Xj:-Yoek, Od. 2C SpccUtl Kobcr
Itnawr.'ifc" owr.cr oi Sunol and 3Inud S.,
tuafces the following very important state
ment regarding trotters snd rccoi-ds:
IVc hear a great deal said about the two
minute trotter. T do not expect to ever -cc
any horse trot a uiilc in two minutes. My
Eood lriend General Tracy. Secretary of the
Xsvy, ray, if he is correctly reported, that
lie expects that within two Tears the two
raimitc trotter will have arrived. J cannot
ngrrc with him, and as pruoHhat X have the
vnrage of my convictions T wiilgivj ?.",000
to see auv hoisc within tno years trot a
mile in two minuses five teoonds on a regu
lation track. Mich as Cleveland, where
"Maud K trotted, or any other regulation
track. Mich as 'he Buffalo, Kochester or
Hartford.
nn. kkkk's claim.
The late Dr. Ilerr, of Kentucky, claimed
that horse would eventually trot as fast as
ever they could in their and 4 year old
form, jutt as runners can run as fast as they
can run in their 3 and 4 year old form.
I'roni the great development that has been
made in increasing speed of young colts, it
would appear that Dr. Hcrrwas measurably
trrect in his theory.
Governor Stanford has accomplished more
ihan any other man in the country in this
direction. The idea originated with him of
begiunins to develop colts when only ("
months old He has been ably assisted in
carrying out this theory by Charles Marvin,
one of the mot competent and faithful
trainers in the country lint 1 do not cv
vrrt. havimr sonic faith in Dr Herr's- theory,
tiiat all these young thin;; will turn out to
lie world bcateib. J h.ie great confidence
:ts Charles Marvin- abilitv to carrv out
Oorernor Manlcm!'1. theory of dc eloping
young coll. He has been cry indii'-tri-H..
In hi book on "Training the Trotting
Horse" lie incidental! v mentions one secret
of hi great success. He say:,:
MOir. n.Aix TIUTIIK.
"Attention to details is the cent thing
in training as in all other branches of
rronran -ndcavor. The man who gets in the
sulky when the hore i ready to work,
drives him his mile and repeat, and leaes
all the ret to the rubbers to do, if they will
jind as they will, may kic s'u cay and
plcassnt time in this life, but he won't
urak many records."
That is as true as the cospel.
SiunoL besides trotting in 2:!I8'4 on a kite
riajed track, has made some other perform
ances that no other trotter has equalled. In
her 3-year old form she made a record of
l:in on a regulation track. I donotexpect
to live Ion:: enough to sec that performance
li-aien by a .""-year-old on a similar track.
A a .Vyejr-old she trotted half a mile on a
regulation track in litK'j, mcthing that
im other 4-vear-old has ever approached,
lu her 5-year-old form, besides making the
lastcst record ever made on any kind
" a track, she has trotted a quarter of a
n.';e in 2P'. seconds on a regulation track.
other honc of any age has trotted as
fast as iliau It is true I do not consider
lier ifiR'A en a kite-s-haped track enual to
"Maud ", :Oh". on a regulation track, but
it must li.; rcniemb-rcd that she is onlv 5

The way 1 cinie to purchase Sunol was
this: A friend of mine, Peter C. Kellogg,
who is known everywhere as one ot the
"best judges of trotting horses in the conn
trv, saw Marvin drive Sunol in California
when she wa "" j ears old. He wrote to
van nbout her. advising that I purchase her.
believd that she was the coming world
!oaier. I received a letter from him tr-day
n u 'licit h- sajs: "I ujoice that you
!Ui:m S'inol," and adds. ei. IiC is ttill
vminr, and if form and blood count for
anything now that she has reached the fall
i her .-y car-old year, I ant icip.it e that she
will still add proof that "-he is the fastest
trotter in ihe world."
As to the future development of the trotter
I think Governor Stanford is workinc in the
right direction bv jretting a greater infusion
of thoroughbred blood tcTincrcase the action
and endurance of the cold-blooded trotting
horse. I think the future will demonstrate,
as his great and unexampled success in the
past has demonstrated, that his theory is
correct JIobekt Hosxr.iL

SAM 3I0RT0N IN TOWN.
The Chicago Association Magnate Comes
to Try to Captnro Gumbort The Deal
Is Nnl Made, bnt Morton Is Qnito
liopefnl and Happy.
Sam Morton, one of the best looking fel
lows in the base ball business, dropped into
the city yesterday to see how we were get
ting along. Sam soon found T113 Dis
rATCir office, and he said it was his first
trip in town. "What his mission was caused
many conjectures but in case some people
may think he was here to try and
sign Galvin, Hanlon or bny Mr.
O'Kcil's stock, as in all other
cases Thk Dispatch will state exactly
what Mr. Morten was here for. Mr. Mor
ton said to the writer:
"I have come here to try and sign Ad
Gumbcrt 1 have met him and wc could
not come to terms and so far matters be
tween us are ended. I did not expect to
meet any rittsburg players that I wanted
for our Chicago club, but we will have a
first-class team.
Mr. Morton went on to say that Hart had
been signed to pitch for the new Chicago
team, and that other good men will be
signed before the week is out. Mr. Morton
spoke well of Ucrgcr, but Chicago, said Mr.
Morton, wants prominent men. IJersrer
may be signed by the Chicago Association
club.
Mr. Morton's visit to this city means, or
at lexst proves one thing, viz., he wil be
the real inanacer of the Chicago Association
team, if ever there is one. He oughtto be,
because he is as far superior to any of his
rivals as a pineapple is above a pumpkin.
Morton is frank and has ability. He
states onenlv what he wants to do and has
'the brains to carry out his plans under
favorable circutnstsncees. lie llatly stated
yesterday that he did not come here to try
and get ihe city, but all that he wanted was
Ad Gumbert
The writer saw Gumbert, and the latter
had nothing to .say. Ad may or may not
join the uncertain" forces of the Association,
but whether he does or not the League will
still go on, including Anson's team.
At this juncture players should not begin
to overestimate their worth, and many of
them aie doing that. A collapse will come
and let them beware. Sam Morton stated
last eveniug that he is willing to give Gum
bert ?.",000 for next season. That means
that Ad is not prepared to do business for a
trillc like that. Let players be thoughtful,
the goose that lays the golden eggs may be
killed.
IJeckley is expected to land in thi: city to
day, and he will, in all probability', sign a
local contract. .lake is a wiu man He has
been well dealt with here, and will be just
as well treated next year. His money is
sure. All that remains now of the local
cud of it is to have Baldwin, Hanlon and
Galvin signed. The last named, who is the
easiest man on earth to sign, will sign his
name the moment a little difference between
him and the club is settled.
Of course there are ghosts walking about
relative to an Association club being planted
here. There will never be anything more
than ghosts.
THE WHEEL CONTEST.

Xaw YoitK, Oct. 2C Special The
great six day bicycle race was a great suc
cess. The exact result of the race finaneially
had not been determined last night, although
the Garden Company's accountant, James
D. Young, the representative of the men,
Mr. Lafferty, and 3Ianager Tom Eck had all
been at work counting tickets, cheeking off
bills, etc , during the day. They had just
finished a tabulated record of the daily at
tendance when a reporter or the Recorder
called at the Garden. Manager Eck gave
the figures for publication. They are as
follows:
raid
Date . admissions.
Sundav nicht, October IS 2,350
Monday, October 19 2,S
Tuesdav, October20 4,030
Wednesday. Octobe,-21 i,700
Thursdav, October 22 ,r,lft
Friday, Octobers! 10,505
Saturday, October24 8.800
Total 39.2S3
At an average price of 50 cents these ad-mi-sions
would represent ?I!,Ct0 50. The
admission Saturday was one dollar each, so
that that amount Is swelled 4,400, and the
total" is 21,040 .W. There is also in the
Trtasury about 1,000, which was paid for
ticke's not presented at the door, so that
the aggregate receipts were a trifle more
th:in $2.",000.
1 ha expense account had not been fully
ni:.d up last night, but it will be about
?!).OJ0, so that the net proceeds will be about
no.000. Of that sum the Garden Company
takes half, so that there will be ?8,000 df
vided among the riders and Munagcr Eck,
the latter's share being 2," per cent. Thus
the riders divide $ti,000 net. The amounts
they will probably receive follows:
Xame. Percentage Amount.
Martin .35 $2,100
Ashingcr .23 i,.uo
Lamb 12 730
Snock 10 UK)
Albert 8 480
Boyst 0 300
That leaves the seventh prize of 4 pur
cent to be divided pro rata among the men,
so that each will have 540 added to the
amounts named above.
AVhilojthe prizes named are small in com
parison with those won by six-day pedes
trians, there are good reasons for "their be
ing so.
In the pedestrian competitions the own
ers of catchpenny devices paid in tho ag
gregate almost enough to pay all expenses
of the match, so that about three-quarters
admission money was divided among the
prize winners. The rcstil of the Garden,
too, was much less than under the conditions
of the recent contest.
Arranged Their Schrdnle.

NEWS! NOTES FROM NEAEBI TOWNS
tSI'ECIAL TELEGItAM TO THE DISFATCII.
New Castle, Oct 26. Becent events
would indicate that New Castle is not a
good place for a fugitive from justice. In
the past two months Mayor Brown, assisted
by Detective S. B. Marshall, has arrested
and sent to the penitentiary John Wilson
and Charles Gray, convicted of burglary in
Butler County, and Jack Kennedy, alias
John Conner, jail breaker and burglar from
Titusville. Only last week notorious Tom
Powell, jail breaker, was arrested here and
sent back to McKeau county, and thismorn
ing another important arrest was made.
Last August the Wells-Fargo Express
Company office at Mohawk, Tlumas county,
CaL, was robbed of several thousand dollars
in money and a gold brick. Suspicion at
once fell on a man named William Mattson,
who left Mohawk soon after the robbery.
He went to Denver where he sold a gold
brick for 5900. From there a special agent
of the express company traced him to Pitts
burgh where he was lost.
About four weeks ago Mattson married a
young girl named Miller, whose home is at
Franklin, but who was living in Warren,
O., at the time the wedding took place.
The case was put in Mayor Brown's hands
ten days ago. Through relatives of the
girl it was learned that" Mattson, under the
name of Maddison, was living in this city.
He was arrested this morning in his finely
furnished house and lodged iu jail awaiting
a requisition.
He said to The Dispatch correspondent
that he was in California at the time this
roobcry was committed and also admitted
being in Denver, but denied ever having
been in Mohawk. His wife, however, who
was afterward seen, said, without knowing
how important was her admission, that
"William worked in Mohawk for some time.
The special agent of the company, who is
here, says there is no mistake. This is the
man he wanted.
A TJZMFOBABY VICT0ET TOE LAE0E.
New Castle Furnncemcn Granted Increased
Wages for This Month Only.
Nfav Castle, Oct. 2G. Special The
fnrnaccmen of this city have made a de
mand for higher wages, asking an advance
of 10 cents a day for labor aud 15 cents for
turn men. This meant a restoration of the
old rate of wages before the reduction early
in 1890. Committees were appointed to
wait upon the managers of the furnaces.
The managers held a conference with the
men's committee and tried to explain how
with iron at present prices they could not
pay any higher wages than they are at pres
ent. The committee reported to the men,
and the latter decided to give the managers
until this morning to come to their terms.
Early this morning the furnace managers
decided rather than pay the advance tlicy
would close down the furnaces. Orders
were given to coke the furnaces, but the
men of the Bosina refused to do the work,
and, rather than permit the furnaces to chill
with a great loss, the owners decided to
grant the advance. To-day the men wens
back to work and the other furnaces decided
to also grant the advance. All furnaces are
now running, but the owners say they will
blow them out at the end of the mouth

"What is your idea of heaven?"
"A place where everybody is as good
as me." This is probably as good a
definition as any but when it comes
to the question of are you perfectly
healthy? Do you enjoy the good
things of this world ? Docs a rich
dinner distress you?" Are you a
hypochondriac? Are you troubled
with sleeplessness ?
A prominent physician from Cin
cinnati writes :
''My patient has just finished the
last bottle of the genuine Johann
HofFs Malt Extract with marked im
provement. I can cheerfully say, it
is all and more than you claim for it,
for in my patient's case of dyspepsia
nothing would lemain on her stomach;
hence there was extreme debility, and
she certainly could not have survived
much longer.
After taking the second bottle we
could see quite an improvement. Her
appetite became better, and she"c3iild
retain food without distressing her.
She feels for the first time in six
months that she Ins been in bed
that she will recover. It has cer
tainly proved in her case a great
boon. I can cheerfully indorse the
genuine Johann HofFs Malt Extract
for all you claim, both in dyspepsia,
anxmia, and kindred diseases. I will
take great pleasure in recommending
it to other practitioners and to my
patients." Eisner & Mendelson Co.,
Sole Agents, 6 Barclay St., New
York. Look out for counterfeits.
The genuine must have the signature
of "Johann Hoff" on the neck of
every bottle.
T WRS THE MATTER?
IJc::il? and See Tor Younell
A popular society lady fainted at one of
her receptions. What was the matter"! The
answer is only too plain. Women have delt
cato and high-strung nerves, and the many
duties of life are too much strain and ten
sion. Tho result isatflrst nervousness, then
tired, languid feelings, finally ending In
sleeplessness, utter weakness, shattered
nerves and nervous prostration.
Beware! of the first symptoms. If yon be
come nervous, have palpitation, strange
faint feelings, sinking at pit of stomach,
weak and tired feelings, malaria, constipa

"Dr. Greene's Nervnra Is a wonderful rem
edy for nervous prostration, and those terri
ble tired, weak feelings that make life a bur
den, almost too great to bear. I feel that I
cannot say enough in its praiso for what it
has done for me. It gives one tho most rest
ful sleep, and In fact does all and more than
all it claims to do. I wish every poor, tired
woman on the face of the earth could be in

understand its value, and life would not
seem so weatisome and undesirable.
