Dexter, 1115121 of Trotters.
Dexter, Speaking of the. great trotting horse,
who died recently, Robert Bon¬
ner, his owner, said that of course the
achievements of Dexter did not seem so
Teniarkable compared with those of the
trotters of the present day, but it should
be remembered t hat great improvements
have been made in all the paraphernalia
o: the trotting track. There were no
light sulkies in Dexter’s day, and not so
much was known of the science of trot¬

better blood.
Dexter was foaled in 1858. He was
got by Hambletonian out of a little black
mare by American Star, a d she was out
of Shark’s dam. Dexter was a brown

and a blaze in his face. was
fifteen hands and one inch high, loDg
for his inches, deep through the heart
and very powerful in his loins and quar¬
ters. His head, neck and eyes were
good, and he had capital -oblique
shoulders, and good legs and feet. He
was bred by Jonathan Hawkins, of
Montgomery, Orange County, New
York.
In June of 1862 the late George Alley,
then a leading New York merchant and
a rare judge of korsel'esh, went up to
Orange County to have a look at Dex¬
ter, of whom he had heard good reports.
The colt had not been broken at that
time. His action, however, fascinated
Mr. Alley, who bought him for §400 and
had him sent down to New Rochelle.

A week afterward he trotted a mile in
harness in 2:iilJ. This was a prodigious
performance for so young a horse, and
as he trotted the last halves of these
miles as fast as the first he was set down
as a horse possessed of unlimited endur¬
ance.
When Dexter made his great record of
2:17} at Buffalo Park the track was 27
feet 8 inches over a mile. He did a

Sierra Snow Shoes.
Of course I kept my traps and “dead¬
falls” set all the time, visiting them
whenever the weather permitted, and a
rich harvest of fine skins I secured that
winter. In moving about on the snow I
used snow-shoes as a matter of course.
Not the broad, clumsy “oxbows”—as we
used to call them—that the Canadians
wear, made but long, slender,Norwegian shoes
of a thin piece of yellow pine or
spruce, about seven feet long and four
inches wide, turned up at the toe like a
skate, and having “leathers” fastened in
the center which laced over the foot se¬
curing it to the snow-shoe. The soles
of these “runners”—as they were called
—were always with smoothly polished and
then rubbed “dope,” a greasy com¬
pound, to keep the snow from sticking
to them, and aiso to make them slip eas¬
ily Along. I had practiced a great deal
on my shoes, and being very supple and
strong in those days I wasn’t afraid to
travel anywhere, or race with any one
in that region. I had invented, too, a
kind of dope I called “lightning,” be¬
cause when I gave my favorite pair of
shoes a good coat of it they were not
merely “runners,” they were “flyers”

Tiie Best Celery in the World.
“Where is the best celery raised?” re¬
marked a Washington Market man the
other day to a New York Mail and Ex
pre:!., reporter. “In Ivakmazoo. It is
not yet certain why it is so, but it lias
been definitely determined by experience
that no celery is raised that is as good as
the celery of Kalamazoo. It brings a
better price in the market than other
celery, and moreover a vast quantity of it
is raised there. Over 3000 acres of swamp
land are said to have been ‘reclaimed’
and devoted to the culture of this tooth¬
some esculent alone. The business is a
lucrative one, and numerous Kalamazoo
aus have grown rich at it. It is in fact
/ cording the leading industry of the place, ac¬
to the statement* of the West¬
ern papers.” — -
