TIE HORSE OF THE CENTURY.

Wonderful Career of the Great Trotter
Dexter.
Mr.. Jonas Hawkins, of Orange coun-
az, obtained from a strolling gypsy
sand brown mare, 1872 hands, with
four white feet. He used her, says
>cribner's Magazine. for family nag
ard by Seeley's American Star got
Black tilly, foaied in 184S, which was
aamed Clara. The fIly became the
property Of his son, Jonathan Haw
kins, and she grew into a mare of 14.3
lands. She had Il star, snip and three
white feet, ana was driven pretty hard
on the country roads by her young mas
ter. In 1851, by Rysdvk's Hamble-
tonan, she had the paragon, Dexter.
The brown eelding, with blaze and
tour white feet. was purchased by Mr..
George i. Alley, for $4OO, and he subse
quently became the property of Mr.. A.
i. FaWcett Dexter, under the tutor
ship of Hiram Woodruff. made his first
Hublic appearance at Fashion Course,
May +, 1864. He met and defeated, dur
ing his short but brilliant turf career,
such horses as Gen. Butler, George NJ.
Patchen. Jr., Lady ThOrne and Gold
smith Maid, and he probably was in
-he enjoyment of more worldwide
iame than any horse foaled on Amer
.can soil. He brought Budd DOble into
eublic notice. and the sight of the
Ytite-faced geld;ng coming with tre-
mendous force down the hOme-stretch
inspired the loftiest dreams. The peo-
pie swung their hats and shouted:
4Hurrah for Dexter. Long live the
1orse of the century,"

day in a motion for a vote Of censure
On War Secretary Brodrick in the house
of The motion was in the
shape of an amendment, in reply to a
speech from the throne, regretting the
fact tina the organization of the army
was not suited 70 the needs of the EN-

a strength Of efficiency had resulted
from the recent increase of military
expenditure"
The motion was indentical with an
amendment moved by Sir Henry Camp
bell-Rannerman, the liberal leader.

army reform scheme in 1901. Today,
however, the vote of censure was pro
posed by Mr.. Mrecke, an influential
