One need not be an old man to remember the horses in commou use before the war. ‘They were small in ‘size, deficient in quality, coarse-boned, and lecking in every respect the qualities ine-essary for bard work or for light services as carriage horses The war was the first stimulant toward improving the breed, and alter it came the trausfer 2 ; ; of thoroughbred racing from the South LSO, a full line of Prang’s Satin and'tg the North. But nothing gave a Plush Cards and other Christmas Nov-| . . greater impetus to the breeding of good horses than the price Mr. Bonner paid for Dexter, the same gentlemau’s driving of his team Lady Palmer and Flatbush Maid and other horses having previously shown that fast driving on the road could be iadulged in without disrepute. The practice of that exercise and luxury may be said to have made the trotting horse of America, and to have added millions to the wealth of the country, as shown by the prices Mr. Bonner, Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Work, avd hundreds of other gentlemen, east and west, have paid aod are willing to pay for fast teams and road horses. Of the improve- ment in the breed of horses during the last twenty years, Maud S. is a living exponent. To the eye she is a well- made and evenly balanced chestnut mare, with legs that scarcely show a blemish, in spite of all the work she has done—work that would have killed an ordinary horse, and that is yet absolutely necessary to keep her in a condition to CHRISTMAS SEASON, 1888, Prang’s Celebrated PRIZH XMAS UARDS, elties. ‘THE BOSTON CARD is the name of the Most Popular Card for this season.

WARREN LELAND, whom everybody knows as the successful manager of the Largest Hotel Enterprises of America, says that while a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Cape Horn, in the early days of emigraticn to Cal- ifornia, he learned that one of the officers of the vessel had cured himself, during the voy- age, of an obstinate disease by the use of show the worderful and machine- like action required to cover a mile in less than 2.10; that is , + Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended AYVER’S SARSAPARILLA in many similar cases, and he las never yet heard of its fail- ure to effect a radical cure. Some years ago one of Mr, .ELAND’s farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor- rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. The leg became enor- mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, Gischarging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LELAND’s difec- tion, was supplied with AYER’S SARSAPA- RILLA, which allayed the pain and érritation, healed the sores, removed the swelling, and con.pletely restored the limb to use, Mr, LELAND®has personally used Ayer's Sarsaparilla for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and, after careful oltiservation, declares that, in his belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for the cure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high living, Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the various forms of blood diseases. We have Mr. LELAND’s permission toinvite all who may desire further evidence in‘regard to the extraordinary curative powers of AYER’s SARSAPARILLA to see him person- ally either at his mammoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 28th Streets, New York. Mr. LELAND’S extensive knowledge of the to say, at the rate of forty feet or better every second. As to her temper and stable qualities, the best testimony is that of Mr. Vanderbilt in the letter acknowledging the receipt of the cheque for $40,000. the price paid for the mare. He said: —“I must congratulate you upon being the owner of the fastest and finest horse in the world I am sure you will fiud her simply perfection itself in every ‘particular. She is always ready to Jo auything you would have her, always expecting kind treatment, and the fullest ' confidence that she is not to be hurt. She seems to know as mach as man, and is of the most affectiovate di-position. These are great requisites. No one cao but admire them, and we must all love the animal possessing them.” To Mr. Bair, her late driver, Maud 5. can “almost talk,” while the colored man Grant, who took care of her for many yea's, has said that many » uight she would lie down alongside of his cot, and during the night lift ber head to see if he was there. The affection was reciprocal, insomuch that it the weather was at all likely to change toward cold during the night Grant would sleep without a cover so that the change would wake him, and he could then puta heavier blanket on the mare,if necessary. good done by this unequalled eradicatorof (It will be seen that Maud S.’s lot has blood poisons enables him to give inquirers been cast in pleasaut places. much valuable information. The trotting career of Maud S. began when she was three years old. At that time she showed a halt mile in 1.13 Late in ,the year following (1878) she trotted a trial over the Chester Park Lovely New Style of Chromo Cards, | half-mile track,uear Cincinnati, in 2.22. with name and prize for 10c. !2 This fact was brought to the attention of packs, }2 names, for $1.

KINNEY, Tanne N, S,—mar i | ! | county point of view, the fountain-head | °2!y competitor. | | j Vanderbilt himse!f drove her on the road in New York and at Saratoga. Durivg this period she trotted in double harness with Aldine, and on June 14, 1883, driven by Mr. Vanderbilt himself over the track of the New York Driving ark, to aroad wagov, drawing a total load of 411 pounds, they covered a mile in 2.154, the best team performance ever trotted. Maud S’s specd quickly d barred her from trotting in open races, for after obtaining a record of 2.134 fir athird heat at Chicago in July, 1880, and 2.154, 2.16% and 2.164 for three f consecutive heats at Buffalo a few days as her At Rochester, on Any. 12, 1880, she obtained a record of 2.11}, her last performance that year. At Pittsburg, oo July 13, 1881, she agaia reduced it to 2.104, and at Rochester, on August 11, to 2.101, which may be called Maud 8.’s last professiovual appear ance. Her best performance in 1883 was that in double harness as above. In 1884 the wonderful trotting of Jay- Eye-See threatened the mare’s record, and Mr. Vanderbilt again put her in Mr. Bair’s hands for professioval training— fortuoately, as it turned out; for on July 31, at Providence, Jay-Eye-See trotted a mile in 2.10-a quarter of a second bet- ter than Maud 8.’s record. He held the crown just twenty-four hours, for on August 1 Maud S. troited the Cleveland track in 2.09%. A series of unpleasant challenges. directed against Mr. Vander- Lilt, followed, and before the month was over Maud S. had beccme ihe property of Mr. Bonner, and on the 19th August was in Mr. Bonner’s stable in this city. Since that time she has twiee lowered her own record, unchallenged as it is by any other avimal, viz., to 2.094, at Lex- ington, Kentucky, on November 11, 1884, and 2.093 at Cleveland, on July 30 of this year. On this last occasion he trotted the quarter in 324 seconds, and half-mile in 1.045, and the three-quarters in 1.354. With a belief that she could do better still, Maud S. was taken to Narragan- sett, Rhode Island, one of the fastest tracks in the country. On her arrival 4 slow but careful preparation was given her, but unfortunately, on the dutes selected for the trials, both wind and weather were unfavorable for fast time. Even a slight breeze blowing against the horse and driver for any part of the mile will retard the speed si me seconds, But es Mr. Bonner had promised that the mare should trot, avd as the ap- nouncement had attracted a large crowd, his orders were, ‘Start, and let the mare do the best she can.” On September 3 she did the mile in 2,154, the first quar- ter being trotted in 34 seconds, and the seccnd in 354 secouds—1.03 1-2 for the half mile, She then made aslight break, which destroyed the chance fer a very fast mile. On September 12 the second trial was made. On this occasion Maud S. went tothe quarter in 32} seconds, and to the half in 1.03, or 304 eeconds for the second quarter; keeping on, she reached the three-quarters in 1.364; the rest of the journey was dead against the wind, and on this account, together with the exertion of having done a quarter at nearly a two-minute guit, the mare began to tire, aud wher the wire was reached the watches showed 2.10}—a wondrful performanea, for the half-mile is the fastest ever trotted, Mr. Bonner began to be deluged by requests from all parts of the country to show Maud 58. at agricultural fairs. To comply with them was an utler impossibility, and as he had himself driven her ony once since he bought her from Mr. Vanderbilt in August, 1884, he came to the conclusion later, she was left with “time ’ that he would like to take the per- sonal control of his property for atime. She was at ouce brought to New Yerk, and is now an inmate of the famous stable on West Fifty-fifth sreet, which has in turn sheltered Dex‘er, Rarus, avd other famous horses. On a five afternoon Mr. Bonner can be seen behind Maud S., quietly driving ou the road, aud ocexsionatly indulging the mare ia a fast mile over the track of the New York Driving Club at Morrisania. It is understood that the mare will wioter at his farm near ‘Parrytown, and if all goes well, next spring she will again be put in training for another clip at “time.” But should her present tem- porary retirements be made permanent, it will be with a record the equal of which will be waited for a jong time. Nothing in the aunals of the trotting turf can be compared with the performances of Maud 5. trot- ting as she has miles, once each in 2.088, 2°094, 2.09% and 2.103, twice in 2.1 and 2.109, two consecutive heats in 2.113 (ers ome pena ar poems renee — oot Sea Adeasualp areata aia pe ern ee noma anion pe . ~ tor Steerer vapeegcen der yee = epee ccm ange wr ar reperr seers wo Lj ei ee abe ele r * ote inal Sad ee ae Pica ai , .
