LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Another Letter From “Breeder.”

Sin,--There are portions of ‘Fair Play's” rather flippant letter of the 19th May, which I think it but fair to your readers to take notice of, though I had de- eided to avoid all controversy with him,as he is {a writer so given to personalities as to make any reply extremely unpleasant. [ct is well, also, sometimes to dissect such communications, though the operation may not be a delectable one.

His answer to the editorial article, taken by me from The American Trotter, one of the best—though possibly one of the youngest tretting papers published in America—is perhaps as characteristic of the man a8 anything his letter contains. I take it first. He calls it .‘‘an editorial puff of developed stallions” in a paper costing only $2.00, “the ipse dixit of some unknown person.” Cool, verily! from a writer at least equally unknown. There is this difference however between the writing‘of these two unknowns; one rep- resents the advanced thought of American | horsemen, as expressed in the editorial columus of @ responsible paper, written for thousand of intelligent readers, many hun- dreds of whom—honvst, earnest, thinking men, write in terms of marked approval of its management ; the other, the opinions of one, who, unable to appreciate the ability required to edit such a paper, answers its; articles only with asneer. Your readers will require no further comment from me on such an answer.

He next takes in hand the two breeders of prominence, whose opinions and practice I gave as worthy of at least respectful con- sideration, His answer, so far as one of them, Mr. Hobart is cuncerned, is, that that gentleman made a mistake in breediag to Trinket, 2.14; he would have done better if he had bred to her undeveloped sister, Easel, and bases this opinion on his knowledge of several of Princeps daugh- ters. It isnotunlikely that Mr. Hobart knew .vén more correctly than ‘* Pair Play,” concerning his own brood mares. He however preferred breeding as he did, in developed lines, and if ‘* Pir Play” is at all correct, he didit under circumstances which iwake his determination, so to do, a atill more remarkable illustration of the the tendency of the age, ** doveluped breed- ing.” It is diflicult to speak of “ Fair Piay’s” treatment of Mr. Williams in cour- teous language. I quoted from that gen- tleman’s writings over lis own signature— a justly respected one-—written but a few weeks ago, He quotes in answer Mr. Wil- liams’ statement of ** his tirst experience in developing the trotter,” written over a year ago, and h«ving no reference wliatever to the question vf developed b'ood. But he has the indecency to add, ‘* Mr. C. W. Williams will not new probably condemn breeding to a sire with a record; he lias two of them himself, Allerton, 2.134, and Bernhart, 2 223. It is his interest to boom these particwar staliions fer obvious rea- sons.” Such a comment is discreditable in the extreme. It would have been refused publication in any paper in America, and stamps ‘‘ Fair Play” as a writer devoid of all sense of honor. J find Mr. Williams’ opinions valued as those of one of the best informed horsemen of the day, and his

' wnanimous election at the Chicago conven-

tion a few days ago as one of the Directors of the new ‘* American Trotting Register Association,” the Compasy purchasing Wallace’s Trotting Register, shows how his eharacter and ability are appreciated by the most representative gathering of American breeders ever assembled together. No lan- guage of mine can express the contempt al] \honest horsemen will have to such an answer tc such a man.

There is but oue other matter in ‘* Fair Play's” letter which I will referto. It is wherein he seeks to decry Axtell and his get. I can hardly understand ita object. Surely aatallion standing with the highest service fee in the world, with a record him. self of 2 12, dues not merit such a writer's wrath because he happensto have that recore ! ‘** Breeder,’ ” he says, ** no doubt imegines that young stock sired by Axtell out of performing dams would bring the top prices.’ He is right for once in his life. ‘* Breeder” does so imagine, and has no doubt whatever on the subjact, and ** Fair Play” would have none if, instead of reading auctioneer’s puffs—-which he actually quotes at length, he sought for reliable information where it might be obtained.

‘True, there were two Axtell yearling fillies offered for sale lately at the Laming- ington combination aale. One did sell for $900, but simply because it was not well bred onthe dam's side—firet dam by a son of Maxie Cobb, 2.134. This is not what is usually called ‘a performing?dam;"and that ily was well sold at $900. The other filly, however, was the result of developed breeding—dam Gladys, 2.20), by Meshon, 9 2i—but was withdrawn from the sale be- cause of an injured leg. The owner, how- ever, refused for her only $6,500.

For ‘Fair Play's” information I will also tell him that Mr. C. W. Williams refused $7,500 foran Axtel yearling; and that for another Axtel yearling owned in Minnesota, $8,000 was refused, and is now held at

10,000. :

. I will also refer him to Mr. R. S. Veeeh,— the only horseman as yet whom he appears to recognize as an authority. That gentle man bred in one season uo less than 20 mares to Axtell, notwithstanding the high service fee, and has sixteen living foals as the result.

If Fair Play” makes due enquiry he will probably find out that Mr. Veech has so bred these colts and fillies that they will be worth more than their service fee. What a horse Axtell is to come under "Bair Play's” condemnation | !—born in 1886, wade his record in 1889, afterwards sold for $105,000; and one of his owners said the other day of him, “if he lives until July neat he will have earned for us ail the money we paid for him.”

Perhaps some of your readers can under- stand such writing; I cannot, and so leave

Let Miss Greenwood, of Brooklyn, an- swer with her record as superintendent of evangelistic work in the National W. C. T. UC. and her list of over seven hundred women preachers and evangelists. Let the Catholic Katherine Drexel speak, who on February 12th consecrated herself by solemn vows to the exclusive eervice of the Indian and Negro, devoting her fortune of seven million dollars to their religious, in- tellectual and social elevation, as true a priestess as walks this earth is such a woman in this mammon-loving age.

What have women been doing with their time? Let Dr. Emily Blackwell, of New York city, speak for women in medicine. ‘The first diploma given to a woman was that of Elizabeth Blackwell, Geneva(N.Y.) Medical College, 1849." The census of 1880 gives 2,400, that of 1890 will probably double the number. There are 150 in China, and there must b2 as many more in Hindoostan.” ‘

Consider the fact that more than eighty- two per cent, of all our public school teach- era are women, that over two hundred colleges have now over four thousand women students,

Contemplate the Women's Foreign and Home Missionary Societies, relative to which an expert tells us that the first was “organized about a quirter of a century ago, and now most of the denominations have both associations, with a contributing membership of ebout one and one-half mil- lions. They circulate about one hundred and seventy-five thousand copies of mission- ary papers, besides millions of pages of leaflets. They hold at least a half miilion missionary meetings every year, presided over by women, the addresses made and papers read by the sisterhood, that, forty years ago, would no sooner have thought of doing such a work than they would have of taking a journey to the moon. They raise and distribute about two mil- lions of money every year, and their sev- eral boards scan each little investment with as much care as if a fortune were to be made in discovering an error in the ac- counts.

Marshal in blessed array the King’s Daughters, two hundred thousand strong, with their hallowed motto, ‘In His Name”; the Society of Christian Endeavor, with its immense contingent of women; reflect that a woman spoke before the Catholic Total Abstinence Society, at its late meeting, in the presence of distinguished prelates of that Church, which, while beyond most others utilizing the money, devotion and work of women, is most conservative of all when their public efforts are concerned. Statistics give 5,500,000 women as the number who earn their own living by in- dustrial pursuits in Germany, 4,000,009 in England, 3,760,000 in France, about the same number in Austro-Hungary, and in America over 2,700,000.

This much I can give of my own knowledge in the way of detailed statement concerning women's work. ‘The Women’s Temperancs Publishing Association, Chicago, with its annual issue of from one hundred and tweaty to one hundred aud trenty-tive million pages, an institution in which women own ail the stock, constitute the board of directors, do all the editing, and « woman, Mrs. F. H. Rastall, is the business manager, liandled last year over two hundred thousand dollars, Women are erecting a temple to cost $',600,- 000, not for show and not for glory, but to afford by its rentals the wherewithal to carry on their work of philanthopy and reforw throughout the nation. ee

Women have also, and notably within the, last three years, secured laws for the better | protection of their own sex, have imme: sat ably increased the property rights of maried women and their rights to their children under the law have obtained appropriations for reformatories for women aud homes ter those morally degraded.

Women are now on the couatry and city school boards of Chicago, they are sani ary inspectors in that muncipality, they are pouice matrons in nearly ali oar iarge cities, aod even London ig moving in the same directiou

Surely time has been blessed!y invested by all these shining ranks of ** women at work’ for God and humanity.—Extracte from Miss Willard’s address to the Women’s Nationat Council at its first triepnial meeting.
