Malcolm Forbes Fine Stud to be
Sold at Auction.


The announcement that the entire
trotting stud of the late j. Nal
colin Forbes is to be sold at public
auction next month is OF more than
passing interest. It is probable the
most costly and most fashionably
bred collection Of trotters ever gath
cred together, and the prices paid for
them will give pretty good line on
the present popularity of the harness
race horse.
Mr. Forbes was a princely buyer.
He paid 1926, 900 for Arion when
that famous horse had lowered the
ord which still stands, and a price
which has never been equalled. Mr..
Forbes bought Nancy Hanks, 2:04,
when she was still the racing queen,
paving for her $4,000, the highest
price ever paid for a trotting mare,
being $4,000 more than Robert Bonner
gave the late w. H. Vanderbilt, for
Maud S. When Bingen, 2:0634, was
0eFdlQeQ lar ana Wlu0 DIS d )H0HOm0-
nal youngster, Mr.. Forbes promptly
commissioned George Leavitt to buy
him. These are only few Of the
remarkable prices paid for the For
hes horses. w. Cameron Forbes, the
executor of the estate, has estimated
the value of the entire stud to be
$125,000, the sum which was paid for
Arion alone While this, of course
is low appraisal, it is not likely
that the receipts from the sale will
aggregate more than 100000, not
withstanding the fact that there are a
number of descendants of Nancy
Hanks in the collection.
The dispersal of a great stud like
that of Mr.. Forbes affords a golden
opportunity to owners of similar es-
Establishments to strengthen their col
lections and to others who contem-
plate going into the business. but it
seems pity that it could not be kept
intact for some years to come in or
der that Mr.. Forbes's theories as &c
breeding could have a reasonable
chance Of being proved correct or the
contrary

The Democracy of this city read
with green-eyed jealosy of the dis
tribution of ten dollar bills in various
parts of the state. As the scheme is
being worked Systematically, perhaps
this city will be remembered in turn.
We have quite number of Hearst
Democrats here, and it is more than
likely the "great boss will look
after his hirelings. The following
dispatch from New Albany tells of
the distribution in that part of the
country:
"New Albany, Ind, April 12.-En-
velopes containing ten-dollar bills,an
with nothing to indicate why the
in this city by Democrats who are
supposed to be in sympathy with the
movement in favor Of nominating
Hearst for the presidency. The en-
veiopes were postmarked Indianapo
lis and purported to come from the
headquarters of the Hearst league.
The "reenbacks were wrapped in
blank paper, on which there was no
writing to indicate who had sent the
money and for what purpose it was
being distributed so literally. The
fact that money was being sent to this
city was ascertained through letters
received by Democrats who are not
/ favorable to the Hearst movement,
and who have been exhibiting the
letters and contents. Several of the
letters have been taken to District
Chairman Thomas Hanlon who favors
Judge Parker, of New York, for the
presidential nomination. The receipt
Of the letters has caused considerable
comment among the Democrats, No.
of whom have expressed desire to
be placed on the mailing list of the
persons who are sending out the
money. - .

As TO Anaconda.

The case Of Anaconda illustrates the
fact that the lot Of the outcIassed horse
is pretty hard one. even if he be out
classed by but the least trihe, as Ana
Nconda is. The snake hoss' can still
pace several heats in row around 2:02
and BOB But unless he catches him
off he can't beat Prince Alert, and he
must meet him every time he starts
next season.
a great many people do not expect to
zee him beat Audubon Boy next sum
mer and perhaps two or three others
that might be named. If he races on
the grand circuit, he win probably
h. ye to be content with second or third
money as a general thing, which is not
particularly glorious nor especially
profitable.
But there is practically nowhere else
for him to race, for - can beat all the
second class PAGERS 50 easily that they
would not enter nor race against him
IN the free for aIls on the minor tracks.
Just where TO place him becomes. there
fore, a problem.
The general impression is that he is
a difficult horse to drive and not an
ideal roadster But for that he would
probably find his way into some speed
way stable He has won nearly 100
heats In standard time and probably
twenty-five in 2.05 or better. his earn

TRAPPING ERMlNE.
Different Methods For the Full

Grown and Baby Animals.
The colder the climate the finer. the

Fur Company Of the World" in Frank

of obtaining the rare furs are many.

trapper can take with steel trapsyofia
size varying with the game orteven
with the clumsy but efficient deadfall,
but the ermine, the fur Of which is as
easily damaged as the finest gauze.
must be handled differently.
The runter going the rounds of his
traps has noted curious tiny tracks like
the dol and dashes of the telegraphic
alphabet. Here are little prints slur-
ring into one another in a dash; there
dead stop, where the quick cared
stoat has paused, with beady eyes alert
for snowbird or rabbit; here, again, a
clear blank on thesnow, where the crafty
little forager has dived below the light
surface ana wriggled forward like u
snake, t. dart up with a plunge OF his
fangs iato the heart blood of the un-
wary snow bunting.
From the length of the leaps the trap
per judges the age of the ermine. The
full grown ermine has Lair too coarse
TO be damaged by a snare. If, there
fore, the tracks indicate n full s.own
animal the trapper suspends the moose
OF a Topped Irvine or wire across the
runway from q bent twig. which, when
released, springs upward with jerk
that lifts the ermine of the ground
and strangles It.
If the tracks are like the prints Of
baby's fingers. close and small, the
trapper hopes to capture Il pelt ut for
throne cloak Perfect fur would be
married by the Irvine snare. so the trap
per deyises as cunning a death for the
ermine as the crmlue devses when 1t
darts up through the snow and fixes its
spearlikc teeth in tbs throat OF a rabbit.
First he smears his hunting knife
with grease; then be lays it across the
track. The little ermine comes trutting
in dots and daShes and galleps and
dives 10 the knife The knife is frosted
like ice. lee the erInine has licked, so
he lieAs the knife But. alas. for the
resemblance between ice and steel, Ice
turns TO water under the warm tongue;
steel turns TO fire that bIisters and holds
the foolish little stoat by his inauisltiye
tongue, hopeless prisoner, until the
trapper comes.

he went afield for bigger game and

Britt got tired of winning medals,

money. His first professional mill was
