coming down like coming fate. Every
effort was put forth by the mare, but
she could not escape from the stride of
the stallion, who caught her fifty yards
from the score, swept by and beat her

widest cheers.

Third heat. 1t was now to 1 on
Smuggler over the field. Marvin made
the grand mistake, through over con-
fidence, of nodding for the word when
fully two lengths behind, enabling Gold
smith Maid to take the pole. AT the
quarter, in 339, the mare led Fullerton
by neck, Bodine three lengths behind
the pair, and Smuggler three lengths in
rear of Bodine, which horse he passed
behind the leader when she passed the
half, in 1.074. On the upper turn Snug
gler overhauled Fullerton, and cut him
down like flower, and went for Gold
smith Maid. At the three-quarter pole
he was, however, three lengths behind
her, and was there a horse that could
catch the wonder of the world when she
had such an advantage, and only
quarter of a mile to trot? 1t appeared
there was, for the Maid seemed to 90
back, while Smuggler came on, and as
he kept gaining it was thought certain
that he would beat her out. The finish
was extremely close, At that time at
Charter Oak the reporters stand was
above that occupied by the judges, and
there were two wires stretched across
the track, one directly above the other.

0ii''N WIN ~ SlA llClltS,
Partisans in the vast crowd rent the air
with cries of "Smuggler, Smuggler!",
"Maid, Maid" and the owner of the
stallion became so excited that he left
the grand stand and drove away, being
affected, it is said. as the late General
Franklin Pierce was in his first battle in
Mexico. After some deliberation the
judges decided it dead heat. | have
since been informed that they all agreed
that Smuggler was ahead, but they
thought compromise decision would
be more satisfactory, and that Smuggler
would go on and win surely. 1t was a
grave mistake, for he did not go on and
win. His gait was far more tiresome
than that of Goldsmith Maid. who
INDUCED herself every mile in restful
skips, and she won the next three heats,
in AHA, 2.1S, 2.194, the time of the dead
heat being 2.164. This was certainly
one of the most memorable races ever
trotted, and also regretable, because of
the two plumbers in the third heat,
Marvin nodding for the word when so
far behind, and the judges pronouncng
the heat dead when it was indisputably
won by Smuggler.

Recently an anonymous writer in The
Trotter and PAGER, of New York, has
been giving series of interesting and
newsy sketches, including more or less
sketchy "reminiscences of important turf
events, especially on the Grand Circuit,
not so very far back, but Just far enough
to recall scenes to me when quorum parS
fM. In late issue he wildly recalls
the tremendous-I should be satisfied
with no fainter adjective-race at Ches-
ter Oak Park, Hartford, Conn, Aug. 81,
1876, between Smuggler and Goldsmith
Maid. l say between those two, because
Judge Fullerton and Bodine, who also
started, were scarcely factors, and the
contest was duel. The circumstances
were peculiar and rendered the meeting
of the pair very sensational. 1t was the
centennial year, and Goldsmith Maid, at
Belmont Park, Philadelphia, had equalled
her own time of 2. IA made in 1874 She
was owned by Henry N. Smith, of
Fashion Stud Farm, Trenton, N. j., and
driven by Budd Doble. Smuggler was
owned by Col II. S. Russell, of Boston,
Mass, who paid over $40, 900 for him,
and was driven by Charles Marvin. He
had in July beaten Judge Fullerton at
Philadelphia, in AHA, 21S. at, 2.2O,
the second heat being dead between
them, and for that period it was re-
markably well sustained performance.
AT Cleveland, July 81, in a 1900 free
for-all, he met Goldsmith Maid for the
first time in contest. and it was a rair-
raiser, the mare winning the first and
second heats in 2.15t, 2.174, and the
stallion the next three in 2.16f, 2.19t,
AHA. No such race had ever been
trotted in the world up to that date, and
Smuggler, naturally, became a popular
idol. But he could not beat the Queen
of the Turf again. AT Buffalo, the fol-
lowing week, he cut up tantrums, and
was distanced in the second heat, in
Abb. At Utica he was drawn and at
Poughkeepsie was distanced in the first
heat in 2.164. Then came the memoir
able Hartford race about which | am
writing specially, and which he won on
his merits, but was robbed of the vic
tory. l have before me my own report
of the contest written for The Spirit of
the Times, and hope condensation of
it will be as interesting to some of my
readers who may have been spectators,
as it has been to myself.

three to one on Goldsmith MAID, over

Fullerton and Bodine. The latter drew
the pole, but Fullerton went away so
fast that he led at the quarter by three
lengths in 33, The Maid and Bodine close
together, and Smuggler three lengths in
the rear. The mare had reached Fuller
toms wheel at the half, in 1.07, the
stallion still three lengths behind
her. Fullerton held the lead dur
ing the third quarter, but he and
Goldsmith Maid were on about even
terms entering the home stretch, Snug
gler was two lengths behind, but that
tremendous machinery of his was in full
play, and those who had seen him at
Cleveland felt it in their bones that the
heat would be his. The struggle home
was bitter. Under the whip the little
Maid stole away from Fullerton, inch by
inch, but while she gained inches ON him

there is not as many as :, 600
head of four-year-old steers
within a radius of 200 miles of
Colorado City, and they are just
about as short a II over the range
country. This shor tage, he
says, also extends to twos and
yearlings. Buyers next spring
will be very much surprised at
the small number of twos that
will be offered for sale. Mr..
Robertson says that during all
his long experience as cattle
man he has annually had from
two TO five thousand of twoS to-
sell in the spring, but next
spring he will not be able to-
muster single train load. The
yearling supply was brought to
its present state of shortage by
the general disposition to sell
calves last year, which has been
repeated this year all over the
range country. He believes that
80 per cent of the calves in the
western range country have
been shipped to market this
season. In fact, he says just
about all of them have gone out
that could be gotten to the ship

The inevitable result of this
will be better prices and the

CATTLE FUTURES.

The future of cattle as to price
and in fact everything else de
ponds largely upon the well es-
tablisbed rule of supply and de-
maud. Were it not for the beef
trust we might safely say that
it depends entirely upon that
rule. AS previously stated 10
The News, low prices OF any
product curtail production. 1n
the line OF cattle this is brought
about largely by the spaying of
and the sale of young she stock
for butcher stuff. Last season
and this the sales OF this class
of stock have been unusually
heavy. And this not in one
part of the State only but all
over it. Sug Robertson, Of

the general conditions along
this line in the Texas Stockman
Journal, issue OF Nov. 2, as fol

From Napier, New Zealand,
Herald: Two years ago the Phar-
macy Board of New South Wales,
Australia, had an analysis made of
all the cough medicines that were
sold in that market. Out of the
entire list they found only one that
they declared was entirely free
from all poisons. This exception
was Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
made by the Chamberlain Medicine
Company, Des Moines, Iowa, U.
5. A. The absence of all narcot-
les makes this remedy the safest
and best that can be had; and it is
with feeling of security that any
mother can give it to her little
ones. Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy is especially recommended by
its makers for coughs, colds, Group
and Whooping cough. When taken
in time it prevents pneumonia.

MONEY IN HOGS.

One hundred pounds of kaffir
corn or milo maize, now selling
all over the plains al not over
fifty cents, will add twenty
pounds OF good pork to the
weight of thrifty hog. This
twenty pounds OF pork at pres
ent market prices would bring a
round dollar.
In a country like the Plains
where the average crop of
maize or ka fir will reach a ton
of grain TO the acre and hogs do
as we'll as anywhere on earth
why is there not money in hogs:
Pound for pound these grains,

poses the equal of Indian corn
At the present day there are all
over the plains country thou
sands upon thousands of bushels
of maize and kaffir for which
there is little or no market and
yet the price for hogs rules
high.
When the capital necessary
to enter the hog business on the
Plains is considered, as com
pared to that required for the
cow business, it is surprising
that so few are engaged in it.
When stockfarming becomes
the general rule asin the middle
western states and pure bred or
high grade cattle take the day

near future, then the hog-the

bravery and gallantry. Human
ity has never had a more strik-

errantry than is represented in

and guarded the herds. In the
storm which invited stampede;
in the silent night beneath the

their saddles for many hours
and faithfully kept their lonely
vigil were heroes who may well
be immortalized in verse and
story.

that portion which is given over
to the cattle raising industry,

and necessary adjunct of live
