PULLBR’S BTGHT-IN-HAND.
Two of His Trutters “Went Lame, but Ki
Made the Mile In 3:18 1-4.
‘ New York, June 21.—Lawson N. Ful-
ler, the sage of Washington Heights,
started out Saturday afternoon to drive
a team of eight horses at Fleetwaod
park a mile in Less than three minutes.
Two of his team went lame, however,
before the event was called on, and he
decided not to attempt lower than 3:20,
but he made the mile in 3181/}.
To begin with, Mr. Fuller drove the
six-in—hancl, Fleetwing and Fleetwood
as wheelers, with Flora and Fuller
Wilkes and Dexter and Snip in‘ front.
Amid cheers he made the circuit of the
irregular old course in 258%. ' Well in
hand, and finely driven, they went to
the quarter in 461/2 seconds and to the
half in 1:33. Up the hill their pace in-
creased,
quarter pole in 2:17.
last quarter in 41%
than the record.
After an hour Sir Walter and Pea-
cock were added to the team. But in
warming up the long string. Flora and
Snip went lame. It was decided, then
not to try better than 3:20.
Again the thousand spectators cheer-
ed driver and horses. Mr. Fuller jogged
his fine trotters down for a “pipe open-
er,” he said. They came around in good
shape, and were sent off at the first
score. Their driver did not hurry them,
but he had them mighty well in hand,
They covered the
seconds, 2%, slower
and as soon as one made a break quick-'
ly pulled him to his stride. The old
whip “took no chances.” He rated the
team so well that there was precious
little difference in the fraction of the
mile. The first quarter was covered in
49%, seconds, the half mile in 1:38. The
third quarter 51 seconds and the plucky
old whip landed his big handful, going
straight and true, in 318%,.
All the horsemen declared it was a
remarkable performance under the cir-
cumstances.

And South Norwalk Extends a Glad
Welcome.
Because it stops
Snuffing,
Hemming,
Hawking,
Gagging.
Excessive sneezing,
And tickling 1n the throat.
California Cataarh Cure does it.
Sweetens the foul breath,
Cures the pain across the eyes,
And in the back of the head.
Stops dropping into the throat.
Cures scabs in the nose.
Keeps the nose always clear.
And absolutely cures the worst cases
of chronic cataarh.
South Norwalk people say so. Not a
few, but hundreds among the people
you see every day, your own friends
and neighbors. Here are the words of
one of them: Mrs. Lafayette Craw, 3
Hamilton street, South Norwalk, says:
“My husband has had catarrh fora
long time, sulfering at timeswith pains
in the head, hawking, spitting and
often gagging, especially' 1n the morn-
ing, so that he would not be able to eat
much breakfast He got a bottle of
California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted 5
drug store, and already I can see its
beneficial effects; his throat seems
all clear in the morning, and he is able
to retain his breakfast. I take the
liberty to make these statements re-
garding his case for I know he has
beenO‘ greatly benefited by California
Catarfii Cu1 e. and would willingly rec-
ommend it.
In cases of hay fever, Jalifornia Ca-
tarrh Cure gives instant relief, and
used in season it will entirely prevent
the malady.
A peculiar disease is spreading among

feve1'.. There were also three deaths
during the voyage. Purser Hunt gave
the following account of the voyage:
“'W'e sailed from Colon on June 14 with
25 saloon and 26 second cabin passen—
gers and a. crew, 60 souls all told. On
June 15 Charles Hitchcock, aged 40, a
second cabin passenger, was taken sick
with yellow fever and died the 19th.
His body was buried at sea. On the
16th. another second cabin passenger
namedl—Iarry Bowen, aged 26, a circus
performer, was taken sick and died on
the 18th. His body was also buried at
sea. E. J. Prew, a saloon passenger,
taken sick on the‘16th, died at'an early
hour today, and the body was brought
to port. Mr. Prew was a young man.
agé‘d 26 years, the son-in-law of the
acting American minister at Lima. He
leaves a widow and two children in
that city. His body will be transferred
to Swinburne island and held, subject.
to the orders of his family, who have
been notified by cable of his death. The
names of 'three second cabin passen-
gers who are on board sick with the
disease are David Costello, aged 40, and
John Harrigan, aged 24, both taken
sick on the 17th inst, and William Ar-
gall, a miner, aged 33, taken sick on the
18th.”
Health Officer Doty, with his assist-
ant, boarded the Finance and made a
thorough investigation of the ship’s con-
dition. Dr. Doty learned that all the
sufferers from yellow fever were taken
sick within threedays from the time
the steamer left Colon. He then decided
to remove all the saloon and second cab-
in passengers and the crew to Hoffman
island for the full inéubative period of
five days. The three patients will be
removed to Swinburne island hospital.
There has been no sickness among the
ship’s crew. All the effects and baggage
of both the cabin and second cabin pas-
sengers will be thoroughly disinfected
at Hoffman island. The steamer will
also be subjected to a thorough disin-
fection and cleansing before she is al-
lowed to proceed to her dock. There is
not the slightest danger of the spread
of the disease, Dr. Doty says. He is sat—
isfied that the stricken passengers con--
tracted the disease on the isthmus.
