A Marvellous Accomplishment.

A noted New York chef. In speaking
on the subject few days ago, said:
"Did you ever stop to think what 1t
means to serve from fifty to 125 people
n meal in dining car? The neces-
sarily small space In which the meal
must be prepared, the rapid manner in
which 1t must be served, the fact that
all the time the train Is running at a
high rate of speed, md that the diners
are moving in and out OF the dining
car, In the very limited space allotted
for the walters to serve the meal, all
add mat italy TO the difficulty Of the
situation.
"ln looking over dinner menu In
use on the New York CentraPs Tween
tieth Century Limited, | was surprised
to find that this dinner would cost, at
any first -class hotel In New York, be-
tween 81 and So. or course, all Of the
dishes on the menu would not likely
be ordered by any one person, but the
fact that each patron has the entire
menu to order from is the foundation
for my estimate Of what the dinner
would cost in New York.
Among the dishes served on the
day | examined the menu were green
turtle soup, shad, fresh mushrooms,
spring lamb teal duck fresh tomatoes,
Stra wberry shortcake etc, etc. From
the Brooklyn Standard Union.

TWO.MlNUTE TROTTER.
Lon Dillon Breaks the Worlds Record
at Read willie, Mass.

This year is destined to remain memoir
able in the history of the horse. Not
only has the running record been broken,
but the pacing record, thanks to the
achievement Of that nimble and willing
animal Dan Patch, has been broken. Now
comes the news Of II still more eX;raordi-
nary performance i'll the announcement
that at Rcadvillc Mass, Lou Dillon
trotted IL mile in two minutes.
Lou Dillon. owned by G. *. G. Bill
lings of Chicago, is the new worlds trot-
ting champion, having displaced the
great Crcsceus in her trial against time
at Readville. SO easily did the little
mare perform her work that it is the
universal opinion Of hnrness-hor.H men
that Lou Dillon can beat the 200 mark
and possibly she can come close to the
harness record of ! 30 made by the PAGER
Dan Patch.
No one who has paid even curSory at
tention to the development Of the horse
needs to be told what this announcement
means 20 the horse breeders of the world.
For nearly a century the speed record
for trotting horse has been slowly low
cred, each decade seeing Il few seconds
Topped off from the thrcc-minute record,
which was deemed fast at the beginning
of the nineteenth century. Fifty years
ago the fact that speed Of mile in
two and Il half minutes was obtainablc
was accepted with surprise and elation.
The extraordinary fame won by Maud
II. in 1880 was due to the fact that she
had reduced the trotting record below
2:1O For many years Maud SIS record
of mile in 2;OSM represented the limit
Of sDncl obtainahle hy trottprs and from
that time to this the possibility Of evolv
ing horse which would cut the record
to two minutes has been in the minds CT
harsemen throughout the world,
While Tho Abbot and, later, Cresceus
succeeded in cutting the record still fur
ther, it has remained for the tleet-footed
Lou Dillon to take the honor Of making
the first two minute record. The possi-
biity OF trotting a mile in two minutes
is no longer in dispute. 1t is an accom-
plished fact The only question now is
whether some still speedicr animal may
not lop few more seconds off the rec
ord and thus establish n new goal for the
abolition of the horse fancier. The steady
increase in t.c speed of trotters to he
noted during the century in which the
onc-mile record was lowered by fifty
nine seconds may not seem Of much utili-
tartan Importance at first glance, but the
truth is that it has been accomplished
by general Improvement i'll horses. The
two-mn,He trotter stands MS proof that
stronger. soundcr swifter animals are
harnessed to all manner of horse drawn
vehicles to-day than those that worked
for man in past generations.

The momentary pause of amazement
was broken by Courtlandt Loosenine

ne advanced with outstretched hand.

puzzled hair, what brings you here

As he ceased speaking. Courtlandt
promptly introduced the slender keen
eyed. gray-haired gentleman to Sylphidc
as his family physician, n man who had
been present ut his advent into the world,
and in whom he reposed the most impli-
cit confidence. They then seated them
selves, Sylphide and Lucian side by side
upon the sofa, while DIR. Gresham took
a chair so as to be able to face the pair.

White, who has just been released
from the penitentiary after serving a
term Of Imprisonment for arson, was
caught near where the fire was first
discovered He was taken to the po-
lice station and will be charged with
starting the conflagration.
The fire originated within stones

April 26, 1906 was checked. The Hull
fire started on the opposite side OF the
river and spread to the taWa side,
destroying millions OF dollars worth OF
property. It burned out near where
the Ottawa & Parry Sound railway en-
Aters the Western part of the city, and
it was in the lumber yards near the
railroad that yesterdays fire orig
mated.
Two hours before the principal fire
started two smaIler blaZes were dis

the lumber yards near the Canadian
