government in its report
as 63 cents.) A comparison Of these
four articles from the United States
imported into Newchwang In 1902
with the figures for the same articles
In preceding years shows that the total
for 1902 was practically the same as
that Of 1901 and 1899. and much greater
than that of 1900, or of the years pre-
ceding the year 1899.

A Tale Of the Time Of the Caesnrs-By
Malcolm Dearborn, Author
of "Lioncl ArdOn.v

This story covers an interesting period,
that of the brutal Tibcrius Caesar and the
trial and death OF Christ. There are two
scenes in which the Saviour figures, as he
Is being led 10 execution, and the effect his
presence produces on the two chief per.
sonages OF the story is graphically described.
The hero, Aristarchus,, is Roman noble
of great wealth. His father, Petronius, has
been doomed to death by order of Augustus
Caesar, whom he had unintentionally Of
Tended. On his last night on earth, while
Petronius was looking from the roof OF his
palace, he witnessed a strange light in the
heavens. 1t rose, paused, vi5rated, then
slowly disappeared in its course towards
Syria, -,
proaches and announces to him the birth OF
son. The Roman marvels, and at once as
sociates the wondrous light in the heavens
with the birth of his son. The light, of
course, was the star of Bethlehem, pro-
claiming the birth of Christ, whose influence
over Petronius' son makes up the main in
cidents of the story. That night Petronius
dies by his own hand to avoid the ignomin-
ious death planned for him by Augustus.
Aristarchus, grown to manhood, becomes
disgusted with the materialism and vapid
luxury of Rome, and is, moreover, involved
IN quarrel with Tiberius during one of the
1atter's drunken orgies. lie flies Rome, and
turns Eastward in his course. There he
learns of the strange fame of the "Naza-
rene," whom he forwith desires to see. His
wish is granted by a sight of Jesus as he. is
being led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; its revolutionizes his
whole life.
The heroine. Bethsaida, who gives name
to the story. is maiden OF humble birth, but
of strange character and commanding beau
ty. Her father has trained her to be dane
ing girl at the court of Plate. She, too, sees
Christ as he is being led to death, and the
effect wrought causes her to plan flight
from the influence of Plate and his court.
Chance brings about meeting between her
and Aristarchus, and their mutual expe-
riences in the encounter with Christ form
bond between the strangely assorted pair,
whose training and environment had been
so foreign to one another.
The alternate bursts of tyranny and kindli-
ness that distinguish Plate, whose love TO
his wife, Claudia, despite his iinfidelity to
her, is his one saving trait, make an engag-
ing study. Claudia herself will, doubtless,
appeal to many readers as the most loveable
character in the book. Her justice, religious
sympathy and devotion are we'll depicted.
The tone OF the book is that OF unquestion-
ing belief in the miraculous birth and mis-
sion Of Christ.
