Admirers of horxo-fleah concur ir
the opinion that tlioro is now more
wealth concentrated in the five hun
dred members of the Gentlomen'i
Driving association , whoso track nnd
club house nro at Flcotwood , in the
nnncxod district , thnn in i ny other
club in the country. The members
nro nil road drivers , each is the owner
of ono or mora trotting horses , and n
rough estimitto would place their
nvorngo annual income at 510,000.
Grcnt numbers of them nro million
aires "It is safe to say , " said Mr.
Ruaby , of the Turf , Field aud Farm ,
"that 520,000,000 nro invested in the
trotting parka and the trottingrhorsu
interests of the Unittd States. For n
number of years the money distrib
uted in purees nud premiums to the
successful competitors in trotting nnd
pacing contests in this country has
nveragod nearly S 1,000,000 n year
The btcodinu and development of
trotting horses is ono of our very im
portant industries , "
"Who nro the principal owners of
trotting horses iu this vicinity ? ' *
"Pick out the best people in the

"Who nro the best known trninera
and drivers in this vicinity ? " .
"Itmight bo invidious to mention
names , there are BO many good ones
Old Sim Hoagland , of Gravoaond ,
may bo suid to bo the father of trot
ting horse drivers. Then there are
any number of first-class men , such as
Dan M.ice , John Murphy , Dan
Phoifer , O. A. Hickok , Gus Wilson ,
John Twiner , James Gougroy , and
Jack Phillips.
Mr. Lasho C. Bruce , who is rec" > -
nizod authority on nil matters apper
taining to trotting horse interests , K.IVO
some interesting information touching
the breeding of trotting horses. Ho
coincided in the estimate made by Mr.
Buaby of the amount of money in
vested in trotting horse interests.
"Thero arc m' ny very large breed
ers in this state , " ho said , the largest
of all being Charles Bachman , of
Goshen , in Orange county. His cat
alogue thia year consists of eighty-
eight printed pages. Ho ban no horao
on his farm which has not a podigroa
of fifty years from the choicest atock.
He has eight celebrated stallions , one
of which cost $10,000 , and eighty
brood mares. Ho has regular annual
sales , still ho has always on hand
about two hundred colts and fillies.
The capital invested in his stock is
about 8100,000. "
"Orango county has grown famous
is a breeding grmnd for trotting
horsee ? "
"Yes. William H. Rysdyk , who
owned the great Hamblotoniau sire ,
made It famous. Ho was a famous
in an , but ho and his celebrated stal
lion nro dead- "
"Docs not Robert Bonnor take
ijrcat interest in the breeding of trot-
tint ; horses ? "
"Ho is a sort of oxporimontalbrced-
ar a man who makes it a hobby.
Did Greeloy as a farmer and Bonner
IB a breeder would make a good team.
At one time ho was in very feeble
lioalth and driving made him a strong ,
robust man. Ho has a passion for
liorses , and ho knows more about a
Worse's hoof than any man living. He
: an put on a shoo as well as nny
blacksmith. He has invested from
350,000 to $400,000 in his stock farm
it Tarrytown , and must have lost
: ieavily. Ho has had but ono * sale ,
ind keeps from sixty to seventy-five
.rained animals for his own pleasure. "
"Who nro the other largo brooders
n this state ? "
"Edwin Theme , of Duchosscounty ,
s a select brooder. His business is
iono on a comparatively small scale.
[ Io has four choice stallions , and his
itock iann has raised such sensational
; rotters as Daisy Dale , with n record
) f 2:19 : $ , and Edwin Thorno with
210J ; ; May Thorno is anotherpromia-
D young trotter bred by him , who
, vill bo down among the cnicku ( his
lummor. "
"What stockfarms are there farther
lorth in this Htatb ? "
"Thpro nro several , the principal
mo being the Jowott farm near BulTa-
o. Among the celebrated stallions
hero nro Sherman and Comet by
3oorgo Wilkes , Rochester by Abor-
loon , Humlin by Aliio West , and
[ Jlack Henry by old Henry Olay.
this farm is celebrated for its choice
itrings of stock. "
"Henry N. Smith , the stock broker ,
s also a stock breeder , is ho not ? "
"Ho has a magnificent stock farm
icar Trenton , N. J. , in which ho has
? 250,000 invested. Ho has a very
mndsomo milo track. His farm is the
lomo of the great stallion Jay Gould ,
md of Goldsmith Maid , 'Queen of the
Trotting Turf. ' Judge Benjamin F.
Tracy , of Brooklyn , has a largo stock
'arm in Tioga county , where ho main
tains Oxmoor and Mambrino Dudley ,
.wo of the best bred stallions in the
sountry Alden Goldsmith , of Orange
: ounty , is another prominent man in
.ho business , Ho la the owner of
Volunteer , the Biro of St. Julien , and
nany bthor rood ones , Tlioro are
lumbers of other brooders in Orange
md Duchess counties and in Now Jor-
ley and Long Island. "
"How does the trotting interest
rank as compared with the business in
racing horses ? "
"Th'oro are twenty trotting troltn
'or ' one race track , and twenty trotting
ireederi for ono breeder of thorough *
brede. A trotting horse is A ecoro o
times inoro useful than a racer , th
latter being little bettor than A costl ;
ornament. "
"It is not possible , " Mr. Haley antd
"to say how long it takes n horse t
learn to come to the polo properly , Ii
all depends up < .n his intelligence ai.d
traolability. Ono horse will learn in
a few days what will take anothei
weeks , and some horact never will ,
apparently , got it into their heads thai
there is nny special reason for haato in
coming to the pole , though they may
fully understand what is expected of
them when they are turned loose , nnd
may do it in a leisurely way , na if they
were strolling out in front of plow.
This tcnm now in training is a ve y
promising one , has learned very
promptly , nnd , although only in our
hands n few days , already comes to
tha polo quite creditably. " As ho
spoke ho touched the gong E ch
horsu started nnd raised his head , with
the cars pointvd forward. The gong
struck " 1-5 4. " The horses listened
as if counting the strokes of the bell ,
nnd then looked down at their hitch-
ing-straps with seeming surprise that
they were not sot free to run to the
pole. "Tho first thing wo do with a
horse when wo got him and have
liniahod n lone nnd careful rximurn-
tion for physical defects ami blunnshes ,
is to teach him to connect in liis mind
two things the Bound of the alarm-
bell nnd his getting to the polo of the
npparatus It is nil the same whether
wo work him singly , for tender ser
vice , or in n double team for engtno
duty. Tno boll ia. Rounded , and we
stand ready the instant his hitcing-
strap falls loose' to load him to the
polo or the shafts , us the case may bo.
\Vo may have to do that fifty times bj-
fore ho has it duly impressed on his
mind what his duty ia thp instant ho
ia sot free. Gradually wo hurry hi.n ,
nlwuys by gentle urging nnd encour
agement , never by lashing. In a little -
tlo while ho will go by himself with
out loading , at first in n walk , then in
a leisurely trot , nnd finally with u
plunge nnd a sudden halt at the polo ,
just 113 ho will hnvp to do in actual
service. Then , if in all other respects
ho is all right , wo doom his education
complete , nnd he is drafted oil on the
tirst requisition to fill a vacancy. Sao
now how far this team has advanced
toward that point. " Ho again touched
the gong. The horses were freed , nnd
instantly came out of their stalls to
the polo nt un easy trot , urged behind
by the voice of Mr. C nik. They
took their places nnd stood steadily
while the collars were being hauled
down nnd snapped on their necks.
"Very fair , lor only three or four
days' work , " Mr. Haley continued ;
"but in n week mpro they will do it in
ono-sixth of the time. The other re
spects of which I spoke comprise
'standing well for the harness nnd
going well with the npparatus outside.
When wo first get them they are gen
erally tired out and in bad condition
from travel and wo cannot urge them
to their best performance then ; but
after wo gut them iu proper trim we
put them through their best paces ,
and they got to enjoy it seemingly.
In a week or two they go with a rush ,
halt at the word of command like sol
diers , wheel quickly , and stand stead
ily that is , they do if they are the
s.rtof horses wo want. The object
of our training is to accustom them
in the actual service , and the only
thing wo cannot give them in that
direction is the excitement of a fire
the shouts , smoke , rattle of machin
ery , sight of the crowd , and all that.
But wo can tell pretty well whether a
horse has steadiness of character
enough to stand all that placidiy , and
wo aim to cultivate in them by kind
ness such confidence in men about
them that in moments of excitement
the voice or presenceof their driver
frill completely reassure thorn. It is
something not easy to got them to
stand well for the harness to be
dropped on them and fastened ; and ,
singularly enough , some of the old
department horses , perfect in every
respect , have boon most obstinate in
their objections to the now system ,
learning and submitting to it much
less readily than those that uro freshly
broken to engine service. Their prin
cipal difficulty seems to bo in becom
ing accustomed to the unusual weight
of the snap-collar dropping suddenly
on their necks. Their education in
this regard , as well as in running with
the apparatus , must bo completed by
the companies to which they uro
assigned.
"Balky horses are a source of con
siderable trouble. Halkiness setmito
bo a whim , and old serviceable horses
sometimes develop it long after tht'y
are used to duty. Then they are
brought hero for training , and we
have to pursuade the whim out of
them.Vo don't try to drive it out
by whipping or any other cruelty , but
just by kindness and encouragement.
A big sorrel horao , now with engine
company 32 , caused us ton days of
steady work to got him to the pole
properly , just because he was balky ,
although ho knew perfectly wall what
was wanted of him all the time.
Biters and kickers , if wo cannot break
them of their bad hubita , wo littyo to
reject. Such a brute might lumo or
oven kill u man and cause no end of
trouble and delay in hitching up , und
that sort of thing. Wo bud ono brown
horse hero , n magnificent fellow phyni-
cally , so tine that wo gave him up
very reluctantly , but he was ; i perfect
devil. Ordinarily a horse will show
that he means mischief by a wicked
look in his eyes and the laying back
of his oars , but 'hat brown brute gave
no such warning. Ho would point
his ears straight forward , look as
pleasant and innocoiiv asalamb , reach
nut and suddenly seize a mnn with his
teeth , and shake him as a dog would.a
rat ; and if he could not get n chance
to bite ho would kick worse than a
mule. He shook Clark and tne , and
and came near kicking Murphy's
brains out , and then wo gave him up
is n bad lot. Ho had a white facoand
throe white foot , not good nigus gen
erally , aomo horsemen say , Wo aim
to get horses sufficiently trained just
is quickly as possible , in order to let
the companies to which they are as-
ilgned have a chance to test and ex-
imino thorn thorougly before the
inonth of trial is up. "
President Gorman says that every
now horto that a company gets goes
through an examination even inoro
Biitical after ho goes to company quar
ters than either of those he had before.
Then the firemen and all their friends
study his traits , and if there is a de
fect or flaw about him it U sure to
Dome out. Hook and Ladder com
pany 3 changed hones forty times in
succession before the men were finallj
suited , and Kngino Company 14 wm
months finding the horse wanted.
"How long do they compare ir
value ? "
1 'Trottors bring far higher prtcosnnt
justly so , A runner is in his prima in hit
third or fourth year , nnd nftcr that h <
goes down. Trottara nro often good
for twenty years , nnil they rarely make
their beat time till they nro 12 years ,
A trotter can bo mended nnd patched
and made sorvicenblc , nnd when ho't
g no he's gone. Ho resembles n kinji
in this respect. When Richard III ,
otforod his kingdom for n homo , he
spoke of n short-lived stcuplo
chaser , nnd not n kind , do <

The death of Mosen Taylor is fol
lowed by the announcement that he
doviecd not ono cent of hia cstnto to
philanthropic or public uses His no-
cumulations are estimated nt the vast
sum of $20,000,000. This wealth , nl-
most fabulous when considered in con
nection with a single individual , wait
of course mainly the fruit of invest
ment nnd speculation. It is not in
the range ot possibility that any such
amount could bo accumulated ns the
result of ordinary profits in legitimate
nnd wholesome enterprise nnd business
endeavor. Moses Taylor was moie
fortunate , or outwitted his generation ,
nnd ho leaves the fruits of his good
luck to five children , nlready million-
imircs by prudent marriages , or by
the r father's bounty. No doubt
is expressed in any quarter of
the nbsoluto right of Mr Taylor
to give his property to his children and
to refuse to do any bonoficiont thing
with it , but it is mathematically cer
tain that siioh undue accumulations
nro not fortunate for the country , nnd
that the people nro vastly worse oil
for hia having lived. What docs a
fortune of § 25,000,000 import ? If
Moses Taylor's heirs shall follow the
example of their prudent progenitor ,
it means that all that can bo purveyed
with that yust sum of money shall ln
purveyed with that vast sum of money
shall bo bought nnd enjoyed by them.
He has laid the people ol hia country
under tribute to hia family to an extent -
tent which is not readily appreciated.
If a laboring IIMH , nfter paying for his
roaring nnd education , 1ms twenty
years to work , nnd should give to toil
! (00 ( days each penr , earning oun dollar
every day , ho would bu able to earn
§ 0,000 in his lifo. Mr. Taylor has ,
therefore , loft the minus in the hands
of his heirs to buy the lives ot
4 , ICO men , or what is equiva
lent , the earnings of their
lives. Ho has discounted the
future by this amount. His heirs
hold an obligation which will compel
present nnd future producers to pay
them § 25,000,000. They may exact
it in whatever form their appetites ,
tastes or fancy may covet it. The
rights of property , universally recog
nized , secure it to thorn. Their de
mand may bo expressed in gorgeous
residences and grounds , in apparel
and jewels , in equipages and servants ,
but in whatever way they may elect
they may take $25,000,000 without
the useful exorcise on their part of a
single mental or-physical power. Mr.
Burke said that the wealthy were but
the custodians of property for the
benefit of the poor. 'J his is a glitter
ing generality. It could only bo true
wlier wealth , or the fruit of it , is de
voted to the use and benefit of the
poor or the public. Mr. Tiiylor devoted -
voted nothing to any object outside
his family , nnd if they olmll follow his
example the oum of hia vast fortune
will inure to the solo use nnd enjoy
ment of themselves nnd their heirs.
The plain , inexorable logic of the
facts is that every man who ia raised
by accident or fortune , or by his own
sagacity , above the necessity of the
useful exercise of his mental and phy
sical powers , and chooses not to take
the poor or the public to share hia ad
vantages , liiys the producing world
under tribute to the full exiont of his
accummulations. Wherefore , gigantic
estates , as they affect the masses of
mankind , are privative evils , and to
thoughtful producers are but the sign
of the tribute under which their minds
und muscles are plucod.

At a station on ono of the railroads
loading out of Detroit the train had
arrived and departed , the other day ,
when the station ogont , who had boon
in the place about three weeks , and
was looking for a call every hour to
come to Detroit and take charge of
the line , was upproiched by a quick ,
well-dressed man , smoking a cigar ,
who naked :
"Keep you pretty busy hero ? "
"yum , " wau the jerky reply.
"Business on Uio increase ? "
"Yum , " ngam.
"Do you run this station ? " asked
the quiet man , after n turn on the
platform ,
"Nobody else runs it ! " growled the
ngont. "llavu you got a patent car-
coupler ? "
"Oli , no. "
"I was going : o toll you to ? o to

"No , eir. "
"I don't ' give any passes. "
"I don't want any , "
' 'Waiting for the next train ? "
"Not particularly. "
"Want to charter a car ? "
"No. "
The ogont loft him on the platform
and entered his office and busied him
self for half an hour , when the quiet
man looked in on him and aaked :
"What's the salary of a position
like this ? "
"That's my business , " was the
prompt reply.
"What's the income from this sta
tion ? "
"Ask the baKKagomin. "
"Your name is , isn't it ? "
"Suppose it is ? "
"Oh. nothing much only I'm the
general manager of the line , and I'd
