Gets Back Island.

Montgomery, November 26,-(SpeciaI.} }--- The supreme court has re-established the title of the county of Lawrence to one of the big islands in the Tennessee river By the organization of the state it was given to that county. Later an act was passed holding that islands belong to counties whose lines are closest. The Lawrence side of the island washed off until it left the main body nearer to Limestone, which county put in claim for it.s The court however, holds that the original tile was the best. The island is very rich and lends much in taxes, hence the desire for it.

IRISH HORSES AND ATHLETICS,
Climate of Emerald Isle Seems to
Strengthen Strain.

The history of horses, especially of
thoroughbreds, goes to prove that
parts of Ireland and Australia are the
very best cradles for horse breeding
In either Europe or elsewhere, with
England as the second best, perhaps
the equal The suggestion has been
thrown out that the secret lies In a
lime subsoi. The reason for the sup
position a little obscure. The pres
ent writer has found that partridges
bred on such soil are heavier and
stronger and, 1t seems, fly faster than
others; but it is hardly an analogy
that can be applied to the horse.
There are other curious anagolies. It
has long been noticed that the best
high jumpers among human athletes,
even when the scene of their feats is
America, are IF Irish descent. It is
not less certain that the best jumpers
among horses, especially a large per-
centage at Continental concours, de-
rive their origin from Ireland, with
Australia and England as occasional
rivals. From the statistics energies
strong presumptive evidence that the
climate even more than the breeding
