THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1893.
THIS WAS TEXAS DAY.
THEBE WERE TWENTY-FIVE THOU-
SAND PEOPLE THERE.
Lena Hill Broke the World's Record Pacing
Against Time—Texas Oattle Com-
mission Meeting.
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 24.—Texas day at the
state fair was all that could be expected
In point of attedance—the paid admissions
coming within a trifling sum of the receipts
on Grady day, 1888, when high water mark
was reached. The rush started early. The
Texas and Pacific morning trains were
crammed and the Houston and Texas Cen-
tral's were rammed, and the Katy's
jammed, and the Santa Fe's d—d—-no, that
won't do—rammed, crammed jammed; it
was the Trinity river that was dammed.
Everybody who had been in Texas long
enough to spell whisky without an e knew
that the weather was going to be perfect
and that the giounds would be packed.
There was simply no chance to guess
wrong on the indications. From 8 a. m.
until 1.30 p. m. there was a steady stream
of humanity pressing against the turnstiles
and when the shouts from the grand stand
greeted the wonderful performance of Lena
Hill there were over 25,000 people surging
through the grounds.
THE RACES.
"Fifteen thousand people saw Lena Hill
break the world's 2-year-old pacing record,
the Dallas track record, the Texas pacing
or trotting record, and come within 2*4
seconds of Online's pace, against time in
2.11, and when she did it 15,000 people
cheered her to the ec^o and cheered Cole-
man, the driver. Then they threw one for
Billy Hill, and then another for every-
body.
The weather was perfect, the track fast,
but not very fast.
A stocky built horse, without great pre-
tensions to being handsome, with hobbles
and strings and things all around her,
answered the tap of the bell for the first
race to-day. She had a circus, with a
flocking straight ahead and holding her
head down. There is one thing that caught
the attention of the women—her beautiful
seal brown skin. The man in the sulky
wore a white satin jacket and cap, and
had a white ribbon tied to his whip. Those
curious enough to know what horse this
roguish brown was bought programmes,
and when they looked for No. 4 on the
card found that it was Lena Hill. A man
looking for a world beating 2-year-old
would pass her by, and another one out
for a good looker would never seize her.
Long after the bell rang for the pacers
the grand stand was full. All of the boys
got their horses on the track quickly.
Coleman came third with Lena. When a
little filly was being warmed up, Loper
called the attention of the crowd to the
fact that during the race Lena was going
to try and beat her own record of 2.17,/£
and the track record of 2.16%. If she got
off well the first heat she would try it
then.
As the three starters, Lena, Mite and
Elijah E., went down for the preliminary
score, the voices of the bookmakers were
busy. "Ten to one, that field against
Lena," they cried. "It's a good field, boys,
and is liable to go to pieces." "Come on,
boys, and back that field aajn Lena."
"Good, liberal odds on that field." People
were heeding them not. They were keeping-
eyes on the little brown.
George King had the pole with Mite,
something of a 2-year-old himself. Lena
was on the outside where everybody could
get a look at her. Twice they scored
badly, Elijah breaking.
As they scored down the third time Loper
looked steadily at them and seeing every
horse on its stride shouted "Go!"
And they went.
Lena was nearly a length behind when
the word was given, but a hundred yards
away she went by them like they were
tied. As she rounded into the back stretch
she was going like a sinner running from
the devil. She was increasing her pace at
every stride and marching along as steadily
as a clock. When the watches caught the
half In 1.06% the only question in the minds
of the people was: "Has she wind enough,
and is she game to come to the wire at
that pace?"
She kept coming right along, though, just
as easy as she goes in 2.30 in her exercising.
Coming into the stretch Coleman took a
wide turn and then how she did come!
Putting her feet down hard and so rapidly
that they looked like four steam pile driv-
ers at work, she rushed on to the wire.
Disobeying all rules, pushing the policemen
away from the gates, men with hats in
hands rushed out on the track to see her
working through the stretch like a cyclone.
Women climbed on top of the seats in the
grand stand. The fences were alive with
all sorts and conditions pf people.
And one fellow from his perch high on a
deserted bookmaker's stand, in a voice that
will throw old Gabriel's cornet into the
shade, lifted it up and shouted over the
din and said, calmly: "God Almighty, she
has broke my watch."
Every human being in that vast inclosure
was on his or her feet scrambling for a
point of vantage, not for one fleetnig in-
stant taking their eyes off the flying horse.
The privilege men, the sideshow people,
barkeepers, snake charmers and all, cast
business and the sordid love of money into
the air and crowded around the fence, and
got on top of It, and hung over, craning
their necks and stretching their eyes to
see tt all.
Not once did the wonderful horse turn
her head to look at the thousands who
were looking at her. She was attending to
business, and her business just then was
smashing records. Never once did she
make the slightest bobble, never did she
take one step on her toes. Coleman was
leaning away over In his sulky, coaxing
her along. Looking neither to the right
nor left, having been touched with the whip
twloe,her rapid flight, she
in store on®* w wind and speed still

When Kahn, the time keeper, came down
and commenced juggling with the big
wooden numbers even-body leaned for-
ward, anu when the figures were seen a
chorus of cheers went up which shook the
grand stand and were heard by farmers In
the fields away across the prairie who
stopped work, wondering: what the com-
motion was about.
As soon as the drivers had weighed In
Harry Loper walked to the judges' stand
to make the ofllclal announcement of the
result. He said: "Lena Hill wins this

Ita driven deep into his pock-
puffing away at his pipe in peace and
unconsciousness, stood Wm. M. C. Hill. He
kn^w she could do It, and was never ex-
cited. When he did speak of the perform-
ance he remarked that if the track was as
fast as the course at Nashville or Lexing-
ton, Lena would have made Online's mark
of 2.11, paced against time, look mighty
sick. Mr. Hill, however, is thoroughly sat-
isfied with the result, and was gratified at
the appreciation shown his filly's imequaled
performance. He was warmly congratu-
lated on all sides, and several hundred peo-
ple shook his hand.
The time in fractions is as follows: 0.34,
0.32'i 0.34, 0.32*4-2.13'i.
History of the filly: Lena Hill is by Wm.
M. Hill, 2.20, out of Possum Pie, and she
by Octoroon. She is owned by William M.
C. Hill of this city, and was bred by him
at the Hill stock farm in this county. She
was foaled in 1891, and will be 3 years old
next spring. She developed speed in
yearling form, but Mr. Hill preferred to
wait before campaigning her. Last sum-
mer S. J. Coleman, Mr. Hill's trainer, took
Lena and Judge Hurt, a yearling, through
Indiana, Iowa ' and Missouri. Everywhere
Lena was regarded as the phenomenal
2-year-old of the year. Her first perform-
ance, which won for her a national repu-
tation, was at Fort Wayne, Ind., on Au-
gust 15, 1893. She started in a field of
eleven horses in the 3-minute pacing stake
for 2-year-olds. She walked away from
the bunch in the first heat, distancing
three, and finished first in 2.17%. In the
next heat she went out and again won
easily in 2.171/4, which was the best she has
ever done till to-day.
At Sedalia the first week in October she
started in the 2-year-old pacing stake and
Avon it handily in 2.22%, which is scarcely
a good warming up mile for her. She was
entered in the 2-year-old stakes at Nash-
ville, but as the meeting was coming on
and she could not appear at both places,
Mr. Hill decided to bring her home and
let the people of Texas see what a really
good racing filly she was.
Lena Hill Is a standard-bred* horse on
both sides. Her sire, Wm. M. Hill, now
about 8 years old, is one of the most
stoutly bred stallions ln the country, as
hp not only comes from the do-or-die Aber-
deen family in the male line but also car-
ries a remarkable infusion of thorough-
bred blood. His dam. Bonnie Kate, is not
only a purely thoroughbred mare by Wag-
ram [son of Imp. Yorkshire and Topaz,
by imp. Glencoe], but his sire, Sir Waiter
12.241/4], is from a mare by Edward Ever-
ett [son of Hambletonian and Fanney, by
imp. Margrave]; second dam by Long
Island Black Hawk; third dam by Exton
Eclipse, son of American Eclipse. With
the blood of Aberdeen is always associated
extreme speed. Although his record
stands at 2.46, he was undoubtedly one of
the very fastest of Hambletonian's sons,
and to his descendants he transmitted most
uniformly his heritage. The first quality
in a racehorse is speed but alone and with-
out the associate ones of gameness and
stamina, it is worth nothing when the
heats are split and heavy stakes hanging
in the balance. Aberdeen and his family
possessed speed of a very high order, but
their gameness and born aptitude for rac-
ing was even higher, and to none of them
was the slightest imputation of faint-
heartedness attached. Old Widow Maoh-
ree, Aberdeen's dam, was one of the most
desperately game ones that ever took the
word, and all her son's descendants have
partaken of that quality. As campaigners
they stand almost on a level with the Vol-
unteers. Hattie Woodward [2.15%] was one
of the greatest race mares that ever wore
iron; Kentucky Union [2.13%] was the best
3-year-old filly of the last year. No race
is ever too long for Abbie V. [2.16%], and
so the list might be extended.
Considering his chances, Aberdeen has
bred on extremely well, and has eleven
producing sons to his credit. Of these the
most successful is Sir Walter, himself a
race horse with a mark of 2.241/i. 1-le has
seven trotters in the 2.30 list, and three
of them are in the 2.20 list—Sir Walter, jr.,
2.181,4; Walter Herr, 2.1fl1/4, and Wm. H.
Hill, 2.20.
The mother of Lena is 'Possum Pie, by
Octoroon, grandam by a son of Tom Hal,
third dam a copper bottom mare, all pacing
blood of the deepest dye. Octoroon Is
known as the sire of great brood mares,
viz: Ella Hopkins, dam of Mattie H, 2.11*4;
Geneva S, 2,19'A; and Quinine S, 2.281/4;
Shadow, dam of Sir Knight, 2.23%; Signo
Vinces, 2.271/4; Suzerain, 2.29%; and Seline,
2.29%; and Gray Fannie, dam of Wm. M.
Singerly, p., 2.1G%. But In 'Possum Pie
he is furnished one still greater. She was
foaled ln 1888, and Is consequently about
7 years old; her first foal, George Campbell,
by Reno Defiance, took a race record,
pacing off 2.22 as a 2-year-old last year;
Lena Hill, 2.171/i, is her second, and Judge
Hurt, 2.37%, her third.
The other races:
The first event was the 2-year-old pacing
stakes, both heats won by Lena Hill. Time:
2.1314, 2.24*4.
There were eight starters in the next
race-the 2.28 class—Ruby Wilkes, Anna-
bel, Prescott, Lady Idol, Fred V, Freddie
Hat Sprague and Harry C. Annabel drew
the pole. After scoring three times Loper
got them In line and gave the word. Kin-
ney at once got Hat Sprague out of the
bunch. Prescott left his feet in the near
turn and it was with difficulty that Camp-
bell checked him up. The others gave Hat
Sprague a hot chase, but she out-finished
them.
They all came out for the second heat
and it was noticed that Davis was to
drive Prescott. As they scored the second
time Prescott was coming very fast He
went past the gate at the south end of
*?e». >. j10,"88- a,nd before anybody knew
it, he had jumped the fence, carrying the
sulky with him. Davis turned a complete
somersault and landed hard. The horse got
over, but lay struggling In the harness.
Hundreds of people, thinking both horse
and man had received mortal injuries
rushed to the spot. They found that Davis
had miraculously escaped with only a few
bruises, that the horse was not so "terribly
injured, and that the sulky and harness
were ruined The horse was led on the
track and Billy Campbell insisted on start-
ing him, but the vets said it would be sui-
cidal, so he was drawn and all bets on
him ordered refunded. It developed after-
ward that Prescott is worse hurt than was
at lirst supposed. His legs

TEXAS CATTLE COMMISSION.
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 24.—The Texas cattle
commission composed of W. J. Moore of
Galveston, chairman; R. J. Kleburg of
Alice, secretary, and T. J. Martin of Mid-
land, met in conference with the cattlemen
of the state in this city to-day. Those
present were L. H. Hill of Albany, Albert
Dean of Kansas City, chief inspector of the
bureau of animal industry west of the
Mississippi; T. J. Turner of Columbia, Mo.,
veterinary surgeon of Missouri; F. G. Ox-
sheer of Colorado City, D. M. Cunninghum
of Taylor, Julius Runge of Galveston, Judge
John B. Recto of Austin, T. T. Andrews of
Fort Worth, A. P. Bush of Colorado City,
John W. Buster of Dallas and Col. W. E.
Hughes of Dallas.
The object of the meeting was to discuss
the state quarantine line. The general
government fixed a quarantine line which
was not entirely satisfactory to the Texas
cattlemen, they claiming that it has forced
too many counties into what is known as
the fever district. Another thing that has
been a great worry to the Texas cattleman
is the fact that the states into which
Texas cattlemen ship every now and then
pronounce some new county fever infected,
and quarantine the cattle. The quarantine
line is vacillating entirely too much for
the cattlemen, and they are anxious to
settle the dispute in regard to a number
of uncertain counties. There was a general
discussion which finally led to the con-
clusion that the proper way to succeed
would be to hold a conference with the
veterinary boards of the different states
for the purpose of a more perfect under-
standing and a satisfactory agreement.
However nothing positive or definite was
determined upon when the conference
closed at 1 p. m. to-day. The conference
will be resumed to-morrow at 9 o'clock and
a definite course will then doubtless be de-
termined upon.
MR. HARRISON WARNED.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 24.—A Mrs. Rachel
Pederson of Belolt, Wis., came all the way
here to give a warning to ex-President
Harrison. She has had a vision that the
ex-presldent was to be the next president,
but there were several demons and evil
forces at work to defeat this end. In the
vision she was told to warn Mr. Harrison
of the great danger that lay in his path.
With no other object in view she left Be-
lolt for Chicago, where she heard Mr. Har-
rison was. At Chicago she learned that
he had just left for this city, so Mrs.
Pederson followed him here. She called at
the Harrison home, but was disappointed
to find that gentleman out. She told her
vision to the ex-president's private secre-
tary, however, and then left by the first
train for her home much relieved.
You can hardly realize that it is medi-
cine, when taking Carter's Little Liver
Pills; they are very small; no bad effects-
all troubles from torpid liver are relieved
by their use.

SUPREME COORT OF TEXAS.
DECISIONS RENDERED BY THE
STATE'S HIGHEST TRIBUNAL
Court Sitting at Austin-John W. Stayton,
Chief Justice; B, R. Gaines and T. J.
Brown, AssooiafcesjO. S. Morse, Clerk.
Ella O. Richardson vs. f\ v. Vaughan;
writ of error from the First district: The
surviving widow and children of John P.
Richardson, late of Mississippi, sued to re-
cover upon certain open ;n -mus for goods.
Some of the accounts wciv for goods sold
to Vaughan by Richardson In his lifetime.
The others were for good.; sold to Vaughan
by Kiefer Bros., and assi. - \ to the estate
of Richardson. Plaintiffs alleged that they
are the sole heirs and the sole owners of
the accounts. The courts below held that
plaintiffs were not entitled to maintain the
suit.
Since our statute oasts the legal title of
property belonging to tin , state of a de-
ceased person directly uj»-»ii the heirs (sub-
ject to the payment oi' debts), it might
properly have been held that after the
lapse of a reasonable time without admin-
istration, they should hav th- right to sue
for a chose in action or other property
which had descended to th-m. But from
an early day a different doctrine has been
announced in this court, and it is now too
late to depart from It. The heirs can not
sue without alleging and proving that there
is no administration, and that there is no
necessity for one. In Walker vs. Aber-
cronibie (61 Tex., 69,) an exemption was rec-
ognized. In that case it appeared that the
debt was about to be barred by limitation.
It would seem that when a suit is neces-
sary to preserve the property the right of
the heirs to bring it ought to be maintained.
The allegations in this case do not bring
it within any of the exceptions to the rule
that the administrator must sue. It Is not
alleged that there are no debts against the
estate; and it does not appear that it is
necessary to sue to preserve the claims. It
is urged that they were about to be barred
by limitation, but all of them appear to
have been barred when th>- suit was com-
menced. It is alleged that "Richardson was
a wholesale merchant trading in New Or-
leans and Vaughan was a merchant trad-
ing in Navasota, wherefore the said sale
and delivery of goods was as between
merchant and merchant, trading and doing
business as between each other as such."
These allegations fail to bring the action
within the exception to the rule that all
suits upon open accounts must be brought
within two years. The statute excepts
only mutual or reciprocal accounts; that
is to say, only such running accounts as
embrace items both of debit and credit.
The accounts sued on contain no credits.
The judgments of the district court and
court of civil appeals are ailirmed. (Opin-

Substitutes Don't Pay.
In the stormy days of "61," when a man
was drafted into the army, he could buy
a SUBSTITUTE If he ,liad a long purse;
many rich men did this. But old army
ofllcers wdll tell you that SUBSTITUTES
DIDN'T PAY; they couldn't be relied on.
The world hasn't changed a bit; Substi-
tutes don't pay now. Winn you ask for
CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS, don't
take a substitute. They don't pay any
more than the substitute in the' arqiy; he
couldn't be relied on, ami substitutes for
CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS don't
1111 the bill. Don't take anv chances.
Ask for CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER
PILLS and see that you get "O-A-R-
T-E-R-'-S."
Don't be imposed upon with a substitute;
nothing is so good as "C-A-R-T-E-R-'-S."
Take only the genuine CARTER'S LIT-
TLE LIVER PILLS.

THi: STRONGEST DEFENSE
Against ill health, debility and nervous-
ness is to promote digestion, activity of the
liver and regularity of the bowels with the
incomparable alterative and tonic, Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine without a
drawback, safe and thorough, and having
the highest professional sanction. It pro-
motes an adequate secretion of the gastric
juices that act as solvents of the food, and
insures its conversion into rich, nourishing
blood, which never fj» il to honor the drafts
for strength made upon it by the rest of
the system. As a l axative of the bowels it
is natural and gentle in operation, but at
the same time effective. By directing the
bile into its proper channel it removes the
many and harrassing symptoms of liver
complaint. Heartburn, nausea, sick head-
aches. nervousness, rheumatism, malaria
and kidney trouble are remedied by it.
