pressed when it was announced that

auto became over heated and it was
necessary to send to New York for
new parts.

Mr.. NILS Not Worrying.

Edward K. Mills, the republican
candidate for state senator from Nor
ris county to succeed Thomas j. Hill
lery, appointed by Governor Fort as a
member of the state railroad commits
sion, is not worrying over the validity
of the election. 1t was reported that
because the governor or the legislature
had issue no writ of election that
the election Of a senator in Morris and
Ocean counties this fall to fill vacan-
cies would be illegal and that the men
elected could be enjoined from serving.
ssI'm not worrying" Z" said Mr.. Mills
when asked to-day about the matter,
81 think it will amount to nothing ?
5ssaOf course County Clerk Mott was
formally notified by the secretary Of
state that vacancy existed and that
an election should be held,' said Mr..
Mills, but that does not make it
valid and the election would be held
anyway" 1t is expected that the SEN
ate will accept the men elected with
out any trouble.
Mr.. Mills has no opposition, the
democrats having nominated no one
to run against him. The prohibition
istA and socialists have both nomin-
ated senators BY petition but neither
party polls much Of a vote and no dan
ger is looked for from that score.

MR. TWoMBLY'S STUD.
He Had Been Breeding Extensively at
Florham Farms.

He Had Been Breeding Extensively at
Florham Farms.
Until the recent sale of the stud
comparatively few horsemen were
aware that Hamilton Mckay Twombly
was breeding $50 extensively and sue
cessfully at Elorham Farms. Seven
teen years ago he imported from Eng
land such hackney mares as Nelly III,
daughter of Denmark, that won sew
enty-two first prizes and was champion
of the National Horse Show of 1895 !;
Pepita, by Cadet out of mare by Con-
fidence, and twice champion OF the
Islineton show in London; Rising
Emma, winning daughter of the
great Confidence; Nora, by County
Member out of ENelly, by Denmark,
aud champion in England Sweet
est, another noted winner and daugh-
ter of Connaught, and Bury Romance,
an Islingtonsprize winner and daugh-
ter of Contest.
For "a few fyears he developed his
young stock and exhibited successfully
at the National and other shows, and
then his stud dropped out of sight.
Nearly all horsemen assumed that it
had been dispersed, but its recent sale
to Mr.. Watson disclosed the fact that
it was intact, with some OF the famous
old imported mares and the pick OF
their descendants still on the place.
Most of the young horses are by Ac-
robat ", a grandson of Confidence and
Fireaway, that has wonImany prizes
in American shows, and Florham
King, a son of Acrobat v. and Nelly
III. Florham King is chestnut stall
ion, just under fifteen hands high, and
is probably one of the finest horses OF
the hackney breed to be found in the
United States. When Mr.. Watson
bought the stud he was unregistered,
unframed and in the rough, and had
never been seen or heard of in public
His new owner is getting him ready
| for the National Horse Snow, and pre-
dictions are made that he will cause a
sensation when seen at the Garden.
Another grand young stallion in the
stud is Florham Squire, three-year
old chestnut, about 1873 hands high, by
Oxford King (son of Acrobat W out Of
Nelly III.
