officers, as in the case of the Johnson

in the navy of late years as they used
to be, but there's been more class in
the arranged iiohts during the last ten
years or so than there was when the
mIx-ups were more common. During
the last decade I've seen some fights

rough and tumble affairs between the

wallops at each other on the side.
There's been a good deal of pains

years to have the men in first-rate trim
when they got together, and to have

THE Trotting Horse in America"
was the subject of most interesting
article from the pen of Mr.. Hamilton
Busbey that was published as maya
zine article away back in 1873, and from
that article many of the following facts
have been compiled.

A TRIP To
HAL.E|WA
Eight Golfers Qualify
For the Free
Jaunt.

Some lively golf was played on the
Manoa links on Saturday, a large num-
Der of players competing for the pur-
pose of deciding who should make the
trip down to Haleiwa on Sunday to
play for the Haleiwa Cup, the eight
best scorers to be entitled to free
transportation and board and lodgings
at the Haleiwa Hotel during the tour
ney.
Those who will make the trip are as
follows: Austin White, @. H. Berry,
D. w. Anderson, DR.. High, F. Arm

L. Spalding.
The scores were as follows.

1.-THE first public race ever trotted in
America Mr.. Busbey wrote, was in
1S1S-a match against time for $1,000. At
! a jockey club dinner it was loudly as
serted that no horse could be produc-
, ed which could trot a mile in three
minutes. Maj. Jones of Long Island
and Col. Bond of Maryland agreed to
produce such a horse. They named at
| the starting an animal that went by
the name of Boston Blue. This horse
trotted the mile in the specified time,
and, we are told, won great renown."
Among the names of the principal
horses that competed for purses when
the trotting fever began to spread in
this country early in the last century
were Paul Pry, Lady Washington, Top
gallant, Screwdriver, Betsy Baker and
Whalebone. Their names frequently
appear in the early annals of the trot-
ting turf The distances run at that
time were two, three and four-mile
heats Old Topgallant was used for
laboring purposes before his merits as
a track horse were discovered and his
speed developed, and Screwdriver was
so popular that when he died in Phila-
delphia in 1923 one, of the papers there
declared 1.-The emperor of horses is no

MISTAKEN DIAGNOSIS.

There are many people who have
pains in the back and imagine that
their kidneys are affected. while their
only trouble is rheumatism OF the
muscles, which can be cured by a few
applications of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, or by dampening piece OF f1an-
mel with the Pain Balm and binding 1t
over the effected parts. A pain In the

'It was in 1S4S," Mr.. Busbeys in
teresting paper says, that Trustee,
son of the thoroughbred horse, trotted
his celebrated twenty-mile race against
time. His driver weighed las pounds
and his sulky $50 pounds, and the TWEEN
ty miles were trotted in SO minutes 80
1-2 seconds
Almost every one has heard of the
great Flora Temple. She made her
debut on the turf in 1852, when she was
seven years old, and had a marvellous
turf career, and in her time her win
nings netted $4,000. Her best wagon
time, 224 IL, was made on the Union
course, Long Island, on September 2,
1856, and among her famous coInpeti-
tors were Ethan Allen, George NJ.
Patchen, Lancet, Tacony and Highland
Maid.
The famous Dexter that Mr.. Robert
Bonner purchased for $4,000 was six
years old when he first went upon the
turf. His last race was trotted at
Dexter Park, Chicago, in September,
1867 It was less than a month pre-
vious to that date that he trotted his
famous race against time, making the
mile in 2.17 IA.

Goldsmith Maid was in her time a
very queen of the turf. no less so than
Flora Temple. On the Cold Spring
track at Milwaukee, in the autumn OF
1871. she scored three heats in the re-
markab BILE time of 2.20 1-2, 2.17 and
220 IA.
Many famous trots with famous
horses have taken place on Mystic
Park. Buffalo Park Kalamazoo, Fleet
wood and Prospect tracks, and among
the prominent horses that have COM
peted on these for purses have been
Joe Elliott, Goldsmith Maid, American
Girl, General Butler, George Palmer,
jay Gould, Lucy and others.
Mr.. Busbey, IN his paper, gave list
of the fastest time made on the trot-
ting turf by the most notable horses:
The horse Commodore trotted a race
of two-mile heats at Prospect Park Oc-
tober 7, 1872, in minutes seconds, D
minutes 1-2 seconds. The mare Hunt
ress trotted, September %. 1872 in Z
minutes q IA seconds. Prospero, a
three-vear-old colt, trotted at Prospect
Park a mile in minutes SO 1-2 seconds.
Mr.. Ronner's horse Joe Elliott, is
credited with trotting mile in 2 min
utes Is IL seconds. and of this said
Mr.. Busbey, 1.-The time is absolutely
correct. as the performance was public
and the Judges were men of position
and responsibility.
But all of these old nags have now
performed their duties and are off the
turf forever.
