FRIDAY NOVEMBER 20, 1896.
THE WEATHER, ‘to-dayz—Fair to-
day, fair and colder. On Saturday and
Sunday cold and cloudy with possible
snow or min following.
Dollar Wheat.
Dollar wheat has been regarded as
the summit of the average farmer’s
ambition—the goal which, it reached,
makes him rich and happy and willing
to live in peace with men of other call-
ings. This satisfactory attitude has
not been reached in the existing slide of
the wheat market, but December wheat
sold at90 cents yesterday in the sea-
bmrd markets. _
Ninety cents is nine-tenths of a dol-
lar and it is quite possible that the exi-
gencies of the famine-stricken countries
abroad may easily add the other ten
cents before a new harvest can be
gathered and put on the market. At
90 cents a bushel the wheat farmers
ought to be nine-tenths happy anyway
and that is more than most people are.
The Two Minute Harness Horse.
The much discussed question as to
the ability of a light harness horse cov-
ering a mile in two minutes flat was
forever settled in the affirmative, when
the pacing stallion John R. Gentry, at
Rigby Park, missed the coveted goal
by a has half second only, or adis-
tance of about seven yards.
When it is borne in mind that this
great mile was paced away up in Maine,
and on one of the two coldest days on
record for September, every horseman
_. will recognize the possibility of a mile
in even less than. two minutes under
more favmibie' circumstances. The
feat is a triumph for the word’s cham~
pion.
John R. Gentry came legitimately by
He is largely
Himbletdnian and thoroughbred on
both sides, and his-courage comes from
the latter strain.
It is asserted, and not Without reason,
that the pacing gait is eaSier than the
trot, and this is borne out by the fact
that, except for a few weeks in 1892,
the pacing record has invariably been
faster than that at the diagonal gait.
‘ Itlhas taken thirteen years to bring the
pacing record from 2le made in 1883,
to Gentry’s present mark of 2:00%.
Horsemen have talked for years of the.
coming two minute trotter or pacer
and now it is concededly reached by
«Gentry who was yesterday sold in New
. York, at auction, for $19,900.

The Motor Carriage.
Wed comes from Paris that the
horseless carriage is beyond doubt
practicable for daily use, says an ex-
change. The manufacturers of this
vehicle are overloaded with orders and
cannot make them fast enough. Such
a crate for then exists among the
French that premiums are paid to get.
orders attended to eirlier than the
regular turn.
The craze will overtike this. country.
Alrealy the homeless carriage is s.)
com-n n as not to attract great atten—
tion an tie city streets. When the
heavy hauling waron can be made, to
run by mec‘ranica—l motive pover, a
revolution sq ml to that which followed
the introduction'ot the bicycle Will
have been accomplished,
Tbs benefits f illowing the use of the
mechanicil motor truck and express
wagon will be incalculable. Humane
persons will no longer be shocked by
the sight of ranting, exhausted horses
pulling themselves in tw; in the Vain
effort to draw an impossible had up“ a
steep hill, while the lash of soulless
drivers stings the ears as it falls on the
defenseless creatures. The expense and
'Il scleanliness of horse keeping will be
abolished forever” The faithfu‘, long
tortured animals will be released from
bondage, the space they occupied can
be taken by people, and the streets will
not wear _out half so fast.
With the day the horseless vehicle
will come the day when families of
moderate means cm help their own
pleasure carriages. One more step will
have been taken toward the downfall
of the snob whose only claim to en-
periority is that he can enj )y pleasures '
denied to poor people.

The Pioneer Hook and Ladder com-
pany held a “musical” at their head-
quarters on Main street, last evening;
AMUSEMENTS."
“Princess of Bagdad.”
It is said that no play written in re-
cent times appeals more strongly to all
classes of the community, no matter
what their degree of intelligence, than
"The princess of Bagdad.” The title
role is assumed by Misngargaret Ful-
ler, and affords her opportunities for
the display of her rare qualities as an
emotional artist. "The Princess of
Bagdad” will be the attraction at Hoyt’s
Theatre, to-morrow evening.
Mr. Barnes of New Y‘ork.
"Mr. Barnes of New York” Will be
presenled at the Opera House next
Monday night. The company which is
a strong one, is headed by Miss Loraine
Hollis, who plays the heroine Marina, a
Corsican girl. The part is one of in-
tense emotional interest, in which Miss
Hollis is seen at her best. Miss Hollis
is a very beautiful woman and an act-
ress of marked ability. As Marina, she
has excellent opportunity to display
her natural emotional powers. The
supporting» company is unusually good
and no expense has been spared in the
production. '
MeAuIiffe and Greene.
The popular singing comedian, Jere
McAulifi'e and the brilliantyoung actor
Jos. Greene, supported by their care-
fully selected company, will present
the comedy drama, “The Westerner,”
for their opening play at Hoyt’s , Thea-
tre on Monday night. McAulifi'e’s
many warm friends here will certainly
give him a warm greeting. Ladies’
tickets for Monday night can be had at
Plaisted’s drug store, South Norwulk,
and Pinneo’s stationery store, Norwalk.
Hoyt's A Trip to Chinatown.
Laura Bigger and Burt Haverly will
present Hoyt’s “A Trip To Chinatown ,”
at the Opera House to-morrow night
and it will be a notable engagement,
not only because the town commences
t) grin whenever a Hoyt production 'is
announced; but with the present com-
ing of this fertile author’s most success»
ful play, it is to be interpreted by the
best company yet seen in the play. “A
Trip To Chinatown,” enjoyed the un-
precented run of 656 nights at Hoyt’s
Theatre, New anil. Previous to the
unprecedented run of " \ l‘rip 'l‘o Chi-
natown.” the B1 rck Crook had been
given 406 times; Hazel Kirk 486 times
and Humpty Dumpty for 433 perfor-
mances. Adonis held the record with a
run of 603 nights at the Bcjou Theatre,
until the great farce comedv eclipsed
all, a‘nil placed for itself a mark which
will probarly not again be reached, on-
it ss it is by one of Mr. Hoyt’s own pro-
ductions.
“The Limited Mail.”
Elmer E. Vance’s “The Limited
Mail” was presented to a good sized
audience at Hoyt’s Theatre last night.
The play is an excellent one, but b.-
yond Beatrice the company presenting
it last night was mediocre, much to the
disappointment of the audiencs.
A Forest Fire on Long Island.
All day long farmers and others have
been fighting fire in The woods north-
west of Southold, L. I. Twenty-five
acres have been ravaged by the fire,
which is still going. Much fine wood-
land has been'destroyed. Sparks from
the guns of sportsmen are supposed to
have started the conflagratiou.
