trot, a mile in quicker time, or he
snav put Edwid Forrest on his
mettle to bea't aiiv time yet made.
A Herald reporter asked Mr. Bon-.,
iter whether, he thought tlie record
contained the tallest time that could
be made in a mile track?
“I do not think so,” replied Mr.
Bonner, emphatically, “for the rea
son- that I have timed Rarus triv-
. self In - 2-on a ihree-qnarter
track. I consider Rarus a faster
hoive than sit. Jnlieu, and I think
that nearly all experienced horse
men will tell you the Baffle thing.—
The record will possibly yet be
lowered to 2:06,2:07or 2:08.’ Some
horsemen think that two minutes
will be reached, but I hardly ex
pect that. Rarus, I am confident,
can trot a mile on a mile traek in
2:10 or better. I am limited on my
farm to a three-quarter track.
“When Rady Suffolk trotted in
2:20^, or Flora Temple in 2:19^,
it was thought that the record could
not be beaten. There was the same
opiniou about Dexters trotting in
2and I may say here that
there arc horsemen who think, bis
equal iias never been foaled.
“Eight or ten years ago, ho tr
over, tracks were not planned as
iovel as billiard tables, toe weights
were unknown, aucl instead of for
ty-eight and fifty pound sulkies,
they had sulkies weighing seventy-
live to eighty. Now the fastest
mile to wagpn was that made by
Edwin - Forrest in 2:15^, and al
though I paid $16,000 for him, he
wouldn’t have been worth $500
without toe weights. To-day I
wouldn’t take $50,000 for him, a9 I
consider him the greatest wagon
horso in the world. Maud S.
wouldn't probably have been worth
$■>00 without too weights cither.
When Mr. Vanderbilt bought her
he wouldn’t use them;*but Maud £.
couldn’t go faster than an ordinary
road horse without them, anil now
she trots with too weights.
“As to the lighter sulkies we
have to-day, we arc getting the
trotting record so near down to
running time that every pound tells.
Take two thoroughbred horses in
England, worth, for speed, 3,000 and
2,OtKJguineas respectively. Put twen
ty pounds more weight, on the for
mer thau bn tbs latter, and the 2,-
000-guinea horse will beat his higher
priced rival. As we have ten hor
ses to-day that can beat 2:20 for one
that could beat it before the intro
duction of ton weights. X believe we
shall have still greater improve
ments that will materially reduce
tha record.”
“From what stock is the finest
trotting performance likely to be
obtained?”
“We want a great infusion Gf
thoroughbred blood. That will
give more speed and endurance.
fullv-buUt man, stepped aroand to
“Chiefs” head, and Vasin the act of
turning hint around: when the
crowd heard him call the elephant
by name in a frightened tone, and
the next moment they saw the en
raged animal turn upon bis keeper
ajid crush him against the car.
King sank to the ground without
a groan, and the men who were
with him fled perclpUately. The
crowd scattered np Trade street,
and
tite wildest confusmjn
followed. The men were aft-aid to
approach the infuriated animal, and
King was allowed to remain several
minutes on the ground where he
had fallen. The elephant surveyed
the scene for an instant, gave a
short snori, and started at a brisk
pace up, the railroad track. As
soon as he was oat of reach
King was picked up, apparently
lifeless, and conveyed, across the
street to Ferry Morehead’s barber:
shop, where several doctors were
summoned.
In the meantime the elephant
kept on the track* and the report
getting abroad that he was loose in
the streets, the excitement- increas
ed. The crowd which first collect
ed about the crossing and the door
of the shop into which King had
been’ carried scattered op the street*
and all sorts of reports were afloat,
no one being able, on account of the
darkness, to determine the where
abouts of the elephant. It was sug
gested that party be organized to
start in pursuit with the view of
SHOOTING HIM,
but before any plans could be form-
hands that are chubby and white as

and the jewelry worn tells of her
modesty and good taste. She said
that she was not nor ever had been
her father’s favorite daughter, but
acknowledged that h$ thought a
good deal of her, and prefaced thi3
statement with another to the effect
that he loved all his children. She
spoke of her father’s property, and
told ho w he had left all his wives
and children substantial legacies.
She said.that by right they should
have received about $75,000 each, or
at least $60,000 apiee, but they had
reccivedjjonly $21,000 each. The ex
ecutors of her father’s estate bad
brought about this change iu the
will at a private meeting held dur
ing the late hour of the night, and
the great amount that should have
gone to them was taken away from
the real heirs and given to tb$
church. Seven of the heirs rebelled
against the way the

and entered suits which brought
them $10,000 each, on a compromise.

pump the chains became entangled,
and the three began to move round
and round, drawing them gradual
ly together. “Chiefs” temper was
again aroused, and he began to bel
low. The wild, weird noise threw
panic into the crowd, and there was
confosed retreat Finally, by^ the
vigorous use of goads • and pitch
forks, the three elephants were
made to take their respective places,
and the slow movement towards the
tents was continued. At last they
were gotteu there, and were secure
