The Phantom Trotter. Under the above heading "Dick Tern pleton" contributes a fancy sketch of the future trotter to Dunfon's Spirit of thi Turf, in which is given the history of 8 horse named Phantom, up to and includ ing his great race as a 6-year old, a( Cleveland, 0., in the 3:00 class. The en tire article is interesting reading, but ow ing to its length, we can only give an ex tract, commencing with the arrival al Cleveland, and concluding with the sale ol the wonderful animal to Com. N. W. Kitt son. of this city, for 3150,000. It is as fol lows: Reaching Cleveland on Sunday,l did noth ing more than walk Phantom for half ar hour or so, and. putting .myself in as good condition as possible, I sauntered out up on the course, where by enquiry I found tor the first time a number of the horse? that wore entered in the three-minute class. These were taking fast work at that race was to be trotted on Tuesday the first day of the meeting. And now I saw what was supposed to be the winner oi that class. He who eat at my side, watcli in hand, being communicative, I frankly informed him that I had a horse in the same race. It was now that I be gan to i!:« lessons m the mys teries of the turf. But this man, like many of the characters of this chapter, must be nameless —a description of him. however, will do no harm. In height about five feet eight inches, dressed in black broadcloth, well polished boots, and a black silk hat with a wide band of crape (out of respect, as I suppose, for some dear dead relation). I shall never- forget his broad, pleasant face, the smile of which took him fully into my confidence, as the freshness of my turf career had won his. However much we talked my new found friend never missed timing a single horse, no matter where he trotted or how many horses were trotting. When speeding was ended for the day, my newly made friend accompanied me to the stable, aud too gladly I divested Phantom of all clothing, even to his halter, and proudly watched my black angel while he did his best to show the stranger that he was not merely a phantom in name, but iv reality. Our conversation was carried on in whispers lest chance might throw curious ears within the hearing of our words, After question ing and cross-questioning me, the stranger, whom for convenience we will call Jones, of Detroit, said, Mr. Templeton, I have hoard your story with much pleasure, and much hope for your success. And if you will rise early to-morrow morning and show me a mile, I will then give my final opinion."' That night both Jones of Detroit, aud myself slept iv the box with Phantom, and before the birds were astir next morning I had shown Jones of Detroit, a mile. Not a single soul but us three who slept together knew of the trial. When we three reached the stable after the mile had been trotted, I asked Jones of Detroit what he thought of Phantom. His reply was s-e-h, accompanied with a smile of satisfaction such as 1 never beheld, nor expect to behold again. With a smile pe culiar to Jones of Detroit he held his split second watch to my face lost Phantom himself might sec and speak of it. I was not ignorant of tho marvelous time made by Goldsmith Maid, llarus, St. Juli'm and Maud S.. and knew that if occasion re quired. Phantom could distance anything they hid done. Put when I saw Jones' watch, it startled me so that for a moment I was speechless. When I essay id to speak, Jones, of. Petroit, raided, bis finger lo my mouth with a !Sdi! Taking my hand in his, we made a vow then to "keep th? trial a "dead secret until Dan Macs should bo dead and rotten. Then W9 both fell to doing up the horse that had done.'as Jones declared and his watch corroborated, what no one but the editor of Daafon's Spirit of the Turf ever thought a trotting horse would ever accomplish. "Young feller," said Jones, '-keep a level head on your shoulder until Tuesday night, and both our fortunes are made. There will be no 'monkey work' hero, for the judges are dead square. I shall back Phantom until every nickel in Cleveland is in the pool-box; and if there is anything but a locomotive can get away with that black hurricane, I want to walk home!" Tuesday came, and with it cams a day propitious as my first moating with Jones of Detroit. When we wero rung up for the three-minute class, it seemed to me there were a hundred horses to start. Splan, Mace, Hickok, Turner, and every other driver of whom I had heard, seemed to be in my way as we came down for the word. It was an utter impossibility for Phantom to poke his nose in between them. Phantom had been fortunate as I thought in drawing the pole, but his chance of taking the pole would not have been worth a nickel, I believe, without the aid of Jones of Detroit, who walked across the quarter stretch, and holding up hit finger to the judge as no other man can, called their attention to the fact that the driver of his horse, as he called him, was a mere boy and not accustomed to "the gang;" 'but if the judges would be kind enough—l noticed he emphasized the word kind —wo (Jones, Phantom and I) would show them some of the neatest trotting they had ever seen on that very popular race course. When Jones, of Detroit, had completed his re qaest and ended his compliments, the judges pledged him their .best endeavors should be used in behalf of Phantom and his boy driver. After this promise on the part of the judges, there was an unheard-of war of words among the profession. Mace damned the judges; Turner put on his spectacles and squinted at them from his sulky; Goldsmith consulted with his parent, and Splan and Hickok sent to the pool box and hedged. Once more we came for the word, and once more the boys all turned in front of me. Bat Mr. Edwards rang them to a halt as they were on their way back, and closed. his | impressive | lec ture with the declaration that "any man who came here ' ahead of the pole horse should give up ' fifty." This settled it. All went up like a squadron of soldiers, but as I began to \ turn with the others, Mace sang out, "Keep back, young feller, or you'll get hurt!" Stoical as Jews neither Phantom nor I heeded the threat. Every horse was level, and as neither Phantom nor his driver was rattled in the least, the approach to the wire (eight horses in all) was one of the handsomest, ever seen. . "Go!" shouted the starting judge. "Shut 'em out!" yelled a voice which Phantom recognized as that of Jones, of Detroit. Thereupon wo set sail. Q As true as an arrow, Phantom sped away with the spirit which had buoyed me up since the hour of his birth. A the half mile post 1 felt that I had at least £50,000 iv my own right. At three-quarters I saw that I had them all shut out. Phantom seemed fresh as when he began, and I called noon him with bit and voice. As IJ did so the screams of the women, the hur rahs-of the men and the throwing of hats wore 'but additional incentives to Phantom for one of his best flights, by which' ho went flying under the wire like an inspired horse. When I had turned him around, not a horse had passed the distance post. Ten thou sand voices proclaimed Phantom the winner. Fences were like so many cotton threads to those who came flocking over them without permission, to throw their arms around the horse that had played I with seconds as a giant toys with straws, j To lift the boy driver upon their should ers and carry him in triumph to the select stand for their wives to kiss, was the work of a moment. Blushing like a modest school girl, I begged to be permitted to go to my horse, which I feared might take harm. Edging my way back, I saw Jones of Detroit loading Phantom under a tri umphal arch of flowers that had been pre pared for the winner, whoever he might be. And looking up at tho black-board I read — "Phantom first; all others distanced. '.-.-. ■:.;';/ :• TIME. By quarters— :31, -31. -4,:31?4, :28— 2:02." Men, women and children were wild with joy. The judges took their coats off and waved them over the railing and shouted themselves "hoarse. Commodore Kittson and Col. Edwards hugged each other in ec stasies. "I'll give §100,000 for Phantom," cried Mr. Gordon. "One hundred and fifty shouted the commodore, his arms still around Col. Ed wards. "Where is Bonner?" yelled the multitude. Meanwhile Phantom and his followers were tripping away to tho stables, and Jones of Detroit sat in tho shadow of the pool box, figuring up his pool-tickets. That done, Billy Armstrong might have been seen counting out $87, -500, of which according to agreement with Jones of Detroit, $43,750 was turned over to "Yours Truly." That night, a sale of Phantom to Com. Kittson, for $150,000, wee consummated; which, added to the first money won of $500, made ice at that time worth $194, 250. Death of a Midway Matron. Com. N. W. Kittson has had the misfor tune to lose the bay mare, Lady Fairfield, who died Saturday morning. Lady Fair field was with colt |» Blackwood, Jr.. due to foal in March. A. week ago Friday sho had a very severe attack of colic, it is sup posed causing the death of the unborn foal, which in turn resulted in the death of the mare. Lady Fairchild was foaled in 1572, her sire being Sargent, and dam by Richard's Bellfounder; 2d dam by Wild Harry. She was nearly or quite 16 hands high, rangy, showy in harness and a good mover. Pine Silver to Midway Trotters. Dropping into the business office of Com. Kittson the other day, we had th* pleasure of inspecting two awards of sil verware made by tho Minnesota Agricul tural and Mechanical association, at Min neapolis last fall. Ono is a largo, hand somely chased silver "love cup," which bears the following inscription: •'Minnesota Agricultural and Mechanical Association, 1882. Awarded Blackburn, Jr., as the best trotting stallion of any age." The other is a larger silver pitcher with two companion cups. Upon the cups, tho Same "Com. N. W. Kittson" is engraved, while upon the pitcher is inscribed, "Min nesota Agricultural and Mechanical Asso ciation, 1882. Awarded to Com. N. W. Kittson, for the best display of trotting stock of all age.-." The ware was furnished by It. Matson & Co., State and Monroe : streets, Chicago, and is both rich and . handsome. Sale of a Half Interest int'.e Trotting Geld ing Dutchman. Ca[<t. Thomas B. Marrett, this city, has sold a half interest in this bay trotting gelding Dutchman, to Dr. W. L. Mintzer, the well known thoroughbred breeder, r.lso of St. Paul. Dutchman was bred in Min nesota, his sire being of Red Wing, by Badger, and ho by Kill's Black Hwk. His dam has not been fully verified, but is be lieved to have been by Young Morrill; 2nd t dam a thoroughbred. Dutchman made his first appoarauefl a3 ft trotter in 1880 in his 6-year old form, securing a record cf 2:31, and shotting his ability to trot very much faster. Mr. Marrclr, who is one of the best practical horseman in the strife, thought he saw a wonder in the colt, and soon became his owner at a good round price. The next spring he was entered in his class at the spring meet ing of the Chicago Jockey club, whither he was sent for his preparatory work. A abort time before the races, however, and when he had shown miles close to 2:20 he went lame, and had to be let up in his work. The next season he was placed in the hands of Van Ness, the well-known driver and trainer, but the lameness again returned while undergoing preparation. Later he has been treated by different par ties, apparently with success only to meat with disappointment again, the lameness reappearing whenever given fast work. Notwithstanding the failure of others, Dr. Mintzer, who has accomplished some quite remarkable cases of disabled horses, nota bly in the case of the race horse Miutzer, or Garry Owen, is satisfied he can bring the horse out all right, aud as an evidence of his ability to do so has purchased ■ half interest. If Dr.' Miutzer should have his expectations, he will bo fitted ami cam paigned. , A Straight It mining Track. Col. Clark, president of the Louisville Jockey club, is constructing a straight track upon the club grounds, every part of which can be seen to excellent advantage from the grand stand. The Louisville Courier-Journal says of it: "Except a very slight curve coming into the quarter-stretch home, the new track will be straight from start to string. From the start for the first quarter the slope is just enough down grade to place that part of the contemplated track in full view of the grand stand, aud not a motion ef the runner will be lost. The ground lies excellently, and with very little filling, which is being made at the intersection of the new track with the old at the quarter poles, this will be second to no coarse in the world, as to sodding and dead level. Col. Clark con templates extending the track to the length of one and a quarter miles, but to do this will probably have to make a curve beyond the three-quarter mile post, so that the straight track will not probably extend over three-quarters of a mile. The advantage of extending this course to the length of one and a quarter miles will be that by so doing nearly all the dashes can be run upon it. The additional beau ties of a race run upon the straight course can be oftener presented, as every race will be on a straight line from the three-quar ter pole home. Many other improvements are progressing and others yet to be en tered upon will be noticed hereafter. The uniqueness of this new trick makes it do serving of this special mention." Breeding of Trolling Horses. The Rural World s*ys the breeding of trotting ( orso; is getting to be a large in dustry in'this country. Millions of dol lars are invested in the business. The California breeders have been outdoing THE ST. PAUL DAJLY&LOBR, MONDAY MORNING. feBCBMBERII, 1382. the breeders of other sections, cspurjially in early development' of %pteei V n their younglings. But we doubt wither they will be allowed to retain H# supremacy. Tho Kentucky blood has 10 en pretty well stirred up by the wonderful achievements | of the Pacific coast Colts and fillies, and Kentuckians are d^ad.game in a fight of any kind, and will not allow the well earn ed laurels they had achieved to be so ruth lessly torn from their brows. They now mean business, and are preparing to contest for the laurels won by the Cali forniaus. A Handsome Trie.lc Horse. W. H. Harris, of Chicago, has received direct from his brother in Hamburg, Ger many, the grey stallion, "Emperor Wil holm," (rechristened Senator), which is de signed for .Dan Costelio's New Nickel Plate circus, which is now being built at Benton Harbor, Mich.. Senator is said to be one of the finest horses that ever left the old country. Ho is six years old, 15 hands high, weighs 1,044 pounds, and nimble as a cat. His mane measures 4S inches, foretop 21 inches, and tail drags 18 inches. He is beautifully dappled, and is the most remarkable as well as the handsomest individual horse in America; and with the Costello's careful and painstaking care, he expects to turn out by next spring the best broken trick horse in the world. Miscellaneous. The first Messenger horse was imparted in 1878, arriving at Philadelphia. The yearling colt Endymion, by Ten Broeek, Pinafore's dam, for which Mr. P. Lorillard paid $5,000, has been suffering from distemper. ■ A lot of blooded stock sold for $20,00 C was shipped from Lexington, Ky., on the 28th ult. to Mexico, by the purchaser, Fier cetiosa Garcia, the owner of a stock ranch L. U. Shippee, of Stockton, Cal., has purchased in the East a car load of Daniel Lambert mares, and sent them to his ranch in the San Joaquin valley.

Twenty thousand was ashed am an offer of nearly that amount refused It is currently reported that Hickock litis surrendered Santa Clam and that the great California stallion, who is at-present in charge of John Turner, will be handled by "the Gen eral" next season if ho comes out till right in the spring. Flora Belle, tho very fast pacer that won the free-for-all class at Chester park at the fall meeting, is at tho home of her owner. Mr. J. B. McCarthy, in Indiana. It is confidently expected that she will be the sensational heeler next season, and is ca pable of lowering the record. The bay trotting gelding, Pilot R. 1872 by Black Knight, dam by Joe Davis, rec ord of 2:21 '.4, died on Saturday, the 18th inst., at Detroit, Mich. The horse had been ailing for some time, and a surgical opera tion was resorted to, from the effects of which he died. His owner recently paid $2,500 for him. Mr. W. G. France has puichased of Mr. C. G. Meginniss, Baltimore, Md., the trot ting mare, Alice Oates, by St. Lawrence Messenger, (son of Allen's St. Lawrence), dam a fast pacing mare by Morgan Black Hawk, for §3,500. Mr. France purchased tho mare as a mate for Sally Brass, by George Wilkes, and is confident the pair will make a lino team. Mr. W. S. Backner, Paris, Ky., is the owner of a bay yearling colt, answering to the apt cognomen of Currency, by Cali ban, out of Steinwaj's dam, by Albion (son of Peter's Halcorn)* second dam by Marshal Ney; third dam by Bertrand (son of Sir Archy). etc., that lias trotted a mile in 2:46.

Kitt* son the last season, was in tho city for a couple of days tho past week. "Knapsack" has not fully matured his plan for the coming season, bat that he will bo seen through tho circuits with some good horses is undoubted. He told the Globe reporter that ho had no doubt that being all right, the stallion Yon Arnim and the mares Fanny Withers and Minnie R. would reduce their records to below 2:IG the coming ioason. Now and then seme very amusing thizrgs get into the "Answers to Correspondents" column of The Spirit of (he Times. For in stance, "J. G. D., Brownsville, Term.," in tho last issue aske: "Would you inform me whether John Splan, the driver of Raru«>, is a negro?" and then he goes on and asks about Gus Lytton, Morrill Higby and Daniel Mayns — meaning Gus Gliuden, Morril Higbee and Dan Mace — with several more equally ridiculous errors. But John Splan, a ne gro, is the best of all. "Veritas" in The Spirit gives John Splan the following handsome send off: "I learn that 'Knapsack, McCarthy's connec tion with Com. N. W. Kittson's stable of trotters bus ceased. It is rumored that John Splan will succeed him.

Kittson's business office is one of the famous old time trot ting mare Flora Temple, who died the property of Mr. Welch, the former owner of the Erdenheim stock farm, recently purchased by the commodore. The old mare's remains were interred on Erden heim, a short distance from the family house, a . marble slab appropriately in scribed, separating the head of her grave from that of the great Leamington, whose fame through Parole, Iroquois and others of his get, have made tho name of Erden heim as a household word among breeders and turf patrons the world over. - Suspected Thief Caught.

THS DEATH OF LOUIS BLANC, Some Points of Special Inter cs l in His Career. , Louis Blanc, who died at Cannes on the Gth was a native of Ma arid, where he was born October 28, l?i3. His father held official position, under King Joseph, and his grand father fell a martyr to the revo lution of 179",. His mother was Spanish and cam of a family of inveterate haters of tho Napoleons. It was hot Spanish blood, only one generation removed from j tragic death and starting with implacable opposition to the family that were the dic tators of Europe during the formative years of If. Blanc's life development. It is* not a Mirabeau or a Danton. Louis Blanc was a thinker and a writer, rather than a prac tical revolutionist. The grandfather's death might have checked the ardor of revolutionary tendency,and under a peace ful monarchy Louis Blanc had probably been merely a writer of polite or philo sophical literature. But the mother in him fought against all Napoleonic pre tensions, and accident, say Providence, made him a reformer. <;j ,.."- His mother died as he was about enter ing manhood and his father soon after met disaster and death. Louis Blanc had thus, parts, poverty and hardships enough to make a man. Finding himself alone and the world before him he sought Paris, and from Paris went to Arras and became a tutor in the family of a rich manufacturer —no doubt often snubbed by shoddy and inferior talent. There ho studied the conditions and hardships of the lives of laboring men and got tho first key to tl»o door of his life's work. Leaving the dull work of a tutor ho took to journalism and wrote for LelSon Setts, the National, tho Revue dv Progress and La Reform. His impulses and his work favored the poor, and during the revolution of '4S he became so popular that he was offered the dictatorship, bat instead found himself plotted against and he wisely left France raid settled in London. There he did most of the work on his "French Revolution^ and won deserved re nown. When Louis Napoleon played his famous coup d'etat M. Blanc left England and entered France, thinking the country ripe lor a revolution against the emperor; but finding disheartened despair every where and having unfitted himself for facing such, he returned to London and wrote petty articles on English life for Paris papers. Later he published his 'MUistoire de Dix Ans." Alter Sedan he returned to Paris, joined the National guards and opposed the communistic in surrection. February, 1879, ho made a proposition in the chamber of deputies for plenary amnesty, which, however, was defeated. It was a sensitive, sympathetic soul.earnestly devoted to such true work as in his judg ment was of service to his fellow-men. lie was too disinterested to be a politician; too much of a student and thinker to be a successful leader of political bodies, and it id difficult to see how, born when and as he was. he could have made any better use of his life than he made of it.

Kinney, of Rice county, Min nesota, furnishes tho press with the follow ing account of his operations with amber cane the present season: The season was very backward, and on July 20 the cane that had had the best cultivation only av eraged six inches high, and many thought there would bo no crop. We plowed the cane six times, the last very little, so as to get tho full benefit of the heat. We had a light frost Sept. 10, and on that date com menced to run the mill, with the following results to Oct. 11. We made 0,550 gallons of sirup—-a:i average yield per acre of 140 j 23-112 grtiiosM. Total running* e.tpenser, for nineteen days, $539.60. Average daily product, 344 14-19 gallons. Cost of mak ing per gallon, Bjfe^ cents. Price paid per '.on for cam?, $2.50. Cost of raising one acre of ttatae, including rent, $&88. da ting ft' tops, $1.73 per acre. Cutting and WMdrowing, $1.25; hauling cane to mill,; quarter of a mile, $2JiO per acre. Cost of ; manufacturing enc acre of cane, $12.05* total cost of one acre, $28*98; value of sirup per gallon, 55 cents net; profit at these figures, $5&08 per acre. Tho above was up to Get. 14, and we used 448 tons of cane.

Our tradesmen should make it a point to keep off tho grocer's books. If a debt must be paid some time, why should it not bo paid at once, especially if it be a little matter like the price of tea, coffee or but ter It is an almost universal custom to charge less on cash payments than on credit. Farmers have been re peatedly warned against blanketing their farms with mortgages. This custom has long been the maelstrom of American journalists. Unless the chances are very reasonable and tho risks - slight, mortgages are double-edged tools that good people ought to avoid. There is a certain sturdy independence in that hones ty that tries to pay as it noes, that shrinks from selling its future labors in debt and tries to have a balance on hand to provide for exigencies which may arise. This is the best policy in the end, and secures those who practice it an honest sense of owning their own souls. The Enemy of the Oyster. Naturalists tell us that the sting-ray, star-fish, prawns, boring 'winkle ami gryphon, are the deadliest euemies of the oyster. That's all the naturalists kno« shout it The worst enemy.the oyster has is the spiritaelle woman of 18? pounds, when she* declares, after the theater, that she cannot cut a single morsel, oh,; indeed no.

He dressed in black, and, if he espied a funeral proces sion with a vacant seat in any of the coaches, promptly pulled out a hand kerchief and hid his face in it while hail ing the vehicle. Under the impression that he was one of the mourners arrived late, he was, of course, immediately in stalled in tho vacant seat. This went on for some time, till one unlucky day the actor attempted to talk to his companions. '•Poor thing, I weep for her!" he said, from the folds of the handkerchief. "He is dead, not she," replied his opposite neigh bor. "I know, I know; but so young!'' "Ourgood friend was sixty-eight last birth day," objected another. "I aUudod to his children, monsieut," said the unhappy act 1, not she,'' replied his opposite neigli '■J know, I know: !>;;'„ so young!" •good friend was sixty -eight last birth " objected another. "I alluded to his Iren, monsieui," said tlie nnhappy act or. "But he had none!" cried the mourn ers in a chorus; and the actor was thank fa! that the coach halted at that moment at .he cemetery, thus enabling him to escape.
