Physicians Confess.
AU honest, conscientious physicians who give B.
B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) a trial, frankly admit
its superiority over all other blood medicines.
Dr. W. J. Auair, Rockmart, Ga., writes: “I re-
garde B. B. B. as one of the best blood medicines.”
Dr. A.H. Roscoe, Nashville, Tenn., writes: “All
reports of B. B. B. are favorable, and its speedy ac-
tion is truly wonderful.”
Dr. J. W. Rhodes, Crawfordsville, Ga , writes: “I
confess B. B. B, is the best and quickest medicine
for rheumatism I have ever tried.”
Dr. S. J. Farmer, Crawfordsville, Ga., writes: “I
cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a fine tonic alter
ative. Its use cured an excrescence of the neck af-
ter other remedies effected no perceptible good.”
Dr.C. H. Montgomery, Jacksonville, Fla , writes:
“My mother insisted on my getting B. B. B. for her
.rheumatism, as her cuse stubbornly resisted the
usual remedies. She experienced' immediate relief
and her imprnvement has been truly wonderful.”
A promiaent physician who wishes his name not
given, says: “A patient of mine whose case of ter-
teary syphilis was surely killing him, and which
no treatment seemed to check, was entirely cured
With about twelve bottles of B. B. B. He was fairly
made up of skin and bones and terrible ulcers. ”

*W. I. Harris’ Latest Views as
to Prospects.
MIKE DALY.
May 17, 1887, he knocked Campbell, of
Philadelphia, senseless in six rounds.
June 15, 1887, he again met his old enemy,
Billy Frazier, for a purse of $500 at a Boston
club room, and knocked him senseless at the
beginning of the eighth round.
Daly then issued a challenge to the world,
and posted a forfeit to meet any light weight
living, but could not induce any one to fight.
His first meeting with McAuliffe was at
Music hall, Boston, during the winter of 1888.
It was for three rounds, and there was a con-
troversy over the result.
Daly’s last fight of note was with Jimmy
Carroll, of Holyoke, which ended in a draw,
after fifteen rounds of hot work.
Last summer McAuliffe visited friends in
Ranger, and met Daly at The Commercial
office for the purpose of arranging a match,
but they could not agree about the weighing
in. Daly wished to fight at 183 but McAuliffe
preferred to be a middle weight and the
match fell through.
Mr. Steinitz, the chess player, considers Mr.
Tchigorin the greatest living expert in the
Evans gambit.
with so much waste action cduld carry his
dip and go so fast, while others predicted
that he would soon break down, but the
horse’s wonderful physical powers have stood
in such good stead that he has lowered his
record each year, and is today probably
faster than ever.
At Mock Farm, near Danville, Ky., Prince
Wilkes was bred, his sire being Red Wilkes
by George Wilkes out of Queen Dido by
Mambrino Chief, and his dam was Rose
Chief by Brown Chief, a grandson of Blood’s
Black Hawk, a sire descended from Justin
Morgan. Prince Wilkes was purchased as a
weanling by George A. Singerly, and he was
taken to Ashland Park farm, near Lexington,
for his early education. He made his first
appearance on the turf in 1885 during the
Breeders’ meeting, when he won the Blue
Grass stakes for 4-year-olds, in straight heats,
time, 2:29, 2:28K, 2:27, distancing one of his
two competitors in the first heat. The next
year he entered the Grand Circuit at Roches-
ter in the 2:27 class, and lowered his record
to 2:20J^. At Hartford he started in the
$10,000 stake, where he won third money to
Oliver K. and Belle F. in that sensational
contest of the five fastest heats ever trotted.
In this race Prince Wilkes was the contend-
ing horse in the last three heats, finishing
close up to Oliver K. in the third and fourth
miles, and in the fifth had the big bay flyer
beaten at the distance stand, when his driver
made the mistake of touching him with the
whip, when he lost his stride. This enabled
Oliver EL, though very tired, to get first to
the wire.
Prince Wilkes did not start again that sear
son, but in 1887 he took part in seven races,
winning six of them, and lowering his record
to 2:16 in a match against Belle Hamlin at
Lexington, which he won in straight heats,
and landed about $20,000 for his backers.
The gelding had distemper the eai’ly part of
that year, which prevented his being trained
until late. He entered the grand circuit at
Utica, and won there and at Albany. He
again contended for the Charter Oak stake at
Hartford, where he met the great young
stallion Patron, who had trotted that spring
in 2:14J£, the fastest stallion record for that
age. Prince Wilkes was not in perfect form,
and did not get settled to his usual speed till
the last half of the third heat, when he vyas
sent off behind and made a break at the first
turn. He closed up on Patron in the last half
mile, which he trotted in 1:05%, while Patron
went the same distance in 1:08, the mile being
in 2:18. After winning other races in the cir-
cuit, including the Free-for-all in St. Louis,
where he beat Harry Wilkes and J. Q.,
Prince Wilkes won the match against Belle
Hamlin, before referred to, and then retired
for the year.
Last season he trotted nine races and won
eight of them. He lowered his record of
2:14% at Cleveland, when he defeated Rosa-
lind Wilkes. His only defeat was at Buffalo,
when he was beaten by Guy. There was
some crookedness about this race. A few
weeks later Prince Wilkes defeated Cling-
stone at Chicago. At Detroit, Philadelphia,
Cleveland and Nashville he beat Patron.
This is an unprecedented record among
trotters, and entitles Prince Wilkes to be
called the monarch of campaigners.
Skedaddle.

daddle, chestnut, foaled in 1860, by imp.
Yorkshire, out of Magnolia (dam of Ken-
tucky, Daniel Boone, Gilroy, Victory, etc.),
by imp. Glencoe, her dam imp. Myrtle, by
Mameluke, out of Bobadilla, by Bobadil, etc.,

farm, Lexington, Ky. Her race for the
Great Post stakes will long be remembered by
tilrfmen, Here produce were: 1868, chest-

TACKEY.
We have here three fast trotters with
records of 2:22)^ or better from three differ-
ent sires out of the same mare. But if we go
one step further her speed transmitting value
is more clearly demonstrated. In 1879 she
produced, by Happy Medium, the gray stall-
ion Pilot Medium. Although only 10 years
old, this young sire has to his credit Qirflue,
2:28%, at 3 years old; Lady Bullion, 2:21%,
at 4 years old; Sack, 2:19%, at 5 years old,
and Knight, 2:29%. Tackey is certainly one
of the most remarkable of that brilliant band
of brood mares which call Pilot, Jr., their sire.
The Brood Mare Tackey.
The accompanying cat represents tne fa-
mous brood mare Tackey, a speed performer
herself and a reproducer of extreme speed tc
the second and third generation. Tackey
was by the phenomenal sire of brood mares,
Pilot, Jr., and her dam was Jenny Lind, by
Bellfounder. Tackey was foaled thirty yean
ago, and was bred by C. G. McHatton, of St.
Louis. At St. Louis, on June 18,1866, she
trotted against John A. Logan and Frank,
defeating them in straight hfeats in 2:34%.
2:32% and 2:38%. On June 26 she met Piloi
Temple, John A. Logan and Nabocklish, and
was again victorious in 2:28%, 2:28 and
2:29%.
In September, 1867, she met Silas Rich,
Molly Fearless and Dixie, and was again the
victor.
Her time was 2:30%, 2:29% and 2:26. With
this excellent record she was sent to thp stud.
By Gooding’s Champion she produced in 1876
the bay filly Naiad Queen, which proved to
be a fast and game campaigner, and obtained
a record of 2:20%. In 1878 she produced Pilot
Boy, by Major Lucas. In 1886 Pilot Boy
trotted to a record of 2:20. In 1881 she had a
gray colt by Warwick Boy, called Class
Leader, and in 1887 he trotted in 2:22%.
Record of the Champion lightweight of
the World.
Mike Daly was born in Bangor, Me., on
April Fool’s day, 1865.
He has fooled a great many of his brother
pugilists since then.
When in condition he weighs 133 pounds.
He is 5 feet 7 in height.
He belongs to a family of nine—eight boys
and one girl.
Mike’s first appearance before the public
was at Norombega hall, Bangor, for-a medal
and purse, on which occasion he knocked out
Martin Daly in seven rounds.
His second contest was with Marcellus
Baker, of Boston, formerly of Bangor, who
was easily whipped in three rounds, and who
afterward declared that he would rather
stand behind an army mule and spar than
before Mike Daly.
John Daly, Mike’s brother, sent for him to
name to Holyoke, Mass., to take lessons of
one .Timmy Car roll. When the men met it
was seen that Carroll could not teach Daly
anything, and in a contest was easily defeated
by his pupil.
On March 26, 1885, Daly met Billy Frazier,
a well known Somerville fighter, at Norom-
bega hall and the result was declared a draw.
On May 9, 1885, he easily bested Ben Chan-
dler, of Providence, in a setto at his gymna-
sium, which he opened in Bangor with his
brother John, gaining seven knock downs.
After meeting Ben Chandler he sparred
five rounds for scientific points with Billy
Frazier, which contest was declared a draw,
although Daly won the more points.
During fair week the same year Daly met
La Blanche, “the Marine,” and other good
men, but was never defeated.
At St. John, N. B., the following winter,
he knocked out McMannus, of Lowell, a
middle weight of 164 pounds. Daly weighing
only 133 pounds at the time. McMannus was
carried from the hall helpless.
At St. John, Gibbons, the middle weight
of New Jersey, weighing 170 pounds, shared
the same fate.
During a contest in Boston, with Jimmie
Mitchell, of Philadelphia, Daly broke his
hand while delivering one of his powerful
blows and the fight was’declared a draw.
■Timmy Mecham, the light weight cham-
pion of Minnesota, then undertook to win
$200 and the gate receipts from Daly in Ban-
gor, but was knocked down no less than eight
times, and when the contest was over was de-
void of sight.
Daly then tackled McDonald, of Augusta,
who weighed 160 pounds, finishing that gen-
tleman in three rounds.
However, Anson May Wrest Victory from ;
the Jaws of Unlikelihood—A General
View of the Situation at the Opening of
the Season.
A week brings many changes. Last week
I thought there were five clubs licensed to
win the league championship. Now I am
inclined to count the Chicago team as being
out of it so far as first place is concerned. Of
course one must not forget that the greatest
of all baseball captains will be at the helm
for the Chicagos, and that all things are pos-
sible to a team where Anson is the leader, but
although he is the Napoleon of baseball the
odds seem too great for him to win. With
Daly and Tener out of condition and Ed
Williamson on the sick list, and with a team
no stronger than he had last year, opposed to
four such aggregations as Pittsburg, Phila-
delphia, Boston and New York can this
year marshal, Anson will do well
if he captures fourth place. If he does bet-
ter than that, without re-enforcements in the
box and behind the bat, he will achieve the
greatest triumph of his career. That he will
start out with his usual bluff, “We will win
the pennant, sure,” no one who knows Anson
■will doubt; but in their form the Chicagos,
unless Williamson’s injury shall prove less
Serious than it appears, and Daly’s arm re-
gains its cunning, are out of it. If the unex-
pected, which happens so frequently in base-
ball, should knock out some of the main props
of Boston, New York and Philadelphia,
Spalding’s pets might carry off the prize, but
they have so many props that such an event
as the disabling of enough of them to affect
the result is hardly to be anticipated.
A LITTLE COMPARISON.
A comparison of the New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg teams shows them
to be pretty well fixed for pitchers. The
Phillies are the worst off in this respect.
They have in Buffinton, Sanders and Casey
three tried men in the league. Pete Wood,
Gleason and Mitchell are somewhat in the
nature of experiments, but Wood and Gleason
may be counted on to do good service. New
York has four first class pitchers in Keefe,
Welch, Crane and Titcomb, with little George
to fall back on in an emergency. Boston’s
quartet are Clarkson, Radboura, Sowders
and Madden, while Pittsburg can show Gal-
vin, Morris, Pete Conway and Staley, with
several youngsters thrown in. Carefully
compared, I think it will be admitted
that New York has the strongest
pitching team of the four clubs. Be-
hind the bat Boston has the best of
it with Bennett, Ganzel and ■ Kelly. New
York has really only one great catcher. That
is Ewing. Without him the team would be
in a bad way. The Phillies are not much
better off with only one star—Clements—and
Pittsburg’s only Al catcher is Miller. Both
Philadelphia and Pittsburg have, however,
some promising youngsters. So far as field-
ing is concerned the four clubs are about
evenly balanced. At the bat, which, after
all, is the great thing, Boston and New York
are very nearly even, Boston having a slight
advantage. Philadelphia and Pittsburg com-
pare about the same way and both are infe-
rior to their two opponents. With Kelly,
Brouthers, Nash, Wise, Hardie, Richardson
and Johnston,Boston has seven terrific hitters.
Ewing, Connor, Tiernan, Ward, O’Rourke
and Slattery can hardly equal them and,
neither Philadelphia nor Pittsburg can touch
Boston’s big seven. All three of them can,
however, discount the Bostons in team work,
and that, other things being anywhere near
to equality, will balance Boston’s superior bat-
ting skill. New York, in addition, can put in
its superiority in the box. Taken all in all,
the four clubs are certainly pretty near to
being on an equality, and it may safely be
said that with fair luck—and both of them
have heretofore had so little of it that it is
safe to look for improvement in that line this
season—both Pittsburg and Philadelphia will
hold them own with their stronger batting
rivals. With teams so evenly matched luck
is a great factor and much depends on the
start. A very bad start for either Pittsburg
or Philadelphia will put them out of the
swim. A bad start will not affect Boston or
New York so much, for their great confidence
and heavy hitters may overcome the misfor-
tunes which may come in the first month of
the fight. Summed up, I should say the
chances of the four clubs stand about this
way: Boston even to take the pennant; New
York, 10 to 8 against; Philadelphia, 10 to 6
against; and Pittsburg, 10 to 5 against. This,
it must be understood, is merely figuring on
the strength of the teams as they look on
paper before a ball has been thrown in the
championship contest. Of course, any one of
the four clubs is liable to have a luck
streak which will give them a lead
almost impossible to overcome. This is par-
ticularly so of New York and Boston. Should
the Chicagos be able to start out with all
their men in good shape I should say their
chances are about equal to those of the Phil-
adelphia team. A month of play, however,
•will be a test, and no doubt these odds would
be somewhat changed, as a team’s paper
Strength often vanishes when the men get on
the field.
Never before, however, in the history of
the league have the teams been so near each
other in playing strength as they will be
when the battle begins April 24. Hence
paper calculations are worthy of more con-
sideration than ever before, and although I
expect to be criticised severely for counting
Chicago so lightly I believe my conclusions
to be based on good grounds and expect the
result to show that my judgement was not al-
together wrong. W. L Harris.

and issued in a form creditable to the

and on a double cylinder press. It will

and portraits of the most notable citizens.
The “souvenir” will be prepared and

Brilliant Career of the Champion
Trotting Horse of 1888.
Many lovers of the turf will regret that
such a noble horse as Prince Wilkes is to be
taken away from the United States. He has
been sold for $30,000 to a wealthy resident of
Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, South
America. Prince Wilkes is the champion
trotter of 1888, “laying away over” any of
the rest. Prince Wilkes is a chestnut geld-
ing 15.1 hands high, and is nearly eight years
old. He is a remarkably handsome animal,
and has four white ankles and a small star on
his forehead. His most noted physical char-
acteristics are the wonderful propelling pow-
ers of his hind legs and his resolute way of
trotting mile after mile without tiring. In
fact, so tremendous is the stride of these hind
legs that the fore legs have to be weighted to
keep time with them when under full head-
way.
