(NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTER8 AROUND TOWN.

we wlU be aa famoU8

Very few persons outside of those }lirectly interested have an idea of the Frank Vigo county is taking as the home [of fine stock, particularly in the PVav of blooded horses. A few years ago, comparatively, a blooded horse was year. Dishon has contracted for the bill unknown in this county, but at the pres«Mt rate of progress it will not be long

forourpedi-

"been noted for their fine stock. We have at present in this county three stock far inn: the Edgewood Stock Farm east of jtJie city near the fair grounds, owned by ftr. W. R. McKeen Warren Park Farm, £wned by Mr. W. P. IJams, and located just below the city, the third Walnut 5rove Farm, owned by Mr. Thos. L.

Durham, and located south of the city •on the Prairieton road. On these three farms are located trotting-bred stock representing the finest blood known to the breeders, of this day, and its introduction into this county can but result in raising the standard here, with all the £ood which that implies. Our people are not as familiar with horse pedigrees as those of the blue grass regions, where a man is not acknowledged as attained his majority until he can speak intelligently of every blooded animal in his own and adjoining counties, and trace the pedigree back to his great -great-great-great grand father and mother (or sire and dam as horsemen •will have it), to a«vy nothing of repeating from memory the number of relatives on both sides of the family that have beaten a mile in '2:30. But now that we are putting on airs as the finest stock raising county in Indiana, we will have to get familiar with those things.

Tbo station Mohican, owned Jay Edgewood Farm, and recently purchased in New York, has been used for breeding purposes but for a few years, and is already the sire of one animal with a record of 2:21 M, another with a record of 2:29Mi and still another that made a trial mile In 2:26, and a half in 1:11. He is the son of Itysdyk's Hambletonian, familiar to all breeders of fine stock as one of the most remarkable sires of trotting stock «ver known. He was himself the sire of forty animals that beat 2:30, and through his sons and daughters produced 467 horses that have made a record of 2:30 or better. "Blood will tell," and an animal with such a pedigree coming into Vigo county can but bring improvement —and who can predict how many "2:30 or better performers" will yet be owned In our midst. In an article like this it would be impossible to enumerate the list of blooded animals owned by a*

lar»e

an establishment as Edgewood, but among others with pedigrees almost as long as one's memory, are Melrose, whoso daughtor, Glenview Belle, sold as a weanling for $1,725 Laura, who Is the dam of Lizr.lo Wilkes with a record of 2:22% Lady Mac, with a record of 2:2&l4 Hyacinth, grand-dam of Princeton, record 2:23Vi, this mare's sire, Volunteer being also tho sire of the famous St. Julien. There is also along array of fillies and colts, but these fow will show the high standard of stock owned by the farm. _____

At Warren Park is Jersey Wilkes owned jointly by Mr. IJamsand Mr. W. H. McKeen), who is the son of George Wilkes, fifty-eight of whose sons and •daughters have beaten 2:80. George Wilkes had a record of 2:22 himself, won •over |fi0,000 in stake money alone, and is known as the greatest trotting stallion and sire of trotters the world ever saw. Jersey Wilkes has shown a trial mile in 2:34K, and as stated by his owners "only requires the asking to join the 2:30 class." He is but six years old, and with such a pedigree can not fail to make his mark. Among other notable horses Warren Park are Aurania, whose sire Egbert is also sire of the pacing mare Emma, record 2:0WV* Vandal la, son of Dictator, who sired Jay-Eye-See, Plinllas, and ether famous trotters Egbertte, brother to Westmont, tho p»cer, Miss Positive, Lottie Patchen, Park Maid, Belle McKeen, Lady Warren, Gladys (whose «olt sold for »1.«0 at public auction), and otheni, all of the finest breeding.

Grimalkin, the stallion recently purchased by Mr. Thos. L. Durham In Kentucky, is altogether different blood from Jersey Wilkes and Mohican. He is a son of Prlnceps, sire of Trinket, record 2:14, and other noted trotters. Mr. D. also owns Pat Jennings, otthe Lexington Gold Dust breed.

Theae few names and pedigrees will

give a faint idea of the blood lines represented here in Vigo county—the very best shown anywhere, establishing the fact that Terrs Haute will before long be as famous as a centre for fine blood stock as she is for everything else in the catalogue of worthy, intelligence and enterprise. We have one of the finest race courses in the country, a most enterprising trotting assaciatlon, and before we know It we will find ourselves

Rambler's article this week is jil6t a little more "horsey" than at first intended, but there is such a general interest in the blooded stock question that it will be interesting even to those who don't know a horse pedigree from a pump handle.

Cook A Bell have commenced tearing down tho buildings east of the Buckeye to put up their big drug house.

Indianapolis tAdn interested in horseflesh are trying to form a company to build a mile race track. Terre Haute now has the only mile track in the State and in the matter of horse breeding is also In the leadi. In truth the Interest taken In this regard by some of our well known citizens a fow years ago has aroused the whole State, and Indiana, before many years have gone by, will rival Kentucky in the amount of blooded stock owned throughout the country.

Some of the Republicans «\re awakening to the fact that the policy of the Democratic majority of the police board In permitting gambling to be conducted may have an effect in the city election. The elements benefitted by this policy could, If called upon, furnish considerable sinews of the campaign as recognition In part of the favor conferred. The election of a Republican mayor would change the political complexion of the police board and no doubt change the policy to one of enforcement of the law.

The first public parade of the Salvation Army on our streets was made last Saturday evening, and attracted much attention. About twenty-five men and women were in line, under command of Captain Thompson, assisted by Lieuten-

EVENING MATT.

Dr. Robert Vsn Valsah, of this city, read a paper on "AncIentCraft Masonry" at the Scottish Rite convocstion at Indianapolis this week. Among those in attendance from-Terre Haute were John W. Cruft, Chauncey Warren, Jacob C. Kolsem, C. T. Forristall, Geo. Likert, Geo. H. Prescott, James M. Sankey, W. E. Perryman, T. 8. McKinley, L. 8. Briggs and C. M. Daggett.

The father, though at first greatly depressed at his son's marriage at this time, when the education he had planned was not completed, will place sufficient funds in the young man's hands to put the western house on a good footing, and it will be the fault of young Hulman if he is not successful in business.

other day, it seems as though she were dead to them.
