LOU DILLON is
HERSELF AGAIN

NEW YORK, June 19.-Detailed reports
of Lou Dillon's performance at the Ber-
lin track have reached this country and
they more than prove that the world S
champion trotter still has her old-time
speed after more than four years retire
ment
When the trotting world was first in
formed that Lou Dillon with other trot-
ters belonging to C. X G. Billings would
be sent abroad to demonstrate to for
eigners the speed quality of American
trotters. there was great surprise among
horsemen and breeders. as no sensible
man could believe that after being SO
long out Of training she could ever be
brought to demonstrate any kind of
speed, yet the champion had surprised
horsemen during her racing career and
proved again that she could do the same
She was taken UP early in the spring
ana once more harneSSed to be prepared
for speed exhibition abroad, and when
she was shipped to Germany she hardly
had had two weeks work. She was
scheduled to start in public May IA, be-
fore she was fully acclimated. The re-
suit OF her effort, therefore, was awaited
On this side with much anxiety.
An international stake was named the
Lou Dillon stake, thus leaving no other
course open but to start the champion.
derstand that the mare was not yet in
form to carry her speed at long distance
consequently she was started to cover $50
meters, or about one and one-third fur
longs. Her time for the distance was
given officially as 10 seconds. which was
at the rate Of 1.16 to the kilometer. The
distance and time of her performance
are such that her speed showing can be
exactly rated according to our system of
computing time in harness races. Care
full figuring shows that by covering 800
feet and fraction in IS seconds Lou Dill
Ions speed showing at her initial start
was at the rate Of a mile in 2O2. So
In other words, had she covered 644
times more of her distance at the same
rate of speed, or 10 seconds. her mile
would have been shade faster than
202il2. This wonderful speed performance
was made under many disadvantages.
What the great trotter will do after she
gets fully acclmated and reaches Aus
trian tracks in August, where the footing
is almost as fast as ours. remains to be
seen, yet, barring accidents, she would
be fully able to trot around her un-
paced mark of 2.O1. or equal 1t, before
she closes her exhibition career on the
continent.

HARNESS MEETINGS

NEW YORK. June 19.-According to

the only distinctively harness meeting

good purses offered to them.
OF the three grand circuit meetings
only one will be given this year. at
Syracuse with the state fair, while
Poughkeepsie abandoned its meeting
one of the best in the eastern section

The senior class at Columbia before
graduation contributed its last efforts to
the rehabilitation OF foot ball at that
university. The class unanimously de-
cided that foot ball was the most popular
OF college sports and with the same
unanimty declared that 1t was the one
thing that Columbia lacked. This is the
sentiment of the graduates as well as the
undergraduates.
II is still open to question whether foot
ball will ever be restored to Columbia.
The fact that all elements, save the few
in authority, want the game would prob
ably prove sufficient at most universities.
but il does not seem 10 act that way at
Columbia. The New Workers have now
been without the game for three years.
The only concession made to the stu
dents was the permission last year TO
engage IN limited number OF interclass
contests. These aroused considerable en-
thusiasm and some Columbia men are

FORTY-NINTH DAY.
Morning Session.

Senator Coelhos fish pill was tabled
in the House of Representatives this
morning on ADVICE of the health ana
police committee which declared:
THE object of this bill is to prohibit
aliens from fishing within certain lin
its from the beach line, combining them
to deep-sea fishing only. Although
this bill would allow them to fish be-
yond the reef, it would still prevent
them from fishing for the required bait
which can only be obtained within the
prohibitory zone and thus impose upon
them an unnecessary hardship and eX-
pense.
your committee believes that the
passing of such bill would defeat the
objects sought, but on the other hand
materially advance the price of fish to
consumer all over the islands and
whatever rev might be benefited, the
whole community would be the suffer
ers and more particularly the Hawai-
ian-Americans."

ORDER OF THE DAY.
Senate bill fixing witness fees and
mileage passed third reading 1870.
Senate bill relating to exemption OF
personal and property taxes was read
third time.
Knudsen asked how much would
the bill reduce the revenue. Yester-
day they increased the appropriations
by 1852 900 If they monkeyed with
the revenue also they would be liable
to be confronted with the necessity
of an extra session.
Fairchild stated that the ways and
means committee had in preparation
an elaborate statement of the tinan-
ces of the Territory, including the
counties. He did not believe in the
principle of the bill because every
man should be willing to pay his
rightful share of the expenses of the
government under which he lives
Still he did not believe that the bill
would materially reduce the revenue
He could not vote for it, as if the
burden of taxation fell uniustly the
law should be changed.
Mccarthy regarded the bill as the
companion bill of that already pass
ed raising the income tax exemption
from $1,000 TO $500. There were PEG
pie owning little kuleanas that die
not yield a dollar a day. 1t was NJ
more than right, where a man had
little home, that he should have al
exemption of $500.
