Remembers Flora Temple.

Spectators at the United shoo machinery trial yesterday in the limited States district court enjoyed the repartee between Judge- Putnam and Frederic P. Fish of counsel for the defense, says a Philadelphia paper. Attorney Fish was arguing on the patent question involved in. the anti-trust suit against the United company. aadAfi ft, means of illustrating a point remarked: “You can put a race horse in a plow and you can put a plow horse in'a race.” Here Judge Putnam interrupted to say? “Flora Temple was a plow horse.” “Yes,” responded Attorney Fish, “but she soon got out of it I remember seeing her in a box car at Taunton.” ‘*Why, I didn’t think yon were that old,”, replied Judge Putnam. “Oh, Lord,” replied Attorney .Fisli, “you don’t know what an old fellow I am. I remember Flora Temple well, and I know what her time was, too. It was 2:27.” By this time the whole courtroom full of lawyers and spectators was in roars of laughter, and Judges Dodge and Brown, sitting with Judge Putnam, joined in the merriment.
