The courting might proceed in the
garden or in the buggy, but in either
case the comet was observable. The
pair might lean against the iron
deer and chatter of love and the
mysteries of the heavens. They might
sit in the sidebar, let the mare find
her way to Long Pond and still sur
vey the comets field. Nowadays it is
fatal to drive a car and look for a
comet at the same time. But in 1882
there were no motor cars or screen
plays or electric lights or airships.
Therefore a comet got the attention
it deserved.

When Comets Were Useful.

Everybody has, 1t may be, pet
comet; so we can understand the
tone of honest jealousy in the sub
joined letter:
ITO THE NEW YORK HERALD: In
paragraph of your issue of June
II you say Halley's Comet was the
only one worth sitting up to see.
Let me state that the comet seen in
the eastern heavens in the summer
of 1881 was some sight to behold.
Perhaps some readers can remember
the name of this brilliant visitor.
"ALERED J. MEYER.
NEWARK, N. j., June IT,"
Our Newark friend is one of the
lucky persons who lived and observed
in the great season of comets. In
1880, 1881 and 1882 the heavens
burned gas extravagantly. In the
summer to which Mr.. MEYER refers
there were as many comets as rea-
soneble person could ask for. Among
others there was Encke's Comet,
pointed out by Professor WINNEcJlE
when 1t made its twenty-ninth
recorded appearance. Another comet
gave a grand performance in the
Middle West, shooting a red jet from
its tail as IL it's driver had retarded
its spark too much.
Comets, as all scientists know, are
remembered most vividly by per-
sons who were courting in the year
of the phenomenon. Therefore, we
think, the summer OF 1882 was
greater, from the gazer's standpoint,
than the preceding summers. For
1882 had a Great Comet 1t was 5000
times bigger than the sun and IL
could have rested one edge on Sol
and the other on the earth, very much
as Betelgeuse could do il the cosmic
laws permitted such performances.
Just as New Workers looked for
Winnecke's Comet on a recent after.
noon, the people of 1882 sought the
Great Comet by daylight. They
found 1t too, and it was not case
of mistaking a planet for the big
piece OF gas. In September, 1882,
the comet could be seen in bright
sunlight. II was enjoyed most at
night of course. and by the spoon
ers. Most of those happy young per-
sons are now about 60

Custer Fell Forty-6ve Years Ago.

On June 25, the forty-fifth anni-
versary of CUsTEB's last fight, mem
bers of the American Legion Of Wyo-
ming and Montana and 500 Indians
from Northwestern reservations will
reproduce on the historic battlefield
this memorable engagement between
five depleted companies of the
fighting Seventh Cavalry and 5000
Sioux, Cheyennes and Blackfeet. To
the United States in 1876, thrilled
and shocked by this sudden disaster
to its small army, the engagement
was the Custer massacre. But to-
day it is recognized as a battle, the
battle of the Little Big Horn, in
which the strongest nation of our
wild frontier, backed by friends and
allies. made it's last supreme effort
in the defence of what it considered
it's rights.
No Indian battle has given rise to
more controversies. Every white man
directly engaged was killed. The
red men alone were able to tell
in detail what actually happened.
The version of CURLEY the Crow, the
scout, one of the last men to see
CUSTER alive, was never wholly ac-
cepted. The accounts of Captain
BENTEEN and Captain GODFREY, both
of the Seventh, written with a con-
siderable degree of impartiality and
authoritativeness. we're in parts Ques-
toned. The bitterness of the con-
troversy around the part which Major
RENO had in the disaster has not
after forty-five years died out.
Besides, the battle was the great
tragedy in a general movement to-
ward the suppression of the hostile
activities of the rebellious Indians
in the Northwest, which called into
the field such distinguished Indian
fighters as ALFRED H. TERRY, GEORGE
CROOK, JOHN GIBBoN and ANsoN
MILLS, and such scouts as Sergeant
JIMMIE FLANAGAN, LOUIS RICHARD
and WILLIAM F. CoDY. All of these
entered in the controversy at one or
more of its phases. The red partici-
pants in the fight denied the charge
of the mutilation of the dead and
praised the bravery of CUSTER and
his men, but never gave a satisfac-
tory account of the battle. An old
Cheyenne. explaining how the white
soldiers were wiped out, placed small
pieces Of twigs carefully in the
ground, then, crushing them together
by swift motion of his hands, he
ground them to bits in his palms and
dropped them at his feet.
II is the Indian version of the bat.
tie which will guide in its anniver.
sary reproduction. CUSTER arrived
at the scene OF the battle on the
night OF June "a; he had intended
TO make his attack on June 20, but
what he saw and the conditions
which he found decided him TO
begin action on June 25. He ad-
yanced down a ridge toward the
water; a deep coulee lay directly in
front OF him. On each side of the
ridge was low ground covered with
bushes, affording hiding places for his
foe. The indians, quickly seizing
this advantage, swan the river, and,
concealing themselves along the
ridge, waited until CUSTER and his
command reached a knoll. Chief
GALL gave the signal, and the In.
dians arose on all sides. The main
fight, the Indians say, lasted not more
than twenty minutes. When the
smoke cleared away CUSTER and 211
of his men lay dead on the field.
But overwhelming as this defeat

Progress in Trotting Speed.

II DR.. BAILEY, the Maine horseman
who had standing offer to wager
$1,000 that no trotter would ever
take record Of two minutes, could
see the present day type with its
smoothness Of action and natural
speed he would have to bow to the
processes of evolution. Within three
quarters of century progress has
been made in breeding trotters which
rivals that Of the thoroughbred fam
lily with ESQ years Of selected blood
and racing tests behind it.
The latest example Of speed inheri-
tance at the trotting gait is the two
year-old colt King Etawah. which
took record early in May Of 2:16A.
This is the fastest time ever scored
by two-year-old thus early in the
season. King Etawah was bred by
DAVID LOOK of New York and Green
witch, Connecticut, on the famous
Castleton Farm near Lexington, Ken
lucky, where some of our best thor
oughbreds were foaled when it was
the property Of the late JAMES r.
KEENE. King Etawah was sired by
Etawah, 2:03, and his mother was
Princess Helen, double gated
daughter Of Beau Ideal, 2:15M,
which In turn was sired by Dare
Devil. 2:09, whose dam, Nettie King.
2:201s, also produced the one time
champion The Abbot. 2:03A.
Some idea of the speed King Eta
wah possesses may be gathered from
the fact that he has trotted the last
quarter Of mile in 301a seconds and
the last eighth In lax seconds
1859 gait, or one second faster than
the mark DR.. BAILEY was willing to
bet would never be reached. Great
things are being predicted for this
colt and for other Juvenile trotters
in this summers camnaign.
He comes by his speed naturally,
as Etawah was not only the purest
gated trotter Of his day but one of
the fastest horses the trotting turf
has known, while his dam, Princess
Helen, took pacing record Of 2:05%
and q trotting mark of 2:20%. That
the breed is becoming fixed in type
and speed may be confidently as.
serted. What intelligence in mating
will do is shown by the fact that
Princess Etawah, a full sister to the
newest sensation, took record Of
2:09A.
Four trotters have beaten the two
minute mark, the stallion Lee Ak
worthy, 1854, which took his record
at Lexington and died before he had
been given much of chance in the
stud; Uhlan, 1858; Lou Dillon.
1881, and Major Delmar, 1:59A.
Unfortunately for the future of the
trotting horse. Uhlan is gelding.
There are alive to-day at threescore
and ten men who believe that they
will live to see a three-year-old trot
in two minutes. The present mark
of 2:02N was scored in 1920 by Sis
ter Bertha, daughter of Dillon AK.
worthy, owned by A. B. COKE OF
Paoli, Pennsylvania. That the best
blood breeds on is shown in the fact
that her full sister, Miss Bertha Dill
Ion, holds the three-year-old race
record Of 2:O3A, as well as the four
year-old flly record, 2:02h.
The worlds record for a two-year-
old trotter is the 2:04H of The Real
Lady made in a race.
DR.. BAILEY under these circum.
stances would be forced to admit that
time has brought new powers to the
type of horse he loved 30 we'll.
