HORSE NOTES.
The premium list for the fair is out. A. C. Gambrel has commenced to work the bay mare, Queen, out once or twice a a week.
Dick Wilson won a race and tflflO with Emma, at Fostoria, Ohio, yesterday. Time, 2.24, on a wet track. Dick won the 1st, 4th and 5th heats. Emma was selling even against the field all the time.
James Keenan, of Boston, the original backer of John L. Sullivan, one of the most prominent sporting men in the country, died at his home in Boston on Monday last.
Dick Wilson went to Ohio Friday last to drive Emma in the races on that daj, but Dick's luck followed him, it rained so much that the races were declared off.
John Tindal finds it impossible to send his black stallion to Cambridge. People are coming in and booking their mares. John is trying to accomodate his friends, and his brother W. E. Tindall is driving Frank on the road.
Tenny's winning the Volunteer Handicap was a good thing for at least two persons. His owner, Mr. Pulsifer, pleaded guilty to about $18,000, while a reporter actually had the confidenc« in the colt's ability to invest $10 last winter at the odds of 100 to 1. When he collects it is to hoped that he will not start a sporting paper. At toist it will be a '-white" one if he does.
The race for the grand Prix de Paris was run at Paris, France, on Sunday last, and was won by the bay colt Vasistas, by one length. The purse was for $20,000, half given by the city of Pans and half by the five great railway companies for colts and fillies foaled in 1886 of every descripand country. The gate receipts amounted to $40,000.
The death of General W. T. Withers on June 16, removes one of the most famous of American breeders of the trotter. He was the owner of Almont, American Clay, Happy Medium, Administrator and Aberdeen, among the most noted stallions in the country. From "Fairlawn," by which name General Withers' stock farm was known, have gone out thousands of splendid trotters and road horses. In the business the General amassed a comfortable fortune. He died from the effects of a wound received in the Mexican war. His death is a serious loss to the community, and must effect the trotting-horse interests.

Among the many virtues or the Morgan tribe of horses is their wonderful longevity and vitality, two prominent instances of which occur to our mind. A mare at Fairfield Ind., thirty-two years old brought and raised a foal last season. The mare was foaled in 1856, got by Young Green Mountain Morgan, by Giffordsou of Woodbury, by the original Justin Morgan. Gauze, a mare we saw at the farm of L. L. & R. O. Dorsey, Middletown, Ky., was foaled in 1857, and will drop a foal next month to Orapoloo, (brother of Estelle 2:26.) She produced sound, living foals, .by Zilcaadi Golddnst in 1886and 1887, and missed in 1888. Hornsby Bros., Eminence -Ky., also have two mares, same age of
Gauze and by the same stallion, that are regular breeders.—Winchester Journal.
Spokane, the Kentucy Derby winner, is a dark chestnut colt, 16 hands, by Hyder Ali, dam Interpose, and is the property of Noah Armstrong of Helena, Montana. '-His appearance is that of an ideal tlior'oughbred race horse, and from his performance it is evident that his beauty is •more than skin deep. A small, lean head, •with a tapering, finely pointed muzzle, a light jaw and large luminous eyes are the 'most admirable features of the frontpiece, which is adorned by a white star in the middle of his forehead and a stripe that extends not quite to his nose. He has a tapering, blood like neck, magnificent shoulders, a deep chest and absolutely perfect legs, a back of moderate length, a rather light barrel, and stands upon four flinty hoofs, that are, so far as his work has shown, without blemish. His quarters
are of the racing pattern, and a pair of clean and well muscled "cat hams" make up the entirety of his personal appearance save the white stockings that ornament his hind legs clean up to the hock. Spokane was got in Illinois, foaled in Montana and trained in Tennessee.
HIGH LICKNSE PKOGKKSS.
It Is (living .Satisfaction, While Prohibition Is Unsatisfactory.
Ernest IT. Crosby, ill Public Opinion.
The recent progress of high license augurs well for its future. The annual fee for the general stile of intoxicating liquors is $500 or more in eight States viz: Arkansas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Pennsylvania, and in three territories, which are about to become States, viz: Dakota, Montana and Washington. Nebraska adopted the system in 1881: Arkansas, Illinois and Missouri in 1883 A assachusetts in 1888, and the other six commonwealths iu 1887. Before 1881 a fee of $500 or more was unknown. In 1888 New Jersey also made a marked increase in the sale of its license fees, and in 1887 the excommissioners of the city of New York raised the amount materially under the existing law. All these changes have given satisfaction to temperance people. Only in Nebraska and Pennsylvania is a further change to prohibtion thought of, and in the latter it will doubtless be defeated. The rapid advance of the principle of high license, as shown by this resume, certainly gives promise of its general acceptance. Prohibition has no such record. It was first tried in Maine, in 1851, and, with the exception of the year 1856 and 1857, has prevailed there ever since. Vermont has been a prohibition State since 1852, and New Hampshire passed a prohibition law in 1855. Tfce experience of these States evidently failed to encourage others to follow in their footsteps. From 1855 to 1880 no State adopted a prohibition law and preserved it unrepealeJ. In 1880 Kansas placed prohibition in its constitution. Iowa enacted a prohibitory statute in 1884. Rhode Island in 1886 voted constitutional prohibition, but so unsatisfactory has the result been that the Legislature resolved to submit the question again to the electors. In April last the people of Massachusetts rejected a similar amendment by a majority of over 44,000. Pennsylvania is about to cast its vote on the question, and the overwhelming defeat of prohibition is expected. It is not to be noted that both Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have within twro years put high license into operation.
The State of New York affords a fair example of the respective strength of prohibition and high license in a community having a large urban population. The Prohibition party has been working hard here for six or eight years, and yet, in 1887, it polled only 41,855 votes, and iu 1888 there was a large falling off. High license was not seriously pushed until 1887, The Republican party became at OUCJ committed to it, and in the election of 1888 it was the State issue. The result was that high license, in the person of Mr. Warner Miller, received 631,293 votes, and the Democratic candidate received only 19,171 more. The Prohibition vote for Governor was only 30,215, or 2.29 per centum of the entire vote cast.
As long as whiskey remains in the land and is sold, let the license be high. The present generation should be educated as to the evils of intemperance and the rum traffic, and in that way the next generation would witness few drunkards.

The law prohibiting the sale of tobacco to children is now in force. It makes it unlawful "for any person to give, barter or sell, directly or indirectly, to any child or children under sixteen years of age, any tobacco, cigars or cigarettes, to be chewed or smoked by said child or children," or to any other person with the knowledge that it is to be so used. The penalty is a fine of not less than one nor more than ten dollars. Any boy under 16 who uses tobacco, obtains it unlawfully, and the person from whom he got it, no matter how, is liable to be fined. Let the law be enforced.

The Chief Reason for the great success of Hood's Sarsaparilla is found in the article itself. It is merit that wins, and the fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla actually accomplishes what is claimed for it, is what has given to this medicine a popularity and sale greater than that of any other sarsapa-IWlAfi-f XA/ine
