Struggle If ever a .ucky purchase in horseâ€" flesh was mnide it was consummated when Rysdy:: handed over his hardâ€" earned money and led the animals away to Chester. It was in the stud and not on the race track that Rysdyk‘s Hambleâ€" tonmian, as the colt was named, achieved his reputation. He served in all for twentyâ€"one years in the stud and 1,287 of his sons and daughters were foaled, many of whom blazed their way to glory on the race track and wore so successful in breeding King of Harness Horses Left Many Gets to Carry on His Record One day in June, back in 1849, a poor farmer, William M. Rysdyk, was silting on the top rail of a fence near the barn of Jonas Scoley, a breeder, at Sugar Loaf, Orange County. Seeley had offered to sell Rysdyk a mare and her foal, five week‘s old, for $125.. Now $125 repreâ€" sented nearly the entire savings of the prospective purchaser and he hesitated long before he decided to risk all on the future of the mare and her bay colt Hambletonian "ADAMSON‘S ADVENTURES"â€"By O.

As the sensational career of Dexter progressed it reflected glory on his stud sire. _ Rysdyk‘s ° Hambletonian soon became the most popular stalâ€" lion in the country. It was only after considerable _ persuasion _ by _ his friends, however, that Rysdyk deâ€" cided to advance the price for the stud services of Hambletonian to $100 in 1863. This step, once taken, howâ€" ever, fired the ambition of the farmer so that the next year he demanded $300 and a year later $500. At that sum the fee remained until the retiroâ€" ment of Hambletonian from the stud in 1863, his total earnings being $187,â€" T15. Sooner or alter the Orient may be expected to become oriented to moâ€" dern ways of altaining prosperity and stability. The fame of Rysdyk‘s Hambleâ€" tonian spread, as success on the turf grew. â€" Particularly remarkable was a horse named Dexter, which scored a long series of victories against the best horses in the country, with hardâ€" ly a defeat. His name became a household word and a hippodroming tour was arranged to satisfy the deâ€" sire of the country to see him in acâ€" tion. that this perfod was called the age of Hambletonians.

Guests at the Brandenburg House in the Oelz Valley, two miles above sea level, recently watched a plane of the South German Lufthansa which sailed over the glacier and dropped a large object attached to a parachute. When the parcel reached the ground it was found to be a case containing 100 bottles of beer, not one of which was broken.. Several huts and inns situated in the highest altitudes regularly reâ€" ceive provisions and newspapers by plane. During the Summer nearly ninety tons of supplies were deltvered in this manner to points not easily reached by other transport methods. "That‘s the System!" m,sk!nflillt, who owned a large cotton gin, was informed that his gin had caught fire. He rushed into the insurance office where he had bought his policy and exclaimed, when he had found the clerk he wanted: Munich. â€" Beer delivered by airâ€" plane and parachute to high mounâ€" tain peaks is the latest attraction for tourists visiting the Bavarian Alps.

Miss Graves‘s â€" fourthâ€"grade class had been discussing the word "hero," After they had gotten the full signifis ance of the word, Miss Graves asked, "And what is a girl called who perâ€" forms an herole act?" * Willieâ€"â€"‘She‘s called a ‘shero‘."

Somewbat crestfallen, the boy disâ€" appeured, and the father went about his business. "Take that toad out of the house immediately!" commanded the father. Parson Brown‘s young hopeful had recently developed an interest in toads and frogs. One day he appearâ€" ed in the house with a box which he placed on the table with evident pride of possession. His father, inquiring as to the contents of the box, was promptly shown a large toad. "Didn‘t I tell you to take that toad out of the house?" asked the parson. Like all virtues, obedience must be in spfrit, not in letter only; else it ceases to be a virtue. "Why, papa, I did," answered the son. "But this is another toad." P On the other hand it is recalled that in a case in Sydney, Aust., the local courts recently held that betting at greybound racing is illegal, because mechanical hareâ€"coursing is not "coursing within the meaning of the act." > This decision, however, has still to be upheld upon an appeal which may be carried to the Privy Council. In the meanwhile the chairman of committee of bookmakers at White City, the chief greybound racing cenâ€" ter, in a statement to the Daily Exâ€" press says: "The law in question that the antiâ€"gambling people are relying upon is the Street Betting Act, 1906, which differentiates in favor of horseâ€" racing but which forbids betting in any street or public place. White City, however, does not come under this act because it is privately owned." The moral issue thus involved has led the National AntiGambling Leaâ€" gue to instruct its solicitors to instiâ€" tute proceedings agains a selected bookmaker with the view of ascertainâ€" ing how the law stands. These proâ€" ceedings are expected to ba initiated within the next few days. Londonâ€"The legality is to be tested in the law courts here of betting upon greyhound racing which has sprung into immense prominencs throughout Great Britain with the introduction of electricallyâ€"propelled "hares,". So widespread has become this form of sport that it is charged with greatly stimulating gambling. The governâ€" ment receipts from the taxation of greyhound racing, for example, is estiâ€" mated at £10,000. Nine days later, the legend goes, the grateful goblin reappeared and made her a present of a string of pearls which he said would bring luck to the family as long as their color was unchanged and they remained in the possession of the Maltzan family. "Should the pearls change color, howâ€" ever," he warned, "It means that the head of some branch of the family will die." The family now has decided to keep the famous heirloom locked up perâ€" manently in Militsch Castle for the weal or woe of the future fate of the family and not to inspect them hereâ€" after for any change of color in case of death.

It was found that allâ€"the pearls had turned a sickly yellowish tinge instead of only one pearl becoming discolorâ€" ed, as hitherto has been reported to have happened whenever a member of the family died. The last occasion that this definitely was established, according to family records, was in 1892, when the Baron‘s grandfather died. The legend of the Maltzan pearls, which are in the possession of the Silesian branch of the family, says that the pearls were presented by a goblin in 1588 to Baroness Eva Regna Maltzan in the ancestral castle at Militsch. The pearls were supposed to have been presented to her because of a kindness shown by the Baroness to the goblin.

Compared with other provinces of Canada in the value of its fisheries production, British Columbia now leads, Nova Scotia having dropped to second place. New Brunswick is conâ€" ceded third place. The yearly value of its fish and fish products amounts to from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 for sea fisheries and about $45,000 for inland fisheries, or nearly what bordering American States take from the Great Lakes. Due to the fact that the Atâ€" lantic banks are inconveniently site ated for New Brunswick, tho deepsea fishing of this province is chiefly in shore. The value of the Prince Edward is land _ fishories has gradually deâ€" creased during the last ten years. The highest figure was $1,786,310 in 1917, while in 1926 it had dropped to $1, 427,072. The lobster industry is by far, the most important branch of the island fisheries, the average yoarly value of lobsters caught and marketâ€" ed being about $1,000,000. Fisheries Gain Fast in Canzda According to reports madse by the Department of Commerce the present fishing industry of Canada is in the main the growth of the last half cenâ€" tury,. In 1844 the estimated value of the total catch was only $125,000. in the ‘90s it exceoded $20,000,000, and in 1911 amounted to $34,000,000. ‘The highest total for all Canada was reached in 1918 when the value of the catch was more than $60,000,000. This compares with $40,000,000 for the American Territory of Alaska, The machine will bo fitted with skiis. At the present time it takes 12 to 14 days to carry mail between White Horse and Dawson during he winter, and with the use of the ‘plane this will be cut to five hours. The machine will be shipped north to be used in air mail and passenger service to link up White Horse, Mays, Dawson and other Yukon points durâ€" ing the wintor. Enquiries are being daily received by the Board from many clubs now in the process of formation.

Actual operation of the clubs under the scheme will not likely begin until the latter part of March or early in April. Approximately _ twentyâ€"six planes are being ordered, but these will not be available, it is understood, until next spring. K.
