George II Kpteharo owner anddriver of the famous trotter Is at the

Rennert The horse arrived Saturday and Mr Ketcham came to Balti-more Sunday night

Mr Krtcham Bald to a reporterYou may say that I surely expect to

brnk the record on Thursday I aaiwith this rain that has fallen for

ev ry important record broken hasr a rain Nancy illicit made her

2v at Cleveland though it had beenraining jp to the day of the race and theknowing ones prophesied that the figurewould be broken from that fact Thesame result happened at Cleveland whenCresceus went in 2 Bj4 Rain to alwayswelcome to me as it dears the atmos-phere keeps down the dust and makesthe track elastic it holds and dots notcup and if Pimlico to In good shape weshall make a new mark The horse wasnever better

In some quarters It has been said thatCrc ceus reached his limit Well letmv right here that he Is not at hislimit and I expect to prove it while inHaltimore I shall drive for The timeis setting short and if the new figure isnot established here I shall have only twomore gins for it tit Lexington and Co-

lumbusI did not break the record at Belmont

Park because It Is not a recordbreakingtrack I did not expect to go better than205

Crecccus is better now than he wasthen and the weather to also more favorable He wants lot

the better He needed such a race asI gave him in Boston to make him goodand he wHI show you that he is in greatshape I judge the horse Is no beautyYou would hardly give 4 for hint if yousaw him hooked up He to a peculiarbeast Xo I never allow anyone but my-self to drive his in a race My mangives him slow work but nothing fastCresceus Is one of those smart horseshe knows his trainer and will loafhim lIe has taken a violent dislike tobis running mate and hates the sight ofhim He has apparently found out thatth runner to not the real thing and heshows annoyance when the animal comesnear him It to very different when hehas a strange horse to go up againstThen there to no loafing He to all animation and courage-

I purchased his sire from iCr Spearand his reason for selling was that

McGregor did not sire trotting coltsThe first colt he sired after he becamemy property was this Cresceus MrEpclr invested the purchase money in Directum 266 then the greatest stallionin the world The product of Mr Spearsdiscarded stallion has taken the recordaway from him This shows the uncer-tainty of breeding I have always pinnedmy faith upon Crenceus and believed hewould he a worldbeater

I drive him in what Is known as twomlHHte harness with a blind bridle anda KlmballJaekson cheek The sulkyweighs K pounds and I drive at 174 Theperformance of Creseeue does not lookto be so wonderful until you put it intoarithmetic For instance he goes 43 26100feet every second he strides 2106 feet Togo that distance he has to make twostrides every second while be himself toonly M and 11 feet long Whatwe are working for to to get him to maketwo more strides to the mile and if wecan do this we shall go a mile in 2M-

Cresceus traveled front Philadelphia toArlington in a special car Missestelle and Leonora Andrews had Just putthe finishing touches of black and yellowbunting on the decorations of the spaciousbox stall when the great trotter appear-ed to make it his lodging With him cameseveral bales of California hay whichcost TO per ton It to his favorite grasslie was led into his stall by his faithfulattendant Edward Mitchell Then therewas a downpour of rain It was his in-

troduction to Pimlico and proverbial Pimlico The horse is in the chargeof Trainer Tim Murnen

Besides Crenceus there was Mike theTramp a running horse which Xurneadrives to a road cart when Cresceo toworking to beat his own great record

On Sunday Murnen started early to giveCresceus a little road work He did notknow the local roads but was advisedhow to start Then he had an experienceHe Jogged the horse about four miles andfound people along the route waiting tosee the champion lie did not know theroute he was driving but found as haveall others that the roads are bad Whilein the country on a lonesome road hewas astonished to hear a colored manyell Here comes Cresceus

A moment later he said a woman puther head out of a window of a big farm-house and said something to the coloredman Tile man then ran to him and said

Missus says please dont go by thewhkh he was holding open but Just drivethe horse in on the lawn for a minuteair Murmn could not refuse the request

Murnens grew as heon his The people all along

the route his pet and yet hebad given no intimation that he wouldgive he horse Ta Uwork Sunday Fromcitriy morning wuUfrdark streams of visit-ors were at all were anxiousto gtt a-

We think Pimlico track Is a fastand r fc one and w are anxious thatCrr t us should r his trust With a

day and good track we believe he Isright to do it and far that reason I wanttn take extra care of him and keep himas as possible

In consequence r f this he had a portiereof blankets in front of the horses stalland nty a few persons were permitted tosee the racer

Whtn Attendant Mitchell opened thecurtains there stood Curceus in thedie ef a and dimly lighted box stallOver him hung the Maryiand colors i

Around the of the stall were line I

wool blankets a few boots a halter ubridle and a looking glass The horsestood facing the visitors as if tr isflxedA window was opened before he could beplainly I

To the p vicf Cr stus not in action i

horn to a beIK all horse and this impression is not i

rut bed out after a critical look at himHe a good head with an eye thatshows intelligence He looks at a personwho is him in a way thatitmiying him and would like to thepowtr of speech to tell Ida tmpnraions

To add to this lie drops his ears to theskit of his head and suddenly cocks oneanti n both a though he was absorbing every were said Aside from this heie sphinxlike and shows no movement

Mr Murnen had to go into the stall andgently turn him around so that visitorscord see his body The horse has a shortneck but he carries his head out straightwhen in mntlan has we ver shownindication of ehofcljfg When he turnsbit When he gets on his stride which he

mii ho takes sufficient hold to per-mit his driver to steady him

Cresceus is a horse of characteristicsMany peiple wonder where he got hisname and think it an error not to havecalled him Croesus or even Precious lIbowner did a little thinking before he named him Roman tells of a fa-mous charioteer who was a close friendof Caesar He was called Cresceus andwas the king of charioteers It was afterthis Cresceus that Mr Ketcham namedthe king of trotters

Cresceus is the king Is beyond die

ungainly looking even as kingshave At times he is clumsy in slowmotion He is big in height stout inbody and by no means attractive in appearance except to a practical horse-man lie has an attractive head but nota beautiful one To look at the animalwhen he is not in motion is like looking-at the back of a canvas which bears atreat painting To see Cresceus the race

he must lie seen In fast motionThen all preconceived Impressions giveplace to the one of admiration

CrcaceuM is sixteen hands high is adingy Urnon sorrel In color weighsnearly 1100 pounds He is muscular all-over where he should be muscular but isnot extra in bone His inthe hindquarters is extraordinary and alook at his quarters tells whence comeshis great speed power He is equally wellI built in the chest in the barrel gen-erally He lit not lacking in developmentin any particulargentle and has an unlimited amount ofgameness Every part of him tobe so evenly fitted that there in a perfect lack of friction when he races andhe will race at the Word and at his bestHis is go perfect that to hardlyknows what it is to make a break from-a true line trot Hfe carries his head lowwhen he is at full spied He has no greatknee action but lands his feet on thetrack firmly H never excited andlooks to be an horse to driveHe cornea from australn of horses whichwere noted on both sides for their temper but he seems to have inherited thespeed and none of the bad qualities ofhis CreeKfetis if simply anequine wonder He is to quit the raceto the stud

As has been stated the champion hasa record of 2 ZV and at Pimlico onhe will try to reduce this He

in his race againsttime by the running horse theTramp Mike be hitched to a cart

pull It a mile faster than twominutes He will be driven by Mr Murnen who carries a atopwatch in hishand and advises Mr Ketcham whodrives Cresceus just how fast each eighthof a mile is being trotted

Mr says he will keep the run-ner a part of a length behind Cresceusanother horse coming near him As CresceuK does all that his mighty speed per-mits him to do it is necessary tohave the rurner lead him

Mike the Tramp is an individual whoseancestry not been thoroughly tracedHe formerly worked with Star Pointerthe worlds champion The onlyother besides Cresceus and hisrunning mate in the Ketcham outfit aretwo Boston terrier called Cresceus other is a fox terrier called Carrie Nation The dogCresceus te gentle but the pup was nam-ed because of her inclination to smashthings The four animals live in harmo-ny

Of one of these dogs Mr Ketcham saidCrrseeus has found a friend in the Bos-

ton terrier which I recently purchasedHeretofore the horse would not allow

to come into his stall Now the ter-rier and stallion are fast friends Illsfact that both ttoapiutd horse are aboutthe same color

Attendant Mitchell who sleeps in thestall with CresceiM says the horse

times chase the dog Cresceus in playbut Is always careful not to hurt him

Crcw us is by the great horse RobertMcGregor His dam was Mabel by

Mambrino She was the dam ofNightingale 210 Miss Mary 224 andSadie Haskell 224 Cresceus second dam

by Allie West he by Almost Cr s-

MU now has sixteen colts The oldestb three years old One of these aout of a mare by Jay Bird was workedthis season by Mr Murnen a mile in2W

After his trial here Creceus goes toLexington Ky where he OctoberOctober II he races at Toledo Ohio hishome Then he to MinneapolisOmaha Kansas Salt Lake City andon out to the California coast At the endof the season he i t go into stud

Mr Ketcham was born in Toledo in 1890He is a civil engineer He entered thehorse market about twelve years agowhen he established the Ketcham farmfor breeding horses His first venture wasIn buying car horses for a Philadelphiacompany He was asked last night howhe felt when driving a fast mile I can-not describe the eemjatlon he said thatcomes to a man driving a horse at a 266clip There Is a great difference betweendriving at a 110 gait and a 205 gait Youdo not have time to think about

You have your horse on his tip-toes all the time and your mind is absorbed In the horse 1 rarely use thewhip Fillies aad getting take the whipbut stallions always trot better without

Mr Ketcham js observer as aman who merchant or abatker rather than the driver of thefastest trotting horse in the worldthough with such a horse there is noreason why he should not be a hankerHe is not tall his face is round andsmoothly shaven and his manner iscourteous and refined

ABANDONMENT 0 SOILS

Reasons Assigned far toCultivate Lands

The lippKrimcni of AjcrtcitltHre ISMelt H BallvttK Containing tart of

Testimony of 1rof AVhltHeyBefore the iHdwstrlKl CoiniMlssloii

The Department of Agriculture hasIssued a bulletin treating of the

and abandonment of soils Theis compiled from the testimony of

Prof Milton Whitney Chief of the Di-

vision of Soils before the Industrial

The abandonment of sells Is attributedto exhaustion development of new areasattempts to grow unsuited to par-ticular 8o8s scarcity of water unfavora-ble climatic conditions flooding and ta-

undatioH storms awl tick 4 tabor andexpense of maintaining proper physicalconditions social conditions and Trans-portation conditions-

In speaking of the cause of the eterloration and abandonment of lands InMaryland and Virginia Prof Whitneysays f

The exhaustion of the of whichwe have heard so much IBVirginia and the Southern States is dueunquestionably to improper and injudi-cious methods of cultivation and cropping It is also due to the decrease invalue of farm crops due in turn to thecheaper production in the West and to thereduced cost of transportation and tothe increase and development of special industries in other localities for ex-

ample in the production of the WhiteBurley tobacco in Ohio which yieldsmore per acre is grown at a kss cost perpound and can be sold at a cheaper pricethan the Maryland leaf and has largelytaken the place o the Maryland leaf inthe foreign markets particularly in theFrench find Belgian markets Furthermore the changes in the social condi-tions due to the civil war and the

which are still outstanding againstthe lands have been a contributing causeto the abandonment or to the deteriora-tion of many of these areas It has beenfound possible In many portions of Maryland with the prevailing crops andmethods of cultivation to obtain a fairinterest on the labor and cul-tivation but It has been impossible toobtain a living from the land if at thesame time the interest on mortgageswhich have been running since warhas had to be met And I know of onceprosperous communities in southernMaryland where they could still be suc-cessful where they could produce suffi-cient to maintain families without stintand with a fair degree of comfort butwhere nearly all the farms are mortgaged a an inheritance of thirty years agoand it is impossible to support the families and to pay off the mortgages at thesame time Areas now are being

from that cause throughout Maryland and the South

One of the most causes ofdeterioration however and I think Ihould put this first of all is the methodand system of agriculture that prevailsthroughout these States The division ofsoils made a careful survey with softmaps of two of the counties of southernMaryland this year St Mary countyand Calvert county and of Lancastercounty Pa and the study of the conditions which have prevailed and the

particularly which have have beenused in these two areas has been a mat-ter of considerable interest to me Inthe first place I would that thesoils of southern Maryland are in noway exhausted in the sense that thatterm is generally used that is a chemicalanalysis shows that they have sufficientplant food for Innumerable crops and thatthere is apparently no lack of plant foodin the soil Unquestionably the soil hasbeen abused the methods of cultivationand of cropping have been injudiciouslyselected and the soils are not now as pro-ductive as they should be There is onearea in particular of a certain soil with aheavy subsoil in St Mary county

about 40 per of the area of thecounty that hi my opinion as valu-able in its way and in much the sameway as the limestone soil of Pennsylva-nia This toil in St Mary sellsfor from 1 to J3 per acre in as itusually is or for about Jlfl per acre whereit is under cultivation inLancaster county sell now at from 1Mb to

150 an sentBut on the soil in St Mary county

there have been several farms thathave been kept up The Maryland farmergrows on soils in good condition fromfifteen to twenty bushels of wheat hegrows clover he grows tobacco and he

tobacco The Pennsylvania farmer arowsfrom twentyflv to thirtyfive bushels ofwheat he grows clover and grass sit inMaryland under good treatment and he

tobacco from which he gets from10 rents a pound also He gets the

same price but a larger yield It isheavier tobacco Now from considera-tion of the crops that are obtained fromthis southern Maryland area and of thestaple crops and of the yields and valuesobtained from the soils of Lancastercounty Pa It seems to methat the soils of southern Marylandought to have a restively highervalue and the reason why they have nots largely in my opinion because of the

social conditions and the methods offarming If you go into the hontoiof aLancaster county farmer and djwn todinner with him he has an obunAVrKV offood In great Everything thechances are grown upon hisown farm The meat has been byhimself the vegetables have beeagrownin his garden or in his fields the pre-serves or whatever may feato fortheir dessert have made by theirfB milled from the products of ttiw garden Even the sugar the chance rehas been produced on the place Aim

nothing but the tea coffee salt andpepper has purchased that goes tomake up meal The families-as a rule are large They have a goodmany children The boys and rId are

It Is the rarest thing that any of themleave the community or leave ilu fstay there and they marry It Is athing for them to settle on aportion of the farm or on some neighboring The farms are small andlabor by the owner and hisfamily The girls are all brought up tolook after the house There is no expense for servants They have their garden anad their fruit They theirpreserves and their apple butter andsuch things for their winter use Wefind that very few products are fromLancaster county very few things aresent out of the county except tobaccoand stock And they not only feed up alltheir corn and hay that they grow to thestock but they Import it from

States and from other counties so thatthey can raise more stock and makebeef and mutton Most of the products ofthe farm Including the wheat which isground up for flour In adjoining mills are

on the farm or manufactured thereinto some sort of product that Is sold orto used up in the district There aremanufactures and Industries which re-quire to be kept up In the large city ofLancaster and many smaller towns inwhich there is a ready market for every-thing that is produced in the county andthe interesting thing is that this supplyand demand ie nearly equal so that verylittle is sent out of the county and verylittle is brought In The result is thatit is a happy and contented and

community The lands have beendown from generation to generaages and seldom think of

leaving the place They are a contentedand happy and prosperous people

In Maryland the methods aredifferent In the first place the

Maryland farm Is seldom worked byowns It There is for some rea

unfortunate prejudice which pre-vails In many localities at any rate inMaryland for a man who actually goesinto and his land Heusually has an man who Ispaid to look after and direct his InterestsInstead of doing this himself Frequentlyhe has not even so much control over hisinterests and lets his land out to

farmer who farms it In his own wayby his own methods and for a ortlon ofthe crop and occasionally for a moneyconsideration The grown are theordinary staple agriculture They have corn wheat and tobac

country more bottle of the rem-edy are prescribed by physicians end used

than of probably-all other prepared remedies combined

The formula of Pains celery compoundwhich Prof Phelps freely gave to the

medical profession ranks in importancein the world with the antitoxinsand anesthetics

Its discovery marks a new era In thepractice of medicine aa the discovery ofether marked a new era in the practice ofsurgery

The above unsolicited testimonial fromthe Hon Edward McKenny ie one ofthousands which might be published-

In railing for celery compoundbe sure that no quack medicine of pat-ented name is palmed off on you in itsstead

The competition from the West andmake

them scarcely profitable The competitionwith the Ohio tobacco and general

of laborers o all sections marvelousstrides were made The question of con-struction has ceased to lie the main con-sideration with those at head of thegreat Moat of the hard workJn been accomplished o thatthe problem now to be solved is that ofoperation

For the purpose of tdtefc out whatn hods are used in foreign capitals forhandling large crowds or undergroundLines August Belmont who is at the headof the Rapid Transit ConrtntctioM Com-pany John B McDonald William Bar-clay Parsons Chief Engineer of the Rapid

Commission with several assistwilt leave tide week for

As to what work has been done and hisplans for operation Contractor John BMcDonald matte this statement yesterdayThe

construction of the rapidtransitrailroad Is faking satisfactory progressand there is no reason to doubt the com-pletion of the within thel y the te now wayat almost of Ute late the onlyexception the viaduct work on thewest side north of Sonic ofthe sections are whileon others on of delay in installingplant change difficulties of con-struction etc the work te not ro forwardThe

for the powerhouse has beenselected awl this building will be one of

for and now welt underthe of the power-

house which will not only contain one ofthe largest power plants la the world butwill be so constructed as to be an orna-ment to th city Meanwhile the elec-trical equipment of the road has notneglected and this allimportant workwilt soon be actually under way so thatthe equipping of the road will proceed si-multaneously with Its construction

and night and every effort is being madeby the subcontractors to push the workand to conduct it in such a way as tosubject the public to the least possibleamount of discomfort Of course aproject of such magnitude coveringstrip twentyone miles In length and

through some of the busiest andmost crowded thoroughfares of the cityit is to avoid annoyance tothose living business or travelingalong the should be said however that the work has been greatly aided not only by the friendly attitude of thepeople but also by the coopertt-Hyi of all the city char eor departments affected by thetransit construction and by theand support of the Rapid TransitCommission

that rapid transit has long agopassed the stage of doubt is already wellin sight and will be a reality within thetime set for the running of trains fromCity Hall to Kingabrfdge and to BronxPark and the people may realize thatFrom the City to Harlom In fifteen

minutes is at handContractor McDonald did not care to

venture an exact prediction as to whattime the subway will be ready for traffleIt is known however that both Mr

and Chief Engineer Parsonsthat the tunnel will be in a complet-

ed condition about Christmas time 1908Mr McDonald plans to make the com-pleted subway a holiday gift to the people

He has already spent nearly SW WUAn inspection of the whole length of therapid transit route by a reporter showed

that of the 29 blocks along the main linework is in progress on more thon 260Vest little has been done yet along theelevated sections of the line on the eastand west Bronx branches but the steelIs on the ground and the Job of construction can oe spedlly accomplished Thework most advanced Is that in charge ofthe DegnonMcLean Company extendingfrom the city hail to Great Jones StreetThe tunnel Is completed asfar as the digging is concerned save forthe cross streets in this sectionstretch of several blocks The earth hasbeen tilled in again and street traffic
