Chicago, Dec. 15.--A complete his. tory of Cresceus, the champion trot- ter, is given out for the first time by George H. Ketcham, breeder and driv- er, and is as follows : I was led to buy Mabel, Cresceus' dam, through seeing Nightingale as a four-year:old step a mile in 3:27, which 1 then considered a very won- derful performance. Shortly after 1 purchased Robert McGregor, and the following year Mabel was bred to him. Cresceus was the resulting foal. As a yearling, Cresceus had a severe attack of epizootic and was blistered. In some manner he rubbed ofi the blister over the half door of his stall and sawed his neck so that his wind- pipe was exposed. He presented such a horrible appearance that 1 ordered him destroyed, but, as luck, or | should say, fate, would have it, Tim Mueren, my trainer. was too busy or careless, and it was put oli until next morning, when he was found to be so much better that the trainer de cided to give him a chance for his life. He soon developed into a strong hus ky, but far from attractive-looking colt. We worked him the winter he was two years old, and I drove him on the snow, beating the best horses in Tole- do. He was started in two races as a two-year-old, and in the fall showed a very fast mile over the - Krie (Mich.) track. 1 again worked him the follow- ing winter on the snow, but he did not seem to improve very much, lack ing a brush of speed, but, when | en tered and started him in two races at Tiffin, Ohio, | found in scoring for the first race that he seemed to learn the game very quickly, and came to his speed rapidly. From that time on he learned to race and developed fast. As a three-year-old Cresceus started in seven races, winning at Glens Falls, N.Y., Reading, Mass., New York city, where he won the stallion race from Charley Herr, Binger, Daredevil, ete, in 2:044, and Indianapolis. That year he lost to Eilorse, Tommy = Britton, Captain Jack and The Abbot. As a six-year-old 'he won every race in which he started, including the ¥20,- 000 stallion stake, when he defeated Charley Herr, Gratton_ Boy, Arian, Lord Vincent, Benton M., and Jupel He was started against time seven times. At Hartford, Conn., September 5th, he lowered the stallion record at 2:054, then held by Directum, trotting in 2:044. At Cleveland, 0., October 6th, starting agminst his own stallion record, he trotted his mile in 2:04. In his first start at Detroit, Mich, as a seven-year-old, he defeated Char ley Herr, trotting 2:06 and 2:03, thus trotting the fastest two heats in a race, and in his second mile reducing the world's race record ta 2:051, for- merly held jointly by Alix and Direc- tum; his famous mile at Cleveland fol- lowed. His recent work in Memphis, when he made the mile in 2:00 flat, is still fresh in mind. Biggest Sign In World. New Yorkers, used big things, have been astonished by a pated sign at the corner of Broadway and Spring street, covering the north side of two eleven-storey buildings. This fills 15,416 square feet of space and is by far the cent advertising sign ever painted.

Written For the Whig. hat day. which of all days seems fraught with the spirit of peace, has been more than once in the few cen- turies of Canadian history, associated with war's horrors and alarms, and celebrated under the shadow of bat- tle. On Christmas day, 1775, the peo- ple of Quebec looked out from a be- sieged citadel towards an invading army under Montgomery, whose sands of life had almost run. Later, i 1537, the spirit of unrest was caused by the Patriot's army, which on Christmas day occu- pied Navy Island; and nearer still to our own time, and recalled 'by the recent recognition of their services, the volunteers, now known as the veterans of '65, were under arms to repel the threatened Fenian raids. The mutterings and boastings of these misguided, if patriotic, Irish- men, had resulted in the call to arms issued in November, 1865. and the volunteers had responded gladly. In most companies no man was missing, an act of sacrifice better comprehend- ed when it is remembered that many, if not most, exchanged a wage of £2 to ¥5 a day for. the twenty cents a day of the volunteer. On Christmas day, 1565, the fort at Prescott was" occupied by two com- panies of sixty-five men each. That from Morrishurg had its quarters on the ground™floor, and the Ottawa men in the room above. The fort, a building some eighty feet square, stood on six acres of ground at one end of the town, surrounded hy wooden palisades and earthworks. In front the St. Lawrence, three miles wide, had on its farther shore the American towns of Ogdensburg and Malone. The mayor of Malone was in hearty sympathy with the Canadians, and had promised to notify them by means of rockets, of any intended raid. This fact caused an exciting in- cident later, when, suddenly, at two o'clock of a cold winter morning, arose the sentry's cry, "One rocket. Two rockets. Three rockets. Guard turn. out." In a few moments the companies were under arms, and in the town bells were rung and a gen- eral panic reigned. However, it was found that the rockets had existed only in the imagination of a lonely and excitable sentry. The fort consisted of two floors, without partitions, connected by a wide stairway running up the centre. At night all around the walls and up the centre ranged beds, each consist- ing of three boards placed on trestles. A favorite amusement of the Ottawa men, but to which no one would ever plead guilty, was to roll a twenty- pound cannon ball down the stairway in the dead of night. Plunk--plunk-- plunk--the heavy ball would roll step after step, gaining in intensity as it neared the bottom, when with a sud- den plunge it would strike the ends of the trestles, landing two or three of the now thoroughly awakened men, amid a jumble of boards and blankets, on the floor. In the day- time these boards and trestles were carefully laid aside, and the centre of the room converted into a dining- room with four fables of sixteen men each, Christmas day had little.to mark it as different from others, except the addition of plum pudding to the menu, and a little spare time in the afternoon. The Ottawa company was CURED OF PILES SEVEN YEARS AGO. A Chronic Case of Twenty Years' Standing Cured Perman- ently by Dr. Chase's Ointment, To be relieved of the dreadiul suffer- ing caused by piles is a wonderful thing, but to be permanently cured is even better. Dr. Chase's Ointment brines relief from the very first appli- cation, and as is proven by hundreds such letters as the following, it cures thoroughly and permanently : Alex. McLaughlin, for thirty years a resident of Bowmanville, Ont., writes: "For twenty long years I suffered from itching piles, and only persons who have been troubled with that an- noving disease can imagine what | endured during that time. About sev- en vears ago I asked a druggist if he had anything to cure me. He said that Dr. Chase's Ointment was most favor- ably spoken of, and on his recom- mendation 1 took a box. "'After three applications 1 felt bet- ter, and by the time I had uted one box I was on a fair wav to recovery! I continued the treatment until thor- oughly cured, and I have not suffered anv since. I am firmly convinced that the ointment made a perfect cure. "I consider Dr. Chase's Ointment an invaluable treatment for piles. In mv case I think the cure was remarkable when vou consider that I am getting up in vears, and had been so long a sufferer from this disease." John Tuttle, expressman, 107 Stuart street, Kingston, Ont., states, "Like most men who do much driving, sit- ting a great deal, and often exposed to dampness have been a great suf ferer from piles. As a matter of fact. I had piles for a number of years, and tried nearlv everything I could hear of in a vain effort to get cured, only succeeded when I used Dr. Ointment. The first applica- tion of this grand preparation brought me relief from the dreadiul itching, burning sensations, and less than two boxes made a perfect and permanent cure. I am grateful for the freedom from suffering, and desire oth- ers to benefit hv mv experience with Dr. Chase's Ointment." Dr. Chase's Ointment, 60c.. a box, at all dealers or Edmansem, Bates & Co..
