Three-miIe Mark of 5,19.

New York, Feb. 2i-It Is not so many
years ago that the making of a new
three-mile record would have aroused a
Juror among racing devOtees. but it is
safe to say that the name Of Mamie Al
gol, which mare ran three miles in 519
at City Park, New Orleans, on Saturday
will not be handed down 10 as admiring
posterIty as that Of a great performance
Records, especially over distance Of
ground. are more often achieved by sec
Ond and third raters than formerly. when
to be a record breaker usually meant that
the horse when did il was the champion
OF his day.
Mamie AlgOl is simply a "rater'' or
plodder. as in fact are al four of the
racers which ran in the three-miIe race
Their temperaments are such that it is
no great effort for them 20 run three or
four miles at a steady pace, which finally
lands them within the record. It Is ex-
ceptional TO find a field OF raters of the
class of Mamie Algol. Alma Dufour

long races. but which are usually easily

DO Not Like the Distance.
Some horses are so high strung and
difficult TO restrain that It is cruel 10 run
them in long races. SO notable a per-
former as Cicero. even though he won the
Derby, failed TO run at all creditably
when the distance was extended 10 the

the following year. He was bad third

although only two months
before this Cicero had won in canter at
a mile and "A half with 10 pounds up. The
Ascot Cup in which ne was beaten was
run in the best time on record for the
race, however, yet the Derby winner Of
the year before was a bad third in t. No
doubt he Is not a ''TateT," and the turf

The present holder Of the record in
America at four miles is Lucretia Borgia
which mare, then four years old. was re-
quired to carry only eighty-five pounds in
her task. She ran the four miles in III,
or at the rate of each mile in about 1.f72t.

LEWISTON ENJOYING A BOOM.
Protest Against New Counties Signed
by Over $500 Persons.

Former United States Senator Hen
ry Heitfelt, mayor of Lewiston, ar
rived last evening on a delayed train,
says the Boise Capital News. He says
Lewiston is very prosperous and they
look for big things this year. The
Milwaukee road is almost certain to
come to Lewiston, he says; the Lew
iston & Southeastern Electric line is
financed and will be built to Grange
Vile from Lewiston; the Inland Elec-
trio line from Spokane will reach
Moscow by the middle of the summer
and will get into Lewiston by next
spring and the Short Line extension
down the Snake connecting Hunting
ton and Lewiston is already started
Altogether the outlook is very bright.
Senator Heitfelt is one of a COM
mittee sent down by the Lewiston
people to oppose the creation of the
new counties of Clearwater and Lolo
out Of Nez Perce. he thinks the time
for a division is not now, as the next
few years of railroad building will
likely change the conditions to such
an extent that any division made now
would not be satisfactory later on.
He has a remonstrance with over $500
names against the creation of these
counties.

That the stock of Alberta at pres
ent roaming the prairie, particularly
the cattle, are in a precarfous condi-
tion there is no doubt" said Felix
McHugh in an interview in Spokane.
He is one of the largest individual
stock owners in Alberta, and has just
arrived from his ranch, 60 miles
southeast of Calgary.
Mr.. McHugh left the city just
month ago, expecting to be back In a
few days. Upon arriving at the ranch
the cold weather having set in, he
found that 1t would be impossible to
return to Calgary without his interests
suffering. Mr.. McHugh is displaying
several frostbitten fingers which tend
to forcibly demonstrate his encounter
with the elements in rounding up his
cattle, says a Spokane paper.
He has succeeded in rounding up
number alone he expects to lose
more than 6 per cent in spite of the
fact that they are corralled and fed
during the greater part of the cold
SPELL Asked what he thought of the
chances Of the stray cattle which had
no shelter and were not fed, Mr.. Nc
Hugh stated that their chances were
very poor.
Thousands Of cattle belonging to
the large outfits, who either did not
have the hay or do not as a rule feed
in the winter months, have perished,
and a great many of those that re-
main are in too poor condition to
pull through till spring. In his opin-
ion, IL the weather does not moderate
shortly it will tell seriously on the
horses, particularly the older ones
and the mares.
Another serious detriment to the
welfare of the cattle and horses In
general is the crust of snow that has
formed in some places strong enough
to carry the animals. Not only does
this crust hinder the animals to cer-
tain extent from paving for the grass,
but in their weakened condition when
they break through they are often
unable to get up.
