The Board of Appeals of the American
Trotting Association, after taking con-
siderable evidence regarding that dis
puted 1.59a record of Cresceus, post
poDed decision until next May. The
judges of the day all made affidavit that
their watches agreed at 1.594. Per
contra, four outside parties testified that
they all timed the mile in 2.05 and a
fraction. The most interesting part of
Mr.. Ketcham's affidavit is the following,
which relates to the actual perform
ance:
"Affiant did not himself catch the time
of the mile reported by the judges, 1.594.
He did, however, get the first eighth,
which was 14i seconds. Knowing the
ability of the horse to rate mile as fast
as he can go any portion of it, and par
ticularly his ability to make the last
quarter faster than any other part of the
mile, atfiant devoted his entire effort to
driving the horse to his limit. Accord
ingly, affiant gave his attention parti-
cularly to the horse, and did not catch
the time again until reaching the three
quarters pole, where his watch registered
100.
Coming down the home stretch the
horse was going very fast, and was being
urged by the pacemaker. The hand
holds of the reins began to slip, and
affiant was required to release his grasp
in order to take shorter hold above the
hand-holds. The horse has to be held
very steady when going so fast, and even
the temporary release caused him, just

The Christmas number of The Trotter
and PAGER, New York city, has a long
illustrated article on "Middlebury and
the Morgan Horse" written by myself,
which has attracted good deal of atten-
ton. Young Page Potter, who got the
agency for this town, found that they
sold like hot cakes at 25 cents each.
There were pictures of old Justin Nor
gan, Col. S. A. Ilsley, the Congrega-
tional church, and the Otter Greek below
and above the falls. A singular error in
the heading made it read, "By Walter
I. Chester Griffin" instead of having nv
nom DE- plume enclosed in parenthesis or
quotation marks. That was worse than
for dead man to have his name spelled
wrong in the Army Gazette. Otherwise
the number is very handsome, especially

heads of the four champion performers
of the year.

The Rutland Hers Id says "the secret
of the successful operation of a bottle
license, is the character of the man who
holds it,"
This is fair statement. The only
way that bottled liquor can be sold in
safety to the State or the individual is to
have it sold by men of character. These
men should have no share of the profit
arising from the sales; should be paid a
fixed salary that should decrease if over
a certain amount per week was sold and
should be required to furnish a heavy
bond to sell according to law.
