 ap end of racing and of the breeding industry is the consummation to be desired,
 The survival of racing under regula- tons dinsinishing the propee tions of the professional gambler. as a layer of odds and as molder of the charac- ter of the turf, will be somewhat dis appointing to some of the fanatics who wogid Nave every race course become plowed field, and every thorough bred breeding plant nursery for cat- tie or cart horses. but killing sport and an industry to kill parasitic evil is like burning the house instead of having spring cleaning. The con- troversy between tobacco men has brought more lawlessness and disgrace upon Kentucky within the last two years than horses have been responsi- bie for in century. yet no one who Is altogether sane would advocate a law making tobacco growing a felony In order to stamp out night riding. Those who would destroy racing rather than allow any one to back his judg- ment" at the track will probably not be found. In the final analysis, to be in the majority. A reasonably res pectabie turf will be suffered to sur vive--but 1t must be reasonably res pectable.

HISTORY OF A
 FAMOUS LINE
How Mason and Dixon Made Their Boundary Between Maryland and
 Pennsylvania.

The Federal Government has seldom issued a more valuable and interesting document pertaining to the history and Reography Of the country than the two bulletins. just pub blished. relating to the boundaries of the States and territories and an account of impor- tant changes. One of the bulletins fNo. 22s) contains extracts from treaties effecting the boundaries; des- criptions of the various additions to United States territory from the Lou Isiana Purchase down to the accession of Tutulia and adjacent islands; a sketch of the history of the public domain, and details concerning the boundaries of each State and territory. It is illustrated by numerous maps and historical diagrams.
 Mason and Dixon Line.
 Among the interesting details given is the following account of the famous Mason and Dixon line.
 According to the original grants of Pennsylvania and Maryland the fortieth degree of north latitude. This line being found to pass north Of Philadelphia and to exclude Penn sylvania and Delaware Bay. nego- tiatlons ensued between the proprie- tors to rectify this geographical blum der and for nearly century the mat ter remained unsettled.

Taking decision of Lord Chancellor Hardwick, in i7B0. as the basis of final adjudication an agree ment was signed July {, If6e. By this agreement the line between Penn sylvania ana Maryland on the one part and Maryland on the other was determined as follows, viz:
 "A due east and west line should be run across the peninsula from Cape Henlopen to the Chesapeake Bay. From the iexaot middle of this line should be drawn q line tangent to the western periphery of circle, having radius of twelve English status miles, measured horizontally from the center of the town Of Newcastle.
