MRF. C. STEVENS’ MAPLEWOOD STUD A Wonderful Record Made at the New York Horse Show. ——_+ A CONTROVERSY CONSIDERED aes The controversy over the respective ad- vantages in harness of the American trot- ting horse and the English hackney, which has been waged with such heat and bit- terness by the partisans of the respective strains for the past decade, does not seem to grow less animated with advancing time, and the champions of the trotter are now indulging in a great hurrah over what they regard as a victory achieved by their side at the horse show last week in New York. This triumph they claim was reach- ed in the contest open to any stallion of four years old and over, register2d in any stud book, who should be shown with four of his get. Mr. C. J. Hemlin, the well-known trot- ting horse breeder of Buffalo, N. Y., en- tered the twenty-four-year-old horse Al- mont, jr., with four of his get, cons! of two two-year-old mares and two ling filles Mr. A. J. Cassatt of Philadel- phia entered his famous prize winning hackney stallion Cadet, with four of his get. Almont, jr., and his quartet was awarded the supremacy and the trotting men went wild. Despite the claims of the trotting men an impartial observer familiar with all the antecedents of the ten entries cannot regard the result in the contest ag any other than a pronounced tribute to the hackney and the reason may be easily demonstrated. Mr. Cassatt prad four dif- ferent mares to Cadet and the result was four colts of varying style and conforma- tion. Almont Bred to Hackney Mares. On the other hand, Mr. “amlin three years ago imported two hackney mares from England and bred them the tret- ter Almont, jr. The first year after the importation two fillies were born; last year two more fililes came. Each pair were full sisters and all were half sisters. These fillies took all their conformation and their style and action as well from their dams. The best points were their hackney polnts. These four mares were exhibited with their sire and being spleadidly matched the prize was awarded Mr, Hamlin, and it was the hackney strain pure and simple that settled the contest. The opposition to the hack country is still vigorous, as ind in the opinion of those this a, Put who watch the Lady Sutton, course of equine affairs it is being stimu- lated only by the persistent efforts of those who are interested exclusively in the breed- ing of trotters and is dying out even in spite of their energy. The points of difference between the two strains are so great that it seems remark- able that any controversy should have ever been raised over their respective merits, save one inspired by merzenary motives. The American trotting horse never was and never will be made a successful carriage horse. His configuration and action are both against him. The hackney can never be anything else. He is com- pactly built and full of rounded curv-s where the trotting horse is slender ani built of angles. In their aciion there is the same difference. The hackney lifts his kocks high; he rounds his knees in his stride as though his hoof was going to describe the circumference of a circle. He fills his harness and while his action is exaggerated it is a natural action. The trotter is not graceful in action. His fore- legs are shot out straight in his stride and his hind feet reach to the front feet when he is in motion. The trotter legs are out from the shoulder in action and he can- not overceme it. The hackney is good for from twelve to fifteen miles an hour on a stretch, and the record for a long distance in a short time is held by a hackne He can never go a mile in 2:05 if he is bred for a million years. The American trotting horse is lightning for a mile or other short distance, but he cannot keep up his pace to a distance. In a word the hackney hus the advantages of strength, good looks, magnetic action and stamina; the trotter has speed and frequently good looks. The Coming American Type. The coming American horse is going to be a skillfully and scientifically produced cross between the two, and breeders of renown have already commenced the work of making him. Mr. Hamlin, who is one of the greatest breeders of American trot- ters, recognized this possibility when he bred Almont, jr., te the hackney mares, and the result in the late show showed the experiment to be a remarkable suc- Mr. Frederic C. Stevens of this city is directing his efforts to the same pur- pose, only he is reaching out for the com- ing American horse by breeding American trotting mares to hackney horses. The intention of both gentlemen is the same, to get the size, strength and confor- mation of the hackney and the speed strain of the trotter combined. The course being Kathleen. pursued by Mr. Stevens in this applaudable direction is regarded as the best because it is the most economical, and results can accordingly be obtained in a larger and a quicker degree by reason of its compara- tive inexpensivenes The difference is in the cost of the breeding mare. A hackney in is worth all the way from $500 to $5,000, while trotting mares of the best American strains, such as the Wilkes family, for instance, can be obtained for breeding purposes for from $175 to $200. So Mr. Stevens will get the conformation and action from the sires end the speed strain from the dams, and thus can bread horses to be sold for a fair price, whereas Mr. Hamlin’s plan will be too expensive to make its commercial success probable. Mr. Stevens’ Great Horses. Mr. Stevens, who is the president of the West End National Bank of this city, a di- rector of the Washington Loan and Trust Company and various other corporations, and possessing large interests In a score or more of capitalistic enterprises in this city and vicinity, owns the finest collection of hackneys in the world. He is. the proprie- ter of the Maplewcod stud at Attica, New York, and upon the 700 and more acres of the magnificent place are about 150 horses, mares, colts and fillies. The Maplewood hackney stud was es- tablished in 1895, and Mr. Stevens lized its ‘advent at the New York horze show by success. tbat. was little less than phenomenal. itt “his newly imported Langton Performer, a three-year-old stal- lion, he won the first prize and the junior championship, ads; with Lady Suiton, a yearling filly, he won the first prize and the junior championship, beating Mr. Hamilton McK. Twombly’g7two-year-old Calvia. With Canny Maid he ‘oO won at thé same show the first prize ir three-year-old mares, beating Lyric, 10 was considered up to that time peerless. In his first year Mr. Stevens thus won three first prizes and two championshij CHifton IT Wint the Challenge Cup. Last summer Mr. Stevens sent Alexander Galbraith and his ‘manager, E. T. Gay, to Englan@, where ‘they purchased fifteen horses and mares,-all of them prize win- ners at the English shows, inclnding Clif- ton II. Alexander Morton of Dargaval, Scotland, said, when he learned that (if- ton II had been ‘secured for exportation from British soil, that the hackney Lreed- ers had paid £5,000 to keep Danagelt, the famous hackney sire, at home on a similar occasion, but it would have becn better to have let him go and kept Clifton II. All of the fifteen importations won prizes at the horse show last week, Clifton II off the grand challenge cup that wa last year by Rufus, jr., beating Cassatt’s Cadet and several otiers, including Vatriot and Enthorpe Performer. Clifton II was sired by Danegelt, his dam being Lightsome, by Fireaway. He won the first prize and championship at the reyal agricultural show in 1805, won the championship medal offered by the English Hackney Horse Society for the best male of any age, and was first at the Philadel- phia horse show this year. ‘sé? L— Langton Performer, With Langton Performer, who last year wen the junior championship, Mr. Stevens won last week the first prize in the class for stallions over four years old, and over fifteen hands two inches high, beating Rufus, jr., the winner of last year’s chal- lerge cup. Langton Performer is the king of the stud at Maplewood, and the admit- ted monarch of hackneys elsewhere. His rton, Duke of Connaught, and see, by Matchless of Londes- The latter magnificent stallion imported to this country by Henry irfax, of Aldie, near Leesburg, Va., who alse ‘a great breeder of hackneys. Mr. “airfax at last weck’s show got the first in the hackn pony class with terfleld, and the second in the stallion borough. with Danesfort, a half brother of Citton, I. Langton Performer was first at Great Yorkshire show, 1894; first at Maltcn, first at national horse show, Madison “quare, 1895; junior champion at national horse show, 1895, and first at Philadelphia horse show, 1896. The senior championship for mares at Madison Square fell to Mr. Stevens’ Kath- leen, sired by Danegelt, her dam being Victoria. Kathléen’s record of prizes is as follows: Fi at Royal Agricultural Hall, Lendon, 189%; the champion cup, the silver medal, the challenge cup, the gold medal, Reyal Agricultural Hall, London, 1893; and reserve to the above at the same show, 1804; first at Royal Agricultural Hell, Lon- don, 1895, together’ with the champion cup, Royal Agricuitural “Hall, 1895, the silver medal, the challenge cup, and the gold medal. The Peerless Lady Sutton. The junior-championship fell again this year to Lady Sutton, who was foaled in 1804, being sired by Chocolate, jr.. her dam being Garton, Dughess.of Connaught. Her performances are as follows: First at Na- tional horse show, 1895; junior champion at horse show,” 1895; first at Philadelphia herse show, 1896: " championship medal offered by the English Hackney Horse So- ctety for the best female, an: age. In the Class for three-year-cld mares Mr. Stevens won first, with Applause, whose re and dam were/Saxton and Lady Alice, the first by Danegelt and the second by Lord Derby. Applause was foaled in 1893, and her record 1s as follows: First and champion at Newland, Eng- land, 1893. Clifton TL. First at Great Yorkshire, 194. Second at Royal Agricultural Hall, Lon- don, 1894. Second at Peterborough, 1894. Second at Royal Agricultural Hall, Lon- don, 1895. First at Tunbridge Wells, England, 1805. Champlonship Tunbridge Wells, England, 1895. * Hackney Horse Society’s medal for best mare in show, any age. An Unequaled Record. In the same class Mr. Stevens won the second prize with Lady Daneyelt. Kathleen won the first prize for brvod mares over Princess Dagmar, and in all Mr. Stevens had the proud satisfaction of winning three championships and thirteen prizes at the national horse show of No- vember, 1896. Such a record has never been equaled by any individual owner in- the world, While the Vanderbilt hackneys, as those belong- ing to Dr. Seward Webb and Mr. Ham‘lton McK. Twombley are known,-were uct ex- hibited week before last, owing to the death of Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt, their with- drawal, in the opinion of expert horsemen, had no effect on the result of the contest for supremacy, in which all the recognized high-class hackneys were entered. In addition to ‘his hackneys at Maple- wood, Mr. Stevens ‘has a score or more of trotting-bred mares, sixteen being of the well-known Wiligs family, which he has crossed with the hackney strain for the Purpose of securing a type of American horse, as indicated.in the early portion of this article, and he is getling wonderful results, the hackney, strain predominating in the foals to a remarkable degree. Should Be Sitown in Harness. There was cons{derable criticism of the management of the, horse show because it did not require the exhibition of hackneys in harness, where they properiy belong. In the opinion of impartial horsemen own- ers of hackneys’ should be compelled to show their animals in harness, in order to maintain their claims of superiority for this purpose. There/js an increasing inter- est among horsemef/ in this country in the hackney strain despite the many attempts to dissipate it. Over in Loudoun and Fau- quier counties, Va., there are a number of excellent hackneys, notably those of Mr. Henry Fairfax. Mr. H. B, Nalle of Lees- burg, Va., has a fine reputacion as a hack- ney breeder, and he showed a number cf horses last week at Madison Square Gar- den. Gen. Wiliam Birney of this city is also largely interested in hackneys and owns a number of well-bred animals, with fine configuration and excellent action. He is regarded as a prospective exhibitor at the national shows. Mr. Hamilton McK. Twombley recently sent an agent to Eng- land to select four hackneys for a four-in- hand which he intends to exhibit in the competition at the national horse show text year gs well as at Philadelphia. peckiogtam’s Dye for oe ee can be ar, asa ot eee a aS popularity. BIG FOOT BALL GAME The Coming Contest Between 0, A. C.’s and Army Officers. THE NEXT BiG FOOT BALL GAMES Chicago and University of Michigan to Meet Again. SS CONTESTS IN THE RING eS ha The big foot ball game on Thanksgiving day between the C. A. ©. and Army Oificers’ teams is the absorbing topic in local ath- letic circles. Thanksgiving day foot ball is always a great feature of the day in Washington, and this year will be no ex- ception. Since the C. A. C.-Georgetown contests were discontinued there has been a falling off of interest in these annual holiday contests because there were no other local teams equally enough matched to make a game of popular interest. Enthusiasm to Be Revived. But this year all the old-time scenes of enthusiasm will be revived in the game be- tween the Fortress Monroe team and that of the C. A. C. The army team will not lack rooters in Washington, for If anything its supporters will outnumber those of the Winged Arrow athletes. The large body of officers stationed at Fort Myer, the arsenal, the navy yard, and those con- nected with the War and Navy depart- ments, will give their whole support to the visiting soldier athietes. ‘The large social following of the resident retired list will also lend their encouragement to the Fort Monroe men. Lurge Attendance of Ladies Expected. The uniform of an army officer is always attractive to the fair sex, and they will doubtless be seen at the game in large numbers. Twice have the teams met this season, the first game being a Ue and the second a victory, after the hardest surt of a game, for the Columbia men by te narrow margin of one touchdown, which was more the result of luck than superior trength. It is said that the army team has been greatly strengthened since the last game here by the addition of several weil-Known players, who have won repuia- tions on the West Point Whether this is true or not the C. A. C. team real- izes that the game is going to be a hard one. The army n&ver tikes to be defeated in anything, and the team will play des- perately to win. The Columbia team is putting in some hard practice for the game and if they lose 1t will not be from lack of conscien- tious work. tea Columbia's Line. ‘The line is very strong this year, and al- though not so heavy that of the army, it will be sure to hold its own. Underwood at center is one of the best men who ever played that position on the local gridiron. He gets the ball back well, holds his man, and gets in as many tackles as any man on the team. “Tubby” Dickinson, at left guard, is known to everybody in Washing- ton as an all-round Me ss heavy, strong and remarkably quick when run- ning with the ball. He has played foot ball for years, and is familiar with all pants of the game. Rollins and Dan McConville are tied for the position of right guard. If Rollias se- cures the place it will be because of his superior weight. He is quick, active and a good tackler. McConville {s an active, ag- gressive player, and keeps his man jusding to hold him. Pat Wells, at left tackle, is the best known player in the city. He has captained the team for years, and is still a strong, aggressive player. He knows the game thoroughly, and is likely to give his opponent plenty of irouble. Sawders at right tackle is a very strong man and is sure to play his position well. He is an old Y. M. C. A. player, but has been with the Columbia team several years. Humphrey at left end is the smidll- est man on the eleven, but is one of the nerviest. He tackles splendidly, and never hesitates to smash into the heaviest inter- ference. He 1s a son of Maj. Humphrey of the army, and a brother of his is at pres- ent playing on the West Point eleven. Curtiss at right end is also rather ligh but he is quick as a cat, and is a stro’ tackler. He is very good at smashing in- terference, and also in running with the ball. Back of the Line. Back of the line, the men, though some- what light, are very fast. Frank Parsons, at quarter, passes the ball accurately, runs well with the interference, and displays good headwork in giving signals. He has played the position two years, and is now doing better work than ever .before. Capt. Reeve Lewis, at right half, is undoubtedly the best half back in Washington. His leng runs around the ends have been features in many a game of the past. He is a auick dodger, interferes well, and is a tine tack- ler. ‘The position of teft half lies between Madpin and Hooker, and man will probably play part of the Maupin Ss rather light, but he i 2k, and his sprinting makes him a good man tor the round-end runs. Hooker's weight is valu- able on the tackle plunges, waere he is sure to make godd gains. Smith, at full back, is one of the best-known and clever- est_ players in Washington. Ue tackles savagely and also kicks finely. He has played for a number of years, and would be a valuable man on any team. The Substitutes. In case of injury to any of the above- named players their positions can be very, acceptably filled by the following men: Mount, A. M. McConville, Lunsfore, Gilette, Walsh and the McGowan boys. The team as a whole compares favorably with any which has ever been put forth by the C. A. C. in the past. The style of play will probably be of the open kind, which is always most enjoyed by the spectators, and which the present rules were framed to bring about. The game will be played at Columbia field, which is two squares south of the State, War and Navy Departments buiid- irg, and will commence at 2:30 p.m. sharp, THE NEXT BIG GAME. Cornell's Eleven to Meet the Penn- sylvanias Thursday. Cornell started {n yesterday for its last week of foot ball for this season. Cornell will play ihe University of Pennsylvania ‘Thursday. The work of the men was not quite satisfactory. It was above last week's standards. The ‘varsity played against the college and scored tour touch- downs. Richie missed several kicks for goal. Taylor and White, tackles, played good foot ball. Taussig was laid off on account of a bad ankle. Lueder ventured vut to play yesterday afternoon and broke his collar bone again in the same place as before. Sweetland had his broken finger in splints, but will play against the Quakers. Barring accidents Cornell's line-up against Pennsylvania Thanksgivnig day will be “the same as against Williams Saturday. Captain Beacham says: “If we play low ard fast I am confident we can thwart Penns: guard play."” Ex-Captain Wyckoff is confident that Pennsys’ total will not be over 1s, and he looks for the Ighacans to score. The team, with substitutes and coaches, will leave for Philadelphia tomorrow morning. THE BRIGHTWOOD HUNT. Organiantion of Lending Cross Coun- try Riders. The Chevy Chase Hunt Club has gone out of existence. It has been dissatisfied with itself for a long time. As a social affair, as a country club, it has been a success, but as a hunting organization it has been tottering for several seasons. Henceforth the Chevy Chase club will have nothing to do with the hounds, and the hunting members will make an attempt to carry on the Sport in a practical way, as a hunt- ing club, pure and simple, entirely inde- pendent of what its success may be in a social way. The new club, which will be known as the Brightwood Hunt, starts out with every prospect of success. There was a meeting of the prominent local hunt- ing men Sunday night, and the number who will subscribe as members of the new en- terprise is encouraging. Twenty couples of -hounds-have-been secured, and more are being negotiated for. Lieutenant Short will probably act as master of the hounds, and nearly all of the riders who have made a reputation as cress-country rivers will be among those who will take part in the first run.of the new club, whic will probably be during the first week fn De- cember. The army officers stationed here and at Fort Myer are takiiig an especial interest in the undertaking. CHICAGO'S BIG GAME. Foot Ball Team From Awa Arbor Ex- pected Tomorrow, CHICAGO, November 24.—Day after to- morrow will be the fourth time upon a Thanksgiving day that the foot ball teams of the Chicago University and the Univer- sity of Michigan will come together to do L fe en the gridiron. The Chicago team has had its last hard practice prior to Thursday's big game. Jer- rems, Yale's noted player in 1885, who has been coaching Minnesota during the season, was on the field giving points to the Chi- cago players. Every word he had to say was eagerly accepted by Capt. Roby’s men. Jerrems was noi at all backward, and or- dered the men around in sharp, brusque tones that made them jump. The Michigan team, accompanied by a hundred students, will get in town tomor- row noon. ‘The board of athletle control of the Michigan University has sent invitations to the athletic boards of Chicago, North- western, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Purdue, Beloit and flinois universities, to meet them at Chicago Friday and Saturday to discuss the question of forming a western league among these institutions.

This unique invention has only just been completed, but the patent has already been applied for and will be granted just as soo as the necessary formalities are completed. THE BICYCLE CAR, The crank shaft and crank of every whe is provided with a paul and ratchet. Thes as every wheelman knows, will permit thy rider to pedal along without overexertion. When it is desired the car can be p singly; that is, without the assistar locomotive and separate from train. This can be accomplishe aided efforts of the riders, pedaling at a brisk rate, power from the traveling which they ride to the To thoroughly un’ the un- who can, by transmii the platform on ar axle and truckt rstand the princ: operating the moving platform, which con- stitutes the floor of the car, it must be understood that they travel over an rangement of rubber and wooden which absolutely prevents the 5 sliding by. means of the ordin the car when moving briskiy along not mo tforn railroad track.

Thu the eyclist could scorch to his heart's con- tent and never reach the end of the car. It by no means follows that the platform must move when the car dees. It ean be controlled as easily as an engine, and also by means of a lever. With this lever the speed may be fixed at any chosen rate, or it can be stopped altogether. The inventor, Reuben H. Plass, has submitted his device to representatives of the leading railroads of the country and the comment thereon has been of the most favorable nature. He declines to state with whom he is at pfes- ent negotiating, but declares that one rail- road which, with Its connections, extends from ocean to ocean, has agreed to build his cars for him, and, what is more, run them regularly on tts |
