PALO ALTO STOCK FARM U' beyond question
the greatest of all the breeding farms established
for the production of the American trotter, but like
everything else it wiil some day be but a memory.
Senator Stanford had the advantage of a combination
of forces that are not possessed by the average breeder,
viz: brains and money. He had both and used them
well, add 'on Palo Alto Stock Farm has been founded
many, oi the present and more of the future greatest
trotting families. Every year, on the Pacific Coast
and through the Eastern circuits many horses trot or
pace themselves into prominence that were either bi e 1
on this great farm, sired by its stallions or produced
by its mares. There has never been an auction sale cf
Polo Alto stock but performers or producers have
been developed from the animals sold. It is such un-
disputable facts as these that lead me to make an
attempt to impress upon the minds of farmers and
horse breeders that the opportunity to get some of
this Palo Alto blood will not always be offered. In the
course of time the many thousands of acres which
belong to the Stanford Estate, and which have been
given to the great University founded by the late
Senator and his estimable wife, will be devoted to other
things than horse breeding, and the annual sales of
trotting bred stock will be but a thing of the past as
are already its sales of thoroughbreds. The wise horse
breeders and farmers of this country will therefore
embrace the few remaining opportunities that are
offered to secure possession of Palo Alto bred stock.
On Thursday, the 30th of January, this year, about
forty head of broodmares from the Palo Alto Farm
will be sold by William G. Layng at the Occidental
Horse Exchange in this city. There aremany grandly
bred and fine individuals among them. My advice to
farmers and others who have a place to keep a few of
these mares, is to attend the sale and purchase them.
It is the small breeder who has the advantage in rear-
ing colts, and a very large proportion of the champion
race horses were bred on other than the large stock
farms. Auction sales, like the one to be held this
month, give the small breeder an opportunity of secur-
ing at his own and a low price, blood and individuality
that has probably cost the big breeder many thousands
of dollars to proiuce. And the small breeder should
never allow these opportunities to escape him. I
would not advise any one to attend any sale and pur_
chase everything offered, but I believe that the pur-
chase by a farmer or small breeder of one or two of
these mares will be a paying investment in eight cases
out of ten if the aDimal and its produce are properly
handled. Forty broodmares will not supply the de-
mand that exists in California to-day, and the buyer
who gets one that is fairly bred and a good individual
will be fortunate. The catalogues have not yet been
issued and I do not know what forty of the several
hundred at Palo Alto are to be sold, but I know there
will be several future producers of extreme speed
among them, as the record of every past sale is proof
conclusive of this prediction.

not every district that can do this, but Petaluma,
Santa Rosa. Napa, Oakland, "Woodland, Stockton,
San Jose and Fresno can well afford to arrange for
high class fairs and good racing. If the proposed
revival amounts to anything it will begin to take form
this month. If not, the horsemen may as well make
up their minds to go up north or enter at Denver and
on through the East if they desire to race.

Since the racing of two year olds has become rather
unpopular, why should the season for breeding in
California close June 1st? Of course the man who
breeds with the idea of entering the foal in two and
three year old stakes wants the foal to come early that
he may have all the advantages of growth and train-
ing possible, but there are hundreds who send mares
to stallions every year who never expect to race the
produce, and there is no reason why colts foaled in the
summer or fall should not be as strong and vigorous
as spring colts if the mares are properly fed. The
alfalfa fields of the California valleys, and the late
green feed in the mountain districts enable mares pas-
tured on them to give as good a flow of milk as those
pastured on natural grasses during the spring. The
most rugged, stoutest and best campaigner that has
been seen in California for years is Sir Albert S. 2:08},
and the date of his foaling was June 21th. 1896, so that
bis dam did not have much chance at spring grass
when suckling him. Tnere are maDy cattle breeders
who claim that fall calves make a better growth than
spring calves in California as they are weaned in the
spring when green feed is abundant, while the early
spring calf is taken from its mother in the fall when
dry feed and cool weather during the winter cause it
to lose flesh instead of gaining it. A longer season for
stallions would enable them to serve a greater number
of mares. It might be a good idea to charge more
money for a spring service foe than for a fall fee, and
I believe this has been done with success in some
instances.

In the Holiday edition of the Breeder and Sports-
man it was stated that Mr. C. J. Hamlin of New York
and Mr. A. B. Spreckels of California were the only
men who had bred two trotting mares that had ob-
tained records better than 2:10. This statement is
true as regards men, but when breeding farms are
considered Palo Alto will have \o be added to the list,
as from its paddocks have come Sunol 2:08} and Eleata
2:08}. The latter was bred at Palo Alto, but after the
death of Senator Stanford.

There is a rumor to the effect that some time dur-
ing the next three w^eks several of the district agri-
cultural associations of California will announce dates
ror their fairs and race meetings of 1002. I hope the
rumor is true, and that the long-looked-for "move" on
the part of these associations will materialize. There
are four or five districts that I know will be in line.
Secretary Bell of Napa tells me that his district will
hold a fair, no matter whether any other district does
or not, and that good-sized purses will be given. The
Napa Board is only waiting for the Governor to fill a
few vacancies in its body, and as soon as the appoint-
ments are made they will meet and arrange a program
and announce it. The date they want is August 11th
to 16th and their purses will be from $500 to $700.
Woodland will give a fair to a certainty: Concord,
Contra Costa county, will be in line, and Oakland,
Stockton, Hauford, Salinas, Hollister and Los Angeles
will all give meetings, while the State Fair will make
an effort this year to beat all former records. An
effort is to be made to arrange a main circuit of five
or six different districts that will be able to give purses
of not less than $500 and some as high as '"lOOO. It is

Directors of district associations who look with dis
trust upon the offering of large purses this year, as has
been suggested by many of the leading horsemen of
California, should not get the idea that the request is
for large purses clear through the program. No asso-
ciation should offer a ceDt more than it can afford to
give, and a $300 purse that is paid is better than one
of $1000 that is unpaid. But every association can
afford to give at least a couple of good sized stakes,
one for trotters and the other for pacers, and if a half
dozen of the principal districts will open two early
closing stakes of $1000 each, there is no doubt but they
will fill, aid greatly in filling all the other races on the
program and do much to make the circuit of 1902 an
assured success. These stakes should be announced
not any later than February 1st, and should close by
March 1st with three or four small payments, leaving
the bulk of the entrance money to be paid at the start.
In all probability stakes for 2:30 trotters and 2:25 pacers
will fill with the largest number of entries, but there
are faster classes than these that will fill so well that
they will cost the association giving them but very
little money.

Matinee Racing at Los Angeles.

There was perfect weather at Los Angeles on Christ-
mas Day and over three thousand people turned out
to enjoy the racing furnished by members of the Driv-
ing Club of that city at Agricultural Park. Six races
were on the card. In the second race in which there
were four starters great interest was manifested as the
horses were all fast and were to be driven by their
owners. Mr. Geo. W. Ford won in straight heats with
his stallion, Neernut, both heats being in 2:17 flat.
The McKinney mare. Sweet Marie, was piloted by her
new owner, Wm. Garland, who paid $3150 a few days
before at the Potter sale, but third was the best she
could do.

In the double team race Mr. Byron Erkenbrecher
won handily with Floretta Belle and Hanford Medium,
and it is thought these pacers will be able to pole in
2:20 with more training.

Mr. E. T. Earl won the second heat of the fifth race
with his new purchase, Sweetheart, and although
unable to win the race drove the fastest quarter shown
during the afternoon— 31} seconds. Mr. Mosher won
the race with his mare, Scappoose, reducing her
record from 2:16} to 2:15.1 in the first heat.

During the afternoon the Driving Club presented
Mrs. Florence E. Chandler, the secretary of the club,
with a handsome silver-mounted pocketbook in token
of their appreciation of her work for the club during
the past year.

The mare Elloree 2:08} by Axtell 2:12 is dead. She
was sold at the Marcus Daly sale in New York recently
for $2600 and purchased by Mr. Malcolm Forbes, who
intended breeding her to Bingen 2:06-1. Her dam was
by Robert McGregor. Mr. C. W. Williams, of Inde-
pendence, Iowa, bred Elloree and campaigned her two
or three years, giving her a record of 2:11.1. She was
then sold and campaigned by Geo Saunders and
reduced her record to 2:08} in 1899. She was one of
the gamest and best race mares in the country and
one of the handsomest in conformation. Her record
was made in the fourth heat of a race where she de-
feated Tommy Britten, Cresceus, Pilatus, Belle J.,
Battleton, Caracalla, Gayton, Monterey and Oakland
Baron. She won the fourth, fifth and sixth heats of
this race, Tommy Britton having captured the first
and second and Cresceus the third. The fourth heat
was the fastest of the race. She had two or three
foals by Atherton, one of them, Jeffrey, having a rec-
ord of 2:27}: Her weanling by Prodigal brought $1200
at the Daly dispersal sale last month.

S. J. Dnnlop, who for many years was a Southern
Pacific conductor is now located at Hanford, Tulare
county, in the livery business and has his stallion
Strathway, sire of Toggles 2:08}, and others there.
Mr. Dunlop writes that Strathway is limited to sixty
mares this year and fifty-three have already been
booked, so that he will be turning mares away before
the season really opens. Strathway, with the proper
opportunities, will be one of the greatest producing
stallions in the country. His get nearly all go fast as
soon as placed in training.

Lawson Boosts the Trotter.

In describing his new farm, Dreamwold, and in tell-
ing what he intends doing there, T. W. Lawson pays
the following tribute to the trotter:

"We all know what the American trotter can do for
speed, but if any one has any doubt what he can do
for beauty and style let me remind him that I have in
my stables at the present time at least twenty Ameri-
can bred trotting stock, short tail horses, any one of
which can beat anybody's horse in the world in tho
show ring, and I believe I can with any one of forly
out-style any other horse in the show ring unless he is
trotting bred, and at the same time I will not have a
show horse in the stable that is not intelligent enough
to be driven upon the city streets any day in the year
in ordinary gear and without a check rein of any kind,
by any of the grown members of my family. Really,
is this not a tremendous statement to make, and does
it not show the possibilities of the American trotter?
Think of any one of my ten or twelve stallions that
bound into the show ring with all the fire and dash of
high bred, young — for most of them a-e four to seven
years old — stallion life, and then think that they are
driven each day upon the city streets by amateur family
drivers: and one word more and I will cease blowing
the horn of the grandest of all the grand animal king-
dom, the American horse:

"I sent Glorious Red Cloud into probably the great-
est horse show the world _has ever seen — at least a
show with the largest number of nearly perfect car-
riage horses the world has ever seen — two years after
he had won the championship, and beat everything
hands down. Think what there must be in a breed
that can go into retirement for two years and then
beat the best of them, and look at Lord Brilliant year
after year beating all comers. I tell you the American
trotting horse is tlie horse for any spot or place, and he
is what I am going to try and 'raise' in all his many
moods and varieties at Dreamwold."

A Strong Condemnation of Heat Betting.

There have been many articles written and published
showing the evils of heat betting as conducted by
bookmakers, but noDe that have gone to the point or
hit harder than the following from the pen of the well
known bookmaker and poolseller, E. R. Lowry, who
is known all over the United States, having sold pools
on races from Maine to California. Mr. Lowry *s article
was written for the New York Trotter and Pacer and
appeared in the last issue of that excellent journal.
It is as follows:

"I have no desire to break into the ranks of the turf
critics, but the "hoss" papers are just now devoting
considerable space to a subject that is very near to my
heart, inasmuch as it has won for me a heap of abuse
from the other side, and until the present moment I
have never noticed that my ten years' denunciation of
heat bookmaking was having any other effect than to
get me very much disliked by the Knights of the
Chalk and exponents of Old Shylock's percentage card
and grand lesson in usury, and while I have been tem-
porarily retired from active participation in the game,
I am tickled to see influential, |broad -minded men,
who are interested from the breeders' standpoint, come
out and condemn the pernicious system which has
carried more depreciation of values to the stock farms
of America than it ever donated to the cappers of
racing associations; moreover, if you will but take the
trouble to interview the first half dozen square men
who are to-day campaigning horses you will find that
the "Harness Game" is suffering worse from what is
popularly known as "the 200 percent, cinch," "Capper"
a*nd "Copper off" system than ever before, and present
indications point to an inclination to make it general
by lease or ownership,

'I want to go on record as saying now that the
question has become a burning one. There are 30
heats laid up for coin of the realm to one for the im-
provement of chances of winning; and always will be
as long as the opportunity is offered to make more
money dropping a heat or two than the whole season's
salary amounts to or than first money (which is never
sure). Let it be distinctly understood that I speak by
the card, as I booked for five years continuously my-
self after my services were no longer acceptable to the
opulent race managers, who didn't like my system-

'"'I still claim, and always will, that the auction and
mutual mode of betting, where public money makes
the price — when fairly and honestly conducted — is the
only system of handling the public's money on harness
races, and the only plan that protects the public against
underhanded methods by allowing them to see just
where and when the money is being played. Look at
it squarely and let the objectors have their say.

"If you, in selling the auction pools, sell the horses
out singly, as long as the owner or the public want to
play them singly you provide a popular game. But
when you deprive the owner or the public of such op-
portunity by forcing them to take an entire field in a
race to play their choice or entry you deny them their
rights, consequently your game is unpopular. There
should be a rule substituted for the old one which
reads, "Evidence by affidavit will be held sacred," to
read: The acceptance by a pool seller of a commission
to place money on the field against any horses, whether
successfully executed or not, shall be considered con-
clusive evidence of wrong doing, and the penalty shall
be expulsion. If such a rule had been in force the
past twenty years, say from Loretta F.'s case and
down the line, what a lot of value depreciation the
breeders would have escaped!

"Then, again, instead of the line of students of 'Shy-
lock's percentage card,' if heat betting is to be per-
mitted, give us the only system devised where public
money makes the price and where, by giving the
public a chance to see just bow the money is placed,
you afford them the best protection you can offer-
Not the old split-and-rob system, with simply the word
of the man who destroys the evidence and gives you
what he likes, but an open, square, up-to-date system
on an unquestionable basis and where the public can
see if the prominent horses are getting the proper
support and where you are not refused if you want to
make a bet and where there is no incentive to use your
monoy to have tbe horse you have bet on lay up the
heat. Figure the pool on a large blackboard above
the heads of the people where all can see and conduct
the business in a manner to win and maintain the con-
fidence of the most suspicious, and that means 100 per
cent, of the patrons of the average trotting meetings,
where the 'bookies' are permitted to operate as they
please now in these days, when we have a round dozen
millionaires campaigning the representative stables,
who will step into the betting ring and wager more
money on their entries than all the bandy-legged, sure-
thing men of bygone days put together, Really, I am
ashamed to guess how much could be handled, but I
can conscientiously say — and I believe every sensible,
honest man who reads this article will agree with me —

that the atmosphere would be so free from the ever
present suspicion that he wouldn't recognize the game,
and those gentlemen who the past season quit when the
campaign was half over and shipped their great strings
home through sheer disgust at the prevailing methods
would r jturn and contribute that support the harness
game can illy afford to lose. Put the 'heat book' in
the pile with the old red and black wheel and the other
handicaps the harness game has had saddled on to it
and give intelligent men a chance to play their horses
in an intelligent and fair manner just '•net and you will
see the sport step forward in response to the impetus
which progressive men are string to give it until it will
amaze you. But, as Friend McKinney says, it will be
necessary for a few more associations to have personal
representatives at the Turf Congress. A curtailing of
the proxy evil or, like the annual prayer the Board of
Stewards of the Grand Circuit sends up, for active
representation on the parent boards of review, you
will find when the bell rings and the blue birds whistle
the same old rules, the same old faces and the same old
heat buying aggregation will be to the fore. The same
old collar for the harness games'sneck at the same old
stand. You hear those yells. Yours on races and not
on heats, for fair sport and open betting."

_ E. R. Lowry.

The Old Rocking Horse.

Battered and bruised and worn and old,

Bereft of its maue and tail,
A veteran charger, staunch and bold,

He has weathered life's fierce gales.

The hero of many a gallant raid,

la many a bloodless war,
A soldier of fortune, undismayed,

By battle and wound and scar!

'Neath the guiding touch of a little hand

He has traveled many a mile
Through the wonderful realms of " Playlike Land,"

Where the spirits of Fancy smile.

But, strange to say, in his boldest Sight,

Though he halted or rested not
Through all his travels by day and night —

He has stood in the self-same spot.

He was ridden far, he was ridden hard,

He has borne fierce brunts and blows.
And oft has felt, as a sweet reward,

A kiss on his worn-out nose.

And though he is rather the worse for wear,

And crippled and scarred and old.
In the eyes of his master he still is fair

And worth his weight in gold.

— Exchange.

Advice to Breeders.

The first great thing in the horse business to remem-
ber is that good stock always brings the top price, and
when you find a breeder that has made a success he
will tell you that it has been accomplished by the
better breeding. Many of the chronic grumblers, and
there are many in the horse business, predict that
"horses will soon go down again, after a short time, or
just as soon as people goto breeding again." Don't
you give this a minute's thought for horses will be
well up in price for the next decade. What is needed
is to breed quality, breed them still better; breed them
larger; breed them of a higher class; breed the market
horse and breed every horse strictly to his class. In
ordor to breed horses for export they must be strictly
first class in every respect. There is a difference be-
tween the export classes and the general American
demand, and the former demands a trifle higher quality
— an animal that is free from blemishes. According
to a noted western dealer there are five separate and
distinct classes of export and market animals, and he
thus describes them:

Class No. 1. Road, carriage and coach horses must
be of good color, well bred, fifteen and a half to sixteen
hands; plenty of style and action, with fine heads and
necks; plenty of bone and substance, short backs,
smooth hips, round in the barrel, with a well sprung
rib. Must have a good gait and be a good traveler.
The more action and speed the better, and, above all,
must be a straight line mover, without swinging the
feet in or out, but the action and movement should be
graceful. This class has advanced very much in price,
and was never so high in American markets as they
are to-day. There is no limit to the price if they are
of good, high quality, and will range all the way from
$150 to $1000 per head. In case of alack of trotting
bred stallions to produce this class, the French coach
horse can be crossed with the trotting bred mares with
extremely favorable results. It is the opinion of the
best breedors and horsemen that this will prove a very
good cross, and have the tendency to increase the size
of our American horses. It is believed, too, that this
class will not only increase the size, but will add largely
to fixing the type of the carriage and coach horse>
that shall possess size, quality, action and style, and
still retain the road qualities required, as every harness
horse should be well bred in order to stand the wear
and tear of hard work upon city pavements.

Class No. 2. Cab horse, rather blocky, weigh about
1050 pounds, stands fifteen and a fourth hands high;
smooth made, with bone and substance, fair traveler.
This class of horses is very salablo for many purposes,

but there are always plenty in the market, and too
plenty to be a profitable class to raise. But they
always sell readily at what they are worth.

Class No. 3. An omnibus horse is a blocky, smooth
made horse, very rugged, with lots of substance and
plenty of bone; must shape himself well in harness,
good action, with a straight line movement, stand
fifteen and a fourth to fifteen and three-fourths high,
weigh from 1200 to 1400 pounds. This class of horse
includes the quality, not only of the omnibus horse,
but an express and general use horse. The English
use the more blocky, lower set ones for 'busses, while
the larger ones are used for express and general use.
This is a class of horses in the strongest demand in all
American and foreign markets, and sell from $12". to
$150. They can be produced best by a cross between
the draft horse and smaller mare that is a grade or
roadster bred. This horse must be active and rugged
with easy movements.

Class No. 4. The draft horse should weigh from
1500 to 2200 pounds; blocky made, heavy bone, with
smooth finish, good quality and action, and a first
class draft horse in every respect. The present price
is from $150 to $350, and the best specimens sell even
as high as $400. This class is one of the most salable,
and finds ready sale in domestic and foreign markets.
They should be produced from the best heavy draft
mare, of good quality, crossed with the best heavy
draft horse of high quality, regardless of what partic-
ular breed of the draft horse he may be, as long as he
possesses all the qualifications of the draft horse.
This class of horse is very scarce in all the markets
and they are steadily increasing in prices, and great
inducements are offered to produce them.

Class No. 5. The American trotter in all cases must
be a high bred trotting horse, with good bone and
substance, high finish, good style, action and disposi-
tion and the more speed he has the higher price he
will bring, ranging in price from $200 to $10,000,
according to his quality, size and what he can do. All
horses for export and domestic markets should be
sound and without blemish, as far as possible.

Onward.

Not only does Onward, with his nine 2:10 performers
to his credit lead all sons of George Wilkes as a 2:10
sire, but he leads all sires to date, and the Onward
family includes more 2:10 performers than does any
other branch of the George Wilkes familyt says West-
ern Horseman. This showing by Onward gives some
idea of how far wrong even m^ny well meaning and
well posted horsemen may go in selecting a young
stallion as a future great sire. It is no secret among
horsemen that Onward, when a young horse, was held
in contempt by many Kentucky breeders, and that it
was nothing unusual to hear him referred to as "Bob
Pepper's bull." He was growthy, rather coarse and
phlegmatic, and, until he made a decided reputation
as a sire, had but one real advocate and admirer, and
that was his owner, the late Col. R. P. Pepper. Col.
Pepper believed in Onward from the very date of his
birth and bought him at the first opportunity. His
faith in Onward very nearly made a pauper of Col.
Pepper at one time, but, a few years later, it made
him a rich man. While talking on this subject, Col.
Pepper once said to the writer: "In the spring of
1887 it looked like I was hopelessly busted financially,
but my faith in Onward never wavered, and I con-
tinued to borrow a few dollars from this one and that
one, and finally got 'out to the races' with a few On"
ward youngsters. Onward put seven in the list that
season, and in October I sold $58,000 worth of his get."
Thus, in a single seasoo, Onward made rich his owner,
whom he had previously led up to the very brink of
bankruptcy. The great three year old filly, Houii
made her debut that year, and secured a record of
2:19^. Acolyte (later sold for $40,000), also a three
year old, took a record of 2:30 and Linnette and Motor,
two other three years olds, also took records of 2:29}
and 2:291, respectively, the other standard performers
for Onward that season being Onslaught (4) 2:28*,
Counsellor 2:24 and Emulation 2:29J. Like a meteor
Onward appeared in the constellation of great speed
sires, and, with the constancy of the orb of day,
he continues to shine with regularly increasing bril-
liancy. He leads the world as a sire of 2:30 performers,
of 2:20 performers and of 2:10 performers, and his
descendants make up the aristocratic "400" of the
equine race as record holders.

J. M. Alviso's fast pacer, Rey del Diablo 2:23}, that
took his record as a two year old, will be one of the
money winners this year if raced. He was gelded last
year and turned out and has filled out wonderfully.
He should be one of the fastest five year olds of 1902
as he has a tremendous burst of speed and is as game
as a pebble. Alviso has begun jogging him at Pleas-
anton.

History Makers of San Bernardino County.

San Bernardino, Dec. 23, 1901.
The children and coHs of this county are to he its
history makers. Wise public instructors and philan-
thropists are bending every energy to place our schools
and scholarship on an equality with the best in Amer-
ica; they are a close second at present and in another
decade will have gained the coveted position.

Those interested in horses are pursuing the same
intelligent course regarding the rearing of colts in-
tended to make horse history: they are receiving the
care and kind attention of men who have planned their
lives and destiny for them: the environments of these
youngsters are well calculated to develop them into
the greatest expectations of their owners. Our towns-
man Wm. Rourke, the breeder of Hazel Kinney 2:091
and her dam Baby's Gift, has two great prospects so
far as high form is concerned, and in breeding they
are the equal of any. The first is by Stam B. 2:1U.
, dam Hazel Kinney 2:091; the writer does not know of a
colt (trotting bred) in the State having such a speed
inheritance. The second one owned by Mr. Rourke is
a yearling by Zombro 2:11 out of the dam of Hazel
Kinney 2:0.11. She :s a perfect filly in gait, color, size
and disposition. Mr. Rourke does not intend to stop
with these, as he has already sent the dam of Hazt^
Kinney 2:09] to the harem of McKinney 2:11]. Mr.
James Campbell, the blacksmith who puts 2:10 shoes
on all the trolters entering his shop, has two very
promising colts by Zombro out of a Clay mare of great
beauty and endurance. Mr. Johnson, our County
Recorder, has a tine colt by Zombro out of an Almont
mare. Mr. James Murry has two very fine colts by
Hillsdale 2:15 out of a mare nearly thoroughbred. Mr.
Breeckman has a yearling by Zombro 2:11 and one by
Zolock 2:10} out of mares by Raymond 2:21 by Sim-
mons. Mr. H. B. Smith, of Colton, has a grand filly
by Zombro 2:11 out of Alta Rena 2:27 as a three year
old, with trial of 2:12 as a five year old. Our druggist,
Dr. White, has a filly by Zolock out of a mare very
highly bred in thoroughbred that is a duplicate of its
sire except as to color. Dr. W. T. Orme, veterinary
surgeon, is the owner of two very fine fillies hy Zolock;
one out of a mare by Will Crocker, bred by M. M.
Potter, of Los Angeles: the other out of Belinda, the
dam of Roan Wilkes, 2:12| at three years of age. Mr.
Hopkins has a very rangy colt by Zombro out of a
mare by Maximillian, he by Echo; second dam thor-
oughbred. Mr. Hoyt has a very promising young
animal by Neernut, dam a thoroughbred mare which
is very nicely gaited, showing quarters and halves at
a 2:30 gait and better. S. B Wright, of Colton, the
owner of Harry Madison 2:27, is the possessor of a fine
filly by Zolock; this fiily took the first prize as a year-
ling at the Twenty-eighth Agricultural District Fair
last season. There is a colt of good promise here sired
bj» Lottery, he by Electioneer, Lottery's dam the
great race mare Texana thoroughbred. The first dam
of this colt is Chalmoogre by Keno R. 2:18, he by
Magic, he by Elmo; second Jam by Berlin, third dam
not traced. This colt, although out of pasture only
seven weeks, shows quarters trotting in 39.] seconds.
His trainer, Mr. John Donohue (or as he is often called,
Whispering Johnny), has a large string of youngsters
in charge — his record as a trainer is constantly grow-
ing better, as he never breaks down or has a lame
colt or horse. The race track at this place will soon
be remodelled entirely as to buildings, track, water
privileges, etc., and we hope by next season to follow
Los Angeles in a race meeting that will equal any ever
held in Southern California. The list of owners c-f
well bred colts might be extended to at least three
times the number given and I would say those men-
tioned are no better than the unmentioned ones here-
abouts. Later I will tell you something of the speed
prospects of our Zombro and Zolock colts.

Mount Versos, N. Y., June 19, 1901.

ih-. S. -1. T'l/ift— Dear Sir: I have used your Elixir Tor some
time— that is, the veterinary— and have bought dozens of it, and
use it for leg and body wash on my horses and for household pur-
poses also. I have been troubled with intestine indigestion my-
self, and can't seem to find anything that helps me: have been
doctoring with the best doctors here, and the other day I was
working my horses at the Empire City Track and had it so bad
that I could hardly sit on the sulky, and when I got home I took
half a teaspoonful of the Elixir in a glass of hot water, and an-
other in about an hour, and it fixed me up all O.K. I thought that
perhaps the Veterinary Elixir was not made to take, but thought
if it would not kill a horse it wouldn't kill me. So I took it and it
fixed me up all right. I use it for everything. Last spring my
wife had some fine Barred Plymouth Rock chickens, and they had
the roup. I thought they would die anyway, so I gave them a
spoonful of the Elixir and wet their heads with it, and expected
that would flx them, and to our astonishment we never lost one of
them, so you see I think it is a good thing. The only thing it has
failed to do forme is: I have a stallion by Electricity 2:l?i4, and I
used it on him for a bad curb, and it didn't seem to do the" job on
that. If I could flx that up on him, I could slip him in 2:10 sure.
Perhaps I haven't used it right. If you have anything in the way
of special directions I wish you would give them to me. There is
no one here that sells the Elixir You can send me a half dozen
bottles of the Family Elixir and one dozen of the Veterinary. If
you will give me the wholesale price on it, I will order a number
oft'jzen of it, aDd sell it here. You can send it by express C. O. D
if vou like, or send me a bill, and I will send check for same

An Uncrowned King.

Lo! and behold!
An uncrowned king in embryo:
A lean, lank, leggy two-year-old.
Sans shape, sans flesh, sans everything—
But pedigree;

A blooded son of blooded sire.
Begot from dam who spurned the earth
With scornful feet;
Each one a mint for golden coin
As yard by yard in frenzied speed
She left the* post behind-
The surge of victories won
By sire and dam
Is in my blood.

A constant spur which laughs a Way
The sodden miles
Of track and turf

Which bid me welcome in the days to come.
The future :It" am I,
The coming king,
Anonarch. potentate.
Ruler by the right Divine:
A "cinch." a "sure thing"
And a golden calf

For shrieking throngs who hail me winner.
This am I—
A coming favorite,
At the post;

With countless wires stretched ahead-
Each one a jewel for my coming crown.
My world a homestretch,
E'en a golden path
With emerald fields
And grandstands
Rife with maddened hordes.
Who greet my coming
And who urge me past
To victory won
And triumphs held in store,
In long, unbroken sequence.
This I am—
A two year old.
A thing of blood and breeding,
The joy of owners,
Trainers, stable boys and touts,
A name to conjure with,
To deck a program.
Or to grace in ink the restless pens
Of dai!y scribes

Who build me monuments of praise
For eager eyes to grave
On memories

Rich with stored tradition
Of former kings dethroned.
The cry, the shout, the joyous scream
Is mine

From raving crowds
Who voice in gladdened tones
The fulsome praise
Which rends the air
And sends it forth in echoing waves.
Which tells my name
Anear and far

And spurs the lightning e'en
To quicker throbs
Of pent up effort in i ts mad desi re
To name me winner
Over all the land.
All this am I,
A child of destiny
And a two year old. — Prim* r.

will never be produced too numerously. Owing to the
obstacles in the way of producing such a horse, and
the unusual difficulties in preparing it for the market
this production will never be the work of the genera
farmer; but there are a great many who are fond of
horses and haue the facilities to produce them of this
type at a large profit.

If one situated in this way will observe some care in
the selection of mares, seeing that they have the high
and knee-folding action of the coach horse, together
with the fulness of type which is desirable, and breed
such a mare to a horse possessing the same character-
istics, there is very little uncertainty about the colt
developing into a horse suitable for harness work.

When ready for market such a horse may be sold
quicker, and often with more profit, than one of any
other type. With the general run of farmers draught
horses are without question the most profitable, but
where mares of the kind mentioned have been secured
and bred to stallions possessing the characteristics
described, there certainly is a very large field for profi-
able production by those having inclinations in this
direction. — The Homestead.

Influence of Horse Shows.

Wthin recent years the development of horse shows,
East, West, North and South, has become remarkable.
Having their greatest encouragement in the East they
gradually spread to the larger Western cities, and
they have now become so prevalent as to be annual
events in the cities of all sections. It is generally
thought that these are merely fashionable events,
intended fot the display and recreation of those having
little to do with the active business of life, but a deeper
study of the subject will show that these exhibitions
have a marked influence on the development of our
horse breeding interests.

When the racing calendar was established some
hundreds of years ago, running horses were given an
impetus which, in turn, reacted on the thoroughbred
horse to such a degrae as to make it, without excep-
tion, the leading breed of horses, and thus untold good
was accomplished for the thoroughbred interests.
Later, with the establishment of trotting races earlier
in the century, and the publication of the Year Book
giving the records made, the trotting horse was
brought to the front, and as a result occupies at this
time a more prominent place among the breeds of our
light horses.

The horse shows seem to offer the same stimulus to
the harness race that has been given to the others.
The horse show as it is conducted becomes an object
lesson to the people of cities who use horses as to the
proper appointments and the right type of a horse
that should go with them.

Two or three successful horse shows in a city are
usually sufficient to start the improvement. It leads
some one who has a preference for horses of this kind
to invest in an unusually attractive pair, which in turn,
stimulates the emulation of other lovers of horses, and
in the course of a year or so the character of the
equipages of the city become markedly changed for
the better. This has been noticed in a great many
cases, and invariably follows properly conducted shows.

While these results, at first consideration, do not
seem to have direct application to the horse industry
of our farmers, yet they materially stimulate the pro-
duction of a high class harness horse throughout the
country. These horses which have come to the city
as a result of the horse show have been secured by the
dealers, who have spent some time in training and
mannering them for city use. The dealers, in turn,
have bought them from the farmers, and it seems rea-
sonable to suppose that, with the increasing demand
for this type of horse, there must follow a better price.

To raise the harness horse up to the point where he
is ready to go into the dealer's hands will require the
best knowledge of a horseman, and consequently it

Training of War Horses.

The main difficulty in training a war horse is to
accustom the animal to the thunder of firearms. A
horse that can be quickly trained to the roar of can-
non and musketry is an acquisition which instructors
know how to appreciate. You hear people talk glibly
enough nowadays of supplying our troops in the East
with plenty of remounts, and it's quite evident from
the remarks they make that they imagine they need
only to lasso a few thousand wild horses in Texas, ship
them off to Manila and — voilo! our soldiers are re-
mounted. Although most horses can be quickly
trained to face the most withering fire, many are very
difficult to convince that a tremendous noise is not
necessarily a signal of danger, while some never can be
taught to ignore the rattle of musketry.

Your correspondent has had the pleasure ot visiting
the farm of a trainer of war horses, situated in the
wilds of Texas. In afield adjoining the stables I found,
ranged in a circle ready for instruction, some three
dozen fine horses, including a few splendid chestnuts
The instructor stood in the center of the circle, with
the horses facing him, gave the signal to the attend-
ants to be in readiness, and fired three chambers of a
revolver in rapid succession.

Instantly there was a great commotion. Most of tho
horses reared and plunged, and it was only with the
greatest difficulty that some of them were prevented
from breaking away and racing madly about the field.
A few, on the other hand, did nothing more than
prick up their ears and toss their heads, and these
wore promptly taken away for test. The more restive
ones, of course, were subjected to the revolver shots
until they could face them unflinchingly.

The second test is much more severe. The hordes
are galloped up to a supposed company of infantry, who
fire simultaneously as soon as the animals have got
properly into swing. The first volley usually phiya
havoc with the formation of the advancing cavalry
and some of the horses rear so wildly that their riders
have considerable difficulty in keeping their saddles.
In a few moments, however, the charge is continued,
another volley fired — this time, of course, at close
range — and the formation is once more derauged.

The maneuver is continued until, familiarity haviDg
bred contempt, the horses advance as readily in the
face of musketry (both volleys and "straggling"' fire)
as when faced by nothing at all. They are then taught
in precisely the same way to disregard the boom of
cannon. Once properly trained, a horse faces the
deadly fire of an enemy on the field of battle with an
absolute fearlessness, of which man, be he brave as a
lion, is incapable. This, however, is only natural. The
horse has been taught to believe the din of battle to be
quite meaningless and without result. When in actual
warfare he sees horses and men around him shattered
and lifeless; there is nothing to suggest to him that
that same din of battle and death are in any way con-
nected, and the report of firearms, consequently, for
him has no terrors whatever.

The whistling of bullets and the screaming of shells —
unknown, of course, at the maneuvers at home — while
insignificant details to the horse, are sadly full of mean-
ing to the man, and often enough do our soldiers envy
the ignorance of the horse* — the "ignorance which is
bliss. "—Philadelphia Times.

Among the pacers Alice Mapes was the fastest two
year old of 1900. She took a record of 2:14$, and
showed a trial in public of 2:09^. No two year old beat
2:20 in the late campaign; in fact, no three year old
earned a record as fast as the champion two year old
of 1900. In the older division, Bonnie Direct 2:05J,
held the four year old and the green pacer records of
1900; while this season Audubon Boy 2:0b' is the fastest
four year old, and Shadow Chimes 2:06^ the fastest of
the new pacers.

Worth Ober, the veteran trainer, is now located at
. the Pleasanton track.

P. W. Hodges has over a dozen horses in training at
the Los Angeles track.

Truman's Brother by Electioneer reduced his record
from 2:18} to 2:16? last year.

Stallion fees are high in Europe. Greenbrino stands
for $500, Athanio for $450, Axmere for $150.

The balance in the treasury of the National Trotting
Association on November 1st was $20,044.26.

There are eight stallions that have sired one hun-
dred or more 2:30 performers. Nutwood leads them
all, with 172 to his credit

While there were many big purses and stakes on the
eastern Grand Circuit last year there will be more of
thera and larger ones this year.

New England horsemen are discussing the question,
"Who wMl drive Anaconda 2:01} in 1902?" since it is
known that Jack Trout will not.

William Cecil is breaking a lot of yearlings by Nut-
wood Wilkes 2:164 at the Nutwood Stock Farm and
there is natural speed shown every time he gets one
started.

Paustino 2:12} by Sidney is being used on the road
by L. N. Kelly, of Lancaster, N. Y., who says he will
drive him into Buffalo some day and let the fast ones
of this city tackle him.

The photo engraving of the stallion, John A. Mi-
Kerron 2:06}, which appears in the Christmas Horse-
man, is from one of the most beautiful pictures ever
taken of a horse in harness.

Every good mare should be bred this year. The
cheap mares without pedigree or extra good qualities
should never be sent to anything but a jack, and first
class mules need not be expected even then.

Cresceus trotted an exhibition mile in 2:07 at Dallas,
Texas, on New Year's Day. This is the fastest mile
ever trotted in January, and shows what a wonderful
horse Cresceus is to keep in form as he does.

When John Mackay of Rancho del Paso was in
England a few months ago he purchased nine big
draft stallions for the Haggin ranch. They are said
to be a fine lot of horses by those who have seen them.

The Wilkes-Electioneer-Nutwood combination of
blood lines is now the most popular one in a trotting
pedigree that can be named, and it will be more popu-
lar a few years hence than at present.— Am. Horse
Breeder.

Henry Hell man will have three good horses in the
stud at Portland, Ore., this year. They are Boodle
2:12} by Stranger, Oro Guy, a four year old by Oro
Wilkes, and Alton B., a son of Altamont. They rep-
resent three great strains of trotting blood.

• Every district association can afford to give one or
two large purses or stakes for the slow class trotters
and pacers each year. Nothing will do more to en-
courage horse breeding, and induce trainers to visit
the district meetings with their entire strings.

Geo. Warlow's stallion Athadon, record 2:27 as a
yearling, and sire of Sue 2:12}, Listerine 2:13} and
others, should get a large patronage this year. He is
a grandson of Onward, the greatest living sire, and his
dam has produced four in the list including Athanio
2:10.

Electrite 2:28}, is now credited with fifty-three per-
formers, which is a large muster roll for a stallion only
thirteen years old. The great majority of his get
made records within the standard limit before five
years of age, showing they race and get the money
early.

On Thursday January 30th, the Palo Alto Stock
Farm will sell about forty head of standard bred trot-
ting broodmares stinted to Mendocino 2:194, Altvo
2:18J, Azmoor 2:20}. The sale will take place'at Wm.
G. Layng's Occidental Horse Exchange in this city.
Further particulars next week.

Silver Bow 2:16 has gone to Ohio to be a companion
in the stud to the champion Cresceus 2:20}, but there
is a son of his at San Jose that can represent the Mc-
Gregor family with credit. This is Silver Arrow,
owned by J. W. Gordon. Silver Arrow's dam is Nut-
wood Weeks, dam of Ethel Downs 2:10 and Henry
Nutwood 2:29, and his grandam was a daughter of
Williamson's Belmont. He is a great individual and a
fast trotter.

In response to an inquiry as to the age of the great
Diablo pacer, Sir Albert S. 2:08}, we will state that
his breeder and owner, Mr. William G. Layng of this
city, says that the horse was foaled June*24th, 1896,
consequently he was a five year old when making his
campaign of six winning races and eighteen unbeaten
heats in 1901. He is now one of the best six year old
geldinks in America.

Pat Foley has a grandly bred son of McKinney 2:11',
that hewillstand for public service at Rockridge Stock
Farm, near Oakland, this year. He is out of the reg-
istered mare Igo by Antevolo. second dam Daisy May
by Nutwood, third dam by Abdallah 15. This is a
great combination of blood and Mondesol is a fine
individual.

There not being a quorum present at"the meeting of
the Pacific District Board of Appeals called for the
27th inst., the meeting was postponed to Thursday
afternoon, January 21st, at 2 o'clock. The date being
fixed for that time to permit the hearing of protests
that were presented at the meeting and allow notices
to be sent to parties interested fifteen davs prior to
hearing of the cases.

Millard Sanders is at Pleasanton with quite a string
of horses from the Santa Rosa Stock Farm. He has
Dolly Dillon 2:07 and Bonsilene 2:144, besides a number
of two and three year olds. Bonsilene has raised a
foal during her retirement aud if no accident happens
her should get a record this year close to that of Dolly
Dillon. Some of the young colts and fillies are very
promising and in Mr. Sander's able hands can be ex-
pected to develop great speed.

Since Horace W. Wilson has been connected with
the Kentucky Breeders Association as secretary and
manager a debt of $40,000 has been liquidated, some-
thing like $15,000 expended in improvements, and the
association last fall held the most successful meeting
ever held in the Blue Grass region. The directors of
the association have just voted to renew the Kentucky
Futurity of $21,000, and early in the spring several new
stables will be erected on the grounds of the association
to provide moreaccommodations for horse9 in training.

Mr. J. C. Bray, of Butt", Montana, has purchased
from R. E. deB. Lopez, of the Merriwa Stock Farm,
Pleasanton, a pair of bay mares by James Madison
2:17} that make one of the best matched teams ever
sold in this State. One has worked a mile in 2:28, the
other in 2:35, and they can pole together in 2:40.
They are both bays, very handsome and stand 16.1 or
a little over. They require no boots and are perfectly
gaited. Mr. Bray made the purchase for Mr. James
Talbot, a banker of Butte.

The pacing mare, Edith W. 2:06}, of the Whitley
stable, of Indiana, is another pacer of whom great
things are predicted for next season. "It is more than
likely," says an expert, "that she will be able to lower
the record for pacing maros of 2:04}, at present held
jointly by Lady of the Manor and Mazette. " A pecu-
liarity of Edith W. is that she dislikes to go back the
wrong way of the track. When she is turned at the
wire and started back up the stretch considerable
patience and urging are required by driver Turner to
persuade her to go back.

Dialect is the name of a very handsome son of Diablo
2:09} that is owned by that well known horse breeder
and champion mule dealer, S. H. Crane, of Turlock.
Dialect is six years old, a square trotter and just about
as perfect an individual as one would wish to see. His
dam, the mare Electress by Richard's Elector, is a
producer of standard speed and is out of old Sugar-
plum, a thoroughbred mare by Lodi, that won running
races in 1:45 and trotting races in 2:50 years ago.
Dialect was bred to a few mares as a three year old,
and the foals are magnificent individuals.

Mr. A. F. Rooker, the leading dealer in mules in
this State, has about four hundred head of unbroken
mules for saleortradeat the Parker Ranch, Lockford,
San Joaquin county. These mules are an extra good
lot and are from three to eight years old, weighing
from 900 to 1300 pounds. During the year just passed,
Mr. Rooker has shipped 2400 mules out of this State,
the majoiity of which have gone to the British army
in South Africa. Mr. Rooker recently purchased a
lot of yearlings and two year old mules in Shasta
county that are about as good a lot as were ever raised
in the State.

Denver is to have one of the greatest meetings ever
held in June and July, 1902. The meeting will open
June 21st and close July 5th at Overland Park. Mr.
Edwin Gaylord states that this change in the date to a
later period than has heretofore been the rule has
been made in deference to the wishes of horsemen,
who have generally considered the former Denver
dates a little early. It is Mr. Gaylord 's desire to make
the Denver meeting one of the best held in America,
and when the program is announced the many new
attractions to be offered will no doubt meet the enthu-
siastic endorsement of horsemen all over the country.

While in San Francisco on New Year's Day General
Superintendent F. W. Covey of Palo Alto, stated to a
reporter that all of the stock of this noted breeding
establishment will soon pass under the hammer. In
this city on January 30th a number of broodmares
will be sold. At Cleveland, on May 30th, the three
year olds, two 3 ear olds and yearlings are to go to the
highest bidders. During the Sacramento State Fair
horses of all grades will he sold, and during the month
of November the stallions and broodmares with colts
are to be led into the ring at New York. Among the
stallions are Monbells, Mendocino, Nazote and Azmoor.

W. H. Bradford and *Ves Walters of La Grande,
Or., arrived at Irvington track last week with a car-
load of horses, which they will put into training.
They have Lady Le Grande, two year old filly by Che-
halis, out of Codicil, dam of Lady Mack 2:23, Leona
2:28; Nancy Codi 2:25} by Administrator; three year
old gelding by Chehalis, out of Nancy K. by Lemont;
three year old filly by Baymont, dam by Deadshot;
Col. Ott, five year old gelding by Del Norte. The
above are owned by J. W. Scriber. Yearling colt Brad
H. by Meteor 2:17'}, out of the dam of Estella 2:17};
Duke of Walstein 2:23} by Walstein; two year old
runner and a yearling runner. — Portland, Rural Spirit.

The Gilroy Gazette says: Work is progressing rapidly
at the race track in preparation for the reception of
the Spreckels horses, which will be here in the next
two weeks. Twenty-two head of royally bred young-
sters from the Aptos stock farm will be taken in hand
and given such work as will transform them into
trotters for the Grand Circuit, for they will be sold at
the Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland, in May.

It is reported from Cleveland that several handsome
offers have recently been made for John A. McKerron.
Early last fall two Clevelanders offered to write checks
for $25,000 apiece in purchase of the stallion, and when
it was refused each offered to increase hi3 offer $2000,
making $54000 that was offered. While McKerron
will be trained for the Boston cup race, it has been
practically decided that after that race he will be
started in a few stake races for trotters eligible to the
2:10 class. — Chicago Horseman.

W. J. East of Fortuna, Humboldt county, has re-
cently purchased the handsome and well bred stallion,
Cassiar by Soudan, son of Sultan. The dam of Cassiar
is Carrie Malone by Steinway out of Katie G. by Elec-
tioneer, therefore full sister to Klatawah 2:054, Chas.
Derby 2:20, H. C Covey 2:25 and Steineer 2:29}, and
other noted horseG. Cassiar is a comparatively young
stallion having been foaled in 1892, and should prove
a very successful horse when bred to tbePoscora Hay-
ward, Waldstein and Ira mares in Humboldt county.

The Spirit of the West, published at Des Moines,
Iowa, has the following in regard to a sale recently
made by Tom James who will arrive at San Jose soon
with his stallion Barondale 2:11]: "Tom James of this
city, recently sold to P. C. Kenyon of the Kenyon
Printing Co., the two year old stallion colt, Baron
Cadmus, by Barondale 2:11}, out of Belle P. (dam of
Alpha Panic 2:20), by Robert Bonner 270. Baron
Cadmus is a great show colt He has speed, style and
action and will mature into a horse 164 hands and
weighs over 1200 pounds as a two year old, and ho
shows great quality and when bitched to a cart shows
that he will learn to trot fast. He is well bred and
with his size, style and finish, should produce high
class colts that will command top prices as speedy
drivers and good actors. Mr. Kenyon expects to place
Baron Cad mus in the stud in the spring in some locality
where there are a number of good mares."

The death of Trinket 2:14 removes the last of the
great trotters of the 80's, unless exception be made for
the famous Jay-Eye-See. At the time of her death
she was owned by A G. Gusbee, of the Dorchester
Driving Club, of Boston, and she was buried on his
farm. Foaled in 1875, Trinket became noted in 1879,
when she placed the four year old record at 2:19}.
In 1881 she took a mark of 2:14, which gave her the
right to share the queen's crown with Goldsmith Maid.
In her palmy days she was in General Turner's stable
and did much to make him what he is to-day, one of
the wealthiest professional trainers. Two years ago
the General saw the old mare at Readville and patting
her on the neck, said: "Old girl, you were good to the
Turner family." What a really great trotter she was
is well known by the mile she trotted when 24 years
old at Readville. It was in 2:204, and was a remark-
able performance. Trinket was once owned by the
late W. Hobart, who bred her to Stamboul.

It is well known that the theory of developed sires
has received its hardest knocks from Mr. Hamlin, says
a writer in the Buffalo Horse World. Mambrino King
never was raced and yet his progeny was the gamest
of the game. Dictator, the full brother of Dexter, is
another example of the undeveloped sire. Of course,
George Wilkes, the greatest of all trotting sires, was
raced. But George Wilkes was never a colt wonder.
Hiram Woodruff had another theory that a colt
should not be given oats until three years old, and
some of those who knew the great horseman say that
he claimed that if a horse was never fed oats until six
years old he would be much better off. Woodruff pre-
dicted that the day would come when there would be
colt wonders and declared that staying power would
be lost when this took place. It can be seen ihat
modern tr jtting horsemen are simply correcting evils
which old time trainers declared would be the result of
early development. In the old days the distance was
longer and the tracks slower. But the horses lasted
for years and seldom went lame. Fewer and harder
races were given.

San Francisco, Saturday, January 4, 1902.

ANEW YEAR RESOLUTION that should be
made by every organization in California that
proposes giving a harness race meeting in 1902 is one
that would prohibit bookmaking on the results of
trotting1 or pacing contests. The wonderful success of
the driving clubs throughout the United States during
the past few years has demonstrated beyond all possible
doubt that the American people are admirers of the
American trotter, and are lovers of the sport of racing
without the heretofore considered necessary adjunct
of gambling. Thousands of people in Boston, New
York, Cleveland, Chicago and Los Angeles regularly
attend the matinee contests where no purses are offered
and no opportunity for gambling in any form exists,
while a very large number of men with means have
shown their willingn ss to pay more for a horse for
matinee purposes than any other person would pay for
one to gamble with. It is true that gambling has run
rife in this country for several years past, and that
the desire to get something for nothing has a strong
hold upon a very large proportion of its citizens. It
is also true, however, that the bone and sinew of the
nation, the men and women who have built up the
homes and are rearing the future citizens of the repub-
lic, are not inoculated with the gambling virus, but
are believers in the good old doctrine of paying a fair
price for the luxuries as well as the necessaries of life.
They believe that the prizes won by effort are worth
more to the winner and have a better effect upon the
future than the prizes won by chance. During the
past few years, ever since the introduction in California
of syndicate bookmaking at our State and District
fairs, there has been a falling off in the attendance at
these annual functions, of the farmers, the business
men, the manufacturer, the mechanics and the laborers
and their families. The attendance of sports, gam-
blers, touts and such like has increased, until at some
of the fairs and race meetings held there has been but
the very slightest interest taken, by those who in
former years made the fairs successful by their attend-
ance, their endorsement and their exhibits. The evq
has been wrought by the gamblers, and to get the
fairs back to the former high standard it will be nec-
essary to get rid of the faking crowd that has pushed
itself into such a conspicuous place during late years.
The first thing to do is to abolish the syndicate book
and all other books at the State and District Fairs.
And the second step is to cater to the farmers, the
stock breeders, the manufacturers and the artisans of
California than to the class that live by the turn of the
wheel or the fall of the die. If every district board of
agriculture in California could meet early in this new
year, announce dates and programs for fairs and pub.
lish the statement that no bookmaking would be per-
mitted on its grounds, there would be such a revival
of exhibits of stock and entries to the speed contests
as would astonish those who believe that the district
fair has seen its best days. It would bring prosperity
to associations that have been in obscurity for years,
and would inaugurate a new era in California District
fairs.

and upward, seven furlongs, $1000 added, and the Cotton
Steeplechase Stakes, a handicap for three year olds
and upward, distance about two miles, to which $1000
is added. The Tennessee Derby has $3000 added and
the Oaks $1500. Montgomery Park, Memphis, where
these races will be run is one of the best appointed
tracks in the South and the meetings of the New Mem_
phis Jockey Club are very popular with horsemen^
The program of overnight events for the spring meet,
ing will contain many attractive races, and all those
who contemplate racing over East this year should
enter in these stakes at Memphis by Tuesday next.
Entry blanks can be had at this office.

Among the mares from Palo Alto Stock Farm sold
at one of the farm's sales at Los Angeles a few years
ago was one by Electricity that was afterwards bred ,
to McKinney and the colt, which has been named
Electric Mac, is a trotter if there is one in that part of
California.

Many reports are out in regard to glanders being
among the horses belonging to the German Govern-"
ment that are left in this State. Every veterinary
who is employed by a county Board of Supervisors to
examine horses for glanders should be empowered to
kill every -horse found to be so affected, and burn its
carcass.

PRINCE ANSEL, two year old record of 2:20i, son
of Dexter Prince and Woodflower by Ansel, has
been leased from his owner, Alex Brown of Walnut
Grove Stock Farm, by the well known horseman, C.
C. Crippen, and will be taken to Menlo Park for the
season of 1902. Prince Ansel will stand at $40 the sea-
son and should be liberally patronized as besides being
a fine individual and very fast his bloodlines are those
that have made Palo Alto farm famous. Bis sire has
fifty-three in 2:30, headed by the great mare Eleata
2:08f, the greatest money winner on the Eastern Grand
Circuit this year. His dam Woodflower held the
world's two year old record of 2:21 in 1881, and is also
the dam of Seylex 2:15^, and is by Ansel, son of Elec-
tioneer and the thoroughbred mare Annette. Ansel
has produced eight trotters and one pacer with stand-
ard records, has two producing sons and four or five
producing daughters. The second dam of Prince
Ansel, that old time race mare Mayflower 2:30A by St.
Clair, is also a great broodmare, being the dam of
Manzanita 2:16 that held the champion four year old
record in 1886. Mayflower is the grandam of nine
standard performers.

TEN STAKES offered by the new Memphis Jockey
Club will close Tuesday next, January 7th. Eight
are for the spring meeting of 1902, and the other two
are the Tennessee Derby and Tennessee Oaks for 1903.
The stakes to be run at the spring meeting this year
are the Gaston Hotel, for colts and geldings, foals of
190C, four furlongs, which has $1000 added; the Ardelle,
for filly foals of 1900, four furlongs, $1000 added; the
Tlemphis, for two year olds, five furlongs, $1000 added;
the Hotel Gayoso, for three year olds, one mile, $1000
added; the Montgomery Handicap, for three year and
upward, one mile and a sixteenth, $2000 added; the
Peabody Hotel Handicap, for three year olds and up-
vard, one mile and an eighth, $1000 added; the
Tennessee Brewing Stakes, selling, for three year olds

WASHINGTON PARK CLUB at Chicago gives
annually one of the greatest meetings held in
the world. It conducts its racing in a manner that
calls forth praise from horsemen and from the public,
and its Derby Day is undoubtedly the greatest racing
event in America, and more people witness that race
than any other. On Wednesday, January 15th, seven-
teen rich stakes ranging from $2000 added money to
the $20,000 added money for the American Derby, will
close. There are four stakes for three year olds, six
for horses three years old and upward, and seven for
two vear olds. The meeting will begin Saturday, June
21st, and close Saturday, July 20th. Thousands of
people visit Chicago on Derby Day each year from all
parts of the world for the sole purpose of seeing this
great race, which is America's one great racing classic.
That the meeting this year shall outclass all previous
ones is the aim of the management and there is no
doubt but that it will be accomplished. Every horse-
man who owns a good three year old should have an
entry in the American Derby.

MR. EDWARD LANNIGAN has issued a very
handsome stallion announcement for the thor-
oughbred stallion Rubicon. The statistical matter
was compiled by Ralph H. Tozer. Typographically,
it is a work of art and in it he shows that Rubicon
during his turf record from 1893 to 1899 won $39,890
and that he is one of the best bred stallions standing
for public service on this Coast. He will make the
season of 1902 at the Brentwood Stock Farm.

HOOF BEATS.

Mr. W. Griswold, manager of the Los Gatos Light
and Fuel Company, has a two year old gelding by
Diablo out of Nellie F. by Blue Bull Jr., second dam
Kit Freeman by Tom Hal 3000, that is one of the
handsomest youngsters in Santa Clara county. He
stands fifteen hands and three inches high, and his
measurements in inches are as follows: Girth 72, arm •
20, knee 12, stifle 37, hock 54, point of hip to point of

hock 40i:

Suit has been brought in Alameda county by Jessie"
O. Van Ness against Jerome B. Walden, Jr., adminis
trator of the estate of J. B. Chase, deceased, to recover
possession cf the stallion, imported Trentola, alleging
that the horse was leased from Frank Van Ness by
Chase in 1896. As Thos. G. Jones, former superin
tendent of the Chase farm claims the horse, adminis-
trator Walden refuses to give up possession until, the
court passes upon the ownership of the horse.

W. G. Durfee,' who is getting together a striDg of
good horses- at Los Angeles for the campaign of 1902,
writes that there has never been a time when so much
interest was taken in harness horse affairs in that
county as now, and that the business was never in a
healthier condition. There is no doubt but the Los
Angeles Driving Club has done a great deal to bring
about this state of affairs down south, and it would be
a good thing if. there were a few more like it in the
State.

George Ramage, who for the last nine years has
been training colts and making speed With the colts
and fillies of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, has resigned
his position and has entered the hardware business at
Haywards, Alameda county, where he has associated
himself with the Ramage Hardware Company. Mr.
Ramage, during the years of his connection with the
Santa Rosa Stock Farm, gave the first lessons to many
of that farm's fastest trotters, and drove quite a
number to their records.

Speedsires are nowadays largely measured by their
2:10 performers, says an exchange. Brood mare sires
are just as amenable to this measurement. It is not so
often that George Wilkes is referred to as a great
brood mare sire, yet he is the sire of the dams of eight
2:10 performers, leading all brood mare sires in this
respect, and stands second only to Nutwood as a sire
of dams of standard performers. Nutwood ties Mam-
brino Patchen as a sire of 2:10 dams, each of them
having seven, and leads him sharply as a sire of dams
of standard performers. Blue Bull, Mambrino King
and Strathmare each stand within one point of equal-
ing Mambrino Patchen as a sire of the dams of 2:10
performers, while Alcantara and Wilton are each but
two points behind.

TANFORAN TRACK with t;all the appurtenances
thereunto belonging" is now the sole property of
the New California Jockey Club, the sum of $82,000 in
cash having been paid the South San Francisco Im-
provement Company for its interest in the grounds.
Under the agreement entered into by the San Fran-
cisco Jockey Club, racing was required at Tanforan at
least thirty days in each year, and the new club, not
being willing to be bound by such terms, has pur-
chased the property outright and can race there or
close the track as it may see fit.

J. A. Edmunds of Los Angeles, claims the name of
Bobs for a bay two year old colt by Bob Mason out of
Lydia Payne.

Walter Mabenis training a two year old by Monterey
2-.09J out of Juliet D. 2:13* by McKinney that is said to
be one of the fastest youngsters in Southern California.

The Empire track at New York, which was built by
the late Corporation Counsel Clark for a trotting
track, was sold by auction on the 26th of last month
to Frank Farrell, of that city, for $21S,000, which is
about half its cost. The mortgage on the track at the
time of the sale was $195,000. Whether trotting meet-
ings will be given there or whether the track will be
turned over to the runners is problematical.

Stipulator.

A pacer that has attracted much attention from
horsemen in the southern part of the State is Stipu-
lator, whose likeness appears above. -He is a black
stallion by Titus, a full brother to Direct 2:05*. The
dam of Stipulator is the dam of Coney 2:02. Stipu-
lator has worked a mile in 2:11, and an offer of $2000
has been refused for him by his owner, Mr. Wilson,

district association managers to get together early in
the season, arrange circuit dates and announce early
closing stakes, says: "One good reason held out by
the Breeder for their early action was the fact that
both Oregon and Washington had representatives in
that State working in the interest of our Northern
circuit next year. They said that the successful meet-,
ings held up here this year would induce many Cali-
fornia horsemen to race on this circuit next season,
unless California took the matter in hand early and
headed them off by offering some inducement for stay-
ing on the home circuit."

"Now this is good alvice and we don't blame the
Breeder and Sportsman for trying to enthuse the
Californians into early action, but the running game,
coupled with syndicate book making has about ruined
harness racing in the Golden State, and it will take
the combined early action and earnest effort on the
part of all the associations there to bring the sport
back to that of former years. However, we have
trouble of our own and we should not be too slow in
getting our own circuit before the horsemen. Dates
should be arranged early in the season for the entire
circuit. A few early closing stakes offered at each
place on the circuit, not all for the same class, but
adopt a kind of a step-ladder system throughout the
circuit. To illustrate we will say that Everett, What-
com, Portland, Salem, Seattle, North Yakima and
Spokane are on the circuit in the order named, each
place to give two stakes, one for trotters and roe for
pacers."

"Everett could start with a stake for 2:40 ti otters
and one for 2:30 pacers; Whatcom 2:30 trotters, 2:25
pacers; Portland 2:27 trotters, 2:23 pacers; Salem 2:25
trotters, 2:20 pacers; Seattle 2:20 trotters, 2:18 pacers;
North Yakima 2:17 trotters, 2:15 pacers; Spokane 2:15
trotters, 2:11 pacers. This system would prevent any
hippodrome racing that might occur should the stakes
be offered throughout the circuit for the same class of
horses. No association should offer any larger stakes
than they can afford to pay, and by all means pay
whab they offer. ' '
\

Grand Circuit Plans For 1902.

Plans for the Grand Circuit for 1902 are already be-
ing discussed by the track managers, and it now looks
as though the circuit stewards, at their meeting to be
held in January, will have a difficult task to arrange
the itinerary to the satisfaction of all the associations.
A. J. Welch has already announced that he will ask to
have the circuit open at Cincinnati instead of at De-
troit, and it is pretty well understood that the Detroit
people will make a strong effort to keep the position
they have so long occupied as the opening meeting
of the big series of races. After the question of
opening is settled little trouble will be encountered
until the allotment of dates for Glens Falls is taken
up. Last year Brighton Beach gave an independ-
ent meeting during the week of Glens Falls G -and
Circuit meeting, after offering the Falls people a
good round sum to change their dates. It is said
that Brighton Beach will ask for a place in the Grand
Circuit line this year, and unless it can be arranged to
comply with the request another independent meeting
will be held there. Letting Brighton Beach in will
cause a change of dates for Glens Falls and possibly
for Boston, Hartford and Providence, a fact that
will make the settlement of the question one of no
little difficulty. It is said that Baltimore will also
ask for dates in the Grand Circuit, but, as that city
is off the regular route the horses will take to get
back west, it is doubtful about favorable dates.
Whether or not Syracuse will be in the Grand Circuit
again this year rests entirely with the New York State
Fair Commission. If that body holds to the week
beginning August 25th for holding the State Fair,
Syracuse will not see the Grand Circuit performers.
If a later date is selected, then the Salt City will get a
place. Cincinnati will give a second meeting late in
September, preceding the Terre Haute meeting, but
it is not certain that the latter city will be in the Grand
Circuit this year, as it is said that it may join the pro
posed Southern Circuit, which will have for other

Zombro 2:11 Goes to Los Angeles.

The great McKinney stallion, Zombro 2:11, will make
the season of 1902 at Los Angeles. A letter from his
owner, Geo. T. Beckers, dated at Sacramento Decem-
ber 31st, gives this information. Mr. Beckers could
not resist the strongly expressed desire on the part of
many breeders in Los Angeles county who own high
class and producing mares to breed them to Zombro,
and has decided to take him there. That Zombro will
receive a large patronage in Southern California is
certain. The breeders there are progressive men as a
rule, and recognize in Zombro one of the highest types
of the American trotter ever bred. Besides the young
Zombros are attracting the attention of all horsemen
on account of their great speed and uniform good
looks. The first one to start in a race won the Occi-
dent Stake at the California State Fair of 1901, and
there are very good chances of this stake being won
again this year by one of Zombro's get.

W. W. Estill, of Lexington, sent two yearlings and
six weanlings by Adbell to the Old Glory sale. The
former sold for an average of $725, while the wean-
lings brought a total of $3348, an average of $558 per
head.

A certificate of stock of the Kentucky Trotting
Horse Breeders Association was sold recently at forced
sale for $85, which was considered a good price.

Nelly A. 2:13, yearling record 2:29J, is in foal to
Adbell, yearling record 2:23, and this is said to be the
only conjunction of the kind.

James Butler, the New York millionaire grocer,
owner of the East View Stock Farm, is coming to
California this winter.

Good breeding and good feeding are so closely re-
lated that they must go together. One is useless
without the other.

A. T. Welch will make an effort to have the Grand
Circuit of 1902 begin and end at Cincinnati.

Canker of the Ear.

BY C. F.

This disease is generally considered to be due to the
ear becoming- wet, or in popular language, "to catch-
ing cold in the ear." In reality it is a local eczema,
and its character differs in no wise from the other
forms of skin lesions «o common in plethoric animals,
excepting that when it has once advanced to the stage
of ulceration it rarely heals without treatment, as
eczema of the skin proper often does when the condi-
tions of living are entirely changed.

Eczema in the dog is very frequently retrocodent;
that is to say, it will apparently be completely cured
only to break out shortly in some other part of the
body, such as within or on the ear, or between the
toes, or it may even assume an entirely different form,
such as rheumatism.

The majority of eczemas are due to disorders of
digestion or nutrition. This does not necessarily mean
over or impropor feeding. Sometimes these disorders
can be traced to deficient innervation brought about
by a wrecking of the nervous system during an attack
of distemper. A very rare parasitic variety is known,
but this we will leave out of consideration. There are
other forms where the origin of the disorder is ob-
scure, but the greater number of cases can be traced
to the old, old story — overfeeding and lack of exercise.
Canker of the ear has been described as an internal
and external, the former applying to the disease when
existent within the hollow of the ear, the latter when
the flap becomes affected. This distinction is entirely
superfluous, as they are both of the same nature, the
difference being only a matter of location.

One is impelled to seek to account for the marked
tendency to eruptions on the surface of the body wit-
nessed in the dog. A possible explanation lies in the
absence of Fweat glands. As is well known, the sudo-
riferous glands in animals possessed of them act as
important excretory organs and supplement the action
of the kidney and bowels. If one of the latter from
any cause should be checked in its activity, the glands
of the skin can in large measure come to its assistance,
temporarily at least. The dog is said by some to
"sweat at the mouth," which really means that he
salivates freely. Undoubtedly the system is relieved
of a great deal of fluid matter in this manner, but it
can hardly be considered a true excretion as is per-
spiration. If then the blood of a dog becomes sur-
charged with effete material, so much so that the
kidneys and bowels are overtaxed and unable to remove
it, there is apparently an attempt on the part of the
organism to fall back on an outlet by way of the sur-
face of the body (possibly dogs once possessed true
sweat glands in bygone ages) The glands there not
being developed, an inflammation results, which may
or may not advance through various stages till ulcera-
tion and necrosis of the parts take place.

Ulceration is what usually happens when the ear
becomes the seat of the inflammation, for the reason
that the discharges do not find a free exit, but tend to
run down into the hollow of the ear and there continue
to act as local irritants and increase the trouble. We
are all familiar with the instinctive attempt on the
part of the dog so affected to establish free drainage
by shaking the diseased ear downward.

Inflammations in or on the ear may, and generally
do, run through the same course that other inflamma-
tions do. At first their is a redness, which, if dis-
covered at this point can be controlled before it reaches
the next stage, that of breaking down of the tissues of
the part affected and the formation of matter (suppur-
ation).

If it is still neglected it goes on to the intractable
and painful condition of ulceration. The latter is the
state the ear is in in old-standing chronic cases. By
iteration is meant a continuation of the disease proc-
ess past the point when it can heal by granulation, or
i> sort of continual dying of the parts.

ICach of these stages calls for different treatment.
The first stage can generally be headed off by purg-
.- g the animal, and for this purpose epsom salts is the
host remedy. In fact, in any case of eczema in the in-
flammatory stage, epsom salts is the right drug to use.

It acts quite briskly in the dog, but must be in a well
preserved condition— that is to say, must not have
been exposed to the atmosphere. It acts by extracting
water from the tissues, but can only abstract a certain
amount. Hence, if it has bad an opportunity to ab-
sorb moisture from the atmosphere before being used,
it can readily be understood that its action will be nil.
From one to four teaspoonfuls, according to the size of
the dog, should be dissolved in an equal quantity each
of warm water and syrup of ginger. The latter pre-
vents griping and overcomes to some extent the bitter
taste of the dose. This should be given as soon after
the preparation as possible and repeated every morn-
ing till the redness subsides.

For local application use the following several times
daily (poisonous by the mouth): Equal parts of Gou-
lard's extract of lead, laudanum and alcohol in 10 parts
of water.

At the suppurative stage local treatment should be
twice daily. First pour into the ear a teaspoonful of
peroxide of hydrogen. This makes all the matter and
pus effervesce and flow over out of the hollow of the
ear. In two or three minutes' time ram into the hol-
low with the little finger as far as it will go some of
this powder: Powdered zinz oxide, boric acid and iodol
or iodoform, equal parts, mixed.

We now have to consider the ulcerative stage, which
is the stage at which difficulty is usually experienced
owing to ignorance of what constitutes an ulcer and
the proper way to treat it. The second stage, that of
granulation and suppuratiOD, needs soothing and anti-
septic material to assist its course. It can keep on the
right road to recovery if a little gentle helpisafforded.
As already explained, ulceration is a process that has
gone too far to be guided back to the right path by
soothing methods. It must be regarded as a vicious
condition ana requires stimulating and wakening to
healthy action. It is, therefore, necessary to use some
caustic drug that will destroy the irritant portion that
refuses to heal. For this purpose nitrate of silver may
be used in the proportion of 1 to 100 parts of water.
This should be poured into the ear after it has been

At the present day half of the British aristocracy
and an army of wealthy American fanciers are giving
their attention to dog breeding. Some specimens of
the canine tribe bear astounding selling prices. Mr.
Megson, of Manchester, bought a Collie several years
ago for £1500. He has another dog for which he gave
£1300. These are some of the highest priced dogs in
the world.

In the Bill Sykes days dogs were notoriously "faked . "
In the wicked old days these fakes were practiced to
enhance the value of a dog, and terrible cruelties were
inflicted. With Bulldogs, for instance, it used to be
the custom to make them wear an instrument of tor-
ture for the purpose of shortening their muzzle, an
instrument which broke the cartilage of the nose
under pressure.

In many of the wire-haired Terriers, the practice was
to treat their coats with a certain solution, which
caused the animals intense suffering, in order to make
their coats hard. Dogs underwent the torture of hav-
ing hairs plucked from their bodies so as to give them
the desired appearance for winning prizes.

The Prince of Wales, who has practically identified
himself with the economy of the dog world, instituted
the, as yet, unwritten law forbidding the clipping of
ears and the cutting of tails, even in the case of
common Terriers.

Those owners who expect litters of puppies during
March and April should remember that the air is liable
to be chilly and that cold windy weather often pre-
vails at this time of year. They should provide a suit-
able place for the dam so that no wind can possibly
penetrate where she is to bring forth her family, and
if possible the litter should be whelped and kept for at
least 24 hours where there is artificial heat, even if it
be beside the range in the kitchen. After that they
can be removed to a place outside like a box stall in a
stable, that has had a kennel or a small dry goods box
placed in it, with opening large enough for the dam to
go out and in.

Remember, the dam needs extra care now, as it is a
great drain on her. She must eat enough to support
herself and her whole family. If she will take it give
her plenty of sweet milk to drink, but if she refuses to
take milk, prepare her soups or any soft foods that
she relishes.

Remember, that it is only for a short time, say four
to six weeks, that this extra care need be taken of her.
and the saving of one good pup or the general con-
dition of her whole litter will bring enough extra
money to pay for your trouble.

Remember, that if you are too shiftless to give the
dam and her litter proper care, you have no right to
complain if you lose half the litter, or if they do live,
if they are poor, stunted specimens that nobody wants
to buy. If they are the latter sort, don't call it "your
luck," but. your ignorance or shiftlessness.

cleaned by the use of the peroxide of hydrogen, as in
the foregoing stage. Allow it to remain there for a
few minutes and then let the animal shake it out him-
self. Subsequently the same powder should be used.

One word as to diet. Meat must on no account be
allowed in any form whatever.

I am satisfied that no case of canker will fail to yield
to the above simple treatment, at least such has always
been my own experience.

BARKS.

It is just as important to the dog that his teeth be
kept free from accumulations of tartar as it is to hu-
man beings. If tartar is allowed to collect, it soon
extends into the sockets of the teeth, causes decay of
the same and separates them from the teeth to the
extent that the latter loosen and eventually fall out,
not to speak of the offensive odor that it causes to
emanate from the mouth. Hence the teeth should be
examined at least once in six months, and if found in
such condition, the animal should be carried to some
dentist or veterinarian for relief. -Dogs are ticklish
about having the mouth or jaws operated upon, so
that, according to some of the dilletanti, it is usually
decessary to administer a hypodermic injection of
morphine in order to place the patient in a happy
frame of mind.

This is quite an anxious time for persons who own
puppies from five to seven or eight months old. From
now on until the open season comes again, the puppies
must be schooled daily, if they are wanted to make
any showing at the opening of the season. "Yard-
breaking" a dog is the first thing to look after, the
puppies being taught that when their masters want
them to do a thing they have got to do it. More can
be taught a dog by gentle and kind treatment than
by rough schooling, and once a dog has learned to
obey readily, promptly and with a certain eagerness
to do what he is told, then the lesson of breaking is
more than half over. Once out in the fields, or in the
woods, instinct soon teaches a dog what to do wben he
comes across the scent that is so pleasant to his nos-
trils. If your puppy is well under control and if he
l.as any "bird sense" at all your task of turning him
into "the best dog you ever owned" is assured. But
have patience with his faults, for dogs are like
children.

Whilst in the human subject thorough mastication
of food is essential to sound digestion, such is not the
case in the dog.

In man, the cutting and grinding action of the teeth
reduces bulky portions taken into the mouth to a
state of fine division and at the same time brings about
an admixture of the saliva, which is a highly active
digestive fluid, in so far as it is capable of converting
starchy matters into sugar. In addition to its digestive
action, tne saliva functions also in a mechanical way
by lubricating the passages to the stomach. In the
dog. little, if any, mastication is performed, and well-
meaning persons are sometimes alarmed at the appar-
ent disregard by their pets of nature's requirements,
which have been drummed into themselves since
childhood.

But physiologists have found that the dog's saliva
is almost inert, and that it cannot, therefore, have any
value as a digestive factor. Hence his saliva need
only be regarded as a lubricant and at times an active
agent for the dissemination of rabies.

It is a simple master to ascertain the digestiye capac-
ity of any given saliva by adding a little of the same
to a solution of starch, and shortly after making a
chemical test for sugar, when if the saliva be active,
sugar will be found to be present.

To reduce his food to a size just possible to swallow,
the dog tears it into fragments and crunches it once
or twice with his teeth, but compared to the particles
we find it most convenient to take into the stomach
his are of rather large dimensions, which, however, is
quite proper, his gullet being far more distensible than
ours.

Those who are interested in thoroughbred dogs and
can look back twenty years and see the class of dogs
that was then owned throughout the country, and at
the same time remember the class of men who were
known as dog breeders, cannot but notice the great
improvement, both in the dogs and the men.

"Twenty years ago in Northern, Eastern and Cen-
tral New York the only dog or breed of dogs that
approached being pure bred was the Fox Hound,"
wrote a contributor to one of our Eastern contempo-
raries. There were a few "apologies" for breeds or
varieties. None of any sort with a pedigree.

The people would look sorrowfully at the man who
would keep or shelter more than one dog in those
days, more particularly out in country districts. In a
suit brought for damages done a flock of sheep by
dogs, we remember hearing one of the lawyers say:
"A man moderately poor always kept one dog; a really
poor man two dogs, and ad — d poor man three to six."

Men of brains, men who understand human nature,
men who loved dogs, and, in a way, understood them,
began to write favorably ot our faithful friend. They
made him the hero or the companion of the hero of
their stories, in papers, poems and books, and our
ignorant country cousins became interested and en-
lightened. New friends began to spring up all around
for the dog. Old friends who had kept their love for
him smothered, for fear of wagging tongues, began to
fan the flame, and as an excuse for keeping and breed-
ing dogs, ordered a pair of thoroughbreds from abroad.

In this way and" many other ways, the breeding and
keeping of thoroughbred dogs has progressed. These
solid men, men of repute, soon convinced the people

in general that the thoroughbred dog was of use, that
there was a breed, bred expressly for any purpose for
which they needed a dog. That there was honor in the
ranks of dog breeders, and by combining and forming
laws that not only protect themselves, but buyers also,
they have to-day made the business a recognized bus-
iness. Now there are many kinds of thoroughbred dogs,
owned by men who are proud to be known as dog
breeders.

The place of honor is always occupied in many dog
shows by the stately Bloodhound, whose dignified
demeanor seems to strike terror into the hearts of
people uneducated in dog lore. Here are some true
facts about him: He is the "sleuth-hound" of news-
paper phraseology, although many writers who use
the term may not know that sleuth is Saxon for "track
of a deer." He has a peculiar scent which enables him
to follow the trail for many miles of anybody bearing,
or who has come into contact with, fresh-shed blood.
But he does not track by intuitive instinct; he must
be trained. It is a mistake to suppose that he can
naturally track any evil-doer or human blood-shedder
by taking him to the original spot where blood has
been spilled. In himself he is a most gentle and docile
creature, and is specially recommended for children.

The Mastiff is the oldest known breed in England.
The ancient English breed was brindled yellow and
black; he is now generally buff. Not more than a
dozen kennels in Great Britain are now, it is claimed,
interested in Mastiffs. 'Peter Piper" at one time the
most famous Mastiff in the world belonged to Mr.
Royle, who refused 1000 guineas for him.

The Irish Wolfhound, the old historic dog of Ire-
land, which has been found an honorable place in the
literature of that country and has been called the in-
separable companion and guard of the harp of Brian
Boru, and of Erin, has been saved from total extinc-
tion. The Irish Wolfhound Club was formed to resus-
citate that line of dog whose original ancestor is be-
lieved to have romped about with the first man in
Eden. Unquestionably, the true Irish Wolfdog is the
representative of the most ancient of the dog creation.
It is true that the Mastiff and the Greyhound are
represented in the Assyrian sculptures in the British
Museum, thus proving their antiquity, but the Irish
Wolfdog has evolved from an earlier species still.

Otters are not looked upon in this State as animals
that furnish any degree of sport. The trapper looks
after them for the sake of their fur, but that is all
there is to it. In England the sport of otter hunting
is looked upon as something solid; and otters are
preserved in the same way that foxes are — for the
sake of the sport they afford in front of a pack of
hounds. It takes but little to break a pack of hounds
into hunting otters; some packs hunt foxes all winter,
and otters during the summer. A start is made early
in the day, sometimes 0 o'clock, in order that the
"drag" or scent left by the otter on its midnight ram-
bles may he fresh enough for the hounds to follow.
The hounds are taken to the side of the stream, or
shallow, swift-running river, and urged on by the
huntsman, spread out along the baoks of the river,
hunting up stream or down, as decided upon by the
master of hounds. The "field," that is, the people on
foot who accompany the hounds, for no horsemen are
allowed, walk along briskly, watching the hounds at
work.

Perhaps an hour or two may be passed in this man-
ner, four or five miles of the river being covered with-
out a trace of an otter. On the other hand, sometimes
a warm "drag" is struck at once, and then all is life.
Where the otter has kept to the shore, or where it has
cut off a corner by crossing an open field or wood, the
pace is brisk enough to keep "the field" running.
Then comes a check where the otter has taken to the
water. Right here is where old otter hounds show
their sagacity. Plunging into the stream, they swim
out to isolated rocks that show their heads above the
water, sniffing at each one, occasionally lifting their
voices when they find a trace of where the otter has
pulled himself from the water and rested for a moment
or two. It is a beautiful sight to see the whole pack,
perhaps twenty or twenty-five hounds, plunge into the
water and "hark" to the cry of some old hound whom
they know never lies

Finally, the otter is traced to his den or "holt." A
small fox-terrier is put in, and if tho otter is at home,
that fact is quickly made known by the terrier's baying
when he has the otter cornered. Sometimes old otters,
especially females with young put up a stiff fight and
the terrier gets a good mauling; but generally there's
more than one outlet to the den, and the otter slips
quietly into the water. A view "halloa" proclaims
he's gone away. Up the stream he swims, or may be
down stream, the hounds true to his line as the bubbles
that rise to the surface from his breath, like the
"chain" from a muskrat, give off the scent of the
otter. Sometimes the chase goes on for over an hour;
sometimes for three or four hours, as the otter gets
into other dens, is traced there, and bolted again. An
otter hunt is most exciting sport, and when the coup
de grace is given, the otter having been "tailed" as he
crossed some shallow place, men and hounds have
generally had enough excitement for one hot day.

Will Ryder says one of the best things that can be
purchased in Oakland is a ticket for 'Frisco. Next to
this good thing is the pair of Cocker Spaniels owned
respectively by Ryder and Elvin G. Wixom; Ace of
Spades and Duke W. Duke is a great swimmer and
diver and can stay under water for 30 seconds. Aca,
an eight months old puppy has been taught among
other tricks, to jump up on a piano stool and pat the
instrument with his fore feet. The dog seems to enjoy
very much the variety of sounds he can knock out of
the piano.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The Christmas number of Man's Best Friend is a
good one — full of interesting matter and illustrated
with handsome half tones. Its typographical style
and appearance is a model to be followed.

From Mr. Clarence A. Haight, tho Coast agent of
E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., of Wilmington,
Delaware, the Breeder and Sportsman has received
a copy of their centennial calendar. The coming year
will be the one hundredth anniversary of this great
powder making firm's business. Enclosed around each
calendar is an historical insert in which each quarter of
a century is commemorated in an appropriate manner.
The mills began the issuing of powder on the Brandy-
wine, near Wilmington, Del., January 1, 1802. In this
historial insert is given a brief mention of the work
accomplished with Dupont powder during the century
that it has been issued. The first illustration on this
insert refers to Perry's Victory on Lake Erie, which
was so much of a historial event that the story was
told on canvas that hangs in the capitol at Washing-
ton and in the Columbus (O.) State House, from which
engravings have been made that appear on the $100.00
National bank note.

The next illustration has reference to the period of
civilization. The struggle with the Indians in the
Middle, Western and Southern States. This formed
a large part of the history of our country during the
past century.

The next illustration is a primitive coal mine sug-
gesting the great development of the coal and mineral
interests of the country, which were promoted largely
by the use of Dupont powder.

The smokeless powder feature is then taken up,
and the growth in this since DuPont Smokeless was
patented in 1893, is so far beyond expectations that
during the past year, notwithstanding a heavy increase
in the facilities for manufacture, the company was not
able to fill their orders; however, the capacity has
been greatly increased and in the future they expect
to care for all the additional volume of trade that will
come.

The unfortunate civil strife of '61 to '65 is not men-
tioned, the Company preferring to make no mention
of this great national misfortune. They do, however,
find the climax of their story for the century in the
fact that at the battle of Santiago, when the Spanish
fleet was destroyed, DuPont powder was exclusively
burned in the guns, and furnished transportation to
the shells which did such great work; perhaps this
should be qualified slightly. Although the Company
had equipped the Oregon before sne loft the Pacific
Coast with her full quota of DuPont powder sent by
trains from Wilmington, it is barely possible that she
had aboard of her a remnant of powder made by the
California Powder Company, which would not bear the
name "DuPont" on the cases, and it is probable that
none of this was used. Every other ship at Santiago
carried DuPont powder exclusively. Not a pound of
any other make was used.

This calendar and historical insert is sent to all
sportsmen and dealers who desire a copy so long as
the edition lasts, provided the parties enclose the
amount of postage — three cents. The Company will
have no extra copies for art and calendar collectors.

An amusing story is told concerning the win of W.
Feige's English Setter Buckwa over the Eastern dog
Oakley Hill at the last May bench show in this city.
Oakley Hill was listed in the catalogue at $10,000.
Buckwa, in an adjoining bench stall was listed at $75.
When the latter won over the $10,000 crack, his young
owner immediately placed a "For Sale" in Buckwa's
kennel announcing that he was for sale at the price of
$10,001.

The Union Metallic Cartridge Company, we are in-
formed by Mr. E. E. Drake, their Pacific Coast man-
ager, will not issue a calendar for 1902. Already many
inquiries and mail requests have been received, the
company's many friends assuming that the customary
issuance of the annual series of elegant calendars would
not be discontinued this year.

County Game Laws in Force.

The present State Game and Fish Laws are in force
and unchanged in the following counties:

Alameda.
Colusa,
Contra Costa,
Merced.

Monterey,
Santa Cruz,
San Benito,

Solano,
San Joaquin,
Sonoma.

It has been estimated that during the two and one-
half months open season for deer in New York State
over seven thousand deer were killed.

The holiday number of Shooting and Fishing is a
handsomely gotten up publication. The front cover
illuminated design— a winter scene, the returning
hunter with an immense bronze breasted wild turkey
on his shoulder trudging back to camp o'er the snow-
covered landscape— is a sportsman's ideal, indeed.
The reading matter and illustrations are interesting
and appropriate.

Representative Curtis, of Kansas, has introduced a
bill in Congress which is destined, if passed, to provide
for the preservation and propagation of the bison or
American buffalo. This bill contemplates the estab-
lishment of a reservation of 100,000 acres of land to be
leased for a period of twenty years. The location of
the preserve will be in either Lincoln or Eddy counties,
New Mexico. The bill empowers the Secretary of
State to lease the preserve to some competent person,
who shall take control of the range and superintend
the breeding and raising of a herd of buffalo.

From late and authentic reports on the game of
Alaska, it would appear that there is comparatively
little animal life in the frozen north outside of the
portions that abut on the seacoast. Game is reported
as very scarce, while the hardships attending its pur-
suit often render the game not worth the candle. A
few bears, a few wolves, scattering grouse and such
like, are about all that are met with, unless a regular
hunt is taken into the haunts of the caribou and
moose. As a game country, Alaska seems to have
been over-rated, and thousands of rifles that have
gone into Alaska, particularly those that went with
men bound for the region of the Klondike, will never
have a chance of being tried at game. The gigantic
Alaskan grizzly is an object worth hunting, but he is
not found on every hillside.

The following counties have adopted ordinances in
regard to fish and game, and which are now in force
as follows;

Fresno— Quail, Nov. 1 to Feb. 1.

Marin— Male dper, Aug. I to Sept. 15. Quail, Oct. 15 to Jan. 15.
Shootingon county roads or in cemeteries prohibited. The use of
"pump" gun, repeating shotgun or any kind of magazine shotgun
for hunting in the county is prohibited.

Monterey— Sea gulls and blue cranes, killing of prohibited. Use
of guns of larger caliber than 10-gauge prohibited.

Santa Clara— Quail, Oct. 8 to Feb. 1.

San Mateo-Quail, Nov. I to Dec. 1. Rail, Oct. 15 to Nov. 15
Shooting from boats at high tide prohibited.

A Dubuque, la., grocer was arrested for having more
game birds in his possession than the law allows. The
fine is $10 for each bird in excess of the legal number,
each bird over twenty-five constituting a separate
count. The informer gets $5 and the prosecuting
officer $5 on each count, so that if the law is enforced
he will have a nice little bill to settle. Not a great
while ago a man in the interior of the State paid a fine
of $700 for violation of the game law.

Foxes as pets are not uncommon, but as a rule foxes
never quite get over their constitutional fear of hu-
man beings, but are usually shy and treacherous.
Still, it appears they can become accustomed to a do-
mestic life, even to rearing a litter of cubs close to a
human dwelling, as evidenced in the following anec-
dote: "A litter of four cubs (foxes) about six weeks old
are in my garden. I can see them from my windows
playing around the hole of their den early and late;
sometimes in the daytime. My little boys are delighted
with them, and are always on the watch to see their
funny antics, tumbling and rolling over the old vixen.
I must now tell you the origin of the litter. The vixen
is quite tame, having been brought up by me since she
was a cub. She is now three years old and quite a
pet. It is most amusing to see her play with a young
retriever dog, even now that she has a family — the
first she has had. A year since she was flirting with a
dog fox, and perhaps it was the same that found her
out in the season time, as I often saw pad marks
around my house." This interesting little anecdote is
told in an English sporting paper, and shows that
even foxes can become more semi-domesticated.

Jackson's Napa Soda is soid in every city, town and
hamlet in the State.

Can foxes climb trees? This is a question that has
often been asked, aud as often replied to in the affirm-
ative. In Florida the foxes when pursued by hounds
will tree nine times out of ten, scaling a young pine
tree with the agility and ease with which a common
house cat can do the trick, writes an Eastern corre-
spondent. The reason is not far to seek. Water is
quite near the surface over the whole of the peninsula,
and consequently there is no sort of refuge in a deep
underground den in such sandy soil. "Gophers, "that
is, land tortoises, do make shallow burrows in the soil,
and occasionally a fox takes refuge temporarily in one
of these gopher holes; the refuge is merely temporary,
for he is easily dislodged. AH the foxes in Florida are
of the gray variety, and have long claws like a cat:
these long claws ars suppesed to be due to the soft and
sandy naturo of the soil which prevents their being
kept down to a proper length. The claws on dogs'
feet, too, grow to an unconscionable length in Florida.
Thus the foxes being armed with these long, almost
prehensile claws, they find no difficulty in climb'ng any
pine tree they can almost grasp around, even if there
is no branch within thirty or forty feet of the ground.
The "Crackers, " who do a good deal of fox hunting,
generally dislodge them from their perches with a well
aimed pine knot, a good supply of which are to be
found within easy reach all through the Florida pine
woods.

The Southern fox-hunter looks down with a sort of
pitying disdain on his Northern brother who shoots
foxes on runways. To a Southerner, as to an English-
man, it seems like murder to shoot a fox. In Ken-
tucky, Virginia, the Carolinas. Georgia and Florida
there is no better sport than rid ing behind a fast pack.
The country is negotiable on horseback, and the rid-
ing is good. But take it up in Maine or in Connecti-
cut, what chance is there of riding to hounds? Dens
in the rocks are always handy, and fast hounds soon
"hole" their fox. But let a fox be roused from his
bed by a slow trailing hound, the fox will not go to
ground unless he is absolutely obliged to do so. He
will, on the contrary, keep playing along a little ahead
of the hound. The only way to get his pelt is to lie in
wait for him and to let him have the contents of your
shotgun or rifle. To be a successful foxhunter in the
North you must have just as good but not as fast
hounds as they have in the South, and you must know
just as much about foxes and their ways and runways
as the best man in the South. If more Southerners,
recounts the same writer, would atte: d the annual
trials of the Worcester Fur Club or the Brui
Fur Club there would not be so much talk al
unsportsmanlike methods of Northerners in sh
foxes.

Your teeth

When You Begin Trout Fishing.

Trout fishing is like the eating of olives in that a
taste for it generally has to be acquired. The whys
and wherefores of this fact were pretty well brought
out the other evening when a club man, whom his
friends address as the Judge, was informed that one of
his fellows intended to go to the Truckee next season
for his first experience in trouting while a guest of
his brother, who is an expert of long standing. The
Judge is an iconoclast, who takes a sledge hammer and
goes at your most cherished idols with a vim that
leaves them headless and armless. Generally you are
offended at the time, but forgive later on, wben you
find out that the Judge was entirely right. His friends
were not surprised, therefore, when he began:

"That brother's lying awake nights thinking just
what he'll do to you. And he'll do every bit of it, too.
You 11 go to Verdi with a headful of nonsense you've
learned out of books. You'll carry a revolver for
possible bears, and you'll buy two new rods and every
fly from the Benn's Martha to the brown hackle.

"Some morning that brother will waken you at 3:30.
He'll feed you a small sandwich and march you across
two miles of rocky trail for an early start. Then the
glorious sport will begin.

"The bank is so badly fringed with brush that you
will have to wade the stream. You'll find the water a
ittle cold at first. That brother of yours will tell you
that it will be warmer soon. Then you will find there
are more than a million mosquitoes to every cubic yard
of space. You can't see through their mass, and when
it comes to holding your rod steady that's out of the
question, with the little devils blackening your hands
and face and neck. You try to hold your rod and slap
mosquitoes at the same time, making a dismal failure
of both undertakings, until your brother produces a
bottle which he tells you contains "skeeterizer." You'll
put some of this on your face and hands, and the in-
sects will stay away for a little while. You'll wish you
could stay, too. You'd be willing to undergo a trans-
migration and come to earth as a mosquito, just to get
away from yourself and the odor of that liquid.

"Now, you and your brother start to wade down
stream, fishing side by side. You begin to notice that
the flies don't work so well here as they did in the
back yard, where you were practicing. In the first
place the line is wet now and sticks in the guides.
Then there is brush, and when you give your rod the
backward swing that ought to straighten your line
out behind you and prepare it for the forward shoot,
you find it caught fast on a limb just a little higher
than you are able to reach. You get it free in time
and catch up with your brother, who has fished ahead
and rounded the bend to a place where there is no
brush.

"Here you let out your line for a long cast, feeling
sure there will be no overhanging limbs in the way
this time. You make a frightful throw, and find the
line wrapped about the end of your rod in a tangle
that would tempt a saint to profanity. You start to
unravel it. The 'skeeterizer' has evaporated and you
swear you will not put on any more. But the insects
are thick, and every move you make toward untangling
the line ends in a slap.

"Now is the time you begin to suspect that if you
ever get home again you will eschew trouting forever.
At last, in sheer desperation, you cut off the end of
tl. "* line and let the tangled part go down stream by
iti elf.

'The sun is up now, and you can feel that the
\ j.rmer water your brother told about is nearly due.
Instead, it feels colder every minute. It has ceased
being merely 'too cold,' and has a piercing sharpness
which suggests that some one is cutting the muscles of

your legs with a very, very sharp knife,
chatter till you lose all control ovrr them.

"You haven't caught a fish, of course. You've been
too busy entangling your line for that. Your brother
is pulling in a nice one every now and then, and you
feel that you could stand the cold water and, maybe,
the mosquitos if you could get a few of the beautiful
spotted fellows. Now you reach a nice, deep hole
under an overhanging tree. You feel sure there are
fish there. You let your flies drift under the tree top,
and, sure enough, a beauty rises at the blue rail on the
end of your leader. Then you, poor fool, strike so
hard that your line comes clear out of the water and
catches hard and fast in the tree. Your brother tells
you that fisherman's etiquette demands that a man
with a line so fastened shall stand still while his com-
panion fishes out the hole. So you stand and fight
mosquitos while he takes the big fellow that rose to
your fly and a couple of others.

"You don't want to lose those flies, so you wade in
to get them out. The water comes up above your
waist, and the pain as of sharp knives ascends to high
water mark. Some way you are not perfectly happv.
Trouting does not seem to be such a charming sport
after all.

"When noon comes you are famished, but when you
reach for the sandwich in your pocket you find it
soaked into a liquid state. You want to go home, but
you don't dare tell your brother. Cold, hungry, mos-
quito tortured, and, worst of all, disappointed, you
vow you will never go to a stream again. When eve-
ning comes you would give anything for a horse and
carriage to take you home but your brother has pro-
vided against that, and you have to tramp home over
the stumps, logs, brush and rocks. Then you'll swear
that the fellows who go after trout are a lot of faddists
who pretend to like the sport to be in style.

The Judge stopped talking, and, not knowing any-
thing better to say, I asked:

"Did you get such treatment when you began to
fish?"

"Exactly," be answered; "except the bunco steerer
who took me out capped the climax by slipping a bottle
of white varnish in the pocket where my 'skeeterizer'
was supposed to be. That varnish did not come off
my face for three weeks. I'm sorry I didn't kill the
villain that did it. Vowed I'd never fish again. But
I did, just as you will, and I got to be a crank on the
subject."

Stocking Lakes With Fish.

BY J. MAYSE BALTIMORE.

Scattered through the northern part of Stevens
county, Washington, are a number of small, pictur-
esque lakes. Some of these bodies are so small as to
scarcely merit the appellation of "lake." Really, they
are only ponds, or mere reservoirs.

Nevertheless, they are not lacking in the elements
of beauty. Without an exception these little sheets
are romantic and attractive features of the country.
In many respects the tarns are peculiar, if not re-
markable.

Generally, they are located in the heart of mount,
ams. All the environments are wild, rugged and
titanic. Strange to say, some of the lakes are situated
along the very crest of lofty mountain ranges, and
enjoy an elevation of from 1000 to 2000 feet above the
intervening valleys. Often the mountains on whose
heads the lakes are located are isolated, and there are
no higher points within a radius of miles. Here is
presented a paradox. "Water will not rise higher
than the head." This is an ancient and very true
saying; but the puzzling question is, from whence
comes the waters which supply these bodies?

There is one lake which lies on the very crest of a
mountain overlooking the Kettle river. This beautiful
little sheet is not less than 1800 feet above the valley.
There are no other mountains within a radius of
leagues which are as high. This lake is fed by hidden
springs. The outlet is also concealed. Its waters are
pure, fresh and cold. Other lakes are similarly
located.

However, in many instances, small streams flow into
and out from these bodies. The huge mountains are
largely composed of rock, and, almost invariably, the
lakes are hemmed about with solid and high banks of
stone. For this reason some of the lakes cannot be
reached without difficulty and some danger. The
lakes are located in the north half of the Colville
Indian reservation, and the country is sparsely settled
by the w kites.

There is another peculiarity about these lakes. A
few of them contain small trout, but most of them are
Ashless. Indians affirm that those which contain no
fish have always been so. Still, for this, there may be
a good reason. All these mountains are full of min-
erals, copper, iron and lime predominating. The
water of many of the streams and springs emptying
into the lakes is strongly impregnated with these min-
erals. This, of course, is unwholesome for fish.

Opposite the town of Bossburg and a few miles
north of the Columbia river are located three pretty
little lakes. They are probably 1500 feet above the
river, and command a magnificent sweep of landscape.
Into and out from these lovely bodies flow small
brooks. The waters are clear and cold and free from
any mineral impregnation.

Though the lakes are situated very near one an-
other, there are no visible connections. Of course
there may be subterranean connections.

So far as known the lakes have never contained any
fish. Very recently an application was made to the
proper department at Washington to have these three
lakes stocked with trout. With this request the
Government promptly complied. A few weeks ago
about 8000 fish arrived at Bossburg and were soon set
at liberty in these pure lakes. The number of fish
were divided as nearly equal as possible.
The trout came directly from some Government

hatchery in Colorado, and arrived in excellent condi-
tion. They were about an inch in length and very
frisky little chaps. In a few years they will be large
enough to grace a platter. However, the fish will be
jealously guarded and protected by the game warden.

Efforts are being made to have the Government sim-
ilarly stock a number of other lakes on the reservation.

Some ten or twelve years ago the Government
stocked a number of large lakes through middle-east-
ern Washington with trout, black bass, carp and
perch. These lakes now contain almost countless
numbers of the several species.

This State is not exempt from the "game hog," and
the wardens have seen to it that the close season has
been strictly observed. During open seasons there
have been no "records broken." The same vigilance
will be observed by the officials regarding the lakes in
the Colville reservation.

From recent reports it is evident thas a good run of
steelhead is on now in Russian river and that angling
for these game coast stream fish will remain excellent
until the rain will cause the river to rise and allow the
fish to get over the riffles and proceed up stream.
There has not been a really good fall fishing season for
the angler on the river for about four years. A num-
ber of local anglers are at Duncan's Mills and vicinity
at present, this contingent will be augmented by the
arrival of others next week.

In past seasons the knowing anglers generally
awaited the advent at the river banks of Al Wilson,
Manuel Cross and W. R. McFarland — these three
oxperts are thoroughly familiar with the stream and
the ways of the steelhead. Wilson was fishing there
this week and landed a number of large fish. The
Wilson spoons, Nos. 2, 3 and 4, the red fly and a piece
of shrimp and the double hook baited with salmon roe
are the lures used.

Striped bass fishing has been somewhat dormant for
several weeks past, but few fishermen have been forth
trolling for the game and well flavored salt water fish.
Bass are still to be caught however — last Sunday Al
Gumming trolling in Petaluma creek landed three well
sized fish and a party of anglers in another boat hooked
five bass.

Local sportsmen have, with but few exceptions, for
the past two weeks enjoyed excellent duck shooting.
Reports from particularly the club preserves indicate
that the favorable weather conditions have enabled
shooters to get many limit bags. Two weeks ago
spoonbills were plentiful on the Suisun marshes. This
week the hunters have dropped more teal than any
other variety. At several shooting resorts on the
Suisun, notably the Pringle and Stewart ponds, tan-
vasback ducks are very plentiful. On the new ponds
and water sprig are found in fairly large numbers.
The best bay shore shooting has prevailed on the east-
ern shores and arms of San Pablo bay, where the
hunters have bagged hundreds of canvasback and
bluebills.

These two varieties of the duck family can be seen
daily on the surface of San Pablo bay and Richardson's
bay in swarms of countless thousands. It is not an
exaggeration to state that flocks a mile or over in
length are to be seen at any time on these waters
Along the Alameda marshes, inland, spoonbills, teal
and a few widgeon are the birds most frequently found.
Along the east bay shore these birds are supplemented
by "cans" and bluebills. The ruddy duck, wiretail or
spatty as they are called, are exceedingly plentifrl,
very easy to shoot, and strange to say looked upon by
most hunters as just about one peg better than a mud-
hen. Years hence our shooters will be wiser.

English snipe are found in many patches and have
lately afforded much sport.

Quail are still plentiful in many localities. Point
Reyes and several other localities in Marin county, as
well as the knolls and valleys in the vicinity of Niles
canyon are still worth visiting for a day's quail
shooting.

New York has a new law that California would do
well to copy. It provides a penalty for the possession,
for commercial purposes, of the skins or plumage of
wild and song birds. The law would be still more
commendable if it imposed a penalty for wearing bird
plumage. As an evidence of the way American birds
are being slaughtered for the adornment of hats, a
writer in the Scientific American has this to say of the
California vulture, a first cousin to the condor of the
Andes:

That the bird is destined to extinction is evident
from the fact that every collector or curiosity dealer
has a standing offer for all the birds and eggs they
can get. Thirty or forty years ago theseibirds were so
common that it was not unusual for the Mexicans to
catch them with a lariat, roping them after the vul-
tures had gorged themselves with food.

Southern California today is undoubtedly the princi-
pal retreat for the great birds, which will be hunted in
the winter from peak to valley, and from one live oak
grove to another until they, too, have joined the
majority.

The disappearance of this bird Can be traced to dif-
ferent causes: First, the pot hunter, who goes forth to
kill everything: second, the collectors, who sell their
"game," from bluebirds to vultures, to curiosity
dealers; third, poisoned meat set for coyotes and bears;
and fourth, Mexican miners in Lower California, who,
it is said, destroy the bird solely for the quills of their
plumes in the hollow part of which they deposit gold
dust.

The Boston Terrier bitch recently received by Wood-
lawn Kennels, whelped three puppies Thursday night,
two dogs and a bitch. The little "beansters" are
strong and robust and beautifully marked. The dam
was sent here by Geo. Bell, of Toronto, and is a good
one.

IgTHE FARM. H

Final Results of the Pan-American
Tests.

The final figures for the six months'
test of dairy breeds at the Pan-American
Exposition show that the profits above
feed costs made by the herds of the differ-
ent breeds were as follows:

Guernsey $230-10

Jersey 225.44

Ayrshire 217.68

Holstein 210.56

Red Polled 197.80

Brown Swiss 183.08

French Canadian 176 34

Shorthorn 172 84

PolledJersey 169 44

Dutch Belted 116.94

There were five cows entered of each
breed. The Tolled Jerseys and Batch
Belted herds suffered under special disad-
vantages, so that the final results do these
breeds some injustice.

Considered from the standpoint of the
butter-producer the important point is the
food cost per pound of the butter produced
by each herd. This works out as follows:

Breed Cents

Guernsey 9-3

Jersey 9.4

French Canadian 9.7

Ayrshire 9.8

PolledJersey 9.8

Red Polled . . ., '. 10 0

Holstein '. 10 9

Brown Swiss 11 0

Shorthorn 12.1

Dutch Belted 13.2

There were great differences in the per-
formance of the cows in some of the
breeds. The best Guernsey ate $29.16
worth of food and produced 354.26 pounds
of butter. The poorest Guernsey ate $24.30
worth of food and produced 214.87 pounds
of butter. The Holstein cow that made
the least butter of any cow of that breed
ate more food than the best Holstein.
The same thing was true in the Brown
Swiss and Shorthorn herds. The Holstein
cows ate the most and the Shorthorns
came next, while the Polled Jerseys ate
the least. The Holsteins made the most
butter of any breed, and if the value of
the whole milk is figured instead of the
value of the butter they made the largest
aggregate profit.

When the total value of butter, milk
solids and grain in weight are all taken
into account the amount of profit made
by each herd is as follows :

Holstein $273.87

Ayrshires, 242.52

Brown Swiss 313.63

Shorthorns ,-. 229.73

Guernseys 208.60

Red Polled. ; : 212 08

Jersey'. '. :. 207.19

French Canadian 191.40

PolledJersey.. ; 153 63

Dutch Belted 151 94

As in the case of the butter, the real
merit of each herd is determined, not by
the aggregate profit made, but the relation
the profit bears to the food consumed.
Taking into account the value of all the
milk solids, including butter, and the
gain in weight, the percentage of profits
made by each herd upon the cost of the
food consumed runs as follows :

Ayrshire 173

French Canadian 168

Holstein .. 166

Red Polled 153

Guernseys 152

Jerseys.' 150

Brown Swiss 144

Shorthorn 141

Polled Jerseys 140

Dutch Belted 117

It will thus be seen that considered
from the butter standpoint alone the
Guernseys made the best showing; while
taking everything into consideration, the
Ayrshires came out ahead. From the
standpoint of thedairyman who patronizes
a creamery or cheese factory, the butter
testis the one of principal importance.
The teat has been a notable demonstrat'on
of the superior value of the dairy breeds
for dairy purposes. As economical butter-

producers the G uernseys, Jerseys and
Ayrshires have held the position in the
front rank long assigned them. Of the
dairy breeds of less prominence the French
Canadians and Red Polls have demon-
strated their rights to a high rank. For
the production of milk, without regard to
to butter, the Holsteins took first place, a
position which has long been accorded
them.

A Satisfactory Silo.

I see a number of inquiries about cheap
silo construction, of which the foundation
seems to be a stumbling block. I have a
silo which has been in use for eight years,
and has always kept corn silage in good
shape. The foundation was certainly no
bother to me. It was made aB follows :
I started on a clay bottom having first
scooped out the top soil, leaving the inside
basin shaped then I put in ten good-sized
white oak posts, putting them in the
ground over three feet and let the top
stick out three feet. On this foundation
I put an eight-inch sill, spiking it firmly
to posts. Then I took my 2x8 twenty-foot
white oak studding and mortised them in
the sill. The frame was 9xl2j^ feet on
the inside, with square corners. I nailed
rough boards on inside of studding, and
on these put heavy tar roofing paper. (It
costal 25 per square.) Then finished the
inside with hard pine flooring, and
weatherboarded the outside, as silo was
built outside of barn.

A few days ago I examined the postB
and studding and found them as sound as
the day they were put in, but owing to a
tenant leaving some rotten silage in silo
all summer, I had to put in a new lining
for three feet up from the floor. The
silage rotted on account of rats getting in
and working on the bottom some, which
I will remedy now bj' putting cement in
bottom. The balance of lining is sound,
and it has never had a coat of paint or
anything else. Silage has kept well every
year from top to bottom, corners included,
except the instance I mentioned in regard
to rats. The pressure on sides pushed
them out of plumb about four or five
inches owing to the long studding, and I
was afraid several times it would burst, as
I learned later that the studding should
be put up in seven and eight-foot sections ;
but outside of thiB defect and absence of
cement on bottom, would build another
exactly he same way, for it is cheap, easy
to erect and keeps silage in . ood shape —

Plant Eucalyptus Trees. ■

Says the Williams Farmer: G. B. Har-
lan is preparing the ground to plant 300
eucalyptus trees on his place north of
Williams. The eucalyptus is a very thrifty
tree and will grow on any soil in the val-
ley. They make an excellent wind break
after a few years' growth, and when fully
grown make the best of fuel wood. It is
surprising that more of our farmers do
not plant these trees, as they would greatly
beautify the valley and enhance the value
of every farm. In sis years from now the
question of wood will be a much more
difficult and expensive problem than at
the present time, and one or two acres
planted to encalyptus trees this winter
would solve the question by providing an
abundance of wood at the very door of the
farmer.

in fact all those interested in like pur-
suits, should receive the bulletins issued
from time tc time by the agricultural
department of the State University.
AVrite to the department at Berkeley, ask-
ing that your name be placed on the list,
and the bulletins will be forwarded to you
as fast as issued. There is much valuable
information in these rppo ts and as it is
for the benefit of the farmers they should
take advantage of this opportunity to
keep informed.

Sent Absolutely Free on Receipt of Postal.

There is nothing like Asthmalene. It brings
instant relief, even in the worst cases. It cures
when all else fails.

The Rev. C. F. Wells, of Villa Ridge, 111., says: "Your
trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I can-
not tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it.
I was a slave, chained with putrid sore throat and asthma for
ten years. I despaired of ever being cured. I saw your ad-
vertisement for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting dis-
ease, asthma, and thought you had overspoken yourselves,
but resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment the trial
acted like a charm. Send me a full-size bottle "

We want to send to every sufferer a trial treatment of
Asthmalene, similar to the one that cured Mr. Wells We'll
send it by mail POSTPAID, ABSOLUTELY FREE OF
CHARGE, to any sufferer who will write for it, even on a postal. Never mind
though you are despairing, however bad your case, Asthmalene will relieve and
cure. The worse your case, the more glad we are to send it. Do not delay

Holiday Racing at Redding.

The following delayed account of racing held at Red-
ding, Shasta county, in this State, on the 23d, 24th
and 25th of December, reached us this week:

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The meeting
held here during Christmas week was a decided suc-
cess, both financially and otherwise. The racing was
good, the betting lively and some of the races were
hotly contested.

The first day, Monday, December 24th, the quarter-
mile dash was won by Tom Lafoon's Frenchy Stone in
0:23; and 0:24, and the same owner's mare Haidee won
the "half-mile dash in 0:491. The trotting and pacing
race for the 2:40 class was between Kinney Mac, owned
by Douglas Cone, of Red Bluff, and E. C. Wilkes,
owned and driven by James Cnmmings, of Redding.
Kinney Mac won in straight heats in 2:40 and 2:41.

The second day there was a 2:30 trotting and pacing
event between Kinney Mac and Billy Anderson, the
latter entered and driven by William Brown, of Red
Bluff. The race was won by Kinney Mac in 2:48 and
and 2:481 without effort. As Billy Anderson was no
match for Kinney Mac and all desired to see the latter
horse extended, the racing committee asked the vet-
eran driver L. E. Rowley to give them an exhibition
mile. The colt is but four years old, and the track at
Redding is very heavy and slow, but Mr. Rowley
brought him out and Kinney Mac was sent off with a
saddle horse to accompany him as a prompter. The
saddle horse proved to be rather too slow to be of any
benefit, but the colt stepped the mile in 2:21 very
handily and at no time did he seem to be fully ex-
tended. He has no record faster than 2:40, which he
made on the first day of this meeting, and the horse-
men here all predict that if he is taken through the
circuit this year he will prove himself a worthy son of
the great McKinney. He is a beautiful brown, stands
15.2, weighs 1050 pounds and is the image of that great
horse Zombro 2:11 by the same sire.

Christmas Day being a general holiday and the last
day of the races, the stores were all closed and Redding
turned out en masse. The feature of the day was
the free for all pacing and trotting race. There were
three entries — Deacon, entered by William Brown,
Ruby J., entered by F. N. Frany, and Kinney Mac,
entered by L. E. Rowley, all of Red Bluff. Kinney
Mac was drawn and the contest was between the other
two. Deacon had been through the California circuit
of 1901, and gained a record of 2:23. Ruby J. is an
old livery mare eleven years old and was taken out of
the livery stable only eight days before the race, so it
was thought she stood no chance of winning, but the
little mare showed she had speed and gameness still,
as she won as she pleased in straight heats, the time
being 2:27 and 2:22!. The first running race of the day
was a five-eighths dash, between John L., Geraldine,
Buckhorn and Haidee. Geraldine won in 1:03. The
last race was a three-quarter mile dash in which but
two horses started, Reason, owned by Smith of Red
Bluff, and Sky Blue, owned by Harry Winsley of
Redding. Reason won easily in 1:16. The racing was
well conducted throughout and those who attended
were greatly pleased. SUBSCRIBER.

country; conceived and handled as it was and has been
by the most prominent men of affairs in the city, it
has always been well managed and patronized by the
best element and Cleveland has always stood as a syno-
nym among horsemen as a place for honest racing and
sensational time.

"Our driving club built on such foundation is natur-
ally successful. We started seven years ago to make
world's records and we are still maintaining our posi-
tion, though following our lead, competition by clubs
in other cities is getting very keen. In this seven years
there have sprung into existence perhaps 150 driving
or matinee clubs that control probably nearly 5000
fast trotters and pacers. This means the interest of
many thousand men as owners and thousands more
men and women as interested spectators, and this is
only the beginning. What this influence may grow to
be is hardly conceivable. The 'horseless age' is a
myth, the 'horsey age' a reality. Our local club,
strong in numbers and qualitv of men, well supplied
with fast horses, will make the coming season one of
more interest than any past. One man I know of has
commissions from seven or eight different men to buy
them something good at prices ranging anywhere
from $2000 up to an unlimited amount. One of our
members offered $25,000 for a mare last season. A
horse sold in New York recently for $10,500 and the
purchaser remarked that if he could bring the horse
to Cleveland next fall and win the championship chal-
lenge trophy he would be satisfied if the horse then
died. Another man on refusing an offer of $10,000 for
his horse remarked that his horse was for sale at no
price, for he was to be prepared and pointed for an
effort to win this challenge trophy and that he would
consider it cheap if it cost him $2000.

''It has been said that a man offered over $50,000 for
the great Cresceus last summer in order that he might
win this cup. Already many men of Boston, New
York, Chicago, Pittsburg and other cities areplauuiug
to come to Cleveland next September for that cup.
They may take it away from Cleveland, but if fates are
kind to us they will have to come with the best kind
of tools, for they will get a horse race, and it looks as
if the world's wagon record might take a tumble."

Matinee Driving American Sport.

In a recent number of the Cleveland Plaindeahr, H.
K. Devereux writes theiollowing:

"Brilliant as has been the success of our local driv-
ing the past seven years, the promise for 1902 is even
for greater things. People have become educated to
matinee racing and they like it. A Saturday after"
noon in the spacious and cool grand stand at Glenville
track with good music to listen to, good friends to talk
to and exciting and interesting contests to watch,
make up a summer afternoon's entertainment and
pleasure that thousands of our good citizens have
learned to anticipate. This free and delightful enter-
tainment is made possible on account of the interest in
the sport and love of the horse shown by so many of
our prominent men of means, and their good sports-
manship and generosity. Cleveland, too, is peculiarly
adapted to the success of such an enterprise as this
driving club. We have always been what might be
termed a horsey city and our particular pet has always
been the very best American product in this line — the
American trotter. This has resulted somewhat from
the fact that Ohio has always stood in front as one of
the States that has given much attention to breeding
and raising good horses, and then, too, we are very
near the blue grass country of Kentucky — the very
center of the horse breeding industry. The fashion
and love for driving a fast horse was made many years
i go by the most prominent men of this then small city
and we have followed in their footsteps. Driving a
fast horse is a sport purely American, and no spot in
!.he United States is more truly American in the habits
vnd tastes of its residents than the Western Ri serve.
_>ur track has always been among the foremost in the

The matinees of the Sacramento Driving Club, the
first of which for the season of 1902 will probably be
given in April, will prove attractive for all lovers of
speedy roadsters. The club, which was organized last
fall, is in a healthy condition financially, and the best
of feeling exists among the inumbors, each of whom
hopes to astonish the others with the speed of bis
favorite at the first meet. The Driving Club just now
is resting. Many of the fast horses are out on grass,
and no dues will be collected during tho first three
months of the new year.

The club will use its best efforts to induce the Super-
visors, and especially Mr. Brooke, to oil the road from
the County Hospital north to the Lake House, which
would give a beautiful stretch of five miles. The road,
the members of the club say, will be easily graded, and
after the oil shall have been applied there will be
plenty of space for an excellent speedway. With a
compact, oiled track, heavy wagons will not take the
speedway, and the buggies will keep to the sides. It
is understood that a committeo will wait on the Super-
visors at the proper time and request that the improve-
ment be made.

"Albert Elkus will likely come out in tbe spring
with a new fast one," said a member of the club to a
Beeord- Union reporter yesterday, "and Harry Beil
may also be in line with a speedy one that nobody
knows anything about. Hugh Casey, if reports are
correct, has two good ones hidden away, and he may
be able to catch some of the hoys. In fact, every
member of the club has his eyes about him with the
hope of buying a good one that will show the bunch
his heels.

"Vet Tryon, during his last trip East, bought a new
bay pacer for George Clark. The colt has a record of
2:20, and the Mayor will have a place in the front rank.

"Frank Wright's Pearl Sinclair and Baby Button
are turned out, and they ought to come up good in the
spring. Wright is now driving J. E. Terry's mare
Margaretta. The mare's record is 2:12}.

"Homer Buckman is now driving the sorrel stallion
Fashion, owned by another member of .the club, and
C. W. Paine drives Peo, who is showing well and foot-
ing fast.

"Joe Bowers drives Silver Bee, and declines to take
the dust of the best of them. Silver Bee, it is under-
stood, is showing good form and may he expected to
set a fast clip when the season matinees open.

"S. L. Upson's mare Regina F. is resting, and Billy
Irwin's big sorrel horse is at Lodi in charge of Tom
Holmes.

"Frank Wright has a promising colt out of Upson's

mare Regina F. by Knight, sire of Anaconda. He will
bring the youngster out in the spring.

"John Batcher's horse Captain Hackett is going
very fast, and will make some of the good ones step
out to head him.

"William Trust's Candy Joe is out on grass, and Dr.
Weldon's Elevator is turned out at Gait. Frank Ruh-
staller's Monroe B. and Hanrahan's Gray Ghost are
both out for the winter."

Facts About a Great Stallion.

Early speed is natural speed, and natural speed is
inherited speed. The hightst test of early race horse
speed is ability to win the Kentucky Futurities. The
best bred mares in the country are annually entered
for these great yearly events, and the colt that wins
must be of the highest class. The special cross that
recurs with more frequency in the Kentucky Futurity
winners than any otber is that of Baron Wilkes.

His son, Oakland Baron 2:09}, won the three year
Futurity in 1895.

China Silk 2:16}, out of his daughter, won the two
year Futurity of 1896.

Fereno 2:101, by a son, won the two year Futurity of
1899.

Extasy, his daughter won second money in the three
year Futurity at the same meeting.

Fereno 2:101, by a son, won the three year Futurity
of 1900.

Peter Stirling 2:11.!, by a son, won the three year
Futurity of 1901.

Oxford Boy (2) 2:20, winner of the two year Futurity
of 1901, has daughters of Baron Wilkes for both
grandams.

At seven meetings the blood of Baron Wilkes is first
six times, and second once when pitted against the
greatest young trotters in the world. In the first,
second and third generations, it is first to the wire
against all comers. Can there be better evidence of
its value in producing and reproducing early winning
speed of the right kind than this?

Baron Wilkes has been recognized for years as the
leading money-winning sire, and this fact is reflected
in his 2:15 list. Ho and Onward lead with the same
number of trotters and pacers that have records of
2:15 or faster. But no family has reproduced Futurity
winners with the unerring certainty which distin-
guishes that of Baron Wilkes.

His fastest trotter aud largest money winner is Oak-
land Baron 2:09}. This horse stands out prominently
as his best racing son, for he was a winner in his two,
three and five year old form. At two years he trotted
to a record of 2:14!, extreme natural speed, and after
this supreme effort stayed sound and good enough to
win $25,000 in races. What other stallion has done as
well?

Oakland Baron is a brown horse, sixteen hands high,
of the greatest stamina and of powerful muscular de-
velopment. Its family is noted for its good bone, but
he has the one grand requisite in a stock horse many
of the family lack, and that is size. This probably
comas to him through his dam, Lady Mackay, daughter
of Fleetwiog (dam of Stamboul 2:0Ti, Ruby 2:19|, etc.),
a daughter of Hambletonian 10. Fleetwing's descend-
ants run large, as a rule, and a cross to The Moor,
through Lady Mackay and Silver Threads, has a ten-
dency to maintain the size and speed both. Lady
Mackay is bred much the same as Stamboul 2:071, the
great sire, race horse and show winner. Both are
from the same dam, and by 6ons of The Moor. The
pedigree of Oakland Baron is a fine example of what
may lie termed alternate line-breeding. Starting with
his fourth dam by Abdallah, there is an outcross to
George M. Patcben, brought in to Hambletonian. out
again to Silver Threads and The Mom-, then back to
the original line through Baron Wilkes, three times to
the Abdallah, and twice out to the Clay lines. It is a
happy combination, keeping alive the size, speed and
constitutional vigor of the families, and resulting in
the highest type of harness race horse, as instanced
by Oakland Baron. His stud career has started
auspiciously, for from his early foals have already
eome Dreamer (3) 2:14}, Lucie May 2:221 and Oakland
Pilot 2:29.

Oakland Baron heads the Penn Valley dispersal sale
at the midwinter January auction in Madison Square
Garden, and it will be well for breeders who wish to
raise stake winners and tbe best type of good sized,
fast and fine looking, light harness horses to weigh
well the claims of this stallion, and consider the facts
that are here presented. No stallion lives or ever has
lived of more prospective value.

American Stallions in Russia.

In a letter to a friend in this country Frank Starr,
who is training horses at St. Petersburg, says there
are twenty-five American stallions in the stud in
Russia. Among them are such well known trotters as
Baron Rogers 2:09J, formerly owned by J. Malcolm
Forbes; Bayreuth 2:20! formerly driven on the road in
New York by Thomas Lynch;" Jr.; Nominee 2:17},
from the Empire City Stud of William Simpson; Edgar
2:16J; Alvin 2:11; Oiiund L, 2:16}; Winterset 2:24!:
Good Gift 2:28; Wilkesdale 2:29; Quarter Cousin 2:23J,
and Harlo 2:23},

A well bred stallion, full brother to Listerine 2:13.1,
is offered for sale by Geo. Warlow, of Fresno. This
horse has two crosses to Onward, the most successful
sire of 1902 as regards race winners. He is by Atha-
don, that held the yearling champion record of 2:27 in
1891, and is out of an Onward mare that has produced
two fast performers. He is a three year old and very
promising. See advertisement in this issue for full
pedigree.

A New Zealand Starting Machine.

Handicapping trotters and pacers is successfully
done in Europe and Australia but has never yet been
satisfactorily accomplished in this country, the home
of the trotting- horse and the cradle of harness racing-.
The reason is that the foreigners are willing- to accept
a start from a standstill, while American owners and
trainers insist on their horses being- in motion and "on
their stride.'' A majority of the trotting- races in New
Zealand, where trotting is receiving much attention in
recent years, are handicaps and the horses start on a
time handicap. The horse considered the slowest is
sent away first, the next horse a certain number of
seconds later and so on. Horses handicapped in the
same notch get the word together. The usual cus-
tom in that country has been to have the starter hold
a watch and sound a gong for the horses to start by,
positions having been drawn and the horses lined up
with the horse to be first started at the pole. As the
bell rings for each one he starts from a standstill, and
the training of a trotter in New Zealand therefore in-
cludes teaching him to stand quietly and get away
quickly and on a trot when called upon, which accounts
for the large number of well-mannered horses seen on
the tracks there. The New Zealanders are thor-
oughly up to date in racing affairs, and many devices
that tend to make racing popular with the public have
originated in that country.

On our first page to-day, a new machine for starting
trotting and pacing races is shown. This is the inven-
tion of Mr. A. Commetti, of Petone, and was used for
the first time at the Wellington meeting last Novem-
ber. As will be seen from the engraving the machine
has something the appearance of the jockey boards in
use on American tracks and contains in their proper
order the numbers worn by the horses to start. It
works by a clock device and can be set to start any
number of horses that may be handicapped. When
the horses are lined up, the machine is set going and
the gong sounds for the first horse to get away. When
the required number of seconds have elapsed another
sound of the gong gives the signal for the second horse
and after the proper interval the third horse is dis-
patched in a like manner and so on, the gong sounding
automatically at absolutely correct intervals. It is
said that the trial of the machine at Wellington was
very successful.

Agents Are Too Greedy.

The fact that the agents of the British Government
are now making the rounds of the various running
tracks buying up broken-down thoroughbreds gives
some idea of the difficulty which these agents are hav-
ing in securing the necessary horses for the prosecu-
tion of the war in South Africa. — Exchange.

The British agents and their sub-agents are not hav-
ing as great difficulty in securing suitable horses as
most people imagine. In the system of "graft" which
prevails whenever supplies of any sort are to be pur-
chased for the use of armies, a fair price for a fair
horse is seldom paid to the breeder or horse owner.
There are so many "cuts" to betaken out of the prices
paid by the government before the money reaches the
original owner that he is loth to part with his stock
for the very small prices offered him. For horses
which the British Government pays $125, the original
owners get about $50 or perhaps not more than $40,
so that it is no wonder there is great difficulty experi-
enced by the agents in securing a supply. Broken-
down thoroughbreds (geldings, especially) can be pur-
chased from $10 to $25 per head, and the foisting of
these animals onto an army is ridiculous, as they are
totally unsuited to the requirements of war, while
their ailmeDts are nearly always in the legs and feet,
making them unfit to travel great distances or carry
weight. The British Government could get all the
horses necessary in the United States if its agents
would pay a fair market price for good horses, but so
long as they insist on making from one hundred to two
hundred per cent, profit on every horse sold, the
shortage will exist and the South African army will
be mounted on broken-down horses or any old thing.

Occident and Stanford Stakes.

Breed Draft Horses.

Draft horse breeding has a hold upon the farmers
never before equaled. It has come to be the substan-
tial business side of horse breeding, best adapted to
the farm with the market demanls greater than the
supply and consequent advance in prices. There has
never been such an opportunity for horse breeding.
The whole world wants good draft horses. Exporters
ai*e unable to secure one half as many as they want,
and despite automobiles and electric cars our great
commercial prosperity is eager for more big draft
horses with vim, beauty and action for which a biof
premium is paid above ordinary prices. This should
encourage farmers to breed vigorously for the top.
Secure the very best high grade and pure bred draft
mares and breed to the very best sires then bend
every energy to develop these colts by vigilant care
and abundant feed.

Secretary Geo. W. Jackson of the California State
Agricultural Society sends us the following list of
paymonts made on January 2d for the Occident and
Stanford Stakes.

There are 29 third payments of $10 in the Stanford
Stake of 1902 against 23 third payments made in this
stake of 1901.

The Occident Stake of 1902 has 32 payments of $25
each against 25 in the stake of 1901.

The Occident Stake of 1903 has 66 second payments
against 59 made in the stake of 1902.

These payments show a healthy increase in trotting
horse interests in California. The payments made are
as follows:

Middelburg, and in the interval the Boers, gaining1
confidence, inflicted on us the disaster of Nitrals Nek,
not to speak of their successive and too often success"
ful swoops on our line of communications. But it is
unnecessary to go through the whole list of "unfortu-
nate incidents " The difficulties experienced in bring-
ing about the end of the war are present in all our
minds, and the same cause, the want of horses, is ut
the root of them all. The truth is, our establishment
has always been starved. In peace, the "effective" of
horses amounts to something short of 19,000, against
the 45,000 of Italy, the 78,000 of Austria, the 125,000 of
Germany, the 1+0,000 of Russia and the 143,000 of
France. In times of war our South African experiences
have demonstrated it to be an unknown quantity.
Other European nations, on the other hand, have
special means of ascertaining, and have madu special
provisions for similar emergencies. But the facts and
figures mav be left to speak for themselves.

In peace time our home army requires between
18,000 and 19,000 horses. We purchase about 1600
horses a year, and there are two remount departments
at Woolwich and Dublin. By the National Defence
Act of 1888, Government was empowered to purchase
or hire animals required whenever an order for the
embodiment of the militia should be in force. A
system of registration which was introduced provides
for the registration of between 14,000 and 15,000 reserve
horses at a fee of 10s. a horse. Some 10,000 of these
are draught horses; the rest are fitted for riding.
And this is practically the only provision England
makes for putting her mounted forces or her transport
on a war footing. How we should bear the strain of a
war in which we could not buy and import horses from
other countries perhaps nobody would like to say.

England's Lack of Horses.

An English paper, speaking of the lack of horses for
army purposes in that country, says:

Not until the eleventh hour has our army in South
Africa been horsed in a way to enable it to execute its
work in an efficient manner. After the occupation of
Bloemfontein, Lord Roberts paused perforce for nearly
two months while his army was being rehorscd.
Again, after he had driven the Boers before him to
Pretoria, he had to wait from June 5th until the last
week in July before he was in a position to advance on

Working Up a Circuit.

There is no more enthusiastic admirer of the trotting
horse as a pleasure animal than Mr. E. C. Peart, one
of the leading merchants of Colusa in this State. Mr.
Peart always takes an active interest in the loual fairs
and speed contests and owns quite a number of brood-
mares and promising colts. As one of the directors of
the local district fair association, he is very anxious
that a circuit should be formed by the associations
north of Sacramento and a series of fairs and race
meetings given this year. On the first of the year Mr.
Peart addressed the following circular to the Sec-
retaries and Directors of the different agricultural dis-
tricts in that portion of the State:

Colusa (Cal.)» Jan. 2, 1902.

Dear Sir: — Does your association contemplate hold-
ing a district fair at during this summer?

I believe your county has quite a State appropria-
tion. Would it not be a good idea for each of the
northern counties to call a meeting at some central
point to discuss this subject and arrange dates, etc.?

If we expect to hold fairs the earlier we move in the
matter the better and by co-operating we can have the
same class races, same size purses, etc., at each place.
This will be an inducement for horse owners to enter
all along the line.

I would be pleased to hear from you at an early date.
Yours truly, E. C. PEART.

There would be no trouble iu arranging three or
four good circuits in California this year if there was
one director iu each district who had as much interest
in the matter and half as much energy as Mr. Peart
possesses. We hope he will get many responses to his
suggestion and that the Northern California circuit
will be organized and announcements made within a
few weeks. The districts comprising it are among the
richest farming and stock breeding portions of Cali-
fornia.

There were eleven new additions to the 2:10 trotting
list during the past season, and strangely enough five
trace to George Wilkes and five to Electioneer, as
follows:

ELECTIONEER.

Dolly Dillou 2:07

Janice 2:08)4

Eleata (4) M:08*i

Cornelia Belle 2: to

Captor SXWi

The two that have neither Electioneer nor Wilkes
are May Allen 2:09.1 and All Right 2:09£.

The speed avoi*age of the Wilkes and Electioneer
divisions are each under 2:09, with a fractional advan-
tage to the former. The Electioneer is, however, the
younger class, and neither Eleata nor Captor had any
record prior to 1901.

All these trotters raced through the Graud Circuit.
The total earnings of the Wilkes quintette were
822.865, an average of $4873, and of the Electioneers
$2s,;i75. an average of $~>7!r> each. May Allen's earn-
ings in the Grand Circuit were $3750 and All Right's
$2120. Eleata, the youngest trotter in the lot, was the
largest money winner of the year, having earned
$17,925 in seven races. She combines Kentucky Prince,
Dexter and Electioneer blood.

The value of this table consists in showing the pre-
ponderance of extreme speed nnd money earning ca-
pacity to l"; in the two great lines of Electi
Wilkes, as against all the other strains of
blood. — Exchange.

■ Get ready for the meetings of 1902.

The Los Angeles Driving Club will hold matinee
racing on Saturday. January 25th.

Memphis will have a spring meeting that will equal
in importance any of the big Western meets.

The last quarter nf a raile which Cresceus trotted
in 2:07J at Dallas, Texas, un New Year's Day, was
made in 29£ seconds.

John Sawyer is working ten head of trotters and
pacers at the Seattle track which he pronounces one
of the best in the country.

Will Hogoboom has about a dozen horses in his
string at Walla Walla His stallion Lynmont will
make a good season there this year.

A Lexington horseman is in receipt of information
that leads him to believe Peter Stirling 2:11| will again
be in J. B. Chandler's stable in 1902.

Boralma divides honors lor the record for four year
old trotting geldings, 2:0S, with John Nolan, and for
five year olds, 2:07, with Lord Derby.

Charles Marvin, the veteran trainer and driver, has
gone to Hot Springs, Ark., where he will spend several
weeks under treatment for rheumatism.

Captor is in a class by himself in one respect. He is
the only 2:10 trotter that ever won a race in straight
heats, with each trotted in precisely the same notch —
2:092.

Daniel Lambert was the most successful broodmare
sire that ever stood in New England. His daughters
have produced close to 100 that have taken records of
2:30 or better.

Dr. Sphinx by Sphinx, out of Miss Dickey by Pilot
Medium, is the sire of the colt Tullnerprinz that
recently won a stake of 10,000 francs for two year old

trotters in Italy.

The inbred Cresceus yearling, owned by U. H.

Plant aud now at Walnut Hull fStcok Farm, has been
nicely broken to harness, and the caretakers say be
trots most attractively.

Charley Doble is wintering a string of horses i\
Biughamton, New York, [n the string are the Cali-
fornia bred horses, Thompson 2:14] by Boodle and
Connie 2:15-1 by Ketchum.

The stallion Erosmont by Eros is in training a
and will be given a record this year. He has taken to
pacing and the third time he had the hopples on paced
a mile in 2:311, last half in 1:14.

It is probable that Thornway will be trained and
raced by the veteran Orrin A. Hickok this year. This
colt is one of the fastest pacers in America to-day and
with luck ought to be in the 2:04 list before fall.

Neva Simmons 2:1 1 ^ has been consigned to Woodard

Lv Shanklin's February auction. She was a useful
mare on the turf last season, and under the skillful
handling of T. W. Price was among the best money
winners of 1901.

Andy Welch is planning a $10,000 raca for trotters
at the Grand Circuit meeting at Cincinnati this year.
Mr. Welch has not as yet determined upon the class
of the race, but will make it so as to bring to the post
as large a number of high class trotters as possible.

Several of our Eastern exchanges are referring (to
the mare Sweet Marie, by Mc Kinney, as a pacer. She
is as square a trotter as ever wore harness and when
she trotted two heats in a matinee race in 2:14, aud in
another walked over in 2:131, she never lifted her head.

See the list of Palo Alto broodmares in our adver-
tising columns that are to be sold at auction at the
Occidental Horse Exchange January 30th. They are
all grandly bred and in foal to some of the best stallions
in California. This is a great opportunity for buyers.

The twelve year old mare Bell Bird 2:22. a daughter
of Electioneer and the great Beautiful Bells is among
the mares to be sold at the Palo Alto auction sale in
this city on the 30th inst. She is in foal to Iran Alto
2:12}. What a great; mare she should be to breed to a
good Wilkes stallion. How much will she bring?

Santa Rosa Stock Farm reports the arrival last
Tuesday of a bay filly by Iran Alto 2:12^ outofYedral by
Nutwood, therefore a full sister to Thos. R. 2:1
champion four year old trotting gelding of 1901,
the 13 ,'gest money winner uf the trotters that were
campaigned in California Last year. She is also a half
sister" to Lynda Oak 2:18}, the greatest prod

tor of Guy Wilkes. Vedral cost Messrs. Pierce
. but $200 at the Vendome sale last month and it
- - ,ke a good deal more than that to purchase this
. s They are very proud of her.

John Phippen called on us last week prior to
for Dallas, Texas, where he is engaged in training the
voung Electrites on the farm of Major Exall. Mr.
Phippen has just finished his annual visit to bis family

and relatives in California and expects to return next
year to remain here.

It is announced that Geo. Spear will race Lord Derby
next year for hi- new owner, E. E Smathers of New
York* Spear has now in hand for next season:
Sphinx S. 2:03i, Iva Dee 2:12'. Cvx^y 2:13. Alice
Barnes 2:11]. Queen Wilkes, trial, 2:15, and severa
other good green ones.

Harrv Wilkes 2:13}, the fastest son of thi _
George" AT like?, is still living at the advanced _
twenty-five years, and is often driven by his
Ser or A". J. Keyes. of New Jersey. The old hero i-
full of vim, looks as fine as silk, and is said to be able
to display quite a bit of his old time speed.

Sandy Smith left town last Tuesday for the Aptos
Stock Farm, where he will pull his coat for the first
time since he got back from the Grand Circuit last
fall and go to work on the horses to be sent to the
Cleveland sale in May. Sandy was smiling when he
luft as if the idea of working was very pleasing to him.

C. W. Williams will again send his five great stallions
to Lexington, Ky., in 1902. Allerton 2:09} at fifteen
years old has ninety-one standard performers to his
credit, a showing never before equalled by a stallion of
the same age. He has this year added eight perform-
ers to the 2:20 list, and is the sire of six with records of
2:102 and better.

The Kentucky Stock Farm is in receipt of reliable
information to the effect that Beauseant, brother to
Boreal 2:151, Terrace Queen 2:09}, Velvet Rose, Ele-
gance and Nysa. owned by J. C. McKinney, Titusville,
Pa . will be trained at Memphis, at which place they
are expected to arrive about the first of February.
Beauseant only started once the past season, but failed
to gee a mark. Lee Shaffer will train these horses.

Within the last two years a half dozen or more of
New York's wealthy men have purchased farms near
;ity aud stocked them with trotting bred horses.
- . is .icing paid to the American trotter
now than ever, and although several bis breeding
farms have been discontinued owing to the death of
owners or other causes, more breeding will be done
this year than ever before and a much better class of
horses will be bred.

The government has issued a proclamation directing
the exclusion of horses and cattle from the Philippine
islands. Agents of the bureau of animal industry
have found after careful investigation that the horses
of those islands are afflicted with surra, a disease con-
; by our army horses sent to China from those
of the Indian regiment serving io that campaign in
the British army. The cattle have the rinderpest,
which is considered the, worst of all diseases among
ruminants.

Perhaps 2:08, known to Caiifornians as the ringer
Walter K., is showing all his old time speed over the
New York speedway. He is forever barred from
appearing in rares again, and is now owned by a gen-
tleman who only cares to use him as a pleasure horse.
It is said he can show quarters in 30 seconds to wagon
and that he holds his own when just right with the
best of the many high priced trotters and pacers that
are driven over New York's famous drive.

Scott Hudson will campaign a great string of trot-
ters and pacers in 1902. Audubon Boy 2:0o. Don Riley
2:l0| and Hawthorne (3) 2:13 will of course be included.
Kanawha Star 2:14]. a pacing son of Earl Medium,
will be with this stable next season. Baron Bell 2:18]
by Baron Wilkes has also been added to the string.
Other members of the stable are The Grazer 2:10;
Grace Arlington, trial 2:13|; Cash Jr. 2:20, trial 2:14;
Tertimin (3), trial 2:08: Orin B., trial 2:U$A: Bonnie

The price actually offered by W. L. Snow, the Ho r-
nellsviUe. New York, trainer, for Zolock 2:10] while in
this State, was $10,000, and it was made after Mi-.
Davies, owner of Zoloek, had refused a previous
of -S7500. Mr. Snow was acting for Mr. A. H. 3 [ill
a capitalist of Buffalo. New York, who is a relal
C. A. Winship of Los Angeles. Mr. Miller owns
Gazelle 2:11}, the dam of Zolock. It is Mr. :.

Circuit this vear and he states to all parties who ask
for a price on the horse that he is not for s I -

management of the Denver association propose that

if be trots or paces in 2:10 flat no fractions will be put
on to keep him in the next slower class. There will
be a fair field but no favors.

If the Orloff trotters improve as much in speed in
the next five years as they have in the past five, the
American trotter is likely to have a competitor in
Europe. An American trainer in Rustia says that the
Orloffs are breaking the record at every Russian
meeting, and that the championship mark is now
down to 2:14}. — Chicago Horseman'

There are three year olds and three year olds, but

there have never been many Ferenos. Her fastest

heat in the Futurity was won in 2:10^. and the handy

manner in which she accomplished the task stamped

her as a very great filly. Her equal was not out in

1901. Peter Stirling being the nearest approach to one

of her quality. Before going into winter quarters this

year Fere no trotted a trial mile better than 2:10. and

and late 2:1 2:2 lasses. She wasentered

matter was cleared up for a time. After her ringing
career, a year ago, Maggie B. was taken into Vermont
and bred to Alcander, and a few weeks ago wassbipp< d
to Clinton, where she was caught iu the fire.

Joe Smith has taken up a half dozen or so young
trotters and pacers and is jogging them into shape at
the Vallejo track, which is one of the best winter
tracks in the State. He has two three year olds by
Geo. Washington 2:16| that are large, fine looking
colts of much promise. Both are entered in the Occi-
dent Stake this ear. He also has a two year ol i
Washington entered in the Occident for 1903 that is
already showing well. It was a great pity that th--
sire of these colts died so young, as the progeny left
by him are in every instance big, strong, well boned
and muscular, with extra good looks and speed. Mr.
Smith has a two year old by McKinney 2:11 1 that is ;i
full brother to the fast colt Tom Smith, aod is as
promising a young trotter He was sold a few weeks
!S A. Smith of Vallejo for $600 and will be
trained. Another smith's -String is a two year

quite heavy with foal and after but eight weeks' work,
and is one of the most promising trotters in California.
Another prospective trotter that will be worked this
year is a six year old gelding by Geo. Washington out
of Economy by Echo. He was bred by the late By
Holly and purchased from his estate recently by Mr.
Thos. Smith, who believes he will be a fast horse.
Vallejo will give a fair this year and will very likely

San Francisco, Saturday, January n, 1902.

pvIRECTORS OF THE BREEDERS ASSOCIA-
tion will meet at the office of the Breeder and
Sportsman during the week of January 20th, and at
that meeting a date for the Summer meeting of the
association will be selected and some big early closing
purses announced for the slow classes. This will be
good news for harness horse owners and trainers, and
will start the harness racing season of 1902 in Califor-
nia off in good snape. Many district associations are
getting ready to announce dates and purses also by
February 1st. Horsemen can make calculations on
plenty of harness races for good purses this year.

that the kind of bookmaking we have had at our
District meetings is bad for the fairs and sometimes
bad for the books. The bettors do not like the odds
and look with suspicion on the books; consequently
many do not attend the meeting and the bookmakers
are forced in some instances to pay such large amounts
for the privilege that they are compelled to make
cinch books to play even. Thei*e is a general demand
for the return of the old system of auctions and
mutuels particularly on harness races. The horsemen
want it, claiming that the books refuse to take their
money if they stand a show to win and the man who
wants to make a bet larger than 82 or 85 frequently
finds it difficult to place his money under the present
system of syndicate bookmaking at any reasonable
odds.

IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE that the
* District Boards of Agriculture intending to give a
race meeting this year should make a public announce-
ment to that effect at the earliest possible date. The
reason that there were so few horses on the circuit
last year was because the Associations in California
waited too long before declaring their intentions of giv-
ing meetings, and many owners, being in doubt as to
whether or not they would have racing enough to
warrant the expense, did not train their horses.
Others, who would have preferred to have raced here,
having no positive assurance of a circuit in California,
were compelled, if they wanted to race, to make en.
tries in the eastern stakes, the entries to the impor-
tant ones closing while the prospect here looked very
dubious. The result was that the best horses and
many of the best known trainers, whose presence
would have added greatly to the interest and success
of our district meetings, were most conspicuous by
their absence. The management of some of the meet-
ings on the circuit, while intending to have a fair and
race meeting, did not announce it and declare their
dates for fear they would not get as large a bonus sub-
scribed by their local business men as they could by
whipping them into line through telling them that if
they did not pay up liberally they would get no fair.
A \ ery mistaken policy, as by getting out early and
taking a date and entkusiastically booming their meet-
ing the receipts fro ai other sources would have made up
many fold what little difference they could scare out of
a few grasping townspeople, who would be benefited by
a meeting, into giving more than could be wheedled
out of them through threats of "no money, no races."
Other things conspired to make last year a bad
one for the circuit. One was that a number of
Districts left their appropiiation from the State for
that year so as to draw it for two years and give
a larger fair in 1902. All that is needed to make
this the most successful year for the fairs and
race meetings that we have had on this Coast since
the heyday of the good old times is the immediate
and concerted action of our District Boards in
the formation of circuits, harmonious selection of
dates, amounts to be given in purses and premi-
ums and the return to a betting system where
the public makes the odds and the stake holder is not
interested in the result. The latter is considered by
every one to be of vital importance and by many to be
the leading cause of the loss of attendance and interest
in our trotting meetings. It is true that the book-
maker has been able to pay big prices for betting
privileges and that a stated sum of large magnitude
and cash in advance has been most seductive to Boards
of Directors with a prospect of having to go down
into their individual pockets to make up a deficit. But
to those who have studied the situation it looks like
the proposition of the penny on the end of the nose
obs.uring the dollar within arm's reach. A return to
the auction and mufcuel pools will be a return of confi-
de; ce and large attendance, big money from the gate,
la ger receipts for entrance to races and for other
1 . , ileges. It has been most conclusively demonstrated

ALL THE HORSES, mares, colts and fillies of the
Sonoma Stock Farm, the property of the late J.
B. Chase, Esq., are to be sold at auction in this city on
Tuesday, February 4th. This is an absolute dispersal
sale as every hoof on the place is to be sold. Many
famous thoroughbreds have been bred on this well
known farm. From the Chase paddocks have come
Hidalgo, who won many memorable races both at the
East and in California; Gilead, winner of the Thornton
and other stakes and conqueror of Rey El Santa Anita,
Hawthorne, etc.; DeBracey, who beat the best three
year olds in the Middle West and California and ran a
mile in 1:40; Monterey, one of the crack two year olds
of 1894, sired by Hidalgo; Marigold, who ran a mile in
1:41, two miles in 3:304 and four miles in 7:20}, the
world's race record for mares; Centella, winner of
twelve races and 89265: Kildare, winner of more than
twenty races: Morven, a heavy winner on the fiat and
over the sticks: Del Norte, who broke the Coast record
at a mile and a sixteenth; Top Gallant, winner of four-
teen races and "in the money" on fifty-three occasions;
Horatio, a good two and three year old; Phoebe Ann,
a winner East and West; Mischief, a stake winner and
producer: Glen Ellen, a winner and phenomenal pro-
ducer; Mystery, who won three Derbys and took the
measure of Geraldine and Acclaim; Manzanillo, who
won two races at Sacramento in 1S9S and defeated the
famous Libertine; Rebecca, a winner and one of the
most wonderful producers alive: Marian, her sister, a
good winner and the mother of Sir John, Sykeston,
Lady Marian, etc., and Modwena, a stake winner and
many others. The sale will be held at the old Killup
& Co. salesyard, 1732 Market street in this city. Mr.
W. H. Hord will conduct the sale.

THE YEAR BOOK of the Gentlemen's Driving Club
of Cleveland has been issued and our thanks are
due the club for a copy. This is volume 5 of the series
and is not only a very beautifully printed volume but
is handsomely and profusely illustrated. The book is
compiled by George A. Schneider, who has done his
work very carefully and creditably. The*-e are de-
scriptions and complete summaries of all the matinees
of 1901, and alphabetical lists of all the members of the
club and the horses owned by them with their records.
The club's trotting record is now 2:06|, thi3 remark-
able performance having been accomplished by the
peerless wagon trotter, John A. McKerron, the Cal-
ifornia bred son of Nutwood Wilkes 2:164. This is also
the world's best record of a trotter to a wagon driven
by an amateur. This horse has also earned for the
club the honor of winning the Boston Challenge
Trophy two years in succession, defeating the crack
wagon trotters of the country. The Gentlemen's
Driving Club of Cleveland has done and is doing a
great work in making matinee racing the greatest of
American sports as they absolutely divorce it from all
gambling features.

THE BROODMARES that will be sent to the auc-
tion ring in this city on the 30th instant by Palo
Alto Stock Farm are a grand lot. There are but
twenty five mares and three stallions catalogued and
it should not take an auctioneer more than half an
hour to sell them at good prices, if the horse breeders
of this State are wise, as there will be a bargain in
every mare sold. The list is not long, but what it
lacks in quantity it makes up in quality and that is the
principal thing necessary in horse breeding. Among
the producing mares to be sold are Anselma 2:294 by
Ansel, Elsie (dam of fivein thelist byGeneral Benton),
Lady Agnes by Electioneer, Lady well 2:164 by Elec-
tioneer, Morning Glory by Electioneer, Nellie Benton
by General Benton and Wildmay by Electioneer,
There are several young mares that are elegantly bred
and splendid individuals. The three stallions to be
sold are Azmoor 2:204, Altower and Menzie. Azmoor
is a son of Electioneer and the thoroughbred mare
Mamie C. that produced two standard trotters. He is
the sire of Betonica 2:104, one of the handsomest stal-
lions in America, of Azmon 2:134, Rowena 2:17, Bonni-
bel 2:17| and several others with fast records. Altower
is a four year old by Altivo 2:184, brother to Palo
Alto, and Menzie is a three year old by Mendocino
2:194 out of Lizzie by Wildidle, second dam Lizzie
Miller by St. Clair 656, third dam by St. Clair 16,675.
The dam of Menzie has produced three in thelist.
This sale will take place at the Occidental Horse Ex.
change on Thursday, January 30th, beginning at
11 a. M.

IT MAY INTEREST CALIFORNIANS who are
I interested in the future of our district fairs and
harness racing to know that there is a movement
among the thoroughbred horse breeders of New York
and vicinity to have laws passed by the Legislature of
that State which will prohibit bookmaking and confine
the betting on running races there to Paris mutuels.
One of the prominent racing dailies has taken the
matter up, though none of the later advocates of the
plan have presented the arguments and points that
have been advanced by that excellent journal, the
nd Driver^ which has advocated the change for
some time. Every person who studies the racing
situation from the standpoint of those who are inter-
ested in breeding and racing for true sport is aware of
the fact that bookmaking is injuring this great sport
and bringing it into disrepute.

READ THE LIST of high class horses to be sold at
the Fasig-Tipton Midwinter Horse Auction
which is to be held at Madison Square Garden, New
York from January 27th to February 1st. California
breeders who des:.re to get new and fashionable blood
for their farms should send for catalogues and pick out
some of the good things to be offered, as it is easy to
send on a commission to purchase, and it costs com-
paratively little to bring horses to California. The
great young stallion Oakland Baron 2:09} by Baron
Wilkes is in the consignment; Delmarch 2:111 by Ham-
brino out of a mare by Geo. Wilkes is also to be sold;
Castleton 2:10} by Wilton, Advertiser 2:15}, Axtello
2:15 and other grandly bred stallions and trotters are
catalogued. There are roadsters and race horses and
many of the best bred mares in America in the list.
Now is the time to buy the best that is offered at the
sales. Values are on the rise and the demand cannot
be supplied for years to come. California needs new
eastern blood. We are getting some but we need
more. The Fasig-Tipton sales offer the opportunity
to get it.

AN IMPROVEMENT has been made in the appear-
■*» ance of that excellent journal, the Rural Spirit of
Portland, Oregon. In beginning a new volume on the
first of the year it donned a new heading, which is
not only neat and artistic, but a great improvement
over the old one which has become so familiar to the
readers of the paper. Under the editorship of Mr.
M. D. Wisdom the Sural Spirit has become one of the
best papers devoted to live stock and horse news pub
lished in this countrv.

THE AMERICAN DERBY, §20,000 ADDED, with
many other rich stakes offered by the Washing-
ton Park Club of Chicago will close on Wednesday
next, January 15th. Don't let the date go by without
making entries in these stakes. They are among the
most valuable in America. A complete list, with con-
ditions, etc., will be found in our advertising columns.

WM. G. LAYNG, the well known horseman, has
selected and will ship to Japan on the City of
Pekin to-day the following thoroughbred stallions:
Imp. Mistral II., imp. Prospector and Alkoran by
imp. Duncombe. These stallions are royally bred and
absolutely sound, and a finer trio were never shipped
to the Orient.

Correction in Futurity Stakes Payments.

In the lists of payments in the Pacific Breeders
Futurity Stakes, printed on the oth page of this issue
of the Breeder and Sportsman, there is an error.

In the stake for mares bred in 1901, W. W. Smith's
second payment shoula have been credited to the mare
Maggie by Altamont, bred to Vinmont instead of
Lady Clara bred to the game horse. Mr. Smith had
both mares entered, and made second payment on
Maggie. In making up the list this payment was
wrongfully credited to Lady Clara.

Spirit of the Ties?, an excellent journal devoted to
horse interests will issue a Blue Ribbon Holiday Edi-
tion January 15th. It will be sent to any address for
15 cents, or the holiday edition and a copy of the paper
will be sent for one year for one dollar. See advertise-
ment.

Two fine Percheron stallions are offered for sale by
H B. Goecken, the well known hay and grain mer-
chant of this city whose place of business is at 585
Fourth street. See advertisement in this issue.

Jockey Taral on the Weight Question.

The subject of raising- the weig-hts in all races has
jeen dilated upon to some extent, showing the benefits
chat would surely arise if secretaries would only make
it a rule to live closer to the regulation scale than they
have done in tbe past.

In a conversation held by Ed Cole with Fred Taral
on the matter, tbe jockey claims, and justly too, that
many races are not truly run through interferences
caused by bits of pin beaded boys who know enough
only to sit on horses and notbing about the art of race
riding. He is very decided in his opinion that if the
example set by Austria and California were followed
here, where the jockeys are thorough horsemen, with
few exceptions, there would be less accidents and that
horses would run truer and more satisfactory to the
public eye and pleasing to the officials.

In illustrating his argument, Taral says: "Take any
race at a mile or a mile and a sixteenth on a circular
track and watch the jumble and mixing up that takes
place at the first turn. There is so much crowding
and jostling that I have seen horses literally carried
off their feet and held in the air for thirty or forty
yards.

"The little bits of boys know nothing but racing to
the front and in doing so let go of the heads of their
mounts and they naturally work toward the rail. The
result is crowding that is not only dangerous to horses
and riders, but causes horses to be frozen out of posi-
tion which cannot be recovered, hence inconsistency in
running horses which is looked upon with suspicion by
the officials and public.

"No good rider will make a bid for a position on the
first turn in a big field unless he gets away in the first
three, especially if he has a rail position at the post,
for he is sure to be shut off by some inexperienced
rider, and it is much better to wait for clear railing
than be compelled to pull up a horse or have him cut
down.

"The same state of affairs also exists in other parts
of a race. I have seen a pin-head boy race his horse
around his field on the backstretch and hit a half
dozen horses as he brushes by them. On the far turn,
too, these little boys frequently cut too short, which
will throw the inside horses back. Older and experi-
enced jockeys never do this unless it is intentional, as
they know the danger of such a proceeding.

"There is nothing more disappointing for the public
to see horses in which they are interested shut off, and
to this the defeat of many horses that should win can
be attributed. In Austria there is no crowding.
Should a horse accidentally swerve toward another his
rider will immediately apologize and pull away as soon
as possible. Accidents are of very rare occurrence and
when every care is taken of a horse by a rider the
chances of having his mount cut down is reduced to a
minimum. All this is due to the strict rules in regard
to crowding and the gentlemanly conduct of the
jockeys.

"Then in this country all the older riders have
respect for each other. Whenever I rode with Garri-
son, Turner, Daggett, Littlefield and there in the older
division we would always avoid crowding as much as
possible.

"With the weights raised there would be many more
proficient horsemen riding and better racing would
result. The lightweight custom in this country is not
beneficial to the sport. It throws the entire proceed-
ings into an atmosphere of luck. As I said before, I
think the sport would be more satisfactory from a
public standpoint if jockies were given more opportun-
ities to ride after they had become thoroughly accom-
plished horsemen."

In looking over the past records of riders, some of
whom might be riding to-day had they been offered
inducements to keep within a limit of 120 pounds, there
appears such competent men as Garrison, J. McLaugh-
lin, "Monk*' Overton, H. Lewis, Clayton, H. Griffin,
F. Littlefield, L. Reiff, W. Simms, R. Williams, C.
Weber, in fact, many others who have dropped out of
sight because they were not given sufficient oppor-
tunity so follow the calling with profit.

Next season there will be just about a half dozen
boys who might be called good riders, Turner, Burns.
O'Connor, Cochrane, Wonderly, Shaw, Woods and
Spencer. Of these Turner and Shaw only can be con-
sidered as really proficient horsemen to be depended
upon. No matter what horses they ride it influences
the quotations of bettors, which is tbe greatest proof
to offer of their standing in the jockey world.

Riders that will soon be forgotten are Odom, Mounce,
Cochrane, Bullman, Turner, H. Lewis and Williams,
among others who have to injure their constitutions
to keep down anywhere near riding weight. All these
are good horsemen and could be retained in the field
if given a chance to earn sufficient to keep body and
soul together. It is the scarcity of such riders that
causes the fabulous prices to be paid for the services of
a good jockey.

The idea of an eighty-pound boy being paid S18.000
for a retaining fee, and the sum J. R. Keene is to pay
Shaw is simply fabulous when it is considered that
$25,000 was offered for his services by another party.

Supposing some of the old timers were riding nowt
America could boast of a collection of riding talent un-
equaled in the world, including Garrison, McLaughlin,
Griffin. Overton, Taral, Clayton, L. Reiff, R. "Williams,
Lewis, Turner, Burns, O'Connor, Sbaw, Wonderly,
Odom, Bullman, Spencer, Woods, Mounce, Cochrane,
Daggett and others.

Just think this over, gentlemen of the Jockey Club.

Monterey Colt Stakes.

The horse breeders of Monterey county do not seem
to have bred many pacers during the last few years,
as of the four s'akes for trotting and pacing colts
offered by the district association, only those for the
trotters filled. The two year old trotting stake has
eight entries and the three year old stake six entries.
The two year old pace had but two colts entered while
there was one lone entry for the three year old pacing
stake. Following are the entries for the stakes filled:

To Revise Harness Rules.

A joint committee, consisting of Major P. P. John-
ston, President of the National Trotting Association,
and W. P. Ijams, President of the American, will
meet in New York this month to discuss amendments
to the rules, so that so far as it is possible the codes of
the two associations shall be alike. The presidents will
in all probability be accompanied by their respective
secretaries, W. H. Gocher and J. H. Steiner.

The American Association was formed in 1S87 by a
convention consisting of 70 representatives of associa-
tions which had been affiliated with the National, but
had become dissatisfied with the executive manage-
ment at that time; that they had no fault to find with
the National's code of law was proved when the con-
vention adopted them bodily. Later on, however, the
congress of each association made changes which be-
came confusing to the ordinary horseman who raced
his stable under both set of rules, and it was finally
decided that the presidents of the two associations,
prior to a meeting of a congress, should meet and ex-
change views, so that if not the letter, the spirit of
any new legislation by the two associations should be
in harmony. It is well understood that the settlement
of the status of the amateur records will be the prin-
cipal subject of discussion. — America/h sportsman.

Nutwood as a Broodmare Sire.

While the information relating to the blood lines of
the dams of the new 2:30 trotters and pacers is as yet
very incomplete— in fact, remains so up to the date of
publication of the official year book— yet enough in-
formation is now at hand to give an intelligent idea of
the blood lines that have shown up to the best advan-
tage through the female line, writes Palmer W. Clark.
The following list gives the horses that have sired the
dams of five or more new 2:30 performers during the
season of 1901:

Nutwood 2:!8S£ by Belmont as

Egbert by Hambletonian 7

Piedmont 2:I7M by Almont 5

Chimes 2:3G?i by Electioneer 5

Director 2:17 by Dictator 5

Harold by Hambletonian 5

Pilot Medium by Happy Medium 5

It will be seen that Nutwood, as he did last year,
heads the list of sires of producing dams. This now
gives him a total of 177 standard performers that have
been produced by his daughters and places him so far
ahead of his nearest competitor as to be in a class by
himself. In days gone by it used to be considered
that the Hambletonian blood was all right in the male
line, but the female line should be either Mambrino,
Pilot Jr., Clay, American Star, or other fines that
"nicked" successfully with the blood of Hambletonian.
An examination of this list, however, shows the Ham-
bletonian blood almost exclusively. Of the eighteen
sires enumerated six of them, or one-third, are sons of
Hambletonian; eight more were sired by his sons; two
were his grandsons, leaving just two to represent out-
side families — a remarkable showing indeed.

Good Horses For Sale.

A Doctor's Endorsement.

Superintendent Geo. W. Berry reports the first
thoroughbred foal of the year— at Mr. A. B. Spreckels'
Napa Stock Farm. It is a filly by Libertine (holder of
the world's record of 1:38| on a circular track from
1894 to 1900) out of Grace S., a daughter of imp. Cyrus
out of imp. Getaway. The new arrival is a handsome
looking and well proportioned little miss. Libertine
has filled out and is one of the handsomest horses in
America to-day. When his get are put on the market
they should bring good prices, as there are no better
bred stallions than he.

St. Aronicus, a four year old stallion by the unbeaten
St. Simon, which was purchased by Chas. L. Fair
recently in England, will arrive in a few days and be
sent to Mr. Fair's ranch in Lake county. The colt
cost a large sum, as St. Simon is the highest priced
stallion and, at present, the most fashionable in the
world.

Gents' driving mare, by Nushagak, fast trotter and
thoroughly broken, is offered for sale. See advertise-
ment.

A Waldstein mare, six years old and very gentle, is
offered for sale by an advertiser in this issue.

Like all good things, Jackson's Napa Soda hasa
dozen counterfeits. Watch out !

Rose Dale Stock Farm, at Santa Rosa, has fifteen or
twenty young horses, broken single and double, for
sale. They are by the farm's stallions Daly 2:15 and
St. Whips, son of Whips, the sire of Azote 2:04$.
These horses are all good individuals, natural trotters,
and there are some excellent speed prospects among
them, as well as extra good roadsters. A few well bred
broodmares by Daly are also for sale. Daly, it must
be remembered, is by Gen. Benton, the best broodmare
sire ever at Palo Alto, and is out of Dolly, the dam of
Dolly Dillon 2:07, by Electioneer.

Dr. Wm. H. Fuller of Brooklyn. N. Y., writes as follows: "My
trainer has been using Quinn's Ointment, and I must say it has
given entire satisfaction. It is truly a wonderful remedy. This is
one more clincher for Quinn's Oiutmeot. which is beiog used by the
leading breeders and horsemen from Maine to California. For

Diseases in Dogs Which Are Transmissible to
Man.

[BY DR.' CECIL FRENCH.]

The question is often asked: "What diseases can
human beings catch from dogs?". This is a question
which it does not take long to answer, for they are
very few and can practically be counted on the fingers
of one hand.

First and most important and most to be dreaded is
rabies. I am aware that a few persons are skeptical
of the existence in and transmission of this disease
from tbe lower animals to man. In the wilds of Africa
there are also many persons skeptical of the existence
of the machine known as the steam engine. It is safe
to say that neither body of beings has witnessed the
condition or object in the existence of which they have
no faith. They simply don't and won't believe, and
this in spite of tbe teachings of scientific men who are
familiar with either or both.

There comes a day when the African is shown tbe
gteam engine, whereupon he usually makes himself
scarce. If the skeptics could only be placed in the
near presence of a rabid dog, it is safe to say there
would soon be a scarcity of skepticism.

Rabies is unfortunately a common disease amongst
Southern canines. It is spread largely by roving and
tramp ownerlsss mongrels, not that a mongrel is any
more susceptible than his brother of higher breeding,
but because the latter can usually look to an owner
whose constant watchfulness and control over his
friend and pet reduces the risk of contagion consider-
ably. The disease in such an animal is nipped in the
bud by destruction of the sufferer before he has an
opportunity to infect others. It is a mistake to sup-
pose that rabies is only prevalent during the summer
months. The records of tbe District of Columbia
health office show that the cooler months of the year
and even winter have their share.

Some persons purchase their pets from the municipal
pounds, or they may even harbor stray dogs. This is
a practice which cannot be too strongly condemned,
unless the animals in question are kept closely quaran-
tined for a few weeks. The disease may be in latency,
undergoing its period of incubation, only to burst forth
unexpectedly some days hence.

Next in importance is. the so-called Hydatid disease
of man. This malady does not exist as such in the
dog, but it occurs in the latter animal as the Hydatid
Tapeworm (Taenia Echinococcus). This parasite, and
consequently the resultant disease in man, is appar-
ently quite rare in the United States, though isolated
cases of hydatid disease are known to occur, some of
which, however, have been founa among immigrating
foreigners. Out of 100 cases of the disease in man
reported by the Bureau of Animal Industry, in the
year 1895-96, occurring throughout the United States,
4 came from the District of Columbia, 2 from Virginia,
10 from Pennsylvania, 33 from New York, none from
Maryland, and in smaller numbers from other con-
tiguous States.

The worm in the dog is very small, about one-eighth
of an inch in length, and attaches itself to the wall of
the bowel. The eggs of this worm are passed, and
since they are microscopic in size, can find their way
into the human stomach by adhering to the foodstuffs,
such as lettuce and other articles which are not sub-
jected to cooking. These eggs then undergo partial
development and may find their way into almost any
part of the body, lodging most frequently in the liver
or lungs, and becoming the larval or intermediate
cystic form of the adult tapeworm of this variety.
Fifty per cent, of cases in the human subject are fatal.
This parasite also infests other animals in the same
manner, and dogs acquire the mature worm by devour-
ing the organs of such animals containing the larval
form. Hence dogs should not be allowed access to
slaughtering places, nor should they be fed on un-
cooked meat which has not been subjected to close
scrutiny.

I intimated above that Hydatid Disease of man is
comparatively rare in this country, but in other coun-
tries where canine flesh is used "for food it is a good
deal more prevalent. In Belgium it has been found
necessary to provide a regulation prohibiting the

offering for sale of the stomach and intestines of the

dog- . ,

Probably the next most important disease in rela-
tion to its contagiousness to human beings is tubercu-
losis or consumption. It used to be generally thought,
and still is by some, that this disease could not be
acquired by the dog, but the truth is that it is by no
means uncommon among these animals. [In this re-
spect we note the case of Byron Erkenbrecher's Fox
Terrier, Warren Clerk, which died in Los Angeles last
year. The autopsy showed tuberculosis in an ad-
vanced stage, although this disease was not the actual
cause of the dog's death. The dog's prior owner, who
muchly petted him, was the late H. G. Hummelright,
who succumbed last year to consumption. — Ed.]

They no doubt contract it through their association
with mankind by breathing germ-laden atmosphere,
as well as by eating and drinking diseased meat and
milk. Some two years ago I had a case of probable
contagion from a human being in a little Black and
Tan Terrier. Its mistress had been sent to Washing-
ton from Boston, her physician hoping the more
southern climate would be beneficial to her, she suffer-
ing from pulmonary tuberculosis. She had not been
careful about expectorating, and there is no doubt in
my mind that her dog acquired the disease from her,
probably by ingestion of food, which, through his
habit of* carrying the latter from the plate to the floor,
had become contaminated with germs lying there.
Anyhow, the little dog died in a few months of tuber-
culosis of the liver. There are many other recorded
instances of dogs acquiring the disease from their mas-
ters, and while at the present moment instances of
reversed conditions do not occur to my mind, there is
no doubt whatever that a dog suffering from tubercu-
losis becomes a menace to human health.

One other disease to be regarded as at all important
is Ringworm, Dogs acquire this from children and
vice versa, consequently any symptoms suggestive of
this parasitic disease should call for prompt isolation
of the sufferer.

Anthrax, or, as it is termed when attacking human
beings, ''Malignant Carbuncle," can be contracted
by man from dogs, which, in turn, have acquired it
by eating the flesh of animals dead of that disease, but
it is so extremely rare that it need hardly be considered.
It is often asked if real parasitic mange of the dog is
catching to human beings. In a measure it is, but in
the animal kingdom it is found that each species of
animals has its own particular parasites, which seldom
are able to thrive on the bodies of other species, and
this is true of the mange parasite of the dog. When
placed on the human skin, il will cause some slight de-
gree of irritation, but speedily ceases to thrive and
soon dies before propagating its kind.

Fleas, if one may regard infestation by them as a
disease, need no remarks. Everyone is supposed to be
familiar with that little parasite.

This comprises about the wholeof tbe diseases which
we are liable to contract from our friend, certainly not
a very formidable list.

A DANGEROUS INTESTINAL WORM.

Dog owners are all more or less, experienced with the
symptoms produced by the intestinal worms which in-
fest their charges, and the wiser amongst them gen-
erally submit their puppies to a course of treatment
for the eradication of these parasites before either is
far advanced in development.

The varieties of worms commonly known are the
round and the tape forms. The so-called mawworm
is not a separate species, but merely an expelled seg-
ment or chain of segments from a tapeworm. It is
capable of self-movement, and for this reason has been
thought by some to be a distinct and separate form.

It is not generally known, however, that in Mary-
land, Ohio and Virginia (in naming these three States
it is because I have found it present there, but it is to
be presumed that it occurs also farther South) there
exists another, and by far the most dangerous, form
of intestinal worm. No account of this one is to be
found in any but the technical works on zoology,
which is a matter of some surprise, since it occurs not
at all infrequently, is almost ineradicable when it has
once infested a dog, and produces such profound effects
on the whole organism that the name of "Pernicious
Anaemia of Dogs" has been given to this disease.

Here, then, is to some a probably unknown source
of danger to the inmates of their kennels, a danger
that is insidious in its advent. A well known stud
Skye, Barnaby Rudge, the property of Mrs. E. M.
Williams, three years ago succumbed to its effects,
and numerous other instances have come to my notice
in the past few years.

The parasite in question is known technically as the
Uncinaria, or Dochmius. It is about one-quarter of an
inch in length and about as thick as a fine needle.
Attached to its head are several curved teeth sur-
rounding a sucker-like mouth. By means of this
arrangement it sucks and bores its head deep into the
inner lining cf the wall of the bowel, where it thrives
on the blood of the animal. From this it will be easily
understood that in addition to its le ch-Hke drain on
the blood of its host it also sets up an intense local
inflammation which involves the absorptive and diges-
tive glands. It is by means of these glands lining the
wall of the bowel that the nutriment is in part digested
and taken into the system. If, then, the glands be-
come inflamed and tumefied, as occurs, they will fail
to perform their natural function and the animal must
literary starve.

And so we find that when an animal becomes in-
fested with this parasite, and tiough the appetite may
not become markedly changed, yet there is a continual
wasting and general anemic condition produced.

Sometimes severe bleeding from the nose takes place.

From the chronic inflammation produced by tbe
burrowing and biting of the worm we naturally look
for an abnormal condition of the faecal excretions.
Diarrhoea, often fou)-smelling and accompanied with
more or less hemorrhage, is a constant symptom. In
the latter stages ulcers and gangrenous sores appear
on any part of the body. The disease may last from
three or four months to a year. As to treatment, that
is a difficult matter. The reason is that the head and
mouth of the worm being buried deep into the wall of
the bowel no drugs we can give are likely to reach the
vital parts of the parasite, and are consequently in-
effectual.

The mode of propagation of the worm is as follows:
Slight development from the egg stage takes place in
the oviduct of the female worm, whilst it is in the in-
testine of The dog. As soon as tbe embryo passes out
of the bowel with the excrement and reaches water
(gutters, pools, etc.,) a larval form develops, provided
the right temperature exists. The larval form is then
imbibed by the dog along with the water he drinks
if he should satisfy his thirst at such places.

And the moral of all this is, never to allow a dog to
drink any but tbe purest water.

Fractures of the Legs.

If your dog breaks his leg, there need be no great
rush to have it attended to, provided he has not sus_
tained what is known as a compound fracture, i. e.
where the ends of the broken bones are protruding
through a wound. In the latter case there is no need
to chloroform the sufferer, but competent advice from
a medical expert should at once be sought, as such a
wound needs careful and regular dressing and special
setting.

If it be a simple fracture, it will, shortly afterwards,
begin to swell at tbe seat of the break, and this swell-
ing should be allowed to subside before any attempt at
placing the leg in a splint is made. If this is done
sooner, the pressure of the swelling on the surround-
ing bard, unyielding splint is liable to stop tbe flow of
blood and may cause the leg to die from want of nutri-
tion and to slough off. Therefore, when your dog
breaks his leg, wait (maybe 48 hours) until the swell-
ing subsides, and then have your veterinarian or doctor
put \he limb in a plaster cast. It will bo less painful
to tbe dog then, and there is no danger of cutting off
the circulation.

It is remarkable that though it is always best to
assist nature by applying a bandage that will hold the
fractured ends in position to insure a perfect reunion,
nature endeavors to do precisely the same thing in tbe
tissues concerned. When a bone breaks, the ends do
not, unite first, but a temporary bandage of bone-salts
is thrown out all around to enclose the two or more
broken ends. After this is solid enough to hold the
parts together, tbe knitting together of the end com-
mences, and when this is finally accomplished, nature
thereupon removes by absorption the temporary band-
age of bone that was first thrown out round the
break.

Some Popular and Effective Remedies For
Dog Ailments.

The name of "Glover" is a familiar one, not only in
the United States and British Columbia, but also in
Mexico, Central and South America, the West Indies,
New Zealand, Australia and tho Orient. The "Im-
perial" dog remedies manufactured by Dr. Glover have
in truth a world wide reputation. On the Pacific
Coast wherever a general store is carried on will be
found Dr. Glover's remedies. The Doctor is well
known to many of our sportsmen here, having some
years ago been a resident among us. Some of the
progeny of the Gordon Setters bred by him are thought
highly of to-day by tbeir owners.

The sign manual of st rling merit of the "Imperial"
remedies has been shown in a systematic and constantly
increasing volume of business. With the enlargement
of business naturally came the need of an assistant.
The right man h^s been found in the selection of Dr.
French, who has for years past been Dr. Glover's right
bower.

Dr. French's views on various matters pertaining to
the dog in health and disease have been given time
and again in the kennel pages of the BREEDER and
Sportsman; the personal assurances of many of our
readers have been an endorsement of the Doctor's pro-
fessional skill and wisdom which we are here pleased
to publish.

The Coast agency of the Imperial Dog Remedies is
conducted by the well known firm of Clabrough, Gol-
cher & Co., 538 Market street.

If any of our readers have not yet procured a copy
of Dr. Glover's book on "Dog Diseases and How to
Feed," a request for the same mailed to the above
named firm or to Dr. Glover, 1278 Broadway, N. Y.,
will receive prompt response, free by return mail.

Dr. Glover's dog medicines and remedies we can per-
sonally endorse through our own experience and ob-
servation in very many cases where they have been,
used with excellent results.

The Christmas edition of the Enqlish Stock-Keeper is
before us this week. To describe its many excellencies
would be indeed a task An interesting feature of the
illustrated supplement is tbe collection of portraits of
the Kennel Club Council of Representatives. Tbe
whole edition is full of interesting reading matter and

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The New Jersey Kennel Association will hold its
first dog- show in Newark, N. J., February 26th, 27th
and 28th and March 1st.

Peter Wetteran of Grass Valley has two piomising
Pointer bitch puppies which are just ready for their
first field .vork. They are by Young Rip Rap out of
Jingo's Lass.

Wallace Moore has a bitch Pox Terrier puppy he
received this week from E. deB. Lopez, owner of the
Merriwa Kennels. The young one Is two months old
and a likely looking puppy. She Is by Ch. Aldon
Swag rer out of Snip (Oriole Bluffer-Creole).

Woodcote Chinosol, the champion Bulldog of Eng-
land, died recently. He was by Bapton Monarch out
of Doctor Tanet and was a grand and all over sound
dog. Mr. W. J. Pegg had received numerous offers
for him from American fanciers, one offer going as
high as $5000, but he always refused, believing that the
dog was good enough to keep.

Bull Terrier Kennels Sold.

Champion Woodcote Wonder is now owned by L. A.
Klein. Mr. O. O. Heydenfeldt, the owner of the
Gainsborough Kennels, has disposed of a'l of his dogs
and will probably abandon all active participation in
aff irs of the fancy. Along with Wonder went the
bitch American Belle (formerly Bayview Sabatia) and
Dot and four Bull Terrier puppies. Woodcote Wonder
will be in stud at Mr. Klein's kennels, 2570 Geary
street, which is to-day announced in our kennel adver-
tisements.

Mr. Klein purchased all of Gainsborough Kennels
Bull Terriers. The puppies are good ones, by Bay-

Striped bass fishing these cold days is somewhat
dormant. What the fish do and where they go is an
unsolved problem for the present. Many of the ex-
perts claim that in warm, pleasant weather the fish
can still be caught in Raccoon straits and vicinity just
as plentifully as was the case two months ago.

Salt water angling in and around San Francisco bay
is good at present, but only indulged in to any extent
during pleasant weather, which has not been apparent
to a great degree for several weeks past. The prevail-
ing cold north wind has kept most of the fishermen
away from the fishing resorts.

Piscatorial affairs in southern waters are laid in more
congenial lines, as will be noted in the following taken
from the Los Angeles Express:

"Late last week a report reached town that the yellow
fins had been biting well at Ocean Park, but owing
to the lateness of the season the piscatorial fraternity
in general doubted the truth of the story. It appears,
however, that it was under the truth rather than an
exaggeration.

Simon Spier and Will Stearns fished at Ocean Park
yesterday and caught upward of fifty fish between
them, all being surf, croakers and yellowfins in the
order named. During the day tne bottom seemed to
be covered with fish of these varieties, and they began
"biting fiecrely about noon.

Most of the fishing contingent at Ocean Park were
rigged for mackerel and smelt, but those who were out
for surf got them, and they were good ones.

The run at this time of year is unprecedented, and
Capt. J. Addison Smith, who probably is better posted
on fishing matters than any other man in Santa
Monica, says that he is at a loss to account for the
present run. Captain Smith further says that the
deep water fish are biting quite as fiercely as the surf,
and his party, out Saturday in the launch Donahue,
could have caught a ton of fish instead of a few hun-
dred pounds had they desired. Whitefish, bass, rock
cod and all the other marine varieties were abundant
on the banks, and during the day immense schools of
mackerei were seen. Captain Smith tells a graphic
story of the discovery of the mackerel. Says he:

"We were standing in the boat attending to our
fishing when I heard a sound like .he rushing of wind
over the sea, and looked back thinking we might be
encountering a squall, but it was not the wind that
caused the noise. An immense school of mackerel
rushed past the boat and continued in sight for some
time. When they had passed, the cause of their
hurry was to be seen. A school of honita was pursu-
ing the mackerel. The terrified fish ran against our
boat constantly and many of them must have been
killed by the shock.,,

There will be a big delegation of fishermen New
Year's Day, if the weather be fair. Whether the
present run will continue that long is somewhat prob-
lematical, but many will take the chance."

Steelhead Fishing in Russian River.

What promised to be one of the best winter angling
seasons in years for steelhead in the tide waters of
Russian river for the past two weeks has resulted but in-
differently for the many anglers who have recently vis-
ited the stream hoping to take advantage of apparently
favorable fishing conditions. The desires of the en-
thusiastic anglers have not materialized as was antici-
pated and with a number the pleasant angling pros-
pect has been disrupted. The causes for this, to be
regretted, state of affairs are twofold. Firstly, the
few fish that have been landed, although fresh run
and seemingly in splendid condition, have come to gaff
with the pugnacity of a dish rag — one fish weighing
seventeen and one-half pounds, caught by C. B. Holly-
wood on Sunday and the largest steelhead trout taken
out of the river this season, the angler said: "Had no
more life in it than a beefsteak on the spoon." This
is to be deplored do doubt, but the worst feature of
affairs found on the river and which spoiled and short-
ened the fishing trip of a number of anglers was the
illegal practice of using set nets and drawing seines in
the waters of Sonoma county. In one pool on Satur-
day over eighty fine fish were netted. This exaspera-
ting custom of some of the residents in the vicinity of
Duncan's Milis and below has, it is claimed, been in
vogue since the present run of fish from the ocean.
A number of fish hooked recently have shown the
marks of the gill net. The money spent in that sec-
tion by the sportsmen is many hundred times more
than the amounts received by the poachers for mar-
keting their fish. We remember one season when the
net scavengers got but four cents a pound for their
catches

The depletion of the river by the net men should be
looked after by both the county authorities and the
Board of Fish Commissioners.

Among the anglers on the river Sunday and last
week were Alex T. Vogelsang, T. W. Brotherton, John
Gallagher, M. J. Geary, J. A. Pariser, Capt. Green
Watson, C. B. Gould, John Butler, Al Wilson, John
P. Babcock, C. B. Hollywood, W. A. Cooper, George
Matson and others.

The fish for some reason or other were very indiff-
erent to the trolling spoons, double hooks baited with
salmon roe or the red fly and shrimp lure. The angler
would see many signs of fish about him in the water,
but try as he would the fish did not to any great ex-
tent notice the tackle trolling for their particular
benefit. These conditions, however, were patiently
observed by many of the expert fishermen, who, know-
ing the ways of the fish, were pi'epared to meet a
change at any time when the big trout would go for the
shrimp, trolling spoons or the mushy spawn dangling
on the keen barbed hooks and change the placid order
of events by showing the appetite and fighting spirit
that causes the nerves of the true angler to tingle with
the excitement of keen enjoyment and health giving
recreation.

The river is not too low, the water, in fact, is fairly
up and fish have been seen as far up stream as Hop-
field. The stream has been as clear as crystal — these
conditions will prevail until the rains come and raise
the river to a boiling, roily current that will put the
quietus for the time being on exploits with rod and
reel.

The fish that have been caught were apparently not
playing favorites with any particular lure, as they
were hooked with each kind of trolling tackle used.
Among those who were successful were Matson with a
catch of three or four a day; Butler, two on Saturday
and a fourteen pounder on Monday. Gallagher, one
large fellow; Babcock, eight on Friday and Saturday;
Wilson, eight on Friday; a sixteen and eight pound
fish were on exhibition Monday in Skinner & Com-
pany's show windows. Cooper and Geary also hooked
two fish each. Pariser had quite a lively experience.
Whilst ashore he had stuck his rod in the sand and
Mr. Hollywood in going out on the river again in the
boat, took his line out and dropped it into the water.
In a very short while it was evident that there was a
fish on the line. Other anglers who were within observ-
ing distance vouch that the quick time made by Pariser
in getting to his rod was a picturesque sprint never
equalled in the history of many amusing incidents
which are recounted as having transpired at Russian
river. In handling the fish Pariser demonstrated some
fundamental principles in steelhead fishing that wore
comparatively new but effective.

An Oregon Rabbit Battue.

In this State cottontails and jack rabbits are so
plentiful that many sportsmen care but little to shoot
them. Being infested at certain times of the year
with both intestinal and tissue parasites the "jacks"
are particularly objectionable on this account. The
cottontails which frequent rocky places are generally,
however, in better edible condition than the brush
rabbits. In the vicinity of this city, near San Pedro,
San Mateo county, for instance, a day's shooting can
be had on cottontails very often. The hills and valleys
back of Berkeley, across the bay, have long been good
rabbit hunting ground. The best jack rabbit district
for local sportsmen can be found in Sonoma county,
particularly on the reclaimed marsh lands. Here every
Sunday many leashmen resort to give their hounds a
run on jacks. The longears are also hunted by many
shooters, men and boys, hailing principally from the
Latin quarter. In other portions of the State, notably
the San Joaquin plains jack rabbits are at times so
numerous as to become a pest. At such times on an
appointed day there will be a meeting of the people
from a particular district and a "rabbit drive" will
take place for the purpose of thinning out the rodents.
In other Pacific Coast States the same conditions often
prevail and rabbit drives are then in order.

The methods of conducting a "drive" are practically
the same, excepting of course some features, which
are local only, and more or less intense according to
the experience of those participating. The description
of a recent drive near Pendleton, Oregon, seems to in-
dicate that the damage done to the farmers and
ranchers by the rabbits was so great that the drive
was a huge shambles resulting from a bloodthirsty
saturnalia and the people participating for the time
being forgot to a great extent that they were human
beings as will appear from the following:

"Three thousand five hundred jack rabbits were
killed in an immense slaughter pen in the Butter creek
couty, thirty-three miles west of Pendleton, Or., on
Sunday, December 29th. It was the greatest drive in
the history of this section. Eight hundred men and
boys participated in the massacre, cheered on by
many women.

An immense corral of wire netting had been built on
the sagebrush prairie, with arms extending a quarter
of a mile on each side. In the center was a circular
pen 100 feet in diameter and ten feet high. Two
special trains brought clubbers from Pendleton and
Heppner, while from smaller towns the drivers came
on foot and in wagons. The drivers were lined up and
in a line two miles long, brandishing clubs, they started
toward the corral, the rabbits being driven from cover
at every step until the corral was full to overflowing.
Then began the slaughter. Excited by the scene
men grew reckless and struck right and left until
maimed and dead were piled up on all sides, the
wounded moaning in misery until some more humane
person returned to finish the work. Six hundred were
taken alive and the balance were piled in five great

In many sections where rabbit hunting is a distinct
and highly enjoyed sport in the winter the above will
no doubt excite much adverse comment. Conditions
are various in different places; a custom in vogue in
one place may not be countenanced in another locality.

Another rabbit story is at hand that, to many, will
seem almost incredible. We cannot vouch for its
truth, but will give it as told in a recent press dispatch
from Tacoma:

"The suddeu multiplication of rabbits along the Klon-
dike creeks has caused those small animals to become
a nuisance. Thousands of them are being killed off,
and still they seem to increase. Stewed rabbits and
rabbit pot pie have become as familiar on the Klon-
dike bills of fare as corned beef hash and baked beans
are in other mining regions.

If the Klondike was as short of provisions this year
as it was four years ago there would be no cause for
alarm, for the number of rabbits available is sufficient
to supply the demand for fresh meat. The rabbits
find their chief delight in burrowing into and devour-
ing the caches of provisions belonging to miners. To
abate this evil Klondike dogs have been taught to
catch all the rabbits they can eat. Many of them are
fed on nothing else and still are sleek and healthy."

A nice catch of striped bass was taken one day last
we6k by Fred H. Bushnell and Al M. Cumming. The
two anglers trolled San Antonio slough, this trip being
Bushnell's initial one after striped bass. Cumming
landed five fish weighing in the aggregate nearly
twenty-five pounds. Bushnell hooked three fish, the
largest scaled six and one half pounds. Bushnell was
fast to a very large fish for some time before the bass
broke away. The two fishermen were apparently just
at the beginning of making a big catch when they
were compelled to desist in order to take the train
back to the city. The fish were caught at just about
low water.

Experiments conducted for ascertaining the height
a salmon will leap in clearing a waterfall have shown
that the fish will go to a distance of twenty feet in the
air in the effort to pass over the obstruction to its
passage up stream. It was further observed that
when a fish failed to clear the fall at one jump, it re-
mained in the falling water and then with a rapid
twist of the body would make another spring which
was generally successful. These experiments were
recently undertaken by one of the directors of the
Norwegian fisheries.

Two striped bass, weighing sixteen and eight pounds
respectively, were taken out of Flaherty's hole on
Russian river, near Duncan's, one day last week.

Spare the Swans.

The Colusa Herald recounts the story of two city
hunters who went out shooting recently with C. C.
Epperson, a Sutter City sportsman, familiarly known
as "Uncle Bud." The young men were somewhat
boastful and volunteered to shew the veteran how to
shoot. They were somewhat surprised that they were
not getting any the besi, of him, but were still confi-
dent, when along came two beautiful swans. The
city sportsmen became rattled and allowed "Uncle
Bud" to bag both birds. They were magnificent spec-
imens, measuring over seven feet from tip to tip.

It is pleasing to know that the veteran sportsman
still is with the gun. It is to be regretted, however,
that the two swans had to be sacrificed to show his
shooting skill. These graceful, harmless birds are not
any too plentiful, and as a table bird have a reputation
for toughness second to none. Swans should be spared,
there is plenty of other game for the hunter.

Sacramento sportsmen fared good, bad and indiffer-
ent last Sunday. The luck of the hunters ranged
from limit bags to nil. At tbe Canvasback Club poor
shooting conditions ensued, the members getting small
bags of ducks only. At the Del Paso and other clubs
the results were passably good. On the Yolo side
many birds were killed, principally mallards.

An Enterprising Journal.

We will here remind the publisher of a weekly ad-
vertising paper whioh is known to fame and also a
limited number of subscribers, under the title of Pas-
time that the article entitled "English Snipe" and
signed "O. E.," which was printed in its columns last
week had been prepared by the editor of this depart-
ment for The Bulletin and was published in the sport-
ing news columns of that evening journal several weeks
ago.

As the weekly above referred to is heralded as the
champion of the apostles of game protection (and all
that implies, so far as anything can be made outlof it)
and has also been offered for purchase to a syndicate
of wealthy gentlemen, who are identified with field
trials and other sports, at a bed rock price of $5000
cash and a conditional provision that S5000 more be
put up as a sinking fund (permanent investment
rather) to carry on the good work, we would suggest
that the custom of appropriating reading matter abso-
lutely, or of publishing articles and gingerly giving
credit for them in a manner that would lead a reader
to believe the matter was originally contributed, as
has been the practice, is in as much bad taste, to put
it mildly, as the practice of running the same bor-
rowed cuts and half tones over and over again at
regular intervals.

Sportsmen who are willing to invest $5000 for the
good of the cause, would be hard to convince that an
equivalent for that amount of money could be found
in a weekly paper devoted to a rehash of current
events (thoroughly thrashed out during the week by
the daily papers) and seasoned with_ complimentary
trade notices.

Hunting Notes.

Local sportsman, have, for the last week, enjoyed
one of the best duck shooting periods noted for many
years past. The absence of rain and the prevailing
north winds have dried up many interior feeding
grounds, the ducks in consequence have taken to the
feeding grounds of the tule districts in the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys and also the many baited and
fresh water ponds to be found in the bay shore marshes.

Last Sunday, for instance, teal ducks were to be
seen by the thousands on the Suisun marshes and as a
consequence many hunters procured limit bags. Two
of the prettiest strings of birds we have seen this sea-
son were brought down Sunday night by James May-
nard, Jr., and Dr. E. N. Ayers from the Canvasback
Gun Club preserve. Of the 100 teal ducks on the
straps 75 of them were drakes. The whole bunch
were fat and in splendid condition. The morning was
rather pleasant with but little wind blowing and the
birds pitched into the ponds in a continuous line of
whirring ducks. They were so plentiful that the two
hunters took their time and deliberately picked out
their birds singly and without recourse to "lap" or
flock shots.

Hunter? at Sears Point and near McGills had a splen-
did day's duck shooting also. At the Point oilskins
were taken out to the blinds in the morning, the
weather lookiDg as if rain would drop. Bay shore
shooting was out of the question by reason of a heavy
sea on the shallow shores.

The combined bag for eleven shooters at the Field
and Tule Club amounted to -59 birds. F. H. Bushnell
and A. M. dimming b igs;ed a number of sprig and
teal at the club ponds on Wednesday.

Similar conditions prevailed at the Stewart ponds
near Denverton, where Otto Feudner, with Ben L.
Owen and G. R. Field were shooting. The shores of
the ponds were literally packed with the birds. In
adjacent ponds and shallow water they were so thick
that the feeding horses and cattle would almost walk
over them before they would get out of the way.
Chicken hawks hovering about on the edge of the
high grasses and tules were paid strict attention to by
the teal, which frequently during the morning would
take refuge from the prowling birds of the air in the
depths of the dense vegetation surrounding the water.
At this spot themorniugwas cold and frosty, the kind
of a morning when biros bunch together, a time at
which the market hunter delights to bring his 4 bore
into play. The combined bag of the party was made
up mostly of teal, with a sprinkling of spooneys, mal-
lards and canvasback. Feudner shot the limit on
English snipe in the forenoon, the day being almost an
ideal one for snipe shooting.

Bay shore shooting from blinds near Sobrante, San
Pablo, Steiger and along the west side has been excel-
lent. Canvasback and blue bill ducks are in that
portion of San Pablo bay in immense numbers.

On the Alameda marshes from San Leandro down
to Alviso most hunters had fair shooting. Near
Mount Eden most of the birds shot were spoonbills.

Duck shooting in the marsh near Point Reyes has
been of sufficient importance to attract a number of
hunters for several Sundays past.

Quail shooting conditions have been different in
various locations. Last Sunday in some sections the
birds would work Bplendidly, in others again, the birds
when flushed would whirr quickly to heavy cover and
then do some running that would be creditable in a
quarter horse but is exasperating to the sportsman
and is a scource oi irritation to his dog.

The Sncad and Millar dairy tule district about twelve
miles southeast of Dixon is at present fairly infested
with countless numbers of mallard. The Dixon Gun
Club members who shoot on the Blithe tract in the
Yolo ba "iin have had choice shooting ever since the
season jpened.

Fly-Casters' Banquet to John P. Babcock.

The San Francisco Fly-Casting Club members and
guests on Thursday evening convened around the
banquet table, the occasion being a complimentary
dinner tendered to John P. Babcock, a genial sports-
man and esteemed member of the club who has been
on a brief visit to this city and who is now located at
Victoria, British Columbia, and holds the responsi-
ble position of Commissioner of Fisheries for British
Columbia. Mr. Babcock, three months ago, tendered
his resignation as Chief Deputy Fish Commissioner of
the State Board of Fish Commissioners to accept an
offer from the British Columbia authorities which has
opened to him a field of laoor and research that will
eventually lead to the achievement of his laudable
ambition to be known as the salmon authority of the
Pacific Coast.

President Walter D. Mansfield presided as toast-
master and the company was entertained by speeches
from John P. Babcock, who briefly outlined the im-
mense importance of the salmon fisheries of the
northern province and sketched a plan for the estab-
lishment of a fish hatchery at a desirable location
on the headwaters of the Fraser river. Aside
from the practical views outlined by the speaker
he voiced a fraternal and sportsmanlike sentiment
in picturing, iD a felicitous manner, the congenial had-
piness and satisfaction the appearance of his fellow
anglers and friends, from time to time at his hospitable
board, located at the outlet to Lake Seton and'within
the shadows of stupendous picturesque cliffs, would
afford him.

Ex-Commissioner Alex. T. Vogelsang, John A. Hos-
mer, Joseph Kirk, Judge John Hunt, Jr., P. J. Tor-
mey, and othersaddressed theassembly. Mr. Tormey,
a new member, suggested a plan whereby the forma-
tion of a national league of fly-casters might be brought
about

A letter of inquiry from a Chicago fly-caster was the
subject of a discussion that culminated in the adoption
of a resolution to hold a tournament at Stow lake in
August. This competition will be open to the world
and will possibly have representative rod wielders here
from Chicago, Grand Rapids, New York, Milwaukee
and other points. The President announced that by
the time mentioned a fund of $1000 would be available
to make the tournament a successful one.

The absence of Secretary Horace Smyth, by reason
of illnsss. was touchingly commented on by Mr. Vogel-
sang, and a resolution was passed viva voce, tendering
condolence and regret to the afflicted secretary and
evincing the sincere wishes of his friends for his early
recovery.

Songs and recitations were rendered by Lloyd Spen-
cer, W. W. Brackett and Elton Lambert.

Among those present were: Dr. W. D. Mansfield,
John P. Babcock, W. E. Brooks, H. Battu, T. W.

Pacific Coast Field Trials.

Beer Hunting in the East.

Hunters of big game will soon turn their attention
to Newfoundland. Eastern sportsman who make
shooting trips to Canada find caribou and other large
game becoming scarcer every year. In Newfoundland
caribou, in particular, are very plentiful A report
last year from St. Johns stated that the local markets
were then blocked with venison, the meat being quoted
as low as three cents a pound. There it is prohibited
to kill deer between February 1st and July 15th or
from October 9th until October 20th in each year.
Hunting parties are organized by the fishermen and
poorer class of settlers, who secure not only enough
venison for their own consumption, but also send large
quantities to St. Johns for sale. Notwithstanding the
immense numbers slaughtered each year there has not
yet been apparent any perceptible dimunition of the
herds. Of course, such wholesale slaughter must soon
have the effect of exterminating the species. Sports-
men are allowed to kill and take three stags and two
does, and as this latter class only hunt during the late
summer and autumn months, and hunt then for
"heads," they do not affect the herds very much.
These deer are all killed near the water line, so that
the immense deer parks in the interior of the island
fortunately remains untrodden. Last year the steamer
Virginia Lake went up to White Bay after venison, and
600 carcases were brought on board. Never before have
so many caribou been seen or heard of in that direc-
tion; by day they can be descried browsing like cattle
on the hills, while one can go a mile in from the sea,
and cross herds of hundreds. The winter had been
very severe in the interior, and these are driven to
the coast in quest of food. From Connaigre Bay to
Fortune Bay herds of thousands have been seen, and
only about eight or ten miles inside Burgeo whatever
number are required can be killed with ease. In the
bottom of the bays they have come to the very winter
tilt doors, and one man is reported to have shot a
large stag while it was looking in his door. Under
such circumstances the people are not short of fresh
meat and the 600 carcases brought in made venison a
cheap article for the next fortnight."

A big delegation of sportsmen left today for Santa
Maria to attend the trials commencing on Monday.
Judge Balmer arrived yesterday from Seattle and was
taken in charge by T. J. A. Tiedeman and Albert
Betz. The attendance at the trials promises to be a
large one — many sportsmen from Los Angeles and
other southern points will be present. The Breeder
and Sportsman will be represented at the trials by
Mr. Albert Betz.

Ducks Tarred and Tethered.

The slush and crude oil refuse washed overboard in
cleansing an oil vessel at one of the docks in the Oak-
land estuary was the means of bringing death and
destruction to thousands of wild ducks a few days
since. The tarry and oily stuff floated on the surface
of the water with the tide and when distributed about
the bay, off the shores of Bay Farm island particularly,
was the cause of the death and capture of an immense
nuuber of ducks by hunters and others who soon dis-
covered the plight of the poor birds. The ducks by
coming in contact with the floating material were soon
as helpless as though swimming into bird lime.

Many pot hunters and boys who usually get but a
small number of ducks returned to the city with big
bunches of tarry ducks, so soiled and sticky that the
variety could hardly be determined. Disabled ducks
were in evidence for several days in the vicinity of San
Lorenzo and San Leandro. A number of live ducks
were captured and brought to town.

Ducks smeared with the sticky substance were shot
on Sunday on the Suisun ponds and at various other
duck shooting resorts.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

Geese are plentiful now on the Solano plains. Hunt-
ing in the vicinity of Maine Prairie is reported to be
first class.

Recent reports from Los Angeles chronicle fair duck
shooting for the southern sportsmen. The best sport
is found, however, on the preserves of the Centinella,
Alamitos, Alia and Cerritos clubs. Mallard, sprigtail,
teal and a few cans are the principal birds secured.
Blue bills are now due down south and beginning to
come in.

English snipe shooting conditions are given by a Los
Angeles correspondent in the following style: Snipe
shooting below Artesia in some of the flat, muddy
ground, is said to be good at present. Usually snipe
will be found in that vicinity by those who care to go
that far after them, they are not molested much by
local shooters who usually are able to get the limit on
their club preserve when they care to take the tramp.

Quail are still somewhat of an inducement for a
journey after them, limit bags however, are becoming
infrequent. If the coming season is a dry one, as now
looks likely, the birds may not breed this spring and
summer.

A singular feature about the personal appearance of
nine out of every ten crack shots is one that is very
seldom noticed, and seems never to have been put into
print. It is a fact, however, that nine out of every
ten of the best shots in the country are either blue-
eyed or have eyes of a grayish tint Light-colored
eyes seem to be a sine qua non if a man hopes to be a
good shot, for men with brown or dark-colored eyes
are seldom good shots, and still more seldom regular
and consistent performers at the traps. Perhaps some
specialist in the study of eyes may be able to give some
explanation of this peculiarity, for peculiarity it seems
to be. Why should a blue-eyed man be a better shot
than a man with brown eyes? Or perhaps, to put the
question a little better: Why should there be so many
good shots with light-colored eyes, and so few with
dark-colored eyes? In talking over this point one day
last year at a tournament, an examination was made
of the eyes of all the best shots on the ground; the
result was 19 to 1 in favor of light eyes, the majority
of the light-colored eyes being strongly tinged with
bright blue.

AT THE TRAPS.

The Anaconda Gun Club held a trap shoot on
December 30th. The scores made were as follows: R
Emmons 21, 22, 19; Cairns 12, 4, 18, 12; L. G. Smith
14, 17, 16; B. D. Mahan 16, 15: Nell 19, 17, 15, 17: R. de
B. Smith 8, 7, 8; Quane 16: McGivern 12; Straehan
12, 17; Turner 17; Twohy 16, 14; McKenzie 15, 17.

Santa Ana shooters are planning a trap shoot to
take place the latter part of this month or early in
February at the Orange County Fair. J. E. Vaughan
and several other sportsmen have the matter in charge
and will endeavor to offer inducements that will bring
together at Santa Ana crack trap shots from all over
the State.

At the blue rock shoot for turkeys held on the Lin-
coln Gun Club grounds four events were on the card,
the first at 10 targets was won by T. Sheard of Ta-
coma, with 10 straight breaks, the other scores were,
Nauman 9, Price 9, Parker 9, "Slade" 8, Forster 8,
Hoyt 5, Mrs. Sheard 5. Mr. Sheard on straight score
at 15 birds in the second race won another turkey.
In the third event W. Price captured the tuikey in a
25 target handicap race. The other scores were:
Nauman (scratch) 22, Sheard (scratch) 21, Forster
(scratch) 18: Dr. Derby 18 out of 28, Mrs. Sheard 17
out of 30 The last race, a distance handicap at 15
targets was won by Sheard who shot from the 18-yard
mark and broke 14, the other scores made were* the
following: Forster 18 yards, 13 breaks, Nauman 18-12,
Hoyt 16-12, Dr. Derby 16-9, Price 16-9, Mrs. Sheard
14-9.

Marketing Wool.

F. P. Bennett of Boston, was one of the
speakers at the fifth annual convention of
the National Live Stock Association, at
Chicago recently. His subject was "The
Proper Methods of Marketing Wool." A
portion of his remarks was as follows :

"In a word the wool growe s shoul'd eel
their own wool through an agency estab
lished by themselves. Almost as I was
writing these words a large Oregon grower
told me his experience in marketing 360,-
000 pounds of wool in Boston. He had
been offered 9}* cents per pound for his
wool at The Dalles, but decided to have it
graded out and baled on his own account
at a coBt of 25 cents per bale. The freight
on baled wool from The Dalles is but 1J£
cents, while from Pendleton it is 2.21 cents.
The Oregon sheepman brought his family
to Boston on a visit, and had the wool
shipped there at the same time. He
arranged for storage in a public ware-
house in Boston at the low rate of 3 cents
per bale for the first month, and showed
samples of the wool to manufacturers,
who promptly bought it of him for 13
cents per pound, while most of the holders
of similiar wool in Boston were holding
for 14 cents. The total cost of freight,
baling, storing and insurance on this wool
was $1.83 per 1000 pounds. Consequently
the owners netted over 11 cents at home
for the wool for which they had been of-
fered 9L2 cents, and the manufacturers in
Boston bought for 13 cents what would
otherwise have cost them 14 cents. Both
parties made money, because the entire
cost of moving the wool from the grower
to the manufacturer was less than 2 cents
per pound instead of 6 cents per pound
under the speculative method of 1899
above explained. What was accomplished
by this Oregon shipper can be achieved
in some measure by growers throughout
the United States, if they will organize
and establish their own selling agencies
in Boston and elsewhere.

gate and dry the houses. At night the
sides are closed down, furnishing warm h
to the feathered inhabitants. By this
method of ventilation the floors arealways
dry, and the roosts free from vermin.
City water is piped to each pen, Mr.
Bryant having found that pure water is
one of the prime requisites of success in
the poultry business. The hens are sup-
plied with an abundance of gravel and
shells. The laborof caring for the poultry,
shipping eggs, etc. takes about one-half
of the owner's time. In conjunction with
a nei hbor, Mr. Bryant has patented an
egg-food that has proven highly successful.
All the buildings on the place are white-
washed thoroughly several times a year,
llustrating the profits of the business,
we have bsfore us the returns for the
month of December, 1901. From the first
to the 27th, the cash receipts were exactly
$208 95, after paying freight and commis-
sion. The expenses were water $2.50,
feed $50. leaving the owner $156.35 for his
labor for the month. The average ex-
pense for feed the year around is slightly
under $50 per month. What other small
business in the county can beat this. —

Good Dairy Cows Are Valuable.

Never in our life have we met a farmer
who was the owner of a good cow but that
the owner was loud in praise of the ani-
mal and proud that he was her owner,
says Dairy Age. The farmer who owns a
good cow knows that the cow is a money
maker and knows that a herd of cows as
good would be a profitable undertaking
on any farm. But farmers are slow to
catch on to the fact that a good herd can
be reared in a few years if the work is se^
about in a proper manner. What a most
delighted set of farmers the West would
have if each one would some morning
wake up and find in his lot a herd of cows
as good milkers as the best one he now
owns ! A herd of good milkers is worthy
of any man's admiration. The farmer
who has perseverance and intelligence
enough to get together a good dairy herd
has reason to be proud of his achieve-
ments.

A Modern Poultry Farm.

Our remarks concerning the growth of
the chicken business, a few weeks ago,
called attention to the succesB attained in
this line by Mr. R. E. Bryant and which
success can be duplicated by any one who
will devote the same energy and attention
to the business. Mr. Bryant is located
upon a five acre tract southwest of town.
One acre of this is planted to alfalfa which
is cut and fed to the poultry. A flock
of eleven hundred hens is maintained,
divided into six different pens. The
houses are large and roomy, the sides
hung on hinges. Each morning these
sides are raised full height so that the sun
and wind can thoroughly ventilate, fumi-

Great Egg Yield From Cow Peas.

During the past week, says Southern
Planter, a subscriber called on ue and in
the ccurBe of conversation said : "I had
a wonderful egg yield from my hens last
winter, and I want to tell the farmers how
I secured it. I had an acre or two of cow
peas sowed near the building. In conse-
quence of scarceness of labor, I was un-
able to get all the peas gathered— in fact,
a large part of them remained. I decided
to let vines and peas die down on the land
and lie there all winter. The hens soon
found the peas aud they literally lived on
the patch until spring, and gave us eggs
in quantity all the time." This report as
to the value of cow peas as a winter feed
is confirmed by a report from a gentleman
in Maryland who followed the same plan.
His hens harvested the reas from a plot

of land last winter, with the result that
he had eggs when none of his neighbors
had any. We have before advised the
feeding or cow peas to henB, as their rich-
ess in protein indicates that they should
make eggs. If you have no cow peas, and
even if you have the peas, we would advise
the feeding with them of wheat, oats,
buckwheat and corn mixed for one feed
per day, with a hot mash in the morning
during the cold weather. The cow peas
may largely take the place of cut bone if
you have them. Cut bone and meat
scraps should, however, be fed twice a
week. With such a feeding, good, dry,
warm houses and young, healthy flocks,
eggs should be plentiful all the winter —
that is. assuming that you are keeping a
good laying variety, such as Leghorns,
Flymouth Rocks or Wyandottes. We
have found that cross bred hens— the
product, for instance, of a pure bred Leg-
horn rooster on Plymouth Rock hens —
are better layers than the pure breed

Asthmalene Brings ^Instant Relief and Permanent

Cure in All Cases.

Sent Absolutely Free on Receipt of Postal.

There is nothing like Asthmalene. It brings
instant relief, even in the worst cases. It cures
when all else fails.

The Rev. C. F. Wells, of Villa Ridge, HL, says: "Your
trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I can-
not tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it.
I was a slave, chained with putrid sore throat and asthma for
ten years. I despaired of ever being cured. I saw your ad-
^ vertisement for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting dis-
ease, asthma, and thought you had overspoken yourselves,
but resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment the trial
acted like a charm. Send me a full-size bottle "

We want to send to every sufferer a trial treatment of
Asthmalene, similar to the one' that cured Mr. Wells. We'll
send it by mail POSTPAID, ABSOLUTELY FREE OF
CHARGE, to any sufferer who will write for it, even on a postal. Never mind,
though you are despairing, however bad your case, Asthmalene will relieve and
oure. The worse your case, the more glad we are to send it. Do not delav

Harness Horse News From Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 11, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — Mr. Geo. A.
Davis of Rancho Del Valle has added some stars to the
light harness horses at our track. His stallion Rey
Direct with four of his colls arrived here last Friday
in charge of Ed Parker.

Rey Direct is in the pink of condition and it will
keep a horse expert busy to find fault with him, either
in a point of conformation, soundness or speed and as
a producer of foals that have size, color, conformation,
good bones, sound legs and the best of feet. For
equine babies they can show as much speed as any
ever foaled, age for age. Mr. Davis should be able to
make a profitable season with his horse in Los Angeles.

We have Neernut 2:12}, the great son of Albert W.,
here and his performance speaks for itself. His colts
that are being worked by Mr. Jonas are certainly
good lookers and have plenty of speed.

Walter Maben is training a large stable of colts and
aged'ones. The star of Mr. Maben's colts is a beauti-
ful sorrel by P. J. Williams' first class race horse
Monterey 2:09}, and this colt does not belie his speedy
trotting sire in either good looks or speed. Mr. Maben 's
great filly Italia is looking fit to race for a kingdom.

Mr. Hodges is training some good prospects; the two
colts by the king of racing stallions Directum 2:05} are
certainly trotters. The black one shows the most
speed and the best gait, but Hodges states that the
bay will out trot him. Hodges is also training a full
brother to the fast Dictatus gelding Funston that
Sandy Smith took East last season. This one has not
been asked to step any yet. Hodges is very sweet on
him and looks for a fast pacer. It looks as though
Dictatus will become a valuable sire.

Mr. Kent, who trained for M. M. Potter, looks lone-
some with one Sweetheart to train and it is to bo hoped
that he will soon have a lot of fast ones as he certainly
gave the Potter Stables a good administration.

Mr. Will Durfee of Dr. Book ard Charley Mack
fame is the busy man. His stable is gaining both in
quality and quantity and Mr. Durfee will certainly
keep his fellow knights of the sulky guessing the
coming season. He is an up to date, energetic man at
his business and should have success. He has several
of the get of the great McKinney that look and act
like real race horses.

Mr. Ward is training McKenna, one of the best bred
and best looking McKinnoys ever foaled, and bis rac,
ing of last year stamped him as a reliable race horse.
Mr. Ward has several good green ones in his stable
and the star is a bay gelding by Neernut that can show
speed enough to satisfy the most exacting horse man.

Mr. Williams, formerly with Mr. Wilson, of Cvnthi-
ana, Ky., is here and training several good ones. Coeur
de Leon is his star and a pretty fast pacer. Mr-
Williams is preparing a few good ones for Dr. Le
Moyne Wills.

Robt. Hackney has several green ones that are worth
watching. Mr. Hackney is a very energutic trainer
and expects to turn out some Grand Circuit perform-
ers this spring.

Sam Washington is training a green pacing gelding
by Advertiser. Sam has had him ninety days He
stepped him two miles in 2:18 each a few days ago and
it looked easy. He is a big chestnut and wears noth-
ing but his harness. He was bred at Palo Alto and
was bought at a sale here. The star of Sam's stable is
Stipulator by Titus, that Millard Sanders tried to buy.
Sam is a painstaking trainer and has the reputation of
being a first class speed maker.

I. C. Mosier, the veteran from Oregon, is here with
his stallion Coeur d'Alene, the horse that held the
North Pacific record for trotting two year olds. The
writer saw him trot and shut out the cream of Oregon
and Washington. Mr. Mosier has put several of his
get in the list at early age, which stamps Cceur d'Aiene
as a sire of early and extreme speed. Mr. Mosier has
three two year olds by his horse here and they all
show speed enough to satisfy most any critic. He
also has Scappoose 2:14i, pacing mare by Roy Wilkes
2:06$. This mare through her sire inherits extreme
speed and gameness. She is not only a good looker,
but is ready right now to step a quarter in 30 seconds.
Mr. Mosier is a newcomer. He is a reliable man and
deserves success.

Our driving club contemplates giving a first class
matinee on Washington's Biithday.

James Thompson, the trainer whose eloquence of
tongue far outshines that of William Jennings Bryan,
must intend locating in Los Angeles; he has shipped
his outfit here in the writer's care. It is to be hoped
that Mr. Thompson will get a good stable; in any case
he can always make a success as a lecturer before the
Board of Review at any place or on any occasion. He
has hosts of friends here and they will all welcome his
cf ming.

Our track is now in fine condition and every horse
' an coming here can be sure of good stalls, good track

and good treatment and the finest climate on earth.

John Donnelly is training Billy G reen, a green trotter,
by McKinney out of an Echo mare. This big gelding
is a very fast one, having already shown his ability to
trot a mile in 2:22. Mr. Donnelly expects to make an
M. & M. candidate of him and barring accidents his
wish will be fulfilled. He is owned by Mr. Bruener,
who also owns Stanton Wilkes, one of the fastest un.
sexed sons of that crack sire Nutwood Wilkes. Stan-
ton Wilkes will be in the stud here this season; he
should be kept busy.

Horsemen here will be pleased to learn ' that the
California track managers intend to give good liberal
purses the comiDg season. Good racing material is
plentiful and it is to be hoped that our best ones can
get a chance to earn good money without going East
in 1902. Yours respectfully,

C. A. Harrison.

A Famous Broodmare.

Neernut 2:12 1-4 at Los Angeles.

During the month of February, owners of trotting
bred mares in and around Los Angeles are to have the
opportunity of breeding to that grand individual, fast
race horse and royally bred stallion Neernut 2:12),
owned by Mr. Geo. W. Ford of Santa ADa. It is in
response to numerous earnest requests that Mr. Ford
has consented toleavothe horse at Los Angeles during
the rest of January and the entire month of February
and after that time Neernut 's time will be divided
between Los Angeles and his Santa Ana home.

When at the matinee of the Los Angeles Driving
Club last Christmas day Mr. Ford mounted the sulky
for the first time in three years and drove Neernut to
victory in straight heats, defeating easily three of the
crack free for all trotters of Southern California, so
many owners of well bred mares requested Mr. Ford
to leave Neernut there until March 1st that he could
not decline. Mr. P. D. Jones has charge of the horse
and also five of his colts, taken out of pasture since
Christmas — the whole lot good racing prospects and
for sale so that work can be commenced on the now
coming three year olds which have not yet been
broken to harness.

Neernut never served any outside mares until four
years ago this coming season so that there are none of
his get over three years old except the few bred by Mr
Ford. Not one of Neernut's coming three year olds
owned by outside parties can be bought for less than
$500 and up to $1000, so that there is certainly a profit
in breeding to him.

Mr. Ford started in with five mares of short breeding
and got five colts the same year — Neeretta 2:09} (sold
to European parties and one of the biggest winners
across the pond this year), Dido, public mile at a mat-
nee in 2:17, h:ilf in 1:05; Neerbell, public mile in 2:16.
The other two sold for road purposes and never saw a
track. The next crop was four foals, Neeretta's dam
having missed. Of the four Neerana worked in public
at Joliet, Illinois, on the 31st of last July last three
heats iu 2:14, 2:14 and 2:13. Mr. Crump, her owner.
writes that ho is holding her for next summer's racing
and when she starts there will be another 2:10 per-
former for Neernut. Toughnut worked at Los Angeles
last winter in 2:18 pacing and 2:23 trotting. Neerdell
a full sister to Neerbell, paced a mile in 2:25, and
Jimmy, a road horse sold to a Riverside party, has
trotted a mile in 2:26. Toughnut and Neerdell are in
Mr. Jones' charge now at the Los Angeles track and
with the three young ones he has are going fast. It
is a fact well known id Southern California that there
has never been one of Neernut's get put on the track
but showed lots of speed , and all prove fine road Dorses.

The breeding of Neernut is hard to beat in any
country. His sire is Albert W. 2:20, son of Electioneer,
out of Sister by John Nelson. The dam of Neernut is
Clytie If. by Nutwood and second dam by Whipple's
Hambletonian. Electioneer has more descendants in
the 2:10 list than any other horse, and Nutwood is the
greatest producer of 2:30 performers and the greatest
sire of dams of 2:30 performers. Whipple's Hamble-
tonian was a great sire for his opportunities and sired
the dam of the great Azote 2:04}. The Electioneer-
Nutwood cross produced Arion 2:07}, whose two year
old record of 2:10} to high wheels has not been
approached since the speed accelerating bike has come
into use. Arion is the only 2:10 trotter that has pro-
duced a 2:10 trotter, so that the combination of Elec-
tioneer and Nutwood blood is proving to be remark-
able in many directions. The Los Angelenos are in-
deed fortunate to have a stallion like Neernut within
reach and that they will appreciate the opportunity is
certain.

Jessie Pepper, daughter of Mambrino Chief, has
founded a family of her own that is second to none on
the score of prepotency and extreme speed. She pro
duced .

Iona 2:1 7J and Alpha 2:23S, both dams of 2:20 trotters.

Wenonah, dam of two standard performers and one
producing son and grandam of Pistol 28,884, Lady
Geraldine2:ll} (M. & M. winner), Wilask 2:11 J, Alka -
lone 2:14}, Aristocrat 2:25J, Governor B. 2:26}, Leonoie
2:28$, Ortolan 2:28J and Stanmore 2:29}.

Gossip, dam of Don Wilkes 2:24} (a 2:12} sire),
grandam of Baron Rogers 2:09} and third dam of
Battlesign 2:13}.

Metella, dam of Metallas 2:11.

Startling 2:33}, dam of Greystone (a 2:08} sire) and
grandam of Early Reaper 2:09}.

Le Grande, a 2:18 sire.

Iola, a great broodmare.

Almont Archy, 2:30 sire.

Omega, a 2:30 sire.

Astrione, grandam of Clesintay 2:17}.

Annabel, dam of Dolly Withers 2:29} and Almont
Wilkes, a 2:15 sire, and grandam of eight standard
performers, including Heir at Law, trotting record
2:12, pacing record 2:05}, without hopples at either
gait. Almont Wilkes is grandsire of Pat L. 2:09}.

This is a great array of fast ones and producers to
descend from one mare in three generations. Jessie
Pepper is the great grandam of Mr. B. S. Krehe's
young stallion Pistol, that is to make the season of
1902 at San Jose. Her blood in any pedigree is price-
less. Pistol is bred very much like Heir at Law on
his dam's side, as the dams of both horses are by
Alcantara out of daughters of Jessie Pepper.

Eureka 2:15 1-4 as a Pole Horse.

The laurels gained by Frank Bower's celebrated
trotting team, King Harry and John P. Stewart, dur-
ing the past two seasons, has caused a split of rivalry
amony Philadelphia and nearby horsemen. Several
well known drivers are out for Bower's scalp, so to
speak, and among the latest to enter the difficult com
petition of mating a pair that can step with the pony
crackerjacks is Dr. H. W. Lobb, of Belmont Driving
Club. Some time ago, on the advice of John Splan,
Lobb purchased the chestnut gelding Eureka 2:15} by
Ira, a son of Piedmont. Ira's dam was Irene, the
dam of Stanford 2:261 by Mohawk Chief. Eureka's
dam was a celebrated road mare by Nutwood. Eureka
was brought from California by the late Tom Keating
and considered a world beater and is one of the hand-
somest geldings in Philadelphia — 15 hands 3 inches
high, a deep chestnut in color, with the coroDet white.
After considerable search for a mate to Eureka, Lobb
through John E. Madden, has secured a perfect match
iD a seven year old mare, recently named Belladonna
by Charles H. Page, secretary of the Turf Club.
Belladonna is by Don Wilkes, son of Red Wilkes, dam
by Pickett, a son of Aberdeen. Don Wilkes is by Red
Wilkes, dam Princess by Mambrino Pet, a son of
Mambrino Patchen. Belladonna has no record, but
has shown a trial over the State Fair track at Trenton-
N. J., in 2:20. The team is perfectly matched, go
together well on the walk or trot and can speed a 2:20
clip. They will be conditioned for next soason's
matinees, and, with the good luck that should go with
their names, the Doctor thinks he can beat any team
in Philadelphia. — T> otter and Pacer.

Chicago's Great Stock Yards.

The stupendous magnitude of the business done at
the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, is shown by last
year's official reports, which gives for the twelve
months a total of 16,200,000 head of live stock at cash
sales amounting to $200,000,000. The rorse market
was established in 1866, and that year a total of 1553
horses were received. An idea can be formed of how
this branch of the business has grown, by the fact
that on May 25th last, more bftrses were received on
that one day than were received the entire first year.
The total for 1901 for 109,390 horses and mules, the
sales amounting to $13,128,000. The largest number
for one day was 1697, and the largest number for one
month 13,288 — the month of March. The outlook for
the coming year is brighter and 'will no doubt break
all previous records.

Purcnase one of the broodmares at the Sonoma
Stock Farm's (estate of J. B. Chase) dispersal sale
February 4th, breed her to a good stallion each year,
give the foal plenty of feed and care and raise a stake
winner. There are some great producers to be sold.

Cresceus Earns More Than $70,000.

Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 10. — George H. Ketcham, the
owner and driver of Cresceus, announced today that
duriDg the year he received more than $70,000- in
purses and as money for exhibitions given in various
parts of the country by Cresceus. The horse was
today taken to the Ketcham farm, where he will re-
main during the winter.

The Abbot, Lord Derby and Boralma.

Two match races were made in New York last Wed-
nesday that will result in great races during the com-
ing season. The matches were the outgrowth of the
following banter made by Thos. W. Lawson of Boston
and published in the American Horse Breeder of that
city January 7th:

"If there is any one who has an idea at the present
time he owns a horse the equal of Boralma, and thinks
so strongly enough to make a match now for anything
from $5000 to $20,000, best three in five, twenty-five
per cent forfeit to be deposited now, twenty-five per
cent June 1, and the balance the night before the ri oe.
Lord Derby, The Abbot or Cresceus preferred , let him
speak up, and if his voice sounds pleasant, I think we
can come to an interesting agreement; or oetter still,
if the owners of Cresceus, Lord Derby and The Abbot
will get together, I will race one at Hartford for $5000
a side, one at Readville for the same amount, and the
third one at Lexington for the same amount, and if
the three combined can win a majority of the three
races I to pay them $10,000; if not, they to pay me
$10,000, one half of the gate receipts of each of the
three races to go to local charities to be named by the
winner or the track association."

When this defi of Mr. Lawson's was published, Mr.
Scannell, owner of The Abbot 2:03}, and Mr. Smathers,
owner of Lord Derby 2:06*, went to the office of the
New York .Journal and deposited $5000 each, and on
Tuesday night of this week Mr. Lawson telegraphed
two checks of $5000 each to bind the matches. As
Mr. Ketcham has repeatedly announced that Cresceus
is to be retired permanently to the stud at the end of
his exhibition tour, and has already booked many
mares to him, it is not likely that he will pay any

Shorter Races and Shorter Distance.

When the Biennial Congress of the National and
American Trotting Associations meets next month at
New York, an effort will be made to have the distance
shortened in all races. President Ijams, of the Ameri-
can Association, would like to see the distance shortened
to 40 yards, but if it is made less than the present 80
yards there will probably be a compromise on 70 in
races where less than eight horses start and 90 where
eight or more are lined up. At the preliminary meet-
ing of representatives of the two associations held in
New York last week there was considerable discussion
as to this and other proposed reforms, and reported as
follows in the New York Shu:

Beyond a doubt associations will not hail with delight
the shortening of the distance ground, and it was
argued in the corridors that just as they did with the
hopples associations in announcing their race condi-
tions, they could reserve the right to go by the old
rule. However, if the measure be adopted, it is hard
to see just how meetings can be conducted with such
violation in any one clause. With the hopples it was
far different, the parent associations leaving it optional
on the part of members as to whether hopples were or
were not to be tolerated. It was significant, this gen-
eral desire to see races shortened and the methods of
the running turf somewhat adopted, and not a few
who chatted on the subject expressed the opinion that
from now on the races must end with the fifth heat.

Pew drivers took interest in this conference and so
could not be interviewed. As a rule they favor the

on a board where they can see it plain as can be.

"Another thing. The shorter the races the better
is the betting always you will find. You just get the
horses together in a dash race, two in three or that
Brighton Beach plan and I'll give 50 per cent more
everywhere for their betting privileges. They can't
get the races too short to suit the bettors. I know
for I've watched it closely."

Mary by Flaxtail.

In volume 3 of the American Trotting Register, on
page 128, among the mares there registered is the
following:

Mary, b m fooled, 1866, got by Flaxtail (pacer); dam
by a horse called Bright Eyes. Bred by Geo. Lieu-
rance. Mahaska county, Iowa; owned by M. W. Hicks,
Keokuk, Iowa.

Old Mary and her owner, Dr. Hicks, have both
passed away, but the old mare's produce is breeding
on and by their performances fulfilling all and more
than all the predictions made for them by her owner.

Of Mary's foals, but one, Apex 2:26, has a standard
record, but in the second, third and fourth genera-
tions the blood of old Mary is marching on. Mary
herself had a record of 2:12 and a public trial of 2:25

Bred to Prompter, she produced Apex that took a
trotting record of 2:26 at Santa Rosa in 1886, when
high wheel sulkies were in vogue.

Bred to Egmont she produced Sterling 6223, that
sired Acrobat 2:18}, Charivari 2:20}, Argent 2:21},
Rattle Bones 2:28 and the stallion Brilliant that pro-
duced Brilliantine 2:17}, a mare that has paced a half

attention to the Lawson challenge.

There will be a world of talk and speculation as to
the result of the two races. Each horse has its friends
and reasons will be offered in profusion why it should
beat the other. Boralma has the hardest task to per-
form, as he will be expected to beat both horses. On
form The Abbot should be the favorite. He has a
record more than three seconds faster than Lord
Derby and 3} faster than Boralma. That he can trot
a mile in 2:05 anytime when in perfect condition is
pretty certain, while neither of the other two has
demonstrated that he is that fast. Lord Derby trotted
the last half of the mile in 1:02* when making his rec-
ord and is thought by some to be the coming cham-
pion. He defeated Boralma handily last year.

The breeding of these three geldings is noteworthy:

The Abbot 2:03} is by Chimes, son of Electioneer and
Beautiful Bells, out of Nettie King 2:201 by Mambrino
King; second dam Nettie Murphy by Hamlin's Patchen.

Lord Derby 2:06* is by Mambrino King, son of Mam-
brino Patchen and Belle Thornton by Edwin Forrest,
out of Claribel by Almont Jr.; second dam Coraline by
Almonarch.

Boralma 2:07 is by Boreal, son of Bow Bells (brother
to Chimes); his dam is Earalma by Earl, second dam
Amal by Clay.

Mr. J. B. Haggin now owns five thousand acres o
blue grass land in Kentucky and is ready uO buy more
from adjoining owners whenever the price is right.
He has sixteen stallions and three hundred mares at
Elmendorf.

BORALMA 2:07.

Brighton Beach plan, but do not believe in too vigor-
ous measures to prevent laying up of heats. Nor do
they favor a shorter distance flag. Mr. Ijams argues
that it is a part of the trainer's vocation to so balance
and educate his horses as to prevent these standstill
breaks and consequent distancing.

"I breed horses, have had a trainer for years, race
my own horses at times, have acted many times as
starting judge, and I tell you we must advance, not
stand still and do things thus and so just because our
predecessors were so inclined," he said. "Racing
today is a great public amusement, and all should
lend a hand to the end that our racegoing assemblages
see actual contests — every heat scheduled for decision."

Andy Welch said: "I think I hit the right idea by
giving every heat winner in the Charter Oak $10,000
stake $1,000 regardless of where he finished in the
other heats. Make it an object to win extra money
and the drivers are alert to get there by the shortest
route. Records today count but little. It's no longer
'wait till I get him just to an edge, then a killing,' for
by the time they are ready to move what is the con-
sequence'? Why they start favorite always.

"You can't cheat nowadays with a horse as you
could a few years ago. No chance on earth to work
and race horses 'under cover' like the old fellows did
years ago. No, sir. I believe in big stake racesi
dashes above a mile and practically three moneys;
then let the public make the odds on any proposed
system following the plan of the old mutual system —
each horse at $5 and the number of tickets sold posted

in less than one minute.

Sent to the court of Wayland Forrest Mary pro-
ducsd Lettie, that is the dam of the pacer Welcome
2:101 and the trotters Wayland W. 2:121 and Maud
Singleton 2:28*. Of these Welcome is the sire of Iloilo
2:29}, his first colt to start: Wayland W. is the sire of
Arthur W. 2:11 J and John A. 2:12}, while Maud Single-
ton is the dam of Silver Ring 2:11*.

Mary was bred to Buccaneer and produced Grace,
that is the dam of Daedalion 2:11, Eagle 2:19* and
Creole 2:15, and Grace has a four and a five year old
by Silver Bow that will take low records at the trot
just as certain as they are raced. Creole is the sire of
Javelin 2:08}.

To the cover of Prompter Grace produced Ripple,
that bred to Durfee produced Effie Logan, dam of the
great race horse Sir Albert S. 2:08J.

Another foal of Mary's by Buccaneer was Gazelle,
that was the dam of Algenie and Algenie is the dam
of Kelly Briggs 2:lui .

Let us recapitulate:

Mary by Flaxtail, dam of Apex 2:26.

Sons produced 1 from 2:18} to 2:28.

Grandson produced 1 in 2:17}.

Daughters produced 6 from 2:10* to 2:19*.

Sons of daughters produced 3 from 2:08} to 2:12}.

Granddaughters produced 3 from 2:08} to 2:11*.

Great granddaughter produced 1 in 2:08

This is quite a record for one mare.

Notes and News.

GX§!S£d<4«3=<E£D<#**

Begin right now.

To advertise your stallion

Breeding will begin next month.

The Rochester, N. Y., amateur driving club has five
hundred members.

Two pacing sons of Onward have each sired a trotter
that took a record better than 2:10.

Board of Directors of Paciac Coast Trotting Horse
Breeders' Association will meet next week.

James Thompson has gone to Los Angeles with a
string of horses to train over the track there.

William Mac 2:05} established eleven track records
and four State records during the season just closed.

Secretary Sidney W. Giles claims the week beginning
July 28th, 'for the Grand Circuit meeting at Cleveland.

W O Bowers of Sacramento, claims the name
Betsy Bee for a chestnut filly by Silver Bee 2:27} out
of Sadie Benton.

Neva Simmons 2:11}, it is said, was fed and raised
with a bottle, her dam going dry when the filly was
but a month old.

No books on harness races at the State Fair will
meet the endorsement of all the harness horse owners
in California without exception.

Your weanling is now a yearling, your yearling a
two year old and your two year old is three. This is
all because a new year has arrived.

Geo. W. Ford, the well known nurseryman of Santa
Ana, has sold the Santa Ana race track which he pur-
chased last year at a foreclosure sale.

Rose Leyburn 2:15} by Onward is fifteen years old.
She has six living foals and five of them have records
of 2:30 or better. The sixth is a yearling.

C. W. Williams' five stallions covered 330 mares in
1901, an average of about seventy for each. The
stallions will be taken to Kentucky again in 1902.

At the next meeting of the Los Angeles Driving
Club it is proposed to have half mile pacing and trot-
ting races to saddle if it is possible to secure sufficient
entries.

The fastest pair of horses driven by any person as a
team is owned by C. T. Chapin of Rochester, New
York. They are the pacers Connor 2:03} and Dariel.
2:051.

W. P. Ijams of Terre Haute has secured the ser-
vices of Joe Bruce as trainer, and he now has at the
famous four-cornered track sixteen head of two and
three year olds by Axtell.

The National Educator says that the best drivers
talk to their animals, and the journal might truthfully
have added that many of the poorest drivers talk to
the owners and do lots of it.

One of the early foals of the year made its appear-
ance at Geo. W. Ford's farm at Santa Ana on January
4th. It is a handsome filly by Neernut 2:12} out of
Alcola by Mambrino Wilkes.

Online 2:01 pacing and Directum 2:05} trotting, are
now occupying adjoining stalls on the International
Stock Farm in Minnesota. They hold the four year
old record at their respective gaits.

The Stallion Stake inaugurated by the California
State Agricultural Society should be one of the largest
stakes for trotting and pacing three year olds in
America. It will be if owners will nominate their
stallions.

The census of the eastern and middle states shows a
great falling off in the number of young horses. In
Maine for instance in 1891 there were 27,370 horses
three years old or younger, while in 1901 there were
but 8,670.

Thos. M. Lawson says over his own signature that it
is true that he offered the Hamlins $25,000 for Dare
Devil, which offer was refused, and adds that he stands
ready right now to pay $30,000 for the son of Mam-
brino King and Mercedes by Chimes.

G. W. Baum of Pittsburg has consigned the trotting
mare Neva Simmons 2:11} by Simmons, dam Neva, to
the Woodard & Shanklin sale, at Lexington, Ky., in
February. The mare has been one of the biggest
money winners on the Grand Circuit.

Peter Duryear, who secured Shadow Chimes 2:06}
at the Madison Square Garden sale with a bid of $5100,
says: "I intended to send the horse to Mr. West, of
Edinburg, Scotland, but John J. Scannell, fire com-
missicaer of New York, and owner of The Abbot 2:03},
wanted the great pacer so much that I let him have
him. Shadow Chimes will remain in Geer's stable,
but ' le reinsman does not own a cent in him."

Third payment of $10 each has been made on 156
foals named for the First Pacific Breeders Futurity,
that has a guaranteed value of $6000. This stake is
for foals of 1901.

Second payment was made on 231 of the original
299 mares named in the Second Pacific Breeders
Futurity for the foals of mares bred in 1901. This is a
great showing and gives promise that the stake may
exceed the $6000 guaranteed.

Brown Bess, a mare by Antevolo out of Black Bess
by Venture, is among the broodmares to be sold at the
closing out of the stock belonging to the estate of J.
B. Chase, deceased, which will take place at the sale-
yard, 1732 Market street, in this city, February 4th.

Freddie C. 2:14}, the little pony by Direct that was
only a short neck behind Sir Albert S. in 2:11} at the
Breeders' meeting last August in Sacramento, is being
wintered at Seattle. The little fellow is looking better
than ever and will make things warm in the 2:15 classes
this year whenever and wherever he starts.

The California bred broodmare Lady Mackay by
Silverthreads 18653, son of The Moor, adds another
performer to her list in the trotter Marchhurst Belle
2:23}. Lady Mackay is now the dam of four in the
list, including the stallion Oakland Baron 2:09}, two
speed -siring sons and one speed-producing daughter.

There is a five year old brown gelding by Secretary,
out of Brown Bass by Antevolo 2:191, second dam by
Venture in the Sonoma Stock Farm's dispersal sale
that should be snapped up quickly when put up for
bids. It is not only a fine individual but has every
prospect of being a fast trotter and valuable roadster.

The usual crop of 2:10 trotters and 2:05 pacers is
growing fast under the genial warmth of the hot air
meetings that are being held wherever two or more
horse owners are gathered together, but the honiDg
they get on the Jaw Bone Circuit will put the majority
of them out of business before the training season is
fairly under way.

There are eight pacers that have paced in 2:02 or
better, as follows: Star Pointer 1:59}, John R. Gentry
2:00J, Prinze Alert 2:001, Joe Patehen 2:01 J, Little
Bcy~2:011, Robert J. 2:011, Anaconda 2:01} and Coney
2:02. How many men now alive expected during the
day of the high wheel sulky to see or read of such an
array of extremely fast sidewheelers.

Gazelle 2:111 by Gossiper 2:11} seems destined to he
a great broodmare. At nine years of age she is the
dam of Zolock 2:101. Zephyr, a 2:10 trotting prospect,
owned by M. J. C McKinney, of Titusville, Pa., for
which he paid $9000 last spring; also a two year old,
trial eighth in 16 seconds, sired by Titus, and another
good prospect. Gazelle is now in foal to Council
Chimes 2:071 and will probably never be raced again.

William C. Trimble, a veteran horseman and the
patriarch of the American trotting turf, died at New-
burg, New Yoi'k, on the 7th inst , aged seventy-six
years. He trained and developed Mountain Boy in
1865 and gave Cobwebs, the speedway champion, his
record in 1894. He spent fifty years with trotters and
was known amoug horsemen all over the country.
His last appearance as a driver was on the Newburg
track last fall.

Mr. Hugh F. R. Vail of Santa Barbara, has arranged
to send bis mare Veronica 2:29, dam of his stallion
Neil W., to be bred to Iran Alto 2:12} this year.
Veronica has been bred to the Santa Rosa Stock
Farm's stallion, Almonition, for the past three years
and has two fiDe fillies by that horse. Veronica is an
inbred Almont, being by Alcona 730, son of Almont,
out of Fontana the dam of Silas Skinner 2:17, and two
others, by Almont.

Keepsake, dam of Tommy Britton 2:061, has but six
living foals, and four have records: Katie Britton
2:25, foaled 1891, by Egotist 2:221: Tommy Britton
2:061, foaled 1893. by Liberty Bell 2:24; J R. Slaughter
2:261, foaled 1895, by Liberty Bell, and Rose Warren
2:23}, foaled 1896, by Alta Vista. Keepsake is now
owned by William Simpson, of Empire City Stud, and
her other two foals are Keeps (1898) by Prince of India
2:13J and a filly (1901) by Stately 2:11}, pacing, son of
Hummer.

The American and National trotting rules will be
amended at the Biennial Congress to be held in New
York on the 12th of next month so as to prohibit any
heat in a race being called after sunset. This will
entirely remove the trouble that has occurred every
year under the old rule which prohibits horses being
started when it is too dark for the judges to distin-
guish their gait. Some wonderful cases of owl eyed
judges have been developed under this rule, especially
on the last day of a meeting.

Santa Rosa Stock Farm came very near losing a
valuable filly the other day with lung fever, the same
disease that carried off Janice 2:08}. This filly is a
four year old by Sidney Dillon out of Lou Milton, dam
of Redwood 2:211 and Ethel Mack 2:25, and was one
of the most promising candidates for last year's Occi-
dent Stake, but was taken with distemper and did not
start. She bad shown quarters in 33 seconds and it
would probably have taken'heats in 2:15 or thereabouts
to dereat her. When attacked with lung fever last
week, the experience with Janice came in play and the
filly was taken in hand immediately and is now all
right again.

Ten years and more ago the pen name of Father A.
T. Hendrick — ''Aurelius" — was one of the most familiar
on the list of contributors to the turf press, while his
contributions were also among the ablest of that era.
Of late he has dropped out of the field— which is a
matter of general regret — but his pen is busy in others
which pertain to his life work. Father Hendrick is
now the rector of St. Bridget's Catholic Church of
Rochester, N. Y., and is one of the most active and
respected clergymen in the Empire State.

A daughter of Buccaneer will be offered at the sale
of horses from the Sonoma Stock Farm at the old
Killip & Co. salesyard, corner Market and Van Ness
avenue, February 4th. Buccaneer sired Grace, the
dam of Daedalion 2:11 and Creole 2:15.

The record for the Russian Orloff trotter is now
2:14} and with American training methods and Amer-
ican drivers it looks as if the time is not far distant
when the Russian breed will compete with the Ameri-
can. It is well to note, however, that Goldsmith Maid
made her champion record of 2:14 on September 2,
1874, and it has taken the American breeder twenty-
five years to get from 2:14 to 2:02}, and with a start of'a
quarter of a century the Russian trotter is not liable
to catch up in the next generation.— Spirit oftlie Times.

The Ann Arbor Driving Club, its officers and mem-
bers stand suspended for failure to pay the $300 free-
for-all purse last fall. The suspension is the result of
a protest against the club's action filed by the winner,
Mr. Goldberg of Detroit, who is the owner of Satin
Slippers. The mare won the race in the time sur-
rounding 2:27, although the racer has a mark of 2:09.
The driving club considered it a put-up race in the
stables and refused to let the ghost walk. It has not
yet been determined what will be done with the record
on the black list.

It is learned that Thomas W. Lawson, who is estab-
lishing a breeding farm at Scituate, Miss., has asked
the Hamlins for a price on Dare Devil 2:09 by Mam-
brino King. However, the Village Farm people have
advised Mr. Lawson that no money would buy the
black stallion, declining to sell at any price. Dare
Devil is nine years old and a fine individual. He has
won seven first prizes and three championships at the
national horse show, New York, and will some day be
at the head of the Village Farm stud. He already has
many fine sons and daughters at the farm.

A. E. Perren has been paying a visit to his old
friends in Buffalo, and in an interview said in part:
"The time is past when a man can say of a ttotter or
pacer that he has outlived his usefulness on the track
and can be retired to the speedway. The speedway of
to-day demands the best there is. There are no finer
harness horses in the world than those seen on the
New York speedway. Yes, an afternoon on the New
York speedway nowadays is a treat and an education
to the lover of the horse. Splendid animals are out.
They must not alone possess speed, but must be fine
actors, and possess distinct character."

Mr. A. H. Miller of Buffalo, New York, who has
purchased quite a number of California horses during
the past few years, among others Gazelle2:lll, Agitato
2:09 and Mamie Griffin 2:12, will consign nearly all his
horses to the Fasig-Tipton New York sale this month
He says: "I am not going out of the business entirely,
but only want a couple of high class campaigners — a
trotter and a pacer. When the campaign opens again
I may decide to purchase a campaigner if I run across
the right kind — a sensational performer well staked.
I prefer paying several thousand dollars more for a
horse all ready for the races in June or July than to
run the chances of knocking out a good prospect now
in training." Mr. Miller is the gentleman who wanted
Zolock 2:101 and Anzella 2:10] and offered $10,000 and
$3500 for them respectively.

'Andy" McDowell, who drove Alix, Azote, Directly
as a two year old to his record of 2:07}, and Georgena
to her record, when a cripple, of 2:07}, has several
really good horses in prepartioo for his 1902 campaign.
He will again race little Martha Marshall 2:07}, the
only pacer that ever took a heat from Dan Patch 2:04},
Aggie Medium2:12}, MajorGreer 2:14, Betsy Tell2:29],
that has been second in races in 2:14, and a few others
belonging to William Kelly, the wealthy Brooklyn
contractor who formerly owned Dan Cupid 2:09}, and
on pleasant days drives them regularly on the speed-
way. "Andy" McDowell is probably the best "catch"
driver to-day before the public and can get more out
of a tired horse than any of our leading trainers. He
has the satisfaction of knowing that few ever left him
to lower the records he gave them, which shows just
how great a reinsman and conditioner he is. Since
giving up Monroe Salisbury's horses he has lived East,
and as he likes New York he will probably be amomber
of our local contingent for several seasons to come. —
N. T. Svm.

The Sacramento Record-Union says: "Mayor George
H. Clark has a new pacer called Fred Ames, purchased
for him in New York by Vet Tryon at the Fasig sale
held there a few weeks ago. Fred Ames is a hand-
some bay gelding, weighing a little less than 1,000
pounds, and is by Bayard Wilkes, a son of George
Wilkes. Last summer at Readville, Mass., to a wagon
at a driving club matinee he was second by a length
to a horse which took the heat in 2:09}. From this it
appears that on the Riverside road this summer and
at the matinees of the local driving clhb the steed that
passes the Mayor's flyer will have to be speedy. It is
the opinion of some of the horsemen that Joe Terry's
Margaretta will give the new pacer as hot a brush as
any hereabouts." Fred Ames is nine years old, and
has a race record of 2:20} made on a half mile track in
1900. In 1901, he was used by Geo. F. Leonard of Bos-
ton, as a matinee horse and pulled a wagon in 2:151.
Best of all, this horse can be driven by anyone, on the
road or in races as he is clean gaited and level headed,
needs no straps or boots, and can be rated at any part
of the mile.

STATE BOARD OK AGRICULTURE.

Prospective Change in Betting System-
Stallion Stake for Trotting and
Pacing Colts.

New

The State Board of Agricultural Directors held a
meeting; last Saturday afternoon, with the following
members present: A. B. Spreckels, J. E. Terry, John
Mackey, C. W. Paine, Benjamin Rush, Park Henshaw,
Grove L. Johnson and Frank Covey.

The meeting was called for the special purpose of
making arrangements to turn over Agricultural Park
to the possession of the State of California, in accord-
ance with the provisions of an Act of the last Legisla-
ture, which appropriated $45,000 to pay the debt of
the Agricultural Society. As it was considered best
to obtain a clear legal knowledge of the method of
transfer, a committee was appointed consisting of
Directors Johnson, Henshaw and Mackey, who were
empowered to obtain the legal information and report
to the board at its next meeting on February 8th.

The betting question at State Fairs was taken under
discussion, and the secretary was instructed to get the
opinion of horsemen from all over the State as to the
advisability of selling auction pools and Paris mutuels
on all harness events, and bookmaking on all running
events.

As many of the horse owners of the State had mis-
understood the provisions of the Stallion Stake, for
the get of stallions entered January 1, 1901, the date
of entries was extended to March 1, 1901, in order to
give them a chance to enter their colts.

A new departure was made in racing circles by the
formulating of a new stallion stake for harness events.
Following is the announcement:

dition: That all disputes that may arise in rogard to
the conditions of this race shall be settled by the Board
of Directors of the State Agricultural Society, or those
whom they may appoint, and the decision shall be
final, — Sacramento Record- Union.

To the usual statement "not afraid of steam, cable
or electric cars1' which is used in advertising horses
for sale for city purposes, must now be added "or
automobiles."

Getting Lively at the Horse Centre.

Although the weather has been anything but favor-
able in this section of California for the past month,
frosty mornings and no rain making farmers and horse
breeders rather anxious, scarcely a day passes that
does not see a few additional stalls at the famous Pleas-
anton training track filled with newcomers.

The largest string stabled here is from the Santa
Rosa Stock Farm and in charge of that able speed in-
structor, Millard Sanders. With Dolly Dillon 2:07 and
Bonsilene 2:14} to act as demonstrators, and a class of
a dozen youngsters of more or less enthusiasm and
promise, Mr. Sanders is kept very busy and when the
warm weather of spring comes he will be riding some
fast quarters and halves.

Geo. A. Kelly is not doing much at present aside
from making a number of improvements in the pretty
little home he recently purchased here, and keeping
Anzella 2:10} and one or two more in good shape.
Mr. Kelly declined $3500 for Anzella twice lately and
will race her through the Grand Circuit unless he gets
the price he thinks th6 mare is worth. Every good
judge of a trotting horse who has seen Anzella race
will tell you that she is worth more money than Mr.
Kelly asks for her.

Bert Webster is handling a lot of youngsters for
Chas. Griffith in his quiet but effective way. I notice
that Bert always has his charges in good shape, that
he is careful and painstaking and can teach the speed
lessons as well as any of them. Mr. Griffith has taken
up his residence here and is driving Bonnie Direct 2:05 }
much himself. It makes no difference who drives
Bonnie they all "rubber" when the handsome stallion
goes by.

J. M. Alviso is taking good care of Rey del Diablo
2:23 and getting ready to begin work on some extra
good prospects belonging to Lou CrelHn. There is a
Searchlight or two to break, I believe, though not old
enough to train for the races.

Mr. Geo. A. Davis of Rancho del Valle sent his
handsome stallion Rey Direct 2:10 and four of his
coming two year olds to Los Angeles last week. Rey
Direct will make the season of 1902 down there and
the four two year olds were taken along to show what
sort Rey Direct produces. Mr. Parker also took the
old pacer Col. Benton 2:14J by Brown Jug with him.

Sam Gamble has three three year olds at the track.
The black stud colt byAxtell will be a handsome horse
and as he is bred in the purple ought to be a sire of
speed. Some one asked Sam the other day if he was
training him for the races and he answered, "Not yet;
I am. training him Tor a stallion at present." The filly
by Kremlin 2:07f acts like a rare good one.

Ed Lafferty went down to the city last week and
came back with a mare that looks like one of those
good things that is not picked up every day. She is
by Chas. Derby out of an Anteeo mare and was bred
up at Oakwood Park. I believe Mr. Umbsen, the
popular real estate dealer of San Francisco, is her
owner. Lafferty has four or five others that be is
getting in shape — among them two full brothers by
Silver Bow 2:16 out of Grace, the dam of Daedalion
2:11 Creole 2:15 and Eagle 2:19i. The five year old is
a peacherino and the four year old is very much like
him.

Worth Ober has quite a number of horses belonging
to the Sharon estate that he is working the long hair
off from and teaching not to snort every time they are
looked at. Worth is one of the best horse educators
in the country, however, and it will not be long until
he has them all looking at locomotives as if they were
old friends and acting as if those pesky automobiles
were something good to eat.

Mr. Juan Gallegos has a string of good looking and
well bred young horses here that were bred by him on
his beautiful farm at Mission San Jose. They are in
charge of his son, who is a polite and attentive young
gentleman who takes great interest in all the horses in
his care. A Diablo colt is very promising and a hand,
some horse, while a blocky built filly by Direct is show-
ing lots of speed.

Several trainers have applied for stalls on February
1st, and William Sutherland, who is superintending
the track and keeping it in good condition, is willing
to bel a good box of cigars against one of Alviso's
cigarette?, that if there are two or three weeks of rain
in February there will be two or three hundred horses
at the track in March. As Jim seldom bets unless he
has a pretty good thing, just keep your eye on Pleas-
anton after the rainy season. Ima Railbird.

Hart Boswell Goes to Pleasanton.

There are now eight sires credited with having sired
100 or more standard performers as follows: Nutwood
2:18, with 165; Eltctioneer, with 100; Onward 2:25},
with 158; Red Wilkes, with 158; Alcantara 2:23, with
149; Simmons 2:28, with 106; Wilton 2:19$, with 102,
and Gambetta Wilkes 2:19}, with 101. The three last
named were added to this exclusive list this year. Of
those sires, Onward, Red Wilkes, Alcantara, Wilton
and Gambetta Wilkes are still living.

Mr. Geo. A. Davis, of Pleasanton, than whom there
is no more intelligent and enthusisastic lover and
breeder of trotting horses, has made arrangements by
which he has secured from owner K. O'Grady, of San
Mateo, the stallion Hart Boswell and will take him to
Pleasanton for the season of 1902.

Hart Boswell has been of late years one of the "over-
looked" stallions of California. Bred in lines that arc
of the very richest purple, an individual of rare merit,
he has not received the patronage he deserved, and
none of his colts have been trained, although ^.hey are
fine lookers and have plenty of natural speed.

Recognizing the fact that Onward is the greatest
living son of George Wilkes, and that his well bred
sons will be much sought after this year by intelligent
breeders, Mr. Davis has secured Hart Boswell, son of
Onward and the great mare Nancy Lee by Dictator,
that gave to the world the wonderful Nancy Hanks
2:04, queen of her day, and already the dam of a won-
derful colt trotter.

Hart Boswell is now twelve years old, and was bred
by Hart Boswell, of Kentucky (for whom he was
named), and purchased by Samuel Gamble for the
Hobart Stock Farm, which, unfortunately for the
breeding interests of California, was disbanded upon
the death of its founder. Onward, sire of Hart Bos
well, is now the sire of 158 in the standard list, of which
26 have records of 2:15 or better and nine are in the
2:10 list, more of the extreme speed performers than
are to the credit of any other sire. Onward is looked
upon by a very large number of horsemen as the best
son of George Wilkes, and when it is recollected that
his dam is the great broodmare Dolly, that also gave
to the world the mighty Director 2:17, sire of Directum
2:05} and Direct 2:05J, and founder of a wonderful
family, and that she also produced Thorndale 2:22},
John F. Payne and Pretender, all producing sires, as
well as four standard performers and the dams of sev-
eral fast ones, it is not surprising that the claim is
made. Onward leads all living sires in the number of
2:30 performers, in the number of 2:20 performers and
all sires, living or dead, in the number of 2:10 perform-
ers. On the Eastern Grand Circuit the get of Onward
made a wonderful snowing this year and led the
produce of any other stallion in the amount of money
won. When race horses are up for discussion, the
kind that have gone out and won money in contests,
the names of the trotters Beuzette2:06}, Onward Silver
2:08, Pilatus 2:09}, Cornelia Belle 2:10, Cut Glass 2:10},
and the pacers Pearl Onward 2:06A, Gazette 2:07 J, Col-
bert 2:075, Col. Thornton 2:09$, Major Mason 2:09}
come to mind, and they are all sons and daughters of
Onward.

The dam of Hart Boswell ranks high among the
broodmares as his sire does among the stallions. Nancy
Lee was sired by the great Dictator, sire among many
others of the champion Jay Eye See 2:06}, whose name
was once a household word, and whose daughters
have produced Lockheart 2:08$, Gazette 2:07}, Rex
Americus 2:11}, Princass Eulalie 2:09} and more than
a dozen in the 2:15 list. Nancy Lee was herself the
greatest daughter of Dictator as she produced Nancy
Hanks 2:04, and Nancy Stam 2:30, and her son Dicta-
tor Wilkes is the sire of Dick Turpin 2:09£ and seven
more with standard records. Nancy Lee's dam was
Sophy, a daughter of Edwin Forrest 49, and the
grandam of Mike Wilkes 2:16$. Sophy's dam was by
Parker's Brown Pilot, a son of Copperbottom, her
grandam a thoroughbred mare by Bertrand out of a
mare by Lance.

Here is the very choicest of breeding — high class
producing trotting blood, backed by the very best of
thoroughbred, and it is to be found on both sides of
Hart Bos well's pedigree.

The most successful and scientific thoroughbred
breeders have a rule which says that the best results
are obtained by "returning to a stallion the best strains
of his dam." This is the Bruce Lowe theory, which
is finding so many followers in England, Australia and
the United States. Now the best strain in the dam of
Hart Boswell is from her sire Dictator, as the latter
produced Director, sire of Directum and Direct, the
latter the sire of Directly 2:03}, Bonnie 'Direct 2:05}
and Rey Direct 2:10. In and around Pleasanton there
are many daughters of Director, Direct and Directum
and some young fillies by Bonnie Direct and Rey
Direct. By breeding these mares to Hart Boa well,
breeders will be following the thoroughbred rule of
"returning to the sire the best strains of his dam,"
and it should produce great results. We understand
Hart Boswell's service fee will be $30.

In speaking of the Dallas, Texas, track, Mr. Ketcham
said after driving Cresceus over it in 2:07}: "There
are only five trotting tracks in the world that are bet-
ter, namely, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, Providence
and Memphis. The last named — the best in the
world — is the only one pronouncedly Its superior.
Dallas is close up in the class with the others."

THE NEW STAKE for the get of harness stallions
which has been inaugurated by the California
State Agricultural Society, the official announcement
of which will be found in the advertising columns of
this journal, should meet the approval and receive the
support and endorsement of every stallion owner on
the Pacific Coast. There are wonderful possibilities in
this stake and if the breeders of trotters and pacers
give it one-half the patronage it deserves it will be the
largest stake ever contested for in America. The
stake is for the get of stallions that may be nominated,
the nomination fee for these stallions to be the amount
of their fee in 1901 where they stood for public service;
private stallions to pay $20 each nomination fee. In
the columns of the Holiday edition of the BREEDER
and Sportsman there were 45 stallions advertised
whose service fees ranged from $20 to $100 each, the
total being $1650. Should all of these stallions be
entered (and they do not comprise one-tenth of the
standard bred horses that will be in the stud on the
Pacific Coast during 1902) the stake would! have $2650
in it before a foal was entered, as the State Agricul-
tural Society will add $1000 in such case. The stake
is open to the get of all stallions that were in service
in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho,
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and Arizona during
1901, and if 100 stallions are named in it there should
be nearly a thousand foals on which \ first payment of
$5 is made June 1, 1903, when the foals are one year
old, and as the entire entrance fee on the foals is but
$50 including a starting fee of $20, it will be the least
expensive stake ever devised. The very least amount
that can be expected in this stake is S5000 and $50 is
but one per cent of the stake. If the stake reaches
$10,000 (and it should far exceed that amount) the
entire entrance fee would be but one-hall of one per
cent, something unheard of in the history of trotting
and pacing or any other stakes. The stake is to be
contested in 1905, when the colts entered are three years
old and will be in two divisions, 60 per cent going to
trotters and 40 per cent to the pacers, while the owners
of stallions that sire the winners are to get $250 each.
We do not know of a stake where the payments are so
easy. The first, of $5 is not du i until the colt is a year
old. There is a payment of $10 due March 1st of the
following year, and one of $15 May 1st of the year of
the race. - These are all the payments except a final
one of $20 on August 1st, about one month prior to the
race. Payments not made as they become due
declares the entry out and releases subscriber from
further liability. Look over the advertisement care-
fully and it will be found that the State Agricultural
Society has devised a stake that is bound to be one of
the most popular ever inaugurated and we believe
that eastern associations will be adoptiug the plan be-
fore the year is out. Nearly all futurities require the
mare to be nominated before foaling. This stake calls
for stallions to be named and not a cent has to be paid
on the foal until it is a yearling, so that the breeder
has an idea whether he has a colt worth entering or
nc i. All hail to the new stake and thanks are due
the Board of Directors of the State association for
their interest in the welfare of horse owners and
r -eeders. May there be a majority of the stallions in
le States and Territories comprising the district,
^minated, and may the foals entered run up into the
t! ousands. The stake is worthy of it.

A GOOD WORK has been started by the Directors
of the California State Agricultural Society by
which it is proposed to abolish bookmaking on harness
racing at the State Pair this year. At the meeting of
the Board held last week Director P. W. Covey pre-
sented a resolution which directed the Secretary, Geo.
W. Jackson, to communicate with all horsemen inter-
ested in harness racing and secure their individual
views in regard to the matter, so that action may be
taken at the uext meeting of the Board on February
8th. Mr. Covey made a very earnest and able address
on presenting the resolution setting forth the evils of
the present bookmaking system on harness events,
and it is very probable that the Board will confine all
betting on trotting and pacing races to auction pools
and mutuels this year, permitting bookmaking only on
the running events. Every person interested in har-
ness racing or the breeding of harness horses should
endorse this new departure and give the members of
the Board hearty support in their action. If the State
Agricultural Society will lead, every district association
will follow, and the trotting turf of California will be
relieved of an evil that has well nigh ruined it. Let
no harness horse breeder or owner fail to write Secre-
tary Jackson forthwith on the subject. The State
Board of Agriculture desires an expression of opinion,
and are entitled to one before acting in the matter.

PALO ALTO BROODMARES and stallions will be
eagerly sought after in a few years. The famous
breeding farm is to be dispersed and within another
year all the horses will have passed under the hammer.
The sale of 25 mares and three stallions from this
farm, which will take place at the Occidental Horse
Exchange on the 30th inst, will give buyers an oppor-
tunity that will not again be offered, and when all are
sold many persons will regret they did not buy when
they had the chance. We ask every reader of the
Breeder and Sportsman who wants a broodmare
or a stallion to send to William G. Layng, Auctioneer,
721 Howard street, for a catalogue of this sale. Study
the blood lines in the mares and stallions offered and
be at the salesyard when the auction begins. Elec-
tioneer blood is the need of most California stock farms.
Wilkes blood is very plentiful here and it is the very
best cross to make with Electioneer stock. There is
an old saying that opportunity knocks at every per-
son's door once. It is knocking at yours now. Don't
go to sleep and permit it to pass on.

A -BIENNIAL MEETING or congress of members of
the National and American Trotting Associations
will be held at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York, on
Wednesday, February 12th. At this congress many
changes will be made in the rules of these two associa-
tions, the majority of which will be unimportant.
Several very important changes will be effected how-
ever, one of which will be the one pertaining to bars
and records. The new rule will probably read as
follows:

"Records cannot be made or bars incurred in trials
of speed where there is no poolselling, bookmaking or
other public betting on the event, no money competed
for, no entrance charged or collected from competing
horses, no admission fee charged to the gate or grand
stand, and no privilege of any kind sold. Such per-
formances shall not be considered public races.''

As will be seen by a careful reading of the above,
but few clubs in the country can comply with all the
requirements neeessary to avoid records. While the
majority charge no gate receipts and have no public
betting, many charge for seats in the grand stand and
sell the privileges of cafe and bar for a goodly sum.
After the new rule goes into effect it will be easy to
tell what clubs are organized for pure sport.

McKINNEY 2:11} will begin the season of 1902 at
San Jose, February 1st, at $100 the season,
limited to fifty mares. McKinney holds the champion-
ship of all stallions of his age as a sire of extreme
speed. At fourteen years he has four 2:10 performers,
headed by Coney 2:02; nineteen 2:15 performers and
twenty-eight in the 2:20 list. No other fourteen year
old stallion ever approached this record. It is extreme
speed that breeders are trying to get. The long list
of 2:29} performers which were considered valuable a
few years ago are not in such high regard in this day
and generation. Time slower than 2:25 wins few races
even out on the "bush" tracks. It should be stated
that McKinney 's book for 1902 is very nearly filled
already and owners who desire to breed their mares to
the great son of Alcyone this year had better corre-
spond with Mr. Durfee at San Jose immediately. Mc-
Kinney's advertisement will be found in this issue.

SIDNEY DILLON, sire of the fastest trotting mare
of the Grand Circuit of 1901, Dolly Dillon 2:07f
will be in the stud this year to a few outside mares at
the very low fee of $35. He will be kept at Santa Rosa
Stock Farm. Sidney Dillon is a son of Sidney and a
full brother to Cupid 2:18 and Adonis 2:11J. We be-
lieve that every one of the get of Sidney Dillon and
Cupid thatlhave started have secured records. Sidney
Dillon is a horse of magnificent conformation and gets
extreme speed with great uniformity.

-"TWO THOROUGHBRED STALLIONS, one great
* as a race horse and great as a sire, the other a
young horse of most royal lineage, are advertised in
our columns this week to make the season of 1902 at
the Menlo Stock Farm. They are St. Carlo the won-
derful young sire by St. Blaise, and Ossary son of the
great Ormonde. St. Carlo has proven his worth on
the track and in the stud. Ossary is probably the
handsomest young horse in California today, and his
blood lines are such that he is almost certain to prove
one of the greatest of speed and stamina sires.

WILKES DIRECT 2:22i, son of Nutwood Wilkes
2:16i and full brother to the great wagon trotter
John A. McKerron 2:063, will again make a season at
San Jose, at a fee of $40. Wilkes Direct is a grand
individual, having size, style and substance in the
superlative degree. He is a producer of speed, all his
get showing this quality as soon as they are put on the
training track, and a few of them will be old enough
this year to be raced and will take records. A green
three year old by Wilkes Direct showed a sixteenth at
San Jose last fall in seven seconds, at the pace, which
is a running horse clip.

FB. LINFIELD, Professor of Animal Industry at
• the Agricultural College of Logan, Utah, is in
California with a view of purchasing a few Shorthorns
and Holsteins for the college's experiment station.
While coming through Nevada Prof. Linfield visited
the celebrated Los Alamos Stock Farm and selected
several good representatives of its herd of Herefords
for the college.

THE BOARD OF APPEALS of the National Trot-

Important Seizure of Illegal Nets.

Deputy Fish Commissioners Manuel Cross and W.
H. Welch last week succeeded in capturing and con-
fiscating six seines that were found illegally in use in
the Russian river. The nets were principally the
property of "shackers" living on Penny island, near
the mouth of the river. As the nets averaged from
$75 to $150 in value, the set back to the Manila men
and their confederate poachers was a serious one — the
value of the nets exceeded by far the prices received
by these law violating foreigners and their abettors,
some renegade white men of that section, in the sale
of fish peddled through Guerneville and to the ranchers
in the adjoining districts. This seizure, is, in fact, one
of the largest ever made by the Fish Commissioners
in the history of their surveillance of the river.

Cross and Welch quietly and unseen slipped off the
train at Duncan's on Thursday and remained secreted
until dark, then setting out iu a boat they proceeded
down the river. Before going far, Cross, who knows
every foot of the river came upon a net set across the
river. This was taken up and hidden on the bank,
proceeding in their quest again they searched several
likely places without success until several turns were
taken through the "Swiss pool."

This second net was stowed away on the bank and
again the two deputies kept on down the river until
Penny island was reached; here a net was found after
some piking about here and there. Hiding this one
behind a log on shore, shortly afterwards another net
was located near a fence. Proceeding around to a
rocky part of the island still another net was caught
by the grappling iron. By this time it was getting
along to daylight Friday, the two officers turned back
up the river, picking up the captured seines as they
went along, the heavy load of two men and the nets
caused the small boat to sink so that her gunwales
were within about two inches of the water's surface.
The last net was found more by accident than design.
It was discovered exactly opposite the spot where the
first net was pulled up. The river here had been
obstructed by two nets end to end, thus effectually
blocking the passage of fish up stream. When the
first net was taken up, the other one was naturally
overlooked, as the two merely lapped but were not
fastened together.

On several of the nets the mid-stream anchors were
so bulky that the officers used their knives, it being
found more expedient to do so than to take the time
for the arduous work of pulling up the anchors.

Prior to the advent of the two deputies, threats
were made by the netmen to the effect that they would
indulge in some shooting in the protection of their
illegally used property. The deputies were ready to
take a hand in the promised scrimmage last week, but
they did not happen to be discovered and the seizure
went on peacefully and kappily, if it was hard work
on an exceedingly dark night

Since last week, other parties, notably seven or eight
Indians, have been using nets in the stream. These
fellows are as full of threats as the Penny island gang
was. These latter gentry are all mad as hornets and
promise summary vengeance on the patrol at their,
next visit. Cross and Welch are both tried men, Cross
particularly, in looking after illegal fishermen. It is
an odds on bet that the deputies' repeating rifles will
be the first to open the argument should the river men
be inclined to lock horns with them. Both of them
are good shots and we opine the battle will be short
and one sided.

RECORDS BROKEN LAST YEAR.

iqoi Not So Prolific in New Records as the
Year Previous.

Americans are a people of extremes. Records have
been magnified in importance until, on the running
turf, they have become slightly ridiculous except in
specific cases, writes Will D. Pond. On the trotting
turf they are still paramount for the simple reason
that there the time is the handicap base. To-day an
expert trainer or owner looks at a broken record with
varying eyes and sentiments. If it is a three year old
or upward stallion or mare, especially the former, he
recognizes its value as a stud factor, especially when
condition and surroundings are normal and not especi-
ally favorable. Even here, however, he makes mental
reservations, for how many of our individual flyers
have transmitted their famous speed to their progenyj
except in the sprint division. Wnat mark has Salva-
tor's famous mile in 1 :35J made on the private slate of
his progeny? Thus the horseman only values a record
made by a mature horse over a distance. He does not
care about sprint records at all, and as for two year
old performances, well, look through the three year
olds of last year and see how many of the good per.
formers broke records in 1900, and how these contrast
with the stars of the division of 1901.

It is the public and the newspaper headline writer
who welcome new records, and the public only takes
an evanescent interest in them, almost legislating them
out of calculation when next the dope is referred to
for the purpose of calculations on a future race.

Looked at in the abstract, records are more due to
surroundings than anything else. Many would have
been made but for slight interference, forced wide
around a turn or crossed in the stretch, and these are
never noticed. One of the fastest miles last season was
run in 1:38; this means that to beat 1:38J the horse
covered twenty-six feet more in a given time. That is
a matter of twenty-five yards, or, on a two turn track,
the difference between on the rail at the turns or
making them in third position on the outside, half a
length apart. All things equal the winner makes 1:38,
the other horse, carried wide, runs twenty-six feet
further and is beaten that distance. Yet number one
makes "a record."

In the old days tracks were uninclosed lots, with
stumps sticking up in all directions, the footing was
precarious, the horses knew it and naturally did not
dare go to their greatest speed. Herein lies much of
the wonderful improvement of speed claimed since
those days. Today the tracks are safe, horses are con-
fident, and speed records are shown which thirty years
ago were impossible for horses of the same class.
Thirty years ago 70 horses stabled at the track made
a phenomenal meeting. Today TOO is nothing extra-
ordinary. Then horses ran a dozen or so races a year.
Today horses run fifty races or more, the stars running
ten to twenty, while the great Boston up to nine years
of age did not run more, and few of his day ran so
often.

Last year only sixty-nine new track and event
records were made in this country, and of these the
metropolitan tracks only account for twenty-two, the
Western and Southern tracks totaling forty-seven. In
1900 the total list was 112, of which the metropolitan
meetings handed in fifty-one. Yet last season the
general class of two year and three year olds was
acknowledged to be better. Why is this?

The answer shows up another phase of the record
worship. The great increase in metropolitan records
during the season of 1900 was due to the improved
track conditions. Brighton Beach and Empire City
set the pace with an almost "skinned track, " that is,
one with only a bare inch, or even less, of top dressing,
more on the style of the western track, and this, with
extra, banked turns, slaughtered records wholesale,
but — were the animals going any faster, was the aver-
age horse of a higher calibre? Scarcely! Then where
comes in the record kudos! In addition to this Morris
Park had a very thin dressing, and the most perfect
drainage system down the Eclipse Course of any in the
country, as instanced by its dryness when the main
track repeatedly is "heavy, " and all of this boosted
along the accumulation of record marks.

Right through the West track conditions have been
improved, and that is where the individual track
record has boomed. In 1901 New Orleans-made four-
teen additions to the old list at three and a half, six
and seven furlongs, seven and a aalf furlongs, a mile,
a mile and a quarter, a mile and seventy yards, a mile
and three-eighths, a mile and a half (two), a mile and
three-eighths, yet who will say that any of these
record breakers could live with the cracks at Wash-
ington Park or Coney Island? Yet they broke records!
And secured headlines! But who will remember them
except the owners.

Nine more fell at Tanforan, all from three furlongs
to six and a half furlongs, with the exception of the

five furlongs, which stands, 1:00 flat. Practically a
new course in 1900! Harlem breaks six, four, five, five
and a half furlongs, a mile and fifty yards and a mile
and a sixteenth, while Washington Park takes four
new marks — four and a half and five furlongs, a mile
and a quarter and a mile and a half. St Louis also
claims four, at four and a half, six and four furlongs
and at a mile, at the Fair Grounds. Hawthorne only
takes two for the season.

Coming East, Aqueduct Spring meeting only fur-
nished one, at six furlongs, the Lorillard east off, little
Petra II., in 1:13 4-5. At the Morris Park Spring
meeting Commando made a mile and three-eighths,
over the hill, in 2:21, May 23th, easily beating his
field, and, at the same weight, dropping Ildrim's
record of 2:214, made in 1900. At Brooklyn Spring
Commando again, simply galloping, June 1st, made a
mile in 1 :39 2-5.

Coney Island started the Suburban with Alcedo 2:05
3-5; Nasturtium covering five and a half furlongs in
1:01 1-5, Hatasoo getting away with the five furlong
notch in 0:58 2-5, and then Voter made the six furlongs
in 1:12 2-5, beating the 1895 record of Waltzer. June
21 Glennellie, six and a half furlongs in 1:19 1-5, cut
down Irish Reel's notch of 1895; Brigadier ran a mile
in 1:37 4-5 June 22, beating Voter's American record of
1900; Star Bright, June 28, ran a mile and a quarter in
2:06 1-5, beating Central Trust's good race in 1897.
These were the crack Coney Island record breakers.
What may be expected of them in the future? Voter,
Brigadier, Glennellie and Star Bright — will they race
again?

Saratoga established two new times with Decanter
at the mile and a quarter in 2:06, beating Laverock,
1899, and Belle of Lexington six furlongs, beating with
1:12 2-5 the previous time of Voter in 1899.

Brighton Beach had four uew notches: Leonora
Loring, a good Western filly, five and a half furlongs,
1:06 4-5; Herbert, a mile and a sixteenth in 1:45 1-5,
beating Standing's record; Sombrero, another good
Westerner, five furlongs in 0:59 2-5, beating Songster
in 1900, and Roehampton, a mile and an eighth in 1:51
1-5, Incidentally note the promising 2 year old Som-
brero cutting the notch of the crippled 6 year old St.
Blaise gelding, who is lucky to stand up to the termi-
nation of any race he starts in, and consequently
generally wins around 50 to 1. Yet he makes track
records.

At the Coney Island Fall meeting not a record went
by the board. At Brooklyn Fall came a bundle.
Ogden ran a mile and a sixteenth in 1:46, beating the
earlier record of All Green in June (who "never did
anything since"). King Hanover beat the Endurance
by Right record by covering five and a half furlongs
in 1:06 4-5 September 28th, and Endurance, with 112
pounds, made six furlongs in 1:08 3-5, beating the
record of King Pepper, a three year old, with 125
pounds, 1:09 2-5, the previous June. Then The
Rhymer went the mile and seventy yards in 1:44 4-5.

The Morris Park Fall meeting provided only four
new times: October 12th, when Roxane ran the
Withers Mile in 1:39 4-5; Hernando, a mile and a half
in 2:34 4-5; October 25th, Lady TJncas, six and a half
furlongs in 1:19|, and October 26tb, Gold Heels, two
miles and a quarter in 3:56.

These are the new marks; what do they practically
amount to? Each record breaker has been beaten,
with one exception, on merits by those which lost
when the records were made. How much figure does
the straight, uninterfered run cut when the average
record is made? Some were made down hill, where
other horses in the race notoriously cannot run. Some
were made down the Futurity Course by the horse
lying on the rail as large fields swung round that still
rather acute turn. Two certainly were made by a
lucky opening on the rail in the last half furlong, which
enabled the horse to win by three lengths, in one case
where but for the opening he would not have been
third. The time was clipped one-fifth of a second.
There is no need to mention the names in specific
cases; the horses hold the figure; let them have it.
An iconoclast Is never welcome, and, while the state-
ment would assuredly pull down, it builds nothing to
replace it.

Now glance at the English record time of 1900,
One mile, 1:33 1-5; mile and a quarter, 2:04 1-5; mile
and a half, 2:31 2-5; mile and three-quarters, 2:59 1-5;
mile and three furlongs, 2:19 2-5; six furlongs, 1:12 2-5;
five furlongs, 0:57 1-5. These nearly all on straighta-
way tracks, mostly grass. The mile and a half record
was by the American horse, King Courier, 126 pounds
Hurst Park, September 22, 19C0.

At the Salem Track.

Mr. W. O. Trine writes the Breeder and Sports-
man from the fairgrounds, near Salem, Oregon, under
date of January 12th, as follows:

"We are having a very nice winter for Oregon. The
track here is in good shape for winter work. Mr.
Shanon is jogging a young horse by Coeur d'Alene
that is a good prospect for the green classes, also a
young mare by Homdel and one by Gerome. I am
jogging Oregon Bull 2:17J by Roy Wilkes and Broad-
heart, a six year old by a son of Roy Wilkes that has
extra style, size and substance. I expect to make a
short season here with him and fit him for the races
I expect some good colt stake prospects to handle soon

"We expect to have a real 'Grand Circuit' in the
Northwest this season with good stakes and purses and
dates arranged so that horsemen may ship from point
to point without any delay or big expense. I also
hope and sincerely believe that our fair managers will
prohibit syndicate book making which has caused the
downfall of so many fairs and associations."

SADDLE NOTES.

"Indian Jimmy" Morgan, the jockey who has been
riding so successfully in Austria during the past two
years, has decided not to return to that country, but
will ride at the Chicago tracks next season. Morgan
headed the list of winning jockeys in Austria in 1900,
and last year stood third. Fred Taral being at the top
and Bob Adams, an Englishman, second.

The two year olds, Tom Mitchell, San Reno and
Winifred Weare, all from the Poverty Row Stock
Farm, owned by Oscar Duke, are now at the Oakland
track, also the six year old mare Nell Holton.

Instead of being run on May 1st, the Kentucky
Derby will not come off until Saturday, May 3d. The
change was brought about by the postponement of the
opening day. The meeting at LouisvUle will only last
nineteen days, instead of the twenty-one which have
been alloted to the club.

Buy one of those yearlings or two year olds at the
sale of thoroughbreds from the estate of J. B. Chase,
feed it well for a year and the chances are you will
have a race winner. There have been many bred on
the Sonoma Stock Farm. Send to W. H. Hord, 1732

Edward F. Fallon, formerly of HolUster, who dropped
dead last Saturday through running to catch the Bay
City for Oakland, owned and raced several good horses
in his day. The best known of the Fallon flyers were
Harriet by Flood, Birdcatcher by Spectre, Abbie F.
by Judge McKinstry, Lottie L. by Wildidle-Vixen,
Hathaway by Birdcatcher and Echo by Judge Mc-
Kinstry. Mr. Fallon bred horses for years on his
farm, which adjoined the Donnelly Dunn ranch, in
San Benito county, and was well known among the
racing men of ten and twenty years ago. Financial
misfoitune overtook him in the last few years, and in
his old age he was forced to return to his old trade,
that of painting.

It is not an easy task to prove beyond doubt the
offences of some trainers who for percentage and gain
fill the hor6es with "hop," but the officials of the La-
tonia Jockey Club have promised that there will be no
in and out running at the spring meeting from this
cause. In the estimate of expenses for the next meet-
ing at Latonia a liberal allowance has been made for
the employment of five shrewd men. "They will not
alone pay attention to the men who administer 'dope,'
but they will have their eyes on the entire scope of the
racing game, "said a member of the club recently.
"Weare going to have clean racing in this vicinity
from this time hence, and the men who make racing
may as well understand it at the outset."

Pacific Coast Field Trials.

The nineteenth annual field trials of the Pacific Coast
Field Trial Club was commenced with the Derby last
Monday morning on favorable ground in the vicinity
of Santa Maria, Santa Barbara. A late start was
made, the first brace being cast off at 9:15 a. m.
Weather conditions were unfavorable, the day being
a warm one with not a breath of air to cool off men
and dogs until about two o'clock in the afternoon.

dog, Cuba Jr., by Cuba of Kenwood-Florida, whelped
on March 13, 1900; breeder, Stockdale Kennels.

Second— H. L. Betten's white, black and tan English
Setter bitch, Rod's Lark, by Rodfield-Count's Diana,
whelped September 7, 1900; breeder, H. L. Betten.

Third— W. B. Coutts' liver and white Pointer dog,
Ned Funston, by Kriss Kringle-Plain Sister, whelped
September, 1900; breeder, W. B. Coutts.

The second day of the meetiDg, on Tuesday morn-
ing, commenced under more favorable weather condi-
tions. It being cooler than on the preceding day the
dogs stood the running better; the dry state of the
ground, however, made pointing as difficult as on the
previous day. Quail were found with every brace put
down, yet they were not too plentiful. Fifteen dogs
were started in the All-Age, Mt. View Kennels Fan Go
drawing the bye.

The first brace were cast off at 9 o'clock a. m. in a
large field. The dogs soon got tangled up in a dense
thicket and were taken out and put back of the first
ground. They were taken up at the end of 45 minutes.
The dogs in the first heat were Stockdale Kennels*
Setter bitch Peach Mark II. and W. W. Van Arsdale's
Setter dog Count's Mark.

Stockdale Kennels' Pointer Cuba Jr. and T. J. A.
Tiedemann's Setter bitch Northern Huntress were the
second pair put down.

W. W. Van Arsdale's English Setter bitch Shadow
and Stockdale Kennels' Pointer Bow's Son were put
down for the third heat at 10:55. These dogs were

The dry condition of the ground selected for the Derby

spoiled the scent, the dogs could not smell the quail swung off at first on open ground and then put back on

until they had almost run over them. Had there been

a recent fall of rain, the grounds selected would have
been almost as perfect a field trial district as can be
found in the State. Quail were just numerous enough
and the cover was just high and close enough to allow
the dogs to work well and enable the j udge and attend-
ant sportsmen a good opportunity to observe every
move.

The number of starters in the Derby was a great
disappointment to all concerned. Out of twenty-one
entries on which second forfeit was paid, there was but
seyen starters in the stake. Death and distemper re-
duced the ranks of the young dogs sadly and this was
responsible for the falling off in the number of starters.
W. W. Van Arsdale's Belle Buoy was not taken to the
grounds by his trainer, C. Babcock, when he located
there before the trials. Clinton E. Worden's Lady
Jane and Alberta both died. Judge A. Balmer, of
Cle-Elum, Washington, presided in the saddle. His
decisions throughout the trials were satisfactory to
club members, owners and handlers.

During the trials a representative attendance of
sportsmen took keen interest in the work. The per-
formances generally of the dogs and of several indi-
viduals in particular showed in the opinion of Judge
Balmer most exceptional natural abilities. Mr. Frank
Maskey is authority for the statement that the work
of the dogs in both the Derby and All-Age events was
as high class an exhibition as the most ardent enthu-
siast could desir *.

Contrary to the misleading headlines and reports
which appeared in the daily press here, and evidently
penned by writers unfamiliar with field trials, there
was happily not a large crowd or crush of sportsmen
and spectators. This condition prevailing during the
running of the dogs is always detrimental to good
results and is a positive annoyance and inconvenience
to those most interested.

On Tuesday a party composed of Henry J. Crocker,
Thomas H. Williams, Jr., John B. Coleman, James
Brownell, Clarence Waterhouse and Adam Andrews
left this city in a special car destined for the trial
ground.

The following is a brief account of the trials and
results. A fuller and more complete report by Sec-
retary Albert Betz will appear in next week's issue of
the Breeder and Sportsman. Mr. Betz's report
was received too late for publication in this number:
The first brace put down on Monday morning in the
sagebrush flats ten miles west of Santa Maria was
watched by about twenty-five sportsmen in carriages
and on horseback.

W. B. Coutts' Pointer bitch Kenwood Rose and
Clinton E. Worden's English Setter Wade Earl were
down until 9:55.

The second brace put down at 10:15, was W. B.
Coutts' Pointer, Ned Funston, and H. L. Bettens'
English Setter, Rods Lark. They were ordered up at
11:15. The weather during the heat had become very
warm.

Stockdale Kennels' Pointer, Cuba Jr., and H. L.
Bettens' Setter, Diana's Rodfield, were the third brace
put down during the warmest part of the day and
were ordered up, thoroughly exhausted at 11:40.

W. W. Van Arsdale's Setter, Oakley's Pride, had
drawn the bye and was then given a try-out. This
work ended the first series.

After luncheon new grounds were selected. A
pleasant, cooling breeze now made conditions more
favorable for running the second series.

The first pair were cast off at 1:30 p. m. Kenwood
Rose and Rod's Lark. They were taken up at 2:15.
This pair was followed by Ned Funston and Cuba Jr.,
at 2:30 and remained down until 2:55. Diana's Rod-
field and Oakley's Pride came together in che third
heat. They were down 45 minutes and then taken up.
Judge Balmer, after a short consultation with the
members of the club committee, about 4 p. m. an-
nounced that the running was concluded for the day,
and upon reaching the hotel at Santa Maria) it
developed that the Derby had been finished. Judge
£ Jmer announced the winners as follows:

^irst — Stockdale Kennels' liver and white Pointer

scattered birds.

Stockdale Kennels' Pointer Jacuba and W. W. Van
Arsdale's Setter Peach Blossom were the first brace
cast off after lunch at 12:30 o'clock.

Jos. Terry's Setter bitch Lady and Stockdale Ken-
nels' Pointer Cuba's Zep followed at 1:30 P. M.

A change was then made to ground four miles nearer
to town and two Pointers, Stockdale Kennels' Nellie
Wilson and Mt. View Kennels' Alec C. — both field trial
veterans — came together in a heat which lasted from
2:45 to 3:40 P. M.

The last pair put down for the day and the final
heat of the first series of the All-Age started at 3:45 in
a large field alongside of a creek bottom. They were
W. W. Van Arsdale's Pointer, Dr. Daniels, and Clinton
E. Worden's Pearl's Jingle. These two dogs are
credited with the most interesting race of the day.
This finished the first series. The bye dog, Fan Go,
having been tried out during the afternoon by the
club committee at the request of Judge Balmer.

J. M. Kilgariff and J. E. Terry arrived at Santa
Maria on Wednesday's train.

A noticeable absence among- the old guard was the
genial features of Charles N. Post of Sacramento, who
for the first time in the history of the club trials was
unavoidably kept away from the sport by important
professional work for the State in one of the northern
counties.

The second series of the All-Age was started at 9
o'clock Wednesday morniDg on new ground where
birds were more plentiful. The sportsmen attending
had the adv ntage of taking position upon a range of
hilly ground from whence they had an unobstructed
view of the dogs, handlers and judge in the valley
beneath. The day was an ideal one for field trial
work and the dogs showed up in better shape than at
any previous time of the trials.

The first brace down was Dr. Daniel with Cuba Jr.,
followed successively by Count's Mark with Northern
Huntress, Pearl's Jingle with Peach Blossom, Fan Go
with Lady After a short intermission the judge
ordered Peach Blossom and Northern Huntress cast
off for a rather long heat to determine which was the
better of the two.

Secretary Betz, after the dogs were taken up, an-
nounced the winners as follows:

First — W. W. Van Arsdale's lemon and white Pointer
dog Dr. Daniels by Plain Sam-Dolly Dee II.

Second — Clin ton E. Worden's liver and white Pointer
bitch Pearl's Jingle by Young Jingo-Pearl's Dot II.

Equal third — W. W. Van Arsdale's black, white and
tan English Setter bitch Peach Blossom by Count
Gladstone IV. -Peach Mark, and T. J. A. Tiedemann's
black, white and tan English Setter bitch Northern
Huntress by Joe Cuinmings-Mecca II.

The results of the two events gives a decidedly
Pointer coloring to the meeting, as this breed carried
away the principal honors.

It was decided not to start the Members' Stake this
year. The All-Age finished the meeting earlier than
was anticipated, which allowed a number of the sports-
men in attendance to enjoy some delightful quail
shooting.

Apropos of the Coast field trials we notice in the
Kemxd Gazette the announcement of the English Ken-
nel Club field trials to be run on April 9th and follow-
ing days, over theestate of Captain Prettyman, M. P.,
at Orwell Park, near Ipswich. The draw will take
place at the Great vVhite Horse Hotel, Ipswich, on the
evening of April 8th. The following prizes are offered
for the twenty-eighth field trial Derby Stakes for
Pointer and Setter puppies whelped in 1901: First
prize £70, second prize £25, third prize £15, fourth
prize £10; fifth and sixth prizes, £5 each, will also be
awarded if there are not less than twenty contestants.

Derby Stake entries closed on January 1, 1902. In
the All-Aged Stake the prizes are £50 to first, £25 to
second, £10 each to third and fourth respectively.
Further prizes for the "brace" stakes for Pointers and
Setters, dogs and bitches, are also offered.

Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every citv, town and
hamlet in the State.

In the kennel advertisements appears to-day the an-
nouncement of the Wandee Kennels.

Vibo, a cracking good Fox Terrier who has a grand
Eastern and local bench record, is at the head of the
stud list Vibo's record as a sire has been a consistent
one, his latest success is the win of his son Norfolk
Blue, who took first limit and winners at the Philadel-
phia show last month, beating some good ones in
Dusky Don II, Selden Stuyve and Norfolk Richmond.
The latter dog, it will be remembered, went over
everything at the last May show here.

Wandee Jester (Norfolk Billy before he was regis-
tered) has a good Eastern record and was a winner at
the Oakland show.

Mr. Chas. K. Harley, the owner of the kennels, in-
formed us during a visit to this office that he has
several fine brood bitches and some exceptionally good
puppies that he will sell — he has more terriers than, he
cares to accommodate.

Only a Few of Them Left.

The following communication, written on a postal
card, from a resident of this city, speaks for itself:

"Messrs. Breeder and Sportsman— Dear Sir:
Kindly let me know if you ever hear of anyone wishing
to exchange a Pointer for a ped. Setter."

We have never yet heard of any swap conditions
that might fill the above request and trust we never
will. As the writer is not explicit in his message we
are in the dark as to the reason for this inquiry,
although the inference is easy. Just what a ped.
Setter is we cannot imagine, and must again rely upon
speculation, taking it that the writer means a Setter
with a known pedigree. All dogs have pedigrees of
course, but many of them cannot be traced back one
generation. Another inference is that the writer has
a greater idea of the Pointer's value than that of the
Setter's. He does not say, however, which dog he U
the owner of and here speculation is rife again.

We do not think the dog owned by such an indiffer-
ent master would have a pleasant or an easy existence.

We would advise our correspondent to sell his dog
or give it away to a friend and purchase another one.
In that way he will get just what he wants and solve
what to us is a riddle. If this is too much trouble,
call upon the Poundmaster.

We will not speculate again, to the effect, that the
writer is like some people we have met, and desires to
procure a good dog for little or nothing. The ranks
of this class is sufficiently full now and we hope our
esteemed correspondent has not started off wrong.
Another thing, the writer states neither the accom-
plishments of his own dog nor the standard of canine
education inquired of the dog he evidently desires in
exchange. If he would like to try hisluck on Pointers
we know of one that waited on table and played the
piano evenings at a country hotel last year. This dog
had a disagreeable habit of dropping his set of false
teeth when playing the crescendo part of the Virginia
reel. The teeth rolling among the dancers, the music
would stop until the grinders were retrieved. Several
fastidious young ladies complained to the landlord,
the Pointer consequently lost his iob and became a
setter waiting for something to turn up. If a ped.
Setter is the kind of dog wanted we will refer our
correspondent to Dustproof Harry lor some pointers
on Countess Noble stock — for undoubtedly she was a
dog that could and did do anything and everything.

The address given on the postal, somewhere on 25th
street, leads us to infer, once more, that the backwoods
is still located in a portion of the Mission valley.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

At the last meeting of the Executive Committee of
the A. K. C, L. A. Klein was allowed thirty days to
secure further evidence in the matter of his appeal for
the rescinding of the cancellation of his wins at the
May show.

English leashmen are hard at work preparing their
best dogs for the great Waterloo cup event, which will
be run next month. The raising of the quarantine
against Irish hounds will cause a large number of Irish
cracks to be entered. The great bitch, Fearless Foot-
steps, twice winner of the classic event, will be entered
again, and her chances look bright for final honors.
The judge and slipper have as yet not been selected by
the Waterloo cup committee, but it is almost a cer-
tainty that Messrs. Brice and Wilkinson will officiate.

In a review of last year's coursing in England, the
London Fielda&ys: "The Bport of coursing is decidedly
on the 'up line' now in all parts of the country. Of
course, in the old days, when farmers were doing well,
there was hardly one of them who did not own a Grey-
hound, perhaps chiefly for private coursing, but
directly one dog had shown himself much superior to
his rivals he was entered in the nearest public meeting.
Then the greatest interest was shown in his progress —
if any — by all owners of dogs beaten by him, so that
they might know the standing of their own breed.
Now the keeping of Greyhounds has fallen into other
hands, and, although in many parts of the north we
see an owner with one dog only, it is much more often
the case that he owns some six to a dozen, and has his
own private trainer. If a less number they are most
likely sent to a public trainer, of whom there are many
in all parts of the country. The breeding of almost
every dog running at a public meeting is known at the
present time, and in another year or so the pedigree of
every Greyhound will be obtainable. The National
Coursing Club has done much for the sport all over
the three countries, and. with its admirable Stud Book,
published annually, makes every effort to. keep the
sport pure."

Warfare Waged on Wolves.

J, JIAYKE BALTIMORE.

Eastern Oregon is famous as a sheep rearing; region.
From time immemorial, the coyote has had a desided
weakness for mutton.

Throughout Eastern Oregon there are a great many
tracts characterized by "sand, alkali and sagebrush.'1
All such country is the favorite habitat of the coyote,
hie is indiginous to the region, an 1 his home brings
him in closo contact to immense flocks of sheep.

For many years the coyote has been a most persist-
ent and dreaded enemy of the sheep raiser. Every
arm has been raised against this sly, skulking prowler
of field, plain and fell. He has been hunted with dogsi
shot on sight, trapped and poisoned. The animal not
only holds its own against such odds, but, it is claimed,
is actually slowly on the Increase.

Little wonder then that the various counties of the
great "Inland Empire" (for such Eastern Oregon is
called), should offer a bounty of $2 forevery scalp pro-
duced of a coyote. This price set upon his head,
makes the animal still more sought after.

Winter, spring, summer and fall, the merry chase
goes on after his tawny scalp. A great many are cap-
tured, too. In some of the counties as high as 100
scalps are taken in a month. Some persons do nothing
else but hunt the coyote, and they find it quite remun-
erative work.

Great care is taken by the county authorities to
prevent imposition in the matter of scalps. Every
scalp must include both ears of the animal. There
must be no "manufactured" scalps. There is an in-
spector in each county who must pass upon the scalps.

Just across the eastern boundary line of Oregon lies
Idaho. Now, the latter State offers no bounty for
coyote scalps. Idaho is also a favorite abode for the
animal. However, a hunter cannot receive a bounty
on a scalp captured across the line. Oregon will not
pay for the scalp of an Idaho wolf — that is, if the
authorities know it.

But the incentive is strong, and, sometimes, the
scalp takers do some steep swearing when the question
is raised: "Where did you kill this wolf?"

If a hunter can inveigle a coyote across the line and
"raise his hair," that is perfectly legitimate.

Everyone knows how cunning and wary a coyote is.
But an invisible, impalpable boundary is too much for
even the cautious instinct of a wolf. So, it happens
that in the course of the seasons a great many coyotes
cross to and fro over the line. In a great many in-
stances, it proves a veritable "dead line" to the wolf.
Though a native of Idaho, he is slain on "webfoot"
(nickname fo^ Oregon) soil, and the lucky hunter gets
his scalp.

Boy hunters often do a "land office ' business in col-
lecting scalps. Very recently, a lad in one of the sage
brush counties made a "big killing."

While out hunting early one morning, he was fortu-
nate enough to shoot two female coyotes. Both were
killed near the foot of some rocks. There was a large
hole leading under the ledge, and the boy's dog began
to scratch and whine at the opening.

A spade and hoe were speedily procured and the lad
hunter fell to work with a will. The digging was hard,
but he persevered, and in the course of a few hours his
labors were abundantly rewarded.

Finally he reached the bottom of the wolf den.
There he found two comfortable nests in which were
ensconced sixteen little coyotes. These the boy and
his dog quickly killed. Thus he captured eighteen
scalps in less than half a day and made $36; for the in-
spector allowed him a full bounty on all the little
whelps.

It is asserted that the wolves are not decreasing
much, despite the efforts made to exterminate them.
Were these efforts not so persistently made, the whole
country would be soon overrun and there would be
great havoc wrought among the vast flocks through-
out the inland empire.

The origin of the Fox Terrier is not certainly known,
but they have been bred pure in the royal kennels of
England for over 1G0 years. They are used for bring-
ing all kinds of game out of the ground, and as com-
panions for ladies and gentlemen are the aristocratic
dog of the world to-day. Owners soon found them to
be not only easily taught, but very imitative, and have
developed into great farm dogs, as well as hunters and
companions. As guard dogs they have no superior —
always on the alert, ready to find the cause of the
slightest noise. They are not generally vicious to peo-
ple, but it is safest for any stranger at first to get per-
mission before he bothers either the person or property
of the master. As hunters they naturally take to all
animals that burrow in the ground. They need no
training for that, but, of course, improve with prac-
tice. They are easily taught to tree all animals that
climb. They are dead game and will fight to death or
victory anything they consider prey. They have any
amount of endurance, seldom ever showing signs of
being tired. Their scent is good. They are not only
pretty dogs, but there are none cleaner. They are
excellent companions for children, as they will watch
over them and inspire the child with their own deter-
mination, obedience, humbleness and affection.

On the Continent it is customary with exhibitors at
bench shows to dye or stain their dogs' coats to make
them appear of a richer color. This practice, accord-
ing to a Belgian witness in a matter before the English
courts, is countenanced by judges. The protest, it
was claimed, should come from the owner of the dog
who won second honors.

Bulldogs in England in 1901.

Many of the best Bulldogs England has produced
for years past are now or were in the possession of
American fanciers. The fancy for the breed has taken
on rapid strides in the United States within a few
years. The most prominent Bulldog kennels in
America are the Vancroft and the Deal kennels. A host
of other breeders, but on a smaller scale, tend to show
the growth of the Bulldog fancy. The first lot of the
Bulldog Kennel Book issued by the English Bulldog
Club, was sold out in a week by Field and Fancy in
New York. A continued demand was the occasion for
a cable message for another supply.

The following article by Mr. H. St. John Cooper of
Brighton, England, appeared in a recent number o*
the Dog Fancier and contains some interesting infor-
mation concerning the breed in England today:

The year now drawing to its end has not proved a
memorable one from the Bulldog enthusiasts' point of
view. There have been practically no surprises unless
the appearance at Cruft's Show in February, of that
marvelous headed bitch, La Roche, be the exception.
This bitch, whose body, it must be at once confessed,
is not equal in quality to her wonderful head proper-
ties, is a north country bred one, and made her first
appearance in London, at Cruft's, where Mr. Todd,
her breeder, but not her owner of course, gave her her
first and well-deserved championship, since when she
has gone on gathering in the prizes, for she is a bitch
that cannot be denied, though enemies she has among
the cognoscenti who would fain put her down and yet
for their reputations' sake dare not.

Chinosol — or to give him his full title and name,
Champion Woodcote Chinosol, the bright particular
star of last year, ha3 amply fulfilled all the promises of
his youth and stands today the unquestioned best that
England can show. To lovers of the true type, the
recent successes of Mrs. Evans' well known old Ivel
Doctor have been very gratifying. The all white dog
has hitherto not met with the best of fortune, indeed
his merits have been far in excess of his luck, for he is
all over a Bulldog, sour-faced as Bulldogs should be
and a shining example which many English breeders,
who are apparently attempting to breed out all true
Bulldog expression and characteristics, would do well
to profit by.

There is a very regrettalbe and growing tendency
in England to produce soft, puggy-faced Bulldogs,
whose skulls are round instead of flat, who boast no
distance from ear to eye, and whose eyes are set far
too close together. A few years ago, these soft-faced
specimens were the exception, now unfortunately, they
seem to be growing the rule, and so long as certain
judges persist in favoring them, so long will breeders
attempt to produce them. If we compare the head of
Boomerang, in my opinion the best headed of all
mondern dogs, with the heads of some of our present
day "puggiosities" we can find absolutely nothing in
common. The Boomerang type of head — the true
type, was brim full of expression, it was at once sug-
gestive of honesty, alertness, fearlessness and yet
withal there was that sourness of look, that made the
dog repulsive and forbidding even, to the uneducated
eye, but which to the fancier, was an added charm and
fascination. Another fault and a serious one, is the
prevalence of heavy ears. True they are of the right
shape, but the ear of the Bulldog should be small and
thin, whereas nowadays, to see a really good eared
dog on the bench is the exception and not the rule.
Fortunately, however, certain large breeders are taking
the ear question up in earnest and a marked improve-
ment in this direction maybe confidently looked for
in the near future.

Despite the fact that very many of our best have
left these shores for yours, there seems ample promise
that next year we shall be as rich in really high class
Bulldogs as ever we were. The big exodus of last year
has, no doubt, something to do with the rather low
quality of this year's exhibit as a whole, but on every
side I hear tidings of puppies of exceptional promise,
many of them the offspring of some of those dogs who
crossed the pond last yeai*.

Among others who have achieved considerable suc-
cess this year, on the bench, are the Bull bitches, Fel-
ton Chance It, Mrs. Marley's light weight, who has

now won her right to the prefix champion, Thackeray
Soda, another bitch who loses in body while she wins
in head. Champion Prince Albert, Katerpult's famous
little son, who has garnered up a few more firsts and
championships to add to his long list. Mrs. Crocker's
bitch, Buddug, and Mrs. Clarke's Mersham Billy, litter
brother to Mersham Jock, who was claimed by Amer-
ica early in last year. Among other dogs whose stud
services have been in greatest demand are W. J. Pegg's
Champion Woodcote Chinosol by Bapton Monarch,
who is sire also of Arthur Vowles' Wylie Monarch (a
most prolific stock getter), and Carthusian Cerberus;
Mr. Pegg's Woodcote Galtee Moro, Mrs. Clarke's Mer-
sham Charmer, Mrs. Evans' Ivel Doctor, and some
lesser lights, whose" principal attraction is a low stud
fee.

Death, fortunately, has not been very busy among
the dogs, but I regret to hear that one old dog, who
m his time has done good service to the breed, has
just passed away at a ripe old age. I allude to Mr.
Hartley's Highwayman, who did a bit of winning in
his time, but who will be remembered principally as
the sire of many winning dogs and bitches. [Chinosol
has also gone the final way of all canines. — Ed.]

It is true that America has claimed most of our best
dogs during the past few years, but it is also a fact
that the "stock" still remains in the old country, and
from that stock, English breeders confidently expect
to produce as good dogs in the future as they have in
the past.

KENNEL HYGIENE.

It is believed that a dog can digest one-fifth of his
own body weight at one meal.

It requires some six to twelve hours for the food
taken at a single meal to become digested in the
stoaiach. Bones often take many hours to entirely
disappear.

Healthy, strong dogs have been known to live for
three months without a particle of nourishment save
water before death ensued. Such dogs can exist a
month under similar conditions and then stand a good
chance of recuperating if food be restored to them.
A complete circulation of the blood in the dog is estab-
lished in about seventeen seconds. The blood will,
therefore, pass through the entire system nearly four
times in one minute.

The pulse of the dog, easily felt on the internal
aspect of the thigh close up to the groin, should be
about 90 to 100 in a healthy, full-grown animal.

The respiratory movements in health are about
fifteen to twenty.

The normal temperature of the dog is from 101
degrees F. to 102 degrees F. This temperature, which
is about 3 degrees higher than normal temperature in
man, should not be mistaken for fever.

People who own dogs don't, as a rule, take much
note of this particular point as long as health is pre-
sent, but as soon as sickness manifests itself, be the
temperature high or not, it is often at once investigated
and the conclusion arrived at that fever is present,
because the body heat is perceived to be higher than
our own.

To cause a copious secretion of rich, nourishing milk
in a bitch with a laige family a diet should contain
considerable amount of shell-fish or meat.

The dog has important sweat glands in the feet.

Too many baths or too much brushing is often the
cause of a dog's coat coming off.

Linseed oil (boiled) is a good thing to give in a dog's
food to help him cast his coat.

Pine shavings make excellent bedding, particularly
for a dog troubled by fleas. A moderate quantity of
coal oil sprinkled upon the shavings is a bad thing for

Crude oil sprayed over the ground or around the
kennels is about as good a thing to drive away fleas as
one would wish.

Dog biscuits, hound meal and scraps from the table,
with a little raw, lean meat occasionally, is a good
menu for Terriers, or any dog for that matter.

County Game Laws in Force.

The present State Game and Fish Laws are in force
and unchanged in the following counties:

Alameda.

Monterey,

Solano,

Colusa,

Santa Cruz,

San Joaquin,

Contra Costa,

San Benito,

Sonoma.

Merced.

The following oounties have adopted ordinances in
regard to fish and game, and which are now in force
as follows:

Fresno— Quail, Nov. 1 to Feb. I.

Marin— Male deer, Aug. 1 to Sept. 15. Quail, Oct. 15 to Jan. 15.
Shooting on county roads or in cemeteries prohibited. The use of
"pump" gun, repeating shotgun or anj kind of magazine shotgun
for hunting in the county is prohibited.

Monterey — Sea gulls and blue cranes, killing of prohibited. Use
of guns of larger caliber than 10-gauge prohibited.

Santa Clara— Quail, Oct. 8 to Feb. I.

San Mateo-Quail, Nor. 1 to Dec. I. Rail, Oct. 15 to Not. 15
Shooting from boats at high tide prohibited.

Near Chico are a number of wooded lakes situated
on the Parrott ranch. This section, according to G.
A. Barham, is the home of thousands of mallard
ducks and the country adjacent to the water is a splen-
did quail and snipe ground.

Steelhead Fishing.

Reports from Russian river are of much import to
the stream anglers. The bar is still open and the river
in splendid shape. It will now take some amount of
rainfall to stop the fishing in tide water. Mr. Gibson
caught seven fine fish last Saturday, eleven and three
respectively on the days following. On Sunday, H.
Battu caught two, Captain Watson four and Jack
Sammi three. Gibson's fish were taken in the big
pool below the railroad brid ge. Two of his fish weighed
over twenty pounds each, one of them was a beautiful
roe fish, brilliant in coloring, steelblue back and silver
white belly and all the characteristic color and mark-
ings of a coast steelhead in prime condition. These
fish take the spoon and roe principally, many of those
caught put up a good fight.

The fact that a number of large fish caught recently
in Russian river were sluggish as dishrags and, con-
trary to the general traditions of the river gave the
fishermen but little battle, has been the source of much
comment among the cognoscenti. These conditions
were at first deemed local, but this theory is untenable
as similar reports come from other localities.

Two weeks ago Samuel A. Heller and Clarence Ash-
land fished for twelve days at the mouth of the Gual-
lalla. They caught 1200 pounds of steelhead as well
as a number of salmon in that time. The trout ranged
from ten to seventeen pounds in weight and among
the fish taken a large number of them gave no more
combat when hooked on a Heller double spoon than so
many old boots. This new phase of steelhead angling,
we presume, will, for the present at least, fill another
chapter in a large volume entitled "What Is Not
Known About Fish."

One day Heller landed ten fish making a total weight
of 115 pounds. Several times during their sojourn at
Guallalla, the fishermen found it necessary to dig a
trench through the sandspit at the mouth of the
river. The current and waves would soon enlarge the
opening so that big fish could come in from the ocean
and run up stream.

Striped Bass Angling.

Despite the many theories advanced by some of the
salt water wiseacres there is yet considerable to be
learned concerning the ways and habits of the striped
bass. Various theories have been advocated as to why
the bass are Dot caught at present in the bay waters.
Notwithstanding the efforts of a number of skilled
anglers, many recent trips to former favorite fishing
grounds about the bay have resulted fruitlessly.

A party of fishermen composed of Fred H. Bushnell,
A. M. Cumming, Harry B. Hosmer, W. F. Bogart, R.
W. McFarland, Chas. Briedenstein, James Lynch and
a friend fished in the waters of San Antonio and Black
John sloughs on Sunday last. Briedenstein and L nch
both cangbt small fish, not over three or four pounds
in weight. The others trolled the Black John unavail-
ingly. Cumming and Bushnell remained on the
ground, stopping over night at the Petaluma Gun
Club house. Ou Monday they trolled San Antonio
creek and caught eleven tish aggregating sixty pounds
in weight, The largest fish scaled ten pounds. On
this occasion a pet theory of many bass fishermen was
knocked into a cocked but. When the tide was just
right for an hour's fishing before and after low water
they did not get a strike. Along about high tide they
got'into the fish and commenced to take them. They
also had a number of strikes but failed to connect. At
high water the anglers changed light sinkers for
heavier ones, so that the Wilson spoons could get
almost on the bottom.

Near the Miramonte Gun Club house, where the
offal from ducks is thrown into a shallow slough, a ten
pound bass was seen left in a shallow pond at low tide.

Petaluma creek and- its tributaries are destined
apparently to become famous striped bass fishing
grounds.

Striped Bass Club.

The annual banquet of the Striped Bass Club will
take place on next Tuesday evening, January 21st.
After the business meeting of the club a distribution
of prizes and medals to various salt water anglers will
take place.

The roll of membership of this club of jolly good
fellows is full and quite a number of other good fellows
are on the waiting list.

The Coast depot of the U. M. C. Co., 425 Market
street, is tastefully draped in mourning in memory of
the president of the company. The following card,
which is an eloquent tribute to a gentleman who evi-
dently had the love and confidence of his business con-
freres and employes, has been issued to the many
friends of the corporation and its managers on the
Pacific Coast:

"It is with deep regret we announce the
death of our honored President,

MR. MARCELLUS HARTLEY,
which occurred in New York, J anuary 8th. 1802.
The death of Mr. Hartley closes a career
of service of unusual and rare value, during
which the business in all its branches felt
ti b influence of his strong and high-minded
charaoter.

Hunting Notes.

Duck hunting in almost every district within easy
reach of San Francisco has been excellent for the past
week. The continuous dry weather has kept thousands
of birds in the marshes of the bay counties, where
they not only find plenty of natural feed, but have
recourse to hundreds of baited ponds.

On the Suisun, Sonoma and Petaluma marshes, teal
have been more numerous than any other variety,
although there is found a fair sprinkling of canvas-
back, mallard and sprigtail.

Many of the ducks shot in the sloughs tributary to
San Pablo and San Francisco bays are now rather fishy
in flavor. An easy way to determine whether a bird,
killed adjacent to or on tide waters, is of good flavor,
is to simply open its mouth.

If one's nostrils are assailed by the odor of fish
or clams, drop the bird — or take it home and give
it to some fellow who has no claims upon you but
has been persistently importuning for ducks ever since
the season opened. If he doesn't know the difference,
he feels elated and you'll have him on your staff next
season. If he is experienced, he cannot do else than
consider the matter as a hint that you are not a pur-
veyor of game to everybody.

Field Trial Club Election.

In two weeks more the season on feathered game will
close on ducks, quail, partridge, grouse, sage hen, rail,
curlew, ibis and plover. English snipe, to the lasting
shame of the game law tinkers who were responsible
for the many juggling features of the present game
law, can be shot at any time of the year.

These dainty birds breed in this State in many
places. The Suisun marshes are a breeding ground
for many of the birds. In the Klamath lake regions,
the Big Meadows swamp and the Sierra valley the
birds also resort for breeding. The fact that Sacra-
mento sportsmen get most of their snipe shooting in
March and April has been claimed by many sportsmen
as one of the principal reasons why there was no other
protective provision in the present game statute than
that of a limit on tho day's bag, twenty-five birds.

In this respect we have heard the statement, an
abortive one at that, that the representative from the
Truckee region in the last Legislature was responsible
for the omission of legislation for the better protection
of English snipe.

The past cold weather has not been favorable for
snipe snooting, although some few bags have been
shot. Otto Feudner and James Maynard, among
others, have had some excellent snipe shooting on the
Suisun marsh. Different members of the Country
Club also get good bags on the Marin county snipe
patches.

Goose shooting will be in full swing as soon as the
close season on other game prevails. Geese are now
very plentiful on the Solano plains. Several varieties
of these birds are found in that district. Collectively
they gather on that feeding ground in countless
thousands. In the latter part of March and in April
when the birds gather, ready for the annual northern
migration they can be seen on the Colusa and Solano
plains in millions. If a hunter can get in between two
big bunches of geese when they are in flight he can
get shooting until he is satiated with it. The first
geese to arrive here get in generally late in August.
After about April 25th following, the only geese that
can be found in the sections frequented by them are
the cripples who could not make the northern trip.

Two varieties of the white goose frequent this state,
the large ones and the smaller or barnacle goose.
They are said to be good table birds; a favorite way
of preparing them is to cut off the breasts and skin
them, they are served broiled' or stewed. In the
spring these birds are not very good eating.

The gray or mottled goose is our earliest visitor and
the last to leave in the spring. The females of this
variety have a breast of dirty gray color, the mottling
which distinguishes the ganders is not conspicuous on
the females.

The Canada or honker goose is our largest bird of
the species. This variety starts off north early in the
spring. The meat is somewhat dry and coarse, getting
rank and fishy by spring time.

The larger brant are similar in markings to the
honker. They are an esteemed table bird.

The smaller brant, or "cling-cling, " as this goose is
called by hunters, is of good and palatable flavor and
is particularly notable by reason of its incessant cack-
ling and ability to keep up a continuous noise and
"talk" that once heard is not soon forgotten.

These birds are nearly all easily stooled and work
well to a good caller. The large brant, however, are
the most difficult for the caller to persuade in coming
close enough for a shot. In foggy weather the white
geese, in fact, all of them fly very low to the ground
and are then easy to work. The white geese are the
easiest birds to decoy.

In goose shooting, the hunter will generally dig a
pit on a known line of flight of the geese. Staked out
on the ground nearby are his decoys; sometimes live
birds are used and often dead geese are placed out and
propped up so as to look like a flock of feeding birds.
For night shooting, the hunter places newspaper,
rolled or crumpled up, so that in the dark light the
white objects are taken by the flying birds for their
congeners.

This season it was noticeable that the white geese
arrived here much sooner than usual, arriving very
early in September.

Quail shooting has been but fair in many localities.
Hunters outlast Sunday fouDd that the ground was so
dry that it was difficult for the dogs to work. Mayor
Johnson, of Monterey, is authority for the statement
that this season there has been "quail by the million"
in that county. Quail shooting of the very best has
been indulged in by sportsmen who went but a short
distance away from Monterey town.

At the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Field
Trials Club, held at Santa Maria on Thursday night,
the following officers were elected to serve for the
ensuing year: President, Joseph E. Terry, of Sacra-
mento; First Vice-President, W. W. Van Arsdale,
of San Francisco; Second Vice-President, Henry W.
Keller, of Santa Monica; Seeretrry-Treasurer, Albert
Betz, of San Francisco; Executive Committee — J. H.
Schumacher, C. N. Post, W. S. Tevis, C. E. Worden,
T. J. A. Tiedemann. It was decided to hold the next
annual trials during the week beginning the second
Monday in January, 1903, on grounds to be selected
by the Executive Committee later on. During the
meeting the subject of permanent grounds came up
for much discussion, and the Executive Committee
was especially advised to try and procure such a pre-
serve before the next trials. F. J. Stone, G. H. Ander-
son and R. L. Jones were elected members of the club.
A special vote of thanks was tendered to Judge John
A.Balmer for his conscientious efforts and fair de-
cisions in the trials just ended. No members' stake
took place on Thursday, as the owners did not care to
tax their dogs with a two hours' heat, which would
have been necessary in that event. Instead, almost
all of the sportsmen went hunting and fine bags of
quail were the order of the day, as the country there
is teeming with those game birds.

Dangerous Shooting.

The reckless use of rifles by many individuals has
become late'y a source of much complaint on the part
of sportsmen who have been imperiled by the ubiquit-
ous jackass who has no better sense than to shoot,
with a high power or long range rifle, at any and all
available targets in an open country, or on a marsh
where duck hunters are located out of sight in blinds.
A case in point happened near Sear's Point last Sun-
day. One of the Honker Club members was in his
blind on a slough and had his decoys placed out before
him in the water. Several shots struck near him,
from what direction or by whom fired he was not able
to ascertain. Upon picking up his decoys he found
one of them perforated from end to end. The shooter
had taken the decoys for live ducks and came near
ending a sportsman's life through his asinine careless-
ness.

At the Traps.

The regular season will probably be opened again
this year by the California Wing Club with a live bird
shoot on or about the first Sunday in March.

Ere many weeks have passed the blue rock season
will be on again in full swing. Already the different
clubs are taking active interest in preparation for the
coming season.

Rumor hath it that a shoot will be arranged at the
Ingleside grounds for Saturday and Sunday, February
21st and 22d. Weather permitting, the meeting should
be a drawing card.

The Ingleside trap shooting and live bird grounds
will be open this season as usual and every inducement
the Board of Managers can consistently make for the
convenience and accommodation of shooters will be
conceded.

Jack Fanning kindly remembered us this week. We
were agreeably surprised by the receipt, through the
mail, of a handsomely illustrated calendar issued by
an Eastern powder company with which he has been
connected for severl years past.

A consolidation of several gun clubs is under serious
consideration by many shooters who have come to the
conclusion that we have too many local organizations.
This is the reason for too many conflicting interests.
By coming together it is urged that expenses can be
cut down and a more satisfactory program for the
season can be carried out.

Meetings of the Olympic, Lincoln, San Francisco
and Empire Gun Clubs will be held very soon and
action taken in regard to the trap season of 1902.

Indications point to an active and enthusiastic inter-
est in trap shooting this year by the Empire Gun
Club. The club has a membership of sixty shooters.
Besides the regular monthly shoots on the Alameda
grounds last year the club pulled off several big special
events that brought out the attendance of a large
crowd of shooters.

"I see that Armand De Courtieux was up at the
club preserve shooting the other day, " said Col. Ole
Hossmer to Johnny Coleman one day this week.

"Yes?" answered Coleman, "Did he bag anything?"

"Bagged a pair of duck."

"You don't tell me! Where'd he bag 'em?"

"At the knee," said the Colonel, "They were duck
pants."

Jackson's Napa Soda untangles the feet.

H. T. Dykman of New York, who now owns Coney
2:02, believes the unsexed son of McKinney will again
lower his record this year. During the past two years
Coney's hind feet have been in bad shape, but Mr
Dykman has them in good condition now and believes
he can keep them so. The trouble, he believes, has
been due to the fact that the extremely light shoes
worn by Coney failed to give sufficient protection to
the foot.

Sheep Statistics.

The experts whol^e out sheep statis-
tics have evolved the following : The flock
of the United SUtee.exdus.veoUa-b

under one year old, conB.st of 41,920,900
sheep. The wool clip of 1901 comprises
265.502,328 pounds, exclusive of thepuHed
wool, as against 259,972,815 pounds in 1900,
• „ „f oi^ T,er cent The average

an increase of 2}-, per cem. *
weight of fleeces is this year 6.33 pound,,
as compared with 6.46 pounds in 1900 and
is the lowest average weight since 1891.
There is a redaction in the average shrink-
age of fleeces from 61 1 per cent, in 1900
to 60 6 percent, in 1901. In the States
from which complete census returns have
been received, the proportion of lambs last
year to the ewes was about 66 per cent.
This fact taken in connection with the
relatively small increase in the total
flocks 1,753,082 or less than 4>< percent,
makes it clear that the amount of pulled
wool produced must be large and 37,000,
000 pounds is fixed as the probable quan-
tity of pulled wool for a year, a total of
about 8 000.0 JO pounds more than the
estimates of last year. The total produc-
tion of fleece and pulled wools in the
grease is estimated at 303,502,328 pounds
as against 2S8,636,621 pounds last year.
The scoured product this year is estimated
at 126,814,690 pounds, against 118,226,120
pounds last year. The total scoured value
of the clip is estimated at $51 164 709.

Some of San Joaquin county's potato
growers have made fortunes this year and
others have cleared up snug sums of
money. Says the Stockton Mail: "O.Y.
Woodward and H. Voorman have made
between $75,000 and $100,000 eacb. Among
those who have cleared thousands are the
Ennis-Brown Company, which farmed
part of the Sargent tract ; Wood, Curtis
& Co. who had in a large acreage on Tyler
Island; Frank Draper and Hickson &
Long on the Bradford tract; O. E. Ander.
s in, Jake Sargent, Ralph Lane and George
Thompson. A number of Chinese and
Japanese also made large sums. "Potato
Jim," who rents land six or seven miles
northwest, of Stockton, is thought to have
cleared between $30,000 and $40,000.
George Sliima, a Japanese who has been
farming ill Ihis county for years, will
make about $40 000 after Etanding a loss
of $12,000 caused by potatoes on Staten
Island being flooded."

In straining milk use nothing but double
cheese cloih fastened over the top of the
cans by cloth pins or by a rubber or steel
band. The latter would be best because
then the lid may be put on the can every
time a pail has been emptied into it.
Have a sufficient number so as to be able
always to have clean ones ready for use,
which have been rinsed with cold water
immediately after using and then washed
with warm water and soap, scalded or
rather boiled and sun-dried. Keep
strained cloths where they are free from
exposure to dust.

An EaBtern Poland-China breeder says :
"As corn is high this season I have been
trying wheat as a hog feed. My first plan
was to feed it dry, but they ate it without
chewing and it failed to digest. Then I
tried it soaked and fed but this did not
help matters much. Finally I ground it
and made it into a thick slop. From this
method of feeding my hogs have done un-
usually well and I have realized much
more than the market price for my
wheat."

A notable sale of live stock was made at
Red Bluff last month, when twenty one,
two and three year old bulls were pur-
chased for a large stock ranch in Shasta
valley by F. E. Wadsworth. The bulls
brought $3000, or $150 each An agent of
Mr. Wadsworth has purchased 5000 steers
paying $50 a head or $250,000 for the lot.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright'*. Disease.
Posted clubmen understand this so well
that many have tests made every few
months. Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and D!abeies are increas-
ing at a fearful rate The last census re-
ports show that since 1S9Q the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132 000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
koowing thisone fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively

There is nothing like Asthmalene. It brings

The Rev. C. F. Wells, of Villa Ridge, HL, says: " Your
trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I can-
not tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it.
j I was a slave, chained with putrid sore throat and asthma for
, ten years. I despaired of ever being cured. I 6aw your ad-
vertisement for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting dis-
j ease, asthma, and thought you had overspoken yourselves,
but resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment the trial
I | acted like a charm. Send me a full-size bottle "

Asthmalene, similar to the one" that cured Mr. Wells. We'll
send it by mail POSTPAID, ABSOLUTELY FREE OF

'■It is an unpretending treatise
frve from technicalities, and well
adapted for the use of farmers and
stock raisers. The object of Dr.
Chawner was to make a popular and
rehaute aauubook in that department of veterinary science which
treats of the horse and his diseases and in this object he has
succeeded and supplied a practical want. There is no extraneous
matter. Information is imparted with commendable brevity and
in language plain and simple enough to be understood by all. The
fallacies of the old school are rejected, and the treatment pre-
scribed is that of modern practitioners."— Turf, Field and Farm.

The U. M. C. Co., U. S. A., have supplied me with large quantities of
gallery ammunition loaded with both round and semi-round bullets.

These have a small charge of black powder, and I should prefer this
ammunition for self-defense as well as for competition up to 20 yards, as I
find it the most accurate for exhibition shooting.

I think the U. M. C. gives slightly less recoil and fewer "unaccount-
ables" than the English equivalent.

They also load these cartridges with smokeless powder, which I have used and
with which I have made my bests on record in the rapid fire competition.

Occident Stake of 1904.

Secretary Geo. Jackson, of the State Agricultural
Society, sends us the following list of the original
entries in the Occident Stake of 1904. This stake
closed January 2d with 84 entries, thirteen less than
the stake of 1903, but this is accounted for by the fact
that Palo Alto Stock Farm and others that have here-
tofore been liberal patrons of the stake are retiring
from breeding. The largest list of entries to the stake
of 1904 was received from the well known Santa Rosa
Stock Farm, which has twelve highly bred youngsters

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — Dear Sir: Be-
low is a list of mares Palo Alto Stock Farm has booked
to that great young sire Nutwood Wilkes 2:164:

1. Helena 2:11}, dam of Wild Nutling (p) 2:11}.

2. Expressive (3) 2:12J, the greatest three year old
ever trotted.

Yours truly, F. W. COVEY.

[Superintendent Covey is one of these progressive
breeders who is always aiming to produce the best and
is contented with nothing else. This booking of
eleven of the choicest matrons on the celebrated farm
to Mr. Martin Carter's great young horse, sire of the
champion John A. McKerron 2:06| to wagon, and
many others, is a master stroke. All these mares will
be sent to the Fasig-Tipton Old Glory sale at New
York next winter with all the other horses on the
farm at that time to be placed under the hammer.
T he fact that they will be w ith foal to Nutwood Wilkes
will add greatly to their value and attract many bid-
ders who will want the Wilkes-Electioneer cross
through such fashionable producing lines as these.
This is a grand lot of mares to be sent to the court of
any stallion, and the selection of Nutwood Wilkes by
such a progressive breeder as Superintendent Covey is
indeed a compliment, though fully deserved by the
performances of this son of Guy Wilkes on the track
and in the stud.— Ed. B. &. S.]

A Proposed Racing Ordinance.

The following ordinance has been introduced in the
Board of Supervisors by member John A. Lynch.
From the best information we can get, there is little
chance of this ordinance becoming a law:

Be it ordained by the people of the city and county
of San Francisco:

Section 1. Ordinance No. 66, approved May 14,
1900, is hereby amended to read as follows:

Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person or
corporation owning, leasing or controlling any race
track, to hold or conduct, or permit or suffer to be
held or conducted, any horse race meetings, horse
races or contests between horses, within the city and
county of San Francisco, for any longer time or num-
ber of days than the aggregate period of sixty (60)
days in any one calendar year.

Sec. 2. It shall be unlawful for any person or cor-
poration in the city and county of San Francisco to
sell or buy pools, or make books, or make any bet or
wager in any system of registering bets or wagere
wherein money, or other representative of value, or
other articles of value are staked or pledged on races
or other contests between horses except within the
inclosure of a race track, and only upon horse races
held within said inclosure and conducted within the
limited period of sixty (60) days in any one calendar
year, prescribed by section 1 hereof.

Sec. 3. No person, otherwise competent as a witness,
is disqualified from testifying as such concerning the
offenses in this ordinance defined, on the ground that
such testimony may criminate such witness under the
provisions of this ordinance, but no prosecution can
afterward be had against such witness for any offense
defined in this ordinance concerning which he testified.

Sec. 4. Any person violating the provisions of tbis
ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not ex-
ceeding $500 or by imprisonment not exceeding six
months.

Sec. 5. This ordinance shall take effect immediately

Getting Ready for tie Blue Ribbon Sale.

Palo Alto, Jan. 22, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— Dear Sir:
The consignment from Palo Alto to the Blue Ribbon
Sale at Cleveland, May, 1902, are now being handled
by Mr. James Thompson, trainer, formerly with Hon.
L. U. Shippee of Stockton.

The consignment consists of 48 two year olds, the
entire crop of 1900 that are fit to go. They are the
grandest lot of two year olds ever bred at Palo Alto;
many well engaged in Eastern stakes. Full sisters to
Eleata (4) 2:08|, Lucrative2:13J; full brother to Azmon
2:134: full sister to Carolita. Half brothers to Cecillian

(2) 2:22, Expressive (3) 2:124, Ned Thorn 2:11}; half
sister to Freedom (1) 2:29}, Mendocino (3) 2:191. Bernal
2:17; half brothers to Sweet Rose (1) 2:254. Rowellan

(3) 2:15}, L. 96, 2:164, Ardetta (3) 2:25: half sister to
Adabella (2) 2:254, and many others of note.

Yours truly, F. W. Covey.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— I have been
a resident of this city by the western ocean but a short
time, but during my stay here have learned that there
are a very large number of that pestiferous class called
"knockers" among the horsemen. In trying to dis-
pose of a horse that I came here to sell I have run up
against some of these knockers and find that they
can be converted to boosters by a liberal application
of grease to the palms of their hands. Not being in
the oil business I have been unable to supply the nec-
essary grease, hence the knocking continues. Now I
suggest the organization of a Knock-the Knockers
Club, and that a meeting of horse owners be called at
some convenient place forthwith. Every member will
be required to take notes every time he hears a
knocker at work and report the same to the club.
From that time forth every member will be required
to knock the knocker whenever and wherever it is
possible to hit him. There are several knockers in
San Francisco whose tongues are always wagging, but
who are very tender and thin-skinned when a knock
is aimed at them. They think it very cute to spoil a
sale by insinuations and false statements, but when
they feel the tattoo that our club will beat on their
anatomy they will imagine that they have awakened
from a sleep in a boiler factory, and it is a two to one
bet they will yell for mercy. It is the most effective
way to cure this bad habit I know of. I hope every
horseman who is not a knocker will begin knocking
every knocker he hears knocking in the future.

Yours truly, A VICTIM.

San Francisco, Jan. 15, 1902.

May Sue the N. T. A.

The case of the chestnut gelding Arch W., which
was the subject of general discussion last spring, may
be aired in the civil courts, the owner of the horse
having last week instituted suit against the National
Trotting Association, says The Horse Bevievc. How he
will be able to get service on the officers of that organ-
ization is a question. In one suit the court is asked to
force the National Trotting Association to release the
horse from suspension and reinstate him. The other
asks damages in the sum of $20,000 to reimburse the
owner for the loss sustained during the past year by
the enforced idleness of the gelding through his sus-
pension until all claims for illegally won money are
paid. Opinion as to whether the National Trotting
Association had jurisdiction in the case of Arch W.
was quite equally divided last spring, when the affair
was so much commented upon, and if the case ever
comes to trial considerable interest will be centred in
the case, and the judges' decision as to whether the
parent association had jurisdiction in the matter will
be awaited with more than passing interest.

No one will be interested in the $20,000 suit for dam-
ages, it being preposterous to claim that Arch W.'s
enforced idleness was worth anywhere near that
amount. No court will attempt to place the amount
which a horse that did not race might have won had
it been raced, and it is an open question whether Arch
W. under any circumstances could have proven a win-
ner in his class last year. On the other hand, the
National Trotting Association may have saved the
owner money, such as entrance fees and shipping bilis,
by keeping him off the turf.

A Canard Refuted.

Some evil minded person started the rumor a few
weeks since that cases of glanders had been found
among the horses at the salesyard at 11th and Market
streets in this city known as the Killip & Chase yard,
and that the State Veterinarian had so reported. The
following letter will show that the report was as false
as it was vindictive:

Office State Veterinarian of the State of
California.

Sacramento, Jan. 20, 1901.

To Fred H. Chase, San Francisco, Cal. Bear sir: —
In reply to your communication of even date I will say
in justice to all concerned that your horses are not
suspected of being affected with any contagious or
infectious disease, and that your stables located at 11th
and Market streets, San Francisco, are not under
quarantine or any other restrictions as far as this
office is concerned. Yours truly,

Charles H." Blemer
State Veterinarian.

G Peirano of Lodi, owner of that good looking
stallion Alta Genoa by Dexter Prince, will make a
season with the horse at Lodi this year at $30. Alta
Genoa was much faster than his record and is proving
a sire of size and good looks as well as speed, and many
valuable colts by him are owned around Lodi.

Broodmare Sires.

[Chicago Horseman, Jan. 14 ]
According to information secured by this paper there
were, in 1901, twenty-two stallions whose daughters
produced five or more standard performers. Nutwood
is again found at the head of the list, and again he is
far in the lead with the enormous total of twenty-two
representatives. He is followed by Onward, whose
daughters have produced sixteen new performers, and
by Red Wilkes, who is the sire of the dams of fourteen
new ones. Running down through this list of stallions
with five or more to their credit, the preponaerance of
Hambletonian blood in the male is astounding; it is
remarkable that of twenty-two horses in the list only
three do not trace to the hero of Chester. No less
than seven are his sons, nine others are grandsons and
three others are great grandsons, the three exceptions
being Blue Bull, Kentucky Prince and Cyclone.

To more plainly show the increase in the number of
performers produced by the daughters of the leading

Scion of the Royal Families.

That well posted horse breeder, Samuel Gamble, has
often remarked in the writer's hearing: "If a breeder
desires to succeed in producing harness horses that
will sell for good prices in the markets he must get
right up among the royal families of that breed."
There was never a truer remark made and we are
pleased to see that Mr. Gamble has assumed the man-
agement of a young stallion that is one of the bluest
blooded of all the royal lines — Stam B. 2:11^, and will
keep this grand race horse at Pleasanton during the
season of 1902.

Stam B. is not only one of the gamest and fastest
trotters ever produced in California, but he is one of
the handsomest stallions in America, losing nothing in
comparison with his great sire Stamboul, whose mag-
nificent individuality won for him gold medals and
blue ribbons whenever he met the best of America on
the tan bark of the National Horse Show.

The dam of Stam B. is the mare Belle Medium,
whose trotting record is 2:20, and whose sire is that
great son of Hambletonian, Happy Medium, that sired
the trotting queen Nancy Hanks 2:04, dam of that
splendid three year old Admiral Dewey that took a
record of 2:14^ last year. Belle Medium is one of the
handsomest mares in California to-day and it is no
wonder that Stam B.'s colts have so much of this very
desirable and necessary quality, as it would be difficult

Along the line of last week's table, which showed
the one hundred leading sires of standard performers,
there is presented below the list of stallions that have
sired the dams of fifty or more performers and as a
comparison there is given the same table as it stood at
the close of 1896. In the table for 1901 it will be seen
that there are ten stallions which have sired the dams
of one hundred or more, which is one more than the
total number which have sired one hundred or more
performers themselves. Nutwood, Red "Wilkes and
Electioneer have each sired one hundred or more, and
sired the dams of 100 or more performers in the list-
With 186 to his credit, Nutwood has taken a long lead
as the greatest sire of dams. Only fourteen more
additions during the coming season will make his total
two hundred, and as he secured more than that num-
ber in each of the last five years the chances are that
he will pass the mark before another campaign shall
have been ended. George Wilkes stands second in the
list with a total of 163. Blue Bull, whose daughters
have been producing standard performers at the rate
of from eight to ten every year for the past six or
seven seasons, is a close third, while quite a distance in
the rear comes Mambrino Patchen, who reigned for so

broodmare sires, there is presented a third table below.
It shows the total number of performers produced from
1896 to the close of 1901. During those years Nutwood
sired the dams of no less than eighty-seven trotters
and pacers. He is followed by Red Wilkes, who has
sixty. A stallion that occupies third position, leaving
such noted sires of dams as Strathmore, Blue Bull,
Onward, Electioneer, George Wilkes, Belmont and
others behind, is Jay Gould, a horse that has seldom
if ever, been referred to as a great broodmare sire.
At the close of 1896, his daughters had produced but
fourteen performers; now they have to their credit a
total of seventy-three, making fifty-nine that he
secured from 1896 to the close of 1901.

1901:

Like all good things, Jackson's Napa Soda hasa
dozen counterfeits. "Watch out !

to find two handsomer representatives than his sire
and dam.

The second dam of Stam B is Argenta, a producing
mare by Almont Lightning, a stallion that was not
only a handsome horse, but was considered by Generai
Withers, his breeder, to be one of the best colts
Almont ever sired. Hon. H. J. Jewett paid $10,000
for Almont Lightning but the horse died before reach-
ing the age of eight years, leaving very few foals.

Mary Adams, the third dam of Stam B. was a
daughter of that great broodmare sire Mambrino
Patchen, his fourth dam was by the great Mambrino
Chief II, fifth dam by Mason's Whip, a son of the
noted Blackburn's Whip one of the great thorough-
breds of his day whose blood is found in the veins of
many of the fastest modern trotters.

Stam B. is surely destined to be a great sire of speed,
high action and extreme beauty. He imparts those
qualities to all his get without exception. As a race
horse he had few equals. He and his rival Zombro
were the greatest three year old trotters of 1895 in the
United States. Stam B. during his racing career
started in 21 races, was first 10 times, second 6 times,
and third 5 times, thus never being fourth or unplaced.
He won $75,000 in purses and was one of the gamest of
the game. Those breeders who admire handsome
carriage, good looks and size as well as speed can find
no better stallion to mate their mares with than this
son of the now deceased Stamboul, champion of the
track and show ring.

Notes and News, m

Gazelle 2:11} (dam of Zoloek 2:10!) is in foal to
Council Chimes 2:07].

The English Army requires between 18,000 and 19,-
000 horses in time of peace.

Pique, at the age of thirteen, is the dam of Chain
Shot 2:061, Brash 2:15} and Deputize 2:22}.

Pittshurg will have a horse show this year, and S25,-
000 has already been subscribed for that purpose.

A $10,000 event for trotters and one of $5000 for
pacers are liable to be found on Cleveland's Grand Cir-
cuit program for this year.

Lucille 2:07, the champion wagon mare, is jogging
sound at Memphis, and has apparently recovered from
the injury received last summer.

Several extra good looking roadsters will be sold at
the administrator's sale of the late J. B. Chase's horses
at 1732 Market street Februarv 4th.

Don't forget the date of the Palo Alto sale of stallions
and broodmares at the Occidental Horse Exchange.
It is Thursday next, January 30th. The horses will
be at the yard on Monday for inspection.

It is rumored about Xew York that a matinee racing
club will be formed in that city next month on the
plan of the famous club at Cleveland. The more clubs
of this sort the better. San Francisco should have
one.

A. J. Feek, of Syracuse. N. Y., has sold to A. H.
Miller, of Buffalo, the bay trolling mare Red Princess
2:12] for S3000. She will be entered liberally in the
big stake events the season of 1902. She has shown
three heats better than 2:15.

Five of the greatest pacers of 1901, Coney 2:02. Dan
Patch 2:041, Royal R. Sheldon 2:04}, Auduhon Boy
2:06 and Charley Hayt 2:061, have double or treble
crosses to George Wilkes. This speaks volumes for
Wilkes blood and for judicious breeding.

D. L. Crane, the well known horseshoer, formerly
of Sacramento, is now located at Los Angeles. Mr.
Crane has shod as many trotters and pacers on the
California circuit during the past few years as any
man, and the horsemen all speak highly of his work.

Here is one of the stories that is starting about once
a week on the Hot Air circuit: ''It is said that Ed
Geers has purchased a mule witb which he expects to
win the next Transmulia Stake at Memphis, Tenn.
It is said that the mule stepped a mile the third of
January in 2:47}."

When Cresceus stepped the Dallas, Tex., track in
2:07} on Xew Year's Day, he recorded his twenty-third
mile of the season better than 2:10, two of these miles
having been trotted over half-mile tracks. It was the
fastest mile ever trotted in January, and the last quar-
ter was trotted in 291 seconds

Only three trotters acquired world's records in 1901,
a stallion, a gelding and a mare. Cresceus reduced
the trotting record from 2:03} to 2:02}, Peter Stirling
lowered the record for geldings three years old from
2:12 to 2:11* and Janice trotted a mile and one-eighth
in 2:24. the record for that distance.

- G. C. Owens, who has been located at the Concord,
Contra Costa county, race track since last fall, and is
handling a few trotters and pacers for different owners,
has a high opinion of the Sidney stallion Sidmore
2:171, sire of Teddy the Roan 2:171, Little Miss 2:171,
General 2:14} and others, that is owned in that county.
Mr. Owens drove Sidmore a public trial at the Con-
cord fair last year. anJ although the horse was not in
eond'-ioo for a full mile at his best speed, turned the
track in 2:17}, going the first half in 1:11 and the last
ouai ter in 30 seconds.

Dan Misner has a colt by Meridian 2:12} in his string
and is jogging him on the park roads preparatory to
training for the circuit. This is the 6rst of Meridian's
get to be trained, but there are more coming and they
will get race records as soon as they are old enough to
race, as they are fast

The Eastern Grand Circuit dates will be fixed at a
meeting to be held at Detroit next Tuesday. The
Detroit Club desires to open the circuit as usual, but
asks that its date be put one week later than last
season. There are fourteen associations asking for a
place in ''the big ring."

Hart Boswell's fee this year will be 850 insteai of $30
as the types made us say last week.

Thos. S. Griffith, who is now nicely located at
Seattle's new race track, where his horses are all doing
well. There will be a four day's meeting at Seattle in
June or July and one in October. Mr. Griffith says
he expects to' win a race or two there with his green
mare Guysome by Hammer.

Get one of those Palo Alto broodmares and breed
her to some good stallion every year. There is money
in it.

Some talk is heard now and then about matching
Anaconda 2:01} against Prince Alert 2:00} the coming
year.

Nominate your stallion in the California State Agri-
cultural Society's Special Harness Stallion Stake for
1905.

Zombro 2:11 will have a full book at Los Angeles.
His services there will be limited, as he goes to Oregon,
June 1st.

The two minute trotter will have to go forty-four
feet every second. Cresceus went 43.10S feet a second
in bis record mile.

There is no need of your horse suffering with
scratches or cracked heels. Veterinary Pixine will
cure them every time.

Andy Welch is out after the Lord Derby-Boralma
match, and says he will give as much as any other
track to secure the race.

Arthur Brown, lessee of the Xapa race track, pvit
men to work on the track last Monday and will sn<>n
have it in good condition for training horses over.
The track is being plowed up and will be harrowed,
leveled aDd worked until its condition is as near perfect
as possible. It will be one of the best tracks in the
State to train horses on.

A well bred three year old bay colt by Diawood 2:11
is advertised for sale in this is-ue. His (lam is by
Wilkesdale 2:29, a well bred son of Alcantara; second
dam by Calabar B059, son of Guy Wilkes: third dam
Madam Wilson by John Nelson. This is as rich breed-
ing as *here is in the books and as the colt is a good
individual he should be worth all the money the owner
asks for him.

Who will buy Bell Bird 2:22. daughter of Electioneer
and Beautiful Bells? She is to be sold at the Occiden-
tal Horse Exchange January 30th, which is Thursday
next, and a* she is a full sister to Hindu Rose 2:191,

sire. Bell Bo; 2:19}, Bow Bells 2.19}. Bellflower 2:12|
and Belsire 2:211 and but twelve years old, should be
worth a lot of monev.

Inquiries for good horses for road and park purposes
are numerous. Xo less than four advertisements of
horses wanted are in our advertising columns this
week. A pair of mares is wanted by one. a driving
mare by another, a single footer by still another, and
a gentleman's driving horse that can show better than
a 2:30 gait is desired by still another. Some of our
readers should be able to supply these wants.

The annual meeting of the Directors <>f the Northern
Xew York Trotting Horse Breeders Association was
held at Glens Falls on January 13th. C. W. Cool was
President. P. W. Bentiey, Secretary, and W
I. Griffiog Treasurer. The association will apply for
dates on the Grand Circuit this year. All the '
nia hors-men who have raced at Glens Falls speak in
the very highest terms of the management and of the
track.

Azmoor 2:201 by Electioneer out of Mamie C , dam

of three in the 2:30 list, by the thoroughbred horse
imp. Hercules, is to be sold at the Palo Alto sale next
Thursdav Azmoor is twenty years old. but a sound
and vigorous horse and would have large earnioLr
capacity in proper hands. He has sir^d a number of
good race horses, among them the horse Betoniea that
took a record of 2:10.1. and paced a public trial at the
Santa Ana fair in 2:06}.

Mr. E. D. Dudley, of Dixon, writes us that his bay
mare, Bee by Sterling out of Flash by Egmont, is the
dam of Monroe B. 2:19}. which will give Miry by Flax-
tail another descendant in the standard list, as Ster-
ling is one of her sons. The record of Monroe B. was
made at the State Fair last year in a race for members
of the Sacramento Driving Club. He won the second,
third and fourth heats getting his record in the
second.

Thomas Charlton of Ukiah has sold his trotter
Black Bart 2:17} to William Andrews of Iowa. The
horse was shipped to this city this week and will be
sent from here to the home of the purchaser in a few
davs. Black Bart was on the California circuit last
year, starting as a green borse. Out of six starts he
won four first moneys, was fourth once and behind the
money once. He is a good looking horse and a good
prospect for a 2:10 trotter.

Little Tobe, a 14 band trotter by Pimlico 2:10. was
one of the handsomest little horses ever seen on a race
track. He could s ep like a drum major and lift his
knees as hUrh as any horse. He sacrificed his tail to
the demand of fashion an 1 was placed in the Xew
York Horse Sbow. where he won second to T. W.
Lawson's Glorious Bonnie, another trotting bred high

84000 for Little Tobe and will takehim home with him.

It is with regret that we chronicle the death of Mr.
Frank P. Lowell, who passed away after a lingering
illness and much suffering on the 15th of this month
at his home ifl Oakland. Mr. Lowell at one time was
quite an extensive breeder of trotting horses, having
owned the stallion Don Marvin and other well bred
ones. He had been an invalid for years prior to his
Mr. Lowell was an upright, honorable man in
all his dealings and leaves many friends to mourn his
loss.

If some millionaire would butessay to get the world's
pole record to sensational figures it would have a
splendid effect in many ways. It has been 2:12} since
1892 id no really first class pair of race trotters nave
ever been tried as a team regularly. A man who
organizes a 2:10 or 2:09 team of trotters can readiiv
engage them after they were to show high form".
Teamwork ever appeals to the wealthy, and invariably
interests the more humble enthusiasts. — Exchange.

I have been told that Mr. E. Smathers intends
starting his S10,500 purchase, Lord Derby 2:061, in the
matinee races, aod has determined to try bis "hand at
bringing the Boston Cup to Xew York. At a meeting
of a part of the Road Drivers' Association directors,
held at the Rossmore. it was decided to hold a public
meeting within two weeks to consider plans for form-
ing a matinee club here this season. This means
possibly securing of Empire City track as no other is

James Thompson is at Palo Alto Stock Farm at
work on the trotting colts that are being prepared for
the big sale at Cleveland in May. Superintendent
Covey is confident that this, the last consignment of
youngsters from Palo Alto to the salesring, will be the
choicest lot ever sent across the mountains.

During the season of 1901 the Kansas City Driving
Club made the following record: Xumber of events
in matinees. 98; number of heats. 241; number of start-
rs 380; fastest heat trotted, 2:16; fastest heat paced,
2:15: average time of all heats, 2:241: horses owned by
members and started in matinees, 57; membership of
club, over 300. Xot included in above was the exhibi-
tion mile of Cresceus in 2:09}. on October 24th, estab-
lishing the world's record for one-half mile track.
Jas. A. Patton is president of this prosperous matinee
society.

Sam Gamble writes us from Pleasanton that be de-
sires "to claim the name Ailegro for his black colt by
Axtell 2:12 at three years old : first dam by Simmons
2744, second dam (dam of Jeanettc 2:22) by Artillery
750, record 2:211: third dam, that grand broodmare
Lizzie Hayden by Peavine 513; fourth dam Lizzie
Brinker (in great broodmare list) by Dreonon. thor-
oughbred." Mr. Gamble has a greatyoung stallion in
this fellow, hut will have to guess again for a name, as
there are already two stallions registered by the name
"Allegro.1.'

Henry Glide, of Sacramento, is trying to fill an order
from Mexico to purchase a carload of standard bred
stallions. They must be sound young horses, three or
four years old. and must weigh from 1100 to 1200
pounds when matured. Speed nor records are required,
but size and good looks. Mr. Glide's order also calls
for a ear-load each of Holstein cattle, Devons and
Jerseys (the latter in particular) and a carload of
blooded sheep. Any of our readers who have animals
of the desired kind for sale should address Mr. Glide
at once at the general postoffice, Sacramento.

Among the California mares that will be bred to
Cresceus 2:02} this year are Miracle by McKinney.
She is a full sister to Coney 2:02 and is owned by Mr.
John W. Gardner, of San Francisco, who bred her.
Miracle is now at the Ketcham Farm at Toledo, hav-

. _ ..East in the ear wild Cresceus. Little Maid
2:1 B, a pacing mare by Rock wood owned by mine host
C. A. Harrison, of the Abbotsford Inn. Los Angeles,
also went to Toledo in the car to be bred to the cham-
pion. Mr. Geo. Fox. of Clements, who leased his
stallion Silver Bow to Mi-. Ketcham. has arranged to
send his mare Kitty Fox by Pancoast to Cresceus this
spring.

Z. E. Simmons, fin- forty years one of the most
promising horsemen in the country, is lying seriously
ill at the home of his brother-in-law. Daniel J. Bern-
stein in Xew York. Mr. Simmons o*ned George

- i '-hen the famous horse trotted his first

race under the name of Robert Fillingham at the
Fashion track, on Long Island, in 1861. Six years
later he backed Ethan Allen and running mate to beat
in single harness, and put something like
850.000 in his pocket when the old stallion vanquished
.1 in 2:15. Mr. Simmons has lived on his breed-
ing farm near Lexington, Ky., for twenty years or
more. He is 72 vears old.

Palmer Clark rightly claims that the matches for
820.000 between Boralma, Lord Derby and The Abbot
will not decide which is the superior race horse. He
holds that as one horse or the other may not be in
condition on the day of the match, the race may be a
walkover for the other. Mr. Clark suggests that a
series of contests in which all three horses would com-
pete in each race would be much more satisfactory.
While there is no doubt as to this let us not ask too
much. If an owner puts up his money and loses it
because bis borse is not in condition the man that has
one little lone dollar to see the race should not howl
loud enough to be heard in the next county. The
match races may result in the two greatest races ever
s"ren. and they may not, but the public should con-
sider that the chances of not getting a dollar's worth
are verv remote.

James Berryman is at work on three promising
horses belonging to Newlands & Reardon of Oakland.
He has the six year old stallion, Charles Marvin, a full
brother to Don Lowell 2:141, that is a very handsome
large horse and an excellent trotting prospect. Charles
Marvin will be permitted to serve a few mares this
spring and then placed in training for the first time.
Mr Berryman thinks he has a prize in a dimutive bay
mare by McKinney out of a Sidney mare. She is a
trotter'with a gait that is about perfection and shows
bursts of speed that look to be of the 2:15 variety
The sorrel mare. Maud R. by Jim C. is another good
prospect that Mr. Berryman has in charge. She is a
pacer without a reeord and will be raced in the slow
classes this year. Mr. Berryman is a careful man and
says he does" not propose moving any of these horses
fast for some time yet. He has taken them to the
Alameda track and has plenty of stall room for a few
more which he will train at reasonable terms.

American Candidates For English Derby.

[BY J. J. BFRKE ]

For the first time in its history the famous Epsom
Derby, to be run on Wednesday, June 4th, will in all
probability have as competitors for the glorious "blue
ribboii of the turf, " as Lord George Bentinck described
it to Benjamin Disraeli, at least four American turfmen
of renown.

It is peculiarly appropriate, too, that this, the "Cor-
onation Derby," should be the occasion of a concerted
effort by Americans to win it, just tweuty-one years
after the late Mr. Pierre Lorillard's Iroquois should
have added this coveted trophy to the manv which
adorned the home of his owner at Raucocas.

For the first time since the death of the Queen it is
declared that the royal colors will be seen in public.
Those colors are purple, gold braid, scarlet sleeves,
black velvet cap with gold fringe. The recent an-
nouncement that Lord Marcus Beresford has been
appointed manager of the King's racing stud makes
this more than probable.

There are two colts in this year's Derby who were
nominated by the King while he was still Prince of
"Wales, and it is only reasonable to expect that, whether
these colts have a chance to win or whether they have
not, one or both may be started in order to lend eclat
to the occasion.

It would be no new thing to see those colors in front
in the Derby. Twice have they been in the van, once
on Persimmon in 1896, and again on Diamond Jubilee,
his full brother, in 1900, both winners bred by their
owner, this fact alone being quite as much cause for
congratulation as the actual winning of the great race,
for to breed even an ordinary stake winner affords the
keenest pleasure to the real sportsman.

It is against such turfmen as the King of England,
Duke of Devonshire, Lord Alington, Duke of Port-
land, Lord Bradford, Lord Durham, Lord Falmouth
(nephew to the more famous nobleman of the same
name), Lord Rosebery, Baron Rothschild, Mr. Leopold
de Rothschild, Duke of Westminster and some of the
very highest class French turfmen that our own Amer-
icans will this year send their representatives.

If any of the quartet should be fortunate enough to
win the great race no ordinary language would suffice
to describe the real feelings of such a man. Some
slight idea may be had when it is recalled that last May,
at the local Gravesend track, when news of the victory
Of his leased English colt, Volodyovski, in the Derby,
reached Mr. Whitney he at once gave carte blanche to
the caterer at the track to open wine for all comers.

Most important to American lovers of the best class
of racing is the shipment by Mr. Whitney of his colt
Nasturtium to run for the stake. He was accompanied
by a stable companion, but few really imagine that
this colt, Intruder, a juvenile of no known form, was
sent over with any real hope of being a dangerous con-
tender.

Experts agree that it would have been far better if
the American colt had been sent across the Atlantic
last September or October, but, as is well known, the
intentions of his owner were not then centred on this
enterprise, and it was only after consultation wilh the
trainer at his English stable that Mr. Whitney decided
to take all the risks that a midwinter journey implied.

James R. Keene's best known candidate for the
Derby is Kearsarge by Kingston, out of Flying Squad,
ron. This colt was bred by Mr Keene at his Kentucky
farm and sent to England as a yearling, no doubt after
having shown good trials, which have to some extent
since been confirmed by his double victory on two con-
secutive days, his more important victory being a race
called the Prendergast Stake, which requires a colt of
class to win.

There is a stable companion of Kearsarge called
Choiro, by Horoscope out of Veva, who has never run,
and about whom little is known. He is a Derby candi-
date also, bred in this country by Mr. Keene, and sent
over in company with Kearsarge. These two, with all
of the horses now in England the property of the
Messrs. Keene, have recently been placed in charge Of
another trainer, Felix Leach, whose brother is a
famous Newmarket veterinarian,

Mr. Richard Croker's nomination for the Derby is
called Stanhope. He is a big coarse colt, and Jacob
Pincus, who trained Iroquois and who has spent some
recent years in England, compares him to Tom Ochil-
tree, the great cup horse owned by George Lorillard
and raced a quarter of a century ago.

Stanhope is the produce of the King's horse, Florael,
mated to an American mare called Ming's Daughter,
sent to England by J. E. McDonald in 1896 uod now
owned by Mr. Croker. This marnisa daughter of the
late Mr. August Belmont's grand horse Kingfisher,
who as far back as 1871 was actually * Lined a mile in
1:40 in a race at two and a quarter miles, be and LoDg
fellow practically running each other to a standstill,
so that, as Pincus says, "a yeller dog" might have
beaten both at the finish but for the fact that they
were the only starters.

The full time was 4:02f, which would make the last
mile and a quarter in 2:22$, or about fourteen seconds
slower than the average time of a race at this distance,
showing how the pace of the first mile told. This was
thirty years ago, and the statement was recently made
by Kingfisher's trainer at that time that he was good
enough to have won the English Derby of his year.

Stanhope, Mr. Croker's colt, is a grandson of King-
fisher, but whether he is a colt of the same class as his
ancestor is open to question. Mr. Croker thinks he is
a good one, but many cold-blooded observers of bim at
Newmarket think otherwise. His late trainer, Enoch
Wishard, has stated that he has shown speed as good
as half a mile in 51 seconds, up hill part of the way.

An intensified international flavor attaches to the
Derby of this year by the fact that Mr William K.
Vanderbilt has a colt called Ellsmere engaged. This
youogster was foaled in France, the produce of an
American mare, Ella Pinkerton, who was sent over to
that country in foal to the dead Hanover, whose pre-
mature death was one of the greatest blows the turf of
this country has ever sustained, Mr. Vanderbilt has
been a consistent purchaser of American mares for his
stud in France, and only recently he bought the stall-
ion Halma, a son of Hanover, the purchase of this
horse having undoubtedly been prompted by the
promise shown by Ellsmere, who was among the best
colts of his age on the French turf in 1901.

His notable victory at Maisons Lafitte in October
last, when he defeated a field comprising two and three
year olds at seven furlongs and ran at if he liked a long
race, certainly entitles him to great respect. The colt
is also in the Grand Prix, to be run only a few days
after the Derby, and the winner of the English stake
is sometimes at a disadvantage in trying for the French
prize so soon after the Derby.

Mr. Vanderbilt has. however, a very strong stable
this year, judging from their performances in 1901,
and one thing which may beintheirfavoris that there
is no two year old racing in France until August 1st-
It should be a source of gratification to Americans to
know that all of Mr. Vanderbilt's best colts and fillies
are the produce of American mares pui'chased from
Mr. Pierre Lorillard in 1895. Among them may be
mentioned Blush, Ildico and Dolinka, all familiar to
students of our stud book.

Nasturtium is beyond doubt the colt in which most
interest is felt, because of the great odds he encounters
in his attempt. Not alone must he be of good enough
class to be able to win if he had no setbacks of any
sort, but he must survive all the chances of sickness
and changes of climate that lurk upon the heels of a
race horse. His predecessor, Tommy Atkins, sent over
a year ago on a similar errand — viz., to win the blue
ribbon— ^died almost immediately after landing. Killa-
shandra, a filly, met the same fate.

On the other, Kilmarnock, Elizabeth M., Elkhorn
St. Cloud, Voter and many others landed safely and
most of them raced up to their known form. St.
Cloud was within a short head of winning one of the
big Fall handicaps. Voter was a failure in England;
but a success here; St. Cloud a success in England, a
failure in America. Kilmarnock was a real good horse
in both countries, and from the tone of John Huggins,
his trainer, there is not a horse upon the English turf
that has a better chance for the honors to be won in
the Ascot Gold Cup and Alexandra Vase, to say
nothing of the other valuable races in which he is
engaged.

As to tht public form of Mr. Whitney's candidate,
racing critics liked the manner in which Nasturtium
wou the Flatbush Stakes at Sheepshead Bay, seven
furlongs, run in 1:25 3-5. But it was over the new or
nearly straight seven furlongs, and did not rank as
good a performance as was that of Requital in 1895,
when he ran around the turn in 1:26, defeated the
good colt Ben Brush, ran thefirst five furlongs in one
minute flat, and went on the full mile in 1:40, as timed
by a number of experts at the time. This was the
most notable public trial ever shown, and when David
Gideon, who owned him at that time, was recently
asked if such a colt as Requital couid have won this
year's English Derby he emphatically declared that
he could have won '-fifteen Derbys."

The same good judge was asked how he liked the
chances of Mr. Whituey's colt for the Derby and he
answered that if he was as good a colt as he appeared
to be in this country he would be a dangerous com-
petitor, but that it would have helped his chances very
much if he could have been landed safely in October
last.

James Rowe, Mr. Keone's trainer, who ought to
know what sort of a colt it took to win tke Derby,
said that he was influenced by the fact that John
Huggios was very murh of the opinion that Nastur-
tuum's chances were second to none. Jacob Pincus,
who trained Iroquois when he won the Derby of 1881,
was confident that Nasturtium had a good chance to
win, but he had never seen him run, and hence was
dependent upon the opinions of his friends, some of

whom thought that the colt had bad action for one
who would be required to win over the peculiar Derby
course. "But Kingfisher had bad action, too, " said
Mr. Pincus, "and he could have won any Derby, and
might have beaten Longfellow in 1871 in the three-
mile race that was to follow the Cup of that year, but
old John Harper refused to run Longfellow against
Kingfisher, who had a walkover.'1

John W. Rogers, traioer of Nasturtium during the
season of 1901. has expressed the utmost confidence in
the colt, claiming that for speed he had no superior in
America, and he, was certain that he would go the
Derby route.

And finally John Huggins, the man who is to train
the Derby colt, is of the opinion that in five months'
training he will be able to fit Nasturtium to run a race
good enough to win the Derby if his class is equal to it.

Just what the Derby is and the sort of course the
winner has to run over to achieve this great honor are
interesting to Americans who are familiar with the
circular tracks of this country. As an event, no race
in tho world surpasses it in drawing power. It is
declared that a million people see the race or some
part of it. This may be an exaggeration, however.
The transportation facilities to Epsom are not really
first class. London supplies a greater part of the
crowd, yet the attendance is much more cosmopolitan
than those at the now inclosed courses at Sandown or
Kempton Park.

In good weather the "going" is all right, but in
times of drought it becomes dry and hard. The
course, a mile and a half, is a great test of merit,
although the turn at "Tattenham Corner" is con-
demned as dangerous. There is not a long "run in,"
considering this turn, yet it is said that the Derby
fields seldom run wide. The shape of the course is
not unlike a horseshoe. The first half mile is up hill
somewhat, then a long descent to "Tattenham Corner."'
For the last three furlongs of the race there is a gentle
rise. Good shoulders are essential for a Derby colt.

This year will be the 122nd running. It was first
raced for in 1780, and its winner, Diomed, imported to
America. In five crosses Lexington, the greatest
horse of his time, went back to Diomed as follows:
Lexington, Boston, Timoleon, Sir Archy and Diomed.
Not once in fifty years is the Derby winner less than
the best of his year, although it has sometimes hap-
pened that the best of the year was disqualified
through the death of his nominator, or because he was
not entered in the stake. Frequently a Derby winner
has been retired at the close of his three year old form
and begun to earn enormous fees for his owner.

Immense prices are often realized for Derby winners
when sold. Thus Ormonde was bought by a young
Californian for $150,000, and two years ago his grand-
son, Flying Fox, was sold for over $187,500 — a record
never yet equaled. His present owner is M. Blanc,
the famous continental turfman.

More than once it has been charged that horses
more than three years old have won it, and it was
proved to be true in one instance — that of Running
Rein, in 1814. In 1867. Hermit won at long odds, it
having beeD reported that he had burst a blood vessel
several days before the race. The winner of 1868,
Blue Gown, was purchased by Mr. James R. Keene in
1876, but died at sea on his way to America. There
have been two dead heats for the race in its entire
history — 1828 and 1884. Mr. Pierre Lorillard was the
only turfman who v- on with an American horse. L.
Reiff was the only American jockey to ride a Derby
winner — Volodyjvski — New York Herald Jan., 12th.

Will Ride Across the Continent.

On our front page to day is a picture of Mr. G. von
Zedlitz-Neukirch of this city, formerly an officer in
the German army, and a gray horse he proposes riding
from San Francisco tc New York. The gentleman
purchased the horse from Mr. H. B. Goecken, the well
known hay and grain merchant of this city, who bred
and raised him at his farm near Livermore. He is
called Young Roland, and was sired by Mr. Goecken's
stallion Roland, a son of the Electioneer stallion Junio
and the running bred mare Oregon Belle. The dam
of Young Roland was a full sister to Sweetbriar 2:26},
therefore by Eugene Casserly, a son of tho old twenty
mile trotter Gen. Taylor, and out of Peanuts by Geo.
M. Patchen 31. Young Roland is full of trotting
blood, is agood weight packer and a very hardy horse.
He will get a pretty severe test on the trip as his rider
weighs about two hundred pounds. The trip will be
begun about March 1st.

Owen Brothers' good racehorse Grady, winner of
many stakes and races at all distances, died at the
farm of his owners in Fresno county last week. He
was bv Three Cheers out of Gold Cup and one of the
fastest and most consistent thoroughbreds thai
raced in California.

THE PRINCIPAL SUBJECT of conversation among
breeders of harness horses on this Coast at the
present time is the Special Stallion Stake announced
bv the California State Agricultural Society for the
get of stallions that stood for service in 1901, the races
to be trotted and paced by the three year olds in 1905.
A wager has already been made by a prominent horse
breeder that the stake will exceed §20,000 in value-
Without doubt it is one of the best stakes ever devised
and that it should have been inaugurated by the State
Agricultural Society is a matter of pride for Califor.
nian?. Every stallion owner that has visited the office
of the Breeder and Sportsman this week hag
asserted that he will name nis stallion in the stake and
endeavor to have as ms»ny of the stallion's foals of 1902
named as possible. After the stallions are named on
February 15th, it is certain that breeders will peruse the
the list carefully who in 1901 sent their mares to be bred,
as they will naturally wish to know whether the colts
that appear this spring will be eligible to the stake.
which will doubtless be the richest stake ever trotted
or paced for this side of the Mississippi river. We
presume all our readers are familiar with the condi-
tions of the stake, but if not we refer them to our ad-
vertising columns where they are fully set forth.
There is no standard bred stallion in California, that
was in the stud last year, whose owner can afford to
keep out of this stake, as the winner of either division
will hardly bring more fame and reputation to its sire
than any other event will do that is trotted or paced
on this Coast in 1905. The owners of the sires of win-
ners will not only be paid S250 each out of the stake,
but their horses will receive a very greatly increased
patronage the following spring, as ''breed to the sires
of stake winners" is getting to be a rule with harness
horse breeders as it is with the breeders of thorough-
breds. Every stallion owner in the States and Terri-
tories in which stallions are eligible should name his
horse in this stake.

and is out of Elaine 2:20, dam of four in the list. Ella,
2:29, a full sister to Helena 2:11}, is another. Lady
Well 2:16J, a daughter of Electioneer that has pro-
duced a 2:20 three year old is to be sold. Coralie, a
young mare by Boodle 2:12J, out of a full sister to
Anteeo 2:1 6i, Antevolo 2;19}, and others will go to the
highest bidder. Lady Nutwood, daughter of the
greatest producing sire in the world, is in the cata-
logue. She has produced Ned Thome 2:11} and three
others with records, and was stinted to Mendocino last
May. Sabling, a full sister to Sable Wilkes 2:18, and
Laura Drew, dam of the first yearling to beat 2:30,
will be sold. Azmoor, one of the best representatives
of the Electioneer-thoroughbred cross, is the only
stallion to be offered at this sale. He is a producer
of extreme speed and a high class horse. The sale
will begin on Thursday morning next at 11 o'clock at
721 Howard street. Send for a catalogue to William
G. Layng, auctioneer, at the above address if you have
not already received one, look it over carefully and be
there ready to bid. There will be many of the animals
sold for less than thev are worth.

T-WENTY-FOUR BROODMARES, one stallion and
*■ two geldings from Palo Alto Stock Farm will be
sold at auction at the Occidental Horse Exchange, 721
Howard street, next Thursday. This announcement
should be sufficient to attract to the sale every man in
California who intends devoting any of his time and
attention in the next few years to the breeding of light
harness horses. Palo Alto is the greatest breeding
farm ever founded, and has done more to increase the
value of California horses than any other venture.
The horses that now comprise this famous stud are to
be dispersed during the year, through sales in San
Francisco, Sacramento, Cleveland and New York.
The mares and stallions that will be offered here in
California are among the best on the farm. There are
many producers and great individuals among them.
and their breeding is choice. This is the time and the
opportunity for breeders to get something good and
choice and it should not take long to dispose of this
first consignment. The mare Bell Bird 2:22 as a two
year old, a daughter of Electioneer and Beautiful
Bells, is in the catalogue. She should bring thousands
of dollars. Elsie by Gen. Benton is another. She is
the dam of Palita 2:10, Rio Alto 2:16}, Novelist 2:27,
Mary Osborne 2:28} and Salvini 2:3C, all colt trotters

THE GREAT DISPERSAL SALE of the thor-
oughbreds and other stock on the Sonoma Stock
Farm will be held at the salesyard, 1732 Market street,
on Tuesday, February 4th, beginning at 10 a. M.
This sale is by order of the court and is held that the
estate of the late J. B. Chase (who was one of Califor-
nia's leading breeders of thoroughbreds) may be
settled. There are nineteen highly bred broodmares,
nine yearlings, eleven two year olds, one three year
old and eight four year olds. Among the producing
mares are Catalina, dam of Centella and Randwick,
Mischief, the dam of Amanda: Rosedale. dam of Man-
zanillo; Rebecca, dam of Isaline, Daniella, Misfortune,
Fortuna and Glorianna: Miss Lou, dam of Glengaber;
Mary E., dam of Antoinella and others. Among the
mares that have won races are Amanda by Warwick,
Mischief by Thad Stevens, Marigold by Milner (winner
of the best long distance race ever run in California,
holding the record of 7:20} at four miles, which is the
world's race record for mares), Centella by Joe Hooker:
Rosedale by Joe Hooker, Phoebe Ann by imp. Friar
Tuck, Constance M. by Joe Hooker, Mystery (winner
of three De^bys) by Three Cheers, Miss Lou by
Yolturno, Mary E. (never beaten) by Ironclad, Fare-
well b_, imp Glenelg and Miss Pollard by imp. Idalium
brother to Sir Mod red and Cheviot. There is much
of the celebrated Katy Pease and Hennie Farrow blood
in the mares and their produce to be sold at this sale,
and the colts and fillies are by such horses as imp.
Trentola. Eolo, Del Norte, Dare, Primrose and other
well bred horses. Mr. Chase, in establishing the
Sonoma Stock Farm, laid its foundation in the lines
that had produced long distance race winners, and Le
met with much success, few breeding farms in the
world have turned out a greater proportion of winners
to the number bred. As a side issue he also bred
roadsters, giving particular attention to size and good
looks, and among the twenty horses of trotting blood
to be sold at this sale are many very handsome and
stylish individuals. The sale is absolute and without
reserve and buyers will have the best opportunity to
get horses at their own prices that has been offered in
San Francisco for years.

THE RETURN TO AUCTIONS AND MUTUALS
as the system of betting on harness races, which
has been so long desired by owners and breeders of
harness horses in California, may be accomplishsd this
year, and if so there should be a most successful cir-
cuit. The State Board of Agriculture has taken the
first step, and at its meeting in Sacramento on the 8th
of February will in all probability decide that no
books can be made at the State Fair on harness rac-
ing. Secretary Geo. W. Jackson has, during the past
week, sent out a request to all the harness horsemen
in California that they send to the Board their opinion
as to the most desirable system of betting for harness
races. This request is made upon a return postal card
and the recipient has but to fill out the blacks on the
same and drop the card in the mail. There should be
no delay in the matter and we hope, for the credit of
harness horse owners and those interested in the busi-
ness in any way, that every card sent out by the Sec-
retary will be returned as requested. The Board is
ready to act as the majority of the horsemen desire.
If the State Board abolishes the evil of book betting
on harness races, the district boards will be encour-
aged to do the same thing and with fair purses the
circuit of harness racing will be ahead of anything seen
in California for vears.

MR. FRANK P. KENNEY, Secretary and Manager
of that sterling publication the Kentucky Stock
Farm, has sold his interest in the paper to Mr. Charles
L. Monsch, President of the company, and retired
temporarily from journalism. Mr. Kenney is such an
active business man that he will not be long out of
harness, and as he prefers the journalistic end of life's
game, and has a natural aptitude for it, will doubtless
remain in that line. The S'odfc Farm, under his man-
agement, has been greatly improved and has ahead of
it a very properous year. It is one of the best papers
devoted to horse interests that is published.

THE ONLY OBJECTION that can be offered to the
proposed change in the rules that will permit
three races to be sandwiched instead of two, is that it
will allow more than the regular 25 minutes between
heats where there is considerable scoring. This should
not be weigh ty enough to prevent the change. If the
time in some cases is drawn out to 40 minutes between
heats, it will probably result in a closer contest in the
following heat, and if the forty minutes is taken up by
a couple of good heats in other races, the public will be
pleased.

SEVERAL STALLION ADVERTISEMENTS that
reached us too late for this issue of the Breeder
and SPORTSMAN will appear next week. The breed,
ing season will begin on the 1st of February and
owners should have their advertisements in by Wed-
nesday next that they may appear in the first edition
in February which will be printed next Saturday.

REPORTS ARE PUBLISHED in all the San Fran-
cisco dailies of an Eastern plunger who is break-
ing the books and winning such loads of money at
Oakland every day that it requires the services of
several assistants to carry it home. 580,000 is the
amount he is said to have won Thursday. The prob-
abilities are that he did not win one-tenth that sum,
but the crowd of suckers that will read the story and
try to emulate him will lose more in a day than he
wins in a week.

MR. B. S. KREHE reached Agricultural Park, San
Jose, this week with his two handsome stallions,
Alcyo 2:10 by Alcyone, and Pistol, a son of Lancelot.
The performances and breeding of these horses, both
of which were purchased in the east last fall by Mr
Krehe, were printed in our holiday edition, together
with half tone engravings of both. As they are fine
individuals and bred in fashionable lines they should
be well patronized.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

It is fair to assume, that in the light of experiences
during the past two seasons, the days of professional-
ism at the traps are numbered. Amateurs and pro-
fessionals are drifting further and further apart, and
at the open-to-all shoots nowadays no big attendance
can be looked for unless there is considerable added
money to draw a crowd. At many shoots last year
there was but a small gathering of shooters at the
"open" traps. The reason was not far to seek: There
was company at those traps that was far too hot for
the average amateur to back up against; as a natural
result he was not present, and the manufacturers'
agents had it all to themselves. Only a few years ago
an average of thirty entries was quite an ordinary tour-
nament; now an average of twenty-five in all the pro-
gram events is considered good, and very few shoots
attain that standard. Undoubtedly much of this is
due to the introduction of professionalism, that is, the
sending around to tournaments men hired by manu-
facturers of and dealers in sporting goods to show off
and expound the good qualities of the articles manu-
factured by their employers. At first this was a small
thing, but it grew very rapidly until "de gang" got to
be recognized as such, and when that time came the
amateurs grew wiser and tightened their purse strings.
Having once learned the lesson they never forgot that
they had no chance to come out even in a contest with
a man whose business it was to shoot, and who, by
constant and assiduous practice, had reduced trap-
shooting to a very fine science.

A few days ago, says a correspondent in Shootinq
and Fishing. I asked an old hunter and trapper where
was the best place to shoot a bear, elk, or cougar.
"In shooting large game," he replied, "such as elk,
bear, cougar, and even deer, I have, whenever it was
possible, shot them through the shoulders. That is,
in my opinion, the best place. Oh, if you could always
put a bullet through the brain or heart, that would
be all right, but one can't always choose the target.
I use a 40, 44, or 45 calibre. If you smash a big animal
through the shoulder and break the bones, yon gener-
ally disable it so that it can't get away or do you any
damage. That has been my experience, and 1 have
hunted and trapped for many years through the
mountains of northern California and southern Ore-
gon. I have met all sorts of big game there I have
neverfailed yet to bringan animal down when I smashed
his shoulders; yes, and he generally stayed down. If
you have any show at all. you stand a good chance of
putting a shot through the shoulders. If you go for
the head or heart you may miss, and then the animal
will escape or else will make things hot for you. I
make it a rule of shooting through the shoulders.
You will knock out a bear or cougar almost every
time, or an elk. Remember, you want a gun with a
big bullet — a 50 calibre is the best."

The Money is Up.

New YORK, January 22. — Articles of agreement for
the two match races for 820,000 aside between Thomas
W. Lawson 's Boralma and E. E. Smathers1 Lord Derby
and John J. ScannelTs The Abbot were signed to-day
by the owners, thus consummating what promises to
be two of the greatest trotting races ever decided on
the turf.

The agreement was s:gned by Mr. Lawson and for-
warded to Messrs. Smathers and Scannell, and as the
conditions were satisfactory to the latter, both gentle-
men affixed their signatures without delay.

The conditions named in the articles are the same as
those accepted by the owners of the racers when they
posted their forfeit of $5000 each. The Boralma-Lord
Derby match will take place first and the Boralma-The
Abbot race be decided on a date to be selected not
earlier than two weeks subsequent to the Boralma-
Lord Derby match. The following is a copy of the
articles signed by Mr. Lawson and Mr. Smathers
to-day. The agreement between Mr. Lawson and Mr.
Scannell is practically the same, except that the
Boralma-The Abbot race will not take place until two
weeks after Boralma meets Lord Derby. Mr. Smathers
would like to have his match decided at Brighton
Beach, because he believes there is more interest taken

Cresceus Reaches Home.

Cresceus 2:02} and his party arrived home in Toledo
last night, says the Toledo Bee of JaLuary 10th.

"Is Cresceus in good condition?" was asked of owner
and driver George Ketcbam.

"Good condition? Well, I should say he was.
Why, we were fifty-four hours on the road from Waco
and when we took Cresceus out of the car last night
for a time I was afraid he would get away from the
boy who was leading him. The rest of the horses in
the car were pretty well tired out, but not Cresceus —
he's a wonderful horse.

"Cresceus is in as good condition now as he was
when he left Toledo in the spring. The man who put
new shoes on him this morning said that his legs were
in finer condition than ever. I am going to have him
weighed to-day to see how much he has gained. To-
morrow he will be taken out to the farm.

"The health of all the members of our party is ex-
cellent," said Mr. Ketcham, "and we didn't miss a
feed. I never had such a good time in all my life and
I never was so glad to get back home, either."

"Cresceus has trotted his last race," continued his
owner, "but not perhaps his last fast mile. Possibly,
next August, I shall go after 'em again."

When asked as to the close of his trip, he said:

THE ABBOT 2:03 1-4,

in the race there than in any other place. The articles
governing the contest follow:

This agreement, made and entered into this day

of January, 1902, between Mr. Thomas W. Lawson of
Boston, owner of Boralma, party of the first part, and
Mr. E. E. Smathers of New York, owner of Lord
Derby, party of the second part.

1. The parties of the first and second part hereby
agree to have the said Boralma and the said Lord
Derby meet in a special match race at a time between
the loth of July and the 1st of September. 1902, which
is to be hereinafter mutually agreed upon by the
parties of the first and second parts.

2. The said race is to be trotted at a track to be
hereinafter agreed upon between said owners, said
track to be agreed upon to be that track which shall
offer the best inducements for said race.

3. The bids for said race will be received up to
March 1, 1902.

4. Trotting associations desuingto secure the said
race are instructed to send their offers to Harry
Beecher, sporting editor of the Xew York Journal, who
will forward the same to the parties of the first and
second parts for final action.

5. The parties of the first and second parts further
agree that the special match »*aee in which said
Boralma and Lord Derby will contest shall be the best

"The tracks were very bad in Texas and the fact is I_
did not care to waste any more time there, and besides
I was not able to close the dates rapidly enough."

The horse will now be put in the stud.

The Cresceus car was attached to the Katy flyer,
and besides the mascot dog, Bob Cresceus, Cresceus
himself and Mike the Tramp, the trotter's pacemaker,
there were four other horses brought back from the
West to become temporary residents at the Ketcham
farm. These were: Silver Bow by Robert McGregor
2:16}, a stallion owned by Mr. George Fox, aCalifornian,
and leased by Mr. Ketcham. Silver Bow is a large
horse; sixteen and a half hands high, a dark bay with
no white on him.

Loudenia Wilkes 2:14}, a trotter by Ashland Wilkes,
dam by Patchen Wilkes, owned by Henry Bing, of
Denison, Texas.

Miracle, a full sister to Coney 2:02, pacer; owned by
John W. Gardiner, of San Francisco.

Little Maid 2:18, pacer, by Rockwood; first dam by
Pocahontas Mambrino; owned by C. A. Harrison, Los
Angeles.

Others tbat are coming in the very near future are
Kitty Fox by Pancoast, from Clements, Cal. ; B. K.
Walker by Dictator, first dam by King Rene, from
Denver, Col.; Lucy Carr 2:14}, trotter, and Adebell, a
full sister to Ad bell, the champion yearling trotter;
owned by Alexander McLaren, Quebec, Canada.

Cresceus went a mile over the Dallas, Texas, track
in 2:07} on New Year's Day, the fastest mile trotted
over any track at that time of the year. Mr. Ketcham
was asked if he regarded that as the most remarkable
mile trotted during the trip. He said that it would be
hard to decide what was the most remarkable mile,
but he himself thought best of the mile at Pueblo,
Col., in 2:10^, which was covered over a very poor
half-mile track.

"The western tracks as a rule are very poor, and
without plenty of water there's no way of keeping the
tracks in good condition."

Apropos of this some funDy conditions were met
with in the west. The track at Waco was so bad that
no exhibition was given there at all, there being no
fence around part of the track. At Denison, on Janu-
ary 4th, a mile over the half-mile track there was cov-
ered in 2:14, in spite of the deep sand which covered it.

At Tucson, Ariz., a dandy was run across, there
being as much as eight inches of sand in the stretches,
while on the turns the wind swept it clean and the
track there tfas a rock, and had been covered with
shavings as a sort of mediator.

At Albuquerque, N. M., on Christmas Day a mile
was covered over a half-mile track in 2:16}. It hap-
pened that near the track was a spring. The spring
became lively and flooded the track, but the mile was
made in pretty good time after all.

Something like twenty-two exhibitions were given
since Cresceus left Toledo. The Columbus mile still
stands first at 2:02}, and that over the half-mile track
at Kansas City in 2:09} is the best since the horse left
Toledo.

Mr. Ketcham brought back with him a number of
trunks filled with valuable and beautiful trophies given
him in honor of Cresceus. This morning a valuable
bridle came from Phoenix, Arizona, braided entirely of
black and white horse hair, a very valuable and unique
specimen indeed.

It was an interesting trio that came down Adams
street this morning — Cresceus, the fastest trotter in
the world, led by Eddie Mitchell, who has worked
with the horse for the past three years, and the little
snub faced Bull Terrier mascot, which has followed
the successes of the great horse all over the country.

Eddie Mitchell was all smiles, and it kept him busy
greeting his friends; the mascot seemed to be glad to
be home again, too; Cresceus, wrapped up in a fine
blanket, green and yellow trimmed, the gift of John
Wanamaker, the Philadelphia Sunday school teacher,
aloneseemed to take his new environment with coolness.

The Ketcham party arrived last night at 10:30 over
the Clover Leaf, coming direct from Waco, Texas,
after a trip of about two days. The party consisted
of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Ketcham, Miss Rachel Ketcham,
Tim Murnane, Cashier Greene, Eddie Mitchell, Peter
Driscoll, who had charge of Mike the Tramp, Cresceus'
running mate, and Tom Caffrey, a helper.

Cresceus was taken to Mr. Ketcham 's stable on
Eleventh street this morning and fitted out with six
ounce road shoes. vVhile at the forge on St. Clair
street he was the attraction which led many to give
him a formal call.

Cresceus is certainly a horse vi ith a good disposition,
and was brilliant enough to keep discreetly silent.

He nibbled apples given by Eddie Mitchell, and
when fitted out with his new shoes, stood for a picture
and was taken back to the stable.

Geo. Berry, the efficient superintendent of the
Spreckels Stock Farm at Napa, is looking with great
pride upon a colt that was introduced to him one
morning last week by the imported Australian mare
Candid by Splendor. Candid was a stake winner in
Australia and California and this colt by her is sired
by tbat good horse imp. St. Andrew, sire of many
winners and one of the best sons of St. Simon ever
brought to America. The youngster is large and
very active and a handsome fellow all over.

Pacific Coast Derby and All-Age.

[REPORTED BY ALBERT BETZ.]

The nineteenth annual trials of the Pacific Coast
Field Trials Club were held at Santa Maria, Santa Bar-
bara county, beginning: on Monday morning-, January
13th, and were completed on the afternoon of Wednes-
day, the 15th inst. But two stakes were run: The
Derby with seven starters and the All- Age with fifteen*
The small number of Derby starters was a disappoint-
ment, there having- been thirty-five original nomina-
tions and twenty-one having" paid second forfeit; but
death and disease played havoc with the young dogs,
and, as a matter of fact, the older ones did not entirely
escape.

The Derby purse was $350, of which 50?£ went to
first, 30\ to second and 20% to third. The All-Age
purse footed up $340 and was divided up in like manner.

Prof. John A. Balmer, of Cle-Elum, Wash., officiated
in the saddle; and it was at once apparent that a better
choice could hardly have been made. His decisions met
with the general approval of those present who under-
stood what field trials were for, and no adverse com-
ment was heard concerning his rulings.

Cuba Jr., the winner of first in the Derby, was by
all odds far ahead of any of the other Derby dogs; but
he met with defeat when up against the seasoned dogs
in the All-Age. Dr. Daniels and Pearl's Jingle, the
winners of first and second in the latter event, are
Point3rs hard to surpass, and Prof. Balmer compares
them favorably with some of the best Pointers he has
seen in the Eastern trials. Peach Blossom and North-
ern Huntress, who divided third in the All-Age, were
but little behind the winners of first and second. They
go with great speed, have a wide range, hunt diligently
and have a merry way of going. Blossom's bird work
was not the best, but with another season's work she
will be a bitch hard to beat. Huntress has had but
little work on California quail and should improve
wonderfully with more experience.

While the weather conditions on the particular days
the events were run were rather favorable than other-
wise, the extreme dryness prevailing made it difficult
for the dogs to locate birds. Many were found, but
they seemed to emit little or no scent. Notwithstand-
ing, the trials were very successful and the attendance
was good, many of the local residonts taking as much
interest therein as the members of the club. Had
there been a rain a few days previous to the time the
trials were held the grounds and conditions would have
been ideal. Residents of Santa Maria did all in their
power to make them a success and to provide for the
comfort of the visiting sportsmen.

The annual meeting of the club was held on Wednes-
day evening, January 25th, and the following officers
were elected: J. E. Teriy, of Sacramento, President;
Hon. W. W. Van Arsdale, of San Francisco, First
Vice-President; Hon, H. W. Keller, of Santa Monica,
Second Vice-President; Albert Betz, of San Francisco,
Secretary-Treasurer. Executive Committee— Hen. C.
N. Post, W. S. Tevis, Clinton E. Worden, John H.
Schumacher and T. J. A. Tiedemann. It was decided
to run the next trials commencing on the second Mon-
day of January, 1903, the place of holding the trials to
be determined later by the Executive Committee. The
same stakes are to be run as were scheduled for this
year.

The question of selecting and maintaining permanent
grounds was discussed at leDgth, and it is hoped that
within a few months such selection will be made.

The following named gentlemen were proposed for
and elected to membership: F. J. Stone, of Fresno-
Geo. H. Anderson, of San Jose; Dr. C. W. Hibbard of
San Francisco, and R. L. Jones, of the Hart Hotel
Santa Maria.

A vote of thanks was extended to Prof. Balmer for
his pervkxs to the club and for the efficient manner in
whi jh he judged the trials.

The following were noted amongst those in atten-
dance: J, E. Terry of Sacramento, Cap't Roland of
I? /ada, Geo. H. Anderson of San Jose, Mr. McCaffrey
oi San Luis Obispo, Mr. Mc Daniels of Paso Robles,
Hj'i. H. W. Keller of Santa Monica, F. W. Emery of

Buena Park, John H Schumacher and A. Marquis of
Los Angeles, Dr. Bagby, R. L. Jones, Thos. Cooper,
Mr. Elliott, Mr. Trott, Mr. Blosser, Dr. Lucas and
others of Santa Maria, Hon. W. W. Van Arsdale, J.
M. Kilgariff, H. T. Payne, Dr. C. W. Hibbard. Chas.
Douglas, Fred Butler, Geo. Whitney, W. A. Cutler,
Frank Maskey, T. J. A. Tiedemann, Albert Betz of
San Francisco, R. M. Dodge, Bakersfield, W. B. and
Fred Coutts of Kenwood, J. E. Lucas, San Rafael, C.
H. Babcock of McCloud and F. J. Stone, Fresno.

The genial countenance of Judge C. N. Post, one of
the organizers of the Club, who never failed to be
present at all previous trials, was greatly missed by the
members of the Club; official duties prevented his
attendance.

The Derby.

The draw for the Derby was held on Sunday evening,
January ]2th. But seven entries paid the starting
fee, and the order of running was as follows:

Clinton E. Worden's English Setter dog Wade Earl
with W. B. Coutt's Pointer bitch Kenwood Rose.

H. L. Batten's Eaglish Setter bitch Rod's Lark (in
the string of W. W. Van Arsdale) with W. B. Coutt's
Pointer dog Ned Funston.

F. J. Stone's English Setter dog Diana's Rodfield
with Stockdale Kennels' Cuba Jr.

W W. Van Arsdale's EDgHsh Setter dog Oakley's
Pride drew the bye.

Monday, January 13th. The morning was quite
cool, and weather conditions were more favorable than
had been expected. After a drive of a^tout six miles
the first brace was cast off in a field adjacent to the
river bed, the ground being extremely dry.

Wade Earl — Kenwood Rose: Cast off at 9:15, in sage
brush. Wade Earl was handled by John E. Lucas.
W. B. Coutt's handling Rose. Soon after going down
Wade Earl pointed a moment on running birds, which
he flushed. Rose followed with a point on a single,
being somewhat unsteady; then flushed and chased.
Wade made another point on a single during the heat.
Rose, however, had the better range and style, the
Setter evidently beiDg in poor condition. Ordered up
at 9:55. (Wade Earl later died while en route to the
kennels of his handler.)

Rod's Lark — Ned Funston. Down at 10:15, the for-
mer handled by C. H. Babcock, the latter by Coutts.
After amusing themselves for some time chasing rab-
bits Ned made a nice point and was quickly followed
by Lark with a snappy point. Neither dog was well
under control and they were an evenly matched pair.
They ran until 10:50 but no further bird work was
had. Both ! ad good range and speed. This heat
was run in the river bed where the going was rather
difficult.

Diana's Rodfield — Cuba Jr. Down at 11 A. M.,
Diana's Rodfield was handled by F. J. Stone, R. M.
Dodge having charge of Cuba, Jr. The dogs were
cast off in the river bottom where the going was rather
difficult. Both dogs displayed good speed and range,
the Setter for the first fifteen or twenty minute6 out-
ranging the Pointer and staying out better, but at the
end of that time he slacked up materially and the
Pointer had the better of the heat. No birds were
found, and the dogs were ordered up at 11:35.

Oakley's Pride (a bye). Handled by Babcock Dur-
ing the running of the Diana's Rodfield — Cuba Jr.,
heat, the byo dog, Oakley's Pride, was given a run of
thirty-five minutes on ground adjoining the river bank.
The judging was done by Mr. John H. Schumacher
and Mr. T. J. A. Tiedemann. Some point work was
done, one point on a single on the bank: of the river
being within view of all the spectators. His range
was but medium and he slowed up materially before
the end of the run.

This ended the first series and a bountiful lunch
which had been furnished by the hotel management
was partaken of.

SECOND SERIES.

This series was run on new grounds, northwest of
the scene of the morning's work, which were reached
after a four mile drive. More birds and better cover
were found and the work of the dogs considerably
improved. The first brace of the second series was:

Kenwood Rose — Rod's Lark. Down at 1:40. The
dogs were in heavy brush, where birds were plentiful,
but the work was rather poor. Few points were made.
Rod flushed and cnased, Rose doing likewise but being
steady to wing. Each dog was credited with a point,
but many opportunities were lost. Up at 2:20.

Ned Funston — Cuba Jr. Down at 2:32. Cuba soon
found birds and pointed in fine style, being steady to
shot. Ned backed honestly. Cuba quickly followed
with several more points and acknowledged wing to
flushed birds. Ned received credit for a point during
the heat. Cuba outclassed his opponent and put up a
fine heat, making no mistakes. They were ordered up
at 2:55.

Diana's Rodfield— Oakley's Pride. Down at 3 P. M.
Oakley was the first to come to point; no birds were
found. They had been seen to leave the ground over
which he was working. Rodfield made a beautiful
back while Oakley was on point. Rodfield was the
better in style and range, though neither did much
work and both missed chances. They were ordered
up at 3:50.

This was the last brace down for the day, and, as it
af tor wards appeared, the last brace in the Derby. At
the conclusion of this heat the judge inquired of the
handlers if any of them, objected to being put down
again, and objection being heard he announced that
no more heats would be run on that day. In this
series the dogs were in charge of the same handlers
who had them in the first series.

After dinner the winners were announced as follows:
Cuba Jr. first, Rod's Lark second, Ned Funston third.

Tuesday, January 14th. Conditions were even more
favorable than on the preceding day, the sun being
obscured by clouds, and a cool breeze blowing. Better
bird work was the order of the dav, though the dry-
ness of the ground somewhat interfered with the dogs
showing at their best. An early start was made and
the first brace was cast off at a point near where the
last heat of the Derby had been run.

Peach Mark II. — Count's Mark. This was the first
brace down, being cast off at 9:10. The former was
handled by Dodge and the latter by Babcock. Count
found first after being down but a few minutes and
pointed a bevy in a very creditable manner, being per-
fectly staunch when the birds were flushed. The doe\s
soon got into tangled brush and were brought again
to open ground, but though birds were seen no more
bird work was done. Count had the better style, bis
range however being rather limited. Peach Mark II.
appeared to be ailing and did not make much of a
showing. Up at 9:55.

Cuba Jr. — Northern Huntress. Down at 10:04, the
former handled by Dodge, the latter by Coutts. Cuba
was the first to find, pointing a bevy in comparatively
open ground in full view of the spectators. This piece
of work was much admired, as the dog caught the
scent while in the act of leaping over low brush and
staunchly held his point. Northern Huntress showed
better range than the Pointer, also staying out better,
and after being out of sight of the judge for some little
time was found on point. The birds flushed and she
was steady to wing. In this heat both dogs missed
opportunities to point, birds being plentiful and cover
good. Cuba had the better of the heat on bird work.
Up at 10:52.

Shadow — Bow's Son. Down at 10:55. The former
was in charge of Babcock, the latter in charge of
Dodge. Soon after being cast off Bow's Son came to
point and was nicely backed by Shadow. However,
no birds were raised. He followed this by pointing
and flushing a single. Shadow, while a speedy and
easy moving bitch, seemed unable to locate, though
many opportunities were given her. Up at 11:35.
Little work on birds in the heat.

Jacuba — Peach Blossom. Jacuba handled by Dodge,
Blossom by Babcock. Down at 12:32 in rather heavy
cover. Blossom, a very speedy and stylish bitch, was
soon out of sight in the high brush. She was found
by the judge in the vicinity where birds bad been seen
to flush, and upon sighting the judge stiffened into
point. Sent on scattered birds Blossom made a point
on a single and was staunch. Both dogs had flushes.
Blossom in range, style, speed and stamina outclassed
anything seen up to that time and had much the better
of the heat. Up at 1:05.

Lady — Cuba's Zep. Lady was handled by Coutts,
while Dodge looked after Zep. Cast off at 1:30 in
pasture land, covered in places by high brush. Zep at
first showed great speed and ran^e. He hunted with
a low nose, but worked diligently, having two or three
points on singles to his credit at the end of the heat.
Lady nicely backed one of Zep's points and both dogs
were steady to shot. Lady did not display anything
like her form of last year. Up at 2:07.

At the conclusion of this heat a move was made to
the river bed grounds, four miles nearer town, and the
first brace there put down was:

Nellie Wilson— Alec C. Down at 3 P. M. Nellie
Wilson handled by Dodge, Alec C. by Lucas. Nellie
Wilson was suffering from a stiff shoulder, but held
gamely to her work. The dogs were first cast off on
open ground, but soon worked over to the river bank
where the birds were hiding among the willows. In
this heat Nellie made a number of nice points, being
steady to wing and shot, and several times was backed
by Alec. She retrieved a bird which her handler

killed. Alec also had several points to his credit,
birds lying- close, but did not take advantage of all
opportunities offered. Alec had the better range. Up

* Dr Daniels— Pearl's Jingle. Off at 3:45. The Doctor
was handled by Babcock, Jingle by Lucas. They were
put down in open ground and at once started with
great speed and range. Both are stylish workers.
This was the fastest and widest ranging brace yet
down. After a gruelling race of forty-five minutes
without finding birds, both dogs showing remarkable
speed and range as well as stamina, often being from
one-quarter to one-half mile from their handlers, Dr.
Daniels found and pointed a bevy. He was so ex-
hausted that he dropped flat on his point, rising to his
feet when his handler approached. Jingle came up
and backed honestly. Both were staunch when the
birds were flushed. Ordered up at 4:20.

At the conclusion of the heat the judge stated that
in his experience he could only remember one or two
races where a brace of dogs had made a finer showing.

The bye do", Fan Go, handled by Lucas, had been
put down immediately after lunch under supervision
of Mr. John H. Schumacher and had two points on
sine-les to her credit. She had good speed and ranged

This concluded the day's sport; and in the evening
the judge announced that eight dogs would be carried
into the second series.

SECOND SEKIES.

Wednesday, January 15th. An early start was
made for new grounds among the foothills about eleven
mil's east of towD, where it was reported that birds
were plentiful and cover good. This report was veri-
fied when the grounds were reached. They were roll-
ing and hilly, altogether dissimilar to those which had
previously been used. Cover was good and birds were
there in abundance. It was, however, impossible for
teams to follow tbe dogs and thespectators either rode
or followed on foot, sometimes being able to see an
entire heat from some elevated position. Weather
favorable.

Dr. Daniels— Cuba Jr. Down at 9:40. Dr. Daniels
was the first to point on a single. A bevy was flushed
and it seemed that one or other of the dogs should
have located it. But little bird work was done although
many birds were seen. Dr. Daniels had better range
and stayed out better than Cuba, who did not show
as well as he did in his Derby heats. They were
ordered up at 10:45.

Count's Mark — Northern Huntress. Down at 10:o5.
Huntress first found and hunted a bevy, Count imme-
diately after pointing a single. He also made two
flushes but stopped to wing on each occasion. Huntress
had the better speed and range and worked better on
birds. This brace was down nearly an hour.

Peach Blossom— Pearl's Jingle. This was the first
brace after lunch, being put down at 12:35. Both
ranged wide and well and covered a great deal of
ground. During the heat both dogs had a point on
singles. Peach later slowed up and Jingle outranged
and outlasted her, while Blossom was the more stylish.
Little bird work was done, yet many birds were raised
by those following. This brace was also down nearly
an hour.

Fan Go— Lady. Down at 1:38. Neither dog showed
much speed or range in this heat. After being down
for some time Lady made a couple of nice points on
singles in gooi cover and was staunch. This was
about the only bird work done in the heat. Both dogs
missed opportunities.

THIRD SERIES.

Northern Huntress-Peach Blossom. This was the
only brace down in the third series, and it was evident
to those who had closely followed the trials that the
two bitches were running for third place Blossom is
better in style and range but was not the equal of
Huntress in bird work, the latter having three points
to her credit in the heat. This, in the opinion of the
judge, fully offset Blossom's superiority in style and
range. The dogs were in charge of the same handlers
throughout the series of the stake.

At the conclusion of the heat the judge announced
his decision as follows: First, Dr. Daniels; second,
Pearl's Jingle; third, Peach Blossom and Northern
Huntress.

The decision of Judge Balmer met with general
approval, and no criticism whatever was heard rela-
tive thereto.

Verona Cash, a handsome stylish little bitch, owned
by Armand De Courteux, is down with dropsy and
will probably soon succumb to the sickness.

The first two days' trials were held on the Oso Flaco,
and the third day on Section 16, southeast of town,
which was found to be the better location of the two.

Field Trial Notes.

The winning dogs in the All-Age at Santa Maria
last week are mentioned as follows by one of the gen-
tlemen present:

Dr. Daniels, winner of first, is a handsome, wide-
ranging dog, which hunts his ground with ease and
judgment and is high class in every particular. His
work has shown he is the equal of any of the Eastern
Pointers, and it is likely he will be sent on the circuit
next year.

Pearl's Jingle is also stylish and wide-ranging and
runs with a high head, although not as fast as Dr.
Daniels. The two Setters, Peach Blossom and North-
ern Huntress, are very much alike in color and size.
They can hardly be distinguished one from the other
while in action. Blossom, however, has a bit the best
of Huntress in style and seems a trifle more earnest
in her work, otherwise there seems little to choose
between them.

When Dr. Daniels and Pearl's Jingle were put down
it seemed as if the best had been kept for the last, tor
this brace of Pointers put up one of the finest races
ever seen in a field trial. They ran at a side-spliiting
pace for forty-five minutes, ranging from one-quarter
to one-half mile and finished with Dr. Daniels on a fine
bevy point, Jingle backing beautifully. The judge
complimented the handlers on the fine showing made
by the dogs.

Dustproof Harry, the irrepressible, had to be re-
minded several times during the heats that he was not
running the meeting; in fact, the judge once, in a
gentlemanly and courteous manner, suggested that
the club committee appoint one man to give orders
and direct affairs and he would know what to do. He
added, in deserved sarcasm, that until that arrange-
ment was made he preferred to and would do the judg-
ing himself. A jackass does love to eat thistles. This
diet is palatable and fattening to the jack himself, and
is also a source of intense amusement to the observant
genus homo.

Apropos of the insatiable habit of the "Special
Agent" to "butt in," we cannot refrain from recount-
ing the story of the eminent kennel authority when he
was honored by an unsuspecting and indulgent club of
Eastern sportsmen, who, to their lasting chagrin,
courteously allowed the Coast visitor to preside
in the saddle. The story told by the judge (?)
upon his return is entirely different from that
recounted by a Los Angeles sportsman, "who was
present at the Eastern Field Trials three or four
years ago and had, on his return here, an amusing
story to relate concerning the self-constituted Pacific
Coast authority on field trials. The Coast wise man
and field trial authority had attended the club trials
a year or two previously and being an unknown quan-
tity, save for the persistent heralding of his great
abilities, coming from his own spout and pen — he was
given the opportunity of acting as one of the judges.
'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.' When the
local Dogberry arrived here again his stories were
bombastic and grandiloquent and a few of those who
did not know him were inclined to think he was 'some
punkins on bird dogs.' The gentleman who pricked
the bubble on his return from Newton had heard noth-
ing but self-praising eulogistic stories and when he met
the Eastern sportsmen and spoke of our windy friend's
judging according to his information, he was heard
with astonishment which was followed by hearty
laughter. One and all the Eastern sportsmen were
unanimous in saying that the judging by our Coast
oracle was the most ludicrous exhibition of field trial
judging and absolute ignorance of the sport that it had
been their misfortune ever to witness. After what
they had been led to expect and understanding the
standard required of a judge of field trials, their in-
dignation and astonishment at the conceit and pre-
sumption of the Pacific star of dogdom was supreme.
Even at this day it is only neeessary to remotely refer
to the great man's work in the saddle to provoke the
sarcastic risibilities of those familiar with the history
of the trials that year. In mentioning this incident
we will be at the pains of explaining that we do not
refer to H. H. Briggs, who has judged several Eastern
trials with distinction and ability."

Fox Terrier Fanciers Meet.

The Pacific Fox Terrier Club held a regular meeting
upon last Monday evening at No. 41 Sutter street, N.
H. Hickman in the chair and Messrs. Harley, Moore,
Ford and Martin present. J. G. Morgan and J. L.
Cunningham of San Francisco and W. B. Fechheimer

recent Oakland show were distributed as follows: $5 to
C. K. Harley's Vibo: $5 to W. W. Moore's Vina Belle;
$5 to J. W. Murphy's Woodlawn Two-Spot.

Norfolk Valse) whelped July 15, 1901, to Vibo (Visto-
Egssford Dora) five dogs and one bitch.

2. C. K. Harley's Carmencita (Cambridge Punch-
Maybelle) whelped July 25, 1901, to Champion Aldon

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

A fine litter of Fox Terrier puppies is reported from
Wandee Kennels. They were whelped on December
29th last and muster two dogs and three bitches nicely
marked. The dam is Wandee Delight, she by Norfolk
Victorious out of Norfolk Tatters. The sire of the
youngsters is Vibo.

Dogs in India are subject to dangers from which
their English brethren are exempt. Colonel Anderson
of Worlee lost his favorite fox terrier, Lucy, under
somewhat peculiar circumstances. The bitch "spot-
ted" a fine big cobra making for the roots of a tree in
the Colonel's compound, and promptly dashed off to
kill the reptile. Unfortunately Lucy seized the snake
just as it had got its head into the hole, but rather
low down the reptile's back, and in drawing it out of
the hole to give it a shake and break its back, the
snake just managed to get its head round and inflict a
bite on the plucky little dog's cheek. Poor Lucy
rolled over on her side and died within a minute of
being bitten, and the snake got away into the roots of
the tree. It is gratifying to learn that the Colonel
had the tree cut down there and then, and after some
hours of steady digging the snake was unearthed and
promptly dispatched.

Another quite recent Indian dog story is the account
of a curious accident that befell a fine English Grey-
hound. This dog, with another, had been exercised
by the kennel boy, one being on the chain, the other
loose. The latter spied a young kid in a field, and be-
ing newly imported and therefore not used to the
Indian "Bakhri, " started off to course it. Catching
it up in a few strides the hound cleverly picked it up
and treated it as a hare in the most approved style,
threw it up, dislocating its spine and killing it on the
spot; but in so doing the hound also broke its own
spine, and whilst the kid rolled over on one side the
hound did ditto on the other, and both lay dead in the
field. The death of the hound appears to have been
caused in this instance through the weight of its
quarry being too much for the hound, and thus caus-
ing the dislocation and rupture of the spinal cord.

County Game Laws in Force.

The present State Game and Fish Laws are in force
and unchanged in the following counties:

Distemper has taken hold of a number of the dogs
that were at Santa Maria. It is believed the disease
emanated from a stable whereseveral dogs were placed
for a night or two when the handlers arrived at Santa
Maria. An ailment, distemper, it is claimed, was some-
what prevalent among the Santa Maria horses. The
theory has been advanced that the dogs caught the
distemper from the horses. It is a well known fact
that colts and horses are subject to distemper and
other similar sicknesses, whether it is transferable or
not, by contagion, from the equine to the canine, is a
matter we will not here attempt to go into, it is cer-
tain, however, that several good dogs died of dis-
temper, caught at Santa Maria, and some other dogs
are now down with it.

Hunting Notes.

On Tuesday next most sportsmen will have put away
their field guns until the fall open season is in again-
Those who still desire a few days' further shooting
will h ve an opportunity on English snipe and geese,
there being no close season on these birds.

The dry season has given the duck hunter many
chances for a good shoot. The birds left the dry in-
terior for the baited ponds and feeding grounds in the
marsh and tidelands contiguous to the bay shores, and
also the tule sections of the Sacramento and San Joa.
quin basins.

One of the best shoots noted for Borne time was the
lucky experience of James Maynard and a guest at
the Canvasback Gun Club's ponds on last Sunday.
The rain of the previous evening deterred the other
members from making a visit to their preserve. Results
the next morning proved that they had made a wrong
guess concerning the movements of the birds. Ducks
were plentiful enough to have allowed two guns in each
of four ponds with an assurance of the limit bag to
each shooter by 10 o'clock in the morning.

The party left the club house before daylight on
Sunday morning; walking down the railroad track
they soon reached the shooting ground. Maynard
selected Pond No. 1 for his shoot and leaving his guest
in charge of Keeper Dan Sweeney was soon lost to sight
in the darkness as he struck off to the right over the
sedgy morass, following a familiar trail to where his
boat was located. The other shooters soon arrived at
their rendezvous and taking a tule-splitter the two
push-poled through a short channel and across the
shallow pond, where the guest was soon installed in a
comfortable box blind and Keeper Sweeney then placed
out a big bunch of decoys, afterwards getting into
another box blind close to his companion.

Ducks were in evidence from the start, when the
two hunters left the track and walked ten yards to the
boats, their advent caused hundreds oi ducks to fly
away from the pond, in fact until it was light enough,
legally, to shoot, the presence of many birds was con-
stantly indicated by the whistling of their pinions as
they flew about in many directions. Tbe soft tenor
piping of the teal was answered by the guttural quack
of the spoonbill aud later on the spi iglail added its
querulous notes to tbe concert. Mudhens, impudent
and plentiful, were on hand at all times.

While the decoys were being placed out the teal
commenced to pitch into the water, alighting in sev-
eral instances within a few feet of the boat and its
occupant. During the morning teal would alight fre-
quently among the decoys and not more than twenty
feet from the concealed shooter, who had the oppor-
tunity of studying their movements and watching
them' for some little time. A number of doubles were
made by the shooter who suddenly arising in the
blind, the teal won] 1 take to wing, generally giving a
straight away shut and another easy one when the
bird selected for the second barrel would commence to
climb after the report of the first barrel.

Later on in the morning the sprigtails came in and
worked to the decoys in better style than they could
be trained for it, were such a thing possible. Flying
high at first and with craning neck and head carried
first to one side then to the other, the bird would
sweep around in two or three wide but diminishing
circles and then come in over the pond just about -
thirty yards high — when a careful sighting and proper
lead would enable the shooter to drop the bird right
in the pond. In this pond the limit was shot before 9
o'clock. Maynard also shot his limit in No. 1 pond by
8:30.

San Francisco Kennel Club.

At a meeting of the San Francisco Kennel Club held
on Tuesday evening the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: A. B. Spreckels, President; John
E. de Ruyter, First Vice-President; E. Courtney Ford,
Second Vice-President; N. H. Hickman, Secretary-
Treasurer; Chas. K. Harley, Director. The Board of
Directors will constitute the Bench Show Committer
which committee will appoint the superintendent for
the next bench show. The Superintendent, it is pro-
posed, will have full and complete charge of the busi-
ness and every detail pertaining to the arrangement
and conduction of the show, with the exception only
ot selecting the judge or judges.

The Bench Show Committee were to meet yesterday
for the transaction of some preliminary business,
selecting dates for the spring show and the appoint-
ment of a superintendent.

The selection of the judge or judges and also of the
superintendent ot the next show is speculative up to
this date, however we do not believe that we are
straining a point in mentioning the names of Mr. J. J.
Lynn as in line for Fox Terrier judging and L. A
Klein as judge of some other breeds. It would not be
a great surpri-e should Mr. Klein be requested to act
in the capacity of superintendent.

An effort will be made to have the show this year at
an earlier date than heretofore. It is claimed that, as
a rule, just about the time in May when our local show
is held many people have either lefttownor are getting

ready to go. If the show dates were made for two or
three weeks earlier, in April, this would induce not
only a larger entry of dogs but an increased gate
attendance.

The arguments advanced bv Mr. Hickman in this
respect we believe to be good ones.

The club might also take theinitiative in not follow-
ing another stereotyped custom, and that is, instead
of having a four-day show, to cut it down one or even
two nays. The most indifferent analysis of this prop-
osition is almost convincing that there is no necessity
out here for a four-day affair. The saving in expenses
of hall, light, help, etc., is alone a feature that should
make the innovation acceptable. Since the club has
been organized there has not been a single paying
bench show. Thore is no reason why the club mem-
bers should always be called upon to conti-ibute their
quota, or a part of it to the guaranteed fund. Bench
shows, under far less auspicious patronage and advan-
tages than the present club has enjoyed, have been
paying ventures in the past and under proper man-
agement could be again.

A number of prominent members of the club pro-
pose to send their dogs to the northern shows this
year, showing under P. K. L. rules. This is in a
friendly sportsmanlike spirit and will be done for the
mutual interest of Coast fanciers.

A communication from Manager R. M. Dodge, of
Stockdale Kennels, says: "Everything goes on nicely
here at the kennels, and I expect a fine litter of pup-
pies about the 23d inst. They are by Cuba of Ken-
wood-Petronella. She is by Young Jingo-Florida;
she is half sister to Cuba Jr. I expect to breed four
more bitches in a few days, and if the demand for
Pointer puppies keeps up I will have no trouble in
disposing of them. The Pointers are on top this year,
and if tbey keep on improving as they have in the
last few years the Setter will have to look out for his
laurels.''

Striped Bass Notes.

The sport of striped bass fishing will receive a new
impetus when the salt water enthusiasts become aware
of the big catches of the gamey fish oaught on Friday
by W. R. McFarland and on Friday and Saturday'
laft week, by Al M. Cumming. McFarland fished San
Antonio slough from 10:30 in the morning until about
3 P. M. and landed a catch of twelve fine fish. The
largest bass scalled 11} pounds. The total weight o
the catch was 80) pounds. When he left the slough
to catch a train for the city the fish were still eagerly
taking the trolling spoon. During the time these fish
wero caught, it was compai-atively low water — the last
of the ebb and the first of the flood tide. They were
all taken on a Wilson spoon.

Mr. Cumming and Frank Ireland were fishing in the
same water on Friday and at the time McFarland left
had not landed many fish. During that afternoon and
a part of the day following, the total catch was twenty
fish, which turned the scales at 116 pounds. Cumming
claims that the best time to hook the bass is the time
three hours before and three hours after low water.

A number of anglers will try San Antonio creek
again to-morrow for bass.

The San Francisco Striped Bass Club held the annual
meeting and banquet on Tuesday evening. A number
of prizes won during the past season were given to the
various successful fishermen.

Steelhead Fishing Notes.

The anglers on Russian river have had a merry
time of it up to the middle of the present week. The
record for two day's fishing, Saturday and Sunday,
we believe, was 92 fine fish. The female fish were full
of roe but were hardly ripe for spawning. It has been
a noticeable fact that of the comparatively few fish
which fought the anglers on the river, the females
were the ones who cut out the pace for the fishermen.
For some reason, unknown to the angler, the buck
steelheads this season show no more spirit than just
so many lumps of liver.

Since the seizure of the six nets by Deputies Cross
and Welch the fish have had an opportunity to go up
the river and loaf about the pools, waiting for the
rising of the river after the rains.

Another net was taken near the mouth of the river
by Cross on Sunday night last. The nets already
taken were worth several hundred dollars.

Last Sunday, in one pool the fish were striking in
nice manner. The first boats were soon joined by the
whole river flotilla, some twenty boats in all. The ex-
hilarating spectacle of nearly every rod being at work
at the same time, was a scene to warm the cockles of
an angler's heart.

Among the lucky fishermen who landed fish were.
Al Wilson and Alex T. Vogelsang, twelve fish; John
Butler and Frank Marcus, twelve; Hart Williams, six;
Mr. and Mrs. Davis, seventeen; M. J. Geary and

Donald McRae, nineteen; J. B. Gilbert, four; J. O'Neil,
five, L. Rondeau, eight. J. Gibson, ten on Saturday;
J. A. Pariser and James Watt, eight; O. W. Jackson
and Ed Painter five.

The rains this week will materially break up the
best fishing season on Russian river for the past four
years.

Several good sized steelhead have been taken out of
the ''White house" pool at Point Reyes recently. Re-
ports from many Coast streams showed that the run
of big steelheads was a large one, distributed over
most of the available streams.

The many friends of Secretary Horace Smith of the
San Francisco Fly-Casting Club will be pleased to hear
that the genial and esteemed sportsman was well
enough this week to take a trip down town in a cab.

Fishing at Bonnington Falls.

[J. MAYNE BALTIMORE.]

British Columbia affords a wide and fascinating field
to the hunter and angler. To the nimrod, there is
excellent hunting in many regions. British Columbia
is noted topographically for its many lofty and rugged
upheavals and the great expanse of its forests.

In the mountains and woods are found noble as well
as smaller game. Here are met the grizzly, bald-face
and silver tip bear, the stately and graceful caribou
other deer, the wolf, lynx, wildcat, wolverine and a
variety of feathered game.

But to the ardent angler, there is "ample scope" in
which he may fairly revel. There are all kinds of
fishing except ocean angling. Of course, along the
coast there is plenty of marine fishing; but we are
speaking with special reference to inland water sport.

Away from the Pacific Coast, British Columbia
abounds in rivers, smaller streams and lakes. None
of them are destitute of fish. On the contrary, the
waters teem with speckled beauties. However, it must
be said that of later years the fish in some sections are
very noticeably diminishing. Persistent fishing has
drained the finny resources of some of the streams and
lakes; and now vigorous efforts are being made by tho
authorities to put a check on the piscatorial "record
smaBhers. "

Probably one of the most favorite points in the
Kootnais for casting the lure is to be found at what is
known as Slocan Crossing on Kootnai river. This is
just below the famous Bonnington Falls on that stream.
The Kootnai is one of the most beautiful and pictur"
esque streams to be found in all British Columbia. It
is a large stream taking its rise in the Kootnai lakes,
and after many devious windings pours its clear, cold
floods into the lordly Columbia near the international
boundary.

Excellent fishing is found in the Kootnai lakes and
Arrowhead lake but the best point is found at Slocan
Crossing.

A branch of the Canadian Pacific Railroad extends
from the great mining town of Rossland up to Nelson.
This branch passes through the little smelter" town of
Trail, which is some eight miles east of Rossland.
Slocan Crossing is about forty miles from Rossland and
thirty from Nelson. The best point at which to fish is
is just below the last of the famous falls. There are
many large ragged rocks on both sides of the Kootnai
river where safe footing may be found. The water is
not very deep nor rough. At the proper season of
the year great and exciting sport may be had below
the falls. The fish rarely require any coaxing, they
will jump at a hook almost as fast as it is dropped
into the water. Both bait and flies are used. Trout
from eight to sixteen inches long are caught almost by
the ton. All, however, are not the "Simon-pure"
trout, a good percentage are salmon trout. They are
a beautiful fish, and many esteem them as highly as
either gennine lake or mountain trout.

The fame of the fish caught at Slocan Crossing has
spread far and wide, and there is an active demand for
them. The fish supplies for Rossland, Nelson, Trail,
Northport and other points come from the Kootnai,
and actual tons are caught and shipped to these points
during the season.

A number of persons engage in supplying fish to the
various markets during the spring and summer and
do a lucrative business. Still, the Crossing is a favorite
resort for the real sportsman — he who fishes for the
pleasure and excitement without any thought of sordid
gain or profit.

The place is easily, rapidly and comfortably reached
by rail. The region is a wild and picturesque one,
and the view afforded by Bonnington Falls a sublime,
magnificent one. Many during the heated term camp
out near the stream and spend days in fishing and
rambling though the woods and mountains which are
near at hand. It has become of later years a favorite
outing rendezvous. Large and small game are met in
those regions.

What has happened to the noble buffalo and other
game animals may yet be repeated of the fish at these
falls. Persistent and remorseless fishing will surely
ere long exhaust the supply. It is noted that fish are
growing scarcer each season. At no distant day even
Slocan Crossing will be literally "fished out."

The Dairy Business in Kings County.

[Hanford Sentinel.]
We have received a careful eBtimate as
to the amount of butter that was made in
this county, or from milk produced in this
county for 1901, and that estimate places
the amount at 620 000 pounds, which at
the average price realized amounts $142,-
600. The cheese factory has probably
paid to the dairymen for milk fully $25,000
more, making an estimated distribution
of money from the dairy for the season of
$167,600.

From thirty acres of ground in Lindley
district, near Pajaro, John E. Trafton
gathered 654i> sacks of potatoes — 218 sacks
to the acre. It is a wonderful showing
and it came in a year when Buch crops
count— when Bpuds are of high value.
The value of that crop is estimated at
about $260 per acre. The Pajaro valley is
not given to blowing, but as some of her
neighbors have been claiming records for
field crops during 1901 this section has
been offering a few "exhibits" in the way
nf enormous crops per acre of apples, ber-
ries, beets, onion?, potatoes, etc., just to
show that Pajaro valley is yet a leader
when it comes to crop records — and it ex-
perts lo retain that distinction.— Pajaro-

132,000 Deaths from
this alone.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright's Disease.
Posted clubmen understand this so well
that many have tests made every few
months- Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease andD:abces are increas-
ing at a fearful rate. The last census re-
ports show that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out or
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132.000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing this one fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now lositively
curable in about 87% of all ca^e - The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

STAJU B. is a fine and substanaial upstanding bay, 15.3 hands tall, weighs 1100 pounds, and now
rightly ranks among the most promising young sires of the land. That he is now in public service in
California is a fact for which breeders may be grateful. He is already proving a sire of speed and
gameness, together with size, superb style and high action, transmitting these qualities to every foal
regardlessof dam. He is acknowledged by all who have seen him to be very near the real and ideal
race horse and all-around sire. His racing qualities were beyond criticism, and all close observers
know that in his blood are represented the kings and queens of the trotting turf and show rings.

There is nothing like Asthmalene. It brings
instant relief, even in the worst cases. It cures
when all else fails.

The Rev. C. F. Wells, of Villa Ridge, 111., says: "Your
trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I can-
not tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it.
[ I was a slave, chained with putrid sore throat and asthma for
ten years. I despaired of ever being cured. I saw your ad-
vertisement for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting dis-
ease, asthma, and thought you had overspoken yourselves,
but resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment the trial
acted like a charm. Send me a full-size bottle "

We want to send to every Bufferer a trial treatment of
Asthmalene, similar to the one" that cured Mr. Wells. We'll
send it by mail POSTPAID, ABSOLUTELY FREE OF

The U. M. C. Co., U. S. A., have supplied me with large quantities of
gallery ammunition loaded with both round and semi-round bullets.

These have a small charge of black powder, and I should prefer this
ammunition for self-defense as well as for competition up to 20 yards, as I
find it the most accurate for exhibition shooting.

I think the U. M. C. gives slightly less recoil and fewer "unaccount-
ables" than the English equivalent.

They also load these cartridges with smokeless powder, which I have used and
with which I have made my bests on record in the rapid fire competition.

Palo Alto Broodmares at Auction.

Palo Alto's sale of brood mates' which came off as
per announcement at the' Occidental Horse Exchange,
on Thursday of this.week, showed very conclusively
that the revival of interest in the breeding of trotting
horse is something^ more than newspaper talk. At
least five hundred persons crowded the salesring and
buyers were present from all parts of the United States
and a few from foreign countries. The stock sold
wer.o,'all,rn that splendid condition so typical of every-
thing" that comes from the great Palo Alto farm, and
','t'hV prices received were good. The highest price
.'•/'received was paid by Mr. Henry Pierce, of the Santa
Rosa Stock Farm, for the Gen. Benton great brood-
mare Elsie, that had a five hours old colt by McKinney
2:11} at her side. Mr. Pierce's bid was $775 and was
made after C. A. Durfee had offered $750. Mr. Pierce
stated that he purchased the mare for Dr. Hamilton,
of Boston, Mass., who had telegraphed a limit of $1000
as a bid for the mare. Elsie is twenty years old and
one of the youngest looking animals for those years in
the country. She is the dam of Palita (2) 2:16, Rio
Alto (3) 2:16J and three more in the list. This mare
was a great bargain.

Bell Bird, yearling record 2:26], two year old record
2:22, by Electioneer out of Beautiful Bells, and a mag-
nificent individual 15.3 hands high and a beautiful
brown, went to the nod of H. S. Hogoboom of Sacra-
mento, who, it was rumored purchased for Mr. Fred
Raschen, a wealthy business man of the capital city.
Bell Bird is twelve years old and has been in the stud
since 1895, producing a colt that year by Dexter Prince.
In 1898 she foaled a colt by Wildnut and in 1900 a filly
by Dexter Prince. She is now in foal to Iran Alto
2:12}. Although she has not produced a standard per-
former as yet, she is comparatively young for a brood
mare and being a member of one of the greatest fami-
lies in the world colts and fillies from her will be valu-
able. Mr. Hogoboom immediately booked her to Nut-
wood Wilkes 2:161 and sent her to Nutwood Stock
Farm where she will be kept until dropping her Iran
Alto foal and then bred to Mr. Carter's great horse.
This should prove a speed nick and Mr. Hogoboom
has already had an offer for the result of this mating-

The twenty year old stallion Azmoor 2:20A went for
a low price, Rancho del Paso securing him for $210.
He will be bred to some of this farm's best mares this
year and will be a very profitable investment. While
Azmoor cannot be said to be fashionably bred, being
out of a thoroughbred mare, he would have been a
profitable investment for some one at three times the
money be brought.

[February 1, 1902

Barondale Has Arrived.

Meetings Announced.

It. begins to look as if the California circuit of 1902
will be the best seen in this State for years. The
Breeder and Sportsman received word from the
Napa Agricultural Society this week that the dates
August 11th to 16th were claimed by that association
and that within a short time twelve purses for harness
horses, ranging from $600 to $800 would be offered.

Secretary C. F. Thomas, of the Woodland Associa-
tion, also writes claiming the week prior to the State
Fair as the Woodland dates. Mr. Thomas says the
association will soon advertise two stakes of $1000 each
for the slow class trotters and pacers, to be followed
by one of the most attractive harness programs ever
offered by this popular association.

Bakersfield, the centre of the oil belt, will get into
the circuit this year, and the Secretary of Agricultural
District No. 15, located there, has officially claimed the
week prior to the Los Angeles meeting. Bakersfield
citizens will do everything in their power to make this
one of the best meetings ever held in California. The
driving club proposes to donate $2500 to the club, the
business houses of the town will add $3000 more and
the State appropriation of $2500 is available. This will
give a guaranteed fund of $8000, which will insure a
good fair and race meeting.

The State Fair will hold a two weeks meeting a
usual and if the Board's plan of no books on harness
events is carried out, trotters and pacers will have a
better chance than for many years past.

The P. C. T. H. B. A. will give one or more meet-
ings and the outlook is most favorable all along the
line.

Horse Show at Haywards.

The people of Haywards, Alameda county, propose
giving a horse show on the 8th of March this year for
the purpose of showing to the breeders of that section
and all who may lend their presence to the occasion,
the sort of stallions that will be in service this year in
Alameda county. The show, however, is not to be
confined to stallions, but all sorts of horses will be wel-
come to take a place in the parade. No prizes are to
be given, but the show is to be on the lines of the
historical Court Day in Kentucky, when horse owners
from miles around bring their animals to a county
seat or other town and show or offer them for sale.

The Haywards people will make the date of this
horse show a general holiday and will have a fine band
of music and other entertainment to amuse and edify
all who attend.

Mr. Geo. Oakes, editor of the Haywards Journal, has
been chosen Secretary of the Horse Show Committee
and all who desire information in regard to it should
address him. Further particulars will be g'.ven in
these columns later on.

Oakland Baron Sold for $17,500.

New York, Jan. 30.— Jacob Ruppert, Jr., bought
Oakland Baron, 10 years old, trotter, by Baron Wilkes,
dam Lady Mackay, for $15,700 at the Fasig-Tipton
•ate to-day. Oakland Baron is a brown stallion with
a record of 2:09]. He will be raced, but will also be
used for stud purposes at Poughkeepsie. Oakland
Baron was consigned by the Philadelphia Brewing
Company.

Lady Mackay, the dam of Oakland Baron, was bred
in California. She is by Silverthread, he a son of The
Moor out of Gray Dale (dam of Longworth 2:19) by
American Boy Jr., a son of Williamson's Belmont.
Lady Mackay's dam was Fleetwing, the dam of Stam-
boul 2:07.1. Lady Mackay is in the great broodmare
list, being the dam of Lucy R. 2:18}, Oakland Baron
2:091 and Semi Tropic 2:24

Tom James, formerly of Des Moines, Iowa, but now
a resident of San Jose, was pleased one day last week
when a car rolled into the Garden City depot contain-
ing his stallion Barondale 2:11}, two broodmares and a
colt. The latter is by Barondale and a very handsome
piece of young horseflesh. Barondale stood the trip
well and came out of the car as though he had not
been in it longer than overnight. He is a very hand-
some horse, and Mr. James, who was in this city last
Thursday, informs us that Barondale is on view at all
times and that he will be pleased to show him to
breeders or any others that admire a good horse.

Barondaloisoneof the best bred horses ever brought
to California and as Mr. James has put his stud fee
down to the very low figure of $40, there is no doubt
at all that the stallion's book will be filled very early.
Barondale has a race record of 2:11], obtained as a
four year old and made in the third and fourth heats
of a race. He was a good race horse and a good win-
ner, and although not put into the stud until six years
of age, has already produced race winners. He is by
Baron Wilkes 2:18, one of the truly great sires and
race horses. His dam is that great producing mare,
Nathalie (that is also the dam of Grand Baron 2:12],
own sister to Clarinda, dam of two, and half sister to
Prodigal, Patron and Patronage) by Nutwood; second
dam Beatrice, that prolific dam of speed and speed
sires, bv Cuyler: third dam Mary Mambrino (founder
of a great family) by Mambrino Patchen; fourth dam
by Embry's Wagner, thoroughbred, and thence on
through the best four-mile blood in the American
Stud Book.

A Protest Sustained.

Every secretary of a trotting association is embar-
assed and annoyed by the lax and slip-shod methods
of a certain class of horsemen in making entries.
These people are generally illiterate and fail to make
their entries correctly or in such a manner that their
purpose can be clearly understood. The wise secre-
tary will cast such an entry out or else send for further
information, but the too eager man will accept it and
supply its deficiences from his imagination. A case
before the Board of Appeals of the American Associa-
tion at its recent sessions shows how such a man is
liable to overstep himself. A horseman entered a
horse at a western meeting last summer in the 2:40
class, without specifying whether the animal was a
trotter or a pacer. The secretary, finding there was
no 2:40 class for pacers, placed the name of the horse
in the 2:40 trot. After the entry list was published
the secretary discovered that the horse was a pacer,
and permitted him to start in the 2:35 pacing class, in
which he won third money. A keen-eyed competitor
in the race notfd the fact that the horse's name was
not in the published list of entries to the 2:35 class and
protested the money. When the case came before the
Board of Appeals the above facts were brought out,
and the board promptly sustained the protest and
ordered the money redistributed. The owner of the
horse deserved to lose his money for his slovenly way
of making the entry, and it would serve the greedy
secretary right if he was compelled to lose the en-
trance fee. — Ex.

Of the eleven trotters that were added to the 2:10
list in 1901 only four started the season with records
better than 2:12; three had records better than 2:15
and not so good as 2:12, two had records better than
2:30 and not so good as 2:15, and two had no records
at all. Those of the latter class are Eleata, that
trotted to a record of 2:08J and Captor that went into
winter quarters with a mark of 2:09}. The greatest
reduction of record shown by any of the newcomers to
the list was by May Allen, that lowered her previous
mark of 2:25 to 2:09], a reduction of 15| seconds, and
All Right is next, having reduced, his record 10 sec-
onde, from 2:19} to 2:09}. The best showing, made by
the green class was by Eleata 2:08J, Captor 2:09}.
Country Jay 2:10], Col. Cochran 2:lo}, and Neva Sim-
mons 2:11}. These trotters not only distinguished
themselves by taking fast records, but are numbered
among the largest money winners of the past season.
Eleata is not only the fastest green trotter of 1901, but
was, all things considered, the best race mare seen on
the Grand Circuit last season.

Boralma2:07 has about the biggest contract to fulfill
of any horse that will be out this year. To defeat two

given to Hercules.

The early closing events for Readville's Grand Cir-
cuit meeting are: The Massachusetts, 2:12, trotting,
$10,000; The Blue Hill, 2:30, trotting, $5,000; 2:24, pac-

2:25, 2-year-olds, trotting, $2,000.

A good broodmare should have size for the offspring
is influenced largely by the dam in this respect, and
she should have a cheerful and pleasant disposition,
with plenty of vim. If she has speed all the better for
the foal, but one cannot get a good driver out of a
sluggish stumbling dam,

William Harold 2:13.1, sire of that great race mare
Janice 2:08$. winner of the big race at Memphis last
year, will make the season of 1902 at the Meek Farm,
Haywards, at $40. This is one of the most promising
sires of extreme speed in America.

That old time Grand Circuit trotter, So Long 2:13.1,
formerly a bread-winner for Budd Doble and W. J.
Andrews, has been sold by H. G. Kilkenny of Lowell,
Mass., to W. S. Adams of North Chelmsford. The
son of Erelong is now 20 years old.

One who has been down the big line several times
says: " Don't monkey with the Grand Circuit unless
you know your trotter can put iu five heats in 2:12 or
better and your pacer can last through a long race
where the heats are all better than 2:10."

George Starr will campaign Emma Winter by Di-
rectum on the Grand Circuit this year. Since she
took a three-year-old record of 2:14J iD 1890 Emma
Winters has developed wonderfully, and Starr consid-
ers her one of the highest class mares now in training.

Rosa Sprague, the dam of McKinney 2:11}, will have
another grandaughter in the list this year barring
accidents. The dam of Fereno 2;10f has a four year
old by Allie Wilkes that is said to be the pacing
wonder of Yarmouth, Mass., and capable of a 2:10
record.

Twenty-three head of Mr. Billings' horses are in
training at Memphis, including Lucille 2:07, Little Boy
2:0U, Franker 2:11, Mazette 2:04.J, Hontas Crook 2:07$,
Free Bond 2:041, Frazier 2:07i, Dr. Monical 2:09$, Cap-
tor 2:091, Battleton 2:09$, Dv. Book 2:10, Jaymaker
2:15£ and Louise Jefferson 2:17$.

"The Brighton Beach plan," which is the name
given by the Eastern journals to the plan that sends
all horses to the stables thatdo not win a heat in three,
is being exploited as a new thing. The California
State Agricultural Society has followed this plan for
several years with success and satisfaction.

Fred W. Thompson of this city, who for several
years held the position of Secretary of the Golden Gate
Park Driving Club, has again been chosen to fill that
position. Mr. Thompson is a painstaking and efficient
officer, and very popular with the members of the
club. A better choice could not have been made.

At the time Directum was purchased by Mr. Savage,
of Minneapolis, he also bought a weanling filly by that
horse, hU dam being Janie T. 2:14, as a two year old.
They have been leading it some since getting it home,
and have discovered that it has mor6 speed on the trot
than a pacer they have with a record of 2:22, it having
on several occasions been able to outfoot the pacer in
question,

While book-betting has always been subordinated
to auctions and mutuals on the Eastern trotting
tracks, it has been getting in its deadly work until
there is a general outcry against it from horsemen
and turf writers. It would be a good thing to abolish
the evil altogether, and the N. T. A. and A. T. A.
could do no better act than to make a rule prohibiting
book-betting on harness races.

Ashland Wilkes heads the list of sires of new stand-
ard performers for 1901, with twenty to his credit.
Axtell stands second with fifteen and McKinney third
with twelve. Allerton, Direct, Expedition and Sphinx
are next with ten each. Of the forty-three sires with
five or more to their credit, all but six have standard
records. Breeding to trotters seems to be the popular
and successful plan of getting them nowadays.

To become a successful trainer requires the most ex-
cellent judgment, the greatest amount of skill and an
almost perfect knowledge of the horse, his disposition,
temperament and constitution. The work that one
horse must have to condition him would kill another,
and to make this distinction requires an ability pos-
sessed by few in the business. Those that do possess
it have risen to the front rank in the profession.

C. K. G. Billings has announced his intention of
sending the world's wagon pacing champion Little
Boy 2:0H, against Star Pointer's record of 1.59}.
Scott McCoy, trainer of the Billings stable, will be
allowed to race Little Boy against Star Pointer's long
long standing mark. The attempt will be made at one
of the grand circuit meetings, and if unsuccessful an-
other attempt will be made at the fail meeting at
Memphis.

It is stated that Mr. E. E. Smathers purposes to
start Lord Derby in the matinee races this summer,
and that he will endeavor to wrest the Boston Cup
from Harry Devereux. It will be necessary for Mr.
Smathers to belong to a matinee club that is a mem-
ber of the League of Amateur Drivers before he can
participate in these events, and it is probable that he
would be ineligible to compote for the Boston Cup in
any event.

Bell Bird, daughter of Electioneer and Beautiful
Bells, sold for $750 at the Palo Alto Sale. She went to
the bid of H. S. Hogobo?rn of Sacramento, who im-
mediately booked her to Martin Carter's groat stallion
Nutwood Wilkes 2:16$, sire of John A. McKerron 2:06j{
to wagoD. and the foal will be worth two or three times
the amount paid for the mare. Belle Bird is now in
foal to Iran Alto 2:12',, and this foal will be worth a
lot of money. Mr. Hogoboom has for many years
been one of the most energetic and enterprising horse-
men in California and though he has had his share of
bad luck and probably a little more, be has never
cried quits but is still in the ring. That he is on the
right track now is as certain as taxes.

Mr. M. E McHenry, the reinsman whose name and
fame are intimately associated with Anaconda, Search-
light, Dan Patch and a host of other equine celebrities,
writes Mr. E. J. Tranter, as follows, viz: "Replying
to your letter of Jan. 2, will say when we left Califor-
nia with the Keating string of horsep, the spring of
1899, Agitato could beat both Searchlight 2:03J, and
Anaconda 2:01i{. and had he not been taken sick nt
Denver, I think he would have won every race he was
entered in."

It is said that Senator Frank Jones, proprietor of
the Maplewood Farm in New Hampshire, will never
be able to attend to business matters again, as after a
long and severe attack of pneumonia he has been
attacked with softening of the brain, from which there
is no hope of relief. No sadder news has been received
in the circle of horsemen than this. Mr. Jones is onn
of the most intelligent, progressive and enthusiastic
breeders of harness horses in America, and his loss
will be a most serious one.

Secretary W. H. Gocher has sent out official not* e
that the biennial meeting or congress of members nl
the National Trotting Association will be held at the
Murray Hill Hotel, New York, at noon, Wednesdav.
February 12. 1902, in accordance with Article VIII,
Section 1 of the By-Laws. In accordance with a reso-
lution adopted at the congress in 1898, the committee
on credentials will meet at the Murray Hill Hotel, at
10 o'clock A. M., on Wednesday, February 12, 1902, to
receive credentials from delegates. Any proposed
changes in the rules should be sent to the secretary tc
be submitted to the rule committee.

At the Walnut Grove Stock Farm there are five
three year olds by Nushagak that will compare favor
ably with the same number by any one horse in Amer-
ica. One is out of the mare Nosegay by Langton and
trotted in a workout last August a last half in 1:124,
last quarter in 34 seconds and last eighth in 16$ seconds
There is also one from the mare Woodflower (dam of
Prince Ansel 2:20 and Seylex 2.15JJ that has trotted a
quarter in 38 seconds with very little work. The
others are just as good considering the work given
them. The Nosegay and Woodflower colts are both
in the Occident and Stanford Stakes for 1902.

A handsome beveled-edge card containing a photo
graph of the stallion Rey Direct 2:10 and four of his
yearlings has just been printed for Geo. A. Davis of
Pleasanton, owner of this fast and good looking son of
Direct 2:054. The picture is a true likeness of the
horse and yearlings and no handsomer family ever
posed before a camera. Rey Direct is at Los Angeles
for the season and is having quite a number of very
choice mares booked to him. That he will produce
extreme speed is as certain as anything can be. He is
one of the most vigorous sires in California, as is
proven by the fact that thirty-one mares bred to him
in 1900 produced thirty-one foals.

The 15th Agricultural District, comprising the
county of Kern, will give a fair and race meeting this
year during the week preceding the Los Angeles meet-
ing, and has put in a claim for *;hat date. The Bakers-
field Driving Club will donate $2500, the business men
of Bakersfield $3000 more and the association has a State
appropriation of $2500. With this amount of money
in sight there is not a doubt about the success of the
fair and purses will be offered so as to attract all the
best horses in the State. Bakersfield is one of the
liveliest towns on the Pacific Slope, is in the centre ol
the oil belt and a thriving, booming place. The
Bakersfield fair will be a hummer.

Maggie N. by Hambletonian "Wilkes out of Anna
Belle by Dawn is now in the hands of C. F. Bunch at
San Jose and bids fair to be the best of Anna Belle's
foals. The daughterof Dawn has produced the trotter
La Belle 2:10 and Robert I., one of the fastest green
pacers in California, and this statement in regard to
Maggie N. is made with knowledge of the facts.
Maggie N. is the property of Green Meadow Stock
Farm, Santa Clara. This farm has also turned over
to Mr. Bunch for training Dexter Wilkes by Hamble-
tonian Wilkes out of Balladina, trial2:15, by Gladiator,
next dam thoroughbred. This young horse is one of
the best prospects in tbis part of the State

The Wisconsin Association of Matinee Driving Clubs
was organized in Sheboygan, January 8th, by about
twenty-five representatives of the gentlemen's driving
clubs of the State. The following officers were elected :
President, W. E. Tallmadge, Sheboygan; Vice-Presi-
dent; A M. Murphy, Green Bay; Secretary, T. M.
Bowler, Sheboygan; Treasurer. Fred Carney, Jr.,
Marinette. Directors — W. S. Carpenter, Menominee;
F. B. Desnoyes, Green Bay; J. H. Keith, Manitowoc;
R. L. Whitehill, Sheboygan; Charles Fose, Appleton,
and W. H. Ellis, Milwaukee. Board of Appeals — Fred
Carney, Jr., three years; M. H. Murphy, Manitowoc,
two years, and F. B. Desnoyes, one year. Six clubs
signed the agreement.

There is undoubtedly something to be said on both
sides of the proposition to shorten the distance in all
races over mile tracks. In races between fast horses
which have become classed it is of course as fair for
one as for another, and tho owner whose horse by a
slight mistake lands behind the flag in one race, can
hope for better luck the next time. It is in the colt
stakes and futurities that a shorter distance is likely to
prove harmful. These races are supposed to be given
for the purpose of encouraging breeders to persevere in
a business which at the best is one of many disappoint-
ments. Under the present rule very many of the races
prove a walk-over, and in quite a large percentage
some youngster, by distancing the field, gets the whole
purse. This is all right lor the fortunate owner, but
the others who have been to the trouble and expense
of breeding and training their youngsters with tho
hope of winning at least a part of the purse are likely
to become discouraged and give up breeding a

The Breeding of Bloomsbury.

The mystery supposed to enshroud the breeding of
The thoroughbred stallion Bloomsbury (sire of the
phenomenal Josie G.) on the dam's side of the house,
has been cleared away, thanks to the splendid memory
of the great California turfman and breeder of "the
days of old, the days of gold," Achilles F. Grigsby of
Napa, Cal.

In a letter to the writer, Mr. Grigshy takes one back
to the year 1850 or 1851. when the gold excitement in
this State was at its fiercest and when the tide of
immigration was at its highest stage. The search for
California's principal product, however, had been so
absorbing that the possibilities of this section as a
racing or breeding center had been well nigh over"
looked, the result being that Mr. Grigsby and the
brothers Williamson, owners of the great Belmont
(sire of Mamie Langford, Owen Dale, Dashaway and
other celebrities of after years) were among the very
few owners oF thoroughbreds in this State, and '-quar-
ter horses" were consequently the rage. Thinking
•that this, the land of gold and sunshine, would be an
excellent part of the world in which to make a good-
sized upile," David Hughes of Kentucky, a veteran
racing man, sent his son Andrew across the plains
about the year 1850, with a bay mare by Trumpetor
(son of Sir Solomon and a Hickory mare) out of Sophy
Wynn, by Blackburn's Whip; second dam Sophy
(Old) by Blackburn's Buzzard and third dam by Col-
umbus; fourth dam by Meade's Celer, and fifth dam
an imported mare. Sophy Wynn was owned until an
old mare by Dr. E. Warfield of Fayette county. Ken-
tucky, the man that bred the immortal Lexington and
many others of note. The supposition is that Sophy
Wynn passed into the hands of David Hughes along
about 1837 or 1S38, that Mr. H. was a man not particu-
lar about registering his thoroughbreds, in fact, at
that day there was no American Stud Book, and he
may not have been at all prominent as a breeder and
racing man, or might have lived in an obscure portion
of the Grand Old Commonwealth. The Stud Book
(see vol. 2, page 320) shows that Sophy Wynn had
foals by Trumpetor when she belonged to Dr. War-
field and thau she had foals the date of whose breeding
was not known

This bay Trumpetor mare, afterward called Old
Sopha, was brought across the plains to California by
the adventurous young Kentuckian, Anarew Hughes,
who, upon his safe arrival in the land of gold, dis-
covered that thoroughbreds were exceedingly scarce
and that the only kind of race he could engage his
mare in was at a quarter of a mile or quarter mile and
repeat. As she had a high turn of speed. Old Sopha
was entered in these turf events, and ran with no little
success, and it was only natural that turfmen and race
goers of that era like Theodore Winters, should re-
member her as ;'a quarter mare."

Notwithstanding this belief, Mr. Grisby, who after-
ward purchased her of Andrew Hughes, did so with
the knowledge that the mare was not only a thorough-
bred, but a well bred one into the bargain He has
preserved the pedigree as given him in writing by
Andrew Hughes in the early fifties, and sent me a copy,
which read: "Old Sopha's sire Trumpator, he by
Solomon, dam Hickory, second dam imported mare
Trumpetta." (ft should be Sir Solomon and dam by
Hickory, but it served to identify the mare neverthe-
less.) Then it went on: "Old Sopha's dam Sopha
Wynn, by Blackburn's Whip, second dam by Buzzard;
third dam by Columbus," which is exactly correct,
according to the stud book compiler, Col. Bruce.
After her racing days were over Old Sopha, as the
Trumpator mare was known, was bred to several thor-
oughbred stallions, among the number Bulwer, a gray
horse by Grey Eagle from Julia Ann, by Medoc. She
foaled, late one November, presumably about 1856, a
wee gray filly called Deuces, which, on account of its
coming into the world two months before it should,
was at a great disadvantage in a racing way. How-
ever, Deuces was trained for Mr. Grigsby and raced
some, and sent to the stud, was bred in 1800, to Dash-
away, a superior race horse of the early sixties by
Belmont out of Lady Davis, by Red Bill (son of Medoc.)
The result of this union was Cheripe, a bay (illy, foaled
1861. J. S. Gibson, then, as now, of WiUiams, Colusa
county, saw Cheripe as a yearling, and purchased her
through Mr. Grisby's trainer, Jim Merritt, and she
was entered in one or more races by Mr. Gibson in
1864.

Langford, the first really great racer bred in Cali-
fornia, a son of Williamson's Belmont and Liz Givens
by imp. Langford, was owned in his older years by the
late Hon. John Boggs, of Colusa county, who was ever
an ardent lover of racing and race horses and a rider
of no mean reputation in his young days. Mr. Gibson
bred Cheripe (the daughter of Dashaway) to Langford
in 1874, and in 1875 she foaled a bay filly, which was
ealle i Lady Langford. The last-named was bred to
Tin ,/6 Cheers (then owned by W. M. Murry of Sacra-
liljo) in 1892, and in 1893 she foaled Bloomsbury, a

bay colt of beautiful proportions and which as a two
year old proved a veritable speed marvel, defeating
the best horses of any age in training in this State over
the shorter routes. Bloomsbury has proven as phe-
nomenal a sire as he was a racer, but as Mr. Gibson
bad not been careful in the matter of .-egisteriug bis
horse's dams, and had not secured evidence enough to
satisfy the Stud Book registrar that he was a pure
thoroughbred, the matter was pla2ed in my hands for
investigation, the result being that through tbe kind-
ness of Messrs. A. T. Grigsby and Theodore Winters
(the latter owned Deuces and bred Queen bv Norfolk
from her) I have been able to place evidence before
the American Stud Book Registrar which I hope and
believe will enable Mr. Gibson to register Bloomsbury 's
progeny from imp. Czarina as thoroughbreds, which
they undoubtedly are. The pedigree of Bloomsbury
therefore now reads:

Bloomsbury, b s. foaled 1893. Sired by Three
Cheers (son of imp. Hurrah and Young Fashion, by
imp. Monarch).

1st dam, Lady Langford, by Langford.

2d dam, Cheripe, by Dashaway.

3d dam, Deuces (Lady Mace), by Bulwer.

4th dam, Old Sopha, by Trumpator.

5th dam, Sophy Wynn. by Blackburn's Whip.

6th dam, by Blackburn's Buzzard.

7th dam, by Columbus.

8th dam, by Meade's Celer.

9th dam, an imported mare.

Ralph H. Tozer.

Race Horse and Sire.

Size of Thoroughbreds.

Tt has been a very general view that the race horse
has increased considerably in size during tbe last hun-
dred years. There was reason to allow that tbe late
Admiral Rous was correct in stating that it was a hand
from about 1760 to 1860, the date, or very nearly so,
when the Admiral wrote his well known letters, says
"Augu^" in Sporting Lift. There have been several
changes in the last forty years, and those who have
watched racing closely may have seen that there are
more big horses and mares than could have been found
at the date in question, but, generally speaking, there
have been more bad horses produced from this multi-
plicity in size.

Take the yearlings sent up for sale, or located in the
racing stables from private studs, the large majority
will be over 15.2 before they reach the age of two years.
This means another two inches in growth before they
are two years and a half, and so the average size
would be 16 hands, with many considerably over.

There is certainly some advantage, on the rule that
a good big one is better than a good little one, but
then in former times where there was one good big
one there were five good little ones. In giving that
estimation there seems more reason why the better
leveloess was maintained before the first half of the
last century than now, as big horses of their day like
Lottery, who stood 16 hands, had better chances with
small mares. Good little horses were quite plentiful
during the twenties and thirties, as there was Little
Red Rover only 14.3, Perion not quite 15, Middleton

15.1, Camel under 15.2, Mulatto the same, Gainsborough

15.2, Lamplighter 15.1 and many others.
Touchstone, of whom there was a beautiful drawing

by the senior Herring some three weeks after he won
the St. Leger, isdescribed by the great artist as medium
size, which, I suppose, would be 15.2, and truly the
great Westminster horse set the stamp on our thor-
oughbreds. Mated to a tall, somewhat leggy mare
like Crucifix, he got them bigger than himself, as is
noticeable in Surplice, and still more so in Pontifex,
brother to Surplice, as tbe latter was a very big horse
indeed.

At the same time, though, Pontifex came back to
regulation size when mated to probably half-bred pony
mares on the Welsh border, as he got beautiful hunt-
ers when so located, and the pretty little horses, Flash
in the Pan and Heidelburg, the latter a perfect picture.
In and out for size, the Touchstones were of the great-
est use to the country, as even the little Flash in the
Pan, wbo was not more than 15.1, got magnificent
weight carrying nunters. worth from 400 to 700 apiece.
So it was with all the descendants of Touchstone, as if
they happened to be of the commanding order, like
Atherstone, they invariably got level stock.

A writer in the London Sportsman picks for the win-
ner of the English Derby this year a colt called Cup-
bearer. He is owned by the Duke of Westminster and
is being trained by John Porter, who has already
trained a half dozen Derby winners. Tbe colt is by
Orme, son of Ormonde, and out of Kissing Cup by
Hampton. Porter is training sixty horses at the
present time and Cupbearer is said to be the best one
of the entire_lot.

Few stallions in America attract the attention from
breeders that Diablo 2:09} did last year. His son, Sir
Albert S. 2:08], was the champion of the California
circuit, and bis daughter Diodene 2:10} was the cham-
pion pacer of Oregon and Washington. Tags, a
daughter of his that went East, was a big winner and
reduced her record to 2:1]} El Diablo, a son, raced
well, won a large amount and lowered his mark to
2:12], while six of the Diablo's entered the list during
the year and quite a number that raced lowered their
former records. Diablo had a reputation as a champion
race horse and sire of great speed prior to last year,
and the performances of his get simply added to it-
He made a better season in the stud than ever befort'
got a better class of mares and more of them than in
previous years and for the first time in his life got a
really good start as a sire. This year he will attract
to his court some of the best mares in California and
that his fame will increase from year to year is now as
certain as fate, tie has to his credit in the 2:15 list
Clipper 2:06, Sir Albert S. 2:08|, Diodene 2:10}, Daeda-
lion 2:11, Diawood 2:11, Tags 2:11}, Hijo el Diablo 2:11A,
El Diablo 2:12} and Inferno 2:15, with a half dozen in
sight this year.

It has been claimed in the columns of this journal
for several years past that the only trouble with the
Diablos was their extreme early speed, which so many
trainer* are unable to handle. Permit them to reach
the age of maturity before giving them hard cam*
paigns and they will prove iron horses. Flesh and
bone can stand only a certain amount of strain, but
when some of our trainers get possession of a colt that
can show a 2:20 gait as a two year old, they imagine
that miles at that rate of speed is beneficial. There
arc a dozen Diablo'sin California that would have had
records below 2:15 had they not been worked to death
as colts. There has never been a horse standing for
service in this State whose produce showed speed with
more uniformity, and whenever his colts and fillies are
way wise they seem anxious to show speed of a high
order, and being very ambitious will show too much of
it unless restrained. Nor has any stallion ever begat
more good looks and style than Diablo. Who ever
saw a real homely colt by this horse? And as for his
breeding, there is none better anywhere.

His sire, Charles Derby 2:20, was a fast racehorse
and is a great sire, as he has produced three in the 2:10
list. His grandsire, Steinway, held the champion
three-year old trotting record, and has produced a son
that still holds the three-year-old pacing record —
Klatawah 2:05A — besides three others in 2:10. Charles
Derby's dam was Katy G. by Electioneer, one of the
greatest of sires, and she is one of tbe greatest of
broodmares, having produced five with records from
2:054 to 2:25.

The dam of Diablo is the great broodmare Bertha.
She is the dam of five that have fast records — Diablo
2:09J, Elf 2:12$, Don Derby 2:13A. Ed Latferty 2:163
and the colt Jay Eff Bee that took a yearling record
of 2:26A. Bertha is by Alcantara, a sire of 149 in 2:30,
a son of George Wilkes and the great broodmare Alma
Mater, dam of 8 in 2:30. Bertha's dam is Barcena, a
great broodmare; her grandam is Blandina, a great
broodmare, and her great-grandam is another great
broodmare. No stallion can show a more extended
list of great producing stallions and mares is his pedi-
gree than Diablo.

When it comes to conformation and good looks
Diablo is right up in the front ranks, even when the
Apollos of equine beauty are on parade. There is not
a qualification desirable in a sire that he does not pos-
sess. It is a pleasure to note that in his new home in
Woodland, Yolo county, where be made a season last
year and will be located in the future, he is highly
appreciated. Already mares from all parts of the
State have been booked to him, although his fee has
been raised to $50 for the season of 1902. Those who
breed to Diablo can rest assured that they could not
have selected any better bred stallion, better individ-
ual or better sire, had they looked the country over.
Send to his owner, Wm. Murray, at Woodland, for
Diablo's tabulated pedigree and terms.

Hardly a day passes but one hears of a big price
being refused for a colt or filly by MoKinney 2:11}.
There is no stallion in America whose get is more in
demand.

We wish to call attention to the advertisement of
the Oakland Carriage and Implement Co. in to-day's
issue of the Breeder and Sportsman. Mr. Stein,
the manager of this firm, is a lover of the trotting
horse and spares no pains to secure the lightest and
easiest running wagons and the neatest harness that
are built in the United States for his patrons. This
firm has tbe agency and keeps in stock the celebrated
Faber sulkies and speed wagons and they have now on
exhibition a 50 lb. Faber piano box buggy which is the
finest and lightest speed buggy ever built. Horsemen
will find everything that is necessary to get to the
front, of the very best quality and at the most reason-
able price* at this popular Oakland establishment.

Like all good things, Jackson's Napa Soda hasa
dozen counterfeits. Watch out !

To Be Mated With Cresceus 2:02 1-2.

A Confidential Query.

. Mr. C. A. Harrison of -Los Angeles, owner of the
mare Little Maid 2:18, gives the following- interesting
information about his mare which has been sent East
to be bred to Cresceus:

"Little Maid made her record in a winning race to
high wheels at Portland, Oregon. She is by Rock-
wood, he by Fleetwood and he by Happy Medium.
Her dam was Pocahontas by Hambletonian Mambrino,
sire of Caryle Carne 2:11£ and many other good ones;
second dam by Black Stranger, son of Gen. Knox;
third dam by Waterloo, the first trotter with a record
ever owned in. Oregon; he was a Morgan horse and a
good one. Little Maid has paced a quarter in 30 seconds
for me and snown me that she is a mare of excep-
tional speed and disposition as a road mare. I never
8iw her equal. The pleasantest vacation I ever had
was the two weeks I drove her on the San Francisco
speedway, and I failed to find a roadster that could

0 Jtstep her, and I also failed to find one in Los Angeles.

"In shipping her away to the Ketcham farm I did
not mean to deprecate any of the sires of California,
as I consider that this State has as many first-class
stallions as any State in the Union, with possibly a
few exceptions. I selected Cresceus as I consider him
the greatest trotter it has ever been my pleasure to
see, and besides I thought as Little Maid was the fast-
est pacer I ever drove or owned, and this being my
first attempt at raising a fast one, I would select the
fastest and most popular stallion. I am sure Little
Maid will be a speed producer, as I own her son,
Printers' Ink by Altamont, and in sixty days' work I
drove him a mile in 2:26£. I then turned him over to
I. C. Mosier, and in two weeks' work he trotted a mile
in 2:22|, last half in 1:10J-, last quarter in 34 seconds
and last eighth in 16 seconds; so I guess in breeding
the Maid to Cresceus I may get a fair proportion of
the speed mixture. It is my intention to race Printers'
Ink the coming season. I will nominate the prospect-
ive young Cresceus in all the best stakes. A colt or
filly without stake engagements is a poor investment.

1 believe it behooves all California breeders to patron-
ize the Breeders Stake, the Occident and the Stanford.
Yours truly, C. A. Harrison."

A Speed and Stop Check,

An ingenious little device that is proving a boon to
over-burdened horses and is bringing woe to many a
careless, dilatory or brutal driver is to be seen nowa-
days od the delivery wagons of many big mercantile
houses, breweries and truck companies of New York
and other large cities. In these days of sharp com-
petition and good wages it is essential to the success of
large business enterprises that the greatest possible
service be obtained from men and horses alike, but
wise employers, who take pride in their handsome de-
livery animals and pay tidy sums for stanch horseflesh,
find no economy in overworking their draught ani-
mals. But try as they would, the managers of many
business concerns having fifty or a hundred or more
horses found it almost an impossibility to place the
responsibility for abuses until the "speed and stop
check," or indicator, of which there are several pat-
terns, came into the market to aid the work of the
Bergh Society, delivery superintendent and stable
bosses.

Now, if Fritz or Patrick stops at his favorite saloon
to play a game of pinochle with his cronies and then
compels his horses to make up the lost time afterward,
it is all indicated on the "speed and stop check,"
modeled after the fashion of the cyclometer of bicycle
fame. The indicator is about the shape of an ordinary
alarm clock, with a face about five inches across and
divided by minute and hour lines. A clock hand
moves continuously, but another dial is so arranged
that it records only while the wagon moves, stamping
each quarter mile as it is wheeled off. The indicator
is attached to a rear wheel, and if a driver stops the
time hand goes on, but the distance marker does not.
With the numberof miles traveled, the time consumed
and the stops all indicated, it is easy for the employer
to tell at a glance if his horses have been overdriven
and if the driver has been attending to duty promptly.

Barb Wire Cuts.

The following is said to be the best treatment for
horses that have been cut by barb wire: If cut severe
tie short in stable to keep from biting cut, and fill
immediately with common salt. If required to wash,
U3e very strong salt brine; sprinkle salt in until it is
healed nicely, as it will commence to do shortly.
Never use any grease or greasy salve on cuts on
horses. This is just as good for any cut on horses.

"Tribe" or "Family."

It has become a common practice among writers of
trotting turf literature to designate certain breeds of
horses as "families," as for example, the Wilkes
family, the Electioneer family, the Pancoast family
and the rest, writes "Wirelight" in the Kentucky Stock
Farm. Tribe is the better word, for in a strict sense
stallions are not the founders of families, that being a
prerogative of the dam. As applied to the human
race it is an accepted theory that the "mother rules
the family, the father the house." It is a well settled
principle among breeders of thoroughbred horses that
the honor of founding a family belongs to a particular
mare. The Levity family furnishes an example.
Levity was a mare by the imported stallion Trustee
and the family founded by her is one of the most cele-
brated known to the running turf. The name of her
sire is never mentioned in connection with her family
or its descendants. A family supposes the closest
alliance; a tribe supposes no closer relation than that
created by a common interest. Family is confined to
a comparatively small number, while tribe is a term
of extensive import. Hamburg is a descendant of the
Reel family, and while he was sired by Hanover, by
Hindoo, he belongs neither to the family from which
Hanover came nor to that from which Hindoo sprang-
Each of the three horses named descended from a
different family, as equine families are reckoned, and
necessarily so, for the polygamous habits of a stallion
renders it impossible for him to become the founder
of a family.

The systematic breeding of the light harness horse
does not date back far enough to make it possible to
properly classify many of the trotting families, and it
will not be attempted here, but to illustrate the idea
it may be stated that the tribe commonly known as
the "Pancoast family" is in truth the Mary Mambrino
family. This mare was sired by Mambrino Patchen,
dam Belle Wagner, and from Mary Mambrino we
have Beatrice, dam of Patron 2:14J, Prodigal 2:16,
Patronage (sire of Alix 2:03J), and of the dams of
Patriot 2.24, Grand Baron 2:12i and Baronda'Je 2:11};
Elvira 2:182, dam of Ponce de Leon 2:13 and Queens-
ware 2:25; Marcella, dam of the dam of Marcus 2:21, etc.
The named produce of Mary Mambrino and the
produce of her daughters and grandaughters properly
belong to the family founded by her and should be so
classed in her honor. But while Patron, Prodigal,
Patronage and Ponce de Leon are descendants of the
Mary Mambrino family, it cannot justly be claimed
that a colt sired by either of them is necessarily a de-
scendant of the same family, unless it can be shown
that the colt traces in tail line to Mary Mambrino.
Thus, while Ponce de Leon is a descendant of that
family, his daughter Prelatess 2:15J is a member of
the family founded by Primrose, the line of descent
being Black Rose by Tom Teemer, Primrose by Ab-
dallah, Primula by Connaugbt, Primacy by Belmont,
Prelacy (dam of Prelatess) by Lord Russell. From
the same point of reasoning Alix could not properly
be placed to the credit of the Mary Mambrino family,
albeit she was a daughter of a descendant of that
family.

The time will come when writers for the turf press
and compilers of catalogues will give honor where
honoris due by naming the trotting families after
their real founders. In that time we shall hear Im-
petuous 2:13 and Extasy 2:111, spoken of as the de.
scendants of the Kathleen family instead of the Dic-
tator or the Baron Wilkes family, as the case may be.
and the Alma Mater, the Midnight, the Betty Brown,
the Millionaire, the Miss Russell and the Waterwitch
families will become as familiar to the public as the so-
called Electioneer and Wilkes families are at the pres-
ent time.

Getting Ready at Aptos.

Down at the pretty half-mile track at the Spreckels
Farm near Aptos, Santa Cruz county, Sandy Smith
began work a few weeks ago on twelve young horses
bred at the farm, and this week took up a dozen more
to put in shape for the Fasig-Tipton May sale at
Cleveland.

Among them is a chestnut mare by Dexter Prince
out of a mare by Antevolo, grandam the dam of Crown
Point 2:17.,, that will be one of the greatest show mares
ever led into the ring whenever she is entered in a
horse show. She is a beauty and Sandy stands ready
to go broke if there is anything that can outshow her.
Besides, she is an M. i- M. candidate and at Cleveland
will show as much, speed as anything offered at that
great speed sale. No better gaited one ever wore a
trotting harness.

Venus II 2:11} was a very handsome and speedy
mare but she has a full brother in this lot that
marched a quarter in 40 seconds after being driven
two or three times, and he was never handled a day in
his life until Sandy took hold of him last month.

A full brother to Czarina 2:13|, is one of the most
level headed geldings ever driven, and is a striking
contrast to bis fast sister in disposition although be
shows all the speed she did, and more at the same age
having trotted quarters in 35 seconds already.

A pacing queen is a filly by Cupid 2:18 out of Graeie
S., the dam of Dione 2:07}. This is as slick gaited a
pacer as any man ever saw and can step a quarter in
35 seconds or better right now. She was never
handled until this winter.

Of the twelve that Sandy is working on there is not
one that has a blemish or any unsoundness, which is a
good showing to start on.

Aptos Stock Farm turns out as great a proportion of
good lookers as any farm in America, due in a great
measure to the abundance of feed given the colts while
growing, and the fact that they have many hills lo
climb while young makes them strong in wind and
limb. The greatest money winner of last year, while
bred at Palo Alto, was sired by the Aptos Stock
Farm's stallion Dexter Prince, and there are quite a
number of his get, fully as promising, that are to go
to the Cleveland sale in May.

Thomas W. Lawson has engaged the services of
Tom Marsh, late of Maplewood Farm, Portsmouth,
N. H.( as trainer and driver for the coming year.

Diodine 2:10} Dy Diablo 2:09} was the sensation of the
Splan sale at Chicago and brought the highest price —
$2050. Diodine was bred and raised in this State, and
purchased three years ago, when she was a three year
old, by Dr. Powell Reeves, of Seattle, who afterwards
sold her. She took her record at North Yakima,
Washington, last fall. Her purchaser is Peter Truax,
of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, who will place her in the
hands of Charles De Ryder to campaign, and he in-
tends entering her in the fast pacing classes on the
Grand Circuit. Eastern horsemen say that Diodine
looks very much like Edith W. 2:05.

A Plain Business Proposition.

There are numerous ad van tages to be gained th rough
a judiciously displayed advertisement of a first-class
harness stallion. Very few owners but what believe
they have a good stallion — a prominent sire already or
the making of one; a stallion bred well enough to mate
with the best mares within reach and one that should
be afforded ample opportunity to demonstrate his
superiority. Nearly every owner with whom we have
been acquainted entertains a belief similar to the
above. Such a belief is natural and to be commended,
for one must believe in his own stallion before he can
expect the public to think well of him. A suitable
advertisement, judiciously placed, calls the attention
of horsemen (everywhere) to the fact that you have a
horse worthy of being advertised; that you have a
good horse — one that you believe in and one that you
want everyone else to believe in. The fact that you
advertise him is ample evidence of the faith you en-
tertain. It also demonstrates the fact tbat you want
to cultivate a similar faith in owners of broodmares.
Few men will continue advertising a stallion tbat they
have lost faith in; the public has long ago recognized
this fact and prefer doing business with the enthusiastic
owner. And. again, a judicious advertisement locates
the stallion with the public, and they naturally lock
to the locality in which he is owned for colts or aged
horses sired by him. Many a good sale has been
brought about in just this way. Not long since a
business like owner told the writer that his stallion
advertisements had always paid him in the number of
sales made through them. Theadvertisement located
his horse, its continued publication attracted the
attention of buyers, and numerous sales were the
result. As a general proposition, it does not pay to
hide the identity and location of a good stallion. Such
a horse should be kept before the public, in season and
out of season, during good times and bad times. It is
money well expended, this thing of judiciously adver.
tising a well-bred and promising harness stallioD.—
WeaU rn Horseman.

Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda.

Lively times are promised at the meeting of the
stewards of the Grand Circuit, at Detroit, the last of
this month. The trouble is likely to come over the
assignment of dates. The Detroit Association is likely
to insist upon opening the Circuit this year the 3a Die
as usual, and tbey also wish to hold their meeting a
week later than last year, which unless some one of
the tracks which expect to be in line are frozen out
will probably push the dates of the Eastern members
ahead, and it is not expected that they will stand for
this.

WASHINGTON JOCKEY CLUB which holds its
meetings at the Bennings track, advertises
several stakes to close Saturday, February loth.
There is added money in each and every instance none
receiving less thau $700, the highest being the Grand
Consolation 'or two year olds, to which the sum of
$2500 is added to the stakes. Entry blanks to these
stakes can be had at this offica.

by the late J. B. Chase, proprietor of the Sonoma
Stock Farm, who, probably more than any other
prominent California breeder, established the founda-
tion of his breeding theories on the lines of blood that
could go a distance at extreme speed, and it will be
noticed that the names of the famous four-milers, Katy
Pease, Joe Daniels, Thad Stevens, Wildidle and other
great long-distance performers, appear in the pedi-
grees printed in the catalogue. To this blood he
brought some of the best imported blood ever brought
to California from England and Australia, and the
success that marked his efforts shows plainly in the
list of race winners every year.

From the Chase paddocks have cr-me Hidalgo, who
won many memorable races both at the East and in
California; Gilead, winner of the Thornton and other
stakes, and conqueror of Rev El Santa Anita, Haw-
thorne, etc.: DeBracey, who beat the best three year
olds in the Middle West and California and ran a mile
in 1:40; Monterey, one of the crack two year olds of
1894, sired by Hidalgo: Marigold, who ran a mile in
1:41, two miles in 3:30.! and four miles in 7:20], the
world's race record for mares; Centella, winner of
twelve races and $9565; Kildare, winner of more than
twenty races; Morven, a heavy winner on the flat and
over the sticks; Del Norte, who broke the Coast record
at a mile and a sixteenth: Top Gallant, winner of four-
teen races and "in the money" on fiity-three occasions:
Horatio, a good two and three year old: Phoebe Ann,
a winner East and West; Mischief, a stake winner
and producer: Glen Ellen, a winner and phenomenal
producer; Mystery, who won three Derbys and took
the measure of Geraldine and Acclaim: Manzanillo,
won two races at Sacramento in 1898 and defeated the
famous Libertine; Rebecca, a winner and one of the
most wonderful producers alive; Marian, her sister, a
good winner and the mother of Sir John, Sykeston,
Lady Marion, etc., and Modwena, a stake winner, and
many others. Many others might be named, but
these are sufficient to show ihat speed and also endur-
ance of the highest quality have come from the
Sonoma Stock Farm.

Of the trotting stock little need be said. They were
bred as a side issue, and it was always the idea of Mr.
Chase to make good looks and size his principal aim in
breeding horses of this description. The blood of such
handsome horses as Saladin, Antevolo, Buccaneer and
Secretary will be found in the pedigree of these horses)
and many fine individuals are in the consignment.

All the thoroughbreds of this consignment have
been carefully registered with The Jockey Club, and
as there are broodmares, yearlings, two. three and
four year olds, breeders and turfmen should certainly
be able to secure something to their liking in the lot
to be offered, for they are members of the best known
racing families in this part of the world.

A LIST OF STAKES to be run at the spring and
autumn meetings of the Westchester Racing As-
sociation at Morris Park will be found among the ad-
vertisements in this issue. Entries for the same will
close Saturday, February loth. Entry blanks can be
had at this office. For the spring meeting there are
three stakes for two-year-olds, four for three-year-olds
and eight for three year-olds and upward, to all of
which there is added money from $1200 up to $3700. A
good list of steeple-chase and hurdle stakes is also
advertised. The autumn stakes for two and three
year olds are rich events, added money ranging from
$2000 to $4000 in each stake. Remember, entries close
February loth.

A GOOD CIRCUIT IS ASSURED to harness horse
owners in California this year. Already dates
have been claimed by the principal district associations
and announcement of purses will be made during the
current month. Napa, Woodland, the State Fair and
Bakersfield have claimed their dates and first class
meetings wiil be given at each place. Other announce-
ments will be made within a few days. It is very
probable that racing will begin during the latter part
of July and continue until the latter part of October.
There will be at the very least calculation twelve weeks
of racing for purses from $300 to $1000. This is better
than any other circuit west of the Rocky mountains
will offer, and also better than the majority of circuits
over East. The Grand Circuit offers many big purses
it is true, but it takes speed of the very highest order
and horses of iron constitution and gameness to win
expenses over there. California's racing seasonis held
in weather that cannot he excelled anywhere on earth.
Horses are not prostrated by heat nor compelled to
race in the mud. Good days and good tracks can be
depended upon. If there is nobookmaking on harness
races in California this year it will be the most success.

Rate of Speed for One Eighth Mile.

Trainers are beginning to work their trotters and
pacers for the season of 1902, and the following table
of reference will come handy to many. In it the rate
of speed per eighth of a mile is shown for miles from
three minutes down to two minutes, so that a glance
at the figures shown at aDy part of the mile will give
the rate of sDeed at which the horse was driven:

IT IS DUE BREEDERS, who mated their mares
last year, that the stallions patronized by them be
nominated in the Special Stallion Stake offered by the
State Agricultural Society. Unless a stallion is nom.
inated, his foals of this year cannot be entered in this
stake, and as it will be one of the richest stakes ever
given for three year old trotters and pacers there will
be a general desire to name the foals in it. It is due
breeders who patronize stallions that they have every
opportunity offered them to place their colts in stakes.

Now that Lucile 2:07, Mr. Billings' champion wagon
mare of 1900, is going sound, and Chain Shot 2:061.
Lord Derby 2:06i and The Monk 2:08] are in the hands
of gentlemen who take an interest in the amateur
game, general attention is again centered in the prob-
ability of John A. McKerron 2:06| holding the honors
as the wagon champion. Reports from Walnut Hall
Farm, McKerron's winter quarters, indicate him to he
in superb condition. Messrs. Burgoyne and Benyon
speak of him as having a monumental appetite this
winter and an unequaled capacity for everything eat-
able that comes his way. He has taken on a great
amount of flesh and is full of life and vim. McKerron
and Lucile will have a marked advantage over the
other contestants — should they contest — in receiving a
special preparation to wagon, while Lord Derby, Chain
Shot and The Monk will be asked to pass through the
grueling process of the campaign with little opportu-
nity to point them for the amateur wagon champion-
ship.— Horse Beview.

Iran Alto 2:12] has been credited in many ol the
papers, this journal among them, with being the sire
of the fastest four year old gelding of 1901, Thomas
R. 2:15. The honor really belongs to McKinney 2:11],
whose unsexed son El Milagro took a race record of
2:14] last year. The writer with many others thought
that El Milagro, who is out of the dam of Margaret
Worth 2:15, was a stallion, but we learn that he is not,
so the four year old gelding record of 1901 should be
credited to him.

In none of the tables of the big money winners of
the year which have been compiled has the name of
The Abbot appeared. This is because his winnings
were in special races or for exhibition miles. As a
matter of fact, the ex-champion trotter won more
money during the season of 1901 than any animal on
the turf with the single exception of Cresceus 2:02].
At Brighton Beach he got $5000, notwithstanding the
fact that he was distanced by Cresceus. At Readville,
although again defeated by the chestnut stallion his
winnings were $10,000. At Hartford he got S1000, at
Terre Haute $500 and at Lexington $5000 forfeit
money because of Boralma's non-appearance, owing to
sickness. This makes $21,500 which he won for his
owner without winning a race. Mr. Scannel thinks
that the gelding will prove a good -investment. He is
but eight years old and is in the best of condition this
winter.

Monochrome is the name which John Rowen of
Emeryville has selected to have his four year old stal-
lion registered under. Monochrome, as his name sig-
nifies, is of solid color and is a beautiful bay by Mc-
Kinney 2:11] out of Hattie, the dam of Monterey 2:09]
and Montana 2:16. He stands 16.1 and has never been
worked for speed on account of his size, but is a very
fast coit. He will make a limited season at Stockton
this year at $30.

Zombro at Los Angeles.

The book of Zombro 2:11 is filling very rapidly at

Los Angeles, where this horse is now located until
June 1st, and the colts and fillies by him are attract-
ing so much attention that the probabilities are that
Mr. Beckers will be compelled to turn mares away.

This week Jos. Desmond, of Los Angeles, sold his
Zombro filly Italia 2:231, winner of last year's Occident
Stake, to Mr J. Murray, of Cleveland, Ohio, for S1500.
Italia will remain in Walter Maben's care until May
1st, when she will be shipped to Cleveland and placed
in the care of Chas. Tanner, one of the leading train-
ers and horsemen of America. If she has no accidents
and stands the climate she will be entered in the
M. & M.

Willard Stimson, of Los Angeles, sold this week to
John Bradbury, of the same place, the Zombro colt
Lord Kitchener, trial 2:261, for $1000 in cash. Lord
Kitchener's dam is Sarah Benton by Albion, second
dam by Inca. The colt is in Walter Maben's string
and will be put in training.

The cream of all the Zombro's in Los Angeles, it is
said, belongs to Col. E. L. Mayberry. She is out of

The prices offered for Zombro youngsters is the
proof of the horse's popularity and breeders are tak-
ing notes accordingly.

Many a well bred trotter is sent into the sale ring
and sold before his or her true worth is suspected and
in many instances the breeder would pay a good price
to recover some of these rejected ones. The stallion
The Peer, sire of last season's good trotter, Dave
Hughes 2:151, was early in life docked and is some,

of the very few foals he sired before he had his tail cut
off, as a part of his preparation to make a high stepper
of him. Another one that was sent to the sale ring
from Village Farm, before it was suspected that she
would become very valuable some day, was Court
Lady, an own sister to the now famous Lord Derby
2:061. She was sold as a carriage mare and she is
doubtless engaged in pulling someone's carriage,
although all trace of her whereabouts has been lost.
Lots of men would give a big price for her to use as a
broodmare, but the chances are that none of those
who would like to own her will be able to find her. —

The stupendous magnitude of the business done at
the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, is shown by last
year's official reports, which gave for the twelve
months a total of 16,200,000 head of live Btock at cash
sales amounting to $200,000,000. The horse market
was established in 1866, and that year a total of 1553
horses were received. An idea can be formed of how
this branch of the business has grown, by the fact that
on May twenty-fifth last, more horses were received
on that one day than were received the entire fiiet
year. The total for 1901 was 109,390 horses and mules,
the sales amounting to $13,128,000. The largest num-
ber for one day was 1667, and the largest number for
one month 13,288. the month of March.

KENNEL HYGIENE.

A popul l* fallacy exists that feeding of milk to
puppies produces in them worms. Like all other
forms of animal life, intestinal worms can only come
into existence from pre-existing parents, and in their
case, through the medium of eggs developed from other
worms. Therefore, the only way the administration
of milk could cause the presence in the intestines of
these parasites would be by their eggs getting into the
milk between the time it is drawn from the cow and
imbibed by the puppy, as worms do not inhabit the
milk glands. But this is hardly likely, as milk above
all articles of diet is preserved as clean and pure as
possible nowadays.

What really happens is as follows: Eggs of worms
are probably widespread over the ground. Puppies
are all the time getting matter from the surface of the
ground into their mouths, and at the same time
swallow some of the eggs lying about.

No doubt milk is sn ex3ellent nutritive material for
worms as well as for their host, and in this manner
milk will cause worms already existing in the bowels
to rapidly thrive and grow. But this is no argument
against the use of milk, as by the time puppies are
through taking it they should be treated to bring
about the expulsion of the parasites.

Many text books and kennel publications advise that
bones should be given "in order that the dog may
keep his teeth clean."

This theory io contradicted by Dr. Cecil French, a
well known Eastern authority on veterinary matters,
who believes that bones are not only useless, but fre-
quently a menace to the dog's safety, claiming that in
an extended practice among ailing dogs he has had
numerous opportunities of observing the ill effects of
a diet of bone. How a dog can clean his teeth by
gnawing a bone is somewhat beyond comprehension.
The Doctor argues, that which constitutes uncleanli-
ness of a dog's teeth is the accumulation of tartar
owing to the derangement in the salivary secretion and
small particles of food. This matter is invariably
found deposited in between, at the posterior surfaces
and around the necks of the teeth, where any rubbing
process of bone against the tooth is impossible. If
bones were such excellent tooth-cleaners it is presum-
able that poor persons unable to afford the luxury of
tooth brushes would avail themselves of such inexpen-
sive substitutes.

On the other hand, bones are splendid tooth wearers.
One need only look at the teeth of some dog that has
habitually gnawed bones to be convinced that these
organs would have been in a better state of preserva-
tion had he not so used them.

But the ill effects do not stop at this. Splintered
bones frequently wound the walls of the stomach and
set up violent gastric inflammation which may ter-
minate fatally.

Sharp bones — especially those of chickens — it will
be remembered the death of Glenwood Kennels' smooth
coat bitch Belline, last year, was caused by a chicken
bone — often become lodged in the throat or wedged in
the teeth, from which positions they are removed with
difficulty. Dogs have been destroyed by ignorant
policemen and others, the poor animals were supposed
to be suffering from rabies, when they were making
frantic attempts to dislodge bones from their jaws. Old
dogs commonly suffer from impaction of the rectum,
so that only operatives measures will effect the removal
of the obstructions. These are found to consist largely
of bone grit that has failed to become dissolved or
digested in the stomach and on reaching the rectum
packs into a rock-like mess.

tically discarded, and the fox, on go;ng to earth, is
allowed to remain.

For all that, the fox terrier should not be allowed to
degenerate into a purely fancy breed, and though
straight legs and clean fronts are very nice to look
upon, yet they are not everything in a breed that is
intended to be a worker. The old Parson Jack Rus-
sell strain of terrier was — and looked — a working one,
yet it has been practically allowed to die out. There
are but very few (we only know two) fanciers that
hold any of the hunting parson's strain of fox terriers.

The judging at the fox terriers' own show, at Chel-
tenham, last November, was a revelation to upholders
of the big type of dog, and the judge's work was very
freely criticised. There the awards went to the
smaller type of dog. However, fashion in dogs has
ever been fickle, and it now remains to be seen whether
a complete return to the old love — namely, an alto-
gether le^s leggy type of dog will result. It will be a
trifle hard upon those who have founded kennels upon
the type hitherto most favored, and have been taught
to regard it as the correct one, to find themselves
suddenly shut out of the competitions by reason of the
large size of their dogs. Yet that is exactly what will
occur should the fiat go forth that the maximum
weight must be lowered considerably. — HGorydon" in

Size in the Fox Terrier.

Signs are not wanting that there is likely in the
near future to be a change in the size of the fox terrier.
Upholders of the popular variety as a working dog
have for years decried the modern craze for a big dog
on the score that it was unsuited for the purpose that
it was at one time required for. In the kennel terrier
of old, from which the modern dog has undoubtedly
descended, we had a less showy animal, but one that
was better calculated to perform the allotted duties
than the present day type. True, customs have
changed somewhat since it was the fashion for a fox
terrier to be included with the pack of foxhounds, to
oust, if necessary, Reynard from his underground re-
t'.eat. Now the services of the fox terrier are prac-

Is the name of an institution in Hollister that is
successfully managed by Mrs. Thos. Murphy, who
knows more about dogs in a minute than the average
man learns in a lifetime. From childhood Mrs. Murphy
has taken an interest in canines, and beginning on a
small scale has worked the business up until she has
become an established authority on stock, pedigree,
etc. The kennels are situated upon the corner of East
and Seventh streets. The star of the kennels is Dan-
stone's Pride, a two year old English Setter, by Count
Danstone out of Fairland Queen, imported from the
East at a cost of $200. This dog has already earned
its cost in stud fees. Two handsome Scotch Collies are
boarded for San Francisco fanciers. A Pointer bitch
with a litter of puppies, the property of the editor
of the Breeder and Sportsman, are also on board.
The puppies are bred on Glenbeigh-Rip Rap blood
lines and are a constant source of attraction to our
local sportsmen. A fine breeding of Fox Terriers has
been developed at the Gabilan Kennels. They are not
handsome animals, but they are great ratters. There
are also Skye Terriers and Cocker Spaniels in the ken-
nels. All the dogs are w- 11 fed and kept in healthy
condition. In March an importation of Gordon Set-
ters will arrive from the East, most of which have
been bargained for by sportsmen. A visit to the ken-
nels is full of interest — 8cm Benito Advance.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

Joe Cummings' Boy by Ch. Joe Cummings ex Grace
Grady was recently sold by Mr. S. Christianson to Mr.
J. A. Chanslor, of Los Angeles. Mr. Christianson also
sold to a visiting New Jersey sportsman a promising
Setter puppy by Joe Cummings' Boy ex Kitty R.

Mr. W. C. Ralston's recent purchase, a promising
young English Setter, Bowling Green, whelped August
12, 1900, by Count Danstone out of Phil Wand's Flora
W., has gone the way of all good canines. The young
Setter died at Kenwood last week, much to the regret
of his owner.

Five more Newfoundland dogs have been oought by
the prefect of police of Paris to re-enforce the two
already possessed as auxiliaries to the river police
brigade. The mission of the dogs is to save persons
from drowning and also to help the police discover
malefactors concealed in the numerous hiding places
on the quays. Experiments show that the dogs, if
properly trained and looked after, can be very useful.

In the selection of Mr. T. J. A. Tiedemann as a mem-
ber of the executive committee, the Pacific Coast Field
Trials Club is to be congratulated in obtaining the ex-
perienced services of a thorough sportsman and of
having among its list of members a field trial pro-
moter and enthusiastic lover of high class dogs whose
prestige would be an acceptable feature to any sports-
men's club. Mr. Tiedemann was the moving spirit in
the formation of the Pacific Northwest Field Trial Club
and is the owner of that handsome and consistent per-
former Northern Huntress, one of the few winning
Setters at the recent Santa Maria trials.

necessary attributes will no doubt tend to a smooth and
easy settlement of the thousand and one preliminary
details that ai*e essential in making a dog show satis-
factory to the club, exhibitors and the general public.

The club will open to-day an office at 138 Mont-
gomery street, Occidental Hotel building, to where all
communications should be addressed. Mr. Klein will
assume complete direction of the coming bench show.

You must not expect to breed all winners, even
though you pair together champions.

There is not an insurance company that accepts
policies on dogs except at a prohibitive rate.

The eyes of old English Sheepdogs vary with the
color of the dog. In a pigeon-blue dog a wall, or
China, eye is correct.

The "feather" of any dog is the loDg hair which
grows at the back of the fore and hind legs and along
the body underneath.

You ought alwa'*s keep your dogs and cats nights
where they will not disturb the sleep of your neighbors
and so come in danger of being poisoned.

You ought always to kill a wounded bird or other
animal as soon as you can. All suffering of any creature,
just before it dies, poisons the meat.

You should not harbor poor breeding stock. A good
specimen eats no more than a bad one, and is more
likely to produce what you are seeking.

The ears, as a rule, grow with the head, out in the
case of a Spaniel they grow feathering after the ear
proper and head are full grown, and drop a little also,
making them longer.

Measurements in any dog are of very little guide to
its merits, and less so in puppies, which may be one
thing at four months old and something entirely differ-
ent at nine months old.

It is not right to think any sort of food good enough
for your stock If you want them to thrive give them
the best food procurable, and plenty of it. You will
get best results from this method of treating them.

You should not be above taking a bit of advice from
old hands. If you desire to succeed in your hobby you
will be able to use all the wrinkles you can pick up
when mixing with those who spent many years in
learning what they know.

It is quite customary for bitches to secrete milk in
the glandular organs at the time they would be duo to
whelp, though never served by a dog, or when served
and miss proving in whelp, just the same.

The Bedlington Terrier is a very hardy variety. Its
chief points are narrow skull, powerful jaw, neck
rather long, narrow chest, arched loin, good top knot
and small eye. Average weight, dogs, 23 to 24 pound?;
bitches, 20 to 22 pounds, when full grown.

Striped Bass Club Prize Winners.

At the banquet of the San Francisco Striped Bass
Club last week ten prizes were distributed to the ten
club members who caught during the past season the
ten largest striped bass.

The prizes awarded were all useful and beautiful
articles dear to the angler's heart and doubly valuable
to the lucky fisherman by reason of the competition
which was necessary for acquiring a club trophy.

G. Luttrell led the chosen ten with the record of a
sixteen pound fish and was presented with the Ripley
"high hook" gold medal, to be worn by the club
champion, and the regular first prize, a fine split bam-
boo rod. President Charles Breidenstein annexed
second honors, a split bamboo fishing rod. Mr. Breid-
enstein had the honor during two previous seasons of
wearing the high hook medal for the largest fish caught
by a member during the two years, bass weighing
nine and sixteen pounds respectively.

James S. Turner won third prize, a Vom Hoffe reel.
James Lynch took fourth prize, a tackle-box. Fifth
prize was a fishing creel, won by Will S. Turner. Nat
Meade's prize, the sixth, was also a Vom Hoffe reel.
A corduroy coat and vest, the seventh prize, went to
Senator Sid Hall. W. HUliegass won a fine gaff, the
eighth prize. A canvas suit, the ninth prize, went to
James Watt. The ten award, or mysterious prize, was
won by Wm. Ashcroft.

Among those present at the dinner, which was en-
livened by speeches, toasts, songs and anecdotes, were:
Charles Breidenstein, Chairman. Walter D. Mansfield,
President of the San Francisco Fly-Casting Club, Geo.
W. Mitchell, J. S. Turner, Chas. H. Kewell, W. S.
Turner, Nat Mead, Bert Spring, W. H. L. Miller,
Wm. Ashcroft, G. Luttrell, Jas. Lynch, Jas. Watt,
W. HUliegass, F. E. Daverkosen, Chas. Huyck, C. B.
Hollywood, Elmer Rodekopf, George Vance, W. Wil-
son, Clarence Ashland, C. Colgan, A. C. Cunningham,
W. D. Nicholson, J. M. Thompson and others.

Advices from J. F. Orr on Wednesday report Rus-
sian river in fine condition for steelhead angling for

Fishing at The Rocks.

[J. MAVNE BALTIMORE.!

Santa Catalina Island and many other points along
the coast of Southern California- afford magnificent
marine fishing-.

With the exception of salmon fishing along the
lower Columbia, Puget Sound and the Fraser river in
British Columbia, there are no fishing grounds like
those to be found between the bay of San Francisco
and the Mexican boundary line.

While that is true in a general sense, yet there are
many points along the coast of Oregon and Washing-
ton where a great deal of sport and excitement may
be experienced.

Of course, there are no big fish to be captured like
the tuna, barracuda, jewfish, yellowtail, etc., yet there
are many small fellows that may be "snagged" with
the proper lure. Prominent among these "small fry"
man be mentioned tomcod, rockcod, flounder (or sole)
and porgies.

One of the favorite summer resorts along the Wash-
ington coast is found just north of the mouth of the
Columbia river. It is known as North Beach. A few
miles beyond the little fishing town of Ilwaco, the
beach begins and extends clear up to the mouth of
Shoalwater bay, a distance of some 16 miles. Opposite
the mouth of the bay named, stands the little hamlet
of Oysterville, so famous for its delicious bivalves.

From McKenzie's Head clear north to Oysterville is
a sort of straggling village. It is along this broad
strip of wet, glistening beach that so many thousands
of "seasiders" resort during the long sweltering days
of July and August.

Down near McKenzie's Head, which is less than two
miles north of where the waters of the Columbia river
and those of the Pacific Ocean meet, the Sigh and bold
headland shuts abruptly down upon the sea. At that
poinu there is no beach. The ocean beats with great
and constant fury against eternal and immovable rock
abutments. But the erosions wrought by the tireless
action of the waves are very marked.

Near this place are located "The Rocks." Here is
where capital ocean fishing is to be found. There are
a number of high, ragged rocks standing not far from
uhe mainland. Some of these rocks are quite large,
and, at extreme low tide, rise fifteen or twenty feet
above the ocean's surface. During very high tide the
crests of some of these rocks are almost or entirely
submerged.

When the tide is very low, the most of the rocks
may be reached, though not dry shod. One must
wade nearly half leg deep to gain these points.

All around these rocks splendid fishing is to be found.
At thepropertime, and under favorable circumstances,
the finny denizens may be pulled out almost as rapidly
as the hook can be cast. It is rare sport and great
strings are captured daily.

During the seaside season "The Rocks" are a favorite
point of rendezvous. For hours every day they are
covered with anglers — men, women and even children.
The latter are carried in through the water, but, gen-
erally, the ladies are left to shift for themselves.
Though wading several feet deep in cold sea water is
quite a trying ordeal for ladies at first, they soon be-
come accustomed to the excitement and enjoy the
sport.

At that point the supply of fish seems literally ex-
haustless. How many thousands are caught every
season is impossible to estimate; yet, as the years come
and go, they appear as numerous as ever. These fish
are all very palatable when properly cooked and are
highly relished by those who are temporarily roughing
it by the sad sea wave.

But still there is a time to fish down at "The Rocks,"
and there is a time to desist. Low tide is the time to
angle. When the glittering waters commence crawl-
ing toward the tawny shore, then, is the time to call a
bait, pick up your string of fish (if you are lucky
enough to have any), take your rod and line and move
toward the mainland.

To remain on these slippery rocks during high tide
is exceeding perilous. The waves dash with great
force and fury against and upon the rocks. They are
rarely covered, except at flood-tide; but the bitter
spray is carried clear over the tops in blinding showers.

Some rash and fool-hardy persons have braved the
danger and remained on the rocks during the high
tide. However, they have been drenched to the skin
and chilled to the very marrow; besides incurring the
peril of being swept from their slippery, treacherous
footing and carried off by the hungry sea. Danger
seems to add a zest to the fascination of surf fishing.
"The Rocks" have had their tragedies. Several ad-
venturous persons have lost there lives there. They
persist in remaining too long, and when attempting to
reach the land, were borne away by the engulfing surf
and perished. In some instances the bodies have never
been recovered from the sullen waters.

Angling for fish is not the only sport the average
seasider has. Catching flounders, sprawling crabs and
digging for the nimble and delusive clam, affords great
diversion to the fun-loving multitudes.

Nimrods are not entirely without an "occupation."
Back from the beach game birds may be bagged in
the proper season. Still further back are deer; while
in the mountains and forests are found black and
brown bear, and the sly and wary cougar.

The little village of Ilwaco, which is located on the
eastern shores of Baker's Bay, presents a scene of great
activity during fishing season. Salmon fishing begins
in March and ends in August. In the course of the
season almost countless numbers of the royal salmon
are captured and canned.

During the fishing hours, hundreds of little boats
may be seen skinning around Bakers' Bay, above
and below Sand Island, and even down near the white

line of breakers which mark the famous "Columbia
River Bar." It is a most interesting feature of the
great misty, watery reaches — the many scores of boats
constituting the "salmon fleet."

In and around Ilwaco and Fort Canby, are also good
fishing grounds for porgies, tomcod, rockcod and
flounders.

One of the pleasantest and most exciting kinds of
sea fishing is casting into the surf. Many kinds of
fish on the coast are caught in this way, and afford
infinite sport, a big fish being by no means easy to
handle in heavy water. There was a time when the
angling fraternity looked with amusement on the man
who waded into the surf and cast his bait into the sea,
That amusement has now died out, and surf-casting is
a favorite method of fishing with very many successful'
anglers. There is a freedom about this style of fishing
that recommends it very strongly to many people. It
is far different to holding a hand-line in a boat and
hauling in anything that happens to bite and take the
hook. Surf-casting brings into play the full skill of
the angler when a heavy fish is hooked, and a fish of
ten or twelve pounds is not so uncommon a catch. To
play and land such a fish is a feat any man may be
proud of, and the surf angler should have all the credit
coming to him.

AT THE TRAPS.

Professionalism at the trap was brought about by
the necessity of educating the general public up to
trap shooting. The sport of inanimate target shoot-
ing did not catch the popular fancy very readily at the
outset. Something had to be done to get the people
interested in the sport. At one time a certain cart-
ridge company took a team of Eastern shooters and a
team from the West and went round the country giv-
ing exhibitions much after the plan of the circus peo-
ple. The skill of the members of each team was of the
highest class, and crowds witnessed their performances,
with the result that trap shooting took a boom and

"WE KNOW WHO SHOT THE DUCKS!"

gun clubs began to be organized all over the country.
Then came the struggle for patronage on the part of
the different gun and ammunition houses. This led to
the employment of many of the best shots as trade
representatives, whose sole business it was to attend
shoots and show off the products of their respective
employers. These men were naturally most expert,
and, shooting in the sweepstakes as they did, they
just as naturally won about 80 or 85 per cent, of every
purse. At first the amateurs did not care about this,
or perhaps they did not notice it. But it finally got
to be such a monotonous thing, this putting up money
to fatten the professionals' pocketbooks, that the
amateurs rebelled and showed their disapproval by
remaining at home instead of going to a shoot and
"contributing." Once the amateur failed to come to
a shoot, the professional's doom was sealed. He be-
came no longer of service to his employer, because
there was nobody shooting whom he could influence
to use his company's products. Professionals, how-
ever, will not be done away with altogether; their
ranks will be thinned, but there will still be some of
them left. The modus operandi will, of necessity, be
changed; they will have to "shoot for targets only"
and will not be permitted to take part in the purses in
the sweepstake events.

There was a time when the professional class was
very useful to its employers. The public wanted edu-
cating, and the sport needed introducing to notice.
Now that same public is extremely well educated, and
there is no more popular sport than that of trap-
shooting. Of course special brands of powders, special
makes of guns and special shells will still need intro-
ducing to the shooters, but the great "booming period"
has gone forever in trap-shooting; and outside of the
small minority directly interested in the work no one
else will regret it. Much good has been done by the
temporary introduction of the professional class into
the ranks of the trap-shooters. The remarkable work
done by professionals has attracted universal attention,
and has caused many to take an interest in and to be-
come finally infatuated with the sport who would
otherwise have never heard of "clay pigeons." The
prominence, also, given to the sport has had its effects

in clearing the shooting world of many abuses that
made it a byword. Formerly, and not many years
ago either, a man who shot at the traps was looked
down upon by his neighbors; now it's the reverse, and
trap-shooting has become the sport of the business
man in his hours of recreation. The drawing of a
strict line between professionals and amateurs is a long
stride in the right direction.

Notwithstanding the fact that the traps of the pres-
ent day throw the targets farther and faster than in
the past, practice, better guns and quicker loads have
enabled shooters to keep up with the procession. Just
as in the matter of the armament of the navy, it has
been a fight between the manufacturers of armorplate
and the manufacturers of high power guns and armor
piercing shells; so in the inanimate target business it
has been a fight between the manufacturers of traps
and targets and the manufacturers of guns and pow-
ders. In both instances the struggle for supremacy
has been keen, and has resulted in the present high
class of all the articles mentioned. In trap shooting
honors are about even, and experts in naval matters
state that the same result has been attained in their
branch of arms, explosives and armor plate.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

Miller & Lux have on their Kern county lands a
band of between 75 and 100 elks, a noble animal rapidly
becoming extinct. The corporation has offered the
elk to the Order of Elks in this State, and the various
branches of this great fraternal organization are con-
sidering the proposition with a view to obtaining a
reserve for them.

Petite, piquant Miss Victory Bushnell, is the subject
of our illustration this week. The picture was taken
at the Field and Tule Club house recently by Fred
Bushnell. The sweet little Diana, despite her few
summers, takes great delight in the outing trips of her
parents and has, for one of her age, a surprising
knowledge of shooting and fishing matters.

The Los Angeles gun clubs have been enjoying ex-
ceptionally fine sport, in spite of the dry weather.
Shooting during the week ending January 18th, has
been eminently satisfactory, and as the open season
for ducks and quail closes February 1, hunters were
preparing to make the most of the remaining time.

The members of the Centinela club were out in force
Thursday last week. A party consisting of John C.
Cline. Archie Freeman, Major Daniel Freeman, Cap-
tian Banning, Nat Myrick and Willard Stimson, killed
154 birds, most of which were sprigs.

Many shooters, particularly those who reside in or
near the center of large populations, are very generally
of the opinion that smokeless powders for shotguns
have knocked out black powders. The firms whoload
the majority ot shells sent out over the country tell a
far different tale. In fact, black powder loaded shells
for shotguns are in a majority of ten to one. This
will astonish most people who shoot at the trap, for
black powder is generally barred in all competitions
on account of its noise and volume of smoke, both of
which are very annoying to men at the score. On the
other hand, it shows that the vast bulk of shooting
done in this country is not at the traps, but in the
swamps, woodlands and prairies of the United States.

It seems a great pity that the government either
will not, or cannot, protect the few remaining buffalo
in the Yellowstone National Park from the raids of the
skin-hunters. It is undoubtedly a hard matter to
properly police the park; but difficult as it is it can be
done, and yet not cost a fortune to do it.

The buffalo are scarce enough now; another year or
two like the last will settle them all, and there will
then be no excuse for the government to plead. From
all hands will come that old cry "We told you so."
The government knows the state of the case, but up
to date it does not seem to have taken more than ordi-
nary pains to insure the last remnants of the mighty
herds of buffalo that once roamed over the prairies in
countless thousands, against utter destruction, by hide
and head hunters.

The Yellowstone Park is deservedly the greatest
game reservation and greatest national park in the
world, and it is only meet that within its borders
should be preserved, instead of leaving the matter to
private parks, the remaining specimens of perhaps
the noblest of beasts of this great continent.

A press dispatch from Auburn dated January 27th,
recounts a tragedy which transpired near Forrest Hill,
Placer county, wherein one Frank Said was accident-
ally killed last Sunday by his hunting companion,
Albert Ralston, while the two were indulging in a
deer hunt. It is just possible that these two hunters (?)
were as inexperienced in woodcraft and the handling
of firearms as they were, to place the most charitable
construction on their trip to the hills, ignorant of the
game statute which provides a close season on deer at
this time of the year. While hunting casualties have
been somewhat few in this State during the hunting
seasons last closed, still there have been a number of
fatal accidents, the particulars concerning this last
one being the following: The men had discovered
fresh tracks, and Said volunteered to climb a hill and
get in the rear of the game. Ralston heard a noise in
the brush, and, mistaking Said's gray hat for a deer,
fired his rifle, killing him instantly. At the inquest
held on January 27th, at Forest Hill, Ralston was com-
pletely exonerated, the two having been close friends.
Said saw service as a surgeon in the Philippines, and
had an honorable discharge. His home was in Dela-
ware, O.

Steelhead Fishing.

A number of local anglers found the
"White house" pool in the tide waters
at Point Reyes to be productive of sport
and a few large fish last Sunday. Among
the fishermen trying their luck were
John Gallagher, A. C. Cunningham, J.
Fatjo, Theodore Rothechild, E. E.
Stevens, E. Carroll, H. Battu, S. Riordan
and Charles Precht. Carroll seems to
have been higb hook with a catch of
seven steelhead, the largest of which
weighed fourteen and one-half pounds.
These fish, all but two, were caught on a
No. 3 Wilson spoon and after this spoon
was lost a No. 4 Wilson spoon was sub-
stituted. The other fish were caught
with fresh roe. These fish made but
little fight.

The season just closed on Russian river
has been a better one for the angler than
has prevailed for about five years past.
The run of ocean fish ready to go up to
the spawning* grounds has been a very
good one indeed. From the beginning
the net men have been in evidence and
undoubtedly caught many fish. They
- paid well for their temerity however, as,
in all, eleven nets were seized and con-
fiscated. Many sportsmen argue that a
close season for a year or more would be
of incalculable benefit in re-stocking the
coast streams with steelhead. The ang-
ler, although in toto his catch amounts
to a round number of fish, is by no means
so great a factor as the net men and fish
spearers. These latter are at the illegal
game night and day to a far greater ex-
tent than is generally known. For in-
stance at San Gregorio and Pescadero
when the fish are running, the natives
line the banks for a long distance. Fires
built on the shore and burning high,
illuminate the poaching saturn alia, plainly
disclosing1 the approach of each fish, sal-
mon or steelhead, as it swims through
the ocean rollers and into the placid
waters of the lagoon, its course to the
mouth of the stream being eagerly
watched. It is a wary fish indeed that
passes through the gauntlet and escapes
a grave in the briny barrels of the human
cormorants stationed along the stream.
The fecundity of the steelhead is ?reat
else the species had been exterminated
long ago. It has been noticed and com-
mented upon, by fishermen, for instance,
some seasons the ranks of the winter run
of steelheadsin the Paper Mill tidewaters
has been sadly depleted and but a very
few fish have been able to go up stream
and spawn. These few fish however
have been enough to make the supply of
n>h the following year a noticeable one.
If the fish couli he taken and stripped of
spawn at a hatchet y the same as is done
with salmon, wonderful results would be
accomplished in re-stocking the coast
streams with steelhead. An instance of
the feasibility of such a scheme is shown
in the successful efforts of the Ukiah
hatchery superintendent. Col. La Motte,
in keeping the streams of Sonoma. Napa
and other counties stocked with fish.

Many anglers are loth to entertain the
scheme of a close season such as prevails
in the case of the brook trout, for the
reason that the big fellows, the ones who
give the angler a jolly fight, are only
available during the winter run.

game law are exasperating to many dev-
otees of gun and rod. Choleric individ-
uals will and have violated bated, unfair
or class provisions of the law — these are
just the results that have been counted
upon. Game law violations have been
used as capital and awful examples, stren-
uous efforts have been madeand lyingex-
aggerated statements published to the
effect that the most drastic measures and
methods were absolutely necessary to
preserve the ''valuable food supply of the
people." Harping on the same string
the apostles of game protection advo-
cated extra county policing (for a consid-
eration) this would naturally be followed
by the advocacy of a corps of State offi-
cers. Prctection of fish and game by
proper and paid supervision, both State
and county, is good and necessary, but
fake protection of fish and game and for
the schemed benefit of one or more indi-
viduals is another thing.

One result of the abortive attempt to
provide a fat office for one of the apostles
last year during the sessions of the legis-
lature, is the antagonism and wide breach
between the city and country sportsmen
— of course there are many individual
exceptions.

The independent city shooter has a
hard time of it when he goes fifty miles
away from this city, unless he has friends
in the country. On and adjacent to
most of the preserves the club men are
at war with the country shooters.

The elimination of the statutory pro-
hibition against the use of guns larger
than a ten guage was craftily accounted
for by the statement that the limit bag
of fifty made such discrimination now
unnecessary. This is false and mislead-
ing. The non-mention of large bore
guns was in the interest of a firearms
corporation against whose guns laws and
ordinances have been directed, and in
subsequent litigation decisions were ren- j
dered, that able lawyers claim will not
stand. The non-mention of any kind of >
gun would decrease the chances cf future
litigation.

Of one certain style of fish and game I
law protection — the diversion of the !
money of the State for missionary pur- 1
poses in the formation of so-called fish I
and game protective associations which
have been notoriously unsuccessful in the
dual work of fish and game protection
and also in the prosecution and conviction
of alleged violators of the law, but emi-
nently successful in creating clais an-
tagonism and forming political clubs — we
will have something to say later on.

The general feeling of indifference and
aversion for the present game law and its
particular sponsors has been shown in
its persistent violation. Quail have been
marketed and are served in hotels and
restaurants with the Bame impunity that
wild ducks are served in these establish-
ments the year round.

Both ducks and quail have been very
plentiful this year. The presence of the

ducks in greater or lesBer numbers in
different localities being contingent upon
weather conditions and feed. The dry
winter has not made quail hunting, in
many respects, as good as some seasons
we have known.

Some Impressions of the Game Law.

The open season on feathered game
in this State closed yesterday. In the
list of protected birds we find every kind
quail, partridges, grouse, sage hens, all
varieties of wild duck, rail, curlew, ibis
and plover. English snipe, geese, swans,
robins and a number of other birds are
not on the protected lists. English snipe
and swans should, without doubt, be
enumerated in the list. The subject
of protection for robins and meadow larks
has been pretty well threshed out and the
question still remains unsolved.

Reports from all over the State, how-
ever, seem to determine that the majority
of sportsmen are in accord on one argu-
ment and that is that the season has been
closed too early, by two weeks at least.
In many sections the best duck shooting
is had in January and February. In
many localities ducks do not make their
appearance until the middle of October
or beginning of November.

The puzzle to every sportsman is, what
was the cause and reason for shortening
the season on ducks during a time when
the shooting was generally at its best.

We firmly believe that this and other
game law juggling was part of the scheme
formulated by interested parties for the
purpose of individual gain and profit,
directly and indirectly, and not for the
expedient and proper purpose of protect-
ing game and fisb.

Mistakes of Poultry Farmers.

In looking over the average poultry
house in winter, the most common defects
are damp floors, upon which the fowls
stand and mope, and sometimes contract
rheumatism. Broken windows, letting
cold in upon the fowls in daytime, will
check laying, and are common causes of
roup; droppings left for weeks to heap up
under the roosts; lack of a supply of
water, or dirty drinking viands; lack of

plenty of good sharp grit, which alone is
a sufficient cause of failure; lack of fresh
meat and cut bone, which should be fed
twice a week ; overfeeding, overcrowding,
and furnishing no inducement to scratch
for a living. These are the most common
and important mistakes, and those who
wonder why the r hens do not lay will do
well to go over the list.— Cal. Cultivator.

Ten months is long enou%h for any pig
to live. If it is not large enough and fat

132,000 Deaths from
this alone.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright'^ Disease.
Posted clubmen understand this so well
that many have tests made every few
months. Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and Diabetes are increas-
ing at a fearful rate The last census re-
ports show that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United Slates alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132.000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing this one fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curaole in about 8?% of all case--. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

There is nothing like Asthmalene. It brings
I instant relief, even in the worst cases. It cures
when all else fails.

The Rev. C. F. Wells, of Villa Ridge, ILL, says: "Your
trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I can-
not tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it.
I was a slave, chained with putrid sore throat and asthma for
ten years. I despaired of ever being cured. I saw your ad-
vertisement for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting dis-
ease, asthma, and thought you had overspoken yourselves,
but resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment the trial
acted like a charm. Send me a full-size bottle "

We want to Bend to every sufferer a trial treatment of
Asthmalene, similar to the one that cured Mr. Wells. We'll
send it by mail POSTPAID, ABSOLUTELY FREE OF
CHARGE, to any sufferer who will write for it, even on a postal. Never mind,
though you are despairing, however had your case, Asthmalene will relieve and
cure. The worse your case, the more glad we are to send it. Do not delay.

makes the following statement in his recent book,
"Art of Revolver Shooting."

The U. M. C. Co., U. S. A., have supplied me with large quantities of .44
gallery ammunition loaded with both round and semi-round bullets.

These have a small charge of black powder, and I should prefer this
ammunition for self-defense as well as for competition up to 20 yards, as I
find it the most accurate for exhibition shooting.

I think the U. M. C. gives slightly less recoil and fewer "unaccount-
ables" than the English equivalent.

They also load these cartridges with smokeless powder, which I have used and
with which I have made my bests on record in the rapid fire competition.

Send, for new TJ. M. C. illustrated catalogues for furtoer information concerning these modern

Short Range or Gallery Cartridges, which are coming into wide use among

experts and others. Game Laws and Shooting Records Free.

Barondale 2:11 1-4 Meeting With Favor.

The breeding- of the stallion Barondale 2:11}, which
Tom James of Iowa has brought to California, is
attracting* much attention from breeders and mares
are being booked to the son of Baron Wilkes already.
Those who have seen Barondale say that he is a grand
individual and fully up to what one would expect from
his breeding1.. Mr. Martin Carter looked him over one
day last week while in San Jose and decided to send
his great mare Lida W. 2:18}, the dam of Nutwood
Wilkes 2:16A, to him. It should be a great cross. Be-
sides being a son of the renowned Baron Wilkes he
is so richly bred on his dam's side that those who
believe in theefficacy of great broodmares in a pedigree
are enthusiastic over Mr. James' horse.

Nathalie, his first dam, is by Nutwood. She has
produced Barondale 2:11} and Grand Baron 2:12}. She
is an own sister to the great broodmare Clarinda, dam
of Pat Clair 2:22 and Patriot 2:24. She is a half sister
to Patron 2:14-}, sire of Ananias 2:05 and six more in
the 2:15 list, to Prodigal 2:16, sire of John Nolan 2:08
and nine more in 2:15, and to Patronage, the sire of
Alix 2:03|, the world's champion trotting mare.

Beatt'icet his second dam, is by Cuyler 100, and is
the dam of Prodigal 2:16, Patron 2:14} and Patronage
4143, and is a full sister to Elvira, the*dam of Queens-
ware 2:25 and Ponce de Leon 2:13, the sire of Edwin B.
2:12}, Percy 2:13 and Preston (3) 2:13}.

Mary Mambrino, founder of the great family which
bears her name, is the third dam of Barondale and is
by Mambrino Patchen 58. She is the dam of Elvira
2:18$ as a four year old, a champion record at the time,
and is the grandam of over 60 in the 2:30 list.

From here on Barondale's dams run into the thor-
oughbred families, his fourth dam being by Embry's
Wagner, a son of the great four mile race horse
Wagner, the fifth dam Lady Bell is recorded on page
126, Volume 2, of Bruce's American Thoroughbred
Stud Book, and was by Bellfounder Jr., the sixth dam
by Monmouth Eclipse, seventh dam the celebrated
Multiflora by Kosciusko, eighth dam by Rosicrusian,
ind on to the eleventh dam, a mare by imp. Brilliant.

Few trotting stallions have a pedigree that can be
tabulated as far as that of Barondale.

Monterey 2:09 1-4 in the Stud.

Many breeders in California will be glad to know
that after much correspondence with Eastern parties
who deaired to buy or lease that great son of Sidney,
Monterey 2:09}, his owner, P. J. Williams, has con-
cluded to keep the horse here and place him in the
stud. Mr. Williams will divide Monterey's time be-
tween the farm at Milpitas and San Lorenzo, which
latter point is easily accessible from all points in this
part of the State. If Monterey ever goes East, and
the probabilities are that some astute breeder will yet
offer Mr. Williams a price for him that he cannot afford
to refuse, there will be many Californians who will
regret that they did not breed to him when they had
the chance. HU crop of twoyearoids, though not nu-
merous, contains so many high-class promising young-
sters that parties owning them want more of the same
kind and have been writing to Mr. Williams and book-
ing their mares. Monterey is by the great sire Sidney
and outof a great broodmare by Commodore Belmont,
son of Belmont 64 that sired Nutwood 2:18i{. Mon-
terey's breeding is all right and his individuality is of
the highest order. No grander looking stallion will
stand for service in this State, and his extreme speed
and marvelous action are the very acme of the quali-
fications demanded in a sire. Monterey will be in the
great table as soon as his colts are old enough to start
in races, and he will be a much sought after stallion
before many years have passed.

A Handsome Filly

Sacramento, Feb. 5, 1902.
Breeder and Sportsman: — My mare Abbie
Woodnut, the dam of Diawood 2:11, and Abdine 2:17,
foaled a handsome chestnut filly January 10th by
Nutwood Wilkes 2:16£. Horsemen that have seen this
filly say she is the handsomest youngster they ever
saw, and that she is worth lots of money. She has
two crosses to the world's champion sire Nutwood
2:18$. I claim the name Lady Carreta for this royally
bid little miss. Mrs. E. W. Callendine.

Breeding of Cassiar 20491.

A subscriber at Rohnerville, Humboldt county,
writes for the breeding of the dam's side of the horse
Cassiar by Soudan 5103. Cassiar's dam is Carrie
Malone (full sister to Charles Derby 2:20, Klatawah (3)
2:05J, Steineer 2:29}, H. S. Covey 2:25 and Sunlight
2:25) by Steinway, second dam Katie G. by Electioneer
third dam Fanny Malone by Niagara, fourth dam
Fanny Wickham by imported Herald, fifth dam by
imported Trustee. Cassiar has no standard record.

Nutwood Stock Farm String at Pleasanton

William Cecil, trainer for the Nutwood Stock Farm
arrived at Pleasanton track this week with nine head
of trotters and pacers from the farm, all with one ex-
ception sired by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16.1.

In the string is that good trotting gelding Bob
Ingersoll 2:14^, that has entirely recovered from his
siokness of last year, and will be fighting for a 2:10 or
better record this season.

Irvington Boy 2:17| has also rounded to after a
wrestle with the distemper last year. He is one of
the gamest pacers ever foaled and will bo a good horse
in his class on the California circuit.

Verona 2:27 is a handsome filly whose mark made last
year is no measure of her speed, as she has trotted
much faster since it was made. She is out of a mare
by California Nutwood, second dam by Grand Moor.

A pacer that is showing well is called Mixer. He is
a three year old, and a full brother to the trotter Bob
Ingersoll. Another of this family is Muriel C. a two
year old full sister to Mixer and Bob that trots with
an easy open gait that is the admiration of everyone.

A four year old out of a mare by Direct Line is very
promising as is a full sister, a natural pacer.

The only one in the string that was not sired by
Nutwood Wilkes is a two year old filly by Searchlight
2:03}, dam Zeta Carter by Director, second dam Lida
W. 2:18}, dam of Nutwood Wilkes. This filly is very
pi'omising.

Cecil believes he has the best string of youngsters
he has ever handled and that he will give several of
them records and reduce the marks of the record
holders.

There are a number of others left at the farm at
Irvington, among them a two year old brother to
John A. McKerron 2:0GiJ that will be a larger horse
than his famous brother in all probability and will also
be fast as he can show a very fast gait now. There is
also a four year old sister to McKerron on the farm.
She was bred to Mendocino, the Palo Alto stallion last
year. Mr. Carter is not certain she is with foal. If
not she will be worked some this year and may be
given a record.

Azmoor 2:20 1-2 at Sacramento.

Mr. H. W. Davis, of Auburn, Placer county, was the
purchaser of the stallion Azmoor at the Palo Alto sale.
As the well known horseman, Vet Tryon, made the
high bid on the horse it was naturally supposed he
was purchasing for Rancho del Paso and it was so
announced by Mr, Layng, of the auction firm, but Mr.
Tryon was acting for Mr. Davis, who has placed the
stallion in Vet's hands, and Azmoor will make the sea-
son of 1902 at the Sacramento track, at the low fee of
$25. Had Azmoor sired nothing but Betonica 2:10£ he
would be considered a successful horse, as Betonica is
one of the grandest looking stallions in America and
has been a public exhibition mile in 2:06|; but he also
sired Azmon 2:13£, Bob 2:15, Rowena (2) 2:17. Bonni-
bel (4) 2:17|, Mary Osborno (3) 2:28} and others. Az-
moor is by the great Electioneer and his dam the noted
thoroughbred mare Mamie C. that produced three
standard trotters and is the grandam of one. The sire
of the dam of Mamie C. was imported Hercules, whose
get are all noted for size and extreme beauty as well as
gi-eat stamina. At $25 Azmoor is one of the cheapest
stallions to breed to in California.

Stam B. 2:11 1 4 Arrives at Pleasanton.

Pleasanton, Feby. 5, 1902.
Breeder and Sportsman:— Stam B. 2:11} arrived
here today in fine form. He is surely a grand individual,
much grander than I expected to see, as I have not
seen him since he was a four year old, six years ago.
His book is now open. Samuel Gamble.

Messrs. Pierce Bros., of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm,
are purchasing Electioneer broodmares to cross with
their splendid stallion Sidney Dillon. Knowing that
stallions with the blood of Strathmore in them have
proven valuable to breed to such mares, for instance
Steinway, who sired Klatawah 2:05.1, Chas. Derby 2:20,
Sylvanway 2:10}, etc., out of Electioneer mares, they
are taking no chances. They bred Sidney Dillon to
Dolly by Electioneer and got Dolly Dillon 2:07, the
champion trotting mare of 1901. At the recent Palo
Alto sales they purchased Memento 2:25}, Miss Naude
2:29J (dam of Nordeau 2:1 7i ), Ladywell 2:10.1 and Lady
Agnes (dam of two), all by Electioneer. They have
mares by Anteeo 2:16} and Advertiser 2:15 also, so
they are keeping their famous farm and its horses to

the front.

♦

Sam Gamble writes us that his colors for 1002 will be
a red vest and a hammer, and that he will wear his
pantaloons well turned up. We can account for the
selection of the red vest and the turn in the pantaloons
as Mr. Gamble now ha3 Stam B. 2:11',, one of the hand-

Novel Harness Racing.

If the present plans of well-known horsemen are
carried out New York followers of harness racing will
see in the spring, at some near-by track, a novel meet-
ing-, held for the purpose of testing the merits of num-
erous departures from the present system of trotting.

There has been for a long time much discussion and
criticism concerning the trotting turf, its lack of pro-
gress, its needs and its shortcomings. Many sugges-
tions have been made with a view to improving the
sport, and it is now *pi'oposed to give a fair and open
trial to some of the most important of the changes
advocated. The system in vogue on the running turf
is to be followed very closely in many particulars-
dashes, handicaps and selling races being notable
features of the programme.

Francis M. Ware, the secretary of the Newport
Horse Show, is the originator of the project. Ten or
more men are to subscribe $1,000 each as a guarantee
fund to finance a six days' meeting in May or Judo.
No profit is sought and no loss is expected. The out-
lay will be limited to $12,000, but it is deemed safe to
have in hand a sufficient amount to defray all expenses
regardless of receipts.

Following are some of the special conditions which
will govern the proposed meeting:

One two-in-three mile-heat race and four dashes
daily; dashes to be at varying distances over one mile.
Distance, in at least three heat races, to be 40 yards.
Weight to be waived in all dashes, except those under
saddle. Some races to be handicaps by distance, some
by weight and some by time. One race daily a selling
race. Some races to wagon, some to saddle. All en-
trance fees to be 5 per cent only, spot cash, and none
conditional.

Drivers to wear silk jackets and caps^and claim
colors at entry. Grooms to wear clean jumpers or
their own coats. Ten dollars fine to employer for
every violation of this rule.

Starters in all races limited to eight. Should twelve
or more remain in race, management to separate them
by lot, add $200 to amount offered for original event,
and divide this sum into two purses. At least two
races to be sweepstakes, i. e., all entrance money added
to purses; and one event "free entrance," but $20 to
withdraw.

A paddock to be provided, and all horses brought
to it before their races and kept there until after
finish. Grooms restricted to its confines.

Not more than two scores allowed in each heat or
dash. If the word is not then given all entries to be
lined up at the40-yard distance and started flat-footed.
In at least two heat races horses to be drawn by lot
into two sets, one set to contest the first heat, the
other the second, the first three in each heat to con-
test the third and last. Money awarded on positions
in last heat. Distance, 40 yards.

Hopples barred in certain races. No heat betting
allowed; betting on race results only.

Selling race winners to be sold immediately after
drivers dismount. Claims for beaten horses must be
made to secretary within 15 minutes after winner
passes the wire; all beaten horses must remain in pad-
dock up to that time or be liable to a fine of $50.

All starts in handicaps to be flat-footed and at sound
of gong or megaphone. Entries close for first day one
week in advance; for each day thereafter at 4 P. fit. on
the day before. Declarations for all races of the day
must be made one clear hour before start for first race
and conspicuously posted.

Here is the first day's program, as framed by Mr.
Ware:

First race— Purse $600 ($400,, $150, $50); mile heats,
best two in three; in harness; trotters.

Second race—Purse $350 ($225, $100, $251; dash, 1\
miles; in harness; trotters.

Third race — Purse $850; dash, 1 1 miles; :n harness;
pacers.

Fourth race — Purse $.'150; dash, l] miles; to wagon;
pacers and trotters.

Fifth race — Purse $350; dash, 1.] miles; to saddle
pacers; to carry 150 pounds.

Subscriptions to the meeting are to be received up
to February 15th.

It seems that Cresceus was not the only money win-
ner on the recent trip of the champion through the
Southwest. His prompter, Mike the Tramp, is not
an over-handsome horse, but he can move like the
real thoroughbred he is when called upon to do so.
Dcwn in Arizona some of the native cowboys jollied
Mike's caretaker, Eddie Mitchell, about the runner's
lack of beauty, so Eddie got even with them by start-
ing Mike in the running races provided for the cow-
boys' ponies, and making them all look like the pro-
verbial 30 cents.

Matinee Racing at Los Angeles.

[Herald, February 2d.]
Under ordinary circumstances it is the custom of the
Driving Club to bring its matinees to a close as early
as 4 o'clock and not later than 4:30. The custom was
broken yesterday, however, and it was nearly 5:30
o'clock when the last race had been decided. There
were nine events on the card, three of them out of the
ordinary run of races. As only fourteen heats were
contested during the afternoon and as a pool box is
not in evidence to be fed, the program dragged to a
considerable degree. Tbe track was very dusty, and
late in the afternoon a cold wind interfered witk tbe
sport.

Perhaps the performance of the "guideless wonder,'1
General Wiles, afforded more interest than any other
attraction. General Wiles -vas scheduled to go a mile
"without driver or sulky. '' The docile animal, gaily
caparisoned in white, made the mile with one long
break. He was followed around the track by a broncho
' hitched to a cart. The long break did not suit the
judges, and they asked that the General trot another
mile. This did not suit the horse, and he made several
determined efforts to get past the drawgate toward
the stables. He was finally led past the drawgate and
started on a second journey. The horse trotted the
back quarter in 33 seconds, a 2:12 gait, and then con-
cluded to run for nearly half a mile, finally crossing
under the wire at a line trot. He made a final break
for the exit and was led out.

The second feature, from the horseman's point of
view, was of much more interest. K. V. Redpath and
G. B. Tibbott have for weeks been working Bastina
and General Wiles as a team for the purpose of making
a try for the matinee team record of 2:301. The effort
was made yesterday afternoon, and the horses went
the distance without a skip in 2:26.1, four seconds bet-
ter than the local record and equal to the State record.
Before the trial Mr. Redpath said that he believed the
team could De worked to beat the State record, after
the mile was made bis opinion was concurred in by a
number of horsemen.

The third novelty, the half-mile riding race, runners
barred, proved a fizzle. Two horses, Babe and Star-
light, were drawn, and of the three that remained only
one, Medico, had any speed. No time was taken.

The first race was a mixed event for trotters and
pacers. It was won in handy style by The Rover in
two straight heats.

George made a try for the second heat, racing with
The Rover to the three-quarters pole. There George
went skyward and the race was over.

The 2:25 pace developed a horse race worthy of the
name. Toughnut, Polo and Burley F. were the princi-
pal contenders in the first heat. Burley F. broke on
the far turn and Polo did not have the speed to
challenge Toughnut in the stretch. The second heat
went to Burley F., his owner. H. G. Bundrem, doing a
good bit of driving through the stretch. Toughnut
did not figure in this heat on account of a bad break
on the back stretch. The third heat went to Tough-
nut, although Polo was driven through the strecth.
Burley F. lost by breaking on the far turn.

The third race, a mile dash for trotters, brought out
four mediocre horses. Williard Stimson won with
Julia M., chiefly because there wasn't another horse
in the bunch that stayed on its feet. At one time A.
W. Bruner's Billy Green seemed to have a chance, but
he broke in the final drive. ■

The fourth race was the free-for-all trot, two heats
in three, Sweet Marie owned by William Garland, won
about as she pleased. E. T. Earl, with Sweetheart,
went after Sweet Marie in the first heat and the owner
was forced to negotiate the mile in 2:151. Sweetheart
broke in the second heat and Williard Stimson, with
Vendome, made a gallant effort to beat Sweet Marie
but Vendome did not have the speed when called on'
Sweet Marie winning the second heat by a length.

Primose won the free-for-all pace in hollow fashion
She took the first heat in 2:12}, eased up, and the
second just as eaisly in 2.13J. Montecito Boy paced a
good race, but he and Floretta Bell were outclassed.

The three-minute class mile dash could scarcely be
called a race. Dr. John Ferbert drove My Girl around
the track in 2:39 and won by twenty lengths. The third
horse, Dandy, was a quarter of a mile more or less, in
the rear.

Curby Sires.

Advices from Kentucky are that Audubon Boy 2:06,
the largest winner of 1901, has improved greatly since
being fired and blistered on retiring from the late
campaign. He will not he raced as often in 1902 as in
1901, but it is expected to lower his record. Because
of his curby hocks, Audubon Boy sold as a scrubby
yearling for the insignificant sum of $35, having been
an eyesore to Peter Duryea, who partly owned him.
But other curby-hocked horses have made turf history,
notably the $105,000 Axtell, the $25,000 Patron, and
the celebrated "plow-horse,'" McDoel, who defeated
Allerton at Lexington for the Transylvania Stake,
driven by Budd Doble. McDoel was originally known
as Sedalia Boy, was buck-kneed and curby beyond de-
scription, his four feet not being over two feet apart
on the floor when he was stationary, so crooked fore
and aft was he; and yet how he raced! Cresceus 2:02},
mightiest trotter of the time, was curby, and the iron
marks yet show where it was removed and a flesh
bandage formed to support the joints. Kentuckians
patronize curby horses without hesitation. North-
erners hold them greatly in disfavor. If the first few
crops of foals are in the main -curby, a sire's doom is
sealed. Wedgewood 2:19, best campaigner of his days
was a curby horse, sired lots of curby youngsters, yet
was freely forgiven because of the game Favonia 2:15
and the great John R. Gentry 2:00i produced by his
daughter, Damewood, and toward the end of his career
begot a cleaner-limbed lot because there was much
study made as to the ancestry of his patrons.

Ever interesting is this matter of atavism. Belle,
dam of old Belmont, was a very curby mare. Belmont
sired Wedgewood. Not a few have at times suspected
that the gray scar on Nutwood's hock came from a
blister, the hair coming in white. However, Nutwood
sired some curby animals, as do all stallions, yet his
daughter, Manette, gave us the $125,000 Arion, and
breeders freely booked to him, when first purchased
by Stout & Son, at a fee of $1000. He died with the
white patch on his hock just as he had lived, and none
know positively as to its exact history, unless it be
Lucas Brodhed, of Woodburn Farm. Nutwood's dam,
Miss Russell, was a gray mare, and the produce of
gray mares at times have such streakings peculiar to
them.

Oil Pocahontas 2:17t to wagon, had a white patch
on her body and one on her thigh, but never repro-
duced them. James Butler's elegant old trotting
mare, Mambrino Maid 2:15}, whom James Goldsmith
won S7000 with in her first season on the Grand Cir-
cuit, had a white patch on her thigh, yet her sire was
a dark bay and her dam likewise. They may have got
these markings from a remote ancestor.

The breeder of Hopeful 2:14| had a mare that had a
"watch" eye He bred her and her daughters and
granddaughters persistently. In the fifth generation
the "watch" eye appeared. He had anticipated such
a happening and had bred fully as much for experi-
mental purposes as aught else, just to see whether
there really was a state truly to be considered as
atavism.

Curbs many times come from strains, but the crooked
leg, sickle shape hock with protruding curb joint
usually will be reproduced even when the sire has per-
fect hocks and no tendency to unsoundness. — Exchange.

Justin Morgan, the founder of the Morgan family,
died in 1821. He was 2S years old, and his death was
caused by a kick. He was perfectly sound and free
from any blemish, and his spirit was not broken.

Century Mark Sires.

[Western Horseman ]
Some idea of the actual progress we are making in
breeding harness speed maybe drawn from the fact
that no less than nine different speed sires have to
their credit more than one hundred standard perform-
ers. An interesting study is the comparative merit of
the ten leading sires, to date, of standard performers,
and as an aid in this line a series of tables are herewith
presented. Even with the leading sires absolute cor-
rectness in statistical calculations, taking in the past
season's achievements, are difficult to produce without
recourse to the official returns from all trotting and
fair association meetings. Yet we believe that the
following tabulations of the ten leading sires are cor-
rect. At the close of 1901 the ten leading speed sires,
measured by their number of standard performers,
areas follows, the first figures being the year of foaling
of each:

1—1870. Nutwood 2:18J 165

2—1868. Electioneer .... 160

3—1875. Onward 2:25] 159

4—1*74. Red Wilkes 158

5—1876. Alcantara 2:23 148

B— 1879. Pilot Medium 117

7—1*79. Simmons 2:28 107

8—1880. Wilton 2:19} 103

9—1881. Gambetta Wilkes 2:19} 101

10—1882. Baron Wilkes 2:18 | 98

Baron Wilkes is two short of the century mark, but
he is added to make up the total of ten leading sires.
Havingmade the standard mark the relative merit
point in the above table, we will now measure tbe
same ten stallions by their 2:15 performers, a test of
merit more in keeping with present day requirements.
Under the 2:15 test their relative standing is as follows:

1— Alcantara 28

2— Onward 26

3— Baron Wilkes 25

4— Red Wilkes 22

5 — Simmons 21

6— Wilton 18

7 — Gambetta Wilkes 17

* — Pilot Medium 15

0— Nutwood 13

0 — Electioneer 13

[To show how McKinney 211}, the leading Califor-
nia sire rates with these stallions it is only necessary
to state that as a sire of 2:15 performers he would be
sixth in the above list as he has 19 in that list. He
has but 42 in the 2:30 list, but he is only fourteen
years of age while the youngest of the five stallions
that have more 2:15 performers to their credit is Baron
Wilkes whose age is 19, that of the others being Al-
cantara 25, Onward 26, Red Wilkes 27, and Simmons
22.— Ed. B. & S. .

The Village Horse Liar.

"The Village Ho**se Liar" is a theme which Trot-
wood, in the Horse Review, treats in this fashion:

Every horseman is familiar with the fellow, but, like
the buffalo, the red man and the coyote of the desert,
he has gradually retired before the progress of civili-
zation. In Tennessee he was once as numerous as
poverty or the skunks that infested the hillside vil-
lage. He was the product of ignorance, conceit and
mean whisky that has given in and passed away before
the advent of the public school, the daily paper and
the locomotive.

He is rare now — so rare that when I ran upon one a
few weeks ago in the village store of a backwoods
county I determined to put him on paper, that the
coming generation might not entirely permit his like-
ness to pass from the memory of man.

T had gone after quails. It was nearly noon and
the shooting had been good. I have found that the
birds do not feed much during the noon hours, and it
is best to rest the dogs from 12 until 2. The shooting
had brought me close to the little village that lay
among the hills, as primitive as they ever get to be.
No railroad had ever been in fifty miles of it. Even as
I came up I saw that the three stores were closed, the
blacksmith shop was shut up and the tannery was de-
serted. Nothing but the church was in progress, and
that was in full blast. It adjourned just as I reached
it, and they all came boiling out. There was intense
excitement, much talking, head shaking and gestures;
much laughing that showed victory on one side, and
silence that meant defeat on the other.

I soon learned that a church debate had been going
on for-ten days between the Methodists and Campbell-
ites, as the denomination is called there. It lasted
from 8 to 12 every day, and all business was suspended
while it progressed. The subject under discussion
was "Infant Baptism," and the two denominations
had reached the redhot phase of the argument. The
Methodist preacher was an old man; the Campbellite
was young and just feeling his spurs. They had been
at it hammer and tongs all morning. Each would
argue a half-hour, then there would be a song and a
prayer, and the other would leply. Both churches
were out in force and all parties were hot. I knew, of
course, that at the end of the twelve days' debate all
parties would hate each other more cordially than
ever, and every one would believe just exactly what
he had believed before. I asked an ardent Methodist
whom they called Squire Tobey what it was all about.

"Oh," he said, "it's called a 'bait twixt our preacher
an' the Cam'ellite. But it's jes' a one-sided thing, for
our preacher is a-givin' that little Cam'ellite hell."

Perhaps so. But the Campbellites didn't look at it
that way, for I heard an indignant old sister of that
faith say as she stopped to buy a box of snuff at the
village grocery.

"Wall, these old preashers air pretty good, but it
it takes the young uns to give us fresh gospel. I
wasn't baptized when I was a baby, an' I've got to-day
as much religion as arry Methodist that ever spattered
water."

At this point the horse liar entered. I am sorry,
because I had become interested in that religious de-
b te. I felt sure it would end in a funeral.

It is a good thing to land in a little place where you
are not known and know no one. It's a good thing to
try it once in a while just to study human natnre.

It was plain to see that the horse liar was the most
knowing and best posted man in the village — in his
own opinion. You could tell it by the way he paid a
nickel for a cigar and puffed at it; by the way he
glanced around to see who was looking at him; by the
neglige cut of his cravat, the cockish way he wore his
hat, the very swagger in his mode of expectorating.
The others in the store were not novelties, but I was,
and when they had gathered around the stove I knew
the talk he was giving them was all for me. The fol-
lowing is the conversation just as it occurred — the
main talking being by the horse liar — the others being
Tom, Dick and Harry — it matters not — questioners and
listeners who were merely innocent carriers of fuel to
his flame:

"I told you all the fus* o' the year that that Dan
Patch 'ud be a great hoss. Now he's beat every pacer
thatcomeout, won more money 'n any of 'em an' come
in one point of P'inter's record. Who was he by?
Joe Patchen, one of the bes' sons of old Tom Hal I
ever saw. He was a little light about the body, but he
was a great race horse. He was foaled over there
about Mooresville an' is full brother to Little Brown
Jug. I'll never forget the day that Ed Geers was
training old Joe as a three year old and had 'ira shod
so he couldn't go at all. I showed Ed how to shoe 'im
an' that Fall he won the Pennsylvania at Lexington.
Ed Geers never has forgot me for that, and every time
he sees me he tells me I give 'im the fus' real lesson he
got in shoeing a pacer."

He puffed away at his cigar awhile, and the rest of

them stood around and looked worshipful. He spat and
resumed:

"I've been thinkin' for some time I'd write to the
papers an' expose all this pedigree they've made up
for old Tom Hal any way. I've got the affidavits of
dying men that proves he were got by a cavalry hoss
endurin' the war, but they all got around me an'
begged me not to do it. I wasn't worried 'bout myself,
but I was afeared some day they'd expell Ed Geers off
the track for it, an' now I see they've done it."

"What?" exclaimed about ten of them in a chorus.

"Well, 'twas sort o' this way, too," he went on. "Of
course Ed Geers had to swear to the breedin' of enny-
thing he raced. You or I or eny man 'u'd do that.
It's natural an' part of the American Association rules.
They can't blame 'im for that. He didn't know old
Tom was bred that way, but you see, they had 'im in
that well known law rule laid down by Blackstone,
Ignoranlum non est excu^um — ignorance of law is no
excuse. They jes' naturally had 'im. Ob, the papers
was full of it an had it up an' down, but I'll give you
what I think is the inside history."

Here he arose, looked knowing and the others stood
with mouths wide open. Even the grocer stopped
measuring my powder long enough to hear it.

"It's this way; You see, Ed Geers has been drivin' a
hoss all the year called Onward Silver, an' winnin'
right and left, downin' the gold bugs an' trusts an'
monopolies an' wipin' the dust up with 'em. This nat-
urally riled the administration, specially since Mc-
Kinley died, an' so the gold bugs had it in for im, an'
now they've ruled 'im off — an' the best man that ever
pulled a line."

I left right there and went back to the fields to keep
out of the discussion and, maybe, a fight. But I
thought as I went along that that was just about a
sample of real horse information in the backwoods.

Grand Circuit.

Auctions vs. Books.

Secretary George W. Jackson of the California State
Agricultural Society received 64 answers to the circu-
lar he sent out to the harness horse men asking for an
expression of opinion as to the best system of betting
on harness races. There were three questions asked,
as follows: Book betting on heats, mutuals on heats,
or auctions and mutuals on result of race only. The
answers received were as follows:

For. Against. Total

Bookmaking 1 63 64

Mutuals on heats 33 31 64

Mutuals and Auction Pools on result

of race 63 1 64

The opposition to books is almost unanimous, while
those who favor mutuals on heats are in a very slight
majority, showing that there is a very large contin-
gent who favor betting only on the result of races.

The Directors of the State Agricultural Society will
meet to day, and it is probable that they will decide
whether books will be permitted on harness races at
the State Fair this year. It is hoped and believed
they will vote to abolish all bookmaking on harness
racing.

Warren Lewis, the Grand Circuit auctioneer from
Ypsilanti, Mich., has purchased the big, game pacer,
Charlie D. 2:24J, who has been second in 2:10] and
paced the last half in a winning race in 1:04} on the
Ann Arbor track. The price paid was $800.

Wiiliam Harold 2:13 1-4 and Welcome 2:10 1-2.

Over at the Meek Estate Farm near Haywards,
Alameda county, Superintendent Geo. Gray (than
whom no more genial, or more successful manager of
a big farm lives in California) will again have those
two highly bred stallions William Harold and Welcome
in the stud this year. William Harold's daughter
Janice, whose untimely death at Santa Rosa in Decem-
ber last was a great loss to the trotting turf, was one
of the sensational mares of the country. She won a
race at a mile and an eighth at Memphis last fall, trot
ting it in 2:24{, the world's record at the distance and
got a record of 2:08} for the mile. She was one of the
handsomest as well as one of the gamest trotters ever
foaled, and had she lived a mark of 2:05 or better
would certainly have been within her reach. She was
the first and the only one of William Harold's produce
to be raced.

The breeding of William Harold is such that had he
not produced such a good one as Janice, he could rea-
sonably be expected to, as he comes direct from families
that produce extreme racing speed. He was sired by
Sidney 2:19|, one of the leading speed sires of the
world, sire of Lenna N. 2:051 and 96 in 2:30, and his
dam was Cricket 2:10, dam of three in the list, by the
great Steinway, sire of Klatawah (3) 2:05i and many
more extremely fast ones. Steinway blood breeds on.
He has sired four in 2:10, his son Chas. Derby has sired
three in 2:10 and his grandsire Diablo is the sire of
Clipper 2:06 and Sir Albert S. 2:0SJ. Moreover, Stein-
way's own sister Soprano is the dam of ten in 2:30, her
only equal in this line being Beautiful Bells. William
Harold bas two crosses of Strathmore, one of the
greatest sons of Hambletonian 10. He is a good indi-
vidual and his produce are all endowed with more than
the usual share of good looks.

Welcome 2:10£, the other stallion in Mr. Gray's
charge, is one of the grandest lookers ever seen in
California. He is as near the perfect type of a harness
stallion as has been bred, and although he weighs 1300
pounds is a model of symmetry. Welcome took a
trotting record of 2:27 and has a pacing record of 2:10.].
It is confidently believed that he can trot in 2:15 or
better with a few months' work. Welcome is by
Arthur Wilkes 2:28i, a son of Guy Wilkes that has
produced four in the 2:15 list, and his dam is Lettie by
Wayland Forrest, dam of two in the 2:15 list, and of
Maud Singleton 2:28J, dam of Silver Ring 2:14*. The
first and only one of Welcome's get to be trained is
Iloilo, that took a standard record last year. The get
of Welcome are considered among the most promising
young horses in California and have extreme beauty
as well as size and speed.

By referring to our advertising columns this week
the announcements of these two stallions will be found
with particulars as to service fees, etc. They are
worthy of being mated with the best bred mares to be
found.

Bakersfield Matinee.

Bakersfield. Feby. 2. 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— Enclosed you
will find a program of our matinee which was held
today. The track was in fair shape, but the weather
was bad, cloudy and cold. However it did not keep
the horse lovers away for there were three hundred
in attendance.

The track is under the superintendence of H. H.
Shears, and by the time the fall meeting comes off it
will be second to none.

The great little blue roan horse Richmond Chief
2:14$ is now in the hands of T. H. Fogarty, who will
make the season with him here. There is a show for
another well bred horse here as there are more mares
to be bred than one horse can serve.

The summaries of our races on the 2d was as follows:

three stakes for its fall meeting in October, entries to
the stakes to close April 1st. The first is for three
year old pacers eligible to the 2:30 class, and the sec-
ond for three year old trotters eligible to the 2:35 e)aes.
These stakes are guaranteed to be worth $500 each.
A stake for pacers of the 2:'24 class, 825 entrance, is also
given, to which $500 is to be added by the associate.

A WORD TO STALLION OWNERS:— On the loth
of the present month, which is just one week
from to-day, there will close with Secretary Geo.
Jackson of the California State Agricultural Society
a stake that should have the support of every stallion
owner on the Pacific Coast and the territory adjacent
thereto. It is a new stake, on a plan that has never
before been tried with harness horses in America, but
has met the endorsement of every intelligent owner
and breeder who has read its conditions, besides receiv-
ing very flattering notices from the leading turf
journals of the east. This Special Stallion Stake was
gotten up by the Directors of the State Agricultural
Society for the purpose of encouraging the breeding
of harness horses of high class and extreme speed,
and no stallion owner can afford to allow the stake to
close without naming his horse, as only the get of
stallions nominated will be eligible to the stake. Last
year standard bred stallions were patronized to a
greater extent than for several years previous, and
there will, as a consequence, be more standard bred
foals this year than at any time since the boom days
of breeding. The increase in the value of harness
horses has excited a renewed interest in colt stakes
and, as is evidenced by the large lists of entries in
those closed last year and this, breeders generally
desire to patronize the stakes. Stallion owners owe it
to breeders who have patronized their horse that he
be named in this stake so as to make the colts and
fillies dropped this year eligible. The nominating fee
is only the price of one service, and there will be paid
to the owner of the sire of the winner the sum of $250
If there is a class of people who should patronize
and support colt stakes it is the men who own
stallions and stock farms, and keep their horses
for public service, or breed horses for the market or
racing purposes. Colt stakes are the very life of the
breeding business, and give to the owners of good colts
the opportunity of earning large sums with them
without being compelled to gamble with the book-
makers. The winner of a big stake is a legitimate
raoney earner and the stallions that sire the money
earners are the ones breeders are looking for. The
California State Agricultural Society has inagurated a
stake that can be patronized by stallion owners in
California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho,

the battle of Shiloh he was wounded by a falling horee.
He was recommended for promotion to Brigadier-
General by Sherman and Grant, but resigned in 1864
because of heart trouble and went to New York, where,
in the following year, he founded Turf, Field and
Farm. He published six volumes of the Stud Book,
and then sold the rights of the publication to The
Jockey Club, although he stipulated that Vol. 7 should
be published just as he had compiled it. He was
recognized as one of the leading authorities of the
world in thoroughbred history and pedigrees.

SUPERINTENDENT COVEY of Palo Alto Stock
Farm has made another ten strike, or perhaps it
were better to call it a sixteen strike, as he has booked
that number of the great farms best mares to Me-
Kinney 2:11 J. His letter announcing this fact and
giving the names and breeding of the mares, will be
found on another page of this issue of the Breeder
and Sportsman. As these mares will all be offered
at auction this year, some in New York and some in
California they will attract bids from those who want
that greatest of all crosses the Wilkes-Electioneer
blood. In this connection it will interest our readers
to know that Mr. C. W. Williams, owner of the great
stallion Allerton, has recently written as follows of
these two great families: "Rysdyk's Hambletonian
founded one of the greatest families of trotters of
which we have any record. He was the foundation
from which the trotting horse came One hundred
and fifty of his sons are the sires of standard speed.
The sons and grandsons of two — George Wilkes and
Electioneer— have sired more performers tha; have
the sons and grandsons of the 14S others. There are
but two great trotting families. To deny this is to
wipe away all the records of the past. Year by year
these two great families have grown in popular favor,
and could it be otherwise? Their blood of the past few
years has produced nearly all the record-breakers,
nearly all the winners of the colt stakes, and nearly all
the 2:10 preformers, and, if we judge the future by
the past, the time will come when every race of any
importance will be won by horses earring the blood of
one or botti of these great sires. To solve the breed-
ing problem is not hard. Others are doing that for
us every day. The breeder who makes a mistake now
simply refuses to profit by the experience of others.
The produce of good mares bred to the best stallions
will be bred in fashionable lines, will have speed, and
will sell in any market in the world." This is pretty
strong talk, and while we may not agree with Mr.
Williams when he says "then are hut two great fami-
lies," there is no question but the Electioneer and the
Wilkes are the two greatest, and such being the case
the combination of the two will in all probability pro-
duce the greatest horses of the future.

McKINNEY'S BOOK will he full before many of
those who now contemplate breeding to this
great horse realize the fact. Superintendent Frank
Covey has booked sixteen of Palo Alto Stock Farm's
best mares to him and Mr. Durfee is receiving letters
every day from all parts of the country from owners
who want to breed their mares to the champion stal"
lion. As McKinney is limited to 50 mares this year
those who get their mares on the book will be lucky.
When the extreme speed test is applied by the 2:15
and 2:20 lists McKinney leads everything at his age.
At fourteen years he is the sire of 19 performers in the
exclusive 2:15 list, a showing never made by any other
stallion in the world, and at the same age he is the
sire of 28 trotters and pacers in the 2:20 list. He has
sired 42 with standard records and of these about
seventy per cent are in the 2:20 list, and nearly fifty
per cent in the 2:15 list. No living stallion can make
such a showing. When it is added that four of the
orty-two, or nearly ten per cent of bis standard per-
formers are in the 2:10 list, and one has a record of
2:02, is it any wonder that McKinney is called a cham-
pion sire?

COL. SANDERS D. BRUCE, founder of the Ameri-
can Stud Book and also of that well known jour-
nal, Turf, Field and Farm, died at New York, February
1st, aged 77 years Colonel Bruce was born in Lexing-
ton, Ky., August 16, 1S25, and claimed to be a direct
descendant of Robert Bruce, the Scottish king. In
1846 be was graduated from Transylvania University.
On the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the Union
cause and served through the war. He built the forti-
fications at the mouth of the Cumberland river. In

EVERY GOOD HORSE should be fitted with a good
harness and good boots. In the latter one can-
not be too particular, and all various devices for pro-
tection should protect. A poor fitting boot may ruin
a valuable horse, and a poor harness may cause one to
lose a stake. There are few horsemen in California
who are not aware of the fact that John A. McKerron
the leading harness maker of the Pacific Coast took
the gold medal at the Paris exposition for the Best
.display of boots and light harness, but there may be
some new comers in the ranks who are not acquainted
with this fact and for their benefit we make the state-
ment. Mr. McKerron fills orders nearly every month
from the Eastern States, Europe and Australia, and
his trade is growing wherever his goods are known.
This is the reward one gets for establishing a standard
and keeping to it all the time. "In leather and work-
manship the best is none too good," is one of McKer-
ron's maxims.

SANTA ROSA STOCK FARM offers for sale four
well bred young stallions, all with records below
2:20 and all fit and ready for the stud. Two of them
are by Direct 2:051, one by Diablo 2:09 j and the other
by Wildnut. The Diablo stallion is one of the best
bred horses on the continent, as his dam is Biscari, a
producing mare by Director 2:17, and his grandam the
great mare Bicari, dam of six in 2:30 and four produc-
ing sons including the sire Pancoast, sire of Patron
and other good ones. Pierce Bros, have many stallions
on the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, and these horses are
offered for sale to make room for the young stock.
Any horseman who is endowed with an average amount
of intelligence and energy can make with any one of
these stallions this year twice the amount asked for
him.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT happened Mr. R. B. Mil-
roy, of the California Jockey Club, last Saturday
evening. In getting on a Market street ear he slipped
and fell to the pavement, striking the back of his head
with great force, and also breaking the tibia, the large
bone of the leg. He was taken to his home and while
the fracture of the leg is uniting rapidly, the injury
to his head gives him much trouble and his condition
is serious. Mr. Milroy's many friends will regret to
hear of his accident, and earnestly hope that he may
quickly be completely restored to his usual robust
health. Mr. Milroy is one of the most popular officials
connected with racing in California and numbers bis
friends by the thousands.

Sonoma Stock Farm Sale.

The dispersal sale of the thoroughbred and trotting
stock belonging to the estate of the late J. B. Chase
was held by auctioneer W. H. Hord, at the salesyard
1732 Market street, last Tuesday. While tho stock
was not in very good condition and were mostly of the
old fashioned line of breeding, some very fair prices
were obtained and the sales were quickly made, many
bidders being present.

Ethelinda, chestnut mare foaled 1894 by Peel-Glen
Ellen by Kyrle Daly, was knocked down by Chas. Fair
for $175. Centella by Joe Hooker out of Katy Pease
also went to the bid of Mr. Fair and brought $500, the
highest price of the sale.

Some fairly well bred mares went for from $30 to $60.
Mystery by Three Cheers out of Mistake by Wildidle
brought $200, the bid of Chas. Boots, and Miss Pollard
by imp. Idalium out of Marin by Kyrle Daly also
brought $200, Mr. E. J. Molero being the buyer. The
stallion Dare sold for $75 and tbe purchaser was offered
$300 for the horse within two hours. The yearlings
averaged about $30, the two year olds much better, as
Rocodwia by Dare-Phcebe Ann brought $200, Tortula
by Peel-Ethelinda $125 and Sulitelma by imp. Tren-
tola-Catalina $120. Helen Dare, a four year old filly
by Dare-Mary E., fetched $125.

When the trotting bred ones were reached the pricss
averaged better considering the breediug, as there was
not one in the lot that could be called highly bred.
There were fourteen head sold, mostly short bred or
out of thoroughbreds and the prices received were
from $40 to $140. The latter figure was paid for a
horse called Captain Blair by Saladin Jr. (a son of Sal-
adin by Nutwood) out of a mare by Buccaneer. This
was a rather good looking stallion eight years old, and
worth more than the sum paid for him.

There were several well posted horsemen present
who picked up real bargains at very low figures, and
while the prices all through were low, the sale was, all
circumstances considered, a satisfactory one.

The Memphis System.

"Old Campaigner" makes the following comments
in the last issue of Kentucky Stoek Farm about Murray
Howe's invention:

The Memphis system was given a trial in but two
races at the meeting last fall. If the program had
been made up entirely of that sort of events it would
have been one of the most successful ones ever put
through. Every one of the six heats caught the
crowd; the time was fast and every driver, with a
possible exception, was out for all he could get every
heat. An accident in the first heat of the trot had to
do with spoiling the contest, to a limited extent, and
in the second heat of the pace there was something
out of gear. But those instances only served to show
what a great thing Murray Howe's plan is. In regard
to the matter of betting, you must know that no one
was at all tangled except those who wanted to bet on
the final result. And they ought to have been ashamed
of themselves, for under that system if the best horse
in a race has the same luck that he would have in any
other sort of race of heats he will win the most money.
And that will give his backers in the auctions their
winnings. It looks as easy to me as the addition of
2 and 2.

Take the pacing race, for instance. On his regained
form, as shown at Lexington, Audubon Boy was con-
sidered the best horse in the field. That being true,
there was nothing to do but play him to win the most
money. New Richmond was as safe a second choice,
with a chance that he might out-race Audubon Bov
in the mile and an eighth heat, just that much more
inducement to make a play on him. Dr. Monical was
the logical third choice. Go and look at the summary
of the race and see if the money did not go to the
horses in the order I have stated. The accident to
Dolly Bidwell in the first heat of the trot makes it
difficult to discuss that event fairly. But the fact that
Janice was able to trot the first heat in 2:09 and the
second at the rate of 2:08} is pretty good evidence that
she was the best thing in the field, outside of Dolly
Bidwell, and there is no sure thing that the Inglewood
mare had any the best of the Californian. In both
races it was a case of pick the one you think is best
and bet your money accordingly. I am unable to see
wherein it differs from any heat race, except that there
is no danger that some shrewd laying-up will affect the
result. The driver who lays up a heat in one of the
Memphis plan races is liable to come out at the little
end of the horn. Murray Howe fixed that good and
plenty when he arranged to trot the big money heats
first and second.

Get a pencil and a sheet of white paper and go to
figuring it out for yourself. If you ao you will discover
that it is a hard one to beat, and that the only way to
get any money out of it is to race horses from the drop
of the hat. And those who were there can, by jogging
their memories a little, recall how much more enjoy-
able the three-beat races were than, for instance, that
drawn out three-in-five event that Will Leyburn final-
ly won. There was a something about it that made
you want to stand up on your chair and hurrah for
the man who had the genius to invent the system and
the nerve to give it a trial. They never thought of
the awful disadvantage of having to look clear across
the track to watch a field start for the half-mile dash.
All they remembered was the lightning-like speed at
which the horses came to the wire and set a new
world's record forthe distance. The starts from the
head of the stretch for the mile-and-an-eighth heats
were not annoying, and if they had been the flight of
the horses past the wire at a two-minute gait was
enough to make the people forget that there had
been any delay or anything that was not what it
should have been. The simple truth is that the two
races I am talking about made a big hit, and if there
should be no other kind of harness races all this year
we would not only not be any worse off, but in my
humble opinion there would be a decided increase of
interest in the harness game. If we cannot come to
dash racing,then I am heartily in favor of the universal
adoption of the Memphis svstem. You will Dardon me
if I tell you that the man who expects the half-mile
dash on top of a dash of a mile and another of an
eighth longer to work any harm to the trotting breed
is in need of a new think tureen. And that is all that
it is necessary to say about it. If we wait for the
Memphis system to injure the trotter and pacer we
will have to do all the waiting in our coffios, for it
won't come in your time, nor mine, even if we live to
be a thousand years old."

Shadow Chimes 2:06$, whose handsome and racy
proportions are pictured on the front page of the
Breeder and Sportsman this week, was raced by
"Ed Geers and was one of the fastest pacers out during
last season. He is by the Palo Alto bred stallion
Chimes and his dam is Charmer, a daughter of Mam*
brino King.

Weights for the Big Handicaps.

The weights for the Brooklyn, Suburban and Brigh-
ton handicaps this year were announced yesterday
and from now until the races are run there will be no
end of speculation among followers of the turf as to the
probable winners. When the entries to these rich
handicaps were made public several weeks ago it was
universally conceded that the fields to go to the post
would be of a much higher class than usual. With the
weights attached, it is the consensus of opinion that
the handicaps will provide better sport than has been
seen on local tracks in many years. Handicapper W.
S. Vosburg has assigned topweight, 127 pounds, to
Clarence H. Mackay's noted Banastar, in the Brooklyn
and Suburban handicaps. Banastar, it will be re-
membered, won tbe Metropolitan Handicap last spring
in impressive style but in the Brooklyn, for which he
was made favorite, the horse was badly cut down and
did not race again. On a plane with Banastar in the
Suburban, Handicapper Vosburgh has placed J. B.
Haggin's Watercolor, with 127 pounds too, thereby
showing that in his estimation Watercolor is the best
four-year-old in training. Last year Watercolor show-
ed ability to carry weight and go a distance with the
best horses in the east, so that he has also been asked
to carry the highest impost, 126 pound*, in the Brigh-
ton.

L. V. Bell's Alcedo, who won the Suburban last year
in the fastest time ever made in that event, stands
third in the Suburban and second in the Brooklyn,
with 125 points for each event, while in the Brighton
his burden will be 124 pounds, close behind Watercolor.
Gen. F. C. McLewee's Gold Heels, winner of the Wood-
lawn Vase last year, comes next in all three events,
with Frank Farrell's Blues on equal terms with him.

W. C. Whitney's Ballyhoo Bey had weight assigned
in both the Suburban and Brooklyn, but it is not likely
he will race at all this season. Frank Farrell's Bonni-
bert has 123 pounds in the Suburban, 122 in the Brook-
lyn and 121 in the Brighton. W. C. Rollins' Herbert,
who was a consistent handicap horse last year, is rated
well up among the top notchers together with Capt.
S. S. Brown's much talked of colt, Garry Herrmann,
who was favorite for the American Derby a year ago
in the winter books but went wrong early in the spring
W. H. Laudeman's Hernando is asked to shoulder 120
pounds in both the Brooklyn and Suburban with a
pound less in the Brighton. J. G. Follansbee's crack
colt Roehampton, whose winning streak as a three
year old is still remembered, may have a following as
he is let into the Brooklyn with 118 pounds and into
the other two events with 117. Green B. Morris1 two
candidates, Autolight and Watercure, have compara-
tively light imposts, and as both have been running
strongly on the coast this winter, they are bound to
be considered. August Belmont's Brigadier, who
holds the record of 1:37 4-5 for a mile on a circular
track made at Sheepshead Bay last year, looks dan-
gerous with only 109 pounds in the Brooklyn, 108 in
the Suburban and 107 in the Brighton. J. A. Mona-
han's The Rhymer, who has taken the measure of
many of the older horses on a muddy track, may be a
factor with his light weight in all three races. W. C.
Whitney's great three year old filly Endurance by
Right gets into the Brooklyn with 106 pounds, and
Clarence H. Mackay's star colt Heno's burden in the
Suburban is 107 pounds, but as in previous years,
despite Conroy's victory in the Brooklyn a year ago,
there is a feeling among turfmen that three year olds
cannot be expected to show winning form in these im-
portant events. So, in all probability Endurance by
Right and Heno will be passed up, unless their owners
voluntarily withdraw them.

Mr. Mackay's Gulden and Kamara have light im-
posts in the Brooklyn, and his Western colt His Emi-
nence, who won the Kentucky Darby last year, has 110
pounds in the Suburban. Trigger, also owned by Mr.
Mackay, has been liberally treated in both of these
races. Buckley & Bailey's Toddy, the winner of the
Brighton Handicap last summer, is another light-
weight carrier. Jacob Worth's fine gelding, Oom
Paul, who showed remarkable stamina in his two year
old form, has only 100 pounds in both the Brooklyn
and Suburban, which means that many a good bet
will be placed on his chances if he goes to the starter
in either event. J. G. Follansbee's Keynote, with but
92 pounds in the Brooklyn and Suburban and 93 in the
Brighton, cannot fail to attract a loyal following.
Petra II., the consistent little mare, is another possible
factor with 02 in the Brooklyn and 93 in the Brighton.
Old Alsike, "Father Bill" Daly's warhorse, has the
lowest weight of all, 86 pounds, in the Brooklyn. The

Disapproves Matinee Pictures.

[American Sportsman.)
The very worthy vice-president of one of the leading
matinee clubs of the west, John R. Thompson of 38
State street and 175 Madison street, Chicago, does not
approve of matinee pictures in a harness horse journal.
Mr. Thompson said to a representative of the Amerieam
Sportsman last week that it looked to him like a cheap
way of advertising. Another gentleman, who is less
pretentious and does not live in Chicago, fully approves
the picture advertising, but said he feared it might
injure his credit in the banks sbould they witness a
picture of his handsome form and Chesterfield pose in
a 65-pound speed wagon, behind a $900 trotter. We
are glad to know, however, that cases like the above
are very rare. Robert Bonner, a Christian gentlemen
of rare modesty, took great pride in a picture that a
sketch artist made of him driving Lady Palmer and
Flatbush Maid, and W. K. Vanderbilt paid good money
for a picture of his once champion drive with Maud S.
and mate, and Frank Work, even now points with
pride to the picture on the wall, of h*s team drive in
1884, of Edward and Dick Swiveler in 2:16}. The
prejudice of a few very fair horse fanciers, against
being known as horsemen is probably a hereditary
trait, coming down from the time when our pious fore-
fathers and foremothers regarded the horse as an
engine of war and an instrument for unlawful sport.
To-day among all people of intelligence — Christians as
well as the more worldly minded — the horse is regarded
as man's best, most useful, most intelligent and most
recreative animal friend. It is true we gamble on him
somewhat. And do not Christians, so-called, gamble
on wheat and corn and pork and all the products of
the earth and trees? Still we do not refuse pork chops
or wheat bread because of this.

Molly O. H. L., a five year old mare by Robert Mc-
Gregor out of Mabel by Mambrino Howard, therefore
an own sister to the champion trotter of the world,
sold at the Fasig-Tipton sale last week for $900. The
catalogue stated that she is "a grand individual, a
natural trotter of exceptional speed and if trained
would undoubtedly securea low mark." She was bred
last June to Oakland Baron 2:09}, the horse that sold
for $15,700 an hour before she was put up. If as repre-
sented this mare was the biggest bargain of the sale,
and the comparatively low price paid for her shows
that buyers are capricious. If she foals a colt from
her mating with Oakland Baron it should be worth
more than the sum'paid for the mare. Oakland Baron
is the only stallion whose first and second dams arc
both producers of 2:10 trotters. The dam of Molly
O. H. L. has produced four In the list, two of them
being 2:10 performers and one the world's champion.
Taking other sales into consideration, Molly O. H. L.
should have brought $3000 at least.

TROPHIES FOR RACING.

A Custom that Should be Fostered in America.

Rome learned horse racing from Greece, and the
Romans carried the pastime with them into Britain.
The earliest racing- in England, at Chester in 1512, was
attended by the presentation to the winner of a silver
bell by the Company of Saddlers in the presence of the
mayor.

This custom was kept up for many years, the city
of Chester subscribing an allowance toward the ex-
pense of bells. Gold bells were later added to sweep-
stakes at York, and gradually grew in value from 3
shillings to £10 in 1625, after the great impetus given
racing by the accession of the Stuarts. James I., after"
establishing horse racing in Scotland, patronized and
saw it prosper in England.

After Charles I. came to the throne racing still grew
under his patronage. Newmarket was established ,
and Charles gave a silver cup of the value of 100
guineas to be run for instead of bells. During the civil
wars racing languished, although Cromwell is said to
have favored the sport, but after the restoration in
1660 it took on new life, and royal plate was given at
each of the principal courses by Charles II. This
monarch was the first to enter and run a horse in his
own name. Queen Anne was much devoted to the
sport, and not only gave royal plate to be competed
for, but ran horses for it in her own name.

In 1706 the Doncaster races were established, when
four guineas a year were voted by the town corpora-
tion toward a plate. In 1716 the Town Plate was
established by the municipal government to be run
for annually, and it remains today one of the most
famous trophies of the English turf. The first gold
cup was given by Queen Anne in 1710, and was valued
at 60 guineas. It was a four-mile heat race, and was
won by Bay Bolton, whose blood is traced to many
American bred horses. The Ladies* Plate was estab-
lished at York in 1716, and a piece of plate contributed
by ladies was competed for by lady riders in 1725 on
Ripon Heath in Yorkshire.

The gold cup originally run at York under Anne
was transferred to Ascot in 1807, where it is run for
annually in the spring in the presence of the largest
gathering of royalty and nobility seen on any race
course in England. This trophy is now known as the
Ascot Gold Cup, though from 1845 to 1853 it was called
the Emperor's Plate, because during those years it
was donated by the Emperor of Russia. In 1854, dur-
ing the Crimean War between England and Russia,
when gifts were not passing between the two countries,
it again took the name of the Ascot Gold Cup, which
it has ever since kept.

The present king, when Prince of Wales, always
sojourned at Ascot during the week of the spring
meeting, and daily, before the first race, entered the
grounds and drove with a retinue of carriages and
company up the course in front of the multitude to
the royal stand. It is said the king will resume racing
in his own name, which he discontinued during the
mourning period, and it is to be presumed he will con-
tinue his visits and the royal parades at Ascot.

The Queen's Vase was first given in 1838, shortly
after Victoria's ascession, and in 1865 the Alexandra
Plate was established in the name of the then Princess
of Wales, now the queen.

Besides the many royal gifts in England to the sport
York, Liverpool, Doncaster, Manchester and other
cities and towns vote annually money or plate to the
local race meetings.

Under the rules of the English Jockey Club a "cup"
is any prize not given in money. The chief, if not the
only, challenge trophies of England are the New Mar-
ket Challenge Cup and Whip, which were purchased
in 1768 by subscription of 5 guineas each by twenty-
five gentlemen, and have ever since remained onen to
competition. These antique racing prizes are the sub-
ject of separate contests, the winner of each retaining
it until challenged and defeated, but the property in
them remaining iD The Jockey Club, and in no case
can either leave the United Kingdom.

The most celebrated racing trophy in America, and,
indeed, in any country, is the Woodlawn Vase. It is
a superb piece of work by Tiffany, some thirty inches
high, surmounted by a representation of the great
horse Lexington, and embellished by other statuettes
of Victory and the horse and racing figures of the
most striking design and workmanship.

It was presented by the famed Kentucky breeder,
R. A. Alexander, of Woodburn, to the old Woodlawn
Association of Louisville in I860, to be run for at its
spring and Fall meetings at four miles and to be won
successively three times before becoming the property
of the winner. Its history takes in the last period of
Southern racing before the war and its first period
thereafter. At the first races held for the cup, in 1861
Captain Moore, of Kentucky, scored two wins with
the horses Mollie Jackson and Idlewild, and then, the

war forcing suspension of racing, the vase, with all
the other valuable Alexander silver, was buried and
remained buried at Woodburn throughout the con-
tinuance of the conflict. In 1866 and 1867 efforts were
made to revive the race. Asteroid in 1866 and Merrill
in 1867, both by Lexington, and hoth belonging to Mr.
Alexander, walked over for the vaie. In the autumn
of 1867, General Abe Buford's Harry of the West, by
Lexington, beat Lee Paul for the trophy, but the
Woodlawn Association, becoming financially involved,
returned the vase to Mr. Alexander. The Louisville
Jockey Club, under the presidency of Colonel M.
Lewis Clark, purchased the vase in 1878 and added it
to the Great American Stallion Stakes of that year.
The Dwyer Bros.' Bramble, with McLaughlin up, won
it, and they took it East with them and returned it
temporarily to Tiffany's, where it excited much in-
terest.

During succeeding years the vase was added io sev"
eral races in the East, to be won twice by the same
horse. In 1883, 1884 and 1885 it was added to the Great
Long Island Stakes at Sheepshead Bay at two mile
heats. Eole won it in 18S3 and the great Miss Wood-
ford in 1884 and 1885, again making the vase theprop:
of the Dwyers.

It was subsequently raced for without being won,
the last occasion being at the last meeting at Jerome
Park, when J. W. Rogers won it with Sir Excess on
September 24, 3894, beating the Dwyer Bros.' Banquet,
and the Dwyer Bros., on the last day of the same
meeting (October 4th) beating in turn Sir Excess with
Banquet. The first race was at a mile and a furlong,
and the last one at a mile and a quarter. The vase
remained the property of the Dwyers until about a
year ago, when it became the property of the West-
chester Racing Association. At the special request of
Tiffany & Co. the vase was given a conspicuous posi-
tion among their exhibits at the late Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo.

The Dwyer Bros, during the ownership of the trophy
donated it for the several contests in which it was a
prize, until they finally parted with it to the West-
chester Association. The Westchester Association
has added the vase to its Morris Park Autumn Weight
for Age Race, the conditions being that it should be-
come the property of the winner only when he shall
have won it twice consecutively. The stake has also
33000 added, and is for three year olds and over, at
two miles and a quarter. It was raced for first last
fall, the good horse Gold Heels scoring, with Water-
color second and Blues, entered by the Fleischmanns,
third. The only other notable cups of this country
was one given by Mr. W. Travers in his lifetime to the
stake called for him at Saratoga, and one given by
Mr. August Belmont to the winner of The Belmont at
Westchester.

The Travers Stake is still an important event at
Saratoga, but the trophy ceased at the death of Mr.
Travers. The Belmont at Westchester was named for
the elder Belmont in his lifetime, but the cup was first
added by the younger and present Mr. Belmont in
1895, and was won by him in that year, as the Travers
Cup was once won by the old racing firm of Hunte:* &
Travers, of which Mr. Travers was a member. The
Travers prize was in the shape of a trunk, or an up-
right, with branches for fruit, and the Belmont Cup
was first a figure of the statuette description, but has
since taken the uniform shape of a large silver dish,
or tray, for the centre of the table.

Cincinnati, through the generosity of the well-known
racing patron Mr. Flieschman. will give a cup to be
called the Cincinnati Cup. This cup like that of the
Travers and the Belmont, will be a presentation prize.
That is. it ivill not be a challenge cup, subject to be
called for other contests, but will go as often as offered
to the winner as his property to grace his home, and
the homes of his children forever.

It will be the first cup offered to any association
racing under the Western Jockey Club rules, and it is
important for those horsemen expecting to contest for
it to know that its value need not be stated in the
conditions of the race, and it will not count as winnings
in estimating the value of the stake. In the east the
rule is, "The value of prizes, not in money, must be
advertised in the conditions, and be estimated in the
value of the race.*' The Western Jockey Club's rule
(No. 167), in part is: "Winnings shall include all prizes
up to the time appointed for the start, * * * but not
second or third money, or the value of any prize not
of money, or not paid in money.

Bob Kneebs is dead. He was one of the characters
of the trotting turf and camointo world wide notoriety
by being accused of "ringing'7 the mare Bethel in
Germany under the name Nelly Kneebs. He spent a
year in prison than for the alleged offense, but before
they got him in limbo he slapped the face of a German
prince and showed that he wasn't afraid of anything
that wore titles. On returning to America he was re-
instated by the American Trotting Association and
during all his driving last ;»ear tried to redeem the
good name he had lost. He was one of the most efficient
horsemen in the country.

New Starting Machines.

Two improvements on the Australian starting
machine, are heralded by the eastern press, one the
invention of Frank Carr, the other devised by Dr.
Crowley of St. Louis.

"Carr's machine is different from the model of last
spring, and looks like a hook and ladder wagon, with
steel stalls protruding from the side. These stalls are
padded to insure against the injury to the horse, and
work on pivots which permit of their folding flush
with the side of the truck, which is mounted on
wheels. The truck is placed crossways on the track,
and as the horses come to it they are turned in the
right direction, the side of the stall pulled out and set
rigidly beside the horse, until every horse in the field
is in place, just as in the stalls in the barns. The
barrier consists of a breast strap, one for each stall,
attached to a stout spring, which works inside the
steel tubing which forms the side of each stall. When
the horses are in place the pressure of a button re-
leases each of these breast straps. They are worked
by the one rod, so they fly back inside the tubing faster
than the eye can follow them, all disappearing simul-
taneously, the machine being so arranged that one
cannot be released without all being released. This
makes a standing start, though the mechanism can be
so arranged as to make a running start if it is desired,
but the one thing which is impossible is for one horse
to have an opportunity to break before another.
They cannot break until the button is pressed, re-
leasing the strap. When the start is made the machine
is immediately hauled from the track."

"On the other hand, Dr. Crowley uses the webbing
as a barrier, but it is the frontispiece of a large inclosed
paddock, running easily. The starter does not release
the barrier at the moment he signals the boys to break,
but waits until every horse in the field has breasted
the webbing and is in motion, the pressure they exert
against the webbing carrying the entire machine along
the track. When all the horses are abreast of the
webbing and on even terms, the webbing is released,
and flies out and upward like a flash, leaving the horses
free to goon about their business. His experiments
at his farm have shown him that after the rear part
of the machine, which is a wooden fence, has been
pulled against the legs of a refractory horse, he very
rapidly makes up his mind to "right about face" and
break with the others. Dr. Crowley's machine has
had a number of practical tests and has accomplished
all that its promoters, Dr. Crowley and Louis Lemp,
expect. Mr. Carr's machine has not yet had a practi-
cal test, but one will be made at the Fair Grounds early
in April, President Tilles, of the Fair Grounds, who has
seen the working model, is quite taken with the inven-
tion, and if it stands the practical test, which it appears
certain it will, it will probably be adopted for the sum-
mer meeting."

The late Captain Ben E. Harris, of San Francisco,
devised a stall machine, years ago, that answers very
well the description of the Carr machine aa given
above. The Captain, who was quite an inventive
genius, also perfected a gate that in the writer's opinion
is better than any of the devices yet patented. The
webbing of this gate was three or four feet wide, made
of strong netting with a two-inch mesh. The springs
which raised it were of the C variety and threw the
webbing outward and upward with great speed.

Not the Same Bloomsbury.

Bonanza, Oregon, Jan. 24, 1902.

Breeder and Sportsman — Will you kindly let
me know whether the horse Bloomsbury, the sire of
Josie G., is the same horse that ran in Sacramento
some thirty years ago against Compromise?

Samttel Walker.

Answer— No: that Bloomsbury was foaled in 1864
and was by Boston out of the dam of Orphan Boy.
He was owned by Tom Atchison. The pedigree of
Bloomsbury, sire of Josie G., is fully set forth in a very
interesting article published in our last issue, and from
the pen ol that well known turf authority, Ralph E.
Tozer. _

The figures compiled by the New York State Racing
Commission show that the tax of five per cent on gross
receipts paid by the racing associations of New York
since the law was passed in 1895 has brought into the
State treasury the sum of $538,389. During the past
five years the enormous sum of $5,S75,000 has been
paid to owners of thoroughbreds in the shape of purses
and stakes. Last year the safes of thoroughbreds at
public auction in New York amounted to $1,631,788, a
sum far in excess of any ever before realized in any
single year. Of this amount $861,642 was paid for
yearlings, 8320.076 for broodmares, $315,070 for horses
in training, 867,000 for stallions, and $58,000 for wean-
lings. There were 1077 yearlings sold, and, as they
realized $861,642, the average was a fraction in excess
of $800 a head, an exceedingly good showing when
it is taken into account that these 1077 sold repre-
sented the total of all consignments, including some
that had been injured in travel, and others about
whose training there was question from physical indi-
cations of unsoundness.

last week for $550.

Prince Alert 2:00} and Anaconda 2:01 J will probably
meet in a match race before the racing season of 1902
shall have passed away.

If your horse is not clipped and is kept in a warm
box stall don't blanket him. He will be better all
around without covering.

A chestnut filly four years old, by Cresceus 2:02} out
of Agnes Donovan by Allie Wilkes, sold for $575 at the
New York sale last month.

Director Joe, a five year old stallion by Director 2:17
out of Josephine Young, the dam of Joe Patchen 2:01},

Gen. Wiles is doing the guideless wonder act at the
Los Angeles matinees, and last Saturday trotted a
quarter in 34 seconds without a driver.

Louise Mac 2:09}, one of the prettiest and fastest
mares ever seen on the New York speedway, sold for
$1500 at the Fasig-Tipton sale last month.

Mr. Ketcham is greatly taken with Silver Bow 2:16
since he has been jogging him at Toledo, and thinks
him fast enough to race and lower his record.

Nearly all the Palo Alto bred horses sold at the re-
cent Fasig-Tipton sale in New York brought more
money than when originally sold by the farm.

Breeders of Morgan horses all report that there is a
large and unsatisfied demand for stallions, mares and
geldings showing the real characteristics of this breed.

Sweet Marie made good at the last Los Angeles
matinee, winning her race in straight heats and trot-
ting one of tbem in 2:15}, driven by her new owner,
William Garland.

Who Is It 2:10}, gray gelding by Nutwood Wilk s
2:161, sold at the midwinter sale in New York last
month for $1850. He was purchased by R. C. Taylor
of Worcester, Mass.

Jasper Ayers 2:09 went through the Fasig-Tipton
salelast month in New York. He brought $700 and
was purchased by David Lamar of New York. Jasper
Ayers is now ten years old.

Mr. Geo. W. Ford is winning races with the get of
his stallion Neernut as often as he starts them at the
Los Angeles matinees. He drove Toughnut to victory
there last week, the fastest heat being 2:22.1.

Mr. Gerken's gelding ; The Monk 2:08}, was crowned
the champion trotter of the Speedway for 1901 at a
meeting of the Executive Committee of the New York
Road Drivers' Association last Saturday night.

The Colorado Springs Driving Association has re-
served the Roswell track from June 7th to June 14th
for its annual meeting. The Roswell track has been
considerably improved since last season and is now
regarded by local horsemen as two seconds faster than
last year.

Jack Groom, who developed and droved the fast
pacer Sir Albert S. 2:08} in all his races, has moved to
Alameda track, where he will open a public training
stable. He has Sir Albert S. in his string and the son
of Diablo is looking bigger and stronger than ever.
He also has a couple of green horses and expects one
or two more shortly.

Mr. Fred B. Taylor, of Los Angeles, who purchased
the pacing mare Primrose at the sale of Mr. M. M.
Potter's horses last December, seems to be able to
drive her about as well as Mr. Potter did. He won
the free for all pace at the last matinee of the Los
Angeles Driving Club, the two heats being paced in
2:12} and 2:13^, fast time for a matinee race.

Pacing horses have the call. They are in demand
almos'. as much as trotters. Instead of trying to get
rid of them several trainers will spend their time this
winter to convert out-classed trotters into pacers.

To Arms, a gray filly foaled in 1898, by Adbell 2:23
out of Sallie Benton (dam of Surpal 2:10, Starlight
2:15} and Nordica 2:152), was SOM at the New York
salelast week for $2300." W. W. Estill, of Lexington,
Kentucky, was the purchaser.

F. Gommet. of this city, purchased one of the gems
of the Palo Alto sale in the mare Zorilla by Dexter
Prince out of Lily Thorne by Electioneer, next dam
the dam of Santa Claus 2:17}. Zorilla is a very hand-
some mare, over sixteen hands high and was foaled in
1897. She is said to be a ringer for the famous mare
Eleata 2:08} that led the money winners on the grand
circuit last year over east. Zorilla was not trained as
a two year old owing to her size, but has a way of
stepping that presages great things in the near future.

Trotting bred horses are bringing good prices right
here in California. When the prices obtained at the
eastern sales are compared with those obtained at the
sales here, the California market must be recognized
as a pretty good one. Of course if a breeder has high
class horses to sell New York is the place, but for
average horses the San Francisco market is as good as
any.

According to a dispatch sent out from Buffalo last
week, it seems as if the Hamlins had practically decided
to dispose of nearly all their trotting and pacing stock
and give up the racing game entirely. The health of
Mr. C. J. Hamlin, head of the concern is such that he
is no longer able to give any time or attention to his
racing interests. Nearly all of the horses at present
controlled by the Hamlins will be sold the coming
season.

A''world's record" that is, in its way, an enviable
one, is held by Mr. William C. Rawson, of Cleveland,
O , formerly at the Wheaton track, near Chicago.
He made the shoes worn by both Star Pointer 1:59}
and Cresceus 2:02} when they established the present
championship records at the two harness gaits. He
also shod John A. McKerron for his amateur cham-
pionship trotting record of 2:06}.

James Faris, Jr., of Sacramento, who purchased the
mare Nellie Benton 2:30, dam of El Rami (4) 2:14 and
El Benton 2:23 by Gen. Benton, at the Palo Alto sale
last week, had her shipped to Nutwood Stock Farm-to
be bred to Nutwood Wilkes this year. Nellie Benton
is in foal to Monbells 2:23J, son of Mendocino and
Beautiful Bells. She is a grandly bred mare, being
out of Norma, the dam of Norval 2:14}, Norris 2:22}
and Nellie Benton 2.30 by Norman 25.

Among the "has beens" that were sold at the New
York auction last week were those once good race
horses, Ottinger 2:09} and Columbus S. 2:17, both bred
in California. Few horses ever campaigned be! ter than
Ottinger, who had a pacing record of 2:16, but per-
formed best at the diagonal gait. Columbus S. won the
Occident, Stanford and other stakes in 1892 and was sold
for a big price. Both these horses have seen their
best days, however, and Ottinger brought but $150,
while Columbus went for $90.

H K. Devereux. of Cleveland, who owns John A.
McKerron by Nutwood Wilkes, the champion amateur
trotting stallion, with a record of 2:06}, will campaign
his horse next fall after the races for the Boston Chal-
lenge Cup in September. "I want to get that chal-
lenge cup," said Mr. Devereux, during a recent con-
versation, "and then I shall see what is in my horse.
I do not know what he can do, but he always did
everything asked of him, and I believe he is the only
trotting stallion that stands a chance of lowering the
colors of Cresceus 2:02}. I shall not drive him myself
after he becomes a professional, but have a driver in
mind who can get the best results from the horse.
There is a vast difference between 2:02} and 2:06, but
I believe McKerron can get there."

W. J. Irvine, of •Sacramento is the owner of a big
chestnut horse called Talisman by Stein way, first dam
Woodline by Woodnut 2:16, second dam Maud by
Whippleton, third dam You Guess by Jack Hawkins,
son of Boston, that he thinks is going t'o be a winner this
season. Tom Holmes worked Talisman three heats at
Lodi on Monday of last week, and drove one of them
in 2:23; , excellent time for that sandy track. Talis-
man is a very handsome horse, sixteen hands high
and weighs 1,145 pounds. He wears no boots, and Mr.
Holmes likes him very much. Mr. Irvine's two year
old April Fool by Bay Bird out of Lady Ainsely by
Our Jack 2:13} is coming very fast and 6hould nothing
happen will be a prominent one when the bell rings
for the Occident and Stanford stakes in 1903.

While, as a rule, the doctrine of heredity will assert
itself with sure ootency, there are exceptions Mr.
Ketcham tells of a case that happened on his farm, just
before the death of Robert McGregor. Mr. Redmond
of New York, had nine high class brood mares on the
Ketcham farm, and while visiting there told Mr.
Ketcham to breed four of the mares to Robert Mc-
Gregor and four to Cresceus. The other mare by
Alcantara, Mr. Redmond said, was not worth breeding
as she had a runt, colt by her side, no bigger than au
Andalusian cat, and that she had never produced anv-
thing worth breaking. Mr. Redmond then presented
the runt colt to Tim Murnen, the farm superintendent,
who sold the measly product, when weaned, for $35.
Mr. Ketcham, however, decided to breed the Alcan-
tara mare to Cresceus, and the result so pleased Mr.
Redmond that he took the colt and paid for the ser-
vice. This colt is now at the Kalamazoo stock farm,
and Mr. Redmond writes that he is one of the most
promising he has ever bred, and will beat 2:20 as a
three-year-old early this season. Hence, it is safe to
infer that true blood will always tell if you hit the
right mingling or nick.— American Sportsman.

Richmond Chief 2:14} will be in the stud at Bakers-
field, Kern County, this year. He is a steel gray or
blue roan horse of very handsome proportions and is a
well bred one, being by Monroe Chief 8:75 sire of
twelve in 2:30 out of the registered mare Ela by A. W.
Richmond, grandamGrey Dale (the dam of Longworth
2:19, sire of El Moro 2:13}) by American Boy Jr.
Richmond Chief Is now owned by Mr. T. H. Fogarty,
Secretary of the Bakersfield Driving Club.

An error is made by the Los Angeles Herald when it
states that the team record of California was lowered
a quarter of a second at the matinee of the local driv-
ing club by Gen. Wiles and Bastina. They stepped
the mile in 2:261. Belle Button and Tom Ryder won a
race at the Oakland track in 1892 in 2:165 and 2:17},
beating Our Dick and Turk Franklin. Tom Ryder
and Belie Button were both pacers as were the team
that contested against them. Gen. Wiles is a trotter
with a record of 2:15, whilo Bastina got a mark of
2:18} at the pacing gait.

Mr. D. Hamm, proprietor of one of Seattles leading
hotels has been in San Francisco for several days on a
visit and last week attended the sale of Palo Alto brood
mares at the Occidental Horse Exchange. Mr. Hamm
purchased Wildmay (dam of L. 96, 216}) by Electioneer,
dam May, (dam of two in the list) by the four mile
thoroughbred horse Wildide, second dam that good
race mare of early days, Mayflower, ore of Palo Alto's
greatest brood mares by St. Clair, and has sent her to
San Jose to be bred to McKinney 2:11}. He also pur-
chased Coralie by Boodle 2:12.1 out of Coral 2:181 full
sister to Anteeo. Coralie was shipped to Seattle this
week. She is in foal to Monbells 2:231.

Advertiser 2:15} sold for $5300 at the Fasig-Tipton
sale. The New York Sun, the harness horse depart-
ment of which is edited by Gurney Gue, gave the fol-
lowing account of this sale: "The lordly Advertiser
2:15}, his seal-brown coat glistening, clean-limbed and
with neck arched as he was led around the ring, headed
the Tracy lot, and it was recalled that he was contem-
porary with the mighty Arion as a youngster and
$60,000 once was refused for him. In 1899 Gan. Tracy
paid $2450 at Cleveland for the stallioo, and after three
years he advanced not a little in popularity. Adver-
tiser started at $2000, a stranger crying that bid, rap-
idly advanced to the S3000 mark, where David Lamar
held the boards. Lamar and Mr. Whiteley of Muncie,
Ind., battled until $3500 was reached, which retired
the local man. W. Harry Orr of Reading, Pa., then
fought it out with Whiteley to a desperate finish. One
hundred at a time had been the order from $2500 to
$5000, then after raises of $50 the horse finally reached
$5300, Mr. Whiteley 's bid, and Mr. Orr said 'let him
have him.' The hammer fell on one of the lest sales
of the year. Advertiser is 14 years old, and save
Adbell, the champion yearling 'rotter, has sired
nothing especially sensational with the best of oppor-
tunities."

A SAFE, SPEEDY AND

Brown & Blarney's good horse Lochinvar 2:20 (record
made in the fourth heat of a winning race) will make
the season of 1902 at Marysville. Lochinvar is by
Director H. 2:27, a well bred son of the mighty Director.
The dam of Lochinvar is Venturess by Venture 2:27},
sire of the dam of Directum 2:05;, and his second dam
is by Signal. Lochinvar is a very handsome black
horse, stands 15.21 hands and weighs over 1000 pounds.
He is one of the most level headed and purest gaited
trotters, and will be a valuable acquisition to the
breeding ranks of the section of country in which he
is located. His service fee will be placed at the low
figure of $20. A full brother to Lochinvar will be in
training at the Marysville track this spring and a mare
by Sterling, and Lochinvar will also be trained as soon
as his season is over. These three with a few others
will be raced over the California circuit this year by
Mr. John D. Blarney.

dogs, that there are a number of others imbued with
the same sentiments and sterling enthusiasm,

A coalition of interest in the circuit of dog shows
this season will be going a long ways towards a unity
of interest and the positive development of much ben-
efit to Pacific Coast kennel affairs.

It is proposed to send the Premium List to press
about the 15th inst. and a strong effort is being made
to offer therein one of the best lists of specials ever
given in this city. Responses so far have been gener-
ous and liberal.

It is hoped that under the auspices of prominent
society ladies and gentlemen this show will be the
largest and best ever held this side of the Rockies.

A strong incentive to compass this result is the fact
that the proceeds of the exhibition will be devoted to
different charities under the direction of the patron-
esses of the show.

Aside from the laudable purposes of the club the
opportunity is now ripe for a combination of kennel
interests that demand the attention of Coast fanciers
in view of the ownership and breeding of so mauy
high cla=s dogs of different breeds at present in the
possession of many owners resident upon, as might be
termed, the remote zone of the national kennel world.

San Francisco Bench Show.

The dates for the local dog show are now definitely
selected, being April 23d, 24th, 25th and 26th. This
will bring our show on at the close of the northern
circuit. A number of local fanciers have announced
their intention of not only attending the northern
shows in person, but will also enter their dogs,

The spirit of mutual interest among the fanciers of
the Coast is gradually becoming enlarged and lately
has shown a tendency to take on a broader and more
general development that will undoubtedly be of much
benefit to all the kennel interests concerned.

In this respect a communication received by the
secretary and superintendent of the show. Mi*. L. A.
Klein, from a prominent and whole-souled fancier of
Seattle, Mr. Julius Redelsheimer, is most significant
and which we take the liberty of quoting in. full:

Seattle, Wash., Feb. 1, 1902.

Mr. L. A. Klein, Superintendent S. F. Kennel Club —
Dear Sir: Your wire of recent date, as well as your
letter of the 28th ult , to hand, and I desire to express
myself in behalf of the "dog" men at this end.

We were very much pleased with the spirit of your
letter and wire, and while we show under different
auspices we must never forget the interest of the dog.
It will be utterly impossible for me to change any
dates. The Victoria show starts the 3d, 4th and 5th
of April, Seattle following on the 9th, 10th, 11th and
12th. The Portland Kennel Club has asked of the
Pacific Kennel League dates for the following week:
April 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th.

All shows having made arrangements according to
above dates, it would be hard at this time to change.
If your club will follow the Portland show, will say
that I will do my part to see that there are good,
large handlers' prize given at the three shows —
enough to compensate some good handler to bring a
large si ring. I would say a contingency prize; so
many dogs from California, a certain amount — if in-
creased a still greater prize to be given. In that way
it will compensate a handler well. Will also add that
I will guarantee that I will make every effort to recip-
rocate, and will even go so far as to attend your show
in person.

I have never had the pleasure of meeting many of
the San Francisco dog men, but am pleased to say that
I have been in correspondence with Mr. N. H. Hick-
man. Will again add let us be good dog men and
work for the best interests of the dog, letting all our
little personalities be thrown one side.

Wishing your show all the success that you yourself
can wish it, with regards to Mr. Hickman and hoping
to see you all in the near future, I remain
Yours respectfully,

Julius Redelsheimer.
We have not the pleasure ot a personal acquaintance
with Mr. Redelsheimer, but from what we know of
him in the past the above communication is in keep"
iDg with his deserved reputation as a gentleman fancier
and fair-minded sportsman. We also feel impelled to
state our firm conviction, that among the ranks of the
northern ladies and gentlemen who are interested in

Some New Fox Terrier Importations.

Meeting ot the Fly-Casters.

An enthusiastic meeting of the members of the San
Francisco Fly-Casting Club was held on Tuesday even-
ing in the assembly room of the Mills Building.

The annual election of officers resulted as follows1

President, Walter D. Mansfield; First Vice-President,
Colonel Geo. C. Edwards; Second Vice-President, H.
F. Muller; Secretary-Treasurer, T. W. Brotherton;
Captain, -H. Battu. Executive Committee — Horace
Smyth, C. G. Young, Ed Everett, J. S. Turner, F. H.
Reed.

The casting contests of the club will be held this year
at Stow lake as heretofore. The initial meeting will
take place on Saturday, February 15th, at 2:30 P. M.,
and continued on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock.

The schedule of contests this season will be on about
the same plan as prevailed last season, viz: teD con.
tests, Saturday and Sunday meetings twice a month:
the first five meetings of the series will be for classifi-
cation, the concluding five contests being class contests.

To enable the club members to prepare for the open-
to-the-world fly-casting tournament which is now be-
ing arranged, there will not be any regular club fly-
casting contests between June 7th and August 23d-
The open tournament will be held presumably duriDg
the last week of July or first week of August. This
arrangement has been made so that the meeting will-
be convenient fortheattendance of Eastern sportsmen.

This tournament is now regarded as a fixed feature
and will do doubt be a success. A large attendance of
fly-casters is anticipated. The club will put up a num-
ber of elegant trophies for the different events, also a
list of handsome prizes will be offered by different
anglers who are interested in the success of the tourna-
ment.

The schedule of fly-casting contests at Stow lake,
for this season, will be issued, possibly, next week.

Chas. B. Hollywood, J. Homer Fritch and Fred W-
Lees were elected members of the club. The member-
ship roll, it is proposed, will be supplemented with a list
often honorary members. This list will be composed of

WANDEE KENNELS' VIBO.

will be Bristles kennel mate.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The Chicago Pet Dog Club will be known hereafter
as the Chicago Kennel Club. Permission to change
the title of the club having been granted by the
A. K. C.

The Cocker Spaniel Champion Red Roland died at
Ottawa. January 5th, after having been on the sick
list for a few days. Red Roland was whelped in 1S90,
and was especially well known to Cocker breeders in
the Dominion.

James L. Little has been suspended for a period of
eighteen months by the A. K. C. executive board.
Mr. Little's suspension was ordered for fraudulent en-
try of the dog Newcastle Zizi in the classes for French
Bulldogs at the Washington and Danbury shows of
1900. and the Atlanta show of 1901. The wins of Zizi
were recommended for cancellation.

A correspondent of the Field writes: "If salt is
detrimental to canine health I have failed to discover
the fact after a trial of over forty years. My dogs
always have salt with their food, and it is no more
hurtful to them than earth, which, as I stated some
weeks ago, they constantly eat. Giving salt to dogs
does not prevent them from eatiDg filth, to which dis-
gusting habit I fear I may say all puppies, and many
dogs which ought to know better, are unfortunately
prone."

gentlemen who are known as experienced anglers and
who havea standing of eminence in theranksof public
life, professional or business vocations. The eligible
must reside without the counties of San Francisco. San
Mateo, Alameda and Marin.

President Walter D. Mansfield submitted a com-
munication conveying the pleasant news that a fly-
casting club will shortly be organized in Portland,
Oregon, where it is proposed to hold a tournament in
1905 during the World's Fair. The new club will be
formed under the auspices of the Oregon Fish and
Game Association.

It is advocated by a number of gentlemen interested
in fly-casting that clubs be formed throughout this
State and on the Coast wherever suitable water can
be found to allow of indulgence in the pastime.

Among the members present at the meeting were:
W. D. Mansfield, J. S. Turner, Henry Skinner, H. F,
Muller, C. G. Young, A. Battu, Jas. Watt, S. A. Heller
F. E. Daverkosen, Dr. W. E. Brooks, Charles Huyck

Charles F. Grant, T. W. Brotherton.

Steelhead fishing at Point Reyes last Friday was ex-
cellent and several fine fish were caught on the last
day of the season. John Butler landed three fish, the
largest weighed fourteen pounds: John Gallagher, F.
Carroll and G. Luttrell also hooked some large fish in
excellent condition.

Striped bass are still in evidence, R. W. McFarland
landed a thirteen pound fish on Sunday while trolling

Quo Vadis Striped Bass Club.

Such is the club name adopted by ten salt water
anglers who have this week perfected arrangements
to enjoy striped bass fishing in the waters of Petaluma
creek and its tributaries in the vicinity of Burdell a
station, Sonoma county.

The membership of the new club includes A. M.
Cumming, A. Dalton Harrison, George W. Emmons,
Will S. Kittle, John B. Coleman, F. T. Hayes, Henry
Landsberger, W. F. Bogart, Fred H. Busbnell and
Edward Painter. .

The club house will be one of the best appointed
houseboats ever placed in the waters of San Francisco
bay This boat, Fred H. Bushnell's well known
Cuckoo, is fitted up not only in a sumptious manner
but with every convenience for the syndicate of anglers
who have purchased her. The boat has six comfort-
able and large sleeping apartments, a commodious
drain* or sitting room, cosily fitted with couches, etc.
A big kitchen, completely fitted with a full complement
"of culinary utensils, is another satisfactory feature of
the transfer.

With the ark is included a gasoline launch and a
number of row boats.

The Cuckoo, for a number of years past, both at
Tiburon cove and at Greenbrae, on the Corte Madera
creek near the railroad bridge, has been, during the
pleasant summer months, an outing headquarters for
Busbnell and his friends and also has been the scene
of many hospitable entertainments and re-unions
where its genial owner has provided lavish welcome to
manv prominent clubmen, theatrical celebrities and
other people more or less eminent in public life here
and in the East.

The newly organized club has started under very
pleasant and auspicious circumstances and will no
doubt have many delightful summer days in a happy
location that is to be visited to cause its manifold ex-
cellencies to be appreciated.

A Fight With a Big Sea Bass.

Perhaps the most exciting event in the history of
angling in California up to that time was the taking
by Frank V. Kider, of New York, secretary of the Tuna
Club, the season before last of a black sea bass weigh-
ing 327 pounds— a fish that was caught with rod and
reel and a twenty-one-thread linen line. Almost tne
entire population of Avalon turned out to meet the
angler/and the catch gave Mr. Eider fame, and made
him the holder of the club black sea bass medal and
cup Next to the tuna, in the estimation of various
takers of big fish with rods, the black sea bass is con-
sidered one of the greatest of game fishes. At the
time it was thought impossible to beat this catch, but
last year the honor passed from New York to Phila-
delphia T. S. Manning, one of the executive com-
mittee of the Tuna Club, has defeated Mr. Kider by
taking a 372 pounder.

Mr Manning began fishing at Catalma Island last
year on May 1st, and ended the last of September.
On his last'trip for black bass he went to a favorite
spot about two miles south of Avalon bay. Here the
water is two or three hundred feet deep within almost
casting distance of the wall of rock. The latter has a
circling beard of kelp which rises from the great
depths, its long leaves swinging in the current in tidal
measure. In this fishing, one must have the anchor
ready to throw off, there being no time to haul it in
after the fish strikes-so terrific is the rush. The
tackle Mr. Manning used was the regulation Tuna
Club outfit— a light rod with a reel that would hold
1000 feet of twenty-one-strand line. The bait was a
piece of albicore, a toothsome dainty to the king of
the bass. Patience is sometimes required in this bass
fishino-. Half an hour passed before the line began to
twitch and quiver and run out in the way peculiar to
the biting of this big fish, which nibbles like small
fry Ten or twelve feet had slipped away before he
struck Then the angler cried, "Cast off 1 " to the
boatman, and the vicious hissing of line through the
water told the story. The rush was so violent that
the moment the big brake was put on the reel the
heavy boat whirled around as on a pivot. They went
rushing away, stern first, after one of the wildest of
the sea horses. .

The fish made its first run directly out to sea, taking
800 feet of the Une before it could be stopped. The
Mexican boatman was backing water all the time— a
necessary move, as without it the bass would have
taken all the line. When the boat is forced in the
same direction as the fish the angler can usually stop
the fish when it has taken 600 feet of the line, after
which it will tow the boat. While it was perfectly
calm in the lee of the island, beyond the point it was
blowing hard and white-caps covered the surface; it
was in this direction that the fish rushed. Mr. Man-
ning fought the fish hard, endeavoring to stop it, reel-
inAn when an opportunity offered, but invariably
lo°in<r the line gained when the fish surged down and

made a fine burst of speed. In a short time it had
towed the boat into the rough water, and, there being
no way of turning, the sea began to break over the
stern. Now the fish circled about the boat, ever
surging down, and at the end of an hour and a quarter
Mr. Manning found himself three miles from shore,
with not ten feet gained. In fact, the fish had gained
200 feet, and 800 feet of line was out, It was evident,
as a wave swept over the boat, that should the fish
pull harder than usual on the line at a time the rail
was near the water the craft would fill.

Matters Degan to look serious when suddenly the
fish turned shoreward, perhaps forced by the efforts
of the angler, and they moved toward the rocky sea-
lion rookery that forms the south end of the island.
The fisherman did not wish to lose the fish, as it was
undoubtedly a large one, yet in such a sea to fight it to
a finish was suicidal, so he determined to try the effect
of some oil which he had in the boat. Some was
turned overboard by the boatman, aud the effect was
marvelous; it spread around the boat and at once pro-
duced a calm that augured well for the success of gaff-
ing. It was a singular spectacle— a sea of white caps
all about, but in one small spot a low yawl boat floating
in water perfectly calm. Then, probably for the first
time, a fish was taken with the aid of oil. The boat-
man now took in his oars and devoted himself to the
oil can, while Mr. Manning began to fight the fish by
what is known as the pumping method, as the game
was down perhaps several hundred feet. This consists
of reeling until the tip of the rod is near the surface,
then lifting until the rod is upright, dropping it
quickly to reel as it drops, to lift again.

This presently began to have its effect, and in twenty
minutes the big creature was within fifty feet of the
boat, and the weary angler was dispose! to raise a
cheer. Repeatedly it broke away, but finally, three
hours and a half after the strike and half a mile off the
sea-lion rock, the fish was reeled to the surface, and as
it made a rush the Mexican boatman thrust his heavy
tuna gaff beneath it and gaffed it. The fish rolled over,
nearly throwing the man from the boat, and with one
lift of it mighty tail deluged boat and men. But it was
theirs, the mightiest bass ever landed, so they believed.
Lashing the gaff they cut its throat, then with dif-
ficulty ran a rope through its gills and out of its
mouth and had it secure. It was a monster, too big
to take into the boat, too big to tow, and they were in
a quandary. Fortunately a larger boat came along,
whose occupants offered, with the spirit that animates
all sportsmen, to get into the Manning boat and give
their own to the fish. By the united efforts of six
men the fish was hauled into the empty boat and the
two boatmen now began to row to Avalon, where the
giant was hoisted ashore by means of the wharf crane,
and found to weigh 372 pounds, beating the record of
Mr. Rider by forty-five pounds.

The black sea bass is very abundant at Catalina and
not unpalatable when cooked properly. At an annual
banquet of the Tuna club the piece de resistance was
a black sea bass of sixty or seventy pounds, which
silenced critics by proving good eating.

AT THE TRAPS.

The proposed consolidation of three local trap shoot-
ing organizations, the Olympic, Lincoln and San
Francisco Gun Clubs seems to meet with general en-
dorsement and by many shooters is regarded as a
good move in the right direction.

The membership of the three clubs above mentioned
is to a great extent comprised of the same shooters-
some sportsmen are members of all three clubs and
most of them members of two clubs.

This state of affairs is not conducive to the best
interests of the sport nor to the strength of the
individual club. A combination of effort and interest
by one amalgamated organization can accomplish
more, for live bird shooting as well as blue rock meet-
ings than where the interests are diversified by several
clubs, neither of which are strong enough to warrant
three independent organizations where under the cir-
cumstances one would suffice.

At a meeting of the San Francisco Gun Club, a com-
mittee consisting of Jos. J. Sweeney, Clarence A.
Haight and G. H. T. Jackson were appointed to confer
with representatives of the other two clubs for the
purpose of bringing about the proposed consolidation.
The Olympic Gun Club held a meeting last evening
for the purpose of taking favorable action m the

mTherUmon and Empire Gun Clubs will announce a
trap shooting program, possibly next week, both clubs
will continue as separate organizations.

The California Wing Club propose to offer the mem-
bers a *ood live bird program for this season and will
also increase the value and amount of prizes for the

^The^Emph-r' Club will open their season on the
.rounds atllameda Point with a blue rock shoot on
Sunday, March 2d.

Ode to "Crotalus Lucifer."

J. MAYNB BALTIMORE.

Coiled in a heap, the vicious reptile lies;
His flat head low, wide ope' his Hdless eyes;
So still is he, he seems quite fast asleep.
Yet now and then there is so sly a peep.

His long round body in graceful pose,
The bronzed skin, the pointed nose,
Attract the eye, the senses charm,
But warn to keep from reach of harm.

Drawn by subtle power one Is held,
Charmed to advance, and still repelled.
Alternate spots of black and white.
Shine with dull hues in Bitting light.

Slowly his mottled coil he shifts;
Quickly upright, his head he lifts;
Some sound his Sluggish ears detect,
All his fierce instincts are erect.

A sudden attack he doesn't like.
And, instant goes, upon "a strike;"
From gaping mouth his tongue he darts,
With anger'd strength, his scaly body starts.

From horny tail the s-k-t-r-r-i-n-g-note is sung,
"Tread not on me, or you'll get stung."

The black rattlesnake [Crotulvs I/ucifer) is quite com-
mon in many parts of Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia.

Those who go out hunting and fishing in some
regions during the sweltering days of summer, are
afforded rare opportunities of forming an intimate
acquaintance with these extremely interesting (?)
creatures.

Last summer a jolly crowd of anglers went out for a
few days' sport in Stevens county, Washington. The
writer was a member of the party. There were all
kinds of rattlers — long, short, lean and fat snakes.
We fished in a beautiful little mountain lake and in
two small streams — one emptying into the lake and
one flowing out.

It was difficult to determine which were more numer-
ous— the fish or snakes. Our crowd caught great
strings of trout and we had a real royal time. Plenty
of fish to eat and fine water to drink. There were two
serious drawbacks to our pleasure — sweltering weather
and rattlesnakes.

The latter were disposed to be friendly and intimate.
They really insisted upon being neighborly — of
visiting our camp. Some actually invaded our beds
and wished to remain over night with us. Of course,
this honor we were compelled to decline with thanks.
But the party made havoc with these ugly, hideous
crawlers. It was death on sight to every snake. How
many we killed no one knows. At first the boys felt
very ticklish, but they soon got used to the snakes and
lost their fear. Still, they never would let one of them
get away alive. Really, it was a wonder that some of
the party were not bitten. All were lucky enough to
escape unscathed. Still, the boys were ready for
emergencies, having thoughtfully brought along a
number of bottles filled with potent "snake medicine."
That trip would have afforded a rare treat to a stu-
dent in herpetology. He could have stud;ed the ge-
nus snake leisurely and to signal advantage. Being a
lover of Natural History, I took no little interest in
watching these truly repulsive and disgusting crea-
tures. Somehow there is a repulsive fascination about
them. No wonder so many scintists become deeply
absorbed in the study of "snakology."

The boys skinned a good many of the snakes, and
captured the rattles and trophies. A number of the
skins were dressed and made into belts. They are
suggestive looking articles.

Finally, we broke camp and started for the Valley.
Soon after starting, the team came across a big rattler
that was coiled up snugly in the middle of the road.
The audacious reptile disputed the right of way. It
refused to stir, and donned its war paint. Both horses
refused to advance, and matters were at a standstill
until one of the boys riddled the serpent with a
load of bird shot. It measured a few inches over four
feet in length. When the crowd got home they had
some modest fish stories to relate; but, the snake
yarns overshadowed everything else. The joke of it
was that they were mostly true.
That is how I came to pen the ode to his snakeship.
Prof. John Muir, the noted geologist and naturalist
of California, in his new and magnificent book entitled
"Our Parka," enters a strange plea in behalf of the

rattlesnake. '

He says he never killed but two of these reptiles
and that he ia heartily ashamed for having done so-
According to Prof. Muir's idea Crotalus is a harm_
less sort of fellow, unless pushed and attacked; tha
he will always glide silently away if allowed an oppor-
tunity of making his escape, etc. ,,.,„„.
If Prof. Muir had been one of our party on that out-
ran I am sure his views would have undergone a
radical change. He would have found the rattler any-
thing but an amiable creature. On the contrary, he
would have found him aggressive and always spoiling
for a figbt.

[February 8, 1902

As to Cogs.

Dogs are the most widely disseminated creatures
known to man. Compared with him, the mosquito
maybe said to fiock alone. The dog has doubtless
penetrated from pole to pole and infests all that region
that lies between. He is the practical sewer of the
Orient and is pretty much the only sewer it knows.
Almost every dog regrets that it is not an Oriental
dog. As city sewers in the East, dogs are particularly
valuable in promoting the economy of municipal taxes.

The dog is beloved and made a fool of by the rich
and is tolerated and deplored by the poor. The poorer
a man is the more dog he has visited upon him by a
Providence whose ways are inscrutable. Doubtless
each newly acquired dog incites the poor man to a
more desperate resistance to poverty. As a pet of the
rich woman, the dog gives employment to the veter-
inary: the rich man's dog is seldom well and the poor
man's dog seems unable to become ill if he wants to.

Thus it will be seen that dogs have special and gen-
eral uses.

Mosquitos. tadpoles, frogs— one may hark back from
one to the other, but no one knows to what be must
revert in his search of creation for the primitive dog.
A dog isn't a degenerate or overdeveloped fox, or wolf,
or coyote. He is not any of those things that a great
many different scientists have thought he might be if
he were closely enough investigated. A dog has
almost the same distinction of being just a dog from
beginning to end.

A dog may locate himself almost anywhere and still
remain a dog — not always in good standing, but un-
mistakably of his own genus.

The dog prefers human society above all other.
His taste may be questioned by those more cynical
than he; but for a dog the judgment is pretty good

All things considered, then, the subject of the dog
should be approached with a serious and dignified
spirit.

The more neglected a dog is the better he thrives.
This is so unlike any other domesticated animal that
it is worthy of note. A dog is the most nervous ani-
mal in the world. Even when he sleeps he moans and
jerks his legs and deports himself in a manner to
denote nightmare or pleasant dreams. A dog's tail is
almost a neurotic necessity. It serves the purpose of
the American rocking chair to the American, for
whom it was designed. A dog, like an American, must
keep something going all of the time or die.

If a man would know when a dog is in a mood to
receive his attentions he should look the dog in the
eye.

A wagging tail is only the rocking-chair element of
canine distraction, but the dilation of the pupil of a
dog's eye indicates that the man who is looking at it
should go home the other way.

A dog is most amenable to the mind cure. A well
poised man can think a dog out of fits if he is given
time enough. The only difficulty in effecting a cure
under such circumstances would be the difficulty of
securing the dog's attention for a sufficient length of
time. A dog with hydrophobia can't put himself into
that receptive mood which mental scientists exact of
their patients.

A dog does not think out, but smells out his animos-
ities and friendships. He arrives at correct conclusions
in this way more quicker than those who intellectually
analyze their emotions.

The howling necessity of a dog's life is bones. Bones
serve several purposes of a dog. A bone, it is said, is
a dog's toothbrush. O'Grady and the dog should
have been admirable and sympathetic companions—
except the dog does not need that his bones should be
grilled.

A perfectly delectable bone, from the view point of
a dog, is a bone entirely dannded of tissue.

The only way to properly serve a dog his bone is
from the ground. All his food should be served thus.
The more dirt he eats with his food the better for the
dog. When the dog was in a wild condition he doubt-
less ate more or less dirt when tearing his food in
pieces on the ground. And if he cannot have it in any
other way in his domesticated condition, it would be
well to serve it in salt cellars. A dog should have dirt
and plenty of it. One good meal in twenty-four hours
is enough for a physically sound dog. In a wild state
he probably did not have a square meal as often, since
it required finesse, much accident and a great deal of
fight to procure anything to eat at all. Quick service
and plenty of it is death to dogs.

A dog's stomach is far too weak to enable him to
thrive on the food that coarse man demands. No
higher living than something months dead is well
suited to a dog's digestion. A garbage heap in bad
odor with the Health Board is best adapted to the
alimentary purpose of the dog.

Dos: biscuits — which one would think doubtful enough
to suit the requirements even of a dog — are bad things
for him.
Hash is better.

A dog agrees with the philosophy that filth is simply

misplaced matter — and he places it as soon as he can.

Tripe is an excellent thing to feed a dog. If you

want to kill him, give him common table salt. That

will do it.

If a dog leads a sedentary life — that is to say. if he
spends his daysin coursing over an area no larger than

* fortv-acre lot his food should be boiled. If meat is

given to such a dog raw, he wants to go out and fight
a policeman.

A dog should be' closely watched when he eats.
When his jaws become flaccid he has eaten all that is
good for him. He may not think so, but it should be
as you decide and not as he thinks. Mrs. R. Wilfer
could have explained the matter to the dog.

Women who are partial to violet scented lapdogs
should feed their dogs rice and peas. In such case the
dogs will be less readily located in the dark.

A feed of hot meat is likely to result in a cold dog,
soon or late.

When a lapdog is ill, the best treatment for him is a
lead tonic. Given in the right way, it will produce
results. If he is well, it is best to give him something
to make him sick — thus suitable lapdog treatment may
be administered legitimately.

For self-respecting and much-respected dogs, ex-
tensive scientific treatment is possible in case a dog
becomes diseased.

To arrive at a physical diagnosis in a dog's case the
dog must be let alone. The operator should sit down
on a barrel or a soapbox out in the stable. The dog
should be tethered before him with plenty of rope and
allowed to roam about. Then watch the dog. If he
lies down on his stomach with some cold, hard sub-
stance under him, he may have inflammation of the
stomach. According to what is his trouble, he will
roam restlessly, slink into the dark miserably, scratch
himself, whine with his nose in his paws, droop his
rocking chair, etc.

If the man on the soapbox understands the diseases
of dogs he will be able to arrive at a knowledge of
what is the matter with the one before him. To carry
the examination further, the dog must be approached
and your hands given him to smell of. If he decides
after that that he is willing to be poked, you are to
run your hand through bis hair, the length and
breadth of his backbone. The texture and tenacity of
the hair should convey a meaning to the man whose
hand is engaged. Fold up the dog's ears. He may
have something the matter with them. If you fold
them tight enough you will most certainly find out if
there is anything wrong.

After this poke him in the stomach gently. If it be
hard, it indicates something.

After you have decided what his disease maybe,
there is specific Ueatment to be given. If his physic
is to be taken in the form of a pill, the man on the
soap box must take the dog between his knees. Give
him a hand to smell of for a moment, till he has be-
come calm and reassured. Then a towel is to be
passed in front of the dog in a manner to hold his
paws down. Then his jaws are to be pressed gently
open. If they won't press gently, then take a crow-
bar. After the jaws are opened the pill is to be
placed as nearly down into his stomach as a man's ca-
pacity to reach will admit. Then hold the dog's jaws
together for a long time. In time the dog will swal-
low, and. you will have successfully administered the
pill. This is the manner of procedure to be adopted
by the man. In the meantime the dog has been do-
ing things.

When a dog is aDaemic he must be given beef tea.
The formula for this follows: Buy a rump steak. Cut
it up in a round chopping bowl with a double-bladed
meat chopper. Remove from the rump steak every
particle of skin and fat, with sand-paper, if necessary.
Do not wash the rump steak before or after chopping.
Place the rump steak nicely in a clean saucepan, with
a pint of spring water. (Spring Valley may be used if
too far from undiluted water.) Place rump steak and
water over a slow fire. When the rump steak and wa-
tor shall have boiled, let it do so for ten minutes. Re-
move the rump steak from the fire aDd pour off the
liquor. Set the liquor to cool. When cooled, skim off
the fat, after this strain the liquor through a piece of
four cent unbleached cheesecloth. (At five cents per
yard it would not necessarily kill the dog.) Mix.
Quantity of dose according to size of dog.

For sick dogs it is well to mix ground rice with their
beef tea, and boil it up. It must not be made too
thick. If a dog is weak and cannot digest well, too
thick soup may thin the dog.

The man or woman who gives a dog a hot bath
should be hanged — and no mercy on his soul. A Fitz-
simmons of a dog would wilt under a warm bath.

Don't put soap or soda on a dog to make his hair
fluffy.

Wash a dog in eggs. For a Prince Charles, one egg
will do for three dogs. A Newfoundland should not
be washed when the hens aren't laying.

Brush a dog every morning and rub him off. Don't
try to train him to keep out of the mud. If you do
you will have to train him with a sandbag.

Don't ridicule a dog. He feels it as children feel a
reprimand before company, or when reminded that
father was never as freckled when he was a boy.

A little camphor rubbed into a dog's hair will keep
out the moths and things. When more heroic treat-
ment is desired, rub him with castor oil. The dose for
this use is measured by the pound. To one Newfound-
land dog take five pounds of castor oil. After this
treatment the dog may be warranted mo^h-proof.
Notning will stay on such a dog; and it doesn't matter
if anything does, because no person will stay near
enough to him to care. Also, after that, the dog
doesn't care.

Don't go to the family medicine chest when you
want to doctor the dog. A dog must be doctored' on
the principle that if you want to sweat him you must
pack him in ice. Nothing operates on a dog after a
manner that might be reasonably expected. A dog's
nerves are not to be toned by strychnine. You can't
monkey with aloes or rhubarb around a dog. Not
only a dog's teeth drop out if you administer calomel,
but pretty much everything else that belongs to him.
He salivates to the point of disintegration. When you
want your dog doctored, don't think that the main
thing in the case is to sit on a soapbox and diagnose
him and then to pry his jaws open. Send for some
one who knows how. A dog would surprise you after
the administering of some nostrums.

In the administering of medicines, one must deodor.
ize them if they have any peculiarity of smell. Valerian,

for instance. Cats like valerian, and maybe dogs do,
but in choosing a medicinal agent at random, in point
of odor valerian seems to be sufficiently significant.

A big dog is inclined to swallow half its head, in size
of mouthful. In the case of such a dog you may ex-
cavate a hole in his meat and put in a tablet or a cap-
sule and the business is done; but when the medicine
is in liquid form it is well to hold the dog's head at a
tilt of forty-five degrees and then insert a funnel-
shaped tube between the spaces of the teeth, after
pulling his cheeks away at one side, if the dog hap-
pens to be one who has cut his wisdom teeth and the
space is all filled up, you may knock out a tooth. Pour
the medicine through the tube and then close the
opening.

Under some circumstances ground glass and tin til-
ings are good for a dog. One who is giving this treat-
ment should grind the glass pretty fine and file the
tomato can almost out of sight. A dog won't take it
in chunks. When doctoring a dog itis well to remem-
ber that it is not a goat.

However, don't give your dog truffles and angel
cake and you won't have to give him plate glass and
the new tin coffee pot.

Don't "barrie''thedog. He deservesyourconsidera-
tion, because he is the only friend you have who will
ask you to forgive him for your weaknesses. — Dolores
Bacon in >)*>: V<"- York Times.

About Gun-Fitting.

The art of gun-fitting, as gunmakers technically term
it (though the shooter is fitted and not the gun), is
more studied to-day than ever before. The crack shot
or even the good shot, does not want fitting with a
gun. His gun fits him like a glove, or, if it does not,
he has adapted himself to its peculiarities by constant
practice, until these very peculiarities best suit him in
shooting his best. It is not for the crack shot, whose
measurements are all known, that gunmakers have to
study and practice fitting; it is for the young or inex-
perienced shooter ordering, it may be, his first gun,
and uncertain as to the bend, length, and cast-off that
can best enable him to become a good shot. It is here,
we believe, that a good gunmaker of long experience
can exercise his skill. It is here, indeed, that his
knowledge is absolutely required to decide what
peculiarities in the shooter must be met by corres-
ponding alterations in the stock of his gun, and what
by efforts on the part of the shooter himself to over-
come them. The inexperienced gun-fitter is sure to
rely entirely on his "try-gun" for the requisite adjust-
ments or alterations in measurements that may permit
the shooter with all his faults unremoved to get quick
alignment correctly. The fitter of small skill does not
attempt to distinguish between physical disability and
mere errors of style that could be easily removed from
the form of a young shooter. He takes his customer
as he finds him, and with his try-gun he arrives at
cast iron measurements that he thinks the try-gun has
shown to be those best Buited to the shooter. He
depends entirely, does this young fitter, upon his try-
gun, and in three cases out of four it misleads both
him and his customer entirely. A more experienced
fitter again can recognize that the modes of his cus-
tomer in aiming and firing want alteration quite as
much as the stock of the gun wants readjustment to
meet removable drawbacks in the shooter. We have
never therefore advocated or supported the blind
belief in an adherence to the use of the try-gun of the
unskilful fitter as if that tool were able by rule of
thumb to supply his want of experience and skill. The
try -gun we regard as a good servant in skilled hands,
but a bad master in unskilled ones.

flow Clams are Canned.

An industry peculiar to San Luis Obispo, California,
has recently been started, and has been tested far
enough to prove a success. It is a clam packing fac-
tory. The plant is at Pismo, and is running at full
blast with some gathering clams, some cleaning tins,
some cooking clams — all busy.

The clams are gathered from the sand on the beach
by men armed with a flat fork and a sack. The sand
is raked over at low tide, the clams placed in sacks, car-
ried above high-water mark and dumped on the beach.
This continues until the rising of the tide drives the
clam gatherers from the place where the bivalves are
found. Then the clams are hauled to the factory,
where they are handled in a unique way. First they
are placed io a vat and just enough fresh water poured
over them to wash off the sand. After the vat is full
and the sand washed off a close-fitting cover is placed
over the vat and the steam turned on for thirty-five
minutes. The clams are then opened and the juice
emptied out.

The juice is drawn off into white pine buckets from
a faucet at the bottom of the vat. The clams are then
allowed to cool, after which the meat is removed from
the shell and later minced by a machine made for the
purpose.

After mincing the meat is placed in tin cans of various
sizes, according to the orders on hand. The tins are
then soldered and placed in a cage and lowered into an
iron steam tank and the steam turned on.

After this steam cooking the tins are taken out and
the cooking process is finished. A small hole is
punched in the top of each tin to" allow the air, or any
gas that might be made by cooking, to escape, and the
hole is soldered up.

The cans are then placed away where they undergo
four weeks of testing, and if any of the tins bulge or
show any signs of spoiUng they are thrown away.

Each day for four weeks the tins are tested by being
struck with a small iron rod. The clam juice is cooked,
tested and handled in the same way for the same
length of time, and at the end of four weeks the
cans are labeled, packed together and shipped to their
destination.

To a Puget Sound Salmon.

[CARRIE SHAW RICE.]

Salmon of the sapphire sea,
Tell thy story now to me,
Flashing up the silvery streams
With thy dazzling glints and gleams:
Dancing where the water brawls,
Leaping baby waterfalls;
Marvelous thou art to me,
Salmon of the sapphire sea.

Prince in glittering coat of mail,
Salmon of the silvery scale,
Very much to know I wish
If you love the baby fish;
True, I know you point with pride
To your schools beneath the tide;
But the desks, I fear, are low.
Where the Hump-backed salmon go.

Gleaming like a thing of light,
Through the meshes of the night;
Hear me whisper through the sea —
Spear and seine are waiting thee,
Veil thy beauties then, and flee,
But thy story leave with me;
Salmon of the sapphire sea,
Let thy story stay with me.

Our Largest and Wildest Game Birds.

Now that the duck hunting season is over it is nou
absolutely necessary for the sportsman to put his gun
away in its case there to remain until the opening of
the next shooting season.

Besides snipe shooting there is one style of sport
■wherein our Coast shooters have an opportunity to
enjoy shooting second to no coterie of sportsmen in
the country.

Goose shooting is now in order and the birds are
here in countless thousand?, particularly in Colusa,
Solano and Yolo counties, in fact most anywhere in
the Sacramento valley and San Joaquin valley as well
will the sportsmen find geese in plentiful numbers.

The wild goose in California is still worthy of the
hunters' attention and is able to furnish a great day's
sport This grand bird has been given a proper dis-
tinction by the able pen of Thomas S. Van Dyke in
the following lines:

Foremost among those who merit eternal torment is
the man who invented the expression "tame as a
goose." If he is not consigned to the same limbo with
the man who said "you can lead a mule but can't drive
him, " it will be because old Pluto's atmosphere scorches
feathers so that he don't know what a game bird is.
The goose is the largest of all our game birds, all of
the species are wild as the most fastidious lover of
something that knows how to escape could desire, and
some of them, such as the black brant, are almost
equal to the wild turkey in the art of disappearance.

There are many geese still left in Southern California
in spite of its settlement, as you will quickly learn by
going along the coast of Orange county, or down into
Santa Margarita, to Elsinore lake, Warner's ranch,
and similar places. But the day is well past when
they will fly anywhere near a badly concealed tender-
foot, and even on the best flyways a pit in the ground
is about the only thing on which much reliance can
now be placed. Even then decoys are nearly as essen-
tial for good goose shooting on most grounds, while
the art of calling, if you understand it, will help out
the bag in wonderful shape. But unless you can imi-
tate very closely the melodious "honk" that rings so
far across the plain from the throat of the big Canada
goose you had better not try it.

Even twenty-five years ago, when there were millions
of geese here, it was extremely dangeroug unless you
could give that silvery ring quite well. And even then
you had to lie still instead of craning your neck to see
whether the game were coming, and could not be
shifting your gun into position, but had to rely on a
quick movement when the geese were within range.
Even then it was wonderful how quickly so large a
bird can sheer off out of reach of the best gun just at
the moment he seems within certain reach. And he
does it so gently and gracefully that you cannot
imagine how much he has increased the distance until
the gun rings vain thunder across the plain and the
flock of geese drifts away off on the side without even
a feather whiffling to earth. Often you can hear the
shot strike as if against the side of a barn. But it
produces about the same effect and you can strain
your eyes out watching for a goose to fall. And if at
long intervals one does weaken in its flight, and after
long laboring settles slowly to the earth, it is likely to
be at a distance you care not to cover, and if you go
there you may find that some coyote had bagged it
ahead of you.

At night it was much easier to hide where the geese
could not see you. But even then it was no sure thing,
and if you wished a certainty of seeing a long black;
neck and head with showy collar around the throat
painted against the moonlit sky as you glanced full of
hope along the iron rib of your gun, it was still advis-
able to remain well hidden and not to moye until the
game was so close that sheering off was impossible.

And there was still little difference in the size of the
goose. The little Hutchins goose, or "little honker,"
as he is called, because marked almost exactly the
same as the large Canada goose, is about as wild as

any of them and can shed shot from his little sides of
mottled gray in almost as charming a manner as a
wild-bred alligator. So too with the white fronted
goose or "brant, "as he is commonly called, and the
snow goose or ' 'white brant. ' ' All four of these abound-
ed here and all are about equally wary as well as tough.
The Hutchins goose and the white-fronted are the
best for the table, the Canada next and the snow goose
last. Yet they all are very good when on good leed
and fat. This they are quite apt to be after there is
plenty of grass; so that a good goose hunt means a
large bag of fine game as well as considerable sport in
the hunting of it.

In this hunting the novice is quite certain to find
surprise as well as sport. The goose seems a very slow
flyer because so large. But he is really moving at a
rapid pace when once well under way There is little
safety in aiming back of the bill and it is quite safe to
aim well ahead of it, as the neck and head are large
enough to make a mark of themselves and with fine
shot you are more apt to bag the goose in that way
than by riddling his solid sides with heavier shot. If
you must make long shots only heavy shot will do,
double B or anything between that and No. 1. But it
is very unreliable. I have shot plenty of buckshot
into flocks but never yet secured a bird by it. The
trouble is that there are too few pellets in a load with
too much space around the birds even in the densest
flock. For mid range shooting, say fifty yards, I have
found No. 3 shot the surest, though there is a difference
in guns which will make one shoot a size larger or
smaller better than the other. But where you are
getting birds within thirty or forty yards I have had
more certain results from No. 6 shot with the head
and neck taken as a special target. Inside of those
distances there is no question about the superiority of
the smaller shot. But in all cases you want a large
charge of powder with the shot load light, for deep
penetration, as you cannot depend upon the shot
touching the more tender parts of the head or neck.

Then you need an extra good gun, not necessarily as
large as we used to consider necessary, but a hard and
close shooting gun. Such are very common today at
very reasonable prices. We used to find them rare
and it seemed as if there were some special virtue in
the metal of particular guns that could not be dupli-
cated so as to make sure guns for such tough birds as
geese. This was all nonsense and it is now little
trouble to find the right kind of a gun provided you
know what you want.

What do you think of seeing a thousand flocks of
geese in one sweep of the eye? It seems like a big
story, yet many a man here has seen them. There
are points in Orange county where you could look
down on the plains of the San Joaquin ranch and
adjacent ground and see fully that many at once.
They stood by the hundred on every knoll, waddled
over every swale, dotted every patch of sunshine,
while their melodious notes rung over the miles of
rolling green that spread over hill and dale. The same
sight was common twenty odd years ago between Los
Angeles and Santa Monica and on the mesas around
San Pedro. And this, too, at a time of day when
every pond of any size far and nesr was dotted with
hundreds and even thousands of them, with thousands
more streaming across the sky to alight in the water
where they spent the middle of the day.

Flyways were then almost everywhere, while be-
tween such places as Elsinore lake and the Laguna at
San Jacinto, when it contained water, there was often
a steady stream at all times of day and night from one
place to the other.

Geese are still found much like this in many parts of
Central and Northern California, where they have to
hire men on horseback to keep them off the grain
fields, which thev almost destroy by their great num-
bers. We never had enough grain here to make
"goose cavalry" a necessity, but the birds were here
in numbers enough to damage any large field, it being
easy to keep them off of small fields such as we have.
One would suppose that when such large birds are
so plenty it would be a simple matter to hit at least one
with a rifle bullet fired into one of tbe great flocks.
Yet nothing is more surprising than a shot at a hun-
dred geese or more with dark necks and heads looking
like dense rows of tenpins through which it would be
impossible for a ball to pass without hitting something.
Yet the result of a shot fired without aiming at a par-
ticular bird is apt to be only a heavy roar of wings
and an uproarous medley of silvery honks. No bird
makes better sport for the rifle, yet it can be bagged
only by very fine shooting at one bird . No matter how
dense the flock may appear, the openings through it
will be so numerous that you may fire at dozens of
flocks without ever hitting a bird.

Twenty years ago geese were so plenty and other
game so abundant that I quickly tired of shooting
at geese with the shotgun and used only the rifle.
Perhaps you think it easy to hit so large a bird on
the wing with a single ball. Here again the best rifle
shot will be stunned with some new experience if he
has never practiced at birds on the wing. He can, of
course, hit some if he is a good shot. But the small-
ness of that compared with tbe whole range of possi-
bilities is quite astonishing. But that is what always
made it attractive for me, while the action of the birds
is always a charm.

Nor is it so very easy to hit a single goose even when
at rest. At the distance in which you are likely to
approach the game a large goose looks very small over
the sights of a rifle. And being dark gray he makes
no brilliant mark against even the brightest back-
ground of green. Still I used to pick up many a one
in both ways, but the best still shooting with the rifle
was always on the water. At the Laguna above tbe
ranch house of Santa Margarita there was a high bank
on one side with cover enough to keep fairly well con-
cealed and into this the geese of all kinds used to
stream about 10 or 11 o'clock from almost every quar-
ter of the sky. Over the green rolling hills that
bounded the horizon in the southwest they came from
the grassy mesa about San Luis Rey and from away
in the west, where Las Flores was alive with them.
From the higher hills that tumbled away in long,
grassy slopes from where Fallbrook lay, they came, as

well as from the long, low swells of land that fell aw ay
on the southwest into the quiet sea. As fast as one
flock would be driven out of the water by the ball
from my rifle another would be sliding down the dis-
tant air, with more coming in to take the places of
those that sneered away if they came within sound of
the rifle.

It would seem very easy to kill plenty in such a way.
But the distance was generally from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred yards and the largest goose is
hardly larger than the regulation bull's eye for that
distance. That part I could manage with globe sight
and a rest, provided I knew the distance within a few
feet. But that few feet made some trouble not wholly
overcome by placing sticks in the water about the
center where the geese alighted. But I could not use
globe sights because I could not shoot birds on the
wing with them, they being entirely too fine and slow
for cases where quickness is as essential as anything.
Nor was there any chance for sighting shots. The
instant a ball struck the water, no matter whether it
hit a goose or not, every bird in the pond effected a
speedy departure for some place miles away. And
though the laguna was quite large, even the report of
the rifle would start every goose just the same. One
could be hit only by a lucky combination of good judg-
ing of the distance and by good holding. But in the
whole line of rifle shooting I know of little any more
interesting or much more satisfactory when you get
the combination right.

On such lagunas as this used to be in the days of
Don Juan Forster, and before the tenderfoot with his
cheap gun and endless amount of ammunition invaded
the land and began firing at everything that made a
dot in the sky, it was worth spending a morning at
any time in winter to see the geese come in. The
duck, so prolific in graceful twists and turns when
spinning about in air trying to decide whether it is
safe to alight or not, comes in at last and settles into
the water in a very unceremonious manner.

But the goose puts on a vast amount of style about
it and so varies in manner that it is very interesting.
Why it should be so different from alighting on land
only the goose can tell. But when settling down to
feed or on the grass none of the geese differ in their
action to any great extent and all of them alight very
much as a duck would under the same conditions.
But when it is time to alight in the water along the
middle of the morning a different air comes over each
flock and every member of it seems to feel his im-
portance.

The Canada goose often comes in high up and winds
down in a long spiral much like that of the condor
when coming down out of the dome of blue to roost.
_ As they drift down every wing is set along the whole
line and they float downward as easily as so many
scraps of down, with every trumpet-note now silent,
and finally settle in the water with hardly a splash.
But sometimes a flock drifts down in the wedgelike
ranks in which it came in from the distant feeding
grounds, and sometimes this is strung out into a long
line coming in low along the ground for a long way.
And occasionally the line is turned sideways to its
direct flight and moves with the precision of an army.
The Hutchins goose also has the same manners and is
frequently seen mingled with the larger geese. But
however they are flying they at once adopt an air of
graceful solemnity which characterizes all their move-
ments until they alight in the water.

The snow goose is still more interesting They come
to the ponds in an irregular mass of various shapes
and long before reaching a pond where they intend to
alight and before reaching the edge of the pond every
bird turns itself a little more than half erect in the air
and then setting its wings forward sets to the water in
a rigid downward curve. This position is not again
changed until the birds reach the water. The whole
flock now throws itself into a column that flies forward
with a slope about on par with the inclination of the
body of the bird. A flock of several hundred geese
all white as snow, except the jet black that tips tbe
curbing wings, when seen massed in the air and set in
this course is a sight that cannot fail to impress the
dullest lump of clay that ever was tied for life to the
city curbstone.

The soft settling of the stars that sink from the
bursting rocket is not as easy and gentle as the way
these heavy birds now move forward and downward
with every wing motionless. They do not sail like the
condor, but float like thistle down on the summer air
and down through a thousand feet or more of it they
can go, moving forward as far and with a slow and
solemn dignity that seems impossible. If any of the
Hutchins geese are mingled with such a flock it is
amusing to watch their demoralization. Although
built about the same, they seem incapable of imitating
the descent of theothers and driftoff to go down alone
in their own peculiar way.

This little goose is even more puzzled when he hap-
pens among a flock of the white-fronted geese or
"brant." Their manner of descent is wholly their
own, and in the whole range of natural history there
is nothing more remarkable than the antics they can
cut. High in the air they come in orderly array until
nearly over the point in which they expect to touch
water, when all of a sudden the whole is turned into a
go-as you-please race for below. Every bird strikes
out on its own hook, tumbling, darting, whirling
somersault and everything imaginable. Some are
tumbling head down, others stern down, others whirl-
ing over like balls, some darting in long curves, away
on the sides, no two alike, but all in swift career. All
motion of wing is abandoned, the sole reliance is on
gravity, and, amon<r hundreds of birds, not a wing will
be so set as to mako any resistance to the air except
among those that go outward on curves. And even
with those resistance is very slight. Down sometimes
a thousand feet and over the whole flock thus goes,
with almost every throat ringing forth their clamorous
cackle, until within a few feet of the water when, all
at once, every bird catches his wings, stops his clang*
ing pipe, lines up in order and the whole band floats
along a few yards in perfect silence and orderly array,
and then settles into the water as softly as so many
snowflakes.

| THE FARM. H

Protein for the Dairy Cow.

On this Biibject Professor Otis of the
Kansas Agricultural Society says:

Profits in dairying depend very largely
upon the ability of the farm and the
farmer to produce what is needed by the
cows right on the farm This does not
mean quantity alone, but quality as well.
Any practical farmer knows that there is
a great difference in the feeding value of
our different crops. It has been found by
repeated trials at the experiment station
and by practical feeders of both dairy and
beef animals, that this difference in our
feeds is largely, if not wholly, due the
differing content of the i. roup of chemical
elements known as protein. The experi-
ence of both practical dairymen and sci-
entific experts show that the average dairy
cow. in order to show her best, needs all
the way from two to three pounds of
digestible protein per day. A cow feed on
corn and corn stover will have just about
half the protein she needs, and, as a result,
will give some milk, but cannot do her
best: and no matter how much corn and
stover we may give her, she has nowhere
near the capacity to handle enough to
furnish the protein she needs, to say
nothing of the wear and tear on her sys-
tem in handling so much extra and un-
usable material not protein.

TVe muat bear in mind that protein is
an absolutely essential ingredient of milk, I
and must appear in the raw material if
there is to be a finished product. Sup-
pose a farmer brings home a wagon load
of lumber and five pounds of xen-penny
nails and instructs his hired man to take '
a saw, cut up the lumber into small pieces, !
and nail the pieces together into boxes. :
The man would go to work and make boxes
as long as the supply of nails held out,
but after the nailB were used up he could
not make any more boxes, no matter how [
much lumber he had. So it is wiih the
cow; she will manufacture milk as long
as her supply of protein holds out, but
after that is exhausted she cannot make
any more milk, no matter how much of
the other ingredients she may have. So'
the problem that confronts dairymen is
not how to procure the maximum produc- '
tion of any one crop, but the maximum '
production of a variety of crops which, !
when combined, will furnish the nutrients
needed by bis cows, without much sur- ]
plus of any one crop."

Stopping Abortion in a Herd.

Some twenty-five years ago I had con-
siderable experience in Lincolnshire. Eng-
I land, with contagious abortion among
I pure bred Shorthorns in that and neigh-
boring counties. In addition to local dis-
infection we always used internal antisep-
tics, principally pure creosote. After-
wards when pure crystalized carbolic
acid was put on the market by a large
manufacturing concern we tried it with
good success. Later on we returned to
the use of pure creosote mainly owing to
the fact that we found less of it was
needed and that it did not canse the same
bad effects on the kidneys which the con-
tinued use of carbolic acid is likely in some
cases to produce.

During my term as state veterinarian
of Colorado from 1893 to 1S99, I frequent-
ly advised the use of internal antiseptics
with considerable success where treat-
ment was practicable, always of course
with external disinfection, with a weak
solution of bichloride of mercury. Acting
on my advice printed in the veterinary
> id Farm Eugene Grubb, of Garfield
county completely and quickly eradicated
contagious abortion in his purebred Short-
horn herd by this means. I do not write
at this time, however, for the purpose of
showing that the antiseptic treatment of
contagious abortion is new, but to repub-
lish some practical pointers on the meth-
od of administering carbolic acid or cre-
osote in such cases.

These agents are only partially soluble
in water and unless exceedingly well
mixed with the feed will blister the mouth
or ether portions of the digestive tract.
In such cases harm may result and there
is always a decided aversion on the part
o' the animal to cont nne the treatment.
As both these agents are readily soluble
in glycerine and wten so dissolved easily
mix with water or damp feed, they cause
no local irritation and in addition become
much more palatable to the animal.
Hence I have found that carbolic acid or
creosote given internally should always
be first dissolved in twice the bulk of
glycerine and the mixture should be well
shaken before the addition of water or
feed and in all cases both agents should
be used absolutely pure. One dram of
creosote is equal in potency, as an inter-
nal antiseptic, to four drams or one-half
ounce of carbolic acid. The external dis_
infectant, with a weak solution of bichlo-
ride of mercury, is equally as important
as the internal treatment

Take Better Care of Calves.

It is extremely doubtful if we can im-
prove on the best specimens of beef cattle
existing to-day, says the Live Stock J
"World. They have almost reached the ■
point of superlative excellence, both as to
build and economy in feed consnming. '
But unfortunately the cattle of indifferent ■
quality, and those ranking as poor and :
scrubs are in the great majority, and it is
to the task of bringing the grades to a
higher plane than we must devote our- j
selves.

Stinting calves of food after weaning
time is one cause of deterioration. The
young animal loses its mother's milk at !
a time when it is most needed, and left
to shift for itself on scanty pasture, fails
to make the growth needed to make it
profitable. A continuous supply of food
is imperative. The only way to secure
bet er grade cattle is a distribution of
pure-bred sires, and as the average farmer
is reluctant to pay fancy prices, breeders
must come to his terms if they are to
claim him as a customer.

Jersey cattle are now registered up to
the number of 219,000 in the Herd Regis-
ter of the American Jersey Cattle Club.

Strike! — if they don't give you Jack-
son's Nana Soda.'

Lou's Piaelzer, Chicago, is quoted as
saying that out of every 4000 or 5000 head
of cattle he buys he does not get ten car-
loads of really ripe, choice beef no matter
what price he may pay or offer. The cat-
tle, he says, are being sent to market about
as fast as the feeders dare risk them and
when they are dressed they show the
results of the skimping policy that has
been pn sued in feeding them. Mr. Pfael-
zer further remarks that it costs the big
packerB eleven cents a pound to lay good
beef down in New York and that there
they are wholesaling it at 9 to 9>£ cents
per pound , which he remarks shows what
sort of a game the packers are up against.
When asked what he thought of the pros-
pects for prices thecomiug season he said:
"Good, ripe, fat finished cattle are bound
to se 11 very high and all hands, butchers.
slaughterers, buyers, wholesalers and re-
tailers might just as well makeup their
minds to face the music now as at any
other time."

STAM B. is a fine and substanaial upstanding bay, 15.3 hands tall, weighs 1100 pounds, and now
rightly ranks among the most promising young sires of the land. That he is now in public service in
California is a fact for which breeders may be grateful. He is already proving a sire of speed and
gameness, together with size, superb style and high action, transmitting these qualities to every foal
regardlessof dam. He is acknowledged by all who have seen him to be very near the real and ideal
race horse and all-around sire. His racing qualities were beyond criticism, and all close observers
know that in his blood are represented the kings and queens of the trotting turf and show rings.

Editor. With a steel portrait

1 The author was one of the most
noted horsemen of this country, and
in the work before us has given
to the public the best thoughts,
founded on years of experience in the feeding, handling, breaking
and training of colts with a view to securing their best perform-
ances. Besides treating of driving horses, it gives a condensed
history of the best horses in this country, with a mention of their
best performances. It is invaluable in its suggestions to horse
trainers, and its rules laid down and suggestions given are as good
as the day they were written."

" The book contains a familiar description of the American
stable, the most approved method of feeding, grooming and general
management of horses, together with directions for the care of
carriages, harness, etc. The whole is founded on the careful study
and experience of many years of the author's life, and forms a val-
uable manual for any one who has charge of the noblest of man's
irrational servants. Its low price and great value should give it
general circulation among horsemen."— Indiana Farmer.

132,000 Deaths from
this alone.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright's Disease.
Posted clubmen understand this so well
that many have tests made every few
months Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and D'aberes are increas-
ing at a fearful rate. The last census re-
ports show that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132.000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing this one fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curable in about 87% of all case^. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

Walter Winans

Vice President of the National
Rifle Association of Great Britain

makes the following statement in his recent book,
"Art of Revolver Shooting."

The U. M. C. Co., 0". S. A., have supplied me with large quantities of .44
gallery ammunition loaded with both round and semi-round bullets.

These have a small charge of black powder, and I should prefer this
ammunition for self-defense as well as for competition up to 20 yards, as I
find it the most accurate for exhibition shooting.

I think the U. M. C. gives slightly less recoil and fewer " unaccount-
ables" than the English equivalent.

They also load these cartridges with smokeless powder, which I have used and
with which I have made my bests on record in the rapid fire competition.

Send for new TJ. M. C. illustrated catalogues for further information concerning these modern

Short Range or Gallery Cartridges, which are coming into wide use among

experts and others. Game Laws and Shooting Records Free

NO BOOKS WILL, BE MADE at the California
State Pair this year on harness races. This was
decided upon by the Board of Directors at its meeting
last Saturday and the thanks of every harness horse
owner and lover of clean harness racing is due the
Directors individually and collectively. They have
done more by lihis one act to re-establish confldence in
the sport than any other one thing they could possibly
have done, and we hope the owners and trainers who
have been praying for this change will now rally to
the support of the State association and give it a list
of entries for its harness purses that will exceed any
list heretofore received and be evidence of the fact
that the banishment of the books is appreciated. The
State Agricultural Society having taken the lead it is
the duty of every district association to follow its ex-
ample. We hope the district boards will go further
and decide to have no bookmaking on any of the speed
contests, the only system permitted being auction
pools and mutuals. It is becoming more evident every
year that the taxpayers and others who patronize the
fairs go there for some other purpose than gambling.
It would be well if the authorities of the towns where
fairs and race meetings are held would permit no
gambling games other than those permitted by law
to operate during the fair. For years the greatest
objection made to the fairs by the farmers and the
business men of the communities wherein they are
held has been the fact that a horde of touts and tin
horn gamblers follow the circuit and make themselves
too conspicuous. If the fair managers will cater to the
best people, strive to secure exhibits that will be inter"
eating and instructive and ask the aid of the authoritie3
in suppressing the swindling gambling games and the
pestiferous touts, district fairs will soon regain their
popularity with the public. The advent of bookmak-
ing about six or seven years ago in California brought
in its wake a lot of people who have brought racing
into disrepute. Touts are without an occupation
where bookmaking is not permitted, so that the fair
managers have within their power a very easy and
effective method of elevating the standard of their
annual exhibitions and getting rid of the touts by mak-
ing auctions and mutuals the only methods of specula-
tion on the speed contests. The State Agricultural
Society deserves the thanks of all good citizens for its
action in abolishing bookmaking on harness races.
Let every district association resolve to do as well.

TTHE SPECIAL HARNESS STALLION STAKE
' offered by the California State Agricultural
Society will close (or the nomination of stallions to-day.
The cost to name a stallion in the stake bo that his
get foaled this year may be eligible, is the amount of
his service fee last year providing he stood for public
service. Otherwise it is $20. When the entries are
all in we hope to be able to chronicle the fact that a
large majority of the standard bred stallions on this
Coast havo been named. If the stallion owners make
nominations as they should the stake will be the
largest ever contested for by three-year-olds this side
of the Mississppi river. Every stallion that is worth
advertising or worth printing a card for is worth
entering in this stake, and it is due the owners of
mares who paid money for service fees last year that
the colts obtained from such services should be made
eligible to this great stake. This is the last oppor-
tunity the Breeder and Sportsman will have to
call the attention of stallion owners to the fact that
this stake will close to-day, and we hope none will
forget it or fail to nominate their horses. It will help
the business in every way and lead to more extensive
breeding every year.

INGLESIDE TRACK, the most beautiful and best
' appointed racing plant on the Pacific Coast, must
remain closed. The San Francisco Supervisors last
Monday, by a vote of 12 to 6, defeated the ordinance
introduced for the purpose of permitting the track to
be again opened for racing. While a large number of
representative business men appealed to the Board to
permit betting on races within a race track inclosure,
there was a larger opposing representation from other
business houses and from the churches, and even the
Chamber of Commerce sent in a request that t^e ordi-
nance be defeated. A sentiment has been worked up
in this community against racing which it will he very
difficult to change for some time to come. It came
through the race track war which began in 1895, and
which led to the same result that all race track wars
reach. Owing to this state of affairs a property that
cost nearly a million dollars to complete is a bill of
expense instead of a source of revenue to its owners.
It is to be hoped that before long the city's legislative
body will consider the racing question with the atten-
tion and in the broad minded manner due it, and oass
an ordinance that will permit the property to be used
during a reasonable period each year.

DEFINITE SHAPE is being assumed by the Cali-
fornia circuit of fairs and race meetings for 1902
and there is every prospect that it will be far ahead of
anything attempted in years. Thedistrict associations
that have already claimed date's for their annual fairs
are the Napa Agricultural Society, August 11th to
16th; Golden Gate Agricultural Association, Oakland,
August Kith to 23d; District No. 40, Woodland, August
25th to 30th; State Fair, September 1st to 13th, and
District No. 15, Bakersfield, which claims the week
prior to Los Angeles, which will probably be in Octo-
ber. Santa Rosa, Vallejo, Stockton and the Breeders
Association have not yet claimed dates, neither have
many of the smaller districts, but they will all he in
line before many weeks. As it is six associations that
will give good purses are already in the field, have
selected dates and will soon advertise early closing
stakes. The rains of the past week have caused a
feeling of confidence in the farming and fruit growing
districts and everything points to a year of prosperity
in California, in which all those interested in harness
horse affairs should have a share.

THE BURNS HANDICAP, the richest stake run
for in California, is down for decision to-day at
Oakland and will attract a large attendance to the
track no matter what the weather may be. The out-
look at this writing is for a sloppy track, which will
be much more satisfactory and bring out a larger field
than would have been the case had the weather cleared
and the track become sticky and heavy. The allot-
ment of weights by Mr. Brooks has called forth praise
from all sides, and there has not been a single harsh
criticism from any of those making original entries in
the big event. Nones will probably be the favorite in
all the books, with the Smith stable, comprising Articu-
late and Greyfield next in favor.

NO RACING AT TANFORAN will be held by the
New California Jockey Club this season. An an-
nouncement was made by the club management early
in the present week that' racing would be transferred
to the Tanforan track about February 22d, but it met
with such a storm of objections on the part of horse
owners that the decision was reconsidered and it is
now announced that the racing season will finish where
it began, at Oakland. While the Tanforan track is an
ideal one, the transportation facilities are at present
insufficient to satisfy horse owners and race-goers.

IF THE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY can
' see its way clear to opening two good sized stakes,
one for slow class trotters, the other for slow clasB
pacers, it would do much to make harness racing in
California more interesting this year. There should
be at least two thousand dollars guarantee for each
event, and nominations should close not later than the
middle of March. By making the first payment a
small one it is certain that a big entry list could be
obtained, as horse owners could not fail to see that the
winner of one such stake would get more money than
the winner of several average purses. Three payments
of $20, $30 and $50 respectively would he about right,
and make up the five per cent entrance. Horses
need not be named until the first of August. Such
stakes as these would not cost the society a very
large amount as the entrance would make up the
most of the stake. The principal district associations
should aim to have one or two stakes of $1000 or
over. One big attraction serves to draw many
people that would not otherwise attend, as witness
the M. and M. and other leading events over east
each year.

CNTRIES for the stakes of the Westchester Racing
*— ' Association and the Washington Jockey Club
close to-day. Full particulars of these stakes will be
found in our issue of last week and the week previous.

Another Week of Harness Racing.

Oakland has claimed its dates and the California
Circuit begins to look pretty well on paper. As it now
stands Napa will open the campaign August 11th for a
week of racing ending on the 16th. The Golden Gate
District Agricultural Association of Oakland claims
the dates August 16th to 23d, Woodland will have the
following week ending the 30th, the State Pair will fol-
low with a program extending through the first two
weeks in September, and of course Stockton will follow
the State Fair. Los Angeles has not get claimed a
date, but will soon do so, and the Kern County District
Association has already claimed the week prior to
whatever date Los Angeles may select. San Jose has
claimed July 3d, 4th and 5th for an early meeting, and
the people of Eureka, Humboldt county, have made
the P. C. T. H. B. A. an offer to hold a meeting over
this track on the same dates. Pleasanton desires to
give a meeting, and the Contra Costa County Fair will
be held at Concord as usual with a better program and
larger purses than ever. Red Bluff has already decided
to hold a fair and race meeting and will probably unite
with Yreka and Redding in a circuit, in which Colusa,
Marysville and Chico may also have dates. Salinas
will give a fair and so will Hollister, and there will be
fairs and race meetings at Ukiah, Hanford and other
points. By the 1st of March associations will begin
advertising their early closing stakes and we learn
there will be a number of extra good ones this year.
The harness horses will have a chance to earn some
money this year in California.

Overland Racing Association.

A letter from W. H. Schuckman, secretary, gives
the information that an association called the Overland
Racing Association has been formed in Colorado, em-
bracing the tracks at Trinidad, Pueblo, Colorado
Springs and Denver, and that a circuit has been
arranged for this year. Trinidad has a good half mile
track and work is being done on it now to put it in
first class shape; Pueblo has a new half mile track, one
of the finest in the United States; Colorado Springs'
track is being resoiled and greatly benefitted, and the
track at Overland Park is having a new coating of soil
placed on it and various other improvements made.
The Denver people confidently expect to hold the
greatest meeting this year ever held there and the
chances are very bright for their doing so. The list
of purses for trotters and pacers is already out, and
and we notice that $1000 is offered for 2:20 and 2:12
class pacers, and the same amounts for 2:25 and 2:17
trotters. Besides there are over twenty purses of $500
each for trotters and pacers of other classes. Nomin-
ations to the early closing purses will close March 15th
and the regular purses May 15th. The Denver meet-
ing will open June 21st and close July 5th.

George W. Leavitt is enthusiastic over the speed
which Achille, the son of Bingen, which he sold to
Lemuel Hitchcock, proprietor of Marlboro Stock
Farm, last fall, has been showing on the road this
winter. Achille is a four year old out of Starlight
2:15}, daughter of Electioneer and Sally Benton 2:17},
which in 1884 lowered the four year old trotting record
to 2:17}. Sally Benton is out of Sontag Mohawk, dam
of eight in 2:30, and is second only to Beautiful Bells
among the noted band of broodmares which made
Palo Alto Farm famous.

Suggestions About Harness Racing.

Abbotsford Inn— Los Angeles, Feb. 8, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— As the winter
months are almost over and every owner and trainer
of a harness horse is beginning to wonder what will
his harvest be the coming season, and there is a lot of
talk and comment as to what is the best manner to
conduct race meetings and county fairs, so as to satisfy
both the horseman and the public. Now to look at the
horsman side of it, it costs a lot of money to raise,
feed, train and equip a race horse; it costs money to
pay railroad fares, entrance money, hotel bills, shoeing,
labor and the many other incidentals. The thing a
horseman wants to race for is good purses, to be paid
his earniugs after each race, and to receive fair and
courteous treatment from the officials of the race track.

When he has shipped his horses into a city on the
supposition that he is going to race in certain classes
he should be prov ded with just what the printed con-
ditions on the entry bJank calls for, and his mode of
doing business will be just as good and just as profit-
able as any other class of amusement before the public
in California.

Now, in order for associations to pay purses, treat
horsemen fairly, and for associations to be prosperous,
the association must have the confidence of the public,
and its looks very plain to the writer that the public
confidence can be secured. Large attendance will be
assured and sufficient money taken in at each meeting
to pay purses and expenses, and leave a balance for
the association. Give good purses and be prepared to
pay them; let all pool selling and gambling be done
outside of the track.

Do not permit the bar in the centre of everything;
do not allow the rabble and the tout to predominate.
Have the merchant and the farmer, the churchman,
the rich man and the public in general understand that
the meeting is not held for the benefit of the pool seller
and the saloon man. Let the public understand that
the meeting is not a gambling show. Every man may
bring his family, and his wife and children will not be
compelled to sit and see or hear the degrading talk
usual in a beer and whisky drinking crowd. Induce
the churchman as well as the non-churchman to attend.
If anyone thinks it cannot be done, refer to the meeting
held at Hamline, Minnesota, last fall.

There are other attractions to please the public
which can be had tc go with racing and the California
public will enjoy them. If any desire pools, let them
be sold away from the track. Have good square men
officiate.

The writer is neither a temperance man nor a
preacher, in fact is engaged in the sale of liquor, and
has been for twenty years, yet he believes racing will
prosper without pool selling or a bar, unless the latter
be in a remote spot on the grounds.

The coming year will be the most prosperous one
California has ever bad and every merchant, hotel
man, farmer and lover of good horses and the beBt
sport on earth should give the county fair their early
attention. Yours truly,

C. A. Harrison.

How Much Hay to Feed.

It is a general among farmers to feed too much hay
to their horses during all seasons of the year, and,
particularly, during the winter, when the horses are
not busy. Too much hay means an abnormal develop-
ment of the stomach capacity. This is commonly re-
ferred to by farmers as "pot-bellied," and is produced
by the animals consuming large quantities of hay, so
that the whole abdomen is unnaturally expanded,
giving the horse a very ungainly appearance. It is
neither conducive to good looks or the general health
of the animal. Some horses seem to know when they
have eaten enough, and will stop; but the average
horse eats, seemingly, for the sake of eating until he
has gorged himself to ungainly proportions. No
animal needs hay in any such quantities. Gradually
work the heavy feeding down to a point on which the
animal can supply its existent wants and sufficient for
what work it- has to do. There is no fixed rule more
than that a horse should be supplied with about two
pounds of provender each day for every 100 pounds of
weight. If a small amount of grain is given in con-
nection with good, first-class hay, this will be quite suf-
ficient— better for the animal and far more economical
for the owner.

No Books on Harness Races at State Fair.

[Record-Union, Feby. 9.]

Oakwood Park Stallions.

We find the following item in the Santa Cruz Surf
of last Monday: " 'Sandy' Smith was up from Aptos
Saturday evening and chaperoned a party of his Santa
Cruz lady admirers to the Arion masquerade. Mr.
Smith, who is well known in turf circles, is in charge
of a string of thoroughbred trotters at the Spreckels
ranch." We cannot stand for the term "thoroughbred
trotters," as trotters are not thoroughbreds. The Surf
scribe probably got his item a little mixed and meant
to apply the adjective to the ladies.

At a meeting of the State Board of Agricultural
Directors yesterday afternoon Adolph B. Spreckels
was unanimously re-elected President of the Board.
Director Fred Cox placed Mr. Spreckels in nomina-
tion, and in seconding the nomination both Grove L.
Johnson and A. W. Barrett alluded to the candidate's
special adaptation to the position, as evinced by qualifi-
cations displayed in the past.

Director Fred Cox was nominated for Vice President
by A. W. Barrett, and Frank W. Covey and Benjamin
Bush seconded the nomination in neat speeches. Mr.
Cox was alsu elected unanimously. Director Grove L..
Johnson was selected as Superintendent of the
Pavillion, and John Mackey was elected Superinten-
dent of the Park.

The following members were present; A. B. Sprec-
kels, A. W. Barrett, Grove L. Johnson, John Mackey,
Benjamin Bush, Frank W. Covey, C. W. Paine,
Fred Cox.

The committee appointed to inquire into the subject
of the title of the Park property reported that the
society is the owner of the Park, with certain limita-
tions.

Director Johnson said that ihe title of the property
is worth more than the $45,000 which the State pro-
posed to pay for it, as a bona fide offer had been re-
ceived of $52,000, and the purchaser at that price
would undoubtedly double his money on it by parcel-
ing in out in building lots. If the Park could be sold
for $60,000 it would place the society out of debt.

Director Cox said that as the city is growing in that
direction the value of the property is insured. He is
not in favor of disposing of the property without an
adequate return is received.

The subject of betting was taken up, and it was
ordered that there should be no more bookmaking on
harness events, but that mutuals would be sold on
heats, and auctions and mutuals on the result of the
races.

Two Good Stallions at Mayfield.

The well known horseman, C. C. Crippen, has placed
in the stud at Mayfield, Santa Clara county, two stal-
lions that are worthy of patronage by the farmers of
that locality who desire to breed good roadsters or
horses with speed enough for the trade. The horses
are Prince Ansel, two year old record 2:203, and Alex-
ander Malone. Prince Ansel is by Dexter Prince, sire
of Eleata 2:0S| (the greatest money winner on the
Grand Circuit last year), James L. 2:09 and 52 more in
2:30, and his dam is Woodflower, great broodmare by
Ansel 2:20, son of Electioneer. Prince Ansel's record
was made in the second heat of a winning race when a
two year old, having trotted the first heat in 2:22}.
It is doubtful if a faster young colt was ever bred at
Palo Alto, and had he not been retired on account of
an injured ankle 2:10 should not have stopped him.
He has a wonderful amount of natural speed and is
such a splendid type of the trotting horse that he will
please the most critical. His first crop of colts are
now yearlings and they stamp him as a coming sire.

Alexander Malone is a young horse with great style.
He has good bone and substance and excellent trotting
action, and though never worked for speed can show a
2:30 clip. Alexander Malone is the best bred son of
Alexander Button, sire of Yolo Maid 2:12, Tom Ryder
2:13}, Margaret Worth 2:15, and many other fast ones.
The dam of Alexander Malone is Carrie Malone, a full
sister to Klatawah 2:05}, Chas. Derby 2:20 (sire of
Much Better 2:07}, Derby Princess 2:08}, Diablo 2:09}
and others), being by Stein way out of Katie G. by
Electioneer. A full sister to Alexander Malone has
worked a mile in 2:13.

The service fee of Prince Ansel has been placed at
S40 and of Alexander Malone at $25. Send to Mr.
Crippen for cards containing extended pedigrees.

Three of the stallions at the celebrated Oakwood
Park Stock Farm, Danville, Contra Costa county, will
stand for public service this year, viz: Chas. Derby
2:20 and Owyhee 2:11, at $50 each, and the young and
untried, but royally bred Arner 31,300, a full brother
to Diabio 2:09}, at $25.

Chas. Derby 2:20 is considered by the best posted
horsemen in California to be one of the greatest stal-
lions ever bred on the Pacific Coast. He has sired
three in the 2:10 list already and better race horses
than those three big money winners, Derby Princess
2:085, Diablo 2:09} and Owyhee 2:11 are seldom sired
by one horse.

The 2:10 performers in close relationship to Chas.
Derby make a remarkable showing, and will surprise
those who have never given the subject much thought.
His sire, Stein way, gained the world's record for three
year olds when he trotted a mile in a race at Lexing-
ton, August 28, 1879, in 2:25^, lowering the great
Elaine's mark by two and a quarter seconds. The
fastest three year old pacing gelding at the present
time is Agitato 2:09} by Steinway, and Klatawah, his
son, holds the world's record of 2:05} for three year
old pacing colts.

The 2:10 performers descended from Steinway are
quite numerous, as the following will show:

SIRED BY STEINWAY'.

Klatawah 2:05}, W. Wood 2:0", Agitato 2:09,
Cricket 2:10.

SIRED BY SONS.

Chas. Derby 2:20— Much Better 2:07$, Derby Prin-
cess 2:08}, Diablo 2:091.

Strathway 2:19— Toggles 2:08}.

sired by grandson.

Diablo 2:09!— Clipper 2:06, Sir Albert S. 2:08|.
SIRED BY' SON OF DAUGHTER.

Wm. Harold 2:131— Janice 2:08}.

Steinway 's full sister, Soprano, is the only mare that
shares with Beautiful Bells the honor of producing ten
standard performers Among them is C. F. Clay 2:18,
that is the sire of Connor 2:03}, Coleridge 2:05} and
Choral 2:06}. Soprano's daughter, Nannie Etticoat,
is the dam of Split Silk 2:08} and Red Silk 2:10.

Chas. Derby's sire being such a progenitor of 2:10
speed, let us lcok at his dam's side of the house. She
is the great broodmare Katie G., dam of five in 2:30,
one of them Klatawah 2:05J, the champion three year
old of the world, and she is by the mighty Electioneer,
whose 2:10 trotting descendants exceed in number
those of any other horse in the first three generations.
Back of this Electioneer blood is some of the best long
distance thoroughbred blood in the world. Chas.
Derby not only inherits extreme speed and gameness,
but he transmits both qualities.

Owyhee 2:11 was one of the best money winners of
the Grand Circuit of 1899, since which time he has
been in the stud. He is a young horse yet, having
been foaled in 1894. He is by Chas. Derby out of a
great broodmare by Simmons, second dam by the
great Mambrino Patehen 58 and third dam thorough-
bred. Owyhee is one of the grandest individuals ever
bred at Oakwood Park, and his colts now coming on
are very much like him in appearance. There are a
number of his three year olds that will take records as
soon as they are raced, and some in training now at
the farm show great speed.

Arner, the brother to Diablo 2:09} is a very hand-
some brown colt that is just four years old this month
He i» one of the best of the many good ones that haT3
been produced by the great mare Bertha by Alcantara.
At $25 the season he should be extensively patronized.

At the Oakwood Park Farm Superintendent Fred
Booth is now directing the training of about twenty
head and these and many more of as fine lookers as
can be found in California are for sale. More fast
horses have been sold from Oakwood Park Stock Farm,
considering the number bred, than the majority of the
large breeding farms of America

There was a great sensation on the Toledo speedway
Monday afternoon, when Geo Ketcham came out en-
tirely unannounced with Cresceus, with his racing
harness and felt boots and drove him four times
through at speed. The sidewalk brigade went wild
with enthusiasm and all the other drivers pulled up
to witness the remarkable demonstration.

Boodle Jr. at WatsonvUle.

Among the young stallions that will be in the stud
in California this year is Boodle Jr. He will belocated
at WatsonvUle in charge of Mr. F. M. Hammett.
Boodle Jr. was bred by Hon. Jesse D. Carr of Salinas
and is one of the best proportioned young stallions in
California with size, style and action. He is by that
good race horse and sire Boodle 2:12}, sire of Ethel
Downs 2:10 and several others in the list. The dam of
Boodle Jr. is Nina B. by Electioneer, sire of Arion
2:075, Sunol 2:08}, Palo Alto 2:08| and 163 more in the
list. His second dam is Gabilan Maid by Carr's Mam-
brino, third dam Ida May Jr. by Owen Dale. No more
promising young horse stands for service in California
this year than Boodle Jr. During the past two years
he has been bred to a number of Mr. Carr's best mares
and the colts are well entered in the colt stakes.

Attorney General Knox, who has been notified by
the Humane Society of Washington to lower the
check of his horse, has decided to defy the society.
He will continue to check his trotters just as high as
they have been and challenges the society to bring the
matter into court. Mr. Knox asserts that his horses
are not checked too high. They are highly bred
animals, he says, and naturally hold their heads in
the air. Now it is the society's move.

last season, is being wintered by Barry Bros, at Boston,
and will he campaigned again next season, when he is
expected to enter the 2:10 list.

William G. Layng, the well known auctioneer, went
to Sacramento last Saturday and leased the block on
the corner of 20th and F streets, just opposite Agricul-
tural Park, which he will hold the big sale of brood-
mares, stallions and geldiDgs from the Palo Alto and
Vina farms, which will be held during the State Fair
in September.

George H. Ketcham, owner of Cresceus 2:02!, ^as
received a letter from W. Cairns, a brewer in Bendigo,
Australia, asking him to give his best price on one of
Cresceus's colts and inquiring how soon it could be
shipped. He writes there is groat interest in Cresceus
in that country and he desires to own the first Cresceus
colt that arrives there.

The good pacer Toppy 2:114, son of Delphi 2:12}, is
runniDg out at present, but will be taken up shortly
by his owner, Chas. Whitehead, who is at present
located at Lodi and put in training for the races.
Toppy was one of the best pacers out last seasOD, win-
ning very close to $2000 on the California circuit, get-
ting first money in six races.

The Directors of the Tehama Agricultural Associa-
tion have decided to hold a district fair at Red Bluff
about the end of September or 1st of October. If
possible, a racing circuit will be arranged with the
associations at Redding and Yreka. The officers of
the Tehama association are D S. Cone, President;
John N. Gregg, Vice President, and M. R. Hoo£,
Secretary.

Mr. J. Brolliar of Visalia, who has been in this city
for a few days, says the handsomest and best looking
son of Direct 2:054 he ever saw is owned by R. O.
Newman of Visalia. The colt is a yearling of good
size, black as night. His dam is by Robert Basler, son
of Antevolo, second dam Pasha 2039, third dam by A.
W. Richmond. Mr. Brolliar says he made an offer of
$1000 for the colt but Mr. Newman declined it.

Bonnie Direct 2:05J is getting some royally bred
mares this year. He should be one of the greatest
sires in the Director family as there is no better bred
one, being by Direct 2:054 out of Bon Bon, the dam
also of Bonsilene 2:141 by Simmons, grandam by Geo.
Wilkes. Look at the summary of three of Bonnie
Direct's races printed in his advertisement in this
paper. It is a record of extreme speed and wonderful
gameness.

A match race came off last Thursday at the Los
Angeles track between Mr. Fred B. Taylor's mare
Primrose 2:13 by Falrose and Mr. E. T. Earl's mare
Sweetheart by Butler's Bashaw. Both these mares
were purchased by their present owners at the dis-
persal sale of Milo M. Potter's horses last December,
and ever since there has been considerable discussion
between the owners as to which owns the faster ani-
mal. The race was mile heats, best two in three, and
was won easily by Primrose in straight heats. The
time of the first heat was 2:15 and of the second 2:17}.
About three hundred persons witnessed the race.

Last Monday at Agricultural Park, Los Angeles,
there was a match workout between the three mares,
Sweet Marie, Sweetheart and Primrose. It was agreed
to go three heats, and Primrose was to beat the other
mares four seconds to be even. The conditions gave
Sweetheart the pole, Sweet Marie next and Primrose
on the outside, and to be allowed a prompter. The
first heat was won by Primrose in 2:09J, Sweet Marie
and Sweetheart coming in about even in 2:214. The
second heat was won by Primrose in 2:124, Sweet
Marie's time being 2:14} and Sweetheart's 2:16)-. In
the third heat the finish was very close, Sweet Marie
finishing in front in 2:15 flat, Primrose second in 2:15}
and Sweetheart third in 2:15}.

W. W. Estill, in speaking of Adbell, says he thinks
him the most remarkable sire of any time. He has
just six foals four years old, two of them Futurity
winners, Rowellen (3), 2:15J, being the best one by the
record. Another one of them has a record of 2:25},
another is in the breeding ranks and the other three
have shown speed of the Grand Circuit order. Public
appreciation of them'is shown in the prices they have
brought at the November sale at Madison Square.
Two yearlings sold for $1,450, average of $725 each;
six weanlings averaged $558 per head, an average
never equaled by any sire.

Ben Leibes, the McKinney five year old out of a
Robert McGregor mare, was shipped to Los Angeles
last week in charge of Mr. Durfee's son Vince, who
turned him over to Will Durfee, who will train him
and perhaps take him East this year. Ben Liebes
worked a mile last year in 2:134 and is one of the
grandest young stallions in California. His size Las
prevented his being raced much, but he started three
times as a three year old, and was second to The
Roman in the Stanford Stakes. He has no record.
Ben Liebes is 17 hands high, handsomely proportioned
and will make one of the greatest stock horses in
America. We look to see him enter the 2:10 list this
year.

There are quite a number of horses being worked at
the Lodi track at present. Charley Whitehead moved
his horses from the Stockton track out to Lodi the
first of the year. He has Delphi 2:12}, a green pacing
mare by Derby Ash that has been worked a mile in
2:18, last half in 1:08; a green trotter by Moses S., be-
longing to L. Moring, of Stockton, that stepped a
mile in 2:25 aud an eighth in 16} seconds, a three year
old by Directum 2:05} out of Albinio 2:21 that can show
close to a 2:20 gait pacing, and belongs to R. W.
Russell, of Stockton. Mr. Sangster has four head,
Tom Holmes, of Sacramento, has four and J. Holbrook,
the lessee of the track, has several. The Lodi track
is in fine shape, the stalls all in good condition and but
50 cents per month is charged for them.

William G. Layng held another of his successful
sales last Monday when he disposed of 84 head of ordi-
nary wagon and express horses from Modoc county at
an average of $80.80. He has several more sales in
view, and the fine roofed and seated pavilion at 721
Howard street, where these sales are held, make it an
ideal place during this rainy weather.

The Stable and Carriage Owners Association, of
San Francisco, has filed with the clerk of the Board of
Supervisors a petition "to take immediate action to
rectify the reckless and dangerous manner in which
automobiles are driven over the principal streets."
Several suggestions are made, among them being one
that each machine be compelled "to carry a significant
number prominently displayed," and that operators
of machines be compelled to slacken speed when ap-
proaching a horse, and, if a horse should show symp-
toms of fright, bring their machines to a standstill.
The hundreds of signatures to the petition are headed
by the Golden Gate Park Driving Association, E.
Aigeltinger, President. An ordinance as proposed
should be passed at once. If a horse should be driven
through the streets at the speed which many of the
automobiles run, its owner would be arrested forthwith.

Cyrus Lukens writes as follows to the Trotter and
Pacer: "All the talk about 'new blood' among the
representatives of the National Trotting Association
that are sent to represent the local associations at their
annual meetings, or at the coming congress, is simply
wide of the mark. Some actual use of that scarce
article, 'common sense, ' is required Two important
things are necessary, viz.: Abolish heat betting at
any and all cost. No amount of percentage returns to
any local association can atone for the open-door to
rascality that heat betting offers. Close the door.
That is the business required. Then a horse not win-
ning a heat in three must go to the stable. There is
clean business in a business way. Do not shorten the
distance. Enforce the two above, and the distance
will take care of itself, while the marked improvement
in the business transactions of all trotting meetings
will surprise those who make a study of that subject."

Now thatTom Marsh hassucceeded Jimmy Gatcomb
as trainer and driver of the Lawson horses and it be-
comes apparent that the Bostonian's talk of not racing
any more is not to be taken seriously, there is a good
deal of curiosity as to why the change was made. A
writer in the Kentucky Slock Farm, who is a personal
friend of Mr. Lawson, and whose utterances on the
subject of the Lawson horses have, therefore, an ex-
cathedra flavor, intimates in the current issue of that
publication that Gatcomb did not have Boralma,
the Lawson pride, in the pink of condition when
he was pulled out to race against Lord Derby at
Hartford last summer. Says the Stock Farm:
"Boralma wintered well at Hartford one year ago
and began his spring work high in flesh. In July
he was a marvel, and all who saw him were positive
in their belief that a new trotting champion was to
be found in the son of Boreal. Whether or not
his trainer succeeded in getting rid of the superfluous
layers of fat that accumulated during the winter is a
mooted question. I have heard more than one trainer
of ability say the horse never was fit, and such would
seem to have been the case from the fact that in his
races with Lord Derby he tired at the finish of the
miles, something he was never known to do before, for
Boralma, when keyed up to a race for his life, had
never stopped in the slightest degree, and, while he
seemed last year to have all of bis wonderful speed, he
failed to come to expectations when it came to living
out the race."

Director-Dexter Prince.

Few stallions have a greater speed inheritance than
Delphi 2:12| the fast pacer owned -by Chas. "White-
head of Stockton, who has taken that horse to the
Lodi track to make the season of 1902. Delphi was
sired by Director 2:17 that scion of the great Dictator
family that sired Directum 2:05£ and Direct 2:05£,
both champion race horses and both sires of extreme
speed and wonderful gameness. The dam of Delphi
was by Dexter Prince, sire of Eleata 2:08| biggest
money winner oi the Grand Circuit last season, the
renowned Merchants and Manufacturers stake being
among her victories. The second dam of Delphi was
by Priam, whose son Frank M. 2:171; was one of the
best race horses ever seen in California, and his third
dam was by the thoroughbred horse imported
Partisan.

Delphi is one of the fastest and gamest of the
Director family. Last yeai he was faster than ever
in his life, but met with an accident and could not be
raced owing to lameness. He had a representative on
the circuit however in the handsome pacer Toppy
that started a green horse and wound up the season
with a record of 2:11£, six races and very close to
$2,000 to his credit. Toppy is the only one of Delphi's
get ever trained or started in a race and this is a
pretty good showing for the first one.

At the fee of $25 which Mr. Whitehhead has fixed
for Delphi's services he is one of the cheapest stallion
considering his many qualifications ever in the stud
in California.

Seymour Wilkes 2:08 1-2.

"The fastest horse ever bred in California," is the
term that used to be applied to Seymour Wilkes when
he was racing here, and now that he is in the stud and
has a number of three and four year olds, he is being
called "the most uniform young sire of size, style and
speed." There has never been a trotting bred horse
standing for public service in this State that could
show as man? handsome sixteen hand, 1100 pound
three year olds as this son of Guy Wilkes. They all
look like him and are bringing him mares from breed-
ers all over this part of California who have seen themt
But one of his get ever started in a race — Joe Eviston,
and he took a three year old race record of 2:22 and
worked miles well below 2:20. Joe Eviston is a very
handsome horse and was game as a pebble. Seymour
Wilkes was as game a race horse as ever scored for the
word. In the holiday issue of this journal were photo-
engravings of Seymour Wilkes and five of his get.
Four were three year olds and one a two year old.
None were less than sixteen hands high and none
weighed less than 1000 pounds, the majority going to
1100. No finer looking lot of three year olds were
ever sired by any horse. Seymour Wilkes will be at
the stud at Lakeville, Sonoma county, this year as
usual at $40 the season. If any person in San Francisco
desires to see what sort of colts Seymour Wilkes pro-
duces he will be shown several if he will call at the St.
George Stables on Bush street, just above Kearny,
and ask for Mr. Gregory, owner of the horse. He has
the goods and it is no trouble to show them.

Billy Thornhill 2:24 1-2 at Milpitas.

Down at Milpitas James Boyd will have that well
bred producing stallion Billy Thornhill in the etud this
year at $25 the season. Billy Thornhill is the sire of
Ned Thome 2:11£, Lady Thornhill 2:17, Briar hill 2:18|,
Great Stakes 2:20 and other fast trotters. Great
Stakes has already sired a half dozen in the list, and
is one of the most promising sires over East, and many
of his colts now in training are showing extreme speed
Billy Thornhill is by Beverley Wilkes, a producing son
of George Wilkes 2:22, that died when a three year old,
and his dam is the great broodmare Emily by Geo.
Wilkes; second dam a great broodmare by Ashland
47, Bon of Mambrino Chief 11. Billy Thornhill is a
deep mahogany bay, no white, stands 15.24 hands high,
weighs about 1100 pounds and is a fine individual.
Being by a son of George Wilkes and out of a daughter
of that horse, he has mure of the blood of that great
sire in his veins than any horse in California and should
be a great cross for mares that do not have that blood.
Mr. Boyd will pasture mares at $2 per month and they
can be shipped to him at Milpitas. The usual return
privileges will be given to mares not proving in foal.

An Eastern horseman who looked Stam B. 2:11J
over at Pleasanton the other day remarked that this
son of Stamboul could capture the blue ribbon for
stallions at the New York Horse Show over iji the
horses that have thus far been shown there. This
is high praise, but then Stam B. is one of the best
. looking horses ever seen in any country.

Like all good things, Jackson's Napa Soda hasa

Stallion and Horse Show at Haywards.

THaywards Journal.l

Haywards will hold a horse show on Saturday,
March 8th , and judging from the representative
horsemen behind it, it will be a great success in every
particular. A number of our horsemen held a meet-
ing last week and proceeded to effect an organization
to hold a horse show here this spring. The officers
elected are:

President Geo. Gray

Vice President Geo. Grindell

Secretary Ceo. A. Oakes

Treasurer J- E. Geary

After a general discussion, Saturday, March 8th,
was the date fixed for the exhibition. The chair then
appointed the following committees:

Committee of arrangements — A. Kamage, G. S.
Langan, M. Henry.

Finance Committee — J. E. Geary, W. J. Ramage,
G. S. Langan.

Committee on Printing — G. S. Langan, J. E. Geary,
Dr. Downing, M. Henry.

It was decided to request all horsemen to enter
their horses for exhibition not later than March 1st
so as to have time to prepare a list of all taking part,
with pedigree, etc.

It was also decided to have blank forms for owners
of horses entering their stock that can be filled out
and returned to the secretary. This Information will
then be very useful on the day of the parade. It was
decided to have the Forester's Band for the entire
day.

President Gray spoke enthusiastically over the out-
look lor a fine horse display, and believed it would
attract horsemen from all over the State. A good
many inquiries had already been made as to the date
and he was much pleased to see a good start made, and
there was no doubt in his mind that it would be a
great success. J. E. Geary was equally enthusiastic
over the matter, and from the outside interest already
shown, he felt that not only Alameda and Contra Costa
counties would be represented, but Santa Clara county
also, and that a large number of horsemen from San
Francisco, Oakland and San Jose would be present,

This exhibition should be of great benefit to horse
breeders, for here will be shown all classes of horses;
the stallions, draught horses, thoroughbreds, carriage
and driving horses. This will naturally stimulate our
farmers to raise the very best stock. These horse
shows ought to be great educators.

M. Henry agreed with the remarks of Mr. Geary,
and was satisfied that this show would open the eyes
of the breeders in this valley. Mr. Henry said that he
was already assured of a representation from Liver-
more, Pleasanton and Contra Costa county and that
some of the most famous sires and their colts in the
State would be here.

News From the North.

[North Pacific Rural Spirit, Feb 7.J

E. R. Clark will jog Kittitas Ranger 2:11£, Chehalis
Maid 2:25, the green pacer Slyetta and some two year
olds over the Olympia track this spring.

John Pender has decided on keeping his stallion
Captain Jones in the stud at Irvington track up to
April 1st. After that time he will be located at the
Fair Grounds, Salem, Or. Parties breeding mares
here will have the privilege of the whole season, by
sending the mares to Salem, where good pasture will
be provided.

A meeting of road drivers was held in this office last
Saturday evening for the purpose of taking some steps
toward the organization of a gentlemen's driving club.
B. F. Hayden was chosen chairman of the meeting and
A. M. Cronin secretary. After a general discussion by
those present of the great need of a driving club in
this city, it was decided to proceed with the organiza-
tion, and Messrs. Quimby, Mitchell, Lohmire, Craig,
Johnson and Wisdom were appointed a committee on
permanent organization, with instructions to report
Thursday evening at this office.

Samuel Elmore, of Astoria, paid us a visit this week,
and talked horse. Mr. Elmore is in the cannery busi-
ness, and it does him good to lay down the cares of a
canneryman and take up the sport of the trotting turf.
He has a big black pacer over in Johnny Tilden's
stables that does him good to think about. He is by
Malheur out of Mamie Harney (dam of Sidmoor 2:17|)
by Grand Moor, and with but very little work can
show a two-minute clip, which is phenomenal speed
for the short time he has been in harness. Mr. Elmore
says this is faster than he wants to ride on the Astoria
speedway and may conclude to trade him off for some-
thing slower.

Waldo T. Pierce, owner of Alcidalia 12:10}, has not
lost faith in the little mare, although for the first time
in her career, she proved a disappointment last season.
Mr. Pierce expects to be on hand when the $5,000 2:11
class is trotted et Readville next fall.

Racing Trotters Under Saddle Would be Popular.

"That part of the public which enjoys harness racing,
demands novelties to relieve such races from the
monotony which characterizes this branch of sport in
a more marked degree than any other. The owners
and breeders may be deeply interested in a contest
between horses able to trot a mile in harness in 2:20 or
2:25, but to those not thus interested, this class of
racing soon becomes exceedingly tiresome and un-
interesting. We know of no novelty that could be
injected into the sport which would be more popular
than to make classes, at each of the prominent race
meetings, for horses to trot and pace under saddle. In
our early turf history, more trotting races were con-
tested under saddle than in harness, and it is doubtful
if any races of modern times have been more exciting
and popular uhan were those participated in by Top-
gallant, Whalebone,- Dread, Collector, Columbus,
Dutchman, Ripton, Rattler, Lady Suffolk, O'Blenis
and other sensational performers, who half a century
ago electrified the racing world by their performances
under saddle. To the present generation of race
followers, trotting races under saddle are practically
unknown. In 1836, Dutchman established the world's
four mile trotting record under saddle at 10:51. Three
years later, he placed the three mile record, at this
way of going, at 7:32i. In 1840, Lady Suffolk trotted
two miles under saddle in 4:59, which George M.
Patchen lowered to 4:56 in 1836. In 1866, Dexter
trotted the Buffalo track in 2:18, which was, and con-
tinued to be, the world's record until 1877, when Great
Eastern lowered this record to 2:15|.

The pacers have not been successful at accumulating
fast records under saddle as their diagonal gaited rela-
tives. In 1839, Bowery Boy established the two mile
pacing record under saddle at 5:04J. In 1843, Oneida
Chief placed the three mile record, at his way of going,
at 7:44. In 1868, Billy Boyce paced a mile under saddle
in 2:14], which stood as the world's record for 20 years,
when Johnston reduced it to 2:13. Hence, the mile
trotting record has stood for 25 years, the two mile for
39 years, the three mile for 63 years, and the four mile
for 66 years. The mile pacing record has stood for 14
years, the two mile for 63 years and the three mile for
59 years. The failure to break these records during
these long periods, is not because we have not had
horses capable of performing the feat, or riders with
sufficient expertness to guide and control the perform-
ers; but is attributable wholly to the fact that for some
unexplainable reason, manages of race courses con-
ceived tne idea that trotting and pacing races under
saddle would not be popular. Managers of running
races have exhibited much more enterprise and incor-
porate^ into their races features of novelty in the way
of steeplechasingand hurdle racing, which have largely
contributed to the enjoyment and success of their
meetings.

In the early years of harness racing, Hiram Wood-
ruff. Dan Mace, Ben Mace and BuddDoble demonstrated
that it was perfectly practicable for an expert reinsman
to be also an expert in the saddle, and we know of no
reason why the foremost drivers of the present day
could not become proficient in racing trotters under
saddle. The fact that novelty in harness racing is
popular with the public is well illustrated by the suc-
cess of the innovation, inaugurated last year at Syra-
cuse and Memphis, of allowing amateur racing in con-
nection with the regular trotting events. It is safe to
say that no part of the sport was more enjoyed by the
public present on these occasions than were the con-
tests between the amateurs. Public popularity is the
goal sought to be reached by the managers of race
tracks, and we believe that this object can be attained
by the introduction of the nowadays novelty of racing
under saddle.1' — Rider and Driver.

While there is little doubt that trotting and pacing
races under saddle, as advocated by our contemporary 1
would be popular with the public, it is very difficult to
arrange such events. Many associations have tried it
in recent years, but it has nearly always been impos-
sible to get such races filled.

The Kentucky Futurity for colts of 1902 will be
worth $21,000 and will close March loth. Secretary
Wilson says that he looks for a good big list of entries
These big spates for trotting colts are of great value
to the breeding interests, and add much to the selling
price of youngsters entered in them. Now that the
hard times which followed the "boom days" are over,
and breeding has regained very nearly if not quite its
old time volume.

Velvet Rose, a bay mare by McKinney 2:11^ out of
Etta Wilkes 2:19J, dam of McKenna 2:17J, had been
intended for a trotter and trained at that way of go-
ing, but in a workout last season she struck a pace,
and the way she went down the fine was a surprise.
She has shown quarters in 30£ seconds, a 2:03 gait, and
will be allowed to pace this season. She was taken
East last year by C. A. Winship, of Los Angeles, and
sold to Mr. J. C. McKinney, of Titusville, Pa,

District Fairs and Races in 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Now that
the season of 1902 is fairly launched upon the sea of
hope, every farmer, horseman, trainer and driver in
the State is anxiously enquiring and trying to evolve
in their respective minds the prospects of the coming
season. With the bitter experience of the past years
the solution of that knotty problem requires careful
thought and consideration.

In the management of district fairs and races, as in
all lines of commercial or manufacturing business, none
should aspire to leadership or places of responsibility
except those pre-eminently qualified to fill them, and
every position requiring strict integrity combined with
a thorough practical knowledge of every detail con"
nected with the successful termination of such enter-
prise should be filled by the most competent men-
When a district or association declares to give a fair
or race meeting, its first duty should be to select as
secretary or manager one who practically understands
the duties of such office in its minutest detail. In his
hands should be placed a certain amount of power by
which he may be permitted to manage its affairs with-
out being circumscribed in any untoward degree.

The farmer, the manufacturer, the merchant in each
district feeling a just and honorable pride in his ex-
hibit will necessarily look to the management of such
fair to place their respective products in such juxtapo-
sition as to attract the attention of intending visitors.
This is one of the most important features in connec-
tion with district fairs, and a successful business man
ager will see that it is done in a manner to attract
public merit.

In selecting such other officers as are required in
meetings of this character, the next most important is
that of presiding judge, for with him rests the great
responsibility of pleasing the general public. He must
be a man of sterling personality combined with a prac-
tical knowledge of all rules governing the various
points, such as the judging of blooded stock, the
awarding of prizes where merit is strictly justified,
and above all he ought to be the happy possessor of
that faculty of catering to the general public.

Unfortunately, too much dependence has been placed
in the hands of men wholly unqualified to perform the
arduous duties required of them; consequently a
general dissatisfaction arises and too frequently merit
is awarded where merit is not due. To avoid all
these complications, which in a great measure leads to
an undesirable conclusion, we again assert that none
but those eminently qualified should be called upon to
fill those important positions and pass judgment on all
exhibits which may come under their charge.

As to the management of harness racing the especial
duties of a competent secretary are clearly brought to
view. To this officer alone, in a marked degree, suc-
cess or failure is mainly attributable.

Every district which contemplates giving a harness
race meeting should be more than solicitous "for the
welfare of the patrons of the trotting turf. This be-
ing the most important of its various attractions it
should be governed by the greatest care and men only
placed in responsible positions whose sagacity and
energy predominate,

We are impelled to allude to the vital importance of
selecting the most competent men in the judge's stand,
Having witnessed with painful chagrin the many
blunders made by men placed in these responsible
positions we unhesitatingly condemn that practice.
No matter how prominent the citizen may be, how
high he may stand socially or politically, his attain-
ments may be of the highest character, but with all
this without he possesses a practical knowledge of the
rules he is not or should not be qualified to act. We
condemn the motives of placing in these important
positions any but the most competent, for it takes a
quick eye and a trained, skillful mind to detect fraud
or wrong-doing on the part of trainer or driver. And
to this latter class, be it said, they have done more
than their share to bring harness racing into the un-
pleasant and unprofitable position it holds to-day. It
is, therefore, to avoid these unpleasant complications
that we demand the placing of competent men in the
judge's stand. When the rules of harness racing are
flagrantly violated what may we expect to see Simply
that which unfortunately has made harness racing a
mockery and brought upon its head the opprobrium
of its oldest and sincerest patrons.

We also take a pardonable pride in advocating the
selection of a competent paid starting judge. Here is
one of the most important of all harness racing officials
— he must be quick of action, fearless in the perform-
ance of the duties devolving upon him and in sternly
rebuking and punishing the transgressor of the rules.
In a marked degree he holds the key to the whole sit-
uation for without fair starting and a keen perception
in the matter of detecting fraud the most admired of
all attractions at the district fair will not be a fair con-
test, and without this all interest must cease. We can

not condemn the various offenses against the rules
otherwise than by prompt and adequate punishment
compatible with the nature and character of the
offense, as it too frequently happens that the offenders
of this class are let go unpunished and the inevitable
result is a general dissatisfaction. Whereas if an ex-
ample had been made it would be a solemn warning to
others not to violate or transgress the rules again. We
allude to these matters in no uncertain terms with a
knowledge that if the officials alluded to are competent
we have no fear of the successful termination of the
harness meetings of this or the years to come.

Having thus outlined that which we think is most
desirable to the success of harness racing there still
remains one very important factor to be discussed, and
that is the system of betting. We have alluded to this
subject on previous occasions and never in the past did
we condemn in such scathing words as we now reiterate
against the abominable system known as bookbetting.
This system, like a plague, came upon harness racing
on this coast some six or seven years ago and since its
first advent we recall the downfall of trotting racing
on this coast. Every device known to the corruption-
ist has been practiced; every scheme whereby the un-
scrupulous tout could work his nefarious game. Time
and again have we referred to this system as the most
corruptiole ever introduced into the enclosure of a
trotting park. It has done more to decrease the value
of the trotting horse than aught else we know of; it
has entered its poisonous fangs on that truly great
national sport and we know of nothing greater for the
rehabilitation of harness racing as in years gone by
than forever to abolish from the confines of the trot-
ting track this most abominable of all systems of betting
on trotting races — bookbetting.

This system has had its alluring specialties: un-
fortunately the owner, trainer or the driver become
susceptible to the entreaties of the tout and here is
when the curse of bookbetting begins. Right before
our eyes have we seen the dire result but we were
powerless to act. The public were clamoring for justice
but the incompetent judge in the stand or -the asso-
ciation who connived with the bookmaker to beguile
the public, succeeded in their wily scheme and hence
we witnessed the downfall of trotting horse interest
and it cannot be reclaimed except by the total ex"
elusion from every trotting track in the state of this
the most debasing of all systems, the bookbetting
system.

The State Agricultural Society in its wisdom has
seen fit to debar it from the trotting turf. At its last
annual meeting, there was not a voice in favor of its
retention, that hydra headed monster received its
death blow through the instrumentality of the lovers
of the trotting horse. It now remains for all the other
District Associations of the Pacific Coast to emulate
the good example set them by the State Agricultural
Society. The P. C. T. H. B. Association being next
in line must place themselves on record as being
opposed to bookbetting and substituting therefor the
old and tried system of Auction and Paris Mutuel
pools.

This latter has been tried for upward of forty years
and no system in connection with harness racing has
been more approved. It is, therefore, to be hoped that
every association on the coast which contemplates the
giving of a harness race meeting will adopt these and
no other, and we would still go farther and advocate
the forming of a Horsemen's Protective Association to
this end, not to patronize any track or any association
where bookbetting was held. This could be made man-
datory by an agreement by and between owners and
drivers, and no association would dare adopt the
system of bookbetting in face of such determined
opposition.

It now becomes the duty of owners and drivers to
enter liberally in the classes which will be advertized
in these columns in the near future. Stakes ana purses
of such size and proportion as to attract breeders and
trainers, will no doubt be given from one end of the
state to the other and when the last tap of the bell
sounds in November next, every owner and driver in
the great State of California will have cause to rojoice
that he has witnessed and participated in a successful
year.

There remains only the adoption of the suggestion
we have made and California will again rejoice in the
fact that the fleet sons and daughters of our illustrous
sires will again be seen contending for supremacy over
the many tracks of our state and the necessity of
looking for more lucrative fields will be minimized by
the prompt and united action of those in whose power
it lies to make those meetings attractive and profitable.

Early Closing Stakes tor Brighton Beach.

Charles A. McCuliy, Secretary of the New York
Trotting Association, announces his stakes and has
practically purchased the franchise for all time of the
Glens Falls Trotting Association in the Grand Circuit.
His association has sanctioned his negotiations along
that line, and it is as good as assured that the offer
made will be accepted. At all events there will be
racing at Brighton Beach August 11th to 16th inclu-
sive. It is a fast, safe track.

Five early closing stakes are opened, entries to close
on March 1st. The, plan of payment is in the horse-
men's favor, as McCuliy makes the first two payments
very light and carries the horse two months each time.
The final payment, August 1st, is the largest, and by
that time the nominator knows whether he can race
or not. The stakes are as follows:

$10,000 Bonner Memorial for 2:12 Class, Trotting—
Horses to be named August 1st; payments: March 1st,
$25; May 1st, $75: July 1st, $150; August 1st, $250.

$5000, The Hiram Woodruff, for 2:20 Class, Trotting
— Horses to be named March 1st; payments: March
1st, $15; May 1st, $35; July 1st, $75; August 1st, $125.

$5000, John H. Shults for Four Year Olds, 2:25 Class,
Trotting — Horses to be named March 1st; payments:
March 1, $15; May 1, $35; July 1, $75; August 1, $125.

$5000, The Metropolitan for 2:30 Class, Pacing-
Horses to be named March 1st; payments: March 1st,
$15; May 1st, $35; July 1st, $75; August 1st, $125.

$5000 — The Brighton for 2:10 Class, Pacers — Horses
to be named August 1st; payments: March 1st, $25;
May 1st, $75; July 1st, $150: August 1st, $250.

Five per cent additional will be deducted from win-
ners, and as last season the "Brighton Beach plan,"
now universally indorsed, will be in vogue, all non-heat
winners retiring at the end of the third heat, leaving
the actual race among the real contenders. Hopples
are not barred in the pacing classes. A favorable
clause is to the end that where four start the entire
purse is paid out and horses distancing competitors
benefit thereby, which is a sportsmanlike condition
and appreciated by those who race their horses all
season. ^^_^_

Where the Flag Falls.

[The Horseman.]
If the recommendations of the joint committee are
approved by both congresses the distance flag in
the future will be placed at seventy yards when less
than eight horses start and at ninety when fields con-
sist of more than eight horses. In other words, the
distance will be thirty feet shorter than previously
and many a horse will have the flag fall in his face
next season that in previous years under same condi-
tions well saved his distance. The distance as origi-
nally fixed was, respectively, 100 and 150 yards. At
the meeting of the joint committee four years ago it
was recommended that it be reduced to eighty and
ninety yards. This the congress of the American
Association adopted, but when the question came be-
fore the congress of the National Association it was
voted down and it was not until the last regular con-
gress, in 1900, that the National adopted the shorter
distance. There are many who feel that the distance
flag should be still nearer the wire than was recom-
mended by the committee of two weeks ago and if
appreciable improvement is noted in this year's racing,
and the laying up of heats is not so pronounced as.in
the past, there will, two years hence, be a strong move-
ment toward making the distance still shorter. If the
recommendations are approved one thing, at least,
will happen — the distance will be uniform — for as the
new rule is framed no association will be allowed to go
back to any old distance rules. For half mile track
racing, the old rule stands, but associations will not be
permitted to go back of the rules of to-day, which pro-
vide that the distance shall be resptotively 100 and 150
yards. Half-mile tracks may adopt the short distance
of seventy and ninety yards. A loophole for all, but
one that will hardly be taken advantage of by either
owners or associations, is a new section that is recom-
mended to the distance rule and which provides that
"in any heat or race distance may be waived by the
consent of the member and the starters."

One of the grandest individual stallions ever led
into a sale ring was Lord of the Manor. He will be
remembered as a full brother of Lady of the Manor
2:04}, but owing to his high temperament he never
could be trained successfully, but had speed of the
very highest order. John Dickerson says he can trot
faster than any stallion he ever drew reign over. He
certainly was a bargain at the price — $725.

The professional judge will soon be a fixture at the
more important trotting meetings.

On a hot day drink Jackson's Napa Soda lemonade
and be refreshed.

The broodmares that were offered out of the
General Tracy consignment brought high prices. One
man from central Illinois was on hand to purchase a
few, but went back empty-handed, thinking thorn too
high in price; $500, $600 and even $700 for well-bred
mares that had never produced anything were com-
mon prices.

Yankee Entries m England.

Many important entries were made by American
owners on January 7th in a lot of valuable English
stakes, full particulars of which have just arrived in
this country. The Messrs. J. R. & F. P. Keene,
William C. Whitney, William K. Vanderbilt, Richard
Croker and Frank Gardner are the turfmen from
America who have nominated so freely.

Mr. Whitney's name as a nominator has attracted
attention, because that gentlemen has entered his
horses in some races, such as the Chester Cup, a handi-
cap, and up to date he was not known as having-
entered in the Ascot Gold Cup or Vase, two of the
most eagerly coveted races in England. It is, however
thought that a number of entries made in America on
January 7th, and which had not reached England by
mail may contain Mr. Whitney's best horses, Volo-
dyovski and Kilmarnock and perhaps Nasturtium.

Mr. Richard Croker is very lavish in his entries.
Stanhope, his Derby candidate, has been nominated
for the Ascot Gold Cup, two miles and a half, a race
in which good three year olds are not usually run, be-
cause their Derby, Grand Prix and other three year
old engagements would interfere. "Either Mr. Croker
has got a stayer in Svanhope, or else he is being entered
in races for which he has no chance, " was the com.
ment of one expert.

Mr. Vanderbilt has made entries for races to be run
as early as the Lincoln meeting, in the last week of
March, and this seems to confirm the report that Mr.
Vanderbilt will make a serious effort to win the Derby
with EUesmere.

Comment of English turf experts is to the effect that
the strongest stable in England this year will be that
of the Messrs. Keene, father and son. It is said that
the horses now in their stable abroad are valued at
not less than a quarter of a million dollars, principally
because several of them are engaged in many rich
stakes which they seem to have an extra good chance
to win, because their opponents lack class.

Two English Thoroughbreds For the Napa
Stock Farm.

A few weeks ago there arrived at Mr. A. B.
Spreckels' Napa Stock Farm two stallion bred in Eng-
land, and which are notable additions to the list of
imported thoroughbreds in California. The stallions
were purchased in England last fall on Mr. Spreckels'
order and are both handsome horses of the choicest
breeding.

Solitaire is a bay horse, foaled 1896, and was sired by
the popular stallion Ayrshire, winner of the Derby
and St. Leger of 1888, and sire of Airs and Graces,
winner of the Oak's of 189S. Solitaire is of the 12 family
according to the Bruce Lowe figure, his dam Solesky
by Thunder being of that family. He is a very stout
bred Eclipse horse, tracing in the tail female line to
Prosperine, own &isterto that horse of immortal equine
fame. Jn the third remove in his pedigree will be
found Lord Clifden, Galopin, Thunderbolt {son of
Stockwell) and Rataplan (brother to Stockwell). Sires
of this same female line have sired ten Derby winners,
seven Oaks, seven St. Legers, four 2000 Guineas and

liarsyas, Weatherbit, Voltaire and others, and in the
United States, Lexington, Prince Charlie, Salvator,
Sensation, The Bard and all descendants of the Levity
family come from the same line.

Marius II., the other stallion, is of the 4 family,
Bruce Lowe figures. He is a son of St. Serf, sire of
Barney Schreiber's stallion imp. Sain, that is proving
such a success in the stud. St. Serf is by St. Simon,
the leading winner sire of England for several years
past and the most popular stallion in the world to-day.
The dam of Marius II. is Sunny Queen by Galopin and
traces to the Layton Barb mare. In 32 quaterings
he has fifteen sire figures, nine running figures (two of

figures. Sunny Locks, his grandam, was by New-
minster, the great son of Touchstone, and Honey-
suckle, the great grandam of his sire, was a full sister
to Newminster. From his female line have come the
winners of seven Derbys, ten St. Legers, eleven Oaks,
seven 2000 Guineas, eight Doncaster cups, four Good,
wood cups and seven Ascot cups.

Austrian Racing Ethics.

An action has been commenced against Count Bat-
thyany, as President of the Hungarian Jockey Club,
by a tradesman of Buda-Pesth, whose name was pub-
lished in the official Calendar of the club as having
been warned off all courses, premises, enclosures, etc.,
over which the club held jurisdiction. The name of
the tradesman in question was linked with several
others whose reputation was more or less cloudy, and
he commenced proceedings against the responsible
publisher of the Calendar. Ultimately he amended
his plaint, and asked that the immunity enjoyed by
Count Elemer Batthyany as member of the Senate or
Chamber of Magnates should be raised. Further a
petition has been addressed to the Minister of the In-
terior asking that it shall be declared illegal for the
Jockey Club to warn off persons over whom, as general
public, they have no control, and that, above all, the

One of the most promising two-yearoldB at the
Montgomery Park track is a east off from the Keene
stable. At the dispersal sale of the Keene weanlings
and yearlings last year twins were offered which claim-
ed as their dam the imp. Mere Hill, the dam of Un-
masked and other winners in this country. The twins
were a colt and a filly, by St. Leonards, a leading
stallion at the Keene farm. The filly was sold for a
gift, and C. E. Mahone, of Lexington, was the receiver.
She recently worked an eighth of a mile in thirteen
seconds flat, and this trial is the talk of the track, as
it was the first asked of her. A peculiar fact in con-
nection with the twin filly is that she is ridden by a
boy who has a twin sister named after Mr. Mahone's
twin sister. If the filly is given a name like Sin
Twister she should win the first time out.

An English Opinion.

While on the subject of Derby candidates, writes a
Newmarket correspondent under the date of January
20th, I may mention that Jack Bartholomew, who,
during the 'absence of Mr. Huggins in America, has
sole charge of the Heath House team, gave us a look
at Nasturtium, the Yankee Derby candidate, yesterday
morning: as the crack was, however, well clothed up
there was not much chance given of studying his con-
formation, but sufficient of him came under observa-
tion to satisfy onlookers that he is a splendid stamp of
animal, showing a lot of quality with tremendous bone.
It was the first appearance of the stranger on the
training grounds after being cooped up in the home
paddock, which is walled round, so that it was but
natural that the son of Watercress should be a trifle
excited by his new surroundings. He may, of course,
be by nature a very high couraged, excitable kind of
an animal.

However, he gave onlookers the impression of
having plenty of freedom of action all round, and
tfhen fully extended in his stride will cover a lot of
ground. His hocks, being placed so low down, suggest
that he is possessed of wonderful propelling power be-
hind, and I may furthermore add, judging Mr.
Whitney's Derby candidate by his present looks, and
style of carrying himself, he appears much better
adapted for speel than stamina. All the same, let it
be understood that I do not commit myself to the
statement as being strictly correct. It will be time
enough to do so after the colt has settled down to
do good gallops over the Derby distance, when I shall
be in a much better position to express an opinion.

A Change at Charleston.

Charleston, S. C, Feb. 6.— President Wall, of the
Charleston Racing Association, notified the Exposition
Company to-day that he would surrender the manage-
ment of the Exposition track to the Board of Directors
on March 1st. The Exposition Company is of the
opinion that it can make money out of the track and
has been trying to get control for some time. This
belief, however, may be due to ignorance, as the asso-
ciation of which Wall is president has lost more than
$20,000 since the meeting started in December. Turf
men doubt the ability of the Exposition Company to
continue the meeting and they are uncertain about the
future. Wall and his associates, according to the
reports to-night, may draw out at any time and unless
the Exposition Company can pay purses the races will
close. Because of this latest move, the plan for a mile
track in Charleston ha? been abandoned and Wall,
Joe Uullman and others will build a mile track in At-
lanta for regular winter racing.

The thoroughbred stallion Col. Rooseveldt by Fal-
setto out of Pearl Thorn by Pat Malloy, is at the
Rancho Del Valle, where he will be in the stud for the
season of 1902. This horse is a fine individual and
well bred and should sire winners, as he was a winner
himself and ran many good races.

The following horses are eligible to start to-day in
the Burns Handicap. Diderot, Black Dick, Frangible,
All Green, Scotch Plaid, Corrigan, Articulate, Horton,

THE AMERICAN TROTTER.

A Useful Animal and Not an Extravagant One.

[EVERETT L. SMITH.]

New York, Feby. 3, 1902.

How many numbered the great "general public"
wonder what becomes ot our last trotters and are given
t'o popularly considering possession of a record trotter
or pacer the "beginning of the end" in a man's — especi-
ally the business man's— life. As a matter of fact, the
trotter is really our most useful horse possible to rear
and, practically managed, need never become much of
an extravagant luxury.

Too true, not a few that have sold in other days at
extremely sensational figures, have panned out poorly.
And why? Primarily, the purchaser was not practical
and went not beyond mere pedigree excellence. Then,
as now, although till the panic in trotting horse breed-
ing circles extended over the land back in 1892, indi-
viduality was not held to as it ought have been, and
because of a few failures the successes were and ever
will be, quite overlooked by those always ready to put
in what they consider able "clinchers," yet in reality
merely idle talk.

There is the matter in a nutshell. When J. Malcolm
Forbes paid $125,000 for Arion, the champion of all
champions, not to bar Cresceus, he secured the most
wonderful colt trotter in the world, one never apt to
be duplicated, and so far in advance of his fellows,
that, at the time, the price was warranted.

Arion was a stallion, his sire the leader of all sires of
trotters, the sire of his dam the leader of living sires
and standing at prohibitive stud fee — $1000 — insuring
to Mr. Forbes practically the only representative aside
from a full trotter obtainable. Electioneer, Arion's
sire, had died the year before.

Had there been no panic, no introduction of our
"bike" sulky, no opening of the Independence, la.,
"Kite" track, whereupon over four hundred horses
were "railroaded" into the 2:30 list against time — 2:30
— Arion would long since — it was 1891 — have earned to
Mr. Forbes his full purchase cost.

Yet others purchased by the same wealthy, plucky,
practical breeder in later years paid their way and are
to-day not a dollar in debt to Mr. Forbes in conse-
quence of advanced methods employed in managing
his trotting ventures. One swallow never made a
summer, and one Arion and his $125,000 sale and failure
to earn the full amount to his owner does not class all
breeding ventures necessarily as failures.

The trouble with the trotting turf has ever been
that the owner becomes lavish in the expenditure of
his funds and having decided to purchase a fast horse
must ever secure the very highest cost incidentals.
In direct consequence what is always charged to the
horse itself properly does not come under that caption
on his owner's book, but should be charged up to a
"needless expense" account. The one hundred dollar
blanket, two hundred and fifty dollar harness and
costly wagon, sleigh, whip or robe, all " is considered
chargeable to a horse possibly costing a thousand
dollars, as an extravagant limit.

To make a trotter profitable the owner should study
to keep all expenses to a minimum. If he wins well
and the cost has been kept low a profit is readily to be
obtained as buyers are plenty at all times for the best.
Ever has it been so and why?

Now that speedways are being constructed every-
where our business men have a chance offered to drive
their own trotters at speed and where is the man not
imbued with that desire to lead his neighbor when
seated behind even the staid family hack? The old
deacon and his "One Horse Shay," whom Scott
Leighton pictured leading the village dude behind his
sleek, high price trotter is an example. In the couotry
many the impromptu skirmish going to meeting to get
a favorite, shaded hitchpost for the one driving horse
kept for especially Sunday work. At "town meetin' "
time our ancestors were given to just a little brushing
for local honors and everywhere you may go you will
ever see this comparative spirit evinced. It is there,
and bound to assert itself one time or another.

No man ever refused a horse offered him, at his limit
as pertains to price, who objected to a little of ready
speed. It is the distinctively American feature of our
road history. Once a man gets his appetite whetted in
any direction he is bound to advance a few steps as a
matter of course. So with the merchant starting to
drive. He grows to like a fast horse, buys better each
time in need and in a few years really owns a trotter.

There is in England a distinct type bred and inter-
bred for a century, known as the hackney. Here in
America wecan accurately produce any known English
product, and with the advance of the hackney soon
followed the hackneyized trotter. To-day at the great
National Horse Show the highly bred 2:15 equipped
American trotter, re-fashioned by the docking irons
and trimmed in precise style by the shears, vies for the

blue rosette with the bred in the purple English hack-
ney imported here so extensively a few seasons since
by a coterie of wealthy men who thought to be quite
in a field by themselves.

Not only does he compete with, but he actually de-
feats the hackney in the road and coaching classes.
In only the breeding classes can the simon pure hack-
ney be found successful. The requirements of the
Hackney Association Register prohibit the competi-
tion for honors; yet even the best posted hackney ex-
pert has long since ceased to talk of the hackney
"type" by leading dealers with an eye to purely com-
mercial side of it that only the iron was necessary to
complete the work of evolution from the 2:15 track
performer to the hackney "type."

Of course after this "trimming" has to come a con-
siderable schooling so to secure high "acting," his
head is confined by means of the "dumb jockey" so to
secure the "perfect crest arch;" he is taught to come
to a stand and "sprawl" as does the imported hackney.
This "sprawling" is standing with fore feet planted in
advance and the hind ones reached beyond the line of
the hocK. Then he drops his back, palls in his chin
and is -the model hackney as concerns the "type."

Nearly or all of the Thomas W. Lawson prize win-
ning string of "Gloriouses" are fast stallion trotters
trimmed into the hackney "type," schooled by ex-
perts to "act high," and their natural adaptiveness
and ready speed and intelligence does the rest. One
or two leading breeders maintain, at great cost,
establishments inhabited solely by imported and native-
bred, registered, true blue hackneys, but to-day their
sales are outnumbered by the dealers in the hack-
neyized American trotter brand.

Last year several of this latter class sold as high as
S5,000, and a few reached to $10,000.

They never can meet the hackneys in the breeding
classes, and as a consequence competition in said breed-
ing classes suffers preceptibly. In the harness classes
one sees very, very few bred in the purple hackneys.
Glorious Red Cloud, Glorious Whirling Cloud and all
the Gloriouses are trotters with new names because
the wealthy owner would never stand for such turf
names as one encounters looking over a trotting
programme.

Just stop for a moment and think of the men who
have grown wealthy selling and developing our
American hackneyized trotters! Several firms employ
buyers at high salaries to scour the horse breeding
sections searching for horses with crest, massiveness
sufficient to warrant the trimming process. It takes
years to breed and bring to market the bred hackney;
a month to six weeks to trim into hackney form, and
then school and perfect the other sort.

Too many trotting horse breeders buy elegantly
bred, successful breeding stock, turn it out and simply
depend on raising a fast one for returns. Were they
to put their mares to some road or light farm work,
not only would they be benefited because of the kiiling-
of-two-birds-with-one-stone idea, as they now have to
maintain several farm horses at no little cost to run
their farms and then again the animals themselves, if
properly worked and cared for, would be in the end
producers of a hardier race and kept in better bodily
condition.

I know owners of $10,000 broodmares would hold up
their hands in horror if asked to hitch one to even a
hayrake and do a little work. They never did other
than draw a 50-pound wagon or sulky. The stallions
are kept in idleness all their lives, and few ever did a
bit of farm or heavy road work in their lives. So long
as their stock sells well all is well, so with the brood-
mares; if they produce one really fast one their follow-
ing foals are sure to sell and pay a supposed profit.
Average a stud, however, and the profits on the entire
band lessen not a little.

I visited a farm at Taunton, Mass., once, where had
been bred the fastest four year old trotter of her day —
Galatea 2:25| — and other good ones. Asking for the
leading sire, I was pointed out a black horse in the
decided rough, and hitched to a common farm tipcart-
He had in his day trotted to a record of 2:24}, and his
owner was convinced that as he could trot well but not
keep earning winter oats at that vocation through
life, it were better to keep him busy when not in the
stud, and how better than working unshod in the
fields, never put to excessive strain or in any way
injured or overtested.

His legs were never bandaged — where was the need?
No blankets hung on blanket poles, no pictures of his
genealogical celebrities along the line of descent adorn-
ing his big roomy stall, the upper section of the door
always open, save in zero weather, yet he was groomed
to a nicety, his tail washed out daily, feet kept leveled
and cleansed, and he received the very best and most
practical care. Good enough for a Peter Stirling, a
Boralma or Lord Derby even.

How that horse sired speed and his colts, from mares
similarly worked and stable-kept won premiums in the
competitions at leading stock shows each fall, seemed

more hardy than the progeny of mares kept in ap-
proved track manner.

The son of the owner is among the leading trainers
of the Bay State, and has marked a pacer at 2:081,
and a trotter won over $20,000 for him, retiring with a
record of 2:10}, so he is up-to-date every way viewed.
His father before him was, before retiring to the farm,
a good speedmaker and understood .every detail as
concerns "stylish," luxurious care of a trotter. So
the keeping of his own stallion showed that after due
consideration he did not cons'.der a trotter above farm
work. He makes money with his horses and the way
is open to all breeders so to do.

But the farm work, the hackneyization, the active
participation on track and road and the mere showing
for premiums at the big shows here and there are all
well in their way, still put the well broken trotter at
work in any field of labor and he is at home and at
once a leader. He is intelligent, economical in his
labors, learns directly the easiest way of accomplish-
ing destinies, and the one most desired and all-im-
portant feature to be considered is that one term,
"harness-broken."

Too many have passed through colthood to even old
age and yet know little more than to check his speed
somewhat if commanded to "whoa;" they would not
of their own accord "back" at the command nowadays,
know nothing of the old "age" or any of that old time
rigmarole once indispensable to a horse's perfect
education. It is always the case on the stock farms
to locate the extremely fast trotters or pacers, get
them at once to the races and try and win money at
the nearest point with a little bet on the side, so to
make the winning a real clean-up.

There are few of the old-time colt "breakers" now-
adays, and why? The colts to-day are "educated,"
as it is termed. At birth they are haltered, led about
as a week old suckling, harnessed at four or five
months, taken to the miniature track before weaning
almost, learn to wear boots before they know what
oats are. At yearling form they are harness-broken,
given regular track training, and even some racing.
Of course the fastest sell high if sensational, as witness
the $10,300 obtained here at auction last November
for Miss Previous. She had covered a quarter mile in
33} seconds, a 2:14 gait at that tender age. None like
her.

In other days the owner was not in such haste.
Goldsmith Maid began her most wonderful campaign-
ing when II years old, raced till 21 and trotted to the
world's record when 14; duplicated it at 17, and, all
told, won 334 heats in or below 2:30. She was a bunch
of nerves and hard to control. To-day our horses live
as long, but the rapid transit way of bringing them to
perfection shortens their days of soundness, and they
are too many times cripples when a mere youngster.
If they win money all is well; if otherwise, it is actually
money thrown away and unwarranted extravagance.
Far better to have kept them working till maturity,
earning money on the road or farm, and then, if they
trotted creditably fast, the market is there awaiting
them.

Our present band of road drivers regard a horse of
seven or eight as "getting along in years;" they think
a horse of ten too old for usage in any practical sphere
save as discards at a low figure, and yet I think it will
be all different within the next decade.

The breeeder who aims at producing highly appear-
ing, souna, perfectly broken and mannered, extremely
fast trotters, yes or pacers, has a field open to him that
offers much of ready profit if expenses be kept low.
If more of attention were paid to the marketing of
very handsome, very fast and perfectly gaited trotting
pairs, it would, what with the speedway and matinee
racing popularity ever on theincrease, pay handsomely.

Years ago the veteran millionaire, Frank Work,
paid about $35,000 for Dick Swiveler 2:18 and Edward
2:19, as first class a fast pair as has been seen in New
York since trotting became a pronounced and popular
sport, and wealthy men are left in sufficient numbers
to yet pay high prices for our best. We are now en-
joying the fruits of past failures, the lessons of the
panic, and the state of the market is very promising
and altogether healthy.

The California Wing Club meeting; on Wednesday
evening was well attended, a majority of the club mem-
bers being present. The officers elected for the year
were: President, Dr. S. C. Knowles; Vice-President, Ed
Donohoe; Secretary-Treasurer, Clarence Nauman.

The initiation fee for membership in the club was
raised to $20. The annual dues were also increased to
$20.

The club has a membership at present of between
thirty-five and forty members and enjoys the reputa-
tion of being the oldest live bird shooting organization
in the United States.

A committee composed of Jos. J. Sweeney, L. Gerstle
and M. O. Feudner were appointed to draft certain
proposed changes in "the by-laws.

The program of seven monthly live bird shoots for
this season will be announced possibly next week.
The shooters will each be given an arbitrary distance
handicap to be determined by each individual score
made at the first club shoot. This shoot will take
place on the first Sunday in March at Ingleside.

Golden Gate Gun Club.

Charles Parker.

At the ripe age of ninety-three years, after a long
and honorable business career and life of activity and
useiulness Charles Parker passed away at Meriden,
Conn., on January 31st. Mr. Parker was the founder
of the Parker Brothers Gun Company as well as a
number of other leading manufacturing interests in
the city of Meriden.

In 1877 the several industries which Mr. Parker con-
trolled were to a certain extent combined and the

r

Local trap shooters have felt for some time past
that a change from the old routine would be boneficial
to ail concerned. This sentiment gradually gained
strength until the belief became general among shoot-
ers that an amalgamation of the several gun club3
would be an easy solution of the question, thus placing
the sport of local trap shooting in a favorable position
for a good following this season and further giving it
a healthy impetus for some time to come.

In this respect action was taken at meetings of the
Lincoln, Olympic and San Francisco Gun Clubs and
committees of three appointed respectively from the
above clubs. These committees met on Tuesday eve-
ning last at the offices of Mr. A. M. Shields.

Among those present were Dr. S. C. Knowles and A.
M. Shields representing the Olympic Gun Club; E. L.
Forster and Jules Bruns, Lincoln Gun Club, and Clar-
ence A. Haight, Jos. J. Sweeney and George H. T.
Jackson, San Francisco Gun Club. Dr. Knowles pre-
sided in the chair, Mr. Shields officiating as secretary.
Phil H. Bekeart, of the Lincoln Gun Club, was aDsent
in Portland, Chas. H. Shaw, the third representative
of the Olympic Club, was also absent.

The delegates from each club, in short ord er, declared
the sentiment of their organization to be in favor of a
consolidation of clubs.

Mr. Shields advocated the adoption of a plan whereby
- a member of the new club could shoot either blue
rocks, live birds, or both, as he should elect, paying
monthly due3 upon a schedule arranged accordingly.
This plan, while it had several adherents, was finally
rejected, all the members of the committee present
speaking at length upon the subject.

The committee finally unanimously agreed that there
should be no distinction in the membership and that
members could shoot at either targets or blue rocks,
or both, as they chose, paying dues of $1.00 per month
throughout the year.

The name selected for the new club, upon motion of
Mr. Sweeney, was the Golden Gate Gun Club.

Messrs. Sweeney, chairman, Forster and Haight
were appointed a committee to draft a constitution and
by-laws, the same to be submitted at a called and gen-
eral meeting of the three gun clubs last evening.

Such in brief is the outline of what promises to
change materially the present status of the sport in
this city. Too many clubs and consequently confusion
in dates and interests have hampered the game until
the time is ripe for radical change. Some shooters
have been members in two or three or even more gun
clubs; this has been a draft on purse, time and con-
venience that in some cases has resul ted in an abandon-
ment of the sport entirely. Under the new regime, it
is proposed to hold a live bird and a target shoot once
a month for six months, the outlook now being a very
favorable one for the coming season at trap shooting.

THE LATE CHARLES PARKER.

Charles Parker company or corporation formed in
Meriden so that Mr. Parker might be relieved of some
of the arduous duties. Besides the main Parker plant
between Elm and High streets, other concerns in which
he was the principal owner and which are controlled
by the Parker interests are: Parker Brothers, manu-
facturers of the celebrated Parker gun; the Meriden
Curtain Fixture company, the largest manufacturer of
shade rollers, curtains and fringes that there is in the
United States; the Parker Clock company, with fac-
tory situated about two miles west of the railroad
depot. The Parker company has manufactoi'ies at
East Meriden for making cabinet locks, tea, table and
basting spoons, and at Yaleville for making piano
stools, coffee mills and packing boxes.

For the past few years the burden of management
of the diverse industries has rested on William H.
Lyon, Mr. Parker's son-in-law, under whose able direc-
tion the plant in all departments has been most pros-
perous.

Mr. Parker's surviving children are Dexter W.
Parker and Mrs. W. H. Lyon. The grandchilden are
Miss Elsie Lyon, Mrs. J. F. Allen, Aldorman Wilbur
F. and L. C. Parker, and Chas. F. Breese.

Mr. Parker's success in life was owing to strict
economy and close application to business, he often
working fifteen hours a day, attending to his large
correspondence evenings. He was distinguished for
good sense, great industry, method in business, and
punctuality in all his engagements. He was the ideal
business man in his younger days and for many years
after others of less energetic character would have
given up all business affairs, he kept in thorough touch
with the many lines in which the immense Parker
company was engaged. In his death Meriden loses its
most distinguished citizen.

The passing away of Eugene L. DuPont on January
28th was a sad reminder to a host of friends and
acquaintances of the uncertainties of life.

Uusually in the bert of health, it was but a short
time previous that he was around as usual looking
after the interests of the company of which he was the
president, the E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. But
something over a week before his death he contracted
a severe cold, which finally developed into that dread
disease, pneumonia, and on Tuesday of last week, after
but a brief illness, he succumbed to it.

Mr. DuPont was born in 1840, and came of that old
and distinguished family of that name — a family which
has figured with much, distinction in the judiciary,
naval and army circles of our government. Through-
out his life he was deeply interested in the powder
business, and for the last ten or twelve years had been
the president of his company — a company that was
first formed by members of his family in 1802. He was
a man held in the highest esteem by all his business
acquaintances, but he was also of an exceedingly fine and
lovable character — a man of tremendous capacity for
business, and a man of large affairs, but essentially
conservative.

The funeral was held from the old manor house in
Wilmington, Del., on January 3lst, and was very
largely attended, there being representatives of the
army and navy, as well as many of those with whom
he had dealings in life.

Mr. DuPont is survived by his wife, two sons and
three daughters. The children are Alexis I. and
Eugene DuPont, Mrs. William C. Peyton, of California,
and Misses Amelia and Julia DuPont.

Chesapeake Bay Goose Hunting.

Goose hunting is now on in fairly good shape, the
methods employed hy our hunters are not entirely dis-
similar to those in vogue with Eastern sportsmen, save
that luckily for the comfort of Coast sportsmen the
rigors of winter are not as pronounced as with the
Eastern men. Geese are so plentiful here.it is rarely
indeed that it is found necessary to bait the birds. A
noted shooting ground is at Sharps island, Maryland,
a spot much frequented by Baltimore goose hunters
who prepare for a night's sport with the birds in the
following manner:

A blind in the form of a pit is made in the sand on
the shore near where the geese and swans are known
to rest and feed. White woolen blankets are spread
in and around the blind to make it comfortable, and
corn is strewn within thirty yards of it. After night-
fall the hunters hide themselves in the pit, strapping
up in white blankets which cannot be detected by the
water fowls from the white sand of the beach. Abso-
lute silence is maintained.

From far out in the bay comes the familiar "honk,
honk" of theincoming flock, and the hunters get down
low in the pit. The geese alight near the end ot the
beach, and soon are in shallow feeding water. The
"watch goose," which is always a gander, and which
never seems to eat or sleep, makes a reconnoissance in
advance of the flock and finds the corn. If, after a
close inspection of the surroundings, he is satisfied of
safety, he calls the flock, and it eagerly responds.
The geese, looming up in the night, look as' big as
ostriches from the bUnd. When within range the sig-
nal to fire is given in pantomime by the leader of the
hunters, and something happens when the big No. 8
guns boom.

Some geese are killed outright, others are wounded
so they cannot fly, and those unhurt take to instant
flight. As they rise another volley is poured into the
flock. The dead and wounded birds are retrieved by
trained Chesapeake Bay dogs, if the hunters have
them; otherwise by the hunters themselves, who rush
into the icy water, pursuing first the wounded fowls
and afterward picking up the dead ones. This ends
the shooting from that blind that night.

At times there is a cold, tiresome, all-night wait with
no results. No. 8 guns and the best ammunition are
ure used. The shells are loaded with six or seven
drams of powder and with from two to three ounces of
B. B. chilled shot.

Pigeons for Trap Shooting.

The methods by which birds intended to be used in
trap shooting are converted into strong fliers is given
by an Eastern correspondent. With the advent of
winter and the prospect of the first fall of snow the
trap 9hooting at live birds begins. Under the crisp
air and the strong breezes that usually prevail during
the season that Jack Frost is in evidence, the pigeons,
selected for the expert gunners, |fly faster than in
the warmer months. As soon as the autumn winds
turn the leaves to russet and gold the cultivation of
birds for the traps begins. Strong-flying birds are
harder propositions for the marksmen than less swift
pigeons, and in many a contest a good, muscular bird
has carried a load of shot beyond the boundary and
been returned as a "lost bird," where a pigeon with a
minimum of speed and endurance would be able to fly
but a few feet with a score of shot as an additional
weight to carry.

The system of exercising the birds so that they be-
come strong and muscular is ingenious. They are
trained to fly fast, the work occupying about a month,
and at tbeend of that time they areas strong as young
gulls. The system that is recognized as the best by
many trap shooters was introduced by Mr. Elliott, of
Kansas City, several years ago, and during the past
three seasons has been adopted in the East.

It consists of allowing the birds the freedom of a
large cage about 100 feet long.

Each morning and evening two men with long whips,
the lash being a strip of red flannel, enter the cage,
and by frightening the birds, compel them to fly con-
tinuously for an hour each season. This method gives
the birds the necessary exercise to make them strong
enough to be a baffling mark for the most expert
gunner.

Another method for making fast-flying birds that
is in vogue in many places on Long Island and in New
Jereey is to feed the- young pigeons in the morning,
and then drive them out into the open. They will fly
about until they become hungry, and again r6turn to
the place where the morning meal was given them.
In this manner the oirds are given the benefit of
natural flight in the open, and when finally crated and
shipoed to the various clubs have all the advantages
of wild pigeons in the matter of speedy flight.

The popularity of pigeon shooting from the trap is
such that great consignments of birds are shipped
each week during the heigh t of the season from the
We9t, as well as from the states of New Jersy,
Pennsylvania, and Maryland, and from roosts on
Long Island.

Slate-colored, or "blue" birds, as they are technically
termed, are sought most earnestly and 75 cents a pair
is the prevailing price for pigeons of that color that
are guaranteed to be last. Ordinary pigeon9 are sold
at 50 cents a pair, and as it is known that birds that
escape without being hit by the marksmen at the traps

return home at the earliest possible moment, it can be
seen that the breeder is easily ahead of the game, for
he is thus sometimes paid a number of times for the
same bird.

The moreimportant shooting grounds have as many
as 3000 birds on hand at a time in their sheds, or, more
properly, cages. The method of capturing them on
the day of a tournament is unique. Two or three of
the assistants of the principal trapper, armed with a
crate and an ordinary "scap"net that is known almost
exclusively as a weapon to capture crabs and other
denizens of the deep, enter the shed. The pigeons, in
alarm, fly from one end of the inclosure to another,
and are deftly snared in the net. A few quick twists
and the bird is 90 bewildered that he is plucked from
the meshes of the net and thrust in the crate ready to
be wheeled out to the firing point before he realizes
that he is a prisoner.

Bench Show Notes.

And who says things are not humming— but a bit of
good will, an ounce of enthusiasm and that "true
blue" fanciers spirit and this Coast will have the
largest circuit of bench shows this spring, ever held
anywhere and at any time in America.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

The use of greased shot, to obtain a closer pattern,
while giving good results in cylinder bore guns, iB not
advisable in these that are closely choked. There ig
a tendency in such charges to ball in the barrel, and
it sometimes chances that the choked portion of the
muzzle is blown completely off.

The Breeder and Sportsman is to-day in a
position to announce that Los Angeles will follow the
San Francisco show for which they have claimed the
dates of April 30th, May 1st, 2nd and 3rd. while
Sacramento will follow, with a bench show under the
auspices of the State Poultry and Kennel Club of
which Mr. Matt Coffey is the secretary and who is to
be joined in the management of the show by Wm.
Halley, 2517 K street, Sacramento.

The show i9 to be held in connection with the Street
Fair and Electric Carnival and a success seems assured
if one takes into consideration that at least 30,000
strangers will visit the Capital City during that week.

There is probably no more bitter controversy waged
among big game hunters than the relative meritg of
large vergug gmall bore ammnuition. For many years
the .45-calibre cartridge, carrying a bullet of 75 to 90
grains in weight, was considered the rifle ball for large
game, such as elk, moose and caribou. The smaller
bore cartridge, however, such as the .236, the .3030
and .303, which are loaded with smokeless powder,
gives to a soft nose bullet a tremendous velocity, caus-
ing it to spread on striking the game and has found
favor with many shooters on the ground that the veloc-
ity not only puts the small bullet on the par of a large
one in regard to smashing power, but enables one to
make long shots without allowing for distance in sight-
ing. While this is an advantage, it has been claimed
by many, with good reason, that the tremendous range
of the high power, small calibre rifleg is such as to
render them dangerous for use in semi-populated dis-
stricts. The old large calibre would get the game all
right and any distance at which it was reasonable to
shoot, and the zone of danger is much less.

For shooting purposes for large game there is no
comparison between a single shot and a repeater. Not
only does the quickness of action of the latter allow
one to get in .a. second or third shot if necessary, but
the very fact that one has additional cartridges ready
for immediate use, gives the shooter a certain air of
confidence, which tends to steady his aim and makes
him more sure of being secure at his first attempt, and
there is so very little difference in the price between
the two that it is by all means advisable to choose the
repeater.

Fly-Casting Program, 1902.

The following schedule of fly-casting contests of the
San Francisco Fly-Casting Club to be held at Stow
lake this season, has been announced:
Contest, 1902. Saturday, 2:30 p. si. Sunt>ay, 10 A. m.

As to Los Angeles, matters are in the excellent hands
of Messrs. Mitchell, McFay, Eigholz and a score of
other gentlemen who formed the new Los Angeles
Kennel Club after the last bench show held under the
auspices of the 6th District Agricultural Association
on October last.

This brings the circuit now to six shows com-
mencing with Victoria the first week in April, Port-
land, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Sacra-
ment. The dates for the latter are claimed for May
13th to 16th, which leaves one open week between the
Los Angeles and Sacramento shows; what is the
matter with San Jose? Why not take that week and
thus close the circuit.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

There are any amount of splendid fanciers and good
dogs at the Garden City, and a most liberal support
of the San Francisco dogmen and a full entry of the
dogs on the circuit is certain.

There are now negotiations on foot between the
northern shows and San Francisco and Los Angeles
to share in the expenses of judges by wnich the fancy
as well as the showgiving clubs will profit.

It is not the intention to have the same men adjudi-
cate the same breeds at any of the shows but rather
to have a couple of all round men, divide the classes
between them and reverse same at some of the
following shows.

If this plan is followed out it will lend additional
interest to any one show and materially increase
entrieB.

Work at the offices of the San Francisco Kennel
Club at 138 Montgomery Street is in full swing and
Mr. Klein in charee is at his desk early and late.

Thousands of letters have already been sent out

soliciting the support of fellow fanciers east and west,
north and south, and every effort is being made to
get as large an array of special prizes as ever was
offered at any show.

Every Specialty Club in America has been written
to and no doubt they will liberally respond to t
appeal of the San Francisco Kennel Club.

Newmarket Queen is heavy in whelp to Ch. Wood-
cote Wonder.

Woodlawn Kennels' Warren Tattle was bred to Dic-
tator on the 12th and 14th insts.

Four Scotties that are said to be record breakers
were recently brought over from England by Geo. S.
Thomas.

Mr. W. W. Moore's Vina Belle whelped on the 11th
inst. the first Coast litter to Niola Daddy, two dogs
and four bitches, a good looking lot and mother and
puppies all doing well.

May Queen, a handsome St. Bernard bitch owned
by Mrs F. McGinley of Oakland died a week ago
from injuries received while swimming in Lake
Merritt. Queen was by California Alton out of Tomah
and a prize winner at the Oakland bench shows.

Mr. Irving C Ackerman returned from the East on
Wednesday. Besides Humberstone Bristles and
Maggie the Maid he also bought two unnamed wire
haired Fox Terrier bitches by Banknote. They were
left East to be bred to the famous Matchbox.

Mr. J. G. Morgan had the bad luck to lose two
Collie puppies last week. This was followed by the
killing of a promising little Fox Terrier puppy by
Daddy. Daddy has, since his advent at Mr. Morgan's
kennels, very much decreased the number of cats in
his neighborhood, when it comes to rats he is a
veritable little demon.

Legs and Feet, a bitch he purchased from Woodlawn
Kennels, was expected to whelp a Daddy lilter this
week.

Specials from individuals are coming in briskly and
everything points to a big success.

Mr. G. M. Carnochan will probably be seen in the
ring here, passing on the merits of Fox Terriers. Mr.
Carnochan has had quite a circuit experience in the

east.

The Victoria and Seattle Kennel Clubs have shown
a preference for Mr. James Mortimer to pass on the
northern dogs.

Pacific Coast Bulldog Club.

The nucleus of what promises to become a strong
specialty club has been started in the temporary
formation of a Bulldog Club. Organization has
been made with Morgan Sheppard, chairman pro
tern, L. A. Klein, secretary pro tern both of this city.
The gentlemen who are the projectors of the club are
the two aboved mentioned and James Ewins and J. P.
Eickholz of Los Angeles. The number of Bulldog
fanciers on the coast and in this city is far larger than
ordinarily supposed. Permanent organization of the
club will be perfected dnring show week in this city.

Further and complete information will cheerfully be
given to all fancier9 interested in this new specialty
club by Mr. L. A. Klein whose address is No. 138
Montgomery street this city.

Now that the Bulldog men have started the good
example of coming together for the betterment of
mutual interests in their particular fancy, why do not
the Boston Terrier, English Setter, and other fanciers
join band and organize specialty clubs?

Now is the time tor the dormant St. Bernard Club
to shake off its lethargy and come to the front. This
elu! was a strong one several years and its exhibit
a big f< aturo tt our bench shows.

The Pointer Club has now an opportunity to cease
hibernating and make a good showing, we have the
material here.

[February 15, 1902

The Scottish Terrier.

"Small, rough and whiskery, and of sandy hue

Though sometimes gray, and oft of dusky blue:

Clear, bright, inquisitive, sagacious eye,

Mustachiod lip, with brows deep shaded by:

Brave, hardy, vigilant, and ever gay,

First famed on Scotie's lofty hills they say.

Kills fox and weasel, skunk, raccoon and cat,

Rabbit or squirrel, hedgehog, mouse or rat:

Onward he rushes with impetuous ire,

His wiry pelt dares bramble, bush and briar.

Through matted brakes he threads his thorny way.

Digs in the earth or tempts the flood for prey;

Not swift of limb, the fleeter game to traee.

Of noxious vermin rids the house and store,

Inspects each corner, searches every floor;

When cunning Reynard pressed by boisterous hounds

Rushes to earth, and thus the pack confounds,

The valiant Scot assails him in his den;

All gore begrim'd, he drags him forth again:

His coarse exterior some may chance contemn,

Others his blunt expression may condemn,

Yet none his virtues ever dare deny.

His merits, rigid scrutiny defy.,T

The antecedents of the Scottish Terrier are shrouded
in mystery. They are claimed hy many to date back
to the Romans, a dog- answering to their description
having been prized by that nation. Others declare
them pre-historic, running their genealogy to a time
when man is indebted for his history to wandering
minstrels and ballad singers. But whether this be
true or not, Scotland has always prized her national
terrier

That the Scottish Terrier has taken a new lease on
life in the United States is evident to even the most
casual observer in dogdom. Indeed, there is a move-
ment in the interest of this old-fashioned breed that
approaches a "boom." The name, "Scotch Terrier,"
has been a synonym for "rat catcher" in America for
more than a eentury. This reputation is due to the un-
failing instinct antagonistic to vermin of all kinds, testi-
mony to which is borne in the preceding verse from
an old book entiled "Dogs Poetically Described,'' pub-
lished in New York over fifty years ago.

A life long breeder of the dog in Scotland, to whom
was sent this poetical panegyric, declared that it did
not exaggerate the merits of the intrepid little animal.

Of the different varieties of terriers connected with
Scotland not one has attained such rapid and appar-
ently permanent popularity as the hard-haired Scot-
tish "diehard,'' writes "Saint Giles." The author of
"Guy Mannering" has of course secured for the
" Dandie Dinmont" an undying fame, but of late years,
it must be admitted, this game. little "fechtin dug"
has fallen off in numbers, and this may safely be taken
as an unfailing sign of its being also out of fashion for
the time. The prick-eared and also the drop-eared
Skye Terriers are plentiful enough, and still continue
to hold a high place in the affections of the fair sex,
and this may also be said even to a greater extent of
their "silky" prototype, the Clydesdale or Paisley
Terrier. Quite recently an attempt was made in fash-
ionable circles in London to revive an old type of
Terrier belonging to the west of Scotland. Perhaps
it would be more truthful and as near the mark to
describe Ihe attempt as one to create a new type of
Terrier to be called the Roseneath Terrier. So far,
however, the effort has not met with a large measure
of success.

The popularity of the hard-haired Scottish Terrier
has been unchecked, and probably never was he in
greater request than at the present time. Tt was only
a few seasons ago, atthe annual show of the Kennel Club
held at the Crystal Palace, London, that the record
price for a "Scot" was established. This was at the
sale of a young dog just a year old, Clydeford Rebel,
belonging to Mr. J. N. Reynard, Cambuslang, to Mr.
J. F. Smith, Birmingham, for the sum of 150 guineas.
While this to many may seem a very large sum to pay
for a dog, it is a long way behind the price which sev-
eral other varieties of dogs have fetched. Thus the
champion wire-haired Fox Terrier "Go Bang," the
property of Mr. G. Raper of Sheffied, was sold for the
trifling consideration of S250O to Mr. G. M. Carnoehan,
owner of the Cairnsmuir Kennels, River-dale-on-Hud-
aon. This famous Terrier, we note incidentally, was
said by The Asiem, published in Calcutta, shortly
after the dog left England, as being in the kennels of a
notable Hindoo noblewoman who was an enthusiastic
Terrier fancier.

Compared with the prices paid for fashionably bred
and prize winning Scotch Collies, the "diehard" has
yet a lot of lee way to make up — as much as £1000
having been paid for "Ormskirk Emerald" by Mr. A.
H. Megson of Manchester. The recent offer of S3000
for the Pointer, King Cyrano, which was refused by
Mr. Morton, and the prices ior some Bulldogs and St.
Bernards in the last two or three years, are also high-
water mark prices. These varieties of dogs, however,
have been much longer before the public, and are bred
as near to perfection as is possible perhaps.

This cannot be claimed on behalf of the Scottish
Terrier, for it is only a matter of twenty-five years or

so since he was recognized at all as a distant breed.
About the year 1875, dog shows began to offer classes
for hard haired Scottish Terriers. Many of these
earlier exhibits were poor enough specimens, but they
proved the beginning of better, and at all events
served to set the heather on fire. Little by little the
popularity of the hardy little tyke became assured.
A club was formed in his interest, and a definite type
and standard were fixed upon and bred to with the
result that in a few years the Detter dogs at a leading
show were so much alike and so equal, that it required
the trained eye of a practical breeder or a skilled
specialist to arrange them in the order of merit.

But the Scottish Terrier of fifty years ago was
long-legged, shorter-headed, with a coat lighter colored
and more inclined to curl than the dog of to-day. The
American public of to-day understands by "Scotch
Terrier" a dog answering to this description, which is
more suggestive of the Irish than the Scottish Terrier.
Mr. G. Gordon Murray, in his first edition of "British
Dogs, " describes three strains of these Terriers accord-
ing to the location in which they were reared, all bred
and famed for their gameness and working qualities,
and differing only in minor points. These strains were
known as the Mogstads, Drynock and Camusennaries.
With the advent of dog shows which have largely de-
veloped themselves in the last quarter of a century,
this standard of physical points has been established
for the Scot, as for all other breeds, and the Scot of
to-day is bred now to one distinct type. He has been
much improved in appearance, while there has been
preserved all the qualities of disposition that have
made him, for many years, the most popular Terrier
in Scotland, and, excepting one, the most popular all
over Great Britain. At every show he is one of the
foremost in numbers of all breeds, and for a long time
it has seemed strange that a dog so popular across
the water should hot be more largely represented in
this country. Some good ones were brought over
about ten years ago, but they never seemed to catch
on to any great extent with the professional fanciers.

In former days these dogs were used mostly in the
Islands of the Western Highlands by the "tod hunters"
or "fox hunters" in their labors in destroying the
foxes which abounded and did so much damage to the
farmer. These "hunters" as they were termed, each
kept a number of Terriers, perhaps a dozen or more,
and they worked them in batches of six or eight.
Varied and wonderful^are the stories and legends still
to be heard in the Highlands of the deeds of prowess
of some dead hero of a hundred fights. How Shulach
found the great dog fox in his cairn and fought a grim
battle with him for twelve hours, and when the men
dug out the heavy stones found both dead having
killed each other. How Bran swam and dived after
the otter in the hili burn of Cairn Cen and stood in the
water for hours when the snow lay several inches on
the plain, and how she eventually slew the otter, get-
ting terribly mangled for her pluck! How Bodach
tackled the wild cat away up the lone Glen Cray and
lived for years after, the blind victim of his too keen
bravery !

But whether these stories are to be wholly believed
or are to be taken — some portions of them at least, cum
grano salis, there is no reason to doubt the extra-
ordinary gameness of there cairn Terriers. Not only
is there nothing of the coward about them, but they
are wonderfully tenacious and persevering and take
their punishment without unnecessary grumbling.
Of course, these heroic and sanguinary avocations are
for the most part a thing of the past, and the Scottish
Terrier of the present day must content himself with
the plebian and somewhat prosaic role of rat killing,
unless he is allowed the occasional luxury of going for
a neighbor's cat. Yet they have heart enough and the
standard of breeding to day combines all the attributes
of a working Terrier just as much (and, as a matter of
fact, a great deal more) as these were considered by
the fox hunter of the Western Highlands thirty or
forty years ago. So long as breeders keep in view
the right type of Terrier and do not exaggerate one
characteristic at the expense of another or sacrifice
utility points for those which please the eye, so long
may it be expected that the Scottish Terrier will re-
tain its present popular fovor.

An illustration of the faithfulness and affection of
the Scot for his master occurred not so long ago and
has been written up in the British papers. Miss
M'lBroy. of Pitlochrie, died and left a Scotch Terrier
that was so attached to her that it refused to leave the
corpse, meanwhile showing evidence of the most pro-
found grief, of which it died the second day, and was
buried with its mistress.

During the last five years a number of new kennel
names have been registered with the A. K. C, and it
is said that more are projected. This may be at-
tributed to the impetus given the breed by Dr. Fayette
C. Ewing, who imported the sensational Edinburgh
winner, Champion Romany Ringlet, in whelp to
Heather Prince, the greatest producing sire in the

world. Later, the Doctor brought over, at great ex-
pense, the famous British winner Loyne Ginger, pro
nounced bv several eminent English judges "one of
the best Scottish Terrier bitches living." Ginger
came over in whelp to Champion Gair, the crack show
Scottie of the world. Dr. Ewing knows the merits of
the dog whose valor has earned for him among the
Scotchmen the sobriquet of "diehard," and he is an
enthusiast for his pets. He has labored in their be-
half with pen, and spent his money for them. Most of
these kennels were established through his influence,
and largely from stock imported by him. That he
should be willing to build up competitors around him
is good evidence of his unselfish interest in the breed.
Three of these Scotch Terrier kennels are in Missouri.
Dr. Ewing has purchased and imported a crack stud
dog and another bitch to add to his already exclusive
kennel. Let the good work go on, for the "Sorty Ter-
rier" has but to be known to be appreciated. In the
words of the antique poem, "His merits rigid scrutiny
defy."

A work issued about four years ago by Mr. James
Robertson, of Leeds, entitled "Historical Sketches of
the Scottish Terrier," has met the approval of the
fancy. The author's main object in writing it has
been to popularize his old favorites, and to sketch as
clearly as possible their true type and characteristics.
That Mr. Robertson knows his subject thoroughly is
manifest. He has studied the animals for the past forty
years, and has had the benefit of information regard-
ing their points handed down to him for several gener-
ations in his own family.

He divides his work into two parts. Part I deals
with Prse Dog Show Days, and Part II with Dog Show
Days.

In the beginning he describes the Scottish Terrier
as he was found in Fifeshire. They were small, about
12 lbs., and were mostly used for killing rats, ferreting
rabbits, or bunting the badger or fox. In color they
were principally wheaten or sandy; nor were they all
hard-haired. Their pluck and stamina were all that
could be desired.

Extracts from newspapers and books bearing upon
his subject are numerous. A sentence or two from
one of these explains the meaning of the word Terrier:
"If he could kill rats, draw a badger, and face a cat
without flinching he was termed a Terrier; if not, he
was a guid-for-nothing, useless brute."

Io Part II the author shows the difficulty there was
in getting classes for Scottish Terriers, and the still
greater difficulty in defining the points of a real "die-
hard." He claims that the brindle bitch Scalpalaid the
foundation of the present race of show dogs, as direct
descendants of hers are to be found io the kennels of
the principal breeders of this variety. Great size is
his pet aversion, nor is he a lover of bat ears. He is
also convinced that the modern Scot is the production
of British dog shows. His critics are at one with him
on these points, as well as whea he says that "The
so-called Skye, Scotch, Otter, Highland, Cairn, Die-
hard Aberdeen and Poltaloch Terriers are simply a
concentration of the Scottish Terrier."

The standards of the Scottish Terrier Clubs are set
forth at length, and form a fitting conclusion to the
book.

The numerous fine half-tone photo illustrations of
old and modern specimens of the breed, printed on the
finest paper, form the outstanding feature of the book,
and one which is bound to be highly appreciated by
all who become its possessor.

A typical Scot should have a powerful head showing
weakness nowhere, but specially strong in jaw, a level
mouth and sound, large teeth; dark colored eyes, not
round but almond shaped, and set into the skull
obliquely: heavy eyebrows: ears small, sharp pointed
and carried tight up; neck thick and muscular, well
set into shoulders but not arched in any way; shoul-
ders well sloped, chest broad and deep; body compact,
of moderate length, not too long nor too short; level
back, ribs flat, strong, powerful limbs and hindquar-
ters; legs well boned, forelegs straight or tolerably so,
thighs muscular, hocks bent, feet strong, thick and
hard, well-covered with hair; toe-nails jet black: tail
should be about 7 inches in length, and not carried too
gaily but just gay enough. The coat of a Scottish
Terrier should be as hard and harsh as possible, never
erring in this extreme, but frequently almost disquali-
fying in the opposite or tendency to softness, and
should be dense and plentiful all over. The size, for
a dog. should be about 16 to 19 pounds, and for the
opposite sex a pound or so less.. Color is quite a mat-
ter of fancy — black, black and red brindle, steel and
wheaten have each admirers. White marks are reck
oned objectionable and only a small patch is par-
doned. In general appearance a Scottish Terrier
should present a sharp, eager, active appearance,
with all faculties, a keen Terrier outlook, lissom in
muscle, well knit together in body and generally a
clean, clever and well-balanced dog. In manners and
disposition the Scottish Terrier will be found to make
a desirable companion and house dog. He needs little
attention and speaking generally is of a hardy consti-
tution. He is game without being quarrelsome, but
when occasion requires it he may usually be depended
upon to hold his own with most other dogs of his
weight. At learning tricks he becomes an apt pupil,
and when out for a stroll in town or country he always
makes an intelligent and lightsome pal.

Hints on Kenneling.

1;Any place is good enough for a dog, " is a venerable
aphorism easy of quotation, and capable of frequent
application by those uninitiated in the management of
dogs; but it is nevertheless wholly without foundation
in fact, as those who have attempted to kennel valu-
able stock in unfitting quarters have discovered to
their cost. There are many breeds which are totally
unadapted for confinement in towns — at all events in
numbers exceeding one or two. Dogs are not like
poultry and pigeons, pets whose natural tendencies can
be rendered subservient to the will and desire of their
masters. No amount of artificial feeding and attention
can, in the ease of many varieties, adequately supply
the want of unlimited exercise, which is especially
essential in thecaseof growing puppies, whoseeventual
success on the show bench or in the field will greatly
depend upon the development of bone and muscle, and
the symmetry of a clean and weli proportioned body.

In all breeds, the more exercise obtained, the better
it is for the dog, but in the ease of certain varieties,
especially ladies' toy dogs, free exercise is not the
absolute necessity which renders the successful breed-
ing of the larger varieties an impossibility in crowded
neighborhoods. It is not for one moment to be denied
or doubted that excellent specimens have been born
and bred in the hearts of great cities, but these must
be regarded as simply the rare exceptions which make
manifest the rule. Nothing but the strictest attention
to cleanliness can possibly be looked to as a means of
successfully combating the diseases which are for ever
lurking in the precints of crowded kennels, and it is
well nigh hopeless to expect dogs to be clean either in
person or habits, where a sufficient amount of exercise
is denied them. As an instance, one of the largest
and most experienced breeders of the larger breeds of
dogs in this city, not long since had his entire kennel
of puppies and young dogs swept off within the space
of a few days. On inquiring into the cause of this
calamity, it developed that the disease had the ap-
pearance of typhoid fever, which was not surprising to
hear to anyone having a recollection of the state of the
kennels on a previous visit to them.

All dogs, but more especially puppies, suffer more or
less from being chained up. Not only does the
collar almost invariably leave an unsightly ring
in the hair on the neck, and thereby considerably
affect the dog's beauty, but the frequent struggling at
the chain drags the shoulders out of all shape, and
affects the proper development of that part of the
body. Anyone, therefore, who wishes to rear fine
animals, but more particularly if he proposes to gain
repuation as a successful breeder or exhibitor of canine
stock should, before embarking on such an enterprise,
well consider the means at his disposal for comfortably,
and at the same time economically housing the dogs,
by whose instrumentality he trusts to arrive at the
desired goal. The word economically in the last sen-
tence is to be used advisedly, for any person who starts
by investing a large sum of money in elaborate kennels
is doing what all practical people will consider a very
rash action. Many a young beginner in dog breeding
has retired in disgust from some disappointment or
other circumstance, just at the moment when, had he
persevered, victory was within his grasp; what use,
then, is the elaborate range of kennels which he has
erected? The stock can be sold, perhaps, at a profit
or without much loss, but the outlay upon the build-
ings can never be recouped; and thedisgust with which
the owner contemplates his ill success is heightened by

the loss entailed.

•

BARKS.

Kindness should be the unfailing rule in training a
dog to do tricks or otherwise. Striking hard and in-
discrimately will do no good, and hitting over the
head, it must be remembered, has the same effect on
a dog as on a boy. The brain is apt to be affected,
and ear affections are often traceable to this cause. A_
gentle tap will do more good, and he will more willing-
ly obey your commands than by lashing, kicking or
abusing him, which hare only the effect of making
him become cowed and unfit for any purpose. Teach
him one thing at a time, and be sure that he knows it
well before you start him on another. A little piece
of meat after he has done your bidding will do a great
deal more good than the whip. He will get so he will
like to do it for you, and will not start at it as though
his life depended upon it. It dosen't look well to see
a dog obey a command in a sneaking manner. It takes
half the intelligence from a trick. Have your
patience, and above all do not lose your temper for a
moment, or you may entirely ruin your dog.

In the north of England, where rabbit-coursing is
much in vogue, swift, well-trained dogs often win large
sums in prizes. It is, therefore, little to be wondered
at that the owners of these animals should bestow so
much attention upon them.

An old Yorkshire miner, well known for his success
in the coursing field, recentlv surprised all his mates
by marrying a very unprepossessing woman. He had
always been reckoned a confirmed hater of the other
sex.

"Why has ta gone and got spliced, lad, at thy age?"
one of his friends asked him.

"Oh, that's not much of a tale, " answered the old
man, stolidly. "I agree wi'ye at Betsy yonder is do
beauty — if she had been I shouldn't have wed her.
But there dog o' mine, he was simply pinin' for some-
body to look after him while I was away at t' pit. I
couldn't bear to leave him in the house by hlssen, so I
hit on the idea o' marryin' Betsy. She's not hand-
some, but she's mighty good company for the dog!"

General GordOD 's old dog, Wang, which was brought
by him from China jnst before he proceeded to Khar-
toum, is still alive. The dog is at present at the Gordon
Boys' Orphanage, at Dover, having been placed there
by Maj. Seel, to whom it was given by Gordon's rela-
tives. When Gordon was recalled from China to go
to Khartoum, about fourteen years ago, he brought
three of the rare black Chow puppies back with him,
of which Wang is one. Wang is the only one of the
three dogs still alive, and is very deaf and lame.

A remarkable instance of the homing instinct of the
Terrier is reported by a Lincolnshire correspondent.
A Scotch Terrier was seDt by rail from Frieston, on
the Wash, to Bourne, a distance of forty miles. The
animal was taken to a village three miles distant,
where it remained over three weeks, On Saturday
night it was missed, and on Tuesday information
was received that it had reached its old home at
Frieston safe and fresh. The animal had traveresed
the entire breadth of the Lincolnshire Fens, across a
maze of dykes and drains.

Dogs that are called upon to do a lot of road exercise
or to work for hours at a stretch in a field, are particu-
larly liable to suffer from sore feet. Whippets, Grey-
hounds, and all dogs used with the gun, are frequently
thus troubled. Usually, however, rest and the appli-
cation of a simple remedy soon effect a cure, though
there are stubborn cases, in which the dog is incapaci-
tated from work for a considerable time. In ordinary
cases^the feet become inflamed and the pads are very
hot and tender to the touch, causing much pain in
fact. Bathing the feet in hot water and the applica-
tion of a bread poultice quickly reduces the inflamma-
tion, and then a little witch hazel usually completes
the cure. Sometimes, however, pus forms and when
this is the case a lancet must be introduced and the
feet enveloped in one of the simple poultices above
recommended and the wound kept open until all the
objectionable matter is discharged Dogs, however,
have a rooted objection to poultices, and if they are
not prevented from doing so will soon rid themselves
of the bandage.

The Rushing, Roaring "Zig-Zag."

[J. SIATSE BALTIMORE.]

Away up somewhere amidst the wildly tossed mount-
ains which form the western base of Mount Hood, the
Cascades in Oregon, a very small stream finds its
cradle.

Just where this little water course rises, is unknown,
That exact spot is like the ancient grave of Moses —
"no man knoweth.''

It may be seriously questioned if, indeed, the foot of
the white man has ever trod those regions of huge up-
heavals, which are rent with yawning canyons, thickly
studded with vast, beetling cliffs and clothed with
dense and solemn forests.

Out from this labyrinth of mountains, rushes the
stream mentioned. It is first seen a short distance
north of the famous "Government Camp," which is
located some eight miles below the summit of the great
Cascade Range, on the "old Barlow Emigrant Road."

Of the general character of the stream prior to
where it first comes to view, nothing is known. But
from that point down to where it plunges headlong
into the milky waters of the Sandy river, its course
may be compared to a corkscrew, or, still better, to
the old rail "worm fence." Crooked ! It is one of the
most winding, twisting, tortuous stream on the Pacific
Coast.

For this reason the early pioneers appropriately
called the stream "The Zig-Zag." If ever any water-
course deserved its name, that one certainly does.
The name has never been changed. Nature had evi-
dently beset this stream in its infancy with all sorts of
insurmountable barriers, out from, and around which,
it had to literally "wriggle.'.'

From where the famous Zig-Zag burst forth from
its mountain environments to where it literally leaps
into the Sandy, it never flows in a straight course for
one hundred yards. It is not to exceed twelve miles
from where first seen, to the point of confluence, yet
the actual descent must be nearly 3000 feet. Some
idea may be formed of the swiftness of the stream. It
is always fittingly known as the "roaring" Zig-Zag.
At the widest place the stream does not exceed eighty
feet; but at a great many points it narrows down to
twenty feet. This is where the base of the overshadow-
ing hills crowd down abruptly upon the banks.

As a general thing the Zig-Zag is not a deep stream.
There are points where it is very deep. Swiftness is
the one predominating characteristic of the steam: yet
that expression does not properly describe the Zig-Zag.
From source to mouth it is a wild, mad, furious tor-
rent. Seen at its mildest stages — when low — it seems
like aD angry, noisy demon; when swollen by melting
snows or heavy rain storms, the stream assumes a
magnitude and power that is almost appalling. Giant
trees and logs are borne along the resistless current or
tossed about like mere feathers. Even huge rocks
cannot withstand the power of the rushing floods. At
such stages, the roar of the Zig-Zag may be heard for
a long distance.

The channel is a mass of what were originally rough
fragments of volcanic rock. Centuries of exposure to
the violent action of the water have rounded and
smoothed their ragged surfaces.

Singular as it may appear, there are but very few
falls or cascades along the course of the stream; but,
the descent is so sharp that there is one continual
rapid. The stream goes plunging along over its rugged
boulder bed at a pace that makes one's head fairly
swim.

********

And now, the most important question ! Is the Zig-
Zag a good stream for fish?

Yes, at certain seasons.

Those seasons are very early in the spring before the
snows begin to dissolve, and after the high stage sub-
sides. From the first of March to the first of May
and from the first of July to the middle of August are
the proper times for casting the fly.

There are no deep, circling eddies along the Zig-Zag,
like so many other streams. The waters are in too
great a hurry for that. There is not a moment for
rest — not for an instant does the stream pause for a
breath. Nothing but mad rush and ceaseless roar.

The banks are not very thickly beset with timber
and brush, so the angler has a good opportunity to
work his way up and down, in innumerable rocks
just out into the stream, around which the waters boil
and foam. Here is where the "Knight of the bamboo"
gets in his fine work.

At the proper season the "rainbows" are thick as
leaves; and they will snap at a fly on sight. I have
seen scores of trout from ten to fourteen inches long
pulled out of the Zig-Zag — some of the most beautiful
fish I have ever seen.

The Zig-Zag may be fished from the mouth up to a
point opposite the famous "Laurel Hill" — a distance of
fiv6 or six miles. Above Laurel Hill the lofty mountains
shut down close upon the stream, and the banks be-
come precipitous bluffs. The waters are crystalline in
their purity, and come directly from the eternal
glaciers around the base of Mount Hood.

There are several small tributaries to the Zig-Zag.
Still creek is the largest, and comes in a short distance
above the mouth of the former. As its name implies
it is the very opposite of the parent stream. Still
creek is about thirty feet wide, and is as quiet and
meek as a mouse. It flows silently in unbroken tran-
quility over a smooth bed of white sand and small
pabbles. The waters are ice cold and clear. It affords
splendid fishing at certain seasons.

Just opposite the mouth of Still creek is located the
Toll House on the old Barlow Road. During the
spring and summer months a great many "outers"
come up from Portland and other points in the Will-
amette valley, and spend days at the Toll House, whip-
ping the waters of the Zig-Zag and Still creek.

From the Toll House down to the Sandy is only a
short walk. This is a large and very turbulent water
course. It heads at the base of a vast glacier on the
west side of Mount Hood. For this reason the waters,
during the low stage, resemble diluted milk. Many
fine trout are caught in the Sandy; though anglers
generally prefer the smaller mountain torrents.

Sixteen miles further up the Barlow Road is located,
the Summit House. Here one finds himself in the
heart of the colcssal Cascade range — on the very
backbone of that vast mountain chain. The elevation
is about -J000 feet above sea level. Near the Summit
House are situated Summit lakes. They are very deep
and have no visible inlet or outlet. At certain seasons
these little tarns afford good trouting.

On the way up to Government Camp a magnificent
view is obtained of the Zig-Zag. By the way, it is the
last glimpse caught of that mad torrent; for, beyond
that point, it is lost in the towering mountains. Oppo-
site Laurel Hill the road passes very close to the brink
of a dizzy cliff. Looking over the sharp escarpment
the Zig-Zag may be seen hundreds of feet below
through breaks in the dense forests. It plunges on-
ward and downward with foaming impetuosity, while
its sullen roar is as ceaseless as that of Niagara.

Fight Between a Mountain Lion and a Bull
Terrier.

A story comes from Santa Barbara that is a splendid
testimonial to the game qualities of a handsome and
courageous Bull Terrier bitch called Nellie, which was
owned by Sheriff Stewart, of Santa Barbara county.
The faithful dog was killed in an unequal combat,
early one morning last week, with a California lioness,
and the contest in which she was killed lasted for over
half an hour. The fight took place in Doty canyon,
about seventeen miles west of Santa Barbara.

The good bitch was in the care of a Scotchman
named Rutherford, a rancher on the Rincon, near
Doty canyon. He had gone into the bills after wood
and* was out over night. The bitch was* with him.
Early in the morning he heard the noise of a fight
above his impromptu camp. Thinning his dog had
tackled some sort of wild animal he hurried to the
scene and found Nellie in an unequal struggle with the
lioness. The dog had chewed one of the big cat's
forelegs almost off, but the lioness had worked with
savage fury and had torn the dog almost open. Nellie
died of her wounds before the lioness could be driven
off.

Rutherford has expressed his intention of avenging
the dog and started out the next day on a hunt for
the lioness back of the canyon. He says the fight
lasted fully half an hour before he reached the place
of the contest.

THE FARM.

<#*>

The Farm Horse.

My mind has changed very materially
on this question. I was educated to think
that horses bad passed their best useful-
ness at ten years. I say now that the last
half of a horse's life is worth more than
the first half. That is, if a horse lives to
be twenty years old, bis services from ten
to twenty will be of more value to the
farmer than from birth to ten. I speak
from the standpoint of horses that work
hard nearly every day and are driven by
hired men. Horses in early life are more
nervy and active, but they cannot, if they
have not previously been innured, stand
aB much feed and strain as the more ma-
ture animals. Then again, farm work is
of such a nature that much time is saved
if the horses will stand at the door or any-
where for a moment without hitching.
We are keeping these horses as long as
they will be useful, and then giving them
a decent burial. We have one at the pres-
ent time twenty-two years old, which will
be given his long rest before this is printed. I
He could not be bought— faithful old fel-
low—he shall not have abuse. I bought ,
a pair of horses a few days ago; one of
them has galls and collar bunches. When
looking at the collars it was all explained ;
dirty collars. A few minutes each day I
will keep them clean, and then with a :
hard, smooth collar— the harder the bet-
ter-few breasts will get sore. The cheap
"sweats" which are sold and used so gen-
erally in our section are a curse to horses.
They get wet from rain or perspiration,
and then, like a wet glove, make a sore.
I have cured sore neck and breasts with a
new collar of the best quality without
ointments. A noble animal is the horse,
but some farm horses are shamefully
treated, not only from poor driving and
sometimes light feed, but from ill-fitting
harness. Have the collar to fit close to
the neck. If too large, cut it down. — H.
E. Cook in Rural JS'ew Yorker.

for violations of the act are a fine of not

Bection relating to the inspection and

That the Secretary of Agriculture is
hereby authorized and required to cause a
rigid sanitary inspection to Be made from
time to time"and at such times as he may
deem necessary of all factories and store-
houses where butter is renovated; and all
butter renovated at such places shall be
carefullv inspected in the same manner
and to the same extent and purpose that
meat products are now inspected. The
quantity and quality of butter renovated
shall be reported monthly. All renovated
butter shall be designated as such by
marks, brands and labels and the words
"renovated butter" shall be printed on all
packages thereof, in such manner as may
be prescribed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture and shall be sold only as renovated
butter. No renovated butter shall be
shipped or transported from one State to
another or to foreign countries unless in-
spected as provided in this section.

According to Harper's Weekly title to
sixtv per cent of the lands in seventeen
Wes'tern States still lies in the National
Government. Theoretically there are yet
600,000,000 acres of land in these StateB
that are subject to entry under the land
laws, but it is stated that not more than
1,000,000 of these might possibly be home-
steaded with any hope of the family
making a living or not being driven out
by some powerful interest. Some statistics
given show very plainly how completely
the owners or controllers of water frontage
are in possession of the ground owned by
Uncle Sam.

Every farmer ought to have a good
grindstone, and keep it in the shade.
When a grindstone stands exposed to the
sun it hardens on the upper side and soon
becomes irregular in shape, making it im-
possible to do smooth grinding. Allowing
the upper Bide of the stone to stand in
water softens it and so causes it to wear
faster — keep the stone in the shade and
keep it dry.

QUINNS OINTMENT

FOR HORSES

stands at the head of all veterinary remedies. Such troubles
as Spavins, Curbs, Windpuffs, Splints, Bunches have no
terrors for a horse if the master keeps and applies Quinn's Ointment. All
p well known horsemen speak of it in the highest terms :

Miller A Sibley of Franklin, Pa., owners of St. Eel, brother of late Bel Boy, write, "We have
used Quicn's Ointment with great success and believe it ful tills all claimed for it. We cheer-
fully recommend it to oar friends." For Ourbe, Splinte, Spavins or Bunches it has no equal.

132,000 Deaths from
this alone.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright's Disep -e.
Posted clubmen understand this so w M
that many have tests made every fe
months Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and Diabeies are increas-
ing at a fearful rate. The last census re-
ports show that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United Slates alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132.000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing thisone fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curable in about 87% of all cases. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

makes the following1 statement in his recent book,
"Art of Revolver Shooting-."

The U. M. C. Co., U. S. A., have supplied me with large quantities of .44
gallery ammunition loaded with both round and semi-round bullets.

These have a small charge of black powder, and I should prefer this
ammunition for self-defense as well as for competition up to 20 yards, as I
find it the most accurate for exhibition shooting-.

I think the XJ. M. C. gives slightly less recoil and fewer "unaccount-
ables" than the English equivalent.

They also load these cartridges with smokeless powder, which I have used and
with which I have made my bests on record in the rapid fire competition.

Send for new U. M. C. illustrated catalogues for further information concerning these modern

Short Range or Gallery Cartridges, which are comiDg into wide use among

experts and others- Game Laws and Shooting Records Free.

A MISUNDERSTANDING has arisen among the
stallion owners of the Coast over the date of clos-
ing of the Special Harness Stallion Stake offered by
the California State Agricultural Society. During the
past week Secretary Jackson has received inquiries
from several owners asking for the date of closing,
saying that the mares bred to their horses will not all
foal for several weeks yet. Through some misreading
of the conditions of the stake these owners have con-
ceived the idea that entries of stallions could be made
at some date in the future, but that all foals
dropped after the stallion entry will be void. It is
very unfortunate that such a misunderstanding should
have arisen, and Secretary Jackson has asked per-
mission of the Board of Directors of the State Agri-
cultural Society to extend the date of closing until
March loth. For the original date of closing, February
15th, there were 36 stallions entered, but owing to the
fact that so many have misunderstood the date, and
that an extension of the time will make the stake much
more valuable and satisfactory, the Secretary thinks
there would be no objection to such extension and has
asked the permission to make it. Were the plan of
this stake not an entirely new one in harness colt
stakes, there would be no occasion for the postpone-
ment, but as it is a new and novel plan, that has for
some reason failed to be thoroughly understood by
many of the horsemen, it would be best for all con-
cerned if the time were extended one month that all
the entries possible may be secured. The time of
advertising was entirely too short for a new stake and
it is surprising to some that as many as thirty-six
stallions were named. We hope none of those who
have named their horses will object to the extension
of the date of closing, as the value of the stake will be
greatly increased by additional entries and therefore
benefit all concerned.

ROBERT B. MILROY, Secretary of the California
Jockey Club for so many years, and the best
known turfmen on the Pacific Coast, died at St. Luke's
Hospital in this city on Tuesday last. His death was
unexpected and the announcement a shock to his
friends and acquaintances. On February 1st Mr.

Milroy slipped while boarding a Market street car in
front of the Palace Hotel, fracturing one of the bones
of the leg and receiving a severe contusion on the back
of his head. He was taken to St. Luke's Hospital
where the fractured bone was set and healed rapidly.
So rapid was Mr. Milroy's recovery that on Tuesday
last his family decided to remove him to his home, the
surgeons consenting to the removal. His injured leg
was being placed in a plaster cast to prevent any pos-
sible injury on the trip, and while sitting up in bed he
suddenly fell back unconscious and expired within a
few minutes. His wife and daughter were at his side
at the time, and the shock was a severe and sudden
one to them. "Bob" Milroy, as he was affectionately
called by thousands who had business dealings with
him, was born in Logan county, Ohio, and served dur-

ing the Civil War with the First Ohio Volunteers. He
came to California in 1868, and entered the employ of
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, resigning a
lucrative position with that corporation to engage in
the livery business in this city and conducted the well
known Nevada Stables on Market street. Twelve
years ago he was elected Secretary of the Pacific Coast
Blood Horse Association and when that organization
was merged with the California Jockey Club he became
the Secretary of the new racing club. Mr. Milroy
was one of the best accountants in the city and he
filled his position with marked ability. He at one time
was interested in harness horses and campaigned sev-
eral trotters and pacers on the California circuit. He
was a painstaking and accurate man of business, and
a genial, whole souled friend. His death will be sin-
cerely mourned by thousands who knew him and who
will sympathize deeply with his family in their bereave-
ment. Besides the widow, four grown children survive
him, Gertrude, Frances, David and William. William
Milroy of the Southern Pacific Company is a brother
of the deceased and one brother resides in Ohio. His
funeral took place Thursday, and on that day the
California Jockey Club's track was closed in respect
to his memory.

PENNSYLVANIA HORSEMEN are trying to have
a bill passed by the legislature of their State that
will permit booking on races. If they would unite in an
effort to pass a law that would permit auction pools
and mutuals to be sold on races and at the same time
keep out the books, they would be following a wiser
course. The present stringent Pennsylvania law which
prohibits all public betting on races was passed to
meet a popular demand. It was the result of a crusade
against the merry-go-round running tracks where the
betting was entirely in the hands of bookmakers, and
met with popular approval when it became a law.
Now the trotting tracks and county fairs are baned
from having any betting and in their endeavor to have
the law amended are including bookmaking in the
system asked for. Harness horse people should never
allow themselves to endorse bookmaking on harness
events in any way, shape or form. The system does
not fit harness racing, but degrades it wherever
followed. The Pennsylvania harness horsemen will
rue the day they worked to have bookmaking legalized
if they should succeed in getting1 the new law passed.

THE KINGS COUNTY FAIR, to be held at Seattle,
Washington this fall, advertises a list of stakes
in our columns this week that will attract a big list
of entries. There are two stakes of SI, 000 each, one
for 2:16 pacers, the other for 2:30 trotters. Two
stakes of $500 each are for three year olds, and two of
$300 each for two year olds. For the runners there is
the Seattle Derby of $1000, one and a quarter miles,
the Ladies' Plate, $600 for two year olds, five furlongs,
and a selling stake and a handicap for which $600

is offered on each instance. The $1,000 stake for 2:16
pacers is really a $1,300 stake as an additional $300 is
to be given as a consolation purse for the horses that
fail to win money in the main stake. The Kings
County Fair Association will strive to make their
meeting this year the best ever held in the northwest
and its dates, August 18th to 28th, will open the North
Pacific Fair circuit. Mr. A. T. Van DeVanter is
Secretary and Manager of this association and is well
and favorably known to the horsemen of this coast.

pOXIC, one of the light weighted ones, won the
^— ' $10,000 Burns Handicap last Saturday at the odds
of 10 to 1. Before the race the weights were said to
be as well allotted as possible: after the race was over
losers all over the betting ring were howliog that
Eonic was "thrown in" and should havecarried pounds
more. At the weights Eonic was the be3t horse in the
race and the weights seemed fair to all but the losers.
It would take about seven such racers as Eonic to
bring at auction the sum won by this mare in the
Burns. She is by Eon out of Mermaid by St. Blaise
and is owned by Caesar Young. It is unfortunate that
a rich stake like the Burns should fail to attract a lot
of high class horses, but as long as it is run at a time
when deep mud will likely be the condition of the
track, it will continue to be contested for by a rather
ordinary field.

Educator by Director 2:17.

The handsome black stallion Educator, owned by
Mr. M. Henry of Haywards is having a number of
well bred mares booked to him this year, and it will
not be long until his standard list will start and grow
fast. But very few mares of standard breeding were
ever mated with him until last season, but his get have
a reputation for style and beauty that extends all over
Alameda county. Whenever a trotting or pacing
mare has been mated with him the produce has shown
speed as soon as large enough to wear harness and
there are some from very ordinary mares that are
good prospects. Mr. Henry mated six mares with
Educator last year on his own account and all are with
foal. They are as follows:

Thera by Albion out of a mare by the thoroughbred
horse California Tenbroeck.

Elsie by Silver Bow, dam Addie S. by Stein way.

Juila, (dam of Emma Abbott 2:17|) by Rustic.

Hulda by Guide 2:16, dam Alice R. by Naubuc.

A mare by Pancoast 1439.

A mare by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16J.

These mares were either purchased or leased by Mr.
Henry that his horse might have an opportunity.

The mare Thera, by Albion, U a very fast mare and
showed some remarkable quarters and halves when
in training. Mr. Henry owns a very fast colt by his
horse out of Julia. The colt is now three years old
and will be trained. Hulda, by Guide 2:16o showed a
half mile in one minute at the pace over the Pleasan-
ton track, and the Pancoast mare paced a quarter in
30 seconds after thirty days training. The Nutwood
Wilkes mare is a fine individual, very speedy but was
never trained.

From these mares the first really well bred crop of
Educator's foals will come: Educator was himself
very fast, as the late T. E. Keating has testified and
there is no reason why he should not be in the Great
Table as soon as his get are raced. The oldest of
them are coming four. Educator will be in the pro-
cession at the Haywards horse show March Sth
together with a number of his colts. Those who
admire handsome horses should be there to look them
over.

Alexander Button 2:26 1-2 is Dead.

The well known trotting stallion and sire, Alexander
Button, died at the Woodard Farm, Yolo county, last
Sunday. He was twenty-five years old. Alexander
Button has made a lot of horse history in California.
He was quite a trotter as a colt and took his record of
2:26A at Sant-a Rosa in 1881. We believe Chas. Durfee,
owner of McKinney, drove him on this occasion by
request of the owner. ThelateGeo. Woodard, of Yolo
county, purchased Button and placed him at the head
of his stock farm. Although but few mares of choice
breeding were mated with the horse, bis produce be-
gan showing speed, and Yolo Maid 2:12, Tom Ryder
2:13$ and Margaret Worth 2:15 attracted much atten-
tion to him. He sired size and good looks and his colts
all had great vim and style, and the farmers of Yolo
patron zed him largely with the idea of securing good
roadsters. There are many of his descendants in that
part of the State, and the blood is highly valued. The
Button mares are producing well for their opportuni-
ties, among their produce being Tags 2:11 J. A son
of Button, Gen. Logan 2:23}, is the sire of Miss Logan
2:06A, that is in turn the dam of Harry Logan 2:12}.
Two" of his produce. Belle Button and Tom Ryder, in
1892 paced to a team record of 2:16A at Oakland, which
was a world's record at the time and was not lowered
until 1900. Alexander Button is the sire of fourteen
trotters and eight pacers with standard records and
there will be others of his get to enter the list, as he
was in the stud up to the closo of last year's season,
and the majority of the mares bred to him las"
are in foal.

Alcyo 2:10 by Alcyone.

On our title page this week is an excellent likeness
of Alcyo 2:10, the New England horse that Mr. B. S.
Krehe purchased last year at the same time he bought
Pistol, son of Lancelot. Alcyo and Pistol are now
located at San Jose race track for the stud season of
1902. Mr. Krehe's claim that Alcyo is a wonderful
race horse and sire is backed by the following record.
'Alcyo obtained a race record of 2:18} at four years
old, one of 2:13} at six years, one of 2:11 at eight years;
and when ten years old won the fourth heat of a race
in 2:10 flat, and at twelve years of age was raced
through the Eastern circuit in the 2:10 class. He
paced a public trial of 2:06, going the last half in 1:01}
and the last quarter in 28J seconds. Alcyo has a half
mile mark of 1:00 flat, paced on a half mile track,
which was made at Willimanter, Conn., in August 1897.
"Alcyo sires early speed. His foals trot, and are the
wonder of baby trotters. In 1893 Lady Alcy, a year-
ling by Alcyo, was a sensational performer, and re-
duced the record for New England bred foals to 2:37,
and is now champion yearling of New England. She
started in her first race at Narragansett Park, Provi-
dence, September 18th in a field of seven of the fastest
yearlings that ever met in the East. Princess Clara
was there, fresh from her noted victory at Fleetwood
two weeks previous, wearing the laurel figures of 2:34.
Boreal, the speedy and elegant son of Bow Bells, had
journeyed thither from Nashville to win the 50 per
cent of the $1000 yearling purse. Perial was there,
credited with seven winnings out of nine starts, and
Monturo, the fast son of Edgemark (trial 2:16) Baxter,
that had shown trials close to 2:30, and Lanceola, the
gazelle like daughter of Lancelot 2:23. Thij was a
hard field to beat but Lady Aloy, by Alcyo, driven
by Risk, won the mile dash, and the time, 2:37, lowered
the New England record.

'At the New England Breeders meeting the next
week, she finished second, but as the winner, Princess
Clara, was ineligible, first money again went to Lady
Alcy. The next week, at Brockton, Mass., she par-
ticipated in the closest fought yearling race ever
trotted, prooably, in this country. It was half-mile
heats and it required four heats to decide the race,
and although Lady Alcy was beaten she trotted the
third heat in 1:17}, which is at the rate of 2:35J, a very
merry clip for a yearling over a half mile track, and
the time of this heat lowered the half-mile yearling
record of New England. The next week at Franklin
Park, Langnes, Mass., Lady Alcy won a race of mile
heats, best two in three, trotting the thi d heat in
2:41. During the New England Breeders meeting at
Mystic Park, Lady Alcy trotted a half in 1:15, which
shows her wonderful flight of speed. In 1891 Lady
Alcy obtained a record of 2:19} and could have trotted
faster than any two year old in the world had she been
given the chance to do so. She weighed 1010 pounds
and stood 15 hands and 3 inches high. Alcy S., an-
other filly by Alcyo, has a similar showing of glory in
Germany. From her showing of wonderful speed, the
Germans sent out agents the past year and bought all
the colts by Alcyo they could get, paying $1500 a span
for unbroken colts. I could not learn what they paid
for broken colts. For the past two months I have
been endeavoring to get a few of his colts to show
here; the only price I could obtain was on one two
years old, without track work, which was the sum of
$1000 in their barn. He has not many colts, as he has
always been kept for racing, but from the number he
has got, he shows he is a wonderful sire of speed, as
he has eleven with records better than 2:30, made on
half-mile tracks.

"When Alcyo obtained his record of 2:11 it was the
fastest record of any horse ever raised in New Eng-
land, besides being the sire of the fastest yearling and
two year old ever bred in New England. He is credited
with serving forty mares last year and from last
accounts they are all with foal.

"His stable mate Pistol, who is a wonderfully bred
horse, has shown from the speed of his two year old
colt, the making of a great sire, and the public should
avail themselves of the opportunity to breed to him,
as he will be limited .to a small number of choice mares,
since he will be worked for a record.

"From these few remarks you will notice the great-
ness of these two horses."

HARNESS HORSEMEN MEET.

National Trotting Association Elects Officers- -A
Number of Constitutional Amendments Made.

[N. Y. Times, Feby. 13th.]
The Biennial Congress of the National Trotting
Association was held at the Murray Hill Hotel yester-
day. The Committee on Credentials reported 322
delegates present, many of them by proxy, some of
those present holdiog as many as forty. Among those
present were President P. P. Johnson, of Lexington,
Ky.; Secretary W. H. Gocher, of Hartford; George M.
Archer, of Rochester; Lewis J. Powers, of Springfield;
Charles D Palmer, of Lowell; Frank Bower, of Phila-
delphia; William R. Allen, of St. Louis; William G.
Pollock, of Cleveland; Frank S. Gorton, of Chicago;
H. K. Devereaux, of Cleveland; C. A. MeCully, A. J.
Welch, of Hartford; William Christie, of Portsmouth,
N. H.; W. L. Hitchings, of Boston; C. M. Jewett, of
Boston; H. W. Wilson, of Lexington; Rensselaer
Weston, of Goshen; Scott Locke, of Concord, N. H.;
C. A. Willis, of Red Bank; Albert C. Hall, of Stam-
ford; Hamilton Busby, Edward A. Tipton, L. M.
Cafferty, of Binghampton; H. N. Bain, of Poughkeep-
sie; Prank Walker, H. M. Whitehead, T. L. Quimby,
of Boston; S. H. Rundle, of Danbury, H. Seeds, I. S.
Kaufman, H. M. Kullen, of Philadelphia, and J. Walter
Lovett, of Bethlehem.

The meeting was called to order at noon by President
Johnson. Besides the election of officers the congress
also considered the changes in the rules recommended
by the joint committee from the association, the Ameri-
can Trotting Association and th 3 American Trotting
Register Association at a meeting held in this ciiy a
month ago. The changes in the rules were reported
in sections Dy Secretary MeCully, and were passed in
order. Many of them were of no special importance.
An amendment was offered by Mr. Willis forbidding
betting on heats in races and calling for the expulsion
of any member who should disobey the rule. The
amendment was lost, 29B votes being cast against it
and only four members votiog for it. Another change,
proposed by Mr. Jewett, the object of which was to
make the rules against hopples more stringent, was
also voted down, the present Rule 9, Section 2, remain-
ing in effect. A new Rule 16, Section 2, was adopted,
which referred to disqualification. The rule is as
follows:

"Owners who start horses, riders or drivers who
ride or drive, and ali horses started at meetings con-
ducted by persons under penalty by either the National
Trotting Association or the American Trotting Asso-
ciation shall, by operation of the rules, be henceforth
disqualified from the right to compete on grounds of
members, which disqualification may be removed only
by order of the Board of Review and upon payment of
$100 to go to this association, the fine to app.y to the
horse or horses disqualified regardless of any change
of ownership."

Other changes provide that written or telegraphic
notice for the drawing of a horse shall be given in
place of the oral notice heretofore required: that no
heats shall be called after sunset is another change.

Section 2, Rule 24, was amended bo as not to permit
any person interested in any horse or race to act "in
any official capacity in that race." This is much
broader than the recommendation of the conference,
which referred only to judges and timers.

The rule regarding distance was not changed, nor
was Section 3 of Rule 35, although a long discussion
was precipitated over a proposition to allow judges to
declare any heat void for pulling or other irregularities.
A new section that wa3 favorably acted on allows the
waiving of distances by consent, and the fine for al-
lowing suppression of the correct time was increased
from $100 to $500. The rule covering sandwiching of
heats was changed so as to permit the sandwiching of
heats in three races in one day.

By a vote of 272 to 12 an addition in regard to
records was made to Rule 44. The addition is that:

"Records cannot be made or bars incurred in trials
of speed where there is no pool selling, bookmaking,
or ether public betting on the event, no money com-
peted for, no entrance charged or collected from
competing horses, no admission fee to the gate or
grand stand, and no privileges of any kind sold. Such
performances shall not be considered public races."

The Committee on Nominations recommended the
re-election of the present officers, and added to the
Board of Review J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston, John

to have passed a motion that when the next congress
meets to consider the pratice of voting by proxy was
lost by a big majority. Another motion, by Mr.
Wilson, and one that was adopted, was that Congress
be petitioned to allow on application an extension of
six months to the period of six months during which
a Canadian horse owner may import a horse into the
country in bond and free of duty.

The next meeting of the congress will be held in
this city at a place to be determined by the President
of the association.

had gone it was explained that during the morning he
had received a telegram from Montana informing him
of the death of his son. A resolution of sympathy
for him was then adopted by a rising vote.

Good looks and trotting action are very liberally
distributed among the twenty-thtee head that Sandy
Smith is getting in shape at Aptos Stock Farm. Mr.
A. B. Spreckels, who bred and raised the horses will
consign them to the big Blue Ribbon sale which the
Fasig-Tipton company will hold at Cleveland next
May, and Sandy is certain that he will have speed of a
very high order to show on the Clevland track before
the sale begins. There are several that are related
very closely to the fastest trotters Mr. Spreckels has
bred. Among them is a bay four-year-old full brother
to Venus 112:11}, being by Cupid out of LUlie S. full
sister to Gracie S. 2:22 dam of Dione 2:07}. A five-
year-old gelding by Dexter Prince out of Emma S.
dam of Psyche 2:16} is another very promising trotter
and a six-year-old full brother is very much like him.
There is a full brother to Czarnia 2:13} in the consign-
ment. He is five years old and a trotter. His dam
Miss Valensin is by Valensin 2:23 out of Humming-
bird 2:30, dam of Hummer 2:181.

A well bred filly is the three-year-old by Dexter
Prince out of Neonta by Steinway, second dam by
Yosemite 4906, and third dam Phaccola a mare sired
by Silver Threads out of the famous mare Minnehaha,
dam of Beautiful Bells. One of the choicest in the
consignment is a gelding by Cupid 2:18 out of Point
Lace, a daughter of Antevolo that was out of Martha,
own sister to Crown Point 2:24. This gelding is a
trotter for fair, and the person who gets him will own
a high class roadster and in all probability a fast race
horse. A four year-old filly by Cupid out of Gracie S.
2:22 dam of Dione 2:07} is another one that looks like
a fast trotter. "The best looking bunch I ever
worked" said Sandy when asked the other day how
he liked them, "and I think I will have a big pro-
portion of fast trotters when I reach Cleveland. They
are all by Dexter Prince or Cupid."

If Peter the Great Starts.

Considerable gossip about the return of Peter the
Great 2:07} to the turf is now being printed, and I
think tbat there is no doubt that it depends entirely
upon whether he stands training or not, writes Volun-
teer in the Horse Review. As is well remembered, he
went wrong in his preparation early last season. At
this time there was some doubt as to the nature of his
complaint, it being variously located in a foot and a
leg. Evidently it was finally discovered to be in his
leg, as his namesake, Peter V. Johnston, who made
him famous, tells me that he was fired in the weak
limb, and that when he saw him last fall the visible
effects of it had already largely disappeared and that
it looked as if the leg would soon be as good as new.
If Peter the Great does stay sound for the "grand
prep" there wili be a Richmond in the field whom Lord
Derby, Boralma, et al., will find fullv worthy of their
steel. For there is no doubt that the son of Pilot
Medium, at his best estate, is one of the fastest trotters
ever foaled. Mr. Johnston told me that he also saw,
at Readville, the yearling filly by Peter the Great out
of Fanella 2:22} (the dam of the much touted Todd)
by Arion 2:07}. Peter V. says that she is the smooth-
est and fastest yearling trotter he ever laid eyes on,
and as George Leavitt paid $4000 for her, he must

think so, too.

Vallejo is is Line.

The Solano County Agricultural Association does
not propose to be left out of the circuit this year and
claims the week of August 4th to 9th for its fair and
race meeting this year. This will give it the week
before Napa and the date will con-flict with no other
meeting, but be just in line. The Vallejo track is in
good shape now and will be kept in order for training
purposes up to the date of the fair. There is no better
track, or healthier spot for horses than the one at
Vallejo, while its proximity to San Francisco and all
other points makes it very easy to reach by car or
boat. Vallejo has always paid its purses promptly.
There will be a race program announced in due time,
and the Solano County Agricultural Society will not
be out done by any district of the same proportions
in the State.

Bonnie Direct 2:05 1-4 and His Dam.

There has been in previous issues of the Breeder
and Sportsman photo-engravings of that handsome
champion Bonnie Direct 2:05£, and we present herewith
one of his dam Bon Bon, a mare that is destined to be
one of the greatest in the table of Great Broodmares.
Bonnie Direct, whose four year old record of 2:05^ is
also the world's record for the first season made by
any horse, is by Direct 2:051. His sire is a producer of
champions, his grandsire is a producer of champions
and his great grandsire founded a line of champions,
each producing more speed and race horse qualities
than the preceding generation. It is the line of
Dictator, Director, Directum, Direct, Directly, Bonnie
Direct, etc., etc., one of the greatest of all the great
lines of race winning trotters and pacers. But it is
Bon Bon, dam of Direct, that we desire to call atten-
tion to at this time. Her record is 2:26 and she is by
Simmons, one of the best if not the very best and
leading broodmare sires of to-day, and himself a great
sire of race horses. Bon Bon, before she was bought
by Mr. Griffith, who still owns her, had been bred to
Stamboul 2:07$. She produced one colt that as a two
year old was very promising, showing quarters in 34
seconds, and was sold at auction in the East, Mr.
Frank Herdic, the well known poolseller. being the
purchaser. In talking of this colt last year to Mr.
Griffith, Mr. Herdic said that he considered him one of

George Wilkes — Bonnie Wilkes — herself with a stand-
ard trotting record. The next dam, Bettie Viley by
Bob Johnson, a thoroughbred son of Boston, one of
the best thoroughbred crosses for harness horses, the
same blood that in Direct Mr, Salisbury said made him
what be was. In Bonnie we find the cross on both
sides of the house. Bonnie Direct's campaign of 1900
is still fresh in the minds of all horsemen. Starting
out a green horse he won a race at Windsor the week
before the Detroit meeting, where he went his great
race in the Chamber of Commerce, winning the fourl h,
fifth and sixth heats. His fifth race brought him up
against seasoned horses that had raced along in 2:05
and 2:06 the preceding year, hardly a fair proposition
for a green youngster. In spite of all he came home
sound and is to-day an absolutely sound horse, his legs
and feet are as clean as the day he wore his first har-
ness, and is it not good judgment to breed to one who
has been through the fire and has the legs and consti-
tution to stand it?

Last season Bonnie Direct had a hurried preparation
and struck the hottest of weather, and such bad tracks
that he could not be worked. He naturally got "off"
and Mr. Griffith after a few trials decided wisely not
to take any chances and shipped him home. He did
a few things even then that are worthy of note. He
paced a mile in 2:04|. He paced a heat in 2:05},
the last half of which was in 0:581. He paced a
quarter in 29 seconds, the last eighth of which he wa

when most unfortunately he died. The next Stamboul trotting gait until February in his three year old form

Bonsilene 2:14$, owned by Pierce Bros. She had a
foal last year Dy McKinney, but is again being trained
by Millard Sanders, who expects to give her a very
fast mark. Possessing two minute speed as she does,
this mark should be a low one, for she is as game as
possible and with great staying qualities. The other
Stamboul colts have never been trained. Bon Bon has
foaled, since owned by Mr. Griffith, a five year old by
Rect 2:16i, a four year old by Chas. Derby 2:20, a two
year old by Steinway 2:25$ and will soon foal to Mc-
Kinney 2\\\\. Mr. Griffith has rightly decided to
allow his colts to mature before starting them on the
necessarily hard campaign in the East. The five year
old could show quarters close to 30 seconds in bis two
year old form, and is now getting miles about 2:30 to
season him for this year's efforts; his speed is phenom-
enal. The four year old was converted to pacing last
year and in six weeks showed eighths in lti seconds.
The two year old has also, like all good Steinways,
shown his preference to paco, and is as fine a two year
old as has ever been seen at Pleasanton. And out of
such a mare is Bonnie Direct. Two of her get only
trained; one with a record of 2:05,1, the other 2:14J.
Bonnie's next dam wag a producing daughter of

trotted quarters in 35 seconds and promised to become
as great a trotter as he proved to be a pacer, but in
the spring he showed a strong inclination to p?ce, and
not wanting to put more weight on him to keep him
trotting he let him take the lateral gait.

Bonnie Direct was allowed 15 outside marcs last
season — these were booked early — unfortunately some
of these mares were not sent until so late that they
had only one cover, and could not be bred again, and
yet he has about 70 per cent of his mares with foal.

Bonnie Direct has already a good many mares booked,
and will be bred only to approved mares. Should any
mares bred this season not prove to be in foal, and
their owner for any reason should prefer not to breed
them another year the service fee will be returned.
These are very liberal terms, and if breeders will con-
sider that Bonnie Direct is one of the handsomest
representatives of a handsome family, that he is a
champion representative of a family of champions,
and that his pedigree is as choice as any ever tabulated
they will take advantage of the opportunity and breed

to him.

Lawson Buys Dare Devil.

Dare Devil 2:09 has been sold by Harry Hamlin to
T. W. Lawson, of Boston, and was shipped from Vil-
lage Farm to his new home last week. Mr. Hamlin
said the price is confidential and would give no in-
formation upon the subject. However, it is currently
reported that $35,000 is very near the purchase price,
for it is well known that Village Farm refused offers
from Mr. Lawson within the past week of $30,000.

Dare Devil is by Mambrino King, dam Mercedes.
He began his career on the Grand Circuit in 1897, and
had a race record at t*he end of the season of 2:09^.
He was not campaigned in 1898, but in 1899 won the
great six heat contest at Buffalo. His best race was at
Glens Falls, where he forced Cresceus out in 2:07}.

His career as a show horse is of high class, suffering
but one defeat in Boston. Mr. Cicero J. Hamlin
regarded him as one of the best Village Farm products.
Th6 deal was made Tuesday, the 11th, when Mr. Law-
son called up Harry Hamlin by telephone and made
the offer, which vas accepted. Mr. Hamlin says the
sale is in line of the policy of Village Farm. He asserts
that in Beau Ideal by Dare Devil, dam Nettie King,
now at Memphis in Ed Geer's hands, Village Farm has
a handsomer and better horse.

Make a Mistake.

Andy Welch said recently that, in his opinion, the
parent associations would make a big mistake if tbey
legislated fu^pendod horses out of amateur driving
clubs. He said as a track miaager he was opposed to
such a step. 't recognize," said he, "that these
amatenr driving clubs are the best recruiting agencies
that the professional tracks have. Take, for example:
Here is an owner nf a horse with a fast record that is
outclissed. There miy be suspensions against this
horse. The owner won't pay those suspensions be-
cause he knows that his horse can't win his money
bickforhim. In the first place the horse's value is
cheapened hy the fact that he is not able to win money
in his class, and he is again made cheaper by the fact
that suspensions are against bim. A young fellow, a
member of one of these clubs, who has never raced
horses, finds that he can buy this horse cheaply, gets
htm and races him at matinees, wins some ribbons and
pets the fever, and he goes out and buys a fast green
horse, putting good money into him, and starts him
in purse races. We track managers have got a valu-
able recruit, and that suspended horse has helped to
get him/'

Getting the Fever.

Senator Lodge appears to be restless and preoccupied
while attending the sessions of the Senate now. He
does not remain long in his seat, but moves about the
chamber, occasionally stopping to lean over the desks
of his associates when engaging them in conversation.
Some of his personal friends were becoming anxious
about him, and some of them feared that the weight
of responsibility as "personal representative of the
President in the Senate" might be too heavy for him
to carry. They were greatly relieved to-day to ascer-
tain that the seat of the Senator's trouble is not of the
mind , but of a less serious nature. The fact is, Senator
Lodge has contracted the horseback fever from the
President, and two or three times during the past
week he has accompanied President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root on a slow jog into the adjacent country.
The President and Secretary Root are seasoned horse-
men and they enjoy a brisk canter or dash. — JV". 1'.

$15,000 for 2:13 Trotters.

Horsemen will be interested to learn that the direc-
tors of the New England Trottiog Horse Breeders
Association have decided to raise the value of the
Massachusetts Stake from $10,000 to $15,000. This
makes the race the richest class event on the trotting
turf. The class is open to 2:13 trotters, and we fancy
it will be the special aim of every man who has a likely
candidate to fit his horse to win this particular event,
for the value of the purse gives it a distinction beyond
the ordinary, and the honor of winning it will be cor-
respondingly great.

The directors have also decided to adopt the plan of
ruling out a horse that does not win a heat in three in
the three-in-five class races, which Is, we believe, a
step in the right direction, and will meet with the
popular favor of the race-going publip. — Am, Hor

M JOTTINGS. ||

AMONG THE VISITORS to the BREEDER AND
Sportsman office this week was Mr. W. P.
Murray of Cleveland, Ohio, a prominent member of
the celebrated Gentlemen !s Driving Club of that city.
Mr. Murray, has been in California several weeks,
making quite a stay in Los Angeles, where he saw
Mr. Desmond's mare Italia. 2:23} by Zombro 2:11 and
purchased her for S3500. He was very much taken
with Zombro and believes him one of the most perfect
horses he ever saw. He stopped over at San Jose on
the way up, saw the great MeKinney 2:11 J and Iran
Alto 2:12}, and spoke very highly of both. Then Mr,
Murray visited Palo Alto and with his party was the
guest of Superintendent F. W. Covey for a day, and
while seated under the beautiful oaks Mr. Covey had
all the notable horses of the farm led out for inspec-
tion. Mr. Murray is one of the most enthusiastic of
amateur horsemen, and stated that no more royal
entertainment was ever afforded him. On Wednesday,
in company with Mr. O. A. Hickok, he visited Pleas-
anson and was shown all the stallions and horses at
that celebrated training and breeding ground. It was
his intention to visit Oakwood Park this week, if pos-
sible, although business engagements are calling him
home. Mr. Murray is a splendid specimen of
physical manhood and a gentleman of refinement and
culture whom it is a pleasure to meet. He told us
much of the Cleveland club and its members, and if
there are any more
like Mr. Murray
among its members
it is no wonder that
it is the leading club
of the kind in the
world. .He is one that
looks upon matinee
racing as the greatest
of American sports,
and believes its
strongest and most
attractive feature is
that the contests are
for pure glory and
not for money or anything that represents it. In
common with his fellow clubmen he looks forward
with keen interest and the greatest confidence to the
third contest for the Amateur Drivers Challenge
Trophy, which has been won twice already by that
great horse John A. McKerron 2:06J. He says that
after taking into due consideration the fact that
Boralma 2:07, Lord Derby 2:06} and others of the fast-
est trotters may be entered for the cup race this year,
he believes that the California-bred horse will win the
race and make the cup the perpetual property of the
Gentlemen's Driving Club of Cleveland.

"John A. McKerron," said he, "has always done
what he has been asked to do since our President, Mr.
Devereux, owned him. . He trotted the last half of bis
2:06| niile in 1:02| and the last quarter in 30| seconds.
He always finishes his mile at a faster clip than he
shows at any other part of it. He has reserve speed
left whenever called upon, and a horse that is a steady
square trotter of the very highest class, that has two-
minute speed and is so thoroughly en rapport with his
driver will be a hard one for any horse, no matter how
fast, to defeat. McKerron and Mr. Devereux make au
ideal combination. They thoroughly understand ono
another, and it will be very difficult to get another
such driver and another such horse together.

"Our driving club has reached such a stage of devel-
opment that our members are constantly on the look,
out for high class horses with which to win at the
matinees and they are willing to pay fair prices for
what they want. I believe I will be able to make a
good showing with Italia, and although I purchased
her on what I was told, I believe she has not been mis-
represented in the least "

give him a few lessons in the speed primer before
taking him over to Cleveland. This gelding is hardly
broken as yet, but showed an eighth at the trot in
20 seconds. He is a chestnut with a white strip in
his face and Mr. Murray selected him on his splendid
individuality before asking for his breeding.

Since meeting Mr. Murray and hearing his enthusi-
tic description of his club, and his words of praise for
California, its climate, its horses and its wonderful
richness, the thought has come to me many times that
if San Francisco had three or four men like him, we
too could have a gentlemen's driving club like the one
in Cleveland. It would do the moss backs good that
we have here (and they are pretty numerous and
healthy) if they could run up against such men as he.
His vim and enthusiasm and magnetism would very
likely spread to them by contagion, and if it did San
Francisco would soon have a driving club that would
equal any. We have the horses, it would be very easy
to get the track, and the greatest of sports would soon
have a host of devotees. It is true that there are a
very large number of amateur horsemen here who will
never believe until it is demonstrated to them that
there can be any enjoyment gotten out of a race unless
there is a purse or stake to trot for. But once let
them get a taste of the amateur sport of winning a
race to wagon in the presence of a few hundred friends
and acquaintances and they will become converts forth-
with. If a San Francisco club could send a horse over
East and win one of those interstate amateur cups, the
Eastern clubs would have to send their horses out here
to recover it. That they would try their best is cer-
tain, and thousands would turn out to see the contest
and the event would attract one of the greatest crowds
ever seen in this State.

A Good Man for the Place.

Hay wards is to have a horse show after the style of
the famous Kentucky Court Day shows. It will be
held on Saturdav. March 8th, and there is going to be
a great parade of fine stock. I understand Tom James,
of San Jose, will take Barondale 2:11 J there that the
people may take a look at this late importation, and
that B. S Krehe, of the same place, will probably ex-
hibit Alcyo 2:10 and Pistol, both recently purchased
in the East. These gentlemen are showing good sense
and the proper spirit, and I would ad vise every stallion
owner who can possibly take his stallion to Hay wards
that day to have him there in good shape and be a
part of the show. Mr. M. Henry, one of the leading
movers in this horse show, has been assured by the
President of the Alameda Driving Club that a large
delegation from that organization will take part in the
parade and entries are being made from all parts of
Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties of
stallions, carriage and saddle horses, teams, etc. It
will be a good place to purchase as well as a good place
to sell a horse or a pair. There are to be no prizes
given, it being simply a show of horses. Livermore
has had a very successful show on these lines annually
for some years, but the Hay wards affair is being man-
aged on a much larger scale.

Murray went over to Martin Carter's Nutwood
Stock Farm while here to take a look at Nutwood
; 2:16'.. Ktre of the great Cleveland matinee
champion. He likes him very much and said he was
not disappointed in the least in the picture he had
formed of him Mr. Murray has a young stallion by
Guy Wilkes that he says is the picture of Nutwood
Wilkes, and he thinks more of him now than ever.
When at Pleasanton he saw a two year old by Nut-
wood Wilkes being worked by William Cecil, asked
Mr. Carter for a price on him and a transfer was
r-.ade in a few minutes. The colt's dam is by California
Nutwood, second dam by Anteeo 2:16}, third dam by
Venture 2:27}, as rich breeding as is posssessed by any
:olt ever-foaled in California. Mr. Murray immediately
urned the youngster over to Orrin Hickok vrh0 will

Chas. E. Clark, of Fresno was in town this week
and tells me he expects to go over east again this year
with Toggles 2:08A, Sue 2:12} and Cozad 2:20}. The
last named horse he purchased while on the big
circuit last year and believes he has a good 2:10 pros-
pect in him. He is by Fred S. Wilkes 2:15, a grand-
son of Geo. Wilkes. Toggles and Sue are both in
fine fettle although the extreme heat in which they
had to race last year took a great deal of flesh off
them and they were both in the light-weight class
when they reached Fresno in the fall. The loss of
Listerine 2:13} was a heavy one for Mr. Clark as she
was a 2:07 or better mare sure.

"I have learned," said Mr. Clark, "that it is unwise
to start out with a horse unless he is in condition and
ready to race for the money bo matter how long the
heats are drawn out, and I have also come to the con-
clusion that when one's horses are in that shape the
place to go is where the big money is hung up, and
that is why I shall go over the mountains." I told
Clark that news had just come from Readville that
the Massachusetts for 2:13 trotters would be $15,000
this year, an increase of ?5,000 over last year's purse.
"I must have an entry for that purse," was his quick
reply "and I guess Sue will about do for it." There
would be congratulations sent to Charley Clark from
all parts of California should he win that big purse, as
there is not a more popular horseman than he on this
side of the continent. He is a very successful trainer
and made that good horse Toggles 2:08! and many
other fast ones. Mr. Clark thinks Fresno would be
an ideal place to hold a good trotting meeting this
year and says the track there is as good as any
course in the State. The county owns the property
having purchased it for hospital purposes, and if the
District Agricultural Association will give a fair and
race meeting the people will patronize it liberally.

The annual election of the Board of Trustees of the
Mechanics Institute will take place next Tuesday,
February 25th. The Mechanics Institute is an impor
tant organization for the advancement of the useful
arts and sciences in this State. Its annual expositions
of manufactured articles, machinery and pure food
products as well as exhibit of fine arts have always
been atttnded by thousands from all parts of California.
The institution is a large and wealthy organization and
its membership includes mechanics, business and pro-
fessional men. The management of its affairs calls for
the best men that can be selected from its members.
Among the candidates for election on the new Board
of Trustees is Prof. E. P. Heald of the Heald's Busi-
ness College, one of the best known men in the State.
He has been closely connected with the educational
interests of California ever since he founded the college
which bears his name, over 40 years ago, being at the
head of that institution, which is the largest school of
its kind on this Coast. Prof. Heald has always taken an
active interest in the welfare of the Mechanics Institute
and has served on the Board of Trustees before, during
a most successful administration of the affairs of that
organization. His business acumen combined with his
large experience and knowledge of educational matters
makes him a very desirable man for the position. The
main object of the Mechanics Institute is essentially
one of practical education. Its library is one of the
largest in the west and in connection with it special
instruction is afforded its members in many branches
of the arts and sciences, and courses of lectures by
specialists are given which are very instructive, enter-
taining and well attended. The particular fitness of
Prof. Heald will be appreciated by all who know the
man and the requirements of the position. Prof.
Heald i a man of exceptional executive ability, as he
must be to keep all of his varied interests well in hand.
He not only gives his closest personal attention to the
management of the Business College with its half a
thousand pupils and score of instructors, but in addi-
tion is interested in raisin vineyards in Fresno, stock
and fruit ranches in Napa county, valuable oil lands in
several of the best sections of the oil belt, real estate
and other property. He is a member of a number of
Boards of Directors and takes a special interest in the
business of raising harness horses, owning a number
of well bred mares and stallions. He is Chairman of
the Pacific District Board of Appeals of the National
Trotting Association and President of the Pacific
Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association and is an
indefatigable workerat anything he understands. He
is progressive yet conservative and will attend to the
work of the Institute as though it were his own private
business.

The government of West Australia has bought the
trotting bred stallion Kintore to travel through the
best breeding districts of that state at a fee of $15.75
for the purpose of improving the road class of horses.
This is a stallion bred of American parents.

Seattle hangs up $16,000 in purses and stakes. Read
the advertisement in this issue.

Ed Geers says the Memphis track is the best and
fastest track he ever drove over.

Lucre 2:15*, half brother to Searchlight 2;03}, has
been sent to Florida for a stud season.

Barney Demarest believes he can make a race horse
out of Worthier, the son of Advertiser out of Surd's
dam.

The rains have put all the tracks in good shape for
working over. Some of them were pretty dry and
hard.

Diablo 2:09} has already begun his season. The
mares bred to him this year will be the best he has
ever had. .

The rain has put all the country tracks out of busi-
ness for a short time, but they will be greatly benefitted
by the wetting.

About one hundred horses are being worked at the
Pleasanton track at the present time, and many more
are headed for that horse centre.

The average of the big sale at Chicago was $300 per
head and not one sensational price was paid. This
shows that horses are worth money.

Frank S. Gorton, owner of Tommy Brit ton. 2:06£,
who has been at Los Angeles several weeks this winter,
returned home a couple of weeks ago.

The trotters and pacers will be started up this week
at a majority of the California training tracks and the
miles will be getting faster and faster from now on.

A wagon to weigh but 45 pounds is being built for
John A. McKerron 2:06|. Aluminum will be used
where possible and the finish will be in natural wood.

Arner, the full brother to Diablo, worked a mile at
the Oakwood Park farm last year as a three year old
in 2:17. He has had several excellent mares booked
to him this year.

Lee Shaffer thinks the four year old filly Zephyr will
prove to be a great race mare, as her trials last fall
were entirely satisfactory, She is by Zombro 2:11,
dam Gazelle 2:1H.

It is said Norval 2:14^ not long since trotted a quarter
on a farm track at Lima, O., in 33| seconds. Norval
is twenty years old, and had not had harness on his
back in five years.

J. B. Chandler says Alix 2:03| appeared to him to be
perfectly worthless when she was a yearling, and his
impression was not materially modified when she had
become a two year old.

Susie J. 2:10}, roan mare by Jayhawker, dam
Millionaire (dam of Seraphina 2:16}) by Norwood 522,
son of Hambletonian 10, was purchased by J. Malcolm
Forbes at Woodward and Shanklin sale at Lexington
last Wednesday for $8025.

Mr. P. R. Isenberg sent to Honolulu on the Olympic'
which sailed February 18th, a blood bay single footer
by Cceur d'Alene, and a chestnut mare, coming four
years old, by Diablo 2:09}. The Diablo mare is a
beauty and has a great deal of natural speed.

_ "Columbus" very tersely says: "Did you ever con-
sider that while you are standing around waiting for
owners to book their mares to your stallion, the man
who believes in rustling and spreading printer's ink is
securing the very business you have been figuring on?"

Major Mason 2:09|, a bay stallion by Onward out of
Rachel Russel by Woodford Abdallah, sold for $900 at
the Chicago sale last week. Major Mason is a pacer
ten j ears old and made his record of 2:09} last year in
a race. His dam is also tke dam of Nellie Mason 2:15.

None of the get of Mr. M. Henry's stallion Educator
by Director have been trained prior to this year/but
J. M. Alviso, of Pleasanton, is now handling a black
four year old by Educator out of a mare by Almont
Patchen that will attract lots of attention to "his sire.

James L. 2:094 by Dexter Prince is to be shifted to
the pace this year and raced again. He got his record
in a six-heat race at Columbus in 1S96 when he was
nine years old. He won two heats and second money
in this race and was the contending horse in every
heat.

The Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland next May will be
the place to sell a good horse that can show speed.
This is the great "show me" sale of the year, and
buyers looking for horses to race are there with their
check books ready to pay well for the real trotters and
pacers.

Senator Mark Hanna is credited by his friends and
enemies alike as being one of the brightest of business
men and a clear headed money maker who takes ad-
vantage of opportunities when offered. He has
booked several mares to Cresceus 2:02} this year, and
they are all handsome and well bred.

B. A. Chilson has sent his handsome thoroughbred
racemare Blanche Sheppard by imported Friar Tuck
to Haywards to be bred to M. Henry's Director
stallion Educator. He hopes to get a roadster by this
mating that will not only be a handsome individual,
but one that will find the roads none too long.

Veterinary Pixine is rapidly coming into favor
among horsemen. It is the best thing for scratches,
grease heels and mud fever ever discovered.

The report comes from Dover that Hon. Frank
Jones is considering an offer from E. E. Smathers, for
Eleata 2:08f, the phenomenal green trotter of 1901. It
is said that the New York horseman has offered $10,-
000 for the daughter of Dexter Prince, and that she
may be a stable mate of Lord Derby 2:06i the coming
season.

Anna Belle 2:27i (dam of La Belle 2:16) by Dawn
2:18f, son of Nutwood, has been booked to Mr. B. S.
Krehe's stallion Alcyo 2:10 by Alcyone. Angie Wilkes
by Guy Wilkes has also been booked to the same horse.
Mr. Krehe's stallions Alcyo and Pistol are much
admired by horsemen who have seen them at the San
Jose track.

The great broodmare Prelacy by Lord Russell
recently lost her foal by Ponce de Leon 2:13. Prelacy
is one of the mares consigned to the Fasig-Tipton sale
by the estate of Marcus Daly, and purchased by T.
W. Lawson. She is the dam of Prelatess, the fastest
two year old of 1901, and Miss Previous, the vearling
filly which brought $10,000 at the sale.

More dates have been claimed for trotting meetings
over East this year than ever before. While the cli-
mate of the eastern country is such that training can
not be started for two or three months after California
trainers have begun work, it seems to favor early
speed in secretaries and fair directors that is entirely
unknown out here on the Pacific Coast.

J. B. Stetson, of Boise, Idaho, writes to the Port-
land Rural Spirit that the citizens of Boise have sub-
scribed $27,000 to build a new race track at that city,
and that work will be begun as soon as the weather
permits. Mr. Stetson states that he is the marked for
a trotter eligible to uhe 2:20 class, and a good green
pacer that can go the route and come back.

C. W. Ames, of Salt Lake, Utah, and R. H. Walsb,
of Grand Junction, Colorado, who have been in Nevada
recently purchasing horses for the British Government,
are now in Northern California on the same mission.

Orrin A. Hickok is giving Col J. C. Kirkpatrick's
four year old stallion Thornway his work at Pleasan-
ton and jogs him miles around 2:30 twice a week. Mr.
Hickok has just had sent to him a two year old geld-
ing by Nutwood Wilkes that is very promising and
was purchased this week by Mr. W. P. Murray an
iron merchant of Cleveland who has been visiting this
coast.

The Western Horseman, always an excellent horse
journal, has just issued a souvenir number with a
handsome cover in colors. There are nearly a hundred
pages of interesting reading, with valuable statistical
tables, interspersed with photo engravings of some of
the leading sires and other prominent horses of the
past year. A fine half tone engraving of Directum
2:05} occupies the front page of the cover.

The trotters eligible to the 2:11 and 2:12 classes will
be able to engage in no less than $72,000 worth of
stakes and purses this year. The Bonner Memorial at
New York, the Massachusetts at Readville, and no
doubt the Charter Oak at Hartford are $10,000 stakes
that will be for 2:12 trotters. The Transylvania of
$6000 will probably be for horses of the same clasp, and
at Memphis there will be a $5000 purse for 2:11 class
trotters.

Mr. Walter Randall of Santa Rosa is the proud pos-
sessor of the first foal sired by Washington McKinney
since that stallion was purchased by the Rose Dale
Stock Farm last spring. The new arrival is a filly that
looks very much like her handsome sire and is one of
the largest and lustiest fillies ever seen in that section.
Her dam is a mare by Hambrino. Washington Mc-
Kinney's services will be in demand this year as he is
not only a large and very handsome stallion but is a
member of the most fashionable family in California.

The sad news comes just before we go to press that
William B. Fasig, senior member of the great auction
firm known as the Fasig-Tipton Company, died at his
home Bennyscliff, near Brewston, New York, February
19th. Mr. Fasig was the best known horseman in
America, and has been identified with the horse busi-
ness of this country since the Civil War. He was a
genial, whole-souled, broad-minded, honorable man
and his death is a loss to the entire horse world. Par-
ticulars of his life and death must be reserved until
our next issue.

Mr. L. M. Lasell, one of the leading merchants of
Contra Costa county, was the purchaser of the royally
bred mare Clarionette at the recent Palo Alto sale in
this city. Clarionette is due to foal in April, having
been bred to Mendocino last year. Clarionette is but
six years old and is by Dexter Prince, dam Clarion
2:25| by Ansel 2:20, second dam Consolation (dam of
Utility 2:13) by Dictator, third dam by Norman 25,
fourth dam by Mambrino Chief 11, and" from there on
her pedigree runs into high class thoroughbred lines.
Mr. Lasell h s booked this mare to Nutwood Wilkes
2:16i and has made no mistake, as he will get a combi-
nation of blood in the foal that will be as certain to
show extreme speed as any that could be made.

Two Percheron stallions recently fought a duel to
the death on a fast stock train running over the Union
Pacific at the rate of forty miles an hour. One was
killed, the palace car was smashed into splinters and
Edgar Boise, the owner of the animals, loses $1500, the
value of the imported victims. Two keepers in charge
of the animals had to climb outside to escape the steelr
shod hoofs and glistening teeth of the infuriated ani-
mals. When they succeeded in apprising the trainmen
of the battle, a side track at Cheyenne was reached
and every effort made to separate the brutes, but
finally the victor severed the jugular of his rival,
which bled to death. The car had to be cut out before
the train could proceed.

It always pays to breed for good looks and size.
The Rose Dale Stock Farm bred a stallion called
Digitalis that was an extra good looker, but not a
horse of remarkable speed as speed goes in these days,
although he had a record of 2:25^ at the trot and was
faster than his mark. An Australian who came to
California a year or so ago, saw Digitalis and bought
him on his good looks, size and soundness and took
him to the antipodes. At the first big horse-show
held after his arrival there he walked off with the
first prize easily and then won races in 2:26 without
having to go to his speed limit. His owner now has
a very large patronage for his horse and is much
pleased with his investment. Being by Daly 2:15 out
of Cygnet by Steinway, second dam by Woodford
Mambrino, he is fashionably bred, and jhere is no
doubt at all but he will be a sire of speed in Australia.
It was his good looks, good legs and feet and all
around soundness, however, that first attracted the
attention of the Australian buyer as those qualities
invariably do all horsemen. Rose Dale Farm has
always had these qualities in view and has found it
pays to produce then.

There is a chance for some good man who knows
how to care for a stallion and is a good hustler, to get
a horse that will make him some money this year.
We refer to the horse Secretary, son of Director out
of a mare by Volunteer. "Secretary," says Monroe
Salisbury, "had more natural speed than any colt I
ever saw," which is saying a good deal for this horse,
as the "king maker" saw many fast ones when he was
in the business. All horsemen in California, however,
have some knowledge of Secretary's speed and the
reasons why he was not raced. He is a black horse,
16 hands, weighs 1200 pounds, with high quality and
fineness and beautiful symmetry. He has had no
opportunities to speak of, yet he has two with records
better than 2:15, and twelve in the standard list. He
is by Director, sire of Directum 2:05}, Direct 2:05i and
fifty more in 2:30. His dam was by Volunteer 55, sire
of St. Julien 2:11} and thirty-three more in the list.
He gets size, style and speed, and with opportunity
will yet distinguish himself as a sire of extreme speed
and gameness. Hans FrellsoD, who handled him last
year, states that Secretary was brei to 36 mares in
1901, and thirty of them are with foal or have already
foaled. If some responsible man wants a stallion at a
low price, or to lease on reasonable terms, this is an
opportunity not offered every day. Further informa-
tion can be had of the editor of this paper.

Enoch Wishard on the Scale of Weights.

The proposition set forth by the California Jockey
Club to raise the scale of weights to the English stand-
ard has created a great deal of discussion among turf-
men who, so far, appear to be divided in opinion.
Enoch Wishard, the former trainer of Richard Croker's
horses, who will look after the interests of John A.
Drake;s stable this season, believes that it is unnec-
essary to raise the scale and expresses his views as
oilows:

"I believe in heavier weights than are now carried,
out I do not mean that it is necessary to raise the
scale. In the East, at least, it is heavy enough. Simply
hold strictly to the prevailing scale and we would get
better racing. I know it is said tbat one cannot con-
vince the horsemen of this, but it is nevertheless true.
In England the weights carried are greater than here
and our American bred horses can carry their imposts
over tnere as well as the English horses. I wish I
knew one good reason for carrying light weights. On
the other hand, I know several very good reasons for
carrying heavier burdens.

"Why do all the American jockeys, or, at least, why
do so many good ones go abroad? Because they can
get mounts there. Why don't they ride here? Be-
cause they are too heavy for that. You take and train
a good jockey! Teach him the business, spend a few
thousands of dollars on him and at the end of three or
four years he will begin to be a good jockey. Then
what becomes of him? He is of no use to the man who
developed him, because he has grown too heavy to
ride at the scale that prevails. It does not hurt horses
one bit to carry heavier weights and it often does them
good, in my opinion. If we could get a better scale or
rather stick to the one we have so that a boy who was
maturing both in mind and body could ride, we would
find that the jockeyship would be better and the
horses would run much truer to form.

"A light boy who is down to about 90 pounds cannot
manage some of the horses yet the horse has to be
ridden at that weight. More weight could easily be
put on him but it would handicap him over the others
beyond what his record would compel him to take up.
On the other hand, if the boy was heavier and more
matured he would know better how to manage such a
horse. The light boy may be just a little off his feed
and not feel exactly right — everyone gets that way
now and then. If be rides a poor race, when in that
condition, he is blamed for it and is often charged with
pulling the horse. As a matter of fact the real fault
of the race is in the fact that the weight of the boy
may have been too light for him to have the strength
and judgment to manage his mount.

"Personally I have never seen all these races in
which the horse has been pulled. I have seen many
races where it was said that there was pulling, but I
did not see it, and for that matter I know tbat there
was nothing wrong. Either the horse or the boy
might have been a little off color. Maybe it was the
boy's fault, because he had been riding too much at
the light weight and bad become weakened. That is
the case nine times out of ten. In England they have
good racing at the scale of weights, but their horses
are no better than ours. Where the English excel is
in the breeding.

"Speaking of breeding reminds me of the work the
German Government is doing with the thoroughbred.
Each year it buys a certain number of broodmares and
stallions in England or France and ships them to Ger-
many. The Imperial Government will pay any price
for them, often as high as 810,000, but will sell them to
the German breeders at the highest bidder's figures.
I know of one broodmare for which the German Gov-
ernment paid $10,000, and sold at auction to a German
breeder for $300. One stipulation is made— that the
horse and the get therefrom must remain in Germany
for a certain number of years. Work like that is do-
ing a whole lot for the thoroughbred in Germany.

Farmers After Horses.

Farmers from all over the corn belt surround the
auction ring at the Dexter Park horse market daily.
They are here to purchase equine motive power for
spring seeding operations. There is a moral in this:
The country is not raising enough horses. Not only
are farmers coming to Chicago to make purchases,
but dealers are shipping large numbers to various
points to supply country needs. The farmer who Kept
right-along raising a few colts when the market was
depressed is enjoying what is popularly known as a
good thing just now.— Lin Stock World.

Corrigan' s Horses.

Thirty horses belonging to Edward Corrigan arrived
at New York from England last week. The con-
signment comprised all the horses he took over to
that country, except a few he sold there, and seven-
teen thoroughbreds that he purchased in England.
The list is as follows:

Volodyovski and Conroy Weighted Alike.

Those who have for some time been asserting that
there is no real difference between the best horses of
the respective countries now claim to be justified in
their belief, for the tbree handicappers who officiate
in the English race, the City and Suburban (Messrs.
Dawkins, Keyser and Lee), have declared that Volo-
dyovski, the Derby winner, should have the same
weight — and no more — as Conroy, the winner of the
Brooklyn handicap, i. e., 122 each. Both colts are
four year olds.

Conroy at the time he won the Brooklyn Handicap
was not considered by the public as the best of his agei
his stable companion, Commando, being generally
thought to be his superior, although some shrewd
trainers were of opinion that the two colts were not
reaUy far apart in the matter of form.

Epsom Lad, at 126 pounds, is top weight in the race,
which is a stake, value $10,000. The French horse
Codoman is allotted 122 pounds. Mr. Keene's Disguise
II. has been given the same weight, as also have the
Derby winner, Volodyovski, and Mr. Keene's Conroy,
winner of the Brooklyn Handicap. Thus an interest-
ing question has been settled, as far as the official
handicapperis concerned, as to the comparative merits
of high class horses of either country.

Haggin's New York Stables.

James B. Haggin, whose Watercress colt, Water-
color, finished last season with a better record than
any three year old in America, has completed arrange-
ments to construct a fine stable witb training quarters
of the most modern kind on the tract of ground he
recently purchased near Gravesend track. The stable
will be one of the best equipped establishments on
Long Island, William C. Whitney's establishment at
Sheepshead Bay not excepted, and directly it is fin-
ished Charlie Littlefield will move in with Mr. Haggin's
big string of horses. Littlefield will train for Mr
Haggin permanently.

The Kentucky-California millionaire railroad mag-
nate, stock operator and horse breeder has taken a
warm fancy to Littlefield'smethods and swears by him.

It took him several years to awaken to the realisa-
tion that Littlefield was a horseman of unusual
capacity. The reason of this was thai the New Jersey
turfman went into Mr. Haggin's employ as a clerk in
the old days when he had the strongest racing stable
in America.

Being an old-fashioned man, he was not in the habit
of adopting sudden changes. He could not at first be
brought to believe that a first class clerk might, with
careful instruction, in a few years become a' first class
trainer.

Littlefield took charge of a portion of the Haggin
stable tentatively in 1900 and achieved only a fair
measure of success, but not enough to convince Mr.
Haggin of his abilities. His astonishing clever work
with Watercolor last season, however, did the business.
Now it would be impossible for any man to shake Mr
Haggin's confidence in him. Men who take their time
about arriving at conclusions are invariabiy obstinate
in clinging to them. — Daily America.

A dispatch from London says: Mr. Richard Croker
has paid Lord Clonmel $25,000 for two yearling colts '
by St. Simon and FJorizel. The eolts were shipped to
Wantage and are the best yearling specimens of thor-
oughbreds in the kingdom. It is apparent that Croker
will not spare money to obtain a future Derby winner.

' About as handsome a two-year-old filly as ever
graduated from the maiden class is Gaviota that won
the three and a half furlong race for maiden two-year-
olds at Oakland last Monday. She is by the horse-
show prize winner imported Crighton, and her dam is
. Nellie Bell by Prince of Norfolk so that her good looks
are inherited from both sides. Gaviota was bred and
is owned by Mr. A. B. Spreckels, proprietor of the
[Napa Stock Farm.

Some Points on Stable Management.

[Chicago Horseman.]

The term stable management includes a variety of
of subjects connected with the management of horses,
to discuss all of which in a detailed manner would be
impossible within the space of an article. It is not in-
tended to do so here, but merely to discuss a few of
the points of good stable management in a brief and
general manner.

The most important part of stable management con-
sists in the proper feeding and watering of horses. In
fixing the rations for the horse the quantity and kind
of work must be considered. It will not do to feed all
horses alike; a difference in the feeding must be made
between horses doing slow work and those which have
to perform work at fast paces. Again, a horse doing
hard work must be fed differently to one doiDg but
little work. It may seem almost superfluous to men.
tion this, but mistakes are so frequently made in feed-
ing horses that it may be of use to draw attention to
it. Grooms may sometimes be unable of themselves to
apportion the rations io regard to quantity and quality
according to the manner of work the horses in their
charge are required to do. Unless in such cases the
owner himself sees to this and supervises in some de-
gree the feeding of his horses, they will not be as use-
ful and in such good condition as they might be. It
must also be borne in mind that wrong feeding is fre-
quently the cause of disease and illness.

Especial attention must be paid to the feeding of
horses which do irregular work and get but little ex-
ercise. This is frequently the case with carriage
horses in towns and with hacks. Too high feeding in
such instances is often the cause of filled legs. Beans,
in particular, which some grooms are fond of using,
are not at all suitable for horses doing little work, as
they are far too rich a food The use of beans is only
admissible in feeding horses doing hard and regular
work, and even in such cases one may do without them
if good sound oats are givan in sufficient quantities.
Where the work is not hard, and irregular, beans
should on no account be used.

The giving of some laxative food occasionally must
not be omitted. This may be provided in the form of
a bran mash, or of carrots or of green food, according
to which is most easy to obtain. Carrots or green
stuff are to be preferred, but the latter will, of course,
have to be dispensed with in winter. A small quan-
tity of green food, such as clover, lucerne, sainfoin,
etc., is not detrimental to good condition; it only be-
comes so if fed in appreciable quantities. Some horse-
men are much addicted to the giving of balls and
physicking if the horse is constipated or out of order.
Now this practice is entirely harmful, and the dosing
of horses on the part of the groom should not be
allowed. The state of the bowels should, as far as
possible, be regulated by harmless methods, such as
the giving of laxative food. By employing this at the
right time the use of stronger measures will in many
cases be obviated. A regular examination of the con-
dition of the dung should not be omitted, as this tells
us a great deal as to whether a horse is in perfect
health or not. If it is hard or not of normal appear-
ance, measures should be taken accordingly to correct
this. In any case, a horse should never be stinted in
his water supply, and always have as much as he
wants, too, unless he is under the care of a vet., who
may have given orders to the contrary. Too many
people still cling to that old and cruel and senseless
practice of keeping a horse short in his water supply,
as they think it is beneGcial to hard condition. It is,
of course, true that an untrained horse drinks consid-
erably more water than one that is in hard condition
and more or less in training, when both do an equal
amount of work. The reason for this Is that a horse
in hard condition and used to work requires less water,
as he does not get so tired and perspires and sweats
less than a horse which is not in training. But this is
no reason why a horse should be allowed less water
than he requires to drink.

The obtaining of a good gloss on the coat of a horse
is one of the chief cares of the stable. The means
employed for this purpose are frequently objection-
able, and even harmful to the health and usefulness
of »tie horse. A glossy and short coat in horses doing
work, and particularly fast work, are of course, greatly
to be desired, and greatly increases the capacity of a
horse for work if it has been obtained by legitimate
means. The principal factor in producing a gloss on
the coat is plenty of grooming. To insure glossy and
short coats by keeping the temperature of the stable
at too high a point is eminently bad, and must be
severely condemned. Yet some are addicted to thi8
■practice. Too much clothing has also a prejudicial
effect on horses, though a sufficiency of it is to be
recommended. It is much better to insure the horse
being properly warm by allowing them an adequate
amount of clothing than by keeping the stable too
warm. In many cases the temperature of the stable

is not only too high, but the clothing is too heavy.
In deciding as to the amount of clothing necessary,
the warmth of the stable will, of course, have to be
taken into consideration. If the temperature is
rather high, less clothing will do, and vice versa. It
must be remembered that the proper amount of
clothing is not a fixed quantity, but depends upon
circumstances. Two thin rugs are warmer than one
thick one of equal weight to the thin ones together.
A rug made of porous wool is best, and it is to be pre-
ferred to any other kind.

Some food stuffs have a beneficial effect on the gloss
of the coat of a horse, especially those containing
much oil or fats, such as linseed and linseed cake.
Maize also increases the gloss. With proper grooming
and clothing nothing more is required to ensure a
good glossy coat. Keeping the coat short depends on
having the horse sufficiently clothed and on grooming
him propertly, while an adequate supply of food is
also necessary. It would be wrong, however, to
attempt to obtain shortness of coat by too high a
temperature of the stable. Too waim a stable is in
all cases an evil, leading to horses catching cold and
coughs and worse evils. The effects of a hot stable
are most to be apprehended in carriage horses, which
are left standing out in the cold for a longer or shorter
period, wherj, of course, they are most liable to catch
cold. It would be advisable to throw a rug over them
in such cases, though with harness horses in towns
this is not possible in many cases.

It would require too much space to go into the ques-
tion of clipping here. It will suffice to say that it is
necessary to remove the coat if it is long and the horse
has to do fast work. Clipping is not an unmixed bless-
ing, however, and when it is possible to keep the coat
short by legitimate means it is advisable to do so and
to dispense with the clipping. To some extent the
question of the thickness of the coat depends on the
individual horse; some horses have heavier coats than
others. Blood and well bred horses have a shorter
coat as a rule than underbred horses, and young ones
than old horses.

Very frequently horses are found to rub their tails,
and which practice makes them moreor less unsightly.
This can in most cases be remedied by keeping the
anus and the region around it in a clear state. A
practice should always be made of having this part
thoroughly cleaned with a cloth or damp sponge at
grooming time. Where this is attended to, cases of
horses rubbing their tails will be of rare occurrence.
Care should be taken to keep the litter in a dry and
clean state. Wet litter is frequently the cause of
thrush. The application of Stockholm tar to the cleft
of the frog in the foot is recommended, say, once or
twice a week, according to whether the horse is liable
to thrush or not.

A sloping floor is injurious to horses, as it throws an
unnatural strain on the limbs. In stables which have
stalls with sloping floors care should be taken to see
that the litter is so distributed as to remedy the evil
as much as possible. A sufficient supply of straw for
bedding purposes should always be provided. Careful
grooms can be very economical with the litter, and
with some little management an excessive waste may
be avoided.

If possible, the dung should be removed directly
after the horse has dunged. It is not, however, the
dung that dirties the litter and pollutes the air with
noxious gases so much as the urine. These evils may
to some extent be avoided by having a sufficient supply
of dry straw, which will absorb the urine, or, better
still, to use peat-moss fitter for this purpose. Peat-
moss litter possesses much better water-absorbing
properties than does straw. Many geldings do not like
to stale on the hard floor on account of the urine
splashing against their legs, and in such cases it will
be found that they stale more readily when standing
on litter.

Reverting once more to the question of whether
straw or peat-moss is preferable, this is difficult to say,
as both have their advantages if compared with one
another. In the country straw will be the cheaper
material for bedding purposes, while in the towns
peat-moss litter may be more economical. Where
expense is an object, considerations of economy will
influence the choice of the one or the other material.
Straw undoubtedly looks best and most comfortable.
As already pointed out, peat-moss ranks first in regard
to absorptive power. A combination of it and straw,
putting the latter on top, of course, would answer all
requirements very satisfactorily.

In some instances, sawdust is used for litter, and
serves the purpose of absorbing moisture very well,
provided it is dry. As a rule, it is not as useful as
straw or peat-moss, and its use is not advisable except
where it is at hand, and for horses on whose outward
appearance little stress is laid.

A supply of salt should be found in all stables. This
is best provided in the shape of a lump of rock salt, to
which every horse should have access. Horses doing
little work are more in need of salt or — to put it more
accurately — require a larger amount of it than do
horses doing hard work. It is well to bear this in
mind.

The Outlook for Trotters.

The result of our last two sales at Madison Square

Garden proves we believe the stability of the market,

and should be a source of gratification to every

breeder and owner, and to all connected with the

ytrotting horse industry.

J Four great breeding studs have passed out of
i existence, and were readily absorbed at excellent
prices. Altogether 1.500 horses have gone under the
,. hammer for $721,400 or an average of over $-181 por
head. The "Old Glory" average for 920 head was
$541, a "record-breaker" coasidering the number
sold.

The horse of promise was never in better demand.
At these two sales 132 of the best offerings sold for
$313,655 an average of over $2,385 per head. Three
stallions averaged $12,600. Six stallions averaged over
$9,100. Two geldings averaged $9,850. The yearling
trotting filly, Miss Previous, sold for $10,300, the
auction record for that age, and this was the only
sensational price in either sale. The top figure of the
"Old Glory" was $12; 100 for Directum 2:05J; that of
the "Midwinter" auction was $15,700 for Oakland
Baron 2:09£. These figures show the demand there is
for first class trotters, and make the outlook most
encouraging.

Under these conditions, it is specially gratifying for
us to call attention to our next great sale, "The Blue
Ribbon," at Cleveland, Ohio, May 12th to 24th. The
fascinating feature of this sale is the opportunity given
to horses to show their speed over the fast and well
kept Cleveland track. A fast quarter or eighth under
the watch is convincing evidence which buyers appre-
ciate, and which is not furnished at any other auction.

The earning capacity of the trotter and pacer is in-
creasing each year, because more rich stakes and
purses are annually being offered. Racing men are
keenly on the alert for likely winners, and ready to
pay the top price for the "real thing." The matinee
and speedway demand opens up a constantly widening
field of usefulness for the fast and well mannered horse;
attracting to the industry men of wealth. These are
reasons why ready-to-use speed brings more money
to-day than formerly, and both buyers and sellers
appreciate the special advantages of the annual Blue
Ribbon event.

Our sale mart, opposite the entrance of the Cleveland
Driving Park, is most conveniently located for the
shipment of horses and the attendance of buyers.

If you have something that is high class and attract-
ive, shall be pleased to hear from you. Address Madi-
son Square Garden, New York City.

Malcolm Forbes' Success.

Mr. J. Malcolm Forbes thinks well of the colt Ad-
miral Dewey, three year old record 2:14J, by Bingen
from Nancy Hanks, a colt which those who have seen
him at speed predict should train to the very lowest
notch, says an exchange. But lameness checked him
after one stake victory last season, and very doubtful
it is if he will again be raced or even tested until he
reaches maturity, as it has invariably been Mr. Forbes'
policy to wait till they are perfectly equipped to train
for their very best efforts. Mr. Forbes planned to be-
come a limited breeder of the very highest class ani-
mals, and in ten or twelve years has succeeded won-
derfully well as a breeder and manager. Nico 2:08}
was destined to be a 2:03 or 2:04 trotter, but death cut
short his career as a four year old and the turf lost a
star of the highest calibre. Now it is said that a sister
of Nico is faster at the age than was he. We may see
her at races in 1902, and if she were to equal or lower
Eleata's fast record of 2:08$ it would be gratifying to
Mr. Forbes' extensive circle of friends. A brother of
Nico named Capt. Haff took a record last season, and
was selected by the astute trainer James Golden as a
stake prospect for the season to come, so he will have
full opportunity to distinguish himself.

Intestinal Worms.

In the horse there are many kinds of worms found besides the bot
worms. The luaibricoids belong to the genus ascaris and are
known as the round worm, which dwells in the Intestines, but
sometimes, however, ascend into the stomach and creeps out at
the mouth and nostril Oxyures vermfculari— the threadworm,
which lives almost exclusively in the rectum. The round worm Is
4 to 10 Inebes long and resembles the common earthworm, differing,
however, in color, which is a dirty white. The threadworm (s very
much smaller and resembles In size and color a piece of white
thread, three-quarters of an inch and a trifle longer. These are
found, at times, by the thousand: they are a great worry to the
animal, causing him to paw and rub his hind quarters incessantly.
The strongylus is from five inches to three feet long. The oxyures
also occur; they are blunted at one end, with a head like a sucker.
The trlchocephalus, or long threadworm: the tapeworm fs also,
sometimes, found in the horse, besides a variety of other worms,
such as the bot worm, etc. To prevent such vermin from destroy-
ing your stock it is necessary to allow them a liberal supply of salt
and some tonic food containing a bitter principle. The Manhattan
Stock Food, Red Ball Brand, is such a tonic food. We guarantee
it to prevent worms from generating and to positively expel them.
If present. Manhattan Food cures colic, hide-bound and all stom-
ach troubles of the horse.

Bench Show Notes.

An innovation in "bench show affairs is promised at
the April bench show by the appearance at that ex-
hibition of what may confidently be classed as a show-
ing of at least 100 blue-blooded greyhounds, which will
be an aggregation of the best specimens of the breed
in the United States and second to none in the .vorld.
The demands of the sport of coursing in this State
have been of such a strenuous nature that we have in
th^city and on the Coast at present a collection of
these graceful and speedy dogs that cannot be ex-
celled anywhere. Veritably, an illustration of the
axiom, "survival of the fittest," for a dog that cannot
earn his keep or does not giye promise of- doing so: a
dog who, by virtue of past performances on the sward,
is not of utility in the stud or a bitch of requisite
coursing renown who cannot maintain her fame as a
brood dam, has no standing in the practical lexicon of
the leashman.

Heretofore, for divers reasons, the coursing men
have seen fit to hold back in exhibiting their high-
class running dogs, not that they were unaware of
the benefits arising to owners and breeders, and also
for the bast interests of "man's best friend,1' in giving
a more substantial support to bench shows, but there
seemed to be a missing link in the efforts of past
bench show managers in inducing the coursing de-
votees to come to the front.

Under the gentle mantle of charity has been found a
potent motive for a change in the routine of past in-
difference, and in response to overtures from the San
Francisco Kennel Club, Mr. L. A. Klein, tbe honorary
manager of the coming bench show, was introduced
by the secretary of the California Coursing Committee,
Mr. George McE. Malcolm, to the California Coursing
Committee at a meeting held on Thursday of last week,
Mr. Klein pointed out to the committee the advisa-
bility, to coursing men, of showing the magnificent and
perfect specimens of the breed owned by local kennels,
thus interesting a wider circle of sportsmen in coursing
affairs and also in the breeding of thoroughbred Grey-
hounds, further popularizing the sport by introducing
to the notice of many, who are but little familiar with
the sport, some of the grand dogs who have not only
made history in coursing annals, but have also won
purses and trophies of greater value than have many
turf celebrities. The result of this meeting was a tacit
understanding that the dog show management will set-
aside a space at the bench show for a Greyhound ex-
hibition, which in itself will be one of the greatest
expositions of high class coursing dogs that has yet
been placed before an audience. A committee, of
which Mr. Rossiter will probably act as chairman, was
appointed by the coursing board to perfect arrange-

The Boston Terrier Lord Derby, owned by Dr. Mott,
won the Treasurer's cup for the most popul r dog in
the Providence show. Dr. Lougest's Wandle "Warrior
ran second.

J. McCormick's English Setter bitch Luzon Maid
(Ruby's Lad-Daisy Opal) whelped on December 16th

(Count Danstone-Fairland Queen).

ments for this special feature of the coming dog show.

The coursing men will offer a purse of not less than
$500 for distribution among Greyhound classes only.
The committee of arrangements will erect their own
benching, which is promised to be most elaborate. The
dogs will be under the personal care of their respective
trainers.

The Greyhound section will have a reception parlor
and several other convenient appurtenances for the
leashmen, their lady friends and visitors, making the
exhibit an enjoyable and novel feature of the tench
show.

The bench show committee appointed by the Cali-
fornia Coursing Committee will consist of J. H'
Rosseter, H. A. Deckelman, E. E. Shotwell and
George Mc E. Malcolm.

The classification of the Greyhound exhibit will
most likely be open classes for dogs, also bitches; a
stake class for dogs, also bitches; a class to winners of
more than four courses; a mixed class for dogs and
bitches not eligible for the stake class, a class for dogs
and bitches under eighteen months of age.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

We are extremely sorry to note the death of one of
the_most promising of the young dogs that ran at the
.Pacific Coast Field Trials last month, Diana's Rod field,
who was the property of F. J. Stone, of Fresno. Thus
goes another good dog to increase the death roll that
commenced with distemper which made its appearance
among the strings of dogs taken to Santa Maria.

An encouraging augury for the April show manage-
ment is the liberal spirit shown by organizations and
individual fanciers in offering special prizes.

The California Cocker Club offers the President's
trophy. Other specials for Cocker classes are given
by Mrs. TV. C. Ralston. J. H. Dorian, owner of the
Nairod Kennels; E. C. Plume, of the Plumeria Kennels:
Miss Ethel H. Tompkins, of the Pine Hill Kennels.

The regular club medals offered are for the best
Cocker dogs, best bitch; best for other than black dog;
best for other than black bitch. A silver medal will
be offered for each class. A silver medal each wilf be
offered for the best dog and best bitch owned on the
Pacific Coast; the competition for these two medels is
open to all.

Mr. E. C. Plume, the secretary of the California
Cocker Club has issued a circular to the club members,
in which he states among other things, as follows:

"We cannot afford to beluke warm in our support
of the present effort of the San Francisco Kennel Club
to develop a heartier spirit of good fellowship and co-
operation, and we very earnestly urge our members
to respond promptly, heartily and liberally to the
call of the Honorable* Manager of the club, Mr. L. A.
Klein, for support in the form of specials and other-
wise. Let us join enthusiastically as a club, and as
individuals in the effort to make the coming show a
monumental success. Put aside personal predjudices
and jealousies in the interest of man's most loyal
friend and companion."

The Cocker Club will, pursuant to action taken at
the committee meeting this week, furnish a reception
parlor for the members, friends and guests somewhat
on the same lines as the Greyhound fanciers have
decided.

The San Francisco Kennel Club bench show commit-
tee have allotted to the Cocker Club a separate section
for their exhibit.

The California Collie Club have announced that all
of the usual club specials will be offered, the Pacific
Bull Terrier Club have expressed a similar intention.

The recently organized Bulldog Club will have in
competition, for members only, a handsome and valuable
trophy, worth, it is estimated, at least $150. The Bull-
dog Club of America has offered the club medal for
the best dog whelped and bred in the United States,
the sire and dam of which dog, when mated, were
owned by a resi ent or residents of the United St tes.
A club melal, under similar conditions, is also offered
for the best bitch.

A special of more, than little importance is offered
by George H. Ketcham, Esq.. the owner of the cele-
brated trotting horse Cresceus. This cup is offered
in a measure as a testimonial from the donor in recog-
nition of the many courtesies he received, during his
recent visit to-this city, at the hands of A. B. Spreckels,
Esq.. the president of the San Francisco Kennel Club.

Julius Redelsheimer, Esq.. president of she Seattle
Kennel Club, will donate a handsome cup.

Irving C Ackerman, Esq.. has signified his intention
of giving an elegant cup, which is to be awarded to the
best pair of St. Bernards.

Charles K. Harley, X. H. Hickman and L. A. Klein
have each offered a cup for the hree Northern shows.
Mr. Harley's cup will go to Victoria. Mr. Hickman's
cup to Seattle and Mr. Klein's cup to Portland.

A novel feature of th« coming show will be the ex*
hibition of Beagles, a breed in high repute among fox
and rabbit hunters in the East. But few Beagles have
ever been seen at our local bench shows, in fact there
are but a small number of the breed on the Coast. .

An opportunity to get a good line on Beagles will be
had in April as the Middle Essex pack from South
Lincoln,! Mass., J. A. Higginson, master, and several
other private packs will be entered in the race for the
cup offered by Mr. Ketcham.

Tne Philadelphia show will be a two point show.

Griffon Bruxellois is a breed that has recently taken
the fancy across the water.

The full list of judges for Chicago show is as follows:
Dudley Waters, Grand Kapids, Mich., St. Bernards;
John H. Naylor, Mount Forest, 111., Mastiffs, New-
foundlands, Great Danes, Bloodhounds, Bulldogs, Scot-

The names of the gentlemen selected for the Handi-
capping Committee for tbe Great American Handicap
at live birds for 1902 are' the Messrs. John M. Lilly,
Indianapolis, Ind., chairman; C. W. Budd, Des
Moines, la.; Chris. Gottlieb, Kansas City, Mo.: Arthur
Gambell, Cincinnati, O., and Elmer E Shaner, Pitts-
burg, Pa., as secretary to the committee. Great care
has been taken in the selection of the committee.
Inasmuch as the majority of the shooters at the Grand
American Handicap this year will undoubtedly be from
the Western and Southern States, all of the 'members
of the committee are taken from among the shooters
of that section, and as all Qf them are men of wide ex-
perience in shooting affairs, and of extended acquaint-
ance among the shooters, as well as undoubted integ-
rity, the handicapping should be done to the satisfac-
tion of all.

B. Leroy Wo^dard, or "Leroy," as he is more
familiarly known, is this season traveling for the Du-
Pont Powder Company, and shooting a Parker gun.
Last year Leroy accompanied the American team to
England and Scotland, where he participated in some
of the matches, and acquitted himself very well in each
in which he took part. Recently (January 18th) he
shot at Providence, R. I., in the contest for the cham-
pionship of the State, and although he was not eligible
for the honors, he had the satisfaction of being high
gun. with the score of 84 out of the 100. E. C. Griffith,
of Pascoag, R. I., the winner of last year's Grand
American Handicap at live birds and also at targets,
being the next high gun with the score of 82, and
therefore the winner of the championship. The con-
ditions of this shoot were very difficult, being 25 tar-
gets at known angles; 25, at unknown; 25. expert rules,
and 13 pairs of doubles, but the conditions this day
were more than ordinarily difficult, for with the twenty
participants, it was late when the doubles were shot,
the targets could hardly be seen on account of the
darkness.

Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Associa-
ticm, announces that it has been decided to hold Inter-
state tournaments during the coming season as follows:
Charleston, S. C, May 14, 15 and 16. Memphis, Tenn.,
June 4, 5 and 6. Raleigh, N. C, June 25 and 26. Titus-
ville, Pa., July 16, 17 and 18. Brunswick, Me., August
13 and 14. And also at Marietta, Ohio; Xappanee,
Ind.: Lewiston, in., and Haverhill, Mass., but the dates
for these latter places have not been decided upon
as yet.

The trophies won and owned by the Olympic Gun
Club will be shot for by members of the old club in
good standing at the time of joining the new gun club.
This competition, we believe, will be among those
members of the teams who shot for the trophies and
helped to win them. Messrs. Will Golcher, Jaekson
and Forster were appointed a committee to arrange
the program for an early date.

A. M. Shields has offered two valuable cups to be
shot for this season by the Golden Gate and Union Gun
Clubs respectively.

The Golden Gate Club trophy will be contested fe-
at a live bird shoot.

The Union Club prize will go to the winner of a 100-
target race to come off on April 20th.

The exact program for each event will be announced
next week.

The Golden Gate Gun Club will award gold and
silver bars at its regular shoots for both li e bird and
blue rock scores.

At any of the regular club live bird events, a straight
run of fifteen birds will entitle the shooter to a gold
bar. A score of twelve straight will be rewarded
with a silver bar.

At the regular blue rock shoots in the club events a
ran of twenty-five straight will produce a gold bar for
the shooter and a run of fifteen consective breaks will
receive a silver bar decoration.

Empire Gun Club.

The officers elected by the Empire Gun Club for the
ensuing year are the following: James P. Sweeney,
President: W. D. Cullen, Vice-President; J. B. Hauer,
Secretary- Treasurer; J. Peltier, Manager; John H.
Durst, Captain; A. J. Webb, Lieutenant: C. A. Ben-
nett, Sergeant-at-Arms.

The club will open the blue rock season at Alameda
Point on Sunday, March 2d. The club grounds have
been re-arranged and several changes adopted. The
bulkheads will be taken down and the traps placed in
a deeper trench. The targets will be sprung from an
unbroken ground line apparently, thus making the
flight appear as near as possible like the rise of a live
bird from the ground. This new system is now in
vogue at the principal trap shooting resorts East.

The Sweeney record medal contest, the club cham-
pionship medal race and the re-entry classification
money match, both at 25 targets, will be continued
this year, as well as several other trophy events yet to
be announced.

Union Gun Club.

At a club meeting last Friday night the Union Gun
Club decided to shoot this season on the Ingleside trap
shooting grounds. The regular club blue rock shoots
will take place on the third Sunday of each month.

A live bird shoot will be held on July 29th. The
first club shoot at blue rocks will take place on
March 16th.

Eight new members were elected. The annual elec-
tion of officers will take place on the 26th inst. Th9
club trap shooting program for this season will be an-
nounced in a week or two.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

Golden Gate Gun Club.

The consolidation of the Olympic, Lincoln and San
Francisco Gun Clubs was consummated at a joint
meeting on the 14th inst. of members of the three gun
clubs above mentioned.

Preliminary business was transacted, H. B. Hosmer
acting as chairman pro tern and Stanley G. Scovern
secretary pro tern.

The report of the consolidation committee was read
and accepted. A constitution and by-laws submitted
by Messrs. Sweeney, Forster and Haight was read and
adopted after certain changes.

Permanent organization was effected and the follow-
ing officers elected by acclamation for the ensuing year:
H. B. Hosmer, President; George H. T. Jackson, Vice"
President; Stanley G. Scovern, Recording Secretary;
M. O. Feudner, Treasurer; Ed. Wands, Charles H.
Shaw and Edgar L. Forster, Directors.

The club charter will remain open until April 1st, as
an inducement for the enrollment of new members,
who would otherwise have to pay the initiation fee of
S5.00. The dues for membership in the new club will
be $12.00 annually, payable at the rate of S2. 00 monthly
during the trap shooting season.

The Olympic Gun Club, before merging with the
new club, announced its intention of turning over to
the treasury of the amalgamated club its funds, a sum
amounting 'to over $200, which will be applied pro rata
in the payment of dues for about thirty members.

Clarence C. Xaumau, E. E. Drake, of San Francisco,
and Joseph A. Chanslor, of Los Angeles, were elected
to membership.

The name, Golden Gate Gun Club, was adopted for
the new trap shooting club as suggested by the con-
solidation committee.

The Board of Directors were empowered by the con-
stitution and by-laws to arrange the season's shooting
program. The club will probably shoot live birds at
Ingleside on the second Sunday of the month and blue
rocks on the fourth Sunday. The initial club shoots
will take place to-day and to-morrow as announced in
another column.

California Wing Club.

The following schedule of distance handicaps has
been prepared for the club members for this season's
shooting at live birds. This program is subject to
an arbitrary handicap as follows: A straight score in
the club race at 12 birds will place a shooter back one
yard, a miss on the following shoot will keep the
shooter at that particular yard mark. The shooter
will go forward one yard on two misses. The limit of
distances are 26 to 33 yards inclusive.

The club program for the season will be arranged
so that each member who shoots through the monthly
races will shoot at just 100 birds. At each monthly
shoot $50 in cash will be distributed, $20, $15, $10 and
$5 to high guns and also a $25 silver cup. The high
average gun for the season will win a $75 silver cup.

The initial shooting handicaps are: Ed. Donohoe
28 yards, A. R. Jackson 28, Dr. A. M. Barker, 30,
H. Kullman 26, A. Hamilton 28, C. H. Shaw 30,
C. C. Nauman 31, Ed Fay 28, H. C. Golcher 29, Dr. S.
C. Knowles 28, A- Roos 27, C. A. Haight 31, H. Wag-
ner 28, J. V. Coleman 27, Prince Poniatowski27, F. R.
Webster 28, L. D. Owens 28, John B. Coleman 27, P.
McRae 29, A. M. Shields 28, F. Vernon 26, C. M.
Fisher 26, W. H. Williamson 29, H. Justins 28, P.
Walsh 29, W. Gerstle 26, N. H. Neustadter 28,, Dr. E.
McConnell 27, W. J. Golcher 29, M. O. Feudner 31,
J. J. Sweeney 29, E. L. Forster 28, Phil B. Bekeart 29,
G. H. T. Jackson 30, Dr. Birdsall 27.

The club dues and initiation fee were both recently
iucreased to $20 per annum and $20 for each new
member.

Immediately at the close of the recent Hamilton,
Ont., tournament, John S. Fanning returned to New
York. Inasmuch as this is rather an off season of the
year for trap shooting, it is not likely that he will start
out again until about the time of the Great American
Handicap at Kansas City, Mo., the latter part of next
March. In the meantime, he is a frequent visitor at
Interstate park, as well as some of the private clubs,
where he shoots sufficiently to keep his hand in at both
live birds and targets.

During the hunting season, which closed February
1st, the members of the Colusa Gun Club killed a total
of 4117 birds. October was the best montn for birds,
when 1226 ducks and geese were bagged. November
netted them 1172; December 1096; in January the
sport dropped off and only 623 were killed.

Five of the members succeeded in killing their limit
of fifty birds in one day's shoot, the lucky ones being
M. E. Phillips, C. W. Tuttle, George Tibbetts, John
Haugh and E. T. Crane.

C. W. Tuttle carried off the honors for the greatest
number of birds killed for the season with a record of
449. M. E. Phillips comes next with 373; Adolph Ahlf,
339; H. M. Albery, 313: Bud Welch, 246; Morris Jones,
205.

This season far exceeds last as to quantity of birds
and total number killed. Swans have been more plen-
tiful than for years. The above was taken from the
record book kept by the game keeper, William A.
Sweetland.

Captain A. W. Money, the president of the Ameri-
can "E. C." and "Shultze" Gunpowder Company, has
never professed to be very much ot a target shot, but
of late he has been doing some remarkable work. At
one of the recent club shoots of the Crescent Athletic
Club, the Captain broke 121 out of 125, the last few
targets being shot when the light was so dim the
referees had to get down on their knees to be able to
see if a target was broken or not. On January 15th
last, he shot a match with George H. Piercy for the
target championship of New Jersey, and defeated that
well known good target shot by the score of 44 to 36
out of 50, and on Thursday of last week at John
Wright's shoot at the Brooklyn Gun Club, he was the
high gun in a field of fourteen, with a score of 95 in the
100-target event. The Captain is well known as a hard
man to beat in a live bird race, and it is very doubtful
if, with the way he is shooting targets at present, there
is not another man of his age (63 years) who could win
from him in a match at both live birds and targets —
at any rate, if there is any one who would care to try
the game with him, it certainly would not take very
long to get on a match.

caught by a limited number of anglers. Captain
Walker of the Petaluma Gun Club landed ten large
fish one day last week.

On Tuesday last A. M. Gumming and a friend caught
four fine fish, a ten and a half, a nine, five and a half
and a four pound fish. These bass did not make
a very strong fight, the fact of their being full of
milt possibly accounted for it. The fish wera
caught on the outgoing tide, about an hour after
slack water. The slough was muddy and roily,
the water being in very bad condition for fishing.
A visit to the same parts of the slough the follow-
ing day, the tide being an hour later in falling, was
fruitless. The water was muddier, if anything, and
a brisk wind against the tide kicked up quite a sea.
*

Fly-Casting at Stow Lake.

The first meeting at the lakeside of the San Fran-
cisco Fly-Casting Club for the year took place last
Sunday. Sixteen members took part in the different
events. The gathering of the rod wielders was com-
posed of familiar faces, less one, which was noted in
he absence of a congenial comrade, Horace Smyth.
In long distance eight casters put out their silk lines
over the 100 foot mark. H. C. Golcher was in good
fettle with a score of 129 feet, T. W. Brotherton and
J. B. Kenniff we»e sneond and third high men respec-
tively in this event.

The accuracy percentages as a rule were excellent,
considering the several months during which the rods
had been laid by. Carlos G. Young led off with the
splendid record of 96°^, Brotherton and J. S. Turner
being next in line in the order named. K. Charles, a
new member, made the creditable initial score of
76 8-12 in this event.

In the delicacy event, considering the unfavorable
weather conditions, a fair showing was made. Walter
D. Mansfield led the register, closely followed by
Brotherton and H. F. Muller.

Six competitors made up the bait casting squad*
The high cast, 97 1-5, was made by C. R. Kenniff.

The weather was cloudy and a west wind prevailed
during the day. The inclement weather of Saturday
last necessitated the postponement of the first contest
for one week.

The scores made^on Sunday morning were as follows:

Sunday Contest No. 1— Stow Lake, February 16, 1902. Wind,

Striped Bass Notes.

That San Francisco and San Pablo bays and tribu-
tary sloughs and waters are full of striped bass is fully
borne in evidence by the plentiful supply of fish seen
daily on the stalls of the local fish markets. Fish
weighing as much as thirty pounds and over are fairly
numerous. Nearly all the fish taken by rod and line
or in the nets are fat male fish in splendid condition
and of beautiful coloring — the dark hues of the back
and stripes ranging fron deep Dlue black to a lighter
shade of blue on the lower side stripes, the silver and
white of the sides and belly each being bright and
sheeny. All of the male fish are ripe to bursting
with milt. Where the females are and what they are
doing is a mystery for the present.

Many salt water fishermen have been out trolling for
bass recently, but success has not beon of an enthusing
nature. Along the Marin shores a few fish have been
taken, one a nineteen pounder was hooked near Cali-
fornia City this week. Some big fellows have been
netted in Tiburon cove. Observation has proven that
there are plenty of big fish in Raccoon straits.

In San Antonio slough quite a few fish have been

A Glenn County Wild Goose Shoot.

Sportsmen have solace in goose hunting these days
when ducks are plentiful and the season closed a month
earlier than usual. A district where geese, in several
varieties, are found in countless thousands is the hard
adobe pasturage lands, which in a far extending, wide
and level plain can be found in Glenn county surround-
ing Norman, a way station on the railroad, here the
houses, barns and outbuildings are few and far between
and the game and wary birds find plenty of grass ind
sprouting vegetation upon which to feed.

At this place a number of city sportsmen have found
conditions for a day or a week's goose hunting to be
most favorable. Taking the train from the city, for
instance, at 8:30 a. m., the sportsman arrives at Nor-
man about L P. M. Then taking lunch and arraying
himself in hunting suit and gum boots, he will find a
wagon ready to convey him to the selected spot for the
day. The locality in which the hunter will shoot is
determined by the wind and weather conditions — the
guides are men who undei stand the habits of the birds
thoroughly and know where to find them. In the
wagon is placed the guns and shells, twelve bores and
No. 6 shot propelled by smokeless powder is effective
enough, although some shooters fancy ten and eight-
eauge guns with correspondingly larger loads and
heavier shot. With the wagon also goes another essen-
tial factor io^^a sport — nothing less than coops con-
taining as f^ '/ y* forty or more live geese. These
birds were wild and free in their day, but by tea

[February 22, 1902

from time to time and now, wingtipped and incapable
of escape, they are used as living decoys for their con-
geners. And in this respect they are of more effect
than just so many ordinary stalking about or feeding
Uve birds, as they have been carefully trained to call
to flying geese and seduce them into range of the
shooter's deadly hammerless breech-loader.

The plain is dotted here and there with puddles and
ponds, in and about which the geese find vegetable
sustenance. Close to these feeding spots pits have
been dug. These holes are circular and generally
three feet in diameter and three and a half or four feet
deep, the consistency of the hard pan soil making it
an exceedingly laborious task to make the excavations
larger and more comfortable for the gunner._ The
holes are, however, made wider at the bottom circum-
ference than at the top, being in shape somewhat like
an inverted old-fashioned pot. In one of these retreats
the hunter is ensconced. If there happens to be a
puddle of water in the bottom of his blind his gum
boots will keep him dry whilst he is kneeliDg, and to
overcome the effects of a chill from the moisture he pos-
sibly will have in his pocket a proper embrocation,
which is of potency when applied internally.

Whilst the shooter has been getting ready the guide
and wagon driver have not been idling. Stout pens,
made of netting, the meshes of which are fine and
strong linen twine, such as is used for salmon gill nets,
are put up on iron standards. These pens, generallj
four in number, are disposed advantageously around
the shooting holes, into them are quickly placed the
live geese decoys. The nets, secure and strong, are of
so gauzy a character that they are indistinguishable
at no great distance, even to so wary a bird as the
goose.

The shooting location may be a mile or eight miles
from the guides' bouse near the station, as in their
discretion they are led to believe a successful shoot
can be had. Pits for this purpose, in that particular
country, have been excavated at any number of places.

At all events a particular spot has been selected and
reached in proper time for the evening flight of geese,
which there begins at 4 or 4:30 o'clock. When every-
thing is ready, and the hunters in these holes, the
.guide will plump into his own particular pit, and giving
final instruction to the shooter to fire when he gives
the signal words "punch 'em;" the hunters await the
arrival of the birds within range.

Soon the keen eye of the guide discerns a flight of
geese in the distance, then bis practiced throat gives
out call after call; this is taken up by a cadence of
goose talk from the trained live geese in the net
pounds and ere long, on swift and graceful wing comes
a flock, larger or smaller, as the case may be, of
geese, answering back in melodious mingled chorus,
the feat her 'd traitor's seductive notes, until gradually
swinging around in gyrating circles and long sweeps
the birds come within fifteen or twenty yards. The
concealed shooters are crouched down and out of
-sight in their respoctive pits, the only evidence of
occupancy is shown by the muzzles of the death deal-
ing shotguns pointing skywards as they are held in
readiness by the hunter — when "punch 'em" cries the
guide, up bobs a huntea's head, a quick aim and both
barrels belch forth a leaden welcome to the flock of
geese in range, the wary leaders of which could not
discern the presence of man and his cunning artifices
.for "their destruction until too late. But not always too
late, it takes a sure shot and a good judge of flight and-
distance to laud the birds effectively, their speed is de-
ceptive at times to many an old huneer.

When a bird or mure than one goose falls, for the
experienced hunter singles out a particular bird and
does not attempt a flock shot, the guide is out and
after the goose, which is quickly set up on a wire
frame and is then used as a decoy. The larger the
_flock of birds displayed around the shooting pit the
more attractive is that particular spot tu the aerial
caravans of geese. The shooting is kept up until dark,
or if the hunters start out for the morning flight the
hunt is continued until the flight ceases. In all of the
large flocks of geese there is a commingling of several
varieties, the Canada or honker goose, gray geese,
brant and the voluble clyng-clyng flying along ami-
cably together. In the smaller flocks the birds are
generally of one kind. All of them, however, have, !
unless well centered, a remarkable faculty of shedding!;
shot from their feathered sides. . [I

The hunter in his somewhat cramped position mustT>
remain absolutely quiet, any effort of observation or
preliminary curiosity in peeping is entirely out of place.'
The slightest movement or, in fact, any suspicious,
placement of matter foreign to that locality is enoughl
to cause the geese to visit other and more congenial
territory in quick order.

"Even at this, it is marvelous how quickly so large
a bird can sheer out of range of the best gun, just at1
the moment when he seems within certain reach. He1
gets away so gracefully and gently that one cannot1
figure how much he has increased the distance until'
the gun rings out in vain thunder across the plain and!
the frightened flock drifts away on the side with not'
so much as a feather gently whiffling to earth."

As for calling, this is an art and unless practiced by
an expert, is unavailing and the novice will find it'
simply time lost. Three hunters who have the repu-l
-tation of being the best callers in the State are Doc
Stewart, Abe Crump and Claude Kagee, under whose1
auspices Clarence C. Naumann recently enjoved a goose'
hunt at Norman after the fashion detailed'above; the1
total bag for an afternoon shoot counted up 110 geese,'
white and brant, principally the latter.

This method of shooting the largest and wariest ofi
our game birds has the distinction of being practiced
at no other locality in this State. Live decoys are
used by hunters in Oregon and Washington, the!
method of conducting a hunt while it may differ in
local details is however pretty much the same. The
fascination of this particular game has attracted the'
attention of many local sportsmen, some of whom have'
enjoyed the sport at Norman for a week at a time,

Enchanted, or Haunted Lake.

[J. MAYSE BALTIMORE]

Snugly nestled amidst towering, rugged mountains,
away up in the wildest regions of British Columbia,
jremote from the international boundary line, lies a
little lake. But, to the comparative few who are
aware of its existence, it is known as "Enchanted" or
"Haunted" lake. Prom time immemorial the lake
'has borne these appellations among the Indian tribes
'and early trappers and traders.

i The stream which constitutes the lake's only outlet
flows southward and, after devious meanderings, pours
its clear waters into the great Columbia river. This
lake lies remote from the haunts of even sparse civili-
zation, and is reached by a long, narrow, serpentine
trail, which leads over and through a very rough,
mountainous country. On the way up to the lake
magnificent forests are traversed. The sheet is com-
pletely hemmed in except to the south. To the east
and north tower Lookout Mountain; to the west Lake
Mountain lowers and scoffs down on the modest little
lake. Over the water, forests and mountains hangs
an atmosphere of gloom. The entire region seems in-
vested with a touch of mysterious loneliness. About
the lake itself there seems to be a suggestion of the
wierd and uncanny. Not that it lacks any of the ele-
ments of romantic picturesqueness. It is beautiful,
and its rugged environments are grand and inspiring.
But there is, nevertheless, something chilling and
repellant in the very spirit that broods over the scene.
In length Haunted is about one and a quarter miles.
In no place is it wider than one-fourth of a mile. On all
sides it is surrounded with timber, coming down in many
places clear to the lake's margin. The waters are clear
and cold, abounding in fish. About the center of the
lake the water is very deep, almost fathomless. Five or
six hundred feet of line map be run out without touch-
ing bottom. Evidently the source of supply must
come from numerous and large springs. Quite a stream
pours from the lower end of the lake and goes dashing
down the mountains. During the winter, and also in
early summer when the snows mell, Haunted Lake is
several yards higher than at other seasons.

No human being lives about this lake. An old,
tumbledown and decayed log cabin stands near the
eastern shores. But, for long, long years it has been
tenantless. The former occupant is unknown.

For a great many years this lake had been held in
supertitious fear and awe by all the Indian tribes.
They claimed that it was haunted by demons, or evil
spirits. Different legends are connected with this
body of water. Some of the Indians assert that a
great many years ago— probably centuries — a vast
avalanche came down into the lake. At the time a
number of Indian hunters were encamped on tbe lake's
shore. Success had crowned their hunt, and the red
men came down to the lake laden with the spoils of
the chase. They camped near the water, and when
night came on they built great fires. Then they
feasted, sang their wild, weird songs and danced in
mad joy. But. while they thus caroused, suddenly
the face of the full moon was darkened by a huge
black cloud. Deep, rumbling sounds like muffled
peals of thunder came from the bosom of the lake.
The waters seemed greatly perturbed, and from the
forests upon the mountains were wafted strange, min-
gled voices. In superstitious terror the Indians
paused and trembled, thinking they had angered the
Great Spirit. While they thus stood a vast avalanche
I 'came swiftly down the mountain side and swept them
i all into the lake. All perished and no trace of the
| bodies were ever found.

] Another legend asserts that the daughter of a
(.famous chief was murdered by a jealous lover and her
-T body cast into the lake. Then the murderer flung
:i himself into the water and perished. A horrible fish-
g dragon that inhabited the lake devoured the two
jjbodies. There are other ghastly legends, but these
ft two will suffice.

Fromthe time the whites first came intothecountry,
Haunted lake has ever been avoided by the Indians.
They will not eat fish caught in the lake; nor drink
of the water, nor bathe in it. It is rare that an
Indian can be persuaded to even approach the lake.
Under no circumstances can he be prevailed upon to
camp near the shores, or, remain over night there.

They claim that, during the night lights may be
iseen whisking over the surface of the water; that
ghostly forms move over the lake's tranquil bosom;
that groans and wailings come from the deep waters,
and, that unearthly voices seem to be wafted from the
forests. These they claim are the lamentations of the
spirits of those who were lost in the lake.

*******

Haunted lake, notwithstanding its isolation is often
visited by white men. Hunting and prospecting parties
frequently camp on its shores.

The lake is located in the heart of a country abound-
ing in big game. In the deep, yawning canyons, under
the shadow of the solemn forests, and along the sides
and summits of the lofty mountains, the caribon,
silver tip, black and brown bear, deer, cougar and
the big grey and black wolf make their home.

The various streams in that region abound in trout
as do the crystalline waters of the lake. To the
hunter of big game, the ardent angler and the general
lover of Nature in all its wild phases, these regions are
a veritable paradise.

Just what great convulsion of nature originally
created the lake is a mystery. In the center, the lake
is very deep — almost fathomless but the waters are
exceedingly clear. Objects may be seen to a great
depth with startling vividness. About the middle of
thi« lake is a submerged island.

Persons in crossing the sheet assert that large trees
and rocks can be seen at a great depth. These trees
are standing upright in the water and the tops are a
long distance below the surface of the lake. How long
I

this submerged forest has thus stood, is a mystery.
Certainly, for a great many years.

The bark has long since slipped away from the
trunks and branches of the trees. Both the trunks
and branches are white, probably caused by the action
of the water. Through the watery medium, the
forest looks wierd and distorted — ghostly.

Many persons are inclined to think that this "sub-
terranean island" was caused by a vast landslide. For
this reason, they are inclined to attach credence to
the Indian legend.

However, much of the story must be received with
grave doubt. Those who camp along the glistening
shores of this beautiful lake, bathe and fish in its pel-
lucid waters, and they who hunt in those regions Bee no
nocturnal lights, or, ghostly forms floating over the
lake's glossy surface.

But, it is claimed by some who have passed the
night hy the lake, that there are strange rumbling
sounds coming from the deep waters, and peculiar
cadences from the forest-clad mountains. At intervals,
the waters are disturbed.

However, the superstitious theories of the redman
are laughed at. The noises from tbe lake, and the
occasional agitation are attributed to some subter-
ranean inlet or outlet, and the supposed mountain
voices are due to the winds sweeping through the
forests and producing a wierd, dirge-like melody.

There are rich mineral deposits in the mountains
around Haunted lake, and recently some important
discoveries have been made.

WHERE BIG GAME ABOUNDS.

Mountains and Plains ot New Mexico are a
Paradise for Hunters.

Some of the principal game authorities of this coun-
try claim that the wild mountainous region — north and
south of the Santa Fe railroad for miles and miles, all
the way from Williams, A. T., to Las Vegas, N. M.—
is at this time the most satisfactory game preserve left
in the whole west. Mr. Henry G. Tinsley writing from
Gallup. N. M., last October, gives the following account
of what sportsmen were doing in that vicinity last
autumn and incidentally adds some natural history
data of interest:

All the topographical and climatic conditions of this
region are particularly adapted to the preservation
and increase of wild animal and bird life. The enor-
mous canyons that seam the great Rocky range abound
in vegetable life and furnish food and solitary homes
for a vast variety of animals and birds. The pine
forests, untouched by man until thirty or forty years
ago, on the upper mountain sides are exactly the locali-
ties for big, furry game. The pine pinons and the
mast, so dear to bruin's palate, are all there. The
green valleys, where water runs among the mountains,
are ideal spots for elk and deer. The lonely crags and
solitary caverns are the very homes for lynx and cou-
gars. The valleys of Mexican grass, with steep walls
of granite all about, are the favorite abodes of Rocky
mountain sheep, and the lower mountainsides, where
the wild honey bee flourishes, and where berries and
succulent herbs grow abundantly, is a region where
the black bear and coyote find existence according to
their liking.

From Raton, N. M., to Flagstaff, A. T., in the
mountains that rise above one another and sprawl over
thousands of square miles, one may find in marvelous
abundance seventeen varieties of furry game, ranging
from 1500-pound grizzly bears and 1200-pound wapiti
down to jackrabbits and gray squirrels. Besides,
there are almost as many varieties of feathered game,
Irom sixteen-pound turkeys to delicious mountain
quail. The mountain streams, seldom fished in by the
people of this region, overwhelmed as they are by a
superabundance of shooting, are alive with trout of
varieties most highly prized by anglers. The drivers
on the stages to the lumber and mining camps say that
they have pointed out to the passengers several deer,
a catamount, a mountain goat, besides dozens of varie-
ties of game birds, on every trip this season. Last
September a young man tourist on his way to the
Grand canyon stood in the seat of the covered stage
wagon and shot a deer a quarter of a mile away. He
postponed further journey to the canyon and went
back to Flagstaff, rejoicing in his first capture of game
bigger than a squirrel.

Further away to the west, over among the foothills
that fringe the base of the San Francisco mountains,
the cowboys frequently see black and br^wn bears —
once in a long while a grizzly. A few weeks prior the
locomotive of an overland express ran into two black
bears near Williams, and once in a while a deer is
thrown from the track by a locomotive cowcatcher.
The very sparse population in the thousands of square
miles of northern Arizona have not killed off in any
year more than a small part of the natural increase of
game of this region. The comparatively inaccessible
mountain canyons, the rugged mountain sides and the
pretty little valleys away off, sixty and seventy miles
from any habitation, are all conducive to keeping this
part of the territory a most prolific game preserve for
many years to come. —

While there is never a day in the whole year that
game worthy of any hunter's ambition cannot be had
in almost any locality in northern Arizona, the season
from about the middle of October to the middle of
January is by long odds the best for all-round shoot-
ing. There is then a light fall of snow in the higher
mountains. The grass is greener on the lower mount-
ain sides than at any time. The atmosphere is clear,
keen and frosty, and one can discern objects forty
miles away as easily as in one-tenth that distance in
the Eastern States. The feathered and furry game
are at their best, and he must be most dextrous and
quick witted who goes a-hunting successfully at this
season. The light, dry air of the mountains, spiced
with the odor of great areas of pine and hemlock for-

ests, begets an astonishing- appetite for every one.
Dyspeptics forget that they have stomachs. Then,
too, there is an abundance of good forage grass, and
springs bubbling with water at this season. These are
essential to the hunting parties that must travel about
in| wagons and on horseback after they quit the railroad.
Lord of all the brute creation — the grizzly bear, the
ursus ferox — may be hunted in the southern spurs of
the Rockies almost as successfully as in the Klamaths
and Modocs of northern California. He is slightly
smaller than his California prototype, but he lacks
nothing of his famous cousin's ferocity and strength.
Here in New Mexico there probably now remain as
many chances to hunt grizzly bears as anywhere in
the world. Indeed, the man who comes to try his
hand at shooting grizzlies is warmly welcomed by the
stockmen, who lose heads of beef every year from
predatory bears. The hunter who wants to shoot a
grizzly must go into the higher mountain ranges, and
must expect to do some hard work before finding his
game. Bands of sheep are driven into the mountains
to graze, and the bears frequently raid the sheep
camps at night. By following the sheep and watching
near the huddled band at night one can be moderately
sure of getting a shot at one of the big beasts. One
day last September two cowboys were coming over
the Santa Maria mountains in San Bernalillo county,
and they saw seven grizzly bears lying asleep in the
chaparral, where they had feasted on a steer's carcass.
But the danger of shooting into such a bunch of
bears was too much for the cowboys, who dug their
spurs into their broncos and rode swiftly away down
the trail from the scene.

The vitality of the grizzly must be taken into ac-
count by the hnnter, for by ignoring or underestimat-
ing that he may get himself into a bad scrape. A
shot through the beast's body, not touching the heart
or spinal cord, will only arouse his anger and not
disable him at all, and unless the hunter has steady
nerves and confidence in his ability to put a bullet
exactly where he wants it to go, he should not tackle
a grizzly alone upon anything like even terms. Let
him especially beware of shooting at a bear that is
above him upon a hillside. His best plan is to get up
a tree and do his shooting from a safe perch. It is
next to useless to ittempt to still-hunt bears of any
sort, as their sense of hearing and smell are very
acute and they have no indiscreet curiosity. A cool,
steady rifleman, who does not get rattled in a hot
corner, can get the best of a grizzly with a good
repeating rifle of heavy caliber. The 45-90 is an
effective weapon at all ranges, and the 50-110 express
is good at short range. The best place for a bullet
is just at the butt of the grizzly's ear, and that is
about the only head shot that can be relied upon to
reach the brain. A line shot accurately planted in
the spine will drop Caleb in his tracks, and, if he is
charging, abullet in what a butchercalls the "sticking
place" will stop him. A shot behind the shoulder, if
planted low enough to reach the heart, may do the
work, but it is not sure to kill instantly, ffiith a ball
through the lungs a grizzly can make a long and ugly
fight, and a shot ohrough his stomach is worse thsn
no shot at all.

Many sportsmen who come out to the territories for
big game are satisfied with hunting black bears that
are many times more numerous than grizzlies. Over
in the Raton mountains one week last August a party
of Chicago hunters got nine black bears, besides deer
and a lot of feathered game. The driver of the San
Mateo_ stage out of Santa Pe shot three black bears in
one trip last year, and he made every shot from the
seat of the stage. The cowboys say that bullets and
strychinine have made the black bear unusually wary
of human beings, but that away back in the canyons
and gulches where there are berries and honey the
Ursus Americauus is as numerous in Northern Mexico
and Arizona as he ever was. The best record of bear
killing in this region during the last dozen years was
that made by a party of Santa Pe railroad and profes-
sional men who were out here from St. Louis and
Kansas City in 1897. They had fine guides and rare
luck. In five days they got eleven bears and over
twenty antelope. The black bear is a timid animal
and formidable only at close quarters, when he has
been wounded and can't get away. "When he is hurt
he hides in the thickest patch of brush he can find,
and if the hunter has no dogs, but has as much sense
as a clam, he will let the bear stay in the brush and
lick his wounds in peace. Wounded, bruin is not
likely to leave much choice to the man who hurt him.
It is a case of fight or get up a tree, and it is better to
fight and settle it one way or the other, for if you tree
he will be up after you if he can.

The timidity and wariness of the black bear make it
very difficult to stalk or still-hunt him, although at
times he becomes so much preoccupied in his search
for ants and grubs that he does not observe the ap-
proach of a man from the leeward quarter. Being a
lazy brute, he dislikes rough traveling, and is much
addicted to walking in roads and trails, where he is
more likely to be met by chance than he is among the
rocks and thickets. Last summer while a hnnter was
riding over the trail from Fort Castle to Rincon, he
counted the tracks of thirteen bears in the road in a
stretch of twenty miles, and none of the tracks were
more than three days old.

Black bears can be found almost anywhere in the
mountains, and in the winter they come down to the
lower line of the snow belt and prowl about near the
ranches. In the very heavy timber it is difficult to
still-hunt the bear successfully, and a pack of dogs is
almost indispensable. Where the country is compara-
tively open and free from underbrush the careful still-
hunter may sometimes get a shot at a bear. In the
fall of the year the black bear feasts on acorns and
berries, and may be found in manzanita thickets or
under oak trees on the hillsides fattening himself for
the winter. In the sugar-pine forests he frequents the
sunny points and spurs of ridges in the afternoon when
the sun is low, and tears apart the big cones that strew
the ground to get the toothsome pine nuts within, and
if approached cautiously and with due regard to the
direction of the wind he may be surprised at his feast.

There are few spots where elk may be hunted nowa.

days in the United States, and the mountains fifty
miles northward from Las Vegas comprise one of the
spots. Last fall seven elk were shot in the San Gor-
gonio mountains, and the mountain trappers and
guides say there are a dozen elk born over that way
every year. The comparative inaccessibility of the
locality where the elk range is the reason of the pros
ervation of the mighty animals. There is good reason
to believe that Arizona and New Mexico will have elk
left many yoars after their tribe has been wiped from
the face of the earth in other parts of the Union. No
nobler animal ever roamed tho American continent
for the sportsman than the mountain elk. It requires
days of hard climbing, and the hunter will have aching
arms and legs, for the journey to the ranges of the elk
cannot be made all the way in a wagon. In the coldest
winter weather on the mountains the elk go in small
droves into the lower and warmer mountains. The
cowboys and Indians find the greatest hunting excite-
ment in shooting elk, and they have made sad inroads
into the herds that once numbered 2000 and 3000 each.
When former Senator Don Cameron of Pennsylvania
and a party of friends were out here in 1887 they got
a dozen elk apiece in a few days' hunting. In those
days it was no trick at all for a quick-witted man with
a 45-calibre repeating rifle to rise suddenly from con-
cealment in a clump of cedars and pump lead into five
or six elk before the band could get outof range.

The abundance of deer in all the mountains of New
Mexico and Arizona is a notable fact. Many hunters
of large experience say that the deer of the southern
Rocky mountains are the finest game of the deer
family in America. There are three varieties in this
region — the Cervus Macrotus, or mule deer; Cervus
Columbianus, or Columbia black -tailed deer, and Cer-
vus Virginianus, or common Virginia deer. The mule
deer gets its name from its enormous ears. It is larger
than the common deer anl of coarser build. The
summer coat is pale yellow in color and this is replaced
in the fall by a short black coat which rapidly fades to
gray. In the forehead is usually a dark line in the
shape of a horseshoe, toe downward. The tail is short,
round, white, terminating with a tuft of long black
hairs. The under side of the tail is naked, a peculiar-
ity found in no other species of deer. The gait of the
mule deer is not graceful. It is neither a run nor a
leap, but a series of bounds, all the feet leaving and
striking the ground together, like those of a bucking
mule.

The mule deer is found in all parts of the territory,
in the high mountains and in the valleys, and where
seldom hunted is not very shy. To hunt mule deer
successfully one must be a careful stalker and a good
snap shot, for where they are much pursued they be-
come very wary, and wheu they are jumped they run
out of hearing and sight without stopping. The mule
deer is not as gregarious as some other species, and is
seldom found in bands. He feeds at the first dawn of
day and then retires to some higher ground and lies
down in some secluded thicket. To get a standing
shot the hunter should go to the feeding ground be-
fore daylight and hide where the deer can neither see
nor scent him. After the feeding hour he may follow
the deer to their lairs in the brush, but he will not see
them lying down. Let him walk slowly along, listen-
ing intently for the sound of any movement in the
brush. Just after passing a dense thicket he hears a
thump and a crash, and, wheeling around with rifle
ready, he catches sight of a deer bounding through
the brush. Up goes the rifle and almost instantly the
shut is fired. Perhaps the deer's heels go over his
head and the hunter has venison for dinner, but it is
singularly easy to miss a jumping deer.

The Columbia deer is found in the northern and
cooler localities. It is smaller than the mule deer,
more trim and graceful of build, but plenty large to
afford the best of sport. Its ears are not so abnor-
mally large, its head and nose more delicate. Pictures
of this deer in action show none of the horse action of
the artists' deer copied from the old pictures of the
English deer. They also wear deer horns instead of
elk horns, which point backward, and they actually
have the horns starting from the forehead in front of
the ears instead of from the back of the neck behind
them.

The Virginia deer is about the size of the Columbia
deer, with longer legs and body, head lean and slim,
nose pointed and naked, ear small, neck long and slen-
der, eyes large and lustrous, tail iong, lanceolate and
edged with white. The antlers project backward and
outward from the head, and then curve sharply for-
ward, the tines projecting from the rear side of the
beam. The antlers of this species cannot be mistaken
for any other. The summer coat varies from red to
buff yellow, and the winter coat is leaden gray, greatly
variant in sliade, and called "the blue" by hunters.

The Virginia deer is equally at home on mountain
or plain, in the forest or on the prairie, in swamp or
on the desert, and is found in every state and terri-
tory. The man who circumvents a wise old Virginia
buck on a still hunt earns his venison, but after fairly
earning the meat he is not always sure of getting it,
for this deer will run further and faster with a mortal
wound than any other. If wounded, a Virginia deer
drops his flag and carries it pendant, and if badly hurt
he switches it from side to side.

Sportsmen who wish to know the thrilling experi-
ences of panther hunting may have their fill and with
comparatively little hard work or much travel in these
territories. Panthers like those one reads about in
the thrilling tales of the frontier hunter's experiences
in the early days of the Republic are still in this region
in their pristine ugliness and strength. The man who
wishes to know how true are the legends of the cour-
age of his panther-fighting forefathers should spend a
few weeks in the canyons and forests remote from any
community out here. Before the days of herds of
cattle and flocks of sheep the panthers lived off deer,
squirrels and antelope. Now they feast on an occa-
sional calf and frequently a sheep.

The panthers are rarelj aggressive, but when
wounded, treed or cornered they are the fiercest of
American beasts. The Arizona and New Mexican
panthers are large, heavy animals. Even the dare-
devil cowboys, who love to pump lead into a panther,

are always wary about going beneath trees and in the
shadow of a boulder when searching for a panther's
lair. Many stories are current in the territories about
panthers leaping on hunters from an elevated place
and tearing their faces and chests into gory shreds.
Nearly every cowboy has had a lively experience with
panthers and wildcats at night on the range, and the
skins of both these varieties of animals are as common
about the log cabins and cowboy ranch homes as coon
skins were in Indiana forty years ago.

Closely allied to the panther is the cougar, or felis
concolor. There are thousands of them in the terri-
tories. Puma is the name given to the animal in South
America, and mountain lion, American lion and Cali-
fornia lion are commonly accepted names in the United
States, west of the Mississippi. Cougar is of Louisiana-
French, origin, and is given preference by naturalists
because it is distinctive and does not cause confusion
of meaning, as do the names "panther" and "lion"
when appled to an animal that is not a panther and
doe-* not resemble a lion. In color only does the cougar
bear any resemblance to the lion. The body is long
and slender, legs short and stout, the head small and
cat-like, and tail very long. The body color is tawny,
shading almost to white on the belly and inside the
legs. The cougar is a very powerful, active creature,
and if his belligerency equaled his strength he would
be a most dangerous animal to encounter. But, as a
rule, the cougar is not disposed to make unprovoked
attacks upon man, and will slink out of the way when
anybody approaches his lair. The female, however,
will fight fiercely for her young, and a cougar disturbed
at a meal will stubbornly maintain his right to his prey.
The cougar hunts by day or by night, and he has a
disquieting habit of following lonely travelers in the
dark along mountain trails and roads, although no
one ever heard of an attack upon a man by nigbt by
one of these animals. The ignorant Mexicans believe
that the cougar likes human company at night and
trots along near the man just for sociability. Although
able to whip a dog with ease, the cougar fears dogs,
and can be treed by any yapping kiocdle that has the
audacity to run after him. At sight of a man, how-
ever, the cougar forgets the lesser danger and will
leap from a tree into the middle of a pack of hounds
and scatter them with blows from bis awful paws. If
a hunter wants to save his dogs he will shoot at a treed
cougar as soon as he is within range.

With the coming of autumn the sportsman who has
no liking for startling experiences and the excitement
of Dagging big game finds a deal of satisfaction in this
region in hunting such small, furry game as rabbits and
squirrels. These animals are then at their best. A
dozen years ago rabbits were so plentiful all over this
region that they were not considered game. There
are thousands left. The man who is a quick and mod-
erately sure shot can have much sport in the fall days
with a gun or rifle and several Greyhounds out among
the foothills of northern New Mexico. There are two
varieties of rabbits, the jackrabbit or the common hare
of the Eastern States, and the cottontail, a little fellow
with much more toothsome flesh. The jackrabbit is a
wonder in locomotion. It is shod with the wind. It
goes over a plain in leaps of eight and even twenty
feet. Too cunning he has become for the shotgun,
unless you catch him in the brush taking his siesta,
when he may be a little careless, but when one tries a
favorite rifle on him and sees bullet after bullet send
the dust aloft in a shower behind his fleeting form, one
will think even the rifle too slow.

If the camp of sportsmen is pitched among the pine
trees on a lofty mountain side out here, it will be easy
to wander forth almost anywhere to find squirrel game.
The gray squirrel of the west is one of the finest of
his race. He has almost disappeared from the Eastern
States, and he is as saucy, suspicious and tricky as his
Eastern cousins used to be. He makes a fine stew and
a delicate fricassee, although he lives in the west more
on pine cones and acorns than on nuts that are
supposed to improve his flavor. Fine shooting for the
rifle he makes in the big pines, where his head is one
of the best of marks.

By no means least in the list of game in the ter-
ritories, to the mind of a hungry sportsman, is the
wild turkey. Time was when the wild turkey was to
be found all over the East, and it was not so long ago but
some middle-aged readers of this story will remember
when they invariably went out in November to kill a
wild turkey for the Thanksgiving dinner. It is hardly
worth the while to come to New Mexico to kill wild
turkeys, but the sportsman who seeks other game
will be glad to see the flocks that occasionally come
down the mountain side at sunset for a drink in the
brook beside which he has camped.

The rivers of this region are small affairs compared
with the water-courses of the eastern states, but they
are the stopping places of many ducks in the migrat-
ing season. The blue-winged teal is said to be most
abundant of all, but the gorgeous wood duck and the
loud-voiced mallard will be found in the bag after a
day's hunt in October or later, nor will geese be
missing. Duck shooting in a region like this, on a
desert so to speak, is sport of a most enjoyable novelty,
especially to men who have done their wild fowling
about the great South bay, the Delaware, the Al-
bemarle or the regions of the Great Lakes where wide-
open waters are found. To look for ducks on a desert
seems as out of place as looking for partridges on
snipe ground.

Two varieties of geese are known here, the honker
and the brant. They come in countless numbers and
stop for days at a time in their migration southward.
The cowboys find more delight in wild goose shooting
than in any other sport except wildcat shooting. The
cattlemen say they plan to have the branding season
over and the hard work of the year finished before
November sets in, because of the general demoraliza-
tion of the business on the ranges when the "Honk!
Honk!" of the wild flocks of geese is heard coming
over the mountain peaks. About all the Sunday feasts
and especially the Thanksgiving dinner in the cattle
camps is made off wild geese and turkeys. — LosAngeks

Line Breeding.

The process of breeding within the
members of one family or of a limited
number of families possessed of similar
types, is called line breeding. It gives
uniformity of tvpe, but must not be car-
ried too far. It is desirable to intensify
good qualities, but not defects. "We quote
Professor Thomas Shaw :

"Illustrations of long-continued line
breeding are furnished 'n the various
herds of wild cattle sheltered by certain
parks in Great Britain during the past
century. While at the beginning of the
century there were at least seven herds,
now more than half the number are gone,
and their total extinction in the not dis-
tant future is by no means impossible
It would seem peculiarly fortunate that
illustrations of this question are furnished
by herds which cover so long a period.
Some of them have been kept within the
inclosed grounds of certain noblemen for
more than 500 years. The most famous
of these herds, viz., that of Chillingham
park, has been line bred for more than
700 years. These wild or semi-wild cattle
have been bred under circumstances the
most favorable to successful line breeding
that could be imagined. The continuity
of Bameness in blood lines has not been
disturbed by outcrosses. The breeding
has been from the most vigorous sires, as
each in turn secured the mastery of the
herd. The exemption from the enervating
influences of domestication was most com"
plete, since they were not confined. They
were also supplied with food when neces-
sary in winter. And yet, from natural
causes, these herds are gradually waning
in numbers, insomuch that it is feared
that the extinction of those that yet sur-
vive is only a question of time."

The line breeder of to-day may well
contend that he is not looking five cen-
turies forward, and yet the results of long
continued inbreeding will not be disrc"
garded by the intelligent. When weak-
ness begins to develop in the herd, a vig
orous outcross must be sought. Uniform
ity is desirable, but not at the cxpL'ii.-e of
robust qualities.

Successful Beet Raising.

The total output of sugar for the season
is about 60,000,000 pounds, which, at the
present quoted wholesale prioe of 3,5s
cents a pound, amounts to $2,175,000.

About 300 men have been employed at
the factory during the run, and 100 will
be kept busy cleaning and putting the
machinery in order for the next campaign.

Animal Industry Course by Mail.

A reading course on animal and dairy
husbandry is planned for the benefit of
California farmers by Instructor Leroy
Anderson, of the College of Agriculture,
and Dr. Archibald E. Ward, the Univer-
sity's veterinarian. The course is to be
carried on by mail, and if funds become
available special lessons will be prepared
treating of all the topics from the peculiar

standpoint of California conditions. For
the present the basis of the course will be
the textbooKS and bulletins of the agri-
cultural experiment stations. The text-
books will have to be purchased, but the
bulletins will be sent free to all who en-
roll. Four lines of study are proposed :
Cattle, breeds and breeding; feeding farm
animals ; dairying and dairy bacteriology,
comprising the study of milk and milk
testing and the manufacture of milk
products; infectious diseases of farm ani-
mals. On the completion of the course
the student is to notify Instructor Ander-
son that he is ready for the examination,
when a list of questions will be sent him
to he answered. Students are expected to
finish one course before beginning another.
Any person interested can enroll by ad-
dressing Instructor Anderson, Berkeley,

The last load of beets fur the B=-a:-oti
arrived at the Spreckels f«.ctory at 5:o0

o'clock p. m., Monday, January 6ih, having
come over the narrow gauge rai'roml in in
the Aloro Cojoranch, says a Salinas paper.
The slicing was finished at 12 o'clock lust
night, and four or five days more will be
consumed in manufacturing the sugar
from the juice and syrup on hand.

This closes what is supposed to be the
most successful beet growing and sugar
making campaign ever known in this or
any other State. They commenced receiv-
ing beets at the factory on the 26th of
August and slicing began September 15th,
from which date the big mill has been
running almost withoutinterruption down
to the present time — 125 days.

The total number of tons of beets sliced
is 251,322 tons, received from the following
localities: From SalinaB Valley, 141,280
tons; Pajaro Valley, 85.910 tons; San Be-
nito county (principally San Juan Valley),
27.620 tons; Santa Clara Valley. 16,512
tons. Sixty-five thousand tons were raised
on land in the immediate vicinity of the
factory.

The grand total of 271,322 tons at $4.50
per ton, the price paid for the beets de-
livered at the factory, amounts to one
million three hundred and ten thousand
nine hundred and forty-nine dollars
($1,310,949), which has been distributed
am >ng the "beet growers tributary to the

and from him lists of the books and bulle-

Farmers make a big mistake when they
send small mares to a ton draft horse
with the expectation of the produce being
large enough for draft purposes.

More large horses result from breeding
small stallions to big mares than in cross-
ing the other way. There are some small
mares and some small horses that "breed
big" but they are exceptions to the
general rule. When Bending mares to a
draft stallion pick out your large ones
and those that have come from ancestors
that have size.

American Merinos.

The present season promises much for
the wool owner and for the grower, too, if
he does not sacrifice his product to the
marketmen. "Wool is in good demand,
and prices are likely to be well maintain-
ed. Once more it will be demonstrated
'hat the American Merino sheep ia one of
the most profitable breeds that can be
raised in- this country. The American
Merino for wopl cannot be surpassed for
the American farmer, provided he uses
care and intelligence in breeding and
handling his -flock r There is a great
difference in this breed. The individuals
run all the way from the poor scrubs up
to the finest pedigreed animals. Con-
sequently it is more necessary than usual
in selecting stock to see that the individ-
uals represent the highest of breed. The
ideal, well-bred American Merino is of ap-
proved pedigree, with strong individuality,
with the body will set and strong, and
with all parts covered with a thick, heavy,
even fleece of good length of staple. The
under fleece should particularly show
fine quality and uniform growth The
animal which has very oily fleece is apt
to be less robust and sturdy than another,
for the oil is produced in quantities at
the animal's expense of general health.

American Merinos with these qualities
well emphasized should form the founda-
tion for a good flock. Then with them
one has but to show fair intelligence in
feeding and in keeping up the breed by
the selectionof good rams. The ewes of
this breed when raised for wool should
not average more than 103 to 125 pounds
apiece. Heavier ewes are not apt to pro-
duce as good a supply of wool. The rams
should not average more than 150 to 175
pounds. High feeding of rich food may
fatten either up, so that they will run
heavier, but a good deal of the food will
go to producing extra quantities of unnec-
essary oil This is undesirable ''from any
point of view. "When it happens, reduce
the richness of the food, and in selecting
eweB for future breeding, discriminate
against these which show this inclination.

With such sheep on hand and properly
kept, the yield of wool should average
from eighteen to twenty-four pounds for
the ewes, and from twenty-eight to thirty-
five pounds for the rams. This average
can easily be kept up from year to year,
and if the wool is good, long staple it will
net a good profit from each animal. Good
wool is always1 the most profitable and
particularly so in Merino wool. Prices
for this are very irregular: showing a wide
range in valuation. The poorest brin:
such small returns that there is very little
profit but the highest makes success in-
evitable. E. P. Smith.

Removing Odors From Milk.

Many of the odors that affect milk and
cream are exceedingly volatile or evapo-
rate quickly if the milk is quickly cooled
and is exposed to the air in a thin sheet)
as it is in the aerator, where it runs out
over cold pipes or through a cold air in a
slow flow of thin stream or drops, says
American Cultivator. This includes the
odors from weeds, even the wild garlic,
which is more powerfully scented than
the onion, the odors from cabbage and
turnips and the stable odors, which can-
not always well be avoided, when the
cattle are milked in the barn. We say
they cannot be avoided, because in many
barns there is a cellar filled with decom-
posing manure and in those of older con-
struction a deposit of liquids below the
floor, so that it is almost if not qnite im-
possible to prevent the air from having
some part of the odor from below. In
such cases the only remedy is the aerator,
so placed that it will premit these odors
to pass off and not allow it to acquire new
ones. We say the only way. although a
new stable with cement floor, kept clean
by brushing and washing each day, might
prove more effective if every farmer could
afford to take such a radical measure.

Meet Your Friends
at the Palace Hotel

Tourists and Travelers who
make the Palace their headquar-
ters are surrounded with conve-
niences and comforts such as are
not obtainable in any other hotel
in the West. Off the court are
the grill rooms, telegraph and
telephone offices, writing rooms,
barber shop, billiard parlor, car-
riage office, book stand and type-
writer offices.

On one side of this immense
hotel — the largest in the world —
is the wholesale and manufactur-
ing district; on the other thea-
tres, retail stores, clubs, railroad
offices, banks and newspaper
buildings.

Street cars to all parts of the
city — depots, ferries, Cliff House
and parks — pass the entrance.

American Plan.

European Plan

A smooth farmer went to Chicago the
other day with two jags of farm-raised
steers that fooled the wisest of them be-
cause be had used an Angus sire in his
herd of JerseyB. They averaged 70 ) pounds
and brought five cents. All but one were
polled and betrayed no evidence of Jersey
anceBtry. After the sale he astounded
the buyer by disclosing the secret and at
first could not secure credence for his
statement. Similar tests with Shorthorn
sires have so far failed to remove the
brown muzzle of the Jersey and buyers
never fail to discriminate against cattle
showing the milk strain. On this account
the black-beef breeds may have a wide
sphere of usefulness among dairy stock-
men who would like to steer their calves.

Sugar-beet pulp may be valuable as a
beef ration and if it has any particulor
merits in this line we want to know it A
certain bunch of cows running on beet
fields and stalk field gained 220 pounds in
ninety days, Ia'another instance ninetv-
three head cf heifers which were given
the beet and stalk fields for two months
and eight days gained 218 pounds weighed
in and ]6ut.

Soda lemonade and be refreshed.

AMATEURS

who wish to improve their average at the trap, or
increase their bag of game, are advised to try

BALLISTITE

as it gives the Lightest Recoil with the Highest Velocity and Lowest Breech and
Barrel Pressure of all Powders. BALLISTITE'S extreme high velocity does away
with the vexing question of "Lead." "Just hold on and you score," writes our
enthusiast. BALLISTITE is Absolutely Smokeless, Odorless, Non-Fouling, Leaves
No Residue and Never Pits nor Corrodes the Barrel.

Cartridges loaded with BALLISTITE can be obtained from the leading
Cartridge Companies, Gun and Ammunition Dealers, or the Sole Agents.

Walter Winans

Vice President of the National
Rifle Association of Great Britain

makes the following" statement in his recent book,
"Art of Revolver Shooting-."

The U. M. C. Co., tJ. S. A., have supplied me with large quantities of .44
gallery ammunition loaded with both round and semi-round bullets.

These have a small charge of black powder, and I should prefer this
ammunition for self-defense as well as for competition up to 20 yards, as I
find it the most accurate for exhibition shooting-.

I think the U. M. C. gives slightly less recoil and fewer " unaccount-
ables" than the English equivalent.

They also load these cartridges with smokeless powder, which I have used and
with which I have made my bests on record in the rapid fire competition.

Send for new U. M. C. illustrated catalogues for further information concerning these modern

Short Range or Gallery Cartridges, which are coming into wide use among

experts and others. Game Laws and Shooting Records Free.

rHE DIRECTORS of the Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeders Association met on Thursday of
Ms week and decided not to accept the proposition of
he Eureka, Humboldt county, people to hold a meet-
ng there during the week of July 4th, this year. The
San Jose people District Fair association have already
slaimed that week, and then the Board considered the
ime too early in the year to get any number of first
flass horses to make the trip by ocean to Eureka.
Phe Eureka citizens made a very generous offer to the
?. C. T. H. B. A., which was appreciated by that
)rganization, but owing to the conflict in dates and
;he objections to the ocean trip necessary to land
lorses at Eureka, it was deemed best to decline the
)ffer with thanks and select some other date for the
3reeders meeting. Many members of the Breeders
issociation incline to the opinion that this organization
should hold its principal meeting each year after the
5tate Fair, rather than so early. They think it would
mit owners and trainers better, as the P. C. T. H. B.
k. always gives large purses and they believe the in-
serest would be greater were they trotted and paced
'or later instead at the opening of the racing season,
is has been the custom for several years.

pOLORADO'S RACING CIRCUIT comprises four
^-* meetings this year and there is an aggregate of
S60, 900 hung up for horses to compete for. The cir-
:uit will open at Trinidad May 27th, thence to Pueblo
fune 3d, thence to Colorado Springs the following

week and the wind up will be at Overland Park,
Denver, beginning June 21st and closing July 5th.
The purses range from $150 to $500 at Trinidad, are
the same at Pueblo, Colorado Springs gives purses
from $250 to $600, and at Denver the purses are from
$500 to $1000. All the particulars in regard to this
circuit, dates of closing, etc. will be found in a big dis-
play advertisement which appears in our columns to-
day. Every horse owner and trainer that goes east
should take in this circuit as there is an opportunity
to earn money and get the horses accustomed to
racing before meeting the fast ones beyond the
mountains. The tracks on this circuit have all been
put in good shape for this years racing, especially
those at Colorado Springs and Denver which have
been re-soiled. The Denver grounds have had a large
amount of money spent on them in improvements and
Overland Park is now thoroughly up-to-date in every
respect. A good feature of the Colorado circuit adver-
tisement is that the program of each week is given as
it will be held and those making entries can tell just
what days their classes will come on. There will be
several California strings go east this year and we
hope they will all make entries in the Colorado circuit.

CEVERAL RICH STAKES will be run off at the
^ New California Jockey Club's track at Oakland
this month, the Derby being set down for to-day, the
Thoruton Stakes, four miles for the 15th inst., and
the Western Produce Stakes for the 28th. The last
named is for two year olds and is the richest stake for
horses of "that age that has ever been given in
California. It was originated by the Western Turf
Association before that organization sold out to the
C. J. C. The distance is five furlongs. The first pay
ment, which was $5, had 136 nominations, or $680;
second payment of $25 had 69, or $1725, and 18 made
the final payment of $75 each, or $1350; making the
gross value of the stake $8755; thus ranking second to
the Burns Handicap itself. There is to be $125
additional paid by each starter and it is probable that
ten or a dozen colts will go to the post. If ten starters
face the flag, the stake will be worth $5 over $10,000
which is the amount of the Burns Handicap, the
richest stake on the coast to date. Of the 18 that
have made final payment and are eligible, E. J. Bald,
win has three; Elmwood Stock Farm, two; W. O'B.
Macdonough, two; A. B. Spreckels, two; Burns and
Waterhouse, 4 (including Altanan and Thaddeus);
Barney Schreiber, two (including Sylvia Talbot and
Deutschland). W. B. Sink is represented by The Fog;
Dr. Rowell by The Phantom, and the Montana Stable
by Chiffonier. All four of the Burns and Waterhouse
entries are by the stallion Altamax. Horsemen and
racegoers generally will certainly look forward with
interest to the decision of this rich stake.

READVILLE, that famous track near Boston, has a
great attraction for horsemen. When Readville
is mentioned, big purses, great contests and champion
trotters and pacers are brought to mind. The New
England Trotting Horse Breeders Association, one of
the mainstays of the harness horse business holds its
meetings there and each year presents a program that
is a sensational one even on the Grand Circuit. The
piece de resistance this year is a purse^of $15,000 for
trotters of the 2:12 class. The horse that wins it will
have a big profit to his credit if he wins no other race
during the year. It is such purses that make harness
horses valuable, and keeps the breeding and training
of horses going. Readville does not stop at one big
stake however. It advertises $5000 for 2:30 class
trotters, B3000 for 2:16 class trotters and $2000 for
three year old trotters of the 2:25 class. The pacers
are provided for also. The 2:24 class has a purse of
$5000 to go for, and the 2:10 class has one of $3000.
These six early closing purses are only a starter.
There will be a big Drogram of purses for smaller
amounts opened later on. These early purses will
close on March 10th, which is just a week from next
Monday. There should be several California entries
for them.

"THAT BILL introduced in this Congress provididg
for the establishment of a commission of army
officers and expert horse breeders to inspect stallions
and mares with a view to securing proper types for
the production of cavalry and artillery horses, is a
very good bill to kill. It was probably designed
originally for the purpose of reducing the surplus, and
as such a measure it would doubtless be a great suc-
cess, but otherwise is certain to be a magnificent fail-
ure. If the United States or any other government
desires to secure a certain type of horse for its use, all
it will havetodois toenact.a law by which the breeder
of such an animal will be paid a good price for it. If
the men who have bred the best horses now in use in
the army had received a fair price for them they
would be anxious to breed more and the army types
would very soon be established. This government,
however, like all others, fixes a price it will allow a
contractor for a large number, be sublets to other con.
tractors and horse sharps, and by the time the breeder
is reached the price of about $50 is made for a horse
that the government has to pay $125 for. This is the
reason the army type is difficult to secure in large
numbers. The man who breeds this type, if he has
any business abilities, can get twice or three times the
money for his horse from an express or freight com-
pany than the government contractor will pay.
American breeders have the brains and the willingness
to breed a type of horse that will be ideal for army
purposes. All they require is an assurance that they
will not have to divide the money paid by the govern-
ment with a contractor who wants from a half to two-
thirds as his share.

JW1R. W. O'B. MACDONOUGH, owner of Ormonde,
l'i has nominated several mares in the Futurity
that have been bred to his young stallions Ossary and
Orsini, sons of Ormonde. Neither Mr. Haggin nor
Mr. Macdonough has named a mare bred to Ormonde,
which is evidence that this great horse is not meeting
with success in the stud. While Ormonde's owner has
been greatly disappointed in his $150,000 purchase, it is
to be hop d that in Ossary and Orsini he has two stal-
lions that will bring fame to his farm. Ossary is one
of the grandest individuals in the world, and is nearer
like his sire in appearance than any of the horse's get.
He is a sure foal getter and but for an accident would
have been a great race horse, as he has marvelous
speed.

BECAUSE some of the district associations cannot
afford to give large purses the directors imagine
that it is better to give no meeting at all. This is a
wrong conclusion, as a meeting with small purses is
better than permitting the fair and races to go by de-
fault. Some of the best attended and most successful
fairs have been held in districts where the largest
purse was $200. If each district will give a fair this
year and hang up only the money it can afford to give,
it will benefit all concerned. There will be plenty to
race for the small purses and if the bookmakers and
touts are barred, the people will attend the races and
enjoy them.

SECRETARY W. F. BENTLEY, of the Northern
New York Trotting Horse Breeders Association
at Glens Falls, writes us that his association has been
assigned the week of September 15th by President
Campau as its date in the Grand Circuit, directly fol-
lowing Syracuse and preceding the Breeders meeting
to be held in Boston, September 22d, and that an ad-
vertisement for the early closing events will be sent
the Breeder and Sportsmax as soon as classes are
decided upon.

DOCTORS ARE ADVISING their patients to be-
ware of too much bicycle riding and telling them
to take their outings and exercise on the back of a
horse. Those who ride and drive horses always have
their health benefitted by the exercise, while wheelmen
are becomiog afflicted with all sorts of ailments from
poor eyesight to lame bacKS and bad kidneys. The
horse is the thing, and is man's greatest aid in fighting
men or microbes.

A LESSON that is being taught by the salesrings
this year is that there is a demand which can-
not be supplied for horses that have a stallion con-
formation and dealers are advising breeders to allow
more of their colts to run as stallions until they are
three years old. It is not proposed that they be sold
entire, hut that castration be delayed until the colts
are fully developed. Stags that are good lookers and
well mannered are in demand at good prices all the
time, while stallions of good manners that are
thoroughly broken are eagerly snapped up by dealers.
In Europe stallions are seen at work on '.he streets in
all sorts of vehicles and the majority of entire horses
will give no more trouble than a gelding if broken to
work and kept at it. There is no doubt but more size
style and weight can be produced by permitting colts
to grow to maturity before being unsexed.

TEE THORNTON STAKES at four miles is set
down for decision at Oakland two weeks from
to-day. $3000 is the amount of the stake and it closed
last November with tbirty-two nominations, but as
expressed in the conditions it will be reopened for en-
tries fifteen days before its decision. Horsemen should
make a note of this.

Captain N. G. Smith of Everett, Washington, who
campaigned the mare Mary L owned by Mr. E. J.
Lane of Everett, on the California circuit in 1900,
writes us that she has a fine filly foal by McKinney

2:11}. The filly is now six months old.

JOTTINGS.

PROSPECTS WERE NEVER BRIGHTER for a
year of prosperity among the farmers, fruit
growers and stock raisers of California, the- heavy
rains of the past two weeks having soaked the soil
with moisture from Siskiyou to San Diego. The dry
year prophets have heen compelled to "go way back
and sit down" and their pessimistic wailings will not
he heard for many months. Bountiful crops and
plenty of feed in the pastures are now almost a cer-
tainty in all parts of the State, and there is general
good humor among our citizens. It is a good time for
the directors of District Associations to begin work in
earnest for the fairs of 1902. This is to be a red letter
year in California. The railroad officials predict a
great tide of immigration that will set in during the
next month and continue until late in the fall. This
is the opportune year for the counties that desire im-
migration, to set forth their advantages as sections for
home building. The best way to do this is by means
of a first class district fair. The visitor who views a
splendid display of products that he can be assured
are produced at a profit to the grower, will be more
impressed with the advantages of the district than he
will by a lot of pamphlets and circulars which
announce that nearly every other farm and home in
the county are for sale. It is a trait of human nature
to desire a share of the good things of this world, and
the district that can show its land is being cultivated
and its live stock produced at a profit can secure as
much immigration as it wants, provided always of
course that its climate, schools, etc., are first class-
There are few sections of California that are not thus
favored, but outside a few of the boom counties their
lights have been hidden and the outside world does not
know much about them.

a home favorite. On such an occasion the wise man
from the city who imagines he is a bloated aristocrat
in comparison with the "Rubes" will be bet to a stand-
still and have all kinds of money shaken in his face
after he has bet his limit.

There has been considerable talk during, the past
few months in San Francisco over the proposed organi-
zation of a Gentlemen's Driving Club formed on the
lines of the now celebrated club at Cleveland, Ohio.
It has been proposed to secure a membership of
wealthy gentlemen who are lovers ol the light harness
horse and incorporate with enough paid up shares to
purchase grouuds and build a track. It is to be hoped
that such a venture may eventually succeed, as there
could be nothing that would do as much for the Ameri-
can sport of road riding and amateur racing. The
Cleveland club has a distinct advantage in the posses-
sion of a track that costs it nothing but the expense
of keeping it in order. San Francisco has no trotting
track and the expenses of making one v ith the neces-
sary appointments will be very large. I have often
thought that the Ingleside track, owned by the New
California Jockey Club, and which it is prevented by
an absurd ordinance from using, would be an ideal
place for a driving club to establish its headquarters.
If the present rather sandy surface of the track could
be covered with a coating of loam, no finer place for
matinee contests could be found. As a matinee club
would not charge admission fee, permit betting, sell
privileges or race for purses, its meetings would not
be interfered with, but on the contrary would have
the support and endorsement of everybody and if the
club were properly managed, it would soon be one of
the most popular and fashionable recreation organiza-
tions in the State. I would suggest to the gentlemen
who have been agitating the formation of a driving
club that they make an effort to secure beautiful Ingle-
side. It is on one of San Francisco's most popular
drives, is within easy reach by steam and trolley lines
of the heart of tne city and is the best appointed race
course in America.

The announcement is made that a meeting was held
at Redding on Washington's birthday, at which a
racing circuit was formed, which comprises the tracks
in Shasta, Trinity, Siskiyou, Del Norte, Modoc,
Lassen and Tehama counties in California, and those
in Jackson, Klamath and Lake counties Oregon. The
principal race meetings of this circuit would be held
at Yreka, Redding and Red Bluff, beginning at the
first named place September 16th, which falls on the
Tuesday following the California State Fair at Sacra-
mento. The circuit is to be called the Northern
California and Southern Oregon Circuit and purses
ranging from $100 to $500 are to be given. The
program will be arranged very shortly and there ij
no doubt but the circuit will be a successful one.
Twelve or fifteen years ago these circuits of the smaller
tracks were very popular on this coast, and many
horsemen from the larger towns took in the "brush"
meetings as they were called. It often happens tha
a pile of money goes into the pool box on a race in
these outside districts especially if there is a local
horse starting that has shown well in his work and is

A friend writes and wants to know of the breeding
on the dam's side of the mare Sweet Marie, that has
trotted the Los Angeles track several times better
than 2:15, making a heat once T believe in 2:13} and
winning two successive heats in 2:14 flat. These are
all matinee performances it is true, but so far as racing
is concerned those Los Angelenos of the Driving Club
are as hard racers as can be found at any regular
Grand Circuit meeting and drive from wire to wire.
Sweet MarieisbyMcKinney2:lH and her dam is Lady
Rivers by Carr's Mambrino, the only son of Mambrino
Patchen ever brought to this Coast I believe. Her
grandam was Susie by Vermont 322, a grandson of
Black Hawk 5 that was brought to this State in 1859
and sired Ella Lewis 2:27 and a couple more with
standard records. The third dam of Sweet Marie was
by Highlander, a horse whose breeding I do not know,
her fourth dam was by Owen Dale, son of Williamson's
Belmont, and her fifth dam by Black Hawk Comet.
Sweet Marie is bred well enough to be a stayer from
Stayville, and I believe she will prove to be if she is
ever raced on the regular circuit. It was stated by
Mr. Potter at the time of the sale of his stock in Los
Angeles that Sweet Marie worked four consecutive
heats last year over the Los Angeles track in 2:14,
2:133, 2:12J and 2:12J, ana that is good enough to prove
any horse a stayer.

Those web-footed fellows up in Oregon have found
going that just suits them ana are gettiug to the front
with programs ana purses ana stakes at a pace that
wouia make some of our California association airectors
aizzy. The speea committee of the Oregon State
Board of Agriculture has announced a $2000 stake for
pacers of the 2:18 class, the money being subscribed
by the citizens of Salem. To this the State Board
will aad $500 as a consolation purse for horses that win
no money in the main event. A two thousand dollar
race for pacers is a new thing on this coast and it need
not surprise anyone if California ia represented by a
half dozen side wheelers when the bell calls the horses
out for this stake. The Oregon State Fair will begin
September loth, which is the week following the Cali-
fornia State Fair. Now there is one thing certain.
The California State and district associations will have
to offer good purses to keep the horses at home this
year. There are so many attractions over east and up
north that the California trainers ana owners are
alreaay figuring on the cost of railroad fares, etc.,
necessary to start for the money at some of these far
distant tracks. The risk of being compelled to trot or
pace races in the rain or mud does not deter many
when there is a big sum of money in sight, and each
trainer figures that he has just as good a chance in
the heavy going as the other fellow has, and that fast
records are not earned on the muddy tracks. The
Oregon and Washington associations are doing much
for the horsemen this year and I hope they will be
rewarded with big entry lists and heavy gate recsipts.

J. Le Baron Smith, of this city, purchased from the
Santa Rosa Stock Farm the other day a two year old
colt by McKinney 2:11} out of By By by Nutwooa,
secona dam Rapiaan by Dictator, thira dam by Stan-
hope's Edwin Forrest, fourth dam by Mambrino Chief
11. This is one of the grandest bred young stallions
in California. Mr. Smith intends purchasing a few
well bred mares to mate with this colt and will breed
solely lor the market, selling the young stock untrained
and as soon as grown.

Horses don't sell quite as well down in Kentucky as
they do in New York. In selling horses as in racing
them one must go where the money is to get it, and
there is more money in New York than in any other
place in America. The Woodard & Shanklin sale,
which closed at Lexington February 21st, lasted five
days and during that time 419 head of trotting bred
horses were sold for $99,665, an average of $237 per
head. This can be considered a most successful sale,
but the prices would doubtless have been larger in
New York for the same animals.

Why is it that none of the California associations
can be induced to make early announcements of
stakes and purses for harness horses ? It does not
take any more work to get out a program in February
than it does in May or June and the one that is ad-
vertised early will get the most entries. Every Secre-
tary should be engaged now in sending out blanks and
writing letters soliciting entries, but the majority
will not be able to begin this work for months yet,
simply because the directors of their associations will
hot have their programs arranged until then. If the
reader will look over the eastern harness horse

d

i

journals and the Breeder and Sportsman of this
week, he will find that eastern associations
and some up north in Washington are already in
the field with stakes and purses. The early bird
gets the worm in the horse business as in any
other line, but for some reason the California birds
never get started until rather late in the spring. Why
is it? It cannot be because they are too well fed, can
it? They all draw aid from the State, which is more
than they do elsewhere. It might be a wise thing to
amend the district fair appropriation bill so that to
make the money available, fair programs would have
to be announced by February of the year in which
they are drawn.

William B. Fasig.

The death of William B. Fasig, briefly announced
in these columns last week was read with surprise and
deep regret by every person in California who had
acquaintance with him. There are horsemen here
who have been his life long friends and many others
whose acquaintance with the deceased was onl;
casual, but one and all without exception consider hii
death a personal loss.

Mr. Fasig was born on a farm near Cleveland, Ohio,
in 1846, and when seventeen vea/s old enlisted in
James A. Garfield's regiment and fought through the
Civil War. Returning home at the close of hostilities
he was elected Secretary of the Cleveland Driving
Club, and soon became the most popular and best
known Secretary in America. If ever a man was
especially fitted for the arduous and multifarious
duties of this position it was Mr. Fasig, and he had
the most intimate knowledge of horses and horsemen
as well as a clear and concise knowledge of trotting
rules.

He was a natural leader and director of men, and
had that happy faculty of showing a personal interest
in each and every one with whom he transacted busi-
ness. He had a love for the sport of harness racing
when it was clean, and he insisted that it be such
whenever he had the management. By his own en-
thusiasm and personal magnetism he drew people to
him, and the Cleveland meetings were largely attended
by the best people of the city and the grand stands
and boxes were filled with the elite of the community
whenever the association held meetings. It was
Mr. Fasig's work that made Cleveland the leading
harness horse city of the country. Sometime in the
'SO's Mr. Fasig began the combination sale business
which grew to such proportions that he finally moved
to New York and in 1896 began his famous sales at
Madison Square Garden, now the leading horse
auction mart in the world. In 1898 he associated
with him Mr. Ed. Tipton, on© of the best posted
horsemen in the country and an untiring worker, and
the new firm soon added thoroughbred sales to their
already large business. During the past few years
the sales of this firm have amounted to over $2,500,000
a year. A few years ago Mr. Fasig purchased the
beautiful country place Bennyscliff near Brewster,
New York; and since his health failed has spent the
most of his time there.

No man had a bigger heart than William B. Fasig,
and he wore it on bis sleeve. He was always ready to
help a friend and an appeal to him was never made in
vain by anyone. Generous, wholesouled, and en-
thusiastic with everything he undertook, and at the
same time possessed of the keenest business faculties
he was a man to aohieve success where others would
fail. His loss is a most severe one to all who are
nterested in horse affairs.

Kentucky Futurity.

In this issue we announce the twelfth annual renewal
of the great Kentucky Futurity, value $21,000, for
foals of 1902, which closes March loth with H. W.
Wilson, Secretary, Lexington, Ky., at the nominal fee
of $5 per mare. The Kentucky Futurity is America's
pioneer and model colt stake. Worth twice as much
as the others, yet calling for but $15 in two payments,
to keep colts eligible to within four mouths of race,
which is the same or less than in the smaller stakes,
and enables nominators to either sell or thoroughly try
their colts out before any more payments are due. It
is this feature which makes- the Futurity the fairest as
well as the richest colt stake in the world.

As an instance of the value of the Futurity engage-
ments, look at Prelatess, champion two year old of
1901, and a phenomenal filly, sold by auction for $4600,
without engagements. Her yeailing sister, very
promising and heavily engaged, was sold in the same
auction for $10,300. Fifteen dollars paid on Prelatess
and her dam in the Kentucky Futurity would have
been worth ten thousand dollars to the Daly estate.

A Futurity engagement, by itself, isn't worth a cent,
but tacked onto a good colt, it is worth a whole lot.
Remember the date, March 15th, and name every
mare that can be accused of being with foal in the
Kentucky Futurity.

The Brook, the twenty-five acre farm near Lexing-
ton, owned by Brook Curry, was sold last week to
Smith Gentry for $18,000.

It will cost the persons who suppress time hereafter
$500 if they are caught which it is thought will be con-
sidered a little too expensive a luxury.

Miss Whitney 2:11^, has been entered in the 2:12
$10,000 stake at Brighton Beach. She will also be
entered in the $15,000 Massachusetts.

Kittitas Ranger 2:11}; Chehalis Maid 2:25 and some

tising columns.

Sylvan Maid, dam of Onward Silver 2:08, foaled a
colt last year by Electric Bell, and was bred to
Oratorio 2:13. She will probably be mated with Ad-
bell 2:23 this year.

The Los Angeles Driving Club had to postpone its
Washington's Birthday matinee lsst Saturday on
account of the rain, and the downpour was so welcome
that there was general rejoiDing.

The Iowa Statt, Fair managers have arranged their
racing program for the coming season. The schedules
include four stakes of $1,000 each, and an entrance fee
of three per cent will be charged.

E. E. Smathers sent his crack trotter Lord Derby
2:0BJ and thirteen other horses to the Memphis track
last week. The Abbot is already at Memphis and the
two great trotters will be started in training for their
match with Boralma.

W. J. White's Two Minute Stock Farm near Cleve-
land, Ohio, is to be turned into a fruit farm and gar-
den. Mr. White succeeded in getting the first two-
minute horse by purchase, but bis desire to breed one
with that speed has thus far failed to materialize.

Mr. J. S. Bransford, of Salt Lake City, who pur-
chased Claudius 2:13}, Hobo 2:144 and McNally 2:15
last fall, is driving Claudius on the road at present
and finds him a splendid roadster and business horse.
McNally is turned out to be taken up later on. Hobo
has been sold.

Belle Medium 2:20, the dam of Stam B. 2:114, nas
been sent to Nutwood Wilkes 2:16^. again this year.
She has a two year old by this horse that is considered
one of the handsomest and most promising young
trotters in this country.

P. W.Hodges is up from Los Angeles on a short
visit. He has five horses working at the Los Angeles
track and will probably ship two or three youngsters
south to add to his string, among them a three year
old that is entered in this year's Occident stake.

The tracks are pretty wet just now, but there are
good roads to jog on in most sections in California.

Welcome 2:10£ will be among the horses paraded at
the Haywards horse show and we ad vise breeders who
admire a handsome large horse to be there to look
him over. The colts by this horse are as handsome as
the get of any horse in the country, and they all show
speed.

Sweet Alice, half-sister to Onward Silver 2:08, will
be trained the coming season, and her breeder, Colonel
Colier of Memphis, in a letter to the Kentucky Stock
Farm, expresses the opinion that she will trot herself
into the 2:10 list. Sweet Alice is by Sultan, and is
nine years old.

A correspondent writes us from Sacramento that
the storm has stopped work at Agricultural Park
track, but that when the weather clears there will be
busy times. Hi Hogoboom has some extra good ones,
it is said, and will be right in the front this year when
the races begin.

Thos. Shouse, of Vallejo, has leased from H. B.
Goecken, of this city, the stallion Chief of Kneiphusen,
one of the best specimens of the Percheron family in
this state. Mr. Shouse has leased the horse for two
years with the privilege of purchasing him. He will
be kept in Solano county.

Hart Boswell, the stallion by Onward out of Nancy
Lee, dam of Nancy Hanks 2:04, is attracting much
attention from breeders who have seen his advertise-
ment in this journal, and those who have looked the
horse over at Pleasanton are much taken with his ap-
pearance. He will have a full book by another month.

Mr. J. D. Carr, of Salinas, has a six year old full
sister to Sibyl S. 2:16| that was bred to his handsome
stallion Boodle Jr. last year, and is now heavy with
foal She was trained some as a filly, showed con-
siderable speed, and is one of the most gentle and nicest
dispositioned mares on the Carr farm. A child can
drive her. Mr. Carr will sell her for $300 if she is
taken in the next thirty days.

That little mare Primrose by Falroseis a great piece
of horseflesh. Her mile in 2:09} the other day over
the Los Angeles track, driven by her new owner, Mr.
Fred B. Taylor, was something to make the eyes of
old horsemen pop open as they thought she had
reached her limit when Mr. M. M. Potter drove her in
2:10. It is now thought that Mr. Taylor can drive the
mare a mile in 2:08 or better with a good day and
track.

Mart Demafest will have Director Joe, the black
stallion by Director 2:17 out of Joe Patchen's dam, and
will race him for Mr. A. C. Maynard, his new owner,
this season. Director Joe showed 2:17 on a half-mile
track, quarters in 30 seconds, last season at the Penn
Valley Farm in his training, and is bred for a top notch
performer. He cost Mr. Maynard $2500 at the recent
New York auction, and that is considered an excep-
tionally favorable figure.

Country Jay 2:101, one of the good ones on the Grand
Circuit last year, was sold at the Lexington sale for
$2000 last week. The most persistent bidder was
James Gatcomb, the noted driver, who stopped a little
short of $2000 when his reques*, to have the horse
trotted to halter was refused. The sale of a two year
old roan filly, full sister to Country Jay, by W. L.
Spears to J. R. Worden, of Boston, for $4000 was
consummated shortly afterwards at private sale.

The following incident is given out by the Denver
Field and Farm: Last week a colt was released from
a prospect hole near Newcastle, Wyo. The animal
fell into the hole thirty days previously. Passing
ranchmen made several attempts to release the animal
but failed. Heavy snows had furnished an abundance
of water for the colt, but it is a mystery how it sur-
vived so long without food. When dragged to the
surface the animal kicked up its heels and dashed off
across the prairie.

T. W. Barstow, of San Jose, has registered his good
stallion, full brother to John A. McKerron 2:06$ as
Nearest 35,562. This horse obtained a record of 2:22!
under the name or Wilkes Direct, but when it came to
registering that name would not be accepted, as the
rules say that "no more Hambletonians, " nor l*Mam-
brinos" nor "Wilkes"' nor "Pilots, " etc , will be ac-
cepted in any form. So Mr. Barstow chose the name
"Nearest" for his handsome horse and as such he will
be known in the future.

It is said that Louise Mac 2:09^ will be back in Scott
Hudson's racing stable this season. Mr. Gwathmey
repurchased her from John Maguire at an advance
after the New York midwinter sale, and Mr. Hudson
believes there is a race or two to her credit yet on the
Grand and Western Circuits. One very windy day in
1900 Charles A. Thompson drove Louise Mac a mile at
Empire City track right at her record in the teeth of
a homestretch gale, too, showing that she was as good
as ever. She is too good a performer to remain idle.

There is $f>0,900for the trotters and pacers to contest
for on the Colorado Racing Circuit. The circuit
opens at Trinidad May 27th, where four days racing
will be held. From there the horses will 'move to
Pueblo for four days, thence to Colorado Springs for
five days and thence to Denver for two weeks. All
the purses are advertised in this issue of the Breeder
and Sportsman.

In Russia every person who owns a horse is obliged
to furnish a certificate of ownership. If a horse is
sold this certificate must be produced and transferred
to the name of the purchaser. The one who sells a
horse must be responsible for its good condition and
age, and must return the purchase money and pay a
fine if he deceives the buyer in bis representations of
its health or age.

Three handsomer stallions than those pictured on
our front page to-day would be bard to find in one
State. McKinney 2:11£, Stam B. 2:1 1 J and Key Direct
2:10 are entirely dissimilar in appearance, yet each is a
model horse. McKinney was a great race horse, is the
leading sire of the Pacific Coast, and as a sire of
extreme speed leads all stallions at his age. Stam B.
and Rey Direct made great reputations on the track,
and from their breeding and individuality can be ex-
pected to trantmit both speed and endurance and good
looks to their progeny.

Dark Night, sire of Searchlight, died in Austria,
February 3d. He was twenty years old and his stand-
ard performers number 24, of which four are in the
2:101ist, viz.: Searchlight 2:03|, Brightlight 2:08^, Dark
Wilkes 2:09 and Valpa 2:09*. Dark Night was in ex-
cellent health the day before his death, which resulted
from an impaction of the bowels. He rfas sired by
Alcyone, and his dam Noonday (dam of Pastime 2:27})
was by St. Elmo 275, a son of Abdallah 15. His gran-
dam was the famous old mare Midnight, dam of Jay
Eye See 2:06.], Noontide 2:20J, Electricity 2:17^ and of
several producing sons and daughters.

The Hartford Futurity for foals of 1902 (mares bred
in 1901 to be named on or before March 17th) is more
liberal than the first. The purse has been increased
to $11,000, and $2500 of this sum' is set apart for the
pacers. The total cost of entrance remains the same,
less than one-third of one per cent. One dollar is the
initial payment. This is the most liberal proposition
ever made to the trotting horse breeder, for $1 is all
that is required to enter in this rich stake. The cost
is so small, and the benefits that may accrue are so
large, that every trotting bred foal should be ent red.
Read the Hartford Futurity announcement for foals
of 1902, which appears in our advertising columns, and
don't fail to make your entry in time:

It was generally expected that when Hal B. 2:04J
was thrown out of training last summer the handsome
bay stallion had been retired permanently, but such
was not the case. He has been sent to W. L. Snow to
get ready for another campaign, and both his owner
and Snow expect him to train into form to race with
other 2:05 pacers. Early last season Hal B. showed so
much speed at Syracuse that Snow let the horse's
owner persuade him to let the stallion step a quarter
up to his limit, and he covered the distance in 28!{ sec-
onds. Whether it was that effort that caused him to
go back in form or an attack of distemper that seized
him a little later is difficult to say, but just now he is
going as sound and looks as rugged as he ever did.

William Hendrickson, who brought Geo. M. Patcben
Jr. 2:27 to this State, has booked a mare by Almonition
2:24| to Tom James' horse Barondale 2:1 J J. This mare
is an extra well bred one, her dam being by Waldstein
2:22J, second dam Lady Blanchard 2:26£ by Whipple's
Hambletonian 725, third dam the famous old mare
Lady Livingston, dam of Whippleton and Western,
by Gen. Taylor. This mating will effect a combination
of the Wilkes, Director, Electioneer and Almont blood
that should be successful in every way, as the mare is
a good individual and there are no better bred or
better looking stallions anywhere than Barondale. Mr.
Hendrickson, who is one of the best posted horsemen
in California was greatiy taken with Barondale when
he looked him over at San Jose recently.

That fast stallion Silver Bow Jr., owned by Isaac
Morehouse, has been on the latter's farm near Warm
Springs since last summer. This horse has shown as
much speed at the trot as any horse ever foaled in
California. He worked miles in 2:14 and better and
Billy Donathan is credited with having driven him a
quarter in a little less than 30 seconds last spring, but
a slight lameness prevented him being raced. Mr.
Morehouse intends breeding Silver Bow Jr. to ten or
twelve mares this year and will then put him in train-
ing for the races. The dam of Silver Bow Jr. is
Magenta, a mare by Tempest. As a two and three
year old Magenta won nearly all the stake races in
Montana for colts and filliesof herage and placed $6000
to her credit. Her dam is by Commodore Belmont.

Among fourteen head of borses that Jere Tarlton
is wintering at Lexington are three promising Califor-
nia bred mares, which a correspondent of the Chicago
Horseman speaks of as follows: "Tbe star of the lot
is the chestnut mare Laurette by Norris, dam Laura
C. 2:29A by Electioneer. This mare has shown a mile
in2:l2and trainer Everett Middleton thinks she will
do to go after the money about the middle of .Inly.
Another good mare in the stable is RubatO by Stein-
way, dam Tone by Ferguson, hence a full Bister to
Agitato 2:09. This mare has shown a mile in 2:14.
She was taken sick last summer and did not round to
till late in the fall or she would have shown a mile
dose to 2:10. Lore tteby Dexter Prince, dam Loraneer
2:2fU by Electioneer, has shown a mile in 2:15 at the
trot" and she looks like pretty fair Grand Circuit
material."

The N. T. A. Officials.

The Turf, Field and Farm in a recent issue pays the
following tribute to the officials of that sterling- organi-
zation, the National Trotting Association:

The present officers of the National Trotting Asso
ciation have long been identified with the move-
ment to improve the breed of light harness horses.
President P. P. Johnston has a farm of over 1000 acres
in Kentucky, on which he breeds both trotters and
runners, and for many years was president of the Ken-
tucky Trotting Horse Breeders Association. First
Vice-President George "W.Arthur breeds in a small
way, and drives trotters on the road, and was president
of the Rochester Driving Park when this track was a
member of the Grand Circuit, which began at Cleve-
land, took in the old Buffalo Driving Park and ended
at Springfield. N. T. Smith, the second vice-president,
loves the horse, was one of the closest friends of ex-
Governor Leland Stanford, and is treasurer of the
Southern Pacific Railway. Charles Dana Palmer,
member of the Board of Review, Eastern District, is
ex-mayor of Lowell, ex-president of the Driving Park,
breeds in a moderate way, drives on the road and isfre"
quently seen in the judges' stand. M. G. Bulkeley is
ex-governor of Connecticut, ex-president of Charter
Oak Driving Park, is fond of the horse and drives on
the road. J. Malcolm Forbes owns Arion, for whom
he paid $125,000; Bingen 2:06}, Peter the Great 2:07^
Nancy Hanks 2:04 and conducts a great breeding farm
in Massachusetts. He is vice-president of the New
England Trotting Horse Breeders Association and
campaigns a stable every year. J. C. Sibley, of the
Atlantic District, is a member of Congress and candi-
date for governor of Pennsylvania. At Franklin is
Prospect Hill Farm, on which hundreds of thousands
of dollars were spent to make it the Palo Alto of the
East, and Charles Marvin was for many years his
superintendent and trainer. Frank Bower is a promi-
nent merchant of Philadelphia and has been closely
identified with trotting movements there for more
than a score of vears. He has been president of Bel-
mont Park, is a skillful driver on the road and track
and breeds when the fancy strikes him.

John H. Shults has spent close on to $1,000,000 on
the trotting horse, and his great breeding farm is at
Portchester. He has more mares with fast records
than any other breeder, and season after season sends
out a stable to represent Shultshurst. William Russell
Allen, of the Central District, owns Kremlin 2:07^, and
has been almost as lavish in his expenditures as Mr
Shults. Allen Farm, at Pittsfield, is one of the show
places of New England. Season after season bis horses
compete for the prizes of the trotting turf. John C.
Welty is one of the foremost men of Ohio, and has
bred and trotted horses. Pilot Boy 2:09}, now owned
by Mr. Frank Work, was formerly a member of his
campaign stable. Mr. Welty resides at Canton, was a'
friend of ex-President William McKinley, and is prom-
inent in the political movements of the Buckeye State.
R. H. Plant is a banker at Macon, Ga., owns Grattan
Boy 2:08, breeds on a large scale, and season after
season is represented by a powerful stable on the tracks
of the country. U. C. Blake, of the Western District,
is a lawyer, owns horses, has been president of a
track, and has often officiated as a judge in the stand.
F. S. Gorton has a stock farm at Wheaton, 111., owns
Tommy Britton 2:06J, and campaigns a stable every
year. J. W. Bailey represents Texas in the United
States Senate, carries on breeding in Kentucky and
Texas, and trots his horses for glory and expenses.
E. P. Heald. A. B. Spreckels, and John C. Kirkpatrick,
of the Pacific District, are prominent men, and thor-
oughly representative of the breeding and training
industry of that section of the country. All of the
officials of the National Trotting Association have
practical knowledge of breeding and development, are
in touch with current affairs, are men of sound judg-
ment, anl will keep the wheels turning in an effective
way.

The stallion whose owner believes in him sufficiently
to spend money in training and showing his get will
get to the front if he has any merit at all. Thos. W.
Lawson, who recently purchased Dare Devil 2:09 at a
price known to be in excess of $30,000, the largest price
paid for a trotting bred horse since Stamboul 2:07J was,
sold, is now advertising for four of his get that have
show ring qualities. Mr. Lawson wants to exhibit
Dare Devil's prod uce iD the show ring and having noho
himself, and knowing the horse stood for public service
for several years, he believes he can get what he wants
by using the columns of the eastern turf journals. In
his characteristic way Mr. Lawson says: "Those
having good individuals and out of good mares, which
they will sell reasonably — I am not paying fancy prices
— can make quick trade by giving full description of
the individual and dam and naming price. As time is
limited no attention will be paid to those who start in
to dicker. Simply write me the facts about the indi-

vidual and his breeding, and if the price is right I
will at once send man. If individual tallies with de-
scription he will give check and take it." Mr. Lawson
purchased Ponce de Leon at the Daly sale and makes
the same offer in regard to four of that stallion's get.
If he gets what he wants, and wins with them at the
Boston Horse Show, he will give his two stallions a
boom that he could start in no other way that would
be so effective.

The principal changes made in the rules by the Con-
gress of the National Trotting Association are as fol-
lows: Matinee horses can now compete for ribbons
and trophies without incurring the penalty of a record
or bar when no financial benefit is to be derived from
the matinees. No trotting will be permitted after sun-
set, and this will mean the hour set by the calendar
instead of the sun setting behind some nearby hill.
Three races can now be sandwiched in an afternoon in
place of two, as heretofore, giving horses a longer
time to rest and at the same time expediting the pro-
program. The penalty for the suppression of time
has been raised from $100 to $500, which it is hoped
will have a deterring effect on the guilty violators.
The moving up of the distance stand was voted down,
as well as an amendment to prohibit heat betting on
races. An amendment to restore, in substance, the
old rule allowing judges to declare the deciding heat
of a race void, was also defeated. The proposition not
to permit hobbled horses without records to compete
on National tracks was snowed under, and the propo_
sition that the president of the National Trottin a

The Northern Circuit.

TRedding Free Press, February 34.]

A county fair will be held in Redding this year, on
September 23d, 24th, 25th, and 20th Saturday after-
noon the directors of the Twenty-seventh Agricultural
District met in this city and decided to arrange for a
fair on those dates. The directors elected the follow-
ing officers: W. J. Gillespie, President; Wm. Hawes,
Vice-President; A. M. Irwin, Secretary; C. C. Bush,
Jr., Treasurer.

This district comprises Shasta and Trinity counties.
As no fair was held last year, the full State appropria-
tion for two years, $1800, is now available.

The directors believe that conditions will be such
that the fair in every respect will be far more success-
ful than any previous exhibition. It is proposed to
make the premiums larger and the special features
will be many and new and novel.

The Northern California Racing Circuit is now an
organized fixture and in September and October the
races in the various towns on the circuit will be held.

Saturday representatives of Tehama, Siskiyou and
Shasta counties met at the Depot Hotel and agreed on
dates that will not conflict with each other. A season of
five days' racing will be held in Yreka, Redding and
Red Bluff. The season opens at Yreka with dates fixed
on September 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. Redding, Septem-
ber 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27. Red Bluff, September 30,
October 1, 2, 3 and 4.

the American Trotting Register Association shall con-
stitute a board to determine the validity of all records

tion want through without a dissenting vote.

Early closing events enables each association to ad-
vertise its meeting and feel of the pulse of the racing
world. There is no better way to get your meeting
before the public than by giving a few early closing
stakes. Each association in making up its program
should be governed by its environments, offering as
much money for purses as it can possibly afford, but
not more than it can surely pay. The larger the purse
the more attractive it will be to the better class of
horses. The primary object of any association should
be improvement. To accomplish this the financial end
should not be lost sight of. To insure this you must
get the people, and to get them you must furnish the
entertainment that gives them the greatest enjoyment
and satisfaction. People have been accustomed to a
higher class of amusement and now demand it, and
will not be satisfied with an inferior performance of
any kind. That the speed ring is the drawing attract
tion at fairs, when properly conducted, is attested by
the crowds of people leaving every other department
and filling the grand stand to overflowing by the time
races are called. This is no detriment to the other de-
partments, for they have most likely spent an hour
or so looking over the other fine displays, but shows
that people like to be entertained and enjoy better
than any thing else a good "hoss race."— Sural Spirit

and Tehama in California, an<i Jackson, Klamath and
Lake in Oregon. All horses entered must be owned
and in the district prior to July 1st.

The following program was decided upon, the list of
races to be the same in each of the towns named:

First day — Trotting race, 3:00 class, 1 mile, best two
in three; running, five-eighths mile dash; running, 1
mile dash.

Second day — Pacing, 2:23 class, best three in five;
running, half-mile dash; running, seven-eighths mile
dasb.

Third day — Trotting, 2:20 class, best three in five!
running, three-quarter mile dash; running, one mile
dash.

Fourth day — Trotting, 2:40 class, best three in five;
running, five-eighths mile dash; running, seven-eighths
mile dash.

Fifth day — Trotting and pacing, two year old, best
two in three; trotting and pacing, free for all, bes
three in five; running, one-half mile, for defeated
horses; running, three-quarter mile dash, for defeated
horses.

Entries for trotting and pacing races close on Sep-
tember 1st. It is already known some speedy horses
will be entered for these races.

Why did The Abbot have to play second fiddle to
Cresceus? Because he wasn't Geered Up to Ketcham.

Sulky vs. Wagon.

[H. K, Devereus in American Sportsman.]

Much argument has been had over the question of
the difference between the modern bike sulky and the
"bike" wagon. Many horsemen believe that there is
no difference between the two and there are a few that
say they believe the wagon faster than the sulky. The
arguments on both sides are oumerous — as must neces-
sarily be the case in a question where the difference is
so slight — but after seven years of close observation
and much practical use of the two vehicles I am of the
firm belief that measured in point of time for extremely
fast performances the difference is largely in favor of
the sulky. What this difference amounts to is perhaps
impossible to prove, but I believe an approximately
fair average can be determined and I have, after much
calculation, placed this at about two seconds — provid-
ing the element of wind resistance is eliminated. To
anybody who has ever ridden a bicycle, the importance
and effect of wind resistance is well understood, and in
the case of a wagon this resistance is a marked factor
when speed is at stake. The reason is obvious — there
is so much more for the wind to get in its power on.
It has been stated that the seat of the ordinary racing
bike wagon is lower than the sulky seat. This is not
only untrue, but the driver in the wagon besides being
higher up is much further back of his horse which
puts him in a position to offer much more resistance
to the wind than if seated close behind his horse as in
a sulky. The late Tom Keating was the only horse-
man I ever heard suggest the advisability of a driver
leaning well forward over his horse as a bicycle racer

conclusion as' to what horse motion means and what
»t amounts to.

The old saw, that the proof of the pudding is in the
eating, is most applicable in this most abstruse argu-
ment, wherein there is so much that must at least ap-
proach guess work. The performance of any one
horse, or even a dozen selected cases, cannot be proof —
though they be evidence — but the proof to me is had
in the different kind and under all sorts of conditions
for the past seven years. At times I was ready to
admit that the wagon was at least as fast as the sulky,
notably the day I timed The Abbot at Lexington a
mile to wagon in 2:03£, but after events only served to
strengthen me in my opinion. Hundreds of watches
were held on The Abbot when he trotted that mile and
of all of them I saw or have heard of only two that
had the mile as fast as 2:03 J. The watches that I saw
were from 2:03£ to 2:03|. Mine was 2:03 3-5, and I saw
or heard of a large number, for I was deeply inter-
ested. This, perhaps means little, but when trying to
determine an average fractions count. Until I talked
with Mr. Geers I was ready to agree with Mr. Welch
and a number of others who timed the mile, that the
wagon was here proven to be at least as fast as the
sulky. Mr. Geers' reply to my question as to what he
thought about it was characteristic. "lam greatly
disappointed," said he, 'that I did not arrange to
start the horse to beat his record this afternoon. This
is his day and his track. He never was in better con-
dition than now and be would certainly have trotted a
mile in harness in as good as 2:02, and I honestly think
in 2:01£ or better." Knowing the conservatism and
astuteness of this master of his profession, and realizing

at his best, taken away at the pole, paced by a runner,
and everything fixed for his showing his real speed,
this horse when turned in a field of horses and raced a
few heats seems to have lost seconds in ability.

As has been said, "One swallow does not make
spring,'' nor is it fair to select even a dozen subjects
as proving the caBe, and yet it might be interesting
to select a few of the most prominent wagon perfor-
mances and see what they may prove. We have
already discussed the Abbot's performance as the
greatest by a trotter. For the pacers, Little Boy's
mile in 2:01£ stands out so far and above all others
that it becomes most interesting. This mile was about
5 seconds faster than his record made to harness over
one-half mile track, and would seem to prove that in
this case at least the wagon was as fast as the sulky.
People who know Little Boy well, however, will think
a few times 'ere they admit this. No trotter or pacer
ever lived that had a higher flight of speed, if as
much, and his ability to carry it is marvelous. In
this he excels any horse I ever saw. It is certain con-
viction in my mind that Little Boy is the fastest pacer
that ever lived, and those who know him best firmly
believe that only opportunity is needed for him to
beat Stai Pointer's great performance of a mile in
1:59£. In speaking of Star Pointer, it might be per-
tinent to consider what his wagon record is and also
what Joe Patchen's is. They were tried to wagon
often, and their record so hitched are seconds slower
than, their harness records. Indeed the more on6
considers their performances, the remarkable one of
Little Boy grows to assume wonderful proportions.

not pretty or graceful but it is certainly productive Again, those who argue that the wagon is as fast as
of good in making time. Returning to the statement the sulky usually make much of the fact that so many
as to the relative height of the seats of wagons and horses lower their turf record when driven by ama-
teurs to wagon. At first thought this seems an un-
answerable argument, but is very easy of explanation.
On the face of it the comparison is invidious, the con-
ditions governing the two sorts of performances are
not at all analagous and no comparison can be fair.
Every horseman knows what it means to condition a
horse to trot races o/ mile heats, three in five. They
know what drains are put upon a horse racing in big
fields with all the attendant scoring. This is certainly
done at the sacrifice of some speed. Take any horse
so conditioned and raced, shipped from town to town,

put him in a stable of matinee horses, freshen him up, Cresoeus had been hooked to wagon when he raced
i-riKl on U,. . to with no 'increase in friction over the train him only for short races and few of them, where The Abbot at Brighton Beach, would he have been

made favorite? Would Mr. Lawson be considered
the man of ability he is now were he to try and beat
Lord Derby with Boralma hooked to wagon? When
Jack Curry starts Prince Alert to beat 2:00, do you

sulkies, I have measured a number and the facts are
that the seats of the sulkies are some inches lower
than the wagon seats, while the driver in the wagon
is not alone higher but on the average about five feet
further back of his horse. What this means one can
not realize until finishing a mile with a tired horse.
The adherents to the argument that the wagon is the
faster also claim that with four wheels there is less
friction because the weight is more evenly distributed
and carried by four wheels instead of two. This is a
most fallacious argument, for given bearings of like
kind it is a fact beyond argument that the weight is

Lucille went

a mile to wagon in 2:07, or two and a quarter seconds
faster than her turf record. Yet is there a sane horse,
man that thinks Lucille's turf record of 2:09} was the
limit of her ability? This little mare has trotted a
quarter in 29} seconds and is great in ability to carry
her speed, so a mile in 2:05 should not stop her. I
cannot believe, under all circumstances, that a mile
has yet been trotted or paced that would not have
been faster had the horse been booked to a sulky.
If this is not true why do not some who believe the
wagon as-fast or faster, try to race to them? If Mr.
Ketoham had elected to have driven Cresoeus to wagon
when he started to beat the world's record, would not
every horseman have considered him orazy? If

the scoring is at a minimum and the starters few, and

where interference and ill luck Is almost eliminated,

and what is the very natural result? Why, he is able

to utilize all his speed and at onoe becomes like a horse

conditioned, driven, paced and hurrahed into a virtual

trial against time. How many horses acquire records

near their ability for trotting one mile? Very few in-
of the horse, kind of sulky, method of hitching and deed. Many of us know this to our sorrow, as when a and"su1ky7put MmYown'as'one that either has not

four— and that if there were any increase it would be
against the four wheels. The argument as to horse
motion in the sulky is more fairly open to debate, and
I am free to say that this one thing is, I believe, the
condition that fairly brings the two vehicles close to-
gether in the argument of relative speed. This is a
condition that varies so with the gait and the posltioi

Returns on Horse Investments.

Avion cost $125,000, Bingen, a faster horse, only
$8000, and that, too, after having trotted a mile pub-
licly in 2-121 as a two year old at Rigby Park, Maine,
early in that season, says an exchange. There was a
"boom" on in Arum's days; a panic extended over the
lia-ht harness horse world when Bingen 's star seemed
in the ascendancy; the difference in conditions balanced
nicely in favor of the Massachusetts breeder, inasmuch
as no horse at a cost of $125,000 has reasonable chance
of earning out that sum. Bingen urdoubtedly has or
will repay the full cost and Peter the Great has every
chance to prove an investment. Nancy Hanks cost
$38 000 or $40,000-Mr. Forbes and Budd Doble alone
know the exact amount-but earned a sum net nearly
equalling that purchase figure in her exhibition tours.
Add to her earnings the stake money earned by her
son and his value in the competitive market, and old
Nancy has proved a valuable investment, viewed in
any li»ht Mr. Forbes has four from her to date and
but one year has she failed to produce. All of her
produce have lived, and the oldest, a filly by imp. Med-
dler is producing each season to the Forbes farm stal-
lions Were the Nancy Hanks family to be dispersed
by auction there would be an aggregate well toward
$25 000 bid for the lot beyond a reasonable doubt,
leaving the old queen but little below original cost to
her owner. .

Just the amount earned by Arion when his fee was
$2500 is not known, but approximated in all likelihood
$25,000. His get at public sale have aggregated
possibly $10,000 and his last season, made in Kentucky,
was decidedly profitable. He will continue at Mr.
Witherspoon's farm, Versailles, Ky., the present sea-
son and is already well engaged at a fee of $100. Anon
should in the end earn possibly a third of the extraor-
dinary figure paid for him. Chimes cost C. J. Hamlin
only $12,500. He never lowered his three year old
record, 2:301, although he could have taken a record
of 2:25 at almost any moment if retired for a portion
of a'season. His progeny have sold for a large figure
in the aggregate. The Abbot 2:03} alone fetching
$26,500. On the turf Chimes' get have won over $100,-
000 and his earnings at the stud must approximate
that high figure. Were he sold to-day he would be in
demand at $15,000 to $25,000 even though now an old
horse. Mr. Lawson has purchased Dare Devil 2:09J
for probably $35,000 or more, the produce of a d aughter
of Chimes, so it is readily to be seen that no horse ever
proved a better earning factor than he.

Primarily, Mr. Hamlin's idea was to race the
Chimeses early, but after allowing Fantasy the world's
three year old race record of 2:08| and the world's filly
record of 2.08 as a four year old, Midnight Chimes a
three year old race record of 2:161, Princess Royal a
two year old race record of 2:20 and American Belie-
by Rex Americus, however— a race record of 2:12| at
three, the sage of the Village Farm declared against
juvenile training for all time. It is to-day the "little"
breeder who is helped by bringing out juveniles of the
highest class, and the leading breeders do not strive
for supremacy as of old. Boralmaand Peter Stirling
were bred By men having less than 100 head probably
on their farms, and in late years only Bitter Root
Farm and Walnut Hall have "made" the two year old
futurities from among the representative establish-
ments. At Forbes Farm a similar inclination exists to
allow the youngsters their first three years to develop.
Admiral Dewey was "brushed" as a two year old, and
report had it, showed a mile in 2:20}, but it was not a
"rated" mile, merely the result of two intermediate
brushes at a sensational clip, with parts of it little
faster than a 2:40 gait. He was not raced that season,
Mr. Hamlin has also abandoned the mating of two
year old fillies, believing after a trial that the produce
are frail and undersized as a rule, and consequently
not so well fortified to be raced as the produce of
matured young mares. He is ever alive to the impor-
tance of pushing his sires to the front in every practi-
cal way, but believes that the track and show ring are
the places for competition and gaining of lasting
ienown.

No handsomer broodmares or stallions in America
could possibly be found in such numbers as at the
Village Farm. Years ago Mambrino King was heralded
by a commission of French horsemen visiting America
"the handsomest horse in the world." His sale for
$10,000 to Mr. Hamlin followed and his subsequent ring
victories are history. In his day he was defeated only
by the trotters, Alcyone and Alcantara, and many re-
garded thelatter's defeat of him as prejudicial judging
and not a "true" class result. Mambrino King sired
Lord Derby 2:061 and Lady of the Manor 2:04.1. from
daughters of Chimes, the former to-day one of the
mosl talked-of trotters of the hour, and the latter
sharing the world's pacing mare record with Mr.
Billings' handsome Mazette.

Death of W. H. Schuckman.-

On the Monday morning's mail from Denver, Colo-
rado came an announcement of the death of William
Schuckman, Secretary of the Overland Racing Asso-
ciation, in the shape of the following letter from Mr-
John B. Williams of that citv

Denver, Colo., Feby. 20, 1902.
BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN: W. H. Schuckman of
Denver is dead. Strong men will shed tears for the
loss of "Billy" from among them.

"A fond and loving son, husband, brother, friend.
He died where manhood's morning almost touched
to noon and while the shadows were still falling toward
the west." For eighteen years he was express
messenger for the Adams Express Co. during which
time he built for himself a monument that will outlive
those who knew him. He it was, who as messenger,
went East and returned with thousands and thousands
of dollars in gold for the banks of Denver during the
panic of 1893. Many of us remember the stacks of
.gold at the teller's window in those stormy days.
Billy was the trusted man with all of it.

Three years ago Mr. Edwin Gaylord of Denver
leased Overland Park and organized the Overland
Racing Association with Billy as secretary. Those
who attended the races will remember how well he
performed the various duties incident thereto.
Courteous, obliging and firm, with a quick perception
of justice to all. .

"He spoke and it was done; He commanded and it
stood fast." Thus he helped to raise the Overland
Racing Association to that high standard of excellence
for which it is so justly renowned.

Where could such combination as Gaylord and
Schuckman be found? Yet Billy is no more. Dead at
the age of thirty eight years.

As a horseman he was enthusiastic from childhood
and there probably was not another man in the West
his equal in the knowledge of harness and running
horses. "He loved righteousness and justice" do-
ing at all times what he believed and saw to be right.
Though a poor man, yet was he rich, in that no
hungry one ever left his presence without a division
of his purse with a word and a smile of encourage-
ment. J°HN B- Williams.

Mr. Schuckman died from pericarditis, after an illness
of four weeks. His death occurred about four hours
after an operation to remove the water pressing on
the heart.

Why No 2:05 Pacing Class ?

Jackson'B Napa Soda untangles the feet.

The statement that the stewards of the Grand
Circuit for 1902 will not have a 2:05 pacing class, for
fear that Dan Patch will scare off all other entries, is
rather permature, and will, if carried out, spoil the
most sensational racing of the coming season. Look
at the eligibles for the class and compare their per-
formances of last year, and it shows the real crack-a-
jacks will be in the 2:05 classes at all the circuit meet-
ings. Mazette 2:04}, by Tennessee Wilkes, started at
Buffalo and won third money, and a heat In 2:071; won
first money at Glen's Falls in 2:06}, 2:07}, 2:06}; third
at Readville to Riley B., in 2:071, 2:08}, 2:10; second at
Providence to Dan Patch in 2:041, 2:07, 2:061; second
at Hartford to Edith W. in 2:081, 2:05, 2:071; won at
Memphis in 2:04}, 2:041- Dan Patch 2:04} by Joe
Patchen, won every race in which he started, his best
average race time being at Providence in 2:041, 2:07,
2:061.° Royal R. Sheldon 2:041, by Constantine, paced
three winning races on the Grand Circuit: at Glen's
Falls in 2:041, 2061; Readville, in 2:05, 2:07, 2:061; at
Providence, in 2:051, 2:061, 2:06}. Edith W. 2:05, by
Ben Lomond, Jr.. made nine starts. Her winning
races were at Columbus, in 2:051, 2:071. 2:071; at Hart-
ford, in 2:081, 2:05, 2:071; and at Cincinnati, in 2:05}.
Alcymont, was the winner of eleven track and four
state records last season, Hetty G. 2:05}, by Egg Hot,
started at Detroit by winning the 2:06 class race in
2:05 J, 2:06}; she was second at Columbus, with a heat
in 2:05}, but did not come to the front again down the
line Audubon Boy 2:06; Little Squaw 2:06; Will
Leyburn 2:06; Harry D. 2:06; The Maid 2:051; and
Bonnie Direct, are the others eligible to the class. Of
the twelve named seven are likely to come together.
It will be racing in earnest, and the time will average
2:06 or better.— Spirit of the West.

Dan Morgaif, a horse shoer of Marysville and a horse
owner well known in this State, died suddenly at his
home on Tuesday of last week. The deceased, after
doing a hard's day's work, repaired to bis home and
ate a hearty evening meal about 5 o'clock, shortly
after which he complained of a headache and soon
sank into unconsciousness, in which condition he
remained until shortly after 5 o'clock next morning,
when he breathed his last. His death is attributed to
the rupture of a blood vessel of the brain.

Some striking figures are about to be published by
the Department of Agriculture in a bulletin by Dr.
George Russel, an expert in the Bureau of Animal

Industry.

After reviewing the past and present conditions of
the horse market, he states the causes of the depres-
sion in 1890, first resulting from the abolition of horse
cars followed by the business depression of 1893, and
this'followed closely by the advent of the bicycle and
automobile. The last two features, however, it seems
do not affect the horse market so much as one would
think, for those who ride the bicycle cannot afford to
own a horse or are temporary patrons of livery stables.
As to the automobile, Dr. Russel states this is a
mechanical age, wben one wishes everything to be of
a mechanical nature; but the combination of motors
and wheels is not in a perfect state and the fascination
of inventions can never supplant permanently the ex-
hileration of companionship or the inspiration of
power that comes from a pull on the ribbons, or the
grip of the knees in the saddle.

He then reviews the causes of the present ex-
cellent condition of the market, primarily caused by
the depression when horse breeders, becoming dis-
couraged by the state of the market at that time,
discontinued the breeding of high class horses so that
now there is a scarcity of fine a- imals. Another reason
is the immense growth of the export trade for while
in 1890 only 3,501 horses were sent abroad, in 1901 the
figure have steadily grown to 82,250 head. The
following table of exports shows this growth: 1890, 3,-
501- 1891, 3,110; 1892, 2,226; 1893, 2,967; 1894, 5,246; 1895,
13,984; 1896, 25,126; 1897, 39,532; 1898, 51,150; 1899, 45,-
778; 1900, 64,722; 1901, 82,250.

The shipments to Africa are largely responsible for
the great increase in 1901 when 27,465 head were ship-
ped to that country.

It would seem, therefore, estimating that an animal
is marketed at five years of age, an export demand
of 80,000 annually requires nearly 400,000 horses to
keep up this supply.

Another important reason is the increase of popula-
tion, with a growing love of a good horse, and the
wonderful growth of business, calling for many more
horses than were needed for such purposes in the

early 90's.

Will the market hold out? As already stated, the
reasons for the present good market are, on the one
hand, a diminished supply of the best grades to draw
upon, and, on the other hand, a brisk demand with a
widened field to supply. So long as these conditions
continue prices will rise.

Jasper Ayers on the Speedway.

Since David Lamar, of New York, bought the ten
year old California gelding Jasper Ayers 2:09 at New
York a few weeks ago he has been having consider-
able sport with him on the speedways, as will be seen
from the following from the New York Sun of
February 17th: "The lower stretch at Speedway
Park presented a narrow strip of hard, smooth foot-
ing for the fast fleet yesterday morning, but, as 'Old
Sol' mounted into the skies, the top surface thawed
into a mortar-like bed too heavy to admit of pleasur-
able driving in the afternoon. David Lamar elected
to drive his recent purchase, Jasper Ayers 2:09, first,
and was a central figure, not losing a heat. First he
warmed the California-bred trotter alone, sending
him twice at speed over the stretch to limber him up
and work off the wire edge; then selecting David
Goodman's fast gelding Freeland 2:171, as a competitor
he turned at Aqueduct Bridge for his first spin in
company, the first that he ever drove the handsome
bay, as Trainer Curry has given him all of his work-
outs so far. Elmer Stevens behind Woodsboy 2:241,
joined them and it was a pretty brush even though
Jasper Ayers had seconds the best of his fellows and
finished in a mere jog. John Timmins with Harry
Davis 2:261, next tried the Lamar trotter and he like-
wise was beaton off. It was evident that the son of
Iris was on his mettle and all hands now sought to
check his rush to victory. Fred Spear behind Queen
Wilkes, George O. Coleman, in a heavy runabout with
the veteran Kingwood 2:17}, and one or two others
turned with Mr. Lamar and they were away at speed
like a flash. As they swung along a third of the way
down Moe Levy joined in with the big resolute-going
Ed Locke 2:12}, but was out in front several lengths
with clear sailing in the choicest of the footing.
-Nothing daunted, however, Lamar drove for him
with Jasper Ayers closing fast. At the finish Ed
Locke led by a half length and Jasper beat out the
original starters decisively. As between Kingwood
and the Wilkes mare it looked to belong to Kingwood
by a head, although it was so close both drivers in-
quired as to the popular verdict."

Well, I see that Mr. Spreckels has been purchasing"
tine first class stallions for the Napa Farm and, as
s mares were already far above the average, I see
) good reason why he should not breed stake-horses
sreafter. Solitaire is a beautifully bred horse and I
m conceive of nothing better than his female tail line,
ac'mg back to Brown Duchess and Espoir. Of
yrshire I was never so much an admirer as I was of
been, whom I must place at the head of Hampton's
ins, with Ayrshire next, Ladas third and Merry
Hampton pretty well back. Hampton was never
•dited with the merit he really possessedj for he
iced five seasons and won some very important races,
jsides which he is the only stallion since Stockwell to
at three Derby winners. I saw a good many Ayrshire
orses in England, last year, and can say that they
■e over the average for three cardinal requisites —
30d legs, good feet and, what is never to be over-
toked at this day, good temper. Ladas was far ahead
f Ayrshire in 1891, in the matter of moneys won by his
3t, but it is really all through the winnings of one
orse, Epsom Lad. My objection to the Ladas horses
that they are all on the light order and exceedingly
arvous, hence I would rather have one good horse
y Ayrshire than five by Ladas. And as Feronia, the
im of St. Serf (who has had winners of £10,000 for
iree seasons and been once second to his illustrious
re), is also the second dam of Ayrshire, I don't think
lat Mr. Spreckels has made any great mistake in the
archase of Solitaire. Then take his dam's side and
3 is out of Solesky by Thunder, who won the City
id Subruban of 1876 with 130 lbs. up, he being by
hunderbolt, the fastest of all of Stockwell 's sons,
hunderbolt was sold to Hungary where he got
rakatoa, sire of Dolma Batsghks, who won the Grand
rix de Paris, beating the $60,000 Matchbox. Next
)mes Utopia by Rataplan, brother to Stockwell; and
e all know that he not only got Kettledrum, the
erby winner but also got i/he dams of Cremorne,
erby, Grand Prix and Ascot cup and Kisber, winner
J the Derby and Grand Prix; Apology winner of the
akes and St. Leger; and Woulock, St. Leger winner
ad sire of imp Martenhurst. Visionary the next dam
as by Loup Garou, son of Lanercost and sire of that
reat filly Fairwater. Next comes Brown Duchess, one
f the greatest three year old fillies ever saddled. She
on the Oaks of 1861 in a canter, with Lady Ripon
scond and Fairwater third. Her next appearance
as in the Coronation Stakes at Ascot, which she won
l a canter. Next comes the Grand Duke Michael
takes in which she literally smothered Knigbt o( St.
'atrick, Walloon and four others. Next came Don-
aster at which she ran a dead heat for the cup and
ivided the stakes with Kettledrum; and it was this
ace that cost her the St. Leger, in my belief, for she
roke down in the latter race while running ahead of
: Her On and Kettledrum who finished first and
acond, noses apart. Her full sister, Hopeful Duchess,
ras the second dam of imported Maxim, as good a
torse as Australia ever sent to America; and Brown
>uchess herself was the third dam of imported Galore,

very prominent sire, whose son Doctor McBride got
hat great filly Leonora Loring. Solitaire's fifth dam
?as Espoir, dam of that great horse Ethelbert who
ron the City and Suburban at Epsom. So that
solitaire's breeding is gilt edged, look at it as you will.

The other horse, Marius II, is in bred to Galopin,
he fastest horse ever foaled in England, bar Ormonde;
md the only stallion in history to head the sires' list
it 25 years of age. Look at some of these returns for
stallions:

>t. Simon £59 734
it. Serf.... 15,052
ialopin... 12,862
Jooovan..., 9,870

Kendal £28,845

St. Simon.. 22,541
Djnovan... 12,816
Galopin.... 12,370

1898
Galopin.. ...-£21,700
St. Simon.. 15 210

Donovan 14,398

St. Serf 11,866

£98,518 £76.572 £63,174

Donovan and St. Simon were both by Galopin and
it. Serf by St. Simon. Last year St. Simon headed
he list without a sirjgle classic winner to his credit;
nd second on the list was his son Florizel U , who got
he winners of both the Derby and St. Leger (as well
s the second horse in the latter) in his very first sea-
on. It is always an open question at first whether
he blood of any horse will inbreed well, but Flying
'ox settled that some time ago, as far as Galopin is
^ncerned, and numerous other instances have since
ocurred. So Mr. Spreckels need not be anxious on
iat account. The next dam is Sunny Locks by New-
unster. Now I am aware that there was always some
rejudice against Newminster's daughters, but I find
lat both Carbine, the greatest two-miler ever foaled,
3d the Australian Newminster, also, had Newminster
tares for their grandams. The latter horse was the

best two year old ever foaled in that country and
headed the sire list twice, in addition to being one of
the first ten for seven years. Next comes Bess Lyon
by Longbow, and she dropped the Oaks winner Gamos
by Saunterer. Next came Daughter of Toscar and
she produced imp. Hercules, the handsomest of all
the early importations to this State. He had all the
quality of Belmont and was at least one hundred
pounds the heavier horse. He died the property of
Mr. William Boots of Milpitas.

And so Eonic won the Burns Handicap, quite a big
winning for a mare sold for $1000 less than a year ago.
She was "bred right to go the route" beyond all ques-
tion, her sire being one of the most consistent perform-
ers ever foaled, while her dam was by a Derby winner.
Eonic comes from the No. 4 family in the Bruce Lowe
system, a family that has produced as follows:

Derby Winners Oaks Winners St. Leger Winners

Sir Harry 1798 Nightshade 1788 Stavely 1805

Blucher 1814 Medora 1814 The Duchess 1815

Thormanby 1860 Gulnare 1824 St. Patrick 1820

Kisber 1876 Our Nell 1832 Chorister 1831

Iroquois 1881 Brigantine 1869 Wenlock 1872

Common 1891 Gamos 187u Sea Breeze 1888

Sir Visto 1895 Apology 1874 Common 189 1

Thebais 1881 Throstle 1894

Reve d'Or 1887 Sir Visto 1895

Sea Breeze 1888

This shows 7 winners of the Derby, 10 of the Oaks
and 9 of the St. Leger, 26 classical winners in all. This
makes a better showing for the Magnolia family than
I was at first aware of, for to this Layton Barb mare
also trace Matchem, the premier sire of his day; Oul-
ston, winner of the Queen's Vase at Ascot; Lord of the
Isle, 2000 Guineas of 1855. In this country we find
Day Star, winner of the Kentucky Derby; imported
Albert, premier sire of 1899; Belvidere and brother Sir
Dixon, the premier sire of 1901; Charaxus, sire of
Charade, a great winner; Falsetto, winner of the Ken-
tucky Derby and Kenner Stakes at Saratoga; imported
Kingston by Hampton; Pontiac, first winner of the
Suburban at Coney Island; Parole, who won both the
City and Suburban and Great Metropolitan Handicaps
in England on the same day; Vocalic, a good son of
Virgil; Requital, winner of the Futurity and the Real-
ization Stakes; George Kinney, one of the three best
sons of good old Bonnie Scotland; Rhadamanthus, the
old black horse that laid the foundation of the Dwyer
fortunes, and a dozen or more horses that have won
distinction on the American turf.

Another great horse from this line of maies was the
famous black stallion Doctor Syntax. He won 20 races
out of 32, including the Preston Cup four times, for
which event he was twice second also. He got Ralph,
winner of the Two Thousand Guineas at three years
old and the Ascot Gold Cup at four. He also got that
greatest of all race mares, the incomparable Beeswing,
who won 52 races out of 63 starts, including four Don-
caster Cups. Lanercost beat her twice and she beat
him five times. Beeswing was afterwards famous as
the dam of Newminster, the best son of Touchstone.
Another good horse from this line was The Provost,
who got that good mare Hybla. She dropped Kettle-
drum, Derby winner in 1861, and Mincemeat, Oaks
winner of 1854, as well as Clove, imported into Australia,
where she became the ancestors of Abercorn, the best
horse ever foaled on the South Continent. Another
good horse from this line was Annandale, that ran
second to Merry Monarch in the Derby of 1845 and
got that good little horse Balrownie, that was buried
alive in Massachusetts. Had Bairownie been sent to
Kentucky or Tennessee on his arrival, he would have
done fully as well as Bonnie Scotland, his half-brother,
for none of the earlier Bonnie Scotlands were as good
as Fleetwing, who was about the only horse to make
Kentucky extend himself at five years old. I mustsay
the No. 4 family makes a better showing than most
turf writers are aware of. My belief is that, if ever
we breed a great sire on this Coast, it will be from
Eonic or one of her daughters, as some of the stallions
included in the above list of Derby and St. Leger
winners have done very well in England; and we all
know what Iroquois, Powhattan and Sir Dixon have
achieved in America. Hidalgo.

The Rules for Registration.

Surprise is very often expresaed by owners and
breeders who come to this office to seek assistance in
getting their horses registered, when they find the
animals are not eligible. These owners are generally
men who have paid little attention to such matters
for several years and are unacquainted with the fact
that the rules were radically changed in 1898 and
the requirements for registration are more difficult to
fulfill than in former years. For the benefit of
those who have no copy of the present rules, we again
publish them.

THE TROTTING STANDARD.

When an animal meets these requirements and is
duly registered it shall be accepted as a standard-bred
trotter:

1. The progeny of a registered standard trotting
horse and a registered standard trotting mare.

2. A stallion sired by a registered standard trotting
horse, provided his dam and grandam were sired by
registered standard trotting horses, and he himself
has a trotting record of 2:30 and is the sire of three
'trotters with records of 2:30, from different mares.

3. A mare whose sire is a registered standard trot-
ting horse, and whose dam and grandam were sired
by registered standard trotting horses, provided she
herself has a trotting record of 2:30 or is the dam of
one trotter with a record of 2:30.

4. A mare sired by a registered standard trotting
horse, provided she is the dam of two trotters with
records of 2:30.

5. A mare sired by a registered standard trotting
horse, provided her first, second and third dams are
each sired by a registered standard trotting horse.

THE PACING STANDARD.

When an animal meets these requirements and is
duly registered, it shall be accepted as a standard-bred
pacer:

1. The progeny of a registered standard pacing
horse and a registered standard pacing mare.

2. A stallion sired by a registered standard pacing
horse, provided his dam and grandam were sired by
registered standard pacing horses, and he himself has
a pacing record of 2:25 and is the sire of three pacers
with records of 2:25, from different mares.

3. A mare whose sire is a registered standard
pacing horse and whose dam and grandam were sired
by registered standard pacing horses, provided she
herself has a pacing record of 2:25, or is the dam of
one pacer with a record of 2:25.

4. A mare sired by a registered standard pacing
horse, provided she is the dam of two pacers with
records of 2:25.

5. A mare sired by a registered standard pacing
horse, provided her first, second and third dams are
each sired by a registered standard pacing horse.

6. The progeny of a registered standard trotting
horse out of a registered standard pacing mare, or of
a registered standard pacing horse out of a registered
standard trotting mare.

Louis Newman, known on nearly every race track
on the Pacific Coast as "Professor" Newman, died at
St. Mary's Hospital, in this city, last Tuesday. New-
man was a native of New York and came from a good
family. He was a good accountant, quite a student of
thoroughbred pedigrees and during recent years had
eked out a living by making tabulations and doing odd
jobs in that line.

Strike! — if they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda

Senator Joe Bailey of Texas is not only a statesman
of considerable renown, but he has some very well
defined ideas and positive convictions concerning the
trotters. Senator Bailey is now in Lexington, where
he has branched out in the defi business, along with
Brook Curry and other gentlemen of the blue grass
region. He offers to show his faith in his great stallion
Prodigal by matching his get against that of Silent
Brook in a more substantial way than has been sug-
gested by the latter's owner. Senator Bailey declined
to enter the Representative Stallion Sweepstake upon
the conditions named by Brook Curry, saying: "They
made too cheap an affair out of the proposed race,"
but he hurled his defi at the trotting stallion owners
of the country to day when he announced that he was
willing to race the get of Prodigal against the get of
Silent Brook or any other stallion in a sweepstake
upon the following conditions: The sum of $500 to be
paid when the stallion is named, and an additional
$500 for every colt entered in the race. He says: "Any-
where and any track will suit me."

Fly-Casting at Stow Lake.

The postponed Saturday contest scheduled for Feb-
ruary 16th took place at Stow lake, Golden Gate Park,
last Saturday. Eighteen club members were in attend-
ance, their work during the afternoon being observed
by a large and interested audience of holiday outing
seekers. The weather conditions seemed to have
placed a ban on top records in long distance work, the
west wind interfering somewhat with the back cast.

A meeting and banquet of the club will be held at
the California Hotel on next Tuesday evening. The
scores for last Saturday were the following:

Saturday Contest No 1— Stow Lake, February 22, 1901. Wind
light, west. Weather, fair.

Judges— Messrs. Mansfield and Muller. Referee, Mr. Grant.
Clerk, Mr. Wilson.

Chicago Fly-Casting Club, held Monday evening,
February 10th, the following officers were elected for

What Luck?

Like incense drifting in white clouds through some cathedral dim,
And scenting all the air with perfume from the censer's brim,

The fragrant early sunshine filters through the deep green leaves,
Makes golden figures on the moss— a brilliant carpet weaves.

Through turfy bank, past willows dank,
The stream goes gliding laughingly;

O'er pebbly shoal— the sea its goal.
All checks it leaps o'er, chafflngly.

With all the care that skillful man could take with rod and tackle
1 twirl my reel and through the air I launch my favorite hackle

It lights just like the honey bee on top of clover flower,
As soft as raindrop on the grass in sudden summer shower.

Ah ! trout, good-by ! I hope you'll die
For some more lucky brother angler;

No fish for me 1 The task I'll try
To soothe my wife— she's such a wrangler !

Some fish I'll buy— they don't come high !
And if she asks " What luck ? " I'll lie

Like any other angler.

has consented, in the interim, to do the preliminary
work for the formation of the club. A meeting of
those interested will be held during the San Francisco
Kennel Club show in April.

Among the local fanciers who have expressed their
intention of sending a kennel of four dogs, at least, to
the northern shows, are N. H. Hickman, J. G. Mor-
gan, Charles R. Harley and Irving C. Ackerman.

Wm. Halley writes from Sacramento tbat thecapitol
city club will show under P. K. L. rules. They will
dispense with the poultry exhibit and have accordingly
changed the title of their organization to California
State Kennel Show. The bench show project Is receiv-
ing much encouragement from Sacramentans as well
as from the local fancy.

In a recent letter to Professor James Markland,
"Bittern Bill," who is now in New York city, recounted
the following story:

"The other day several brokers received telephone
orders to buy a certain stock, and notify Mr. Fish at a
given telephone number. Calling up that number the
response was invariably, 'Which one is wanted?' Then
followed this conversation:

'How many of them are there?'

'Several hundred, large and small.'

'I want the head of the firm.'

'Oh, then, you want Col. Jones.'

'Col. Jones? No, I want Mr. Fish. Who in thunder
are you?1

'The Aquarium!' ''

Bench Show Notes.

Like all good things, Jackson's Napa Soda has a
dozen counterfeits. Watch out !

Judging from the continued generous responses in
the nature of specials, interest in the April show is
increasing. Among prizes reported tbis week we will
enumerate as follows:

From the American Fox Terrier Club for best Amer-
ican bred novice smooth, wire novice and wire-haired

Puppy-
Thomas Cogan, Esq., of Boston, a "Blue Ribbon"
collar for best Boston Terrier.

Mrs. E. Colwell, a silver and cut glass trophy for
best red Cocker.

Pacific Fox Terrier Club, Produce Stakes for 1902,
$5 each, for best puppy, novice, limit and open, for
dogs and bitches

Mrs. K. Bradley-Dyne of Sidney, B. C, for best
Terrier (Boston excluded) owned and exhibited by a
lady.

Ed F. Haberlein, for best English Setter puppy.
Mr. Haberlein is a prominent Eastern handler and
trainer and is the author of tbe "Amateur Trainer,"
an authority.

J. P. Norman, silver cup for best wire-haired Fox
Terrier owned in California.

E. C. Plume, for best Cocker sired by one of Plumeria
Kennels' stud dogs. Donor not to compete.

J. P. Brown, $5 for best smooth Fox Terrier puppy
bred and owned by exhibitor residing west of the
Ro^ky mountains.

A number of specials, silver cups, are offered, to be
awarded at the discretion of the Bench Show Commit-
tee, among the donors are Livington Jenks, Charles
K. Harley and Lester K. Wells.

The premium list will be issued in about two weeks;
already, at this early date, inquiries for entry blanks,
etc., are being received daily at the office of the club,
No. 138 Montgomery street, in a most encouraging
manner.

The inducements offered by the management of the
northern shows to California handlers are very invit-
ing. Seattle and Portland will offer $20 for a string of
ten dogs, $50 for twenty-five dogs, $75 for forty dogs,
S100 for fifty dogs. If more than one handler from
California will go north, a premium of $10 extra will
be given to the handler of the largest string of dogs.
Victoria, while not expected to offer so much, will cer-
tainly come forward handsomely with handlers' prizes.
These offers, it would seem, will surely be an object
for one or two men to take a good string of dogs to the
northern circuit.

The San Francisco Kennel Club will not be backward
in making special inducements to northern handlers —
these offers will be supplemented by offers from one or
the other California shows.

Mr. J. P. McConnell, the secretary of the Victoria
show, writes that the April show will have possibly
fifteen or twenty dogs from Victoria.

Another new specialty organization, a Pacific Boston
Terrier Club, it is confidently expected will soon be
formed. We have the material here in such formidable
kennels as are owned by Albert Joseph, of this city,
Graham E. Babcock, of Coronado, and several other
prominent fanciers and owners. The prospects of a
strong organization look bright. Fanciers interested
in the breed should communicate with L. A. Klein,
No. 138 Montgomery street, San Francisco. Mr. Klein

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

One of the latest novelties in the boot and shoe line
are rubber boots for dogs, which are sold by several
dealers in leather goods in New York. They cost
about $4.75 for a set of four. The idea comes from
Paris.

An all whitelitter of handsome strong puppies, eight
of them, now demand* the motherly attention of
Woodlawn Kennels' Newmarket Queen. The whole
batch of youngsters favor Woodcote Wonder to a
remarkable degree. John Bradshaw believes the
"nick" is a great one.

A notable English Setter breeding was the recent
visit of Ben J. Baum's Rod's Sylvia (Rod field-Countess
Diana), bred by H. L. Betten, to Thos. J. Wattson's
Starlight (Dan Gladstone-Miss Alice). Starlight will
be remembered as a field trial winner and the sire of
some good field dogs, this will be tbe first time in
several years since he has been in the stud.

Cruft's show had 2898 entries. This number seems
huge and even dwarfs our W. K. C, but it must be
remembered in comparing the two shows, that the
W. K. C. entry is the entry in the regular classes,
while the English show numbers tbe team entries,
braces and so on. At this show Fox Terriers take the
lead with 316 entries, Bulldogs come next with 224; the
others over 100 are, Collies 103, Pomeranians 130,
Retrievers 108, Spaniels 180, Scottish Terriers 130.
Taking out Fox Terriers, Scottish Terriers and Pom-
eranians, we find the American show compares more
than favorably, even runningahead in many materially
popular breeds.

The minimum shooting distance will be twenty-four
yards and the maximum distance thirty-three yards.

AT THE TRAPS.

If the meeting of sportsmen last Tuesday at Ingle-
side is any criterion, trap shooting is destined to have
alively local boom this year. Weather conditions were
almost ideal, the birds supplied were more than a fair
lot, some of them being too speedy for experts who
have faced the traps for years past. Besides a strong
attendance of members of the Golden Gate Gun Club
there was a number of visiting sportsmen. Among
them were Harvey McMurchy of Syracuse, a shotgun
manipulator of national reputation; Captain Ed Taylor,
one of the leading experts on powders and loads in the
United States; H. H. Buehne of Eureka, W. H. Varien
of Capitola, Dr. W. G. Russell of Spokane, J. B. Mc-
Cutchan of Santa Rosa, J. H. Hull of Colorado
Springs, G. Gibson of Colusa, W. A. Robertson, John
K. Orr of Oakland and others.

An innovation was introduced at this pigeon shoot
by Clarence Nauman and Otto Feudner, who both
used hammer shotguns instead of the hammerless
make of breech-loaders, which latter style of gun is
almost universally used out here. Many Eastern and
all the continental experts use hammer guns, alleging
that they are handier and not so apt to get out of
order as the more complicated mechanism of the ham-
merless gun.

The initial live bird shoot for this season was under
the auspices of the Golden Gate Gun Club and was
started with a six bird race. Five men— Otto Feudner,
H. H. Buehne, George H. T. Jackson, Dr. A. T. Derby,
and C. C. Nauman — killed straight and divided the
purse. .

Nine shooters faced the traps in the second match
at ten pigeons, $5 entrance; the high guns who divided
the purse were Otto Feudner and Clarence Nauman,
who killed straight. McMurchy, who scored nine
pigens, took third money.

The third event was a ';miss and out" race; three
shooters, Haight, McMurchy and Feudner, stayed in
the contest until each had tied on nine birds apiece,
when they agreed to divide the purse. In this event
Nauman and Sweeney dropped out on their first birds,
Dr. Derby fell out on his second pigeon. Buehne and
Dr. Russell on the third bird and Ed Donohoe on his
eighth pigeon.

The fourth event was a race at twelve birds, $5 en-
trance, four moneys to high guns; the winners were
Haight. Nauman, Dr. Derby, Dr. Russell and "Slade,"
who each scored clean and divided the purse.

Following the regular events came a number of open,
six-bird pool shoots, at $2.50 entrance. In the first
pool race, McMurchy, Nauman, Feudner and Sweeney,
with six birds grassed apiece divided the pot. J. B.
McCutchan also scored straight, but was not entered
in the side pool.

In another six -bird pool the winners on clean scores,
who spilt the purse, were: McMurchy, Feudner, Nau-

man and A. M. Shields. McCutchan also scored the
limit in this race. Henry Wicker made his first appear-
ance at the traps for some time past.

But two straight scores were made in the next six-
pigeon pool. Nauman and Sweeney divided the pot.
McCutchon again scored clean, shooting for birds only.
The last race of the day and the purse was won by
Donohoe on a straight string. Silver bars for straight
strings of twelve pigeons were won by Haight, Nau-
man, Dr. Derby, Dr. Russell and "Slade."

During the shoot Captain Ed Taylor presented Mc-
Murchy with a flag in honor ot the day. "Prince
Mac" evinced his patriotism by carrying the flag for
some minutes, hanging on one of the back buttons of
his coat.

W. C. Wattles and Henry Wicker liked the game
so well that they have joined the club.

After the pigeon shoot a squad of shooters adjourned
to the blue rock section of the grounds, and smashed
"clay pigeons." C. C. Nauman won a silver bar on a
straight of fifteen breaks.

The second day of the meeting, Sunday, was selected
for blue rock snooting and a program of six events
prepared. An incessant downpour of rain and a heavy
wind prevented the carrying but of the program. A
few enthusiasts, however, were at the trap grounds
and managed, despite the weather, to smash about
3000 targets. But two of the program events were
shot. In the first race at fifteen targets, first money
went to E. L. Forster on a straight, Will Golcher won
second money with fourteen breaks and Otto Feudner
and Clarence Nauman split third money. In the sec-
ond event, also at fifteen targets, Nauman won first
money, "Slade" second and the two Feudners divided
third money.

In practice shooting at twenty-five and fifteen tar-
gets, Nauman won a gold bar and six silver bars, be-
sides winning a silver bar in the second event, on scores
of twenty-five and fifteens straight. Silver bars were
also won by Otto Feudner and Edgar Forster. The
blue rock scores follow:

The merchandise shoot held on the 25th inst. by the
Pomona Gun Club was well attended. Luncheon was
served on the grounds and the shelter provided kept
the shooters from getting wet.

Eight events of ten single birds each were run off.
J. A. Vaughn of Santa Ana, one of the crack shots,
was the high gun in ,all events in class A, with a score
of 74 out of 80. McDonald of Prescott, Ariz., came
second with 72. Gus Knight of San Bernardino was
third with 67.

In class B, C. G. Georgo of Pomona was first with

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

The chairman of the Chalkville delegations stated
last week, "we don't like goose shooting at $15 per."
We believe that statement and give full credit for
sincerity and truth in the utterance.

A certain correspondent took occassion to give the
"ha ha" to the man who would spend that amount
for a day's goose shooting in Glenn county, if as the
chairman asserts the correspondent has "farmed,
hunted and killed wild geese in" every county in
Sacramento valley for so many years we don't see
where he would have the price or the zest left for a
day's indulgence in the sport.

We have not read lor a year or two in the official
organ of this, that and the other, complimentary
notices of the splendid sport afforded at any one of
the professional goose hunters' resorts; we also have
failed to peruse a fullsome account of any member
of the Chalkville delegation indulging in a day's goose
hunting in Glenn or Colusa counties. A few geese may
have been bagged nearer home however, but this is
mere speculation.

We don't know how handy Judge Hughes is in
"loosening up," but if we should ever hear of the
sudden demise of the esteemed chairman, we would
be inclined to attribute it to heart failure induced by
a lacerated wound of the pocket.

The correspondent insists that $15 per day is a devil
of a price to pay, we know several sportsmen who

believe differently because they had a of a lot

of sport.

The price of $15 per day, at Norman for instance,
pays for meals, lodgings, wagon, guide's services,
some incidental creature comforts, and a number of
things that go to make a shooting trip comfortable.
The price may be prohibitive for some individuals and
is too high to allow of a chalk mark, but for those
who can afford it and who care to pay the score a
day's good shooting can be had.

The handicaps of the California Wing Club which
were prepared for the initial shoot to-morrow were
arranged by a committee appointed at a general meet-
ing of the club. The geotlemen selected to fix the
handicap distances are experienced trap shooters and
personally acquainted with the shooting abilities of
the club members. The handicap was prepared, sub-
mitted and accepted; the same eliciting remarks of
general satisfaction from the club members, a proof
that the confidence of the club in the committee's
intelligence had not been overestimated.

The comment of a weekly paper criticising the
initial shooting marks given Messrs. Williamson,
Sweeney, Donohoe, Neustadter, Forster and Vernon
is not founded on logic or a fair knowledge of the
shooters' abilities. We take this comment more in
the nature of an insidious flattery, for which the
managerial "pregnant hinges of the knee is crooked
that thrift may follow fawning." An occasional
appearance at a trap shoot, the persistent buttonholing
of shooters for the discussion of abstruse problems on
game protection and incessant importunity for sub-
scriptions does not qualify anyone a6 an authority on
distance handicaps for pigeon shooters. The schedule
of handicaps for the first shoot are not absolutely
permanent, should any of the shooters be over or
under handicapped, the marks will be changed ac-
cordingly and as provided for. We do not believe
there will be many changes, until several shoots are
had at least. __

W. E. Newbert and W. H. Young of Sacramento
recently enjoyed a trip to Norman, in Glenn county,
in quest of wild geese, and report a fine day's shooting,
despite the fact that it rained heavily and there was
such a strong wind blowing that the geese could hardly
fly against it. However, 173 brant fell to their guns,
and they enjoyed tho trip greatly. While there, they
were informed that the farmers of that locality were
employing gangs of men to herd the mallard ducks off
their sprouting grain and were slaughtering vast num-
bers of the birds, which were allowed to stay on tho
ground where they fell.

We regret 'o note that R. A. Lau, of J. H. Lau <t
Co., (United States agents for Ballistite), 75 Chambers
street, New York, had his hand quite severely injured
by the premature explosion of somo fuse which be was
testing. The accident confined him to his home for
two weeks, but the injury was not of a nature to make
amputation necessary, and Mr. Lau is now fully re-
covered and attending to business as usual, apparently
none the worse for his unpleasant experience.

The Grand American Handicap for 1902.

The Grand American Handicap at live birds has
become so well known, and its prominence so generally
conceded, that an extended introductory notice is
unnecessary. However, The Interstate Association
does assure their patrons and sportsmen at large that
the tenth annual event will, like its predecessors, be a
success. The same standards followed in the past —
the securing of the greatest benefit to the greatest
number— will be adhered to. They have heretofore
given satisfaction, and will undoubtedly do so in the
future.

The Grand American Handicap Live Bird Tour-
- nament for the year 1902 will be held at Blue River
Shooting Park, Kansas City. Mo., March 31st to April
5th. This is the first time since its inception that it
was arranged to be held in western territory. This
change of place for holding the Grand American
Handicap, the greatest trap shooting event in the
world, has been urged for years past by some of the
most staunch supporters of the Interstate Association,
and as the western people are cosmopolitan in their
views, the management has decided that they were
entitled to recognition on account of their energy,
public spirit and loyalty — essentials which have largely
made the Grand American Handicap at live birds a
success in past years — and has therefore yielded to
their wishes. An impression has been formed in
some quarters that the Interstate Association is an
eastern enterprise. Such is not the case. It is guided
and governed by purely business considerations and
justice to its patrons. The program as announced for
the meeting is the following:

First day — Monday, March 31 — Blue River Park
Introductory. — Eight birds: So entrance, birds extra:
30 yards rise; four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10% high
guns, not class shooting. Ties will not be shot off,
and they must divide.

Kan=as City Sweepstakes. — Twelve birds; $7 en-
trance, birds extra; 30 yards rise. Number of moneys
determined by number of entries. High guns, not
class shooting. This event must be finished at the
close of the shooting on this day: therefore the Inter-
state Association reserves the authority to change
the three misses out rule and drop ail who have
missed one or more birds, and also to close the event
at the end of the eighth round if, in the judgement of
the management, it is deemed advisable to do so.
Ties will not be shot off, and they must divide.

Second day — Tuesday, April 1 — Nitro Powder
Handicap. — Sixteen birds; $10 entrance, birds extra;
handicaps, 25 to 33 yards; number of moneys deter-
mined by number of entries received. The handicaps
contestants receive for the Grand American Handicap
will govern in this event. High guns, not class shoot-
ing. This event must be finishea at the close of the
shooting on this day; therefore the Interstate Asso-
ciation reserves the authority to change the three
misses out rule and drop all who have missed one or
more birds, and also to close the event at the end of
the twelfth round if , in the j udgment of the manage-
ment, it is deemed advisable to do so. Ties will not
be shot off, and they must divide.

Time permitting, miss and out events will be
arranged to suit contestants.

Third and fourth days — Wednesday and Thursday,
April 2 and 3 — The Grand American Handicap.—
Twenty-five birds; §25 entrance, birds extra: high guns,
not class shooting: handicaps 25 to 33 yards; forty (40)
yards boundary with a dead line at the 33 yard mark;
$1500 guaranteed by the Interstate Association, and
all surplus added. Sterling silver trophy and S600 to
first high gun, 8500 to second high gun and $400 to
third high gun. All money in the purse in excess of
the $1500 will be divided in accordance with the num-
ber of entries received. Regular entries close Satur-
day, March 22d, and must be accompanied by $10 for-
feit. The remaining $15 may be paid up to" the time
the last man fires at his first bird. Entries mailed in
envelopes bearing postmarks dated March 22d will be
accepted as regular entries. Penalty entries may be
made after March 22d, up to the time the last man
fires at his first bird, by paying $35. All entries must
be made on application blanks, and they will be
received at the New York office, Edward Banks
Secretary-Treasurer, 318 Broadway, New York, X. Y.
The division of moneys is too voluminous for re^
printing here, but copies of the program, containing
full particulars, can be obtained from Secretary Banks

Fifth day-Friday, April 4— The Grand American
Handicap. — If not finished the previous day.

Consolation Handicap — Sixteen birds; $10 entrance
birds extra; handicaps 25 to 33 yards; number of
moneys determined, by number of entries received.

guns, not class shooting. "

Jackson County Sweepstakes —Twelve birds; $7
entrance, birds extra; 30 yards rise; number of moneys
determined by number cf entries. High guns, not

determined by number of entries. High guns, not
class shooting.

XOTES.
The division of moneys for the Grand American
Handicap event, in excess of the $1500 purse guaran-
teed, is graded on a sliding scale conditional with the
number of entries. By this division three (3) places
are created for each ten (10) entries over sixty (60).
It is not possible for fourth money to exceed third,
and the moneys would seem divided in such manner as
to be just to all. For instance: If there are 70 en-
tries, fourth high gun would receive $85, and the sixth
high gun $82.50. If 100 entries, fourth high gun would
receive $100, and the fifteenth high gun $70. If 222
entries (the number last year), fourth high gun would
receive $283.50, and the fifty-fourth high gun $40.50.
Should there be more than 260 entries, all money in
excess of $6500 (that is, 260 entries at $25 each) will be
divided into sixty-three equal parts and added to the
different amounts due the sixty-three (63) high guns.
In the 12 and 16-bird events, a system will prevail
somewhat similar to that adopted for the Grand Amer-
ican Handicap — the total amount of the purse being
divided in accordance with the number of entries
received. In the 8-bird events it will be high guns
pure and simple, the total amount of the purse being
divided into four moneys.

Shooting will commence at 9 o'clock A. M. sharp
each day.

The Interstate Association trap shooting rules will
govern all points not otherwise provided for. The
rules have been revised, and contestants are requested
to familiarize themselves with them. Four sets of
Fulford automatic traps, underground system, will be
used.

No guns larger than 12 gauge allowed : weight of
guns limited to 8 pounds. The standard bore of the
gun is No. 12, and all contestants will be handicapped
on that basis. Contestants using guns of smaller bore
must stand on the mark allotted to them.

In order to expedite the shooting, a contestant miss-
ing three birds in any event (except the Grand Ameri-
can Handicap) will be dropped out, but will be called
up to shoot in case he has a chance to win any portion
of the purse.

To prevent delays at Nos. 2, 3 and 4 sets of traps, a
contestant who happens to score his third miss on
either No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 set of traps must finish
that round of four birds irrespective of the fact of his
having three misses to his credit. If a contestant
drops out after starting in on a round, the unfinished
shots will be scored as misses, and the birds will be
charged to him.

Contestants calling, "nobird," before seven ballshave
been thrown at birds slow to start will be charged for
same; after seven balls have been thrown it is no bird
at the expense of the management.

Contestants must supply themselves with no bird
tickets, which can be oDtained at the cashier's office.
These tickets are also good for byes or for tie birds.
Unused no bird tickets are redeemable for cash at the
cashier's office.

Winners of money in any event must apply to the
compiler of scores for orders on the cashier for the
money due them. No money will be paid out by the
cashier except on receipt of such an order. Contestants
who have rebates coming to them for birds not shot
at must apply to the compiler of scores for rebate
tickets, which will be redeemed for cash at the cashier's
office.

Contestants will not be permitted to gather their
birds, nor to appoint someone to gather for them. All
birds will be gathered, in a manner designated by the
association, the moment the bird touches the ground.
AH ties that are shot off will be miss and out, and
the original distances contestants stood at will govern.
Birds will be extra in all events. When entering for
any event, the contestant must pay for all birds called
for in that event, in addition to the entrance fee.
Money will be refunded for all birds not shot at on
application to the compiler of scores, who will furnish
rebate tickets which will be redeemed for cash at the
cashier's office.

The association reserves the authority to postpone
the Grand American Handicap on account of bad
weather or other important cause if, in the judgment
of the management, such postponement i3 necessary.
The order of shooting in the Grand American Handi-
cap is determined by lot by the handicap committee.
The manner of shooting the Grand American Handi-
cap this year (and, in fact, all events scheduled for
the tournament), is as follows: Contestants will be
called to the firing point in turn, shooting their first
bird at No. 1 set of traps; as soon as a contestant has
shot at his first bird, he passes on to No. 2 set and
shoots at his second bird on that set; he then passes
on to No. 3 set and shoots at his third bird on that
set; he then shoots at another bird on No. 4 set and
retires until it is time for him to go out and shoot at
his fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth birds: and so on.

The official score will be kept on a score sheet in
view of the contestant. After shooting at a bird it
will be the duty of the contestant to look at the score
sheet and see to it that the right result is recorded.
In case of error it must be corrected at once, as no
appeal will be allowed after the contestant has left and
passed on to the next set of traps.

A contestant missing five birds will be dropped out,
but he will be called up to shoot in case he has a
chance to win any portion of the purse. To facilitate
shooting, and to prevent delays at Nos. 2, 3, and 4 sets
of traps, a contestant who happens to score bis miss
on either No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 set of traps must
finish that round of four birds, irrespective of the fact
of his having five misses to his credit. If a contestant
drops out alter starting in a round, the unfinished
shots will be scored as misses, and the birds will be
charged to him.

Every contestant will be numbered, each entry be-
ing known by his number when called to the firing
point. A small tag will be affixed to each contestant's
back, giving his number on the shooting list, and also
his handicap in yards. This will enable the referee
to see at a glance if the contestant is at his right
mark; and will also enable contestants, spectators and

scorers to tell who is at the firing point by merely
referring to the list of entries numbered in shooting
order.

Each contestant must supply himself with five no
bird tickets.

In case the Grand American Handicap entries are so
numerous that it is impossible to finish in good light
on April 2d, the management reserves the authority
to stop the shooting at any time it may deem it neces-
sary. In this case the shooting will commence at 9
a. M. sharp April 3d. Positively no entry will be
taken, nor shooting up allowed, after the last* man has
shot at his first bird. The association reserves the
right to refuse any entry.

Regular entries must be made on or before March
22d. Entries mailed in envelopes bearing postmarks
dated March 22d will be accepted as regular entries.
All entries must be made on application blanks, and
they will be received by Edward Banks, secretary-
treasurer, at the New York office, 318 Broadway. New
York. N. Y. It is requested that entries for theGrand
American Handicap be made in ample time to permit
the sending of receipt and admission ticket, and for
same to reach the maker of entry prior to his departure
for Kansas City. All entries must be accompanied by
the maker's full name and address, which will be with-
held from publication if desired, and shooting name
only will be used When making an entry by mail,
remittances covering amount of forfeit ($10) should be
made by bank check, draft, postoffice money order,
express money order or registered letter. Make all
checks,drafts,postoffice money orders or express money
orders payable to the Interstate Association. Bank
checks, drafts or Dills of exchange will not be received
at the cashier's office in payment for balance due on
entries: nor will any check, draft or bill of exchange
be cashed during the tournament. This rule will be
strictly enforced.

An official record will be made of the make of gun,
kind of powder, shot and shell used by each contestant.
This record will be compiled by an official appointed
for the purpose, and contestants will be required to
furnish such information as is necessary. The associ-
ation reserves the right to select two cartridges from
contestant (to test the same for proper loading), the
selection to be made at any time, when a contestant
is at the firing point.

Contestants are requested to make sure that their
guns are not over eight pounds in weight, as all guns
will be weighed at the firing point." Guns will be
weighed without hand hold, and without recoil pad
that can be readily detached from the gun. Silver's
recoil pad, or pads of that nature, are considered part
of the gun.

There will not be any lockers. Clothing and ammu-
nition will be checked, but guns will not be received or
checked. The shooting box will contain a sufficient
number of gun racks to meet all requirements. The
association will not be responsible for guns under any
circumstances. The checking of ammunition and
clothing will be done gratis, and the management of
Blue River Shooting Park has courteously consented
to provide a check room similar to those in use at
hotels, but the system will not include guns. Con-
testants desiriDg to leave guns at the cloak room over
night may do so at their own risk. This announce-
ment is made thus explicit in order that contestants
may know just what to expect, and that they may avoid
any possible misunderstanding and disappointment.

The comfort and convenience of the contestants as
well as the spectators has been looked after carefully,
inasmuch as the entire shooting box is closed in and
heated throughout. A warm and substantial lunch
will be served each day in ».he club house for 50 cents.
An admission fee to the park will not be charged,
but, in order to keep out any undesirable element,
admittance to the shooting grounds will be by card
of admission, which can be obtained, free of charge,
by applying to any of the subscribers to the Interstate
Association, the secretary-treasurer, the manager, or
R. S. Elliott i: Co. To reach Blue River Park— from
the hotels in Kansas City — take Ninth, Twelfth or
Fifteenth street cable cars, and ask for transfer (at he
time of paying fare) to the Independence electric line,
which passes Blue River Park. The fare is five cents,
and each of the cable lines issues transfers to the elec-
tric line. Guns, ammunition, etc., forwarded by ex-
press must be prepaid and sent to R. S. Elliott & Co.,
807 Delaware street, Kansas City, Mo.

The handicapping committee is composed of John
M. Lilly, Indianapolis, Ind., chairman; C. W. Budd,
Des Moines, Iowa; Chris Gottlieb, Kansas City; Louis
Erhardt, Atchinson. Kan. ; Arthur Gambell, Cincinnati.
Edward Banks will be compiler of scores. Elmer E.
Shaner will be secretary to the committee, but will have
no vote in the handicapping of contestants. The handi-
cap committee will meet at the Midland Hotel, Kansas
City, at 9:30 a. m., March 27th, five days after the
closing of regular entries (March 22d), but handicaps
will not be announced until March 30th.

The official corps of referees will be Messrs. W. Y.
Rieger. of Kansas City, Mo. : E. P. Frisbee. Des Moines,
Iowa; J. G Smith, of Algona, Iowa, and Henry S. Mc-
Donald, of Omaha, Neb. They are all familiar with
the rules, have had extensive experience in this par-
ticular line, are well known to trap shooters generally
and fully capable in every respect to fill the position
satisfactorily. Further, the tournament being held in
the West, the association deemed it 'eminently fit that
the referees should come from that section.

At a meeting of the interstate Association, held at
Madison Square Garden, January 17, 1898, the follow-
ing resolution was introduced:

"That all paid representatives, whether paid in
shells, guns, money or otherwise, and all those con-
nected in any way with companies manufacturing guns,
shot, shell, powder, targets and traps, shall be barred
from participating in sweepstakes and purses, But will
be perfectly welcome to shoot for targets only and dis-
play their goods. The decision as to who such paid
men are to be left at all tinier to the manager, whose
decision shall be final."

Resolved, "That the foregoing does not apply in
any way to the Grand American Handicap Live Bird
Tournament.''

The Grand Prix du Casino at Monte Carlo.

The thirty-first contest for the Grand Prix du
Casino was brought to a conclusson on Saturday
afternoon, February 1st., after three days' continuous
shooting. Nothing could not have been more agree-
able than the start, for Thursday was an ideal Riviera
day, thesun shining brightly, with a pleasant breeze,
which had a very invigorating effect upon the birds;
but rain commenced to fall in the night, and it con-
tinued as though likely to last. The Grand Prix had,
for some reason or other, evoked much more interest
than usual, and it was quite certain that the com-
petitors would be far more numerous than last year,
when only eighty-three shot. But this was quite ex-
ceptional, and the great drop in numbers was owing
to the collective abstention of the English, who
agreed not to shoot, owing to the death of Queen
Victoria on the eve of the contest. There were then
about thirty English entered, but this total has been
largely exceeded on the present occasion, as the 137
competitors (so far as it is possible to make out with
so many assumed names) about forty-three British
shooters, while the Italians mustered in about equal
force, the French and Belgians making up nearly as
many. Germany, Austria, Russia and Holland also
had a few representatives, but the only Spaniard
shooting was Count O'Brien, who won two years ago.
M. Guyot, the young Frenchman who won last year,
was not in the field this time, and among other noted
shots missing were M. Dreyon, M. de Dorledot, Count
L. Gajoli, Count Voss, and Mr. Walters. However,
there were quite enough competitors to cover the
three days allowed for the shooting, and it was as
much as ever could be done to get through two rounds
on the first day, and as many more on the second, so
that the prospect of finishing that evening was not a
very rosy one, as three misses only put the competitor
out, although the stewards wisely decided at the close
of the fifth round not to call up those who had missed
two, as their chances were practically hopeless. There
were 37 misses in the first round, which was led off by
Signor Guidicini, the triple winner being among those
who failed.

The birds were not at all good at this stage, and in
the second round on Thurslay only 31 missed. The
third and fourth rounds were shot Friday, and the
former was very fatal to the shooter, half of whom, 68
out of 137, misse. . The birds were again good in the
fourth round, as of the 133 who shot in it, no fewer
than 61 missed, and the state of the poll at the end of
the day was that 19 had killed all 4, and that 39 had
killed 3 out of 4. It was necessary, therefore, to make
an early start Saturday morning, despite the rain,
and the first shot in the fifth round was fired on the
stroke of noon, 2S misses being registered to 115 kills-
It was at this juncture that the stewards decided not
to call up those who had missed twice, so that only 58
were left to shoot in the sixth round, and of these, IS
missed. There were only 44 left to shoot in the
seventh round, and of these, 28 killed and 16 missed,
while the eighth round effected a still greater clear-
ance, as out of 34 who shot 15 missed, and there were
oaly 211eftto take part in tne ninth round. Fourteen
only were qualified to compete in the tenth round, and
the only two who missed were Signor Miola and Signor
Lainoti, but when this round had been completed, only
three had killed all their birds, these being the Italians
G Grasselli and Schiannini, and Mr. Wood. But nine
others had made one miss, so that they were entitled
to shoot, as in the event of the three others missing
they would be on the same line. Mr. Radclyffe and
Lord Rosslyn led off with kills from the right and
second traps, but Signor Marconcini was put out by a
clean miss from the second trap, while Signor Schian-
nini had bad luck, as a strong bird from the right trap
fell dead just outside the boundary. The same fate
befell Signor Catenacci, and then CounG O'Brien put
in a good second barrel, which stopped a bird from
the fourth trap, Mr. Kennedy also killing with his sec-
ond barrel. Mr. Wood and Signor Grasselli both
maintained their unbeaten scores, but Mr. W. Blake
and Mr. Roberts- were both put out, the former's bird
escaping, whereas Mr. Roberts killed his. but it
dropped on the wrong side of the railing.

This round concluded with Signor Anselmi's failure,
and thus seven were left to shoot in the twelfth round
— two who had killed 11 (Signor Grasselli and Mr.
Wood) and five who had missed only once. It was
evident, therefore, that if one or both of the two first-
named killed, the contest would be over, so far as first
place was concerned. Mr. Radclyffe started with a
miss from the fourth trap, but Lord Rosslyn killed his
from the same trap, Signor Schiannini following suit
with abird from the rigrht trap. Signor Grasselli then
stopped a not very difficult bird from the centre trap,
so that he was sure of being either first or second.
Count O'Brien again killed from the right trap, but
Mr. Kennedy destroyed all chance of coming in for the
place money, and last of all, Mr. Wood came forward
to finish the round. It was rather a nervous moment
for him, knowing, as he did, that if he missed, the

first place was gained by Signor Grasselli, and that the
best he could hope for was to take the money for
second, third or fourth, and he betrayed his precipita-
tion by takiDg the wrong gun. But this error was
soon rectified, and there was a silence as he came for-
ward to shoot. He got a very smart bird from the
right trap, and quite failed to stop it, so that the con-
test was over, so far as the first place was concerned,
Signor Grasselli being the only one of the 137 compet-
itors who had killed his 12. He has been shooting at
Monte Carlo for many seasons, and killed last year 110
ont of 151, while a younger brother won the Grand
Prix upon the last occasion of its falling to the share
of an Italian.

The winner's countrymen were jubilant at the result,
and Signor Grasselli shot so steadily that he well de-
served his victory. Lord Rosslyn, Signor Schiannini,
Count O'Brien and Mr. Wood were left to shoot off
the ties for second, third and fourth moneys, as each
of the four had killed 11 out of 12. In the first round
of the ties Lord Rosslyn and Signor Schiannini both
killed from the fourth trap, while Count O'Brien
brought his bird down with the second barrel from
the second, Mr. Wood dropping his from the center
trap. The four competitors all killed again in the
next two rounds, bub in the fourth Lord Rosslyn missed
a fast bird from the fourth trap, Count O'Brien from
the right and Mr. Wood from the left. The three
men left did not agree upon a division and the next
round settled the matter, as Signor Schiannini's bird
from the fourth trap fell dead outside, while Count
O'Brien missed his from the center trap. Mr. Wood,
who was the last of the three to shoot, brought his
bird down, but it was a very near thing, as the pigeon,
badly hit, flew toward the stand and fell just inside the
railing. Mr. Wood, who had shot there four years ago,
thus became entitled to the £434 second money, the
two others agreeing to divide the £558 for third and
fourth. Scores:

A Sportsman's Wardrobe.

The latter day sportsman as he sits in a smoking
room, hung around with plates, plain and colored, rep-
resenting hunting, racing, shooting, fishing and base,
ball heroes of a bygone era, may almost thank his
luck he was born so late. We certainly hear of the
superiority of sport in former days over that now en-
jojed; of long runs, the pleasure of shooting in cover
knee hign and various other things, but all this sport
must have been enjoyed amid no little discomfiture as
to the garments worn.

The gunners of old took to the field in high hats,
tightly buttoned green coats and leather leggings reach-
ing up to the hip, while the shoulders were burdened and
arms confined by the weight of shot belt or pouch.
When the pendulum began to swing the old-fashioned^
costume was discarded; and by all except the owners
of large shootings, and old clothes were considered
good enough for shooting in, and the shooting jacket
was only differentiated from other lounge coats from
the fact of its having large pockets on the inside of the
skirt. Within the last quarter of a century, however,
a great change has come over the sportsman's ward-
robe, and, perkaps, it is not untrue to say that the
supply has, to a great extent, created the demand.

Arrangements have been planoed whereby cartridges
can be carried with the least inconvenience and the
designers of coats have set to work to devise garments
which shall allow of the arms being extended without
a feeling of constraint being at any time experienced.
Some makers have given their customers elastic pleats,
which yield when the gun is brought to the shoulder.
One firm has at least adopted the plan of using a loosely
woven material cut on the cross at the back, which
allows the material to expand to the utmost without
the use of any elastic, which must give way after a
time, and various other dodges have been adopted in
the hope that the gunner may be comfortably clothed.
In connection with the nether garments, too, the same
bid for popularity has been made. In lieu of the old
light tweed, or sometimes leather breeches worn by
our ancestors during the season, we have light, easy-
fitting knickerbockers, seamless here and seamless
there, and stockings with stout legs and thin feet, and
'tis not till we come to put these thin-footed stockings
into boots that we remember how much is left to be
desired.

In olden days the cut of breeches was a matter of
comparatively little moment; they were generally worn
very tight, and being decidedly short from hip to
knee, riders must have suffered much discomfort
therefrom, but now a few firms have taken the matter
in hand, and now the old tightness has given way to
a comfortable laxity in garments, but as in the case of
top boots it is not every one who can turn out a proper
pair of hunting breeches. There is a proper size for
button at the knee, and a certain number must be
shown above the boot, yet of the e details none but
the specialist takes any note In the matter of coats,
save so far as has been already mentioned, it is chiefly
cut and fit that has been changed. Hunting men are
not now content with a sort of sack, while a coat too
long or too short is at once conspicuous. The all-
round sportsman needs a tolerably extensive wardrobe.

Prices for sportsmen's clothing, especially heavy or
waterproof shooting jackets, seem to be about the
same in Germany as those that obtain in this country.
But one thing is noticed in the German article — namely,
the closer fit and neater form. This is also noticed in
the shooting jackets worn by Englishmen. In both
these countries a snugly fitting blouse-like garment is
generally seen, while in America the loose and baggy
shooting coat with its numerous pockets seems to be
preferred. The German and the English articles have
ample pockets for cartridges and other things likely
to be needed in a day's hunt, but in those countries
game is not carried in the coat so much as in America,
a game bag or strap being used for the purpose. The
most popular thing in Germany for this purpose seems
to be a sort of haversack, with capacious pockets,
which is carried on the back, strapped over the
shoulders, being convenient and not in the way.

A unique hunting shoe is made by a German firm.
The upper consists of only two pieces, one around the
heel, coming to the middle of the foot, and the other
piece forming the front part of the shoe, the seam
being on the side a? in a cavalry boot. It fastens with
a clasp above and behind the ankle, thus leaving no
seams through which water could enter. These shoes
are made with cork and leather or rubber soles, and
should prove a valuable article to hunters.

Smokeless vs. Black Powders.

The representative of a manufacturer of nitro
powders was speaking recently to several friends on
Sportsmen's Row, of the boom that the work of
smokeless powder in the late war with Spain had
given to the products of the firm he represented. In-
quiries in regard to the use of nitro powders were
coming in from all sides from people who had never
shot a load of anything except black powder in the
whole of their shooting career. Some of the inquiries,
he said, were very amusing, as they showed an abso-
lute lack of even the slightest knowledge of the use
of smokeless powders in shotguns. Complaints , too.
were often received from parties who had "tried your
powder and found it no good." In nearly ever;,
instance it was found that attempts had been niudc to
load the powder in shells intended for the use of
black powder only, or else in brass shells, without a
crimp to confine the powder and shot! Black powder
will give good results without the shells being crimped
or turned down: but nitro powders require a firm
crimp, i. e., close confinement, in order to bring out
the best results.

Meet Your Friends
at the Palace Hotel

Tourists and Travelers who
make the Palace their headquar-
ters are surrounded with conve-
niences and comforts such as are
not obtainable in any other hotel
in the West. Off the court are
the grill rooms, telegraph and
telephone offices, writing rooms,
barber shop, billiard parlor, car-
riage office, book stand and type-
writer offices.

On one side of this immense
hotel — the largest in the world —
is the wholesale and manufactur-
ing district; on the other thea-
tres, retail stores, clubs, railroad
offices, banks and newspaper
buildings.

Street cars to all parts of the
city — depots, ferries, Cliff House
and parks — pass the entrance.

American Plan. European Plan

The man who believes that the sheep
business haa been overdone should have
his attention directed to the fact that in
the United States, not including Alaska,
there is one sheep to each 45 acres of land.
In Great Britain they have one sheep to
each three acres, in France one to nine
acres and in Germany one to eleven acres.
If the United States had as many sheep
in proportion as Great Britain there would
be little need of importing wool.

rightly ranks among the most promising young sires of the land. That he is now in public service in
California is a fact for which breeders may be grateful. He is already proving a sire of speed and
gameness, together with si2e, superb style and high action, transmitting these qualities to every foal

deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132.000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing this one fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curable in about 87% of all case*. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

Also, as the official records show. 54 per cent of the

entire pnrse won with Parkers; 37.5 per cent of all the

guns winning money were Parkers; and 34.6 per cent of all guns entered

were Parkers, which proves that the Parker is unquestionablv the most

popular and "reliable" eun in the world.

THE LOS ANGELES ASSOCIATION has fallen
in line and will have no books on the trotting and
pacing races this year. Los Angeles wants to hold its
meeting October 4th to 11th, beginning on Saturday
and ending on the Saturday following. If Bakersfield
will take the week beginning September 29th, and
the Breeders can get the Fresno track for the pre-
ceding week, what a grand wind-up the California
circuit of 1902 could have. Los Angeks will give a big
lot of very liberal purses for trotters and pacers and
will close entries on July 1st. Bakersfield does not
propose to be outdone by any district in the State and
will soon announce purses that will meet the approba-
tion of horse men. The Breeders will give their usual
program of big purses with two or three sensational
events. Stockton, the State Fair, Woodland, "Vallejo,
Napa, Oakland and San Jose are all in liDe this year,
so that there wnl be a California Grand Circuit of at
least eleven weeks. There are more green trotters
and pacers at work than last year at this time and
many more are getting ready, while all the sound
record horses are being jogged while their owners are
waiting for announcement . Let every horseman and
association in California go to work immediately to
boost and boom harness racing this year. A general
pull together will result in the largest purses and the
best races seen here since the good old days, while the
barring of the books will restore the confidence of the
public and all will turn out to see the races.

BOSTON'S BIG MEETING is the biggest thing
yet announced for 1902. The New England Trot-
ting Horse Breeders' Association has hung up the
largest purses so far for its meeting at Readville that
have been offered for years. The Massachusetts, that
great race for trotters of the 2:12 class is for $15,000, a
small fortune in itself. There are two other purses of
$5000 each, two of $3000 and one of $2000. This makes
$33,000 simply as a starter. Entries to these purses
close next Monday, March 10th. Make out your
entries to-night and mail them

SEATTLE'S PROGRAM pleases the horsemen and
there will be a number of California breeders who
will make entries up there this year. Those who go
north should remember that entries to these races will
close April 1st, and not be left out. The 2:16 pacers
have a purse of $1000 offered and the 2:30 trotters one
of the same amount. Some good stakes are hung up
for runners, but these close later.

KENTUCKY FUTURITY, $21,000, at an entrance
fee of $5 per mare. This is the great three year
old trotting event of the world, and to win it the desire
of nearly every man who breeds a trotting colt. The
money is divided into three purses. The three year
old trotters start for $14,000 guaranteed. The two
year old trotters have $5000 to go for, while the sum
of $2000 is set aside for the two year olds that pace.
Entries close next Saturday, one week from to-day t
Read the conditions in the advertisement to-day.

THE HARTFORD FUTURITY for foals of 1902 is
the best and ch apest stake for trotters and
pacers in America. It only costs $1 to nominate a
mare in this stake. There is $8500 for the trotters
and $2500 lor the pacers and they are to race as three
year olds. Read the advertisement in this issue.
There is no such stake in the world where one can
make an entry for a dollar. Entries close one week
from Monday next.

COLORADO'S RACING CIRCUIT will be better
than ever this year. Acting Secretary Williams
writes us that horses are coming in from all parts of
the country to be trained on the Colorado tracks and
that the outlook is most pleasing. See the announce-
ment in this issue. Entries close March loth to many
of the purses, which date is just one week from to-day.
All trainers going East should make a note of this.
There is good money hung up in Colorado and espec
ially at Denver.

THE AMERICAN SPORTSMAN of Cleveland, Ohio,
issued a matinee anniversary number February
20th, which is most beautifully illustrated and as full
of good things as an egg is of meat.

Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and
hamlet in the State.

It might be that if some of the leading associations
of California, such as the P. C. T. H. B. A., the State
Agricultural Society aDd one or two more would offer
good, liberal purses for free-for-all pacers this year
they would be able to fill them and have some sensa-
tional racing.

Down at San Jose the fast mare, Miss Logan 2:06j,
is in training and looks and acts better than she ever
did in her life. She has been off the turf two years,
during the first of which she raised a colt by the great
Onward pacer, Colbert 2:07.1. She was bred toMcKin-
ney 2:11 J last year, but is not with foal and has been
put to work again. Her disposition is wonderfully
improved, and if she stands training will be able to
meet anything in the pacing ranks.

Joe Wheeler 2:07.1 is another of the fast side-wheelers
that has been in retirement for some time, but we
have no doubt his owner, C. A. Owens, will take him
up if there is any chance of purses being offered for
his class.

Clipper 2:06, Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick's whirlwind by
Diablo 2:09}, is being given road work regularly by
Budd Doble, and will start in any races for his class
that may be arranged.

Much Better 2:07} by Chas. Derby is in Farmer
Bunch's string and will be ready to race this year
unless maternal duties keep her from being trained

Bonnie Direct 2:05} is in the stud and will probably
go East, but might be induced to stay in California if
a few big purses and opportunities to race for them
were offered.

Kelly Briggs 2:10}, one of the fastest and gamest of
the side-wheelers, will be ready to score down for the
word by July. He may go to the Eastern tracks, but
like all other Californians his owner would rather race
at home if there is any money in sight, and a free-for-
all class would catch him all right

Rey Direct 2:10 is in the stud at Los Angeles, but
can be made ready for summer races, and is in the
free-for-all class when speed is considered.

Myrtha Whips 2:10} is in Oregon, but would prob-
ably come back if big purses were in sight, while that
fast little black rascal, Freddie C. 2:14}, would also
head this way to try conclusions with the free-for-all
gang.

El Diablo 2:12} was one of the contending horses in
all the fastest pacing races in California last season,
and would probably be started again this year.

Sir Albert S. 2:08j, the unbeaten champion of 1901,
is still in the State. Mr. Layng informed us some time
since that the son of Diablo would probably be raced
over East this year, that a party was negotiating for
him; but should the negotiations fall through- it is
more than probable that Mr. Layng would be willing
to enter him in any big purses that might be offered
for his class here at home. Miss Logan, Clipper, Much
Better, Bonnie Direct and Kolly Briggs would be
almost certain to enter against him, and could such
races be assured some of the old-time crowds would be
out to see them.

The association that will hang up a purse of $2000
for pacers of the free-for-all class, and secure the entries
of five or six of these fast ones, will be able to pay the
entire purse out of the gate receipts.

Good Money at Napa.

The Napa Agricultural Society will soon announce
its program of races for its fair this year. A meeting
of the Board of Directors will be held next week, at
which time tho program and conditions will be
arranged. Secretary Bell was in the city this week
and informs us that four purses to close May 1st have
already been decided upon as follows:

2:40 Class, Trotting $800

2:30 Class, Trotting 700

Green Class, Pacing 701 >

2:25 Class, Pacing 600

In addition to these early closing purses, there
will be eight more purses for trotters and pacers, all
for generous amounts and all to be announced early
although the date of closing will be much later than
the others.

There have been many improvements made on the
Napa track by Mr. Arthur Brown, the lessee, all the
buildings and stalls being now in first class condition.
There is no better track to train on, and as Napa will
hold one of the early meetings of the circuit it offers
every inducement to trainers as a place to train and
make speed.

Breeding of King of the Ring.

A correspondent asks for the breeding and record of
the trotter, King of the Ring. He is a chestnut geld-
ing, foaled 1889, by Silver King 3622 (son of Whipple's
Hambletonian and Harvest Queen 2:29A by Hamble-
tonian 10), dam Night Hawk by Brigadier 797,
grandam Nellie McCracken (dam of Balance All 2:29jl
by Billy McCracken. King of the Ring was bred by
the late D. E. Knight, of Marysville, and made hi-
record ol 2:21 at Nevada City, September 26, 1896.

SAN JOSE TRACK NOTES

San Jose, March 1, 1902.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman— As our track
is now in splendid shape, the stables almost all filled
with good material and things are moving at a good,
square gait, reminding one of good old times, I
thought I'd drop you a few items of general interest.
The Directors had a general meeting on Wednesday
last and among other things elected several new mem-
bers. They have also completed all arrangements for
this year's fair and have claimed July 3d, 4th and 5th
for their meetings, which, by the way, will open the
California circuit.

The Vendome Stock Farm with "Farmer" Bunch in
the lead has Thomas R. 2:15, who is looking good and
strong and has been jogged all winter; Nora McKin-
ney 2:16}-. you would hardly recognize, she looks twice
as big as she did last year when she was at Sacra-
mento; Doctor Frasse 2:12J is the same stout little
bulldog that he always was. Boodle Boy 2:29} is out
of Nellie Bly, the dam of Vic Schiller 2:15, Our Boy
2:12} and Our Boy's Sister 2:15; his sire is Boodle 2:121
and "the Farmer'" expects great things of him. He
certainly looks it. Robert I. is a five year 'old now by
Hambletonion Wilkes. He started as a three year
old at Tanforan and drove "Tags" out in 2:15. His
full sister, now three years old, also green, will start
in the Occident stake and looks as if she could win it
now, and another full sister, Rosy, a two year old, is
going through light preparatory work for next year.
She is entered both in the Stanford and Occident
stakes. Then comes Spry Ruth by Boodle 2:121, dam
Nina B. by Electioneer. She went wrong as a two
year old and was bred to Nutwood Wilkes 2:161 and
produced Col. Carter who was sold last year to Sena-
tor Jones, owner of Eleata 2:08}, for $1000. But the
greatest looker in "the Farmer's" string is his colt
Marconi by Boodle 2:123 out of Much Better 2:07}.
For a yearling he is the best developed youngster we
ever saw, besides, his very looks go far to point to-
wards a glorious career for this truly great colt. Iran
Alto 2:12} will also be prepared to race and especially
to lower his mark.

Chas. Durfeeis about as busy as anyone here, and,
as usual, is never too tired to work on his McKinneys.
The old horse looks as well ;nd strong as ever and
will have a large season. His three year old, Cuate,
out of Miss Jessie 2:13|, is entered both in the Stanford
and Occident stakes. He trotted a mile as a two
year old in 2:32, a half in 1:13, and is strong and well.
Charlie is just delighted with him. Miss Jessie 2:13}
was sold to a gentleman in Kansas City. Mr. Doble
drove her a quarter in 31 seconds at the sale and she
will be used on that city's speedway. There are also
three very promising fillies, all by McKinney, two of
them out of the dam of Directum 2:05}, the other being
also out of a Venture mare. Mr. Durfee expects to
perpetuate forever the name of his horse through
these grandly bred mares. He has also another two
year old colt, bought last fall from the Vendome Stock
Farm for $800. His dam is Twenty-third by Director
2:17, second dam Nettie Nutwood, the dam of Hills-
dale 2:15. Several flattering offers have been made
for him but declined. Tommy Keating, a yearling
by Direct 2:05} out of a McKinney mare, is a great
looker, as is also a two-year-old colt by McKinney out
of an Anteeo mare. Charlie has three men hustling
for him and is very busy.

Van Bokkelen has six trotters: Vic Schiller 2:15 by
Hambletonian Wilkes. Thomas Smith by McKinney;
Moffat by Oro Wilkes worked very fast last year;
then two fillies, two and three years old respectively.
_The two year old is by Owyhee 2:11, the three year old
by Chas. Derby 2:20, and are entered in the Occident
and Stanford stakes. Van thinks the hardest work in
winning these events will be to spend the money, for
this filly is bound to win. Van has also purchased lor
Senator White, of Syracuse, N. Y., the bay filly Maud
Maxine Maxwell by Boodle 2:121 out of Maud 2:20,
Harry Agnews' great 'race mare, dam of To Order
2:12} and Boswell Jr. 2:19. Farmer Bunch thinks that
she will be as good a mare as the immortal Ethel
Downs 2:10. Mr. Van Bokkelen expects several more
horses during the month.

John Gordon is at his old stand yet and as con-
scientious as ever in his endeavors to bring out some-
thing good this year. A bay stallion, Yukon, of
medium size, but of the Simon-pure quality and six
years old, by Bay Bird, is all right. Something scar-
ing him the other day he paced through the stretch
with heavy road shoes in 32 secouds to a Chicago cart.
Johnny is well supplied with pacers. A mare also
by Bay Bird is very fast; a bay gelding, big and rangy
with a good head, by Almont Patchen 2:15 out of a
dam is is a full sister to Lady Thornhill 2:1*; but the

cream of his string seems to do a black gelding by C.
W. S. In him the good and staunch blood of Woodford
Mambrino shows .pretty plain. He refused $1500 for
him last year. His stallion, standing at public service,
Silver Arrow by Silver Bow, son of the monarch of
the homestretch, out of Nutwood Weeks, dam of
Ethel Downs 2:10, should not be overlooked by people
who have mares, for the blood of Robert McGregor is
very scarce in these parts and should be well Datromzed,
in view of Crescens' great performances.

Doctor Boucher is also among us with the renowned
Miss Logan 2:061,, who looks ready mouey this moment
and will start through the Eastern circuit. The Doctor
has also a colt, a two year old by Colbert 2:07} son
of the mighty Onward, out of Miss Logan 2:061. He
is hardly broken, but has already shown wonderful
speed.

Mr. Williams of Montana, who had Ratatat and
Shake out last year, has a very promising mare, five
year old by Wild Boy, who will be campaigned this
year. He has also purchased a four year old by Mc-
Kinney out of a McKinney mare, which is surely close
enough bred and yet is level headed, good gaited, with
lots of speed. She isintended for our races. Another
one is a four year old colt by Roy Sid 2:24, who has
just the right way of going and is expected to gather
purses on the California circuit. Mr. Williams also
expects to get Motanic by Chehalis 2:04V on the first
of the month. He will be a good one for the green
classes.

Harry Hellman left with eight head for Portland,
Ore., where he intends to train and stand his stallion
Boodle 2:121.

T: W. Barstow has in training six youngsters by bis
horse Nearest, full brother to the only John A. Mc-
Kerron , 2:06} to wagon, and also a four year old filly
by the same horse who has wonderful speed and will
safely go into the 2:10 list this year. Gentlemen, have
a care!

Thad Hobson, with Joe Gabriel for trainer, is work-
ing six, among them Wild Nutling 2:11}. A four year
old filly by Dictatus 2:171 out of Hazel H. 2:12} is sure
to beat her dam's record. Joe is also handling a four
year old by Brown Jug out of a thoroughbred mare
that looks like the real thing.

Captain Scott can be seen every day behind his
horse Scott McKinney and a two year old filly by Nut-
wood Wilkes out of the dam of Scott McKinney. She
is a trotter and has the right way to put down her
feet.

Henry T. Walsh has quite a string of green ones by
his splendid Director stallion and employs an Eastern
man to drive them. As a whole they are very hopeful
propositions.

These notes would be hardly complete if we should
not mention the new arrivals, our three great Eastern
stallions. Mr. B. S. Krehe, the proud owner, and
justly so. of Pistol and Alcyo, has shown great fore-
sight in purchasing two mares with the intent to breed
two stake winners. One is Annabelle 2:27}, dam of La
Belle 2:16 (two year old); will be mated with Alcyo 2:10.
This horse is the peer of his family in so far as he is the
fastest son of Alcyone 2:27 and also the sire of a mare
who, by her performances, has positively asserted her
right to be, like her sire, the gamest of the game.
We refer to Lady Alcy, with a yearling record of 2:37;
two year old mark of 2:19} and four year old brackets
of 2:13}. She is the only yearling ever "trained on."
And Alcyo 2:10 was certainly the greatest horse in
New England. Annabelle is the dam also of Robert I.,
Rosy and Maggie in Farmer Bunch's string and of
Florence M., a four year old mare that Millard San-
ders has at Pleasauton. She is also the dam of Maud
Murray by Hambletonian Wilkes, which was sold two
years ago for $5000 and went to Berlin, where she
trotted in 2:12 and is now rated one of the greatest
race mares in Europe. Such mating can but point to
eventual success, because the qualities of Annabelle,
both as a race mare and broodmare, are of the first
order.

Angie Wilkes by Guy Wilkes 2:15} is to be mated
with Pistol. This surely is a commendable enterprise
and is bound to enhance the value of both stallion and
dam.

For Mr. Krehe's stallions we have nothing but
words of highest praise In blood lines they are both
representatives of our staunchest, speediest and most
fashionable trotting families in America, though in
looks and conformation they differ widely. And this
is something to be commended, as it increases the
latitude of choice by owners of prospective brood-
mares. The infusion of this new blood among Cali-
fornia horses can only benefit the state and we have
no doubt that our breeders will take advantage of
this rare opportunity.

And now we come to the stable of Mr. Tom James.
Barondale 2:11} is led out and, having in mind his
description which we read in the Breeder and
Sportsman, we are not disappointed. Grand and
noble in looks he is as gentle and kind as a kitten.
The aristocratic breeding that he comes to represent
is stamped all over him. His large eye beams on us
with a fire and intelligence that is fascinating to the
lover of a horse. The broad forehead, small, erect
ears, clear throttle, arched neck, sloping shoulders
welllet down and tremendous muscled quarters and
forearms all point to bis royal lineage which is lustrous
with bright stars of our trotting world. This horse
must be a great one. As he has proved himself suc-
cessful on the race track so he surely will be in the

stud In fact he has proven himself so already, for a
sample of his get was led out, Fashoda, a two year
old filly by Barondale. We had met her "hooked up"
earlier in the morning and watched her gait, which is
that of a pure-gaited line trotter. Thinking of the
generous space allotted to this letter, we are com-
pelled to cut her description down to one designation —
she is a peach ! a combination of the gazelle with that
of the power of the horse modified naturally in the
sex. But we must add that Mr. James has also a four
year old mare by Ellerslie Wilkes, dam by Wilkes
Boy who is also an exceptionally handsome mare and
showing as much speed as anything here. The un-
usual thing about her is that she has not been broken
until just now when a four year old, consequently has
the advantage of those drilled as yearlings, and is as
sound as the proverbial dollar.

Thanking you for your patience, kind attention and
good will, Mr. Editor, I remain, etc.

An Observer.

The Green Meadow Farm.

Within a half-mile of the Santa Clara R. R. depot
and one hundred yards of the town limits, unbroken
by any hills or mountains, fenced off by substantial
high board fences, whose glimmering whiteness streak
the beautiful fields of grass and alfalfa, making the
green stretch appear like a vast checkerboard, is the
stock farm of R. I. Moorhead, the home of Hamble-
tonian Wilkes 1679 and his aristocratic colts. It is a
place of peace and quiet, neatness and sumptuous hos-
pitality, fitly presided over by the genial proprietor.
The residence is a two-story substantial building of
nine rooms and all modern improvements, including a
system of sewerage which connects with and is a part
of the town of Santa Clara. It nestles cosily among a
clump of stately trees and ever-blooming vines that are
trellised on the verandahs, affording pleasant shade to
the occupants. The nearness of the town of Santa
Clara and a twenty minute drive to the Garden City,
beautiful San Jose, will be much improved by the new
electric car line from Alviso, which is the terminal of
the bay line from San Francisco. When built an
electric road will be constructed from Santa Clara to
Alviso, viaBrokaw road, passing Green Meadow Farm.
The stables, barns, granaries, chicken houses, etc.,
are all built more substantial than we have seen any-
where else in California and this is accounted for by
the fact that the proprietor is an Eastern gentleman
with Eastern ideas. The stable contains 50 spacious
box stalls with plenty of ventilation and excellent con-
veniences for bedding, cleaning and light.

Pasturage is abundant and keeps green the year
around. In the paddocks one may notice the highly
bred colts gamboling and feeding, while in some
others the stately broodmareB are browsing in peaceful
contentment.

With delight we contemplated this scene when "the
monarch of the farm" was led out for inspection.
Twenty years old he does not look nor act it. The fire
in his large and intelligent eyes bespeaks a vitality and
prepotency peculiar to the family of the great George
Wilkes. With nostrils extended, erected tail, he kept
prancing around as if conscious of his royal lineage
and proud of his own achievments. A horse who has
produced a daughter like Phoebe Wilkes 2:08J, that
was one of the greatest race mares the Eastern
circuit ever saw when Bhe took her record at Nashville
in 1894, beating Nightingale 2:08 and trotted three
heats in 2:081, 2:091 and 2:09}; also Rocker 2:11, Tom-
my Mac 2:11}, Arlcna Wilkes 2:11}, Sunbeam 2:12},
New Era 2:13 ought to be just such a looking horse-
Dissecting his conformation we can arrive only at one
conclusion: he is a superb specimen of our modern
trotting stallion. And his bloodlines are nnequaled.
Being twenty years old he cannot carry the latest
champion blood in his own veins — in his own pedigree —
but in a reverse way his blood is invariably found in
all of the best one° we have produced so far, proving
the prepotency of the cross of Geo. Wilkes 2:22 and an
American Star mare. The question is sometimes asked
why Hambletonian Wilkes has not produced more
performers. It is easily answered. A business can
only thrive when there is given to it an undivided
attention and the moment we consign the breeding of
trotting horBes to a secondary consideration, at that
moment this business above all others will not thrive,
nor can it. But this year there will be several Ham-
bletonian Wilkes' heard from that will make people
remember their short-sightedness for having over-
looked a stallion like Hambletonian Wilkes. His blood
is surely the best for a foundation. This is beyond
cavil or doubt. For we see now before us and by our
very records that the Wilkes family has more than
three times the number of representatives of any other.
And there is no better proof.

Hope comes with the glorious sunshine of the Santa
Clara valley where the perpetual bloom of flowers and
trees instills new life into everything, and thus we pre-
dict that once more this valley will become the Hub of
the trotting world from which the champions of our
turf radiate as they radiated before. Palo Alto is
passing, but long live the Green Meadow Farm and
Hambletonian Wilkes! VISITOR

Aj Arizona Matinee.

Phcenix, Ariz., Feb. 26, 1902.

The Phoenix Driving Club held a matinee at the
Driving Park on iVashington's Birthday. The day
was somewhat cold but good time was made, in fact
ahead of anything seen here before. The horses were
well matched and time good enough for Grand Circuit
performance.

The first event was a halt mile dash for two year
olds, between Pointer Star, owned by John Norton
and driven by J. K. Wheat, and Jayello, owned by W.
C. Green and driven by Geo. V. Klotzbach, the former
winning by a neck in 1:16.

The second event was a free-for-all pace with three
starters — Packard and Greene's Cobre Grande, driven
by G. V. Klotzbach: Woodell's Black Paddy, driven
by Wheat, and Lossing's Sirus Mark, driven by owner.
When the word was given for the first heat all were
on even terms and when they rounded into the stretch
Cobre Grande and Black Paddy were racing neck and
neck slightly in the lead of Sirus Mark, Cobre Grande
winning by half a length, Paddy second and Sirus
Mark third. Time 1:05. The last quarter was covered
in 0:3U.

In second heat the pacers went away like old cam-
paigners, Cobre Grande slightly in the lead but made
a break at the five-eighths post which cost him some
time to make up, but Mr. Klotsbach got him settled
to business he came with a terrible burst of speed that
surprised the natives, for Klotzbach made the drive of
his life and came within an eyelash of nibbing the
heat from Paddy at the wire. In this heat the tire
became detached from Paddy's bike but he wun in
1:11$. Cobre Grande, separately timed, paced the last
quarter in 0:31}. Sirus Mark finished third. Third
heat was a horse race from wire to wire, Cobre Grande
and Paddy racing neck to neck to within a few feet of
the wire, when Cobre drew away and won by a neck
in 1:05}, the last quarter in 32 seconds, Sirus Mark
finishing third. Fourth heat was another race from
wire to wire and won by Cobre in 1:06, Paddy second,
Sirus Mark third.

The third event on the card was three-eighths of a
mile dash for runners with two entries, Belladona
owned by Jack Gibson and rode by Com. Passy and
Everlyn owned by Bellinger of Montana and ridden by
the Yellow Kid. Belladona won very easily in 37J
seconds.

The fourth event was a mile running with four
starters, Windy Jim owned by John Gibson and ridden
by Passy, Tom Tongue owned by Mr. Bellinger of
Montana, Wild Oats owned by Mr. Leiner of El Paso.
Texas, Josie Allen owned by R. B. Allen of Phoenix.
When the word was given, Windy Jim from the out-
side position went out and took the lead takiog the
pole on first turn and kept the lead winning hands
down in 1:47 Tom Tongue second, Josie Allen third
and Wild Oats fourth.

Cobre Grande, the winner of the pacing race is a
Salt river valley product being raised by Mr Barkley
of Glendale, Arizona. Mr. G. V. Klotzbach has had
this horse but a few weeks which says quite a good
deal for him as a trainer. Mr. Klotzbach is from
Iowa and is training here for Mr. W. C. Greene of
Cobre Grande Mine and has a stable of fifteen horses
working at the race track including Boydello 2:14}.

Black Paddy is a California horse while Sirus Mark
a horse of very commanding appearance is from Min
nesota and has made the season here for the last three
years.

The judges of the day were Alex H. Davidson, start-
ing judge and Walter Bennit, W. N. Tiffany and Mr.
Richardson were judges and timers. Their decisions
were satisfactory in every respect and they were
tendered the thanks of all the horsemen interested.

The purses were good for all the races. Free for all
pace $100.00. One mile dash $100.00. Three-eighth
dash $75.00. There was quite a bit of betting done
and lots of money changed hands, the attendance was
good and the occasion was one of special pleasure to
those who were lucky enough to be there.

Packard & Greene, owners of Cobre Grande, have
offered to match their horse against Woodell's Black
Paddy, Billy Cooke's grey mare Surprise and Dr.
Hughes' Billy Baker for $1000.00 a side for a race. As
there is quite a good deal said about the merits of
these four horses it would make quite an interesting
race. Billy Baker by Silkwood being so far the best
liked horse. We hope also to seo a match race be-
tween Jack Gibson's bay mare Belladona and Al
Smoot's sorrel mare Lottie Shark, for a one-quarter
or three-eighths for $2000.00, but so far they have not
come to any terms. Yours truly,

Balancing.

[A. L. Camp in Horse Review.]

I do not believe that there is a very large percentage
of people, who make use of the above word in connec-
tion with horses, who understand the meaning in its
real light. I know that in talking with farriers and
drivers they use it in the majority of instances, with,
it seems to me, a variety of meanings, and a certain
vagueness in its application, which leaves a large ter-
ritory that the word "balancing" could be construed
to cover.

Below I will endeavor to give the definition, as I
understand it, but will say that I am not so egotistical
as to claim that it is the proper construction, but that
it is simply one person's idea, probably not any too
lucidly expressed, and with full knowledge that if I am
wrong, or thought to be so, some good man will take
issue with me and put me right.

I would call a harness horse balanced if his stride is
regular when at speed; when he does not "leave his
feet," except accidentally, and does not pull on the bit
more than enough to give tne driver perfect control
of him with the lines.

Now, my reason for saying he is "balanced" is be-
cause his head is secured at exactly the proper height,
in connection with the carrying of the necessary
amount of weight on each foot, and each and all of bis
feet shaped to angle that conforms to the peculiar
conformation of each particular angle and leg, and
enables the feet to reach and leave the ground at the
right time for the horse to preserve his equilibrium or
"balance." In other words, he must stride a certain
distance, in a certain period of time, to enable bis feet
and legs to be at a certain place to receive and dispose
of the weight of the body.

A horse may be carrying the required weight of
shoes and yet be unbalanced, because his head may be
too high or too low, or because one or more of the
feet being shaped to the wrong angle, say too long or
too short, or the heels being too high, or the reverse.
Or the feet may be shaped right, the weight correct,
and the horse perfectly balanced with his head at a
certain height. Yet raise or lower the head, and he
goes wrong. For by so doing the weight of the animal
is changed forward or backward, and the stride of the
front or hind legs is lengthened or shortened. Againi
the horse may be right when hitched to a thirty-five
pound sulky, and wrong to a jogging cart or speed-
way wagon, or the closer or longer hitch to the same
sulky may "queer" him. Or even the position of the
driver in the sulky. And again, he may be going
ever so good, with a certain hold on the bit, and in-
crease or diminish the pull, and he will become un-
balanced, owing to the position it causes him to
assume. So it is not strange that so small a percent-
age of horses which are worked for speed ever make
extremely fast time, when we consider the number of
things to be taken in their relationship, and all work-
ing harmoniously, which are necessary to the proper
balancing of the race horse.

To make the matter more perplexing, there are
scarcely two horses that could be successfully bal-
anced with identically the same treatment. Individ-
uality seems to make each one a complete puzzle in
itself. For instance, I owned a mare which would trot
perfectly square up to a 2:30 gait. Faster than that
she would singlefoot. I tried shoes of different weights
and at last balanced her by shoeing very light in front
and heavy behind. An old trainer told me he had
never heard of such a thing, but was successful by
shoeing just the opposite, but there were other dif-
ferences to De considered, such as disposition, conforma-
tion, etc. One of this mare's sons, when shod as she
was to square him, immediately adopted the pace and
was a beautifully gaited and reliable pacer. Aelse
2:10}, to whom I gave a record of 2:20} as a three year
old, was perfectly balanced . with a 12-oz. toe-weight
shoe in front and running plates behind. His own
brother, also a pacer, was equally well balanced with
lOozs. in front and 12 behind. Another pacor did not
square away until she carried a rolled toe 16"-oz. front
shoe and an 18-oz. with extended heels, behind.

One of the principal features of keeping a horse bal-
anced is in knowing when to make the necessary
changes, for it is undeniably a fact that, with colts
especially, a very small percent continue right with
the same weight used to start them. And the trainer
is lucky who can, intuitively or otherwise, make the
proper changes as they become necessary without un-
Dalancing.

I shall endeavor now to take the different constitu-
ents which compose the principles of balancing and
treat them in their respective order, and will class
them as I think their importance demands. Checking
or reining I will place first because 1 believe it to be
the most vital. My reason for thinking so is because
some horses— they are very few in number— are as
well balanced, when checked right, barefooted and as
nature made them, as they can ever be with any

weight of shoe or foot shaped at any angle, while I
have never seen a horse which was balanced without
a check rein. Consequently I experiment with the
head at different heights until I have decided which
position best suits the horse's owu particular way of
going, and also enables me the better to control him.
Before deciding positively I try both overdraw and
side check, and if the horse has not been spoiled I
usually expect to find the thing which suitshim among
the simpler devicos. The simpler the better, provided
it does the work.

The next step in importance is booting. Cover him
at every place, where there is the least possibility of
his touching. The boots are essential. First, they
prevent or lessen the pain if the horse touches; sccoi.d,
they enable one to locate where he touches, even if it
be merely a brush, instead of a blow. Third, as your
horse will have to wear more or less boots, and thi y
have an effect upon his gait, owing to weight, etc., it
is better to shape and shoe the feet, subject to his way
of going, while booted.

And now comes the matter which I consider third
in importance, i. e., shaping or angling the feet. I
shall not go into details here, but will merely say. that
what is to be considered relates to the gait of the
horse, regarding the length of toe and height of heel,
according to whether you wish to quicken him in fronti
or slow him behind or vice versa, or cause him to go
wider or closer.

The angle of the foot has also a great deal to do with
the height to which the feet are lifted when speeding,
and governs almost entirely the rhythm of the stride,
as also its length and rapidity, and enables the foot to
be at the proper place, at the time to receive the
weight of the animal without the strain of throwing
the body forward with an extra effort to preserve the
balance, which, as an extra effort, tires the horse in
proportion to the amount he lacks of being balanced.

One of the principal causes of hoppled pacers not
being able to "go the route" is owing to the fact of
their not being balanced, but the "Btraps" prevent
them from breaking and force them to hold to the
required gait, at an awful expense of lost or misdirected
energy.

The shoeing, considered by many to be the most im-
portant constituent of balancing, is, in my humble
opinion, one of the minor ones, for if you have been
successful in the foregoing, your horse can go with
almost any kind of old shoes. If, on the contrary,
you have made a failure down to the shoeing, and he
has not shown you something good, you will surely be
disappointed when he is shod, for no kind of shoes
will do the work.

Shoeing the horse serves three purposes. First, it
protects the feet from pain caused by contact with the
earth, stones, etc.; second, it enables the foot to be
kept in the shape desired — without it the foot would
be worn away and lose the'required form; third, the
weight of the shoe is largely instrumental in govern-
ing the amount of action. This last use has a number
of variations of minor importance. Aside from the
uses mentioned and the variations of the last, the
effects of the shoe produce more harm than good, for
many a promising horse has been ruined thereby.

At the annual midwinter sales in LexingtOD, Ky.,
three of the best race horses and largest winners of 1901
were sold under the hammer, and brought prices
which show that first-class racing material is in great
demand and will bring better prices than for years.
Neva Simmons 2:11} by Simmons 2:28 brought $13,200
and was purchased by Mr. Smathers, of New Yurk,
who already had one of the best stables of trotters ever
gotten together, ready to do battle for the big purses
of 1902. Although the price seems an exorbitant one
for a mare with a record of 2:11}, it must be remem-
bered that she raced consistently last season, being
one of the big winners of the year, though she raced
agaiDst the hardest lot of horses to win money from
that ever appeared on the trotting turf. Onward Sil-
ver 2:08, Eleata 2:08^, Cornelia Bell 2:10, Country Jay
2:1(1.',. Susie S. 2:10', and May Allen 2:09J were some of
the horses which the big daughter of Simmons had to
race against. The fact that she is still eligible to the
2:12 class, for which more money will be bung up the
coming season than for any other, undoubtedly
a number of thousands to the mare's value. She is
eligible to the $15,000 Massachusetts Stake at Readville,
the $lo,W.I0 Bonner Memorial Stake at Brighton Beach
and other big stakes.

Mart Demarest will pilot the great pacer Prince
Alert 2:003 again this year, and says he is authorized
to match him against any pacer in the world, best two in

three or best three in five, for from $5 to -1 10 a

side, the race to take place overtbe Hartford track.
When asked what he thoughl

pects for 1902, Mr. Demarest said; "lam positive he
can equal his record any time when the conditio'
fair, think he can beat two minutes, ami would do
all surprised to so him lower the ; '"inter

although this is asking a tremendous performance
from any horse. I do not believe in making positive
assertions in matters of this kind, but I c.rtainly do
consider the Prince a wonderful pacer.

THE STATE FAIR'S DATES this year are not the
first two weeks of September, as has been the
case for several years past, but the second and third
weeks. Just why this change has been made I am not
informed, but simply know that a letter from the
Secretary states that the dates September 2d to 13th as
announced iu the B. &. S. weeks ago, and figured on
by all the district associations when selecting their
dates, are not correct, and the State Fair will open
September 8th this year and close on Saturday, the
20th. A week later will not make any mat rial differ-
ence to any of the associations, and I expect there will
now be a general re-arrangement of dates all along the
line. Woodland always comes in on the week prior to
the State Fair, and has already claimed the last week
in August, but the first week in September will do
Woodland just as well. By next week it is probable
all the different districts will have notified this journal
that their dates have been changed to suit, and all
will be well and- happy.

There are few men who can carry in their mind's
eye the shape, size, color and general conformation, as
well as the gait and style of any. horse so that they can
pick out a mate to him when they happen to see one.
There are men who do this, but they are not numer-
ous. Mr. J. W. Thorns, a gentleman who is engaged
in business in this city and like many more sleeps
across the bay, has this faculty. Mr. Thorns is not a
dealer in horses, but always keeps a good one for his
own pleasure and drives a good deal on the road after
business hours. He owned for the past few years a
good looking bay gelding by Egyptian Prince, and
some few weeks ago sold this horse to ex-Senator C.
N". Felton, of San Mateo. The Senator loves a good
horse himself and is quite a road driver, and one day
remarked to Mr. Thorns that he was much pleased with
his purchase and would like to get a mate to him. Mr.
Thorns put on his thinking cap and recalled a bay
gelding he had seen some time previous when on a trip
to Salinas. "I think that fellow will mate your horse,"
said he; "he may be from a half-inch to an iDch higher
but not more and they look and go very much the
same." Mr. Felton went down and inspected the
horse, purchased him from his owner, William Van-
derhurst, and brought him home. He has been driv-
ing the pair ever since and they are such an excellent
match that he told Mr. Thorns the other day he would
not sell the pair for three the money they cost him.

The opportunity to spend an hour at the San Jose
track last Tuesday enabled me to see for the first time
the three stallions Barondale, Alcyo and Pistol, that
were brought here from the East this winter. Tom
James, owner of Barondale 2:11 J. led out his horse
first. The first thing to strike me was that Baron-
dale is larger than the idea I had formed of h m from
his picture. He has one of the cleanest and most in-
telligent of heads, and is a dark, mahogany bay of
a beautiful shade with dapples here and there. His
bone is good and his muscles well developed. His
rump is of the Nutwood type, his loins are particularly
good, and his neck is pretty near a model. Mr. James
tells me he has fourteen mares booked to him already
some of them of extra good breeding. Considering
the breeding of Barondale and the price of his service
fee— $40— I think he is just about the best bargain in
the State.

Mr. Krehe showed me Alcyo 2:10. He is a short
legged, powerfully muscled horse with wonderful legs
for a fellow that has been raced as he has. He is
rather plain looking, but like Cresceus gets hand-
somer as one looks him over. Standing behind him
the muscles on his legs look like those on a cart horse,
and in front he is wide and solid built all over. His
stable companion, Pistol, is cast in a different mold
entirely. His head and neck reminded me of Direct
2:05J. but as he is black as a coal the likeness may
have been exaggerated by the color. He is a smooth
turned fellow, is the son of Lancelot, a square trotter
Mr. Krehe tells me and will be given a record. I sug-
gested to Mr. Krehe that he induce' Mr. Pierce to
breed Elsie (dam of Palita 2:16, etc.) to him, so as to
get two crosses of Green Mountain Maid close up, as
Pistol's sire a d Elsie's dam were own brother and
sister.

One of the saddest bits of news in the horse line I
have heard for some time was sent me by Sam Gamble
from Pleasanton this week. It is to the effect that
there are Eastern parties now negotiating for Stam B
2:11} with the idea of castrating him, cutting off his
tail and making a show horse of Stamboul's greatest
son. Mr. Gamble says he has put a stiff price on the
horse knowing the facts, but that he is afraid the price

will not stop the Easterners. Stam B., as all California
horsemen know, is owned by Tuttle Bros, of Rocklin,
who are not wealthy men and desire to sell Stam B. if
they get their price. While I know that Stam B.
would give even Glorious Red Cloud a run for the blue
ribbon at New York, and is undoubtedly one of the
handsomest horses ever foaled, and while I hope his
owners will get a good price for him, I think it will be-
nothing short of sacrilege to geld the horse and mutilate
that beautiful tail. It would not require a month's
training to make Stam B. one. of the most extravagant
of high actors and the speed he could show and the
style he could put on would bring all the horse world
to his feet in the New York show ring. He should be
kept entire however, as he will sire speed and good
looks along with it, and do it with great uniformity if
only ordinary care is taken in selecting the mares for
him.

C. A. Durfee once campaigned the horse Hillsdale
2:15 and thought him one of the gamest trotters he
ever pulled a line over. Hillsdale's dam was Nettie
Nutwood by Nutwood 600, his grandam a mare by
Vick's Ethan Allen Jr. 2903, and his great grandam a
mare by Williamson's Belmont. Nettie Nutwood was
bred to Director in 1893, and produced a filly called
Twenty-third that was in turn bred toMcKinney 2:11 1
and the produce is this handsome colt now coming two
years old. Mr. Durfee became so enamored with him
last fall that he gave Jim Rea $800 and led him home.
I saw this fellow at San Jose last Tuesday and he looks
like a worthy successor to his illustrious sire. He is a
high headed gentleman, with a brainy and handsome
head, and with legs, feet and back of the kind that
good stayers must be endowed with. McKinuey,
Director, Nutwood and thoroughbred Belmont is a
mixture of blood that is pretty rich in speed of the
extreme and staying kind.

Palo Alto Stock Farm has had some great sales, but
it would not surprise me if the consignment to the
Blue Ribbon Sale at Cleveland in May, topped every
sale of youngsters heretofore sold from the historic
breeding farm. When Eleata was sold for $900 in
1899, Superintendent Covey stated that he considered
her one of the very best in the sale. Tom Marsh,
Senator Jones' trainer thought so, too, and considered
himself very lucky to get her for the price. We all
know how she turned out. Starting by winning a race
at home she was shipped to Detroit, won the M. & M.
and went down the line to victory and closed the sea-
son the largest money winner of all the trotters and
with a mark of 2:08|. At the same sale Mr. Marsh
purchased Juntorio by Altivo 2:18'. out of Jennie Ben-
ton, paying $2100 for her. She is a grand looking
mare, and when Mr. Marsh a few months ago entered
the employ of T. W. Lawson, he was not backward
about advising the copper king to tako Juntorio along,
too. There is a story from over East to the effect that
Marsh thinks Juntorio good enough to win the M. &
M. this year if nothing happens her. There are good
reports from all the Palo Alto bred youngsters senc
over East and it is .-aid there will be many buyers at
Cleveland this year to get some of this stock as it will
be the last opportunity to get any of the youngsters.
That's why I say that it need not surprise anyone if
the prices this year top any heretofore paid for Palo
Alto youngsters at auction.

In spite of all the pessimists that seem to live on
predictions of failure there is going to be a pretty good
circuit of fairs and harness meetings in California this
year and the winners of races will have a chance to
earn quite a goodly sum. Something like old times in
California is sure to come this year. Napa has an-
nounced four early closing stakes of from $800 to $600,
and will have eight more ranging from $500 to $600. '
This will be a larger amount in the aggregate than
any of the associations on the Oregon or Colorado
circuits will offer and is but a hint of what will soon
follow from other organizations here in California.
There will be at least a half dozen meetings where the
purses will range from $500 to $1000 and the horse
that can get first money in the slow classes at these
six meetings will place $5000 to the credit of his owner.

I wonder how many California trainers are contem-
plating going over the mountains this year to race
over the half mile circuits for purs93 of from $300 to
$500. There are some that do this nearly every year
although there is always more money to trot for here
at home. If a trainer has Grand Circuit material in
his string that is the place to go, but otherwise he had
better stay closer at home and try his horses out here.
Walking is always good in California in tho summer,
and there is no toll to pay on the county roads, but
the footing is very bad coming across the mountains
from the eastern tracks, especially if no purses have
been won. Ask some that have been there.

The Haywards Horse Show, to be held to-day, gives
every promise of being one of the best displays of
equines ever held in the State. At this writing there
is every indication of perfect weather, and visitors to
the pretty little town will have an opportunity to see
a grand array of high-class horses. If one-half the
trotting and pacing stallions entered are paraded it
will be a sight worth going miles to see. The follow-

last year on the half mile tracks. He will make a
season in the stud this spring and then be campaigned
again.

The $15,000 Massachusetts will be the great race of
the year, and should attract a splendid field of 2:12
trotters. Here's hoping a California bred horse will
win it.

William G. Layng, owner of Sir Albert S. 2:085, in-
forms us that he will enter his horse all through the
Grand Circuit in the 2:09 and any faster classes that
may be offered.

Mr. J. Malcolm Forbes states that be will be unable
to serve on the Board of Review of the National Trot-
ting Association, owing to business matters, that he
cannot neglect, taking all his time.

James Thompson is shov-in? more early speel with
the colts and fillies down at Palo Alto than the farm
track has seen for some time. Superintendent Covey
will have a great lot to take East in May.

Millard Sanders has a four year old mare by Ham-
bletonian Wilkes out of Anna Belle by Dawn in his
Pleasanton string that is one of the best prospects for
a fast trotter that has been seen at the horse centre
for some time.

Robert I. the fast green pacer by Hambletonian
Wilkes is back at Sah Jose and is now in tbe hands of
Farmer Bunch, who believes he will get some of the
money in the slow classes this year with this hand-
some young horse.

William Leech of Marysville, is now the owner of
High Tariff, one of the best bred horses in California,
as he is by Silver Bow out of the dam of Monterey
2:09} and Montana 2:16. High Tariff will be in the
stud at Marysville.

Sandy Smith has a trotter by Dexter Prince in his
string at Aptos that will make the horsemen open
their eyes when Sandy drives him throueh the stretch
at Cleveland prior to the big sale in May. He will
show them a 2:08 gait sure.

San Jose will try to have a first class meeting during
the first week in July. Good purses will be hung up
and the money paid immediately after each race.

Acorn, a stallion by Ouknut 2:24}, dam Nellie Whip-
pleton by Whippleton, second dam by the thorough-
bred horse Bayswater, is for sale. Ho' is a good looker,
with size and breeding-, and is worth much more than
the money asked for him. See advertisement.

Policeman William Van Keuren of this city has bred
his fast pacing mare Mattie B. 2:15} by Alex Button
to McKinney 2:11} and expects to get something very
speedy as a result. The Button mares are sure to
make a good showing in the broodmare ranks.

Waldstein 2:22 will again make a season in Humboldt
county, standing at Rhonerville. By Director and out
of an Electioneer mare, Waldstein possesses speed of a
high order and transmits it. He has sired some mag-
nificent looking horses, notably Jack W. 2:12J.

The California State Fair will be held during tie
second and third weeks in September this year instead
of the first and second as in recent years. Many of
the district associations had arranged their dates in
accordance with the old plan, and must now move
them up a week.

William Fraser, of Santa Rosa, is the owner of a
two year old colt by Illustrious, dam a very handsome
mare by Whippleton, that he thinks is just about the
prettiest and the most promising piece of horseflesh in
Sonoma county. That old mare never had a coLt that
wasn't a good looker and this is the choice of the
bunch.

Col. Walter T. Chester, one of the best authorities
in America on the breeding of trotters, and compiler
and publisher of "Chester's Complete Trotting and
Pacing Records." has severed his connection with
Turf, Field and Farm, and associated himself with Mr.
Joseph Battel', author of "The Morgan Horse and
Register."

A table of heats won in 2:10 in actual races during
1901, is published in the matinee anniversary number
of the American Sportsman. Bleat . • Palo

Alto bred mare by Dexter Prince out of Elden by
Nephew, heads the table. She won nine heats in from
2:08Jto2:10. Dan Patch 2:041 heads the list of 2:10
heat winners among the pacers, having no less than 24
to his credit.

Do Veras 2:11}, full brother to Rey Direct 2:10, seems
to be invincible in the ice races in Canada this year.
He has been in several hot contests during the past
month and won them all. At Ottawa De Veras started
last month in the free fo» all class, and brought but $5
in the pools wherein Sloppy Weather and Looking
Glass were selling for $20 each, but be beat them easily
and won a pocket full of money for his owner, A.
Wendling of Brockville.

Trainer John Kelley is busy working the East View
youngsters of James Butler and is regularly jogging
Klatawah, three year old record 2:051. He hopes to
get him to the races sound again this season to race.
Mr. Butler has some fifty head at East View that he
has bred, not a few of tbem promising well as fast
trotters an^ pacers.

An attraction for the California Circuit would be a
2:05 pace in which Bonnie Direct 2:05}, Clipper 2:06,
Miss Logan 2:061, Joe Wheeler 2:07}. Much Better
2:07}, Sir Albert S. 2:08J, Kelly Briggs 2:10} and Rey
Direct 2:10 would be entered. It would be a horse
race and pool selling would be lively. A purse of $2000
ought to catch the entries of nearly all.

Tanforan would make a splendid track for a trotting
meeting, if the railroad accommodations were a little
better. As a place for a driving club to hold frequent
matinees it is altogether too far from the city. The
pleasure of driving to a track is one of the greatest
inducements to visit one, but twelve miles is a little
too far to make the trip really attractive.

Fred Talbot will sell everything on his farm near
San Lsandro, including his horses and other well bred
stock. The date will be announced soon. Tom Bonner
of Santa Rosa is now at the farm making an inventory
of everything and getting the stock in shape. Mr.
Talbot has so much business that he has no time to
devote to this place, which is almost an ideal one.

The Empire City track at New York has at last been
sold to a syndicate composed of Fred Gerken, James
Butler, C. K G. Billings and others. It is very prob-
able that Secretary Murray Howe, of Memphis, will
also act as secretary for the New York organization
and no more progressive or able man could be found.
A great meeting will be given at the new track this
summer.

Sam Gamble mated last week his handsome young
stallion Excel by Axtell with the young mare Melba
by Baron de Stein, and wishes it right now to be placed
on record that the produce will be a 2:10 or better
performer. Both horse and mare are without records
but they have the breeding, the individuality and the
other qualifications to make Mr. Gamble sure of his
ground. And he seldom misses it.

The Directors of Monterey Agricultural Association,
District No. 7, held their annual meeting this week
and organized for the current year by the election of
J. D. Carr. President; J. B. Iverson, Treasurer, and
John B. Kelly, Secretary. They will meet again Apiil
8th. when the matter of selecting a date for the fair
of 1002 will come up, and early closing stakes will be
considered.

A New York dispatch dated February 25th, says:
The Empire City race track was sold to-day for $300,-
000. The buyers were Bryan & Kennelly, who are
said to represent six men. It became known to-night
that the name of the corporation which will control
the track will be tbe Empire City Matinee Driving
Club. Edgar Bronk is the temporary chairmaD.
Among those interested are Frederick Gerkin. Nathan
Straus, James Butler and other drivers whose faces
are familiar on the speedway.

Through some misuuuerstanding of telegrams or
letters. John Splan is advertising all the Green
Meadow Farm horses, headed by Hambletonian
Wilkes, to be sold in Chicago this month There was
some correspondence between Mr. Moorhead aud his
old friend S;>lan in regard to a consigmeDt, but the
advertisement is a little premature. Hambletonian
Wilkes is now in the stud at the Green Meadow Farm.
He is the youngest looking horse of his age in America
and is strong and vigorous. Breeders will be looking
for the get of this son of Geo. Wilkes after he is gone.

One of the best road horses offered for sale lately is
a chestnut by Wapsie that is being driven by Col.
Morehead of San Jose. This gelding is sixteen hands
high, is afraid of nothing, can be driven by a lady,
and besides having a splendid road gait at the trot,
can pace a quarter in 32 seconds any time. He is a
hierh headed fellow, sound as a new milled dollar, and
wears nothing on his legs but a set of shoes. He can
show a three minute gait on the road and can be
shifted to the pace instantly and then few horses can
head him. He is for sale at a bargain.

With Onward Silver in his string at Memphis Geers
looks to have about as strong a hand for the season
of 1902 as he held last season. It was the general im-
pression last fall thai Onward Silver would train on,
and many excellent juiges were emphatic in the
declaration that, bar Cresceus, and possibly Lord
Derby, he was the greatest campaigner of the year.
He was good all the time and won at least two desper-
ately fought battles. Few drivers can measure a
horse's capacity or husband its resources any better
than the silent man from Tennessee, and many people
will be surprised if he does not materially lower his
record before fall.

C. A. Durfee is now the owner of the colt foaled by
the great Palo Alio broodmare Elsie by Gen. Benton,
a few hours prior to her sale at auction on January
30th. The colt is by McKinney 2:11} and Mr. Durfee
expects to keep him 'for a stallion, as he is bred right
to be a great speed sire. His dam has produced five
in the list, his second dam three, besides a yearling
with a record of 2:311, and his third dam is Green
Mountain Maid dam" of Electioneer and nine with
standard records. It is pretty hard to find one that
beats this fellow on breeding. Mr. Henry Pierce paid
$725 for Elsie and the foal at the sale, and Mr. Durfee
gave him just half that amount for the colt, to be
delivered to him July 1st.

The market for susoended horses will get no better
from this time henceforth. While the National and
American Associations have made a concession to the
amateurs bj making a rule permitting racing for cups
and ribbons under certain conditions without incur-
ring records or bars, they also propose to enforce the
rule which prohibits suspended horses or persons from
participating in races on the grounds of members.
Section 1 of Rule 51 has been changed to read as
follows: "No horse shall have the right to compete
while owned or controlled wholly or in part by a sus-
pended, expelled, or disqualified person. An entry
made by or for a person or of a horse suspended, ex-
pelled, o'r disqualified, shall be held liable for the en-
trance fee thus contracted without the rigkt to com-
pete unless the penalty is removed or the claim in-
volved therewith is provided for in accordance with
the Rules and Regulations. A suspended or dis-
qualified person who shall ride or drive, or a suspended
or disqualified horse which shall perform in a race on
the grounds of a member while the suspension or dis-
qualification remains in force and unprovided for,
shall be fined not less than $50, nor more than $100,
for each offense.

Speaking of Hambletonian 10, a writer for the
Breeders Gazette has this to say: "History does not
grant one other instance in which the blood of one
sire has done so much for any breed of improved ani-
mals, and while the "Hero of Chester" did indubitably
transmit some things to his get that were not desira-
able, he gave them speed and the power to hand it on
to their progeny in a measure that has no parallel in
this world. What is to be the future of a breed that
is dominated to such a degree as this one is by the
blood of one horser The fnswer is not far to seek nor
hard to find. The trotter of the present day is a living
reply to all suchqueries. The breeders have piled
cross on cross of the blocd of Hambletonian, but'at the
same time they have done it so wisely that the greatest
measure of speed in harness ever known has resulted.
It is true that some of the fastest trotters and pacers
have not been inbred to Hambletonian, but the great
mass of the performers that win the money each sea-
son are inbred to him and some of them to a marked
extent. How can it be otherwise? The mixing of the
blood of Nutwood and Electioneer gave us Arion,
whose two year old record to high-wheeled sulky has
never yet been approached. It is useless to give other
instances; every one knows that Hambletonian blood
has been doubled and twisted and crossed back on
itself in the most marvelous manner and with much
speed and racing ability as the general result.
breeder^ who have not chosen breeding stock wisely
have come to grief, but that is not the fault of tho
blood. It is the fault of tbe operator. In she:
safe to say that just as there is no i
with the light harness horse in the measure ol
at the trot and pace, so there is none all like
it or even parallel lo it in the manner of its de
ment."

®He gveebev emit ppovistntzn

[March 8, 1S02

I have been very much entertained by reading- Mr.
George Voorhees' brief but significant letters to the
id the decadence of the great
blood lines of eighty years ago, particularly how the
male line of Orville, which was at the head of the Brit-
ish turf, or nearly so, between 1812 and 1823, has gradu-
ally "gone a glimmering through the gloom'' until it
has become altogether extinct. It is doubtful if the
world ever saw a greater sire than Orville, for his
name is to be found from ten to fifteen times in every
modern pedigree. But his only male-line representa-
tive is now' a little black horse called Villard, by Lodi,
owned near PendletoD. in Eastern Oregon. At the
outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, there were several
notable Orville horses in America, the best being imp.
Sovereign by Emilius out of that mighty mare, Fleur
de Lis, who won 22 races out of 31, including a Don-
caster and two Goodwood Cups. It was on the charge
of having this mare pulled in the Goodwood Cup of
1832, so that Priam could beat her, that William IV.,
King of England, was ruled off for life.

The decline of the male line of Gohanna, the only
horse that ever beat the great Waxy, is almost as
noteworthy. Gohanna was a small and wiry-built
horse of a type somewhat similar to Macaroni and our
imp. Trustee. He got Election and Cardinal Beaufort,
winners of the Derby. He also got three brothers,
Wanderer, Golimpus and Hedley, the latter being sire
of Prince Leopold, who won the Derby of 1800, while
Golimpus got Otteringtun, winner of the St. Leger of
1812. Wanderer got no such performers as these, but
begot Peri, dam of Sir Hercules, whose male line has
been at the head of the British turf for 15 seasons out
of the last 50, in addition to being 13 times second and
15 times third in the same period. Hence, Gohanna
was a strong factor, judge him as you will. Golimpus
was also the sire of Catton, a great race horse who got
one winner each of the Derby and St. Leger, in addi-
tion to being the sire of Trustee, one of the best stal-
vions ever brought to America. He, Trustee, not only
got the incomparable Fashion, but was also the sire of
Revenue, premier sire of America in 1859 and 1860. as
well as of Levity, generally conceded to be our best
American broodmare.

Then there is another branch of Orville blood that
is now extinct — that of Muley, whose dam was the in-
comparable Eleanor, who not only won both the Derby
and the Oaks — a feat only once repeated and that fifty-
six years afterward, but also beat Orville three times.
Muley is described to me as something on the order Of
Rataplan, a horse with such tremendous action that
no ordinary boy could control him. He got Little
Wonder, Derby of 1810: Margrave, St. Leger. 1832:
and Vespa, Oaks of 1833, so he must have been near
the head of winning sires for that period. To-day his
line is almost extinct. Muley also got that excellent
stallion Leviathan (first called Mezereon) that was
premier sire of America just prior to Medoc. People
say this line winked out because Leviathan was deficient
in sire blood — as they say of King Tom. But if they
will look him up they will find that Leviathan's third
dam was Virago by Snap, she being thedam of Saltram
who won the Derby of 1783 and was imported into
Virginia, where he got the dam of the great Timoleon,
sire of Boston, the only horse that ever won 30 races
at four-mile heats. Saltram, before leaving England,
got Whiskey, sire of Eleanor aforementioned.

Another great line to whose decadence Mr. Voorheea
points very forcibly in one of his recent letters, is that
of Tramp, the Doncaster Cup winner of 1814 and by
long odds the best horse of his day at four miles with
1-40 lbs.'oo each. His defeat of Coiton at that distance
over the Knavesmire, while a year the younger horse,
is one of the red letter races of the ancient British
turf; and his defeat over the same course by Prime
Minis'. - one of the things that no turf writer

has yet been able to explain. Tramp got one winner
each of the St. Leger and 1000 Guineas and two of the
Derby. But, as in the case of Whalebone, neither of
his Derby winners proved of any value as sires. His
best sires were Lottery, Doncaster Cup winner of 1^25
and Liverpool, who defeated the St. Leger winner
Chorister for the Gascoigoe Stakes and Riddiesworlh
200H Guineas of 3831) for the Port Stakes of 1832.
Lottery not only got Chorister above but s
Inheritor, fastest mile horse of his day. and at that
distance it seemed as if no weight could stop him.
Lottery also got Sheet Anchor, first called Brother to
Hope, a fairly good performer, and he got Weatherbit
a pretty little brown horse from Miss Letty, the Oakj
winner of 183T.

Weatherbit's good showing in 1858 was through hi

son Beadsman winning the Derby. Beadsman got
Blue Gown, who won the Derby and Ascot Cup of
1868: and Pero Gomez who won the St. Leger of 1869.
But he got a far better horse than either in Rosi-
crucian, whose defeat of Musket for the Alexandra
Plate of 1871, is one of the memories of Ascot Heath.
The following table shows what Beadsman's get
achieved in the years given below:

1867 , £12.300 1871 3.451

1888 19,405 1874 6.627

186!) 12.482 1S75 6,664

1870 2,258

Beadsman also got The Palmer, brother to Rosicru-
cian, a year older. These two stallions never had
equal chances for Rosicrucian had every possible
opportunity at the stud while The Palmer had to take
whatever mares he could get. Each got a winner of
the Oaks, but of no other classical events. Several
daughters of each were taken to Australia and pro-
duced excellent horses, but neither ever got a success-
ful sire.

I think the male line of Tramp has been much
stronger in Australia than Mr. Voorhees is aware of
and yet it shows such signs of decay in the past eight
years, that he is mainly correct. They have a line ot
Weatherbit blood there through Kelpie, a big chest-
nut, whose dam was Child of the Mist by St. Francis,
the No. 1 family of Bruce Lowe's system. Kelpie got
Fireworks, the only horse to win three Derbys; and
he got Goldsbrough, winner of the St. Leger and
Great Metropolitan Handicap. Goldsbrough came
from the No. 13 family, like Orlando and Beadsman
and while his daughters bred well to everything, for
he got the dams of Abercorn and Trenton, he has
never gotten a sire of any merit. In 1886, he headed
the list of sires through his son Arsenal winning the
rich Melbourne Cup. The following table shows
amounts won in following years:

ISSrt 4-9.417 1891 3,838

1837 6,66; 1892 4.6TB

1888 .. 7.226 1893 4.583

i--:' 4.B55 1S94» 3.612

1890 4.550 1899 _ 2.944

* Died that year before making the season.

The fact that Goldsbrough led the winners of £1,476
in l^lv. when having neither two nor three year olds
to run for him, shows the hardy and enduring char-
acter of his horses.

Lanercost succeeded fairly at first from the fact that
he was regarded as a logical outcross for mares from
the two lines of Whalebone — Touchstone and Sir He:»
cules. The following table shows the winnings of his
get for the years given:

1847 £8,619 1851 £3,857

1818 4.591 1852 7.204

I-); 4 128 1853 10,269

1850 6,451 1854 2,128

Lanercost got Van Tromp, who got Von Galen and
Von Galen got Tim Whiffler, who won the Chester
and Goodwood Cups in 1862. In 1865, Tim Whiffler -
was sent to Australia, where he got Darnwell, winner
of the Melbourne Cup, and that incomparable three
year old filly, Briscis, who won the Derby and Mel-
bourne Cup three days apart, being the only filly to
win either. Darnwell was a most beautiful brown
horse. I saw him when he was well along in years,
standing in the next box to Le Loup, a handsome
chestnut and brother to Lurline, the dam of Mr. Hag-
gin's Darebin. The groom said Le Loup could always
beat Darnwell, but his weight in the Cup was 124 lbs.
and Darnwell's 109, so they declared to win with the
brown horse and that's just what they did that day at
Flemington. It is a painful thing to see as good blood
as Tramp's falling rapidly into obscurity, but racing
nowadays is something that involves the survival of
the fittest. Hidalgo.

According to a report from London, Lord Marcus
Beresford has sent word to Tod Sloan, who is in Paris,
advising the noted American jockey to apply to the
English Jockey Club for another license. Lord Beres-
ford is quoted as saying that he will do all he can to
secure Sloan's reinstatement, believing that Tod has
been sufficiently punished for alleged wrongdoing. It
is also stated that Lord Beresford has interested him-
self in Sloan's behalf at the personal request of King
Edward VII., who once had the jockey under contract.
William C. Whitney is also reported to have used his
influence in Sloan's behalf. In was in 1900 that Sloan
was notified by the English stewards not to again apply
for a license, the fault with him being that he had been
betting too heavily on his mounts. Sloan did as he
was told and has been practically in retirement ever
since. His last appearance on a local track was in 1900
when he rode Mr. Whitney's Ballyhoo Bey to victory
in the Futurity. Sloan came here especially for this
race and is said to have received -$10,000 for his ser-
vices. If Sloan receives a license in England he may
ride for fling Edward, who already has the services of
Danny Maher. Sloan is at present in Paris, mixed up
in the automobile business. It is possible that if rein-
stated he will do some riding in this country, where
his popularity has not died out.

SADDLE NOTES.

Mash Turner will ride for W. C. Whitney in England
and will probably have the mount on Nasturtium in
the Derby.

Johnny Crane started his horse Phil Archibald in
races on five consecutive days at Oakland last week
and won two of the five races, one of the wins being
the last start. Phil Archibald also started again last
Tuesday and won.

There is much interest in the stable of W. K. Vander-
biit, which will take partin the Eastern campaign this
year. It is said that he will place the most confidence
in his two year olds by the noted Ornament, who,
among other achievements, won the Brooklyn Handi-
cap in 1898.

A three year old filly, a full sister to the black mare
Imp, has been shipped to Peter Wimmer, at Sheeps-
head Bay, from Lexington. She resembles her famous
sister and is larger than the "black whirlwind" was at
the same age. The filly belongs to the estate of the
late D. P. Harness.

Edward Corrigan has made sixty-seven entries to
the stakes at the Harlem Jockey Club. This makes
it appear that the hatchet has been buried between
the former master of Hawthorne and the Condon track,
and if so every race track patron in the vicinity of
Chicago will experience a feeling of relief.

These are the riders who are going abroad this year
in search of not only laurels but hard cash: To Eng-
land, Danny Maher, Henry Spencer, Nash Turner,
"Skeets" Martin and Clem Jenkins; to France, Milton
Henry, Johnny Reiff, Archie Mclntyre, Patrick Free-
man, Charley Thorpe, J. Scherrer. C. Buchanan and
J. Owens; to Austria, Fred Taral, Charles Van Dusen,
Edward Gray and Edward Ross; to Russia, "Cash"
Sloan, Joe Piggott. J. Knapp, J. Milchell, Andy Ham-
ilton and C. Vititoe. With this wholesale exodus, it
can be realized that there maybe a dearth of good
jockeys in this country.

The California Derby was run off at Oakland on
Saturday last in a driving rain and howling wind on a
track that was slushy and deep. But four horses
started in the $3000 event, and Green B. Morris' colt
Sombrero, with O'Connor in the saddle, won under
restraint by three lengths in 2:16}. Corrigan was sec-
ond, Waterscratch third and Jingler third. The win-
ner is by imp. Star Ruby out of La Toquera by imp.
Sir Modred, second dam Touche Pas by Spendthrift
third dam imp. My Nannie O. by The Palmer, son of
Beadsman, fourth dam Jennie Jones by Weatherbit,
fifth dam Mrs. Dodds by Birdcatcher. Sombrero was
bred at Rancho del Paso.

Tarbolton, the son of Ayrshire, secured in England
by J. N. Camden, proprietor of the Hartford Stud,
Kentucky, a few weeks ago to take the place of the
dead sire, imp. Eshir, is reported to be dying as the
result of injuries received during shipment. The horse
was out three weeks in rough sea and upon his arrival
had six ugly cuts on his head. Added to this he has
inflammation of the bladder and since his arrival his
condition has been critical. He is one of the most
valuable importations of recent years. He won the
thirty-ninth Newmarket Biennial Stakes, the forty-
ninth Triennial Produce Stakes and the Kempton
Park May Handicap of 1000 sovereigns. His dam was
Radiancy out of Tipthorpe, second dam Meteor by
Thunderbolt. He is 8 years old and is Dred very much
like Solitaire, Mr. A. B. Spreekels' recent importation.

The Futurity of 1904 promises to be one of the most
valuable of that series of rich turf fixtures. The
Coney Island Jockey Club, sponsor for the great
American "classic" event, has received 1148 nomina-
tions for the race. The entry list promises to eclipse
all previous records. One hundred and twenty-eight
breeders of thoroughbreds in this country entered
their best mares. The foals of the matrons nominated
will be eligible to race. All the best stallions in the
country are represented. J. BT Haggin, who owns more
thoroughbreds than any other man in the world, is
the heaviest nominator, naming 196. Milton Young is
a good second with 115 entries. William C. Whitney,
who has been on the turf only a short time, makes an
excellent showing with seventy nominations, which
places him third on the entry list. August Belmont,
chairman of the Jockey Club, is represented by fifty-
five of his choicely bred mares.

Jackson's Napa Soda untangles the feet.

Walcott, Vt., June 19, 1891.
Br. S. -1. TuiiU— Dear Sir: I wish to say to you and the public
that I have used your Elixir, have found it one or the best medi-

Banastar's Remarkable Pedigree.

[BY W. .H HOWE ]

The pedigree of Bana9tar, who has been assigned
the top weight in the Brooklyn and Suburban Handi-
caps of the coming season, is fully entitled to consid-
eration in my series of articles upon the benefits of
scientific inbreBding, as illustrated in the production
of a very large percentage of the great winners of the
present day.

There are, of course, different degrees of inbreeding.
Then, too, there are various methods ol strengthening
an inbred pedigree. These will be found to be well-
nigh indispensable when the inbreeding is to more or
less delicate lines, however unnecessary they may be
when the inbreeding is to such stout blood as our own
Lexington or England's Birdcatcher strain, notably
through Stockwell.

Banastar is by Farandole out of Blessing. Faran-
dole was by Engineer, son of imp. Leamington. Bless-
was by Onondaga, who is also a son of Leamington.
Here we promptly encounter a doubling of the male
line of Leamington. The policy of inbreeding to
Leamington has borne successful fruit in only com-
paratively recent years. So disappointing had it been
for a long period that I had come to look upon it with
no little distrust, especially as I feel that all deductions
in the nature of the breeding problem must be founded
upon the percentage of successful results, if these de-
ductions are to be of any real benefit to the industry.
It is now becoming evident, however, that the truest
plan of operation, where Leamington is inbred, is to
protect it with an abundance of Herod blood, with
Lexington preferable. Certain strains appear to im-
peratively demand an antidote (so to speak) when-in-
bred. The English strain of Newminster, for instance,
inbreeds to better advantage when forLified with Mel-
bourne blood. This has become almost an axiom, and
it appears very likely that a similar view must be taken
of the' blood of imp. Leamington. At all events, sev-
eral instances of successful inbreeding to Leamington,
which have come under observation within recent
years, have been so accompanied with Lexington as to
strongly point to the formulation of a fairly definite
maxim upon the subject. Personally I cannot bring
myself to recommend inbreeding to Leamington as a
rule of faith and practice. It may be said to those
who feel that they must inbreod to the blood, however,
that it should be well fortified with Lexington, at
least.

Farandole, Banastar's sire, was himself inbred to
Lexington. Farandole's sire, Engineer, was by imp.
Leamington out of Lida, she by Lexington, and this
latter blood was obviously returned with great promi-
nence by Farandole's dam, Waltz, who was herself a
daughter of Lexington.

Blessiosr also possessed two lines of Lexington. Her
sire, Onondaga, is by imp. Leamington out of Susan
Beane, she by Lexington. Blessing's dam, Beatitude,
was by imp. Bonnie Scotland out of Mariposa, she by
Jack Malone, son of Lexington.

There are other features of inbreeding in Banastar's
pedigree; which, while not as pronounced as the above,
are nevertheless of interest as well of importance.
Farandole's dam, Waltz, was out of Schottische, she
by imp. Albion out of Dance by imp Glencoe. Bless-
ing's grandam, Nubia, was out of another Albion
mare, while Blessing's sire, Onondaga, had for his
grandam a daughter of imp. Glencoe.
'Another similarity is found in the fact that Lida
(dam of Farandole's sire, Enquirer) and Jack Malone
(sire of Blessing's grandam) were each by Lexington
out of a daughter of American Eclipse. This is really
a matter of considerable importance in the fortification
of the pedigree. Both Lexington and American Eclipse
trace in the male line succession tu imp. Diomed, the
first winner of the English Derby. This is one of the
stoutest strains of Herod. While unsatisfactory as a
male line in 'ater generations, it has been of great
value as broodmare blood, and is well high invaluab'e
for strengthening the intermediate quarters of a
pedigree.

Lexington was particularly well supplied with it.
Here is the pedigree ef bis sire,- Boston:

( Diomed

(Sir Arcby <

Z [Timoleon ->. ICastiaaira

(Dau. or Saltram —

Eclipse obviously brought together four close lines of
the blood. And all this was accentuated in Enquirer
(sire or Farandole) by reason of the fact that his dam,
Lida, was not only by Lexington out of an American
Eclipse mare, but also had for her granddam a
daughter of the very Sir Arcby (son of Diomed) whom
we have found to be twice represented in the pedigree
of Lexington!

All in all, while not feeling a willingness to pro-
nounce the pedigree of Banastar as ideal, I am sure
that its inbreeding, which [ have abovo outlined,
must possessdeep interest for all students of the breed-
ing problem, and I feel equally certain that both ex-
perts and laymen will agree that it is an eloquent
addition to our quota of contemporanous high-class
winners whose bloodlines testify to the benefits of the
policy of inbreeding.

I have no doubt that at this juncture several close
observers are now ready to propound the inquiry:
Where is the operation of the "colt nick" in Banastar?
Recognizing the force and appropriateness of the
question, I would first note that the "colt nick" of
returning to a stallion the best strains of his dam is
not invariable, any more than is the efficacy of placing
this nick between the two grandparents who occupy
the inside positions in the second remove of the tabu-
lated pedigree.

The accompanying suggestion of Banastar's pedi-
gree wilt help me to illustrate what I mean by these
two principles:

cq L L Beatitude

The accepted "colt nick1' for Farandole is to breed
him to mares who would return the best strains of his
bis dam, Waltz. The best placing for this nick is in
the positions occupied by Waltz and Onondaga (i. e.,
the two grandparents who occupy the inside positions
in the second remove of the tabalation) in the pedigree
of Banastar.

Banastar possesses the "colt nick" in a double sense.
Blessing's double strains of Lexington (one in each
parent) obviously return Waltz's possession of the
same blood, Lexington having been Waltz's sire.
There is also an accompanying inbreeding to imp.
Glencoe between Waltz and Onondaga, which amounts
practically to an inbreeding of the talismanic Lexing-
ton— Glencoe combination in a "colt nick"' location.

The doubling of the male line of Leamington (En-
quirer and Onondaga are both sons of that horse) is
also operative as a "colt nick," for I have come to
believe that this doubling of a male line is the main
exception to the distinctive principle of this nick. I
must reiterate, however, that the operations of these
ideas are not invariable. The deductions are simply
based upon the indications of a major percentage of
greater race horses.

Buffalo Trotting Stakes.

The early closing stakes of the Buffalo Driving Club
for its annual Grand Circuit meeting on August 4th to
9th, are announced in our advertising columns to day.
The last meeting of the club was the greatest success
in its career and every effort will be made to make this
season's meeting superior in every respect to that of
last year. The entries to the stakes close on Monday,
March 24, 1902, with John B. Sage, secretary, No. 608
Ellicott Square, Buffalo.

The list of stake events follows:

Niagara River Stake, 2:12 trotters, $2000.

Queen City Stake, 2:18 trotters, $2000.

Electric City Slake, 2:24 totters, $5000.

Iroquois Hotel Stake, 2:08 pacers, $2000.

Empire State Stake, 2:14 pacers, $2000.

Frontier Stake, 2:24 pacers, $5000.

The trouble experienced last season by reason of a
clash in dates between the promoters of the lunning
meeting at Fort Erie and the Buffalo Driving Club,
will be obviated this year, the running meeting coming
to a close on July 23d, giving the Driving Club sufficient
time to place the grounds in shape, thoroughly pre-
pare the stables and have the track in shape for the
harness horses, though in this respect it had a track
last season equal to any on the circuit. Arrangements
have alsj been made whereby the cost of export cer-
tificates, usually charged to the horsemen, will be paid
by theDriving Club and by special arrangements much
of the trouble and all of the expense will be dispensed
with.

Mr. Geo. H. Ketcham, of Toledo, Ohio, sends us
a very neatly printed announcement ol the cham-
pion stallion Cresceus 2:02} and his stable mate Silver
Bow 2:10. that heleased from Geo. H. Fox, of Clements,
Cal., and took East last December. The fee for the
services of Cresceus is placed at $300 and for Silver Bow
$100; Tbe California stallion has been greatly ad-
mired by the horsemen who have looked him over
since, he arrived in Ohio, and will make a good season
in the stud.

[Portland Rural Spirit.]

Lady Alfred 2:20 is safe in foal to Zombro 2:11.

Santiam 2:24} will be placed in the stud at some
point in the Willamette valley this season in charge of
C. E. Bryan.

John Dock is building a half track on his farm three
miles out from Moscow, Idaho, and will train a lot of
his well bred youngsters there this spring.

J. T. Wilkinson, of Chilliwack, B. C, is having his
half-mile track put in good shape and has employed
a trainer to educate some youngsters by Colloquy how
to trot. Colloquy is by Bay Bird, sire of Fellfare 2:101,
son of Jay Bird, sire of Allerton 2:09}, etc., dam Solilo-
quy by Commodore Belmont.

W. F. Watson has sold his fine Lemont team, Nancy
K. and Malen, to W. E. McCord, President of the
Wisconsin Log and Lumber Co., of Moscow, Idaho.
Nancy K. and Malen are full brother and sister, being
sired by Lemont out of a mare by Deadshot. They
are a fine team and perhaps brought the highest price
of aDy team that has been sold in this city for several
years.

Fred Booker, of North Yakima, has bought tbe
good green pacer Chester Abbott and placed him in
M. H. Williams1 stable to be trained for the circuit.
Chester Abbott is the horse that was matched against
Diodine last year and drove her to a record of 2:15 over
the North Yakima track. Mr. Brooker owned this
horse once before and sold him for $40 as an unbroken
four year old; he now buys him back fully developed
at $1000.

J. W. Tilden was over from Vancouver, Wash., this
week, where he is jogging quite a number of promising
campaigners. Mr. Tilden says Sam Elmore's green
pacer, by Malheur out of Mamie Harney (dam of Sid-
moor 2:17}) by Grand Moor, can show a two-minute
gait. He has another green pacer, by Caution, owned
by Eugene Blazier, that is going to make a sure race
horse. His gray mare, Nellie Coovert, has wintered
well and he expects her to be a 2:10 performer this
year. But the sweetest thing in his stables is a Mc.
Kinney three year old trotter out of McMinnville Maid
2:22. This filly is owned by T. D. Condon, and is a
natural trotting machine.

The day of guesswork shoeing of horses seems to be
rapidly nearing its end. says the Home World. True,
there are still many shops in which a horse's foot is
butchered and tbe shoe put on without the application
of reason or science in the operation, but it is only a
question of time when such men must give way to the
shoer who has served an apprenticeship during which
he has studied in a general way the physiology of the
horse, and in a most thorough manner the anatomy
of that animal. The shoer of to-day who has served
an apprenticeship under a competent instructor, and
who has taken advantage of the many good books
written on subjects pertaining to the care and shoeing
of the horse's foot finds that his theoretical knowledge
gained by study is a great assistance in the correction
of such defects as the horse's foot sometimes presents.
True, practice beats theory when either is taken alone,
but practice based on theory is better than either sep-
arately, and in no respect is this truer than that apply-
ing to the shoeing of the horse's foot.

Horses that weigh from 1100 to 1400 pounds, but are
"wild and woolly and hard to curry" are selling at
auction in this city at from $80 to $100 each. Two
years ago the same sort went begging at $30.

Portland Kennel Club.

The third annual show of the Portland Kennel Club
which will be held in the Exposition building, Port-
land, Or., on April 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th. is meeting
with much enthusiastic support from the northern
fanciers. The two previous bench shows given by the
club were successful, the enthusiasm of the club mem-
bers and local dog fanciers has now been pretty well
worked up to an extent that gives sanguine promise of
another successful show and possibly one to excel
anything in its line heretofore held in the Pacific
Northwest.

The question of a competent and satisfactory judge
has been settled in the selection of Mr Fred JMensell
of London, England, who will first cross the Atlantic
to officiate in the ring at the Boston show. Mr. Men-
sell will then journey direct to Portland. This choice
has been made by the officers of the Portland club for
the reason that quite a deal of criticism has arisen in
the past regarding the awards made at northern
bench shows, and this year they propose to select a
judge without any particular Coast affinities. Conse-
quently we expect to note the upsetting of much dog
lore and law heretofore propounded and laid down by
the "coast oracle of dogdom. ' who went north last
year with a string of dogs.

The belief is current that 400 dogs or over veill be
benched at Portland show. Full particulars, premium
lists, entry blanks, etc., can be obtained by addressing
the secretary, William Peasley, Portland, Oregon.

A partial list of patronesses of the April show cf the
San Francisco Kennel Club discloses the names of well
kno • n ladies prominent in society circles and leaders
of various charitable organizations; among the names
already given out are Mrs. Eleanor Martin, Mrs.
Francis Carolan, Mrs. Henry T. Scott, Mrs. E. D. Bey-
lard, Mrs. Joseph Grant, Mrs. Geo. W. Gibbs, Mrs.
Wm. B. Hooper, Mrs. J. Lincoln, Mrs. A. W. Moore,
Mrs. Geo. Pope, Mrs. Austin C. Tubbs, Mrs. Mount-
ford Wilson and Mrs Samuel Drysdale. Surely a most
pleasing combination of prestige and influence."

A number additional specials were received this week;
most of these are to be placed at the discretion of the
club; among the donors we note an elegant silver cup
from Clabrough, Golcher & Co. Dr. Wesley Mills.
McGill University, Montreal. Mr. Walter Magee.
The Victoria KenDel Club. John E. de Ruyter. The
Collie Club of America. The bench show committee
has also received an offer of the Van Schaick Cup,
valued at $300, and a club medal for the best American
bred Collie dog aod best American bred Collie bitch.

Mr. George Gooderham, of Toronto, has offered a
special for the best Fox Terrier, smooth or wire, dog
or bitch.

Mr. John Love Cunningham offers a cup for the best
smooth Fox Terrier puppy bred on the Pacific Coast.

Mr. E. Courtney Ford places again in competition
the cup which he absolutely won last year. A cup,
originally given by Mr. O. O. Heydenfeldt, for the best
smooth haired Fox Terrier bitch owned on the Pacific
Coast, to be judged by two or more of her get. Mr.
Ford won the beautiful cup with Eclipse Blanche, now
owned by Charles K. Harley — the further conditions
of the competition are that the cup is to be won three
times by the same owner before it becomes absolute
individual property.

The directors of Union Coursing Park, at a meeting
held on Tuesday made final arrangements in regard to
the Greyhound exhibit at the April show.

The classification for Greyhounds has been arranged,
by suggestion of the California Coursing Committee.
Open dogs, 1st $40, 2d S20, 3d $10. Open bitches, ditto.
Field trial classes — the conditions of competition being
that the trials referred to are only those which .have
been duly organized by the California Coursing Com-
mittee, the open and reserve stakes of which must
have had not less than 32 entries. First class, for
dogs that have reached semi-finals of Champion and
Open Stakes or finals of Reserve Stakes, $30, $15 and
$10. First class, for bitches, ditto. Second class, for
dogs that have not reached, finals or semi-finals as
above, $20. $10 and $5, the same wins aie provided for
bitches in a similar second class. Junior class — for
dogs eighteen and under, $25, $15 and $10. For bitches,
ditto. Novice class — For dogs, non-bench winners or
non-winners of two courses in any stake, $10 and $5.
For bitches, ditto. Kennel prize for the best four, $40.

One of the finest trophies that the club has ever
offered was received thi6 week from Mr. George K.
Ketcharo, of Toledo, Ohio, the owner of the celebrated
harness horse Cresceus. This magnificent trophy has
be n a center of attraction in the window of the ken-
nel club office, No. 138 Montgomery street, since it has
arrived.

The premium list will go to press this week and ere
long a large edition will be thoroughly distributed
and in the hands of dog owners on this Coast, the
middle west, and the east. The pages of the premium
list will be larger than usual and of uniform size with
the catalogue.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

Death of Viscount.

Champion Viscount, a sterling good dog, one of the
best known Cockers on the Coast, has taken the good
dog's final journey. Old age and attending complica-
tions necessitated the administration of chloroform as
a mercy. Viscount was by Champion Pickpania out
of Tootsie. He was bred by Mr. F. Wilson of Toronto
and before his appearance here in the Pastime Cocker
Kennels string had made a splendid showing of wins
in Xew York, Chicago and Detroit. He won out here
repeatedly, having a total record of 26 firsts and spe-
cials to his credit. He was purchased by Mr. E. C.
Plume in 1898, we believe, and has had a good record
in the stud.

L. A. Klein had the pleasant experience this week of
receiving from the A. K. C. five elegant silver cham-
pionship medals for the following Dachshundes:
Venlo's Imp, Veniivette. Venlo For Ever, Venlona
and Venlo's Best Man. Four more of these desirable
trophies are due for: Venlola. Venlo's Importation.
Venlo's German Girl and Ilk.

W. S. Kittle has claimed the name of "Stump
Wyman" for his black, white and tan English Setter
Jog by Merry Monarch out of a bitch by Tray Spot ex
Hazel C. If the dog has anywhere near the good
qualities of the sportsman he is named after he should
be a crackerjack.

San Francisco Fly-Casting Club Banquet.

Tuesday evening last was a memorable night in
the pleasing history of the local club of rod wielders.
The event of the occasion was the election of Grover
Cleveland, ex-President of the United States, as an
honorary member of the organization. Prior to elec-
tion of their illustrious new member, the club members,
by unanimous vote, adopted the necessary changes in
the club constitution — changes which provided for
the election of ten honorary members, those eligible
must be avowed and experienced anglers who have
achieved wide and honorable distinction in business,
professional or public life in the United States of
America. Residents of San Francisco, Alameda, Marin
or San Mateo countiesarenoteligible to such honorary
membership.

"The foremost angler of America," as President
Walter D. Mansfield happily termed Mr. Cleveland, is
the first on the list of honorary members of the club.
His health was drank in a standing toast, whilst the
company sang the Star Spangled Banner, accompanied
by the orchestra.

To Mr. Fayette H. Reed was due the pleasant
function of electing so distinguished a citizen and
angler to the club. In response to a letter of Mr.
Reed's, the ex-President replied by autograph letter
as follows:

Westland, Princeton, N. J , Jan. 8, 1902.

FayetU H. Heed. Esq.— Dear Sir: I have received your letter
and desire to t hank you for your courteous Oder to present my name
for honorary membership in the California Fly-Casting Club.

Assuming that no duty nor service is involved, it would give me
great pleasure to be so enrolled. Yours truly,

Gboveb Cleveland.

During the evening President Mansfield read "A
Defense of the Angler, "' an article written by Grover
Cleveland and which was published in the Saturday
Evening Post. This now famous, practical and most
humorous contribution of Mr. Cleveland was enjoyed
thoroughly by the fraternity of anglers present.
"Three cheers and a tiger'* were given for the eminent
author at the close of the reading.

Other entertainment during the evening was given
by various speaker , vocal and instrumental music be-
ing enjoyed between "talks." The banquet hall at
the California Hotel was tastefully draped with the
national colors.

Among those present were: Walter D. Mansfield,

E. T. Allen, H. Battu, W. F. Bogart, A. M. Blade, H.
G. W. Dinkelspiel, Dr. W. E. Brooks, John Butler,

The contests scheduled for last Saturday and post-
poned by reason of bad weather will be held to-morrow
afternoon at Stow Lake.

Last Sunday morning a number of the members met
at Stow lake for the regular fly-casting meet. Weather
conditions were much against effective work, at times
the gentlemen present had to desist from the casting
and take shelter from the showers. The scores ma. e
were as follows:

Sunday Contest No. 2— Stow Lake, Mar:h 2, 1902. Wind,
southeast. "Weather, showery and fair.

Judges— Messrs. Mansfield and Daverkosen. Referee, Mr.
Watt. Clerk. Mr Wilson.

John Bradshaw has announced his intention of tak-
ing a string of dogs through the northern circuit of
shows — Seattle, Portland and Victoria Bradshaw's
string at the last Los Angeles show was a material
factor in the success of the southern show. He put
down his dogs in high-class shape and brought back a
number of trophies and blue ribbons to pleased owners
in this city. He has already been commissioned with
an imposing string of good ones from this State — prin-
cipally owned in this city, however.

The following story of a dog's sagacity comes in a
press dispatch from Rochester, X. Y. Xero, a St.
Bernard dog belonging to John Oliver, a farmer of
Gates, attracted the attention of his master recently
one morning by his peculiar actions. The dog would
rush to the door, whine and paw the panels until some
one came out, and then rush-off to his kennel.

After repeating this performance some time he was
followed to the doghouse, where an investigation
revealed a half frozen infant, scantily dressed and
almost buried in the straw. The baby was hastily
carried into the house and medical aid summoned,
while Xero showed his joy at being understood by
uttering shor. barks and running around his master.

Upon further investigation tracks in the deep snow
were discovered, showing that the dog had half
carried, half dragged the baby across fields from the
woods nearly a mile distant, where the infant either
was lost or had been abandoned. An old blanket and
some infant clothing that had slipped off when Xero
attempted to carry the baby home showed where the
child had lain in the snow. It is feared the baby will
die from the effects of its terriblo exposure despite the
brave effort of the dog to save its life.

In Defense of the Meadow Lark.

The Department of Agriculture at Washington,
D. C, for some time past has had specialists all over
the country investigating the doings of the meadow
lark, particularly in regard to his alleged shortcomings
as stated by complaining farmers, who claimed that
much damage has been done by this sweet singing field
bird in destroying young grain. That this complaint
is unfounded has been proven by a recent report care-
fully compiled by noted entomologists, who endow tbe
meadow lark with a reputation for much good. A
thorough research into the matter by the Department
and after hundreds of tests and examinations of the
stomachs of the birds, has proven that the lark is the
best known destroyer of weevil, caterpillars, beetles
and a host of small insects, all injurious to the industry
of the grain grower.

. At the Traps.

The California Wing Club live bird shoot last Sun.
day at Ingleside was well attended by club members
and visiting sportsmen. The interest and enthusiasm
in the sport was unabated throughout the day and is
a good augury of the popularity of trap shooting
among local devotees of tbe shotgun. Weather con-
ditions, luckily, were quite favorable, but little rain
falling during the day. The birds supplied were, as a
rule, strong and swift flying ones. Less than a half
dozen "no birds" were called during the shoot. In
the preliminary shoot before the club match, five men,
good shots, too, each in succession missed their pigeon.
Many of the birds which dropped dead out were well
centered, but they seemed to have vitality enough to
spoil some good scores.

The straights in the club race were Feudner, Jack-
son and McMurchy, the latter shooting as a guest of

The Golden Gate Gun Club shoot at blue rocks to-
morrow will be the Ingleside attraction. The olub race
at 25 targets, $20 added, distance handicap, a re-entry
miss and out, $10 aided, a race at 10 sets of doubles,
distance handicap, and a "couple shoot" for merchan-
dise prizes will be the club program.

An extra event will be the first of three shoots for
the final ownership of each of three Olympic Gun
Club trophies, the State Association six'-man team
trophy, the Overland Monthly six-man team trophy
and the Roos three-man team trophy. All members
of the Olympic Gun Club in good standing at the time
of merging with the Golden Gate Gun Ciub are eligible
for the competition.

The committe appointed to arrange for the disposi-
tion of the cups have decided upon three matches at
50 blue rocks each, distance handicap, the first match
will take place to-morrow at 1 p. M.. the second on
April 13th and the last on May 11th. The winner of
the first cup will be barred from the following two
shoots, the same prohibition applies to the winner of
the second cup. Entrance to these shoots will be $1.50

Sacramento sportsmen have taken to trap shooting
with a vim thus early in the season; last Sunday the
Capital City Blue Rock Club held its opening club
shoot at Kimball & Upson's grounds at Agricultural
Park. Owing to the uncertain condition of the weather,
many members did not attend. The older cranks, in
fact, were obliged to break Upson's slumbers before
they could open the grounds. The shoot lasted until
dark. George Wittenbrock was again in harness with
his usual good eye and broke 24 out of 25 birds, dust-
ing the twenty-fifth one very hard.

Several interesting team events between Ruhstaller's
and Upson's teams were shot, in each of which Ruh-
staller's men were the victors.

The "Soupbones"— Washington Gun Club— will
shoot at the grounds to-morrow and spectators will be
welcome.

The club shoot at twenty-five birds called foi the
best efforts of the members, Wittenbrock ranking first
with 24. Herold and Newbert tied for second place
with 23 each. The scores resulted as follows:

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

We will here politely suggest to Mr. Shark, the
scissors artist of an evening daily, that many readers
of the Breeder and Sportsman would consider
themselves under a great obligation if there was a dis-
continuance of the practice of weekly mutilation, by
tearing out the pages devoted to Rod, Gun and Ken-
nel, of the copy of this journal subscribed to by Mr.
John Butler at No. 7 Sutter street and there placed
on file for the accommodation of a number of locai
sportsmen and others, patrons of the establishment,
and positively not furnished for the convenience of
any one, so far lost to a sense of ordinary propriety, a9
to deliberately practice the annoyance above referred
to.

Anv attache of the press of this or anv other citv,
is always welcome to a copy of this paper, if the slight
trouble of calling at or sending to our office for it
would be observed. We do not at all object to seeing
and reading in any other paper paragraphs, with local
heads put on them, which we had issued a week pre-
viously as original matter. We are rather pleased to
note that our efforts are appreciated by the daily press.
We do, however, dislike to see a mau who pays for his
paper imposed upon, and so do others.

Among the local contingent who will attend the
Grand American Handicap at Kansas City will prob-
ably be Otto Feudner, C. A. Haight, Phil B. Bekeart,
Ed Donohoe and C. C. Nauman. It is possible that
several other shooters will conclude to go before the
middle of this month.

According to the records kept at the Gridley Gun
Club hunting grounds near the town of Gridley, Butte
county, the number of ducks killed during the recent
open season was as follows: October, 1470: November,
2463; December 4672; January, 2!>47; making a total for
the whole season of 11,552. There were probably many
others killed which were not reported, and the total is
likely to run above 14,000. There are no better hunt-
ing grounds in the State, and besides ducks, thousands
of geese were killed. Of the ducks killed in December
the greater proportion were mallards.

Like all good things, Jackson's Napa Soda has a
dozen counterfeits. Watch out I

Max, the handsome Pointer owned by Fred W.
King, died last week. Max w'll be remembered by the
many shooters attending the live bird section of the
Ingleside grounds for several years past, as a hard
working and excellent retriever of pigeons both in and
out of bounds. Max was al30 an excellent field dog.

A Colorado Wolf Hunt.

Eastern Colorado ranchmen value an ordinary
coyote at about S37.50. This extravagant price has
resulted in many great hunts for several years past,
in which it is estimated thousands of the little animals
fell victims to the "14" of the cowboy or the dogs of the
visiting sportsmen of the East.

The famous plains country in Eastern Colorado,
which was once tbe breeding ground and home of
thousands of buffalo, is now populated by thousands
of coyotes and so destructive have they become to the
stock interests of the section in question that the state
of Colorado and the cattle barons, working together,
are offering $37.50 for every coyote scalp presented.

This liberal offer resulted in attracting hundreds of
hunters from Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming and West-
ern Colorado, and the section infested found many
hunters who made what they call ''big money."

For the past five years tbe ranchmen have admitted
their inability to cope with the increasing hundreds of
wolves, but they have borne their burden patiently in
the hope that the animals might be successfully killed
by poison. The prairie wolves, however, have been so
well fed on veal and lamb from the herds on a thousand
hills that a piece of beef lying on the prairie has no
attraction for their cultivated tastes, and tbey pass
it by.

Gardnerbrothers, representative ranchmen of Yuma
county, some time ago lost thirty -six head of cattle,
and for many days they could not account for the
strange fatality. Large and small stock were sud-
denly" attacked by a mad frenzy, and would continue
in such a condition until death. The cattle would paw
the earth and attempt to bite and hook everything in
sight, whether animate or inanimate Froth and
foam from the mouths of the maddened beasts fairly
saturated the range. Ranchmen were terror stricken
and dared not attempt to quiet or corral them either
on foot or on horseback. After the three days' reign
of terror, three dozen cattle were found dead scattei-ed
over the range. Former State Veterinarian Gresswell
was called down to investigate the causes of the
losses, and forwarded a complete diagnosis to Wash-
ington, with the result that Dr. Salmon of the depart-
ment pronounced it rabies.

Then the Gardner boys remembered that they had
killed a coyote which had acted very strangely about
two weeks previous to the death of the stock. It had
secluded itself in a vacant ranch cabin and was nearly
dead from exhaustion when one of the cowboys on the
round-up dispatched it with a club.

The great stock section was alive to the danger by
this time and besides the regular $2.50 offered for every
wolf scalp by the State of Colorado, two ranchmen
offered $10 each for every wolf captured and the East-
ern Colorado Live Stock Association, as a body, offered
$15 for every animal killed.

In Denver scores of sportsmen with dogs and guns
have arranged to make an onslaught on tbe range of
sand hills in which the coyotes breed, and letters from
Nebraska and Kansas indicated that hundreds would
be on the ground from neighboring states. Many
Wyoming people will also attend.

The range of sand hills mentioned break a monoto-
nously level prairie, or plain, near the state line be-
tween Colorado and Nebraska, and it is here that the
little animals breed by thousands every year. These
plains were once the favorite home of the buffalo and
the range of sand hills furnished shelter for them in
winter.

Twelve years ago when one of these big wolf hunts
became inter-state and almost national in its character,
on account of the hundreds of people interested who
attended from all parts of tbe country, it was believed
that the coyote was a thing of tbe past because so
many of the animals had been slaughtered. Eighteen
hundred were killed at that time but the rate of mor-
tality appears to have no appreciable effect upon the
prolific coyote.

While the cowboys do not fear them, instances have
been known in the past where the children of ranch-
men have been attacked and narrowly escaped death.
One particular case depicts a little girl venturing a few
yards from the house just at dusk and an attack from
coyotes. She is still alive but horribly scarred from
the mutilations received in the attack upon her.

The country so thickly populated by these animals
is of more than passing historic note, and many of the
sportsmen who attended the hunt twelve years ago
took away with them a collection of Indian "relics and
curios extremely valuable„as souvenirs o* in the mar-
kets of the East.

Eastern Colorado, during the pioneer days of the
West, was the scene of many battles between the Indi-
ans and the whites and between the different tribes of
Indians as well. Within a few miles — not over fifty —
of the range of sand bills where the coyotes. breed, the
.famous battle of the Arickaree was fought. A few
miles to thenoi-t.h of this point is the place poir,
as the spot - uffalo Bill) and Chief

Yellow Hand had their 1 .ud-to-hand conflict

in which the old scout triumphed signally. A
in the same county, Yuma, there is an old Indian bat-
tlefield and burying ground that has been frightfully
. "iesecrated by relic hunters, but many interesting
marks of Indian warfare and frontier life are still to be
sean. The old line for earthworks thrown up by the
troops and the search for arrow points furnish an
abundant resource of entertainment for visitors.

lie present time this burying ground is a sieve —

iterally filled with holes dug' by coyotes or made in

excavating for the remains of the Indians, who were
usually buried with tomahawks, gun or some jewel in
the belief that such articles might be needed when the
spirit of the departed had reached the happy hunting
ground.

The citizens ol the various stock towns in the coyote-
infested section are preparing to have a day fixed for
one big "round-up" of the entire three counties repre-
senting the territory that has suffered so severely as a
result of the depredations of the animal. If this is
done, and it will be, the big hunt will present some in-
teresting features. The three counties represent a
territory something like eighty miles square. Yuma
is the largest of the three and Yuma and Washington
counties have suffered most from the ravages of the
carnivorous beasts.

The reader can picture in his mind a vast territory
of sage brush and sand bills eighty miles across either
way. Then he can imagine the horsemen from all
over the country arranged around the outer limits of
this area. At the start the hunters may be some dis-
tance apart, but as they move in at a certain hour
toward one common center they soon get closer
together until they finally meet. Every two miles of
horsemen around the square will have a captain, who
will direct all movements. If the start is made at li
o'clock in the morning the scene, if possible to encom-
pass it within the vision of one man, would represent
more than a regiment of cavalry and more than one
thousand dogs, dashingnearly all day across the plains,
forcing every living thing before them. A mixed
mass — cowboys, tenderfeet, cattle barons, millionaires,
Eastern sportsmen and withal a lively, yelling horde
of men intent on gathering coyote scalps.

If the start for the forty-mile ride to the center is
made at 6 o'clock in the morning the forces from all
four sides ought to meet at the common center before
sunset and perhaps little past the middle of the after-
noon.

According to a report of a nephew of the famous
Kit Carson, who practically conducted the hunt during
the eighties, the scenes during the last hours of the
hunt are never to be forgotten. Coyotes frightened
out of the tall grass at the approach of the oncoming
hunters ran like sheep in a circle in the hope that they
may find a friendly outlet to freedom. As a result by
the' time the horsemen and hunters got within two or
three miles of each other at the close of the hunt they
represent a corral surrounding hundreds of coyotes,
circling in a mad mass like so many frightened sheep.

The dogs are unleashed and the slaughter begins.
If there are 1000 hounds they will all be slaughtering
on the outside of the herd of coyotes, which will num
ber nearly double what the canines will. Imagine 2000
wild, frightened, frenzisd, maddened wolves, snapping,
yelping and hurrying in nearly every direction after
the circle is broken. The one that endeavors to pass
the corral of cavalry is dispatched with a repeating
rifle or a ".44." Those remaining inside the circle of
hounds, human beings and horses are panic-stricken-
biting each other, falling and suffering death in the
mad scramble. Here are two wolves pulling and dis-
membering a dog and there you see the hounds, blood-
stained and eager for the fight, tearing the little coyotes
limb from limb. Excited hunters endeavor to use
their rifles, and dogs as well as wolves suffer. When
the fight is over few have escaped, but the battlefield
is red with the blood of the dogs and the wolves. It
represents a picture of slaughter supreme.

The battle royal on the occasion of the last hunt
lasted for nearly two hours and scores of the best hounds
in that countrv bit the dust.

Fishing for Bone -Fish in Biscayne Bay.

We were sitting about the blazing fire-place, sports-
men from all parts of the country, John B. McFerran
and J. W. Davis, of Louisville, Ky., among the others.

"We have come to Maine," began Mr. Davis, "prin-
cipally to convince ourselves that we have found, in
the hone-fish of Florida, the earnest fish that swims.
We have taken the land-locked salmon of the Range-
leys and the big square-tailed trout of the Northern
Maine lakes and streams. We've caught the tarpon
of the South, the black bass of the North, and we have
fished for the gamest fish the country affords, only to
be convinced more fully that nothing can hold a candle
with the terror I have named.

"To say that the gamest fish in the world and native
of the United States is little known, and that scarcely
a score of sportsmen have fished for it, is to appear
ridiculous in the eyes of veterans who have caught, so
they imagine, everything that swims from Florida to
Newfoundland, and from Massachusetts to California;
but we are convinced that such is the case.

"It is strange, and it isn't, that so little is known of
.the bone-fish. Probably this fact is due to their
scarcity, and, perhaps, to the desire of the few sports-
men who have had the entree to the fun, to keep quiet
about it; but, for our part, we want sportsmen to know
about this king of the waters. The fish is found in
Biscayne bay, off the coast of Florida, at Miami, the
terminus of Flagler's east coast line and the farthest
point south reached by any railroad. It is not known
to be anywhere on the American coast except in Bis-
cayne bay and a territory covering perhaps some one
hundred miles — that ls'J the waters of Biscayne bay
and those extending south for some sixty miles further.

"Our discovery was purely accidental. My friend,
McFerran, was south, oh- a cruising trip, and purely by
accident put into Miami for supplies. Ever on the
lookout for fishing, he inquired of a native what was
to be-found thereabouts, and was told of the bone fish.
-He tried the sport, became ah enthusiast, and since
then nothing else has satisfied him in the way of fish-
ing. We have become interested as his friends and
We ic-jl the same, but to convince ourselves that noth-
ing else approaches the bone-fish we have tried the
different waters of the land.

"The fishes weigh from three to ten pounds, averag-

ing five and six. They are dark on the back, with
silvery sides, and scales like a tarpon. They are long
and slender but well knit and powerful, with a sharp
forked tail and prominent dorsal fin They are put
up for speed. They look as if they might belong to
the mullet or herring family. They have a large bone
in the jaw with which they crush their food, a shell-
fish, hence the name.

"The fishing is best from flood to full tide, at which
time the fishes come in and go out, feeding on the flats
or shoal waters at a depth of eight to ten inches,
where their food abounds. It is a splendid sight to
see them comingin in schools, that big fin of theirs cut-
ting the water and every now and then a bit of sun-
shine reflecting from their silvery sides. As they feed
upon the bottom their heads go down and their tails
show above the water.

"Your guide works the boat toward them carefully,
for they are as timid as deer, and once frightened are
very difficult to approach. When within from sixty
to eighty feet you cast out your bait, one of the shell-
fish upon which they feed (and it must be fresh, for
they will not touch a piece of stale bait), to within
some twenty feet of them, not nearer, for fear of start-
ling them. They have a nose like a full-blooded
pointer, and when they smell that bait and commence
to hunt for it, it is enough to give the most hardened
sportsman nervous prostration. The bait must lie
until they find it. This is indicated by a slight nibble,
for they are not vigorous biters, and they must be
hooked, for they rarely hook themselves.

"What's he do when hooked? What's a race horse
do when he gets the word? But a horse is not in the
same class. From three hundred to five hundred feet
of the line are taken out at the first rush. This is
often repeated twice, and not infrequently three times,
making from 1000 to 1200 feet of line in all taken out.
When these runs are over, if you have the fish on the
line, which probably you will not unless you are ex-
perienced, it is fight, light, fight, every inch of the
way to the boat, the runs growing shorter as the fish
fails. When the fish sees the boat the final and
mighty struggle comes. Not having strength to make
dashes he circles about the boat at a distance from ten
to thirty feet, often going clear around the craft half
a dozen times or more. When he comes up alongside
he is dead — he has died dead game — and he may be
lifted in with safety by the guide.

"Now, mark my word, a man who once catches a
bone-fish is never satisfied with anything else after-
ward. Tarpon fishing is child's play in comparison.
George H. Hulings of Philadelphia is one of the con-
verted men, and his remark, 'I'd rather catch a seven-
pound bone-fish than be governor of Pennsylvania.'
expresses the feelings of all sportsmen who have tried
the sport.

" 'Our best string?' Well, Friend McFerran aDd
myself caught in two and one-half days' fishing, last
March, forty fishes averaging seven and one-half
pounds apiece. None were under six and none over
nine pounds in weight. The several runs of each of
these fishes aggregated not less than 1000 feet.

"Gentlemen, my description is very, very tame. One
must feel the mighty rush of this king of the finny
tribe to understand what the sport is. One's experi-
ence with him cannot be told in words. If you desire
fishing beyond your wildest dreams, my advice is, en-
counter this chap on his native heath. The bone-fish
is not the lady-fish of the Florida coast. This fish is
generally known as the bone-fish among the natives,
but they are of no kin, except that both are fishes.

"For the table I believe they have no equal, either
planked or broiled. The fishing is best in November
and December, but is good all through the winter, and
as late as April. The Royal Palm Hotel offers fine
but by no means cheap accommodations. A yawl
costs three dollars and a half, a catboat five dollars
and a sloop ten dollars per day. This price includes a
guide. William, Charlie ana George Bickle are guides
at Miami and, I believe, there are no better guides in
Florida.

"Regular black bass tackle will do, provided there
are six hundred feet of No. 9 (fine) best flax or linen
line, a good multiplying reel and handmade, hammered
bronzed hooks on treble, twisted, best-quality gut.
Up to three years ago not a dozen men had caught
this fish and the number that knows of him now is far
too small for such royal and unequalled sport. Believe
me, it is richly worth crossing two continents for the
thrill of encountering him." — American Field.

California Jack Rabbits.

The jack rabbits of Southern California are the
biggest rabbits in existence. They are as fleet as the
wind, and one will si' still on its form or by the road-
side until you have almost grabbed it by its mule-like
ears, but before you can close your fingers on it there
will be no rabbit there. If you look, say forty yards
ahead, you will see what you think is another rabbit,
humped up in a fluffy bunch, waiting for you in the
same way. But it won't be another rabbit. It will be
the same one, it having covered all that distance and
-settled down again before you have hardly missed it
from where it sat first.

These big rabbits are as swift and sudden as the fleas
that swarm on them as soon as summer comes. The
rabbits are fat then, but these fleas are so thick on
them, and are so ravenous that they actually reduce
the long-eared four-footed jumper to a skeleton by the
time the fall rain sets in. If it wasn't for those regular
fall rains the fleas would be of great service in destroy-
ing the rabbit pest, for the rabbits could not withstand
the assaults of their insatiable parasites many days
longer. But the rains are certain, and they are fatal
to the fleas. The water kills the fleas, and the rabbits
pitch in again on ths vineyards and orchards and grain
with sharpened appetites. Notwithstanding the thou-
sands of jack rabbits slaughtered in thespring, numbers
escaj)e to keep the supply big enough to make it neces-
-sary for the slaughter of other thousands the next
spring. It is simply impossible to exterminate, them,
they are such sure and persistent breeders.

Beet pulp has a tendency to fatten, con-
sequently it is often given to beef cattle
without the addition of other feed. When
wanted for milch cows it is best to use it
with a little hayor grain, as without these
there is a tendency to produce thin, watery
milk and to lay on flesh When pulp is
fed in considerable quantities, the animals
do not care so much for water.

John Kupport of Humboldt county
writes to the Times of Eureka asking for
information as to the best breed of
chickens to keep for profit. He says he
tried an experiment with ninety hens last
year and here is the egg record : January,
981; February. 1016; "March. 1156; April,
1-.09; May, 1712; June, 004 ; July. 971 ;
August. 887; September. 716; October,
497; November, 3.19; December, 643.
Total, 11,111 or 122 for each hen. Can
anyone beat that.

132,000 Deaths from
this alone.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright'** Dise^ e.
Posted clubmen understand this so w '1
that many have tests made every fe
months Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and D'abeies are increas-
ing at a fearful rate. The last census re-
ports show that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132.000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing thisone fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curable in about 87% of all cases. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

horse in California can show a greater propor-
tion of large, handsome, strongly built and
well-boned colts They all look alike and in
nearly every instance are square trotters. The
only one that has been trained is Joe Eviston
[3_2:22in 1901.

great brood mare by Happy Medium, sire of the great all-round mare, Nancy Hanks 2:04, and other
greatones: second dam by the hannsome sire Almont Lightning {sire of the dam of Zombro 2-11 and
other great all-in-all animals, both on the turf and in the show rings; third dam by that sire of game,
sound, handsome animals, Mambrino Patchen 58: fourth dam by that speed producing sire, Mambrino
Chief 11; fifth dam by that stylish and long distance racing horse, Mason's Whip.

STAM B. is a fine aDd substanaial upstanding bay, 15.3 haods tall, weighs 1100 pounds, and now
rightly ranks among the most promising young sires of the land. That he is now in public service in
California is a fact for which breeders may be grateful. He is already proving a sire of speed and
gameness, together with size, superb style and high action, transmitting these qualities to every foal
regardlessof dam. He is acknowledged by all who have seen him to be very near the real and ideal
race horse and all-around sire. His racing qualities were beyond criticism, and all close observers
know that in his blood are represented the kings and queens of the trotting turf and show rings.

BALLISTITE

The extreme high velocity and great penetration with unexcelled regularity
of this powder erroneously cause the statement that it gives excessive breech
and barrel pressure. The truth is, after exhaustive comparative tests, the

PRESSURES

of this powder are found to be, load for load and velocity for velocity, the
lowest of any sporting powder now used, giving the lightest recoil as well as

LOWEST

Cartridges loaded with BAIXISTITE can be obtained from the leading

IT is to be hoped .that the directors of the different dis-
trict associations throughout the State will realize
the importance of arranging; programs for their fairs
this year that will come somewhere near to the stand-
ard that was in the minds of the legislators who in-
augurated the district fair system in California and
provided an appropriation for its maintenance. It
should be the aim of every district board to give a fair
that will be an actual benefit to the county or district
wherein it is held. Every legitimate industry of the
locality should be encouraged, and the farmers and
fruit growers, the miners and the manufacturers,
should have premiums offered for their best efforts.
There are localities where stock breeding can be made
the leading and most profitable industry of the county,
and in such places the stock show should be the lead-
ing feature of the fair. In other places fruit is the
principal product and big premiums should be given
for the best varieties. The races should be arranged
in such a manner as to x>rovidethe leading amusement
feature and at the same time encourage the breeding
and training of horses that will be profitable for the
farmer to raise. On this plan the racing program
shou'd be made up almost entirely of trotting and
pacing events. The light harness horse is a useful
animal in every community, and the American road-
ster is the most valuable and at the same time the most
profitable horse for the farmer to breed and raise.
There should be races provided to test the speed and

the endurance of the trotter and pacer, and good, lib"
eral premiums for the handsomest and best park and
road horses. The thoroughbred horse breeder needs
little encouragement from the State or district fairs.
There is about a half million dollars hung up for him
to compete for during the fall and winter months in
California and every summer millions are given for run-
ning races on Eastern tracks. Tke district fairs can
ignore the thoroughbred horse entirely without
detriment to anyone, as they cannot afford to give
purses large enough to attract anything but the
skates.

/"^REAT LISTS of entries have been received for
^-* the big early closing stakes offered by the asso-
ciations that comprise the Grand Circuit. While the
lists will not be ready to announce until next week,
word comes across the continent that the entries are
numerous enough to justify the prediction that the
trotting and pacing events will have fully as many and
probably more starters than last year. At Brighton
Beach the five purses which closed March 1st have
assumed record proportions. The largest of the money
prizes is the $10,000 Bonner Memorial, a 2:12 trot for
eligibles on March 1st, which are to be named August
1st. There are twenty nominators. The Brighton
Purse of $5000, a 2:10 pace, with the same conditions,
has attracted twenty-six nominators. The Hiram
Woodruff Purse of $5000, a 2:20 trot, has obtained the
record entry of 112 horses, representing forty-eight
subscribers. The John H. Sh tilts Purse of $5000, a
2:24 trot for four year olds, receives a total entry of 55
horses, divided among thirty-one nominators. The
Metropolitan Purse of $5000, a 2:20 pace, is filled by 63
horses, representing thirty-eight subscribers. Among
the nominators is Major P. P. Johnston, President of
the National Trotting Association. While one of the
prominent breeders of the country, it has been several
years since the name of Major Johnston has graced the
list of nominators and his return to the ranks of those
who race the product of their farms is both note-
worthy and gratifying. The animal nominated is the
four year old Thakus by King Clay out of a thorough-
bred mare. He is named in the John H. Shults purse.

^TRAINING HAS BEGUN on all the tracks in Cali.
* fornia this week in earnest. The weather since
the big storm has been of the true California type and
trainers have begun taking advantage of it. Pleasan-
ton has more horses stalled there than ever before
known in the history of the horse centre and nearly
every horse is headed for the races. It is the same at
Alameda. San Jose, Vallejo, Los Angeles, Salinas
Hollister, Eureka, Colusa, Lodi, Woodland, Sacral
mento and, in fact, nearly every track in .the State
that is in condition to work horses on is well patron-
ized. The district associations are all alive to the fact
that entries will be numerous this year and are getting
to work arranging for an early announcement of pro-
grame. There will be more money to trot for in Cali
fornia this year than for many seasons past, and there
is a determination on the part of all to make the rac-
ing of better class than usual. In the pacing classes
we expect to see some very fast miles made this year,
and it need not surprise anyone if there are more new
comers to the 2:15 list among the side-wheelers than
have ever before developed in one season. There are
not many high class trotters to be found among the
green classes, but it is early yet, and it may be that
another month may bring out quite a contingent of
fast green ones. Horses that can trot in 2:20 will more
than earn their oats in California this year if they a>*e
consistent and good actors, and there will be many
purses for that and slower classes. Twelve weeks of
harness racing for purses ranging from $400 to $1000 is
assured.

THE Golden Gate Fair Association has changed it3
dates. It had announced its meeting for the week
of August 16th to 23d, but has decided to change to the
week immediately following the State Fair. In fact,
the Oakland association claims the balance of the
month of September for its meeting, opening Septem-
ber 22d and continuing until and including September
30th, giving eight days of racing. In view of the fact
that all the other district associations in this part of
the State are satisfied with one week of racing, it loojis
to me as if the Oakland organization should be content
with six days, so as not to conflict with any other fair
that may follow it.

OWNERS AND TRAINERS are reminded that a
large number of big stakes and purses for trotters
and pacers will soon close, beginning to-day with that
great event, the Kentucky $21,000 Futurity. The con-
dition and dates of many of these stakes and purses
will be found advertised in the BREEDER AND SPORTS-
MAN and we ask every horseman who has anything to
enter to keep the dates in mind and not allow them to
pass without making his entries.

CINCE the year 1892, when that famous team Tom
>J Ryder and Belle Button, both by Alexander But-
ton, paced the Oakland track in a race in 2:16J, setting
a record for a double team that has never since been
equaled in California, there has been considerable talk
in regard to team racing at the district and State fairs.
On several occasions team races have been held at
Sacramento and other places, but for some reason
they have seldom attracted much of an entry list
This year there is a chance to make team racing one
of the features of the California circuit and we hope
that all the larger districts can be induced to offer
purses of good size for contests of this sort. We have
heard several trainers sa'y'that a purse of $800 or $1000
will secure sufficient entries to make such a race. fill
well and be a very attractive part of the program. We
would suggest that should such purses be offered that
an additional sum be offered for the breaking of the
coast record of 2:16}. It will take a pair of good
actors with great speed to lower the record of Belle
Button and Tom Ryder, but there are several trainers
who think they have the horses that can do the trick.
No more picturesque or thrilling sight can be seen on
a race track than four or five fast teams exerting
every effort to reach the wire first. Any association
that can provide such a feature for its meeting this
summer will have a drawing card that will help to
swell its gate receipts materially. It will cost nothing
to offer.the purse and if it does not fill no harm will be
done.

A HOT AIR STORY was sent out from San Jose
*» a few weeks ago, printed in a San Francisco daily
and since copied extensively in the eastern turf papers,
to the effect that Consul General Ho Yow, the Chinese
Government's representative at this port, had pur
chased the mare Much Better 2:0"i for $2500, made an
offer of $12,500 for Iran Alto 2:12J and another of
$23,000 for McKinney 2:111-. There was not a particle
of truth in the story, but it has gone the rounds, and
will travel faster than the denial possibly can.

"Sixteen Hands High."

Since public opinion has fixed the ideal size for race
and road horses, and especially of breeding animals, at
15.2 to 16 hands, it is remarkable, indeed, how many
trotting bred animals have grown an inch or so since
they really "got their growth." While it is a fact
that light harness bred horses average much larger
and handsomer than they did a decade ago, it is re-
markable how handy it seems to come to many horse-
men to say of an animal that he is "sixteen hands and
a good looker," when in reality ofttimes said animal is
only about 15 2 and a very ordinary looker. Of course,
the average owuer can see more size and other good
qualities about his own horse than others can see, but
the task of getting a prospective buyer to view a horse
through the owner's eyes is a difficult one, and as few
buyers, indeed, can be fooled in the individuality of a
horse, it is always a losing game to any owner to mis-
represent a horse in order to get a prospective buyer
to come and look at him.

Really thi3 "sixteen-hand" habit is getting to be
about as bad as the "smoke nuisance" in Indianapolis.
Of late it is hard to locate a jack for sale — at a dis-
tance— that is not sixteen hands high! We have seen
two horsemen — trotting horsemen — who wanted a jack
for a special business purpose, wbo had traveled many
miles, one of them from Pennsylvania, to see a bunch
of jacks represented as "sixteen hands high," that
proved to be about two hands under that size. Now,
that jack dealer can sell no one a fourteen-hand
jack for a sixteen-hand jack, and what is the use of his
literally destroying his reputation and all chances of
business by making such representations.

The way to sell any animal, from a "coon-dog" to a
two-minute trotter, is to always have in reserve more
"coon-dog" or more trotter — in actual quality — to
show a prospective' buyer than you have told him
about in your correspondence. To show les9 than you
write is always to lose a sale. — Western Horseman.

The register of Morgan horses, now in process of
compilation for many years, must surely prove to be a
prodigious volume. The work is being edited by the
Hon. Joseph Battell of Middlebury, Vt., who some
years ago engaged N. A. Randall of the Western
Horseman to assist him, and now comes the announce-
ment that Walter T. Chester, compiler of Chester's
Trotting and Pacing Record, and for thirty years a
well known writer on harness racing and harness
horses on the staff of the Turf, WieldariA Farm, lias
given up newspaper work and gone to Middlel
where he will assist Mr. Battell in editing this great
historical Morgan work.

[March 15, 1902

IF SOME of the horses that are now in training at
San Jose fail to show the speed in their races this
summer that they crave evidence of possessing during
the winter it will not surprise those who know all the
facts connected with some wonderful eighths and quar-
ters that were shown at the garden city course a few
weeks ago. Among -^he horsemen who have wintered
at San Jose— Durfee. Bunch, Hellman, Gordon, Will-
iams, Barstow, Van Bokkelen and several more — there
is a variety of speed known as the '"menagerie burst''
that is a little ahead of anything that has ever been
shown on any other track as far as known. The
Norris Brothers' show is responsible for this new
feature in horse training and which may in the future
make an elephant or a camel a necessary part of every
first class training outfit. The show in question was
quartered for the winter at Agricultural Park at San
Jose with a herd of elephants, several camels, elk and
other animals that are unfamiliar to the majority of
track horses, and there was a reign of terror among
theequines during the whole time. Sometimes the
elephants would get to trumpeting in chorus and at
such times every horse stalled at the track would try
to jumr> over the door of his stall or through the roof.
At other times the horses being jogged on the track
would catch sight of a half dozen camels and there
would be a stampede that would turn the British mules
in South Africa green with envy. During the winter
there floated up to this office reports of fast eighths
and quarters made by trotters and pacers at
San Jose that seemed incredible, but now we under-
stand how they came to happen. One of the
trainers would take a horse out to work and as he
struck the head of the stretch and began driving, an
elephant would sound one of his loudest notes and the
horse would fairly fly. Durfee had Miss Jessie 2:13}
out one day and concluded he would drive her the last
quarter of a slow mile at about a 2:30 gait. He snapped
his watch as he passed the three-quarters and just
then one of the show's animal trainers came out from
behind a row of stalls with a big elk hitched to a cart
aud made a wild dash toward the track. Miss Jessie
saw him before Durfee did and let out for home. Dur-
fee had seen her strike a 2:04 gait in her work last
year, but had never seen any speed like this and he
let her go. He snapped his watch again at the wire
and then had all he could do to pull her up and get
hir back to her stall. After his son Vince had taken
her by the head and held her while three or four men
helped unhitch the mare and get a blanket en her,
Mr. Durfee looked at his watch. His eyes stuck out
about an inch and he slipped the watch back in his
pocket and came to San Francisco next day to have "t
fixed. He said he knew Miss Jessie was awful fast but
the time of that quarter was a little too quick for
anything but a McKinney.

Farmer Bunch had an experience with Dr. Frasse
2:12] one day that came near costing him a big lot of
money. He started to drive him a slow mile and the
boys coaxed the keeper of the elephants to jab that
big hook into two or three of them just as he started.
Dr. Frasse was fat as a hog and in no condition for fast
work at any distance, but he got to the half in 1:02
before Bunch could check him and had it not been for
the Farmer's great strength, it would have been
almost impossible to stop the son of Iran Alto, but he
finally got him quiet, and after getting him to a stand-
still, dismounted and unharnessed the black gelding
and led him back. When Bunch got his breath he
ejaculated: "I expect to win three or four thousand
dollars with Frasse this year, but, by gum, he'd a
knocked himself out if that durned elephant had
fetched another snor*. "

Mr. Barstow, owner of the handsome big stallion
Wilkes Direct 2:22; now called Nearest, has a green
three year old by his horse that he calls Alone. She
is a pacer and Barstow drove her one day when the
'■lions were a' roaring and the tigers a' lashing of their
tails." Barstow was very much interested in the fillv,
which is one of the fastest things in Santa Clara county,
but got a little excited over the noise made by the
animals, and drove the filly a fast eighth as he thought,
and after looking at his timepiece immediately had
her photographed. He sent the picture to this office
with the following written on the back: "Alone, by
Wilkes Direct, green three year old, showed an eighth
in seven seconds."

A few weeks after Mr. Barstow notified me that it
was a sixteenth instead of an eighth, but I am half in-
clined to think that he is afraid Alone will be favorite
in the pools when she starts if the story is not con-
tradicted.

The menagerie took its departure from San Jose,
however, three weeks ago, and all is tranquil at the

track there now. Farmer Bunch has induced Jim Rea
to negotiate for a couple of camels and an elephant,
however, and will take them on the circuit this year
as speed accelerators His idea is to keep the animals-
concealed so that none of the horses but his own can
see them, and just before a race give his own horse a
sight and a whiff of them. He says if Rea will get the
animals Iran Alto will beat Cresceus' time and Thomas
R. will trot in two minutes.

As was said in these columns two year s ago, and
repeated again last year about this time, the trotter
that can race three heats in 2:18 can win a fair sum on
the California circuit. McKenoa won 81557 last year
in California and the fastest heat he trotted was 2:17i.
Nora McKinney won $1405 and trotted a heat in 2:16},
but the majority of her heats were slower. What Is
It won over a thousand dollars and whi'e he got a
mark of 2:16}, won the most of his money in slower
time than 2:18. The heaviest winner on the circuit
that started in the green trotting classes was . homas
R. by Iran Alto. He got a mark of 2:15 but did not
beat 2:18 but a very few times. This year there will
be more meetings, more races aid larger purses, and a
horse will have many more opportunities to win than
he had last year. Three heats better than 2:18 will
win money in this State this season.

It is astonishing how those Palo Alto bred trotters
are showing up ovez*East. Every week there is refer-
ence made in our exchanges from over there of speed
shown and big prices paid for horses raised at the
California farm. The latest item is ol Lorette, a six
year old mare by Dexter Prince that Superintendent
Covey took to Cleveland as a three year old in 1899
and sold for $200. She is out of Loraneer (two year
old record 2:261) by Electioneer. Last week Mr. A. J.
Keating of New York went down to Kentucky and
paid Mr. J. L. Tarlton $2500 for Lorette and will use
her on the speedway and probably race her this sea-
son. Lorette is a very handsome brown mare with
two hind legs white nearly to hock and showed trial
quarters in 37 seconds as a three year old. She
showed a mile in 2:15] last year, but was not raced and
had no mark. There is a pretty good profit in buying
horses at $200 as three year olds and selling them in
less than three years for over six times that money.

While trainers are worrying about stall room being
at a premium at some of the training tracks it might
be well for them to remember that the once famous
Napa race track is again in prime condition for work-
ing horses over, and that the new lessee, Arthur
Brown of Napa, announces that he will keep it in the
best posiible shape from now on until the ^acing sea-
son of 1902 is over. The Napa track has so many
advantages that it is surprising horsemen have not
flocked to it ere this. Few places are as easily reached
from the city, the trip by boat being particularly con-
venient and inexpensive. There is no better track to
work horses on, the nature of the soil being such that
horses are very seldom "sored-up" or "knocked out''
even with the strongest kind of worn. There are
plenty of well built, commodious box stalls and the
rent for the same is very low. The best of hay and
grain are to be had at low prices, and in short it is an
ideal horse training track. I would suggest to the
trainers who are in doubt where to go, or are dis-
satisfied with their present location, that the Napa
track offers every inducement to them.

Every little while one hears of a trotter or pacer
that is "good goods" but is unfortunately owned by
some one who does not wish to race or is too deeply-
engaged in business to devote the time necessary to i*
I heard of a case of this kind the other day from a
friend who had recently made a trip to Salinas. He
tells me that Mr. William Vanderhurst of that place
owns a pacing mare by Diablo 2:09} that is capable
of putting in three heats in 2:15 or better yet is eligible
to the 2:25 class. She is a well bred one her dam bein<*
Salinas Maid by Junio, second dam Maris V.. by
Carr's Mambrioo, and third dam Jennie by Paul's
Abdallah. She will be six years old in May, is sound
and all right every way and is worth racing. Mr.
Vanderhurst is too busy a man to devote any time to
racing, and for that reason this daughter of Diablo
,will probably be unheard of in racing annals unless
some one gets possession of her that will place her on
the track. From what I am told, the mare, who is
but six years old is a rare good one, aud I hope some
one will get hold of her who will give her a chance to
get a place in Diablo's 2:10 list.

Here is a chance for a man who owns a trotter eligible
to the 2:25 c.ass to get rich without going to Klondike
or having a fortune left him. There is the sum of
$105,000 offered in purses and slakes for 2:25 trotters
on the Grand Circuit this year and a horse entered
clear through will only have to start once a week. All
the owner will have to do to win fifty per cent of that
money is to win all the races. It's easy, isD't it?

A Boston Man at Aptos.

APTOS, Cal., March 11, 1902
Editor Breeder & Sportsman:— I am out in
California for a visit from my old home in Boston,
Mass., and always being interested in horses wherever
I am, stopped over at Aptos, on my way from Los
• Angeles to Santa Cruz, to see my old time friend Sandy
Smith, who, I heard, was getting some 24 head of colts
ready for the sale at Cleveland for Mr. Spreckels,
whose ranch is located her- As I stepped off the train
here I noticed what a prettily situated little town it
was. On one side, about five minutes walk from the
station, rolls the Pacific ocean up on a beautiful beach;
on the other side are rolling hills covered with a carpet
of green grass, and just back of the hills are the mount,
ains covered with large redwood and pines. This is a
different picture than the East presents at this time.
Mr. Spreckels' ranch is only a short walk from the
station and I started out to find Sandy, who little ex-
pected to see me out here. I found him hard at work
with tho horses, but he took time to stop and shake
hands with that cordial welcome such as he always
gives his old friends. As he has a string of 24 to warm
up every day and is very conscientious about his work,
he asked me to get up in the stand and watch his pets
step around the half-mile track, which was in splendid
condition notwithstanding the heavy rains they have
had in this part of the country for the past month.
The track is surrounded by shady oaks and rolling
bills. I got up in the stand, took out my watch, ana
Sandy was soon out with a beautiful filly by Dexter
Prince, dam by Antovolo and her grandam own sister
to Crown Point 2:17]. My watch showed that she can
do the last eighth in 16] seconds. He took her over to
the stables and soon came out with another which was
ready for him when he reached the stables. Sandy
don't believe in wasting any time, in fact he has none
to waste and get through with the string each day.

The next one, as Sandy explained to me, was a black
mare by Dexter Prince, her dam Emma S., a sister
to the dam of Dione 2:07]. After going around the
track a couple of times she passed me at a two-minute
clip. This is a fioe gaited pacer, jet black, goes along
fine and needs no boots. Whoever gets her will get a
race mare and a good one.

He next brought a little chestnut filly, snorting like
a thoroughbred. She is by Cupid 2:18, dam Gracie S.
2:22, the dam of Diorie 2:07] and own sister to Lillie S.,
dam of Venus II. 2:11]. She is as sweet-gaited a little
pacer as anyone would wish to see. She was never
handled a day in her life until Sandy took hold of her
and she can step a quarter in 35 seconds.

Another one he d rove was a bay colt, own brother to
Venus II. 2:11] by Cupid 2:18, dam Lillie S , by Specu-
lation. After giving me this information in regard
to each horse, away he would go as though he found
more pleasure in this work than in anything else.
This colt is a pure gaited trotter, handled only by
Sandy and he can show a quarter in 40 seconds. He
had one more to show me before dinner and this was a
chestnut gelding by Dexter Prince, dam by Steinway.
This is a nicely gaited gelding and can step mighty
well. Sandy broke him himself. He is a good trotter
and who ever is fortunate enough to get him at the
sale in Cleveland, can show a fast gait with him. The
fresh crisp morning air seemed to put an extra amount
of go into the horses.

After dinner Sandy took me about the place on a
little tour of inspection, showing me Dexter Prince,
who looks like a two year old. He looks like a colt
for a horse that has been in the service as long as he
has. Ee also showed me Cupid, a beautiful bay with
a record of 2:18, and the colts. I must say that I have
never seen a nicer lot of colts anywhere. They are
all gentle as kittens, all fine gaited, sound as a dollar,
and they should bring top notch prices at the sale in
Cleveland if good attention and handling count for
anything. I might say in connection with this that
Mr. Keating told me once at Boston that he had left
Dione with Sandy at Portland, Maine, for three weeks
and she made Nico trot the race of his life. I got
there the day of the race and she was as good a mare
as ever in her life. So it goes to show that Sandy is
able to get a horse in good shape. I expect to leave
to-morrow morning for Santa Cruz and from there
will call at Palo Alto, and from there, at Sandy's re-
quest, I am coming up to see-you.

I exuect to be in California until the first of April,
after visiting the farms at Pleasanton and Cook's
ranch, getting back home in time to attend the sales
at Cleveland in May. With best wishes, I am.

Yours very truly. Jas. D. Wilson.

Frank P. Kenney, formerly business manager of the
Kentucky Stock Farm, has associated himself with
Ken Walker of Lexington and the firm will engage in
the horse sales business. Both gentlemen have a very
large acquaintance among horse breeders and owners
and will no doubt build up a good business in the terri-
tory they have chosen in which to hold sales.

Harness Horse Items From Portland.

Portland, Ore., March 2, 1902.

Arriving in the webfoot city to-day, I spent a very
pleasant Sunday afternoon looking- at the horses that
are at the Irvington track. I saw about 75 hoi*sea and
a number of weanlings.

I met Mr. Henry Hellman, of San Jose. Mr. Hellman
arrived on Saturday with his car of horses and every
horse in fine fix. Boodle 2:12*, the great son of Stranger
and Goldsmith Maid, looked like a king when led out.

Oro Guy, a grand looking big black stallion sired by
Oro Wilkes 2:11, dam Roseate by Guy "Wilkes, shows
his royal breeding in every particular and he will
surely make a great cross for the Altamont mares in
Oregon. Then I saw Myrtha Whips 2:10*. Myrtha
is looking fine, as is old Ned Thome 2:1 U, and the
trotter that beats him to the wire this year has a big
job ahead.

Alton B., the full brother to Chehalis, got a royal
reception on his return to Portland. He is a pro-
nounced favorite here, as his sire Altamont made horse
history in and around Portland. Alton B. willdo a good
stud business here, as will Boodle and Oro Guy

Mr. Hellman and his partner Mr. Simpson, will give
a race meeting in June and it is now a certainty that
it will be a good meeting and horsemen can be assured
of good purses and the coin after each race.

John Pender is here, and the premier stallion in
John's stable is Capt. Jones, the grand looking black
son of the champion McKinney. Mr. Pender showed
as fine a lot of colts by Capt. Jones as I ever saw by
any stallion. It is to be hoped that Mr Pender will
race Capt. Jones this year. Horsemen who know him
predict a record of 2:10 for Capt. Jones. A number o^
his colts can take standard records.

Chas. Screiber has four youngsters that any horse
fancier may well be pioud of. A black filly by the
great Chehalis 2:04}, dam Codocil by Administrator,
was led out and she is a counterpart of her great sire
in conformation and color, but in gait a perfect trctter.
A bay gelding by Chehalis, dam by Lemont; this
youngster is also a trotter and a good one. Then a
pacer by Del Norte that is said to be the fastest pacer
in Oregon; then a trotter by a son of Lemont.

Mr. Watson, the restauranter, has in Bryan a two
year old by Caution, dam by Lemont, one of the nicest
young horses I ever saw. He is a typical Electioneer
and is a fast trotter. His dam, Nancy by Lemont, is
one of the grandest mares I ever saw and Mr. Watson
surely has an elegant colt. His Ebony Wilkes gelding
Neo Wilkes is a fast green one; last fall he trotted a
mile in 2:26. Mr. Watson recently sold to eastern
parties a pair of bays by Lemont that can out show
any pair of roadsters ever raised in Oregon.

Chris Simpson has fifteen head of colts and aged
horses, including bis premier stallion Bonner N. B.
2:17. This horse was a game racer and is already a
sire. His first to be worked, Phil N., took a record of
2:17} and Mr. Simpson will race a few of his get this
year. Alta Norte(pacer) 2:16 by Del Norte: this mare
is billed for the 2:10 list this year. Mr. Simpson is a
progressive breeder. He has a band of gilt edge brood-
mares.

Mr. Bradford is handling the Screiber and Watson
horses.

West Waldstein has the Duke of Waldstein 2:234 by
Waldstein; this is a grand looking big chestnut stalliou
and should he patronized.

Louis Zimmerman has a sensation in a big brown
gelding with a tan nose. This horse was bought by
Mr. Donathan and he is said to be a 2:10 trotter. Tt is
a pleasure to know that Mr. Zimmerman has such a
fast prospect, and if good looks count this gilding
should be a 2:05 trotter.

McBriar is being prepared for the coming season.

George Misner is training for Mr. Zimmerman.

Messrs. Simpson and Hellman are the new lessees of
the Irvingtou track and it is their intention to give
first class racing and as every city on the North Pacific
Coast is going to give a meeting and good purses, Port,
land will be in the circuit. Messrs. Simpson and
Hellman cordially invite horsemen from everywhere.

Let's wish them a genuine success.
Yours truly.

C. A. Harrisox.

The North Pacific Circuit.

Secretary Leighton, of the Vancouver Jockey Club,
writes us that everything at present looks most favor-
able for a very successful circuit of racing up north
this year. Every association on the circuit is deter-
mined to do just what is right and fair to all, and the
new rules adopted governing jockeys and drivers will
be impartially and strictly enforced by all. As soon
as the purses and stakes are arranged a general
advertisement will be prepared, giving the purses and
conditions for the entire circuit, and will be inserted
in the columns of the Breeder and Sportsman.

How to Judge a Horse.

W. A. Dobson, who states that he did not gain his
horse sense from book, but from actual experience,
briefly sums up what he knows of the subject as fol-
lows: "A horse should not have a flat foot, nor a
small, narrow, contracted or shallow heel; neither
should be have an extremely long pastern or stand too
straight on his ankles. He should not be calf-kneed,
neither should he have a meaty leg. He should he
deep and full at the heart, short in the back, strong
over the loins, with long, well-sprung ribs He shouM
not be short and drooping in the hips, with the tail set
low and tucked tight to the body. The hips should
be long and smooth, sloping gradually to the root of
the tail, which should be set on middling high and
carried well up and away from the body. The hock
can have more imperfections" and not be unsound than
any other portion of the horse. It can be too crooked
or too straight, it can be box-jointed or coarse at the
spavin bone, or it can have a curby appearance and
other imperfections too numerous to mention and still
be sound, but every one of these imperfections detract
from the value of the horse and should be guarded
against very carefully by all breeders. I would advise
not to breed to any stallion who does not have a good
sized, clearly defined, well-shaped, clean, bony set of
hocks.

"When you are looking for a stallion to breed to, a
good rule to be governed by is never breed to a horse
that would not be a strictly first class gelding.

"Don't try to raise horses all of one size, so that you
can only suit one class of customers. The best selling
sizes for the American market are- the horses that
stand from 15.1 to 15.3 hands in height. The 16-hand
horse sells well, but not quite as readily as the smaller
sizes. The foreigners, however, like the 16-hand
horses. Whenever you get over 16 hands you are
getting your horse too tall. Any horse that is fine in
his class, with quality, substance and action, from 14
to 16 hands high, will find ready sale.

"Don't breed to a horse with any very marked de.
feet, as such animals are much more apt to reproduce
their weak points than their strong ones. Breed for
style, conformation, speed and action, as that is the
combination which has made the American horse
famous the world over. When it comes to the ques-
tion of action in horses it is time to quit talking and
go to looking. The only way a man can ever become
competent to judge of what constitutes strictly high
class action in a horse is by observation, and I would
advise every one, both young and old, who is inter-
ested in the production of high class horses to make it
a part of their business to attend every horse show
that he can conveniently reach. Get as close to the
ring side as possible, and study well the conformation,
style and action of every horse that win? a ribbon,
and while you are making a careful study of the win.
ners don't forget to study just as carefully the horses
that do not win, because then, and not until then, will
you be able to draw an intelligent comparison." — Ken-
tucky Stock Farm.

Busy Days at Palo Alto.

Mr. Frank W. Covey says that the Palo Alto two
year olds are the grandest lot ever bred at the farm.
He has seen them all from first to last, and his judg-
ment should be good, for he rarely makes a mistake.
This condition of excellence is natural, for the longer
a farm is conducted with the ability that has dis-
tinguished all the Palo Alto breeding operations, the
better chance there is for making successful nicks.
The services of James Thompson, the former trainer
for the Hon. L. U. Shippee, of Stockton, have been
engaged to handle these youngster and to get them
in shape for the Blue Ribbon Sale at Cleveland next
May, where all will go under the hammer.

There is a sister of Eleata (4) 2:08^, the biggest win-
ner of last year, and also a sister of Luciativa 2:1SX
and brother of Azmoor 2 : 1 3 A . The lot contains colts
and fillies from the dams of Ned Thome 2:irn Ex-
pressive (3) 2:12*, Rowellan (3) 2:15*, L. 96 2:16$, Ber-
nal 2:17, Mendocino (3) 2:194, Cecilian (2) 2:22, Ardetta
(3)2:25, Sweet Rose (1) 2:25*, Adabella (3) 2:25* and
from other equally desirable families. The entire crop
will be sold. It will be a notable dispersal, with more
than one "fortune winner" in the bunch, for many of
them are engaged in the big futurities, and when it
comes to early and extreme speed, Palo Alto stands
alone without a rival.

Producing the Orloff.

Krenovoi, where George J. Fuller has spent the last
three y ars as superintendent of the Russian training
school, and where the government stud is located, was
originally owned by Count Orloff, a Russian nobleman
of great wealth and influence, who lived constantly on
his estate and devoted bis time and talents to horse
breeding. He began by crossing black Danish mares
with gray Arab stailions and succeeded in producing a
horse called Barse, which was the foundation of the
Orloff horses. The likeness of this to Russia's famous
horse is now on the same bronze statue as his master
in the center of the grounds at Krenovoi, depicted as
drawing one ot the 'low wheeled carriages which are
still unchanged in style at the present day.

When Count Orloff died, this estate, which was only
a portion of the possession of the Orloff family, and
was said to contain some 200,000 acres of land, was left
to the government, which has continued to improve
and perfect the Orloff trotter. Krenovoi is situated in
the steppe country lying between the Volga and the
Don, not far from the home of the Don Cossacks. It
is a thriving town of some 6,000 inhabitants, many of
whom are farmers and have their divisions of land
from ten to fifteen acres and even twenty vests away
from their homes, and in seed time and harvest times
they camp out on the land, sleeping in the open fields
or in the carts and returning to town on Sunday and
feast days. It is marvelous what a Russian peasant
will go through as an ordinary event of his daily life
without a murmur. The stud at Krenovoi is under
the immediate direction of General Derfelden, to whose
wise and judicious management its present success is
largely due. The stud consists of 1,000 horses, only
part of which, however, are Orloffs. These Orloffs
are mostly of two colors, black and gray, the black
predominating. They have considerable action in
front and possess much dash and resolution with an
even disposition and considerable speed. It is difficult
to describe anything more enjoyable than driving over
the boundless steppes in a real Russian "troika"
drawn by three or four horses abreast, the middle
horse or horses going at a fast trot and the two outer
horses with their heads bent outward going at a hard
gallop, and keeping this up with extraordinary ease
for mile after mile. The driver, gaily bedecked in
peacock feathers and other finery, emits occasionally
Indian war whoops to encourage his charges on.

The two principal racing points in Russia are at St.
Petersburg and Moscow, and at each place they race
both summer and winter. The magnificence of the
racing plants at these two places is far ahead of any-
thing ever thought of in America. Most of the racing
is conducted on the Russian system. Under this sys-
tem the entries for a given race are started two at a
time on opposite sides of the track. The time of each
is taken and at the conclusion of the race the horse
having made the fastest time is declared the winner.
The races are largely attended, and every one present
bets, both the men and the women. Each year the
best of the horses at Krenovoi are sent to one of the
trainers at St. Petersburg and sold or raced under the
immediate charge of what is known as the St. Peters-
burg Club.

First Call for the Blue Ribbon.

The pacing stallion Bob Fitzsimmons 2:07J by Judge
Norval, was sold to Manitoba parties last week by
Butler Throssal of Sheffield, Iowa, for $5000. Pre-
lissa, the dam of this horse also produced Alpha W.
2:08, a full brother to Fitzsimmons. She is by The
Prelate 4035. Bob Fitzsimmons won S9000 in purses
last season and as he is but seven years old is still con-
sidered a good horse in his class.

The annual Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland, has been
set for the six days from May 12 to 17, and is a week
earlier than last year. I tending consignors will
please make a note of this.

At both our last sales, a number of most desirable
consignments had to be declined, simply because there
was no room for them. Only so many horses can be
disposed of at any one sale and when the limit is
reached, that settles it.

Hence the need of owners deciding in ample time on
what they propose selling. We urge all to communi-
cate with us now, so we may arrange for proper cata-
loguing and intelligent advertising. The sooner con-
signors furnish us with the necessary data, the better
able we are to do them ample justice in placing their
horses before the buying public. The market for first
class stock was never better than now, and delays are
dangerous. We already have the cream of a number
of representative breeding establishments, and we feel
confident our next sale will be the best we have ever
held in Cleveland.

Don't wait until the last miuute and don't be
among those that are left on the outside. Jump in
now and get a centre seat in the Blue Ribbon band
wagon.

Haywards Horse Show.

Sut for a day of heavy and frequent showers that
made the streets and roads sloppy and muddy, Hay-
wards would have entertained the biggest crowd of
people last Saturday ever seen withiu the precincts of
that pretty town in Alameda county. As it was, there
were a thousand or two who did not allow water and
mud to keep them at borne when a lot of fine horse-
flesh was to be displayed and they were well repaid for
venturing out. At least a hundred horses were
paraded and we defy any county in the United States
or any other country to make a better showing. Led
by as handsome a stallion as ever wore a bridle — Stam
B. 2:111 — the procession passed through the principal
streets of the town and each horse in turn was intro-
duced by Mr. Samuel Gamble who announced its breed-
ing and record, the place where located for this sea-
son, and whether or not for sale.

No prizes were given, but the spectators were per-
mitted to form their own judgment and pick their
own favorites. Nearly every horse whose name was
printed in the list of entries published in these col-
umns last week was in line, and the trotting bred ones
made a particularly fine showing. There were twenty-
four of the thirty-six original entries paraded. Stam
B. 2:11J was greatly admired. He is in the very pink
of stud condition and was voted one of the most beau-
tiful horses ever bred in California. Monterey 2:09',
driven to a light buggy by Mrs. P. J. Williams, wife of
the horse's owner, was another horse that caught the
eyes of the horsemen and the public. He is in fine
shape and while full of life and spirit showed such a
perfect disposition that he drew favorable comments
from all sides.

Welcome 2:10J and William Harold 2:13J, owned by
the Meek estate of Haywards, were two stallions that
showed well in harness. Welcome is a large horse with
style and handsome conformation while Harold is
smaller but all horse. There were several teams and
single roadsters by Welcome and Harold that were
much admired for their beauty and-fine action.

Educator, the black son of Director owned by Mr.
Henry of Haywards, made a fine showing in the
parade and his son, Ed Keil, was voted one of the
handsomest youngsters in the show.

Gossiper 2:14i|, the handsome son of Simmons, and
sire of several fast ones was driven to a cart. He has
the same jaunty appearance that he had when he was
known as one of the dandies of the circuit and looks
as if he could equal his mark again if trained.

Ed Kavanagh of Vallejo, sent his horse, Gaff Top-
sail 2:16, all the way from the navy yard town to be
shown and he lost nothing in comparison with the
others. Gaff Topsail is doing well in the stud and
promises to be a very successful sire.

Comet Wilkes 2:21 by Guy Wilkes, one of the favorite
Contra Costa county stallions, was in the line of march
and made a very handsome appearance. Among the
Btallions without records that were shown were Para-
mount by Altamont, Skylark by Comet Wilkes, War-
ren by Walker, Aleka by Chas. Derby, Dewey by
Altamont, Abdol by Grand Moor and Metz by Malta.
One of the features of the parade was the old mare
Cricket 2:10 by Steinway, the first mare to pace that
fast to high wheels. She is the dam of William Har-
old 2:13^ and two more in the list, and had at foot a
very handsome and stout built colt by Nutwood
Wilkes 2:16A that was greatly admired.

The display of roadsters, both single and teams, was
very fine. A pair of Welcomes belonging to the Meek
estate and a pair of Chas. Derbys owned by Geo. A.
Davis, of Pleasanton, were surrounded by a crowd
whenever they stopped.

No finer display of draft horses has ever been seen
at a fair in California. There were ten big handsome
stallions, Percherons, Shires and Cldyes, besides sev-
eral grade stallions.

The lilliputians were also in evidence and quite a
number of very pretty Shetlands were shown.

The only drawback to the show was the weather
and as this was beyond the control of the citizens who
inaugurated and managed Hay ward's first horse show
they cannot be charged with anything but praise for
their work. The affair was well managed throughout
and great credit is due each and every one of the gen-
tlemen who had the matter in charge. Next year
Haywards will repeat the show and if there is anything
like clear weather the town will be hardly large enough
to contain the crowd that will attend.

.Mi-. Hugh Vail of Santa Barbara, who advertised
for a jack in this paper recently, writes us to remove
the ad as he has secured a very fine one. Mr. Vail
states that, he can testify to the efficacy of the Breeder
is an advertising medium, for were he to try to answer
all theletters received in reply to the ad he should have
to hire a private secretary, and that he did not know
there were so many jacks west of the Rockies. Mr.
Vail inserted the ad" at the request of Mr. G. G. Rob-
bin- of Santa Barbara, who has leased Mr. Vail's
sta.lion Neil W. for the season. Mr. R. reports that
Noil W. and the jack will both be well patronized this
yetr.

Pacific District Board of Appeals.

Dr. B. J. Kendall Co., Enosburg Falls, Vt.,, Genllemen:— I saw
one of your books called "A Treatise on the Horse and his
Diseases." and I find it very good, which I must say also of your
Spavin Cure, of which I have used about four bottles and find it all
you recommend. I have been trying to get one of your books for
tome time and never could, so 1 thought I would take this course.
The one I saw was published in 1891: maybe you have one later
than that Awaiting the granting of this favor. I remain.

Yours respectfully, W- JABOB JAECKLE.

Major Daingerfield, manager of Castleton Stud, has
received a letter from Foxhall Keene, to the effect that
James R. Keene and trainer James Rowe are highly
satisfied with the two year olds by Ben Brush which
have just been shipped East. They are the first of
that noted race horses's produce to be sent to the
trainer's hands.

At the sale of broodmares from Palo Alto Stock
Farm, held in this city January 30th, Mr. S. Christen-
sen of the Palace Hotel purchased the mare Ororose
by Oro Wilkes 2:11, in foal to Mendocino. She was
sent b .ck to Palo Alto to await the arrival of the foal
and then to be again bred to the same horse. The
other day Mr. Christensen received the following
characteristic letter from James Thompson, the Palo
Alto Farm's head trainer, and known to California
horsemen as the Cicero of the trotting turf:

Dream Land, Sept. 10, 1905.

Dear Christensen: On the night of the 3d of
March, 1902, while enjoying a tired man's sleep, about
the hour of midnight (fifteen minutes past one), there
came a "tapping, gentle rapping at my chamber
door, " arousing me from deep slumber. The night-
watchman informed me that your mare Ororose had
just foaled a fine filly foal.

The next day after lunch I journeyed to the pad-
dock to take a good look at mother and foal, and after
observing all the strong points of the newly-born I
sat dr>wn under the shade of an old oak to enjoy a
cigar, and while there Morpheus embraced me, and
oh! what a dream! T broke your filly as a yearling.
You and I talked it over and we decided to work her
a quarter in 40 seconds, which she did handily. Then
we turned her out, wintered her nicely and the follow-
ing spring commenced to jog her. We decided to step
her a quarter in 35 seconds. You said she was entered
in the Stanford Stakes with 365 more, by all the lead-
ing sires in California. Then we gave her a short run
and the next spring commenced to work her in earn-
est. Chris, lean see the smile on jour face, just as
plain as yesterday, when she showed us a quarter in
31. | on August 23d. How you and I planned to keep it
quiet! Wedecided to start her in the Stanford Stakes
at Sacramento. Can I ever forget such a day? Great
crowd, great betting, your filly selling in the field — 17
starters. We laid her up the first two heats, and
when you walked over to where we were cooling out
great beads of perspiration stood on your face, all
your pockets filled with pool tickets, and the gentle-
man who came with you, how he pleaded for you to
go and hedge. He said he had been your counsellor
and had tried to educate you in breeding and training
of high-class families. "Now," said he, "you cannot
afford to lose, for your filly will lose a toe-weight, or
make a break, or run out of the gate, or some horse
will put his foot in your wheel." But, old boy, you
were game to the core. I never shall forget your in-
structions: "Go away fast, don't stop driving nor look
around until you reach the wire" — but you did look
pale when we were scoring. After the third score we
got the word. My heart was in my mouth until we
got around the first turn, and when we struck the
back stretch she was sailing in the lead. I didn't even
cluck to her until the head of the stretch. There I
simply tapped her with the whip, and say, didn't she
respond? She fairly flew to the wire! The people in
the grand stand arose in one mass, shouting themselves
hoarse. Every eye was on the judge's stand, waiting
for the announcement, while there was a little hesi-
tancy on the part of the judges. We found out after-
wards that Tim Crowley was anxious to fine me $200
for laying up the first two heats. The time was hung
out— 2:104/,. the rest distanced. My! Chris, didn't we
have friends! It was almost impossible to get near
the mare. You did not tell me how much you won,
but some of your friends said $40,000.

All at once I felt some velvety, loving touch on my
cheek, f nd such a fragrant breath — like a zephyr from
an unbounded field of carnations. I said: "Don't do
th.2t, Miss Britt, I am not Anderson the Klondyker. "
Presently a little nip on my nose and I awoke. Behold!
your baby colt had been licking my face. I got up on
my feet and with sweat dripping from my brow I
spoke to myself: "Oh! for a Gibson cocktail or a drink
of number six to quiet my throbbing nerves."
Yours sincerely,

Jas. Thompson.

A Good Spark.

Nine times out of ten the trouble with gas engines
is in the ignition. Where batteries are used they be-
come polarized and a weak spai k is the result. In
another part of this paper will be^seen the advertise-
ment of the autosparker manufactured by the Mot-
singer Device Manufacturing Company, which does
away with the use of batteries, gives a good spark at
any speed, is constant and positive. It is claimed that
it is better than a magnito and any other style of
dynamo for this purpose.

Caustic Balsam is Guaranteed.

said an old horseman at Haywards last Saturday dur-
ing the parade. On inquiry it was learned that the
horse was Metz, a grandson of Gibraltar owned by
William Teason of Haywards.

Julia M., a three year old filly by Zombro 2:11,
worked a mile last week over the Los Angeles track in
2:17J, and Walter Maben, her trainer, says she will
trot in 2:15 in April. Many of the young Zombros are
showing great speed at Los Angeles.

It i3 now authoritatively announced that Mr. Law-
son paid the Messrs. Hamlin of Village Farm $50,000
for Dare Devil 2:09, a few weeks since. Not since the
$41,000 paid for S tarn bout 2:07 J, by E. H. Harriman,
has a stallion sold for so much money.

Nutwood is a wonderful sire. He has 172 standard
performers, his daughters have produced 187 in 2:30
and 135 of his sons are producers, a greater number of
producing sons that have been sired by any horse
except Hambletonian 10, who is represented by 154.

Major P. P. Johnston, president of the National
Trotting Association, with a party of friends has gone
to Florida, where he will spend a couple of months
cruising along the coast. Major Johnston is the owner
of some fine cocoanut groves on the Gulf ot Mexico.

Golden Gate Park Driving Club will hold a race
meeting May 30th, at which four races will be given
for club members. The O'Kane Challenge Trophy
will be again contested for at this meeting. If possible
the Emeryville track will be secured for the meeting.

Letter B. 2:17?. by Ward B., son of Eros, was dis-
covered on the Dunne ranch near Salinas last week with
a broken leg. A veterinary set the limb and it is
thought the mare can be saved for breeding purposes.
Letter B.s dam, Brown Irish, was by that good thor-
oughbred stallion Judge McKinstry.

When Boralma was matched against The Abbot
2:03} and Lord Derby 2:013.!, it was decided to open bids
from track managers, to be opened March 1st. The
two matches were to be trotted over the track or
tracks whose management offered the best ind ucements.
So far as has been learned, A. J. Welch, of the Charter
Oak and Oakley tracks at Hartford and Cincinnati was
the only important bidder. Mr. Welch, it is stated,
has offered-sixty per cent of the gate and grand stand
receipts and leaves the choice of tracks to the owners.

Brushing on the speedway in Golden Gate Park will
soon again be the thing on Saturday afternoons and
Sundays. Since the rains set in a few weeks ago the
speedway has been kept closed, but is now open once
more.

Zombro had been bred to fourteen mares at Los
Angeles this year up~-to last Sunday and mares are
being booked to him every day. What suit*) his
owner, Geo. Beckers, more than anything else is that
the mares already bred and booked are the best bred
lot Zombro has ever been mated with.

Mr. Parks of this city will have bis pacer Imp 2:19J
by Diablo trained again this year. James Berryman
will probably take the horse in charge two or three
weeks hence and believes he will have a good one for
the 2:20 and faster classes. Imp is over fifty pounds
heavier than he ever weighed heretofore.

Cherry Lass 2:24], one of the prospects for the bier
pacing stakes this year is agrandaughter of the famous
old mare Lady Bunker, dam of Guy Wilkes 2:15J.
The dam of Cherry Lass is Welcome Bunker by Mam-
brino King.

M. Henry and Geo. Gray were the wheel horses of
the Haywards Horse Show and much of the success
attained is due to their efforts. They were right up in
the collar from start to finish and kept the traces taut
all the time.

Monroe Salisbury bought a big brown gelding by
Chas. Derby 2:20 the other day that be thinks may be
a second Azote. He is six years old, over 16 hands
high, a square trotter, but has never been trained a
day in his life.

A meeting of representatives from the agricultural
districts in the northern part of the State are to meet
in Marysville next week to arrange dates for a north-
ern circuit. It is expected a circuit of five or six weeks
can be arranged.

John Finnell of Napa, went to Salinas last week and
purchased of J. B. Iverson a fine looking three year
old grade Clyde stallion and of Hon. Jesse D. Carr two
three year old shire stallions for shipment' to his stock
farm in Tehama county.

Buffalo will give one of the big meetings on the Grand
Circuit. Six of its big early closing purses are adver-
tised in the Breeder and Sportsman, to close one
week from next Monday. If you are going East, don't
fail to get off at Buffalo.

Ed Lafferty's four year old stallion by Silver Bow
out of Grace (the dam of Dadaelion 2:11, Creole 2:15
and Eagle 2:194) by Buccaneer, is one of the most
admired horses at Pleasanton. Mr. Lafferty is inclined
not to race him this year as he is still growing, and
believes he will have a great horse in him as a five
year old.

A good sulky will be needed when the horses begin
moving fast and the McMurray is one of the best made.
Ask Kenney, tho bikeman, about them. He is agent
for this make of sulkies, carts and speed wagons and
is selling tbem at lower prices than any vehicles of
equal quality that are made. In many respects the
McMurray vehicles lead the world.

Joe Gohagan of Toledo, Ohio, owner of the famous
trotting stallion Galbetor 2:1 U by Galvin (son of Gam-
betta Wilkes), a few days ago refused an offer of
$15,000 for the horse. The prospective purchaser was
H. M. Hanna of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Hanna is a
member of the Cleveland Driving Club, and wanted
Galbetor for the matinee races in that city.

Charley Doble, one of the younger brothers of Budd
Doble, and the man who so successfully campainged
Lord Vincent 2:08^ a few years ago, has leased the
track at Elmira, N. Y., and will train a stable of horses
there this year. In company with others he will also
give a race meeting on the nJmira track in connection
with the Hudson and Mohawk Valley circuit.

Mr. Juan Gallegos of Mission San Jose will probably
enter his black pacing mare by Direct in several of the
purses given for pacers of the slow classes on the
Grand Circuit. The mare has no record, but has
worked several heats better than 2:15. She will be
trained and driven by Mr. Gallegos' son, and it will be
his first experience in the sulky. May good luck and
speed attend him.

By way of encouraging other breeder o select
pretty and appropriate names for their trotters, Thos.
W. Lawson has offered five prizes, amounting to $500,
to the owners of the horses registered this year who
choose the best names for them. He is to be the sole
judge. Mr. Lawson says combination names sugges-
tive of parentage will be given the preference. The
competition closes January 3, 1903.

James Thompson, who is training about 42 two
year olds at Palo Alto Stock Farm for the Cleveland
sale in May, says the most remarkable thing in his
experience is the fact that not one of the youngsters
shows an inclination to pace — all being square trotters.
This is evidence that Senator Stanford laid the foun-
dations of his great farm wisely and that the objects
he sought for are being obtained. He started out to
breed trotters and succeeded.

Mr. McCleery, an English gentleman who, when in
California a year or so ago, secured several trotting
bred horses and shipped them to his home for use as
road and park horses, took among others the trotting
horse Arrow 2:14 by Silver Bow 2:16. In a recent let-
ter to a friend in this city he states that Arrow is one
of the best high steppers owned in the district where
he lives and attracts great attention when driven on
the street or in the parks.

Two weeks from to-day the Fred Talbot place, near
San Leandro, is to be sold by auction to the highest
bidder together with all the horses, Jersey cows, Shet-
land ponies, furniture, wagons, buggies, carts, harness
and in short everything- on this magnificent farm is to
go. There are a number of standard bred horses to
be sold and there is a reserve price on nothing. Mr.
Talbot wishes to sell everything as he is too busy to
devote any attention to the handsome property. See
advertisement in this issue.

Lewis A. Dougherty, whose hay and grain commission
office is located at 26 Montgomery street, is making a
specialty of keeping on hand for shipment to Hawaii,
Manila and all foreign ports a larg" supply of choice
hay in compressed bales. In shipping hay hulk is a
very great consideration as freight bills are large, and
it is only the very choicest article that can be exported
with profit. Mr. Dougherty has a big supply of choice
compressed hay now at his warehouse 203 Berry
street, and can ship any quantity on short notice.

For some little time past the \dams and American
Express Cos. have been very good buyers of horses
of their kinds in the Chicago market says the /■'.
Gazt tte. It is told that both of these concei ns are lay-
ing in an extra stock whenever they Can get what 3Uit9
them out of a load for the reason that the mam
who have charge of the ly depart mi

both companies believe that there is irking to be a
regular famine of such horses, and they would
get them when they are to be had, and not be put to
the expense of getting different rigs at some future
time, when they cannot get hi :h and

fast enough to do the work as it is now organized.

Loagstreet and the "Colt Nick."

m

The articles on scientific iDbreeding which W. H'
Rowe is contributing to the New York Telegraph, have
been widely read by thoroughbred breeders and have
caused much study of this interesting problem. The
following is Mr. Eowe's latest contribution to the
series:

One of the most interesting and important features
of the present turf era is the increased attention which
is being paid to scientific breeding. The discoveries
in this realm of the thoroughbred industry have been
especially numerous and valuable during the past
decade. There may be something of a diversity in
present opinions as to which of these discoveries is of
really the most value and importance, but I think that
a majority favor the Figure Guide's maxim for the pro-
duction of race horses, namely, returning to -a stallion
the best strains of his dam.

It should be borne in mind that the advocates of
this principle are not to be construed as claiming for
it an invariable operation. The breeding problem is
obviously dependent upon many operations of nature.
These considerations may possessa fixed and invariable
principle or foundation, but it is beyond argument that
this fixed and invariable basis (if one really exists) has
never been discovered. The most that we have accom-
plished is a deduction from the evidence as witnessed
in the greatest percentage of cases. Here we reach
our foundation for the Figure Guide's principle of
returning to a stallion the best strains of his dam, in
order that he may sire great colts.

I placed particular stress upon the operation of this
principle when the pedigrees of Conroy and Commando
were under discussion in previous articles of this series.
I now turn to another of America's classic three year
olds of 1901, and claim The Parader (winner of the
Withers, Realization, etc.,) as a very conspicuous ex-
ponent of the Figure Guide's "colt's nick" to which I
have just referred.

The Parader's sire, Longstreet, is by Longfellow out
of Semper Idem, she by imp. Glen Athol out of Sem-
per Vive, she by Waverly out of Semper Felix, she by
imp. Phjeaton out of Crucifix, she by Lexington out
of Lightstone, she by imp. Glencoe out of Levity.

Let us now note the strains of blood in the various
sires whose names occur in the pedigree of Semper
Idem.

Glen Athol was by Blair Athol out of Greta. Blair
Athol was by Stockwell out of Blink" Bonny, she by
•Melbourne out of Queen Mary. Greta was by Volti-
geur out of Mountain Flower, she by Ithuriel, son of
Touchstone.

Waverly was by imp. Australian, he by West Aus-
tralian, son of Melbourne. Imp. PhEeton was by King
Tom out of Merry Sunshine, she by Storm (son of
Touchstone) out of a daughter of Falstaff, he by
Touchstone. King Tom and Stockwell (the latter
ment oned in connection with Blair Athol) were each
out of Pocahontas, she by imp. Glencoe, sire of
Lightsom.

Let us now examine the pedigree of Pretense, from
whom Longstreet sired The Parader. Pretense is by
Plenipo out of Boulotte.

Plenipo was by imp. Bonnie Scotland out of Dora,
she by imp. Australian out of Lindora by Lexington.
Boulotte was by imp. King Ernest out of Ponch, she
by Harry Bassett (son of Lexington) out of imp.
Wombat by West Australian.

Names which have already occurred in Longstreet's
dam are plainly to be seen in Pretense's bloodlines as
thus briefly stated, but we find even more returns upon
dipping a bit deeper. Bonnie Scotlan. was out of
Queen Mary, thus returning Glen Athol's possession
of that invaluable blood. Imp. King Ernest was by
King Tom out of Ernestine by Touchstone.

All of these individuals which I have been quoting
were absolutely unrepresented in the pedigree of Long-
street's sire, Longfellow, and so it is all the more evi-
dent that The Parader illustrates the "colt nick" of
affinities which were returned to his sire's dam.

Perhaps I can illustrate this with considerably more

clearness by giving an outline of the principal strains

in the pedigree of Semper Idem, dam of Longstreet:

f Stockwell, son of Pocahontas, she by Glencoe.
1 Blink Bonny by Melbourne out of Queen Mary

Voltigeur.
I Touchstone.

Australian by West Australian, son of Melbourne

Weatherbit

King Tom, son of Pocahontas, she by Gloncoe.

Touchstone (twice).
Lexington.
LGlencos, sire of Lightsome.

Loigstreet's possession of all these strains, as I
have said, is practically confined to his dam, Semper
Iderr , and the great strength of the "colt nick" which

a; urnished by Pretense will easily be recognized in

the following list of her eight grandparents as found
m the third remove of her tabulated pedigree:

f la go.
£, I Queen Mary.

T.

£ | Australian, by West Australian, son of Melbourne.

a J Lindora by Lexiogton-

r< : King Tom, son of Pocahontas.

3 Ernestine, son of Touchstone.

c' Harry Bassett by Lexington.
(.Wombat by West Australian.

I feel that no one will now question the propriety of
quoting The Parader as an elegant illustration of the
"colt nick.'' lean go even farther in the matter,
however, for the stud success of Longstreet himself is
on precisely the same basis. One of the best colts in
earlier days was Lothario, winner of the classic Cham-
pagne Stakes as a two year old and the Carlton at
three.

Lothario's dam, Brunette, was by imp. Bonnie Scot-
land, out of Variella, she by Vandal, son of Glencoe.
We have already found Bonnie Scotland to be the sire
of Plenipo, who in turn sired The Parader's dam. The
Queen Mary blood of Longstreet's dam was, therefore •
returned one generation closer in Lothario, while the
Glencoe was two generations closer. Lothario's strain
of Vandal was also very important, for Vandal was
himself a half-brother to Levity, the sixth dam of
Longstreet. And then, more than this, the fourth
dam of Levity and Vandal was also the third dam of
Lexington.

Longstreet's last crop of winners offer equally inteiS
esting and important evidence in favor of the "colt
nick." Four two year old winners were credited to
Longstreet in 1901, of which no less than three were
out of mares by imp. Great Tom, he by King Tomj
out of a daughter of Voltigeur. This juvenile trio
comprised Jack Demund, Hans Wagfaer and Easy
Street, of whom Jack Demund and Hans Wagner
claimed daughters of imp. Bonnie Scotland as gran-
dams All three colts were from great-grandams who
possessed a close strain of Lexington. Thus we find
that 75 per cent of Longstreet's winning two year olds
of 1901 were from mares who systematically returned
his dam's best strains, practically on the lines as found
in The Parader and Lothario.

The fourth winner, Hunter Raine, is out of a
daughter of imp. Charaxus, he by Distin, out of
Sappho. This gives a "colt nick" return, although
not so strong, for Distin was by Trumpeter, he by
Orlando, son of Touchstone, while Sapphire was out
of a daughter of Voltaire. Semper Idem's pedigree,
as outlined above possessed a line of Voltaire through
his son, Voltigeur, in addition to three lines of Touch-
stone. Hunter Raine's grandam was out of War
Song, she by War Dance, son of Lexington, which
constitutes another return.

The subject needs little summing up, for I feel cer-
tain that the operation of scientific inbreeding in the
stud career of Longstreet has been demonstrated be-
yond all gainsaying. The percentage of results the
world over is also indicative of the same teaching, aDd
I trust that the foregoing analyses— of which The
Parader is treated with the greatest degree of thor.
oughness — merit the most careful study and considera-
tion by all participants in the breeding industry.

Hidalgo's Gossip.

SPECIAL CORRBSPOXDESCE.

LOS ANGELES, March 9th.

And so the California colt beat the stout stranger
from the Blue Grass region, High Chancellor. I did
not think it probable even at the difference in weights,
for the Odd Fellow's son had shown himself a colt of
undeniable class, and I had always looked for his sire,
whom I consider the best bred Matchem horse in
America, to beget one real topsawyer. Well, wait till
they meet at even weights and then, if the son of
Golden Garter beats High Chancellor, I shall be ready
to admit the maize. Eight pounds is a difference on
these muddy midwinter tracks, and, counting in her
sex allowance, the Schreiber filly, Sylvia Talbot, was
likewise giving the winner the same concession. Mr.
L. V. Bell, owner of the Suburban winner, Alcedo,
has given a handsome piece of plate to the winner, a
custom inaugurated by Col. D. M. Burns eleven years
ago, when Hot-pur broke the record at one and three-
quarter miles. I like that fashion of giving trophies
It recalls the good old days when racing had a dash of
sentiment in it and had not been reduced down to a
cold-blooded gambling proposition.

My good friend, Mr. J. N. Camden, Jr., of the beau-
tiful Hartland farm at Versailles, Ky., has lost a splen-
did horse in imported Tarbolton. who received an
injury to his head while being landed from the steam-
ship at New York about .three weeks ago and died
from an abscess which formed on his brain. He had
the sense of a philosopher and the courage of a Spar-
tan king, or he would not have lasted as long as he
did. I saw him several times while in England last

year and was delighted when I heard that the young
Kentucky millionaire had brought him over as suc-
cessor to that grand old stallion, Esher, who "should
have died hereafter. " Of course, Mr. Camden is a
very rich man and does not feel the pecuniary loss,
but horses like Tarbolton are not picked up every
day, and coming within sixty days after the unex-
pected death of sturdy old Esher, the blow seems a
hard one. His other stallion, Mazagan, purchased by
him at the same time, is safely installed in his new
quarters alongside of Handsome, now the property
of Dr. J. D. Neet, but at one time owned by Mr.
"Granger" Jones of Oregon.

I have received a letter from a friend in New York
who tells me he has been spending a few days up in
Orange county, not far from where Goldsmith Maid
first saw the light. While there he visited the farm
of Mr. R. McE. Potter and saw an old California fav-
orite, Flambeau, once the hope and pride of Palo Alto.
The old hero is looking superbly and his yearlings, the
eldest of his get since he went East, are perfect equine
pictures. Flambeau was a better horse than he was
ever credited for, because his get were never treated
correctly, Henry Walsh used to stuff them and pamper
them till they looked like prize bullocks at a cattle
show. They were sold in December and put to work
at once, to be raced in February. The consequence
was that dozens of them were knocked to pieces, that
should have been merely broken and reserved for
racing engagements at three years old. I know that
Crescendo was the best two year old that ever went
East from this State, so good that I never expect to
own his equal; and Mr. Spreckels' colt Ravelston was
not very far behind him in racing ability and not at
all in looks. My prediction is that Mr. Potter will
raise from Flambeau a smaller but more serviceable
ciass of horses than he got at Palo Alto; and as the
forcing process is wholly ignored at Pequest, they will
acquire a natural growth and be less difficult to train
than were his progeny in California. The fifth dam of
Flambeau was that great mare Queen of Trump6 by
Velocipede, who won the Oaks and St. Leger of 1835,
completely smothering all the best horses of her day.
Mark my words, if Flambeau lives two years longer,
you will hear of another Crescendo.

Mr. Otto Zahn has purchased and brought here a
very good looking son of imported St. Blaise, called
Taranto, his dam being the imported mare Tarantula
by Galopin. Here is a chance for Mr. Baldwin to get
out of the rut into which he has fallen by sticking to
the male line of Lexington, after every intelligent
breeder in America had cast it aside as worthless. A
good many of the Baldwin mares have Touchstone
crosses in them and Taranto is a logical mate for
them. But whether the master of Santa Anita will
avail himself of this opportunity, is quite another
proposition. He has had the Emperor of Norfolk in
the stud now nearly thirteen years, during which
time he has gotten just two horses of what you might
call stake form— Rey del Carreras and Cruzados, the
former now being called Americus. I saw him in Eng-
land last summer, racing in the colors of Richard
Croker, and while he is sound as a cobnut and retains
all his old time speed, he is a bad actor at the post and
rarely gets off with the bunch. Mr. Baldwin might
better try Taranto with a few of his older mares, for
while the son of St. Blaise is as yet untried, I believe
that an untried stallion is always betttr than one that
has been tried and found wanting.

Mr. Boots should certainly send some of his Brutus
mares — I mean those with a, Hercules cross in them to
Mr. Spreckels' imported horse Marius, as he will re-
turn to them the best blood in his dam, namely the
Daughter of Toscar by Bay Middleton. When I saw
old Hercules at Mr. Shunnay's place at Mountain
View in 1862, I certaiDly thought him the handsomest
big horse I had ever seen, for I had not then been to
Australia, nor seen the mighty Abercorn. Hercules
was over sixteen hands high and as active as a polo
pony. I shall never forget his light and springy walk
nor the graceful poise of his intelligent head. It
should not be forgotten, either, that he was the sire
of Bob O'Hanlon's grand race mare Alpha, that beat
Joe Daniels, Nell Flaherty and Osceola at the State
Fair of 1874, in the fastest race run on this Coast up
to that time. She was afterwards sold to Governor
Stanford who tried to breed trotting horses from her.
Her dam, Waxy, was the grandam of Sunol 2:08} to a
high-wheeled sulky, by the same token. Hercules
got also a big gelding called Gallinipper that I saw in
a race at six heats at Carson City in 1867. He was
out of Miami, the pretty little bay mare (sister to
Owen Dale, by the way) that laid the foundation of
Mr. Boots' Elmwood stud from which have already
come so many winners. Hidalgo.

Up to the close of last week Green B. Morris' stable
was the heaviest winner at the Oakland track, having
over twenty-five thousand dollars to its credit.

SADDLE NOTES.

Banastar has the top weight in the Metropolitan
handicap having been allotted 127 pounds by W. S.
Vosburgh, the official handicapper. Watercolor, Mr.
Haggin's great colt is next with 126 pounds, three
pounds more than Blues, w' o is to carry 123. In
almost every case the Metropolitan weights are virtu-
ally the same as those in the Gravesend and Sheeps-
head Bay events.

The Bell Stakes, the first race of tho year for two
year olds at five furlongs, was won at Oakland last
Saturday by Artvis, a son of Golden Garter that is
owned by Green B. Morris. The cup given to the
winner by Mr. L. V. Bell is one of the most beautiful
pieces of plate that ha3 been run for in California for a
long time, and is valued at $500. Artvis was ridden
by Jockey O'Connor, who gave the colt a splendid

ride.

In the Circuit Court at Louisville, Ky., February 22d
Judge Fields, in sustaining the demurrer of the New
Louisville Jockey Club to an ameaded petition of T.
P. Hayes, the turfman, in his suit for $50,000 damages
on account of the refusal of the club to receive his
entries at.the race meeting last spring held that the
jockey club is not a public association, and that it has
the I'ight to do business or refuse to do business with
any person whomsoever it chooses. This practically
ends the suit, as Judge Field has already sustained a
demurrer to the original petition.

Betting on the Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps
appears to have been decidedly lively of late, judging
from the revised list of prices just sent out. For the
Brooklyn Blues still remains favorite at 8 to I, with 12
to 1 against Banastar, Alcedo and Bonniberl. A horse
that has been pretty widely played since the first
quotations appeared is W. M. Hayes' Monograph,
backed down from 100 to 1, to 30 to 1. J. G. Follans-
bee's Roehampton has been played down from 20 to 1
to 15 to 1, and is still at a false price, it is thought.
Other cuts in prices are Irritable, from 75 to 50 to 1;
Lady Schorr, the same; His Eminence, Toddy and
Lanceman, each from 40 to 30 to 1; Gulden, 75 to 60 to
1; The Regent, 50 to 30 to 1; Petra II. and Flora Po-
mona, each from 150 to 100 to 1. Hernando has gone
up from 15 to 20 to 1, while it is now possible to secure
60 to 1 against All Gold. For the Suburban, Water-
color is the choice at the very liberal odds of 8 to 1,
while Blues and Gold Heels are held at twelves. Bon-
nibert, Herbert, Advance Guard and Heno come next
in favor, each at 15 to 1, while 20 to 1 can be secured
against Banastar, Alcedo and Roehampton. For the
American Derby, Abe Frank, McChesney and Runnels
are equal favorites at 10 to 1, with Cruzados, Hcno
and Endurance by Right at 15 to 1.

Dates for Brighton Beach.

The following letter from President Campau of the
Grand Circuit to Secretary McCully of the New York
Association, explains itself:

Detroit, Mich., March 1, 1902.

Mr. C. A. McCully, Sec'y., 215 Montague street,
Brooklyn, N. Y. Dear Sir: On my return to the city,
I found a letter from the Secretary of the Glens Falls,
New York, Association notifying me of the surrender
to the New York Trotting Association of their dates,
August 11th to 16, 1902, in the Grand Circuit. At the
annual meeting of the Stewards, held in this city
January 28th, £ was authorized to assign those dates
to the New York Trotting Association on receipt Of
notice of surrender of the week of the Glens Falls
Association. I therefore take pleasure in notifying
you that those dates have been assigned to your asso-
ciation, and on behalf of the members of the Grand
Circuit bid you welcome and extend our best wishes
for a most successful meeting. Very truly yours,

D. J. Campau,
President Grand Circuit.

No Change in Fasig-Tipton Sale.

Editor B. & S. — It is probably due to the large
number of horsemen in this country, Canada and
Europe, who have had business dealings with Fasig-
Tipton Co., many of whom were friends of the late
William B. Fasig, to take this method of publicly in-
forming them that there has been no change in the
working force of the firm.

The business will continue to be conducted under the
leadership of Mr. E. A. Tipton on the same broad and
liberal lines which were mapped out by its deceased
senior member, and which has brought it such an emi-
nent degree of success.

In the future we shall endeavor to render our patrons
even better service than in the past, if that be possible?
and exert ourselves to make this sales firm an enduring
monument to the business ability and integrity of its
lamented founder. Fasig-Tipton Co.

The Bull Pup Brand.

'Why should we approve of measures thataresolely
for the benefit of posterity," said the impassioned
Irish member, "for let me ask you, what has posterity
ever done for usf" Trotting horses fare belter, for it
is their posteri .y that rescues their names from
oblivion and makes them famous. All the celebrated
sires and dams owe their fame to the doings of their
descendants. The California mare Jennie is an instance
in point. She has no distinguished line of known an-
cestry, but when it comes to extreme speed, there are
few that class with her. She is the dam of Hulda
2:081 and two others in the list. She had three
daughters by Speculation, son of Hambletonian and balf
brother of Whipple's Hambletonian, and all were high
class. Grade S 2:22 is the dam of Dione 2:07}. Lillio
S. is dam of Venus 2nd 2:11} and Emma S. is dam of
Psyche 2:16}. Half of the Spreckels Farm consign-
ment to the Blue Ribbon Sale at Cleveland next May
are members of this family, sired by Dexter Prince
and Cupid 2:18. All of the foals of these three mares
that are three year olds and over will be at the sale
and they are choice goods, having style and beauty as
well as action and speed.

It is a singular fact that while there are 136 trotters
in the 2:10 list, only three of the dams have daughters
that produced a 2:10 trotter. These are: First, Fleet-
wing, dam of Stamboul 2:07A and of Lady Mackay, dam
of Oakland Baron 2:09}: second, Kentucky Central, dam
of Kentucky Union 2:07} and Sylvan Maid, the dam of
Onward Silver 2:08: and third, this mare Jennie, dam
of Hulda 2:08J and Gracie S. 2:22, the dam of Dione
2:07}. This shows the class .to which Jennie belongs
as a producer and reproducer of extreme trotting
speed. Little is known of her ancestry. She was
sired by Bull Pup, believed to be a son of St. Lawrence,
similar to the strain in the dam of Directum 2:05}
If so, the Bull Pup brand of broodmare blood is al
right.

A Bit of History.

It was just five years ago that there was a very sen-
sational and well remembered race trotted at the
Grand Circuit meeting held at Columbus, O., in which
owing to a decision of the judges in declaring a heat
won by Oakland Baron 2:09} "no heat," that horse,
who had previously won two heats of the race, was
immediately withdrawn by his owner, the late Colonel
R. G Stoner. This was done in defiance of the judges,
who thereupon expelled Colonel Stoner. which action
caused no small amount of comment. The race was
continued without Oakland Baron and was eventually
woo by the black gelding Mosul, ann it was mauy a
day ere discussion over it ceased. Last month, when
the Penn Valley Farm management consigned Oak-
land Baron to the New York sale, both he and Mosul
met again, each with a record of 2:09}, made in the
above race, and were sold at auction. Oakland Baron
brought 815,700, as is well known, and Mosul found a
new owner only willing to risk $300 on him. Both are
the same age, 10 years, but Mosul is now practically a
broken down and outclassed gelding, while Oakland
Baron is a sire of rising fame and ultra-fashionable
breeding. The incident, as a whole, forcibly illustrates
how curiously "time doth revenge.-'

Not a Crank.

The Sale of Dan Patch.

"Columbus," who edits the "Western Department'
of the JVesteni Horseman, and can corneas near hitting
the nail on the head as any writer on harness horse
matters in the country, has the following to say on
the question of laying up heats:

"The writer has always been opposed to laying up
heats for the purpose of working the bookmakers or
patrons of the bookmakers, but we are not enough of
a crank to imagine that every driver who rests a tired
horse is doing so for illegitimate purposes. And
furthermore, wedonotintend offering advice to owners
and drivers that we would, not act upon if placed in
their position. The man who breeds, develops and
pays entrance money on a trotting or pacing horse
should be granted the privilege of racing his horse
according to his own methods. Such men are not
robbers, outlaws, etc., and they are far more reliable
and honest than the class of men who play the races
for the money there is in it. So far as our observation
has gone, the man that "pays tho freight" generally
knows how to race his horse better than anyone else;
he knows just how much punishment he will stand;
how many heats he can go when the miles are trotted
right at his limit, and he also knows when to rest the
horse. Few horses in this Western country can go
every one of four or five hard heats without showing
signs of fatigue. When a good horse has tried to win
and cannot, it is folly to punish both horse and driver
at the suggestion of some man who has bet a dollar;
yet such things occur altogether too frequently."

Colusa Will Hold a Fair.

Mr. E. C. Peart, one of the leading merchants of
Colusa county and an enthusiastic horse breeder of
harness horses, was in the city last week and informed
us that Colusa will hold a fair this year aDd desires to
claim the dates of July 22d to 2fith inclusive for its
meeting.

The Colusa directors are trying to get several of the
northern counties to join with them and form a
northern district, such as was arranged two years ago,
except they would like to get Shasta county added to
the circuit.

The largest purse at Colusa will be $500. which is not
a small purse by any means -as outside of the two
main circuits over East, very few associations there
give more than that amount for a race.

The Colusa association has a new secretary, Mr.
J. W. Scoggins, the' former secretary, Mr. Wright,
having resigned on account of being absent from the
county the greater part of the time.

As soon as the directors can canvass the situation
a little more thoroughly they will announce a program
of harness races for the fair this year.

Acting for M. E. Sturges, a New York capitalist.
M. E. McHenry, the famous reinsman, has bought the
great young pacer, Dan Patch 2:041, from D. A. Mftss-
ner, of Oxford, Ind. The price, which was $20,000, is
second to the largest sum ever paid for a pacer, John
R. Gentry once bringing $20,500.

When seen in his room at the Palmer House, Chi-
cago, last week, where he was confined with a severe
cold, McHenry had this to say of Dan Patch, which,
with the possible exception of the world's champion
trotter, Cresceus, is the most talked of horse in the
country: "I drove Patch in all his races last summer,
and he went through the season without defeat, in
fact, he lost but one heat during the entire campaign,
which was a strenuous one.

"I never sat behind a gamer horse than the son of
Joe Palchen, and he is also possessed of a flight of speed
that ought to set his mark the coming season in close
to two minutes, provided he has no mishaps.

"He has wintered well and looks as fine as silk.

"I will take a small and select string through the
Grand Circuit when the season opens, and Dan Patch
will be at the head of my stable."

The steamer Excelsior, of the Southern Pacific line
left New Orleans last week with a full load of race
horses, steeplechasers, jockeys, etc., for Havana, where
the Havana Racing Association has decided to have a
three months' race meet. The horses numbered
twenly-nine, including Judge Steadman, Newberger,
Robert Bonner and Merry Day, and there were thirty-
nine jockeys and other horsemen. Seventy-five other
American horses were sent over to Havava from New
Orleans a few days ago. The Havana Racing Associ-
ation, which has 150 stockholders, is capitalized at
$150,000 and is trying to introduce American racing

in Cuba.

It is a well known fact that in Kentucky, Tennessee
and in fact the entire south, horses are far behind in
their work. Reports from Memphis, for instance,
where there are always a number of the best race
horses in the country in the spring, go to show that
not in many years have the race horse people been so
anxious about the condition of affairs.

AT THE TRAPS.

The Union Gun Club will open their blue rock sea-
son at Ingleside to-morrow. An attractive program
is offered.

The Empire Gun Club members were under a water
handicap last Sunday at Alameda Point. A large
attendance of shooters were present and ready to
shoot in an attractive schedule of events. The
trenches in which the traps were located were, how-
ever, full of water and it was found to be impracticable
to do more than some preliminary practice shooting.
The meeting was postponed until Sunday, March 23d.

The following is a summary of some 10 bird shoots
and a 25 bird pool race:

10 bird match— Webb 7, 15, 9, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8;

The Oak Park Gun Club of Sacramento has been
reorganized for the ensuing season with the following >
officers: Dr. I. G. Shaw, President; A. K. Kerr, Secre- !
tary; H. Davis, Treasurer, and I. Woodworth, Cap- I
tain. The club includes the following members: I. G.
Sbaw, A. K. Kerr, H. Davis, I. Woodworth. Ed
Brady, Dan Buell, Morris Brooke, Isaac Ralphs, H.
Davis, Jr., Howard Kerr, C. A. Fical, F. Newbeit, D.
W. Vanderford, J. Marty, O. Wilbur, Vance Wilbur,
W. Young, Vetter, Stevens, Kingsburg.

The club has procured beautiful grounds immedi-
ately east of the Oak Park baseball grounds and have
not spared expense in fitting it up with all the latest
improvements pertaining to trap shooting. New traps
of the latest pattern ha e been purchased.

The site is one of the best in California and the
street cars will carry shooters from the city to within
a block of the grounds. The opening shoot of the new
club was held last Sunday, beginning at 9 A. M.

A fine day brought out a large attendance and the
interest was unabated until after 3 P. M. A generous
lunch was provided for those present. The new traps
worked beautifully, owing in a great measure to the
skillful adjusting of Mr. Vetter. Much of Dr. Shaw's
powder was too damp for effective work, and Super-
visor Mo ris Brooke took good birds and cripples alike.
The following are the scores:

Don Cesario in smooth Fox Terriers at New York
swept everything before him until he came against the
wire haired champions Hands Up and Hot Stuff, who
went over him on some specials.

Pointers and Setters at the New York Show.

We are indebted to Mr. F. J. Lenoir and Mr. W.
Tallman for the following report on both breeds
benched at the recent Westminster Kennel Club show.
The report appeared first in Turf, Field and Farm.

The greatest number of Pointers benched for the
past seven years. Quality fair, the bitches being of
better type and carrying less lumber than the dogs.
In dog puppies Chappie of Kent took the blue, with
Fair Acre Hector second. Chappie has a better head
and stands not so high as Hector; both show light in
eye; Mark Rush is coarse. In novice dogs Blackstone,
shown in nice condition, won first; he has the best of
feet. Dan Woodstock, the second winner, is a big,
strong dog of fair type, good head and muzzle, but
loses to Blackstone in front and feet. Lumber Boy is
too heavy in shoulders. Fair Acre Trinket is plain,
and Cresceus has good size, but is light in eye and in-
clined to be dished-face. In limit dogs, under 55 pounds,
the winner, Fair Acre Puzzle, is a clean-cut Pointer,
with the best of running gear, beating his kennel
mate in head, ihoulders and feet, Blackstone getting

third, and close up to Fair Acre. Bonnie Flynt's Boy,
reserve, is throaty and turns out too much on his front
feet; he is good in body and eye. In limit dogs, 55
pounds and over, the winner, Dan Woodstock, already
described, is not so light in eye and muzzle as Young
Flint, and Tioga Sam, coming next, seemed to be over
fed — later in the field trial class he showed to better
advantage. Sam's Maro, reserve, is heavy in should
ers and his feet are not of the best. In open dogs,
under 55 pounds, Lansdowne Malt carried away the
blue; a good dog right through, the best of feet and
shoulders, splendid loins and neck, stands about right
a little more muzzle would improve him; he is a game
looking Pointer, and was in great shape. Prince's
Boy was a good second; he stands high from the
ground. Shotaway, getting third, was shown too
high in flesh, short in head and showing age. Black
stone in this class dropped to reserve, the company
being more of the Pointer family. In open dogs, 55
pounds and over, King William was first, put down in
good hard flesh; he is said to be short in head and
neckj he is a strong dog all over. Dustaway, in good
condition, a close second, losing to King in loin and
feet, Dan Woodstock losing to Dustaway in condition
mostly, Mott Regent going to v h c with others; he
was shown soft in flesh and has thickened up. In
bitch puppies Fair Acre Anna, first, was the best, be
ing deeper in chest and ribbed out better than Granny.
Woolton Girl is light in eye and short in head. Quito,
the reserve, is on the same order. In novice bitches
Fair Acre Judy was the pick of the class; in fact, in
head she was as good as any in the show; her shoulders
and feet are good; with more bone she would be hard
to beat. Miss Westlake, second, a neat little bitch,
with splendid loin and good feet; nice eye. Ruth ot
Kent, wider in front and thicker in skull, was third
Linden Bess, the reserve, is a fair bitch. In the limit
bitches, under 50 pounds, Prinaess Alice, first, is a neat
bitch; good head, ears well hung; a showy Pointer.
Westlake Surprise, second, is of good type, shown a
little light in flesh. Lass o' Yoka, getting third, lost
some in shoulders, Miss Westlake going to reserve,
with Bessie Bang II. v h c. All five are good bitches.
In limit bitches, 50 pounds and over, Westlake Orna-
ment, shown light in flesh, but a well formed Pointer,
was first. May Hobson, too flat and long in loin, but
good in head and feet, going to second place. Linden
Bess, described before, third, with Nellie III., reserve,
a fair bitch. In open bitches, under 50 pounds, Ch,
Westlake Startle, the winner, is well known, and was'
easily the best, with Miss Westlake in second place
and Bessie Bang II. getting third; thelatter two being
close. Prince's Lad's Lassie for reserve, with Lad's
Lettey v h c. In open bitches, 50 pounds and over,
Belle Westlake, never shown in such hard flesh, won
with something to spare. May Hobson, the second
winner, loses in bone, loin and ribs. Daisy Steen, get-
ting third, a close thing with the second winner.
Winners', bitches, Belle Westlake, first. Princess
Alice, reserve, losing in bone, loin and expression to
to the winner, Lansdowne Malt and Belle Westlake
coming together for best Pointer in show. Malt was
given the special, his free action and clean front, with
readiness to go, winning for him the cup.

The English Setter classes at this show, so far as
quality and type are concerned, were ahead of any-
thing I have seen in many years. But I must admit
that there is a lack of workman-like character in the
general run of show English Setters of the present day,
and that it appears to me that the breeders of show
dogs and field dogs are gettiDg farther apart each
year. I am sure that if those who are anxious to pre-
serve the proper type of English Setter would breed
to the best type they have, the dogs of good field trial
blood that nearest approach the correct type, there
would before long turn up at our best shows dogs that
combine both show and field qualities. There was but
one dog that made an appearance here that in action
on the chain and in harness and game appearance
would appeal to one who was looking for a Setter for
work. He was entered only in the class for dogs that
had been placed at a public field trial. He is not of
the correct type of English Setter and there is nothing
in his conformation to make him a better field dog
than those of correct type. The fact that he is a field
dog is due to his having been bred from stock that has
been developed in the field without regard to type.
His head is common, ears set on too high; he is high
on the leg round in barrel, curly in coat and has a
bad carriage of tail, but he is full of gameness and
hard as nails. There are lots of dogs and bitches
owned in every State of the Union that are equally as
well bred from a field trial point of view that approach
much nearer the correct type of English Setter If
in selecting stock to breed to these field dogs their
owners would select dogs of good type that have
proved themselves field type tbey would surely get
English Setters in type and bird dogs at the same
time. There seems to be a very small number of
those who care to compete for bench show honors
that are practical sportsmen, and it seems that the
field trial men are afraid to breed to any dog that has
a strain of show breeding in him for fear that he will
lose field quality. If some of those who are spending
so much money in getting together kennels of dogs
that can sweep the benches would devote some of the
capital to training and bringing out dogs of good type
in field trials they would reap a harvest, and receive
merited praise from both sportsmen and fanciers who
cannot afford the time and expense to carry out their
ideas. We had an example of field trial and show
qualities combined a few years ago in Cincinnati Pride.
There is no good reason why such a combination
should not be found at present. If those who can
afford to buy the best oi show winners would select
and run at field trials the best they can procure of the
type of dogs that win on the bench and prove that
that class of dog can win in the field, those who are so
much in favor of field dogs would soon be induced to
breed from a better type of dog, and the result would
be satisfactory. There was an entry of Tourteen in
dog puppies; of these Real John was the best, showing
the most quality and being best In head, neck and

shoulders of anything in the class. He is not quite
right in hind legs, but I think it is more due to lack of
work than to natural conformation. Roderigo D. was
second; a very good youngster, and may develop iDto
a winner. He is level throughout and has the appear-
ance of one that would improve. Mike D. was third,
a litter brother to the winner of second; there is not
much to choose between them at present. Queen's
Patch was reserve, followed by another of same litter
as second, and third, Bullet D. He is light through-
out, but looks as if he might develop into a very good
one. The balance of the class were better than the
average, nearly all showing good Setter quality. In
novice dogs, while all showed fair quality, none of
them were up to what would bo considered high class,
and none were considered by their owners good enough
for competition in the limit class. Fred's Roy was
first, Fleet Highland Second and Windholme Wood-
chuck third. There were eleven entries in this class.
Limit dogs had eight entries, and here the quality of
the exhibit began to show itself. Malwyd Sirdar was
rather an easy winner. He is a dog of wonderful
quality; he has a head which is so clean cut and pictur-
esque as to impress one that it is exaggerated; he is
sound and straight on his legs, and well balanced
throughout. Bracken o' Leek was second. He is a
dog of good type, not as clean in head as the winner,
and rather flat in ribs; aside from his color (dark blue
and black) he is a handsome dog, and should be a good
one to breed to some of the better class of Llewellyn
bitches, as he is a good mover and acts as if he might
be of good field quality. Deceit was third. He is a
very nice-headed dog, but not as strong in body for-
mation as those above mentioned. Stylish Sargeant,
Malwyd Bar None, Malwyd Prince and Windholme
Woodcock followed in the order named; they are all
dogs of fine quality, any of which might win in good
company. In open dogs the competition was between
Malwyd Sirdar and Barton Tory, and the fact that
Barton Tory is nearer to the true type of English Set-
ter was enough to place him ahead of the younger
dog. While it is largely a question of fancy as to
which has the best head, there is no doubt but that
Tory is best in chest formation and nearer to the cor-
rect type, either for field work or from an artistic
point of view. Bracken o' Leek was third, Deceit re-
serve and Stylish Sargeant v. h. c, Gilhooley was h. c;
he has grown heavier in shoulders and is lacking in the
head qualities of the winner. Barton Tory was first in
winners, with Malwyd Sirdar reserve. There were ten
entries in bitch puppies. Blue Bess and Pauline B..
litter sisters, were first and second, as named, third
and reserve going to Fairy D. and Flirt, also litter
sisters,_ and of the same litter as the winners of second
and third in the dog puppy class, a very good showing
for four puppies of one litter. The winner has an ex-
ceptionally nice head, and if she fulfills her promise
will be among the best of them anotuer season. In
fact, there are several in this lot that, barring acci-
dent, will be heard from again. The novice class for
bitches brought out a good one in Fan o' Leek. Bea-

l G. G. Ganld's MIRIAM J. and her daughter DUTCHESS.

trice of Salop was second and Nellie Allis third. In
the limit class Malwyd Queen was first. She was not
in as good coat as the others, but her highly carried
head and elegant running gear (notwithstanding the
fact that she is rather long bodied) won for her over
some that might be placed over her another time.
Fan o' Leek was second and Queen's Paragon third;
the latter is a beautiful bitch in outline; in fact, if she
was not so slow and sluggish in her action she would
crowd the best of tbem. In the open class Malwyd
Queen was again to the front, with Queen's Place Pride
second and in Queen's Pride third. Malwyd Queen
won in the winners' class, with Queen's Place Pride re-
serve. The special for the best kennel was won by the
Vaucroft Kennels, and also the specials for the best
English Setter with Barton Tory. The special for the
best English Setter puppy was won by Mr. Horace A.
Belcher with Blue Bess.

Striped bass are very plentiful in the local markets.
The fish are nearly all very large ones and are taken
on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and in
the shallow waters of east San Pablo bay.

The rod fishermen have not shown themselves very
diligent in bass angling recently. W. R. McFarland
has caught several lately in Raccoon Straits. On
Wednesday, McFarland, W. S. Kittle and Louis F.
Weinman tried the straits. Weinman landed a ten-
pound fish.

Along the Marin county shores the herring are now
to be found in countless schools busily engaged in
spawning. The bass are feeding on the herring and
for this reason have ignored the seductions of the
trolling spoon recently. The experts claim that when
the herring leave again, striped bass anglers will have
a chance to catch more flah.

The Pointers in the Field Trials of 1901.

Looking over the records of the field trials of 1901
the Pointer breeders find some encouragement and no
reasons to ask for favors or for separate stakes for
their favorite dog, Charles B. Pineo, of Bar Harbor,
and a well kcown Eastern Pointer fancier, writes in
the American Kennel Gazette for February.

The short-haired dog has more than held his own:
he has won more than his share of the hdnors.

The English Setter has for a number of years had
the support of the very wealthy, and has been boomed.
At present the English Setter is hunting for a type,
talking about the ability of his ancestors and trying
to find°out where he is at. The Pointer in the hands
of comparatively poor men has kept along in the even
ienor of his way, and is not asking for any odds of his
rival. Of the Pointers running in the trials of 1901, all
things considered, it would seem that King Cyrano
was about the best dog out, and when in condition it
takes a good dog of any breed to beat him.

I very much doubt if any dog has yet been produced
that has a license to win from him. He comes by Ms
field ability honestly, for his sire is Champion JiDgo, a
field trial winner; his dam is by King of Kent, a field
trial winner, and one of the best Pointers ever owned
in America; third dam by the good dog Beaufort.

King Cyrano is an honest worker, and when he
makes a mistake seems to know it, and feels as badly
about it as anyone.

The future may produce a better dog, but up to the
present no dog very much his superior, certainly has
not been brought before the public. Rip Tick is an-
other honest, consistent performer; he can be depended
upon to do good work at any and all times; in all his
trials he ran but very few, if any, poor heats. He has
met the best dogs, and defeated many of them, and
when not winning first he has made it interesting
enough for the others so that they will remember that
they had been in a race.

Rip Tick comes honestly by his field ability, for he
is by the field trial winner. Young Rip Rap, and out of
a daughter of Tick Boy, another field trial winner.

Rip Tick is not all done with his winning, and will
be a still better dog this year than last.

Senator P. is a good dog that has proved himself to
be a hard nut to crack, running at times in great form.
Lad of Jingo is a dog that has always shown that he
can do just what he is bred to do — find birds with the
best dogs of any breed, and asks for no favors. He is
one of the very best bred Pointers of the present day.
His son, AlpinLad, is a chip of the old block; he has
shown himself to be a good young dog that will be in
the money hereafter as well as in the past.

Jingo's Boy and Emma B. Rush were both good
dega this p 1st year, and seem to improve in their work
anu grow better. Certainly, they are a credit to the
breed.

Alex II. is a dog of much merit, the first of the sea-
son as well as in the previous year, performed well, as
she had a right to do from her breeding.

Cuba Jr. is, I think, from the Pacific Coast, ard 13 a
credit to any section of the country. [This stylish
and consistent performing young liver and white
Pointer is by Cuba of Kenwood out of Florida, whelped
March 13, 1900; owned and bred by Stockdale Kennels,
Bakersfield, R. M. Dodge, manager. Cuba of Ken-
wood was one of the Pacific Coast field trial winners in
1898, 1899 and 1900 and is also a bench winner. Cuba
Jr., besides his Eastern work last year, won the Pacific
Coast Derby last January. He was said to have shown
himself far ahead of the Derby dogs, but he did Dot
last longer than the second series when he went against
the more seasoned dogs of the All-Age. Ned Funston,
a Pointer by Kris KriDgle out of Plain Sister, was
third in the Derby. A Pointer, Dr. Daniels — a lemon
and white dog by Plain Sam ex Dolly Dee II., and
owned by W. W. Van Arsdale — won the All- Age stake
here in January. Pearl's Jingle (Young Jingo-Pearl's
Dot II. ), owned by Clinton E. Worden, won second
place. Of these two Pointers it was said, when they
were put down, "it seemed as if the best had been kept
for the last," for this brace of Pointers put up one of
finest races ever seen at a Coast field trial. Dr. Daniels
is a handsome, wide ranging dog; he hunts his ground
with ease and judgment and his work is high class in
every particular. Pearl's Jingo is also stylish and
wide ranging and runs with a high head, although not
so fast as Dr. Daniels. They ran at a side-plitting pace
for forty-five minutes, ranging from one-quarter to
one-half mile and finished with Daniels on a fine bevy
point, Jingle backing beautifully. Judge Balmer com-
plimented the handlers on the fine showiDg made by
both dogs.— Ed. B. & S.]

Robs is a dog that, while he did not start in a large
number of trials, showed good form in the trials that
he did take part in.

Zul, ifea is a good one; lam not familiar with her
breeding, but it is very certain she is bred in good
lines, for Manitoba has drawn on England very liberally
for her Pointer stock, and some of the best Pointers
on this side of the Atlantic are in this section.

Among the younger dogs Sabine's Rip has shown
that he was of the kind that could win. He no doubt
has as much natural ability as any one of the young
dogs pertorming this last year. Coupled with his field
ability was go >d form and good breeding; by Young
Rip Rap cut of Mother Sabine, own sisler to Plain
Sam.

It was a loss to the Pointer interest of the 'West
when Sibine's Rip died. I believe the American
P imttr has improved in the last fifteen years and is
better than his cousin across the water in England, for
"ie work he is lejuired to do in the South, West and
1 forth of the United States I believe the present day

American Pointer to be faster than the old dogs and
faster than the present dogs in England.

I think it requires a different dog to do the hunting
satisfactorily in the West and North of America to
what it does to hunt in England, or to do the hunting
in New England of our own country.

In the West or North, where much of the hunting
is done od horseback, a fast dog is required, and I be-
lieve our lighter dog can hunt faster and longer tban
the heavier dog.

The blood of the English Pointer could be used to
advantage, I have no doubt, but the English Pointer,
in his present form, and as bred to hunt in his own
country, is not just the dog that is required in all
parts of America.

[Hunting on horseback in this State and where a
field dog is required is not so much in vogue as to be
noticeable. Nor do we believe that this practice has
many devotees in Oregon or Washington, or in some of
the other States or Territories west of the Rockies.
When the writer mentions the "North" and the
"West" he, we believe, confines himself to a territory
east and north of the Missouri and Platte rivers.—
Ed. B. & S.]

The modern Bull Terrier, frequently referred to as
the "gentlemen's dog," is a much different animal
from the fierce brute of olden times. To day the typi-
cal Bull Terrier is a clean cut, handsome animal, en-
tirely white, and although gamey to the tip of bis
slender tail, no longer quarrelsome. He is lacking the
formidable "pit" expression, common in the old type.

Half a century ago, James Hinks, Birmingham. Eng-
land, began to cross the patched, heavy-headed Bull
Terrier used for fighting with the English white ter-
rier. In due time he produced dogs handsome enough
to make a name for themselves and able to revolutionize
the variety. It was stated that the new breed were
soft and unable to fight, but this supposition has been
long ago disproved.

The white dog is now the typical specimen, although
the color does not always bar from winning in this
country, for the patched dog in often seen in the ring.
Lovers of sport delight in Bull Terriers, for they are
not ODly companionable, but teachable, while their
gamey qualities may always be relied upon.

Besides being a devoted friend and companion, the
Bull Terrier is death on rats, aDd no vermin exists in

his vicinity.

The Bakersfield enthusiasts with the shotgun are
taking steps to bring about a State shoot in that city
during the free street carnival in April. It is the in-
tention of the promoters of the scheme to get together
the clubs from San Francisco. Los Angeles, Fresno,
Visalia and other California points to contest. Live
birds in abundance can be secured there and a most
enjoyable time has been promised if the plans of the
shooters are carried through. A gun club is about to
be formed in that city. It is proposed by those who
have signified their intention of joining the club to
move the club house from the grounds at Agricultural
Park to a loc ition near Crawford and Hoag's road-
house. The grounds at this place could be well fixed
up at but little expense.

Sacramento game officials aio having difficulty in
stopping illegal duck shooting. This might be ex-
pected from a section where, among one factioD of
shooters, a sentiment prevailed against the protection
of English snipe and where men are out daily hunting
ostensibly for the "long bills. " Ducks are more than
plentiful in many places in the overflows along the
Sacramento river.

H. F. Lorquin has had numerous specimens of
mounted feathered game on exhibition in a local
sportsmen's emporium. Several drake mallards, can-
vasback and sprig as well as some of the prettily
plumaged divingducks, mounted on handsome shields,
are dining room pieces that have been in demand this

season.

Some game pieces by the well known local artist, E.
W. Currier, have recently won much praise from many
sportsmen. One panel in particular, two Oregon
pheasants, is notable for their life-like appearance
and the brilliancy of coloring of the birds.

when the salt water fisherman fishes at night with the
aid of a lantern.

Barracuda have been seen outside last week in the
channel off Redondo beach and those who strike the
school will get a fair mess. Usually the barracuda
run begins about this time and a few catches are
made. Then the fish are lost for two or three weeks,
when they reappear in larger numbers than ever.

It has never been proved whether barracuda follow
the warm water and go south in winter, or live on the
bottom during the cold months. It is probable that
they do both. Line fishermen who set their gear often
take barracuda on the bottom in winter. This shows
that some of them must be around in the rainy season.
On the other hand, it is a known fact that they can
be caught in far Southern waters all winter.

Outside in the kelp a few yellowtail have begun to
bite, and fishermen who go far out into the channel
will get bonita and albicore. The uncertainty of the
weather has kept everybody but the professionals and
most enthusiastic yachtsmen-aDglers off the deep
lately. There has been however a fair chance of
catching a mess of fish at any of the beaches. It is
not likely that the sport will be at all sensational.

While taking the outside trips in the Donahue, now
at San Pedro, Captain Smith of Ocean Park, had
many opportunities to study the peculiarities of rock
bass and other game fish of that tribe. His research
was made particularly with a view to ascertaining if
they would take the fly, trolling spoon or other similar
baits.

One surface bait employed was a revolving alumi-
num bait, and Captnin Smith says they were snapped
readily at that. He has several sound objections to
its use, however. In the first place, being aluminum,
the salt water soon eats out the strength of this lure,
and further the hooks are not heavy enough to stand
the terrific jolt administered by a six-pound bass.
There are more of these hooks than are necessary. A
few heavier ones would be better.

Another bait employed by the captain is the casting
spoon, and he finds that bass will strike at it readily.
In fact the substance of his conclusions was that they
would rush at almost anything which migbt be drawn
within their sight. He believes that on a calm day a
fisherman could takt rock bass readily with a common
Eastern bass fly. There are many holes in the kelp
outside San Pedro where bass are abundant, and the
scheme is worth a trial just for the sake of demonstra-
ting the possibilty of it.

Doubtless it would be necessary to fish "wet" for
bass or other salt water fish. That means the fly
would have to be allowed to siDk several feet. Bass
might rush to the surface for it, however, as they will
take a crippled fish at the top of the water.

Of course none of the foregoing ways of catching
bass are Decessary, as the fish will bite better at a
small live anchovy or sardine than at anything else,
but there are many who like to fish in the most
scientific way and rejoice in taking fish by harder
methods than anyone else. The possibilities of Cali-
fornia salt water angling are just dawning on the
public, and within the next ten years fish will be taken
in ways that now would be laughed at as generally as
were the efforts of Professor Holder to take a tuna on
rod and reel.

The Ruling Passion.

The fishing sun Is in the air;

The fishing birds are singing:
The fish are jumping everywhere;

The fish time buds are springing.

I wipe the dust from off my pole

And oil again my reel;
And dreams of many a fishing hole

Across my mem'ry steal.

I search again my braided iine

For any kink or hitch—
For I can feel along my spine

The yearly fishing itch.

The fishing sun is in the air;

I hear the reels a-singing;
And in my mind I see the pair

Of beauties I am stringing !

Fish Lines.

Mr. Charles Vogelsang, chief -deputy of the Califor-
nia Fish Commission, who has recently visited the
Siskiyou hatchery, reports that nearly 5,000,000 young
salmon have been liberated within the last three
weeks into the headwaters of the Sacramento and its
tributaries, and 5,000,000 remain to be liberated in tbe
near future for distribution in other counties. These
young fry will at once start for the ocean and be gone
four years, by which time they will have become ma-
ture fish weighing from fifteen to forty pounds.

Reports from the south are to the effect that mack-
erel fishing is productive of results at Redondo beach

Open Trout Season Shortened.

An ordinance, of interest to anglers, was passed
this week by the Monterey county Supervisors shorten-
ing the open trout season one month by changing its
beginning from April 1st to May 1st. This action was
taken in conformity with a petition from a large num-
ber of influential citizens of the county, and will, it is
understood, take effect this year.

Grcver Cleveland — Fisherman.

By way of introduction and explanation, it should
be said that there is no intention at this time to deal
with those who fish for a livelihood. Those sturdy
and hard-working people need do vindication or de-
fense. Our concern is with those who fish because
they have an occult and mysterious instinct which
leads them to love it, because they court the healthful,
invigorating exertion it invites, and because its indul-
gence brings them in close contact and communion
with Nature's best and most elevating manifestations.
This sort of fishing is pleasure and not work — sport
and not money-grabbing. Therefore it is contemptu-
ously regarded in certain quarters as no better than a
waste of time. Generous fishermen cannot fail to look
with pity upon the benighted persons who have no
better conception than this of the uses and beneficent
objects of rational diversion. In these sad and omi-
nous days of mad fortune-chasing, every patriotic,
thoughtful citizen, whether he fishes or not, should
lament that we have not among our countrymen more
fishermen. There can be no doubt that the promise
of industrial peace, of contented labor and of healthful
moderation in the pursuit of wealt.h, in this democratic
country of ours, would be infinitely improved if a large
share of the time which has been devoted to the con-
coction of trust and business combinations had been
spent in fishing.

The narrow and ill-conditioned people who snarlingly
count all fishermen as belonging to the lazy and good-
for-nothing class, and who take satisfaction in describ-
ing an angler's outfit as a contrivance with a hook at
one end and a fool at the other, have been so thor-
oughly discredited that no one could wish for their
mere irredeemable submersion. StatesmeD, judges,
clergymen, lawyers and Doctors, as well as thousands
of other outspoken members of the fishing fraternity,

,ve so effectively given the lie to these revilers of an
inest and conscientious brotherhood that they are
ad to had refuge io ignominious silence.
In point of fact, full-blooded fishermen whose title is
bar, and whose natural qualifications are undisputed,
ive ideas, habits of thought and mental tendencies so
culiarly and especially their own, and their beliefs
,d code of ethics are so exclusively fitted to their
■eds and surroundings, that an attempt on the part
. strangers to speak or write concerning the character
■conduct of its approved membership savors of im-
ident presumption. None but fishermen can properly
*al with these delicate matters.

What sense is there in the charge of laziness some-
aies made against true fishermen? Laziness has no
ace in the constitution of a man who starts at sunrise
id tramps all day with only a sandwich to eat,
mndering through bushes and briers and stumbling
-er rocks or wading streams in pursuit of elusive
out. Neither can a fisherman who, with rod in hand,
ts in a boat or on a bank all day be called lazy — pro-
ded he attends to his fishing and is physically and
entally alert in his occupation. _

It is sometimes said that there is such close relation-
dp between mendacity and fishing, that in matters
nmected with their craft all fishermen are untruth-
.1. It must, of course, be admitted that large stories
fishing ad venture are sometimes told by fishermen —
id wh/should this not be so? Beyond all question
iereis no sphere of human activity so full of strange
id wonderful incilent as theirs. Fish are constantly
ring the most mysterious and startling things; and
) one has yet been wise enough to explain their ways
■account for their conduct. The best fishermen do
>fc attempt it: they move and strive in the atmosphere
' mystery and uncertainity, constantly aiming to
iach results without a clue, and through the cultiva-
on of faculties nou-existent or inoperative in the
immon miod. In these circumstances fishermen nec-
■sarily see and do wonderful things. If those not
embers of the brotherhood are unable to assimilate
ie recital of these wonders, it is because their believ-
g apparatus has not been properly regulated and
fmulated. Such disability falls very far short of
stifying doubt as to the truth of the narration. The
lings narrated have been seen and experienced with
fisherman's eyes and perceptions. This is perfectly
iderstood by listening fishermen; and they, to their
ljoyment and edification, are permitted to believe
hat they hear.

It is perfectly plain that large fish are more apt to
scape than small ones. Their weight and activity,
)mbined with the increased trickiness and resource-
ilness of age and experience, of course, greatly in-
•ease their ability to tear out the hook, and enhance
ie danger that their antics will expose a fatal weak-
ess in hook, leader, line or rod. Another presump-
on, which must be regretfully mentioned, arises from
ie fact that in many cases it is the encounter with a
rge fish which causes such excitement, and such dis-
■action or perversion of judgment, as leads the fisher-
ian to do the wrong thing, or fail to do the right
ling, at the critical instant.

Those who accuse true fishermen of falsehood, it is
arfectly clear that they are utterly unfitted to deal
ith the subject. Upon this theory any story of per-
)nal experience told of a fisherman is to the fishing
pprehension indubitably true; and, since disoelief in
ther quarters is owing to the lack of this apprehen-
on, the folly of accusing fishermen of habitual un-
•uthfulness is quite apparent.

The position thus taken by the brotherhood requires
lat they stand solidly together in all circumstances,
'arpon fishing has added greatly to our responsibil'.-
es. Even larger fish than these may, with the exten-
on of American possessions, fall within the treatment
f American fishermen. As in all past emergencies,
e shall be found sufficient in such future exigencies.
.11 will go well if, without a pretense of benevolent
ssimilation, we still fish as is our wont, and continue
ur belief in all our brethren of the fishing class.
The foregoing is taken from a paper written by
rover Cleveland (the article was originally published
i the Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia) and was
sari by President Walter D. Mansfield at a recent
anquet of the San Francisco Fly-Casting Club upon
ie occasion of Mr. Cleveland's election to honorary
lembership in the club.

Tiger Hunting Adventures in India.

Two exciting hunting episodes are here related by
aptain A. H. Woddell and a writer in The Asian
sspectively. In the one adventure the hunter has a
iste of deadly peril to give his quest the true sport^-
lan's flavor, in the second story an element of the
ipernatural has a strong influence in giving the lead-
ig actor a tinge of excitement in the enjoyment of his
unt.

"I was hunting in the Western Ghats of Southern
idia, had been out about two months and had had
dr but not extraordinary sport. The monsoon had
sen light, the succeeding hot weather very hot, water
:arce and game, of course, more plentiful in its
icinity. I had struck camp and marched some thirty
dies southeast, into a thick, broken, difficult country
ad camped in what from all appearances was a sports-
tan's paradise. Deer, bear and panthers were reported
lentiful, an occasional tiger was no uncommon visitor
id small game of all sorts abounded. A hot ride
lrough a most wild, romantic and beautiful country
rought us to the dry and sandy bed of a small river,

the middte of which were some patches of rush and
fass, kept green by a kind of boggy formation com-

on in that part; to one of these patches Ramiah led
.9, and from and to the furthest bank were the well
ifined pugs (footprints) of a tiger, or as Ramiah said,
gress. She had been there only once, and that, the

night before; and there in the near vicinity she was now.
I told Rimiah that the only chance lay in ''tying up '
and sitting up over the "kill;" this was no information
for him, however, for he replied, with a gesture like a
Frenchman, "Master know very well." Before sunset
that night I had six water buffaloes tied up along the
course of the nullah, which was clear and free from
growth, and the nights as good luck would have it,
were very light. Sitting up over "kills" is only one
way of shooting tigers, and I would say at the same
time not by any means the most pleasant or exciting,
although there is the ever constant expectancy of see-
ing the striped mooster, creeping, catlike, up to its
victim in the dead of night, amid such strange sur-
roundings, phantom shapss and shadows, near and
distant jungle noises, the thuuderless lightning so com-
mon in India, the great orb as she rises in her stately
glory, the Southern cross, as he slowly but steadily
turns upside down; the flitting of the night birds, the
hum of innumerable insects and the howl of the kola-
chalu, or jackals.

Soon after dawn next morning Ramiah reported a
kill. This meant a quiet day in camp and prepara
tions for the night's sen'ry duty. The buffalo which
had been killed was tied to a tree that grew on a slight
elevation in the center of the nullah, at a puint where
it flattened out and divided into two, and where the
banks and eages, instead of being abrupt and steep,
sloped gradually up until they became lost in the
jungle growth. A spot more suitable for the purpose
could not have been found; the dead cow lay where
she had been killed, about twelve yards from a huge
rock or boulder nearly sixteen feet high, perpendicular
on the side facing the cow and almost fiat on the top,
which was about a yard and a half across its widest
part. With the help of Ramiah and a rope, for the
rock was almost unscalable, even on the most accessi-
ble side, I succeeded in gaining the summit, and with
a resai and pillow made myself as comfortable as cir-
cumstances would permit. Ramiah, after handing up
my rifle, a .500 Holland & Holland express, retired to
a tree some five and twenty yards to my left front. I
shall never forget that night; the heat was stifling, the
stench from the cow was abominable and the mos-
quitoes were past understand in: they bit through every
part of my khakiclothing, they punctured me through
the lace holes of my shoes, my putties might have
been so many feet of gauze rolled round my legs, and
altogether the undisguised joy they manifested at my
helplessness, knowing full well that I dare not move
for fear of attracting attention, was most maddening
I do not know how long I had been laying there, gaz-
ing first at the cow and then glancing at Ramiah, who
sat in a fork of the tree with a jhool cloth over his
head, never moving a muscle, and looking for a?l the
world like a graven image, when I saw the tiger walk-
ing quietly from the edge of the jungle, and I should
imagine about seventy or eighty yards away.

Afcer coming somewhat nearer the tiger, or tigress,
as she really was, stood still and elevated her head, as
if trying to see the buffalo, which she evidently did,
for she immediately crouched like a cat and com-
menced stalkiug the dead cow in that manner. I have
often thought of this curious procedure. The tigress
must have known that the buffalo was dead and could
not get away from her, and that it was an easy matter
for her to replenish her apoetite without going
through the formalities of a "kill, "yet she kept creep-
ing noiselessly and stealthily up to within a few yards
of the carcass, stopping every now and then, rocking
on her feet and gathering them under her, while her
tail, which she carried on the ground straight out
behind her, would give a nervous curl at the tip. She
then, when within bounding distance, sprang upon
the prostrate form, with a soft, satisfied, half growl,
half purr, smelt about the haunch or quarter, from
which she had feasted the night before, and which, I
may mention, is the part that a tiger always commen-
ces to feed upon, and soon began to tear and eat; she
was in no hurry, and every now and then stopped and
listened. After a time, and evidently becoming satis-
fied, she began to play with a piece of meat she had
torn off, and I saw it was time to act, as she would
evidentlj soon be off.

She lay over the buffalo, almost facing me, but still
giving me a fair mark at the proper spot. I flattened
myself out, raising my elbows slowly, brought my rifle
quietly to my shoulder. She saw me the fraction of
an instant before I pulled the trigger, her eyes caught
mine fair and square, and I shall never forget them.
I had fired by this time: the tigress sprang up, made
two tremendous bounds in rapid succession, and the
next instant her head and both forepaws appeared
well onto the top of the rock, to which she hung. I
had jumped up. but she was so close to me, and the
top of the rock so narrow, that I coutd not get far
enough away to raise my rifle to give her the second
barrel without falling off backward: so I grabbed the
rifle by the grip, pistol fashion, with my right hand,
holding the barrels in my left, with the intention of
shooting her through the brain, but before I could do
so, she fell off dead, after covering me wi h blood and
froth, which was escaping from her nose and mouth.
Ramiah was down the moment he saw her fall off the
rock— she was dead before she reached the ground —
and after salaamins and shahbazing, with much pro-
fusion, assisted me from my perch."

The story of the "phantom tiger" is told by another
sportsman: "My camp was pitched in the shadow of a
great clump of banyan trees, situated in the depths of
the forest For miles around, with the exception of
one pool in the watercourse not far from my tents, all
the water had dried up, for it was the height of the
hot weather. All day long the pitiless sun beat down
upon the parched earth, scorching it into dust and
drying up the fallen leaves, so that they cracked loudly
even beneath the light tread of a lizard. At early
dawn the furred and feathered inhabitants of the jungle
came down to drink. During the long hot day the
forest slumbered, save for the cicadas which kept up

their strident screech, and the brain-fever bird that
shrieked from the tree top with an ever increasing
crescendo of maddening notes. Towards evening,
when the shadows lengthened and the heat became a
little less intense, the denizens of the forest awoke and
began to move about in the ^thickets, all converging
towards the pool of water where they might slake
their thirst after the parching heat of the day.

This was the time for the tiger to commence his
nightly prowl in search of victims. For there was no
jungle-law in force in this forest. That is only found
in story books. The sambur, the chital, the n
and the littlechausingha came down to drink at dawn,
and at thesetting of the sun. looking cautiously around
them in fear of the lurking foe. The sambur generally
came after the forest was wrapped in the gloom of
night, and so did the heavy, shambling bear. All
animals alike approached the water with great circum-
spection. For who could tell whether or no the striped
watcher, the dweller on the threshold of the pool, were
lying-in-wait for prey? "There is a pleasure in the
pathless woods, "especially when they teem with game,
and perhaps there is no greater pleasure than the
observation of the wild inhabitants of the forest, when,
in concealment one's self, one can watch them in their
native wilds, although "sitting up" is not a practice
recommended for obtaining sport, as it seems scarcely
fair on the animals to encompass their destruction in
this manner. Still, there are sometimes circumstances
when no other method of bringing a tiger to bag is
possible, either owing to the density and extent Of the
jungle or the absence of beaters.

A fine old tiger -as haunting- the forest in the
vicinity of this pool which has been mentioned. I
found the imprints of his great paws in the soft mud
on the water's edge, and in the neighboring thicket
the skull of a wild boar with fine tushes, doubtless one
of his victims, lay bleaching in the sun. The only
human beings within a distance of many leagues were
some half-dozen Gonds of a neighboring hamlet, so it
was useless to attempt the organization of a beat.
Therefore one afternoon at about four o'clock I took
up my position among the branches of a great banyan
tree that overshadowed the pool, where the gnarled
limbs and thick foliage shielded me from the sun and
from the view of the animals.

The sun sank gradually towards the horizon, and as
it descended the life of the thickets awoke in song and
movement. First birds of many kinds came down to
the water's edge: peafowl, junglefowl and the little
painted quail all put in an appearance, whilst flights of
parrots, cutting the air like arrows, came swooping
down to the branches above me, while they occupied
themselves in noisy squabbling. The jungle cocks
crew defiance at each other from the hillsides, and two
of them with ruffled feathers approached to do battle.
Then the little four-horned antelope, singly and in
pairs, emerged cautiously from cover, and a red kakur
barked loudly on the hillside, giving warning of ap-
proaching danger. The shadows were already blend-
ing into one mezzotint of gloom. The sun had disap-
peared, leaving a faint suffusion of light in the sky
above, while the brighter constellations were already
visible in the dark blue vault. The solitude and the
peaceful surroundings lulled me into a slumberous
state, and more than once I found myself nodding over
my rifle. It was rapidly growing dark, and the moon
would not rise for another hour.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the animals
that still surrounded the pool. The peafowl and other
birds hurried off into the bushes. The small deer
disappeared silently like spectres into the shades of
the forest. No living thing appeared in sight. No
sound disturbed the unbroken silence. No breath of
wind stirred the leaves. Then suddenly a human cry,
a shriek of mortal fear and agony cut the silence., and
the sound of a struggle among the bushes not far off
was followed by a quiet as deep as before. I remained
spell-bound. It was still light enough to see every-
thing clearly. The hoarse purr of a tiger came down
the nullah, followed by the sound of the animal lapping
at the water, but I saw nothing. My hair rose in
horror at the presence of something supernatural.
Then the lapping ceased, and the purring became
fainter as the beast receded, evidently in the direction
of his prey. But all was not yet over. Again the
noise came near, accompanied by the sound of the
dragging of a heavy body through the bushes and
down the nullah. Rapidly it approached. I could
hear the great beast breathing heavily, and the stench
of it assailed my nostrils. A faint wind, hot as of a
breath from Hades, came scorching down the nullah,
and then the Presence was beneath me. And as I
looked, the footprints of a great tiger were printed off
one by one in the sand below, and alongside of them
appeared the trail of dragging feet, and dark stains
that might be blood. But nothing more was to be
seen. Doubtless the scene of some former tragedy
was being re-enacted below me. The thing, invisible
to mortal eyes, passed away down the glen, leaving
those great pugs and the trail of the ghastly burthen
in the sand, and with it passed the scorching wind.
I started from the spell which had until this moment
held me. grasping my rifle and peering into the gloom
of night. The moon had risen over the tops of the
trees, and cast her soft beams upon the surrounding
scene; faint, ghostlike outlines of trees appeared, the
bushes were bathed in a white mistiness, and the
water, slightly rippled by a faint zephyr, was sprinkled
as with diamonds where a moonbeam, like a ray of
hope, was shed across its surface. And beneath me,
clearly outlined in the bright moonlight, was the
great tiger whose pugs I had seen in the daytime; no
phantom now! Even as the beast bent down to drink
I raised my rifle and pressed the trigger, and he sub-
sided without a struggle upon the margin of the pool.
It had been an uncanny ad venture, but perhaps the
dream or vision seemed more accountable when the
old local shikari informed me next day that many
years before a man-eating tiger had infested the forest,
and had killed several of his victims near that very
spot.

The Baeon Breeds.

The large Yorkshire and Tamworth, or
lean meat breeds, besides being leggy, are
long and muscular and therefore have
strong breathing, circulatory and digestive
powers, which accounts for their economy
in the amount of food consumed, as shown
by experiments in Iowa and Minnesota,
and a seres nf experiments for five years
in Canada, writes Thos. Beazeley in the
Rural World. The qualities named -
length and strength of muscles and con-
stitutions or powerful vitality and motive
force— also account partly for their pro-
ficiency. That which makes lean meat
also makes milk, the equivalent mostly of
lean in liquid form. Therefore, and for
their gentleness, etc., they are fine breeds,
the Yorkshire, at least, for sows.

If you want lard hogs, breed to boars of
Bmaller breeds, such as the smaller York-
shire and the EBsex, the Suffolk and the
Victoria, the Cheshire and the medium
Yorkshire, possibly, or to the flop-eared
breeds, if you are not particular about the
kind of ears in the offspring. The above
named breeds have erect ears.

The true way to enlarge a smaller breed
is said to be by breeding the sowb of the
larger to boars of the smaller breed— not
the opposite cross. Breeding the sows
mentioned to Berkshire, another bacon
breed next in order, i9 an excellent cross,
and many of the progeny should resemble
those excellent breeds known as CheBhires
and medium Yorkshires, and which prob-
ably rank next in order for quality of
meat and bacon, with the Essex and Suf-
folk, the smaller Yorkshire and Victoria
not far behind.

As to bowb of the lard breeds, I would
like to Bee moieof them bred to the bacon
breeds and to breeds of their own kind,
but with erect ears and a coat of hair
similar to their own except possibly in
color, such aB the Poland-China to the
Essex or to the smaller Yorkshire.

The writer owns neither Yorkshire nor
Essex at present, and the above is sub-
mitted largely in the spiiit of inquiry and
in the hope of inciting some one to cover
the same ground and improve it.

Prolific Sheep.

J. L, Pottle, of East Butte, Sutler county,
has a ewe in his flock of sheep that has a
pretty fair family record.'' Last March she
gave birth to two hue lambs and in Sep-
tember went one better, dropping three,
making a full hand of five for the year.
All the lambs are strong and healthy.
The breed according to Mr. Pottle is just
"sheep," — Sutter Co. Farmer.

Veterinary Pixine

After Blistering. Veterinary Pixine is the •
very best application that could be indicated.
It absorbs all inflammatory exudate and has-
tens the reparatory process. Will heal the
most severe cases without scar and prevent
loss of hair.

AS A PREVENTIVE.
If a light application of Veterinary Pixine
is used before speeding, driving in wet, muddy or
slushy weather, or in the snow, your horse will
never have speed cracks, scratches or grease heel.
FOR HOOFS
It will keep the hoofs healthy, soft and in per-
fect form.

FOR SORES, ETC.

Veterinary Pixine heals collar and saddle

galls, hopple chafes, abscesses, inflammatory

swellings sores and all skin disease. In cases of

emergency it is invaluable.

Tm's penetrating, stimulating, soothing, absorb-
ing, antiseptic, healing ointment heals from be-
neath the surface by disinfecting the parts, sub-
duing the inflammation and stimulating healthy
granulation, not by drying and scabbing.

A BEAUTIFUL FARM HOME, the well known
Fred Talbot place near San Rafael, is to be sold
at auction on Saturday next and at the same time all
the handsome furnishings of the residence, the horses,
cattle, etc., and a number of fine buggies, carts, sur-
ries and harness; in short, everything at this beauti-
ful country seat is to go to the highest bidder. Sev-
eral fine road animals by Direct 2:05}, Mt. Hood 2:22}
and other well known sire9 will be sold, together with
a number of first class saddle horses and four or five
beautiful and thoroughly broken Shetland ponies.
The Talbot place comprises 140 acres and is one of the
best appointed country homes in California. Mr. Tal-
bot, however, cannot devote the necessary time to it,
and has decided that it must be sold for what it will
bring without reserve. Send to Woodward, Watson
& Co., 903 Broadway, Oakland, for a catalogue of the
sale, giving terms and all particulars.

carried 109 pounds, and was favorite at even money.
The winner is owned by T. H. Stevens and is a four
year old by Wadsworth, a son of Longfellow. The
dam of Siddonsis Modjeska by Buckmaster, second
dam by imp. Billet, third dam by imp. Canwell, fourth
dam by imp Australian, fifth dam by Lexington.
The race was tud in 7:30. The four mile race is not a
great attraction nowadays, and few associations pro-
vide for them on the programs. They fail to bring
out a high class lot of horses as in former years and
are only kept up as a sort of concession to the "old
guard," who imagine that they are still a great test
of a horse's abilities. When it is considered that a
mare like Lueretia Borgia holds the world's record for
this distance it must be acknowledged that time at
the distance is not much of a test of class.

T^HOSE INTERESTED in the recent purchase of
' the Empire City track met in New York, March
5, and organized the Empire City Trotting Club.
James Butler was elected president, Fred Gerkin first
vice-president, Edgar Bronk second vice-president
and Charles C. Lloyd third vice-president. It was
decided to hold a meeting at the track on September
8, 9,. 10. 11 and 21, and purse events to the value of
$19,000 were arranged. These were$5000 for 2:20 trot,
S5000 for 2:09 pace, 33000 for the 2:11 trot, S3000 for
the 2:14 trot and $3000 for the 2:30 trot, entries to
close April 1. It is also announced that the associa-
tion has secured the services of Horace W. Wilson as
secretary. Mr. Wilson has resigned his position as
secretary of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders'
Association where it is said he was receiving a salary
of $5000 a year, and will it is said be paid $10,000 a year
by the New York Association. Mr. Wilson is one of
the ablest secretaries in America, and can come as near
arranging a program that will fill as any person in the
business.

THE TERRE HAUTE MATRON STAKES, $10,000
for foals of 1902, closes April 14th. Two thousand
dollars of this stake is set aside for two year old trot-
ters and $1000 for two year old pacers. The balance,
$7000, goes to the three year old trotters. It is one of
the great futurities of the country and the cost of
original entry is so low — $5 — that all can patronize it.
The conditions are so arranged that payments are
easily kept up. The first payment, $5, is made when
the mare is nominated April 14th; the second payment
of $10 is due December 1, 1902, and there is nothing
more to pay until the year of the race. If you want
to race your colt as a two year old there are two small
payments that year, but if not, none are required until
the colt is three years old. It is one of the best con-
ditioned stakes ever devised. The importance of en-
tering in stakes should be realized by every breeder.
We ask all our readers to read the conditions of the
Terre Haute Matron in our advertising columns to-day
and to make as many entries as possible before the
date of closing. It will pay whether you race or sell.

TTHE SPECIAL HARNESS STALLION STAKE
* offered by the California State Agricultural Soci-
ety and which had 36 stallions nominated on the date
set for its closing, is to here-opened. The Speed Com-
mittee has recommended that May 1st be fixed as the
date of closing and the Board of Directors at their
next meeting will undoubtedly select that date and
re-open the stake. We co not think there will be an
objection on the part of any owner who has already
made a nomination to this course, and we know there
will be many more nominations to the stake by parties
re ho misundersuood its conditions when first advertised.
Stallion owners should realize that stakes are the very
life of the breeding business, as they give colts an earn-
ing capacity that they can acquire in no other way
When the advertisement of the re-opening of the
Special Harness Stallion Stake appears, we ask every
owner to carefully read its conditions and to nominate
his stallion on the date set for closing. It is a duty he
owes his horse and the breeding business of the State,
not to mention his own personal interests.

SUPERINTENDENT COVEY, of Palo Alto, is very-
sweet on the two year old colt Alta Vista by
McKinney 2:11}, out of that great mare Expressive
2:12', at three years, by Electioneer. He is a brown,
fifteen and one-half hands high and a grand youngster
in every way. McKinney is the leading sire of his age,
and Expressive the best campaigner sired by Election-
eer, which should give the youngster every right to
trot fast and stay the route.

ONLY THREE STARTERS faced the flag in the
Thornton Stakes, at four miles, for which $3000
was hung up by the California Jockey Club last Satur-
day, and after half the distance had been covered by
these horses, the contest was over, and Siddons, the
youngest horse of the trio, simply walked in, winning
by forty lengths. Siddons was ridden by Jackson'

FIVE HUNDRED trotters and pacers are doubtless
in training in this State, and the number is very
likely in excess of those figures. From the delay in
announcements of programs, associations are only
jogging slowly and have not begun any fast work as
yet.

/CINCINNATI'S SUMMER MEETING is the first
^-J big meeting to be held over East this year, and
has two purses of $2000 each for the slow cla s pacers
and trotters and four of $1500 each for the
classes. Entries close Monday, March 31st. There
will be several other purses at $1000 to close later on.
Those going East should start in at Cincinnati. There
is a fine track there— one of the best in America, and
Andy Welc'i knows how to provide for all the wants
of the horsemen. P. M. Campbell is the Secretary
and his address is Station O., Cincinnati, Ohio. Read

Waxana Dead.

On Saturday night last the great broodmare Wax-
ana died at Palo Alto Stock Farm and was buried in
the memorial horse cemetery by the side of the famous
broodmare Sontag Mohawk, dam of eight in the list:
Eros 2:29', sire of Dione 2:07}; Sallie Benton (4) 2:17},
world's champion four year old in 1884 (the dam of
Serpol 2:10); Sport 2.22}, Sonoma 2:28, Colma 2:25},
Conductor 2:14',, Mohawk 2:15J and Serenata 2:25.

Waxana was a chestnut mare, 15.3 hands, few white
hairs between left eye and nostril, loaled May 27. 1878.
Bred at Palo Alto. By General Benton 1755, dam
Waxy (thoroughbred) by Lexington. Waxana was
handled in her two year old form by Doc Williams'
had considerable speed. Having been bred for a brood"
mare, she was stinted to Electioneer in her three
year old form, 1881, and produced in 1882 the bay colt
Woolsey, who was sold for 310,000. He is the sire of
Abeto (o) 2:10}, Nellie W. 2:15}, and five more in list.
In 1883 Waxana was barren. In 1884 she produced
General Wellington 2:30. He was sold for $6000, was
by Electioneer 125 and was the sire of Lady Welling-
ton 2:15i and two others. In 1885 Waxana produced
byElectioneer]25thebaycoltSunolo, soldfor$510. He
is the sire of seven in the list. In 1886 Waxana pro-
duced by Electioneer the greatest colt trotting phe-
nomenon ever produced, .Sunol 2:08} to high wheels.
In 1888 she got the world's record for three year olds
2:10J, in 1890 the world's record for four year olds 2:10J,
in 1891 the world's record for five year olds and the
world's champion record 2:08}, a success never achieved
by any other trotter in the world. These miles were
all to high wheel sulky, and crowned her the greatest
of her time, or of any time, as a champion. She was
sold to the late Robt. Bonner, of New York, for
$41,000.

In 1887 Waxana produced the bay colt Warrener by
Electioneer 125. He is represented in the list and
sold for 35000. In 1888 and 1889 Waxana was barren.
In 1890 she produced General Worth by Electioneer
125; he sold for 314,500.

In 1891 she was barren. In 1892 she produced
Worthier by Advertiser 2:15}; he sold for $3100.

In 1893 she produced Paora by Palo Alto 2:08}; sold
for 3500. In 1894, 1895 and 1896, barren.

In 1897 came the beautiful bay filly Sunolito by Ad-
vertiser 2:15}; now a broodmare at Palo Alto. In
1888 she produced Wesley by Advertiser 2:15}; sold for
$375. In 1899 Waxana produced the bay colt Memorial
by Mendocino; sold for 3185. In 1900 foaled chestnut
colt by Mendocino; foal died when very young. In
1901, barren. In 1902, dead colt.

Waxana had in all thirteen foals. One came dead,
another died very young; this would leave eleven that
lived to age to be handled and sold, with one excep-
tion, Sunolito, a young broodmare at Palo Alto. The
ten ot her produce sold brought $80,000, an average of
$8000 apiece.

Waxana was a great broodmare by that great brood-
mare sire of mares producing extreme speed, General
Benton 1755. Her dam, Waxy by Lexington, a mare
that produced Wave by Electioneer 125, a fast trotting
mare, and also produced Alpha, that game running
mare by imp. Hercuies.

The superior qualities of Waxana will make her
recognized by students of breeding as one of the best
representatives of Governor Stanford's ideas, that from
the right selected thoroughbred blood, action, form,
disposition, and from racing families considered, would
come extreme speed, and Waxana, whose dam was by
Lexington, has proved it, for she has produced the
champion Sunol 2 Rio ALTO.

Do You Need a Cart?

There were more McMurray carts sold last year
than all other makes combined. The new No. 30 cart
is a dandy and can't be beaton by anybody. The
Kenney Bicycle Company at 53] Valencia street are
agents. Take a look at these Bee for your-

self if they are not the best thing made for the money. ,

ALAMEDA TRACK is not as lively a place as it was
last year at this time, owing to the fact that the
heavy storms of February and early March have kept
many horses at home, but within the next week or two
stalls will beat a premium at the track on the estuary,
as applications for stalls are coming in rapidly. Mon-
roe Salisbury, whose judgment in regard to a training
track is about as good as any man'*, says it could be
made the greatest training track in the world for
winter work. All that is needed, in Mr. Salisbury's
estimation, is to cover it with the same silt of which it
is now made or any stood loam until it is at least a foot
higher than at present. That will place it above high
water mark in the winter time and then if there is
plenty of water used during the summer months there
is no reason why it should not De one of the greatest
tracks in America. It does not break away unless it
gets very dry and even then not nearly as bad as the
vast majority of tracks, while it can he trained on a
day or two after the heaviest rain. It is unfortunate
that it is not supplied with plenty of box stalls and
the necessary fences and buildings for a regular race
meeting.

Jack Groom, the well known trainer who brought
out the now famous Sir Albert S. 2:081 by Diablo,
trained and drove him in all his races and never lost a
heat, is now located at Alameda with five horses. He
has the Chinese Consul's good mares Sola 2:14} and
China Maid by McKinney. The latter is one of the
fastest pacing prospects in the country. She worked
a mile in 2:14 last year. Another good one in Groom's
string is a green trotting mare by William L., sire of
Axtell. She is a bay of that peculiar burnished copper
hue that is so seldom seen but universally admired.
This mare is the property of Mr. C. F. White, of Cos-
mopolis, Washington, and is one of the best prospects
in this country. Easter D.. a pacing mare by Easter-
wood belonging to Mr. H. C. Myers, of Vallejo, is also
in Mr. Groom's care and is being trained for the Cali-
fornia circuit. The pacer Denny Healy by Gossiper
2:14} is another horse that Mr. Groom will work for
the races. None of these have been driven faster than
a jog as yet but will soon be moved up and be getting
slow miles and fast quarters before long. Groom has
several others to add to his string and when the cam-
paign opens will be ready to get the money in several
trotting and pacing classes.

J. M. Nelson has a string of six or seven and some
of them "good goods/ The roan trotter Dan W.
2:17} is one that is expected to make a good showing
this year in his class and looks fit right now to stand
lots of hard work. He is a well built horse of the
rugged order and is game as a pebble. Richard S., a
full brother to Clay S. 2:13}, owned by Henry Schlosser
of San Rafael, has been in Mr. Nelson's charge but a
very short while, but is developing into a trotter that
ooks good enough for the 2:15 class. He is a tall,
rangy fellow like his brother and has a wonderful
flight of speed for a green horse. An eighth in fifteen
and a half seconds was trotted by him recently and he
did it so handily that Nelson concluded there was no
use trying to teach him any more speed and will devote
his time to putting the horse in condition to go mile
heats. Richard S. will be entered all through the
California circuit. Iloilo by Alexis, a horse that Nelson
has trained a little for the past two years but never
started is now a five year old and looks good enough
to take to the races early. He has shown an eighth
better than sixteen seconds at the trot and did it
handily. Princess Airlie, a mare bred by the late
William Corbitt, and by Prince Airlie son of Guy
Wilkes is a very handsome mare and quite a trotter.
She will be raced this year. Martha Washington, a
three year old filly by George Washington 2:16} is a
candidate for the Occident stake this year. She is
not very large, but is racy looking and has a very
attractive way of going Nelson has Joe Selby 2:26}.
but has not begun work on him. The horse looks
rough but stronger and more rugged than ever before.
A big seventeen hand green trotter by McKinney 2:11},
completes the list of trotters that Mr. Nelson is train-
ing. This fellow is about as big and rangy as any
trotting bred horse in California, but he gets over the
ground like a trotter. He trotted a mile to cart last
year in 2:26 and will be in McKinney rs 2:20 list barring
accidents.

and twenty foals this year and that he knows of
but one mare bred 'o the old horse last year that is
known to be barren. Altamont is the same age as
the great Onward and like him, one of four stallions
that have sired as many as seven in the 2:10 list. One
of California's most prominent horsemen said to me as
he looked at the great son of Almont, now sightless
and gray, but not bowed with the weight of years: "I
never had but three of that horse's get in my stables,
but they all took records below 2:10 and won two-
thirds of the first moneys in all the races I started
them in. A stud colt by that horse out of a high class
broodmare will be about as valuable a few years from
now as any horse a man can own.''

While at Mr. Nelson's stables I took a look at that
grand old hero. Altamont 2:26}. twenty-seven years
old this spring and still in business at the old stand.
When led out for inspection he came with bead up and
ears pricked and looked bejter than for several years
past. Mr. Nelson tells me he will have between fifteen

Pleasanton track will be the place where harness
horse admirers who can spare the time will congregate
every pleasant Saturday from now on until the racing
season opens. The trainers now quartered theie have
agreed to have their principal workouts on that day
of the week so that visitors to the town can be enter-
tained with the performances. Every stall at the
track is occupied at the present time and it looks as if
at least fifty additional stalls will have to be built. On
Saturdays the trainers propose to work out together,
horses of the same speed being matched as nearly as
possible and the miles rated according to the desires of
the train rs. There will be four or five of these match
workouts every Saturday, which will furnish a day's
sport that can only be equalled at the big training
tracks over East. As P.easanton is one of the most
hospitable places in California and visitors are always
made welcome to the best of everything, these Satur-
day workout days will doubtless draw a very large
attendance of horse lovers from this city and adjacent
territory.

Representatives of the English Government are in
this State looking for more horses for the British
army. It is to be hoped the farmers and stockmen
who breed horses will get more from these buyers than
they did from those who came before them. Califor-
nia should be able to furnish all the army horses
needed if a decent price is offered. A liberal commis-
sion should be paid to the Boer's cause by all who sell
hor=es to the British as they are the ones who are
creating the demand. More power to them.

Nutwood Wilkes will have to make the effort of his
life to win. It is very probable that Mr. Fred Gerken
who owns The Monk 2:0S}, the horse that wears the
crown of the King of the New York Speedway, will be
one of the starters for the cup this year, and Chain
Shot 2:063, The Abbot 2:03} and Lord Derby 2:06}
may also be named in the race. Boralma 2:07 is a
possible starter, and it may eventually result that the
Boston Cup race, without a cent of money put up to
trot for, will develop into the greatest trotting race of
the year. It will be a splendid testimonial to this
great American sport if such should prove to be the
case, and be proof positive that harness racing, unlike
the running game, can be conducted successfully
without the adjunct of gambling.

I see by the Western Department of the Chicago
Horse Review that Pat Lestor believes his horse Riley
B. 2:06} has a cinch on all the 2:07 pacing classes from
Wisconsin to Tennessee, and that "to back his confi-
dence in the horse he offers to match him against any
horse in the world eligible to the same class for $5000."
Here is a chance for the California pacer Sir Albert S.
2:08} to make a little easy money for his admirers.
There ought to be a dozen or so California horsemen
who would chip in and back the Diablo horse for this
amount to beat the son of Happy Riley. There are
many of us out here who think Sir Albert S. can beat
all horses of Riley B. 's class and do it easily. As Mr.
Layng has already entered Sir Albert S. in some of
the Grand Circuit early closing purses and will send
him East unless he sells him before the racing season
opens, the Eastern people will have a chance to see
whether the fast pacer comes up to the stories that
have gone out from California about him. We think
he will make good and perhaps go them a little better.

An Eastern paper suggests that farmers buy up tbe
old cast off thoroughbred mares, sold at the Kentucky
and other auctions, and breed them to Hackney stal-
lions. I protest. A farmer should never buy a cast
off of any kind, whether it is a thoroughbred or any-
thing else. In one case out of several hundred he may
make a profit by so doing, but all the other cases will
result in failure and loss. Don't ever breed a mare
whose career in the breeding ranks or on the turf has
been a failure and expect to get something great from
her. The theory of "thoroughbred infusion" in trot-
ters has had many a hard knock from the breeders
who have seleeted some old skate whose pedigree was
as long as the moral law, but whose performances were
entirely of the "also ran" order, to bre d to a trotting
stallion in the hopes of getting a game trotter or pacer.
Athoroughbred mare that hasshownalack of stamina
and gameness when racing cannot be expected to pro-
duce foals by a trotter that will be able to win long
drawn out races at the trot. It is a great mistake to
buy cast off mares or horses of any description with
the expectation of breeding crackerjacks from them.

Geo. H. Ketcham, owner of Creseeus, is getting a
grand lot of mares booked to the champion. Among
those sent him recently was Adabelle, a full sister to
Adbell (1) 2:23, being by Advertiser out of Beautiful
Bells. I would like to make a tabulation of the pedi-
gree of the produce when it arrives. It would be what
the boys call "a beaut."

It is reported from the East that Messrs. Fred Gerken
and John Scannell, of New York, owners respectively
of The Monk 2:08} and The Abbot 2:03}, are con-
templating hitching these two great geldings together
and sending them for the team records this year at the
Empire meeting. Mr. Gerken confidently believes he
can drive the pair in 2:08.

While there will be several big trotting events on
the Eastern tracks this year where the purses will
range from $2000 to $20,000, there will be none that will
attract more attention than the race for the Boston
Cup which has no money consideration, but is strictly
an amateur contest. This race will come off over the
Cleveland Driving Club's track, as that club now holds
this handsome trophy having won both of the races
thus far trotted with Mr. Devereux's great stallion,
John A. McKerrori 2:06}. The change in the rules
of the National Trotting Association will permit horses
to win this race without acquiring a record, and for
this reason it may be expected that there will be a
larger field of starters than usual and that the son of

I want to congratulate the Chicago Horse Review
management on the entry list it has received to its
Subscription Futurity Purse No. 8. No less than
1080 nominations were made in this stake at five
dollars each. This breaks all former records by 78.
The Review, which is undoubtedly the best horse
journal published, has done much for the breed iog and
training business by giving these stakes, and deserves
the support of all horsemen. May its Stake No. 9 get
two thousand nominations.

At a meeting of the Speed Committee of the State
Agricultural Society it was agreed last Saturday to
recommend that the Board re-open the Special Har-
ness Stallion Stake for foals of 1902, until May 1st.
The Board at its next meeting will doubtless endorse
and confirm this action, and aovertise the fact. Every
stallion owner on the Pacific Coast should have an
entry in this stake. The misunderstanding that arose
in regard to the former date of closing kept many
stallions from being nominated that would otherwise
have been named. As it was there were 36 entered,
which would have made the stake a good big one as it
would have had at least $2000 to start with before a
colt was entered. There should be a hundred stallions
entered. The great good that would result to tbe
harness horse breeding industry can I ardly be esti-
mated, but it would be very large.

The following item appeared in one of our Eastern
exchanges recently:

"C. A. Durfee, San Jose, has bought Miss Jessie
2:13j from Gilbert E. Morton, Kansas City, Missouri."

If the statement had been made that Mr. Durfee had
sold instead of purchased it would have been correct.
In my opinion Miss Jessie will be in the great brood-
mare list as soon as she has two colts old enough to
race. She has but one now — Cuate by McKinney, and
if he is not a fast trotter then such things are not to be
found. His name will be in the papers before another
season of racing has closed, and while he is Miss Jessie's
only living foal, she is a young mare and has plenty of
time to make a name for herself. The reason why I
believe she will be a great broodmare is because, 1st,
she is by Gossiper 2:14} that is, already a 2:15 brood-
mare sire with very limited opportunities. 2d, her dam
is Leonor 2:24, dam of two in 2:10 and four in 2:25 by
Dashwood. 3d, her grandam is the great broodmare
Durferine, dam of two in 2:25 by Echo, and grandam
of seven with standard records. Now, if Miss Jessie,
being a fast and game race mare with a record 012:133,
bv a fast producing sire, first dam a great producer,
second dam likewise, is not in line to be a great brood-
mare herself, there is nothing in breeding.

One of the grandest colts iu Southern California is
owned at Mr. M. S. Severance's Valencia Stock Farm
at Arrowhead. This colt is by Chas. Derby 2:20, sire
of three in 2:10 and nine in 2:15, and his dam is Bet
Madison 2:15* by James Madison, second dam Betsy
Trotwood by Abboltsford, third dam Alpha Medium,
dam of Katie S. 2:19} . This colt has two crosses of
Electioneer.

It Does Pay.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: The article
on "History Making'" printed in your columns recently
reached Judge Irwin St rat ton of Wichita, Kansas,
and so impressed him with the attitude of our citizens
regarding the education of our children, and the love
of fine stock, that he at once determined to move to
this city Judge Stratton has for some years been
one of the most painstaking breeders of horses in the
State of Kansas. He wisely laid the foundation for his
" breeding enterprise by going to Kentucky and Ten-
nessee to make his selections; from the former State
he bought of R. P. Pepper (the owner of the great
Electioneer stallion Norval 2:14i{) Norlin 24373, so per-
fect an animal in all the requirements of a horse, that
he has taken the first premium four times at the State
fair. Kansas. The blood lines of Norlin are the equal
of any living sire, his first dam being "Mandolin,"
registered in Vol. 7, sired by Onward, the greatest
living sire, second dam Phyllis by Egbert sire of So in
the 2:30 list and of the dams of six faster than 2:14,
three of whom are faster than 2:10, third dam Co-
quette by Pilot Jr., sire of the dams of Maud S., Jay
Eye See, Electricity, and 30 others in the list, fourth
dam Forty Cents by the great race horse Wagner,
thence tracing through an unbroken chain to the
original imported Barb Mare. The analysis of Norlin's
pedigree on speed lines shows him to be as rich in
speed inheritance as any horse living. Electioneer,
his grand sire is the sire of 160 witli records from 2:07-^
up 2:30 and all trotters but two', he has now 380 descend,
ants in the 2:20 list. Mandolin, the dam of Norlin is a
full sister to Pilatus 2:09£, and sold for $10,000 and is
standing at Louisville, Ky., at S50 for the season.
Mandolin is by Onward: he has over one hundred pro-
ducing sons and over fifty producing daughters, the
dams of over eighty standard performers. Norlin is
bred almost exactly like Bingen 2:09}. With the
opportunity he will have in his new home judged by
the laws of nature, he cannot fail to add greatly to
the wealth of San Bernardino county and the State Of
California. Electioneer was the only horse strong
enough in trotting instinct to sire a champion trotter
from a thoroughbred mare. Colts of Electioneer
breeding learn to trot without paying out more for
training than they are worth.

Judge Stratton is a great believer in breeding for a
purpose, he bought Norlin because he is sure to sire
trotting speed and then went to Tennessee and bought.
Hal Stratton, a half brother to Star Pointer 1:59} and
twelve others with records faster than 2:15. He is a
rich, beautiful bay with star and small snip — power-
fully made and looks like a race horse, and is very
intelligent. Col. Moore (Trotwood) editor of the pac-
ing department of the Horse Review, in an editorial
note said, "Hal Stratton is one of the best b/ed and
best individual sons of Brown Hal, he has 71 per cent,
of the identical blood that produced the world's
champion race horse Star Pointer, and the remaining
blood lines are nearly identical. I cannot imagine a
better cross on the Wilkes and other trotting bred
pacers than Hal Stratton.

Judge Stratton also has a herd of the celebrated
Miller and Sibley Franklin, Penn., Stoke Poges; St.
.Lambert family of Jersey cattle the finest he could
buy of the greatest importers of America.

$25,000 at Charter Oak Park.

The famous Old Glory meeting at Charter Oak Park,
Hartford, Connecticut, will again be one of the leading
features of the Gravid Circuit this year. A half dozen
rich purses are already announced to close on the first
of April, and are headed by the renowned Charter
Oak $10,000 race for trotters of the 2:11 class. This is
the oldest of all the big trotting stakes and has been
one of the big drawing cards of American harness
racing ever sioce it was inaugurated in 1883 and won
by Director 2:17, the great stallion that was after-
wards brought to California where he founded a great
tribe of champions. In addition to this great event
there will be five purses of $3000 each — the 2:19 and
2:30 classes for trotters, and the 2:09, 2:16 and 2:30
classes for pacers. The Charter Oak Park meeting
will be held from the 1st to the 0th of September.
Entries close Tuesday April l=t. See advertisement
for conditions.

"No barb wire'* is now a necessary statement to
make in every advertisement soliciting horses for pas-
turage. Scarred horses will not sell, and hundreds of
animals ruined by wire cuts have to be killed every
year to pu them out of their misery. The wire
fencing that is safe, has no barbs and does not injure
stock, is the brand made by the Lamb Wire Fence Co.
of Adrian, Michigan. It is the best fence that can be
erected and is the cheapest in the long run. You may
find a cheaper fence than the Lamb but you cannot
find a better one.

Leaders in 2:15 Speed.

[Chicago Horseman ]
As the success of the sire is now measured by his
ability to produce at least 2:15 speed, a tabulation de-
voted to the greatest sires of such speed cannot fail to
be of general interest. There are now no less than 33
stallions that have produced ten or more 2:15 trotters
or pacers, and Alcantara with 28 stands at the head,
an honor be has enjoyed for several years. Tho pre-
ponderance of Wilkes blood in this list of 33 sires forms
the feature of the table, there being 13 sons and five
grandsons. The first four, therefore, the four leading
sires of 2:15 speed, are all sons of George Wilkes, then
follows the greatest of the Hal tribe, Brown Hal, with
his great number of pacers, after which come five
more representatives of the Wilkes family: in short, of
the first* fifteen ten are sons and one a grandson of
George Wilkes. Onward and Baron Wilkes each have
sixteen trotters in the 2:15 list, and Brown Hal leads as
a sire of pacers with 21. Electioneer is the only sire
whose entire list consists of trotters. The majority of
developed sires which constitute the list is also a
feature, 23 of the 33 having records below 2:30, of
which two, Allerton and Direct, are in the 2:10 list,
two others, McKinney and Brown Hal, in the 2:15 list,
and a total of 15 in the 2:20 list. The youngest sire in
the list is McKinney, notwithstanding which he is in
ninth place. At the age of 14 years he has 18 in the
2:15 list. At the same age Alcantara, the champion
sire of 2:15 performers, had one only, though he was
the sire of 41 in the list at that time. The table of the
sires of ten or more follows:

nineteen are found which enter the more select table
Nutwood is again at the head, but he had a lead of
only one over Red Wilkes, who, as the table of dams
shows, is rapidly coming to the front as the sire of
2:15 dams. Onward is third, and of him it can be said
that his daughters have only started as producers of
extreme speed. It is a fact too plain to be overlooked
that after Nutwood the next four in this select table are
sons of George Wilkes after which comes George
Wilkes; also that this table of nineteen names contains
George Wilkes and ten of his sous, as follows:

As is generally known, Nutwood has a long leau over
all stallions as the champion broodmare sire, but it is
no greater than bis lead over all other stallions as the
sire of the greatest number of 2:15 speed producers.
His daughters have produced a total of 36 in this list,
and the nearest him are Red Wilkes and George
Wilkes with 26 each. In this table Kentucky Prince
with 13 is the only sire whose entire representation
consists of trotters, and Electioneer, who was the
"only" in the previous table, is credited with as many
pacers as trotters. The table of 2:15 producing dams
consists largely of the sons of Hambletonian, who is
represented in the table of sires of 2:15 performers by
only Electioneer acid St rath more. In the list of dams
he has seven sons, four grandsons and three great
grandsons, a total of 14 out of a grand total of 20 in
the list. The table follows:

Getting in Shape at Hollister.

The Directors of the San Benito County Agricultural
Association held a meeting last Friday afternoon. The
newly appointed Directors, Geo. E. Shaw, A. G. Wil-
son and William Higby, were seated, and Robert I-
Orr and J H. Scbolefield, who were re-appointed,
were also present.

The officers were elected for the ensuing year as fol-
lows: R. I. Orr. President; Geo. E. Shaw, Vice-
President: A. D. Shaw, Secretary; William Higby,
Treasurer.

There was considerable enthusiasm displayed over
the promising outlook for the fair and race meeting to
be held this fall, and a speed program committee was
appointed to meet with a committee from the Salinas
Association, April 8th, and arrange dates for both
meetings.

The race track at Hollister is in fine condition, and
the lessee, Joe Sanchez, has a string of very promising
young horses at work. Y black two year old by Alto
Rio out of Nellie Nutwood, the dam of Uncle Johnny
2:19|, is doing wonders at the trot. This colt is owned
by Geo. Shaw and is entered in both the Stanford and
Occident Stakes for next year, besides the stakes to be
trotted at Salinas and Hollister this fall.

Another promising youngster is a three year old
belonging to Mr. Lathrop. This is a trotter and is by
Prince Airlie, the son of Guy Wilkes that went to
South Africa. The colt's dam is Susie Hunter (dam
of Lalla Wilkes 2:26) by Arthurton. This colt is
entered in all the local stakes.

The bay pacing stallion Dictatus Medium 2:27] is
also in Mr. Sanchez' hands. This large and handsome
young horse is expected to be a strong candidate for
the 2:10 class this year. He is by Dictatus 2:17 out of
Belle Medium 2:20, the dam of Stam B. 2:11].

A very promising filly by Benton Boy will soon be
placed in Mr. Sanchez' hands to be trained for the
races this year and she is expected to be a money
winner.

The recent rains have made all the farmers and
stock breeders in San Benito county happy and they
expect a very prosperous year.

Well Worth Trying,

$5 a bottle looks like a pretty stiff price for a horse
remedy but if it will absolutely cure a splint, spavin,
curb or ringbone, it is well worth the money and when
a large and thoroughly reliable concern like the Troy
Chemical Company, puts a remedy on the market and
gives a positive written guarantee with each sale,
under the seal of the Company, that their "Save-the-
Horse" will effect an absolute euro of these ills. Etta
worth trying. Their advertisement will be found on
the second page of this issue and it explains what the
remedy is, what it will do and their guarantee. They
also manufacture Veterinary Pixine, a most healing
and soothing antiseptic ointment which soon effects a
cure of scratches, grease heel, mud fever, hoof rot and
speed cracks and heals hopple chafes, galls, inflamma-
tory swellings, sores and all skin diseases.

Neernut 2:12 i 4 at Los Angeles.

Neernut, the son of Albert W. 2:20 by Electioneer,
and Clytie II by Nutwood, will not be kept at his
owner's home at Santa Ana this year, but will devote
all his time in the stud at the Los Angeles track.
Neernut has been in Los Angeles since Christmas and
until recently his owner, Mr. Geo. W. Ford, did intend
to keep the horse at Santa Ana a part of the time this
season. But since there will now be plenty of pastur-
in Los Angeles, Mr. Ford has decided to leave the
horse there altogether and will take his own brood
mares there. Mr. Ford has booked mares from all
over Southern California, and a number from the
northern part of the state, and as an evidence that
Orange county is beginning to wake up to the import-
ance of the best in breeding, a great many mares will
be sent from there as well, and in anticipation of this
arrangements have been made by Mr. Ford to supply
good pasturage near the Los Angeles race track at a
reasonable price. Neernut is one of the mort fashion-
ably bred stallions in the world. The Year Book just
issued (No. 17) places George Wilkes at the head of all
speed progenitors with 2656 standard performers to
his credit in two generations — that is, those sired by
him and by his sons and daughters number that
many. Hambletonian 10, the founder of the great
family comes nest with 1815, Electioneer follows third
with 1205 and Nutwood is fourth with 1042. No other
stallion has as many as 800 in the first two generations.
Neernut has none of the Wilkes blood, but his sire
is a great producing son of Electioneer and his dam a
great broodmare by Nutwood. II the plan of keeping
to the top is adopted this year by the breeders of Cali-
fornia they will breed their Wilkes mares to a stallion
like Neernut and thus have the four best families in
the world represented in the resultant foals, as Ham-
bletonian 10 is the sire of both Electioneer and Geo.
Wilkes.

Neernut is a wonderfully fast horse, as his record of
2:12} shows. He is one of the sort that trained on,
having reduced his record annually for four years
until he set it at its present low notch. He also pro-
duces the kind that train on. His daughter Neeretta
2:091, the first of his get to be trained, reduced her
record every year for three years and was sold for a
big price to European parties and is still raci g over
there, being one of the largest money winners of last
year in Austria. Last week at the matinee of the Los
Angeles Driving Club, Cocoanut, a green Neernut colt
beat three old matinee horses handily in a race in 2:221,
much to the surprise of all the talent there, as they
knew he was a decidedly green one. Cocoanut was
raised on a salt grass pasture and was never in a Darn
or knew the taste of hay or grain until last August,
when a halter was placed on him for the first time.
He was hitched to a breaking cart a few times and
taken to Los Angeles last Christmas. He can now
step a quarter in 32 seconds and an eighth in 15 sec-
onds. While the get of Neernut old enough to train
are very few, as he has been in the stud regularly only
during the past three years, they are all fast without
exception.

Neernut has all the qualifications of a sire. He was
a fast, game race horse and has a low record. His
breeding cannot be surpassed. He is a fine individual,
having size, style and splendid action. His get are all
good gaited and fast, showing that he is able to repro-
duce with uniformity the good qualities he possesses.
All speedy sires are by no means likely to beget race
horses, as some of the most promising prospects are
unable to train on, and the owner's trouble and ex-
pense are often thrown away in developing a three
year old, which it trials promised to be a world beater,
but in the actual test of speed and endurance from
some unaccountable cause, fails to rise above the
standard of a second or third rater. The reason, how.
ever is simple, as just as sure as like begets like, the
sire with some inherent weakness wi'l transmit that
defect to his progeny and vice versa, the horse with
sound constitution, pronounced speed, and a line of
record making ancestors is a pretty safe proposition
to bank on as a sire of racing stock. And Neernut is
of this latter class, for as the records show, he was
raced until he was ten years old and is to-day in as
good condition, sound and straight as ever in his life.

Sale of Anzella 2:10 1-2.

This, the greatest money winning mare on the Cali-
fornia circuit of 1901, has become the property of the
Santa Rosa Stock Farm, consideration being in part a
McKinney colt out of the great Stamboul-Simmons
mare Bonsilene 2:14} (half-sister to Bonnie Dire.::
Eversioce this celebrated stock farm lost the great
mare Janice 2:08J, the owners have been looking for
1 ne to take her place and believe they have found one
in Anzella. She will be oxercised henceforth by
Miliard Sanders, the famous reinsman at Pleasanton,
with the'balance of the Santa Rosa string as follows:
Oolly Dillon 2:07, Bonsilene 2:14}, Almareta 2:25 (win-

ner of Stanford Stake, Sacramento, 1901, a daughter
of L. W. Russell), Lou Milton by Sidney Dillon (an-
other Dolly Dillon), Stamboulita 2:28 by Stamboul,
Pansy Russell by L. W. Russell, and many other
youngsters.

It looks as though the Santa Rosa Stock Farm has
the greatest aggregation of trotting material on the
Pacific Coast. On their farm near Santa Rosa they
have as premier stallions L. W. Russell, son of Stam-
boul 2:071 and Bye Bye by Nutwood 2:18|, the $10,000
sister to the great Lockheart 2:081, and Sidney Dillon
by Sidney are siring many fast and level-headed trot-
ters that seem to have inherited all the qualities which
horsemen are looking for. Aside from these the three
great California sires which were liberally patronized
in the past, viz: McKinney 2:11}, Diablo 2:09} and
Direct 2:051 and the produce from these sires, and the
great broodmares there will make this farm the Mecca
to which all horsemen seeking first class material for
track or road will turn.

News From the North.

State Board of Agriculture.

Sacramento, March 16 — At a postponed meeting
of the directors of the State Board of Agriculture to-
day the following directors were present: Spreckels,
Rush, Paine, Johnson, Mackey and Covey.

Superintendent Grove L. Johnson was authorized to
make such repairs as were imperative at the paviliOD,
owing to the damage caused by the late storm. Com-
munications were received in the matter of furnishing
to the State Board of Agriculture free of cost suitable
sites for exhibition and fair giounds outside of Sacra-
mento, with all necessary buildings.

Henry Berrar of San Jose was selected as judge of
the poultry department for the next fair. The direc-
tors, realizing the great possibilities for profit in Cali-
fornia in producing the poultry and eggs that are
required for home consumption, propose making this
department and the dairy industry leading features at
the next fair.

The harness stallion stake for 1903, which closed
February 15th, was re-opened for entries to be received
to May 1, 1902.

The running stallion stake of 1903, for foals of 1901,
has been extended to May 1, 1902.

Most of the business of the session, which was exec
utive, was transacted without a quorum, and will be
indorsed at the next regular meeting of the board.

Draught Stallions at Rio Vista.

The breeding season is now fairly launched and lovers
of fine horses are discussing the merits of the different
breeds.

McCormack Bros., of Rio Vista, have lately pur-
chased a three year old Shire horse. He is one of the
number imported by J. B. Haggin from England last
winter. The animal is a perfect specimen of the Shire,
a beautiful coal black with faultless limbs and strong
body, standing 16 hands high and will weigh upward
of 1600 lbs. He will serve a limited number of mares
this season.

Cyrus Noble., owned by tho same parties, is as usuaj
held in high esteem by breeders and while many are
desirous of introducing new blood, the progeny of this
stallion and the well known merits of the Norman
Percheron are sufficient to induce many owners to
breed their mares io this horse, consequently he will
have all he can attend to.

These stallions are standing at the low figure of $20
to insure, and as Rio Vista is a very convenient place
to ship mares to, being on the Sacramento river and
reached by steamer daily, breeders will have no trouble
in shipping their mares to these horses. McCormack
Brothers place mares from a distance on good pastur-
age at the low price of one dollar per month.

Young Zombros at Los Angeles.

Italia 2:231, the filly by Zombro 2:11 that won the
Occident Stake last year, and was sold recently to Mr.
W. P. Murray of Cleveland, trotted a mile last Mon-
day at Los Angeles in 2:23, last quarter in 31 seconds.
She will be sent east to Mr Murray in May.

Col. E. L. Mayberry's five year old Zjmbro mare
that is being trained by P. W. Hodges at Los Angeles,
stepped a mile in 2:26 on Tuesday of this week, first
quarter in 34 and last quarter in 33 seconds.

Mr. Willets of Los Angeles bred his fine mare Helen
Dunlap .to Zombro last week. She is a full sister to
the trotting mare Jean 2:11 by Ellerslie Wilkes 2:221,
and is out of Nadine by Mambrino Russell, second dam
Wand by Strathmore, third dam by Solicitor, son 0^
Belmont 64, fourth dam by Mambrino Chief 11. This
is very choice breeding and Mr. Willets should get
something good by Zombro from her.

There are several young Zombros at Los Angeles
that are just being taken in hand to be trained and
without exception they are moving well and look like
fast prospects.

[Portland Rural Spiritjtfarch 14.]

Horsemen who intend racing on the North Pacific
circuit need have no fear about classes. There will be
a purse from the three-minute class to the free-for-all
at most every meeting.

A. C. Lohmire had the misfortune to lose a very
promising colt by Lovelace 2:10 out of his Altamont
mare. This youngster was only a week old, but had
the two-minute mark stamped on the imagination of
its owner very thoroughly.

Jim Misner is jogging T. D. Condon's horses anS
will soon open a stable at Irvington for actual training.
He will haveT. D. C, Zombro C, Alma Mack, Weary
Willie and Heterogenous.

Thos. S. Griffith, of Spokane, has bought the young
stallion Gry Falcon by Zombro 2:11 out of Lyla 2:27,
full sister to Cbehalis 2:04}, Del Norte 2:08, Touchet
2:15, Tennio 2:19}, Claymont 2:27 and Coquette 2:30 by
Altamont 3600; second dam Tecora, dam of all the
above and grandam of Vinmont 2:21, Althai 2:27J.
This is one of the richest bred young stallions in the
Northwest.

T. D. Condon is now the owner of that good Mc-
Kinney filly Alma Mack out of Mary A. 2:30 by Alta-
mont, having purchased her from August Erickson.
Alma Mack met with a slight injury coming down
from the farm, straining one of her hind legs, which
the veterinarian says is only temporary. In good con-
dition, she is one of the most promising three year olds
in Oregon. Some day horsemen will wonder why they
didn't buy her.

G. A. Westgate of Albany, Or., has sold his fine
driving team of mares to Geo. W. Haas of San Fran-
cisco. These mares were both sired by Coeur d'Alene
2:19$. One was out of Susie S. 2:18 by Hambletonian
Mambrino: second dam by Bellfminder 62; the other
was out of a mare by Alwood 972; second dam by
Bellfounder 62. They were well matea in size, color
and action, and were the first prize team in the Port-
land Horse Show last fall in a large field of entries.
Mr. Haas paid $600 for the team.

Sam Casto has moved from Vancouver, Wash., to
Fair Grounds, Oregon, where he will be pleased to add
to his stable a few more campaigners. Mr. Casto
takes with him Dewey, a green pacer by Del Norte out
of Carrie Fisher, owned by C. A. Whale; a three year
old pacer by Del Norte out of Little Maid 2:18; Starone,
two year old by Gerome out of Kitty Morrison by
Challenger, owned by Dr. Long of Salem. This filly
is entered in the Oregon Stake of $1500, and will con-
tend in the trotting end of the stake for first money.

Answers to Correspondents.

W. Parsons, Salinas— Geo. W. Archer 25,492 is by
the great Allerton. His dam is Tot, a very fast road
mare that was owned by D. S. Hammond of New York.
She had her record when he purchased her, but he
would not race her although it was known she could
trot in 2:15. Tot was by Columbus Jr. 6429, a son of
Columbus 95. Tbe dam of Columbus Jr. was Dolly
(in great broodmare list) by Morse Horse 6, sire of
Gen. Taylor, etc. Dolly's dam was by Vermont Black
Hawk 5. The second dam of Geo. W. Archer is Young
Maggie by Vermont Volunteer, and the third dam
was Old Maggie, whose breeding is untraced. Colum-
bus 95 was by Columbus 94 out of Black Maria by
Hambletonian 2, he by Bishop's Hambletonian, son of
imp. Messenger. Columbus 95 sired eleven with stand-
ard records — all trotters. Six of his sons are produc.
ers and eight of his daughters. One of the latter is
the dam of Abbotsford 2:191, sire of Poindexter 2:1 1 J,
She 2:121 and other fast ones. We should call Tot,
the dam of Geo. W. Archer, a member of the Colum-
bus tribe. The Year Book gives but one producing
daughter of Altoona — the dam of San Luisito 2:141.
Her name is Alta. Altoona has no producing sons
recorded in the Year Book. Erwin Davis is not cred-
ited with any producing sons or daughters by the Year
Book.

A Subscriber asks us to give the pedigree of th9
stallion Oxnard or Oxnut. We know of no stallion by
either name. The horse Oaknut 2:24} is probably
meant. He is by Dawn 2:1 S^, son of Nutwood 2:18J.
His dam is Miss Brown (dam of three in the listl by
Volunteer 1758, grandam Maggie Dale by the thor-
oughbred Owen Dale, son of Williamson's Belmont.

A Graxgeville Subscriber asks for information
as to Bessie Thorn. She has a record of 2:221, made
at San Jose in 1894. Her sire is Hawthorne and her
dam Bessie Sedgwick, a thoroughbred mare by Joe
Daniels. We have no record of a full sister called
Nellie Thorn. There was a mare by that name sired
by Hawthorne, but she was out of Jennie H. by Bis-
marck 67 and was bred by L. U. Shippee. If' now
living she is 16 years old. The stjry of her winning a
race at Sacramento six years ago, driven by the lady
you mention, and getting a record of 2:19 is probably
a fairy story. If such a race took place it was never
reported.

Notes and News.

Volume IT of the Year Book is out.

Charter Oak Park gets the Boralma-The Abbot
race.

Clipper 2:06 has been sent to Pleasanton and will be
worked by O. A. Hickok.

There are about 18,000 trotters in the 2:30 list, and
nearly 8,000 pacers with record of 2:25 and better.

McHenry says that one of the highest class pacers
he saw last year was Loconda, the son of Allerton.

Tbe British government is still sending about thir-
teen thousand horses to South Africa every month.

E. E. Smathers by his recent moves evidently in-
tends to be quite a factor on the big circuit this year-

J. B. Chandler thinks very highly of a two year old
brother to Peter Stirling 2:11.}, that he is handling.

A offer of $10,000 has been refused for Advertiser
2:15}. At the late sale he cost his present owner $5,300.

Allandorf 2:193, son of Onward and Alma Mater, has
been sold to Canada parties. He is twenty years old
and a successful sire.

C. L. Griffith will send Rect 2:16} and several young
horses by him and by Direct 2:05o and Directum 2:05$
to the Cleveland sale.

Everett L. Smith ("Percy") is no longer with the
New York Telegraph, but is furnishing the New York
Sun with his interesting horse gossip.

The Terre Haute Matron Stakes has $1,000 for foals
of 1902. Entries close April 14th. Don't fail to read
the ad in this issue and don't forget the date.

A couple of match trotting races are to be pulled off
over the track at Milpitas, Santa Clara county, to-day.
They are between horses owned in that vicinity.

Pleasanton trainers have decided to have their work-
outs every Wednesday and Saturday this season. On
Saturdays particularly will the fast work be given.

Terrace Farm, Titusville, Pa., has entered Zephyr,
the filly by Zombro 2:11, in the John H. Shultz $5000
stake for fc "year old trotters eligible to the 2:25 class.

Green Mountain Maid is the dam of nine trotters and
grandam of nine with standard records at that gait,
while four of her sons have produced 200 standard
record trotters.

At Santa Rosa last week R. Hogeboom's mare Yolo
Belle by Waldstein, dam by Clay Duke, foaled a colt
by Washington McKinney, which is a beauty and looks
to be a great one.

Ability to race is what brings the big money to-day.
A few years ago it was the pedigree that brought the
price. That is the difference between the boom days
and now, and the present gage is far the healthier.

It is said that an eastern man offered $6000 last week
for Sweet Marie, tbe Los Angeles mare by McKinney
that has a matinee record of 2:132- It Is said that Mr.
Taylor, her present owner, contemplates racing her
and declined the offer.

Anzella 2:10J worked a mile in 2:15 over the Pleas-
anton track last Saturday and repeated in 2:14}.
When she hits the 2:11 classes on the Grand Circuit
this year there will be some horse racing that will be
worth seeing if they beat her.

"Farmer1' Buncb of San Jose writes under date of
March 17th that he has bought the colt Marconi by
Boodle 2:12} out of Much Better 2:07]. Bunch has a
big string of horses at work and says: "Get out your
programs and I will enter liberally."

The trotting mare Letter B. 2:17} died at the Dunne
ranch near Hollister last week from the result of the
accident heretofore chronicled in these columns.
Letter B. was a good race mare and a good winner
when campaigned in this State from 1804 to 1807.

One of the handsomest and stoutest looking colts in
California at the present time is a two year old by
Altamont out of Nutwood Weeks, the dam of Ethel
Downs 2:10. When the stallion and mare were mated,
the former was twenty-four and the latter twenty
years of age.

S. H. Crane of Turlock sold a carload of fine mules
last week and a good team of horses at good prices.
Mr. Crane is one of the liveliest horse dealers in Cali-
fornia and seldom a week passes that he fails to
patronize the railroad company to the extent of two
or three carloads.

The Contra Costa Association will soon begin the
erection of a new grand stand at their beautiful fair
grounds at Concord and will also widen the track.
Concord's fair will be given this year on a larger scale
than ever before and the races are sure to attract a
large number of entries.

Dan W. 2:17}, the roan gelding by Live Oak Hero,
son of Director, was sold last week to an Alameda
county business man and will be in J. M. Nelson's
string on the California circuit. The price paid, we
understand, was $1200. Dan W. should be a good
horse in his class this year.

The six year old mare Rippling by Chas. Derby out
of Rill by Prompter, that was bred at Oakwood Park
Stock Farm and sold over East, took a record of 2:24}
last year at the trot and will be campaigned again this
year. She is being trained by W. F. Meyer at Cleve-
land and is expected to trot below 2:20 easily.

The handsome horse Motanic by Chehalis 2:04} out
of Maggie by Hamboy is now at the Morshead stables,
foot of Clay street in this city, where his owner, Mr.
John Wise, has him stabled for a time. The horse is
for sale and should find a buyer without much delay.
He is a fine individual and a very fast pacer, besides
being a royally bred one.

Those who go East will have a chance to start rac-
ing as early as July 1st. There will be a summer
meeting beginning on that date and ending on the 4th
at Oakley Park, Cincinnati. This is two weeks prior
to the opening of the Grand Circuit at Detroit. Six
purses, four for $1500 each and two for $2000 each will
close March 31st. See advertisement in this issue.

Mr. Thos. Lawson is advertising $500 in prizes to
the horsemen who select and register the most appro-
priate names for their horses during the year 1902.
Mr. Lawson evidently has no idea of entering the com-
petition himself or setting an example to others as he
has named a colt Dreamwold Poncelacy. The cogno-
men is a little too long and rangy to last through a
five heat race.

Dr. M. M. West and wife of Homestead, Pennsyl-
vania, who have been visiting California this winter,
drove over to Aptos Ranch from Santa Cruz one day
last week, and while there the Doctor saw Sandy
Smith work several of the young horses being pre-
pared for the Cleveland sale. He was much taken
with them and expressed the opinion that they would
be bid on eagerly when the sale took place.

It will soon be too late to consign horses to the Fasig-
Tipton Company's sale at Cleveland, which is to be
held in May. A fast horse that is well advertised and
can show all that is claimed for him at the sale will
bring more money there than can possibly be had for
him in California. Buyers with money will be at
Cleveland looking for the good things and they will be
perfectly willing to pay for such as come up to
representations.

Anzella 2:10^ has been sold by Geo. A. Kelly, of
Pleasanton, to Pierce Brothers, of the Santa Rosa
Stock Farm. The price, we understand, was $4000,
and Mr. Kelly took in part payment the yearling colt
by McKinney 2:11} out of Bonsilene 2:14}, daughter of
Stamboul 2:07J and Bon Bon, dam of Bonnie Direct
2:05} by Simmons 2:28. Messrs. Pierce have a great
mare in Anzella and Mr. Kelly has one of the greatest
bred colts in America.

Among the mares bred to Monterey 2:09} during the
past week are Jenny by Henry Patchen, owned by T.
D. Witherly, of Irvington; a bay mare by Boodle 2:12},
owned by Henry Hellman; Rosa Moor by Ross S., son
of Nutwood, dam by The Moor, owned by L. M.
Williamson; Polly, a black mare by Will Direct, dam
Junio 2:22, sire of Athanio 2:10. Monterey never
looked better in his life than he dees now and If he is
trained again will lower his record. He is one of the
best dispositioned stallions in America.

The Spreckels horses are not being worked to their
limit at Aptos. Sandy's instructions are to get each
one going nicely and to land every one in Cleveland in
May, sound and well broken, but able to be trained on
to show more speed than will be shown on the track
there just before the sale. Mr. Spreckels desires that
every horse sold shall be fully as represented and in
such shape that the buyer will be able to have them
still further improved by training. This is a wise
policy for any farm that is to hold yearly sales.

Major T. S. Griffin, of Detroit, Michigan, a lover of
the light harness horse, and manager of several East-
ern tracks, spent a few days last week at Green Meadow
Farm naar Santa Clara. While there he visited the
San Jose track and was surprised to see the sign of the
New England stallion Alcyo 2:10. After viewing sev-
eral horses he went to Alcyo's stall, and looking at
him, said: "He looks natural, and he is tbe greatest
horse of the East, as he never started in a race but he
sold favorite in the pools. He was the most thought
of horse amongst horsemen in Massachusetts."

There were many on the California circuit who took
such an interest in tbe performances of Sir Albert S.
that they sympathized with his owner, Wm. G. Layng,
when the game and level headed pacer earned a record
of 2:08^, claiming that his money earning capacity was
restricted, that he was out of the 2:10 class, etc. It
seems that nearly all the big associations on the Eastern
circuit have not provided for the 2:10 class as they
advertised purses for the 2:09 and 2:08 classes. Sir
Albert S. is entered and eligible to start in the follow-
ing, and his money earning capacity is unequaled by
an'v horse in California: Detroit $3000, Cleveland $3000,
Columbus. Ohio, $2000, Buffalo $2000, Empire City,
New York $5000, Baltimore $5000, amounting to
$20,000 in all. Besides there will be several big purses
offered later for classes he is able to start in which will
amount to from $3500 to $10,000. His owner says, and
every one who has seen this horse at work and on the
road' believos that he will be a free-for-all horse before
the season ends and will always be in the money. Mr.
Layng drives him through the city and in Golden
Gate Park daily. The horse never looked or felt
better.

Mr. C. H. Harrison of Los Angeles, one of the best
hotel men on the Pacific Coast and an enthusiastic
admirer of the trotting borae, has just purchased the
Hotel Rosslyn, one of the best equipped hostelries in
the country. It is located on South Main street,
directly opposite the postoffice and has all the latest
and up-to-date conveniences. It is conducted on both
the American and European plan, the rates being from
one to four dollars per day. Mr. Harrison sent a mare
back to Toledo to be bred to Cresceus 2:02} this year
and owns quite a number of high class roadsters.

The trotting bred four year old stallion Acorn,
owned by Cheney Brothers of Sonoma county, was
sold last week through an advertisement in this paper
to Mr. John Fleet of'Kamloops, British Columbia.
Acorn is by Oaknut 2:24}, he by Dawn 2:183, son of
Nutwood 600. The dam of Acorn is Nellie Whippleton
by Whippleton 1883, second dam by the thoroughbred
horse Bayewater. Acorn is 16.3 hands high and
weighs 1250 pounds, with plenty of style and action.
He will be a good horse for the northern countiyas
he comes from families on both sides that are noted for
size and style as well as speed.

There is a very silly, though general, prejudice
against the working of stallions in harness out of the
season, but it is all wrong The stallion that is worked
all winter long, and made to work good and hard and
plenty at that, being the while suitably and liberally
fed, will, other things being equal, get much stronger
and more colts than if kept up in a box and either
starved or pampered unduly. It may be accepted as
a fact that primarily oats, cut hay. bran and roots are
the best food for stallions in the winter — in season and
out of it. Barley, especially when boiled or steamed,
is also very good food for such horses.

The signs are unmistakable that tbe coming season
will prove to be one of the greatest in the history of
trotting sport. Every track in the country has claimed
dates for 1902. Some idea of the magnitude of harness
horse racing in America may be gleaned from the fact
that nearly 1,000 cities gave race meetings that were
officially reported last season, and as many of these
gave more than one meeting, some as high as seven,
the grand total of meetings was considerably over
1,000, and a very conservative estimate of the money
hung up by associations in purses will place the figure
in the neighborhood of $2,000. The announcements
already made show a tendency to increase the size of
the purses not only at the larger cities, but for the
smaller towns as well.

Tarlton C. Miles, a leading veterinary surgeon of
America and well known in Canada, England and
France, died at Charlestowo, 111., February 6. He
was familiarly known as "Farmer" Miles. He was
born near Frankfort, Ky., in 1825, and settled in Coles
county, Illinois, when twenty years old, where he en-
gaged in farming and stock raising. His methods in
equine surgery made him famous throughout the
United States. He conducted a yearly institute at his
home, which was attended by hundreds of young men
from Maine to California, and published a book of his
methods, that had a large sale. Pneumonia, with
advanced age, overwork and Bright's disease, caused
his death. Deceased was a deacon in the Presbyterian
Church, and had held various offices of trust.

That progressive horseman and live stock auctioneer,
William G. Layng, has purchased the fine large livery
and boarding stable adjoinging his place, The Occi-
dental Horse Exchange. His new purchase fronts on
Third street and extends 137 feet back to Clementina,
and includes 100 narrow stalls besides a large lot which
will contain 20 box stalls. Mr. Layng whl have room
to accommodate 200 horses and as it will be conducted
strictly as a sale and boarding stable, those who are
looking for first class horses or who have them and
wish them cared for in the best manner can be accom-
modated. Special attention will be paid to receiving
and shipping horses from and to all parts of the world.
Auctions will be conducted as heretofore and Mr.
Layng says he has a number of large sales to announce
in the near future.

Mr. C. X. Larribie, proprietor of the Biooknook
Farm, Montana, who purchased three mares at the
recent Palo Alto sale in this city, has sent two of them
to Tom James' horse Barondale, at San Jose. One of
the mares is Ella, four year old record 2:29, full sister
to Helena 2:11} by Electioneer out of the great brood
mare Lady Ellen by Carr's Mambrjno. Ella has a
very handsome colt by Nutwood Wilkes at foot. The
other mare is Anselma 2:29} by Ansel 2:20 out of the
great broodmare Elaine 2:20, dam of Iran Alto 2:12.1,
Palatine 2:18, etc., second dam the famous Green
Mountain Maid dam of Electioneer and nine standard
trotters. This mare is now heavy in foal to Monbells.
Two better bred mares have not been sent to any Cali-
fornia stallion this year, and that Mr. Larribie, who
is one of the leading breeders of tbe country should
select Barondale is a compliment to Mr. James great
horse.

The recent purchase by President Roosevelt of a
team of drving horses for $11,000 is of interest to horse
owners, because of the fact that one of the team was
bred and raised by Doctor C. O. Burke of Atlanta, 111.
He broke it at the age of four years and then drove it
on his professional rounds through the counties of
McLean and Logan. Hesold the horse to a New York
fancier for $475. The latter found a perfect match,
and putting the value of tbe Illinois horse at $6000 and
the other at $5000, received the price stated from the
President. The horse owned by Doctnr Burke is dark
bay in color, without a white hair or nd was

looked upon as one of the finest actors in Central
Illinois. When Prince Henry was in Washington he
was greatly impressed with the beauty of the team,
and learning that the Illinois horse had a brother in
Missouri, owned by a brother of Doctor Burke, he left
instructions to purchase it and ship it to the royal
stables in Germany.

HORSE TRAINING FOR SHOW.

Veteran Circus Man Tells of His Methods of
Teaching Animals Tricks for Ring
Performances.

[From Tlie Denver (Col.) Post.]
• Uncle" Dan Costello— the king of horse trainers,
old-time clown, showman, rider, athlete, and general
circus performer — is wintering in Denver, and was per-
suaded to come and sit before my grate fire on a win-
tery afternoon and tell me something of his days under
the tent and in the sawdust ring.

"You know," said the old man, "Charles Dicktns
wrote a pamphlet about me. He said: 'Costello is a
"marvel; he doesn't jump, he doesn't somersault, he
just flies.' That pleased me. He also said 'that I was
the only clown he had ever seen who was not a buffoon.'
I had a copy of that pamphlet a long time, but finally
lost it, and later, when in London, I went to every
bookstore in the city and tried to get a copy, offering
J1000 for one, but I was not successful. It was a small
affair, but I would give a great deal to have one now."
"I should think so. You knew Dickens, then?"
"Ob. yes; I met him three or four times, and he was
very much interested in my vaulting. I was then
champion of the world, and made a jump straight from
the ground, without springboard or run, over the
backs of sixteen horses, turning two somersaults at
the same time. Dickens came to see me, and it was
his story that led her Majesty, the late Queen Victoria,
to command a special performance, which we gave at
the Alhambra Palace, London, before her Majesty
and the Court, on the afternoon of May 8, 1S58.

"Performers in those days had to do everything.
For instance, I was a clown, but I also had to ride,
vault, take anybody's place who happened to be sick
or incapacitated, no matter what their line — in fact,
everyone had to be ready for anything when called
upon. Of course, we all had our specialties; mine, as
I've said, was vaulting, and I always ended my per-
formance with a 'leap for life,' when I dove straight
over the backs of sixteen horses until just at the last
one, when I made my double turn. Well, when I did
that at the special performance, their Majesties rose
right up Out of their seats. And later the Queen
ordered that I be brought before her, and she com-
plimented my performance.

■ "In the Winter of ISliS I went with Barnum and for
many years ran his shows. He was the greatest show-
man who ever lived. Soon after going with him I
bought a horse called Senator. He was one of the
greatest beauties I ever saw. A fine blood Circassian,
brought over from the south of Russia. He was jet
black, not a single white hair on him. He had a
wonderful mane and tail of fine, silky, straight black
hair, which swept the ground. The ladies used to
rave over him.

"I lost that horse in New Jersey. He was too sick
to travel and I left him behind. You know, it is one
of their peculiarities, no matter how sick a show horse
is, if you leave him behind he'll get out and try to
follow the show. Well, Senator got away and was
trailing after us, and, like a sick horse, the green
marsh grass looked cooling to him; he tried to get at
it, got mired, and that was the end of poor Senator.
The Governor of New Jersey had his truly wonderful
mane.

" One time Henry Bergh brought some ladies to see
me train Senator, and after that they came often to
watch the horses. ' One of them had been out to
Helena, Mon., and she wanted to know why I didn't
get wild horses off the ranches, educate them, and
bring them into the market. Well, it struck me rather
favorably. I went out to Montana, bought horses ff
Salisbury and some of the Indians — twenty-one in all-
took them dowu to Chicago, and then my troubles
began. They were wild as hawks, never had a halter
on them, and afraid of everything.

" It was the 9th day of November when I landed
them in New York, and on the 3d day of April we
opened at the Garden, and they went through their
performance without a break — and it was a wonderful
performance — a school scene, marching, drilling, a
rescue from a burning building, when one of them ran
upstairs and rescued a child, firing pistols, playing
dead — in fact, in five months they had learned all that
any horse had been taught up to that time, and went
through their tricks with splendid dash. It was the
hardest Winter's work I ever put in, and the first lot
of wild horses I ever broke.

"I've read everything I could get hold of about
horses and I've owned and broken and trained horses
from all points of the globe — Tartar, Arabian, Circas-
sian— every kind, including our own wild horses,
which, it is said, strayed up here from Mexico and are
descendants of the horses brought over by Cortes and
his band, and which had a wild strain of their own
from their Barbary ancestors.
"Oh — as to his intelligence. A man sometimes tells

you he has a horse that will do whatever he tells him—
lie down, come to him, go over yonder, turn around,
etc.. at order. Don't you believe him. It isn't true.
No horse in the world will do anything of the kind
without a certain amount of compulsion. Custom
daily custom backed by compulsion— makes the horse
do these things, nothing more.

"The Fire Department horse is accustomed by train-
ing to run into plrceat the sound of a bell, but suppose
the engine is in the street, do you think he will run to
it and get into place. Not by a long shot. He hasn't
been trained for that.

"As to his reasoning power — that's a hard question
to answer. Just where instinct leaves off and reasoning
power commences has puzzled greater men than I ever
expect to see. I feed my horse candy, he sees me
coming, and noses around my pockets. There must
be a certain degree of reasoning there. He associates
me and uiy pockets with the sugar and goes after it.

"Plain horses f re born to liberty and will often die
before they will submit to confinement. But I've
broken fifteen or twenty broncos to shoot cannon, go
through fire, and do all sorts of tricks, and after they
are once broken you can't scare them. You can drive
them right up to an engine where a domestic horse
will shy and they are perfectly fearless. Their eyesight
is better. Almost all domestic horses have defective
eyes, and they are the ones that shy and are afraid of
everything. Plain horses are skittish because they
feel good and want to play. The only way a horse
knows how to play is to jump and kick bis heels. Of
course, if he hits a dashboard its liable to frighten
him, and then you must look out — but because he runs
it doesn't argue that he's vicious.

"Let a carriage horse stand idle for a few days.
When he's taken out he feels like any one else who has
been cramped up, and he wants to run and jump and
throw up his heels. He's not to blame if something
happens then to frighten him — the blame rests with
the fools who refused him proper exercise.

"There is a deal of theoretical talk about how a
green horse should be taught. In my opinion, there
is only one way — you do it precisely as you teach a
little child, in the simplest, kindest and most attractive
way.

"Take a nervous horse and tie his head back by
passing a cord across the jaw and up over the back of
the head; he'll be in a lather in ten minutes from the
pain in the muscles where the head joins on the spine.
Then all the whipping in creation won't make bim do
anything.

"There is just as much difference in horses as there
is in children; you can't use the same method with all
alike; you must study the individual.

"Take the ponies I am training this winter. There
is Sappho, a little beauty, but a nervous little devil.
When we began to teach her to dance she licked all
three of us in one day. Did I whip her? Certainly
not. I said, 'she's frightened. Take her back to-day
and pet her up a bit; we'll try again to-morrow.' She
had jerked Otto Foloto, wbo was holding the cord,
clean off his feet, and he got up and dusted himself off,
as disgusted a man as you'll ever see. 'Dan,' says he,
'if you teach that lady to dance, you'll be a peach.'

"Well, I've taught her to dance until the best of
them will have to take a back seat when she comes in.
"Patience, good judgment, patience, more judgment,
and still more patience, and patience — and that does it.
"I have been torn almost to pieces by a horse that
was blindly jealous of me. I remember a big black
fellow, smart as a wbip, that I trained for a certain
act. I did it alone for a while; then I had a partner,
and I was to change horses the last half of the act.
I rode my horse into my dressing room; the other
fellow came in on his and dismounted, getting on mine.
As I went to mount the other man's horse mine caught
me by the waist and gave me a vicious bite. The 'en-
try' was playing, the act was waiting, so I bound up
my waist and rode in. As soon as my horse saw me he
grabbed me by the leg and tore a piece right out.
Nor would he ever allow me to ride another horse when
he was around. I've been scarred all over by horses
whose sole motive was a very human pique or
jealousy."

"Whoa, January."

"About 'Whoa, January? ' Yes that was my pony.
You see, Rarey had a farm in Ohio, and he went him-
self to the Shetland Islands for a lot of ponies. I met
him one day in Liverpool, and he said : 'Had a little
foal coming over; if you'il go down and get it you can
have it.'

"Well, I went and got it and carried it in my arms
to the hotel and up to my room. It wasn't more than
eighteen inches high, and the cutest thing you ever
saw. My wife put a lot of cotton in the coal box and
we kept it there, feeding it from a bottle. We named
it January, because that was the month it was born.
Pretty soon it could run up and down stairs like a dog.
"Tom Thumb and Hawes were both there, and they
plagued the life out of the colt until it got ugLyand

would chase anybody that annoyed it: then it would
scoot upstairs like all possessed. One day in the ordi-
nary the colt was being plagued. The table was set
and dinner ready for twenty people. He grabbed the
tablecloth between his teeth and started upstairs pell
mell, scattering dishes all along the way. Tom Thumb
laughed until he like to have died, and he and Hawes
said they were willing to pay for the damage all over
again to see the little devil go up those stairs But,
just the same, after that I had to take bim away.

"At the show I was doing a clown act with Hawes,
and him and me had a horse trade. He had a great'
big fellow and I offered to trade my pony for him.
"How big is your horse?"
" Oh, he's most as high as this tent. "
"Go away."

"Yes, he is. He's awful big and strong."
"Where is he?"
"In the stable."
' 'Where is the stable ?"
"Right here."

" And then I'd open a big carpet bag that I stuffed
the pony in and dump January .out on the ground.
The moment he saw Hawes, wbo had always plagued
him, he'd chase after him, catch the tails of his coat —
which were only basted on — and tear them off. Then
he'd rush around the ring with them in his mouth,
while Hawes would stay outside. It always made a
big hit.

"Lord Rotftrts, who was present at the special oer-
formancefor Queen Victoria, got up a bet at his club
with Baron Rothschild, who said that the mules were
fakes and could be ridden by a jockey he knew.

" Well, his lordship bet him £1,000 that the jockey
couldn't do it. Then he came to see me, and I told
him he was all right and could bet any amount he
liked on it. The result was that the whole club took
it up, and something like 420,000 was put up, and all
the sporting blood of the clubs came over that night
to see the English jockey tame the Yankee mule.

" Well, the jock saddled his animal cautiously and
got up with a flourish. Got part way round the ring,
then the mule stopped to consider. Mr. Jock dug his
spurs into him, mule went together like a jack-knife,
and a jock went hurling through the air head first,
into the laps of the people on the top row. When the
jockey came to, we asked him if be wanted to try
again, but he took one look a-t the mule where he
stood wagging his ears in convulsive starts of out-
raged dignity, and said he'd had enough."

The old man laughed at the recollection, and getting
up to put on his coat, said:

"Yes, I've had my day, enjoyed my hours of tri_
umph, seen my ups and downs. But I'm growing old
— nothing matters any more. I've seen it pretty
nearly all — London, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg,
Vienna. Rome. I knew them as I knew New York
and Chicago, in those old days when I traveled the
pace. Life was a great, a glorious game, and the
struggle to win, the battle for fame and fortune, was
what made it worth while. Now that I no longer
fight there is nothing much to it. Yes, I'm growing
old."

Los Angeles Club's Matinee.

An excellent program of harness racing was fur-
nished a large crowd of pleased spectators at the
matinee of the Los Angeles Driving Club last Saturday.

Mr. F. B. Taylor's little mare Primrose started dur-
ing the afternoon to beat her record of 2:09}, made a
few weeks since, but 2:09J was the best she could do.
The trial was made too late in the afternoon, and the
track was not in the best condition for the attempt.

In the free for all the pacing mare, Sweetheart, beat
the trotting mare, Sweet Marie, and the pacer, Monte-
cito, in straight heats, the time being 2:15| and 2:14.

The sensational race of the day was the mile dash
for colts, Geo. W. Ford springing a big surprise by
winning with his colt Cocoanut by Neernut in 2:22}
and doing it easily. The summaries of the races

Heno and the Figure System.

The remarkable exhibitions which the pedigrees of
the world's greatest race horses of 1901 fin-Dished in
support of the policy of inbreeding have been in con-
sideration during the course of a number of my recent
writings, says W. H. Rowe. Commando, Conroy, The
Parader, Banastar, etc., have been treated among the
senior division of our American horses, while Yankee
and Nasturtium have been specified among the juniors.
England has also furnished a brilliant juvenile illustra-
tion in Minstead, who, as I stated recently was de-
liberately bred "on the figures."

Despite the above really formidable array of illus-
trations, the list of available references has hardly
been begun, let alono exhausted. Another prominent
American juvenile of 1901, whose pedigree is an object
lesson with regard to the potency of inbreeding, is
Heno, with whom Mr. Clarence H. Mackay's "tur-
quoise and blank" captured one of the most valuable
and important two year old events of the season, Mor-
ris Park's Matroik Stakes.

Heno is officially described as being " by Falsetto or
Henry Young." I understand that he is undoubtedly
a son of Henry Young, and one can well appreciate
the grounds for Heno's racing ability when once an
examination of his component bloodlines is intelligently
prosecuted.

Heno's sire. Henry Young, is by Duke of Montrose,
out of Perfection, she by imp. Leamington, out of
Maiden, she by Lexington out of Kitty Clark, by imp.
Glencoe. Perfection. I may note in passing, is a full
sister to Parole, the "hero of two continents."

Heno's dam, Quiver, is by Faustus, who was himself
bv Engineer out of Lizzie G., by- War Dance. En-
gineer was by imp. Leamington out of Lida, by Lex-
ington. War Dance was also by Lexington, while
Lizzie G.'s dam was by Lecompte, he by Boston, sire
of Lexington. Here we have an inbreeding of imp.
Leamington, and triple Lexington inbreeding (with a
fourth line of Boston) between Henry Young's dam
and Quiver's sire. This is the most favorable placing
of inbreeding to create a "colt nick, " as I have so fre-
quently illustrated of late in these columns.

We must now note another phase of inbreeding
which is possessed by the pedigree of Lizzie G., dam
of Faustus. Lizzie G , as stated above, was by War
Dance, son of Lexington. The dam of War Dance
was Reel, she by imp. Glencoe out of imp. Gallopade
But Lizzie G. was out of a daughter of Lecompte, and
this horse was not only by Boston (sire of Lexington),
but was also out of the same Reel who threw War
Dance. Even more than this, however, we find that
Lizzie G.'s grandam, Edith, was out of Judith, she by
imp. Glencoe out of a daughter of the same imp.
Gallopade who produced Reel.

Bearing in mind all the inbreeding of LexingtoD,
Glencoe an - Gallopade which characterizes the com-
binat'.on of Perfection and Faustus, let us now analyze
the pedigree of Heno's grandam. This mare is Belle
Broeck by Ten Broeck out of Belle of the West by
Big Fellow. PbEeton's sire, King Tom, was a son of
Glencoe's greatest daughter, Pocahontas. Fanny
Holton was by Lexington. This gives us still another
infusion of both Glencoe and Lexington, but even this
notably increased strength of these strains is still
further intensified when we find that Big Fellow, sire
of Heno's third dam, was a son of War Dance. Thus
we have the Lgxington-Glenoe-Gallopade triple alli-
ance intensified. And then, as a finishing touch, we
find that Heno's fifth dam was out of a daughter by
imp. Glencoe.

It is incumbent upon me to now direct the closest
attention of all interested in the breeding industry to
the fact that the pedigree of Heno is another notable
illustration of the Figure Guide's principle for the
production of a successful colt — namely, by returning
to a stallion the best strains of his dam. I have in
recent writings shown that Commando, Conroy, The
Parader, etc , are unanimoasly in support of the prin-
ciple, and nothing can be more obvious than Heno's
demonstration of the same idea.

It has been found that Heno's pedigree contains in-
breeding of Leamington, Lexington and Glencoe — the
two latter in remarkable strength, and it is especially
to be noted that Heno's sire, Henry Young, possessed
these strains in hisdam alone. The four grandparents
of Henry Young's sire, Duke of Montrose, were imp.
Australian, imp. Cicely Jopson, imp. Bonnie Scotland
and Sister Ruric. There is no Leamington, Lexington
or Glencoe about this quartette, but just a connecting
link (so to speak) with the remainder of the pedigree
in the fact that Levity's fourth dam, Lady Grey, was
also the third dam of Lexington.

Henry Young's dam, however, was by imp. Leam-
ington out of a Lexington mare, grandam by imp.
Glencoe. These are the lines which constitute such a
great percentage of Heno's inbred blood, and I am
thoroughly confident that neither student nor general
reader will now gainsay my right to claim the Matron

winner of 1901 as a genuinely powerful addition to my
previous list of great winners, whose pedigrees not
only endorse the policy of inbreeding, but also give
unequivocal support to the principle of returning to a
stallion the best strains of his dam.

Butte Driving Club.

fButte, Mont , News ]

At a meeting held in Butte last Thursday evening,
what is to be hereafter known as the Butte Driving
Club, wa3 organized and fairly started on a promising
career among the sport-giving organizations of the
Northwest. The club has the backing and member-
ship of many of the very best residents in Butte, and
every indication points to a successful season during
the coming summer months. At the meeting the
following officers were elected: C. W. Clark, Presi-
dent; F. E. Shaw, Vice-President; F. H. Coney, Sec-
retary; W. B. Hamilton, Treasurer. The Board of
Directors consists of Dr. T. B. Moore. James T. Fin-
len, Donald B. Gillis, Joseph Lutey, Jr.: Race Com-
mittee, William Gemmell, W. J. Kennelly and Dr. J.
D. McGregor.

The admission to the club is $25, payable at the time
membership card is issued, and all persons are eligible
who are not professional drivers.

A lease has been obtained on the inside track of the
race track, and matinee races will be given at stated
times. There will be no purses, entrance fees or dues
of any kind, and everything will be conducted on the
strictest amateur basis:

About 40 members have already signed the member-
ship roll, and it is expected the list will be over 100.
The club is composed of the following members: Don-
ald B. Gillis, W. B. Hamilton, A. M. Carr, F. E.
Shaw, Dr. J. D. McGregor, William Gemmell, F. A,
Ironsides, J. C. Strong, Dennis O'Neill, John Hoy, Lou

Matter. Charles McGarvey, W. J. Kennelly, Charles
W. Clark, W. A. Clark, Jr., B, H. Dunshel, J. E.
Smith, Dr. Mclntyre, F. H. Cooney, Dr. T. B. Moore,
James T. Finlen, Silas F. King, G. O. McFarland,
Marco J. Med in, F. M. Grady, J. N. Nevells, William
Luxton, D. C. Smith, P. A. Breen, Elroy Smith, J. R.
Ried, R. E. Taylor and Charles Lane.

The people of Butte do not realize the number of
fine horses with records that are being driven on the
streets of this city every day The following list will
give some idea of the horses that are owned by mem-
bers of the club, and will take part in the matinee
races:

Charles W. Clark's Orphan Dick 2:17, W. J. Ken-
nelly's Erudition B. 2:19J, James T. Finlen's Tuttle
2:30, F. E. Shaw's Christobelle 2:19, Charles McGar-
vey's Howell 2:16], F. A. Ironsides' Almax 2:18, Dennis
O'Neil's Caption 2:16 trial, Silas King's Caption P.
2:22, Elroy Smith's Idol 2:19, Exuberant 2:25, Dr. T.
B. Moore.s On Trial 2:26], W. A. Clark's (Jr.) Master-
Del Mar 2:20, Mar Boy 2:19, Will Lane 2:13] trial,
William Kane's pacer 2:20, D. C. Smith's D. C. S. 2:23,
Macco J. Medin's Black Tom 2:23, K. J. McRea's Tom
Burns 2:30.

Among the unmarked horses are some very fast
ones that some of the elder horses will have to step
very fast to keep up with. A few of the best are as
follows:

Dan Jacob's Poor Guest, Josep Lutey 's chestnut
pacer, Elias Seigle's Calsite, John Hoy's Prodyte colt,
Louis Frank's McKinney colt, F. H. Cooney's Colbert
colt, D. B. Gills' Don Angus colt, J. C. Strong's Ralf
R., Dan Elgie's Oderator colt, Dr. J. P. McGregor's
bay gelding, R. E. Taylor's ches'nut pacer, Dr. T. B.
Moore's Flavina by Daljarino, Java (Ginger), Lady
Lyons; J. R. Reid's Lans W., Alerton; J. L. Carroll's
Belmont filly.

The club extends a cordial invitation to all who are
interested in harness racing to come forward and sign
the membership roll.

The Buffalo Meeting in August.

Next Monday is the day for closing entries for the
Buffalo Driving Club's great meeting. Those who
expect to race east of there on the Grand Circuit
should realize the necessity of giving their horses
actual work in races before starting against the crack-
er jacks they will meet at Readville, Providence, Hart-
ford and Brighton Beach. The Buffalo purses, which
close next Monday, are six in number— three for trot-
ters and three for pacers. The Electric City Stake is
for trotters of the 2:24 class and $50(10 is the amount.
There is $2000 for the 2.:12 class trotters and the same
amount for 2:18 class trotters. The chief pacing event
is the Frontier Stake for $5000 and is for the horses
eligible to the 2:24 class. The 2:08 class and the 2:14
class pacers have stakes of $2000 each. Besides these
rich events there will be six additional large purses
given for trotters and pacers of different classes, and
the Buffalo meeting is sure to be one of the largest
on the Grand Circuit. Monday, March 24th, is the
day for closing the six stakes already announced and
those who intend campaigning on the Grand Circuit
cannot afford to let the day go by without making
entries. See the advertisement in this issue.

It takes quite a bunch of money to buy a ready-
made race horse these days.

VETERINARY DEPARTMENT.

CONDUCTED BY

WM. F. EGAN, M. E. C. V. C, F. E. V. M. S.

Subscribers to this paper caa bave advice through these columns
in all cases of sick or injured horses, cattle or dogs by sending a
plain description of the case. Applicants will send their name
and address that they may be identified.

Poll Evil. — Would you be kind enough to diagnose
and give treatment for poll evil, if there is a cure for
ib.— R. N. S.

Answer. — Poll evil is a fistula, or running sore,
situated on top of the horse's neck, back of his head.
It is generally the result of an injury and necrosis of
tissue.

Treatment consists of removing, as far as is possible,
all necrosed, or gangrenous tissue. (This had better
be done by a veterinary surgeon, as the spinal cord,
which is to a certain extent open to injury, between
the bones, may be reached by instruments in the hands
of a man who does not know just what parts he is
cutting through. Injury to the cord is almost always
fatal.) And afterwards daily injections with antiseptics.

Injections alone, without operation, may in mild
cases result in cure, but if the bones become affected,
which is frequently the case, or even the "ligamentum
nuchse" (or ligament of the neck) diseased, the treat-
mennt will be long and tedious.

The general treatment should consist of daily si/ring-
ing out with antiseptics, keeping a free opening for exit of
pus, keeping the horse on soft food, such as at pastui e
or bran mashes and hay if in stable. Avoid burning
out with too strong a caustic (which is sometimes done)
and which may penetrate to and injure the spinal
cord. Remove all decayed tissue; do not keep on a
halter or anything that will irritate the parts.

If the horse be valuable, it would be better to call in
a veterinary surgeon who, after examining the parts,
may be able to give you an idea of the extent of the
disease, and by removing the necrosed parts, that
would take months to slough away without the aid of
the surgeon's knife.

Sixteen $iooo Purses at Glens Falls.

Those who intend racing over East this year should
carefully look over the sixteen $1000 purses advertised
by this association for its Grand Circuit meeting,
which will be held September 15th to 18th inclusive.
They are equally divided between the trotters and
pacers and ten of them are early closing events with
May 1st set for closing. These are the 2:10, 2:12, 2:14.
2:18 and 2:28 class trots, and the 2:08,2:10,2:12,2:14
and 2:24 pacing classes. In these early closing events
it only costs $5 to enter on May 1st. The other pay-
ments are easy and horses are to be named July 1st.
On August 1st, six purses of $1000 each will close,
horses to be named with entry. Glens Ealls will have
one of the best meetings on the circuit this year.

Fly-Casting.

The San Francisco Fly-Casting, contests No. 3 at
Stow lake on Saturday and Sunday last were the cen-
ter of attraction for a large concourse of interested
spectators. The weather on both days was fine and
favorable to the sport. We note the appearance on
the platform of John Lawrence and P. J. Tormey. as
well as a number of new members. On Sunday Mr.
J. B. Kenniff had the proud distinction of being high
rod in long distance and accuracy. Kenniff is rapidly
nearing a position that will make some of the other
rodwielders guard their laurels if they wish to retain
them. The scores made follow:

Fish Lines.

At breakfast it was rock cod: it was halibut at lunch:

At dinner barracuda was the name:
It was smelt or sole or something new each time it reappeared.

But the fish itself— alas:— was just the same.

Striped bass fishing in Raccoon straits has not been
good for a week past. The bay water is very clear
again, lhe vast shoals of herriDg are now gone and
the bass should readily take the spoon. We heard
this week that several bass had been caught at Bay
Farm island on Sunday.

Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda.

One wa} of preparing a trout line is the following:
Dissolve or melt some paraffin wax in a jar, put the
line in coils in it — having thoroughly dried the line
first — for a few minutes, wipe the line carefully with a
linen rag, and it is ready for use. The line requires
to be done several times through a season, but as it
only takes so short a time to do, it amply repays the
angler for his trouble, as a line thus dressed will float
all day. and a few cents of the wax is sufficient for all
the season.

A sight to make others besides anglers stop and
gaze with extreme enjoyment was the window of Cla-
brougb, Golcher & Co. this week. Rods, from the
lightest and daintiest split bamboo fly-rod to the
heavy, single jointed Noib wood tuna rod were in pro-
fusion. A three jointed steel rod with agate guide
and tip and wrapped from top to bottom with silk is a
handsome and powerful but pliant rod for striped
bass. Reels in profusion, flies of many kinds and the
best, leader=, tackle boxes, leather and metal. A new
invoice of silk and linen lines should be seen to be
appreciated. Some gaffs and landing nets are so ex-
cellent that one wants them even tho' he never should
go a'fishing. As for boots, stockings and other
apparel as well as numberless other things the angler
deems indispensable they can be seen in variety.

A very excellent pouch for carrying leaders, flies,
casts, etc., in, can be made as follows: Cut two circular
discs of skin, with the hair left on, and half a dozen
discs of wash leather the same size. Arrange the
wash leather discs one on top of the other, and the
skin ones at the top and bottom of the wash leather
with the hair outside. TheD have them stitched to
gether right through with waxed thread about an
eighth or sixth of an inch from the edge, half way
round. This will make a tackle pouch like the Paley,
(which, by the way, are good and handy for thepocnet,
cost little and can be found a. Clabrough, Golcher &
Co's.) only better. The raw edges of the skin at the
open part of the pouch can be edged with braid or
other suitable material. " I got a pouch of this kind
made with sealskin for the outside, and it has been a
great success, "says a well-known angler. "I used the
common hair sealskin, not the kind that ladies' jackets
are made of. This pouch was the idea of a fishing
friend of mine, who seriously thought of patenting it,
but found that some other somewhat and similar
patent tackle holder would invalidate his patent."

Who was the inventor of the very popular evening
fly yclept "the Coachman'"? This question was re-
cently asked, by a convert to the dry-fly, in the com-
pany of several expert fly-dressers — most of them more
or less entitled to the distinction of anglers. Not one
of them knew! Well, be it known unto all anglers
that the fly — which is now an acknowledged standard
pattern — was "invented" and first used by the famous
coachman, Tom Boswortb, whose pride it was to say
that he had driven three sovereigns — George the
Fourth, William the Fourth and Queen Victoria.
"Old Tom" was one of the old school of anglers; many
a time has he extracted fish from pools which have in
vain been negotiated by other anglers; and, be it
noted, he generally had to follow in their wake. 'Tis
said of Tom Bosworth that be could fetch the pipe
out of a smoker's mouth with his whip-lash as he
drove by one. At any rate, he knew how to put a fly
over a rising fish, as many a score hundred trout and
grayling learned to their cost. The Coachman fly. has
been "improved" beyond all recognition by modern
"experts," but Bosworth's dressing still remains, it is
claimed, the best — white wing, peacock herlbody. red
hackle, orange tag.

The following story is told by Dan Fraser who was
once fishing on a Highland salmon stream. He had
been intently paying his attention to a pool where he
knew there was a fine big fish; making cast after cast,
without result, for the salmon that had baffled all the
anglers. While readjusting his tackle and seated
some little distance from the bank, two other anglers
appeared on the scene, a well known Laird and his
gillie. Without ado, the Laird made a cast, and, to
Fraser's great disgust, he saw hooked, the king of the
poo], which after quite a long and gallant struggle
was finally gaffed and landed Fraser was an un-
observed and interested spectator, being too much of
a sportsman to allow his chagrin to prevent his enjoy-
ing the sight of a brother angler's victory. The one
thing, however, that struck him as being ludicrous,
and also made him feel the other's good luck was un-
deserved, was the following short dialogue, which was
the only break in the silence of the two while the big
fish was being fought:

Donald — "E — h, Sir, but that's a gran' fesh ye've
gotten a haud o'!"

The Laird — "Oo, aye, a gran' fesh eno, 'but I'd be
richt glad if I saw my twa and saxpenny flee weel oot
o' his mouth !"

The Slater-Bennett anti-pigeon shooting bill passed
the New York Assembly on the evening of February
24th by a vote 111 to 9 and entirely without debate.
When the bill was reached on the calendar Speaker
Nixon surprised everybody by ordering the clerk to
call the roll on final passage. The result had been an-
nounced before the opponents of the measure appeared
to have recovered from their astonishment. Then
there was a chorus of nays which were finally recorded
as follows: Brooks, Bradley. Ruehl, McKeown, Mc-
Ineiny, T. W. Fitzpatick, W. P. Fitzpatrick, Doughty
and Robinson. The bill now goes to the Governor
and ends a fight that has been briskly carried on in
both houses for the past two years.

Anti-pigeon legislation has also been started in
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey.

3r, will no longer alone enjoy the privilege of being
! Jght how to use his gun. The advent of shooting

hools will change all that.

Capital to no small amount has been sunk in the in-
tituting of a considerable number of good schools of
shooting, of which there are five in London, two at
Birmingham and one at Glasgow. Those near London
are the Blagdon School in Surrey, founded by Messrs.
Cogswell and Hartison; the London Sporting Park at
Hendon, founded by Mr. Watts; the Wimbledon Park
School of Messrs. Lang and Son, the Badminton School
of Messrs. Holland and that of Mr. Charles Lancaster
at his private grounds. London is now very well
supplied, therefore, with schools for shooting, and the
practical question coming up, would they pay? was
often heard at first. The indication is that they pay
very well indeed, even where considerable capital has
been sunk. At one school the whole of the instructor's
time is secured for months in advance. He has not an
available hour to give newcomers, except very early
in the morning or very late in the evening, and the
proprietor consequently contemplated withdrawing
from advertising for a time. Yes, shooting schools are
paying and will pay still better when every father who,
can afford it, recognizes that without a knowledge of
how to properly handle bis gun, his son's education
is incomplete.''

Goose hunting at Norman seems to be a much sought
for sport, last week two parties, one including three
Sacramento sportsmen, Frank Newbert, J. Brinker
and Will Geary bagged nearly 450 geese in a day and
a half; a party of local shooters, Fred Bushnell, John
B. Coleman, Frank Ireland and Chas. A. Palm of
Sacramento, also in two days, killed 620 geese. The
birds were mostly large and small brant, with a sprink-
ling of the "Mexican" goose.

Shooting Schools.

We heard one day recently a conversation between
several sportsmen in which the merits and proficiency
of several experts were discussed; particularly so, the
remarkable improvement of one local shooter, both at
the traps and in field shooting. This degree of skill
was acquired in but a few seasons' application to the
use of the shotgun. In connection with the argument
one of the gentlemen present offered the suggestion
that if most men were taken in hand and properly in-
structed, virtually at a shooting school, a surprisingly
large percentage of the novices would advance rapidly
in the art if handling and shooting a breechloader
properly. This idea has been proven to be fairly cor-
rect, for on the Continent and in England it seems
such institutions are in vogue and apparently well
patronized. Some five years ago the first school for
the teaching of shooting was an innovation introduced
in the world of sport in England, and from its incep
tion was looked upon as supplying a long felt want. Rid-
ing schools, fencing and boxing instructors, dancing,
cricket, rowing and swimming composed quite a list of
sport developing mediums which helped the English
youth to equip ior the battle of life; to these diversions
was added shooting, which in most countries, as in our
own, has to be picked up by the youths, as well as their
elders, as best one can, either from kind friends or by
dint of the experience which comes from obse' ion
and gradual application. In acquiring a shoo* '-

cation, the country lad generally has ha
advantage over his city cousin. He has •
tunities of getting educated in a knowle
shoot that are denied to the town brvv
of his other opportuniti"
the habits and ways o

Bench Show Notes.

The premium list for the San Francisco show is, we
regret to say, at hand this week too late for the ex-
tended notice it deserves. Entries will close April 12th,
at 138 Montgomery street, the kennel club office, this
city.

An entrv fee of $3 will be charged for each entry in
the regular classes, $10 in the team, $20 in the pack
classes°and $5 for the brace sweepstakes. For dogs
required to be listed a charge of 25 cents additional
must accompany the entry.

The prizes offered by the San Francisco Kennel Club
in all regular classes" are: 1. The club's new gold,
silver and enameled shield blue ribbon. 2. The club's
silver medal; or, when specially requested on entry
blank, $5 in gold, red ribbon. 3. The club's bronze
medal, yellow ribbon. Specials, as offered and red,
white and blue ribbon. Winners, the club's new win-
ners' rosette.

The list of specials published comprises six pages
and is an interesting one.

If more than one kennel of the same breed is entered
for competition in the team class, the judge of that
breed will first alone pass on their respective merits,
and the winning kennel will receive a kennel prize of
$15 in addition to any prizes it may win in the team
class.

Classes, regular and special, for 54 breeds, etc., are
enumerated.

We are indebted to Mr. H. St. John Cooper, of
Brighton, England, for a copv of his popular work
"The Bulldog Kennel Book and" Toy Bulldog Breeder."
Mr. Cooper was assisted in this work by Mrs C. F. C.
Clarke. The book itself is in great demand and
worthily so. To the breeder the work appeals with
much force, much attention being given to the im-
portance of careful breeding. The book deals with
everything the novice may wish to know about Bull-
dogs and Toy Bulldogs, how to house and feed them
properly and how to rear and prepare these breeds for
show purposes. Wecheerfully recommend the volume
to our readers. A copy can be obtained bv addressing
"Our Dogs," 10 Gore St.,'Piccadilly, London, England.
Price 1 shilling 8 pence, postpaid.

In a recent letter from Mr. H. St. John Cooper, the
well known author and Bulldog fancier, he says:

"Please except my best thanks for the copy of your
interesting paper, containing a reprint of my article
on Bulldogs in England in 1901. At the time the
article was written Cbinosol was in the land of the liv-
ing, but died before the article appeared in print. His
death was a severe loss to his master, my friend Mr. W.
J. Pegg, who had previously refused a bona fide offer of
one thousand pounds for him. The morning following
the dog's death a gentleman called at Mr. Pegg's place
of business in London and made him the startling offer
of fifteen hundred pounds for the champion. "I am
sorry, but it is quite impossible for me to accept your
offer," said Mr. Pegg "The dog died last night."
Whereon the would-be purchaser, an American who
had come to England for the sole purpose of buying
the dog, turned round on his heel and bolted out of
the place without a word. C'hinosol, well in the morn-
ing, died at night, after only a few hours' illness— pneu-
monia— he died standing, as a good Bulldog should,
with his forelegs well out. as periect a model of a Bull-
dog as one would wish to see, fighting lor his breath
to the very last. He remained on his legs even after
death and Mr. Pegg says that he would have stiffened
in that position had henotlaid him down on his side."

We note with much regret the loss by Mr. Chas.
Newman of his justly renowned St. Bernard, Golden
Lion, a dog familiar, we will say without exaggeration,
to thousands, residents here, visitors to the city and
tourists, who have been delighted and interested ob-
servers of the rare and exceeding intelligence shown
by Lion time and again at the Richelieu and in public.
The dog possessed a most amiable disposition and was
a happy pal with his master and family. To enumer-
ate the roster of star performances Lion was capable
of doing in a surprisingly clever manner would fill a
small volume. The dog was an attraction at his mas-
ter's place of business and seemed to take keen pleas-
ure in doing his many stunts. When Mr. Newman
purchased Lester C. another grand St. Bernard, Lion
showed by his actions, in an almcst human manner,
that the intruder was unwelcome. Later on when
Lester C., after a course of special instruction by New-
man, was made the star performer — Lion was over
eight years old and his rival was young and strong, the
old dog showed in actions and expression that being
supplanted apparently in his master's affections and
passed by the public was a hard blow and in fact he went
from bad to worse and literally died of a broken heart,
instead of heart disease. Upon numerous occasions
his owner refused liberal offers for Lion. Mr. New-
man and his family feel keenly the loss of Lion, in fact
so well was the dog liked that his master was the re-
cipient of many tokens of regret verbally, by letter
and wire.

Jack Bradshaw will have among his string of dogs
for the Northern circuit, Chas. Newman's St. Bernard
Lester C, Mrs. Thos. Magee, Jr.'s, Boston Terrier
Winner, J. G. Morgan's Champion Niola Daddy, Legs
and Feet and two wirehaired puppies. A kennel of
four Cockers, recently received from George Bell, of
Toronto, including Standard, Perfection and two
crack bitches, W. Feige's English Setter Buckwa, a
Boston Terrier bitch The Lady and several other good
ones. Bradshaw will leave here on the 27th inst.

Among the dogs promised for the northern circuit,
L. A. Klein enumerates, N. H. Hickman's kennel ol
smooth Fox Terriers, Chas. K. Harley's team of four
crack Fox Terriers, J. D. Spreckels Bull Terrier Banjo,

land from the Boston Show.

this week been so unfortunate as to lose bis Boston
Terrier Lady M on tez, Flirt, as she was called, died,
the veterinary, Dr. Steers, reports of a complication

The first number of the Illustrated Kennel Xews came
this week. The typographical appearance of the new
doggy journal is attractive and a perusal of its pages
gives one the idea that a first class kennel paper will
be issued under the guidance of Mr. George R. Krehl,
editor in chief, assisted by A. Croxton Smith, L. P. C.
Gstley, E. B. Joachim, E. Farman, Dr. Alfred Sewell,
H. H. Spicer and "Lady Betty." In his introductory
Mr. Krehl says: "On this, the first occasion after a
considerable interval, that I have the pleasure of ad-
dressing my readers and friends, I must express my
deep gratitude at being again able to thank them with
my own pen for the many tokens and expressions of
sympathy which I have received from home and
abroad during my illness. The reason why I am not
in a position to do so through ttie channels which for
so many years has been the means of my intercourse
with the kennel community, is naturally a subject for
legitimate curiosity. I wish to avoid touching on any-
thing which is not of public interest, but an explana-
tion is necessary. The time for 'whispering' is past,
and in justice to my constituency, to those who have
worked with me, and to myself, I must speak out. It
is common knowledge that when I took up the keDnel
editorship of the Stockkeeper, nearly twenty years ago,
the Kennel Department had reached the 'vanishing

Indoor Field Trials.

Olema, March 18, 1902.

Dear Breeder and Sportsman— In the ap-
proaching dog show— he who loves the dog and gun
looks only at the Pointer, Setter, Cocker and Water
Spaniel. " These dogs are the companions of the hunt-
er; on upland, marsh, fresh water ponds, on estuaries
of the salt sea: where the web feet swim and dive for
food and exercise.

In the last issue of your paper, an Eastern corre-
spondent bewails the taste that prefers the bench show
winner to the field dog. This writer advocates a
standard which shall consider field trial requisites as
essential to success upon the bench. The Monk of
Furness was both a field trial winner and a great suc-
cess on the bench. So was Countess Noble, one of the
fair sex.

My opinion ia that either a Pointer or a better
should be of medium size. In that such a dog is easily
transported in a wagon to the hunting ground.

I do not believe in a crate lor a dog to stand in. No
animal rests standing: the muscles are not relaxed,
they are tense. The mind is nor at rest: it is alert.
The dog sees too much.

For a o-ood day's hunt your dog must be rested in
mind and body." Next to size, give me good cat-like
feet, round and upstanding.

The San Francisco Kennel shows are held in the
spacious Mechanics Pavilion. The exhibits take up
the centre of this vast amphitheatre. Now suppose
at each end on the sides some brush was placed; some
tussock grass artifically arranged to simulate nature.
Then put a dozen quail' in the cover. Show the dogs,
according to age, turned loose, to point, to back, to
drop to shot, to work to right or left to the motion of
the handler's hand, would not all tbe indoor tricks of
the carpet knights of the sitting room fade into insig-
nificance before the exercises of the kings and queens
(if the field? One great drawback to our field trials is
that San Francisco ladies cannot be induced to make
the long trip required 50 reach locations hitherto
seleeted"for field trials. But let the fair patronesses of
the bench show see the Setter and Pointer in action
they will learn "to love me love my dog" to be an easy
task.

The value of a hunting dog will be understood.
Judging will be made easier and a new and valuable
feature will have been added to the San Francisco dog
show of 1902. Star White.

Fox Terriers of 1901.

Fox Terrier fanciers, of smooth as well as wires, will
read with interest the monographs of Mr. W. Glynn
and Mr. Francis Redmond in the English Kennel
Gazette. Some valuable ideas on judging and trimming
can be read with profit.

It is a somewhat delicate matter for me to undertake
this review, bearing in mind that terriers belonging
to my kennel have occupied positions in several of the
prize lists during the year, says Mr. Redmond.

Having prefaced my remarks on the smooth Fox-
Terriers of 1901 with this statement, I feel I have a
clear course, and any reference to my own kennel or
strain will be understood.

My impression of the smooth Fox Terriers of the
year just closing is, that they are a fair average lot,
but, that with the exception of Avon Minstrel, no
debutant of 1901 is likely lo make history, without it
is one of the very young puppies that made their first
bow at the Kennel Club's Show, at the Crystal Palace,
or at the Fox Terrier Club's Show at Cheltenham, in
November.

Taking the principal shows of the year in order, and
beginning with Liverpool, nothing of exceptional merit
came out there. At Cruft's Great Show, some useful
terriers appeared for the first time, but nothing up to
classic form. Following Cruft's came Manchester,
where Fox Terriers were welJ represented, but no em-
bryo ••flyer'' appeared. The next show of importance
was the Fylde Fox Terrier Club's annual gathering at
Blackpool, where undoubtedly the best youngster of
the year made his appearance, in Mr. F. Reek's Avon
Minstrel, who here could not get nearer than third to
Eagerman and Rowton Knight Marshal. He, how-
ever, had the satisfaction later, when served by condi-
tion and maturity, of beating these terriers at the Fox
Terrier Club's Show at Cheltenham, and subsequently
winning the club's 50 Guinea Challenge Cup. One of
the best young bitches of the year also came out at
Fylde in Lady Edith Villier's Grove Venus. The Lon-
don Fox Terrier Club's Show at the Crystal Palace
afforded some sensation when two youngsters in Mor-
den Blazer and Battles Merryweatber won in dog and
bitch puppies respectively, and also in several other
classes; in point of size they were good, and on the day
the latter was a promising puppy, but neither were o*f
the lasting sort and a few weeks later both had to give
way.

Ranelagh, although it brought together a strong
collection of terriers, did not furnish any new "flyer"
among the young entry, which we were all looking for,
and the Kennel Club's Show at the Crystal Palace was
the next important meeting. Mr. Doyle was com-
plimented with an exceptionally good entry, most of
the best terriers of the day being exhibited, and among
the new faces a quartette in Philip Christian, Glory
Quail, Vaidis and Dukedom may all be heard of in
future prize lists. Within a month came the Fox Ter-
rier show of the year in the Club's annual exhibition

at Cheltenham, where a record entry flattered the
judge, Mr. Walter Glynn, who kindly undertook the
position in the absence of Captain Thorold, who was
prevented by his military duties. Here Mr. Glynn
had the good fortune to meet a good JittU dog in Avon
Minstrel, an unhesitatingly placed him at the head of
every class in which he was entered, and ultimately
awarded him the Fox Terrier Club's Grand Challenge
Cup. for the best smooth in the show. I think Mr.
Glynn is to be congratulated in having placed this
terrier first, as he is undoubtedly the best small dog
we have had before us for some years, and it is a good
little one that judges have been looking for so long.
Avon Minstrel followed up his Cheltenham successes
at the Isst important show of the year (Birmingham),
where more than one good puppy appeared.

The foregoing reference to tbe principal shows of
of the year, and a few of the winners that appeared
will give some idea of the 1901 entry, from which it
may be adduced that, with the exception of Avon
Minstrel, no dog 01- bitch of extra merit appeared that
is likely to lower the colors of the existing champions,
without it be one or more of the- youngsters that cauie
out at the Crystal Palace or Cheltenham, and they are
too young to speak of with certainty at present.

As to the Fox Terriers of to-day, compared with
those of the past 25 years. I submit they show a great
improvement, both individually and collectively: and
to those writers whose comparisons are so unfavorable
to our present-day Fox Terriers, I would answer that
we have had exhibited more good bitches than could
have been collected in any one decade of the past 30
years. Ic size, stamp, type and character they as
nearly approach perfection as we are ever likely to
attain: and some of our classes have been remarkable,
containing close upon a dozen high class terriers, aver-
aging about 10 lbs. in weight. Turning to the dogs.
I quite agree tbey are much too large, pounds t
and I was delighted to see sucb a good "little un" as
Avon Minstrel come out at the Fylde show, and ulti-
mately take the position he did at Cheltenham, though
regretting there were not more of the same size and
stamp to fo'low him: but at Cheltenham there was not
a matured dog of the right size good enough to make
him gallop, and, instead of being consistent on one
point only (size) and selecting a bad little one for sec-
ond place, the judge had to go for a good big one, as
is frequently the case, when judges are charged with
being inconsistent. Size is undoubtedly a point that
breeders have to consider very seriously. Our bitches
are the right size, and are, all round, a long way ahead
of the dogs, and breeders should aim at getting the dogs
down to 16 or 18 lbs. in show form. Granted that it is
much more difficult to breed good little ones than good
big ones, still it should be the primary aim of all Fox
Terrier breeders to get the clogs down to the right size,
and I trust the day is not far distant when those good
but oversized terriers that we see at the head of our
dog classes may be relegated to the stud only, and we
may find our dogs, in point of size, more nearly ap-
proaching the unsurpassed bitch classes of to-day.
There is plenty of use for tbe oversized dogs at stud,
where the big dog has frequently proved the more
successful sire, and, with the many perfect sized bitches
we now have, this should be more general.

In other points we are certainly holding our own.
In head, our terriers will compare favorably with those
of any time, showing as much character, with equal
punishing power; in ears the improvement is decided,
particularly in size and shape. In neck, shoulders and
body properties I also judge our terriers to have im-
proved, and am glad to note more spring of ribs and
better hindquarters than the straight-shouldered, flat-
sided, leggy animal that sometimes found its way into
the prize lists a few years ago. In bone, legs and feet
we continue to improve, especially in feet, a point on
which the successful breedors of the past placed such
value and a quality in terriers, as in Foxhounds, the
most difficult to obtain and soonest lost: with this, I
think Foxhound breeders generally will agree. Cer-
tainly, we have never had a great winner in Fox Ter-
riers that has been deficient in these qualities, and if
classic honors have fallen to an otherwise good speci-
men, not possessing good legs and feet, his position
has been ephemeral and he has soon returned to the
ranks. In the matter of coat, I think care must be
exercised. We have far too many terriers with the
profuse, soft, almost woolly coat, instead of the hard,
dense, wiry jacket. Constitution is another point that
must not be lost sight of. As to gameness and work-
ing qualities, I submit our pure bred Fox Terrier of
to-day is as game and hard as any Fox Terriers of the
past, and if carefully entered will in every way render
a^ good an account of himself. I have on my* table at
the present moment a long letter recording the doings
of one of our prize bred Fox Terriers and his work for
over three hours in taking a 25 lb. badger, and this is
not the only instance I have had quite recently of the
show Fox Terrier proving himself a game dog at work
underground, both at fox and badger.

As long as they are bred up to this standard we
shall find them attached to our Foxhound kennels of
the kingdom, and as one of our oldest breeders wrote
of them nearly 40 years ago, * the companion of many
a good sportsman through fieljs and town."

The wires in 1901 may. I think, fairly be written
about on the assumption that the breed is on the up
rather than the down grade. Taking the principal
winners, dogs and bitches together, I do not consider
that their average size is too big. Their coats are
good, though it may be some receive a little bit too
much preparation for a show: their bone, legs and
feet, as a rule, are more than good, and in expression
and terrier fire and character they are excellent, and
it is, in my opinion, in this particular that, taken all
round, they are an improvement on their smooth
brethren, writes Mr. Glynn.

The judging appears, with perhaps but one excep-
tion, to have been very fairly uniform, tbe same dogs
and bitches being always — with a little variation in
order maybe — "there" or thereabouts.

There is, in my idea, one fault possessed by these
terriers, and I am not sure that it is not on* the in-
crease, which is not sufficiently handicapped, and that

is, weak loins and hindquarters, cow-hocked and bad
hind action. This is inasmuch as it amounts to un-
soundness, a most serious fault, and, as in my experi-
ence there is nothing which is more hereditary, it be-
hooves breeders to be careful not to breed from these
animals, to leave them alone and go to the terriers
that "can put them down fairly and squarely, one,
two, three, four."

I always think, too, that judges are too prone to go
for the terrier with a beautiful long head, irrespective
of other points — especially his after end — being bad.
[ have often seen very faulty, ill-balanced terriers put
first, simply because of their beautiful heads, and on
the other band, grandly balanced terriers relegated
to a low position because their heads, though in per-
fect harmony with the rest of their bodies, were not
abnormally long. I well remember some years ago
under a — at that time — well known wire judge show-
ing a well-balanced terrier with an ordinary head, not
coarse though in any way but not abnormally long, in
a very ordinary class, I got h c, and on asking the
judge after why he had put me down below certain
very ill-balanced, slilty, long legged and open coated
brutes, though of course, I did not tell him my opinion
of them, he replied, •' Ah, you see yours has no 'nob,'
and I never look at a terrier unless he has a nob."
That in my opinion is the acme of bad judging, what-
ever individual faults a terrier may have he is entitled
to have the whole of his points thoroughly weighed in
a judge's mind, in fact to be judged.

Coming now to the dogs of tbe year tbe best are un-
doubtedly Alport Frost, Barkby Hen, Belfield Baronet,
Cackler of Notts, Christopher of Nott«, Commodore of
Notts, Captain of Notts, Eskdale Scout, Jolly Tar,
Dusky Twitcher, King Elt, Gomersal Star, Match-
maker. Raby Holdfast, Royston Remus, Shamrock,
and last but by no means least, VYestoe Ben, and Mr.
Tom Ashton's '111116 big" dog — I don't know Mi
name. Raby Top Knot and Saltscar Conquero>-I have
not seen, but I am told and have h.-ard they are good.
Several other useful terriers and promising I have
seen, such as Bolton Woods Ben. Barkby Benedict,
Morden Barb Wire and Don't Go Bang.

In the above named there are several terriers of
doubtless more than average quality, but I do not
think there is anyone of them that approaches as near
to perfection as one would wish to see. Types there
are among them, I mean different sorts of types with-
out number, and this is a great blessing for half the
fun of exhibiting, and the whole of the misery of
judging would be gone if this were not so. In that
mysterious thing called type though, from out of the
dogs above mentioned, I unhesitatingly pick as far
ahead of the rest, Westo Ben, Belfield Baronet, Sham-
rock and Mr. Tom Ashton's dog, and these four have
this further qualification — by no means possessed by
all the rest — they are sound. In bitches, Appleby
Jane seems to still hold her own. and DusKy Reine is
-also well to the front. Mr. Houlker and Mr. Red-
mond showed two good bitch puppies at the Kennel
Club Show. Barkby Trollop and Doningtoc Flirt last
well, surely from these two one ought to have seen
some very good progeny by now; but if they have
been shown I have missed them. Nux Vomica still
looks well, and a very beautiful bitch is Miriam, wilh
the best head we have on a Foxterrier at the present
time. How she would suit my old friend of the
Several other good bitches I have seen, and,
taken as a whole, they are certainly sounder than the
drgs, though, in other respects the dogs beat them.

In concluding this rather meagre report, I should
like, to a certain extent, to appeal to exhibitors not to
over-do the trimming business. Legitimate trimming
will never have a firmer supporter tban I am. Legiti-
mate trimming is absolutely essential for the benefit of
the health of any long haired working terrier, and no
one who has any knowledge of terriers or love for
them, will deny this for a moment.

What is legitimate trimming? One read sand listens
to a host of trash from brainless idiots on this question.
I answer at once the removal of old coat by pulling it
out with the finger and thumb. I do this" myself. I
order it to be done on all my terriers who need it, and
nothing will ever stop me from doing it, for the simple
reason that terriers who grow heavy coats are not
healthy or happy unless this is done.

On the few occasions I judge I always make it a rule
to severely handicap a man who shows a terrier under
me with a lot of old, useless, dirty coat on him, as it is
.distinct evidence that he is either a lazy brute who
has not the welfare of bis dog at heart, or a fool, and
in either case he is to be discountenanced. To remove
old coat from some terriers without hurting them is,
however, at times a somewhat lengthy operation and
I am given to understand that to remedy this it is an
increasing custom to use a razor or a sharp knife to
break the hair uniformly all over. Personally. I do
not believe a word of it, I don't think it is done, but if
it is it must be stopped, under Kennel Club rules it is
faking and ought to be and must be exposed at once
when detected and put an end to.

Where I think the trimming business is overdone is
in the cutting of the toe nails down to the quick and
in the preparation of the coat ostensibly for cleaning
purposes for exhibition.

Quite recently anyone would have been looked upon
as a terrible person who was seen powdering his dog
to clean his coat, but nowadays this is most ostenta-
tiously done in the show a few,.minutes before the dog
is taken into the ring. I think this ought to be
stopped — it is done in several breeds as well as Fox
Terriers — let a person clean his dog as be likes (as long
as it is fair) at home or wherever he likes, but not in
the show, it is not an edifying sight and I wonder show
committees allow it.

I think exhibitors are apt to forget that the more
dogis"gotup" the more under a good judge is he
likely to be handicapped. It is possible I am wrong in
this, but if I am may I ask judges to make a point of
in future handicapping dogs who are too beautifully
got up. somewhat severely, and there is one other
request I would make them and that is to invariably
leave entirely out of the prize money the whippety
starn'd, cow-hocked brute who has no right to the
name terrier.

Angling Notes and Angling Ethics.

BY CLIPPERTOS.

If there is any kind of animal that I dislike more
than an Egotist it is a Dogmatist, which some 6shermen
are, particularly the striped bass variety.

There are only three Kinds of fish worth fishing for,
and they are Trout, Salmon and Wild Ducks, the latter
are only named as they can be caught with a hook and
worm, and by the way it may be said that they are
much more toothsome when roasted than either of the
other kinds of fish named.

In these notes only the Trout will be dealt with, and
whenever a fish is named it is understood to be a trout
of eight inches in length or over, unless otherwise
specially stated. I mention the length because I never
take any below that size, for in the first place plenty
of small ones can always be bought from other anglers
on the boat coming home, and secondly, well, I don't
like to be afraid to meet a deputy fish commissioner.

Trout are caught in various ways, and the following
may be taken as the principal means of capture from
a sporting point of view, and the order in which they
are placed shows the relative merit of the sport, (1)
being the lowest: 1. Worm on the bottom. 2. Tick-
ling, kittling, or guddliag with the hands. 3. Dibbing
or dapping with natural or artificial fly. 4. Superior
kind of dibbing with a long line; called dry fly fishing.
5. Worm in clear water up stream. 6. Minnow in
clear water up or down stream. T. Fly fishing proper;
that is casting the fly not only where fish are rising,
but where the angler knows a good fish will be lying,
whether rising or not. It will be seen that the less
sportsmanlike means of using Lime or Dynamite are
omitted.

Taking them in the order given, the various arts
may be fully described as follows:

1. Hang a worm on a hook — any kind of worm and
any kind of hook will do — sling it into a hole with
water in it, fix your rod, and sit down and whistle,
read a book, or take a stroll to the next hole, or go
home, or do anything you like — go home is the best
thing you can do, and stop there.

2. Ask any country lad who has lived near the
streams.

3. Poke about through the bushes or trees over-
hanging water where fish are rising, and let the fly
drop gently on the water and float along over rising
fish, use strong tackle, and be prepared to use stronger
language if the hook should come away, then look
aloft and sigh.

4. Ask some of the gentlemen who dispute whether
a fly should be put two inches or six inches above a
rising fish; they may also be able to tell you how they
do it at comparatively short distances, say twenty-five
yards. I cannot, and I never knew a man who could
locate a spot to six inches at twenty-five yards.

5. The water must be clear and fine, the finer the
better — pack up a good lunch and flask of water; But-
ler's best or similar, sort out your finest tackle, having
previously got a supply of good sized "barnyard
hackles", the thicker and plumper the better. You
should have — in fact, you must have — an accurate
knowledge of where Lhe fish should be lying, and you
cast partly up stream and partly across, more the
former than the latter, aud let the worm fall naturally
to where the fish is lying-. There must be no drag on
the line, but you must feel the worm all the time, and
tighten up at every stop until you have learned to dis-
tinguish between the bite of a fish and the worm touch-
ing the bottom.

You will need some weight on the gut, about twelve
or fourteen inches from the hooks; the most convenient
form is a chain made up of two or three small triple
or, better still, spring hooks and, if more weight is
necessary, have a link that will hold two No. 3 shot.
The spring hooks can easily be made by anyone wear-
ing less than a No. 9 glove.

To make them get some steel wire of the required
thickness, cut a piece off about six inches long, heat
one end in a gas flame until red hot, then hammer the

®h£ $vee&cv txnir ^povi&nxan

end flat on an anvil forabout half aninch up, file down
the edges of the flat part until it is of the same width
as the diameter of the wire; heat in the gas again, and
with the aid of a pair of round nosed pliers bend to the
required shape; cut off the wire at the final bend, and
finish with a small half-round smooth file. To temper,
heat in the gas to a bright red, and cool in water, or
better still, in oil— any lubricating oil will do; after
this dip it in the oil, shade off all superfluous oil. and
press the hook through and through the flame of the
gas until the oil on it is in a flare; then cool outright
again in the oil. A very few trials will enable you to
make a spring that will not break with any fair usage.
N. B. — If you haven't an arvil use two hammers,
hold one between your knees — the wire should be of
good steel that will temper, not such as is usually used
for wire ropes. Have a hole somewhere where you
can work by yourself, and don't let your better half
come and jaw ycu about next Sunday's dinner while
you are busy, or you may burn your fingers, and have
cold meat on the Sabbath.

6. This is really a fine sport. In the first place fresh
caught minnows are the best, but the next best are
those preserved in a diluted solution of Formalin.
The latter last longer, and sometimes more than one
fish can be killed with a bait, but the fresh minnows
are the best, and when the water is very fine and
clear — as it should be for this sport — the fresher they
are the better. Fine tackle must be used, and the best
is that made as follows: Two triple fine wire hooks in
one side of the fish, and a single triple hook on the
opposite side. Where the two strands of gut meet a
third strand is knotted, and to this should be tied the
combined needle and weight to go inside the fish. The
weights are easily made out of sheet brass, and when
pushed home in the bait the only way of getting them
out is to pull the minnow's head off.

When properly fixed there is nothing visible outside
the bait excepting the fine hooks, one hook of each
triple one being fixed in the minnow. You do not need
any fins or spinning arrangement. They are an
abomination and only guard the hooks. If you think
it won't spin, try to put a minnow on any kind of hook
or hooks so that it won't turn in the water, and you
will find you cannot.

The first swivel on the leader should be fifteen or
sixteen inches from the hooks, and if any extra weight
is wanted for rapid water pinch a shot into this. Have
a few shot up to BB shot in size, or up to } inch diam-
eter with a hole and slot in them, and as stated pinch
one on to the swivel — it will not prevent its working if
put in properly, do not pinch shot on to qut, it is a dan-
gerous and lazj practice.

It is necessary, as a rule, to wade to minnow fish
properly in running water — you may fish either up or
down or both — but you must always feel the minnow
and keep it in motion, however slow. Cast it where
you expect fish to lie, and do not simply drag the
streams with it.

When I say cast where you expect fish to lie, I do
not mean flop it on top of them, but cast it a little
above and beyond, that is nearer to, or further from,
the shore, as the case may be, and draw it down or
across in gentle strokes. Do not strike — Btriking is a
blunder at any time unless a smaller man hits you —
give the fish time, and tighten up firmly with enough
force to put the hooks iD, and hold in at that.

Your leader should be not less than nine feet long,
and the same applies to cast for up stream worming.

7. Now I feel like John Butler on Fox Hunting.
" O! my beloved 'earers,'' never mind what they tell
you about blobbing worms into holes, tickling moun-
tain trout, peddling blue bottlefl'tes through cracks in
bushes Never mind the scientific twenty-five yards
to an inch man. Kick the greedy devil that goes
worming up stream in the early morning, and hang
the man who ■ ould skull-drag a decent river with a
dirty minnow, they are all just lime and dynamite
men who are afraid of the game wardens, Fly Fish-
ing (put this in big print, please) is sport, and can only
be learned by years of practice and study, practice so
that you can put a fly somewhere near where you
want it, study to know where to put it, experience to
teach you what is the best fly to use, sometimes letting
your fly sink and drift down with the stream, at other
times letting it float gently over rising fish as you
come in the way of them; sometimes, when they will

13

not look at it otherwise, smacking it on top of them,
or as near on top as you can, and startle them into
rushing at it, or away from it.

We are all too conceited to learn from lecturing
when once we have tasted the blood ot Sulmo
Sulmq gairdnerif fontanttlis, or itvedeus. The whole
question with the tyro, and even the angler of maturer
years, is what is the best ki'ling lure. His soul U bent
on sport and sport alone, and he will listen to nothing
except there be behind it the promise of mukinga
basket anl beating the triumphs he has already won.
It is often the old story of one niche higher, Mil fcbo
bladeless heft drops from his palsied hand, and he
resigns himself intj the arms of others, either to mtik>'
a fresh start or retire from the scene of his former joys,
now turned into a barren waste, becan-c it has been
overdone — done to death! Can a fishei \ U i .\hausted?
Look at the tenantless waters all over the ^tate, and
then answer the question. The an^ier may not be
responsible for the avaricious greed of the tu-itrr. He
may not be responsible altogether for the d. populated
streams as far as Salmo qairdneri is cunutruud, nor for
the depredations of the spear poacher; but in other
respects he is responsible for just quite enough. His
education has been and is sadly neglected ns an angler.

The sportsmen of the old school wen , on the whole,
very good men, and their sense of justice to their
neighbors, and their high character as to what was
right and proper, proved in itself a saf-guard against
encroachments on the rights of others, nnd so begat_a
restraint beneficial to sport. There was always plenty
and to spare: and so education in the diixct sense was
not needed. The same fruits were there, and the
esprit d'rorps which was ever present, made matters
agreeable all round. There was life, smooth sailing
yet pleasant life, on both aides of the stream, and the
hearty "Good morning, and 1 wish you luck,'' was the
usual greeting.

There can be no mistake about the fly; but It is
sometimes useless, and with a j-.ist appreciation of the
respective rights of our neighbors and ourselves, we
should be able to determine when a spoon, worm or
minnow may be used properly with impunity "I am
with n my rights and can do as I please," is selfish in
the extreme and deserving o[ the utmost contempt.
There are conditions of season, weather and water,
when it would be madness not to put aside the fly and
with a baited hook or any other lure try to fetch wan-
dering fish from the pools. They can be got no other
way. But to rake a pool fore and aft in water at dead
summer level with a bait, is sheer greed and down-
right pot-hunting. If the fish are to be potted and no
one's feelings likely to be hurt by the operation, why
certainly try a shrimp or worm in a dead summer
water, but always ' By your leave, sir; by your leave!"

Educate the angler to return all undersized fish to
the stream and to study the unwritten laws of angling.
In fishing a stream where one can easily cast from one
bank to the other we know of several anglers who,
fishing together on both sides of the brook, instead of
clashing, will each watch their opportunity. If one's
fellow angler is at a pool or the other side, he gener-
ously passes on to the next pool, if he does not prefer
to wait and follow. But there is a mean practice, which
I must allude to, and which is but too commonly done,
where several rods are crowded together. It is to get
on to the water an hour before your neighbor, so as to
have it all whipped before his arrival. Again, to get
out of the pool when you are about half through with
it, and hurry down stream, just for the purpose of
securing the next pool before the arrival of your
neighbor. What heart burnings these mean tricks
provoke, and how they spoil the enjoyment of all
concerned.

Educate the angler to look after the minor details of
his and his ueighoor's fishing rights, and such disa-
greeable incidents would not happen. He has also to
educate himself to do justly in only retaining the
mature and well grown fish. Tbefingerlingsand such
like ought to be carefully returned. They will grow
in the water, not in the creel. Yet how many retain
every troutlet which comes their way. Really the
trout fisher stands in his own light when despising this
wholesome self-restraint. What is the average size of
the trout for a particular stream should be his first
question; and all below such should be carefully
returned.

The popularity of the Angus in the re.
cent sales lias proved an eye-opener to
stockmen who have been rather inclined
to eive the little black doddie the go-by.
The early claims of importers of these
cattle as to the esteem in which they were
held and their prize winning record in
Scotland, were received with expressions
of doubt by the champions of other estab-
lished breeds in America and by stock
raisers generally, but these claims have
been more than substantiated. No con-
siderable number oi Angus cattle had
been imported to America until within
the last twenty years and notwithstand.
ing many prejudices against them, no
breed of cattle has done more. While
the Angus steer has won an enviable rep-
utation in the old countries, yet consider-
ing the obstaclei to overcome in the way
of prejudice and fierce competition of
overwhelming numbers, it has probably

Veterinary Pixine

After Blistering. Vetebinaby Pixine is i
very best application that could be indicate*
It absorbs all inflammatory exudate and ha.
tens the reparatory process. Will heal tb
most severe cases without scar and prevei
loss of hair.

AS A PREVENTIVE.
If a light application of Vetebisabt Pixij
is used before speeding, driving in wet, muddy or
slushy weather, or in the snow, your horse will
never have speed cracks, scratches or grease heel.
FOR HOOFS.
It will keep the hoofs healthy, soft and in per-
fect form.

FOR SORES, ETC.

Veterinary Pixine heals collar and saddle

galls, hopple chafes, abscesses, inflammatory

swellings, sores and all skin disease. In cases of

emergency it is invaluable.

This penetrating, stimulating, soothing, absorb-
ing, antiseptic, bealtng ointment heals from be-
neath the surface by disinfecting the parts, sub-
duing the inflammation and stimulating healthy
granulation, not by drying and scabbing.

THE HARNESS STALLION STAKE has been
re-opened. Entries for stallions will close May 1.

1902, and the race will be contested at the California
State Fair of 1905, when foals are three years old. It
will be remembered that this stake, inaugurated by
the California State Agricultural Society, was origi-
nally advertised to close February loth, and that on
that date 3t5 stallions were named in it. Unfortunately
a misunderstanding arose among many of the nomina-
tors and also among many owners who failed to nomi-
nate their stallions, as to the eligibility of the foals of
this year dropped af er the date of closing. Quite a
number were of the opinion that oDly those foals born
prior to the date of closing the stake could be entered
in the race. This was entirely an error. The stake
was for the get of stallions that stood for service in
1901, and any such get born this year are eligible.
The stallions must now be named by May 1st, but the
colts can be named any time up to June 1st next year,

1903, and any foal of 1902, sired by any stallion nomi-
nated, is eligible. The original 3*5 nominators will
doubtless again name their stallions in this stake and
there will be many more who will make entries, so
that the stake is sure to be one of the richest stakes in

JOHNNIE BLUE IS DEAD. No man connected
^ with the horse industry in California will have
more sincere mourners over his untimely death than
he. He was one of nature's noblemen — an honest, up-
right man, who did his duty at all times as he saw it,
who was loyal to his employers and faithful to his
friends. He was a born horseman and few men in the
business knew as much about conditioning race horses.
He had served his time as a young man with the run-
ners but for the past ten years had devoted his time
to the harness horses and was eminently successful.
During the life of the late T. E. Keating, in the years
when that famous reinsman reached the zenith of his
reputation, John Blue was his first lieutenant and it
was under bis watchful eye and supervision that Keat-
ings' champions were made ready for their greatest
efforts. He looked after Anaconda, Searchlight, Coney,
Dione, Klatawah, Owyhee, and others of the horses
that Keating so successfully campaigned and gave the
majority of them nearly all tbtir work. After Heat-
ing's death he entered the employ of Ed Gaylord of
Denver, and having a string of higb class horses the
future was bright for him. Last Thursday afternoon
he was taken suddenly ill at the Overland Park track,
just after finishing his day's work in the sulky and
expired in a short time. Heart disease was the cause
of his death. John Blue was born in Monmouth, 111.,
48 years ago, but the greater part of his life was spent
in California. He leaves a sister, Mrs. Ada Hearst,
living at Idaho Falls, Idaho. The announcement of
his death will be received with regret by everv person
that knew him, and there will be honest arid sincere
tears shed for the loss of an upright, honorable and
true lover of the horse.

WILL YOU GO NORTH to race this year? If so
you must not fail to have an entry in eacb/and
every one of those early closing events advertised by
the Oregon State Fair. The Greater Salem Stake for
2:18 pacers is $2000, mile heats three in five, five per
cent entrance. The Capital City Stake is $1000 for
2:24 trotters. The Webfoot Stake is 3500 for three-
year-old trotters ol the 2:30 class, and the Inland Em-
pire Stake is $500 for three year-old pacers of the 2:25
class. Then there is the Illihee Stake for two-year-old
runners, $300 added, five-eighths of a mile. One of the
best features of this program of early closing events is
a consolation purse of $500 offered free of any entrance
fee for the horses in the Greater Salem Stake that fail
to win money. This wilLmake eight of the entries in
the $2000 stake sure of their entrance money. The
North Pacific Circuit will furnish excellent racing this
year, and all California horsemen who contemplate
going north should euter, especially at Salem. It
holds one of the greatest fairs in the Northwest, and
is one of the best managed of all the meetings. Make
your entries with Secretary M. D. Wisdom by April
15, 1902.

RALPH A. TOZER has been appointed Secretary
and associate judge of the Montana Jockey Club,
that will begin a two months' meeting at Butte on
June 21st. Mr. Tozer was formerly one of the editors
of this journal and no more intelligent, competent or
honorable man ever wielded a pen. For the past four
years he has been identified with racing matters in
various avocations, finding time however to write
occasionally for the press and to attend to pedigree
work, for whi^h there is probably no student of thor-
oughbred breeding more eminently qualified. Mr.
Tozer has the entire confidence of the horsemen and
the public and all who know him are confident that no
act of his will ever bring discredit upon the grand
sport in which he takes so much interest and pride.
He will be a very valuable acquisition to the list of
sterling officials which the Montana Jockey Club has
secured for its meeting this year.

TERRE HAUTE MATROX STAKE, 310,000 foi
foals of 1902. Entries close April 14th. S2OO0 for
two year old trotters, $1000 for two year old pacers,
and the rest, $7000 for three year old trotters. Only
$5 to nominate and the other payments few and far
between. One of the best conditioned stakes ever
devised. Entries close April 14th. Read the ad in
this issue.

/CINCINNATI'S SUMMER MEETING will be held
^— * during the first week in July and the horsemen
who "do 'the Grand Circuit will start it by celebrating
the Glorious Fourth at Oakley Park, where that
prince of managers, Andy Welch, will have charge of
the first big meeting of the year. Six early closing
events forthis meeungare advertised in the BREEDER
and SPORTSMAN to-day. The 2::i0 class trot has a
purse of $2000 and the 2:3l> class pace has one of like
generous proportions. Besides these there are four
purses of $1500 each for the 2:19 and 2:12 trotters and
2:13 and 2:09 pacers. The entrance is five percent in
several payments with small forfeits. Entries close
Monday next. March 31st. Don't forget this date, but,
sit down to-morrow and make out your entries and
mail them.

TTHE TALBOT PLACE AT AUCTION is an attrac-
* tion for those who wilt spend to-day in the country.
This beautiful country seat of 140 acres, nearly a quar-
ter section, will be sold to-day, together with all the
magnificent furnishings of the residence, and all the
horses, cattle, etc., with which the place has been
stocked until it is one of the ideal farms of California.
The Talbot farm is near San Leandro, in Alameda
county, and can be reached from this city in an hour
by train. If you want a good driving horse, a Shet-
land pony, a good cow or a handsome piece of furniture
attend this sale to-day.

'TUESDAY NEXT. April 1st. is the date for closing
1 six stake; for th Old Glory meeting at Charter
Oak Park, Hartford, Conn. The meeting occupies
the fi'-st week in September on the Grand Circuit, and
is always one of the big features of the year's harness
events. The Charter Oak. $10,000 for trotters of the
2:11 class, is a race that everv horseman has at some
time had a desire to win. Besides this rich stake,
there are five of $3000 each for trotters and pacers of
different classes. Entries close next Tuesday. Don't
miss being at Hartford this year. It will be one of the
''best ever."

DEAL* B. 32,00«, record 2:16'. sired by Wildnut, dam
*-' the great broodmare, Nettie Benton by General
Benton, was sold this week by Santa Rosa Stock Farm
to Mr. D. McGregor of Ferndale, Humboldt county.
Mr McGregor will place this elegantly bred and hand-
some horse in the stud at Ferndale and he should be a
very valuable addition to the stock of that county.
The colts by Beau B., now at the Santa Rosa Stock
Farm are a very choice lot and are highly valued.

AT L'KIAH, the directors of the 45th agricultural
district held a meeting this week and decided to
hold a race meeting of five days this season and will
endeavor to make it the best ever held in the county,
and will give better purses than ever. The owners of
the race track have expended $1600 alone on grading
the track, which is one-half mile, and have covered it
with eight inches of clay and thrown up the turns one
inch to the foot. It is now one of the most perfect
tracks in California.

IF YO.U ARE BREEDING your heavy mares to
1 draft stallions this year, you will find it to your
advantage to patronize the horses owned by McCor-
mack Brothers at Rio Vista. They have two of the
noblest specimens of the Shire and Percheron breeds
to be found in the State. The best of pasturage at $1
per month, and transportation rates by steamer are
very low. See advertisement.

FfVE DOLLARS is not a very large sum to pay
for curing a horse of spavin or curb, but the new
remedy "Save-the-horse" is sold at that price with a
guarantee that the money will be returned if the medi-
cine does not do the work. A written gu arantee goes
with every bottle. This is one of the few investments
one can make without taking any chances of losing.

GLENS FALLS BIG PROGRAM closes May 1st.
You have a month yet to study them over, but
it is a good idea to begin now and see which of the
$1000 purses you will have horses for. Read the list of
these purses in our advertising columns.

Take Your Choice.

Two gentlemen the other day were speaking" of the
relative merits of trotters and pacers, and one of them
said that for racing only he would just as soon have a
pacer as a trotter. Imt for road purposes, particularly
for long-distance 0 living, he preferred a trotter. He
had cooc ived the idea tha' a pacer was not so good
for long jaunts. The other gentlnman would just as
soon have a pacer as a trotter for road purpi -
otherwise, if the former was a good roadster and had
a smooth even gait. There is this one fact to be con
sidered — a pacer is not so apt to he a good roadster as
a trotter. We do not know why this is, but we know
that it is so. Ther _ among

trotters to one pacer that is a good roadster. Many
gentlemen prefer the pacer for speed on the road to *
the trotter, and this is where the pacer is in i
ment. For brushes on there periortothe

l >n | he own with the

list of pacers shows as much
money in purses .'■ pacersas for trotters. A dozen

JOTTINGS.

SATURDAY AT PLEASANTON will have many
attractions for horsemen from now until the Cali-
fornia circuit opens, and speed will he shown that is
worth going to see. About a hundred and fifty good,
bad and indifferent trotters and pacers are attending
the speed school at the "horse centre" at present and
the tutors are all pretty busy. Few fast miles have
been attempted, but there are speedy quarters galore
and many brushes that furnish excitement enough to
beep the interest up to concert pitch on workout days.
Last Saturday was a particularly interesting day to
visitors who journeyed there from various points.
Millard Sanders, O. A. Hiekok, Ed Lafferty, Bert
Webster, Sam Gamble, Geo. A. Kelly, S. K. Trefry, J.
M. Alviso, Hans Frellson, Bob Gallegos, William Cecil
and several others were on the track during the day
with representatives of their strings. Mr. Hiekok
drove Thornway a half in 1:08, tne first time the
Steinway colt has been moved that fast this year, but
it was done so easily that it was not considered an
effort, and Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick, his owner, who was
present, looked very much pleased. Thornway U a
high class horse in looks, bearing a strong resemblance
to his sire. On a slow jog he generally trots, with a
sort of shuffle that is anything but attractive. When
Hiekok calls on him to go, however, it is a different
story and at speed he moves like a well ordered
machine. Clipper 2:06, looking better than ever in
his life, has just reached Mr. Hiekok and will be put
in shape for purses that may be offered for his class.
Russell G., the two year old by Nutwood Wilkes out
of a mare by Cal. Nutwood, that was purchased by Mr.
W. P. Murray of Cleveland and placed in charge of
Mr. Hiekok until he could be shipped East in May, is
one of the handsomest youngsters at the track and
will attract attention from the club members at Cleve-
land whenever Mr. Murray takes him out.

Bert Webster has quite a big string at work — seven
or eight of which are intended for the Blue Ribbon
sale at Cleveland in May. They are owned and were
bred by Mr. C. L. Griffith, owner of Bonnie Direct
2:05$. Mr. Griffith has taken up his i-esidence at
Pleasanton and takes great pleasure in driving Bonnie
and Rect. The former is big and stout yet, and has
been sent no fast miles this year. He is in the stud
and has been mated with quite a number of high class
mares already. There is no handsomer pacing horse
in America than this son of Direct and Bon Bon. Rect
2:164 is a faster horse this year than ever before in his
life and should bring a good price at the Cleveland
sale. His son Domino, a green pacer that has as much
style as any horse, can turn the Pleasanton track any
good day in 2:10 or perhaps a little better. He has
already worked a mile in 2:16.

One of the real good things at Pleasanton this year
is a two year old colt by Steinway out of Nola by Nul-
wood, second dam Belle Byron (dam of Claus Almont
2:12J) by Bowman's Clark Chief, third dam Belle
Hook by Almont 33, etc. I saw Bert Webster give
.him his work Saturday. If there is a prospective can-
didate for the two-minute class in California this is the
one. He is a chestnut, large for his age, with the best
boned and muscled set of legs under him I have seen
on a tw> year old for some time. He takes to pacing
as naturally as a duck -to water and can spurt at a 2:20
gait so easily that it looks like fun for him. A two
year old by Steinway out of Bon Bon, dam of Bonnie
Direct 2:05$ and Bonsilene 2:14^, is another of the
"warm ones" in Webster's care. The toppiest, longest
necked, highest class looking yearling by Direct 2:054
I ever saw is a little black fellow that represents all
that Mr. Griffith ever got from breeding Vida Wilkes
2:18$. She was mated many years in succession but
either missed or the foals died, uutil this fellow came
and if looks count he will pay for all the previous dis-
appointments, as he is a Jim Dandy and no mistake.

He is by Stamboul 2:074 and his dam By By (a pro-
ducer and sister to Loekheart 2:084) by Nutwood,
second dam the great broodmare Rapidan by Director,
third dam a producing mare by Edwin Forrest 851,
and fourth dam by Mambrino Chief 11. L. W. Russell
sires good looks and speed and will be promirent in
the Great Table with opportunities. This daughter
Almaretta is certain to get a low mark if raced this
year and no accident happens her. Mr. Sanders is
again working Judge Green's little black stallion by
Directum and has him moving nicely. He is entered
in the Kentucky Futurity to be trotted this year and
looks good enough to make the last payment on.
There is not a trainer in California that would receive
more hearty and sincere congratulations over winning
this big futurity than Millard Sanders, and if he does
the trick with Judge Green's colt there would be
double cause for expressions of pleasure, as the Judge
is one of the most Dopular jurists in the State, and
breeds a few good ones each year for the simple
pleasure of owning them, and always aims to breed up.

Ed Lafferty has a string of eight, the record horses
of the string being Durfee Mac 2:171 by McKinney and
Floradora 2:18*. by Sable Steinway. He also has the
Hughes mare by Shippee's Dictator Wilkes. These
three belong to Mr. Albert Joseph, the attorney of
this city. The mare Babiola by Cbas. Derby out of
Anteeo, belonging to Mr. Umbsen of this city, is in
Lafferty's hands and looks like a good prospect. She
ought to win money in the green class trots if trained
and raced. She is a square trotter, has size and sound-
ness and can trot an eighth in 16 seconds now, although
the work she has had is very limited. A two year old
colt by Silver Bow out of a mare by Nushagak, that
Ed is working a little for Mr. E. Clawson, of this city,
looks like one that will be showing lots of speed next
season, as he has symptoms of the speed disease now
and breaks out with it once in awhile. Lou Crellin
sent to Lafferty the other day a long haired but very
nicely proportioned two year old that gives every
promise of developing into the counterpart of his
illustrious sire, Searchlight 2:03$. He is out of a mare
by Directum 2:05$, so that he is bred pretty close to
the top. Although just off pasture and looking rough,
he has a way of stepping that suggests something
sensational when he gets a little older.

Millard Sanders is about as busy a man these days
as he has ever been and that is saying a good deal as
he has led what "Teddy" would call a strenuous life.
He has fourteen head of trotters in charge, all but one
or two the property of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm.
Dolly Dillon 2:07 is all she was last year in the way of
speed and more too, and Bonsilene 2:14$ by Stamboul
2:074 out of the dam of Bonaie Direct 2:05$ is again in
training, after having raised a magnificent colt by
McKinney. A late addition to the string is Anzella
2:10J, the boss of the California circuit last year and
a very likely candidate for the same position over East
this summer. Almaretta, a very handsome rangy
daughter of L. W. Russell, has grown considerably
since she won the Stanford Stake last year at Sacra-
mento. And that reminds me: L. W. Russell is a
stallion' that should not be overlooked by breeders.

she was quite a stepper. She was driven by the farm
trainer, William Cecil, and a quarter in 35 seconds
seemed but an easy thing for her. She has a most
attractive way of going. Cecil drove Bob Ingersoll
an exercise mile or so, but did not call on him for much
speed. It will be remembered that Bob took the dis-
temper last year and did not start during the season,
thus having no opportunity to lower his record of
2:14^, made the year before as a four year old. When
Cecil was back East last year he took a look at his old
favorite, John A. McKerron 2:06|, and was highly
pleased with him, but says that he told Mr. Devereux
that Bob Ingersoll would come very near equalling any
record that John A. would make. When Cecil drove
Bob through the stretch Saturday in 35 seconds, he
let him step the last 16th, and though still big and fat,
he came like a whirlwind, and was moving very close
to a championship rate. He is one of the best gaited
and nicest going trotters ever on a track. Cecil has
about ten of the get of Nutwood Wilkes at Pleasanton,
all high class in every respect.

Will Welch has a half dozen trotters and pacers and
they have size and good looks to spare. He is work-
ing the handsome big pacer Dr. Hammond by Chas.
Derby out of a Nutwood mare. The Doctor looks
good enough to take to the races right away. Mr.
Welch worked him a miie in 2:08 at San Jose last year.
He is still green and has never started in a race, but
when he does there will be "something doing." Mr.
Welch has Dr. Rowell, a three year old full brother to
Dr. Hammond; Miss Marshall, a three yeax old by
Dictatus, a four year old trotting filly by Starboul out
of a Dexter Prince mare: Ben F. 2:224 by Brad wood, a
very promising pacer that took his record last year
at Concord, and is expecting to get Rajah, one of last
year's Grand Circuit disappointments, to begin work
on soon.

Hans Frellsou has a string of eleven head that he is
just beginning to give track work although he has
jogged the most of them on the road during the win-
ter. A big bay trotter by Direct that trialed last year
better than 2:15, a three year old by McKinney belong-
ing to Capt. W Ford Thomas of this city; a Nutwood
Wilkes colt owned by the same party, and a four year
old mare by Seymour Wilkes are among the best of
this string. Geo. A. Kelly since selling Anzella 2:104,
is devoting his time to three or four green horses. S.
K Trefry has a few, and Bob Gallegos is working
several belonging to his father, Mr. Juan Gallegos of
Mission San Jose. Among them is Trilby a very rapid
pacing mare by Direct that has been entered on the
Grand Circuit. She has beaten 2:15 in her work. J.
M. Alviso ought to get some of the money in Califor"
nia this year with his five year old Rey del Diablo.
This horse took a record of 2:23J as a two year old,
but was knocked out later that year and had the
same bad luck as a three year old. He looks perfectly
sound and strong now, and ie a pacer from taw. Mr.
Alviso's son worked him a couple of slow miles Satur-
day while the "old man" drove another Diablo, a filly.
The two were brushed through the stretch, Rey del
Diablo making it swinging in 32$ seconds while the
Ally made it in 33. Rey del Diablo has shown quarters
as fast as 31 seconds recently and if he does not get
into his sire's 2:10 list this year I will be greatly mis-
taken. I have never seen a more improved horse, or
one that can go fast with any more ease than he.

Among the visitors to Pleasanton Saturday was Mr.
Martin Carter, owner of the Nutwood Stock Farm,
who generally goes up to the track once a week to see
the colts by Nutwood Wilkes work. A three year old
full sister to Bob Ingersoll showed him Saturday that

Sam Gamble was busy with his horses, but found
time lo have Stam B. 2:114 by Stamboul and his black
Excel by Axtell led out for inspection by some lady
visitors. The ladies thought Excel was a "perfect
beauty," but Sam told them in bis characteristic way
that Stam B. would take all kinds of ribbons away
from the black fellow at Madison Square Garden.
Both these horses are looking especially fit and in
shape. Excel will be bred to about a half dozen choice
mares this year and being the only son of the great
Axtell in California his services should be in great
demand next season, as be is developing into a grand
looking horse and is one of the best bred animals ever
brought to the State. Mr. Gamble is being very
earnestly requested to take Stam B. to Salem, OregOD,
and is promised all the mares the horse can serve and
a large number of them high class at that. Those
Oregon breeders are showing as much enterprise as
the Oregon associations and it need not surprise any
one if the web-foot State soon gets to be a rival of
California in both the racing and breeding business.
They race under difficulties up there owing to the
frequent rains, but the people show enterprise and
enthusiasm that no downpour seems able to dampen
and I guess those qualities are waterproof in Oregon.

A visit to Pleasanton would be incomplete without a
look at Flying Jib 2:04, whose record of 1:58$ with a
running mate, made in 1894 has never been equaled.
Some years ago Mr. Chas. Griffith turned the old
champion over to the care of Mr. Geo. A. Davis,
superintendent of the Rancbodel Valle, and Mr. Davis
and the Jib have become cronies. Mr. D. uses him as
a buggy horse, has a man to care for him and sees
that he is never asked to do more th?n he wants to do
cheerfully. The result is Jib looks and acts like a
youngster, and while he is too dignified a horse to in-
dulge in any foolishness or antics, has all his old fire
when taken on the track and is ready to show two-
minute speed or better at any time. He is in his
fifteenth year but we firmly b lieve he can beat any
horse in America in a brush of a quarter of a mile.
Without any preparation Flying Jib pulled Mr. Davis
(a heavy-weight) the last quarter on the Pleasanton
track last Saturday in just 294 seconds, with a dozen
watches held by such men as Chas. Griffith, Judge W.
E. Greene, Martin Carter, Monroe Salisbury, Orrin
Hiekok, Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick and others, to verify
the statement. I think he is the most wonderful horse
in America to-day. What a pity the knife was ever
used on him. He is a grand looker as a gelding, and
as a stallion would have been a prize winner. His
speed is perfectly natural, and how he does like to
show it. After watching Mr. Davis drive the old fel-
low through the stretch Saturday I came to the con-
clusion that it would be a toss up as to which enjoyed
the spurt the most — the horse or his driver. Is there
a pacer in the entire country to-day, old, young, sound
or unsound, in or out of training, that can beat Flying
Jib through the stretch ? I doubt it.

A couple cf pacers that have been campaigned and
secured fast records that they are liable to reduce this
year owing; to the improvement they are already
showing- are I Direot 2:12.1 and King Cadenza 2:15A .
They are be ng worked by Mr. H. H. DuDlap. I
Direct is working without the hopples aDd is going
smoothly and fast with his legs bare. King Cadenza
is also showing well. Mr. Duolap bitches them double
once in a while and is ready to enter them in any team
race that may be offered.

Mention has been made before in these columns of a
big bay trotter by Chas. Derby that Monroe Salisbury
purchased the other day. Mr. Salisbury tells me he
bought the horse on account of his size and looks for
his brother, who expects to drive him in his buggy or
to a carriage. The gelding is six years old and was
almost unbroken when Mr. S. took hold of him a

montti ago, and had been on pasture two years. He
said Saturday that as yet he feels very much pleased
if he succeed in getting back to the stable with him
any day without having an upset on the road. The
horse is green, decidedly so, but Mr. Salisbury drove
him a quarter in 30 seconds the other day. Those
Perbys a»'e a grand lot of horses, They have size and
food looks almost in variably — in fact I don't know of a
stallion that gets those qualities with more uniformity.

L. Csrillo is handling a bunch of ten horses at the
track belonging to W. A. Shippee. They are by
Hawthorne and other sires of the Shippee farm, and
are being put in shape to sell. Mr. Carillo stepped a
trotter a mile in 2:27 one day last week very handily.

ing Goldsmith Maid, I think she was the greatest
trotter that overlived. There will be others her equal,
but opportunities and circun&stances considered, I
don't believe her superior has been born so far."

No Corner in Harness Horses.

While at Pleasanton I met Mr. Geo. A. Kelly, for-
mer owner of the good mare Anzella 2:10A, that he
trained and raced to her record, and sold last week to
Pierce Brothers of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm. He
got $4000 in cash and a yearling colt valued at $1000
for the mare. He showed me the bank draft and the
colt so there is pretty good evidence that the price
named was paid. Tf the colt is not worth a thousand,
then no colt of the same age in these United States is
worth that sum. A picture of the youngster held by
Mr. Kelly's ten year old son is on the front page of
to-day's B. & S. By McKinncy 2:11$, dan Boasilene
2:14| by Stamboul 2:07i, second dam Bon Bon 2:26
(dam of Bonnie Direct 2:05i and Boosilene 2:14}) by
Simmons 2:28, third dam Bonnie Wilkes 2:29* (dam of
Bonnie Nutwood 2:29$) by Geo. Wilkes 2:22, fourth
dam Betty Viley by the thoroughbred horse Bob
Johnson, son of Boston. This colt is now a very
handsome yearling and will undoubtedly develop into
a grand looking horse. Mr. Kelly is one of the most
careful of trainers and will take every precaution to
see that the colt grows into a well developed horse
without having any blemishes He looks like a trotter
r nd will be one if there is anything in looks and breed-
ing. He is certainly one of the best bred sons of the
great McKinney and sons of that horse will be in
greater demand with each succeeding year.

In the last issue of the Chicago Horseman I noticed
the following brief item:

"It is quietly reported from Lexington that the en-
tire staff of our esteemed contemporary, the Kentucky
Stork Farm, suspended business for a few hours one
day recently to entertain a 'Mr. Budd Doble. ' "

Who the individual is that has been impersonating
the veteran who drove the champions Dexter. Gold-
smith Maid and Nancy Hanks to their records, is a
mystery, but we do know that the only and original
Mr. Budd Doble is enjoying good health and the glori-
ous climate of California at the present time, and that
on Tuesday of this week he sat in the office of the
Breeder and Sportsman and was drawn into a few
reminiscences of the old time record breakers, and
made this statement: "I believe there were horses
thirty years ago that possessed just as much speed as
do the best trotters and pacers to-day. There is a
much greater number of fast ones now, but in my
opinion the best of a quarter of a century ago were the
equal of anything that lives to-day. I firmly believe
that Goldsmith Maid, with the advantage of the bike
eulky. boots, harness and parlor tracks of the pres-
ent time, would have been able to trot as close to two
minutes as any horsecan trot to-day. Geo. M. Patchen
trotted a trial of 2:18A pulling a heavy high wheeled
wagon over a poor track, and when doing it was con-
sidered at least sixty pounds too heavy in flesh. He
was put through the sweating process to take it off
before he was permitted to race. They thought that
the proper way to train in those days. Flora Temple's
lightest sulky was one that weighed 90 pounds, and
she never pulled one around a turn that was thrown
up. She was a quarter grabber and the only boots
she wore were made of cotton, sewed into cloth, and
presented a clumsy appearance. We made the only
boots that Dexter wore out of old pieces of blanket
and they flapped in the wind like the sails of a small
boat. Goldsmith Maid's hind shoes weighed nine
ounces and her front shoes nearly twelve. I think her
lightest sulky weighed about forty-five pounds and
her harness about twelve. I got her when she was
ten years old and raced her nearly ten years. She
won over $360,000 in purses. If I had her now as good
as she was in her prime, I think the two minute trot-
ter would be very likely to be a fact. Don't under-
stand me to say that there has been no improvement
in breeding the trotter. There is a wonderful advance-
ment, but I am of the opinion that the great horse,
the perfect horse, like the perfect man, is liable to
appear at any time. There are more books written in
a month now than there were in a decade a few cen-
turies ago, yet Shakespearo has not been equalled.
Where would Napoleon have stopped bad he been
favored with modern war appliauces? Geo. Washing-
ton never had the opportunities that Grant did, yet
he was a greater man in my opinion. And in classify-

Mr. Doble does not look old enough to have been
the pilot of Dexter. He holds his age so well tha'. not
one man in a hundred will guess within ten years of it.
He is going East in May with that handsome pair of
roan mares owned by Chas. Newman of the Richelieu
Cafe in this city — Maud and Neerbell. Just what Mi-.
Doble will do with this team he does not say, but that
they will attract attention from the road drivers is
certain. They are well matched in size, shape and
gait, and have extravagant knee action and consider-
able speed. Maud, or Maud Newman as she is put
down in the Year Book, has a race record of 2 : 1 7 A .
She is by Anteeo Jr. 22,372, out of the pacing mare
Lady Pulsifer 2:26$ by Ulster Chief, grandam by Sir
Butrick. M-.iud could make a bit in the circus ring as
Newman has taught her a variety of tricks which she
does with as much intelligence as a horse can show.
Her mate Neerbell, is by Neernut 2:12], sire of Nee ret ta
2:09$-. Neerbell is one of the most promising trotters
in this part of the State and if Mr. Newman would
consent to part the team and train her for the races
she would be winning money in the 2:15 class this year.
Mr. Doble has been driving this pair for several weeks
past and has induced Mr. Newman to permit him to
take them East. Whenever he drives them down a
speedway or on a track there will be a ''rubbering" on
all sides and inquiries as to whence they came. A
well matched pair of high steppiog, fast trotting,
strawberry roan mares is not to be seen ofti n in this
or any other country.

McKinney is Popular.

Perhaps the most popular stallion in the LTnited
States to-day with breeders is McKinney 2:11$, the
greatest son of the great Alcyone. Last year at $100
the season he was mated with' over one hundred mares,
which was undoubtedly the heaviest season made by
a horse standing at that figure. Mr. Durfee has been
writing to owners of these mares to ascertain if possi-
ble just how many colts will result from the servicei
of 1901 and up to last week he had received information
of over eighty mares that had already foaled or were
known to be with foal to his horse. When the fact is
taken into consideration that no answers were received
from quite a number of breeders to whom Mr. Durfee
wrote, it will be seen that the percentage of McKin-
ney's foals this year will be very large and will fully
substantiate Mr. Durfee's advertised statement that
McKinney is as sure a foal getter as any horse in
California.

This year McKinney is to be limited to fifty mares
and of these thirty have already been booked and
brod. The horse is in as fine shape now as ever in his
life and his book will be filled within a few weeks in all
probability. He is getting a very choice lot of mares
this year.

Now that the Year Book for 1901 is out and the
statisticians are compiling their various tables of pro-
ducing sires, it is remarkable what a showing McKin-
ney is making. As a producer of 2:15 speed he still
holds, as he has for several years past, the lead of all
stallions of his age. We noticed in a recent table that
Alcantara, the present leading sire of 2:15 performers,
with 28 to his ceedit, had but one solitary representa-
tive in the 2:15 list when he was 14 years of age, while
McKinney at the same age has 19.

Another wonderful showing for McKinney is the
percentage of his get that are in the 2:2U list. The
Year Book credits him with 40 standard performers,
and of these 26 have records below 2:20, while only
five have marks as slow as 2:25 and only three slower
than 2:26. He has a producing son — Zombro 2:11, and
a producing daughter, Jennie Mac 2:09.

In the sales mart McKinney has led all stallions dur-
ing the past six months, as more of his get have been
sold for four figures than the get of any other horse.
There is probably not a McKinney for sale in California
to-day for less than +500. We heard of a stud colt by
him that had a tendon severed by a barb wire so that
he can never be trained or worked selling for $350 a
few weeks since and the present owner will not take
twice that sum for him now.

Sidney W. Giles, for the past nine years the efficient
secretary of the Cleveland Driving Park Company, has
been compelled to resign on account of ill health and
his resignation has been accepted with the greatest
reluctance, as Mr. Giles has the conlidence and esteem
of all who have had dealings with bim or the com-
pany he has so long been identified with. His suc-
cessor will be Mr. Geo. J. Dietrich, manager of the
/ liicaqo //"<>' <""" for the past, year and formerly
associate editor of the American Sportsman of Cleve-
land. Mr. Dietrich is well fitted for the position and
is very popular with horsemen all over the country.

All the signs indicate that the next trotting season
will be the busiest we have ever had. There are more
meetings, ljtver purses and longer-entry lists. Matinee
racing has a firm foothold, and gentlemen's driving
clubs increase in number, membership and popularity.
Even the speed ways grow more crowded. This happy
state of affairs is the natural outcome of the general
business prosperity. So many more people can indulge
their fancy for a fast horse and the manifold delights
that go with it. These are abundant reasons why the
demand forspeed and the better type of driving horsen
makes this demand urgent. The panic of 1893 hit tho
trotting horse breeders hard, and put many of them
out of business, and sharply curtailed the operations
of tnose that remaiued. You can't store trotters like
merchandise. When they are fit and ready they
shoull he sold, for no matter what the market con-
ditions are, there is always a stage with every horse
when he will sell for more money then than later on.
The market may get better, but the horse may hav.-
lost his marketable for m. That is why the wise owner
always sells when the best selling opportunity presents
itself, and in the long run comes out ahead. It also
explains why in the present condition of the harness
horse market, with an active and urgent demand on
one hand, and a keenly felt scarcity of good material
on the other, no trust is being formed to buy up every-
thing in sight. If some genius will only devise a
method by which a horse will keep in the pink of con-
dition and not grow old, now is the time to corner tho
light-harness horse market, and get any price almost
forspeeo, good looks and manners you care to ask
There would be "millions in it.'' But until this genius
arrives, the only alternative is to sell when your horse
is fit, and the buyer is at hand. The very best oppor-
tunity of the year is at the Cleveland Blue Ribbon sale.
It comes at the right season, in May, just as training
and road driving begins. It is the oldest established
auction of fast horses in America. More young horses
that become big winners, or rapidly increase in value
are purchased at this sale than any other. This
makes it the most popular in the whole country.
Many of the best buyers wait for it. Horses are ex-
hibited rigged for business. The speed can be shown
over the Cleveland track, under the watch, and a
buyeralways pays handsomely for what he sees. The
shrewd owner who has a horse fit and ready for the
market should make his entry without a day's delay.
The opportunity comes but once a year, and should
not be missed this time, because prospects for the
seller never looked brighter.

Barondale Doing Well.

Tom James, of San Jose, is much pleased with the
patronage his horse Barondale is receiving. He writes
us under date of March 23d that people are coming
everyday to look Barondale over and many are booking
their mares. Mr. John I. Sabin, the well known mana-
ger of the Sunset Telephone Company, has recently
booked a handsome and well bred mare to Barondale.
Mr. Chas. R. Detrick, a prominent citizen of Palo Alto,
has sent to Barondale his grandly bred mare Consola-
t rice by Electricity, dam Consolation (dam of Utility
2:13, Clarion 2:25^ and two producing sons) by Dicta-
tor; second dam Belle by Norman 25, third dam Vic
by Mambrino Chief 11, etc. In a letter to Mr. James,
Mr. Detrick says: "I cannot see how Barondale could
be improved in breeding or individuality, especially in
view of breeding to him such fine mares as have been
raised at Palo Alto. Men fortunate enough to own
these mares ought to thank you and the other gentle-
men with Wilkes stallions for the opportunity to follow
the well known advice of such a great authority as
Mr. Covey and breed to sons of Baron Wilkes, Alcyone
and Guy Wilkes. I expect to enter the Monbells
youngster of this year and the Barondale of next year
in all the futurities. You will notice that the latter
will have for great grandparents Geo. Wilkes, Nut-
wood, Electioneer and Dictator for stallions, and Belle
Patchen, Midnight, Beatrice and Belle for broodmares.
The pedigree will certainly be an ideal one in both
male and female lines and contain only great and
famous individuals."

Mr. James says that Barondale will have about all
he can do this season at San Jose. Mr. John A. Mc-
Kerron looked the horse over a few days since and
told Mr. James he need not hesitate to have such a
horse Jed out and shown at any time. The mares thus
far booked to the horse are of choice breeding and
extra good individuals, so the first crop of Barondales
in California should be a fine lot of colts.

Elliot W .Shanklin, a prominent trotting horseman
and member ot the sales firm of Woodward A Shank-
lin, has accepted the Secretaryship of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders' Association made vacant by
lie resignation of Horace WHson. .Mi-. Shanklin is
eminently qualified for the position ami the Kentucky
association is fortunate to secure his services.

Sacramento Track Notes.

Sacramento, Cal, March 26, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Considerable
interest is manifested in horse circles in Sacramento
just now as the time approaches for the spring meet-
ing of the Capitol City Driving Club and as the sea-
son is also coming on when the programs for the meets
in the different agricultural districts are in process of
formation.

The old Sacramento track, with all its historic asso-
ciations, will probably soon be a thing of the past; a
memory around which will cluster the names of many
turf celebrities that have carried their conquests into
other lands and placed California in the front rank
among the States that have brought the horse to the
highest state of perfection of form and speed. The
present track will doubtless be sold and a new fair
ground and track built a little further out and pro-
vided with all the modern appointments.

At present there are not so many horses at the track
as thei-e usually are at this season of the year. Among
the stables of trotters and pacers at the track Vet
Tryon has fourteen head. A pacer by Tom Benton
that has paced in 2:18, one by Falrose. a green trotter
by Sable Le Grand and several others.

H. S. Hogoboom has quite a string of green ones,
among them a yearling that he is quite sweet on.

S. W. Mitchell has two very promising ones. His
Zombro colt stepped a quarter in 35 seconds and the
Baron Wilkes colt one in 40 seconds.

L. M. Clark has Ouiboul 2:22 by Stambnul; he is
looking fine now and is in the pink of condition. He
also has a mare by Nephew and a three year old by
Whips.

Chris Jenson has a string, several of which are quite
fast.

Mrs. E. W. Callendiae has Guynut by Nutwood
Wilkes that is going some and also has the dam of
Guynut, Abbie Woodnut, in training for road races,
besides several others. WiLDITA.

Empire Track's Prospectus.

Horace WilsoD, who has been appointed secretary
of the Empire City Trotting Club, of New York, evi-
dently intends making that organization a leader in
harness racing affairs by much the same methods
which he brought to bear on the conduct of the meet-
ings of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Asso-
ciation at Lexington, where bis administration as sec-
rotary was marked by extraordinary success in the
association's affairs. In a letter outlining the plaDS of
the Empire City Club Mr. Wilton says:

This is practically the inaugural meeting at this
grand trotting plant — the costliest, most complete and
beautiful of the kind in the world, and it is the mani-
fest duty of every horseman interested in the advance-
ment of trotting sport to give his enthusiastic assist-
ance to the firm establishment of a representative
trotting club in the greatest city in the land.

The management is determined to make the Empire
Club the greatest trotting organization in history, and
will not be sparing of anything that will tend to that
end, but it must have the unqualified and hearty sup-
port of all horsemen to gain complete success. This
will mean much to every man in the business profes-
sionally. New York is already the best market in th6
world for harness horses, and the success of the Empire
track will make it vastly better. No driver wishing to
dispose of a first-class horse at a long price can possibly
figure out a better place to show him that in a good
race over the Empire track, with a thousand rich
road drivers looking on.

The policy of the management is to be straight,
fair, liberal and just. Discipline and observance of
rules will be strictly enforced. Good conduct, prompt-
ness and politeness will be insisted upon. AH drivers
will be required to wear colors of satin, or silk jackets,
as well as caps,. of bright colors, and the rest of their
attire must be neat. Drivers not possessiug such col-
ors will be loaned same by the management, and can-
not start without them.

No half-naked grooms will be allowed to expose
themselves on the track, and the management will sell
suitable cheap sweaters and cans to such as need them,
at cost, the amount to be charged to their stable.

In short, all details of these meetings will be up-to-
date, for New Yorkers will not "stand for" anything
but the best, and we hope to urove to the millions of
cosmopolitan, sport-loving people of New York that
trotting is really the greatest racing sport of America.

Trotters and Pacers at Honolulu.

A recent issue of the Hawaiian Gazette contains the
following:

Every Sunday morning now sees quite a crowd of
enthusiasts at the track, who come to see the amateur
reinsmenof the city indulge in a brush. On these
occasions every man in town who owns a horse seems
to turn out. Among the regulars are Captain Soule,
who drives his old standby Artie W.; W. H. Smith,
with a brand new 2:17J- pacer from the Coast; Alec
Harris, behind a likely looking brown trotter by Dex-
ter Prince; H. H. Perry, guiding a nicely gaited sorrel
pacer; W. H. Cunningham, with Wayboy, and M. H.
Drummond and Los Angeles.

Among the trainers now at the track is the veteran
Jack Gibson, who is on the turf again, after a lapse of
two years. He is looking after a green bay pacer be-
longing to Seeley Shaw, which is being jogged along
at a three-miaute clip. He also has a green Creole
pacing mare, half sister to Edith R., which won in the
Hawaiian breed class last year. The mare is the
property of Tom King.

Jim Quinn has a couple in hand, Waldo J. and
Cyclone. The "white ghost" is too well known to
local race-goers to need description; suffice it therefore
to say that he looks as well as he ever did in his life.
The other horse is a big upstanding black pacing
gelding, with a white blaze. He is new at the game
and worked along in 2:50 on Saturday with three or
four breaks thrown in. Ed Finn is working with
Quinn.

John Callan is snugly ensconced in the stabUs
occupied by "Bonnie" Judd last year, at the mauka end
of the track. In his string are Leahi, C. L. Wight's
Edna G-, and a green pacing mare by a son of Dexter
Prince, which looksbigenough foranything. Hollinger
exoects his pet, Leahi, to show his quality this year,
and he has now come to an age when she should.
Edna G., looking fat and well, was putting in slow
heats on Saturday, and pacing with machine-like
regularity.

Another old face at headquarters is Mike " Wela ka
Hao" Costello, who is in charge of W. Norton's game
little roan mare, Directress 2:24, which has not been
raced since 1900. He is occupying Larry Dee's old
suite of stalls, and expects to have a couple more
horses in a short time. It is said, by the way, that
Dee will keep Octoroon and Albert M. 2:29 in their
stables this year, as far as racing is concerned. Octo-
roon, however, is being jogged on the road all the
time.

The All Around Harness Horse.

Vance Nuckols, the Cleveland trainer who has been
so successful during the last two years, will have the
best stable of horses this year be has ever bad. He
wintered Tom Nolan 2:Q8| by General Hancock and
Home Circle 2:13J by Axiell, and he has recently added
to his stable Schley Pointer 2:16j by star Pointer, and
Rose Budd 2:13!| by Alcamedia. The last two were
campaigned on the Lake Erie Circuit tracks last year
aud attracted much attention. Both are expected to
beat 2:10 early in the season on the mile tracks

Capt. Rees Will Retire.

Capt. Rees, the most popular racing oflicul on the
running tracks, has announced that he will perma-
nently retire from the stand after the close of the
meeting at Louisville, Ky., this spring. Capt. Rees
has been in the judge's chair on all the leading tracks
of the country and has made a most enviable reputa-
tion. He is not a poor man by any means and has
only worked as he has for the sake of the sport and of
putting in his time actively in some congenial pursuit,
and since the middle of the New Orleans meeting now
drawing to a close he has been determined to get out
of the business for good and all. He was especially
hard in his rulings against some of the crooked steeple-
chase riders at that meeting and both he and his wife
have received many threatening letters from persons
supposed to be in the clique that was detected and
ruled off. Capt. Rees' wife is not strong and rather
than subject her to such a strain he will leave the turf
at the time mentioned. His loss will be sorely felt.

Answers to Correspondents.

C. S. B., Los Angeles — Zolock 2:10J is by McKinney
2:11^, dam Gazelle 2:lli by Gossiper 2:14|; second dam
Gypsie by Gen. Booth; third dam Echo Belle by Echo;
fourth dam by Lumnox; fifth dam by Gray Eagle.
He is owned by Mr. Ben Davies of San Bernardino,
California.

J. J. M., Visalia — The pedigree of Iris is not given
in the Year Book, except the statement that he is by
Eros. We believe, however, that his dam is by Elmo
891, and his grandam by Chieftain 721. We can find
no record of a mare by the name of Fiigo.

R. T., city — The name of the gentleman who pur-
cbased Miss Jessie 2:13f from C. A. Durfee a few weeks
ago is Gilbert E. Morton, and he resides at Kansas
City. We do not know the price paid as it is private.

At the Splan horse sale at Chicago last Wednesday
George H. Ketoham paid $6250 for the trotter Roy M.,
record 2:14J, over a half-mile track. It is understood
the horse will be sent to Englaud. May Allen 2:091
was purchased by C. W. Marks of Chicago for $2800.
Henry L. 2:15 brought $2400 from Georgo Castle of
Chicago.

Breeder and Sportsman: — Men who have made
fortunes in mercantile, manufacturing, banking and
mining ventures, and have alterwards given their
attention to the breeding of the all around, high act-
ing harness horse, have stated that it requires more
judgment to make a success in the latter than in either
of the former lines of business. When the truth is
learned it will generally be found that tho successful
men, those who have made fortunes in any business,
learned all branches of it in their youth and reached
the top by good judgment, practical experience and
hard labor.

Many start in the horse breeding business believing
themselves competent judges of wh.a« is required to
make a success, but their knowledge has been gained
entirely from books and newspapers, and they know
nothing of the practical side of the business. I have
known personally a few breeders of harness horses
who left snug fortunes made at the business, but they
were far-seeing, practical, good horsemen.

I have a friend who made a fortune dealing in high
class trotting-bred horses. In conversation with him
at one of the Western sales two years ago he said he
could not see why the horse breeding business could
not be conducted so as to make a profit, the same as
any other business. He said that he noticed the ten-
dence all over the country in late years was for all
lines to drift into their special grooves, and that
since he had confined himself to his specialty, the
trotting-bred coach or harness horse of high action,
he had been able to make it profitable. He was free
to admit that his preference in breeds was for the
American trotting-bred horse that furnishes every
variety of size and type, and said that breed fills nil
gaps between fourteen to sixteen hands high.

I said to this active, well-informed man: " Describe
to me, if you please, your fancy to produce that hand-
some, all around horse." His reply was:

"The Hackney and French Coach horses are both
good, but the high nerved American trotter is my
preference over all breeds; but there are many points
to guard against and if you can guard against these
you are pretty sure to produce a good type of horse.
If your broodmares are deficient in any particular you
should be vory careful not to breed to a stallion that
is deficient in the same place.

"For a show or coach horse the head should be of
medium length, broad between the eyes and jaws, tho
ear moderately thin and long, with a quick active
movement and setting erect. The eye should be full,
round and clear, neck not deep or heavy at the throat,
nor short and thick or straight on top, nor too long
and slim with a curve on the under side. Avoid ewe
necks alw vs. The neck should be of good length
with good depth at the shoulders, but not too
tbick. The crest should arch gently and be thin at
the top. The withers should not be low and thick,
but should be of good height and thin. I have heard
more fault fouDd among buyers over the mutton
shouldered type than all other imperfections com-
bined. Proper head, neck and withers are among the
most important points to be considered in the produc-
tion of the great ali-around harness horse for any good
market.

"The more all around, high trotting action a horse
has the more he is worth, and a horse with high, thin
withers is pretty sure to have high action. He should
bo deep and full at the heart, short back, strong over
the loias with long, well sprung ribs, hips long and
smooth, sloopiag gradually to the root of the tail,
which must be set on high and carried well up and
away from the body. There are a few important
thoughts for the breeders, the first of which is if you
wish to produce a 'pacing racing machine' breed to
such or the highest type of that class; if for a gentle-
man's light or heavy harness horse, breed to that
horse that produces such uniformly; that has style,
high trotting action, and after, if you fail to get high
trotting speed, you will in turn have a type of a horse
that will sell well at your stable front. Beware of low
bred stallions; don't breed to any inferior horse.
Secure the service of the handsome, high bred trotting
horse 'at thrice' the service fee. If your mare is of
inferior breed and quality, breed her to the best trot-
ting stallion that in your judgment will improve her
produce. Never at any time breed to a stallion that
would not produce a handsome"gelding, and don't try
to produce a class of horses all one size and color.
You will only suit one class of buyers. The best selling
size for show or coach horse is from 15 to 16 hands
high. Such sizes suit all comers. Such a horse with
such quality, substance, beauty and high trotting
action will find ready sale and has made the American
trotting horse famous the world over. In breeding
the speed alone should not be the only object in view.
At the best this will only show in sufficient quantity
about once in a life time, but if qualities are in evi-
dence, such as are described above, there is little
trouble to sell at a profit." Samel Gamble.

owner any good.

A new Ohio law makes it a crime to own a horse
whose tail has been docked. A penalty of from $25
to $100 is provided.

Alta Vela 2:15 will be trained at the Napa track this
year. Mr. Hooper arrived there with him and his
other horses last week.

Axtell is the sire of sixty-five 2:30 performers, fifty-
five of the number being trotters. Twenty-five of his
performers are in the 2:20 list.

The training season has now fairly opened at all the
California tracks and seats on the rail near the wire
are hard to get on workout days.

The first mile in 2:10, driven by an amateur in 1902,
was made at Los Angeles, Cal., recently, when Prim-
rose stepped that distance in 2:09}.

four year old Thornberg 2:184, winner of the three
year old race at Overland last year.

Valencia Stock Farm, at Arrowhead, California, has
just sold a team to a Pasadena man for $1100 and an-
other to a Redlands party for $900. Mr. Severance
writes us that all these horses were royally bred and
each had a strain of the great Electioneer blood.

John A. McKerron 2:06| is reported to have grown
and filled out considerably since last year. He is
entirely recovered from an attack of distemper which
caught him in December last. Doc Tanner is giving
him eight or ten miles of jog work at Cleveland every
dav.

The indications are that the big guns of the turf
will make the first sensational miles at ' Jiocinnati this
year instead of Detroit, for with $22*000 in purses July
1st to 1th, the Ohio city will catch most of the big
sta i les.

Bonnatellu. h is added new ho'nors to h- r European
turf record. In [tal.v lust month she won the Grand
i rotting Prize of 10,000 francs, trotting the first and
third heats of the 1$ mile race at the rate of 2:20 and
2:22. The second heat was won by Hornelia Wilkes,

Volunteer.

A gentleman who came down from Sacramento last
week informed us that the stallion James Madison 2:1 7^
was shipped to Kentucky a few days since by Mr.
Mackay, superintendent of the Haggin farm, and that
the son of Anteeo will make the season of 1902 in the
blue grass state

The annual sale of speed horses held by John S-
Lackey in Cambridge City, Ind., last week was one ofc
the most succesful in the history of the vendue.
Over 300 horses were disposed of for an average price
of $243, no sensational prices being paid and nothing
going begging for a buyer.

Mr. J. C. Bray, of Butte, Montana, who has been in
California for the past month buying road horses for
the business men and members of the driving club of
that city, expects to ship his purchases some time next
week. He has secured twelve head and has paid from
$200 to $600 for them.

Among the entries to The Norfolk $5000 purse for
2:24 class pacers, offered by the Read ville association,
is China Maid, the mare by McKinney 2:11^ out of
Blanch ward by Onward. She is entered in the name
of Thos. L. McAran, but is owned by the Chinese
Consul-General Ho Yow.

In the Kentucky Senate last week the Newcomb bil
prohibiting the docking of the tails of horses in Ken-
tucky was adopted. Senator Farris tried to secure an
amendment to the bill providing that it should not
apply to horses to be shipped out of the State, but the
Senate by a vote of 21 to 17 defeated the amendment,
and the bill was passed.

Alta Bois, a very promising young stallion by Alta-
mont, son of Almont 33, is owned by the Gospel Ridge
Stock Farm, near Griswold, la. He is siring a nice lot
of foals.

The Contra Costa County Agricultural Society, Dis-
trict No. 23, claims September 30th, October 1st, 2d,
3d aud 4th as its dates for this year's fair and race
meeting.

Audubon Bov 2:06, that started in twelve races, ten
of which he won and was second in the other two, has
wintered nicely in Scott Hudson's care and is looking
good and strong at every point.

Wayland W. 2:12* has been taken to the Napa track
by W. C. Hellman and will make the season there.
Wayland W. was one of the best trotters in California
in his racing days and since retiring to the stud has
been a success, being the sire of such fast ones as
Arthur W. 2:113 and John A. 2:12f, besides several
others with slower records.

The question as to what constitutes hereditary un-
soundness sufficient to disqualify animals intended for
breeding purposes has been officially decided by the
directors of the Boston Horse Show. Roaring, whis-
tling, ringbone, spavin, navicular disease and cataract
are specified as the only ailments giving cause for dis-
qualification on the score of unsoundness.

The Seventh Biennial Congress of the American
Trotting Association will convene at the Auditorium
Hotel, Chicago, Tuesday, May 6, 1902, at 12 o'clock M.,
for the purpose of electing officers and transacting
such other business as may be properly presented for
its consideration. The Board of Appeals of the Asso-
ciation will meet at the same place, May 6th, at 8
o'clock, P. M.

The horsemen of Haywards are agitating the ques-
tion of a race track atthattown. If -a regulation track
could be built and a live association with a live sec
retary take charge of it, harness meetings could be
successfully given that would attract large crowds.
It is one of the m03t ideal places for training in this
State, and can be reached by steam and electric lines
in an hour from San Francisco.

The earning capacity of the trotter down the Grand
Circuit is on the increase. At Detroit is the M. & M. $10,-
000, Read ville has the Massachusetts $15,000, Provi-
dence the $10,000 Roger Williams, Hartford the $10,000
Charter Oak, Srighton Beach the $10,000 Bonner
Memorial and one is to be opened by the Cincinnati
management. If the horse still remains grood be can
be accommodated at both Lexington and Memphis.

W. J. Irvine, of the Pacific Stables, Sacramento, is
very much pleased over the advent last Wednesday of
a big handsome bay colt by McKinney 2:1 1}, that was
presented to bim by his bay mare Lady Ansley by Our
Jack 2:13-}. The colt hasn't a white hair on him. Mr.
Irvine's boy has named the little fellow Sir Thom-is
Lipton. Over at the Lodi track last Saturday Tom
Holmes worked Mr. Irvine's sorrel gelding Talisman a
mile out in 2:18$.

A. J. Welch will try to arrange a great wagon race
for amateur reinsmen as a feature of the Fourth of
July trotting meeting at Oakley Park, Cincinnati.
He hopes to bring together Lucile 2:07, driven bj C.
K. G. Billings; The Monk 2:08}, driven by Fred
Gerken; John A. McKerron 2:10, driven by H. K.
Devereux: Lord Derby 2:06}, driven by E. E. Smath-
ers, and another fast horse, driven by Julius Fleisch-
mann, the Mayor of Cincinnati.

Thos. W. Lawson says that Boralma 2:07 will posi-
tively be a starter in the Boston Cup race this year
ualess he is ill or lame. Mr Gerken of New York,
owner of The Monk 2:08.1, king of the speedway, has
stated that he would rather win the cup race than a
ten thousand dollar purse and there are several others
among the wealthy horsemen who feel the same way.
It will be one of the greatest races of the year.

Mr. Frank H. Burke, of this city, was in Los Angeles
last week and tells us be saw as fine looking and prom-
ising a lot of colts by the stallion Zombro 2:11 as he
ever saw in training on any track. One worked a mile
in 2:21, anothtr in 2:23 and a green one that was just
learning trotted a half in 1:22. There were several
others that were reported faster stabled at the track,
but these were the only ones Mr. Burke saw worked
and they greatly impressed him with Zombro as a sire.

The news is that the great $10,000 race between
Thomas W. Lawson's Boralma and E. E. Smathers'
Lord Derby will be trotted over Charter Oak Park
track, Hartford, during the Grand Circuit meeting.
It is said that Marsh will not pilot Boralma in the race,
and the guess is that Myron E. McHenry will have the
mount behind the Lawson crack.

Among the sales of coach horses for $5000 under
strange names during the past year was the made-over
Dewey Bow Bells, that, owing to an injury, was pre-
vented from acquiring a record. This horse is a son
of Bow Bells 2:19J and the celebrated show mare and
speed producer Rachel Ray, dam of Commodore
Porter 2:13, the magnificent stallion Parole 2:16 and
Luzelle 2:15o, dam of Bowerman Bros.' handsome
show winner Libertine.

A former resident of Australia who is now in San
Francisco recently received a letter from a wealthy
man in that country asking him to secure a price on a
trotting stallion in California that was about 15.2 in
height, bay or brown, solid color, without blemishes
of any sort, standard bred and from a trotting family.
A horse with a good mark preferred and one that bad
broken down but could be fitted to show a half mile
at speed would not be objected to. Has any one such
a horse for sale?

The Greater Salem Stake of $2000 for pacers of the
2:18 class offered by the Oregon State Fair has very
attractive conditions. There are four moneys in the
stake and the horses that start and do not win any
part of the stake will have a purse of $500 offered for
them free of entrance during the meeting. In this
consolation race the money is divided $200 to first,
$125 to second, $100 to third and $75 to fourth. So
that there are certain to be seven of the original en-
tries that will not be out any money for entrance
while the eighth will only be shy $25. This is almost
as good as the merchandise stores that advertise
" money back if you want it."

Mr. John Fleet of Kamloops, B. C, who purchased
the stallion Acorn by Oaknut 2:24} as stated in this
paper last week, found he could not ship the horse
home by steamer owing to a recent rule of the steam-
ship company which prohibits horses being shipped
on passenge r steamers. As it is about as cheap to ship
two horses by rail as one, Mr. Fleet went up to Pleas-
anton and purchased from James Sutherland the very
handsome little brown stallion, Charley G., full brother
to Rey Direct 2:10 and De Veras 2:11}. While a small
horse in stature, Charley G. is strongly built and fast.
He has worked a mile in 2:18 trotting, but has been
permitted to pace recently and could take a low record
at the lateral gait. Mr. Fleet has secured two well
bred stallions in Acorn and Charley G,

If Mr. Lawson means to award the prizes he has
offered for the best names for horses with the name
Dreamwold Poncelacy as a model for those who com-
pete for the prizes to have in mind, then there will be
a lot of inexpressibly meaningless names in the next
volume of the trotting register. How much more ex-
pressive and significant is the name of Chimes whose
dam was Beautiful Bells, or Curfew, a son of Chimes.
Dissipation by Prodigal, Impeachment out of Electrix,
Emancipation out of Franchise, Welcome Home by
Prodigal, Searchlight by Dark Night, Summer Morn
out of Midsummer, Gammon out of Fib, Equity by
Heir-at-Law, Poem, Prose and Stanza, all out of
Sonnet: Merry Christmas by Santa Claus, Volunteer
and Sentinel out of Lady Patriot, Standard Bearer by
Volunteer, Rumor, Slander and Gossip, all sired by
Tattler; Fiction out of Romance, are other horses the
names of which, when connected with those of their
sires or dams, have some significance. If breeders
would endeavor — and it is a pleasure to know that
some of them do — to give their foals sensi
cant names, instead of the stupid combination as
bestowed on so many horses, the readers of the turf
papers would be ine'xpressibly delighted.— /iV

Old Broodmares.

! □ tly mention was made relative to Russell Sage's
breeding operations, and the fact that at 26 the dam
of his famous road mare Nellie proved fruitful. T. L.
Milspaugh, of Walden, X. Y., writes to the Sun that
at 26 Green Mountain Maid produced Lancelot by
Messenger Duroc. whom as a yearling the late Charles
Backman sold to William Russell Allen, of St. Louis.
to place at his Allen Farm. Pittsfield. Mass. Last
November Mr. Allen sold Lancelot to A. Koenig, who
represented Austrian breeders, and the grand, young
half-brother of Electioneer is now in foreign lands at
the stud. He cost Mr. Allen, it is said. $12,500 and
took a record at maturity of 2:23. Several of Lance,
lot's get took standard records in America, and the
few that were exported heretofore raced well in long-
distance races abroad.

At Mariposa Farm, near Pawtucket, Frederick C.
Sayles has the old mare Madeline 2:23 J by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian out of Robert McGregor's dam, now
28 years old and bearing a foal. She has bred
regularly the last few seasons and seems as well pre-
served as though in her teens. Her eye is bright, her
back is yet unswayed by age, her limbs are sturdy as
during her track days and few gray patches are to be
seen about her head. There are few her age in the
breeding ranks and she may be productive at 30. Few
mares, however, produce after their twentieth birth*
day. Beautiful Bells 2:29}. of the Palo Alto Stud, Cali-
fornia, produced eighteen foals In successive seasons,
but has been barren now five seasons. Ten of her
produce have records ranging from 2:12} to 2:30 and
Chimes has a record of 2:30s made as a three year old.
Lady Bunker, famous as the dam of Guy Wilkes
2:15} and William L., the latter the sire of Axtell 2:12,
was barren ten seasons and given up in despair. She
was by Mambrino Patchen from Joe Bunker's dam
and a splendid individual, consequently all too valua-
ble to allow to remain non-productive. Mr. Hamlin
wanted to experiment with her, so the late Gerhardt
Lang sent Lady Bunker to the court of the noted
National Horse Show winner, Mambrino King, son of
her sire, and she produced two fillies to him. One of
these is a speed producer already.

Some mares thet'o are that breed only alternate sea-
sons for some peculiar reason. At the Bates Farm
Waterton, Mass.. was kept a big mare, Pauline, by
Shakespeare, a pacing sire. Every second foal was
sizable, each intervening produce rather small. She
had about fifteen foals and throughout her experience
as a broodmare it was ever thus. On the same farm
was May Day, a daughter of famous Pocahontas 2:17/.
and at 15 she stopped breeding. It was hoped she
would become fertile again, but she never did. Her
daughter, Nancy 2:23}, by Daniel Lambert, never
would breed, although iu perfect state of health and
preservation. Others of her family were ever uncer-
tain. Her noted half-sister, Mr. Bonner's Young
Pocahontas 2:26}, was tried year after year at the
Bonner Farm only to die without leaving one foal.
Maud S. 2:08}, was never productive. Mr. Bonner's
noted mare Molsey 2:21J, produced her first foal at 21.
Sunol 2:08}, had a foal last spring, but it lived only
a day, being laid low by distemper. Goldsmith Maid
was not retired till 20, yet produced two foals that
lived to produce speed, her daughter, Rosebud, having
two in the list and Stranger living to sire 2:20 speed.
Flora Temple had foals late in life.

Formerly it was fancied that late foals of aged brood-
mares lacked the vitality of those earlier to appear:
yet Monbells, the last foal of Beautiful Bells, took a
record of 2:23J, with very little work last season and
showed high form in brushes. Mr. Sayles regards
Madeline's late foals as among the best at his farm,
and sees no reason why they should not take fast
records at maturity. Green Mountain Maid was so
highstrung she was never safe to hitch for a drive.
Her produce included Elaine 2:20, Prospero 2:20, Dame
Trot 2:22, Antonio 2:28}, Mansfield 2:26|, Lancelot
2:23, Storm 2:31 and Electioneer, the greatest sire that
overlived. Elaine is a rare producer at Palo Alto.
Prospero was, early in life much like his dam. One
day, it is related, he started to ruu away with the
Stony Ford trainer, having taken fright at some
object on the road, and struck a trot that was im-
pressive. Thereafter he was ever a true going fast
trotter and one of the first of the 2:20 trotters. Green
Mountain Maid's dam, the humble Shanghai Mary,
was a resolute mare and little did her owner expect to
see her a success as a speed progenitor.

Everything tracing to Green Mountain Maid is
golden in the eyes of the progressive breeder, yet the
Clay family was regarded with suspicion, and not a
few to this day seem to consider the Electioneers as
"Sunday trotters.'' Governor Stanford gave many of
them tincup records so as to secure to his horse and
his matrons a 2:30 list composed in the main of juve-
niles. But one pacer to take standard record did
Electioneer sire, Peruvian Bitters 2:231, yet many of

his more noted trotters wanted badly to pace. Bonita
2:1 v. whom Pierre Lorillard paid $15,000 for, paced
after retiring and in her old age was never known to
strike a trot. She brought fame to Electioneer, how-
ever, as a sire of early extreme speed, but Marvin had
lots to encounter converting her to a pure-gaited
reliable trotter.

In the old mare Nell by Estill Eric, John Shults
owns one of our best speed producers. She breeds
regularly at Shultshurst Farm, Mr. Shults' stud at
Port Chester, and has already contributed Yassar 2:07,
trotting record 2:21}: Belle Vara 2:08}, who was shifted
to the pace and showed fast: Susie T. 2:09,. a pacer,
and Ambidexter 2:11}, pacing brother to Susie T.
Vassar proved a failure at the stud, Belle Vara has
been bred by H. O. Havemeyer to an untried stallion.
Susie T. has refused pointblank to breed thus far, and
Ambidexter is a speedway star owned by Patrick
Kennedy.

It is not generally known that old Pocahontas died
bearing a foal to George Wilkes, yet William H. Tour-
telotte, twenty-five years the Bates Farm's superin-
tendent, has so stated. Every foal she produced ac-
complished something of note. Young Pocahontas
2:263 WBs sold to Mr. Bonner for $40,000. She was by
Ethan Allen. A full sister named May Queen went
blind but produced May Morning 2:30, the dam cf
Revenue 2:22} and others that are listed. Tom Rolfe
2:33 by Pugh's Aratus sired Young Rolfe 2:21}, who
dropped dead at Mystic Park. He gave the turf Nel-
son 2:09, once our trotting stallion king and salable at
$60,000 had Mr. Nelson so willed, as the late S. A.
Brown of Kalamazoo, Mich., offered that sum. May
Day by Miles Stand ish, son of Black Hawk, produced
Nancy 2:231; Blanche Jefferson, the dam of Charles X.
Reilly's beautiful black trotter Mahlon 2:131, as well
as his brother Arthur Cleveland 2:23',. and others to
produce speed. Young Strideaway by Black Hawk
Telegraph, from old Pocahontas, showed 2:151, but
died early in life leaving the trotter Spratt 2:28} and
Mr. Darling's famous broodmare Young Daisy, the
second dam of several fast Axtells, also the foundation
mare in the pedigree of Kingmond 2:09, who swept
through the Grand Circuit of 1900 and won many
thousands in the big stakes. He sold for $3000 here
recently and is now on the speedway.

The widely known breeder, Peter C. Kellogg, has
long had an idea that if Orange county breeders were
to pick up a few of the best individuals sold without
pedigree by the Breeders' Protective Association yearly
at Lexington, and breed them to their standard bred
trotting sires we would in a few years see the wisdom
of such mating. Palo Alto 2:08} was produced from
thoroughbred Dame Winnie, Sunol's second dam was
by Lexington, and various other thorough and part-
bred mares figured prominently in the building up of
the Palo Alto stud. J. B. Haggin's splendid sire Dan
Cupid 2:09} traces to stout thoroughbred ancestry and
was one of the gamest to appear in our races. — Y. )".

Cresceus' Campaign for Coming Season.

Toledo, March 16. — George H. Ketcham returned
to Toledo last night after a trip West, and one of the
first things he did was to deny the report that he
would equip a new track here. He handed out his
itinerary to-day for Cresceus' campaign this coming
season. The champion trotter will make his first public
appearance at Indianapolis on August 21st. He will
be at Dayton on Aug. 28; at Albany, Sept. 15; Syracuse,
Sept. 11; Philadelphia, Sept. 25; Memphis, Oct. 16:
Birmingham, Oct. 23; Atlanta, Oct. 30; Montgomery,
Nov. 6: Mobile, Nov. 13; Havana, Nov. 27. At all of
these places Cresceus will be paced by the runner,
Mike the Tramp. Thus far Ketcham has been abso-
lutely unable to secure a race. He is now getting a
shipment of speedy horses ready to send to Europe to
fill special orders. Cresceus is in exceedingly good
condition and is in stud this spring.

News From the North.

Brighton Beach entries show that five California
stables propose to race at the big New York trotting
meeting. In the $10,000 Bonner Memorial for 2:12 trot.
ters, which has 20 nominators, C. E. Clark, of Fresno,
has taken a nomination which is doubtless intended
for Sue 2:12} by Athadon. The Hiram Woodruff
2:20 class trot is for a purse of $5000 and has received
entrees from two California stables. W. G. Durfee
names Ben Liebes, Coronado and Deacon Chase, all by
McKinney, and Petigru, the bay stallion by Kingward
that he purchased in the East last year. C. E. Clark
has named his horse Cozad 2:20} in this race. No less
than 48 owners have made entries in this stake, with
from one to eight entries each. In the Metropolitan,
a $5000 purse for 2:30 class pacers, C. L. Griffith, of
Pleasanton, has entered Domino and Rector, both by
Rect 2:16}. Rector is out of Bon Bon, the dam of
Bonnie Direct 2:05} and Bonsilene 2:14}. Mr. Juan
Gallegos, of Mission San Jose, has entered his black
filly Trilby by Direct out of Bessie Wilkes by Sable
Wilkes in this race, and O. A Hickok names Col. Kirk-
patrick's colt Thornway by Steinway in the same event

[Portland Rural Spirit.]

Direct C, full brother to Freddy C. 2:14}. has been
gelded.

There is a pair of Del Norte colts at Walla Walla,
two year olds, that can trot quarters better than 40
seconds.

Freddy C. 2:14} is entered in the 2:15 pace at Cleve-
land, Ohio. This looks like the little black rascal will
be on the Grand Circuit this season.

W. G. Eaton of Portland has sold Ms driving team
Road Boy 2:16} and Newsboy to C. X. Larrabee, who
will take them East.

The Washington State Fair has announced two
$1000 stakes for their fall meeting, one for 2:20 pacers
and the other for 2:40 trotters. Entries close May 1st
with T. B. Gunn, secretary.

The Riverside Driving Club has been offered free
use of Irvington track by Messrs. Helman & Simpson,
in the afternoons during the driving season, for a
speedway.

A. C. Lohmire has bought the green pacer School
Boy from Wallace L. Whitmore of Idaho. The horse
was shipped down in a special car, and will be put in
condition for matinee racing. He is sired by Bill
Frazier 2:14, out of Miss Blanchard by Hambletonian
725. Mr. Lohmire expects to hold the wagon record
of the seventh ward with him before the snow flies.

The Roswell, Colorado, half-mile track has been
plowed and resoiled this winter. There are about
thirty-five horses quartered there: Roy Day 2:13'.

Death of Electric Bell.

With much regret we annouoce the death of this
valuable stallion, which occurred at the farm of his
owners. Messrs. Butt and Lower, at Gettysburg, Pa.,
on Wednesday, March 12th. Electric Bell, as is well
known, was a son of Electioneer and Beautiful Bells
2:29} and was foaled March 12, 1888, at Palo Alto Farm
and was purchased by Messrs. Miller and Sibley of
Franklin, Pa., when beside him dam, for $12.500 — the
record price for a trotting weanling. As soon as old
enough he was placed in the stud at bis new owners'
Prospect Hill Farm, where he remained until about
three years ago, when he was purchased by Hon. J.
W. Bailey of Texas, who, in turn, sold him to Messrs.
Butt and Lower in 1900. Electric Bell never appeared
upon the turf, but his produce have shown him a
worthy member of the wonderful "Bells family." His
son Captor 2:09} was one of the most sensational
Grand Circuit trotters out last year and besides bim
Electric Bell is credited with nine standard trotters
and one pacer, the most of them having made their
records at early ages. It is said that Electric Bell had
not fifty foals old enough to train prior to this season.
As, in the natural order of things, he should have
been good for eight or ten years more of stud service,
his death is a very severe loss indeed. — fforse lit'i' w.

Eleata 2:083-4 Will Race Again.

Superintendent Dan Mahaney of the celebrated
Maplewood Farm, Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
writes us as follows about the Palo Alto bred mare
Eleata, winner of last year's M. & M., and heaviest
winner of all trotters on the Grand Circuit of 1901:
Portsmouth. N. H., Mar. 17, 1902.

Breeder and Sportsman — Gentlemen: Some of
our Eastern papers have been agitating the question
about Eleata 2:08} being raced this year and reported
that she might be bred and given a year's rest, all of
which came from an unreliable source. In renewing
my subscription to your paper, I will say Eleata is
being jogged every day by Mr. Hiram Tozer and is as
big and strong as a draft horse and will be got ready
to race in any or all of the classes to which she is
eligible, and should all go well with her there might
be a new race record for mares made d uring the season
of 1902. Glad to see so much interest in the horse
business on your side of the country. It looks now
like it will be the best year for the trotting horsemen
ever known the country over. Yours very truly,

Das'l Mahaney,
Supt. Maplewood Farm.

HIDALGO'S GOSSIP. J

SPECIAL CORRESPOSDEXCK

•

Los Angeles, March 20th.
There has been a good deal of queer looking running
at the Oakland track, during the past three weeks;
and vet, while appearances are very much against cer-
tain beaten horses, it is by no means certain that there
was any fraudulent intent upon the part of owners,
trainers or jockeys. Horses are like men, the victims
of whims and moods, not to say "isms,- as the late
Secretary Brewster was wODt to put it. Some of the
more acrobatic offenders beat stake horses one day
and are beaten by the slowest of selling platers, a day
or two later. Whenever the offender is a poor man's
horse, his owner gets suspended for a month, at least;
and if it occurs twice in one season, the stewards come
down on him with a verdict of expulsion. August Bel-
mont had out three horses in one season, all by old
Rayon d'Or and all bad actors at the post— Octagon,
Firearms and Don de Oro. Nobody for one moment
would suspect that gentleman of wanting to lose a race
from a desire to enrich his individual bank account,
but it goes without saying that had the three horses
above mentioned belonged each to a poor man, their
three owners would have gotten the "walk off" order
at their second failure to win. It is hard to imagine
three faster or more inconsistent performers than
they were. Hence I say there are a great many
charges of crooked work on the track that have no
real foundation in fact. Much of this work comes
from reporters on the daily papers who get lazy and
don't go out to look at the horses in their preliminary
work. They go out to see the races at the appointed
hour and then take the word of some unsavory and
irresponsible "tout" who tells them:

" Hully gee! Yer orter have seen Bullwhacker go up
dat back stretch dis mornin'. Went to der half in
forty-seven and under a big pull; and dat stable boy
on him weighed a hun-twenty if he weighed an
ounce." Or this:

"Snuffy McGuffin give Powderhorn three-quarters
in 1:14$ dis mornin' and der colt jist chewed it up like
it was* oats. He'll win dis fourth race to-day in a
walk."

The reporter to whom this is addressed, goes out
into the ring an - plays Bullwhacker ' 'across the board
for $2 each way and has the supreme disgruntlement
of seeing him finish fifth in a very ordinary lot of
horses. To get even on that misfortune, he waits
until the fourth race and then plays Powderhorn
straight and place, there being no show odds against
him, as his price is 5 to 2. Perhaps the jockey is
unable to get him off straight or perhaps he does not
like the footing, for he is never prominent at any part
Of the race. The consequence is that all parties con-
nected with these two horses — Bullwhacker and Pow-
derhorn— come in for a first-class "roast" in the next
issue of the Daily Gridiron. It is not that these re-
porters are not good judges of performances. They
are, but they get lazy and don't exercise sufficient
vigilance over the branch of business entrusted to
them. In the California Derby, all three reporters
tipped Sombrero to win and Water Scratch to get
second money; and as there was more money to be won
by Water Scratch coming second than by backing
Sombrero to win, scores of men lost their money on the
son of Helen Scratch, who was beaten over fifty yards.
A moment's reflection would' have convinced them
that Helen Scratch has had a half dozen foals to race
and Imperious was t^e only one that could last above
a mile. They have all been short horses — barring the
son of Morello.

Mr. Spreckels' new stallions will have a good oppor-
tunity at the Napa Farm, of which George Berry, a
very painstaking man, is the superintendent. Mr.
Spreckels has a very large lot of finely bred mares,
which he has been gathering in the past eight years.
Among them are several daughters of Flambeau, con-
cerning whom I wrote last week; and I look for them
to drop some good horses next year to the cover of
Solitaire and Marius. Flambeau should be a great
broodmare sire, because he contains the blood of Mel-
bourne, Emilius, Wild Dayrell, Velocipede, Hermit
and Castrel, all famous as sires of great matrons. I
rank the broodmare sires of the past sixty years as
follows:

1. Touchstone. 6. Rataplan.

2. Melbourne. T. Scottish Chief.

3. Pantaloon. 8. Wenloek.

14. Stuckwell. 9. Isonomy.

5. Hermit. 10. Hampton.

Stockwell got 7 of his best 10 performers out of
daughters or grand daughters of Touchstone or Pant-
aloon. Hermit's best success was on the daughters of
Stockwell, while Adventurer, by the same sire, got his

best from the daughters of Rataplan, who was a full
brother to Stockwell. King Tom's daughters bred
well but not equal to those above. Harkaway was
sadly deficient in sire blood, as Mr. Bruce Lowe shows
beyond all dispute, yet his son, King Tom, got St.
Angela, dam of St. Simon, the only English s .allion to
head the list of winning sires for nine (9) seasons,
Stockwell and Hermit being premiers each for seven.
Touchstone led for five seasons, once at 24 years of
age, whiie Birdcatcher, Orlando, Melbourne and Galo-
pin were each in front for three years. Neither Bend
d'Or, Doncaster, Isonomy, Sterling, Wisdom, Parme-
san, Scottish Chief, Rataplan, Barcaldine, Sweetmeat,
Rosicrucian nor Voltigeur ever headed the list
although the former got "the horse of the century''
and Isonomy is the only stallion in history to get two
winners oi "the triple crown." This may sound
strange to those who give Ruff's Guide a hasty perusal
but I have all the figures in my book-rack, ready for
their perusal in case they doubt this assertion.

The lowest amount credited to any premier sire in
England since 1840 was £8665 to Epirus in 1850, he
beating Voltaire by the very narrow margin of £141;
and in 1894 Isonomy, as second on thelist to St. Simon,
had £42,055, which was more than had been previously
credited to any premier stallion, except the following:

1866— Stockwell £61,391

1867— Stockwell 42,521

1882— Hermit 47,311

1889— Galopin 43,516

1892— St. Simon 53,504

Sir Dixon was our premier sire in America last year
with over $165,000 to his credit, being about $49,000
more than was credited to Hanover in 1897, his best
year. The lowest amount credited to any premier
stallion in these United States of ours was to Leaming-
ton in 1897, being $41,170, the great Lexington having
headed thelist with $120, 360 in 1870, when racing prizes
were not worth more than 40 percent of what Hanover
had in 1897. Look the whole ground over and you
will agree with me that Hanover was a great horse,
but a very lucky one as a sire, for one cannot imagine
a horse more deficient in sire blood. But six of his
sons are already the sires of good winners and Hanover
scarcely three years dead. His marvelous success is
the paradox of the century, so far as breeding was
concerned, for he seemed to "nick" with all sorts and
conditions of mares, frequently getting stake horses
from mares that had only produced selling platers to
the best sires in the country.

Speaking of Flambeau, a while ago, and referring to
his having a cross of Wild Dayrell through that good
filly Romping Girl, makes me remember that both Wild
Dayrell and his sire, Ion, were decidedly "hard luck"
horses. Ion ran second to Amato in the Derby of
1838 and when Sir Gilbert Heathcote pulled the saddle
off the winner and said he should never run another
race, General Peel felt very good over his St. Leger
chances at Doncaster. But there he was doomed to
run second again, this time to Don John, who won the
Doncaster Cup at the same meeting, beating the famous
Beeswing and The Doctor. Ion got Wild Dayrell and
Poodle, the latter winning the Great Metropolitan;
and while Ion was only rated as a second class sire dur-
ing his lifetime, you can scarcely find a first class horse
of to-day that has not a cross of Ion in him.

Passing on from Ion to his best son, Wild Da;> rell, we
find that his get were decidedly unlucky. Honor (sent
afterwards to Australia) was third in Thormanby's
Derby at 80 to 1,'Wild Agnes was se3ond for the Oaks,
while Hurricane, Romping Girl and Ischia were each
third. But it is in the One Thousand Guineas that
the ill luck of Wild Dayrell's daughters becomes most
apparent, as Hurricane won it in 1862, while Avalanche
and Wild Agnes were second and Ischia third, on every
occasion, to fillies that were not good enough to win
The Oaks- Wild Dayrell was the tallest horse that
ever won the Derby till Common carried it off in 1891i
being 161 hands high. He was the most beautiful
horse of his day, with a possible exception of the
Knight of Kars. The latter became a savage and had
to be destroyed, while Wild Dayrell died of heart
disease at fifteen years of age. That is why they are
so seldom found in modern pedigrees.

The Greatest Broodmares.

The table of Great Broodmares which appears in the
Year Book is made jp first of "mares that have pro-
duced two or more trotters with records of 2:30 or
better, or two or more pacers with records of 2:25 or
better, or one trotter with a record of 2:30 or better
and one pacer with record of 2:25 or better; second,
mares that have produced one 2:30 trotter or one 2:25
pacer and another son or daughter that has sired or
produced a 2:30 trotter or a 2:25 pacer." This table is
growing very rapidly, and now fills 170 pages where
48 pages sufficed in 1894.' Of the mares that have a
place among the Great Broodmares, there are thirty-
three that have produced six or more with standard
records as follows:

It will be noticed by anyone who takes the trouble
to look up the pedigrees of the stallions standing for
service in California this year that our horses are par-
ticularly strong in the blood lines of the very greatest
of these great ones. Beautiful Bells, Green Mountain
Maid, Alma Mater, Minnehaha, Sontag Mohawk, Miss
Russell, Tecora and Bicara are the names of those
most familiar to our breeders, while Soprano, dam of
ten, has a full brother here in Steinway, the premier
of Oakwood Park. The founders of the great stock
farms in California were wise in their generation and
the fact that they secured so much of the greatest
broodmare blood, not only accounts in part for this
State's marvelous success in breeding the American
trotter, but reflects the greatest credit on their judg-
ment and foresight.

Since Mr. E. H. Harriman lost Stamboul 2:071, the
head of the Arden Farm stallions, he has decided to
replace him with his noted pacer, John R. Gentry
2:001, who is now the sire of Gentry's Treasure 2:10
and Jim Ramey 2:101. As nearly all of the stock on
this farm is by Stamboul, it is believed that the cross
with Gentry will produce speed equal to any of the
stallions now standing in that section. The placing of
Gentry at the head of this farm will retire him from
the turf for good.

Trout Fishing Notes.

On Tuesday next the open season, in this State, on
troui will commence and from present indications it
would seem that the banks of streams within easy
reach of this city are destined to be visited by many-
anglers. Despite the fact that streams are generally
known to be high, reports from many sections are
indicative of fairly good fishing thus early in the sea-
son. Fly-fishing will not prevail to any great extent
for a month at least.

The outlook od the streams along the California and
Northwestern Railway is excellent, although many
streams are high the water is clear and fish are
plentiful In the Mendocino streams the prospects for
the 1st are better than has been the ease for years.

In Marin county, the Paper Mill creek and tribu-
taries are also reported to be in inviting condition
although containing plenty of water.

Advices from the south are favorable to sport next
week, from Ben Lomond local sportsmen predict good
fishing in all the streams contiguous to that point.
The high water during February cleaned out the
streams, washing away the drift and other obstruc-
tions, enabling the fish to get up stream. In this sec-
tion are the San Lorenzo river. Newell creek, Love
creek, Clear creek and numerous small streams all
within a short distance of town where first class
accommodations ean readily be had.

A report lrom Boulder creek is encouraging for good
fishing on this favorite staeam which has a reputation
as a good early fishing water.

From Los "Gatos word has been received that the
indications are good for fishing in that vicinity. Local
anglers, however, Delieve the fishing will commence to
be better from and after April 15th as the streams are
now rather high. It will probably be a good plan to
leave the train at Wrights' or Laurel station and fish
down stream as the Los Gatos creek has a number of
feeders in that vicinity where trout can be found.

For possibly six weeks most of the fishing will be
found in the Coast streams and tributaries. The
attractions of the Cualala, Novarro, Noyo, Garcia, Big
river and other streams are tempting and will attract
a number of anglers during the opening weeks of the
season.

Probably, for the present, the best fly-fishing will
be found at the head of streams and in their tribu-
taries where the water is lowest. Dark flies, as a rule,
will be the most effective lure — the blue bottle, brown
and gray hackle, governor, improved governor, March
brown, brown wing, biack gnat, black ant, coche-y-
bondhuareallgood early flies. As the season advances,
lighter colors will be available, in keeping with the
prevailing tones of the insect life on the streams.
Some anglers will wade down stream for a long dis-
tance, closely observing what insects, etc., are present
and which particular kind the fish are feeding on;
then from the fly-book is selected the applicabl
flies and then the fun begins. Other anglers will take
a fish any old way and then endeavor to find out what
the trout are feeding upon by an examination of the
fish's stomach.

A letter from Mr. W. S. La Sells, at Sims, states
the scarcity of snow on the surrounding mountains
insures low water and is favorable for early fishing.
The fishing streams tributary to the Sacramento at

that point are Meat's. Hazel. Flume and Shotgun
creeks. The fish in these creeks, while running rather
small, are plentiful and readily take the fly. A report
from fpton is to the effect that little fishing in the
McCloud is anticipated before April 15th.

From Boca comes word that fishing promises to be
good, but hardly before April 15th, the Truckee and
adjacent streams being now high and muddy; there is
also considerable snow yet in that region. Bait fish-
ing will be good as soon as the snow disappears: fly-
fishing will come in with the warm weather. At
Truckee, the river is reported to be low and clear.
The prospects from Truckee down are quoted as good.
At Reno, for those who have the time for a rather
long trip, there is at present splendid spoon fishing
below the dam; the stream is full of Pyramid lake and
rainbow trout, large fish, all in spleDdid condition.

Fly-Casting.

The fly-casting club members had two pleasant
meetings* at Stow lake, Saturday and Sunday last.
The average of work was excellent, as will be seen by
reference to the score below. A noticeable feature of
the long distance work is the rapid progress shown by
J. B. Kenniff in working up to the top-notchers.
Harry Golcher, so far, is next to Champion Mansfield
in this event. The general tone of the fly-casting by
most of the new beginners shows rapid improvement
in the different events. The records made were:

Entries for the San Francisco Kennel Club show
close on April 12tb.

A string of twenty-two dogs left on the steamer
Pueblo this week destined for the northern show cir-
cuit. Jack Bradshaw leaves on Sunday by train with
his string of dogs for the north.

Prospects are dim for a Los Angeles show this
spring. One reason for the postponement is lound in an
amusing story now going the rounds concerning two
prominent and leading spirits of the southern kennel
club. One of the principals is a well known Los An-
geles real estate broker, and we believe a comparative
novice in matters pertaining to doggy affairs, up to
the time of the show last October in Los Angeles.
The other party concerned, is well known here as an
employee in the office of past shows in this city. This
individual was a potent influence for a time in Los
Angeles and was apparently an active and valued ele-
ment in bringing about a most desirable and happy
state of affairs in southern dogdom, particularly so
with the recruits to the ranks, who of course were in
need of information of the righ sort — and they doubt-
less got it in wholesale quantities, or we are not good
at guessing. After the October show the two fanciers
mentioned announced a partnership in the real estate
brokerage business. For awhile everything went on
swimmingly with the new firm, when, as was antici
pated by those whose experience warranted their
entertaining pessimistic views, concerning the perma-
nence of the business alliance, or the uneventful and
quiet career of the new comer down south, the ex-
pected rupture took place recently. Whatever the
merits of the case we are not prepared to say, there
were, however, accusations and recriminations and
several spicy newspaper notices of the row going on.
The Los Angeles man claimed that the disturbing ele-
ment was of the fair sex and that the business was
not prosperous enough to stand an increased and
strenuous draft on the financial returns of the firm.
The other contended that the Los Angeles man was
the wrong-doer in many ways. The two had a lively
turn-up in the office one day, the freckla faced mem-
ber of the firm dodged an ink bottle or two, and beat
a hasty retreat from the office. Other matters devel-
oping shortly afterwards, induced both individuals to
take to the woods and stay there, for both of them are
non est. despite some little effort by interested parties
to find them.

Lake Merritt has recently attracted the attention of
striped bass fishermen. The fish have been very plen-
tiful there, feeding, it is believed, on the myriads of
small fish found there. At all events a large number
of bass have been taken during the last ten days,
many of them on hand lines or any old tackle. On
Friday last one fisherman caught, with a hand line, a
sixteen and a twenty-two pound bass. E. W. Currier
and a friend caught sis nice bass last Saturday. G.
Bliss landed four and F. Carroll six on Sunday. On
Monday A. ~M. Gumming caught two bass, weighing
respectively ten and twelve pounds. Messrs. Burling-
ame and Chadwiek, two well known Truckee river
experts, propose to have their initial try at clam
throwing for bass to morrow.

Bass fishing is rather trying for fly-fishermen until
the style and ways of the bass have become somewhat
familiar. In fly-fishing a simple turn of the wrist
will hook a trout on the light tackle. With striped
bass a good, strong and heavy strike is necessary to
fasten the hook in the mouth of the fish. It is also
necessary to strike quickly; when the slightest indica-
tion of a fish at the clam bait or trolling spoon is
shown the angler should be prompt in responding with
a strong strike.

The Xapa Fish and Game Protective Association
held a meeting on the 7th inst. They will request the
Fish Commissioners to appoint seven deputies to patrol
the streams of Napa county. Friday, Lester Drake.
Deputy Fish and Game Warden, and George Saunders
were at the dam in Wild Horse Valley, and caught the
three Kennedy brothers, who were fishing out of sea-
son.

The trap shooting attraction at Ingleside to-morrow
will be the merchandise shoot of the Union Gun Club,
Six events, two of them merchandise, are on the card.
All shooting will be squad shootiDg, known traps, no-
known angles, handicaps from 14 to 20 yards.

Phil B. Bekeart, Otto Feudner and Harvey Mc-
Murchy left on Wednesday for Kansas City. They
will take part in the Grand American Hannicap. 1
is possible they may reach Kansas City io time to £
Elliott and Crosby shoot for the Cast Iron medal.

At Alameda Point last Sunday the Empire Gun Club
concluded their first shoot of a series of 5 for the blue
rock season. This shoot was postponed from the 9lh
inst., reports Secretary J. B. Hauer. when weather
conditions would not permit the carrying out of the
entire program. Club members and visiting sports-
men were out in force and two bulkheads were kept
busy all day. A. J. Webb, the club's crack shot, had
highest score for the beautiful diamond medal which
is offered for this season and he also annexed first
money and tied C. C. Juster for highest average for
the special handicap gun. R. C. Reed made best score
in the Sweeney record medal race for the day. The
detailed scores for the several events follow;

Ten bird race— Hodapp 7. 8, 9: Webb 10, 9, 8, 9;

cap system ranging from 16 to 22 yards. The different!
shooters, handicaps and scores were as follows,
shooting being at 25 birds, 15 singles and
doubles: —

First Class— Swales 12, Webb 23, Baird 15, Fish loj
Hodapp 12. Webb having highest score in this cl* J

\. S. Webb and C. C. Juster are tied on highest scores
for the day in the match with 15 breaks each go their
credit.

Sweeney Record Medal — This medal is offered by the
doDor for the highest score in this event made at any
time during the season of five shoots. Contestants are
privileged to enter four times at each shoot during the
blue rock season. The peculiar conditions of the
match are that for each five consecutive breaks the
shooter is handicapped two additional yards until the
twenty-yard mark is reached, when doubles are shot
at until a bird is missed.

Much interest was taken in the race, but owing to
the heavy wind that blew across the traps at. intervals
during the day few of the shooters cared to make any
attempt at record breaking, which will explain why
moro numerous entries were not recorded. The scores
in this event for the day were as follows:

Swales 0, Reed 11, Hauer, Leavell 0, Searles 1, Searles
3, FishO, Fish 1, Leavell 1, Swales 0, Hauer 9, Leavell
0. Reed had high score -for the day with Hauer a
close second.

The Golden Gate Gun Club shoot at Ingleside last
Sunday was conducted under favorable auspices,
weather conditions and a choice lot of birds were both
factors in making the sportsmen enjoy the day.
Twenty-eight men, club members and guests, faced
the traps in the opening event, the club race at fifteen
live pigeons. Those who killed their full quota of the
birds were G. H. T. Jackson, A. R. Jackson, Harvey
McMurchy, W. B. Murdock and C. C. Nauman. The
purse given by the club was divided by Murdock,
G. and A. R. Ja'ckson and Nauman. Gold bars were won
by the five shooters mentioned on the straight scores.
In the club race, silver bars, for a run of twelve
straight, were won by "Will" Golcher, "Phil" Bekeart,
Fred Feudner and Ed Donohoe. In a "miss and out"
shoot following, thirteen men entered. On the twelfth
round Bekeart, McMurchy, Otto Feudner, Nauman,
Murdock and Forster were tied on straights of a dozen
birds each. These shooters then divided the purse,
thus allowing a new event to be started, in which a
number of shooters who were on the anxious seat, after
losing one bird, commenced afresh. The five shooters
mentioned all won silver bars on the straight run of
twelve birds In a six-bird pool following, McMurchy,
George Jackson, C. G. Creyk, a well known Illinois
trap shot from Chicago, who had a lenient handicap
at twenty-eight yards; C. H. Sbaw, A. R. Jackson and
"Eg" Forster divided the pool money on clean scores.
Dr^McConnell aDd W. L. Gerstle also made straight
scores in tbis shoot. In another six-bird pool, George
Jackson, McMurchy and A. M. Shields killed straight.
In tbis race the shooters who dropped five pigeons
were in a 20 per cent division of the pool; they were M. O.
Feudner, C. H. Shaw, A. R. Jackson and "Eg" Forster.
A third six-bird pool was shot, Feudner, Shields and
Forster dividing the purse. Shaw and Shields tried
their skill, after the club shooting, at double birds.
A number of guests shot with the club members in
the various events. A noticeable feature of the day's
shooting was the clever work of E. E. Drake, who is
comparatively a novice at trap shooting, particularly
live bird work. The best average gun of the day was
McMurchy's, who lost but one bird out of forty-three
shot at. C. G. Creyk, the Eastern crack, has a showy
styl of quickly using his second Darrel. His rapidity
of' fire was as unavailing later in the day as it was
effective during his first contests. He was a victim of
shooter's luck, as he is a very clever artist with a
shotgun.

The birds, as a rule, supplied during tne day were
remarkably good, few pigeons being refused by the
shooters. Starter "Dick" Dwyer, who shot as a club
guest, dropped several birds that were phenomenally
swift. The same distances at which the shooters stood
in the club race prevailed in the subsequent matches.

The "Antlers Gun Club" held the first shoot of the
season two weeks ago at the Lincoln Gun Club grounds,
on Alameda Point. This club is an organization
composed of members of the Oakland Lodge of Elks
and its officers are: President, Joseph Ghirardelli,
Vice-President, Max Schleuter; Secretary and Treas-
urer, Jack Matthews; Manager, W. B. Jeffrey.

The principal race of the day was the initial shoot
for a medal given by J. Col. Ewing. The trophy will
be won by the high average shooter in six 25 target
scores during the season. Two back scores may be
phot up. State Senator Frank Leavitt and Joseph
Ghirardelli made the highest scores. The scores were:

First event, 25 targets— Leavitt 18, Ghirardelli 18,
J. Matthews 12, Carman 13, Duboise 14, Landon 17.

Second event, 10 targets — Carman 8, Jeffrey 0, J.
Ghirardelli 8, Landon S, Leavitt 5, Ghirardelli Jr. 6.

Third event, 10 targets— Matthews 0, White 4,
Brown 6, Carmen 4, Jeffrey 5, J. Orr 7.

Fourth event, 15 targets, 5 sets, doubles, 5 singles —
Duboise 9, Carman 8, White 4. Landon 12, J. Orr 8, J.
Matthews 9.

Those Awful Sea Lions Again.

Cannery men and fishing interests of the North
Pacific coast are considering methods for the ex-
termination of the sea lions which infest the salmon
and halibut fisheries of the Pacific ocean and annually
destroy millions of commercial fish.

Through a stndy of the habits of the sea lion the
rather peculiar fact has been established that they live
almost exclusively off the livers of the fish they cap-
ture, leaving the rest of the carcass for other denizens
of the deep. Manager Sterling of the New England
Halibut Company of Tacoma who has given the matter
attention, says there are approximately 4000 sea lions
on the halibut banks of Northern British Columbia
alone, and he estimates that this band of deep sea
marauders destroy 3,000,000 fine merchantable halibut
every year, each of which would bring $10 in the Eng-
lish market. Though the lions contain a great deal of
oil, some of them weighing 2000 pounds, and have
thick, waterproof marketable hides, no one hunts
them as a profession. The big brutes are easily
slaughtered, showing no more fight than a cow, and a
man, by keeping himself out of sight and roaring on
the beach, can attract a lion within ten yards of him.
At night the monsters make a roaring noise at their
rookeries that is appalling. Mr. Sterling believes the
sea lion is the natural enemy of the halibut, and will
in time exterminate them, unless they are exterminated
by the Government placing a bounty on their heads.

The above press dispatch is a sample of the specious
arguments used time and again to divert public atten-
tion from the real cause of the gradually decreasing
fish supply, salmon as well as other fish — and that is
the innumerable canneries and the extraordinary
demand which they have for fish during the canning
season. It will be remembered that about one year
ago there was proposed a raid upon the sea lions in
and around San Francisco bay. The fish packers gave
the seals and sea lions a hard name as fish destroyers
and desired to fit out a vessel with an armed crew who
were to be employed in the slaughter of sea lions at
the various rookeries on the California coast. Luckily
most of the resorts for these animals were under Gov-
ernment control and permission to carry on the work
of extermination was refused, the packing people how-
ever gained their point to a certain extent, by divert-
ing public attention from their own wholesale methods
of fish extermination to an alleged poacher and des-
troyer. At one time last year fresh salmon was
quoted at 20 and 25 cents a pound in the local fish mar-
kets. The reason for tbis almost prohibitive price to
the people who buy fish for food, was, that as fast as
the salmon were caught, anywhere from theCarquinez
straits to the upper waters of the Sacramento and San
Joaquin, they were shipped off in carloads to Chicago.

Scientific investigation has shown conclusively that
the seals and seal lions have been undeservedly given a
hard reputation. It is the truth that they undoubt-
edly do catch fish and possibly eat all or some portions
of fish caught. The writer of this has often, whilst
surf fishing, seen the animals with fish, but that they
do the enormous amount of damage alleged, is a ques-
tion that has been conclusively refuted. The fish find
their graves in the millions of tins provided for them
by the fish canneries.

The Oryx.

Of all the varieties of antelope which roam over the
sandy plains of Africa, the oryx is one of the finest and
most sought after by sportsmen. He stands between
eleven and twelve hands at the withers, with massive
neck and shoulders, beautiful clean legs and well
shaped delicately turned hoofs. His horns are long
and straight, measuring between 30 and 40 inches on a
good hull, while those of the female, though thinner

are often of a still greater length. A thoroughbred
all over, no wonder that he is hunted as he is, his flesh
being the most delicious meat of any of the African
antelopes, while his skin, especially that off the chest,
is used by the natives to cover their shields and to
make their shoes.

The oryx are fond of open ground, preferring low
scrub to thick bush, and roam in vast herds over the
open plains. Observe them through field glasses and
you will see the majority grazing at their ease, some
chasing each other, othei s butting each other in play,
and often m earnest, while on each side of the herd'a
few watchfu females, with heads erect and forefeet on
some ant hill observe the surrounding country

On them rests the safety of the herd, a responsibility
which they seem to realize fully, for it is almost im-
possible, without a fair amount of cover, to get within
a quarter of a mile of these wily animals. On the
slightest alarm, the female sentries stamp their feet,
the whole herd look up, every eye directed at once on
the approaching danger, a moment's consideration and
they are off. Led by some wary old male, they canter
away at a long swinging pace, until they think that
they are out of danger. A few miles is nothing to
them, and they always like to be on the safe side in
leaving their enemy far behind.

Nature has provided them with a skin almost ex-
actly the color of the bush in which they live It is of
a yellowish fawn color relieved on the face and legs
by patches of black. Often when looking at them in
the heat of the day, when there is a sort of haze over
the surface of the plain, these latter black spots and the
long slanting black horns with an occasional glimpse
of a white belly is all that one can distinguish from
the surrounding bush.

From the above short description, it will be under-
stood why the oryx is such a difficult animal to
approach, a d what a lot of hard work its pursuit
entails.

Standing as they do in open country, one has to
commence the stalk about a mile from the herd, then
utilizing every scrap of bush or tuft of long grass, with
car ) it is often possible to approach unobserved to
v, ithin a quarter of a mile. By this time the suspicions
of the vigilant sentries are probably aroused. Every
eye is turned towards one, and the only thing to do
is to he quiet for sufficient time to allay their sus-
picions. Perhaps there is an ant-pillar or a clump of
bush between you and the herd, which by careful
crawling and a judicious sprint you may possibly

PG&CX1.

Now within three hundred yards of the oryx, there
s little hope of approaching nearer. From this point
it shot is generally taken. According to the native
hunters, sportsmen manage to get in three or four
shots before the herd is out of range, and some men
have been known to empty their magazines into the
retreating beasts, but I will not enlarge on such
unsportsman-like performances.

Three hundred yards is a long shot at a vital spot,
so the animal more often than not goesaway wounded.
One has heard the answering thud of the bullet, yet
the herd canter off without a single one showing signs
of having been hit. One follows them up for a few
miles, when the tracks of one is separated from the
rest. The animal has evidently headed toward that
clump of thorn trees a quarter of a mile on the right,
and will be very likely lying down behind it. The
tracks lead there straight enough, but on arrival at
the bush, the wounded oryx can be seen cantering
easily off over the open plain. There is a certain
amount of blood on the trail and a few splashes on the
bushes through which he passes, here and there some
half-digested grass has been vomited up, all tending to
shew that the poor brute was hit too far back instead
of just behind the shoulder. Anxious to put the ani-
mal out of pain, one plods along the trail in the hopes
that the wounded oryx will have lain down and not be
able to rise again. Generally, if there is plenty of
cover, one can overtake and finish the animal off after
a few miles chase, but sometimes after ten or twelve
miles night put an end to the pursuit, and one has to
leave the wounded creature to the mercy of lions and
hyenas during the ensuing darkness.

Snipe Shooting in China and Burmah.

China, a country consisting to a great extent of well
irrigated rice fields, ought to be an ideal country for
snipe. For some reason, however, except at the regu-
lar period of migration, they seem to avoid remaining
for long in this thickly populated country, and prefer
to continue their journey southward to the fields and
swamps of Burmah and Siam. No doubt the density
of the population is sufficient to account for the com-
parative scarcity of game of all sorts in China. At all
times of the year, from early dawn till sunset, the
fields are swarming with the indefatigable Chinese
cultivators hoeing, ploughing, irrigating. Even when
the crops are growing they seem to find plenty of
occupation in weeding, and in collecting roots and
snails or other edible delicacies.

It is not altogether to be wondered at then that the
snipe, who are naturally of a retiring disposition and
revel in solitude, avoid the feeding grounds of China
and hasten on to the quieter regions of the South.

There is little or no waste land in China, every inch
is cultivated if possible. Only occasionally where the
land is so low that floods and inundations make the
risk of planting it too great, it is allowed to raise its
own natural crop of course grass and rushes. It is
only in such places, and the sedgy margins of the
numerous lakes that snipe and wild fowl have any
chance of being left undisturbed.

Twice a year, however, about the middle of May and
again in September, snipe make up for their absence by
appearing in large numbers on their journey between
their feeding grounds in the South and their breeding
places in the North. At these times they may be
found anywhere and everywhere, in fact they seem t.n
prefer the high dry bean crops to the low,
marshlands. On their journey northwards th-

fat and lazy and often lie very close, but, curiously
enough, when they rise one misses the familial- warn-
ing chirp, and, iu consequence, they have often flown
silently awav before being observed when walking
through a bean field with the plants two feet high and
in f ulTflower. Spring snipe shooting is comparatively
easy work. The birds get up more like small owls
than snipe, much after the fashion of the "painters"
of India and often only flop away a short distance if
not fired at.

Spring snipe shooting in the neighborhood of bhang
hai is certainly quite a new experience, writes a corre-
spondent of The Asian. One must put away all pre-
conceived ideas of snipe and of likely places in which
to find them. One goes out in a comfortable house-
boat, which sails or is towed up the numerous canals
and creeks, past hundreds of other junks and sam-
pans. On either side of the creek as far as the eye
can see, are undulating plains of corn and beans, in-
tercepted by well to do looking farms and villages
surrounded by trees and bamboo clumps and with now
and then a few acres of mulberry closely cropped to a
height of abont eight feet. Such is the usual landscape
in this part of China. One tires of the endless crops,
of the neatly cultivated gardens, of the square-sailed
junks and of the independent looking blue bloused
natives. One longs instead, for a wild looking deserted
marsh teeming with bird life, for the open expanse of
water in which can be seen ducks and divers at rest,
for the high beds of rushes which may hold great
possibilities of sport. One longs even for the useless
but picturesque denizens of the marsh, the pond
herons, paddy birds and gulls. There is no room for
them in China where dwell some 400 millions of human
beings.

But, to return to the house-boat, which is now moored
alongside the bank with a view to trying a fine looking
crop of beans. We get out and walk up to the bean
field, as if we were walking up partridges in the tur-
nips a*; home and return to the boat with two couple
of great fat snipe, which rose silently in front of us and
went away like woodcock in the open. Thus on to an-
other field of beans or rape, the latter looking like a
sea of yellow and forming a pleasing contrast to the
dark green foliage of the beans and the lighter green
of the corn. Shooting from a house-boat is the height
of luxury. One carries everything one wants wherever
one goes, or rather follows at a very convenient dis-
tance. No need for a long walk or ride back in the
evening, before a dry change of clothes and a meal can
be obtained; he has only to step onboard to rest, or
lunch or escape a shower of rain. There is never any
necessity to go more than half a mile from the beat.
Is it possible that some sportsmen miss the hardship
and prefer the rougher and more energetic ways of
shooting? Perhaps it is Let me now try and describe
how we made a short expedition to one of the above
mentioned low-lying waste lands with the hopes of
finding some resident winter snipe as well as duck and
teal.

Leaving Shanghai towaras the end of March, 1900,
in a comfortable house-boat, we were towed about 50
miles up the Somehow creek to a small town called So
Co Pan. Here the launch left us, and we proceeded
southwards along a smaller creek to the Si-tai lake.
The wind was against us, so our progress was neces-
sarily slow. Six coolies worked the large single oar in
the stern of the boat or "yulohed" her along at the
rate of about 2.1 miles an hour. As weapproached the
region of the great lake the whole country became a
network of creeks, the banks of which had been built
up with the d red gin us from the bottom to the height
of about six feet. The whole of this land, now so well
and carefully cultivated, bad been reclainied from the
water. Tho fields had been raised and the creeks
■ feepjned in the course of ages of toil and labor. We
rould see the process still going on. There were
numerous, open sampans, on which stood three men
dredging up the mud with what looked like large
Unding nets. As soon as a boat was full of the liquid
mud, up went the sail and away they went to their
own particular field, where the mud was thrown out
on the bank and allowed to dry before being used as
top dressing. It struck us that the fact of there being
river mud all over the fields may have been a reason
why the migrating snipe so much prefer the highlying
crops of beans and rape. At intervals along the creek
were prosperous looking farm houses close to which
were cherry trees with the lovely pink blossom in full
bloom. In a high tree, overhanging each was the
usual magpie's nest, while at the water's edge were as
a rule old women washing clothes and nude children
playing about. It was only in the villages which we
passed that the inhabitants evinced any interest in us.
Here crowds of the younger members of the village
population used to run along the side of our creek,
which was also the main street, shout and laugh at us.
Sometimes when going underneath bridges they would
throw things down or spit at us. How little they
realized here that Peking was in the hands of the bar-
barians and that their Emperor had fled. It would
have been nc use to have told them as they would not
believe it.

About 10 a. M. on a lovely, cool spring morning we
moored the house-boat near what looked like miles
and miles of marshy flats extending away to the lake.
At last thought we, a really wild part of China, but on
closer scrutiny with the glasses we could detect numer-
ous men and children scattered about collecting water
snails and digging for 6sh in the mud holes. "Every-
where, too, could be seen the tall ugly sails of the
square-nosed junks as they hurried about the creeks.
We spent a couple of days tramping over these flats,'
with a sampan in attendance to ferry us across the
creeks. It looked perfect snipe ground, just wet and
marshy enough, the grass not too high. In a few
patches we found birds fairly plentiful, but altogether
sport was very disappointing. The snipe were poor
and thin, and when once roused and missed flew a
great distance. It was easy, however, to mark them
down and then to follow them up in the sampan.
Thus out-mancevering nearly every bird we saw we
could only account for some ten couple aday and afew
gargany teal. Out in the open waters of the lake were
thousands of duck and tealj but only at night would

they venture in, to feed in the creeks. WTith the ex-
ception of a few dabchicks, red breasted mergansers,
white-ringed crows, magpies, a siDgle hen harrier and
a white-headed eagle there were no birds to be seen.
In a word the place had the appearance of having been
shot out, and yet it is seldom that a shot is ever fired
there. So much for the winter snipe, let us leave
them and return to their fatter and more bulky com-
rades, the migrating birds of spring. Let us transfer
the scene from the beanfields of Central China to the
ricefields in the vicinity of Peking.

We arrived at, perhaps, the most lovely spot in
China, the Summer palace of Peking, about the mid-
dle of May and forthwith proceeded to shoot snipe.
The Palace is situated some ten miles north of the
city, well away from the smells and dust of that not
too savory of places; and consists of a beautiful series
of buildings on the side of a rocky hill with a lovely
lake at its feet. The buildings are roofed with tiles of
Imperial yellow and green, every one of which is in it-
self a work of art, and thelake is unbanked with white
marble. The whole is enclosed by a high wall through
which sluices are cut to enable the cultivators of the
surrounding district to draw on the waters of the lake
for irrigation purposes. Outside the wall all is paddy
field and at this particular time the young rice shoots
were just being transplanted. For the past fortnight
snipe had been plentiful and good bagsol ten to twenty
couple in an evening had been made by the officers
quartered near the Palace. One had not far to go to
obtain sport, for snipe were to be found even alongside
the hou<=e lines close to the barracks occupied by the
men. The shooting was very pleasant, one walked
along the ridges separating the fields from which the
birds rose. The only difficulty was to distinguish snipe
from the multitude of sandpipers, redshanks, dunlins,
etc., with which the whole place swarmed. Added to
this there was always a good chance of peppering one
of the Chinamen working up to his knees in the mud
and water.

For one short week the sport lasted, the snipe getting
scarcer and more fat and lazy ever day. By June 1st
not a bird was to be seen, even the sandpipers had left
for their breeding haunts in the north. A few showers
of rain and what had been an ugly expanse of mud
became a sea of that beautiful light green peculiar to
rice, while even the ridges were covered with sprout-
ing beans. Situated near the lake are many large
ponds full of high rushes and lotus plants, which in
winter afford cover to thousands of duck, but which
now have no other feathery inmates than a few king-
fishers and dabchicks, and over which during the
month of June might be seen g} rating in the air doz-
ens of those rare and graceful birds ''sooty terns."

How subdued the natives of these parts look in com-
parison with the more truculent inhabitants of the
Yangtse Valley. Here they have learnt a lesson which
they are not likely to forget. They have realized that
at the game of war at any rate the "barbarians" are
their superiors. They . ave seen Peking evacuated by
their Emperor and Court, and they see the famous
Summer Palace occupied by Sikhs, Italians and Brit-
ish gunners. They treat one with respect as one goes
along and get out of one's road with alacrity. The
wamen, too, poor things, flee at our approach, no
doubt mistaking us for French or Germans.

One realizes, however, that as soon as the troops are
withdrawn, everything will soon return to its normal
state. Perhaps the snipe will have a quieter time in
the future than they have had during the last year.
It is doubtful whether anyone would dare to fire at
them within hearing of the dreaded Empress Dowager
in the Summer Palace.

Happier was the lot of another sportsman who loved
snipe shooting and who luckily was stationed in a dis-
trict where he was able to indulge his penchant for
sport afield with the gun. Somn reminiscences in this
respect, whereof the scene was laid in Burma, "on
the road to Mandalay" possibly, are given in a happy
vein below.

My lot is at present cast in a dry and thirsty land
where few or no snipe are, so that the rapid approach
of the cold weather, whilst it brings back to memory
many a good day's sport obtained amongst the long
hills in past years, yet makes one wish to change one's
present surroundings for a more suitable locality, and
somewhat envious of thoso whose good fortune it is to
dwell within reach of jhil and paddy field.

My first experience of snipe shooting in the East was
in the land of the Pagoda, the country par excellence
for this fascinating sport. At a small station in Upper
Burma where I spent nearly three years (I wish I could
get back there again!) we used to have most capital
sport, from the time the snipe arrived until the end of
the cold season. It was often possible to mate a very
fair bag almost within the limits of the station, but
the great fun used to be to make up a party of three
or four convivial souls, and proceed for a week end to
a place about seven or eight miles out. Here, by the
roadside, was a dak bungalow, the half way house
between our station, which was the headquarters of
the district, and an important police outpost. The
bungalow being fully mrnished. and well kept up by
government for the use of the district officers, made a
perfect shooting-box, and all one had to do, when on a
few days' recreation bent, was to send out guns, bed-
ding and servants some hours ahead, and to ride out
after the day's work was done, arriving in time to get
a little sport close by before sunset. Next day, being
up betimes, we used generally to visit the numerous
tanks, which throughout the cold weather were always
frequented by great numbers of duck and teal, and,
having bagged as many of these as we would, or could,
returned to the bungalow for breakfast, after which
we spent the rest of the day in snipe shooting, which
of course was the main attraction.

I have somewhere seen it stated that painted snipe
are never found in any considerable number in one
place, yet, not far from this bungalow there was a
long stretch of marshy ground, very rough and broken,
with deep pools of water, long grass and rushes in
plenty. In this place, every year, painted snipe were
more than plentiful. They are poor birds to shoot,
though very beautiful to look at, and, of course, for
culinary purposes are not to be compared to the snipe

proper, so we very seldom visited this piece of ground,
or shot. them. On one occasion, however, a friend of
mine, who had only just come out to the country, shot
fourteen couple of painted snipe in an afternoon at
this place, and might have trebled his bag had he
wished to doso. In India, certainly, I have but seldom
seen more than three or four "painters" in one piece
of ground, and generally have found them decidedly
scarce, so why they should have been so plentiful in
this. particular marsh has always been somewhat of a
puzzle to me.

I remember one Christmas wo had some real good
sport hilst staying at tnis place. Two great friends
of mine joined me at the bungalow on Christmas eve,
and we had just time after they arrived to shoot some
duck, as they flighted on to a tank near the house.
We concealed ourselves behind some bushes near the
water, and had only been waiting a few minutes when
the duck began to come in. First of all a few birds
singly, and in twos and threes, came up, and some were
bagged; then a few minutes passed without any fresh
arrivals, and it began to grow dusk, after which the
fun was fast and furious, as, apparently quite indiffer-
ent to the report of the guns, the duck came swishing
overhead in flights of fifteen and twenty at a time, and
sometimes many more. As soon as it became too dark
to shoot, which was very shortly, we picked up all the
birds we could find, some ten or twelve couple and
returLed to dinner. Next morning was cold and raw,
and we let the sun get -well up in the heavens before
we thought of beginning our Christmas-day sport.
However, the important business of breakfast being
got over, we started off by about ten o'clock and went
to a chain of tanks a couple of miles off to shoot some
duck, which, like the Irishman's trout, "simply
swarmed." We kept well under cover of a high
embankment which bounded the lower end of the first
tank we came to, and sent some Burmans, who accom
panied us, to go round to the far side of the water and
put up the duck. They rose with a "mighty whirring"
of wings and came over us, but very high up, so that
S. and I, with our twelve bores, could do them no
harm. The wily M., however, who was but a very
poor snipe shot, had determined to wipe our eyes in
the duck shooting line, and had borrowed a double
eight-bore from somewhere, as S. and I fired he dis-
charged both barrels of this ponderous piece of ord-
nance well into the brown of the duck, and brought
down about half a dozen at one swoop.

The same sort of performance was repeated at the
next tank, to the huge delight of M. and our disgust,
whereupon we left him to bombard the duck, whilst
we ourselves went in search of the long bills. There
was no need to ^o far, for just below the bund of the
first tank was a long stretch of swampy, uncultivated
land, in which the snipe lay very thick. Up and down
we went for the best part of an hour and a half, and
enjoyed as good shooting as one could well wish for.
The birds were not too wild, but rose just as one likes
thera to and in twos and threes, instead of in great
wisps, as snipe so often do when plentiful. By the
time we finished this bit of ground we had over thirty
couple of snipe between us, and among my bag was a
jack snipe, which was the only individual of that
species I saw, or heard of, in three seasons shooting in
this district.

Our next move was to some sugarcane cultivation,
where we found ptenty of snipe, especially where the
ground was thinly planted, and the canes short. I
have often noticed how very fond of sugarcane fields
snipe are, and have frequently found the birds very
thick among the canes, when hardly any could be
flushed among the surrounding jhils and paddy fields.

While shooting among this sugarcane I very nearly
wounded an old Burmese lady who was working in the
field, the shot must have gone very close, for the old
beldame rose up in a great hurry with a most appall-
ing screech, she was easily pacified however, and quite
understood it was an accident that the shot went near
her.

I remember a few seasons ago in India that a friend
of mine, while out snipe shooting with me, peppered
an old man, who was in the way somehow.

We did not see him until we heard a dismal howl,
and found him rubbing his legs which had been struck
by only very few of the pellets, so he was more fright-
ened than hurt. In this case the judicious application
of a rupee smoothed matters down, and a week after-
wards on shooting over the same ground, we found
our old friend grinning at the boundary of his field,
with most of his relations placed at intervals round
the ancestral property, I suppose waiting to be shot
and fed!

However, it is not pleasant to pepper the cultivators
while shooting over their ground, and with care one
should always be able to avoid doing so.

Later on in the morning S. and I. came across M.,
who having made havoc among the duck, was, like
ourselves, en route to a phoongyi, Kyoung, whither
we had sent out our tiffin.

While walkingalong a paddy bund I met a Burman,
looking very pleased, and carrying an enormous rat of
some sort; this rodent, he informed me, was going to
make him a meal. What will the Burmans not eat?
I have known them devour the carcases of ponies,
which had died of disease, and we have seen a keen
competition for the half putrid remains of a jungle
cat, found lying in a thicket when beating for part-
ridges, so I fancy there is not much that will turn the
stomach of these curious people!

Having finished lunch, and had a smoke, and a chat
with the phoongyis, we turned homewards, and finally
arrived at the bungalow about five in the afternoon,
laden with as many snipe and duck as we knew how
to dispose of.

That night we three had a right merry Christmas
dinner, and the next day after a few hours among the
snipe we rode back to headquarters. Since leaving
Burma I have had many a good day's snipe shooting,
but have never found them in such numbers anywhere
I have been in India, as I used to in the land of the
Pagoda.

Swine Notes.

So far aa is possible the male should
always be thoroughbred and it is not best
to use a cross-bred male under any con-
ditions.

A solution of a gill of carbolic acid in a
bucket of water sprinkled over the floor
of the pig pen will be found a good dis-
infectant.

Be sure that the brood sow is straight
and heavy in limb, short in face and nose,
heavy in jowl with good heart and flank
measurements.

Sows should be in good, growing thrifty
condition when bred. They should not
be fat nor kept fat after breeding, but
growing nicely. Fat sows give weak pigs.

Hogs should always have a sufficient
supply of salt, ashes and charcoal where
they can help themselves. Keep it in a
box under shelter and never let the sup-
ply entirely run out. There is no danger
of their eating too much, for their own
craving will measure that.

The objection to allowing feed to stand
before stock all the time is that they will
select that which they like best and un-
less the food is supplied very liberally
when the better part is eaten what is left
becomes unpalatable and is rejected even
before the animal's appetite is fully sat-
isfied, for palatableness is very much a
measure of the food likely to be consumed.

When pigs are youu<7. keep the sow in a
pen six by eight feet for twenty-f'Mir
hours. For the first week let the sow run
in the pasture, but keep the piga in the
pen. She will go tack to them at noon.
After suckling she may be allowed to go
out in the pasture again in the afternoon.
When ten days to two weeks old they can
run in the pasture along with the sow.
Never let young pigs run in the wet grass.

Profits of a Dairy Farm.

At the annual convention of the East-
ern Ontario Dairymen's Association, held
January 9th, at Whitby, Canada, Mr.
Joseph Gould, of Uxbridge, gave some
telling figures from the record of his own
herd last year. No. 1 cow gave 7253
pounds of milk; No. 2, 7271; No 3,5618;
No. 4, 9015 pounds and No 5, the banner
animal, 9359 pounds of milk in the year.
These yields were difficult of credence to
the meeting, in view of the fact that the
average yield in the province is 3000
pounds of milk per cow, but Mr. Gould
substantiated them with documentary
proofs. He had attained these results by
carefully watching the work of each indi-
vidual animal, and his minimum was 50 J.)
pounds of milk per annum, for a yield of
less meant no profit. Feeding with bran
was essential every day in the year, and
Uso ensilage. He did not pay any cash
for his bran, as he had traded Ids growth
of oats for what his cows consumed, and
his crop of corn from seventeen acres gave
him 235 tons for the silo, which was all
that he required. The result of all thie

was that on a farm of 110 acres he corned
liltv-two head of cattie, bought his stock
hngs and fed tliein, and made last season
over and above all expenses $1500 clear
profit.

Work of Agricultural Colleges.

Not only in the field ot education and
instruction have the laud-grant colleges
rendered service of incalculable value, but
the experiment stations have worEed
directly lor the farmer in helping to solve
problems oi vital and \ radical interest.
The experiment stations have set on foot
investigations, revealed the truth, and
pointed out the way to rational methods
and better agriculture. This work, like
the college work, was inaugurated at the
expense of the national government, and
thus far in the most of states the funds
have been derived chiefly from that
source. It is now incumbent upon the
states to provide .funds for work that lies
so close to the material welfare and pros-
perity of the people and to strengthen the
facilities for investigation and instruction
in agriculture in accord with the present
demands.

There is no longer any uncertainty
about the attitude of the people toward
these institutions or their appreciation of
their work. Not only are the farm boys
going to college for training for practical
agriculture, but about 400 farmerB have
been at the Iowa Agricultural College re-
cently to attend the special course in stock
and grain judging, and 100 more practical
and experienced men were there at the
same time for instruction in advanced
dairy work. The agricultural colleges
appeal to the practical man because it
helps him in his work, because it ''pays
dividends in gold." — Oregon Agriculturist.

have paid well. Overfeeding is bad, and
is all the worse when there is not plenty
of exercise. Hens neither lay nor sit well
when they are overfed. Another cause of
loss is keeping the birds on damp, cold
ground Dampness is liable to, and does,
cause many uf the complaints from which
the birds suffer. Gravelly ground answers
best, but other ground with more moisture
in it may be made healthy by proper
draining — Pacific Harvester.

Exporting Fine Dairy Cattle.

The Pierce Land and Stock Company of
Stockton has just shipped from its River-
side ranch on Rough and Ready island
twenty-two head of fine cattle by the
steamer Guatemala to Central America,
where they are to be used for dairy pur-
poses. There were three very fine heifers
among these animals, namely : Star
Flower Princess, No. 49,646; Lady Olean-
der, No. 4S,629, and Frankette Blanco, No.
50.96S. There was also a fine young bull
sired by Sylvanus de Kol, dam Legal
Tender. This company is having a much
larger demand for its stock than it cares
to supply. It proposes to bring here the
coming spring some of the finest specimens
that can be found in the best of Eastern
herds.

Locations for Poultry.

Do not have too many fowls. Some en-
terprising amateur gets an acre of ground,
puts on it a large number of fowls, and
when the chickens come on in summer all
gpes well for a time; but about the sec-
ond or third year a change comes, disease
breaks out and many die, so the venture
fails; yet a tenth part of the birds might

The Eastern merino, which has been
bred with a view to crossing out the
wrinkles, has evidently fallen down. At
the recent annual meeting of the Michigan
merino sheep breeders' association, Mr.
Wood, the leading merino breeder of that
State, said: "I believe we have made a
mistakein breeding the American merinos
as we have in the past. ~\Ye have no mut-
ton sheep in them. We want a big, plain
sheep. We want the sheep that will sell.
I have had no home trade for American
merinos since 1893 and but little foreign
trade."

freak is a mule's colt. Mr. Grumrnett
had a large number of reputable people
see the mule for several days past, and all

trotters and three for pacers do not close until August
1st. It is the early closing ones that we desire to call
the attention of C: lifornia horsemen to at the present
time. The trotting purses are for the 2:10, 2:12, 2:H,
2:18 and 2:28 classes, and the purses for pacers provide
for the 2:08, 2:10, 2:12, 2:14 and 2:2+ classes. The first
payment is only $5 in any of these classes and is to be
made with entry. Hones are to be named July 1st.
It is a great program. Don't fail to enter at Glens
Falls, as it is always one of the big meetings of the
circuit.

yOU HAVE A WEEK to think over the proposi-
' tion whether or not you will name your mares
bred this year in the Terre Haute Matron Stakes for
foals of this year, but it should not take you five
minutes after reading the advertisement in this issue
to decide that an entry in this stake is a good invest-
ment. It only costs $5 to nominate the mare April
14th, one week from next Monday, and then $10 De-
cember 1st, when color and sex of foal must be given.
There is not another cent to pay until the year of the
race. You can sleep soundly every night for two or
three years knowing that your colt will not be declared
out on account of failure to keep up payments. If
you race him as a two year old in 1904 there is a small
payment or two due then, but if you do not want to
start him until he is three, there is nothing more to
pay until June 1, 1895. Turn to our advertising,
columns and read the conditions of the stake. They
are about as attractive as could possibly be made.

ABOUT THE CHEEKIEST THING that has.- been
done lately is the entry by an Austrian of the
horse John A. McKerron in the European Champion-
ship Stake, the entry list for which appears on another
page of this journal. Advices from Mr. Devereux,
owner cf this great horse, are to the effect that no one
had authority to make the entry and that he is sur-
prised that anyone should be audacious enough to
commit such an act. The man who made the entry is
Leopold Hauser, a prominent horseman of Vienna it
is said. He is probably one of those personages that
imagines he can enter a horse in a race and purchase
him afterwards. Such things have been done hereto-
fore, even in this country.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN RACES is the startling
heading over the advertisement of the Inter-
Mountain Fair, to be held at Boise, Idaho, October
20th to 25th this year. There are four early closing
stakes for harness horses, entries to which close April
15th. These are the Merchants' Stake, $1000, for 2:27
class trotters, the Inter-Mountain Stake, $1000, for
2:18 class pacers, and two stakes of $500 each for three
year old pacers and trotters. The Thunder Mountain
running stake is $1000 for three year olds and upward,
one mile and a quarter, and the Idan-ha runni- g stake
is $500 for two year olds at a half mile. Boise, Idaho,
is on the North Pacific fair circuit and is the last of
the twelve meetings which comprise that circuit. At
nearly every meeting on this circuit two stakes of
$1000 each are to be given, one for trotters and one for
pacers. Racing up north will have a boom this year
and big fields and heavy betting are expected to pre-
vail.

A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS will be
hung up by the Montana Jockey Club for its 62
days of racing which will begin at Butte June 21st,
this year. There are twelve early closing stakes
ranging from B800 to $1500 advertised to close April
15th, one week from Tuesday next. When the racing
season closes here at the end of this month the horses
that are not taken East will find plenty of racing pro-
vided for them at Butte, and as there will be no purse
less than $250 and the entrance is free, horse owners
will have the opportunity to earn quite a sum before
they return to California for the State Fair races.
There will also be racing at Helena, Great Falls, Mis-
soula and other points in Montana, making that State
a regular summer resort for owners of thoroughbreds
this year. See our advertising pages for particulars
of the Butte's twelve stakes.

OVERLAND PARK at Denver is getting to be a
lively place. Assistant Secretary John B. Wil-
liams writes us that Colorado horsemen and others
rom over the State line are coming in and taking
quarters at the track. All are enthusiastic over the
prospects for a great meeting. The track is one of
the finest in the country since the new coating of soil
was put on and horsemen all enthuse over it. The
directors and officers are all working hard and intend
the horsemen shall carry away with them none but
pleasant recollections of Denver.

OREGON'S STATE FAIR this year will be the
greatest fair ever held in the webfoot country.
The race program is a very attractive one for horse-
men, the $2000 stake for 2:18 pacers being the leading
feature. Four of the early closing stakes will close one
week from next Tuesday. Look them over in our
advertising columns and make entries in time.

SIXTEEN PURSES OF $1000 EACH make up a
pretty attractive program of harness racing for
one association to crowd into a four days' meeting, but
this is the splendid menu provided by the Glens Falls
association of which W. F. Bentley is the energetic
secretary. The meeting comes in on the Grand Cir-
cuit and opens September 15th. Ten of these $1000
purses are of the early closing variety and are equally
divided between trotters and pacers. Entries to these

THE NEW CALIFORNIA JOCKEY CLUB an-
nounces that all the stakes next season will have
added money except the Burns Handicap, which will
remain at $10,000 guaranteed value. It is contemplated
to shorten the next season about fifteen days and make
the racing of better class than ever.

Would Make Things Lively.

Columbus of the Western -Horseman throws the fol-

owing into the distance flag controversy:

''Why all this fuss about the distance flag':- Why
not add a rule to the effect that the last horse under
the wire in each heat shall be sent to the barn, thus
doing away with the distance stand? "

That is an original idea and no mistake. At first
glance it looks as if this might also be a solution of the
vexed question of laying up heats. But what a roar
would go up from the driver who after having won a
heat should, through a break made by his horse in
the second heat, finish last. And suppose that last
position was only four or five lengths behind the leader,
which might result, as there would be a furious drive
by every mother's son of them to avoid being last.
We suggest to Columbus that he write to Murray
Howe about it and induce the Memphis Association to
try it this year. That's about the only association
that is willing to take chances on anything really new
and novel.

Recent Palo Alto Winners.

Among the Palo Alto bread winners of the last season
that will be found in the new Year Book are Eleata (4)
2:08}, Rowellan (2) 2:15J, Version 2:14J, Adaria (4)
2:17], Marquesa 2:19}, Ellalee 2:19}, Stewart 2:27},
Anselita 2:29}. These were all Blue Ribbon purchases,
and by no means exhaust the list of prizes obtained at
recent Cleveland sales. Idolita (3) 2:12, Lucrative 2:13A
and Lunda 2:23} are three more that come to
mind. Many have shown fast, but have not as yet
been raced, as, for instance, Juntorio, To Arms, Ad-
linn, Adrexa and others. Juntorio promises to be one
of the sensations of the coming year. No wonder that
these annual auctions have become the most popular
in America. Buyers are sure of getting what they
want. Palo Alto opens the sale as usual this year with
a draft of about fifty head, including the entire crop of

two year olds.

Englishmen Like the American Trotter.

Mr. Geo. W. Ketcham, at the close of his exhibition
tour with Cresceus 2:02} this year, will take a vacation
and pleasure trip to Europe. A Gentleman's Driving
Club is now being organized close to London, England,
by owners of fast harness horses, in which several of
Mr. Ketcham's friends are interested. Horses recently
purchased by him in this country for English gentle-
men, including Roy M. 2:14} and Eddie L. 2:10}, will
be entered in the contests for the prizes offered.

The taking up of the sport of racing harness horses
in Europe by non-professionals will open a new chan-
nel for export. Heretofore European buyers have in.
variably shied clear of geldings, no matter how fast,
. buying only well bred stallions and mares. The hand-
some, stylish and fast gelding will now be as much
desired.

$1000 Purses at Sheepshead Bay.

Following the announcement that August Belmont
has been instrumental in having the value of purses
run for at the present Bennings meeting increased* to
$400 each, comes the information that the Coney Island
Jockey Club has practically decided to increase the
purses of all overnight races to $1000 each and that
the Brooklyn Jockey Club will follow suit. This is a
convincing argument that racing will enjoy a more
prosperous season this year than ever before and turf-
men are correspondingly happy over the outlook.

Broodmare, Ballet, Dead.

Ballet, the greatest broodmare in America, is dead at
the home of her owner, George H. Clay, proprietor of
Balgowan Stud, near Lexington. She was chloro-
formed recently by the veterinarian, Robert Bryan,
who attended Hanover in his last hourj,. Ballet was
31 years old, one year older than Pocahontas, the
greatest of all broodmares at the time of her death.
She is thedam of Modesty, Blue Grass Belle, Elizabeth
M., Peg Wofflogton, Busted, etc. Her produce won
over $100,000 on the turf in eighty-five races.

There were over one thousand entries received for
the Kentucky Futurity, which closed last month.

Grandly Bred Filly.

Lady Heel, dam of the famous $60,000 Hamburg,
foaled on March 31st, at James R. Keene's Castleton
Stud, near Lexington, a black filly by St. Simon, the
great English sire. Keene paid *ll.U0i> for tho mare.
The filly is the first get of St. Simon to be foaled in
the United States. A full brother of the filly which
came from England at the side of the mare, was
recently sold to August Belmont for $25. 0110. the high-
est price ever paid for a suckling.

Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and
hamlet in the State.

JOTTINGS.

BILL OF EXPENSE was the very appropriate.
though not euphonious, name given his horse bj-
an eastern man who had met with bad luck in his
racing ventures, and the same Dame could be very
aptly applied to many a new sulky purchased al a big
price at the opening of the training or racing season.
I was talking with Kenney, the well known San Fran-
cisco machinist and bikeman, the other day and related
to him the woes of a trainer friend that had paid for
new tires in one month more than his new sulky had
originally cost him.

"That's nothing," said Kenney, "the wheels of his
sulky were probably badly out of line and naturally
the tires wore out from ground friction. I have seen
a pair of tires worn out so they were beyond repair
with only four miles usage, and I remember that
Walter Maben had a new bike one year that cost him
ten dollars a week (or new tires for two or three
months. The bike was a well made one, but the
wheels were badly out of line, and until this was cor-
rected the tires would wear out nearly as fast as they
could be put on. There are several different ways in
which wheels may be out of line, but the one that
causes the most trouble is when the fronts of the
wheels are closer together than the backs, or vice
versa. It is bad enough when the tops of the wheels
dish in or out, but the wear that way is nothing to
what it is when the wheels dish forward— that is, when
they point to the centre."

I wish you would write an article for the Breeder
and SPORTSMAN" on "The use and abuse of pneumatic
tire sulkeys, " I said to him.

"Oh, I'm no writer," he replied, "but I'll tell you a
few things and you put them down so the boys will
understand them."
And this is about the way he said it.
"Pneumatic tire wheels of the two-wheel rig should
be so set or lined that they are perfectly true when
shafts are strapped in and the driver up. This is most
important, as if in any other condition there is a
ground friction which wears out the tires and nec-
essarily retards speed, which in a long drawn out race
is very important. A tired horse wants to be relieved
from all unnecessary effort.

"In my experience of nine years as a bikeman I have
always noticed that the successful trainers are very
particular to have all the details of sulky repairing
attended to by men who understand this particular
line of work, while the indifferent trainers will employ
anyone to repair their sulkies and be satisfied if the
wheels turn round and the tires hold air.

"To be convinced of this, when you visit a race track
just go up the stretch a short distance and thus secure
a rear view of the sulkies while the horses are scoring.
Watch the wheels on the different bikes and you will
see them running in all sorts of shapes. A wheel that
does not run true adds considerable to the expense
account in a year's time in tire repairs and renewals.
A good pair of tires should last at least two years and
if the track conditions are favorable they should last
from three to five years.

"Some of the important points to be looked after in
'conditioning' a sulky or cart are as follows, and what
applies to one applies to both:

" The proper 'set forward1 of wheels to properly
balance sulky when in motion.

"The 'hock-action .clearance' construction of shafts
should be such as to nut interfere with the true line
of wheels when strapped to different sized horses.

"The bearings should be the best that can be pro-
duced from goo - material by first class mechanics.
"The ball bearings should be made of best tool steel
cups and cones of same material, and they should be
made on the 3 point contact principle for easy running
and long service. By all means case-Tiardened machine
steel cones and cups should not be used.

"If of the roller bearing type they should be of the
best construction and should not be tampered with by
every man that calls himself a bicycle repairer. The
bearings should be kept clean, well oiled and properly
adjusted to get good results. Now there are many
things I could tell about keeping a sulky in shape, but
the most important of all is to see that the wheels are
properly lined up and run perfectly true. I do not
:e to say that more than half the expense in-
curred annually for new tires are made necessary by
wheels being out of line."

have to step to win in the big line, he evidently thinks
he has a chance with the roan gelding by Dictatus.
Sandy bought this horse for a Pennsylvania man last
year after seeing P. W. Hodges work him a mile in
2:11, and but for the horse disease which prevailed all
over the country last year, and which attacked Fun.
ston before he left Pleasanton, the pacer would have
done all that was claimed for him. When Mr. Snow
was out here last winter he very much desired to pur-
chase the sensational horse, Sir Albert S. 2:08}, but
Mr. Layng had a very high figure on him which was
a little beyond Snow's limit. Another California flyer
that has lately entered Snow's string is Eula Mac 2:17}
by McKinney. that was taken eaBt last year and sold
at the Fasig-Tipton Cleveland sale. They say she has
grown a great deal, and looks strong and rugged now.
I saw her trot a half in 1:01 at Santa Rosa when she
was a three year old and thought then that age and
plenty of time for play would make a great mare of
her. She is said to be showing wonderful speed
already this year.

Last year there werea great many horsemen — owners
and trainers alike — who were suspended "to beat the
band," because they attempted to bite off more than
they could conveniently masticate. The large number
of big purses and stakes offered by the associations
over East are very tempting, but the average horse
owner generally finds that his bank account is insuffi-
cient to pay entrance fee in 'them all if his horse goes
wrong and is unable to start. The same condition
arises when the speed shown in the early part of the
season by his trotter or pacer fails to keep the promise
of its youth. I would suggest to those who expect to
campaign horses this year that they do not attempt to
make a clean sweep of every stake on the circuit to
which their horse is eligible. In the first place no
horse can start in July and race well every week until
October unless he meets a class of horses that cannot
push him to his limit. If an owner has a trotter or
pacer that so far outclasses everything he meets that
it is only a jog for him to beat tbem, he may be able
to make a clt,an sweep of all the first moneys in his
class, but otherwise things will be different. Entrance
bills pile up very fast wb'jn they are not paid, and
many a horse is suspended at the close of the year for
a larger sum than he can possiblv be sold for. The
moneyed men of the trotting turf can of course afford
to incur a heavy bill of entrance fees, but the man
whose capital consists of his horses should be very
careful about being too liberal with his entries. It is
much better to be satisfied with winuing a few of the
big purses than to take the chances of being suspended
all down the line should your horse go wrong

of this race Sir Albert S. stepped to his record of 2:08|
with Freddy C. third. Freddy C. was then taken
north. At Everett, Washington, he started twice in
one week, winning both races in straight heats, pacing
to his present record over the half mile track mice
during that meeting, and beating such fast ones as
Myrtha Whips 2:10} and Pathmark 2:15). At What-
com Myrtha SVhips turned the tables on him and beat
him in straight heats, the time being 2:15}, 2:12 and
2:13}. He started in one race across the line in British
Columbia on a rough half mile track at Hastings.
He won as he pleased in slow time, 2:24} being the best
heat. At the Oregon State Fair he won three straight
races in straight heats, the best one being his defeat
of Myrtha Whips 2:10}, Alta Norte 2:16} and Al Me
2:15}, when he paced that slow and heavy track in
2:14}, 2:14} and 2:17J.

Freddy C. is a pocket edition of his sire Direct 2:051,
is perfectly sound, and as one horseman remarked last
season, will probably remain so as he is not big enough
to hit the ground hard. He is as steady as a clock
and has all the qualities of a race horse. He will be
expected to pace around 2:0ti or 2:07 this year and if
no accident happens him will probably do it. ■

The Chicago Horseman advocates the shortening of
the racing season on the Grand Circuit, saying that
the extreme speed required of horses makes it impossi-
ble to get the majority of horses ready by the first of
July. This is very true. If the racing associations
on the Grand Circuit draw the season out too long
they will soon find that owners will refuse to enter all
down the line. There are enough horses in training
every year to furnish sufficient entries for two Grand
Circuits and it would be better for all concerned were
the season shortened as suggested and a couple of cir-
cuits arranged. •

A correspondent of this paper asked several weeks
weeks ago where the horse J. J. 2:12i by Live Oak
Hero is now located. At the time we did not know of
the horse's present habitat, but have since learned
that he is now iD service at Boutell Bros.' Stock Farm
at Bay City, Michigan, where he stands for a fee of S30
the season. J. J. is registered under the name of J. T.
and his number is 31,698. His dam is Ada by Dexter
Prince and his grandam by Abbotsford. He was bred
by the late L. M. Morse, of Lodi, Cal., and made his
record at Terre Haute, Indiana, in September, 1900.

Palmer Clark, the founder of the Horse Bt
one of the best informed horsemen in this country and
as he is in the sales buisness at Chicago, is directly in
touch with the markot. Here is a recent statement
made by Mr. Clark in his column in the Chicago Iulii-
Ocean: "I have been requested by a friend, who is
always willing to pay a good price when he finds what
he wants, to look for a four or five year old solid bay
mare, with no white marks, about 15.1 hands high, a
trotter with a record of about 2:16, that is sound, good
mannered, and has speed enough to win in her class.
My first impression was that it would not be a difficult
task, but after three weeks' persistent inquiry among
at least a hundred well posted horsemen, I am ready
to call for the help of my friends, and am tempted to
believe there is nothing of the kind in the country.
I was still more forcibly reminded of the scarcity of
good horses of all kinds during a trip with a friend
through the sale stables at the stock yards last week,
where were quartered in the neighborhood of 2500
horses for sale, and we were unable to find a well
matched pair of good roadsters or a 15-hand bay geld-
ing, city broken, for a lady to drive, that could show
2:40 speed." The condition of the San Francisco mar-
ket is very much the same, and horses that fill the bill
are as scarce as hen's teeth.

Benefit Days at Emeryville.

Three benefit days have been arranged by the Cali-
fornia Jockey Club to be given at the Oakland track
during the presf-nt month.

The annual Derby day, for the benefit of Fabiola
Hospital, has been set for Saturday, April 28th. Once
a year President Williams of the California Jockey
Club sets aside one day when the entire proceeds of
the track are devoted to the benefit of Fabiola Hospi-
tal. The management of the day devolves upon the
officials of the track, but no passes are permitted on
that occasion and the receipts are given to the ladies
who so successfully manage the largest hospital in
Oakland.

A benefit will be given on Saturday, April 19th, for
the family of the late R. B. Milroy, for so many years
secretary of the Jockey Club. On this occasion tickets
will be placed on sale at the usual rates, but contribu-
tors may pay whatever price they please, the balance
going to swell the fund for the family. President
Williams and D. M. Burns have purchased tickets to
the amount of $100 each.

Wednesday, April 30th, will be a benefit for the
town of Emeryville, and the proceeds will go toward a
fund for building a town hall for the city on the bay
shore.

It ueed not surprise anyone if the roan pacer, Fun_
ston, that Sandy Smith took east last year, paces into
the 2:10 list on his first start this year. Trainer W. L.
Snow of Hornellsville, New York, has Funston in his
string at the present time and is naming him in the
slow classes down through the Grand Circuit, and as
no trainer knows better than Snow just how fast they

Word comes from New York that Mr. M. E. Sturgis,
who started lots of talk among horsemen by paying
$20,000 for Dan Patch 2:04A recently, has now become
the owner of Freddy C. 2:14} by Direct, dam Rosie C.
by Duroc Prince. Freddy C. is undoubtedly the fast-
est piece of horseflesh of his size in the country at the
present time, and when the little black devil starts
against the 2:15 class pacers over East this year
the spectators will think one of those little black
cyclone clouds "no bigger than a man's hand" has
broken loose. The purchase was made at Seattle last
week through Mr. H. H. Lawrence, and the horse has
already been shipped to Myron McHenry at New York.
Freddy C. made his first start at Sacramento last year
in the 2:i7 class pace at the Breeders meeting. In the
first heat he was so close to Sir Albert S. in 2:11} with
his driver, S. K. Trefry, looking around at the third
horse, that the judges felt justified in putting up a
new driver, but Freddy C. did not make as good a
showing in the second heat and Mr. Trefry was per-
mitted to again mount the sulk v. In the third heat

To Buy Yearlings.

Syndicates are said to be forming at Nashville and
also at Lexington for the purpose of purchasing thor-
oughbred yearlings and later, selling them privately
at such figures as will produce a good percentage on
the investment. At the head of the proposed Nash-
ville syndicate is Madden Winston, a prominent insur-
ance man, and at Lexington is Counselor Bill Brien,
who launched the Kentucky Mutual Sweepstakes As-
sociation, incorporated last week. Aside from these
proposed organizations, several individuals have been
ad vertising for addresses of breeders with yearlings
for sale. It is figured that the demand for racing
material for 1903 will be greater than the supply, and
prices higher than ever. Also that some breeders are
not in a position to hold their yearlings until June and
September sales, and would sell tbem now for less per
head. The buying of yearlings is a lottery at all
times, but many good judges think there is a really
good chance to make money along these lines.

Will Be in Hot Company.

The California pacer Sir Albert S. 2:08] by Diablo
g*09J that was the undisputed champion of the Pacific
Coast last year, starting six times and winning- every
race in three straight heats, pacing the slowest in 2:13
and the fastest in 2:08jJ, will go East this year to meet
the pacers in the 2:09 class. While Sir Albert S. did
not meet any horses last- year outside of Freddie C.
2:141 that are to be .considered as Grand Circuit 2:10
class material, he beat 2:10 three times during the
season and did it so handily each time that there are
many here who are firm in the conviction that it he
is called upon this year to pace in 2:04 he will do it,
and his owner believes he can pace very close to two
minutes whenever he is right on edge. The first of
the races in which he is entered this year, the entries
of which have been announced, is the $3000 purse
offered for pacers of the 2:09 class by the Cleveland
Grand. Circuit meeting. These entries closed March
loth and there were twenty-three horses named in this
race. A perusal of the list will show that Sir Albert
S. will meet a very "warm" lot of pacers. The record
horses are as follows:

Sir Albert S. 2:082 by Diablo.

Lou Vaughn 2:09} by Reflector.

Captain Sphinx 2:08J by Sphinx.

Terrace Queen 2:09} by Valpean.

Dandy C. 2:093 by Andalusia.

Fred the Kid. 2:08} by Kassel.

Cambria Maid 2:0S£ by Hal Dillard.
, NewtoD Boy 2:10} by Venture.

Sophia 2:09^ by Anderson Wilkes.

Sphinx S. 2:08.! by Sphinx.

Amokin 2:11} by Ambassador.

Louisa G. 2:08.] by Alclayone.

Tonita F. 2:11} by Keeler.

Dan R. 2:08} by Tasco Jr.

Maggie Hubbard 2:11} by Dick Hubbard.

Salem 2:09} by Pretender.

Fred S. Wedgewood 2:08$ by Fred S. Wilkes.

Winfield StrattOD 2:13} by Saraway.

The green pacers that are named in the purse are a
high class lot, viz.:

Direct Hal by Direct— trial of 2:0t>j.

Beauseant by Bow Bells — trial of 2:07},

Velvet Rose by McKinney — trial of 2:11.

Dandy Chimes by Chimes — trial of 2:07.

Cousin Madge by Brown Hal — trial of 2:08.

Of the record horses there are none that showed
the form displayed by Sir Albert S. Each and every
one of them was beaten during the season in much
slower time than his record, and the majority lost
more races than they won.

Direct Hal, the son of Direct 2:05i, owned by the
Hamlins, to whom Ed Geers sold him for $10,000 more
than a year ago, is the best known of the green
horses named in this race. He has never started
in a race, but if all tbe stories told of him are true,
he should be one of the sensational pacers of the
year. Beauseant, son of Bow Bells, is another pacer
of which much has been written, but he failed to
make good last year, starting but once and being dis-
tanced in the first heat of his race. If all the horses
named in this 2:09 race should start at Cleveland, Sir
Albert S. would be compelled to meet five horses that
have faster race records than he, and four green ones
that have paced faster trials than he is credited with,
but if he shows the form he had last year he should
be able to be close to the front in every heat even
though the time be 2:05 or better.

Matinee at Bakersfield.

Editor Breeder and Sporstman:— The Bakers-
field Driving Club held a matinee March 16th which
was a great success. The rains had put the track iu
fine shape and good time was made.

The first race was a free for all with four starters.
The contest was between the trotter Richmond Chief
2:14J and the pacing mare Edna R. 2:11:,'. Mr.Conklin
drove his mare to victory in the Qrst heat easily iu
2:18, but in the secund heat, Mr. Toll, the driver of
Richmond Chief caught him napping and beat him
out in 2:19. The third heat was a contest all the way
and at a whipping finish. Edna R. managed to win
by a neck in 2:19. Mr. Breden's Si S. was third and
Mr. Spear's H. W. fourth.

The second race was not as closely contested as the
first but was an interesting contest. It was won by
Mr. G. Bevin's Lompoc in straight heats, with Mr.
Fogarty's Robin second, Mr. Conklin's Harry Gates
third and Mr. Fox's John, fourth. The time was
2:3-3, 2:35.

Edna R. has been bred to Richmond Chief this year
and is thought to be now with foal. There have been
sixty mares booked to Richmond Chief this season.
The Bakersfield fair and race meeting this fall will
make the horsemen open their eyes when they see the
crowd that we can turn out here. It will be the banner
meeting of the circuic, and as our track will be in fine
shape good time will be made over it. The purses
will be generous and every favor possible shown the
horsemen. Tell the boys all to get ready to race at
Bakersfield in October. Yours,

Crude Oil.

Determined to Be Just.

George Starr, the well known reinsman, whose fund
of stories is as inexhaustib'e as it is amusing, told one
recently on a well meaning German citizen who acted
as starting judge at a meeting down in Pennsylvania.
When the first heat was called, the starter planted his
ample "equator" over the rail of the stand and for a
moment hesitated as to the means of assigning the
horses' positions.

A local driver was in the race and the starter settled
matters by calling him over and telling him to let the
boys decide the positions among themselves. The
"local," with true horseman's tact, selected the pole
for himself and was fortunate enough to win the heat.
When they lined up for the second the ,;local" of
course had the pole, When they scored down once
the fair-minded German '-ailed him to the stand and
in an irate voice, said:

"George, don't act like a d hog. You had the

pole the last time. Now you give it to that man with
the green cap, who came in last."

Errors in the Year Book.

The compilers of the Year Book are getting lots of
back-handed compliments, mostly from those who
have had very limited experience in compiling pedi-
grees. Much of the blame for the delay in getting
this work before the public is due to secretaries of
trotting tracks. Many of those secretaries fail to
require those who enter horses at their meetings to
comply with Rule 0 of the National Trotting Associa-
tion. Section 3 of that rule is as follows:

It shall be distinctly stated whether the entry be a
stallion, mare or gelding, and the names of the sin <>.nd
dam, if known, shall be given in all cases', and when un-
known, it shall be so stated in the entries. If this require-
ment as to pedigree is not complied with, the entry
may be rejected, and when the pedigree is given, it
shall be stated by tbe member with the publication of
the entry, and if the pedigree or record of a horse be
falsely stated for the purpose of deception, the guilty
party shall be fined, suspended or expelled.

This rule should be strictly enforced, but many sec-
retaries overlook the matter. The compiler then has
to write the secretary, asking the name and address of
the party making the entry. After learning that fact
he must write the owner of the animal. In some cases
the owner is too busy to reply promptly, or the letter
of inquiry is mislaid, so that it is a long time before
the facts as to the breeding can be ascertained.

The recent Year Books may contain a greater num-
ber of errors than were found in the earlier, for the
same reason that white sheep eat more hay and grass
than black ones. We think, however, that such well
posted horsemen as have compared them will agree
that the ratio of errors is actually less in the late
works than in the earlier ones. — Am. Sorse lined' ,-.

your mares at anything from a feed of oats to $5 each.
If his horse's services are not worth more than that
they are not worth one cent, let alone four or six
quarts of good oats. You would take it hardly if on
driving your carload of swine to market the dealer
told you he could not take them because someone else
had come in from a distance and offered him a similar
quantity of "long-noses" at SI per cwt. less than you
wanted. You would think that this dealer with whom
you had neighbored for years ought to patronize his
home market first, would you not?

Aod another thing. Always remember that if a
mare is not worth breeding to a good stallion at a liv-
ing fee she is not worth breeding at all and ought not
to be allowed to perpetuate her inferioi'ity. If a poor
mare is bred at all she should be mated with the best
horse available of her kind. But the poorest are usu-
ally mated with the poorest and that is the reason
why we can sell so many warriors to John Bull at a
range of 865 to S90 at six to eight years old — not the
cost of production, all things considered. There is no
shortage of the supply of that sort.

Selecting the Stallion.

The breeding season is now well begun in this local-
ity. The old question, "To which stallion shall I breed
my mires'.-'" bobs up serenely once more, says an
exchange.

It is impossible to give specific answers for each
locality, but it is possible to lay down a few general
rules that may be told in short order. In the first
place breed to a horse typical of his breed in size and
in every other way, and one that is suited to the mares
in question. Then select the one that is best bred.
These two pieces of advice go without the saying.
Moreover, never mate a mare with a stallion that has
loathsome, dirty sores on his legs, no matter whether
tbey are on hoof-heads, ankles or hocks. Do not per-
mit your mares to be covered by a horse that when
ready to work does not seem to be "quite right."
Careless and untrained grooms have spread disease
and great loss broadcast through communities by not
properly caring for their stallions. Do not breed to a
horse that is lame unless the cause thereof is known to
be merely passing in its nature and quite recent. Look
carefully for curbs, spavins, ring-bones, side-bones and
all such unsoundnesses and when found pass up the
horse with a milky eye, no matter what may be said
as to the cause. Do not breed to a blind horse, or any
horse that has a small piggy eye. Select one with the
sort of eye that may be knocked from the head with
the proverbial club without ever touching a bone.

Look well to the feet, reject soft, spongy hoofs, low

Good Grooming Pays.

There is no season of the year when good grooming
of horses does not pay large dividends in actual dollars
and cents, but the returns from intelligent care of the
equine skin are perhaps larger at this debatable period
than at any other in the whole twelve months. Be
the reason what it may in each particular case the
fact remains th-it few horses receive as careful groom-
ing in cold weather as they do in warm. Now they
are shedding or beginning to shed their long hair and
if they are not granted an adequate measure of assist-
ance and the dirt, dandruff and dead hair removed
the horses will not thrive as they ought. Take a horse
that is commencing to get rid of his winter coat; hooK
him up and drive him until he is just warm enough to
show a slight dampness on the outer hair. Then un-
hook him, shove him back in his stall and see what
he will do. He will rub and wrestle himself into all
sorts of shapes in the effort to get that coat of his
stirred up and loosened and if he does not obtain relief
he is liable to rub the entire stall to the ground. Then
most likely he will get a threshing for meanness. So
far from meanness, though, this horse is showing a
vast deal more sense than his master. He knows that
his old coat ought to come off about this time and he
is merely trying to do what nature tells him he ought
to do. By all means help the horses to get rid of their
winter coats, but do not hurry the process too greatly.
It is not right to go savagely at the hair with sharp
curry-comb and yank and pull and tear the hair out
in bunches. The hair which is ready to fall away will
come easily. If tbe strongly-rooted hair is pulled out
the skin will be made sore. Similarly with grooming.
When the old hair has been gotten rid of for the day
brush outali the dirt from that which is left. Remem-
ber also that hardly any two horses ought to be
groomed just alike. Grooming is health; for the
horse in that, besides removing dirt and dead matter,
it promotes the rush of the blood to the vessels that
are closest to the outer skin, and in that way draws
added nourishment to it and enables the skin to prop-
erly perform its many and complex duties in the equine
economy. But there are skins and skins on horses,
and the grooming that will just suit one will drivo
another Crazy in a short time. In other words the
skin of the horse must at all times be kept clean.
especially SO at this time of year, bul
be used iu cleaning it.— /•' I zette.

Comparison of Leading Trotting Families.

The evolution of the trotter toward the two-minute
goal with many nowadays is not considered a matter
of blood lines at all, but rather of methods of training
and paraphernalia, including fast tracks, light sulkies,
etc. Still, the study of the leading families affords
highly interesting statistics, all going to show that
there is no infallible combination of blood forces that
will produce speed to a certainty, while showing at the
same time there are certain bloods that do so with
more uniformity than others. Alexander's Abdallah,
Electioneer and George Wilkes are the three leading
sons of Hambletonian, and of course that means the
greatest progenitors of speed

In making a comparison of these I was, however,
struck with the dissimilarity with which all these
acquired their greatness.

In the first generation Electioneer sired Arion 2:07J,
Sunol 2:0SJ and Palo Alto 2-.08J, race trotters of the first
water, and in this and subsequent generations this
family has held a majority of the world's records.

In the case of George Wilkes, his progeny either
near or remote has but rarely secured world's records,
and his fastest immediate progeny was Harry Wilkes
2:13^, yet his descendants in the 2:10 list outnumber all
the other sons of Hambletonian combined.

With Alexander's Abdallah, from which line tbe

Much Truth in This.

[Western Horsemen.]

There is altogether too much talk of a lack of oppor-
tunities among owners of trotting-bred horses. It has
been going on ever since the writer can remember and
long prior to that date. An owner of a stallion may
be found placing himself and his horse in the "excuse
column." He laments the fact that his horse has
never had the opportunity of proving his inherent
greatness; that the class of mares bred to him were
always inferior; that the owners of colts and fillies
sired by his stallion never developed them: that every-
thing had worked against his horse from the day he
brought him from "old Kentucky, so far away," and
the man's whole life Is spent in lamentations. Another
owner, referring to same subiect, declares tbat if his
stallion had been afforded opportunities such as were
given Nutwood, Belmont, Guy Wilkes, etc., that he
would now have those stallions smothered in the race
for popularity. Still another laments the lack of
recognition given his stallion and ascribes it to the
fact that he is poor in purse. Had his horse been
owned by Stanford, or some other wealthy man, he
would now rank with Electioneer, Red Wilkes, On-
ward, Pilot Medium, etc. As it is, he is not known
outside the voting precinct in which his owner resides.
These are only a few of the memoranda found in the

systematically boosts his horse; talks trade whenever
the opportunity presents itself, buys a good mare now
and then to help the cause along, patronizes the jour-
nals devoted to his particular line of breeding, and
does not begrudge another stallion owner the success
that has come as a result of similar efforts. One great
trouble with stallion owners is that too many of them
persist in believing that "trade should seek the horse."
rather than the "horse seeking the trade." They set
back upon their dignity and solemnly declare: "Here
is the horse. Patronize him if vou care to, or leave
him alone. It makes no difference to us. He is
destined to become great and some day you will wish
that you bad realized that fact." The stallion grows
old, his owner finds the crowd passiDg by on the other
side, other stallions are being liberally patronized
other men are realizing a profit from their energetic
methods of soliciting trade, but no one cares for the
horse that has been neglected by its owner, and he
proves a failure through lack of "opportunities."

Pistol a Private Stallion.

Mr. B. S. Krehe, of San Jose, writes us under date
of April 2d, that he has withdrawn his stallion Pistol
by Lancelot from public service and will only breed
him to a few of his own mares this year. We believe
Mr. Krehe will have Pistol trained for a record. Alcyo

entirely different. He never sired a 2:10 performer;

no son of his ever acquired that distinction, and no

daughter ever produced one to take a record in this

select circle, but the third generation shows an influx

of extreme speed that a table is necessary to show just

what they have accomplished.

The study of blood lines is one of the most interest-
ing that could be imagined, and I venture the assertion
there never was an owner who came into possession of
a fast or well bred horse who commenced to examine
his pedigree, but became fascinated by the search for
information on the subject, which is one of the princi-
pal charms of the business. — Palmer Clark.

track is a McMurray and the only tool needed is a

"Stallion Owner's Excuse Book," and there is abso-
lutely nothing to the entire list of whys and where-
fores. Lamentations never boosted a stallion into a
prominent position, and they certainly will never keep
him there.

Such talk is only another form of playing for sym-
pathy. Intelligent determination and persistence will
eventually bring success to any well bred trotting
stallion. The better the horse and the more thorough
the methods used to boost him, the greater the success
achieved. In the first place, there must be something
in the horse. His blood lines should be of the best,
and by this we do not mean length of pedigree, for
many a stallion can boast of a long number of standard
crosses, and yet not one of them prolific; not one of
them fashionable; not one of them tracing to families
that have achieved success in the stud, upon the track
or at the sale ring, unless too far removed to be of any
present value. No one can boost such a horse into
prominence; the history of the light harness horse
proves this. A successful sire may become famous,
but it is impossible for any stallion to become success-
ful unless his owner applies himself to the task. Nut-
wood was successful long before be became famous.
No really good sire is first famous and afterwards suc-
cessful. A young stallion may attract favorable atten-
tion, but if his owner neglects to furnish him the oppor-
tunities that are obtainable he will never become suc-
cessful.

Opportunities are plentiful, but are not lying around
promiscuously. They must be searched for, and the
progressive owner of a well bred stallion goes a-gun-
ning for opportunities at all seasons of the year. He

2:10, the other stallion, will be in the stud as advertised.
Wh le Alcyo stands at $100 the season, it should be
remembered tbat the cost of service fees when breed-
ing to a first class stallion is not so much to be con-
sidered as the probable cost to develop the produce.
As everyone knows who has had any experience in
this line, to train a colt for two, three or four years
before he is ready to goto the races costs very often
more than the horse is worth, but when a colt comes
to his speed early and is ready to race almost as soon
as he is thoroughly broken to harness, the cost is very
little, and one has a more valuable colt and one that
will readily sell for a good price. Alcyo's colts are
all possessed of early and extreme speed. Mr. Krehe
tried to purchase one or two to bring to California and
the lowest price he could get on any of them was $1000
for a two year old filly at Worcester, Mass. The fol-
lowing is an extract from a letter received by Mr.
Krehe from the former owner of Alcyo:

CUMBERLAND Hill, R. I., Mch. 12, 1902.
Mr. B. S. Krehe, Dear Sir.-— Tell your patrons to
Alcyo 2:10 tbat his get are large, rugged, sound and
bulldog race horses, and that they bring good money.
I don't know of one I can buy for $500.
Yours truly,

Frank E. Stevens.

Death of The Bard.

The noted English stallion The Bard is dead. In
1886 The Bard, Ormonde and Minting were considered
the greatest three year old colts ever produced in
England. His progeny last year won $140,000.

according to the last catalog.

Texas has a larger number of horses than any other
state, with a total of 1,125,000.

ReadviHo got 171 entries in her six early closing
purses — surely a handsome showing.

John Splan thinks Dan Patch 2:04! will beat the
2:01} of his sire, Joe Patcben, this year.

Indianapolis is to be honored with the first publii
appearance of Cresceus, 2:02}, for the season.

association

Name your stallion in the Special Harness Stallion
Stake offered by the California State Agricultural
Society. Entries close May 1st.

Albert H Merrill of Danvers, Mass., the well known
New England starting judge, has been engaged to give
the word at the Grand Circuit meeting at Glens Falls,
X. Y., September 15 to 19.

Cherokee Prince 2:18, son of Dexter Prince, will
make the season of 1902 In Carson Valley, Nevada.
His colts in California are uniformly large and good
looking horses and have speed.

Tho compilers of the new Year Book evidently for-
got that Peter Stirling reduced the world's record for
trotting geldings to 2:11.! last year, as they still credit
Who Is It 2:12 with the championship.

A gentleman, who has no time to drive, offers for
sale, through our advertising columns, a very stylish
and handsome bay mare 165 hands high, city broke.
The figure asked is a low one— $300. See ad vertisement.

Director Gillespie of the Redding association was
in town this week. He says there were 5000 Deople in
attendance one day at the Redding meeting last "year,
and the crowd will be duplicated during the fair this
season.

The $16,000 Massachusetts for 2:12 class trotters has
eighteen nominations, among them one from C. E.
Clark, who will start Sue 2:12} if she is all right.
Sue is now in line to win $12,500 in two races by com-
ing first in each.

Representatives of the Monterey and the San Benito
agricultural associations will meet at Salinas next
Tuesday to consider the matter of dates, speed pro-
gram, size of purses, etc., for the fairs to be giver by
the two associations next fall.

Bell Boy 2:19', was burned to death, Election Bel
2:245 by St. Bel, died near Nashville a few weeks' ago,
St. Bel is dead and Electric Bell passed away a few
days ago at Gettysburg, Pa. Bell Boy, St. Bel and
Electric Bell were all out of Beautiful Bells.

Scott Hudson has a very promising young trotter
in his stable at Lexington in the roan fill v, B^lle Alev
(2) by Adbell 2:23, dam Lady Aley 2:13ft by Mr. B. S.
Kretie's stallion. Alcyo 2:10, that is now in service at
San Jose. She is entered in a number of rich stakes.

Glanders recently necessitated the destruction of the
Oregon pacing mare Alme 2:15}, by Memo — Babe
Leore, by Altamont. She was eight years old and
made her record last season at Spokane, Wash , and
was bred and owned by Amos Wilkins of Coburg, Ore.

C. A. Durfee had a chance to double his money on
his colt by McKinney 2:11}, out of Elsie by General
Benton, that was foaled January 30th, but he declined
with thanks. A full brother to this colt that died at
Palo Alto was said to be the fastest thing of its age
ever seen on the faim.

There are at least a half dozen trotters and pacers
in the string being worked by Sandy Smith at the
bpreckels Farm at Aptos that are Grand Circuit ma-
terial. Sandy will show speed when he reaches Cleve-
land with these horses that should lead buyers to bid
lively on them.

The Kings County Fair have claimed the week of
September loth to 20th for its fair and race meeting.
Hanford held one of the best fairs given in California
last year, the attendance being very large The as60-
c.ation will try to make the fair of this year a still
greater success.

G. E. Smith is working a few horses at the Petaluma
track. He has a green pacer that is showing speed of
a high order for the work he has had and will be
ready to go down the line if there are any purses
offered. Mr. Smith says the track Is in very good
condition at present.

Jere O'Neil has declared his opinion to the effect
that Royal R. Sheldon 2:04} has as much speed as
anybody's pacer. Royal R. Sheldon won three races,
all his starts, last season, defeating Connor, Indiana,
Edith W., The Maid. Hal B., Bonnie Direct. Dumont,
Riley B. and Hetty G.

Henry S. 2:12}, the Michigan bred gelding, by Gold-
stone, who was a much touted M. i- M. possibility of
1900, and a good trotter until he broke down, is to be
trained again. He was not raced last year, but is
now being named in some of the early closing 2:12
classes on the Grand Circuit.

E. C. Seary of Findlay, Ohio, has purchased the
fashionably bred stallion Oakwood Prince bv Dexter
Prince, sire of Eleata 2:08}, etc., dam by Electioneer,
and after a short season will race him for a fast record.
The dam of Oakwood Prince is full sister to Sphinx
2:20!, Egotist 2:231 and Electrite 2:28}.

The four year old brother to Boralma2:07, owned by
Dr. McCoy, Kirkwood Park, Del., has been entered in
some of the early closing events. His name is Pan-
Michael

A pair of good roadsters, one a pacing mare, the
other a trotting gelding, together with buggy and
single and double harness are offered for sale. See
advertisement.

Nora McKinney 2:16}, that good mare which Farmer
Bunch campaigned last year, and is considered a sure
2:10 prospect, has been added to Millard Sanders
string at Pleasanton.

Thesumof $5000 was paid last week by Ball Brothers
of Versailles, Kentucky, for the prize saddle stallion
Montgomery Chief, a "son of Bourbon Cbief, he by
Harrison Chief 3841, sireof the dam of Will Kerr 2:075.
Montgomery Chief is five years old and has beaten
everything he has met in the show ring.

It now looks as though there would be no interme-
diate class for pacers at some cities in the Grand Cir-
cuit between the free for all and the 2:06 and 2:07 class.
If this should prove to be the case Dan Patch 2:04.!
will be forced to line up with Anaconda 2:01} and
Prince Alert 2:00}, Coney 2:02 and Searchlight 2:03}.

Mr. A. C. Nash, of Oakland, has purchased from C.
L. Crellin a very handsome and stylish three year old
mare by Charles Derby. The mare has shown great
speed for a youngster and is one of the best disposi-
tioned animals ever on the Pleasanton track. Mr.
Nash will leave her in J. M. Alviso's care for a time
and then use her on the road.

Azmoor 2:20A is being well patronized at Sacramento,
having been bred to 17 mares already and there are
six more booked thus far. He bears his twenty years
of life so lightly that Vet Tryon says visitors rather
doubt his word when he tells them Azmoor's age. He
can still step a very lively clip when exercised on the
track and can show all hisolJ time speed for a quarter.

George H. Ketcham will soon begin training at the
Toledo track. He will begin with a stable of eight.
Of course the great Cresceus is the most important of
the bunch. He will be jogged on the local track,
occasionally being given a fast mile to limber him up
for the flights against time later in the season. The
others are Aldine Medium, with a mark of 2:151; The
General, a green trotter byBirchwood; Redwood, an
untrained performer by the same sire: Crescent Route,
a sou of Cresceus, with a mark of 2:24}; Tamerlane, a
pacer, with a record of 2:24}, and a green horse by
Robert McGregor out of Princess by Princeps.

Dewdrop Basler by Robert Basler 2:20, foaled April
2d. a bay filly by Zombro 2:11. The filly is large and
lusty looking, marked with a star and the right bind
foot and pastern ana left hind foot white. She is
entered in the Breeders Futurity and Mr. R O. New-
man, her owner considers her good enough to com-
mence figuring on right now.

Assistant Secretary John B. Williams writes us from
Denver that a very large number of friends and mem-
bers of the order gathered at Elk's Hall in that city
last Sunday afternoon to pay respect to the late
Johnnie Blue who was a member of Lodare No. 7, B.
P. O. E. His remains were buried in Elks' Rest at
Riverside cemetery. The Episcopal service was read
by the Rev. Charles H. Marshall, also a member of
that lodge.

Secretaries of associations holdiog membership in
the National Trotting Association who want to be sure
about not transgressing the new rule which prohibits
racing after sunset, should secure a copy of the Chicago
Horst man of March 18th, as it contains a table which
gives the sunset hour in every part of the I'nited
States and Canada for the entire year. It will be
handy to post in the judges' stand with an index finger
nointing to it.

P. J. Williams has a new advertisement of his stal-
lion Monterey 2:09} in this issue of the Breeder and
Sportsman which we ask all breeders to read care-
fully. Mr. Williams has one of the greatest young
stallions in America beyond a doubt and the colts by
Monterey will be dropping into the extreme fast lists
as soon as they are old enough to start. Walter Ma-
ben has one at Los Angeles that is considered a regu-
lar crackerjack.

Frank Colby, a well known Detroit trainer, suffered
a heavy loss last week, his stables together with seven-
teen horses and colts having been destroyed by fire.
Among the horses burned were Red Roval 2:24} bv
Red Wilkes, Harry P. 2:23} by Judge Wilson, The
King 2:265 by Sphinr, Maiden Queen 2:13}, a pacing
mare, and several others with records. Harry P. and
The King were considered good enough for the M. &
M. this year. The total loss will foot up $30,000.

Axtellion's record of 2:145 was rejected by the
American Trotting Register Association, not because
the horse did not earn it, but because his name was
omitted from the program on the day on which he
made the effort. Just a day or two previously Axtel
lion trotted a mile in 2:15} under rule, and that record
stands.

Is your stallion a young horse that has not yet made
a record in the stud? Name him in the Special Har-
ness Stallion Stake offered by the California State
Agricultural Society, which closes May 1st. If one of
the get of your horse should win the stake it will be
an advertisement that will bring him many mares the
following spring.

Sandy Smith, who will go to Cleveland in a few
weeks with the Spreckels horses consigned to the
Cleveland sale, has received a commission from a
couple of Eastern trainers to purchase two carloads of
the best California hay. Sandy says he will select the
Pleasanton vaiiety and if they can't win with it their
horses are no good.

Eastern farm horses, the chunky-made, thick fellows
from 1100 to 1250 pounds, are in more active demand
in Buffalo, N. Y., than the oldest member of the trade
there can remember. Such sell at from $100 to $125
with larger chunks at proportionately higher figures.
A load of chunks to average 1500 pounds went out last
week at $150 per head.

It is intimated that Senator Horace White, Syra-
cuse, N. Y., is the purchaser of Maud Maxine Maxwell,
the three year* old California bred filly by Boodle 2:125,
and which is said to be a very fast trotter. The Sena-
tor is one of the leading members of tfce matinee club
at Syracuse, and it is probable that he bought her to
drive in amateur events.

It is said that Andy Welch will try to arrange a
great wagon race for amateur reinsmen as a feature of
the Fourth of July trotting meeting at Oakley Park,
Cincinnati. He hopes to bring together Lucille 2:07,
driven by C. K. G. Billings: The Monk 2:08}. driven
by FredGerken; John A. McKerron 2:10, driven by
H. K. Devereux; Lord Derby 2:065, driven by E. E.
Smathers, and another fast horse driven by Julius
Fleischmann, the Mayor of Cincinnati. The Queen
City of the South will practically inaugurate the Grand
Circuit.

Scott Hudson has a most formidable stable at
Lexington. The recent additions to his string include
Chanute 2:265, out of the dam of Janie Sbelton 2:13};
Twinkle 2:13}, by Mercurv, and Willie Glen 2:11|.
These with Audubon Boy 2:06. Hawthorne 2:13, Don
Riley 2:10}, Kanawha Star 2:14}, Baron Bell 2:18},
Grace Arlington, trial 2:13}; Tertimin 2:24, Orrin B.,
trial 2:085: Cash, Jr., 2:20, and others will keep Hud-
son and his assistants busy enough when the working
season comes. Hawthorne and Audubon Boy have
only recently been taken up, and the trainer has no
fault to find with them.

The particulars of Johnnie Blue's death as given by
the Denver Sews are as follows: He had just finished
jogging the horse Leigh Crawford, and after telling
the stable boys that the colt seemed to pull him a good
deal, he sat down on a chair apparently exhausted.
He suddenly collapsed and fell off the chair before the
boys could get to him. "Never mind, boys," he said;
'■I feel a little week, but I will be all right in a little
while." Dr. H. J. Allen was called and tried to relieve
the dying horseman, but all hope was soon given up,
as he commenced to sink gradually. Half an hour
alter he left his sulky he was dead, in the arms of Ed
Connelly.

Mr. P. W. Bellingall of Oakland has sold his hand-
some and fast roadster gelding by Knight, sire of
Anaconda, to Presiding Judge Murphy of the Califor-
nia Jockey Club, and the horse has been turued over
to Budd Doble to drive until Mr. Murphy leaves for
his home in St. Louis. This gelding is a bay, a high
headed and bold going fellow and could take a record
below 2:20 if trained. His dam is by Secretary, son of
Director, second dam thoroughbred mare by Hubbard,
third dam by Lodi, fourth dam by Billy Cheatem and
fifth dam by imp. Glencoe. Here is a pedigree that
the editor of the Am* rican Morse Breeder could write a
page article on without exhausting the subject. Mr.
Bellingall has been the boss of the road since he has
been driving this horse and Judge Murphy will be able
to ride well in front at St. Louis, no matter how hot
the company.

The Brighton Beach Trotting Association has
secured as an attractive special the U"r.<> lu vit "•'•
stake of about $8000 value, for trotting foals of 1899.
This has usually been decided in the West. Never
has it been brought off east of Buffalo. It is second
only to the Kentucky Futurity as a turf fixture of
national importance and leading breeders are all
anxious to win it with scions of their best sires. In it
will be Oxford Boy 2:20 and Gracie Eldred 2:17. the
rivals of the Kentucky Futurity, two year old division,
who had a bitter battle at Lexington last October.
George W. Leavitt's Todd, public trial half in 1:061
last season, and a miie in 2:21. is another who, if
eligible, will make the cracks step well toward 2:12 to
defeat him. The entries are numerous and include
not a few as yet to make their first start or appear-
ance in public. It will be a red hot race, one of the
biggest betting events ever witnessed and will supplant
one or the other of the "Boralraa Specials'' very ably.

HIDALGO'S GOSSIP.

SPECIAL COBEESPOSDENCE.

#

Los Angeles, March 31.
We are having hot weather here, just now, in the
sunny South. As yet there is no smoke from burning
timber aDd the blue and gray Sierra Mad re looms up
in sterile grandeur above the ever green valleys of the
am and San Gabriel. Scores of heavily laden
tallv-hos throng the roads leading to Santa Anita and
intermediate spots that aie likely to interest the tender-
foot: and the electric cars that run down to the sea-
side at Redondo and Santa Monica are crammed with
tourists from every State in the Union.

A lair number of trotters and pacers are being
handled at the local track and there are wonderful
yarns told of a green trotter that can go away down
into the small "teens" and is yet eligible to all the
classes of the coming season. He has the blood of
George Wilkes, through Wilton: and that of Sultan,
through Del Sur, so he should not be deficient in stay-
ino- quality, as his more remote crosses are of Rifleman
and Woodburn, two of our best early importations of
thoroughbreds. Did you ever look over a lot of
modern bred trotters and pause to reflect how much
more quality they exhibit than did the' trotters of
forty years ago? The only trotters of the pioneer era
that showed much quality were Glencoe Chief 2:32;
and May Queen 2:29. The latter was a mare brought
out here in 1864 by John B. Gallar, otherwise known
as "Agony Jack," from his squealing voice. She be-
came the property of Col. P. A. Finnegan and he pre-
sented her to James C. Flood, of the bonanza quartette,
in return for which Mr. Flood gave Mr. Finigan some
"pointers" on Consolidated Virginia that brought the
liveryman well up towards theslender circleof million-
aires. Whether May Queen ever produced anything
equal to herself in quality or speed, or whether she
ever had a foal at all, I never knew.

Glencoe Chief was a gray gelding with the hardest
set of legs I ever saw on a horse. He could always
beat Jim Barton 2:32 if the heats were broken; and
unless I am very badly mistaken, he once won a ten-
mile race at Sacramento' in thirty five minutes, with
the lines lying on his back, for he was over two hun-
dred yards ahead of his nearest competitor, Bell
Ringer; and the last two miles were done in 10:30, so
you can see he was merely jogging at the finish.
Glencoe Chief was the property of Capt. Stephen
Card, who drew a subsidy of $1000 per month from the
old California Steam Navigation Co., for letting his
little boat, the Martin White, lay up against the Yolo
bank opposite Sacramento. But when the railroad
people got hold of the boats, they cut off all subsidies
and poor old Card died in the most abject poverty.

Another very handsome horse in early days, though
he came here at least seven years later than Jim Bar-
ton and Glencoe Chief, was Fleet, a bobtailed black
horse brought out across the plains in 1S84 by Capt.
Ben Harris. The Captain trotted him one good race
at Sacramento and then sold him to General D. D.
Colton. Colton matched him and Jim Barton against
Honest Ance and Latham, but could not win the
match. It was in that race that Harris Covey drove
the greatest heat I ever saw trotted by a double team.
Ance and Latham won by the shortest of necks in
2:40, after Covey's team had been at least 250 yards
behind at the half mile. Fleet came out of that race
all right but caught cold in San Francisco shortly
afterwards and died about four weeks after landing in
the Bay City. I shall always believe that th- three
greatest road horses I ever saw were Dan Rice bji
Dewey's Kentucky Hunter; Calvin Kellogg's Mountain
Boy (a winner in Oregon under the name of Jim Me-
Donough) by Vermont, and this same horse, Fleet,
whose breeding is wholly unknown to me.

Those were the days of great trotting races and
great sport on the road coming home. The track was
called Shell Park and located about fifteen miles from
the Plaza. It was on a marsh not far from Millbrae, a
place which (so Bierce says) signifies " the voice of a
thousand jackasses." Mr. D. O. Mills, who owns the
place, evidently begs leave to differ with the astute
Ambrose. How many a time in coming back from
that track I have taken the old county road over the
sandhills, to avoid the pell mell rush of passing teams
along the San Bruno drive along the bay shore. The
horses of that day have long since died and most of
the men have followed them.

The horses of that day had not much quality but
most of them could trot fast on the road and stay like
a mother-in-law. The trotters of to-day are more
elegantly turned and a great deal faster. Now take
McKinney for instance. He is a very masculine look-
ing horse but not very handsome, and yet. "-bile most

of his sons are quite plain looking (mind you, they are
built all right to go the route) his daughters are ex-
ceptionally beautiful. About three years ago Mr. C.
C. Hastings held a sale at Agricultural Park, where
the vetaran, Noyes, furnished the eloquence of the
occasion. Among the offerings were two McKinney
fillies, four and five years old. A. W. Christy from
Milwaukee, if I remember right, bought them sepa-
rately at something less than $900. When he came to
pay for them, he said, " Well, they may beat me for
speed with these two mares but I will knock them all
out for style and good looks." And I agreed with him
for they were two beauties. And the same applies,
though in a less degree, perhaps, to all that famous
horse's progeny. I have yet to see a McKinney mare
that is not handsome above the average.

The question that therefore arises in my mind is,
does speed beget quality or in any wise lead up to it?
It certainly cannot come through any other agency.
The clean, hard limbs of the modern American trotter
as compared with the bushy fetlocks and gummy
hocks of the trotters of fifty years ago, cannot well
escape the survey of old race goers like myself. Sul-
tan's descendants show this trait in every line of their
anatomy, but his sire, The Moor, was full of thorough-
bred blood and the blood of American Eclipse, at that.
In Kentucky, they breed a thoroughbred mare three
or four times to a thoroughly tried racing sire; and if
she fails to drop a good selling plater to any of the
four matings they back her up to a trotter. So far
the results have been good.

In this State we were fortunate enough to have old
Belmont for a foundation. He trotted in 3:05 to a
skeleton wagon, driven by Patrick Green, who was as
much surprised as any of the spectators and said he
could have driven him at least three seconds faster
only he feared the consequences of a break. From the
daughters and granddaughters of Belmont and his
three sons — Owen Dale, Langford and Ben Lippincott —
have come some very useful trotters, if not absolutely
top-notchers. I sincerely hope that McKinney may
be spared for a long life, as his get are not only race
trotters and not obliged to go out for "tin cup" rec-
ords, but his daughters are about the handsomest and
most stylish mares I have ever seen in harness. The
modern American trotter is a "thing of beauty" in
most cases. Mr. Lopez was the first to call my atten-
tion to the fact, one day when we were examining
Stamboul at Mr. Hobart's place; and said he would
pass for a thoroughbred almost anywhere. Therefore
let us hope that his good son, Stain B , may never be
emasculated for the sake of a few giddy seasons on the
speedway of Manhattan. Hidalgo.

Judge Stratton Fatally Injured.

Our readers will read with sincere regret the sad
and fearful ending of the recent horse-breeding ven-
ture of Judge Irwin Stratton at San Bernardino in
this State. In our issue of March 22d there appeared
an article from the pen of our occasional correspond-
ent, "Alcantellum," giving the particulars of the re-
moval of Judge Stratton from Wichita, Kansas, to
this State, the jurist having chosen San Bernardino
because of its excellent school facilities and also be-
cause of its advantages as a place to breed horses. He
brought with him the stallion Norlin by Norval 2:14!;.
dam by Onward; also a stallion of the famous Hal
family of Tennessee. The following dispatch from San
Bernardino gives an account of a fearful and fatal
accident that befel Judge Stratton and Norlin last
Wednesday:

San Bernardino, April 2. — Judge Irwin Stra ton,
a prominent horseman recently from Wichita, Kas.,
was fatally injured in a collision here this afternoon
with a car of the San Bernardino Traction Company
and a Southern Pacific train, and Stratton's horse
Norlin was instantly killed. Strattou had come here
with a long string of blooded horses, and this after-
noon was exercising Norlin, driving along E street.
At a point in the road the tracks of the two railroad
companies parallel and both cars were northbound
and were racing each other. Norlin became frightened
at the noise, and just as the two cars were abreast of
Stratton his horse leaped across the trolley track and
was thrown in front of the Southern Pacific train, and
for over forty feet the horse and sulky were carried,
wedged in between the tenders of the two cars, both
tracks being less than six feet apart. Stratton was
still conscious when brought to tbis city, but he is
frightfully mangled and has sustained internal inju-
ries which the physicians state will result fatally.
Norlin was one ot most famous stallions of Kansas and
was valued at $3000.

During the month of April SUNSET LIMITED will
leave San Francisco for New Orleans every Monday,
up to and including April 21st, at 4:50 P. M., via San
Jose, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, El Paso, San An-
tonio and Houston. Direct connection with trains for
New York. Secure full information from any Agent

How to Lay Out a Race Track.

A Half-Mile Track —For a half-mile track draw
two parallel lines 000 feet long and 452 feet and 5 inches
apart. Half way between the extreme ends of the
parallel lines drive a stake; then loop a wire around
the stake long enough to reach to either side. Then
make a true curve with the wire putting down a stake
as often as a fence post is needed. When this opera-
tion is finished at both ends of the 600-foot parallel
lines, the track is laid out. The inside fence will rest
exactly on the line drawn and the track will measure
one-half mile, three feet from the fence. The turns
should be thiown up an inch, or an inch and an eighth
to the foot. The stretches may be anywhere from 45
to 60 feet wide.

One Mile Track. — For a mile track draw a line
through an oblong center 440 yards in length, setting
a stake at each end. Then draw a line on either side
of the first line, exactly parallel with and 417 feet and
two inches from it, setting a stake at either end of
them, You will then have an oblong square 440 yards
long and 834 feet and four inches wide. At each end
of these three lines set stakes. Now fasten a cord or
wire 417 feet and -wo inches long to the center stake
ot your parallelogram and describe a half sircle, driv-
ing stakes as often as you wish to set a fence post.
When the circle is made at both ends of your parallelo-
gram you will have two straight sides and two half
circles, which, measured three feet fi-om the fence',
will be exactly a mile. The turns should be thrown
up an inch and an eighth to the foot.

Dan Patch has a Level Head.

Myron E. McHenry, the Grand Circuit trainer and
race driver, jogged the $20,000 pacing stallion Dan
Patch 2:04J, back and forth over the upper stretch of
the Speedway yesterday, says "Percy" in the New
York Sun of March 29th, and but two or three recog-
nized either the great trainer or Mr. Sturgis' unbeaten
pacer. Dan Patch looks 150 pounds heavier than
when raced on the Grand Circuit all last season. He
wore an open bridle, harness free from ornamentation
and without a breeching, no boots or paraphernalia,
and to sit and look at him pacing along at a four or
five minute gait one would have to stretch his imag-
ination to fancy that he is the one pacer looked to for
a mile in a race this season in two minutes. He is a
second edition of his noted sire, Joe Patchen 2:01 J, as
regards his docility, and though he encountered auto-
mobiles and what-not on the way to the Speedway, so
levelheaded and intelligent is he that Mr. McHenry
says he scorned them as beneath his notice. Not once
was he inclined to start up, though he jogged about
five miles during the exercise hours.

Fatal Quarrel at Haggin Ranch.

William McCormick, a well known trainer of thor-
oughbred horses on this Coast, while under the influ-
ence of liquor, last Wednesday at the Rancho del
Paso, shot and killed a stableman named Thomas
Cullen. McCormick and Cullen were friends and no
cause is known for the deed other than the caprice of
a drunken man. McCormick was in the employ of
Theodore Winters for many years and prepared El
Rio Rey, Yo Tambien and other famous horses for I
their races. Both men were unmarried.

Friendsof Mr. Edward S. Hedges, well and favorably
known to all trotting horsemen through his connection
with their enterprises, will be grieved to learn that he
has at last been obliged to retire from business-
Despite the loss of his eyesight Mr. Hedges has kept
at work, under increasing difficulties due to various
physical troubles, until very recently; but now he is
absolutely incapacitated for further effort, and his
friends are trying to collect a fund to make him com-
fortable at least for a time. Subscriptions may be
sent to W. D. Grand or F. M. Ware, American Horse
Exchange, New York, and it is hoped that such re-
sponses may be prompt and liberal. Mr. Hedges is
well known as the secretary, etc., of the old Fleetwood
Park Association, and was associated with the late
Mr. W. B. Fasig under the name of Fasig & Co. Of .
late years he has cond ucted trotting sales at the Amer-
ican Horse Exchange, and was always active and ener-
getic in advancing the interests of all customers and
of the trotting bred horse.

For the European Championship.

The race for the trotting championship is not valu-
able Irom a monetary standpoint, but it is the racing
event of the year, attracting more attention than all
other European harness races combined. Each year
the result is watched for in America also, with almost
as keen interest as our most classic stakes. The Euro-
pean Championship Stake is annually trotted at the
Baden-Baden track near Vienna about August loth
and is on the American plan, mile heats to harness best
two in three. On March 1st entries closed for the con-
test of next summer, and nineteen entries were received
as follows:

Derby Lass 2:14, blk m by Charles Derby-Hey Dey
by Copperhead.

Gaytoo 2:U8J by Allerton-Lucy Wilton by Wilton.

Ingar by Nutwood.

Paul H., b h by Quartermaster.

Axmere 2:13J blk h bv Axtell-Nemesis by Nutwood.

Henrietta 2:12}, blk m by Idol Gift-Haroldia by
Harold.

A greater field of horses could not have been looked
for in America. A name that will strike the American
first, and will cause no end of comment, is the entry of
the Cleveland stallion, John A. McKerron 2:10. He
was not named by the owner, H. K. Devereux, but by
Leopold Hauser, a well known turfman of Vienna, who
purchased several noted trottors in this country. The
Europeans have done little buying in this country
since 1900, but the entry of McKerron may mean an-
other onslaught upon our market. The list of entries
contains the names of every great trotter now in train-
ing in Europe from Caid to the stallions Paul H. and
Allison Bismont that have no American records. Caid
has proven himself one of the greatest race horses on
the other side. He has won the championship, has
beaten the best two mile record, and by the Europeans
is called the best trotter they now have. Athanio is
almost his equal, in fact, it was this Village Farm cast-
off that won this race last year. Greenbrino is con-
sidered one of the toughest the Europeans ever bought.
Axmere has been most successful also, and it has been
said by the driver of Caid that if less is made of this
son of Axtell through the meetings of this month and
April than last year he will be one of the contending
horses next August. Wilburn M., although his Ameri-
can record is only 2:27, has trotted the Baden-Baden
track in 2:10 4-5 in a race. Bonnatella is also famous
as a European winner, but Gayton, Contralto and
Neeretta, have so far won practically nothing. The
race for the European championship is always trotted
in fast time. Last year Athanio trotted his winning
heats in 2:09 9-10- and 2:10}. In 1900 Caid trotted his
fastest winning heat in 2:10}, while in 1S99 Que Allen
trotted a heat in 2:08 2-5, which still stands as the
European trotting record. — Ckkuqo Horseman.

Anent Fake Sales.

against, and the owner only having one bid the buyer
is not defrauded. But to advertise for sale an animal
and allow it to go through the sale with the usual
accompaniment of oratory and bidding from stool
pigeons and those of honest intent is farcical and most
injurious to the management of the auction, as well
as for all concerned. Buyers are not eager to attend
sales where unfair methods prevail and the public can
hardly be expected to submit tamely to the practice
of by-bidding without a protest, for as is generally the
case the real owner is known, and when a horse is put
up and bid off by an outsider who claims to be acting
for a friend, and the horse at once returned to tbe
former owner just cause for criticism arises. The
auction mart is the legitimate place for disposing of
horseflesh, and there should be the same confidence
in such transactions as in any other business.''

Broodmare Sires.

There are stallions which have always been credited
with being great progenitors through their female
progeny, such as American Star, Pilot Jr., Mambrino
Patchen and his half-brother, Kentucky Clay, etc.,
but this idea is fast becoming only a reminiscence. It
will be seen by the appended t Die that Nutwood heads
the list, and as he also heads the list of sires of speed
the force of the old contention is lost at the very first
comparison. George Wilkes, the next in the list, adds
to the argument, if any such is necessary, as he has
been regarded as a progenitor through the male line.

The list appended gives all sires whose daughters
have produced fifty or more slaodard performers,
that is, horses with trotting records of 2:30 and pacing
records of 2:25 and better.

What will strike the reader most is the regularity
with which the sons and grandsons of old Hamble-
tonian appear. Indeed, if these were eliminated but
six sires would be left.

The Saddle -Bred Saddle Horse.

Much has been written and said regarding some of
the sales recently reported made, at a Kentucky sale
in which a noted horse was run up in the bidding into
the thousands, and when the truth was known it was
found that the horse had not been sold at all, but still
remained in the same hands. The Kentucky Stork
Furni speaks as follows regarding these fake sales:

"The importance of maintaining a reputation for
fair dealing can not be over estimated in horse selling.
Nothiog so injures the industry as fake sales, nor does
anything so quickly breed distrust in the public mind.
The obligations of buyer and sellershould be as strictly
adhered to as in any other business, and those of the
agent or auctioneer are even more sacred, for to them
the buying public looks for protection. The fact that
an animal is not sold when bid upon reflects discredit
on both seller and salesman, unless some satisfactory
explanation is made. The public is -suspicious, very,
and once a breeder or a salesman receives the stigma
of having acted in bad faith the harm done is soon
manifest. The honorable way is for an owner to place
a reserve bid on his property, for in this way the
bidders know whose money it is they are bidding

Rarely is a case more tersely and convincingly stated
than is this indictment against the thoroughbred as a
saddle horse, made public by Mr. Charles L. Railey,
whose winnings with saddle horses at the prominent
Western and Eastern shows easily class him as the
most successful saddle horse educator in the country:

"Much was said and written about fixing the type of
saddle horse at the National Horse Show last fall. "many
contending that the English expert had thrown no
light upon the subject by its awards at the Garden.
The Rider and Driver quoted the Englishman as leaning
towards the thoroughbred as tbe best type, but since
it takes many other qualities, characteristics and
graces, besides conformation, to round out tbe saddle
horse the query becomes pertinent: Can these be
found in the thoroughbred'/ My answer is, no; and
for many reasons:

"First, he is of too hot a temper, having since his
creation been trained and taught to do but one thing
— that is, go (run); therefore under restraint he frets,
fumes, yaws his head; then one's ride for pleasure or
exercise becomes a work of labor.

"Second, The thoroughbred fills tbe eye to look at
from the ground; on his back he is all wrong; bis
neck is rigid and cannot be flexed into good form; as
a rule he is higher over the hips than over the withers,
which gives the rider a sense of pitching forward or
riding down a bill, as it were. He has butlittle flexion
of the knee and hock, and this close-to-tbe-ground
ac'ion on the walk or trot causes him to trip more fre-
quently than any other breed of horse. In a life ex-
perience I do not recall one high class saddle horse
that was strictly a thoroughbred. I have bought
many beautiful sDecimens of the thoroughbred and
tried faithfully to develop a saddle horse, only to find
disastrous failure in each instance. The Kentucky
breeder long ago realized that the thoroughbred horse
was tbe foundation from which uo build for fineness of
head and neck, obliquity of shoulders, texture of coat,
quality of bone and tiuted leg, and while retaining
these qualities, add to them a higher carriage of head,
more action, a more docile temperament, and from
this idea was evolved the saddle-bred saddle horse of
Kentucky. There is no question but that the far-
sightedness of the Kentucky breeder produced the
most beautiful horse known in all the world."

This comes from a man who is himself a breeder of
thoroughbreds and who races a few each year, so that
no possible animus can be charged. It is merely a
a statement of facts known to every man who has ever
taken the trouble to acquaint himself with the subject.
Rarely has such success attended the efforts of breeders
bound together in endeavor by a common ideal as has
characterized the work of the organized breeders of
the American saddle horse. All this talk of establish-
a type of saddle horses in this country is mere waste of
words. A half century of breeding for a specific pur-
pose has established a type. Our best markets year?
ago recognized that type and bought it at the highest
prices ever paid for saddle horses. Only those who
come new to the game or a few Rip Van Winkles in
the horse world are unaware of this fact. Mr. Railey
has ample reason for saying: "I shall continue to
develop and exhibit this type — it dominates the show
ring, commands the top price, gives satisfaction."

The organizers of the American Saddle Horse
Breeders' Association who through thick and thin
have stood out sturdily for the type have laid users of
saddle horses under a burden of enduring obligation
to them for their systematic efforts to preserve, purify
and perfect the blood on which this great horse, the
handsomest in the world and the most intelligent, is
founded. — Breeders' Gazette.

The Trout Season Opens Auspiciously.

Not for many seasons past has there been in our
streams— the Coast and interior waters easy of access
from this city at least— such general and satisfactory
good luck as the fraternity of anglers have had this
week. In Marin county the Paper Mill and its tribu-
taries have been found full of fish. The fishing here
has been principally bait fishing, although the fly was
used to advantage." It is estimated that over 1000 fish
were taken in those waters on the 1st inst. Some of
the steelhead were big fellows, eight and nine pounders,
caught in the tide water pools, where they had been
reeupeiating after spawning and on their way to the
ocean again. The fly-fishermen, as a rule, caught the
small sized fish, the fingerliogs in almost every stream
seemed to have an abnormal appetite for the fly.

The old favorite Piota creek is somewhat high but
full of fish. Two country lads caught 300 fish there
Tuesday. Jake's creek, a tributary, is in splendid
shape for fly-fishing; the red spinner, black gnat and
coachman are the best lures at present. Vassar creek
is also in good shape. Messrs. Hines and Street caught
a splendid lot of fish there on Tuesday. Reports from
Sonoma, Nicasio, Ignacio and other nearby streams
are enticing.

Many anglers easily caught the limit, 50 trout, in the
Santa "Cruz streams daily this .reek. The San Gre-
gorio and La Honda from the lagoon up, contain
plenty of good sized fresh run fish. Prom the junction
of the two streams, E. Bartley fished out 75 trout
ranging from six inches to two pounds in size. The
other streams and lagoons in SaD Mateo county are also
reported full of risb.

Some good baskets of fish have been taken out of
the Llagas since the season opened. In fact it would
be easier to mention fishing waters that were unfruit-
ful than otherwise so generally good has been the
opening days of the present season.

A goodly* number of anglers eDJoyed the first day of
the season despite the rain. Many ladies were on the
streams and they were also most successful in landing
the speckled denizens of the waters.

The glowing reports anent the trout waters that
have been going* the rounds during the week have
given an universal spread to the fishing fever and it is
safe to predict that every angler who can get away
to-day and to-morrow will be on the streams indulging
in the sport.

The catching of big fish has in it something that is
attractive, else the pursuit of the land-locked salmon
in most waters would not be so keenly sought after.
There is nothing exeitiDg, claim some anglers, in lolling
in a nicely cushioned boat or canoe aDd being pulled
up aDd down the feeding grounds, while a heavy laden
sinker keeps the bait and 150 feet of line far down
below the surface of the lake. A heavy drag, and
you know you've struck a fish. For a minute or two,
perhaps a iittle longer, there is some real excitement
before the fish is got into the boat. Then the same
old business of trolling for another goes on How
much better. aDd how much more exciting, to wade
down a swift running stream, casting your fly here, or
switching it there, sometimes landing a thre-quarter-
pounder on a thread-like line; sometimes losing one a
little bigger that madly rushed down the stream, al-
most running between your legs, finally getting away
before the slack could be reeled in. That's sport
indeed, and that's fishing. Trolling is fishing, but it's
not the sport compared to the other.

Oroville Rod and Gun Club Organized.

A number of prominent Oroville sportsmen met last
week at the U. S. Hotel for the purpose of taking
steps to form a gun club. After the matter was
thoroughly discussed, much enthusiasm being dis-
played over the project in hand, an organization was
effected to be known as the Oroville Rod and Gun
Club, and the following: officers were elected: Presi-
dent, J. W. Godfrey, Vice-President, C. W. Putnam;
Secretary, TJ. M. Damon; Treasurer, W. J. Schneider;
Trustees, W. W. Will, A. King and August Johnson.
The following committees were appointed: Finance, C.
M. Damon, A. Boetsch and Roe Derby; Constitution
and By-Laws, Roe Derby, Ray Frost and W. J.
Schneider.

A great deal of interest was displayed in the meet-
ing, over fifty members signing the roll. Steps will
betaken at once to purchase traps, bluerocks, etc.,
and prepare for future sport.

The club will endeavor to have all the game laws
enforced and to secure the protection of game at all
times. They will also have the surrounding country
stocked with Chinese pheasants.

"The fish ladder which is supposed to allow fish to
pass up the American river over our big dam here has
been taken away, and there is no chance for the
spawning fish to pass the dam," said one of the em-
ployees of the Folsom Prison to a Becord-Z'nion reporter
last Saturday.

"There is one good feature about the absence of
the fish ladder, and that is, the convicts will have lots
of fish to eat. It's tough on the fish, because when
they run' up against the dam they are corralled, but
it's a feast for the convicts."

Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake, la , on the 28th inst ,
won the match for the "Sportsmen's Review" trophy,
and now by this win takes absolute possession of that
cup. The contestants were Gilbert, J. A. R. Elliott
and W. R. Crosby of O'Fallon, 111. Gilbert and Elliott
tied on 47 out of 50, Crosby losing four birds. In the
shoot-off at 10 birds, Elliott lost his first, second and
sixth, Gilbert killing 10 straight. The race was at 50
live birds.

Tbe Hazard Powder announcement on page 14 is a
reminder to sportsmen that those goods are still on
the market and made for all kinds of shooting.

The Brannock bill to prevent trap shooting at live
birds was passed by the Ohio House on March 28th
without opposition. The bill provides a heavy penalty
for violation of the statute for the prevention of this
alleged and particular cruelty to animals.

Grand American Handicap.

The largest gathering of sportsmen in the history
of trap shooting took place this week at Kansas City;
where the tenth Grand American Handicap at live
birds was held. In the principal event there was 493
entries, of which number 456 shooters started in the
shoot lor the Grand American trophy.

This annual trap shooting event is a strong indica-
tion of the great and increasing popularity of the sport
of pigeon shooting. The first Grand American Handi-
cap was held in 1893 at Dexter Park. The winner had
to drop his bird within 21 yards of the trap to score.
There were four ties on 23 birds. R. A. Welch, 28
yards, won the trophy, N. E. Money, 28 yards, was
second. The next shoot, 1894, was held at the same
place, there being 54 entries and 54 starters. Two
straights only were made at this shoot, T. W. Morfey,

28 yards and Captain Money, 30 yards. On the shoot
off Morfey won, the score was 12 to 10 birds. Willard
Park, larger and more commodious, was the scene of
the shoot in 1895. There were 61 entries, 58 of whom
started, three straights were made; in the shoot-off, J.
G. Messner, 26 yards, won on 10 straight. J. A. R.
Elliott, 33 yards, won second money at this meeting,
in 1896, Elkwood Park, New Jersey, was selected for
the shoot. Out of 109 shoooters entered, 105 started.
No straights were shot at this G. A. H. meeting, there
were eight ties on 24 pigeons; in the miss and out shoot
off, O. R. Dickey. 29 yards, won first on five straight.
S. Glover. 30 yards, was second high gun. In 1897, at
Elkwood Park, T. A. Marshall, 28 yards, was the
winner on the only straight score. Nine men tied on
24 birds each, but there was no shoot-off for second
place. There were 146 entries and 135 of the shooters
slarted. Again at Elkwood Park in 1898, 207 sports-
men entered for the G. A. H. shoot, 187 of them faced
the traps. It will here be noticed that the increase in
entries in six years was considerable. Nine shooters
made straight scores of 25 birds each. E. D. Fulford,

29 yards, won the trophy on 23 straight in the miss
and out tie shoot-off. G. W. Loomis, 28 yards, was
runner-up.

The year following, 1899, 278 shotgun experts entered
the lists at Elkwood Park, of which 262 shot up in the
main event for the trophy. There were six straight
scores of 25 pigeons each. The tie shoot off, miss and
out; was won by T. A. Marshall, 29 yards, who killed
33 straight, giving him the honor of twice winning the
principal annual trap shooting event with the sports-
men of the United States and Canada. CM. Grimm, 29
yards, was second high gun. In 1900, tbe shoot was
conducted at Interstate Park, Long Island, where a
perfectly appointed trap shooting ground was con-
structed, a commodious club house, an underground
system of traps, etc., possibly one of the best fitted up
grounds for trap shooting in the world. The entries
for the Grand American numbered 224, of which 212
. shooters faced the traps in the main event. Eight
shooters killed straight, H. D. Bates, 28 yards, won on
the miss and out tie shoot with 34 straight. J. R. •
Malone, 2s yards, won second place. Last year 222
shooters paid first forfeit, of these, 200 shot out the
main race for the G. A. H. cup. E. C. Griffith, 28
yards, was one of the 22 straight scores and won out
on the tie miss and out with 18 straight. J. L. D.
Morrison, 29 yards, was second high gun. This shoot
was also held at Interstate Park.

The meeting this year, by reason of prohibitive leg-
islation against live bird shooting, necessitated a
chaDgeof location for holding the shoot. After ma-
ture consideration the Interstate Association selected
Kansas City, Mo , for the meeting. That this was a
popular move is evidenced by an entry list of 493
shooters who had designs on the trophy, tlie $1500
guaranteed money and entrance money which swelled
the total purse to over $12,000. Of the original en-
trants in the main event 456 started on Wednesday
morning. At the end of the first day 143 wing shots
had secured eight straight. At the end of the first
day six of the past G. A. H. winners had lost one or
more birds, they were: H. D. Bates, of Ridgetown,
Out.; O R. Dickey, of Boston; E. C. Griffith, of Pas-
coag, R. I.; E. D. 'Fulford, of Utica, N. Y.: T. W
Morfey, of Queens, L. L, N. Y., and Tom A. Marshall
of Keithsburg. 111. This will bring a new man out as
the possible winner. Among the other experts who
lost one or more birds in the principal race were M. O.
Feudner, Fred Gilbert, Jim Elliott, W. R. Crosby.
Among the clean scores on the first day were J. E.
Vaughn, now of Bakersfield, and S. It. Smith, of
Riverside, this State.

Three ladies, Miss Lillian Smith of this State, "Annie
Oakley" and Mrs. S. Johnson of Minneapolis, each
missed enough birds to put them out in the race for
the trophy. They may, however, easily be in the
money division. Twenty-six straight scores were en-
rolled at the close of the second day's shooting.

On the opening day of the meeting, in the Kansas
City sweepstakes at 12 birds, $7 entrance, 30 yards
rise, out of 369 entries, 36 shooters killed straight and
divided $2581. Among the winners was Harvey Mc-
Murchy. Otto Feudner and Phil B. Bekeart each lost
one bird, dead out, in this event. On the second day
of the shoot, in the Nitro Powder handicap, 16 birds,
$10 entrance, out of 419 entries 82 killed straight.
Otto Feudner was one of the winners, as was S. R.
Smith, of Riverside, and J. E. Vaughn, of Bakersfield.
McMurchy lost a bird dead out, so did Bekeart, whose
hard luck seemed to stay with him.

Sacramento sportsmen are now on the qui vive for
their annual snipe shooting. Will Smith and R. Helms
went afield last Saturday afternoon and bagged twen-
ty-two snipe. The birds are becoming fairly plentiful
in the swamps around the Union House, and will afford
good sport from now on.

The birds are now on tbe way to their northern
breeding grounds.

Saturday and Sunday were ideal shooting days.
Until late' Saturday evening the popping of guns was
almost continuous. The local marksmen held their
own with the visitors. The two highest scores were
made by Gus Knight, Jr., of Santa Barbara, and Louis
Breer of the Tufts-Lyons Arms company of Los An-
geles. Each broke 149 birds out of 175.

Syndicate Formed tor Trap Shooting in New-
Jersey.

New York wing shots and others interested in live
bird shooting which recently has been made unlawful
in New York State, have been in Trenton during the
past week negotiating with the Directors of the New
Jersey State Fair Association for a lease of the build-
ings and grounds of the association in the outskirts of
that city, upon which the Inter-State Fair has been
held for some years, and it has now been learned that
plans are being^made to establish the largest and most
complete shooting grounds in the country at the fair
grounds, and to make Trenton the headquarters of the
live-bird shooters, not only of New York and Phila-
delphia, but of tbe entire country.

movement, and a company to be called the Inter-State

had a rifle, he shot the boar through the head as it
stood looking at the man it had treed. The hunters
show the tu=ks to substantiate their story.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

ftlAnother Niola Daddy litter is attracting the atten-
tion of Fox Terrier fanciers. J. B. Martin's Golden
Sunshine recently whelped three dogs and a bitch
puppy— all nice looking ones and were getting on well
at last advices.

J. L. Cunningham will send his Great Dane bitch
.Tuanita to Montebello Kennel; to be served by the
crack harlequin Montebello Caesar. Mr. Cunningham
has been the foremost breeder of Great Danes on the
Coast for some years past and has won over forty blue
ribbons and a number of specials with dogs he has
bred and shown.

We are in receipt of a communication from Mr.
Charles L. Griffith, of Pleasanton, in which he notes
an opportunity for the purchase of a high class black
Field Spaniel. This dog, Wealdstone Monarch, was
whelped in August, 1900, and has already made a good
stud record. His bench record is good; he won first
novice and limit, Philadelphia, 1901; first limit and
National Challenge trophy for best bred American,
for best in the show, Providence, 1902; first limit and
reserve winners and challenge trophy with his dam,
New York, 1902. He defeated a class of twelve in the
New York show. Further particulars can be had by
addressing Mr. Griffith.

Onthesubject of "Field Spaniels, good and bad,"
"Moorman, "a well known kennel writer, expresses his
opinion that a good deal of the badness in the latter
type of Spaniels is due to the fact that too many of
tnem are broken and too few trained. ;'A Spaniel's
natural temperament," he says, "is so buoyant, its
tendency to riot so inherent, and its courage so gener-
ally pronounced, that in bringing it into trim for work
with the gun, the system of breaking in (to employ a
bad term for want of a better) should rather be the
leading of it into proper ways than the overcoming of
its natural sportive spirit. Many Spaniels possess ex-
tremely individual natures. Two of a litter, alike in
everythingelse, even sex, will show up exactly opposite
in the field, and therefore where two of a litter vary
so oppositely, how much more may various specimens
of a breed share in contrary peculiarities, and in that
more or less nervous temperament so rarely absent in
well bred sporting dogs. Thus it is that when the
young Spaniels are first entered, each individual dog
and bitch should be studied, and those tendencies
which are favorable to a well trained dog's chararter
be assiduously fostered and encouraged, whilst those
less in request be, as it were, assiduously trained out.
In the main it may be readily affirmed that more
Spaniels are spoilt by beating and rough handling
than by anything else. Amongst a certain class that
infamous old saw about a Spaniel, a wife and a walnut
tree, has had a good deal to do with the treatment
meted out to this breed of dogs. Beating has been
and is administered for trivial offenses and for sins of
omission. Spaniels are wonderfully spirited and cour-
ageous dogs, they will work to the last kick, aud then
because they tire and apparently shirk, it frequently
occurs thatchastisement or threats are their portion,
whereas a little rest or encouragement would prove
successful when the former failed in effect. It is so
usual, too, for the best dog to be worked almost to
death, the others being held in useless reserve, so that
when the superior one tires, as tire he must in a long
day's work, and the reserve is called up, the mere
spirit of emulation shows up, and the tired dog forgets
its weariness and dashes into covert again. There -is,
therefore, more to be done in this direction by school-
ing a dog by kindness, encouragement and incitement
than by use of whip or cuss words."

Care of Dogs.

A story came to us not long ago of a gentleman who
never had a case of distemper in his kennels but once.
The dog that had the disease was an eight-months old
puppy and the curious thing is this, that he had never
been beyond the grounds, not even into the road, for
a single moment from his birth. He had ranted and
played in a paddock, but he could not have kissed a
dog through the fencing, for there was first a wooden
fence, then a thick hedge, and next the road an iron
railing. Contagion, therefore, is out of the question.
The riddle is this: How did he;come by it, if it be true,
as some believe, that distemper is a contagious disease,
and- cannot possibly arise spontaneously? Well, it
may and it may not be. Anyhow, the disease is in-
fectious as well as contagious, and if a healthy puppy
about its teething time slept in the same room with
one suffering from distemper, it would doubtless be-
come infected, although the two could not get anyways
near to each other. This puppy may have inhaled the
breath of a dog in distemper even through two fences
and a hedge.

There is not the slightest doubt that flies and espec-
ially blue bottles, will carry the poison of contagious
diseases, perhaps even rabies itself, from kennel to
kennel. This is no reason why we have always rec-
ommended perfect cleanliness of dog dishes. It is a
good plan, if you can spare the time, to wait and see
the dogs finish their food; or make your hired man do
so, then remove the dishes at once to have them
washed up.

Cleanliness, fresh air, exercise, and scientific dis-
infecting will keep all kinds of dog diseases at bay. If
you are careless or overcrowd, or keep in cold, damp,
dark kennel, it is impossible your dogs can be strong
any more than grass grown in a cellar can be green.

A weakly dog or bad doer is a prey to all kinds of

vermin or microbes. He is plagued with fleas and lice
and parasitical skin complaints. If he has lice he is
bound soon to have tapeworm. This weakens him
still more, and being in a low condition be is just in a
fit state to imbibe the poison of infectious or contagious
ailments, or if exposed to cold heg falls a victim to
bronchitis, pleurisy, or inflammation of the lungs.

Quacks, stable loafers and some handlers all pre-
tend to cure distemper, and they make a bit out of it;
but they don't cure it. Besides they can't even diag-
uose it. They will call a common cold, distemper, and
thrust their brutal medicine down the poor beast's
throat, and when he gets well, in spite of their rule-of-
thumb cruelty, they crow over it.

Suppose one afternoon you find your dog moping
and ill and refusing his food, and you give him a
couple of pills', next day you find him well and hungry.
You naturally jump to the conclusion that your pills —
prescribed by some quack, perhaps — cured him, and
you register a vow never to be without those pills.
No scientific medical man would ad rait such reasoning.

Here is the truth. Your dog was ill and he had
pills, and next day was well, but —

The pills may have cured him.

The pills may have done neither good nor harm.
The recuperative powers of Nature may have set the
dog on his legs again.

Your pills may have actually done the dog harm,
and Nature cured him in spite of this.

It isn't policy, therefore, to put too much faith in
medicine for the cure of any complaint. Even in
ordinary ailments we must seek out the causes and try
to remove these, while at the same time we are com-
bating the distressing symptoms themselves.

But distemper is caused by a specific poison in the
blood. Call this disease germs if you like. They find
sustenance in the blood and vital organs, as it were,
and when they have used that up — at the expense and
great suffering of the animal patient — they die, and
the dog gets well. But the presence of these disease
germs give rise to the peculiar symptoms of distemper.
They attack at first the mucous membranes of the
nasal organs. The nose becomes dry and hot, the
eyes somewhat bloodshot, and water drops freely from
thenose. This subsequently becomespurulent. There is
loss of appetite, with perhaps a little shivering" and
jorking of the ears, which, by the way, in bad cases
may end in St. Vitus Dance, or a mild form of it. This
often continues for life. The dog has one limb that
trembles, or his neck jerks, and he can't keep it still.
In mild and well-cared for cases the trouble may not
last more than a week or two, but in every case — and
this is diagnostic — there is emaciation. In bad cases
the lungs may be attacked. We have to treat for
that. The liver may become affected; again our atten-
tion must be directed to that. Kidneys suffer also,
and sometimes the brain.

You must see then that distemper if neglected in its
early stage may become a very terrible complaint, and
its complications many, its sequel re, if the dog gets
well, quite distressing.

As we cannot cure the disease, it is a matter of
warmth and nursing with medicines such as mirdererus
spirit, sweet spirits of nitre, etc., to reduce the first
fever, if the temperature be high; but never give tar-
tar emetic, as the old timers used to do.

A dose of castor oil at the very beginning, with a
little laudanum in it, may do good. But no harsher
aperient must be given, for this might incite bowel in-
flammation, far too common a complication.

The warmest, driest bed possible should be allowed.
The dog may be almost buried in straw, but the ken-
nel door should be kept open yet a draught avoided.

You should take temperature from day to day, and
as long as it is over 100 degrees give nothing but good
milk and arrowroot. Cold water as much as the dog
chooses. Rest him all that is possible. Give green
grass, if he will take it. Keep everything around him
perfectly clean, and with a little sponge, dipped in
water reddened with permanganate of potash, wash
his eyes and nose three times a day. Keep the fore-
head wet with violet vinegar and water. When the
temperature becomes lowered, eggs may be given, with
beef tea and a little shedded raw meat. But continue
the arrowroot, or change to cornflour well boiled.

Cough is perhaps best treated with syrup of squills,
tincture of hyoscyamus, and spirits of sweet nitre.

Diarrhoea with the ordinary chalk mixture of the
shops, each dose containing a few drcps of laudanum.
When he regains his appetite, feed well, but not
roughly. A quinine mixture will now do good, and a
little port wine thrice daily. Extract of male will pull
him round more quickly than even codliver oil. Take
him out for exercise for several days on a leader, for
he must not run till he regains flesh. It would not be
a bad idea to send for Dr. Glover's book on dog dis-
eases, which upon application is mailed to any address
gratis.

Now, as to the more serious complications we shall
not say a word, because, on the whole, we do not be-
lieve any layman could treat them.

Train Your Own Dogs.

[En. F. Haberleix ]
To possess one or a brace of thoroughly trained bird
dogs is the ambition of every field sportsman. How
many of your acquaintances are the possessors of such
a brace? But few, very few indeed. A well trained
dog, endowed with the necessary natural qualities for
a first class field dog, commands a price — a sum which
cannot usually be expended by the average sportsman.
Many are the disappointments, also, of more pecunious
fellow sportsmen who expend large sums for so-called
broken dogs in the expectation of obtaining an excep-
tionally fine worker — which such dogs, probably,
really are when handled by their trainer, who, through
constant association during course of training, became
acquainted with the dog V peculiarities and capabilities,
and is, therefore, able to enforce implicit obedience

and to obtain work of the highest order such dogs are
capable of.

The new owner, though, must, in consequence of an
abruot change of handlers, encounter obstacles usually
not anticipated. It must be borne in mind that no tw
dogs perform alike, nor do any two men handle gut,
and dog and conduct themselves alike in the field, and
the more contrary dog and master happen to be, the
greater the confusion — usually to the detriment of the
dog. A dog and its trainer become accustomed to
each other's peculiarities through association, and
work in harmony conducive to pleasure for both. If
the sportsman purchases a puppy and sends it to a
trainer to be fitted for field shooting, selects a trainer
of repute and agrees to pay a reasonable sum for such
service, the chances are that upon having the precious
young dog returned, it will be found just as stated
above — unaccustomed to the new handler, hence unfit
for work actually capable of when handled by its
trainer.

The time is past when one who undertakes to train
a dogis contemptuously looked down upon. Moreover,
the antiquated methods of so-called dog breaking of
years ago are no longer in vogne. In these good old
days it was deemed necessary to starve and brutally
beat a helpless puppy till nearly dead and scared out
of its wits, supposing that a libaral quota of lashing
were a requisite to inculcate accomplishments, and the
more the lasi were used the quicker advancement
would be made. We older chaps look back with
horror to the time when we sat upon slab benches iu
the old log hut called the school houso, while the
would-be "teacher" stood over us-with a hickory with
which he ardently enoeavored to inculcate an "educa-
tion." At the present time our children betake them-
selves to school with a characteristic buoyancy — antic-
ipating pleasure in the pursuit of their studies under
guidance of efficient tutors. The dog is a sensible
animal and possessed of reasoning powers. If treated
fairly and kindly, ho will be delighted in obeying your
orders.

The prevailing supposition that all that is required
to become the owner of a really fine field dog is to
purchase a puppy of some noted strain of bird dogs,
which, after it has attained the proper age, can be
taken afield and worked in a satisfactory manner on
game, without having first been given any schooling,
is a delusion. A dog inherits natural qualities, such as
nose, speed, range, staunchness, etc., but not a particle
of the desirable accomplishments of his progenitors,
acquired by judicious training, is inherited; they must
be taught to each individual dog in one or another
manner. To-day that is done by neither treating the
dog brutally nor in a manner calculated to be vexing
to the trainer; instead, it is conduciveof pleasure both
to trainer and pupil in progressing step by step in
systematic manner. True, training is an art, which
also requires inclination, judgment, controllable tem-
per and love for the dog, but, instead of the task
training a dog is usually supposed to be, it leads to
unforeseen pleasures and a satisfaction which can be
obtained in no other way than by training your own
dog.

A number of those who read these lines will sigh and
think: "Ob, that's all very well, but I'm getting along
in years and couldn't bother with a dog." There may
be a growing predilection for complacency and the
agreeabie companionship of acquiescently-idle chums
and the least amount of physical exertion compatible
with the routine of business; but, you have a hobby —
field shooting, and your forehead is wrinkling in per-
plexity because you have no dog — the last one pur-
chased proving a failure similar to predecessors, and
you are dubious as regards others offered. Your
friend, though, with whom last you were out, is the
possessor of just such an animal as would be your de-
light, and, too, he trained that dog himself. Why,
then, not do likewise? There are really but few men
who would actually not have the time necessary for
fitting his own dog for field work. Half an hour per
day devoted to the puppy for a time, and that, too, at
home, would suffice. By conducting the work system-
atically and in a common-sense way, patience will be
supplied the amateur trainer by the pleasured derived
as the pupil progresses step by step to the admiration
of his master.

Supposing you had obtained a puppy, as best suits
your fancy, of some approved strain ol bird dogs, pro-
cured an up-to-date treatise on training, the same as
your friend had, which imparts detailed instruction in
clear, concisn and comprehensive form, and followed
its systematic teachings, you will sally forth, accompa-
nied by your amiable pupil, with anticipation of pleas-
ure such as only the proud possessor of an efficient,
obedient dog can enjoy and fully appreciate. You
know "Sport," by your own efforts, has become im-
plicitly obedient to the slightest commands — a mere
snap of the finger suffices to order him on and gleefully
he bounds away in search of game; by a simple wave
of the hand he is guided in the course desired; as he
strikes scent and warms up to his work ^ our blood
tingles joyously: with head erect "Sport" stands at
point, with quivering nose,, rigid, in an inspiring atti-
tude; you know he is true to point and will not frus-
trate your chance for a kill: a warningshout "steady —
steady!" is unnecessary, hence you approach calmly
but in rapt and sanguine expectancy; passing a few
paces ahead of "Sport" you flush the birds and dex-
terously the little hammerless is manipulated— pijl'!
paff! — a double is scored. "Sport, " though now re-
laxed, stands unmoved and eagerly awaits your signal
by hand to "fetch." Tenderly, ooe by one, be brings
the birds, sits upon his haunches before you and
awaits the lowering of your hand whereou to place
thegame, whisking merrily as an expression of joy.
A complacent smile perches upon your countenance,
and, after gently (patting "Sport" upon the head as
reward for good behavior, the hunt proceeds.

Aye, by all means, train your own dogs, advocates
the author of "The Amateur Trainer."

A Lively Fight With a Montana Grizzly.

The Hon. J. H. Harris, famous in Montana as a
cattle king, hunter and raconteur, has had perhaps as
many thrilling and hair-breadth escapes as any one in
the west. Here is the story of an experience that he
had in the early days in the High wood mountaiu, as
Mr. Harris himself tells it:

"It was in the fall of 1875, when Johnny Carruthers,
a young fellow named Shaw and myself were hunting
deer and elk for their skins. We got a dollar for a
deerskin and about $5 for an elk hide. Besides being
royal sport there was just enough danger from the
Indians in it to add zest, and then we made good wages".

**We were camped on McDonald's creek, where
Murray's ranch is now, and early one afternoon I
started out toward the mountain on horseback. I
approached a canon in the mountains having very
steep sides, whose mouth opened upon a wide, marshy
flat covered with willow clumps. As I drew near the
mouth of the canon I saw a huge grizzly rooting upon
the mountainside. He was so busy turning over the
flat rocks with his nose to And bugs and tender roots
that he did not notice my approach. I dismounted
behind a bunch of willows and tied my horse with a
(iO-foot saddle rope in order that she would have a
chance to eat a little grass duriDg my absence.

"Taking my rifle, I then advanced until I was
directly upon the bear. I was in the bottom of the
canon, and knelt down and fired at his heart. The
bear dropped flat, and then commenced rolling toward
me down the mountainside. Every foot increased the
velocity with which he came tearing down toward the
rocks. As he was coming directly toward me, I
stepped up on the opposite slope a few feet to avoid
being crushed." He landed in the bottom of the ravine
in a confused heap, and before I had time to think he
rose up on his hind feet directly in front of me, and,
snarling and growling, he raised his huge forearms
straight in the air and glared at me. My fright was
such that I swung my gun arouna and fired without
aim. In fact, the bullnt went so wide of his head that
it broke his wrist, which was at least a foot away.
Immediately he sprang at me, growling horribly.

"My feet were incased in moccasins, and I was able
in those days to run like a white-tailed deer. , I had to
run seventy-five yards down the side of the canon to
its mouth, and every leap the bear made he slid almost
to my feet. When, however, we reached the flat, he
being handicapped by his broken foot, I easily outdis-
tanced him. I think that in the 150 yards across the
marsh I beat him at least twenty-five.

"Startled by the two shots and by the growls and
running of the bear, my horse had come toward me as
far as her rope would allow. I don't know how I
reached the saddle, but I think I leaped up into the
air and came down astride.

"Forgetting that the horse was tethered to the
willow tree by a 60-foot rope, I urged her to her lull
speed. Almost at once she was well under headway,
and by the time she had run the 120 feet she was run-
ning like t e wind. Of course, when she came to the

end of the rope she turned a complete circle in the air,
and I was thrown at least forty feet. My gun went one
way and I another.

"The grass was long, perhaps two feet high, and I
had only to crawl a few feet to get over a little washed-
out basin. Here I knelt, and, catching my breath,
watched the bear. When I looked at him he was
standing on his hind feet watching the mare. He was
evidently puzzled at the new turn of events. He did
not understand that performance. Almost as soon as
the mare got to her feet she bolted between the bear
and the willow clump, and as she passed the bear he
made a lunge at her with both fore feet, but owing to
his broken wrist he was only able to reach her with
one claw, and with this he pulled out a great hunk of
hair from her tail. She kicked him fair in the chest
with both feet, and again ran to the end of her tether.
The bear made for her again, and as she passed him
he scratched her badly on the hip.

"The wound by this time was evidently telling on
him, for he rose to his hind feet, looked around in the
most puzzled way as though something bad been lost,
and then started to limp on all fours to the mountain
side and disappeared in a clump of pine."

The Caddis and Gammarus as Fish Food.

It is from the <;caddis" or "case" bait that such old
favorites as the cinnamon, tbe caperer, alder, sedge,
etc., rites come, and the caddis is a remarkably inter-
esting creature, let me say, and one worth careful
observation. On the vivification of the ova, the little
creature proceeds to build itself a habitation, which it
does from materials lying immediately around it, such
as pieces of stick, leaves, gravel, straw, wood, etc., and
all this is cemented tightly together and held in its
place by a natural silk gum secreted by the creature,
which hardens immediately. From the ungainly and
deliberate movements of the caddis this is a matter of
time, but when finished the whole somewhst resembles
a black-headed little Indian papoose bound up in its
inflexible cradle of wicket work. The caddis attaches
itself very powerfully to tbe inner end of the case by
means of two very strong hook?, and it requires some
exertion to pull it out. Just previous to the emergence
of the fly we find that the entrance to this i ase is her-
metically sealed, or at any rate, it is waterproof.
Whether the caddis previously takes up a certain
amount of air which, as it slowly assumes a fly form,
becomes greater until sufficient to carry it to the sur-
face, I do not know; but certain it is the caddis always
is seen to rise spontaneously, and this is the usual
method with the alder fly.

The appetite of the caddis is enormous It devours
both vegetable and decayed animal debris. 1 took out
the shell of a broad bean which had been thrown in
the water one morning, and it was filled with caddis
and gammari. All fish, without distinction, seem fond
of caddis. A "grubbing" trout will consume dozens,
shells and all, in the course of the day, but I notice
that tbe "caddies" are generally the larva? of the cin-
namon and alder flies.

Ten years ago I do not suppose a dozen people used
the little freshwater shrimp (Ptifez Qammarus) as a
hook bait. Truth to tell very few do It is a

favorite bait with mo, however, especially for perch or

trout. When you can find trout gorged — as I have
done repeatedly in early season — with these lively little
fellows, I think it is but a rational deduction that, if
properly used, they would make good hook baits.
Having verified this, I can say that the largest only
should be used, and two may be impaled on a small-
sized hook — the size of the bait will regulate this— and
the tackle used ought to be of the finest. I ordinarily
employ my fly-rod and the finest drawn gut, throwing
the little gentleman as a fly, or perhaps more like a
worm with Stewart's worm tackle, always up stream.
From alittlestream in Hertforshire I took twenty-two
fish in one afternoon two" years ago with this identical
bait, when they would not make the ghost of a move-
ment toward a fly.

Of course, everybody knows this little creature, and
how like the ordinary Bulcx irrttansit is in shape. Its
voracity is also, perhaps, equal to its relative, though
it is not given so much to actually blood-sucking. I
have placed a few large ones before now in a clean
tumbler of water, and watch how they circle round
and round in the effort to discover the limits of their
confinement — for, being denizens of running water,
tbey are impatient of stagnant, which impatience, in-
deed, seems to render them cannibalistic. Still, they
may be kept a long time in a globe or aquarium, as 1
have experienced, providing a fair supply of fresh raw
meat or fish, with an occasional green bean husk, be
given them. In a fish breeding bed I would counsel
their extinction, for they are enemies to all young fish
life The best way to catch the fresh water shrimp
is to place a gauze net in th stream, and lif j the stones
and gravel with a rake a little distance above. In
some streams, especially those flowing over a gault
formation where insect life is not plentiful, I should
unnesita*ingly recommend the introduction of both
caddis and the "shrimp." Som^ ten years ago I
stocked a newly made pond on a gentleman's estate in
Sussex with these insects and roach, and carp, dace,
chub, etc., and I hear they all did and are doing roar-
velously well. There can bono doubt that the coloniza-
tion of fish food is almost of as great importance as
that of fish.

Another little crustacean of almost equal value as
food for fishes is the so-called water woodlouse [AseQus
aquaticus). Its form is, as its name implies, very much
like the crustacean of the land or slater woodlouse,
but its movements are very slow and its habits dirty
in the extreme. If there is any vegetable or animal
refuse at the bottom of the water the waterlouse is
sure to be in it, clogging up its fourteen legs with mud
and filth until the really wonderful organs of its breath-
ing, etc., are unrecognizable. Eels consume large
quantities of these creatures, and until I found out
under the microscope I was for a long time undecided
as to what the accumulation of excrement I occasion-
ally found in eels could possibly be the remains of —
John Harrington Keene*ii] Gametaiid.

Irish Americrn Bacon Making.

Irish bacon and hams have such a repu-
tation in England thr.t the product of no
other country, with the possible exception
of Denmark, can compete with it. Its
excellence is, of course, attributed, in a.
great measure, to the breed of hogs and
the methols and materials used in feed-
ing, but the manner of curing it has also
a great deal to do with it. The bacon as
made in the Green Isle s milder and dees
not have that extremely salty taste which
is characteristic of most pork packed in
America. But as it is consumed shortly
after it has come from the smokehouse, it
can be cured with a milder taste than it
is possible for our farmers and packers to
cure it, for the latter may not be put on
the table for a year or more after it is
made, and as a consequence must have
more talt in the pickle. An Irish friend,
who was employed by a farmer who made
the production of fine bacon and hams for
the London market a specialty for several
years, alleges that a great portion of the
famous Irish bacon was made from pork
from the United States, Canada and other
countries. According to his statement,
the pork was shipped to dealers in the
larger cities in a mild pickle. These deal-
ers had their customers among the bacon
producing farmers, who would buy it and
cure it according to their own process and
ship it to England as prime Irish bacon.
The usual process employed in preparing
bacon in Ireland is to take five ounces of
sugar, four ounces of refined saltpetre and
eight pounds of Bait to every 100 poundB
of pork and dissolve it in water, making a
brine that will float an egg. To this brine
add one ounce of cayenne pepper. Place
the meat in the cask and pour the solution
over it. If the bacon is intended for im-
mediate consumption it is taken out of
the brine at the end of three weeks and
smoked. If to be kept any length of time
it is allowed to remain in the pickle sis
weeks before being smoked.

Here's a Sheep Record.

James Buckingham, of Oronogo, Jasper
county, Mo., has estauiislieJ a record in
sheep breeding that will set all competi-
tors a lively pace to merely approach, let
alone equal. Mr. Buckingham had a
bunch of lambs on the market Friday that
sold for $6 25, the highest price in a year
or more The lambs were all Shropshire
and well bred. Last spring Mr. Bucking
ham s forty-three ewes dropped a total of
eighty-five lambs In this bunch there
were seven sets of triplets, twenty-eight i
of twins and eight singles. Mr. liucking |
ham lost six bead by death and killed two I
f This own personal use. This left seventy-
seven head, which he marketed Friday. '
They averaged 103 pounds Not only were
these lambs remarkable as coming from
prolific ewrp. but they also made a feed ng
rvcord for themselves. When sold here
thev were as fat as butter, yet the whole
hunch nf seventy-seven head had not cori-
Hiitned more than twenty bushels of corn
since their birth Mr. Buckingham allowed
I hem tn run n the fall on wheat and uther
pasture and gave them twenty bushels o
<*'>rn to put them in marketable condi
tion. — Kansas City Drovi ra' Telegram.

great sireof broodmares. Com. Belmont 4540, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2:18g.
Barona his second dam. is by Woodrord's Mambrino 2:21 >£, and his third dam. Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25. sire of Lula 2:15: fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thnroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest. and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at: he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th. a half in 1:15, first Quarter in 0c4
eighth in 17 seconds, so you" see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than
any co't I ever saw and doit easier Walter S. Maben."

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Mabem to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself np without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep him down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colt-* m'M be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top, and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1932.

interference in any way with a successful outcome of
each and all. The fairs of the southern counties are
never attended by people from the northern districts
outside a few horse owners, and there are horses
enough to fill the prog-rams of several meetings held
at the same time, provided the places where the meet-
ings are held are widely apart. Twelve or fifteen
years ago the Northern Circuit and Southern Circuit
were held during- the same months and horse owners
and others were greatly benefited. The crowds that
patronize the smaller district fairs are almost entirely
local and this organization of local circuits will create
interest arouse local pride and be beneficial all around.
We suggest to the Southern Coast Circuit Secretaries
that they get together as soon as possible and announce
purses. It will encourage more owners to train horses
and lead to larger entry lists if the official announce-
ments are made early. Success to the Southern Coast
Circuit and its promoters and patrons.

THE SOUTHERN" COAST CIRCUIT, an idea that
has emanated from the fertile brain of Secretary
Merry of the Hueneme district association, will in all
probability be a reality before long, and official an-
nouncement of the same, with purses and dates, made
through the columns of the Breeder and Sports-
man. Nothing has been done by any district secre-
tary in California this year that will help the districts
in the proposed circuit as much as this action of Secre-
tary Merry. The proposition is to form the districts
of Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monte-
rey and San Benito counties into a circuit to be known
as the Southern Coast Circuit, to agree together upon
dates, purses, etc, and to join together in advertising
the same. It is the same plan that is so successfully
followed in the East, and cannot help but be a great
success here. The attempts heretofore made to
arrange a circuit for the entire State, thus placing the
smaller districts on the same footing with the larger
ones, and trying the impossible feat of arranging dates
to suit everybody, have failed and always will because
of so many diversified interests and conditions. There
can be two or three or more of the smaller circuits
held at the same time in California each year without

IT ONLY COSTS $15 to carry a nomination in the
* Terre Haute Matron $10,000 stake from the date of
entry until the foal is three years old, and you will not
have to tie a lot of strings on your fingers to remind
you of the dates of payment. It costs five dollars to
nominate the mare and ten more when the foal is
named and described. This is the entire sum until the
year of the race. If you wish to race the colt as a
two year old there is a small additional fee required to
make him eligible to start, but if not, he can go till
three years old without costing a cent for additional
payments. It will increase the selling price of colts to
have them staked, no matter whether they are sold as
yearlings or as two or three year olds; and we take
this occasion to remind horsemen that the Terre
Haute $10,000 Matron closes on Monday nest, April
14th. Send the name of your mare, and the horse she
was bred to this year, to Secretary Chas. R. Duffin,
Terre Haute, lnd., enclosing a postal order for $5 and
you will be in line to win the big stake.

A SPLENDID SALES MART is the new quarters
•<* of Mr. William G. Layng's Occidental Horse Ex-
change at 246 Third street in this city. By leasing the
Fulton Stables at that location, Mr. Layng has secured
a new and commodious entrance to his former premises
which were reached only through a narrow entrance
on Tehama street. The premises are now in the shape
of an L and Mr. Layng will conduct a boarding stable
in connection with his auction and sales business. He
has room for 200 horses, many elegant box stalls, a fine
tan bark ring and large enclosure where horses can be
exercised. He will make the keeping for sale of fine
trotters and business horses a feature of this new ven-
ture, and the central location will make the boarding
department very popular. The appointments of the
sale ring and the accommodations for spectators are
being greatly improved and will doubtless be appre-
ciated by the public.

MONTANA'S BIG RUNNING MEETINGS will be
held at Butte and Anaconda this year, beginning
June 21st. There will be 62 dayi racing and no purse
less than $250, to which entrance will be free. Twelve
rich stakes ranging in value from $800 to $1500 are
advertised to close with Lou Frank, Secretary, at
Butte, on Tuesday next, April loth. The particulars
and conditions will be found in our business columns
to-day. This is the last call and owners who intend
racing in Montana should not forget the date of closing

MINNESOTA'S Great Western Circuit Meetings
*'l will be three in number. The first is at the
Minnehaha track and under the auspices of the Min-
neapolis Driving Club. It opens July 1st, lasts four
days and is followed by the meeting of the St. Paul
Driving Club at Hamline track, which has the dates
July Sth to 11th. The horses will race through other
States and return to Hamline for the Minnesota State
Fair in September. There are $1000 and $1500 purses
galore at the July meetings and a feature of the fall
meeting is the $5000 trotting purse for horses of the
2:21 class. The full program of these meetings appears
in our advertising pages to-day. There are purses to
the amount of $46,200 hung up at these two tracks.
Entries to the July meetings close June 16th and to
the fall meeting July 1st.

D( >N'T FORGET that the entries for harness events
at the big Thunder Mountain race meeting at
Boise, Idaho, this year, close April loth, Tuesday next.
The North Pacific Ch'cuit will furnish twelve weeks of
racing, closing at Boise October 25th. If you are not
a winner by that time it is only a short trip over to
the famous Thunder Mountain mines, where big
Btrikes are being made, and where you may be able to
dig out enojgh money to buy the best horses in the
country.

ENTRIES CLOSETUESDAV NEXT forfourstakes
to be trotted and paced at the Oregon State Fair
in September. The Greater Salem Stake of $2000 for
2:18 class pacers is the leading feature, and the Capital
City Stake of $1000 for 2:24 trotters is the next In im-
portance. There are two stakes of .$500 each, one for
the three year old trotters, the other for three year
old pacers. Read the conditions and make your
entries. The Greater Salem Stake is the only big
stake thus far advertised on the Pacific Coast for this
year.

GLENS FALLS Grand Circuit meetiog advertises
in our columns sixteen $1000 purses for a four
days' meeting. Entries for ten of these purses will
close May 1st, and for the other six August 1st. Read
the conditions and send in your entries to Secretary
W. F. Bentley in time.

A BIG AUCTION SALE of forty or fifty head Of
**■ trotting, road and u raft stock from Mr. Henry
Pierce's Verba Buena Stock Farm, in Santa Clara
county, will be held at the Occidental Horse Exchange
in this city about the the middle of next month. At
the same time a consignment of fifteen head of high
class trotters and broodmares from the celebrated
Santa Rosa Stock Farm will be sold. These horses
are all good individually and otherwise and among the
trotting bred ones are some grandly bred mares and
geldings with speed of a high order. Full particulars
will be announced soon and catalogues issued giving
descriptions and pedigrees.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE, at its session next
winter, could not do a better thing than pass a
stringent law making the selliog of pools or making
books on races unlawful except within the enclosures
of places where the races are run. This would put a
stop to the schemes of establishing poolrooms at places
like Sausalito and Colma, which are a great detriment
to any community and do much to bring racing into
disrepute.

SEATTLE'S RUNNING STAKES, reur in number,
are attractive features of the racing program to
be given by the Kings County Fair Association, of
which Mr. A. T. Van De Vanter is secretary and
manager. Entries to the Seattle Derby, $1000, and
the Ladies Plate, $600, close May 1st. Entries to the
Kings County Selling Stake and the Fair Association
Handicap. $600 each, close August 1st. Full particulars
and conditions will be found in our advertisingcolumns.

GOOD TIMES are here for horse breeders, and good
horses bring good money. Mr. J. Malcolm
Forbes recently sold two yearlings by Bingen 2:06}
one for $1500, the other for $2000. When untried
yearlings, which are an unknown quantity no matter
how richly bred, sell for such figures, the good old
times are certainly with us again. Let all strive to
keep them here by breeding to the best stallions that
are standing for public service.

A First Class Training Track.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — Your paper
is a guardian, guide and mentor for horsemen and
therefor anything for the benefit of horses and owners
will surelj be welcome to your columns.

There is much in the choice of tracks in the training
and fitting of horses for a campaign of racing. A good
safe track means good feet, sound legs and lung devel-
opment to carry a horse to the end of every mile in a
many heat race. If the track is springy and elastic a
horse can be worked at a high rate of speed with safety
to his feet and legs, which can't be done on a hard,
inelastic track. Half the horses which fall by the
wayside and are retired from their preparatory worK
are the victims ot hard and unyielding footing. There
are a large number of horses training around San
Francisco bay, some on fairly good tracks but more on
footing which is unsafe for a high rate of speed.
Many of the latter go wrong, to the loss and disgust of
otherwise good patrons of speedways and racing.

Alameda has a mile track, as you so well know, that
is built of the finest sedimentary silt, which possesses
to a remarkable degree firmness and elasticity. It is
the unanimous verdict of horsemen of the East and
Pacific Coast that there is no other track in America
which combines the possibility of su^h high speed
development with absolute safety to legs and feet. In
connection there are miles upon miles of firm road and
street drives, which relieves the poor horses from the
monotony and drilling of the daily round and round of
the track.

Within easy reach there are roads of hill and dale,
which give muscle and lung work, so necessary to the
future racer. Near the track there are numbers of
stableswith commodious box stalls. Feed and bedding
are cheap, and men can be boarded at reasonable rates.
The track is only 30 minuten from the foot of Markt-t
street, giving city horsemen the privilege of seeing their
horses frequently with little loss of time from business.

Of all the horses trained on the Alameda track for
the past half dozen years not one can be recalled that
has broken down in work. Monterey 2:01*'. took his
work here and showed a mile in 2:08}. Much Better
2:07} was fitted and developed on this tra«-k. Plm-br
Childers 2:10J was never so good in traiuing as here.
She was trained here and trotted to her record in her
first race and returned here and worked a month,
showing a mile in 2:07, which she was never called
upon to show in her races afterward. Sir Albert S.
2;08iJ, the unbeaten, is a product of the Alameda track,
which was never so good as this year. It is fast, safo
and handy. H. L.

[April 12, 1802

D ESTER PRINCE was foaled at the once celebrated
Stony Ford in New York State twenty-three
years ago, but so lightly have those years rested on
him that on seeing the handsome stallion in his pad-
dock to-day at Mr. A. B. Spreekels' beautiful Aptos
Farm one would not guess his age at more than half its
actual sum. I saw him last Saturday for the Erst
time, and while I had expected to see a "good looker''
the grand proportions of the son of Kentucky Prince
were a revelation. Dignified and docile, with a head
that expresses great intelligence, and a form that de-
notes power and endurance in every line, he is about
as near the ideal sire as one would expect to see at the
head of a stock farm that is breeding for the market
He is a large horse with good bone and powerful
muscles, and a strODg back that shows no signs of
swaying with the weight of years. His dark bay coat
looks bright and healthy and his well rounded body
gives evidence of good digestion. Allowing for the
"toning down" that age invariably brings, one would
select him on his looks as a sire of quiet, perhaps slug-
gish horses, instead of the upheaded, fast and nervy
kind that so many trainers find difficult to handle.
An inspection of the young horses by him at Aptos
has convinced me that the brain of the trainer rather
than the brair of the horse has been the cause of much
bad acting of the Dexter Princes. They are a nervy,
high strung lot and no mistake, but kind treatment
and good sense in their management makes them great
race horses, as they are not only fast, but game as the
proverbial pebble and have the endurance of the four-
mile thoroughbred, while there is a larger proportion
of good sized, good boned, handsome trotters among
them than has been produced by any sire in California
to my knowledge. The consignments sent East in
recent years from the world renowned Palo Alto Farm
have been remarkable for their size and good looks
and the Dexter Princes have been prominent in these
annual shipments to the Eastern salesrings. This
year the Aptos Farm will make its first direct ship-
ment and of the 24 head consigned to the Blue Ribbon
sale at Cleveland all will be by Dexter Prince and
Cupid, a son of Sidney that is acquiring a great repu-
tation as a sire of speed.

Just three months ago "Sandy" Smith, known from
Maine to California wherever there is a salesring or a
trotting track, went to Aptos to get these horses ready
for the sale. Some of them were unbroken, many had
been running out for two years, while a few had been
worked a little a year previous. They were all sound
and in good flesh, however, as all the stock at Aptos
Farm invariably is, and Sandy pulled off his coat and
went at them.

"Get them gentle, keep them sound, brush them
enough to teach them a little speed, and get them to
Cleveland in good shape for the buyers to begin train-
ing if they so desire," were the instructions given
Sandy and he is following it out to the letter. He has
given them road work until they are now pleasant
drivers and not afraid of any of the usual sights, in-
cluding steam cars. He brushes them eighths and
quarters on the half-mile track at the farm, and has
found that many of them have racing speed. No
bandages are used on their legs, and there is not a
wind puff or a pimple to be seen. No side poles, heavy
toe weights, hopples or any such appliances are used,
but each and every horse is being trained to go natur-
ally and easily at the gait that best suits it. He has
twenty-two trotters and two pacers in the string and
both the pacers are great prospects. There are at
least a half dozen trotters that show speed of Grand
Circuit quality already, and a couple that will be 2:10
performers this year with ordinary luck. This is not
boasting but a conservative statement.

There is a five year old chestnut mare by Dexter
Prince out of Point Lace that is a handsome individual
and a very fast natural trotter. She is large and
rangy with the pretty head and neck one sees on a
thoroughbred. She was broken and worked some as
a three year old but has been running out foi a year
or so and has grown into a big fiDe mare. I saw
Sandy hitch her to a high wheel Fraser cart last
Saturday and after jogging a couple of miles, brush
her an eighth of a mile in 16 seconds without company,
or whip or anything else to urge her except a "hike"
as he passed the little crowd at the wire. Here is a
mare that is worth $5000 according to the way trotters
are selling over East at the present time. She is a
square line trotter, needs no hoots or weights, per-
fectly level headed and gentle and a 2:10 trotter as sure
as she lives. What a road mare she would make, and
a race mare too, as she has the best legs and feet I
ever saw and will go five heats or more if necessary.
Her dam, Point Lace, is by Antevolo 2:19}, a member
of that great Electioneer-Columbine family, her second

dam Martha by Speculation was an own sister to that
game race horse Crown Point 2:17J, and her third dam
by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. This mare trotted her eighth
in 16 seconds so easily that I am certain Sandy will be
able to show a quarter with her in 32 seconds at
Cleveland next month, and if she could be worked
another month a mile in 2:15 would be within her
reach there.

A six year old full brother to this mare is a very
handsome black and is fast, as an eighth in 17 seconds
handily done gives evidence of. He is clean gaited,
and a high headed, handsome fellow, and while gentle
and good mannered is only just learning what speed
means, as he has never been worked with that end in
view until consigned to this sale.

A full brother to the fast mare Czarina 2:13} is much
larger and heavier than she and is a bold going, strong
trotter that will attract much attention when he
reaches Cleveland and is shown at the track. He will
take a faster record than his sister, as he has a more
level head. He has shown an eighth in 16 seconds
already and did it so easily that the boys at the Aptos
ranch are very sweet on him and are predicting great
things for his future.

If some trainer that understands his business gets
hold of the five year old filly by Dexter Prince out of
Lilly S., the dam of Venus 2:11], he will have a trotter
that few can head on the race track or speedway.
She is a handsome thing, bay with black points, and
one of the sweetest gaited mares I have seen for a
long time She i= high strung, full of gimp and one
of the anxious kind, that wants to trot and c«» trot
very fast, but is a little touchy and could be eas'ly
spoiled. Sandy is as quiet with her as a mother with
a sleeping sick baby and talks to her like a lovesick
widower to a sixteen year old girl. He drove her three
miles that morning and though jhe mud caused by a
light rain struck her often, he managed to keep her
on her feet while she brushed an eighth in eighteen
seconds. She has as much style as a show ring
hackney.

A big black gelding by Dexter Prince out of Satella
by Aptos Wilkes stepped through the stretch of the
track in eighteen seconds and surprised us all, as he is
such a big fellow. He is muscled on the cart horse
plan, and could pull a surrey without distressing him
any. As he is a very quiet and gentlemanly gelding,
his burst of speed made us all open our eyes when
Sandy turned him loose.

When he came out with a big black pacing mare by
Dexter Prince out of Emma S., the dam of Psyche
2:16}, there was a look on Sandy's face that said,
"Here's something extra good," and when he began
moving her up there was no doubt of it. "I'll drive
her a quarter in 30 seconds when I get to Cleveland,"
said he, and I think he will keep his word. This mare
is seven years old and a handsome, powerful animal.
She was so growthy when young that Mr. Spreekels
would not . ave her worked, and she has run out most
of the time until this year. She does not wear a boot
and has such a clean open gait that she will never Leed
them. No better gaited one ever struck a track. An
eighth in 16 seconds seemed play for her. She has a
good level head and does not pull a pound. She'll do
for the races this year.

The only other pacer in the whole bunch is a chest-
nut four year old by Cupid 2:18 out of GracieS. 2:22, the
dam of Dione 2:07}. She was broken as a two year old
and then turned out to enjoy herself in the Aptos pas-
tures for two years. Sandy got her up last January
and no one ever saw a green mare swing off into a more
natural pace than she showed the first time he took
her to the track. She don't know what trotting
means and it is hard for her to even walk al the diag-
onal gait. She wears no boots, and never makes a
break. A quarter in 35 seconds can be shown by her
already. She'll do for a race mare and will get a low
record.

1 was rather unlucky in the choice of a day to visit
Aptos as a drizzling rain fell in the forenoon, making
the track heavy and much fast brushing out of the
question. I only saw seven or eight horses speeded,
and while Sandy may have shown me the best he had
in the shop in the way of speed, he assured me that
there were many in the stalls that were just as fast.
I made a tour of the stalls and can truthfully say that
a handsomer lot of horses were never stabled on one
farm. They are all clean limbed and in good order
and will make a sensation at the sale if they meet with
no accident going over and manage to escape disease
and other ailments. Sandy is pardonably proud of
them all, and well may he be, as there is not a sick or
an ailing one in the entire lot.

each year, although there was plenty of good first
class material to work on. It is true that the young
trotters have been taken up and broken each year and
given some work on the pretty half-mile track at the-
farm, but they have usually been relegated to the :'oad
or sold at private sale to parties who did not care to
race them. Every once in a while however there are
trotters that show such speed that Mr. Spreekels has
had them raced, and they invariably get low records.
Hulda 2:081, Dione 2:07], Venus II. 2:11], Czarina 2:133,
Psyche 2:16] and others are among those of the Aptos
representatives that have won fame for the beautiful
farm on Monterey bay. In this consignment to be
sent to Cleveland there will be more than one future
2:10 performer and it will be perfectly safe to predict
several additions to the 2:15 lists of Dexter Prince and
Cupid will develop from among the tweniy-four head.
I never saw as great a pioportion of good looks and
speed in one string in any of my tours of inspection
in California. While it is as certain as fate that were
these horses owned by some of the big Eastern farms
there would be touting blasts blowing from every
quarter of the compass where a turf scribe was located,
I fully believe that Mr. Spreekels has the right idea
when he says that he wants every buyer to feel when
he begins to work those purchased from Aptos, that
. he has a betterand a faster horse than was represented
by the auctioneers. He desires every animal sold to
be in perfect health, sound as a dollar, and in the best
possible shape on the day of the sale, 60 that they will
be ready to begin workiug for the track or the speed-
way the following day, and be able with proper hand-
ling to improve rapidly and continuously. Buyers
who get such horses will be anxious to get more of the
same kind the following year, and the reputation of
Aptos Farm will not be injured.

While the Aptos Stock Farm has a very high class
lot of mares and has bred them to Dexter Prince and
Cupid, it has never sent out each year a regular cam-
paigning stable. Mr. Spreekels has so many interests
to look after that he has not found the time to employ
a regular trainer to get a 6tring ready for the races

The broodmares on the Aptos farm are a splendid
lot of matrons. Quite a number are descendants of
the old mare Jenny by Bull Pup, the dam of Hulda
2:08i, Grade S. 2:22 and Gus Spreekels 2:30. Grade S.
died last year. She is the dam of Dione 2:07]. Her
full sister, Emma S., is the dam of Psyche 2:16}, and
another full sister, Lilly S., is the dam of Venus II. j
2:11]. Thise mares are all by Speculation 928. A list
of the broodmares whose produce are consigned to the
Cleveland sale are as follows:

Satella by Aptos Wilkes (full brother to Hulda 2:08J),
dam Asheat's Daughter by Speculation.

Lurline Wilkes by Guy Wilkes 2:15], dam Asheat's
Daughter.

Neonta by Steinway, dam Caroline by Yosemite 49065

Lilly S. (dam of Venus II. 2:11}) by Speculation, dam
Jenny by Bull Pup.

Point Lace by Antevolo 2:19}, dam Martha (own
sister to Crown Point) by Speculation.

Emma S. (dam of Psyche 2:16J) by Speculation, dam
Jenny by Bull Pup.

-Mi^s Yalensin (dam of Czarina 2:13^) by Valensin
2:23, dam Humming Bird 2:30 (dam of Hummer 2:1s])
by Tecumseh.

Lady Aptos, thoroughbred mare by Lodi, dam Key.
stone by Lapidist.

Princess Louise by Dexter Prince, dam thorough-
bred.

Susie Wilkes by Aptos Wilkes, dam Erminie by
Abbotsford.

Corinne by Director 2:17, dam Young Ashcat by
Speculation.

Keystone II. by Speculation, dam by Lapidist, thor-
oughbred.

Fanny Ford by Abbotsford, dam thoroughbred.

Of the above mares, those that are represented in
this consignment by more than one foal are the follow-
ing: Lilly S. 2, Emma S. 3, Point Lace 4, Satella 2,
Neonta 2. All the others one each. The horses will
leave Aptos May 1st and will arrive in Cleveland about
five or six days later, probably being taken off the cars
at Ogden for a short rest. When they are shown on
the track there they will fulfill all the promises that
have been made for them.

Taking her ease in a five-acre paddock adjoining
the training track last Saturday, alternately cropping
the luxuriant grass and looking over the fence at the
young things that were being given their daily work,
was the once reigning queen. Hulda 2:08], whose cam-
paign on the Grand Circuit is~still fresh in the minds
of horsemen. She is due to foal within a few days,
having been bred to Dexter Prince last season. It was
a great pity her foal by Searchlight 2:03} died, as it
was one of the handsomest of youngsters and had
every promise of being a fast one. There is a four-
year-old son of Hulda's now at the Aptos Farm. His
name is Cronje and he is by Cupid 2:18. Cronje is a
blocky built fellow that looks as if he could trot any
number of heats without tiring, and is just beginning
to show an inclination to trot fast. He looks more
like his sire than like his dam, but as both are of the
blocky order many see a resemblance to Hulda in this

April 12, 1902]

©he gveebev mtfr gip-tfrtsmun

bold little stallion. Sandy says that Cronje will trot
close to 2:15 next year, and perhaps he will. I hope
so, at least, as he is the pride of the farm and will be
retained for the stud: but I'll make a guess right now
that Hulda:s coming foal, if he has luck, will beat the
best record Cupid's son makes. I may be a very poor
prophet, but I think that Ci'onje will sire several that
will get a faster mark than ever ho himself acquires.
The reason is that he is not built just right to be an
extremely fast performer, in my opinion. He is bred
right for a sire, however, and has very strong individ-
uality and a will of his own. Bred to rangy mares he
will get speed of the extreme order and do it with
great uniformity, while his colts ought to be of the
rugged, game, resolute, do-or-die sort. He has never
served a mare yet, but were he my horse his entry
into stud duties would be early and I would have great
faith in his future.

More Good Mares to Barondale.

Barondale 2:11} is gettiDg a very high class lot of
mares during this, his flrst season in California.
Among those booked to him duriDg the past week
were the following:

Lady Nutwood 2:34 1 (dam of Ned Thorne 2:11.]. Lady
Grosvenor 2:27 and Nutgrove 2:32) by the great Nut-
wood, dam Lady Mac ('am of Zero 2:30, two-mile
record 5:021. This mare was booked by Mr. C. X.
Larrabie and is the third mare sent by him to Baron-
dale this year.

Mr. James Duncan, of Salinas, has booked his mare
Cecino (half-sister to Cecilian (2) 2:22) by Mendocino
out of Cecil, dam of two in the list, by Gen. Benton.

Mr. R. M. Whiddea, of Santa Clara, sends his mare
Susie K. 2:24} by Brown Jug 21,985, son of Nutwood,
first dam Lady Benton by Gen. Benton. Susie K. is a
full sister to Col. Benton 2:141.

Dr. Boucher has booked his great mare Miss Logan
2:061, dam of Harry Logan (4) 2:12} and of Bert Logan,
a 21 months old colt by Colbert 2:071 that was first
put in harness on the 5th of January this year, and on
Monday last stepped an eighth in 17 seconds. As this
colt is by the next to the fastest of all the sons of On-
ward 2:251, the stallion that has more in the 2:10 list
than any horse living or dead, he will bear watching
in the future. Miss Logan should have a fine foal by
Barondale.

Five of the best mares sold at the January Palo Alto
sale in this city have already been booked to Baron-
dale, which is an excellent showing for a newcomer to
make.

Ventura Again to the FroAt.

Breeder and Sportsman: — The Directors of 31st
District Ventura County Agricultural Association at
their meeting on the 4th inst., voted to hold their
annual fair and race meeting at Ventura about August
6th when a good racing program will be offered with
liberal purses. It is our desire to have a coast circuit
consisting of Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis
Obispo, Salinas and Hollister. The weather will be
cool and pleasant, the horses will reach Woodland and
the State Fair in good condition for racing. About
two hundred horses are in training in Santa Ana, Los
Angeles and Hueneme. These horses can begin at
Ventura and go on up the Coast, having a pleasant
time and raking in a few purses on their way ud. If
this arrangement can be made, a large entry list will
be the result. Please give us your opinion, and oblige

T. H. Merry,
Secretary 31st Dist. Association, Oxnard, Cal.

[The Coast Circuit should be a great success and
will doubtless have the endorsement and patronage of
all the horsemen in that locality as well as many from
outside the territory included. By closing the circuit
before the State Fair all will have a chance to race at
the Sacramento meeting. The more of these local
circuits arranged the larger number of horses will be
trained and raced in California, and the harness horse
industry will be greatly benefitted. We hope to see
this "coast circuit" an annual feature of the California
fairs. — Ed. Breeder and Sportsman.]

Altivo 2:18 1-2 Dead.

Bad Teeth Make Side Reiners.

Altivo passed away at Palo Alto Stock Farm April
5th. He was a bay stallion foaled 1890 by Electioneer
125, dam Dame Winnie thoroughbred daughter of
Planet. He was a full brother to Palo Alto 2:08},
Paola, Lone Pine 2:18, Gertrude Russell 2:231. and
half brother to Big Jim 2:231. He was a dead game
race horse and his races in 1894, when a four year old,
proves it. In the Horseman Stake at Detroit, July 17,
1894, he was 10, 7, 4, 4, 5, in 2:161, 215}, 2:15J, 2:17, 2:17.
Four days after he won the Consolation Horseman,
$9000, was 1, 2, 1, 1, in 2:18.1, 2:18, 2:18J, 2:19}. I have
been informed by Mr. Andy McDowell, who drove
Altivo in his races, that he was the gamest horse be
ever drove, a grand epitaph to inscribe on the tablet
marking the grave of the full brother to Palo Alto.

Rio Alto.

Captor 2:09}, at present in Mr. C. K. G. Billings'
string at Memphis, is looked upon by many well posted
horsemen as likely to give the wagon trotters a hard
tussle for honors in this season's amateur events. Last
fall Charles Marvin certainly had a great trotter in
the son of Electric Bell, but no one excepting Marvin
appreciates the work and study required to make him
the horse he was. In his first starts in 1900, he was a
disappointment and his redemption came as a surprise
to those who saw his rather remarkable performances
at Oakley, Lexington and Memphis. Captor was a
'side-reiner" of the worst sort and in order to
straighten his head and neck Marvin had to resort to
an outfit of appliances which made Captor's headgear
resemble the fixings of an ancient knight armed for
battle. His head was reefed to the top with a heavy
strap, but despite it Captor still inclined it sideways
and pulled on one line. Some trainers would have
despaired, but Marvin dies hard and his genius enabled
him to make a reliable trotter out of a subject most
any other trainer would have abandoned. But now
things have changed. The jewelry has been thrown
away and Scott McCoy is driving Captor handily with
an overcheck and plain bit. A tale goes with this
transformation.

In Mr. Billings' Now York stable a valuable coach-
horse was daily growing thinner and for a time the
veterinary failed to find the cause. A veterinary den
tist — Dr. Reilly of Providence— finally found the
trouble to be in his grinders, which when treated
caused no further trouble and the horse soon got fat.
Previous to this Mr. Billings had sent a dentist to
Memphis to look his horses over and that gentleman
reported all to be in good condition after his visit.
Dr. Reilly's work, however, had pleased him so much
that he sent him to Memphis to re-examine the cracks
there. When Captor was examined the dentist re.
marked that he would bet he was a side-reiner. Mc-
Coy told him that bis guess was a good one and asked
how he found it out. The dentist showed him Captor's
teeth, two of which had small cavities in the outer
shelland at the roots were badly decayed and ulcerated.
After the filling process, which ensued, was ended,
Captor was tried and found to be a changed horse.
He drives like another trotter and shows no indication
of favoring either rein. Without doubt many side
pullers are troubled in the same way as was Captor,
and a careful examination of their teeth will perhaps
show the cause and save the trainer many heart-
aches.— Marque in fforse Review.

Sir Albert S. 2:08 3-4 Will Go East.

Wm. G. Layng has leased the racing qualities of his
champion pacer Sir Albert S. 2:08} to the Santa Rosa
Stock Farm and he will go East in May in charge of
Millard Sanders, who will race him through the Grand
Circuit along with the three great trotting maresi
Dolly Dillon 2:07, Anzella 2:101 and Bonsilene 2:14}.
With a quartet of such good ones Mr. Sanders expects
to maintain the prestige of Santa Rosa Stock Farm
and add to it new laurels on the Grand Circuit.

Mr. Layng had already entered Sir Albert S. in
several races to which he was eligible and these will be
transferred to the present lessees uf the horse. The
races in which Sir Albert S. has been entered as stated
by Mr. Layng are as follows:

Detroit, July 14, 2:09 class S3000

Cleveland, July 21, 2:09 class 3000

Columbus, Julv 28, 2:09 class 2000

Buffalo Aug. 4, 2:08 class 2000

Hartford, Sept. 1, 2:09 class 3000

Pamlico, Sept. 8, 2:09 class 5000

Empire City, Sept. 15, 2:09 class 5000

Read ville, Sept. 26, 2:09 class 2000

Here are eight purses and there are several more at
Cincinnati, Brighton Beach, Terre Haute, Memphis,
Lexington and other points which have not yet closed,
and the son of Diablo will probably get an opportunity
to race for stakes worth $50,000 all told before he has
finished the racing season and is ready to come home.
An item going the rounds of the Eastern papers
states that when W. E. Snow was out here last winter
he saw Sir Albert S. Mr. Layng tells us that the
papers have been misinformed, as when Mr. Snow
came to see him the horse was not at his stable and
Mr. Snow did not have the pleasure he anticipated.
As Mr. Snow has entries in some of the races in which
Sir Albert S. will start this year however, Mr. Layng
says that he will have a chance to see the son of
Diablo and can probably do so without "rubbering."

Mr. Stice's New Purchase.

Brookpield, Mo., Apr. 4, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — Dear Sir: I
have recently purchased the Rose Hill Stock Farm at
this place. Rose Hill Farm has long been noted as the
home of many fast trotters and pacers, as its former
owner, Mr. J. O. Crandall was one of Missouri's most
extensive breeders of the light harness horse. The
farm contains 240 acres of the finest blue grass land,
and is one of the best equipped farms in the State.
The residence and training barns are situated on Rose
Hill overlooking the city of Brookfield

Among the broodmares at Rose Hill are Nellie M.
2:10} in foal to Heir-at-Law 2:05}; Jessie C. 2:10} in
foal to Sir Charles 2:10}; Wayside 2:21 in foal to Sir
Charles 2:10}; Flora Little 2:23 in foal to Sir Charles
2:10} and several other standard mares in foal to the
same horse.

Wayside 2:21 is the dam of the sensational pacer
Sweetheart 2:15}, the fastest three year old in Califor-
nia to-day. I have a full brother to Sweetheart com-
ing two year old, which is very promising. Wayside
also has a yearling by Direct 2:051 which we think is a
regular crackcrjack. My other colts by Direct are
doing well, and give promise of a high rate of speed.

One of the favorites of the farm is Nellie Colbert, a
coming two year old by Colbert 2:07J, dam Nellie MJ
2:10}, and I expect her to be as fast or faster than her
sire. She is entered in the Horse Review Stake of
1903. I expect to add several record mares to my
farm this Spring, and hope by judicious breeding to
continue the success that has heretofore attended Rose
Hill Stock Farm. Respectfully,

A. G. F. Stice.

During the month of April SUNSET LIMITED will
leave San Francisco for New Orleans every Monday,
up to and including April 21st, at 4:50 p. m., via San
Jose, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, El Paso, San An-
tonio and Houston. Direct connection with trains for
New York. Secure full information from any Agent

Monterey Directors Meet.

[Salinas Journal, April 8th.J

The Directors of the Monterey Agricultural Asso-
ciation, District No. 7, held a meeting yesterday after-
noon at the office of Winham Bros. There were
present: Directors J. D. Carr, H. S. Ball, J. A. Tres-
cony, J. B. Iverson, T. J. Field, C. Z. Hebert, William
Sarle8 and S. N. Matthews.

There were also present from the Hollister district,
Directors R. I. Orr, Col. William Higby and Al Wil-
son. These gentlemen were invited to be present to
consult with reference to the dates, program, etc., that
would be mutually agreeable to the two associations.

A proposition in writing from Hueneme, District No.
31, to form a Southern Coast Circuit, was read and
discussed. The associations and the dates proposed
are as published elsewhere in these columns. The
proposed plan was approved by the directors of this
association and also met with the approval of the
Hollister directors, except that the latter preferred
not to take the date just before the State Fair, as
they prefer not to clash with Woodland, but to take
the date that Salinas would otherwise have had.

Secretary J. J. Kelly was instructed to communicate
with the secretary of the Hueneme Association and
endeavor to perfect the formation of the proposed
circuit.

The speed program committee were given further
time and the meeting adjourned until Tuesday,
May 6th. ^^_

Minneapolis for 1902.

The Minneapolis Riding and Driving Club is an
association formed this season and is made up of the
prominent business men of the Minnesota metropolis,
R. F. Jones, President of the Great Western Circuit,
being Secretary and Treasurer of the new club.

Mr. Jones has for many years conducted meetings
over different northwestern tracks and is unquestion-
ably well qualified for his position and this season,
backed with ample capital and a most liberal program,
should certainly meet with good success.

The Minneapolis track is a turf track, constructed
by the veteran track builder, Selh Griffin, and is as
good as lies outdoors. Stables and other accommoda-
tions are superior and the program provided for the
July meeting of 1902 is of the most liberal order. All
classes are made best two in three, except the Derby,
which is a two-mile dash for 2:30 trotters for a purse
of $1500. Eleven other races are on the card and six
of them are for $1000 purses, the remainder calling for

$600 each. $2000 reserved for specials and $1

offered for the show ring. All purses are guaranteed
and the winners will be paid at the wire.

Examine the ad in this issue for full details.

Mr. J. C. Bray, who recently shipped a carload of
roadsters to Montana, took wi'th him a black -
horse which he purchased from Mr. Frank Dos
of Pleasanton.

In New York last Saturday Secretary Charles A.
McCully, o( the New York Trotting Association,
secured the signatures of Owners John J. Scannell and
Elmer E. Smathers binding a match race at three in
fire to harness between the rival Village Farm bred
trotters, The Abbot 2:03} and Lord Derby 2:06J, same
to be decided at the coming summer meeting at the
seaside track, the date preferred being August 14th.

Messrs. Scannell and Smathers appeared promptly
at 4 o'clock and with Secretary McCully retired to a
table to discuss matters. I was decided best to waive
the distance flag, inasmuch aslast season's great special
between The Abbot and Cresceus resulted in one glori-
ous finish, then subsequent disappointment because of
The Abbot's bad behavior. Both horses are had
actors when off their strides and this waiving of the
distance guarantees to the race-going public thrte
heats at all events, consequently there will be added
interest in the great event. The stake money is *10,-
000, divided S7000 to the winner, $3000 to the loser.

Both trotters were bred by C. J. Hamlin at Village
Farm; no one other than Ed Geers has ever as yet
raced either. Lord Derby was considered even superior
to his former stable mate by the elder Hamlin up to
the time he was auctioned and each horse is owned
in New York by a le ding turfman. The Abbot cost
Mr. Scannell $2ii,500 during the November sale of
1900, earned in a very few starts last season $21,500
and at the vory end of his campaign trotted a losing

King, while Lord Derby is by Mambrino King from
Clarabel by Almonarch. Singularly each of the trot-
ters matched yesterday is already matched with Thos.
W. Lawson's noted gelding Boralma 2:07, for $10,000 a
side. The Lord Derby-Boralma race is to be decided
at Charter Oak Park on the last day of August. The
Abbot vs. Boralma affair has not as yet been definitely
scheduled, but A. J. Welch has assurance that it will
be trotted over one of his tracks, Oikley or Charter
Oak.

It was agreed between Messrs. Scannell and Smathers
that no meeting of the two great trotters will be
arranged prior to their match at Brighton Beach, con-
sequently a veritable treat seems in store for local
enthusiasts. More of real rivalry obtains as between
Lord Derby and The Abbot than between anv two
trotters to-day before the public. Geers would rather
win with The Abbot here in New York, where last
season his favorite was disgracefully distanced, than
any other race he possibly could be engaged to drive.

Care of Horses.

Clipping of Horses.

The use of the clippers on horses in the spring of
the year is growing in popularity every season. At
that time the horses are shedding their long winter
coats and naturally their systems are not in as good
condition as when that operation has not been begun
or when it is over. The natural shedding of the long
hair is inclined to debilitate the animal to a certain
extent and this inclination is increased by the extra

William Lanigan, better known as "Pud,1' driver of
Engine Company No. 12, Philadelphia Fire Depart-
ment, stationed at Manayunk, is a thorough horseman
of the Hiram Woodruff type, thinks more of a horse's
comfort than his meals, and has literally been raised
with the equines since his sixth year. For the benefit
of the members of the Fire Department and all others
who have charge of horses, he has submitted the fol-
lowing rules for their care and treatment:

Feeding — Sieve the oats well: shake all dust from
the hay, which should be as much as the animal will
eat. Give soft feed three times a week, mixing a little
cake meal each time. A change of diet is preferable.
If off his feed, examine his teeth, and at the last resort
call in a veterinary.

To prevent sores and prevent diseases — Scald the
bit well every morning. Sponge out the mouth, nos-
trils and eyes; wash the head with cold water and
clean thoroughly, especially the flanks and fetlocks
Sore shoulders can be prevented by keeping the collar
or tick clean. If sores appear, raise or lower the
draughts on the harness, run long breast straps and
keep him close to his work.

Never strike with the whip before speaking to the
animal. Do not discard the breeching in heavy haul-
ing or much backing, as sore necks will be the result.
Drive with the lines, not with the pole. Carry your
own bucket and sponge. Never put blankets on a
horse until he has steamed out. Walk them around

heat at Memphis against "time" in 2:04, the fastest
heat he trotted during the season. In early summer
he was sick and never regained bis former brilliancy.
He has been carefully wintered at Memphis and his
trainer considers that he has in every way entirely
recuperated and stands a chance to regain the cham-
pionship even.

Lord Derby cost Mr. Smathers $10,500 in November
last at a Garden sale and .rent into the string of George
W. Spear, Mr. Smathers' trainer, who has wintered
him very carefully and considers him in every way
eligible to meet all comers during the season. He
came out in 1900, securing his maiden record of 2:11}
at Cleveland, and won hands down at the Empire City
meeting two heats each in 2:07. Later he showed
fractions at nearly a two-minute gait, but was given to
seeming unsteadiness. At Readville, in a match with
Cresceus, he trotted a half in l:00j, and forced the
champion out in 2:06 after a bad break. At Brighton
Beach Lord Derby won the $10,000 free-for-all trot
after losing a heat to The Monk in 2:09. Mr. SDear
roaded him all winter over the speedway and shipped
in February to Memphis, where he is being keyed up
for his season s races over the same track where Geers
has The Abbot and other stars in active training. To
'.ate neither has trotted a workout faster than 2:25.
but each has shown all of his old time brilliant brush
speed.

There is general interest in this notable special inas-
much asit is to be a test of the Village Farm's premier

call for fuel by the animal's system if it so happens
that he must work hard or to the sweating point while
the shedding process is going on. It is an extreme
strain on a horse to stand wet with sweat for hours,
using up the fuel in his food consumed to dry off his
hide when it ought to be going to repair the waste of
tissue occasioned by the work of the previous day and
the other work the system must do. The removal of
this long and partially dead hair with the clippers
enables the skin to dry off in a very short time and
permits the food to be used for the proper purposes.
Besides this when a horse is clipped in the spring he
is not half so apt to catch cold for the reason that he
may, no matter how warm he is, be dried off in a few
moments and then be put comfortably to bed for the
night. Naturally, too, a horse that is clipped can get
along on somewhat less grain than the one that must
stand half the night with his skin wet and therefore in
great discomfort. Further still, the horse that is
clipped looks better than the one that is allowed to
2et rid of his dead hair the best he can. The latter
always looks a bit "patchy," give him the best care
you may. while the fellow that is clipped looks smooth
and dapper and can be much more easily groomed.
Intelligently used the clippers are a great boon to
horses and horsemen in the springtime. Care must,
of course, be taken to see that the newly clipped horse
is not exposed to heavy drafts or extreme changes of
temperature without adequate blanket protection when
still, in or out of the stable.

Strikel— if they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda

his traits and never be cruel or harsh, and you will

George H. Ketcham will race the colt Crescent Route
2:24} by Cresceus this season.

If four of the mares by Directlv 2:03}, at Shultshurst
Farm, Portchester, N. Y., will produce a foal each, the
average speed inheritance of the youngsters will be
exactly 2:07} The mares are: Sunland Belle 2:08},
Kitty R. 2:08}, Laurel 2:09} and Susie T. 2:09}.

The British government is still sending about 13,000
horses to South Africa every month.

Geers thinks 2:03 will be about the correct figures to
put after Shadow Chimes' name this year.

Grace Hastings 2:08 has a colt by Hardwicke, a son
of Directum, and has been bred to Metallas 2:11.

There are $1000 purses for all classes on the Minne-
sota Great Western Circuit advertised in this issue.

M. E. Sturgis contemplates changing the name of
his recent purchase, Freddy C. 2:14} to Prince Direct.

Pastoria (dam of Johnny Trouble 2:15) by Judge
Salisbury 5872, has been bred to Zombro 2:11 this year.

Anyone wanting a very handsome young buggy
mare" should see the one advertised for sale in this
issue at $300.

Eddie Rice says if he does not sell Anaconda 2:01|
pretty soon he will send him to Ed Geers if this noted
trainer will take the horse.

The two year old sister to Nico 2:08} is said to be a
beauty. Titer says she will make a great trotter, as
she has a great turn of speed.

Alaska, a sorrel mare by Woolsey (full brother to
Sunol 2:08}) died at Los Angeles fast Wednesday.
She was in foal to McKinney 2:11}.

Jessie McEwen 2:12}, that at two years old paced a
half mile in 1 :00, the last quarter in 29* seconds, has
been bred to New Richmond 2:08*.

W. L. Snow thinks he has a good prospect for the
2:15 classes in Pauline G. 2:15}, by Commoner. She
showed a mile in 2:10 over a half-mile track last fall.

Remember the Special Harness Stallion Stake adver-
tised by the State Agricultural Society, and name your
stallion by the lsr. of May. Write to the secretary
about it and he will send you blanks.

Ed. Geers is entering the bay stallion Dandy Chimes
quite extensively in the stakes for green pacers. He
is a big fellow, gaited like Star Pointer, and is a brother
in blood to Shadow Chimes 2:06}, being by Chimes out
of Persis, sister to Charmer, the dam of Shadow
Chimes.

Elsie, the great broodmare which Mr. Henry Pierce
of this city purchased at the Palo Alto Stock Farm
sale last January for Dr. H. F. Hamilton of Boston,
has beeen bred to the Santa Rosa Stock Farm's stallion
L. W. Russell by Stamboul 2:07* out of By By by
Nutwood.

In trotting horse circles over in Oakland it is ru-
mored that the price paid by Judge Murphy of the
California Jockey Club for the bay gelding by Knigho
that he purchased from W. P. Bellingall, was $1500.

A handsome son of James Madison 2:17} is offered
for sale by an advertiser in West Berkeley. He is
well bred and a sure foal getter, kind and gentle to
halter and in the stud, but has never been broken to
harness, therefore is offered very cheap. See adver-
tisement.

Suel Harris of Marysville, recently sold to Mr. Wil-
son of Sacramento, a handsome large mare by Lochin-
var 2:20*. The mare stands over sixteen hands and is
a grand looker, besides showing lots of speed. Five
hundred dollars was the figure at which the transfer
was made.

Hannah Price, dam of Lesa Wilkes 2:09 and five
others in 2:30, by Arthurton, recently foaled a chestnut
colt by Advertiser 2:15}. Owing to her advanced age
Hannah Price was not sold with the balance of Gen.
Tracy's stock and is still the property of the eminent
Brooklyn lawyer.

Sixteen foals, ten of tkem colts, had arrived at the
Baywood Stud this year up to Monday last. They
are all by Green's Rufus and a particularly fine looking
lot of youngsters. The farm recently sold a pair of
carriage horses for $3500 which were a very high class
pair with peifect manners.

Los Angeles Driving Club members propose having
a big parade of trotting stock at their next matinee.
The stallions in service at Los Angeles will be paraded.

The Boralma-Lord Derby match race will take place
at Hartford on the second day of the meeting. The
Futurity is carded for the first day and the Charter
Oak for the third day. The Hartford track has been
greatly improved this spring.

Santa Rosa Stock Farm will send about six well
bred horses to the Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland.
The racing stable under management of Millard San-
ders will go East in the same car as the sale horses
during the early part of May.

A gentleman is in this city who wants a trotter
eligible to the 2:30 class and a pacer eligible to the 2:25
class. The former must be capable of trotting in 2:20
and the la*ter be able to pace in 2:15. The gentleman
has the cash, and will pay fair prices, but wants to
make no trades or dickers of any kind, and the horses
must be able to show what they can do. See the ad-
vertisement.

Tom Marshis working Boralma 2:07 at Dover, N. H,
and already giving slow repeats to him. He looks
better than at any time since his racing began, it is
said, and has been wintered in splendid shape. If he
meets no set backs or sickness it is thought that he
will give a good account of himself in his great match
races.

Governor Gage has appointed the following directors
for the Napa District Agricultural Society: H. H.
Thomas, F. W. Bush, C. D. Falconer. Geo. Berrj, R.
D. Taylor, A. H. Brown and D. E. Osborne. The
board will soon announce a program of races for its
fair this year and proposes holding one of the best fairs
on the circuit.

Miss Logan's colt by Colbert 2:07} is now 21 months
old. He was given his first lesson in harness last Janu-
ary and on Monday last paced an eighth in 17 seconds
on the San Jose track. Miss Logan is destined to be
a great broodmare, as she already has one, Harry
Logan, that has a four year old record of 2:12}. She
will be bred to Barondale 2:11} this year.

The owner of Anacou 'jing to arrang

with Ed. Geers to take the "Snake horse" Into
stable and campaign him this season. If ho succeeds
the Village Farm will have a free-for-all candidate
that will not be outclassed by the others in that div-
ision, for, judging from Anaconda's showing last year,
he is one of the fastest pacers on the turf. Geers likes
a pacer and he likes to figure in the great events on
the turf, hence he may conclude that he has a vacant
place in his stable for just such a horse as Anaconda is.

If all the California horses entered in the Chamber
of Commerce $5000 stake for the 2:24 class pacers start
in the race, there will be a decided Golden State tlavor
to the big even{. Among those emered are Trilby
by Direct, owned by Mr. Juan Gallegos of Mission San
Jose; Velvet Rose" by McKinney, owned by J. C. Mc-
Kinney of Titusville. Pa.; Funston by Dictatus, owned
by A. Kaul of St. Marys. Pa.; Thornway By Steinway,
owned by Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick of San Francisco, and
China Maid by McKinney, owned by Consul General
Ho Yow of China.

There was never as good an opportunity to buy a
lot of well bred trotting mares at low figures, as is
offered by Hon. Jesse D. Carr, of Salinas, at the pres-
ent time. He has a large number that he must get
rid of, as he is in his 87th year and wants to close out
all his stock. Any man with the ca6h can get these
mares at his own price, and if he is short of cash just
now approved notes will do. Mr. Carr wants to close
out his horse interests, and there are many great bar-
gains to be had. Anyone who will buy these mares
and breed them to good stallions can make money on
the investment.

O'Brien & Sons, at their repository corner Golden
Gate avenue and Polk street, are supplying trainers
and owners with the very latest in Toomey bikes and
carts. They recently sent to Geo. A. Davis at Pleas-
anton one of the new light Toomey jog carts, the first
one of the kind ever seen on the Pleasanton track. It
is a beauty and cannot be excelled foi strength and
lightness. The firm sent to Pleasanton this week a
33-pound bike sulky of the Toomey 1902 model, which
was purchased by Capt. Matson of this city and sent
to his trainer to be hitched to a Direct trotter that
will pull it inside of 2:15 this year.

Frank Herdic, the veteran poolseller, speaking of
betting men he has known, said: "I regard E. E.
Smathers as the biggest plunger in the world. Can he
out-bet Lawson ? Well, allow me to remark that he
can drive Lawson and the two Hubingers out of the
ring. He tried to get the Hubingers to bet him
$50r000 against $100,000 that they could not name the
winner of the M & M., last year, and he will bet $1000
bills just as soon as most men will bet dollar bills.
And, win or lose, he is just the same. He is the
easiest loser I ever met in my life."

Rajah is again in Mr. Welch's string at Pleasanton.
Mr. Goodall has used this fast pacer on the road here
in the city all winter, and he is in fine condition to
begin work on.

Harry K. Chittenden of Denver recently purchased
the pacing mare Lottie Smart 2:08 for $1050. Frank
Loomis is handling her and will take her East to the
races this year.

Santa Rosa should get in line and give a good har-
ness meeting this year with bookmaking barred. It
has as fine a climate and as fast a track as there is on
the Pacific slope.

Dr. Pitzer 2:12*, docked and gelded since bis pur-
chase for show purposes last November for $9000, is
now being educated by Ticbenor & Co. for the sphere
in which he is expected to shine.

The chestnut mare Hyita, who trotted second to
Axtello three times at Readville, July 2, 190o, in 2:15},
2:15, 2:15}, is lame, and her owner, Mr. James McClena-
han, will oreed her. Hyita is by Dexter Prince (son
of Kentucky Prince and Lady Dexter), dam Helena
2:11} by Electioneer, and has been timed a mile in
2:13*. It is a pity that she cannot be trained.

Sir Mbert S. 2:083 was sent to Millard Sanders at
Pleasanton last Friday, and will be campaigned in the
Santa Rosa Stock Farm string this year. His first
start will probably be at Detroit, as he is entered in
the $3000 2:09 pace there. It is a very warm lot that
he will meet, the entries being almost identical with
those of the Cleveland 2:09 pace, which were published
in these colums last week.

Mr. D. M. Shanks of Washington, who formerly
owned Diodene 2:10} the Diablo mare that raced on
the North Pacific Circuit last year and was sold this
winter at Chicago for $2500, is in California on a busi-
ness trip. Mr. Shanks says the North Pacific circuit
gives every promise of being very successful this year
and a large entry list is expected by each and every
association on the circuit.

Mr. C. E. King of College City, writes us that his
mare, Dolly Grigsby by Clarence Wilkes, foaled April
6tb, a bay or brown filly by Diawood 2:11. It is eligible
to the Breeders' $6000 Futurity for the produce of
mares bred in 1901. The Diawood colts are showing
ud well, being large, handsome, and good solid colors.
Mr. King bred sixteen of his own mares to Diawood
last year and will get fifteen colts.

A supplement containing corrections of the errors
in the Year Book is to be issued. Now is the time for
those who are finding fault with the way the pedigree
records of their horses are printed in the book to write
to Secretary Steiner and give him all the necessary
and correct information in regard to the matter.
Those who fail to do this should not complain if the
supplement fails to correct the errors.

Historic old Point Breeze, the scene of many a hard
fought turf battle, was put up at auction recently and
was purchased by Anthony A. Hirst, a lawyer of Phil-
adelphia, for $41,600. The Philadelphia Driving Club
sent a delegation to the sale, and instructed them to
bid as high as $41,000 on the property. It is to be
hoped that the club can make some arrangements
with Mr. Hirst whereby they can lease the track for a
term of years, or at least have the use of it this season.

Hambletonian Wilkes has been bred to quite a num-
ber of well bred mares this year and has a very re-
spectable number booked. The son of George Wilkes
never looked better in his life than he does this spring.
Green Meadow Stock Farm has Jack Garrity employed
and he is now jogging Robert I., Maggie N. and Rose,
all by Hambletonian Wilkes, on the roads, which at
present are about as good as the majority of tracks to
jog on. On the 1st of May Garrity will take these
horses and a pacer called Adonis to the San Jose track
to get them ready for the California circuit. They
are all for sale, but will be raced unless a buyer comes
along and takes them.

Breeding and size, as well as goo- looks and pro-
spective speed, are represented in a filly that made her
first appearance last Tuesday morning at Brown &
Brandon's ranch near Petaluma. Mr. R. S. Brown
measured her when she was able to stand up and she
was just 42 inches high. She was sired by Meridian
2:12}, he by Simmocolon 2:13} out of Sidane by Sidney
2:19}. second dam Addie S. by Steinway 2:25}. The
dam of the filly is Cornelia by Cornelius, he by Nut-
wood 600, out of a daughter by Echo, second dam by
Speculation. The dam of Cornelia was the thorough-
bred mare Priscella byThad Stevens, second dam Elisa
by Norfolk, third dam May Wade by Wood burn. etc.
In this filly's veins is tbe blood of Hambletonian 10,
through George Wilkes, Strathmore, Volunteer, Spec-
ulation, Echo and Nutwood, with strains from Mam-
brino Patchen, Miss Russell and other great producers,
backed up by the blood o.' such great thoroughbred
race horses as Thad Stevens, Norfolk, Woodburn,
Lexington and others. It should be a great combina-
tion. The filly was bred by D. S. Frasier of Napa.

The Zombros are just cutting dust at Los Angeles
and the horsemen there are all talking about them.
Zomhroyette, three years old, out of Silver Bell by
Silver Bow 2:16, an Occident Stake candidate, stepped
a mile last Monday in 2:21}. We have heard of but one
hree year old in the United States working so fast up
to this time. Lord Kitchener, a five year old, stepped
a mile in 2:25, and his full brother, two years old,
trotted a quarter, Tuesday, in 38 seconds, while
another Zombro two year old made a quarter in 40
seconds. Gold Coin, the four year old in W. <;. Dur-
fee's string, worked a half in 1:12. and P. M. Hodges
drove his Zombro five year old filly a mile in 2:20. and
back in 2:20} Walter" Maben stepped Julia M. by
Zombro, a mile on Friday of last week in 2:1-
half in 1:06* and then drove Ita'ia, the winner of last
year's Occident Stake, a mile in 2:19. There are at
least five Zombros at the Los Angeles track that can
beat 2:20, and the showing made is most creditable to
McKinney's great son. His season win end June 1st,
when Zombro will be taken to Salem, Oregon, for the
balance of the year. Mi-. Beckers has already bred
Zombro to twenty-five mares at Los An.

The Oldenburg Coach Horse.

The ancient home of the Oldenburg Coach horse,
says an exchange, lies in North Germany, in that part
of the grand duchy of Oldenburg bordering on the
Baltic sea, where it is known to have been bred con-
tinuously for at least a period of three hundred years.
At the accession of Count Anton Gunther to the ducal
throne in 1603, large studs even then existed in the
country, and the count himself, who was a great lover
of horses, encouraged breeding to such an extent that
in 1661 he had as many as 1200 horses on his stud farms.
It fails to he recorded, however, that after a long life
devoted to horse breeding an unfortunate fire occurred
at the count's castle, which occasioned the destruction
of all his memoranda and stud records, otherwise the
pedigree of many horses of the present day could
doubtless be traced back to the year 1600. After the
count's time but slight interest was taken in horse
breeding by the authorities till 1820, when the ducal
ministry of that time appointed a committee to i- sti-
tute a system of registration, which continued in force
'down to 1897. In that year a law was passed which
had for effect the merging of the State system of reg-
istration in that of an opposition stud book which had
been established some time previously, the rules regu-
lating entrance into the official stud book having been
found irksome to a great degree. The association
brought into being as a consequence of this law may
be styled in English as the Oldenburg Coach Horse
Breeders Union, and under the new methods of man-
agement continued prosperity for the Oldenburg
breeders may be confidently anticipated. At the great
world's horse show at Paris in 1900 the union had for-
ward for competition some very fine specimens of the
breed, a pair of which — one a first prize, gold medal
and championship winner — were acquired by Sir
Walter Gilbey, and now grace that gentleman's very
fine collection of horses.

The aim of Oldenburg breeders, especially since the
introduction of government inspection eighty years
ago, has been to produce a fine, big, weighty horse,
free yet graceful in movement, and elegant and attrac-
tive in general appearance. With regard to color,
the prevailing shades in the breed are bay, dark bay,
or black, chestnuts and grays being seldom seen. The
breed on the whole is considered very robust, the
general upbringing and treatment being highly con-
ducive to this result. In the summer months the
young stock are pastured out day and night and are
consequently subjected to all the changes of a seaboard
climate — heat and cold, mists and heavy rains, besides
frequent high winds and storms. In winter the feed-
ing is of good hay, oat and bean straw, with an allow-
ance of oats. There is also to be said in favor of the
Oldenburg horse that it is an easy feeder and can be
kept in good condition on comparatively poor prov-
ender. The great markets of these horses are held
every spring at Rodenkirchen, Oldenburg and Jever,
these places being eight hours from Berlin aDd three
from Hamburg.

A Grandly Bred Colt for Australia.

Superintendent F. W. Covey of Palo Alto was in
the city Monday last, making some of the preliminary
arrangements for shipping the consignment of colts
and fillies from the farm to the Blue Ribbon sale at
Cleveland. While here Mr. Covey informed us that
the farm will soon ship to Mr. William Bouick Veers
of Melbourne, Australia, the bay two year old stud
colt Marocino by Mendocino out of Aerolite by Palo
Alto 2:08J, second dam Manette, dam of Arion 2:07J.
The negotiations for the sale of this colt were begun
with Mr. Veers last year, and have now been consum-
mated. Marocino is one of the most grandly bred
young stallions ever foaled on this farm where more
champions have been produced than on any farm in
theworld. Hissire, Mendocino 2:19J, is by Electioneer,
the greatest sire of trotters the world has ever known.
Mendocino's dam Mano, is a producing mare by Pied-
mont; second dam Mamie, producer of four in the list,
by Hambletonian Jr.; third dam the thoroughbred
mare Gilda by imp. Mango. Mendocino is bred accord-
ing to the late Governor Stanford's theory and is one
of the grandest young sires the farm has ever pro-
duced. He is already the sire of Idolita 2:12, Monte
Carlo 2:14* and Monbells 2:23|. The dam of this two
year old colt that will soon make the trip to the anti-
podes, is a young mare foaled 1891 and has had but
three foals, the oldest being a filly by Dexter Prince
that was sold from the farm some time since. The
second dam is the famous Manette by Nutwood. Man-
ette produced the great Arion 2:07}, whose two year
old record of 2:10} has never been approached by a
trotter, and who is now considered one of the coming
great sires of America, having already sired Nico 2:08},
and fourteen more in tbe standard list.

Mr. Veers has selected a young stallion that will be
the most valuable addition to the breeding ranks of
Australia ever sent from these shores.

News From the North

Horse Market is Healthy.

An evidence of the extremely healthy character of
the general horse market may be found in the price
brought by the gelding Roy M. at the Splan sale held
last week in Chicago. For this gelding with a record
of 2:142- fche sum of $6250 was obtained at auction, and
for tbe trotting mare May Allen 2:09J only $2800 was
bid. The gelding has a record of only 2:14}, as stated,
yet he brought more than the mare which is a member
of the most select of the speed circles. This fact is
that which indicates the excellent condition of the
demand. Roy M. got his mark last season on a halt-
mile track. It is not known that he can beat it very
much, but he is in other ways a most desirable trotter
and it rs generally understood that he was bought by
Geo. Ketcham to go to Walter Winans, the wealthy
American who made so much money railway building
in Russia and then settled in England to enjoy it while
yet in the heydav of his youth and vigor. If the
demand for trotters and pacers was merely for the
racing tool it is likely that May Allen would have out-
sold the geldiog, but she did not and that she did not
shows that the chief use of the American national
horse is not as the tool of gamblers and turfmen, but
as a contributor to the actual pleasure of those who
have the money to make it possible, in its change of
possessors, for the breeder to gain a competency for
himself. It is the custom of some apparent authori-
ties to decry the American national horse as the tool
of the gambler, and of use for nothing but to make
speculation possible, but the fact is that no greater
untruth was ever told. — Breeders Gazette.

Sweet Marie Trots in 2:12.

At a matinee held by the Los Angeles Driving Club
last Saturday, Mr. William Garland drove his recent
purchase Sweet Marie by McKinney, a second heat in
2:12, thus giving this handsome trotting mare a new
matinee record. The race was a friendly match with
Mr. Ed win Earl's pacer Sweetheart. The Los Angeles
Herald thus describes the race:

"On the second scoring for the first heat they got
away on even terms, Sweet Marie having the pole.
At the first turn she drew slightly ahead, but did not
show daylight. At the first quarter, which was made
in 334, Sweetheart had overcome this trifling advan-
tage. Immediately after passing the quarter Sweet-
heart went in the air, losing about 100 yards before
regaining her feet. Mr. Garland eased Sweet Marie
until Sweetheart was within good striking distance
and, as they turned into the stretch, a pretty finish
seemed more than possible. The pacer was still un-
steady, however, and broke again shortly after
straightening out for the wire. Sweet Marie came in
unextended in 2:18.'

"The second heat was evenly contested. Through-
out neither horse making a skip in the entire distance.
Scoring up rapidly they got away in full stride and on
even terms. The pair traveled like a team to the half
mile when Sweet Marie went to the fore and main-
tained her lead to the wire. Coming down the stretch
under a hard drive Sweetheart made a gallant but
unavailing effort to overhaul her fleet adversary. The
time by quarters was 33}, 1:05, 1:39 and the mile in
2:12, the last quarter being trotted in thirty-three
seconds. This establishes a new matinee record for
Mr. Garland's speedy mare."

[Portland Rural Spirit.]

W. L. Whitmore brought down a carload of drivers
from his May view farm last week and is selling them
on the market here.

Thos. S. Griffith has withdrawn his green pacer J.
P.Adams from sale and placed him in John Lance's
stable to be trained for the races.

Geo. Peringer has entered his trotter Mt. Hood 2:20*
in the Grand Circuit. He will make his first start at
Denver in June, going from there on East.

H. H. Helman says the business outlook for his stal-
lions Boodle, Oro Guy and Alton B. is very good.
Quite a number have booked their mares to one or the
other of these stallions, and no one ever goes away
from the stable without leaving an order.

John Pender has taken the Jones family to the Fair
Grounds. He left this week with Capt. Jones, Oliver
Jones, Bessie Jones, Gipsy Jones and Black Rascal and
will be located at the Fair Grouuds the balance of the
season, where Capt. Jones will be kept in the stud.
The rest of the youngsters taken are all sired by Capt.
J ones and Mr. Pender requests and cordially invites
all prospective breeders to call at the Fair Grounds and
see this family of Jones before breeding elsewhere.

J. B. Stetson of Boise, Idaho, writes: "I am glad to
report that our fair ground plant is being rushed right
along. The track survey is completed and the build-
ings on the old ground are nearly torn down. Con-
tracts will be let this week for the grading of the
track and in fact every thing will be pushed to the
front. The old track has been put in fairly good shape
for eai"ly work and we are starting the horses up a
little already. I have just received a Nebraska bred
mare that has the ear marks of a good green trotter.
She is by Pelleteir, son of Lord Russell, and bel-
dam is by Counsellor 2:21 by Onward. She is a very
racy looking brown mare with a good way of going."

Geo. E. Peringer was in Portland this week and says
the horses at Pendleton are stepping along some this
spring. The weather and track up there has been
ideal for early training and the boys have some of
their stables ready to race. Mr. Peringer has in his
stable, in charge of A. E. Holler, Mt. Hood 2:20J: a
green trotter by Westfield; one by Bhodoker, and a
green pacer by Hambletonian Mambrino. James
Erwin is working on the same track, Ollie M., (2) 2:191;
Starkey 2:151; Oregon Sunshine, three year old pacer
by Bonner N. B.; a green pacer by Chehalis; two green
trotters and the two year old Easter Ana entered in
the $1500 stake at the Oregon state fair. B. F. Swag-
gart of Heppner, has a lot of two and three year old
runners on the track, which he is training for the
North Pacific circuit.

A istocrat is tbe name of a green pacer owned at
Village Farm that Ed Geers is naming in the slow
pacing classes this year. He is said to be very fast.
H sire is the California bred horse Athanio 2:10, now
1 i of the European star trotters.

The St. Paul Driving Club.

W. G. Carling, a gentleman of solid financial stand-
ing, is at the head and front of the St. Paul club
this year and with ample support and assistance
promised by the business men of the Saintly City Mr.
Carling has prepared a most entertaining card for the
meeting which follows the Minneapolis dates in the
Great Western Circuit. With a view to attracting
the best campaigners out early in the season, St. Paul
and Minneapolis united on a program making all heat
races best two in three and nearly doubling the purse
offerings of all previous years. The St. Paul meeting
will be held over the State Fair course at Hamline,
Minn., and there is but a six mile drive between it and
the Minnehaha course at Minneapolis.

Mr. Lawson's Experience.

Writing to the American Horse Breeder, Mr. Lawson
says: "It may be of interest to your readers to know
the result of my effects in securing four Ponce de
Leons and Dare Devils. It certainly was both inter-
esting and instructive to me, as it demonstrated beyond
question that there is profit in breeding, provided you
breed right. My advertisements seemed to have been
i-ead by the owner of every son and daughter of both
stallions, of which tbere are about fifty or sixty, and
when I was through negotiating I found it was impos-
sible to buy four young Dare Devils at any price I
considered reasonable. I was willing to pay, and, in
fact, offered $12,000, or an average of $3000 apiece, but
could not secure them for less than $20,000.

"Does this prove the American trotting industry is
in good condition or not — $3000 apiece for four un-
marked two and three year old trotting horses with
only their individuality and breeding to base prices on?
Well, I was obliged to give it up, although I could
have secured two fair specimens, one at $2500 and one
at $3000, but it was necessary for me to have four to
show for the herd prize.

"I was more fortunate with Ponce de Leons, solely
because Mr. Daly's death threw a number of yearlings
and two year olds into the open market last fall, and
their buyers, having had no opportunity to test their
speed, could not refuse good profits. I bought six in
all. three in a bunch from John C. Kinney, and it goes
without saying I was obliged to pay pretty stiff prices

prices which would enrich any breedar if he could

secure them for a few years, and I would not have
vour readers run away with the idea that I paid any
more than was necessary. They can judge when I say
that one of my offers of $3500 and another of $3000
were refused for two two year olds, the holding price
of their owners being $5000 and $7500. You will make
no mistake, Mr. Editor, if the Breeder continues to
ding it into the heads of its readers that there is profit
in trotting horse breeding if you breed right."

HIDALGO'S GOSSIP.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

The two mile race at Oakland on Saturday was won
by Xones, the horse that ran second in the Burns
Handicap (aDd who should have won it) beating Sid-
dons, the winner of the Thornton Stakes at four miles,
run three weeks previously. The time was 3:28, just
a second slower than Newton's i'ace at Chicago in
1895, but Nones was just the same age as Newton and
carried a much heavier rider. Really the best race at
that distance is that of Carbine (by Musket) for the
great Melbourne Cup ot 1890, for he covered the dis-
tance In 3:28$, with 145 lbs. on his back and in a field of
39 horses, a fact not to be overlooked by intelligent
turfmen. The second horse in that race was High-
born, a six year old gelding, with 98 lbs. up: and the
third was the St. Leger winner Correze, thre~- years
old, with 105, all of which details only serve to show
the accuracy of the handicap. Carbine is now owned
in England, where his sons and daughters are getting
their full share of the public olunder. Mr. Edward
Corrigan has recently imported two of his daughters
into America.

I do not think the owner of Siddons, who came
second at Oakland on Saturday, can have any excuse
to offer for his defeat. He was in receipt of 7 lbs. from
the winner, of his own age, and it is impossible that
he could now be sore from his big race of three weeks
ago, for he was never fully extended at any part of
that effort. I do not presume to dictate, but I do
believe that if the Oakland track would cut down the
Burns to $5000 and make the Waterhouse a $10,000
race, just as the Burns Handicap now is, with a pro-
vision that it should be run between the 10th and 20th
of March, they would have twice as big a crowd as
went over to see the Thornton Stakes run and a much
better contest for the money. I do not seek to dictate
to any man of Mr. T. H. Williams' experience in racing
but merely offer a suggestion for what it is worth, be-
lieving that he will be thankful for it, whether he
adopts it or not. The Melbourne Cup was established
in 1866 and in all the long years that have lapsed since
1872, the smallest field that has started for it was 22.
Ten years ago I begged Mr. Brewster to revive the
Washington Park Cup and make it a handicap, but he
said he would have a Board of Directors to fight, if
he did; and so the thing "died a-bormn'," as the gen
tleman from Pike would say.

It is getting to be a very hard question to answer,
as to which is the best two year old in California.
Some say Sylvia Talbot, some Maxine, Some Orfeo
and others the oft-beaten Deutschland. Alsono also
has good claims in that direction, but on Saturday he
was beaten by Honiton, a moderately good colt, at
even weights and Deutschland came third. I am glad
I was not at the poolroom that day, or I should have
backed Deutschland. He is bred just to my own liking,
being by imp. Sain (thao whom there is no better bred
horse in America, if as good) out of Denfargilla by old
blind Onondaga, who was the only stallion between
B75 and 1900 to have to hi3 credit the winners of 170
races in a single season, except Sir Mod red, whose get
won 211 in 1894. The next dam is by Buckdeu, son of
Lord Clifden, the St Leger winner of 1853; and if
Buckden had not died comparatively young, Capt.
Cottrill would have broken every bookmaker between
the Gulf of Mexico and the North Pole. The next dam
was by Jack Malone, who beat Fanny McAllister in
the fastest race of twe-mile heats ever run south of the
Ohio river, in 1862, when the war clouds hung over
the land, and the next is Vesper Light by Cbilde
Harold. She produced Vandalite by Vandal; and
Vandalitc won both the Dixie and Breckinridge Stake
at Baltimore, being the only horse to win both, as the
winner of the Dixie had to put up ao-lb. penalty in the
Breckenridge, a task to which such cracks as Monitor
and Hubbard were unequal. There were twenty odd
stallions imported into the United Stateslast year from
England, some of which I have a great fancy for and
others not so much. But, if "you hear my gentle
voice," I shall never go over to England to purchase a
stallion while lean find an American horse whose
breeding suits me as well as that of Deutschland, the
property of Monsieur Barrenbard de Scnreiberio.

I bought some books the other day from the widow
of an old friend now deceased. Among them are six
volumes of the English Sporting Magazine from 1829 to
1835, both years inclusive. They are devoted to field
sports as much as to racing, but there are portraits of
Margrave, St. Giles, The Colonel, Cadiand, Glaucus
and no end of cracks of that period. The handsomest
one in the lot is The Colonel, from whose male line
came the great Abercorn, the best horse I ever saw;
and next to him comes Glaucus, who won the Ascot

Cup '21 miles) at 2 o'clock and the Eclipse Foot (3
miles) on the same day and both of them in a common
canter. Yet Glaucus is a horse of whom nobody sees
any mention in modern pedigrees. I looked at his
picture and then called to mind a remark of the late
Hon. James White, of Australia. He said : "My dear
sir, we breed race horses every year, but we only breed
sires two or three times in a century." No better
proof of his wisdom can be found than the history of
that same horse, the big and beautiful Glaucus.

There is talk of a race meeting here during Fiesta
week, but I am like the man whom old Captain Noah
offered to take aboard of the Ark, " I don't think it
will be much of a shower." The truth is that, while
our city is full of Eastern tourists and all our hotels
crammed to the verge of suffocation, the class of peo-
ple who come out here as climate refugees and wait
for the Fiesta before going home, are not race-going
people by any means. They all come from the States
of the Upper Mississippi Valley and are eternally hunt-
ing up bargain counters. That's not the kind of peo-
ple to patronize the "sport of kings," or render it
profitable. A baker with whom I have done more or
less business in the past eight years, tells me that there
are seventy-two restaurants in this city serving meals
at fifteen cents, as against forty-seven in 1900. You
never saw such a lot of "barbaric yawps" as some of
these Kansas and Nebraska people are. They had an
automaton piano player in one of the Broadway music
stores, one day last week and the police had to come
along and drive the people away from in front of the
window where they stood and stared like so many
stuck pigs. For a while it blocked the whole sidewalk
and crowded passers-by into the middle of the street.
Racing at Los Angeles will never pay, if it has to
depend upon the patronage of that element. The
managers of our local racetrack are pretty well aware
of that fact and hence, if they give an Agricultural
Fair in September next, they will content themselves
with that and small blame to them. Hidalgo.

Improvements at Brighton Beach.

Brighton is to have one of the handsomest, best
appointed and most commodious club houses that can
be boasted of by any race track between the Atlantic
and the Pacific. Only two weeks ago President Enge-
man made public the plans for a new field stand which
will be second to none on the Metropolitan Circuit.
Last week he gave out plans lor a club house which is
to enhance the beauty of the always popular course by
the sea. The new club house will be chaste in design
and will be calculated to please the best patrons of the
sport in which Brighton has played such a prominent
part and to which it has contributed so much — in
money and in sport.

In this new turf home nothing that can contribute
to the comfort of race-goers or the convenience of
horsemen and jockeys will be lacking. It will have a
frontage of 100 feet and will occupy a location just
east of the grand stand, with which it will be connected
by an elevated walk so that its patrons may pass from
the grand stand with ease and comfort. It will be
three stories in height and will be situated so that the
occupants of its broad double decked veranda may have
a good view of every race run. The offices of the asso-
ciation, with well lighted rooms for owners and trainers
and jockeys, will be on the first floor. On the second
floor there will be a large cafe and reception room with
a sloping veranda which will accommodate 500 persons,
and on the third floor there will be well appointed
parlors and dining rooms with the numerous comforts
which will go to make an afternoon's outing enjoyable
for the wives and sisters and daughters of the men
who may have the privilege of wearing members'
badges. Adjoining the jockeys' room will be a large
pool with a shower bath and the whole will be finished
in tile and Italian marble. The interior will be finished
in hardwood throughout.

On the ocean side of Brighton's new home there will
be a large porte cochere, with a stairway direct to the
second floor for the convenience of those who may
drive to the course. The total cost of the improve-
ments planned will amount to $65,000. The contract
for the building of the club house has been given to
Daniel Ryan, of Brooklyn, who will break ground this
week. Mr. Frank Quinby is the architect.

The new club house, with the site of a new paddock
which is under consideration, will permit President
Engeman to wipe nut the old offices and also to fulfill
a long cherished design of landscape decoration, which
will make the approaches to the grand stand and club
house most attractive.

President Engeman does not propose to stop with
the erection of a new field stand and club house,
although these improvements would make the new
Brighton, founded and built by him, well nigh com-
plete He has in mind a paddock which will be a
model and the plans for which will be completed
shortly. The new Brighton, which will be in readi-
ness fur theopeoine- of the twenty-fourth annual meet-
ing on July 5th, will be a revelation to race-goers.

Tiverton a Great Road Horse.

The bay trotter, Tiverton 2:23} by Gallileo Rex,

owned by Mr. A. B. Gwathmey of New York, is now
considered one of tne greatest of the speedway horses.
The New York Evening 1 >1 March 27th thus

describes a scene on that celebrated speedway on the
lay before:

Mr. A. B. Gwathmey and his bay trotter, Tiverton,
by Galileo Rex 2:12|, were the most prominent winners
at the speedway yesterday. Many h.ive expressed the
opinion from time to time, that Tiverton was really
the standard bearer in Mr. Gwathmey's stable and
that he was a very formidable candidate for the speed-
way championship should the owner decide to enter
the lists. The performances of the gelding yesterday
.certainly justified the opinion that he can hold his own
with any trotter that has so far appeared this season.
j Tudor Chimes 2:13, with the trainer, John Howell,
.up, worked two heats with Tiverton, but was not
prominent at the finish of either. Mr. Howell explained
that he did not get away in either brush in position to
make a race. Later Tiverton was started against fcte
brown trotter Kiogwood 2:17}, driven by George A.
Coleman, but when the battle waxed warm Kingwood
lost his balance. Then J. J. Timmins, behind Harry
Davis 2:26A, joined in with Tiverton, but he never got
within a length of the leader as the two neared the
finish.

Mr. John F. Cockerill, behind Swift 2:155, was
among the late arrivals, and he promptly tackled Mr.
Gwathmey and his champion, only to be added to the
list of beaten ones. Swift got away like a winner, and
at the quarter mile post he was still leading. When
Mr. Gwathmey called on Tiverton for more speed the
response came promptly, and soon the two horses
were on even terms Mr. Cockerill worked hard to
turn impending defeat into victory, but Tiverton
came with a rush at the finish and won by fully a
length.

A Promising Pair of Fast Ones.

Mr. Frank Work of New York, who has always
taken pride in double harness performances, has put
Black Robert 2:13i and Peter Stirling 2:111 together,
and Mr. David Bonner, who has driven them a number
of times, is of the opinion that they will make a great
pole pair. Peter Stirling, who won the Kentucky
Futurity last October in 2:13, 2:11$, 2:14, is a chestnut
gelding, with level head, and he has grown consider-
ably during the winter. He is by Baronmore 2:14}
son of Baron Wilkes and May Wagner by Strathmore)
out of Medio by Cooper Medium (son of Happy
Medium), she out of Topsey by Mambrino King, and
she out of a daughter of Grey Eagle, the four-mile
race horse. This is stout breeding. Black Robert is a
black gelding, 7, by McRoberts (son of Robert Mc-
Gregor) out of Medio, dam of Peter Stirling 2:11 J and
Marbel2:14, and he has a race record of 2:135. He
also is well behaved on the road, and has as much
speed as his distinguished half brother. As both
geldings have good mouths and are gaited alike, the
probabilities are that Mr. Work will be sble to show
a very fast mile with them to pole before the close of
the season. — Turf, Field and Farm.

In Santa Clara waters feefty miekle fish,

Bids the angler-brothers lie.

To streams ye cast so weel,
Where a twa dozen gude fish

And speed the hours when we shall meet

And fish the streams again.

So take your rods and all
To the streams I needna' name.

Where mony pleasures wait us—
Where the willow creel is hame.

Fish Lines.

Louis Smith, a Napa angler, nnmbered among his
catch on the 2nd inst., a trout measuring sixteen inches
long. He caught mostof his fish near the "Traneas."

The season opened favorably at Reno, Nevada. Last
Friday many fine catches were made and all the anglers
reported the river in fine shape for fishing. Big trout
from the lakes are now running in large schools.

Rector canyon must be a good trout stream this year
Thursday, April 3d, John Jacobs and John Saunders'
two Napa sportsmen, caught 1S2 of the speckled
beauties from its waters. The fish averaged six inches
in length and were fat and fine.

of last week two anglers caught 150 fish near Kiefer's
on the La Honda. Seven of these fish weighed eleven
pounds, the largest odb measured over eighteen inches
in length.

One thousand trout in two days is the phenomenal
record made by a quartet of fishermen on Smith's
creek, near Mount Hamilton, this week. The party
consisted by William Kerr, John Geoghegan, Walter
Kerr and John French of San Jose, and they returned
on the 5th inst. from their outing. This is the largest
catch made in Santa Clara in many years.

In the large mess of fish were many magnificent
specimens of trout. According to the fishermen
Smith's creek is teeming with trout. They were the
first on the creek.

Trout fishing is reported good in all the streams of
the county, due undoubtedly to the large numbers
planted in recent years and the protection afforded
the streams by the Fish and Game Protective Asso-
ciation.

Many Petaluma anglers were on favorite streams on
the opening day. Sport promised well until the rain
came at an early hour and spoiled the fishing.

Nearly all of the anglers say that every stream
showed evidences of having been fished for weeks.
Numerous evidences of recent lunches and well beaten
paths in the soft earth along the streams told the tale.

Captain Fred Walker took forty-six fair sized fish
out of Novato creek.

Dr. George Lovejoy and F. Peters brought in twenty-
three. M. Giacomini and E. A. Allen brought in
twelve from Carriger creek. Mr. Allen hooked a
young salmon which broke his rod and put him out of
commission for the rest of the day. J. E. Warren, of
San Francisco, brought in three fish and gave them
away. E. E. Drees caught a cold. C. F. Northrup
got a soaking and no record could be obtained of his
other catch. J. Smith brought back nine trout.
Messrs. Sweed and Palmer landed eleven at Xicasio
creek. C. Johnson's catch was not recorded. Scores
of anglers whipped the streams, but indignantly denied
that they were out.

A representative delegation of Napa anglers were
on the brooks and streams throughout that vicinity
the first day of the open season for trout. Unfortu-
nately for the fishermen but not so for the fish, the
weather was unpropitious and the water was too high
for many large catches. The aDglers also state that
although the trout are loDg enough they seem to be
unusually thin and ''poor" for some reason or other.

A party consisting of Lester Drake, Channing Mans-
field, T. A. Bell and Robt. Little, went up to Sage
canyon. Between them they extracted 191 members
of the finny tribe from their cool retreats.

L. E. Johnston and Walter West fished about the
lower end of Sage and caught fifty-six between them.
The heavy downpour of rain interfered greatly with
their day's sport.

Lyman Chapman and Chas. Levansaler are reported
to have hooked 27 from the stream in the Napa red-
woods.

W. G. Thompson and Herbert Sawyer got 26 out of
tbe Chiles creek.

Jake Breitenstein didn't go so far from home. He
fished from the mouth of Napa creek up a little ways
and had a basket of 18 large ones to show for it.

Jack Callinan whipped Dry Creek and induced
IS trout to come home with him.

The angler is by many a very much misunderstood
individual, particularly so by those who do not believe
that a decent drink is part of an angler's outfit, and in
this, it must be acknowledged that errors creep into
the minds of many in that connection. They are not
wanting who assert that anglers draw on their
imagination for their fish and on whisky for their
imagination; the error has actually found lodgment
in the realms of art, as the following instance will
prove: James Markland, who will leave this city for
Nome next month where he will open a public house,
ordered among other attractive articles he proposes
to take with him, an elaborate work of art for the
adornment of his prospective barroom. The artist in
due time finished the picture and this week sent it to
Butler's symposium. The painting was at once hung
in a conspicuous place and submitted to the critical
view of the wholesale district sportsmen and many
others who were invited to be present at its uncover-
ing. When the work of art was disclosed it was found
to represent an angler in full fishing costume — cordu-
roy suit, wading boots, a east of flies around his hat,
over his shoulder a basket and rod case, in his left
hand a landing net and in his right hand a full sized
whisky bottle, nearly empty. Markland was some-
what surprised, and said: " I've seen others do it, but
surely an angler doesn't go up and down a stream
with a bottle of whisky in his hand !" The painter
replied severely, " Doesn't he ? Well, all I can say Is
that you have never seen some of the real ane-lers on
the Paper Mill."

San Gregorio and La Honda creeks are reported to
be swarming with fish. On Wednesday and Tuesday

Net Fishing Prohibited in Marin County.
An ordinance was passed by the Marin County Board
of Supervisors on Thursday which prohibits net fish-
ing or the use of seines in Petaluma creek and Paper
Mill creek above Point Reyes. This law will virtually
prohibit net fishing in the streams of the county
This necessary enactment will meet with the approval
of every sportsman in the State. It is now possible
that a long continued abuse will be put a stop to ere
some of the most enjoyable trout streams in the State
are ruined by poachers.

Paper Mill Notes.

Sax Francisco, April 8, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— The hundred
and one anglers who visited the Paper Mill creek on
the opening day, April 1st, will never forget the
pleasures they enjoyed. Trout, and big fellows at that,
were in great evidence. On the return trip everybody
had fish, not an emoty creel from that perennial
famous fishing stream. It was immaterial at what
station along the line the angler alighted, he got fish.
Such sport has not been enjoyed in ten years. Trout
ranging from a quarter pound fish to ten pounders,
were taken in great numbers in the tide waters near
Point Reyes station. Many fish were also hooked and
then lost on account of defective tackle.

When fishing for steelhead trout in our Coast
streams it should always be remembered that the
chances of hooking 'on to a big fish the first tew weeks
of the season are good. The angler should therefore,
be at all times prepared with good tackle. Money
generally is a secondary consideration where good
sport is anticipated, then why not have good tackle.
It is just as easy to have a strong leader as a poor one,
and in the end much more economical.

In the White House pool tidewater near Point
Reyes, the last stop on the Paper Mill creek, Messrs.
Butler and Battu, two well known anglers, who have
been fishing for the past twenty-five years, regret ex-
ceedingly that they did not pay more attention to
their tackle, preparatory to going to Point Reyes for
the opening day. They each lost three fish, big ones
they were. Had they given the proper attention to
their tackle, their long experience and angling abilities
would have stood them in hand and the novices who
were out for experience and information would not
have left the fishing grounds disgusted.

The following Saturday one hundred anglers again
whipped the Paper Mill with varying success and on
Sunday morning another hundred followed, making
about 200 anglers to some eighteen miles of fishing
grounds. Providence, however, was unkind both to
angler and trout, a heavy rainstorm came on about
8:30 Sunday morning and continued all day, much to
the discomfiture of the sportsmen, who had to hunt
cover and keep out of the wet uotil train time. A few
however braved the storm and got a good drencbing
for their temerity, and no fish. By the time the train
pulled out from Point Reyes the Paper Mill creek bad
risen about a foot and was the color of pea-soup, which
condition will stop the fishing for a few days. It is a
question now which is greatly disturbing the anglers
whether the fish have gone up stream, remained in the
pools at Point Reyes or returned to the ocean.

It is very unusual to have such a severe storm the
first week of April in California.

The following sportsmen have signified their intention
of visiting Point Reyes to-day and to-morrow, believ-
ing that the fish have remained in the pools, from
which so many fish were taken on the opening day:
John Butler, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Wyman and friends,
Frank Marcus, Dr. W. E. Brooks, J.'B. Kenniff, Frank
Maskey, Louis Homier, James Watt, Bert Spring,
Frank Dolliver and Charles Precht.

"Jock Scott."

Grand American Handicap.

The winner of the Grand American Handicap proved
to be Mr. H. C. Hirschy of Minneapolis. One of thirty-
three straight in the main event.

Hirschy Dot only won the Grand American Handi-
cap, but including the miss and out, he placed to his
record a score of seventy-eight straight birds for this
event, and a grand total of 102 for the week, having
grassed everyone since the tournament began on Mon-
day morniDg. When Hirschy killed his last bird his
fellow shooters swarmed around him and bore him
from the field on their f houlders.

The handicap winner is a short, rather thin young
man and in sporting parlance a great "jollier."
Hirschy is a clever wood engraver and has the stock
of his Smith gun carved into all manner of fanciful
designs. He formerly traveled for the Hazard Powder
Company, but of late he has been representing the
Hunter Arms Company on the road. Hirschy for-
merly made a practice of traveling all over the north-
west to the various tournaments aDd he'was a welcome
visitor wherever he might care to go — a genial sports-
man, a good loser and a good fellow generally. All
who know him are glad he won the handicap.

Harvey McMurchy and Phil Bekeart, who both
arrived in town on Thursday from Kansas City, are
jubilant over the wins of the Smith gun, the three
high guns in the main event being of that make.

Weather conditions put the local meD out of shoot-
ing form. McMurchy shot straight in the Kansas City
Handicap. He had sixteen straight in the main race
and was the last man to shoot on Thursday when he
missed four birds straight — Mac could not see his
birds it being too dark. This was indeed hard luck.
Feudner was one of the straights in the Nitro-Powder
Handicap. Phil Bekeart made a clean score on the
last day in the Missouri Handicap event at twelve
birds. J. E. Vaughn of Santa Ana did some good
shooting also, being straight in several of the minor
races.

The Colusa Blue Rock Shooting Club held their first
shoot Friday, April 4th. They chose sides and shot
one team against the other. The first match was at
ten birds per man and resulted as follows:

A. Ahlf 4, T. HarriDgton 5, B. H. Mitchell 1, J. M.
Jones 4; total 14. J. H. Porter 5, M. E. Phillips 6, W.
M. Harrington 9, E. C. Barrell 0; total 20.

The next match was at five birds each as follows:

A. Ahlf 5, J. H. Porter 5, W. M Harrington 3, J.
M, Jones 0: total 13. T. Harrington 4. M. E. Phillips
5, W. B. DeJarnatt 4, Dr. Cason 2; total 15.

W. M. Harrington did the best individual shooting,
breaking nine out of his first ten targets.

shot straight scores and divided 845 of the club purse
and the regular monthly cup tropoy or its equivalent
in value. Ed. Donohoe, C. C. Nauman, Dr. A. M.
Barker of San Jose, P. J. Wands, H. Justins, "Slade,"
Jos. J. Sweeney, A. M. Shields, C. C. Nauman, Ed.
Donohoe, Dr. A. T. Derby and N. H. Neustadter each
scored eleven pigeons and divided the remaining portion
of the purse. After the regular club shoot an eight
bird pool race was shot out. C. A. Haight, George H.
T. Jackson and J. M. Wheeler each killed the score
limit neatly and cleverly. In a fifteen bird pool, Jack-
son was again high man with a score of fourteen birds.
Five shooters indulged in double bird shooting after
the foregoing race. But one straight score in the first
race at three pair of pigeons, Dr. Barker getting both
birds each time. The traps are loaded with two pigeons
instead of one when they shoot "doubles" at Ingleside.
The principal scores made on Sunday are the following:

The California Wing Club live bird shoot on Sunday
last was conducted under most adverse we .ther con-
ditions. Rain and a heavy wind played havoc with a
number of scores. So heavily did the wind blow that
several pigeons which were killed were carried by the
wind for over forty yards and dropped dead out. Tail-
enders, after being stopped, would be blown back by
the severe southeaster to the 26-yard peg in front of
the traps. Will Golcher killed a bird that under any
other circumstances would easily have dropped near
No. 2 trap, but instead was blown in by the wind and
dropped exactly into his hands.

In the regular monthly club shoot at twelve pigeons,
W. J. Golcher, C. A. Haight and G. H. T. Jackson

A communication from Secretary Wm. Mersfelder
reports that the opening shoot at blue rocks of the
Millwood Gun Club was held at their new grounds at
Manzanita, Sunday. April 7th; heavy winds and rain
prevailed all day and consequently made shooting very
difficult. The club badge, which is to be contested for
at 25 birds each month, is a perpetual prize, being won
only from month to month. It was won Sunday by
W. H. Price. The John K. Orr silver cup is to be con-
tested for at six monthly club shoots, 25 birds, high
gun stepping out each shoot and at the expiration of
six months or at close of season high guns will shoot
off. We have a full membership of twenty-five mem-
bers and a waiting list of six more. The scores in the
badge and cup matches were respectively as follows:

E. Moldrup 18 (badge), 24 (cup); E. L. Head 15-16,
S. C. Nash 17-23, E. A. James 10-w, F. B. Turpin 15.
A. L. McLeod 10-w, Charles Kewell 15-20, R. H. Van
Norden 15-20, W. H. Price 19-22, J. Newlands 12-w,

C. Ashlin 20, W. L. Arnold 17-24, W. Mersfelder 17-22.
The tie between Arnold and Moldrup was shot off at

five birds, Arnold winning on a straight, Moldrup lost
his last bird.

The Fresno Gun Club members on March 30th in-
dulged in both a live bird and blue rock shoot. In
the first pigeon race at 10 birds, Judge St. John,
O'Neil and George Stone killed straight; Holdsclaw,

D. Dismukes and Frank Fanning, 9 each: Nelson and
Delehanty grassed 7 each.

In the second event at 12 birds, George Stone killed
11. Frank Fanning 10, Holdsclaw and Dismukes 9, and
St. John, Nelson and Delhanty 8.

The regular blue rock shoot shows the scores as
follows:

Fanning 14, 18, 19, 16, 12, 19; St. John 17, 16, 16, 16,
16, 16; Dismukes 17. 17, 14. 17, 17, 17; O'Neill 17, 18, 16,

J. Wotton 12; Bradley 15, 15; Eilert 13, 10, 11, 17; Col
lier 16, 13.

A practice shoot of the Chico Gun Club took place
at the race track grounds Sunday afternoon, despite
the fact that the rain was falling in torrents a greater
portion of the afternoon. There were present besides
several members of the club, six members of the Oro-
ville club, Messrs. Godfrey, King, Demon, Johnson,
Frost and Will. All but the latter took part in th"e
shooting. The scores made were as follows, the firtt
number given being the number of blue rocks thrown
for each and the latter the number broken:

Godfrey 70-37, King 60-46, Damon 70-48, A. Johnson
70-57, Frost 50-54, G. Johnson 80-69, Brooks 50-42,
Richmond 60-47, Loshbough 70-52, McManus 30-21,

lady. The Philadelphia Dog Show Association offers
one of their medals for the best St. Bernard, the best
English Satter, the best Field Spaniel and the best
Poodle in show. A cup, furthermore, is offered for
the best Great Dane to be judged by two of her get
and to be won three times before becoming the prop-
erty of one exhibitor. • Also a cup for the best Cocker
Spaniel whelped in the year previous to being ex-
hibited, and the same to be won three times before
becoming the property of one exhibitor. This meaDS

are eligible, while next year all those born in 1902, and
so on, will come in competition. The program for the

sidio, and other points of interest in San Francisco. The
Locomobile Company of the Pacific Coast will furnish
vehicles. At 8 P. M., the judging of Greyhounds in
competition for the President's cup offered by Mr. A.

tributed by San Francisco artists for the benefit of the
Charity Fund, of which posters a most interesting
collection has been delivered to the officers of the
club, will close the Sixth Annual Dog Show of the San
Francisco Kennel Club.

We learn that Mr. G. M. Carnochan and Mrs. Carno-
chan and Mr. A. P. Vredenburgh, the Secretary of
the American Kennel Club, left New York on the 10th
inst. They will go, first, to Srattle as the guests of
Mr. Redelsheimer, the President of the Pacific Kennel
League, thence to Portland where they will attend
the Portland Kennel Club Show, and will reach San
Francisco on or about the 21st inst. It is also under-
stood that Mr. Fred Mansell from London, England,
who is judging at Portland next week, will be a visitor
at this Show. At all events the courtesies of the San
Francisco Kennel Club have been extended to him.

Entries to the Portland Show closed on Wednesday

Entries for the Sacramento Show close on May 6th.

The officers of the California State Kennel Club are
William Halley, President; B. W. Cavanagh, Vice-

The premium list for the Sacramento show provides
for 214 classes. The regular prizes are silver medals
for first and second and diplomas for third. The list
of specials ranges from cups and cash prizes to various
articles donated by fanciers and business men of Sac-
ramento.

They should, and doubtless will, be well patronized
by fanciers outside of Sacramento. The dates set,
May 13th to 16th, are most favorable to splendid
weather conditions. The bench show will be held
during the street fair and floral festival, thus ensuring
a large attendance at the doggy attraction of the fiesta.

An additional list of special prizes will appear in the
catalogue. A prize of $15 will be awarded to the
owner exhibiting the most dogs, over ten in number.
A second prize of $10 will be given to the winner show-
ing eight or over. The handler bringing the largest
string from without California will receive $15. The
California handlers showing the largest strings will
win $15 and $10. __^___

Victoria Bench Show.

The show in Victoria last week is claimed to hare
been the most successful ever held in that city. Some
200 dogs greeted the fanciers when the exhibition
opened on the 3rd inst. for a three day show under
P. K. L. rules. The attendance during the show was
good, we believe the Victoria Kennel Club came out on
the right side of the ledger.

The judging commenced on Thursday at 2 o'clock.
Mr. E. W. Davies, now of ChUliwack, filled the arduous
position of judge with general satisfaction.

Not a great many representatives of the larger
breeds were benched, there being but one Mastiff and
one St. Bernard in the show, but both were good
specimens. For some reason the St. Bernards, which
in former years were well represented, seem to have
dropped from favor, or those owning them are not
showing. There were more Great Danes, among them
being a beauty, Majo.-, owned by Mrs. Robert Duns-
muir. Major, although little more than a year old, is
a splendid looking animal. There was but two Grey-
hounds, and the same number of Chesapeake Bays,
while the best Pointers were from across the line.
The English Setter men, though, if they were not
satisfied they must be hard to please. There were 49
of these dogs benched, and a fine lot they were, coming
from every city of the Coast, some of them valued at
thousands of dollars. But with all the competition,
the Victoria dogs took the majority of the prizes, that
city now having some of the best dogs of this breed
on the continent. Among the visitors were Doe Hick,
the great field trial dog, owned by John Considine of
Seattle, valued at $5000, and R. M. Palmer's Rod field
Lad. The former is only on exhibition, but Mr. Con-
sidine had two entries fur the field trials class. Some
disappointment was expressed at the decision of C.
Minor not to enter Roy, Gladys and Zola Montez in
the show, as competition with the former would have
given the owners an idea of the standing of their dogs
among the American cracks with which he has com-
peted" Two of Zola Montez' pups were winners in
the puppy bitches class.

The sprightly Fox Terrier came next in point of
number entered, and among them 11 visitors from San
Francisco. There were 36 Fox Terriers in the show.

A fair lot of Irish and Gordon Setters were benched,
also Irish Water, Field, and Clumber Spaniels. The
Cockers, however, were numerous and a finer lot could
not be seen in the largest shows. They came from as
far south as San Mateo, Cal.,

There were some good Collies shown, but this breed
does not seem to be as popular as it was a few years
ago. Of terriers there were Bull Terriers, Boston,
Irish, Scotch and Bedlington Terriers; some Black and
Tans, including a bitch with a litter; Beagles, Sheep
Dogs, Malamootsand several in the miscellaneous class.

A great deal of interest was taken in the judging,
when the winning dogs in each class came together to
compete for th special prizes. Most of these went to
the other side of the line, but the Victoria dogs held
their own fairly well, and a few of the principal prizes
remain at home. Lacy Howard, Thomas Plimley's
famous English Setter, for exampie, captured the cup
for tbe best Setter of any breed in the show, also the
cup for the best English Setter and that for the best
English Setter bitch. Another notable win was that
of Mrs. Bradley-Dyne's Ch. Loyne Ruffian, a Scottish
Terrier, who won the cup for the best terrier of any
breed in the show. This is particularly satisfactory
to the owner, as the little Scotsman had some of the
best Fox Terriers on tbe Coast to compete against.

The winners of the prize offered handlers for the
greatest number of dogs brought to tbe show, were T.
J. Blithe, who won $15 for tbe largest number of dogs
from California; E. J. Willis, 815 for the largest num-
ber from Oregon, and C. H. Sweetzerand George Tinto
were awarded $15 for the largest number from Wash-
ington, having 24 and 23, respectively, and a dispute
arising as to whetherone dog from Vancouver handled
by Mr Sweetzer being included in the count, the club
decided to give both a prize. Mr. T. J. Blithe won the
prize of $10 for the greatest number of dogs exhibited
by one handler, having the California string under his
care. In all there were 88 dogs from Washington,
Oregon and California. All the handlers expressed
themselves well satisfied with the treatment they re-
ceived from the judge and the club.

The officers of the club this year are:

President, Hon. D. M. Eberts, M. P. P.; Vice-presi-
dent, J. W. Creighton: Hon. Secretary, T. P. Mc-
Connell; Hon. Treasurer, T. Plimley; Hon. Superin-

Practice With the Shotgun.

■ It has often been remarked that such and such a
person will never make a shot, and certainly, in many
instances, without a little help and judicious advice
the shooter's development is necessarily slow; but,
given moderateeyesight and a thorough determination
to practice, it is within the power of almost everyone
to become a moderate, if not an expert, exponent of
the art.

To commence with, a good, in fact, an excellent plan
is to follow the method employed in the army and
practice the aiming drill, which may be indulged in in
one's own dining-room if necessary, taking for targets
such things as picture nails, etc. This will accustom
the novice to bring the gun up to the shoulder in align-
ment with the object aimed at, and it is surprising
what benefit may be derived from this apparently
simple mode of procedure.

Having practiced thus for several days (not for
lengthy periods at a time), then a good plan is to
stand with uhe back towards the object to be aimed at,
and, turning quickly, endeavor to bring up the gun
correctly. When further advanced a good method is
to hang a small ball or bullet to the end of a string,
and follow it with the gun while swinging to and fro.

After considerable care and time have been expended
in this practice, there is no doubt that the novice, on
making his first appearance at a blue rock shoot, will
have acquired a certain confidence and will be able to
make a creditable show with slow birds; and while on
this subject of slow birds it is as well to call the atten-
tion of captains of clubs to this fact, and suggest that
there are not sufficient opportunities for the new
comer to practice at anything but the highly strung
traps used in competitions by the crack shots and first
class men. The fact of introducing a few traps of
moderate strength for the use of novices would be
found a great boon, and would greatly enhance the
reputation and membership of such clubs.

Having acquired say a moderate proficiency with
slow-going birds, then the fully strung-up traps should
be approached. The result will be, no doubt, some-
what disappointing, for misses will be frequent. The
reason, of course, is simple enough, for as the rapidity
of the flight is increased, so tbe velocity (or shall it be
said want of velocity) of the shot has to be allowed for.
Therefore, the shooter who begins practicing at rapid
birds, notwithstanding that he may appear to be
shooting perfectly straight, will find the shot very
much behind the object aimed at.

This allowance, or leading the object aimed at,
necessary to counteract the flight of the birds with the
velocity of the shot, is the very essence of the art of
shooting. Leading can only be learned through prac-
tice, but the common failing is not to allow enough,
and it can be taken as an invariable rule that five-
sixths of the birds that are missed are so missed on
account of sufficient allowance not having been made,
the shooter shooting more or less behind the object
aimed at.

The shooter now, after considerable practice — con-
siderable practice, mind, as the art is not to be acquired
without — will no doubt have obtained a proficiency
which at one time looked to be hopelessly out of his
reach. He will then seek for further fields to display
his prowess, whether it be at the whirring quail, the
dodgy rabbit or the wily pigeon, and if he should prove
himself a good man at the mud saucers, he need have
no fear in taking his place in the field, with perfect
confidence in his ability to hold his own and add his

full sbare to the spoil at the end of the day; for it has
been found that the man who is able to* shoot blue
rocks in first class form is certainly not likely to be
thought a duffer in the field. The" royal road, how-
ever, to shooting, after having mastered the theory of
allowance, or leading, is practice, and nothing but
practice.

The Bursting of Barrels.

Sportsmen cannot help being keenly interested in
the investigation of the cause or causes of gun ban-els
bursting while in their hands. Barrels do burst with
them occasionally, sometimes at the breech and some-
times at the muzzle, and fronva variety of causes other
than flaws in the metal. Obstructions, for instance,
may by carelessness become fixed in the tubes, result-
ing in bursts without any fault that can be put upon
the maker's shoulders. An overcharge of explosive
in the shells again also leads to bulging or bursting of
the barrels owing to the excessive pressure thereby
generated. Burstings at the breech must be occasioned
either by flaws or by great overcharges of powder,
and undoubtedly the majority of bursts nearer the
muzzle are caused by obstructions which may arise in
the barrels by an accidental filling of them up in
course of a day's shooting with mud, sand, snow, or
even undischarged portions of the wadd<ng or, where
a cheap and poorly made shell becomes loosened from
the metal base and remains in the barrel. There are
many things, then, besides flaws that may lead to the
bursting of barrels, for which gunmakers cannot
properly be regarded as responsible, and it may be
added that it is rather unreasonable to expecc them to
defray the expense of new barrels, where the old ones
have given away under a mucn severer strain, how-
ever occasioned, than they were ev^r built to stand.
Sportsmen should reflect that the proving of their
guns in terms of Government or other regulations at
the time of their manufacture should be held to have
relieved the makers of all further responsibility for
their reliability, especially under exceptionally severe
strains. Such strains, as have been noted, may be
caused either by over-loading or by obstructions set-
ting up abnormal pressures in perfectly sound barrels.
But with all our information as to the action of nitro-
compounds when carefully and properly loaded, we
are still greatly in the dark as to the effect of careless
loading of these explosives. In the millions of shells
fired every season there are certain to be found occa-
sionally the results of momentary neglect in loading,
which may cause abnormal pressures in the chambers
and perhaps further up the tubes. The chambers
may be able to withstand pressures that would be very
dangerous indeed further along the barrels, and par-
. ticularly near the muzzles. A pressing question here
forces itself to the front by the inquiry whether ab-
normal muzzle pressures can be produced by any pos-
sible system of loading, careless or otherwise. We
are not prepared to say that they cannot. A well-
known authority states that excessive ramming of
nitro compounds into the shells may compress them
into an almost solid mass, with the result that ignition
merely explodes a few of the grains of powder tearest
the primer-hole, and forces the unexploded grains and
the shot along the barrel, where they subsequently
explode with sufficient force to burst the gun near the
muzzle. It is possible that such a result might occur
with a soft-grained nitro, but the ramming would
have to be very hard indeed that could sufficiently
compress the hard-grained smokeless powders now
manufactured in this country, to give any such
unfavorable result.

Nothing is more encouraging to the
breeders of improved livestock than the
rapid increase of high grades upon the j
Western ranges. Less than twenty-five
years ago it was the exception to find pure
bred bulls at the head of the great beef
herds of Colorado, Montana, Wyoming,
Arizona and Texas, but to-dav the big
rancher who does not have all the way
from 20 to 200 blooded Hereford, Short-
horn or Angus bulls is away behind the
times. The wisdom of this course is ap-
parent in the splendid range steers now
going to the markets. Probably the
marking of the Herelord, the characteris-
tic white face, iB more common than anv
other, but whatever the breed used the
result is the same — quicker maturity, a
higher grade of beef, a greater percentage
of marke.able meat and greater profits in
the business.

There are in the United States 1,871,252
goats, of which Texas contains the largest
number, an aggregate exceeding one-third
of all the country. New Mexico contains
the next largest number with a total of
322,136. Exclusive of the kids leBS than
one year old, only a portion of the goats
are for mohair or goat hair, hence only
454,032 fleeces are reported, weighing
961,228 pounds of unwashed fiber. The
total value of the mohair is $267,864.

WM. G. LAYN8 IS IN THE LEAD.

Owing to the demands of the public that I board and keep Qne trotters and business horses
for sale, I have leased the premises known as the Fulton Scabies, 246 Third street, and con-
nected it with my well-known place, the Occidental Horse Exchange, and will hereafter
conduct the entire business under the latter name

I have room for over 200 horses, the finest of stalls, all on the ground Boor, where special
attention is paid their sanitation and ventilation. The large area of ground space, 120x
250 feet, gives me plenty of room for keeping horses in any manner desired, commodious box
stalls, fine tanbark ring and large enclosure to exercise horses in. A splendid entrance on
Third street (the busiest in San Francisco) and another on Clementina street in the rear,
give me opportunities for the reception and delivery of horses and vehicles unequaled by
any one in San Francisco

The fame of the Occidental Horse Exchange for holding auction sales of all kinds is
world wide and I intend to hold sales in the same manner as heretofore, with this excep-
tion : I will accommodate more horses and have the sales pavilion fitted up better than
heretofore. 1 have sold horses for the following, to whom I respectfully refer breeders and

QUINNS OINTMENT

FOR HORSES

stands at the head ofall veterinary remedies. Such troubles
as Spavins, Curbs, Windpuffs, Splints, Bunches have no

terrors for a horse if the master keeps and applies Quinn's Ointment. All

well known horsemen speak of it in the highest terms :

Miller «fc Sibley of Franklin, Pa., owners of St. Bel, brother of late Bel Boy, write, "We have
ceedQainn's Ointment with ^Teat success and believe it fulfills all claimed for it. "We cheer-
fully recommend it to oar friends." For Curbs, Splints, Spavins or Bunches it has no equal.

ereat'sirebf broodmares, Com. Belmont -1340, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2:18?i
Barona his second dam, is by Woodford's Manibrino &S1S4, and his third dam Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25, sire of Lula 2:15: fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at; he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S. Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26lh, a halt in 1:16, first quarter in 0:40!;, last
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot taster than
anycoltlever saw and doit easier. Walter s. maben.

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep him down for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top, and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,

132,000 Deaths from
this alone.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright's Disc? ^e.
Posted clubmen understand this so v* '1
that many have tests made every fe -
months. Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and Diabetes 3re increas-
ing at a fearful rate. The last census re-
ports show that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132,000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing thisone fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curable in about 87 ?£ of all cases. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

[Sao Francisco Examiner ]
Palo \lio Sloe* Farm, famous the world over is soon to be de-
voted to otter purposes than the breeding of horses. Mrs. Staniord
has issued oraers to Superintendent FrauU Covey to dispose of the

b There a1?? Jio horses at the farm, which will be disposed of at
public sale One of these will be lied at Cleveland in May one
at New York in the Mimuer and the last in Sacramento nest Sep-
tember. The stock embraces the trotting and ruontng get of well
known sires and dams »„.„„-,

In 1817 :n- lite Senator Leland Stanford purchased the old
Gordon place and founded what is now known as the Palo Alto
Stock Farm H> w^sa lover of the horse. The farm was managed
and sustained regardless of expense It never paid a profit Stan-
ford did not expect it would In the breeding of trotting stock the
farm has a name more noted than any other similar place in the
world. And in the breeding ot the runner Palo Alto has taken a

Senator Stanford obtained some of the best English stock. By
the cro-sing of the runner and the trotter there was developed in
the latter a strain of warmer blood, which improved speed and

Pato Alto Stock Farm is said to show a wrong balance on the

ledger of over 31.0Om.OOO since its inception, twenty-five years ago.

Since Senator Stanford's death the farm has not been so pros-

^Machor the celebrity of the farm is due to that great stallion
Electioneer, who died in December, 1S90 Stanford bought him in
New York State, and one of his get. Arion, was sold as a two year
old to Malcolm Forbes for 8I35.00Q. Electioneer was the sire of
SunoJ. who made the onee-famous record of 2:03H Robert Bonner
bought Sunol for &41.OJ0. Other great sons and daughters of elec-
tioneer were Arion, Bellflower, Bjnita. Bell Boy and Carrie C.
Ad bell, the champion yearling trotter whose record still stands,
was also sired by him

Palo Alto as a breeding place for running horses ranked very-
high Racine bred there, was the first horse to run a mile in 1:40
in a race. He was campaigned in the East by T. H. Williams Jr.
and is now in the stud in Maryland Flambeau also held a high
place as a racehorse and a producer of racehorses. His son. Cres-
cendo, was as good a two yt>ar old as was ever bred in California.

The land now occupied by the stock farm will be added to
Stanford University grounds.

The above article appeared in The Examiner of Wed-
nesday, March 5, 1902, page 5. It is not only mis-
leading-, but is the result of the writer being- so mis-
informed that he has written an article that will, in
the opinion of horsemen, I hope, seem ridiculous, and
will when facts are shown, prove to the public at laig-e
that the writer intended to do an iniury or else wrote
the article from his own imagination and did not go
to the proper authority to learn the true and existing
status before and after the passing away of the late
Senator Stanford, a man who did more for the ad-
vancement of the light harness horse than any other
in America.

In the first place the management Issued orders to
Superintendent Frank Covey to dispose of the blooded
stock. In the second place there are not twenty-three,
but twelve mares, to be taken care of a3 long as they
live. In the next place the name of one to be retained
is Mary Osborne, not May Osborne. It is also said, in
the article mentioned, that the farm was managed
and sustained regardless of expense, this is an error,
and d :iring the lifetime of Senator Stanford, from the
inception of Palo Alto Stock Farm to the time of his
joining the silent majority, everything necessary for
the development of spe^d was supplied, but the same
business methods were conducted that always were
part of his success in life, his belief that the best in the
end was the cheapest: the result of his achievements
in the breeding of both trotter and runner have
proved the intelligence of his judgment.

The statement that Palo Alto Stock Farm never
paid a profit, in a technical sense may be true, but in
the horse world there must be many things taken into
consideration regarding its success as a breeding farm
and the intention of its founder. It was not to make
money that Senator Stanford created Palo Alto, but
to produce the bast and fastest horses in America, the
result of his ideas of breeding and development. How
well he accomplished this the records of the trotting
and running turfs show conclusively. The fact that
he had bred the world's champions, yearling, two,
three, four and five year olds, the champion stallion,
the champion mare and the world's champion trotter,
also the champion running horse of America, was
worth millions to the great master mind who has
given to California and the world, so much in memory
of his beloved son, Leland Stanford, Junior, that he
has endeared himself in a memorial that will live for-
ever. Had he been a man seeking money for his life's
study in his great love for the horse, would he have
refused the fabulous sums he had been offered for
Advertiser, Palo Alto, Truman, Electricity, Hinda
Rose, Fred Crocker, Amigo, Rowena, and many other
trotters and the thoroughbreds, Racine. Flambeau,
imp. Gorgo, Flirtation, and other thorougbreds,
amounting way up in the hundreds of thousand dol-
lars. No price large enough to tempt him to part
with Palo Alto 2:08$, the stallion king. His desire to
keep them is evidence enough that his venture was
not to make money but to carry out his ideas in regard
to breeding and the development of extreme speed.
The statement that it never paid a profit is a broad
assertion for a writer to make, who, to the best of my
knowledge, never knew the intention of Senator Stan-
ford, nor inspected the records of Palo Alto Stock
Farm. It is not a fact that ,;Palo Alto Stock Faim is
said to show a wrong balance on the ledger of over
81,000,000.00," and the error should be corrected at

once. The next sentence reads: "Since Senator Stan-
ford's death the farm has not been so prosperous."
I wonder where the writer got his information: it must
have been from an unwritten work known as "mental
inaccuracy," for to be not so prosperous in nine years,
and to lose over a million in sixteen years, would mean
that in the nine years the loss would be greater than
over a million, and the books fail to show any such
shortage: on the contrary show a total revenue from
sales of horses alone of 8411,762 00. If the writer on
the sale of Palo Alto stock will look up the Christmas
Horse Review oi 1899, he will find a recapitulation of
the revenue producing mares of Palo Alto that will
not only astonish him. but make him feel as if he had
pulled the string at a badger fight in San Antonio,
Texas.

Regarding the trotting department, the naming of
the mares Elaine, Wildflowerand Beautiful Bells, that
are to be kept, and the assertion that in the breeding
of trotting stock the farm has a name more noted than
any other place in the world, are the only true state-
ments made by the writer whose article is headed:
•'Palo Alto Stock to be Sold Off."

Palo Alto was famous in 1892, before the passing
away of the master mind who created it, having held
the world's records for yearlings, two, three, (our.
five year olds, mare and stallion, an achievement never
before accomplished by a stock farm in the world, and
never will be repeated . The same year held the Ameri-
can record for running horse 1:39.1. by Racine, and not
1:40 as written by the writer of "Palo Alto Stock to be
Sold Off."

Since the passing to rest of Leland Stanford Palo
Alto has been very prosperous, having produced the
greatest money winners on the circuit, and producing
many trotters that have gained both race and world's
records. The great race horse Azote 2:04$, Eleata (4^
2:08£, the largest money winner of 1901; Idolita (3) 2:12,
the greatest money winner of 1899, winner of the Horse
Review $30,000: Palita (2) 2:16, the unbeaten two year
old of 1895; Expressive (3) 2:12i, the greatest racing
three year old of all time, 12 wins out of 16 starts:
Limonero (3) 2:15^, winner of the Stallion Representa-
tive Stake $5000, at Lexington, Ky., in 1894; Rowellan
(3)2:154, winner of the Horse Review Stake S6000 in
1901; Altivo (4) 2:l8i, winner of the Horseman Conso
lation $9000 in 1894: Adbell (1) 2:23, world's champion
yearling; Serpol 2:10; Aria (3)2:16^, the unbeaten three
year old of 1894; Palatine (2) 2:23, the unbeaten two
year old of 1893. Helena 2:11}, Peko 2:11}, Betonica
(3) 2:104, Avena (2) 2:19A, Bonnibel 2:17}, the great
stake winner of 1893. Iran Alto (4) 2:12A, Wild Nut-
ling (p) 2:11}, Laurel 2:13|, Lucrative 2:13}, Minnie B.
2:15}, Marston C. (3) 2:194, Sweet Water (2) 2:26, Ncr-
deau (3) 2:173, E1 Rami (4) 2:14, Adabella (2) 2:254, and
many others as the records will show, casting to the
winds the artic'e written by a misinformed writer on a
subject that he places before the public, an undeserved
blow to the greatest stock farm in America.

The mention of sales in the article is not correct; the
next sale will be in Cleveland, O., in May, 1902; the
second in Sacramento, Cal., September, 1902, and the
third in New York, in November, 1902.

^ F. W. COVEY.

The Horse Famine.

The Developed Sires.

When Col. Berry in 1898 predicted a horse famine
before we could raise more horses, many dealers
laughed at the idea and thought that out of our fifteen
million horses we could always find plenty of good
horses. Now these dealers, with men scouring the
country, are unable to find half enough good market
horses to supply their trade, while the export buyers
find but few horses suited to their markets, and such
a thing as a carload of horses coming in from the
breeder to the commission men is unheard of these
times. They must £et out and buy their horses to sell
or they do not get them. There are regular shippers
who are constantly buying and fitting horses for mar-
ket. They all report horses scarce, hard to find and
still harder to buy, and but very few high class horses
can be found. This horse famine must last until the
young horses and colts have been bred since horse
breeding began again. There is a great revival of
horse breeding throughout the Western States, espec-
ially of draft and coach horses. Every draft mare in
the country is now carefully bred to a good draft stal-
lion, and the imported Coach strllions are bred to
trotting bred mares, and the good prices are encour-
aging the farmers and horse breeders to get into mar-
ket as soon as possible to supply the eager demand of
our city markets for fine horses.

[Chicago Horseman/

Few are there who do not remember the wide dis-
cussion of ten years ago that related to the superiority
of the non-developed over the developed stallion, as a
sire of extreme speed. One who would to-day contend
that racing sapped the vitality of a stallion to an ex-
tent to impair his usefulness as a sire will find by the
records that he has not a foot to stand upon. When
the controversy took place no trotting stallion in the
2:15 list had sired a 2:15 trotter, in fact it was not until
1894 that a stallion gained that honor. In that season
there were no less than three which joined this select
list, the first being Edgardo 2:13$ by Rumor, Keeler
2:13] by King Rene and Norval 2:13| by Electioneer.
Now there are sixty-five trotting stallions in this list,
and with few exceptions it contains- the name of every
stallion which bas reached the age to have a foal old
enough to enter the 2:15 list, or which has had the
opportunity to sire 2:15 speed. It cannot be overlooked
that two of the earliest 2:15 trotting stallions, Phallas
and Maxie Cobb, are still unrepresented. Of the stal-
lions in the 2:15 trotting list that have sired 2:15
trotters, it is to be noted that fifteen are in the 2:10
trotting list, three of which have in turn sired 2:10
trotters, while two others have sired 2:10 pacers.
Allerton is the only stallion that has sired both trotters
and pacers and of the fifteen 2:10 sires he leads in point
of the greatest number of 2:10, as well as the greatest
number of 2:15 representatives.

Of the horses represented in the list, Wilkes Boy
leads, having produced four 2:15 trotting stallions that
are sires of 2:15 speed. Six others, Alcyone, Election.
eer, Baron Wilkes, Red Wilkes, Simmons and Jay
Bird have each sired three. The table following con-
tains the names of all 2:15 trotting stallions which
have sired two or more 2:15 performers, either trotters
or pacers.

During the mouth of April SUNSET LIMITED will
leave San Francisco for New Orleans every Monday,
up to and including April 21st, at 4:50 P. M., via San
Jose, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, El Paso, San An-
tonio and Houston. Direct connection with trains for
New York. Secure full information from any Agent
Southern Pacific Company.

First honors go to McKinney, who has a total of
eighteen in the list, Allerton, Norval and Axtell fol-
lowing in the order named. Quite the feature of this
table is the fact that three of the four were fifteen
years or under in age when the last campaign closed.
Perhaps the most important fact developed by this
compilation is the honor that goes to the dead ex-
champion of trotting stallions, Palo Alto 2:083. He is
the only 2:15 trotting stallion that has sired a 2:15
trotter that in turn has produced a 2:15 trotter, Palo
Alto being the sire of Iran Alto 2:12J, in turn the sire
of the trotters Dr. Frasse 2:12J and Thomas R. 2:15.

Fair at Chico.

The question as to whether or not a district fafr
would be held at Chico this year, was definitely settled
Saturday last at a meeting of directors held in that
city. There were present .at the meeting President
Lusk and Directors Geo. Daniels, B. Cussick and A. L.
Nichols and Secretary A. G. Simpson. After a brief
discussion it was unanimously decided by the directors
that a fair should be held, and the date was fixed for
the week beginning August IS. This will bring the
Chico fair just one we'jk ahead of the date claimed by
Marvsville.

The only sulky made 1 hat can be lined on the race
track is a McMurray and the only tool needed is a
monkey wrench, and the material and mechanical
construction cannot be surpassed. Price right. Coast

THIRTY-SIX TWO YEAR OLDS bred and reared
at Palo Alto Stock Farm are to be placed on the
cars the 28th of this month and whirled away across
the mountains and plains to Cleveland, where they are
to be sold at auction to the highest bidder. There
were IS in the original consignment, but just before
the list was made out for the catalogue distemper made
its appearance on the farm and a carload had to be cut
out, as they are not in condition to ship, and Palo Alto
Stock Farm, even though it is closing out, sends no
#:ck or ailing horses to any sale.

I saw these youngsters last Saturday, as beautiful
and perfect a day as this region of perfect days ever
produced, and making all allowance for the surrouDd"
ings and the many kind attentions shown me by
Superintendent F. W. Covey, I can truthfully say
that such a band of two year olds I never before saw.
They are the largest, handsomest, best gaited and
soundest lot of youngsters ever headed for a sale, and
if they do not arouse an enthusiasm among the Eastern
horsemen that will lead to larger prices than have been
obtained for several years past at the Palo Alto sales,
then my estimation of the judgment of those horsemen
;s at fault.

It must be taken into consideration that the rainy
season has been wetter than usual this year. The
colts were on the track but five days during February
and nine days in March, owing to the almost continual
downpour, so that they are not as far along as usual
and speed has not been made as fast as in former
rears. James Thompson, the well known trainer, who
has had the handling of the colts, reached the farm In
January, and until ADril did not find much time to

i drive. But ia spite of all these drawbacks, the young-
sters show that the speed bred for is there and can be
shown, while for size, form, soundness, good feet and
legs, style and manners there was never yet thirty sis
two year olds in training at the farm that could equal
them. It is a pity that just as the acme of breeding
according to the plans of the late Senator Stanford

1 has been reached, that the farm must be devoted to
other purposes. For, if the Senator's theories and

' practices could be continued, right here at Palo Alto
the two minute trotter would certainly come and it
may be that it has -already been produced though not

I et developed .

I it is impossible in the space allotted this article to

: .peak of each and every colt seen, but a few will suffice

and they are not the pick of the bunch by any means.

Medion by Mendocino is a two year old that should

be a horse 3how winner as well as a fast trotter. He

i ,s a bay and one of the handsomest colts I ever looked

< at. His dam, Clarion by Ansel 2:20, took a four-year-
jla record of 2:25|. Clarion's dam was Consolation
;thedam of Utility 2:13 and Clarion 2:25|) by Dictator.
The next dam was by Norman 25, the next by Mam-

• brino Chief 11, and from there on there is thorough-
bred blood for generations. Three thousand dollars

j was offered for Medion last week by an Eastern visitor
i to the farm, but as the colt is consigned and cata-
logued the offer was refused. Palo Alto Farm never
I withdraws a well horse from a sale after he is once
I catalogued. Medion is a trotter, as he shows more
conclusively every time he is hitched up.

A few days before my visit the proprietor of Grattan
Stock Farm, and owner of the stallions Grattan 2:13
] and Cecilian (2) 2:22, was at Palo Alto. Superintend-
ent Covey was having the colts led out for his inspec-
tion, and as one was taken from the stall said:
" This is Sweet Princess, a two year old by Dexter
. Prince out of Sweetheart by Stamboul."

"See here, Mr. Covey, I'm a horseman, and you
must be mistaken. That filly is nearer four years old
than two," was the reply.
But Mr. Covey was correct and while Sweet Princess

* in every look, action and gait has the appearance of a
grown mare, she is only one of Palo Alto Farm's two
year olds, whose size and good looks have excited
astonishment and admiration whenever they have
been led out for inspection.

Princess Elden is the appropriate and euphonious
name given a full sister to last year's winner of the
M. &. M. and the largest money winner of the circuit,
Eleata 2:08}. She is more promising than her sister
was at the same age, and is one of the most perfectly
gaited trotters ever seen on the farm. She is staked
to something like $60,000 worth and with good man-
agement should earn a goodly share of this neat sum.

Lauracino, one of Mr. Covey's happy combination
names, is by Mendocino ont of Laura Drew, the dam
of Freedom 2:29}, the first yearling to beat three
minutes. Lauracino is a bay with four white feet and
one of the handsomest of the handsome.

Menrosa is another well named and well staked filly.
She is by Meudocino, son of Electioneer, out of Ata-

lanta, full sister to Beautifull Bells. In looks, size,
color, action and disposition she is the counterpart of
that great member of the Electioneer-Beautiful Bells
family, the lamented Hinda Rose, first foal of Beauti-
ful Bells, with a yearling record of 2:36J, two year
old record of 2:32 and three year old record of 2:19A.
Beautiful Bells had eighteen foals and not one was
similar in looks to Hinda Rose, but here is a filly by
Electioneer's son and out of the Bells' own sister that
is an exact counterpart. Explain, if you can, why this
filly should look nearer like Hinda Rose than any of
her own sisters or brothers, even though she has very
much the same blood in her veins.

Mr. Thompson was driving during the day a filly
that attracted considerable attention from all who
stopped at the track to see the colts worked. It was
Goldress, a brown two year old by Dexter Prince out
of Carrie C. (dam of Carmelito (2) 2:32 and Carolita)
by Electioneer. The well known horseman, James
Golden, has purchased two of Carrie C.'s produce at
Palo Alto sales and turned them over at a good profit
Superintendent Covey has named this one Goldress
out of compliment to him and says James will want
her when he sees her move.

There are eighteen of the thirty-six two year olds
entered in the rich futurities of 1902 and 1903 as
follows:

Colts by Mendocino (3), 2:191.

1. Marocino, bay, dam Aerolite (half sister of Arion,
2:07}) by Palo Alto 2:08}.

2. Medion, bay, dam Clarion (4) 2:25} (half sister of
Utility 2:13, etc.) by Ansel 2:20.

Fillies by Dexter Prince.

3. Princess Elden, brown (sister of Eleata (-1) 2:08},
largest winner of 1901.

4. Lucie, brown (sister of Lucrativa 2:13$).

5. La Rose, bay, dam Bell Bird (1) 2:26}, daugh-
ter of Electioneer and Beautiful Bells.

8. Goldress, brown, dam Carrie C. 2:24 (dam of
Carmelito C. (2) 2:32, and Carolita) by Electioneer.

9. Sweet Princess, bay, dam Sweetwater (2) 2:26,
by Stamboul 2:07i, out of Manzanita (4) 2:16. Sweet-
water is the dam of Adabella (2) 2:194.

fillies by MENDOCINO (3) 2:19J.

10. Menrosa, brown, dam Atalanta, sister of Beau-
tiful Bells 2:29', greatest of broodmares.

11. Menoco, bay, dam Rebecca, dam of Bernal 2:17
and four others, etc.

12. Lauracino, chestnut, dam Laura Drew, dam of
Freedom (1) 2:291, champion trotter, etc.

13. Naza, bay, by Nazote 2:281 (brother of Azote
2:04}), dam Gertrude Russell 2:231, sister of Palo Alto
2:08}, etc.

14. Azula, bay, by Azmoor 2:20i-Sylla Barnes by
Whips 2:27*.

GELDINGS.

15. Grove N., bay, by Mendocino (3) 2:19I-Lady
Nutwood, dam of Ned Thorn 2:11}, etc.

16. Exquisite, chestnut, by Mendocino (3) 2:19>-
Esther, dam of Expressive (3) 2:121.

17. Nazomont, chestnut, by Nazote 2:28A-Rosemont
'dam of 3;, daughter of Beautiful Bells 2:291.

18. Wildos, brown, by Dexter Prince- Wildmay 2:30
by Electioneer-Mayflower 2:301.

All of the above are engaged in the Kentucky
820,000 Futurity, and all, with the exception of Nos. 5,
9, 14 and 18, are in the Terre Haute Matron Stake of
S10,000. All are in the Horse Review Stake, and Nos.
1, 2, 3 and 8 are also eligible to the Hartford $10,000
Futurity. There are six eligibles for the Kentucky
Stock Farm Purse, viz., Nos. 1, 2, 5, 12, 15 and 16.

It is useless to tell of the quarters and eighths
worked thus far by these youngsters as they have not
had the opportunity to show even a part of the speed
that is in them, but when they reach Cleveland and
are shown on the track buyers will be able to see for
themselves whether they are great prospects or not.
Palo Alto Farm has sent forth many great stake and
race winners every year, but I venture the prediction
that there will be a greater proportion ol money win-
ners and low record holders come from this consign-
ment than has ever yet been attained by the colts
from the farm.

A day at Palo Alto, with Superintendent Frank
Covey, is something to be long remembered. Mr.
Covey has been at the great farm, man and boy, nearly
twenty-five years, and knows every horse of the four
or five hundred on the place by name and pedigree.
He never passes one without a word of greeting, and
it is a pleasure to see the older ones respond to his salu-
tations. Carefulness is the first duty impressed upon
every employe and one never hears loud talk or angry
words addressed to the horses. The Electioneers are
noted for their good dispositions and gentle manners,

and when one sees the way the members of this family
of great horses are handled at Palo Alto, the question
arises: Would not the descendants of some other sires
have better reputations if they were handled in the
same way? Senator Stanford bred for size, good looks
good dispositions and speed. He accomplished his
purposes and now that the equine trees of his theory
and practice are just beginning to bear their choicest
fruit, it is a pity to see the order given that the great
orchard must go to make room for something else.
But the dispersal of Palo Alto horses will create oppor-
tunities for horsemen that they should not overlook.
There are colts to be sold that will outbreed Electioneer
with the same opportunities, and there are fillies to go
that may beat the wonderful record of Beautiful Bells,
greatest of all broodmares. Those who attend the
sales of Palo Alto stock during this year and have the
money to bid on the horses offered will be lucky, as no
such chance will occur again, and the loss to this State
of the country's greatest breeding farm will be a gain
to the individuals who secure some of the blood that
has made history for Palo Alto that will live as long as
civilization. H.

Subscribers to this paper can have advice through these columns
in all cases of sick or injured horses, cattle or dogs by sending a
plain description of the case. Applicants will send their name
and address that they may be identified.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — I would like
to consult your veterinarian as to a bony enlargement
on an Anteo stallion I own. I bought this steed from a
corral in which he had been running- for five years. I
was too anxious to make speed on our hard country
roads. Pretty soon I noticed that the ankle joints in
front, to the horse's front feet were enlarged. Last-
winter I blistered the ankles twice with beniodide of
mercury. I think the enlargements went down some.
It does not interfere with the horse's action, but I
would like to be able to remove these blemishes if the
veterinary act will enable me to do so.

Bony enlargements in the region of the pastern,
when they do not interfere with the action of a joint,
or extend to the coronet, do not generally lame.

When the exostosis is of longstanding, and perfectly
hard and ''set" it is very difficult to remove.

Repeated blisterings with beniodide of mercury
blister is about as good a treatment as you can adopt.

Avoid concussion caused by fast driving, which
tends to keep up the irritation that started the
formation.

Running on soft ground or slow exercise on soft
ground is better for him than standing in a stable after
the inflammation resulting from the blister has dis-
appeared.

Bony enlargements of this kind tend to disappear in
time, even without treatment, and for this reason old
horses that have been running at pasture or worked
moderately, rarely have exostosis on their legs.

The veterinary act does not interfere with a man
treating his own horse. It is mainly to protect the
public from a class of men that go about pretending to
have veterinary knowledge, and through ignorance or
deceit defraud the horse owner and injure the animal
that he treats.

I have a yearling colt that has just developed a thor-
oughpin and spavin on one of its hocks. The colt has
always been well fed. Would you, through your
paper, suggest a treatment, and with proper treatment
do you think it can be removed?

The colt being young, unless the thoroughpin and
spavin be very large, and the joint injured in some
way, I consider that nature, with the assistance of a
few applications of tincture of iodine, will in time re*
move the enlargement.

Paint the enlargement with tincture of iodine once
every three weeks and leave the colt run in a large
pasture night and day.

If the colt be taken up at night he will probably
hurt the hock in galloping about when let out every
morning, especially if the place be small and he has to
turn frequently in his play.

When left out night and day he soon gets over the
novelty of it and will not be so violent in his play.

A Good Mare to Cresceus.

Geo. Fox, of Clements. Cal., has decided to send his
filly Silpan to be bred to Cresceus 2:02.J, and she will
leave in the car with horses consigned to tho Blue
Ribbon sale at Cleveland this month. Silpan is by
Silver Bow 2:16 out of Kitty Pox by Parcoast, second
dam by Dictator, third dam by Mauibrino Time,
fourth dam by thoroughbred Paddy Burns, fifth dam
by Coppeihead. Cresceus will have no better bred
one than Silpan sent to his court this year.

A very handsome mare, over sixteen hands high,
sound, young and city broke is offered for sale at a
great bargain. Apply to "C" this office.

Colusa's fair will open August 11th and continue five
days.

Dan Patch 2:04} is 150 lbs. heavier than he was last
year.

Coney 2:02 is at the Kirkwood, Del., kite track for
spring training.

Thomas W. Lawson's entries lor t e Boston horse
show number 135.

Bessie Bonehill 2:05*, alter raising a couple of foals,
will be trained this season by Join Dickerson.

They say Th€ Aristocrat, five years old, by Athanio,
in Geers' stable, can pace as fast as Direct Hal.

The starting judge, Frank Walker, has engagements
for all but three weeks of the coming racing season.

Cresceus will be taken to the Cleveland track July
1st to begin active training for his exhibition tour.

John Kelly will have a full sister to Directum Kelly
2:08} in his "string this year. She is called Phyllis
Kelly. *

There is a seven-year-old brother of Dare Devil 2:09,
called Helvetia, that is a pacer and is to be trained
this season.

The Kentucky Futurity has 1415 entries of which
California sent "forty-four. Twenty were from Palo
Alto Stock Farm alone.

Hulda 2:08i has a daughter by Dexter Prince. It
arrived at Aptos Farm last Sunday evening and is
already the pet of the place.

Bert Webster worked the pacing two-year-old chest-
nut colt by Steinway out of Nolaby Nutwood a mile in
2:23 last Saturday at Pleasanton.

Andy McDowell is regularly jogging the following:
Major Greer 2:13}, Aggie Medium 2:12}, Betsv Tell
2:20], Paul Revere 2:07}. Wilkie Redbuek 2:13}.

Miss Logan 2:06} worked a very handy mile in 2:15
at San Jose this week and seems to be a very much
improved mare so far as behavior is concerned.

George Davis has sold his handsome pair of Charles
Derbys to E. H. Vance of Oakland for S1200. They
are chestnuts, full brother and sister, five and six
years old respectively, and are not only stilish but
fast. They are out of a mare by Guy Wilkes.

The 87100 gelding. Sagwa 2:13}, has been fired in a
front leg from fetlock to knee, and is jogging sound in
it. Last Year he was set pacing and was timed a heat
right close to 2:10 in a race. No knowing but Sagwa
may turn out better than expected, if he stands the
"prep."

Geo. F. Stickle of Angels Camp is the owner of a
colt by Silver Bow 2:161 out of Grace, the dam of
Daedalion 2:11, Creole 2:15 and Eagle 2:19J by Bucca-
neer, that Ed Lafferty is training at Pleasanton, that
is one of the handsomest colts in California, and a sure
trotter.

If a stallion is healthy and vigorous, don't be afraid
to breed to him just because he is old. The old "hero
of the homestretch," Robert McGregor was 22 years
old when he was mated with Mabel by Mambrino
Howard, and she produced Cresceus 2:02} the follow-
ing year.

John Ott, of Pacheco, writes that his stallion Sid-
more has been bred to 31 mares to date and has quite
an additional number booked. The many handsome
and fast colts by Sidmore owned in Contra Costa
county are helping to bring him a large patronage
this year.

A gentleman who is looking for a 2:15 pacer states
that nearly all the horses shown him so far have been
too fast, as they are guaranteed to go three heats in
2:10. As the guarantee is not guaranteed he thinks
the speed is a little too great for the money he is will-
ing to pay.

Josiah Stoddard of Boston, inventor of the steam
piano, is dead and his body is to be cremated. If all
these infernal machines could be gathered and cre-
mated with him, every horse owner that ever tried to
drive near a circus procession would say: "Peace to
their ashes."'

Dolly Dillon 2:07 is working so nicely for Millard
Sanders at Pleasanton that he is confident she will
return from her Eastern campaign this year a good
winner for the Santa Rosa Stock Farm. She worked
a mile in 2:15 last Saturday, coming the last quarter
in 31J seconds.

Reports from the East are to the effect that The
Abbot 2:03] is showing so much improvement over his
last year's form that horsemen are already calling him
the 2:02 trotter of 1902. It is said that he can fairly
fly in his brushes and that he is ready and anxious to
gb fast at all times.

One of the greatest prospects in the Malcolm Forbes
string, which Henry Titer is training, is a filly by
Bingen 2:06} out of Vina Belle 2:15} by Nephew.

Beauseant, the pacer that has trialed in 2:07} but
will start in the races this year without a record, is
called the handsomest horse in training at Memphis.

The fast green pacer Prince D., in W. L. Snow's
stable, is now owned by A. H. Miller of Buffalo, he
having purchased C. R. Bentley's half interest in the
horse.

Mr. Gallegos' little black mare Trilby by Direct that
is entered in the slower class pacing events on the
Grand Circuit, worked a very easy mile in 2:17 at
Pleasanton last week.

Johnny Dickerson will probaoly have Anaconda in
his string this year. If he has luck with the snake
horse a record of two minutes ought to about mark
the son of Knight for life.

Mr. C. K G. Billings has recently purchased the bay
stallion The Admiral' 2:07} that raced successfully in
1900 and is well entered in the 2:08 classes this vear.
Tne Ac miral is by Be Sure 2:06|.

It looks as if there will be three or four circuits
going on at the same time in California this year,
which will not detract in the least from the success of
the smaller meetings, as they will be widely separated.

Thos. R. 2:15, that good son of Iran Alto that
"Farmer" Bunch campaigned in California last year,
may be sent East this season to try conclusions with
the trotters in his class. He ought'to shade 2:10 this
year.

President Heald and Secretary Kelley of the Pacific
Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association went to
Fresno yesterday to confer with the citizens there in
regard to holding a meeting of the association at the
Fi-eson track.

G. McK. Bevan of Bakersfield is as happy as a boy
with a new toy. His mare Neice by Pangloss foaled
a bay or brown colt by Vasto March 20th, and he has
visions oi stakes won and records made that would put
Cresceus in the shade.

Charles Griffith drove Rect 2:1b'} a half mile in 1:04}
at Pleasanton one day last week. Rect is a most
pleasant horse to drive and will make a sensation at
the Cleveland sale if he keeps right. He should be
one of the high-priced ones of the sale.

Cyrus Lukens, an Eastern turf writer, made the
wonderful discovery that a mare's first foal was her
best and printed a list of first borns to prove it. When
the editor of the Horse Sedeui got through dissecting
the list it looked like a punctured tire that had been
run over bv a track harrow.

The peculiar prices for service fees for his stallion
that Thomas W. Lawson has adopted are, for Ponee
de Leon 2:13. for a limited number of approved mares,
$200, or 8100 if he has option to buy foal at one vear
old at $1000; Dare Devil 2:09 at $150, or $100 with the
option for a yearling at 81000.

Name your stallion in the Special Harness Stallion
Stake which closes May 1st. Don't neglect this. One
of your horse's colts may be the crackerjack three
year old of 1905. If his sire is not named in this stake
the colt may not be raced and your horse will lose
much that is rightly due him as a sire of speed.

C. Z. Hebert of Salinas, owner of the trotting stal-
lion Bruno 2:16} by Junio, has offered a stake of 8l00
for the foals of 1903 sired, by his stallion The en-
trance fee is $5 and is to be added to the stake. Money
is to be divided 60, 30 and 10 per cent. The race is to
be trotted in 1905, when foals are two years old.

Mr. A. B. Spreckels took his friend Grove Ayers
down to the Aptos Stock Farm last Saturday to see
"Sandy" work the trotters and pacers that are con-
signed to the Cleveland sale. Both gentlemen were
greatly pleased with what they saw, and say that the
twenty-four head are all in fine shape and working
well.

The produce of Lena N. 2:05} and Sunol 2:08}, both
with foal to The Earl 2:17, have been nominated in the
Kentucky Stock Farm Purse for foals of 1902. The
Earl 2:17 was sired by Mambrino King, dam Princess
Royal 2:20 by Chimes: second dam Estabella (dam of
Heir-at-Law 2:05|, etc ) by Alcantara, and was bred
at Village Farm.

Mr. D. M. Shanks, of North Yakima, Washington,
visited Oakwood Park Stock Farm this week and
looked at a pacer by Steinway out of an Electioneer
mare that is one of the fastest green ones in California.
Mr. Shanks drove him a quarter in 30 seconds on the
farm track and then offered $2000 for him. The price
asked is $3500 however.

Second hand bike sulkies and carts for sale. Bike
wheels made tu order and repaired. Mc.Murray bike
carts and sulkies kept in stock. Pneumatic rigs called
for and repaired. Kenney Bicycle Company. 531
Valencia street. San Francisco.

James Quinn, Jack Gibson, John Callan, Mike Cos-
tello and other well-known California trainers are all
located at Kapiolani track near Honolulu, and have
strings of harness horses at work for the big annual
meeting to be held June 11th. Quinn still has Waldo
J. 2:08 in his string, Callan is training Edna G.. Cos-
tello has Directress and Violin, and Gibson is working
Wayboy, the chestnut by Strathway that is touted as
a probable breaker of "the Island" record. Charles
David, known to all old California horsemen as "Dutch
Dave. "is with Gibson.

Mr. C. L. Griffith of Pleasanton will ship his string
of horses to the Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland on the
26th instant. He has room in his car for a few more
horses. If there are any persons desiring to ship a
horse East at this time it will be to their ad vantage to
write Mr. Griffith immediately.

The most valuable trotting foal of the season in
Kentucky arrived last week at L. V. Harkness' Wal-
nut Hall Farm. It is full brother to the double
futurity winner Fereno 2:10}, being by Moko, dam
Hettie Case by Simmons, grand am RosaSprague dam
of McKinney 2:11}, by Gov. Sprague. The youngster
very much resembles its famous sister.

It is becoming a rather common occurrence for colts
to be foaled on moving railroad trains. One day last
week while the stallions and mares of C. W. Williams
were on the train en route from Galesburg to Lexing-
ton, two of the mares dropped foals. One of the marea
is by Red Wilkes and the other by Bow Bells. Both
foals are by Allerton, and came straight and all right.

The second payments of $20 on each entry in the
2:12 and 2:18 class trotting and the 2:08 and "the 2:14
class pacing purses of $2000 each and $40 in the 2:24
class trotting and the 2:24 class pacing purses of $5000
each, offered by the Buffalo Driving Club, will be due
on April 20th. Don't neglect to make these payments
to John B. Sage, Secretary, 668 Ellicott Square,
Buffalo, N. Y.

Bray ton Ives, who now owns Extasy 2:10}, will breed
her to Kellar 2:16} this year. She recently dropped a
bay filly by Prodigal 2:16. Extasy made her record of
2:10} pacing as a two year old, and then gained a trot-
ting record of 2:11£ in the fourth heat of a race when
a three year old. Kellar 2:16}, the horse with which
she will be mated this year, is by Allerton and took
his record as a three year old.

A four-in-hand team was sold at Lexington last
week for $5000. This is the first time that a four-in-
hand was ever prepared and sold by a Kentucky
dealer. The wheelers are a five and six year old by
The King, son of Harrison Chief, and the leaders are
five yaar olds by Simmons Boy and George Simmons,
both out of mares by Harrison Chief. They are
chestnuts in color and perfectly matched.

After giving his new trotting mare Pboabe Childers
2:10} one trial on the speedway, John F. Cockerill, the |
the president of the Road Drivers' Association, decided
to make a broodmare of her. She proved to be as
fast as a bullet, but her manners were so bad that Mr.
Cockerill would neither drive her himself nor sell her
to anybody else for speedway driving. She is to be
bred to James Butler's famous trotting sire, Direct
2:05*.— Trotlt -<■ and Pacer.

The Governor of Kentucky has vetoed the anti-
horse docking bill pussed by both houses of the Legis-
lature and sent to him for signature. Much pressure
was brought on the Governor by a certain element to
make the bill a law, but be declined, saying that he
thought the men who insisted on having docked
horses ought to be punished rather than those who
make their living by catering to a trade they do not
establish and have no power to change.

Scott McCoy is giving the pacer Little Boy a great
deal of attention with the expectation of beating the
world's record with him. This horse, like all the rest
has wintered well, and is big and strong. McCoy can't
see why with careful preparation he will not be able
to pace in at least 1:58. He has speed enough to carry
him a quarter over good footing close to 27} seconds,
and it is a certainty that no other fast pacer in the
world can carry his brush as far as Little Boy.

Good prices have been refused for two horses con-
signed to the Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland. An offer
of $2500 was made Mr. Spreckels two weeks ago for
the five year old chestnut mare by Dexter Prince out
of Point Lace by Antevolo. and an Eastern visitor to
Palo Alto Farm'made an offer last Friday of $3000 for
the handsome two year old colt Medion by Mendo-
cino out of Clarion 2:25}. Both these offers had to be
refused, as the horses were consigned and catalogued.

Mr. C. A. Harrison, the well known Los Angeles
horseman and hotel keeper, who sent his mare Little
Maid back to Toledo to be bred to Cresceus, at the
same time set a price at which he would dispose of the
mare. Mr. Ketcbam took Little Maid out during the
sleighing season and was so pleased with her that he
mailed a check for the amount to Mr. Harrison, and
said she was the fastest show horse and one of the
pleasantest drivers he ever saw. Little Maid's filly by
Del Norte that Sam Casto is training at Portland is a
very fast one.

In quoting the statement made in this paper that
Flying Jib wasdriven a quaTter at Pleasanton recently
in 29} seconds, that entertaining writer, "Volunteer"
of Th'_ Borse Beprcic, says: "Flying Jib is spoken of
as being *in his fifteenth year.' it is just ten years
ago since he appeared on the turf and set the record
for green pacers at 2:05}. where it remained until
Bonnie Direct lowered it to 2:05}, eight years later.
At that time I addressed a communication to Flying
Jib's trainer, Mr. George Starr, inquiring his age, as
he is not recorded in the Trotting Register. I have
the answer, in Mr. Starr's own handwriting, that 'the
Jib' was then eight years old. As a consequence, he
is now eighteen, and not fifteen, years of age. It will
hardly be disputed that his feat of pacing a quarter in
29} seconds at eighteen is one of the most marvelous
ever accomplished and certainly without a parallel in
pacing history."

Mile vs. Half Mile Track.

Brentwood, April 12, 1001.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman— We, the
Directors of Agricultural District 23. have under con-
sideration the question of building a half mile track.
In your nest issue of the Breeder and Sportsman"
wilJ you please give us an article on the question of
half mile tracks. Would like to have all the informa-
tion you can give us on the question. About how
many acres it would take. If they are a success in
the East. If a record made ou a half mile track holds
good under the National Association rules. Also your
own ideas on the question. I think an article on this
subject would be read with interest by many of the
Directors of the smaller agricultural associations, as
the cost of maintaining a mile track comes quite heavy
on the association where the appropriation is small
and the attendance not very large. Trusting that this
will not be troubling you too much. Yours sincerely,

Robt. Wallace.
In reply to the above we will state that in our opinion
many of the smaller associations in California could
hold more profitable meetings if their tracks were
half mile instead of mile ovals. Not that a half mile
track is to be preferred to a mile track for training or
racing, but solely for economic reasons. A good half
mile track is, however, better to train and race over
than a poor one that is a mile in circumference. The
spectators enjoy racing as well and perhaps more over
the shorter track as they get a closer view of the race
and greater enthusiasm almost invariably results. But
to the questions propounded by our correspondent:

If the track is laid out according to the plan usually
adopted and which was published in this paper in the
issue of April 5th, about twenty-five acres of land will
be required to allow space for track, grand stand, stalls
and other necessary buildings. The inside of the oval
would be 1052* feet long and 452J feet wide. The
track should be as wide as can conveniently be worked
and if sixty feet all around and eighty fe6t on the
homestretch it would be a better track to race on than
many narrow mile rings. Many half mile tracks are
but 45 feet, widening to 05 feet on the stretch.

Yes; half-mile tracks are a success ir. the East.
Some of the largest crowds seen at the races there are
at the half-mile tracks. The celebrated track at
Goshen, New York, is of this character and such
horses as John R. Gentry 2:00* and Star Pointer 2:01£
have raced over it. The pacing record for a half-mile
track is 2:04} and the trotting record 2:09J.

Records made on a half-mile track are the same as
records made on a mile track as far as the National
and American Trotting Associations are concerned
and will be accepted and recorded when made accord-
ing to rule.

Here in California, in the interior counties especially,
water is expensive, as the long dry summers cause the
tracks to dry out so that a great deal of sprinkling is
necessary to keep them in proper shape for training
or racing. That a track one-half mile in length will
only require one-half the water a mile track will, is a
self evident proposition. One man with one team can
easily do the sprinkling, harrowing, scraping and
other work necessary to keep the shorter track in
condition, while he cannot possibly attend to a mile
track properly. Few associations in California can
afford to hire two men with teams to look after their
race tracks and as a consequence a majority of them
are seldom in good order after the first of June.

If an association has patronage sufficient fco pay all
expenses and keep a mile track and the grounds in
proper shape the year round, we would say have the
track that length by all means, but if it requires a
very strong annual effort to make the receipts equal
the expenditures, and as often happens the balance
is frequently on the wrong side of the ledger, we would
advise building a half-mile ring. By making it suf-
ficiently wide, with an extra width to the homestretch,
throwing up the turns and keeping the entire track
in first class order, your association can make its
track popular with horsemen for both training and
racing.

o

The 2:10 Sires.

[Chicago Horse Review.]

In these days of extreme speed, when to win with
any degree of certainty through the Grand Circuit, a.
trotter or pacer must be able to beat 2:10, the breeder
who aims to produce horses of Grand Circuit quality
must of necessity patronize those sires that have pro-
duced, with regularity, the class of horse necessary
for a trip through the Grand Circuit. Though for the
time being the breeder may content himself with the
thought that he is producing winners on the minor
circuits, he is looking forward to the future when be
can bring out a winner able to hold his own with the
best on earth. And as the production of one 2:10 per-
former does not necessarily insure permanent fame to
a sire, the breeder will find the following tables of some
aid in determining the relative merits of those sires
that have produced 2:10 speed uniformly — the crucial
test ot a stallion's greatness.

The first table shows those stallions that have pro-

duced three or more 2:10 trotters and proves conclu-
sively that, age considered, the Village Farm stallion,
Chimes, son of Electioneer and Beautiful Bells, stands
at the head of all stallions, living or de d, as a sire of
extreme trotting speed. As the table shows, and as
must be conceded, in point of numbers Onward stands
at the head, he having four 2:10 trotters, while Chimes
has but three. But Onward is nine years the senior of
Chimes, and the average record of the three credited
to the Village Farm stallion is nearly three seconds
faster that the average of Onward's four. No stallion
ever sired three such trotters as those credited to
Chimes, all being champions of their day. The Abbot
2:03) stillholds the world's record for trotting geldings,
the world's wagon record of 2:05i and the world's
record for six year old geldings, and formerly held the
trotting record for all ages, the world's four year old
trotting gelding record, 2:11 k and the race record to
wagon, 2:12}. Fantasy (4) 2:06 still holds the world's
record for three year olds, the world's record for four
year old fillies, 2:06, and the world's record for five
year old mares, 2:07, the record for the fastest four heat
race and several minor records. The Monk (4) 2:08},
the last of the trio of great trotters sent out by Chimes,
set the record for four year old geldings at 2:08}, and
still ho'ds the race record to wagon, 2:10.

It will be seen at a glance that Chimes is by several
years the youngest stallion represented in the lis*.
Wilton, who stands second in this respect, is four
years his senior, the others being from five to sixteen
years older.

It will also be noted that in point of average speed
Mambrino King, formerly at the head of the Village
Farm stud, and a stable companion of Chimes until his
death in 1899, stands second to Chimes, his three 2:10
trotters having faster average records than three by
any other sire, Chimes only excepted. As the majority
of the youngsters on the Village Farm combine the
blood of these two sires — the two greatest sires of
extreme trotting speed that ever lived — it is not to be
wondered at that the fame of that establishment is
added to each season.

The following compilation contains the names of all
sires of five or more 2:10 performers, either pacers or
trotters, and again Chimes stands well in the lead in
point of average speed. Onward, with nine performers
to his credit, four trotters and five pacers, outpoints
Chimes in numbers, and Brown Hal, with seven pacers
and no trotters, leads him in point of average speed.
But considering Onward's nine years' seniority and
the fact that Chimes' seven have faster average rec-
ords, and leaving Brown Hal out of the question by
reason of his performers being pacers entirely, Chimes
stands pre-eminently at the head. His seven 2:10 per-
formers average faster than seven by any other sire,
Brown Halexcepted, and again Mambrino King comes
in second place. Baron Wilkes, two years the senior
of Chimes, is credited with seven, two trotters and
five pacers, but is surpassed by Chimes in numbt-r of
trotters and point of average speed.

Measured by any standard based on the 2:J0 list, it
must be conceded that Chimes stands at the head of
all sires The coming season will undoubtedly place
him still further in the lead. Four of his 2:10 per-
formers are in training and are expected to lower
their records, while others are expected to join the
number.

Don't Waste a Year's Time.

Mr E E Winnie, prominent horseman at Waterloo, N. Y.,
writes: " Find enclosed $1, for which send a bottle of Quinn's
Ointment. About three years ago I had a valuable three-year-old
colt that sprung two large splints on the inside of each fore leg.
For a year I used all remedies, and even the best veterinaries
experimented, until his legs got In bad shape. I saw Quinn's Oint-
ment advertised and secured a package, using according to direc-
tions, and in three months' time his legs were as clean a your
hand. I have now another case which I think your remedy will
bring out all right, as I know what it has done." This is only
continued of what we are reoeiving every day from horsemen all
over the United States. For curbs, splints, spavins, windpufls and
all bunches on horses or cattle, use Quinn's Ointment. Price $1,
by mail or express prepaid. Address W. B. Eddy & Co., Whitehall,

A Call on Monterey 2:09 1-4.

Oakland, 'April 14, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— On Sunday
last I thought I would take a run on the electric cars
to San Lorenzo and see Monterey, the champion of
California, and Pete Williams and his wife on their
new fruit farm. So, accompanied by my wife, we
journeyed on such a day as only California affords to
her children— a golden day. People afoot, in carriages,
on bicycles, passed us, or we passed them, many of the
wayfarers laden with the poppies— golden flowers, fit
emblems for a golden Stale. All the orchards were in
bloom— with blossoms — the promise of fruit for the
coming year.

it was 3 P. M. when we reached San Lorenzo. We
found the chestnut Monterey quietly grazing in a grass
grown padlock. Yours truly, setting his fifty years
behind him, vaulted o'er the opposing fence and ex-
patiated to the partner of his joys and sorrows in this
wise:

"See, wife; what a back— straight as a table from
the withers to the setting on of his tail. What driv-
ing power — it makes the horse look like a quarter
horse." Soliloquizing to myself I said: "What quar-
ters, what lower thighs, what gaskins." LettiDg my
eye run forward from the point of hip I saw how close
ribbed up he is. Two fingers would fill the space
between the point of the hip and the floating ribs. A
good deep barrel to hold the heart and lungs, those
furnaces in which the fires burn to furnish speed.
Monterey has speed to burn — a quarter in 29 seconds,
a half in 1:01 J — needs no comment from me. A dozen
watches timed Monterey in one of his Eastern races a
miles in 2:07 flat.

Carrying my scrutiny forward to Monterey's
shoulders — they are massive— stand out in bold relief.
Low in the withers, shoulders sloping backward into
the continuity of the back. A good flat neck, sur-
mounted by a bony sensible head. Fair, full, calm
eyee look inquiringly at me. Thin, pointed ears, the
indicators of the horses's mind, played to and fro
inquiringly.

I was unduly interrupted in my musings by the
partner of my life saying: "Stop looking at that
horse; look at me! We'll be late for that car. Go see
Mr. Williams. We must get back to Oakland."

So all too short was our visit. We had to refuse
Mrs. Williams' invitation to dinner, and promise to
come again to get Lady Fallis when she was ready
to be sent home. We said good-bye and ran to catch
the bob-tailed car which never waits for those who
come a little late: El Vielio.

Sale of Silver Coin 2:16 1-4.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: Mr. William
Durfee has sold the bay stallion, Silver Coin by Stein-
way, to William Loftus of Fullerton, California, at a
price well up in the four figures. Silver Coin is one of
the finest looking stallions ever seen on a race track
and from a breeding point of view hard to compete
with, being by Steinway, one of America's best sires.
His dam -Jennie Mack 2:09 by McKinney 2:11}; his
second dam Leonore by Dashwood. Leonore is the
dam of Dr. Book 2:10} and Miss Jessie 2:13}, two trot-
ters that were always hard to beat. Silver Coin was
the three year old pacing champion of 1901, taking a
record of 2:16} which no three year old pacer was able
to break. Mr. Durfee has worked him a mile in 2:13,
last half in 1:03}, and yesterday the writer timed him
an eighth in 14A seconds. Mr. Loftus is to be con-
gratulated on having purchased such a stallion and
the breeders of Southern California should show due
appreciation and encourage Mr. Loftus in his new
enterprise.

Mr. Durfee states that Silver Coin is ready to race,
that he is one of the best headed and gamest stallions
he ever drove and that were it not for the fact that he
has a great many green horses, no man's money could
buy Silver Coin. Here's best wishes to his new owner.
Yours truly, C. A. Harrison.

Death of Bon Bon.

Mr. C. L. Griffith, of Pleasanton, has suffered a
great loss in the death of his great broodmare Bon
Bon, dam of Bonnie Direct 2:05} and Bonsilene 2:141.
by Simmons. She died foaling a colt by McKinney,
having been ruptured internally and bled to death.
The colt gave promise of coming on all right, having
been placed with another mare, but it was found dead
the next morning. A history of Bon Bon and a photo-
engraving of her appeared in this paper in the issue of
February 22d, this year.

The remains of the late William B. Fasig, which
have been in the vault at Brewster, N. Y., since his
death at Bennyscliffe Farm, were removed to Cleve-
land, O., recently and interred at Lake View Cemetery

Jaokson's Napa Soda untangles the feet.

MANY DATES ARE CLAIMED for harness meet-
" ings in California this year, as will be readily
seen by refe rring to the list published in the first col-
li mn of this page. No less than seventeen associations
have claimed dates so far and there are several im-
portant points yet to hear from. By nest week the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association
will have announced one and perhaps two meetings
and will advertise its purses at the same time. Not
owning a track this organization is unable to make as
early announcements as its Directors would wish,
having to arrange its dates so as not to conflict with
any of the district fairs. There is a probability that
after the San Jose meeting which is to be held July 3d
to 5th, the horses which race on the main circuit will
be taken to Petaluma for a meeting about the last
week in July, thence to Vailejo Aug 4th, to Napa Aug.
11th, to Woodland. Sept. 1st, to State Fair at Sacra-
mento two weeks, Sept. 8th to 20th, and thence to Oak-
land, Stockton, Fresno, Bakersfield and Los Angeles.
The Southern Coast Circuit comprising the districts of
Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey
and San Benito counties will begin August 6th and
close September 6th, A Northern Circuit will begin
at Colusa August 11th, thence to Chico August IS, and

end at Marysville August 30th. It may be that Wil-
lows will enter this circuit and open it August 4th.
Red Bluff, Redding and Yreka, the three principal
districts in the extreme northern part of the State
have decided to join with two or three districts in the
southern part of Oregon and arrange a circuit. They
have already claimed dates. All these circuits will
doubtless announce purses before the end of this
month. There will be plenty of racing in California
this year.

THE STALLION STAKE will be the talk of the
Coast when it is decided for the first time at the
State Fair at Sacramento in 1905, and the three year
old that wins it will not only earn a big pile of money
for its owner, but bring a big lot of credit and reputa-
tion to its sire and dam. This is the first stake of the
kiod ever inaugurated for trotting colts and fillies, and
it promises being one of the most popular. There
were 35 stallions named at the date of the first closing
on February 15th, but owing to an almost general
misunderstanding as to the eligibility of this year's
foals the stake was re-opened and the date of May 1st
set for closing. There should be no less than fifty and
there should be two hundred stallions named in the
stake, as there are that number standing in the States
and Territories of the district, whose owners can well
afford to pay the entrance fee. When the stallions
are named, it will make every foal of 1902 sired by
them eligible to the stake. The California State
Agricultural Society will add S1000 to the stake, and
there is not a particle of doubt but it will be by far
the richest as well as the least expensive stake ever
trotted for in California.

COMMON SENSE was used by Secretary Horace
Wilson and the managers of the Empire Club of
New York in the settlement of a difference in dates
between the association and the New York State Fair.
When the Empire Club fixed its date for the week of
September 8th to 13th, it came into conflict with the
State Fair folks, who had already claimed that week.
As Empire track would have drawn all the best horses,
the State Fair association induced the Legislature to
pass a law prohibiting any trotting meetings to be held
on mile tracks anywhere in the State during the same
week as the State Fair. This looks like a law that is
clearly unconstitutional, as the Empire Club receives
no State aid, but instead of making a fight Secretary
Wilson took another date, and made satisfactory
arrangements with the Pimlico track to give up its
dates for that week. There will be no conflict of date9
on the Grand Circuit and the Empire Club will hold
one of the greatest meetings ever held in New York
State.

A .FUTURITY STAKE EVENT is given in Russia
for trotters, and is competed for by youngsters
on the ice the winter that they are coming four year
olds. The 1902 event took place there January 31st.
The value of the stake was about 812,000 and there
were seven starters, four half-bred Americans and
three pure-bred Russians. The winner was young
Alvin, driven by William Caton; the second horse was
Armand. also a son of Alvin 2:11, the old "Canadian
king. " The other half-bred American that got money
was a filly by Good Gift, son of Electioneer, the horse
that Senator Stanford sent to the Czar of Russia as a
present.

THREE GREAT MEETINGS are to be held in
Minnesota this year and they will be a part of the
Great Western Circuit. The first will be at the Ha-Ha
track near Minneapolis. It opens July 1st, and entries
close June 16th. The second opens July 8th at Ham-
line with the same date for closing as tbe Minneapolis
meeting. The third meeting is held later in the year
at Hamline, September 1st to 6th being the dates, and
entries close July 1st There are S1000 purses for
everybody at these meetings. For fuli particulars see
our business columns this week.

FOUR RUNNING STAKES, one of which is worth
$1000, the other three $600 each, are offered by the
King County Fair Association of Seattle. The Seattle
Derby and the Ladies Plate will close May 1st, the
other two August 1st. There is no longer any doubt
but Seattle will hold one of the greatest meetings ever
held in the northwest. If you intend to race through
that circuit you should not forget to enter in these
stakes.

THE YOUNGEST SIRE of extreme speed was Direct
2:05i, that had Directly (2) 2:07| to his credit at
nina years of age. Happy Riley at the same age was
the sire of Riley B. 2:06V, when the latter was five years
old. McKinney 2:11^ at twelve years of age was the
sire of Coney 2:07i and Jenny Mac 2:09. Diablo 2:09}
at the same age had produced Clipper 2:06 and Sir
Albert S. 2:08|.

A BREEDING FARM for thoroughbred horses,
modern in all its appointments, is to be estab-
lished by the firm of Burns & Waterhouse in Sonoma
county, a tract of land comprising about two thousand
acres having been recently purchased for that pur-
pose. Col. Burns and Mr. Waterhouse are both en-
thusiastic lovers of the sport of kings, and have ex-
pended large sums of money in their racing and
breeding ventures. It is a matter of much satisfaction
to these gentlemen that their stallion Altamax by imp.
Maxim out of Altitude by Alarm, is proving a success-
ful sire, and though but eight years of age he is already
the sire of quite a respectable list of colt winners,
several of which give every prospect of being high
class stake horses. He will be placed at the head of
the Sonoma county farm and with a number of mares
of the choicest breeding there is litle doubt of his future
success under the able management of this popular
firm. May Messrs. Burns & Waterhouse realize their
fondest hopes in this breeding venture.

A BENEFIT is to be tendered to the family of its
** late Secretary, Robert B. Milroy, by the Cali-
fornia Jockey Club to-day. With characteristic gen
erosity the officers of this association decided to give
the entire gross receipts of the day for this worthy
purpose and upon announcement that those purchas-
ing tickets were not limited as to the price for the
same, a number have been taken at $100 each, and one
brought $250, while a very large number have been
sold at prices ranging from $50 to $5 each. The benefit
thus tendered the family of a faithful and popular em-
ploye will be a substantial one.

ATHALIE, the gTeat broodmare by Harkaway, and
dam of Athanio 2:10, Athavis 2:18J, Athadon
2:27, Athablo 2:29^, owned by Geo. Warlow of Fresno,
dropped a filly by Strathway 2:19 last Tuesday, and
two day 5 later Charles E. Clark, tbe well known Fresno
horseman, made an offer of $500 for her, which was
accepted. A partial payment was made on the spot,
with the proviso that the balance should be paid when
the filly was weaned, if she was able to stand up at
that time. She is a lusty, healthy filly now and Mr.
Clark is highly please with his purchase.

SECRETARY JACKSON, of the California State
Agricultural Society, called at this office this
week while in the city and reports a splendid outlook
for a most successful fair this year. The increased
Talues in horses and the greatly renewed interest
taken in breeding will doubtless make the entries in
the premium and racing classes much larger than
usual this year. There will be several new features
introduced at the fair in September that will add much
to the pleasure of a visit to that excellent annual ex-
hibition of our State's resources.

AN INTERCHANGE OF DATES for the Grand
Circuit meetings of Cincinnati, Ohio and Terre
Haute, Ind.. has just been perfected from those
assigned by the Board of Stewards in January last.
Cincinnati dates will be September 29th to October 4th,
and Terre Haute, September 22-27. Horsemen having
entries at these meetings should make a note of this
change.

Answers to Correspondents.

H. B. — Gen. McClellan 1-44 is registered in Volume 3,
of the American Trotting Register, as follows: "Chest-
nut horse, foaled 1S55. got by a horse that worked in
a six-horse team at Pike Station, Wayne county,
Ohio, called North Star; dam a small chestnut mare
weighing about nine hundred pounds, that was called
a Morgan and had a Frenchy appearance.'1 In Volume
4, which is the first volume in which the stallions are
numbered, he is described as "by North Star, pedigree
untraced, dam untraced." He was brought to Cali-
fornia in 1861, and sired three with standard records.
Four of his sons produced standard speed and eight of
his daughters produced 9 in the list.

Good Prices for Orloffs.

S. Lv F. Berg, carriage-horse dealers of Berlin and
Moscow, recently brought to New York twenty -eight
carriage-horses of the Orloff breed, all dark brown or
dapple grays. They were sold at auction and averaged
$1025 each. The New York Tiffies says: A fair crowd
of horsemen interested in breeding carriage-horses
attended the offering, and bids were fast and large*
but the actual sales made were not announced because
of the wish of M. Betz. *vho imported the horses. One
pair of horses nominally brought $5400. but the name
of the purchaser was withheld, and later the same
horses were offered again. From the bids made it
seemed that an average of above $1000 a pair was
made for all the stock. The secrecy concerning the
purchasers' names was said to be due to some agree-
ment Mr. Betz had made when he shipped the animals
from Russia.

Great Winners But Not Great Sires.

The Turft Field. and Farm "glances over"the results
of the important American turf events with a view to
the fact that very few of the winners of them have
developed into great sires. Making allowance for the
element of chance in the development of a sire's repu-
tation, the lack of favorable surroundings causing
many of them to die failures no matter how choice
their breeding or great their racing prestige, the
editor concludes nevertheless that the percentage of
great sires among the winners of the most valuable
fixtures of the American turf is small. The inference
is that it is unnaturally so.

The American Derby, one of our most valuable
races, was inaugurated in 1SS4, and was won by Mod-
esty, the only filly that ever won it. Volante by Grin-
stead was the second victor, and he is credited with a
number of winners. His best was the campaigner
Laureate, whose record as a handicap horse is good,
but not sufficient to place his sire in the first distin-
guished circle of stallions. Silver Cloud, another son
of Grinstead, was the next winner, but he died in 1886,-
the year of his victory. C. H. Todd, the next in suc-
cession, was a rank outsider, and so far as is known, is
still an outsider in breeding annals.

In 1888 Emperor of Norfolk captured the prize and
has to his credit a number of good, useful horses. He
is now 3 7 years old, and his showing last year as a sire
of two-year-old winners was very highly creditable,
having to his credit Cruzados, considered now one of
the best three-year-olds of ihe year, and a prominent

which his breeding, racing prestige and opportunities
gave ground to expect of him. He is, however, far
from a failure, though he would not stand on a par
with Hanover, Hindoo or horses of their type. Among
his best get were Maid of Harlem, Beau Ideal, Poetess,
and Song and Dance. Exile was the third winner of
the Brooklyn, and though a great racehorse his record
as a sire is not sensational, yet Agitator, Forget and
Irish Reel were good breadwinners. Castaway II.
was never prominent, but Tenny, with David Tenny,
Miss Tenny and a few other good ones to his credit
and three winning two year olds last season, is worthy
of mention. Judge Morrow and Diablo are little
known as progenitors. Dr. Rice, with Frank Rice, a
good two year old of this season, is promising, and
being comparatively young in the stud, has a future
bt fore him. The other winners, Hornpipe, Sir Walter,
Howard Mann, Ornament, Banastar. Kinley Mack and
Conroy, have yet to be tried. Among the foregoing
classic winners there are none of exceptional merit as
sires, but as above stated the later winners have yet a
chance and some of them may be recorded as great in
the luture history of the turf. It will be interesting
to continue this research through some of the other
prominent events.

Captain Hackett Wins at Last.

[Sacramento Record-Union, April 13.]
The horse Captain Hackett, owned by John Batcher
of this city, broke his record yesterday and won a race.
Since Captain Hackett started in his first race he

ROBERT I., Green Pacer by Hambletonian Wilkes-Anna Belle 2:27 1-2.

candidate in the American Derby of this year with 15
to 1 quoted against him. Considering the fact that
Emperor of Norfolk's stud career has been confined
almost exclusively to the Santa Anita matrons of his
owner, E. J. Baldwin, he must be classed as a sire of
more than ordinary merit. In view of his age, there
is yet a chance for him to add to his laurels. The next
in order, Spokane, whose opportunities in the stud
were limited, has to his credit some useful horses, but
nothing of the sensational order, his best being Spirit-
uelle. The next two winners, Uncle Bob and Strath-
meath, were geldings. Carlsbad was the winner of
1892, and last year had one winning two-year-old. In
1893 Boundless was the winner, and the race was worth
$49,500, the most valuable Derby ever won. Ee sired
Boundlee, and last year had to his credit three win-
ning two-year-olds. Rey el Santa Anita was the next
winner. He spent some time in England, and since
his return to California he had out last year three
winning two-year-olds. Pink Coat and Sidney Lucas
are still on the turf, and Robert Waddell, the winner
of last season, is a gelding. The winners of the last
ten years still have a chance, and to class them failures
now would, of course, be premature.

The Brooklyn Handicao was inaugurated in 1887,
and the first winner was Dry Monopole. He was a
good racehorse and well bred, but got in a "pocket"
and never extricated himself as a sire. It would be
fair to say that in the stud he had practically no
chance. The Bard was the second winner, and while
fairly successful as a sire he has not taken the position

has gone 157 heats and never headed the bunch before.
Horsemen who have snapped the watch on him state
that in his early career they have seen him work out
in 2:19 and then come fourth in a 2:28 heat. Now, at
the initial matinee of the Sacramento Driving Club,
with Frank Wright holding the ribbons and traveling
in fast company, Captain Hackett shakes his hoodoo
and wins handily, making the circuit on a slow track
against a north wind in 2:26£.

In the opening race of the matinee Charles S. was
scratched, and after Toots, driven by C. W. Paine,
and Rainbow, driven by W. Tryon. had scored for a
long time without getting away, owing to the bad act-
ing of Rainbow, the horses went to the stable. When
they made their appearance the second time Dutch
JohD, owned and driven by W. J. It-vine, joined them,
and they got away in a gond sta>-t. The bad actor,
Rainbow, took the lead from the start and was never
headed, winning in 2:28J, Toots second and Dutch
John third.

The second race brought out the fast ones with four
starters— Monroe B., owned and driven by Frank
Ruhstaller, Jr.; Baby Button, owned and driven by
Frank Wright; Fred Ames, owned by George H.
Clark and driven by Walt Tryon. and Silver Bee,
owned by W. O. Bowers and driven by Willliam
Harris. This was a great contest. Fred Ames lea to
the half with Baby Button on his wheel, Monroe B.
next, and Silver Bee, who broke on the first turn,
coming fast.

The pace became too warm for Fred Ames, who

broke, and was passed by Baby Button, in the back
stretch Monroe B. went to pieces and dreamed it was
a running race. Entering the stretch Silver Bee, who
was footing it fast, went into the air again, and at the
finish they came under the wire with Baby Button in
the lead, Fred Ames second, Silver Bee third and Mon-
roe B. fourth. Time 2:22;. Later in the season, when
the horses all get in condition, a different tale may be
related, as Silver Bee's two breaks were disastrous.

Tbe third event, with four starters — Queen of Ba-
varia, owned by George H. Clark and driven by Walt
Trvon; Captain Hackett, owned by John Batcher and
driven by Frank Wright; Candy Joe, owned and
driven by William Trust, and Polka Dot, owned by
Vet Tryon and driven by William Lamport, was as
interesting and closely contested a race as has ever
been driven on this track.

Captain Hackett cut out the pace from the start and
footed it in the lead to the finish. Candy Joe pressed
him hard to the three-quarter pole, with Polka Dot
close up. The Queen, who was acting badly, trailing.
There was a pretty contest down the stretch, with the
Queen coming fast on the outside. Hackett would not
be driven off his fees, however, while the others went
into the air, and they came under the wire in the fol-
lowing order: Captain Hackett, Queen of Bavaria,
Candy Joe and Polka Dot. Time, 2:26ij.

The last race showed three starters — Bobbv Dobbs,
owned and driven by Jay Wheeler; Canny Scot,
owned and driven by John Morrison, and Arrow,
owned by Daniel Flint and driven by William Lampert.
Bobby Dobbs was a surely bad one; he would neither
trot nor pace, and when they were sent away he
galloped the entire distance. His improper actions
affected Canny Scot, who repeatedly followed his evil
example, and Arrow, who was trotting flat and paying
no attention to the antics of the field, proved an easy
winner, Canny Scot second and Bobby Dobbs, who
came under the wire in a furious gallop, third _
Time, 2:42.

The track was rough and slow, and the north wind
was not conducive to speed or a large attendance, but
the grand stand was fairly filled, and the paddock was
thronged with carriages and sightseers. In fact, there
was a larger attendance than is usually seen at the
State meet when only harness events are slated on the
day's card.

Two Grandly Bred Youngsters.

[Hay wards Journal, April 12tu J

The first colts foaled in 1902 by Educator arrived
within the past week, and if speed and breeding count
these two newcomers have a right to face the best in
America. The dam of the first is Hulda by Guide 2:16
by Director 2:17. The second dam was Alice R. by
Naubuc, sire of the dam of Directly 2:03}, third dam
by Geo. M. Patchen. Hulda, the first dam, is one of a
very few that ever stepped a half mile over the Pleas-
anton track in one minute, which she did as a two
year old. Getting injured prevented her from being
raced. This colt is inbred, being by Educator by
Director, and the dam is by Guide by Director.

The dam of the second' colt foaled is Elcie by Silver
Bow 2:16, second dam is Addie S. by Steinway, third
dam was Aldane, fourth dam was Winthrop Girl, fifth
dam was Arnold Mare by Chieftain 721. The follow-
ing dams were thoroughbreds. This colt through
inheritance has a right to become a champioD, being
by Educator, a half-brother to the ex-champion
Directum 2:05J, which is still the four year old trot-
ting record. The dam of this colt is by Silver Bow
2:16, a half-brother to Cresceus 2:02J, the present
champion trotting stallion of the world. Both colts
are side-wheelers, and are owned by M. Henry, who
has leased Hulda again for the seasons of 1902 and 1903
and will breed her again to Educator. Elcie is owned
by Mr. Henry, who has her foal entered in the
Breeders Futurity. All who have bred mares to Edu-
cator are breeding again, which speaks well for the
value set upon his colts by their owners.

Neernut's Dams.

Dr. Hammond, the handsome big pacer by Chas.
Derby that is in Will Welch's string at Pleasanton, is
out of Clytie II., the dam of Neernut 2:121. John
Mackey, superintendent of the Rancho del Paso, once
owned Neernut's third dam, a mare by Williamson's
Belmont, and says she once held the world's race
record for a ten mile race, and that he drove her a
mile in 2:38 in 1870, hitched to a buggy with a man
as heavy as himself on the seat with him. Dr. Ruggles
of Stockton says he drove Neernut's second dam,
Clytie by Whipples' Hambletonian, a mile in 2:20 as a
three year old to a cart. The following winter Clytie
picked up a nail and was never able to race. Up to
date 32 mares have been bred to Neernut at Los An-
geles this year, and many more are booked, among
them Grace McK. 2:21* and Una K., both by McKin-
ney 2:1U.

Rajah Breaks the Record.

Those who visited Pleasanton last Saturday saw-
Will Welch drive Rajah, the pacer owned by Harry
Goodall of this city, a quarter in the wonderfully fast
time of 28* seconds, br aking the track record for the
distance. Rajah has been at the track but three weeks,
Mr.Goodall having used him on the roads here all winter
and it looks as if he might get a very low record this
year in Welch's hands. He was bred at Oakwood
Park Stock Farm, is by Chas. Derby out of Edon by
General Benton, a mare bred by Senator Stanford at
Palo Alto Stock Farm. Edon's dam was the famous
old thoroughbred mare Emma Robson (dam of Ema-
line 2:27J, Emma R. 2:28} and Rowena 2:17, as a two
year old) by Woudburn, second dam Lady Bell (sister
to Ben Lippincott) by Williamson's Belmont, th^rd
dam Puss by Lance, son of American Eclipse.

Rajah was foaled in 1897 and was worked some as a
three year old by the late T. E. Keating, and was in
James Thompson's string that went East last year,
having been entered all through the Grand Circuit.
He got off as soon as he crossed the mountains and
did not win a heat although he started six times. He
is now a five year old.

Several of those who held watches on him last Sat-
urday made the time 2S seconds, but Welch's own
watch showed 281 seconds and there is no doubt but
Rajah went that fast.

Some Past History.

Of the eleven trotters that were added to the 2:10
list in 1901 only four started the season with records
oetter than 2:12; three had records better than 2:15,
and not so good as 2:12; two had records better than
2:30 and not so good as 2:15, and two had no records
at all. Those of the latter class are Eleata, that trotted
to a record of 2:08£, and Captor, that went into winter
quarters with a mark of 2:09}. The greatest reduction
of record shown by any of the newcomers to the list
was May Allen, that lowered her previous mark of 2:25
to 2:09}, a reduction of 15J seconds, and All Right is
next, having reduced his record 10 seconds, from 2:19}
to 2:09}. The best showing made by the green class
was by Eleata 2:08}, Captor 2:09}, Country Jay 2:10},
CoL Cochran 2:10} and Neva Simmons 2:11}. These
trotters not only distinguished themselves by taking
fast records, but are numbered among the largest
money winners of the past season. Eleata is not only
the fastest green trotter of 1901, but was, all things
considered, the best race mare seen on the Grand Cir-
cuit last season.

Board of Review Meeting.

An adjourned meeting of the Board of Review will
be held at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York, N. Y.,at
10 o'clock a. M., on Tuesday, May 6th, 1902. All com-
munications intended for the consideration of the
Board at the May meeting must be forwarded to the
Secretary not later than April 22d.

John B. Sage, Secretary of the Buffalo Driving Club,
has issued a neat pamphlet containing the entries to
the early closing events of the club's Grand Circuit
meeting to be held in August. In the 82000 Niagara
2:12 trot Gazelle 2:1H by Gossiper, and Sue 2:12} by
Athadon are entered. In the S2000 Queen City 2:18
class trot we find the following Californians named:
Eula Mac 2:17} by McKinney, Black Bart 2:17} by
Hero, Lauretta by Norris, Rubato by Steinway,
Elmore by Azmoor, The Roman 2:18} by McKinney
and Cozad by Fred S. Wilkes. The $5000 Electric
City 2:24 class trot has among its entries Zephyr by
Zombro, Elmore by Axmoor, Ben Liebes and Coronado,
both by McKinney, Petigru by Kingward, Bertina
and Red Light, both by Directum, Lauretta by Norris.
and Rubato by Steinway. In the $2000 Iroquois Hotel
Stake for 2:08 class pacers, Sir Albert S. 2:08} is the
only California horse entered, but in the $2000 Empire
State Stake for 2:14 class pacers there are several, as
follows: Black gelding by Chas. Derby-Directress,
Prince Derby by Chas. Derby, Silver Coin by Stein-
way, and Velvet Rose by McKinney. The little black
pacer Prince Direct, formerly Freddie C. 2:14}, is also
entered in this race. In the Frontier Stake, $5000 for
2:24 class pacers, the entries from California are Trilby
by Direct, Velvet Rose by McKinney, China Maid by
McKinney, Them way by Steinway, Domino by Rect,
and Rector by Rect. The Golden State makes a good
showing in the Grand Circuit entries this year. Let
us hope it will be well represented among the winners.

Hazel Kinney 2:09 1-4 .[Booked to Zombro

University, April 15, 1902.

Editor Breeder axd Sportsman — I see by the
Turf, Field and Farm that Hazel Kinney 2:09* is booked
to Cresceus 2:02}. It is all a mistake, as she was
booked to Zombro 2:11 over a month ago. She foaled
a nice bay filly Monday morning last by Neernut 2:12}
and will be bred to Zombro next week.

Col. Mayberry's fast Zombro filly worked a mile
last Friday in 2:17*, stepping the first half in l:07j.
She can 2:15 right now.

Julia M. by Zombro will leave here soon for Cleve-
land, to be sold at the Blue Ribbon sale. She can trot
in 2:15 easy. Willard Stimson refused $3500 for her
on Sunday. She will show those at the sale enough
speed to bring $5000, as a quarter in 31 seconds will be
within her reach if she don't get off making the trip.

Walter Maben paid Joe Desmond $300 for a weanling
filly by Zombro that looks very much like her sire.
Walter has it broke to drive and says it is the fastest
thing of its age he ever sat behind. It is entered in
all the stakes on this Coast. Mr. Desmond also sold
two others to Mr. Henderson of the Coney Island
Baths for $600. Both fillies Dy Zombro.

Date for the Cup Race.

The following letter has been sent to all the clubs
and parties interested :

The deed of gift governing competition for the
Amateur Driver's challenge trophy (Boston Cup) pro-
vides that competition for it shall be held sometime
between the first of September and the fifteenth of
October. The race this year will be held over the
Cleveland track under the auspices of this club. It
would seem wise to have the exact date of this race
fixed soon, and to this end will you kindly say what
date would seem best to you? Please bear in mind the
fact that pleasant weather and plenty of daylight is
needed to make such a dav's sport successful, and that
here on the Lake we cannot expect good weather, and
our days grow very short after the fifteenth of Sep-
tember. So far as these conditions are concerned this
club would prefer the matinee to be held as early as
the middle of August. We will try and fix a date
satisfactory to the majority of people interested.
Yours truly,

H. K. Devereux.

Tortland Rural Spirit.J

A. T. Van De Vanter, secretary of King County fair
association writes us that all the early closing stakes
advertised to close April 1st have filled, and every 1
stake will go as advertised. This will be good news to
the other associations on the circuit, as it insures suc-
cess down the line.

The Van De Vanter stock farm, of Kent, Wash., has
bought the good and well bred two year old filly Clack-
amas from Aug. Erickson. Clackamas is by Clay mont
2:2", full brother to Chehalis 2:04}, Del Norte 2:08 etc.,
out of Viola, dam of Giles Noyes 2:05}. She stands
15.2 hands, has length and frame for a handsome mare
of good size.

Pathmark 2:09} is being wintered in Winnipeg, Can-
ada, and will be raced again this year. He started in
nine races last season, winning six firsts, two seconds
and once behind the money — through an accident. He
has started against the best horses in that province
and is considered the best on the turf there. His colta
are showing up good, and it is expected that he will
be a great sire.

Au6tin Lafferty, Corvallis, Ore., who has raced his
horses for the past few years in the Missouri circuit
and handled such good ones as Helter Skelter 2:199
Hondoris 2:28 and others writes that he is now pre-
paring a string of five green ones, among them Robert
H., that would have taken a record of 2:15 had it not
been for an attack of distemper. All his horses are in
fine shape. — Horseman.

Seattle has announced their entire program for a
fall meeting. Outside of the early closing stakes, they
are offering a purse of $1000 for 2:10 pacers; $600 for

An Indiana couple en route to a minister's house to
be married were forced to drive across a long stretch
of bottom land, covered with several feet of water.
The buggy was upset and the occupants thrown out.
The young man held his sweetheart in his left arm
while he cut the harness, freeing the horse from the
buggy. The lovers then held on to the horse's tail
until shore was reached, a distance of nearly a mile.
Think what might have happened if these lovers had
started to the minister's house in a horseless carriage'
There would have been no horse's tail to hang to. and
instead of being happily married their bodies would
now be resting under April's verdant sod. — ~Keritucky

HIDALGO'S GOSSIP, j

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE ^fc

We are having a lovely spring for training purposes
and there are now some forty horses stabled at the
track and all taking their work in good shape. And
while the removal of McKinney to your section three
years ago has somewhat diminished the interest taken
in the breeding of trotters and pacers in this section,
yet every once in a while along comes some fairly good
one "from next door to no place, " as the late Henry
Williamson used to say. Zombro is still with us and
making a big season; and I rate him, at his present
fee of 850, about as cheap a stallion, when you come to
consider his performances, as any trotting bred sire
that has ever stood in this State. I can remember
when Rattler 2:35} stood at $100; Kentucky Hunter
2:37 at the same fee, and General Taylor and Stock-
bridge Chief, neither with records better than 2:41. at
J60 each. But those were the days when five dollars
would not purchase any more than two dollars will at
the present writing, if as much. The good old days
of high prices, when everybody had money, are gone
and will never return.

X hear of many fine two year olds around this neigh-
borhood by the chestnut stallion Monterey that was

also inquiring if she was thoroughbred. She was,
most decidedly, and her breeding is given in full in
Volume IV of the American Stud Book, page 33. She
was sent here from Jamaica to be bred to Norfolk and
remained at Mr. Winters' farm .'our years. He kept
writing to the owner for payment and was finally told
to keep her for the debt, as the owner was dead and
his heirs took no interest in horses. She had eight
foals registered as ber produce and several of them
were good ones. Atalanta won several good races in
this State, while Jesse B. and Lady Foster won races
in Oregon. The latter was one of the handsomest
mares I ever saw, but I hear of no produce from either
her or Atalanta on the turt, hence conclude that both
must be dead. Alf Estill was also one of the produce
of Lady Jane and won several good races at Chicago
and St. Louis in 1885. Jesse B. was as game as a
pebble and I shall not soon forget his excellent races
with old Red Boy (then in his prime an. one of the
best sons of War Dance) at Boise City in 1881. Lady
Jane was all rigbt and the only pity is that there were
not more like her. She was by Marauder out of Jane
Shore by Paumon and could be traced back fourteen
generations in the English Stud Book, hence there can
be no doubt about her breeding.

A man writes to me from Montana to ask if Don-
caster, Flying Dutchman, Bend d'Or, Kingston (EDg
lish) St. Albans or Voltigeur, ever headed the list of
winning sires in England, to which I answer in the
negative. As he desires me to answer through the
Breeder and Sportsman", I presume he is a regular
subscriber to your paper and give the amounts won
by their get when they were respectively among the

celebrity as a sire. He was a magnificent looking
horse and, with his opportunities (Stockwell, Blair
Athol and St. Albans, all three being dead), should
have achieved more than he did. The hard-luck horse
of the entire outfit was Bend Or, who was second by a
difference of only £14 to Hermit in 188fi, which was
the year that Ormonde (now in California) won the
triple crown. Isonomy is the only sire in history to
get two winners of the triple crown, but he never
headed the list, being second twice to St. Simon and
once third to the same horse. In 1894 there was only
a difference of £37 between them, Isonomy having to
his credit £42,055 or £20,948 more than Hampton, who
was third on the list. In 1887, solely through Merry
Hampton, as poor a horse as ever won the Derby,
Hampton became premier sire of England, with £31..
454 won by his progeny or £10,601 less than Isonomy
had to his credit in 1894 when second n St. Simon.
The latter horse goes down in history as the greatest
Of all English stallions, having been premier for 9
seasons, as against 7 each for Stockwell and Hermit,
6 for Sir Peter, 5 each for Touchstone and Waxy and
4 for Blair Athol, the only son of Stockwell to head
the list. Stockwell is the only stallion to get the win-
ners of over £60,000 in a single season; the only stallion
to get all three placed horses in a Derby or a Two
Thousand Guineas (1866 and 1862). and Waxy, the
male-line ancestor of Stockwell, is the only stallion to
get all three placed horses in the Oaks. Considering
that Waxy was the male-line ancestor of Touchstone
and Hermit, in addition to Stockwell, which was the
greatest of all English sires?

THE NEW GRAND STAND AT BRIGHTON BEACH.

kept here three years ago. Monterey has a record of
2:09} and was got by Sidney 2:19|, he being- the sire of
17 in the 2:15 list. Monterey was out of a mare called
Hattie Belmont by Commodore Belmont, son of the
great Belmont that was the sire of Nutwood; and his
second dam was by Woodford Mambrino, who got a
record of 2:26 at four years old and lowered it to 2:22
at six. Woodford Mambrino got that great horse
Abbotsford 2:19 to a high wheeled sulky; and many
other good performers of less note. Monterey was
the second best stallion that we have had in Los An-
geles county in the past ten years, old McKinney being
clearly the best. Monterey is a singularly handsome
horse and, as his ancestry is all thoroughbred back of
the fourth generation, his high quality is easily
accounted for. Mr. J. D. Black of this city has a lwo
year old by Monterey out of a mare got by a son of
Echo, who was by old Hambletonion himself, and
Walter Maben is working one that showed a quarter
in 40i seconds the first time he was bitched up. Los
Angeles has always been noted for turning out fast
trotters, Stamboul 2:07* being about the best of them.
He died last year, greatly regretted by his owner. Mr.
E. H. Harriman, President of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company and other great corporations.

mate called Lady Jane, brought to California from
the West India island of Jamaica, and owned at the
time of her deatk by Mr. Theodore Winters of Nevada.

Flying Dutchman was three times second on the list,
twice to Stockwell and once to Newminster. Volti-
geur was twice fourth, in 1860 and 1862, but never
better than that. Kingston was second to Stockwell in
1862 and twice fourth. St. Albans was third to his
sire, Stockwell, in 1867, and never better than sixth
after that. Bend Or was second to Hermit in 1886
and to St. Simon in 1892. He was also third to Galopin
in 1888 and also to St. Simon in 1890. Doncaster was
third to Hermit and Sterling in 1884 with £13,491 to
his credit, which was his best year. In 1882, just two
years after his best son. Bend Or, had won the Derby,
he was twentieth on the list with only £4200 written
opposite his name. In fact, it was only through Bend
Or and Ormonde that Doncaster gained any great

Wild Horses for the British Army.

A dispatch from Victoria, British Columbia, under
date of April 10th says: "The proposal is again being
discussed to capture parts of the bands of wild horses
which roam in the vicinity of Kamloops and dispose
of them to the imperial officer who is to visit this
province to purchasecavalry mounts. Large numbers
of horses roam the Lillooet valleys, and these, if
caught, would be admirable army animals. Colonel
Dent will visit Kamloops in June and some of these
horses will doubtless be offered for selection. These
bands have originated from animals which have broken
away from the ranges and have been supplemented by
others which constantly join them, especially in the
spring. Settlers and ranchers find the roving racers
quite a nuisance, and at the last session of the Legis-
lature the unique scheme was proposed that the gov-
ernment grant an appropriation to assist in erecting
an extensive cordon. The animals were to be driven
from all parts of the country and would eventually be
forced into one of the numerous lakes. People in
boats were to keep the horses from getting ashore, and
after they were thoroughly tired by swimming they
could he allowed out and easily domesticated. Need-
less to say, the scheme did not eventuate.'*

W. L. Snow of Hornellsville, N. Y., ha3 ten pacers
in his stable that have records or have shown trials in
from 2:04* to 2:10. Snow has speed to give away.

E. H. R. Green, son of Hetty Green, and President
of the Texas Midland Road, is having erected on Mus-
tang Island, about twenty-five miles from Corpus
Christi, Texas, a tarpon pen in which to stock tarpon
to be transported to the World's Pair at St. Louis.
Tne greatest difficulty anticipated is to get the tarpon
to eat in captivity.

The big fish will be transported to St. Louis in a
specially made aquarium car and will be exhibited in
a thick glass tank. None less than six feet long will
he sent and they will be probably the first tarpon°ever
exhibited in captivity.

High in the air they will leap for a By;
But plumper they're growing, and in the near future

among them a splendid three-pounder.

Sonoma creek, Nicasio and Ignacio creeks have been

runs off the fiy-fishing will begin — hardly before, he
estimates, the 10th of May.

The Paper Mill contingent met with varied success
last Sunday. Between Lagunitas and Camp Taylor
G. Rothschild caught twenty-four fish and W. Stevens

L. V. Merle and James Watt caught twenty-four and
thirty respectively on Saturday. Louis Haaf's basket

The season for the beginning of the best fishing on
Klamath river is near at hand. Next week several
local anglers propose going to Klamath Hot Springs
to enjoy this excellent trout fishing resort and the
possibilities of Shovel Jennie and other creeks in the
vicinity. The experts who visit the stream in the late
April and early May days each season know every
inch of the Klamath river. Where in some places the
spoon is the only effective lure, and again the crawfish
is the only thing for another spot, they, the knowing
ones, will ken just where to put the red fly and shrimp.
The Hot Spr ngs Hotel is at an elevation of about
2700 feet. The best fly fishing begins when the salmon
fly and the caddis fly come forth about the stream
and on the leaves of the bushes growing on the river
and creek banks. The appearance of these two insects
is generally about May 15th unless a warm spell brings
them out sooner. Both flies change from larvae into
bugs — their first habitat being on the bottom of tbe
river — then tho transition from bug life into a brief
winged existence in the sunshine. The fish are soon
awai e of the new dainties for their stomachs and from
that time on roe, shrimp and crawfish have ceased to
be an attraction for Mr. Trout.

The fish range from two to four pounds in the river

The feature of the Golden Gate Gun Club blue roc
shoot at Ingleside on the 13th inst. were fifty bird cot
tests for two of the Olympic Gun Club trophies. Th,
second race for one of the trophies resulted in a t>
between Clarence A. Haight and Otto Feudner, eae1
shooter scoring 45 breaks. This tie will be shot off ol
May 11th. The tie between Edgar Forster and Fre
Feudner, who were the high guns in the first troph|
shoot last month was shot out, Feudner winning bj
one bird on 43 breaks. Mr. Feudner will select, hi
having first choice, the Interstate Association troph>
which was won by a team of six Olympic Club shooter.
Second choice of the trophies will probably he tb
Roos trophy, leaving the Overland Monthly troph
for the winner of the third contest, which will prol
ably be shot next month.

Gold bars were awarded for straight runs of 25 t
the following shooters: C. C. Nauman 4, Will •
Golcher 1. Silver bars, for 15 straight breaks, wei
won as follows: "Slade" 2, Nauman 7, O Feudner
J. J. Sweeney 2, Golcher 1, F. Foudner 1, Haight 1, ?

The Capital City Bluerock Club shoot last Sunday
at Sacramento drew a big attendance of local shooters
as well as sportsmen from Woodland, -Davisville and
Dixon. Frank Newbert made the high average, 95 %.
A strong north wind prevailed during the day.
Nearly 5000 blue rocks were trapped. Four six-men
teams contested in a 15 target race, the Dixon team
with 75 out of a possible 90 breaks winning. A sum-
mary of the principal events follows:

On the 27th inst, at Sacramento there will take place
the Editors' aad Reporters' blue rock shoot, open only
to editors, reporters, proprietors and managers of
newspapers in Sacramento city. Kimbail & TJpson
will furnish everything free but the results — the pencil
pushers will have to do the rest or doctor the scores.
Trap shooting has evidently taken hold in the capital
city with a boom.

The Guadulupe Duck Club, of Los Angeles, on April
6th, filed articles of incorporation. This club is devoted
to sports afield. It is an old club and its acquirement
of property made it necessary to incorporate. The
directors are R. C. Rogers, F. F. Pierce, Alfred Red-
iDgton, t. R. Baxley and E. C. Tallant. The capital
stock is $500, all paid up.

A pleasant and interesting incident at the Golden
Gate Gun Club shoot last Sunday was the clever shoot-
ing of Mrs. A. M. Shields, the wife of A. M. Shields, a
popular member of the clnb. Mrs. Shields made a
number of shots that evoked much applause from the
experts present.

The prize shoot billed for May 18th at Ingleside is
surely an attractive and liberal one and should bring
out a large attendance of shooters.

Merchandise Tournament.

The shooters will be divided into (line classes on a sys-
tem designed to place all on an equal footing.

The first prize for each class of shooters will be a
hammer'.ess shotgun.

All shooters will shoot at 30 blue rocks. The first
15 will be shot at from the 16 yard mark, the remain-
ing 15 will be shot under a distance handicap arrange-
ment as follows:

Shooters b -eaking 15 or 14 out of the first 15 will go
back to the 20 yard mark and shoot the remaining 15
targets. Shooters who score 13 or 12 targets will shoot
the last 15 from the 18 yard mark.

Shooters who break 11 or 10 targets will shoot the
Dalance standing at 16 yards.

Shooters who break but 9 or less will shoot the sec-
ond half of the targets from the 14 yard mark.

The entrance will bo $1. Ties for gun prizes will be
shot off at 25 targets, each shooter standing at his
handicap yard mark. The balance of the prizes will
be decided by lot.

In the merchandise race the classes will be expert
and first and second classes. The expert class will be
subdivided into five classes with two prizes for each
class excepting the first class, for which the gun prize
is provided.

The first class is subdivided into seven classes for
which, including the gun for first class, there will be
21 other prizes offered.

The second class is subdivided into six classes, for
which a gun and 14 other prizes will be given to the
winners.

The second event will be at 15 targets, entrance 75
cents, $10 added.

Events three and four, entrance 75 cents, $10 added,
will be class shooting, four moneys.

Other events will be arranged on the grounds, time
permitting.

Doubtless it may have occurred to maoy sportsmen
to discover that the breech actioas of their guns have
not worked so smoothly and easily at some part of a
day's shooting as they did at the commencement: that
there was, in fact, some slight, or, in the worst cases,
even considerable difficulty experienced in closing the
gun properly. On searching for the cause it was found
that the trouble arose from powder particles finding
their way in the breech action, which thereby became
clogged. Looking into the matter more closely, it is
discovered that this clogging of gun actions was more
prevalent in tho afternoon than in the morning, and
the reason, probably, is not so far to seek. So long as
the gun is in use there is little likelihood of such mis-
hap occurring; for whilst the exploded shells remain
in the chambers, no powder dust can get into the gun
action. Even when reloading there is not much chance
of this happening, for the barrels are pointing to the
ground when open, and but little residue will drop
from the shell on to the body of the gun whilst being
ejected or even extracted by hand. But not so at
lunch time, for then the shells are removed and guns
are placed butt downwards against some convenient
rail or fence, etc. The slight tap of the butt upon the
ground when placing them in this position causes the
dislodgement of residuum from the sides of the barrels,
and this drops down into the breech and thence into
the action on opening the gun, thus causing the mis-
chief spoken of. The remedy for this would seem to
be the placing of the gun's muzzle downwards when
at lunch: iu this position, by the way, they may be
fixed quite securely from dogs or anyone likely to
knock them down, and, by placing the muzzle upon
any rail, or piece of wood that may be handy, or upon
a wisp of grass, all danger of injury to that part by
contact with stones or other hard substance will be
averted. In the action of tight and accurate fitting
guns there is scarcely room for even a hair to lodge
without some slight difficulty being perceived in clos-
ing the gun, and it will be remembered that the strain
that may be exerted at that part is quite considerable
by reason of the tremendous leverage afforded by the
length of barrel. The joints of guns by our best
makers are scarcely perceptible, and when closed the
barrels and breech look as if they had been forged
together, so well fitted are they.

Bench Show Notes.

What a shaking up of the old dry bones! A total
entry of 850 for this city is more than 200 in excess of
any previous record. This showing has been brought
about by the energy, activity and diplomatic genius of
comparatively a newcomer, and all this despite the fact
that there was many rough edges to wear off and
smooth down and plenty of refractory influences to
temper. From what we can gather the local Setter
and Pointer support has not been to any great extent
enhanced, but still the support and influence of the old
guard will be a good omen for future deelropments.

Some forty to sisty per cent, of the entries, it will
be found, have been made by the fair sex. Many of
these ladies are making their initial entry. The entries
from without are strong and many. Dogs from the
East, North and West will be given an opportunity to
tune their pipes in the glorious climate of the Golden
State and incidentally win a ribbon or two and annex
specials galore.

John Davidson, who will pass on the merits of the
sporting dogs and large breeds, arrived in town on
Thursday looking hale and hearty and evinced a strong
and genial remembrance of his last visit here in '95 by
inquiring after a score of sportsmen and fanciers, for
each of whom he expressed the most felicitous good
wishes.

The following brief communication from the honor
ary manager and secretary, Mr. L. A. Klein, gives in
substance a synopsis of the status of the coming show
such as has never yet been published in this°city a
week prior to the opening of a local bench show: '

"The stern efforts of the management of the San
Francisco Kennel Club to make this the banner show
of the entire West and thus deserving of the exalted
position accorded to San Francisco in the American
kennel world, proved most gratifying, having brought
an entry of 850 for the coming Sixth Annual Bench
Show. This is by more than 200 in excess of all previ-
ous records. Owing to the fact that a good many of
the entries come from the North, while George S.
Thomas, of Hamilton, and F. F. Dole, of New Haven,
Conn., bring strings from the East, the entries of the
latter are at this present writing in the mail and only
the total thereof is known. We are, therefore, not in
a position to give an exact statement of all the entries
in the various breeds beyond giving the grana total.
Greyhounds lead with 160 entries. A record probably
of the world. There are over 30 dogs entered in one
class alone, to wit, the American Kennel Club's open
class, while nearly as many are in the special field trial
class for dogs that have won semi-finals in champion
or open stakes, or finals in reserve stakes. The next
largest entry is in Fox Terriers., which will reach the
figure of 75 as soon as the Eastern entries are in. Next
thereto are Collies and Cocker Spaniels, with about 60
entries each. The novice Collie dog class has the
largest entries outside of Greyhounds, to wit, 18. There
are 52 Setters and 48 Pointers entered. St. Bernards
and Bull Terriers havi about 40 entries each, while
Dachshunds and Great Danes have about 30 entries
each. There are ten teams entered for competition in
the team class, eight braces for the brace sweepstake
and three packs of hounds for the Foxhound compe-
tition.

"In addition to the special list so far published and
which contains not less than 75 sil ver cups and trophies,
is the International trophy offered by the Hon. Ho
Yow, Imperial Chinese Consul-General, for the' best
dog in I he show. It is a most magnificent piece of
bronze, as a matter of course, of Oriental make, stand-
ing fully four feet high, and thereto is attached a solid
silver shield, upon which the name of the luckv win-
ter is to be engraved."

The Union Gun Club shoot scheduled for May 18th
will take place on May 4th instead.

On May 18th Clabrough, Golcher & Co. will give a
merchandise prize shoot at Ingleside. The program
for this shoot will be arranged on an entirely different
plan from any heretofore tried at the Ingleside grounds.

Some High Class Northern Setters.

When the first competitors in the English Setter
classes were led into the ring an eager throng of sports-
men from all over the Northwest encircled the spacet
anxiously awaiting a battle royal which invariably
takes place when the cream of north Pacific Coast
hunting dogs' struggle for honors, says the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, concerning the Setter entries at
Seattle last week. Among the competitors weie
several old-time bench winners, well known to the
public, but J. A Peebles surprised some of the fancy
by entering a youngster, heretofore unknown, which
created su-me consternation before he had left the ring,
among the puppies.

The youngster was Montez Cole (Tacoma Montez-
Cole's Lady) and he carried off first in a hotly con-
tested class of eleven dogs. In novice dogs, with ten
entries, C. B Yandell's Laddie Gladstone won first,
J. W. Considine's well-known Lady's Count Noble, a
dog of excellent merit, being a close second. Charles
W. Minor's Roy Montez, the Victoria dog which
carried off the trophy last year for the best English
Setter in the show, won first in winners' dogs^ In
novice bitches the same owner's Zola Montez won the
blue ribbon, the second prize going to Woodcraft.
The latter possesses much quality, but was not in the
best of condition. J: A. Peebles' well-known winner,
Cole's Lady, carried all before her in the limit class,
but took second place to Zola Montez in the free-for-all
competition.

The Portland Kennel Club has a standing offer of
$25 reward for the conviction of anyone poisoning,
stealing or maliciously injuring any member's dog.

Ruy Bias, a harlequin Great Dane owned by J. L.
Cunningham, is as promising a young dog as we have
seen for many days. He has a most typical head,
splendid neck and shoulders, symmetricalbody, good,
strong bone and excellent conformation. He is now
sixteen months old and developing into a grand dog.
He is by Duke out of Champion Juanita. Mr. Cun-
ningham will have six dogs in the show next week —
Ruy Bias, Duke, Carlos, Carmencita, Carlotta and
Champion Juanita, the latter for exhibition only. This
is a kennel of Great Danes that would show well any-
where in the country.

A paragraph in Turf, Field and Farm announces
that Frank Dole and Geo. Thomas will journey to San
Francisco, and should take care of the prize money
in classes which they have entries. Mr. Thomas is
taking, amoDg others, the Irish Terriers Endcliffe
Gripperand End cliffe Eileen, for the Rushford Ken-
nels. Here is a chance for the California contingent
to breed to Mr. Madan's Crack, and for the good of
the breed on the Coast it is to be hoped that some
bitches will be sent to him.

Seattle Bench Show.

"What is claimed to have been the largest and most
successful bench show yet given by the Seattle Kennel
Club was held last week in Seattle. Over 300 dogs
were benched; of these the Fox Terriers, Collies, Set-
ters and Cockers were the largest represented breeds.
St. Bernards were good in quality but few in number;
the Collies showed up well, there being several repre-
sentatives of the best blood lines in the country. Two
of the winners have been seen at the Oakland shows
and won ribbons there, Seattle Bob, Glenara. English
Setters were high class, the winners being good enough
to go in any company. It has at last come to be a
recognized fact that the northern sportsmen are not
behind any section of the country in a high standard
of Setters as well as Pointers, which latter breed at
this show were equally good in quality with the Setters,
but Lot so many in numbers. In Irish and Gordon
Setters, Chesapeake Bay dogs and Irish Water
Spaniels, though comparatively few in number, the
showiDg was of general excellence, particularly the
two latter breeds. It would be difficult to find a better
mustering of these breeds anywhere on the Coast, par-
ticularly so with the Irish Setters and Chesapeake
Bay dogs, the latter a breed that has unfortunately
not been given the attention, in late years, that their
good qualities are entitled to from sportsmen.

Cocker Spaniels were plentiful and had many good
ones among them. In blacks, Hampton Promise was
beaten by a Portland dog in open and winners, and
Glenwood Havoc took third in open. Princess Flavia
evened matters in open and winners bitches, placing a
Portland Kennel bitch behind her. In colors, Bud
Zunts, a black and white dog, took first in puppies and
winners. Hampton Goldie was beaten in open by
Portland Kennels' Plumeria Bud— not so bad after all.
In novice bitches Glenwood Kennels took the blue
with Glenwood Ruby. In limit Plumeria Kennels
with Plumeria Surprisewon first and subsequently the
tri-color in winners. Princess Flavia and Plumeria
Surprise were in front when the specials for best were
awarded. In Bulldogs, Ivel Rustic was the center of
attraction and one of the features of the show. He
was entered, however, for exnibition only.

The Bull Terrier aisplay was excellent. Champion
Woodcote Wonder had a walkover. J. F. Ernenwein's
entries took most of the other honors. American
Belle was first in open bitches and winners.

In Fox Terriers Ch. Niola Daddy and Bar None
were the winners in dogs, with Legs and Feet and
Wandee Carmencita the representatives in winners'
bitches. This was a complete reversal of the Victoria
awards, where Bar None beat Daddy and Carmencita
was placed over a bitch that beat L^gs and Feet.

The general tone of quality among the Fox Terriers
is said to have been remarkably good. Among the
dogs shown were some that have won out in many a
hardly fought ring competition during past Coast and
Eastern shows. Wires were a good lot, a youngster
by Limefield Roderick out of Warren Corinne making
the top mark, he was purchased by J. G Morgan from
L. A. Klein and is called Mineral Water.

Irish Terriers, Scotties and Bostons were over the
average in tne desirable elements that make these good
terriers so much liked. E. Courtney Ford's Virginia
F. was among the ribbon dogs in Irish. Mrs. K. Brad-
ley-Dyne as usual annexed most of the wins. In Bos-
tons Mri. Thos. Magee's Winner and J. Bradshaw's
The Lady, were the winning brace.

Mr. Julius Redelsheimer, the popular president of
the club was a winner with his Bedlingtons and a
Dach named Pretzel. Ch. Shrew of Venlo had a walk
over in Dach bitches, her mate Ch. Venlo Forever was
entered for specials only.

The attendance at the show for the four days was
excellent, the show, according to a statement of Mr.
John Davidson, was one of the best managed affairs of
the kind he had ever attended. Everything went off
in perfect order. Secretary Jordan an3 Superintend-
ent Peebles expedited the judging in every possible
way. The dogs were brought into the judging ring
promptly and everything was conducted smoothly.
As a consequence, the judging was finished in very
short order.

A retrieving contest one evening evoked a great deal
of interest. Seven dogs were entered and they were
tested on fetching, seeking, obedience and style.
Freshly killed pigeons were used. J. G. Jennison's
Prince Gladstone, a handsome English Setter won first
prize and Frank Kennedy's Gordon Setter, Rubber,
was awarded second. Rubber proved to be an excel-
lent retriever, but he had the fault of not delivering
his bird well to hand.

The ofiicers of the Seattle club are Julius Redel-
sheimer, President; E. L. Reber, Vice-President; S. F.
Rathbun, Treasurer: W. S. Jordan, Secretary. Bench

Ch. Princess Flavia.

The Clackamas and Kipling.

In the list of awards at the Victoria show published
last week, by reason of a misprint in the Victoria
catalogue the press reports mentioned Delverton
Cocker Kennels' (Alameda) Ch. Princess Florence as
the winner of first open and winnerp and also winner
of a silver cup for best Cocker in the show.

Not having a catalogue at hand when W6 made up
our list of the prize winners is why mention of the
proper honors due Champion Princess Flavia entered
by Delverton Kennels (Fruitvale, Cal ) was not
recorded.

[J. Mayxe Baltimore.]
From the Cascade's frozen gorges.

Leaping like a child at play:
Winding, widening thro' the valley,
Thy bright waters glide away.
Onward ever,
Lovely river.
Softly calling to the sea;
Time that mars us,
Stains and scars us.
Leaves no track or trench on thee.

Rudyard Kipling, the erratic and pessimistic, has
accomplished wonderful things in the world of fiction
and letters during the past decade. One thing he has
accomplished that does not legitimately come within
the precise limits of romantic fancy. He has given an
almost world-wide fame to one of the many beautiful
streams of the Pacific Coast. That lucky water course
happens to be the Clackamas, and it is located in the
State of Oregon.

Of course nearly everybody has read Kipling's writ-
ings; of course vast multitudes have perused his
"American Notes.*' Nearly an entire chapter is
devoted to describing a fishing outing along the Clack-
amas. It is penned in the true, KipliDgesquo style.

Much of that famous chapter sounds "fishy," very
piscatorial. No doubt Kipling can coin big fish narra-
tives; but he can adroitly weave into the mystic fabric
many golden threads of truth. There are many
"doubting Thomases" in the angling fraternity who
have read that chapter on fishing in the pellucid
Clackamas with great grains of salt, Those who,
from experience, know most about that stream are
the strongest doubters.

Kipling has told one fact that cannot be disputed.
He has fished in the Clackamas and he did have great
sport. But the Clackamas does not have to depend
upon Kipling alone. She enjoys merits of her own.
Intrinsically, the stream offers a fine field for the
knight of the rod and reel.

Between the Mexican border and the mouth of the
mighty Yukon, there are few streams that can furnish
better sport and offer more satisfactory results. Cer-
tain it is, there are few more beautiful water courses

Away south of that king of peaks— Monnt Hood —
and far up toward the base of Mount Jefferson, the
Clackamas finds its cradle.

Like the grave of Moses, no man knoweth unto this
day just where the stream really heads. Its bright,
winding course has been followed for many leagues by
the white man's foot. But, as the stream dwindles
down to a mere mountain torrent, it is lost and swal-
lowed up — literally buried — amidst the labyrinth of
the vast Cascade mountains. Even the red men of
pioneer days claim ignorance of the stream's true
source.

From cradle to mouth, the Clackamas, following its
devious windings, is probably fifty miles long. For
not greater than thirty miles, has the stream been
explored and fished. Throughout its course the stream
is a revelation of mountain beauty, swiftness and
rugged pieturesqueness. Here it flows through dense,
gloomy forests, there along the bottom of vast, yawn-
ing canyons; again it rolls in the sullen shadows of
beetling cliffs and past frowning bluffs. Onward, ever
onward its bright waters flash and rush. Amidst the
mountain solitudes the beautiful stream plunges head-
long, eternally singing its wild song of freedom.

Tributaries add their watery stores and the stream
broadens and deepens. Down toward its confluence
with the majestic Willamette, the Clackamas becomes
more quiet and tranquil. During spring, summer and
early fall, the stream is seen to the best advantage.
It is then at its lower stages, its waters are clear and
flashing. When swollen by tremendous rainstorms
and melting snows, the waters are laden with yellow
sand and black soil. At such times, the ClacKamas
assumes river-like proportions. It is transformed into
a great, angry rolling flood, sweeping everything
before it.

Between the opening of the fishing season and the
close of the yellow, golden Septemoer, the Clackamas
is a model, ideal stream: it is the hazy, glorious dream
of the true angler.

How many "speckled beauties" have been drawn
from its deep pools, swinging eddies and whirling riffles
during the long years of the past, would puzzle the
average mathematician. Their names are legion many
times over.

Far back beyond the dim and shadowy pioneer days
the lordly redman fished in its noisy, gliding waters.
With the Indians, the Clackamas was always regarded
as the best trouting stream in the entire broad Willam-
ette valley. From time immemorial, its finny denizens
had furnished them with food.

Of later years the "Boston (white) man" has cast
the fascinating lure— always with rich success. For
more than 40 years the Caucasian has angled in season
and out of season in those waters. It has been a per-
ennial fountian of pleasure, inspiration and tiout
hooking. Kipling found the Clackamas and its envi-
ronments eminently insoiring, judging from his prose-
run. mad style in describing his day's outing.

Years of constant angling have wrought one inevi-
table result— decimation. It is the old cry: "The fish
aregrowing scarcer." Even with the aid of stringently
enforced protective laws, the Clackamas trout are in
peril of practical extermination — along with the glori-
ous salmon.

When the lordly salmon are ascending the streams
of Oregon en route to spawning grounds, the Clacka-
mas gets its full share. Some years ago Uncle Sam

caused a large salmon hatchery to be established on
the stream a long distance above the mouth. Below
the hatchery a weir has been placed across the river.
above which the salmon can not ascend. The fish
keep pushing up stream until this artificial obstruction
is encountered. They herd together until the lucid
waters are black with these great silvery sided fellows.
And they make no small commotion on the down-
stream side, too.

Kipling jocularly speaks of this, and says the foolish
salmon "skin their noses against the weir." A great
many salmon are captured during this season — partic-
ularly below the weir.

About two miles above the mouth of the Clackamas
are located the famous falls of the Willamette. These
great falls are just opposite Oregon City, one of the
Oldest historic towns of the misty land "6* Webfoot,"
and 14 miles above Portland. Mother Nature has
placed a great barrier there, above which no Royal
Salmon (Chinook or steelhead) could even ascend until
a "fish ladder" was constructed by the State some
years ago. Since then great numbers of migratory
fish have successfully scaled the ways and reached the
river above.

Below the Williamette falls are famous fishing fields
during the salmon season. So plentiful are the fish
that spoon hooks, gill nets, traps, weirs and even gigs
are successfully used. The swift and boiling Hoods
fairly swarm with salmon. To the angler, capturing
these magnificent fish furnishes capital and exciting
sport. The eventual serious depletion of this grand
straam will be encompassed by the canneries.

In the days when the redman held dominion over
the land and streams, the Willamette falls was the
great rendezvous for the "Lo's" for scores of leagues.
It was there that they collected their winter stores of
dried and smoked salmon. Iheir favorite modes of
capturing them were with spears and large dip nets.

Kipling does not mention having visited the Willam-
ette falls. He indulged in all sorts of wild rhapsodies
over the Clackamas. It is difficult to determine just
what he would have written about the great, thunder-
ing overpour of waters.

It was late in the 80's when Kipling visited Portland.
He went from San Francisco on his way East. From
Portland he visited the Clackamas. Two well known
business men of that city were his companions.

"That was a day to be remembered," wrote the
author of "Kim."

"Imagine a stream 70 yards broad divided by a
pebbly island, running over seductive riffles and swirl-
ing into deep, quiet pools, where the good salmon goes
to smoke his pipe after meals. Get such a stream amid
fields of breast-high crops surrounded by hills of pine,
throw in where you please, quiet water, long fenced
meadows, and a hundred-foot bluff just to keep the
scenery from growing monotonous, and you will get
some faint notion of the Clackamas."

Then he quaintly describes the weir and tells howT
the congregated salmon fly madly against it.

His impetuous, mad description of how they caught
the fish and the fierce battles which followed, is a cau-
tion. Nobody but Kipling could do the subject such
justice. In his enthusiasm he plunged in the ice cold
river and made his cast. He first accidentally hooked
a poor water snake — then he hissed maledictions in
disgust, and tried again.

"Ah, but the next cast of the spoon hook — ah, the
pride of it, the regal splendor of it! The thrill that ran
down from finger tips to toe! Then the water boiled.
My salmon broke for the hook and got it. There
remained enough sense in me to give him all he wanted
when he jumped, not once, but twenty times, before
the up stream flight that ran out my line to the half
dozen turns was ended. My fingers were badly burned
by the fleeing lines."

This was only one of many battles fought by Kipling
and his companions. This is only one of many descrip-
tions he gave in his inimitable style. It was a "shovel
and tongs" series of fierce conflicts.

One of his fish weighed twelve pounds, which was
finally landed with an eight-ounce rod.

"My hands were cut and bleeding, I was dripping
with sweat, spangled like a harlequin with fish scales,
water from my waist down, nose skinned, but — utterly,
supremely and consummately happy.

"Oh, the beauty, the darling the daisy; my Salmon
Bahadur, weighed twelve pounds, and I had been
seven and thirty minutes in bringing him in triumph
to the bank. That hour I sat among princes and
crowned heads greater than them all."

Meantime Kipling's companions were not idle. They
were busy fighting, sweating and cussing. For more
than six mortal hours were the battles waged.

"How shall I tell the glories of that day! We danced
a war dance on the dripping pebbles, and my comrades
of war hugged me until my ribs were nearly fractured.
Then we rested like heroes on our laurels."

Sixteen salmon were caught, aggregating 140
pounds. The score in detail ran like this: A fifteen
pounder, twelve, eleven and a half, ten, nine and three-
quarters, eight, etc., then they ran down to six pounds
and under. In concluding, Kipling writes:

"Very solemnly and thankfully we put up our rods;
it was glory enough for all time to come — and returned
weeping in'each other's aruis; shedding tears of pure
joy, to that simple, bare-legged family in the packing-
case houso that stood by the water side."

It was at this rancher's that tbey lodged over Digbt,
and the trio were wet, weary, wiser, hungry — but, all
were hearty and happy.

******

Volumes might be written of thrilling fishiDg experi-
ences along the classic Clackamas, during even the
past generation — going back no farther. Small wonder
then that the s ream has achieved such a broadcast
reputation; that anglers who come for thousands of
miles should seek to wet their lines in its sweet, pure
waters— just for luck, if for naught else.

Kipling has added new lustre to the glories of the
musical Clackamas. Oregon is justly proud of the
fame of that stream Even our Golden State could
rejoice in claiming such laurels for any of her magnifi-
cent streams.

THE FARM.

<$■¥>

Judging Beet Cattle.

John Gosling, of Kansas City, the expert
judge ot beef cattle, lectured recently to
the students of the Kansas Agricultural
College The judging room is 96 feet long.
On each side of the eDtire length are
arranged three tiers of seats, the tiers ris-
ing one above the other. There are seats
for 350 people, and every seat was full.
Fifty students who could not find seats
sat on the sawdust in the area where the
cattle stand to be judged

With this audience of 400, Mr. Gosling
gave a lecture on ' Quality and Flavor in
Beef." He said that the highest percent-
age of dressed carcasses to live weight in
a beef animal that he had ever known
was 72 per cent. The prize winner at
Smithfield (England) show this year
dressed 70 per cent, but the beef was not
satisfactory to the consumer on account of
the heavy fat. The Kerrick prize Angus
cattle dressed 67 per cent net. Feeders
could not expect to reach such results, as
they came from over-fattened steers, and
the flavor of the beef where such high per
cents of dress weight were made was not
what the consumer wanted. Prize bee
should be sold by telephone.

The best edible beef is secured where
the dressed carcass is 62 per cent of the
live weight The flavor of the meat and
the proportion of fat to lean best suits the
American taste when this percentage of
diessed weight is reached. Americans do
not want to each much fat in beef; tbey
prefer to take what fat they want in the
form of butter.

Mr. Gosling Btepped to a blackboard
and drew the various cuts of roasts and
steaks, in each case showing cuts having
heavy and light fat. He showed how
thick a lining of fat was desired by the
consumer and then showed how to detect
this condition in the live animal. He said
that overfattening Bpoils the flavor of beef
by reducing the amount of the juices and
by adding fat which spoils the flavor.
With underfattening the flavor is also
poor, the meat lacks both in juice and in
fat. Where the animal is fattened to just
the right condition, the juices are abun-
dant, the lean meat nicely marbled with
fat and the flavor delicious.

The man who makes beef should study
the production of flavor in his product as
thoruughly as does the butter maker in
his butter. This is the work in which the
young feeder should perfect himself. The
richer the flavor and the less the waste
in beef when it is delivered to the con-
sumer, the greater will be the demand
and the higher the prices paid. The but-
ter maker can taste his material in all
stages of its manufacture and hus lias a
quick and ready means of determining the
flavor of his butter. The beef maker can-
not teBt the flavor of his product until
after the animal is slaughtered, and then
it is too late to change it. The beef maker
should then learn wltat flavor is indicated
by form and touch and then breed or
select animals and feed them to produce
form and touch that carry with them the
desired flavor.

Mr. Gosling urged the students to thor-
oughly s'udv form. Then to foil -w their
fattened animals to the butcher's block
to correct their ideas of form until they
could tell just what outward appearance
in a bullock would insure the desired flavor
of the beef. He declares that until the
beef maker learns this he is behind the
butter maker.

Mr. Gosling had a beei animal led into
the ring and marked on him with chalk
all the different cuts that the butcher
would make if the animal were slaugh-
tered. He went over the animal and
6howed the students by touch what por-
tion of the animal being examined would
make desirable cuts and where he would
fail.

Mr. Gosling's lecture lasted an hour
and was listened to with the closest atten-
ion. Alter the lecture a bunch of Short-
horn heifers were taken into the ring and
judged by the students, each man judging
for himself. Mr. Gosling then gave his
judgment on the heifers.

The attendance and interest in Mr.
Gosling's work is constantly increasing.
Three hundred and forty students are
taking the work regularly.

The Horse for the Farmer.

Speaking on the most useful horse for
the farmer before the West Virginia Live
stock Breeders Association. Mr. E. C.
Lewis said in part: The heavy horse has
a signal advantage in some farm opera-
tions. In plowing or operating a manure
spreader or hauling the crops to the barn
or to market the heavy horse is just what
is wanted, but in harrowing he does not
have an advantage proportionate to his
size. For drawing a mowing machine the
lighter horse is better. Hitch a heavy
horse to the shovel plow or cultivator and
start him up and down the cornfield, with
scarcely room between the three foot rows
for him to put his ponderous feet, walking
on two rows at once and breaking down
more corn in each than a little horse could
in one, and vou will quickly decide that
he was not made for that kind of work.
Besides, to carry 1000 pounds of surplus,
useless horseflesh over the soft ground of
the cornfield takes a great deal of energy,
and that energy has to be supplied by an
extra amount of feed. Then through the
long winter months of idleness it requires
a great deal of grain to keep the heavy
horse's huge body in repair.

U. S. Beef Excels English.

Years ago when wool was bringing good
prices and the sole aim of the sheep owner
was to increase the weight of the fleece,
the custom was established of postponing
the shearing until well along in the sum-
mer. It was not uncommon to see sheep
suffering in their heavy overcoats as late
as the middle of June and even up to July,
the object being to increase the weight of
the fleece by filling it with sweat and oiiy
excretions from the body forced out under
these conditions. This abominable prac-
tice is still followed to a considerable ex-
tent. It is cruelty to animals to compel
them to carry these heavy winter coats
into the hot weather. It is hard on the
constitution and vitality of the sheep and
it will lessen its appetite and thrift so
that immediate results will not be so good
and in the case of ewes with lambs the
latter will not do nearly so well if their
mothers are compelled to carry their win-
ter coats. The amount of product in fleece
is not increased, as has been supposed, by
late shearing. In fact, it is generally
very much lessened in both quantity and
quality from what it would have been if
attended to at the proper time.

Probably the largest wool shearing bee
that has ever occurred at one place in the
mountain States will be pulled off within
the next thirty days at the shearing pens
of Walter James at Black Rock station in
Millard county, Utah, during which 150
men will be emplnyed. There will be
70,000 head of sheep to clip, the fifty
flocks, owned by as many individuals and
companies, ranging in number from 2500
to 13,000 head in each flock. From these
will be sheared more than 1 000,000 pounds
of wool, worth at h-ast $125,000. Each
sheep ought to yield an average of six
pounds of wool. In order to accomplish
the task it will be necessary to shear
1133 sheep daily.

Dr. Geddes, representative of the United
States Department of Agriculture, resident
in England, tested during the past year
249 Herefords with tuberculin prior to ex-
port. Of this large number only seven
reacted, and it is stated that of these seven
he considered three only "suspicious
cases."

The "roast beef of old England," it
would seem from an article recently
printed in the London Mail, is only a
memory, and American beef has taken its
place. There have been quite a few a* tides
in the London press within a year's time
expressing substantially the same opinion,
and the American packers cannot help
but feel proud of having won the applause
of English consumers. The article in
question follows :

"England would not be England with-
out its famous roast beef. Patriotic Brit-
ons arestill under the delusion that by
paying the price they can obtain the genu-
ine article, 'as good as ever it was, sir.'
This is another of the pleasant fictions
which the faithful journalist is obliged to
shatter. As a matter of fact, the dis-
tinctive flavor which won the admiration
of King James has been slowly lost, owing
to modern methoos of fattening cattle.
Tenderness and juicy quality undoubtedly
have been gained by modern breeders,
owing to their scientific feeding of oxen,
but the original beefy flavor, which took
abmt three years to become perfect, is
gradually being replaced by quite unpleas-
ant flavors. For instance (and the British
Farmers- Association is the authority con-
sulted by the writer), Devonshire beef has
a distinctly 'turnipy' taste, due to the
roots and turnips upon which the beasts
are fed. In spring beef this flavor is most
noticeable, 'or n is during the winter
months, when pasturage is 6carce, that
the animals have to be fed on roots. If,
for one month only just before slaughter-
ing the cattle were fed on hay, this objec
tion would bo removed; but our cattle
breeders are in such a hurry to send the
animals to market that this month cannot
be spared when the demand for English
beef is great and pressing. Oil cake is
another artificial food that affects the
flavor. The taste of the oil is most un-
pleasantly perceptible when the food is
used to any great extent. But it fattens
rapidly, 60 farmers use it. Six weeks only
is necessary to get an ox into marketable
condition on oil cake. What, then, is the
finest beef for table? The answer will
come as a shock. It is, according to an
expert, the American who 'succeeds
again.' American beef, bred from the
finest English stock, has many advantages
over the home grown animals. The past-
urage in America is ideal. Sunshine is
abundant, and sunshine has a great effect
in the way of improving the flavor of beef.
The most exposed portions of the animal,
such as that from which the sirloin is
taken, are always the best American
beef comes over in chilled, not frozen
chambe s. If the 'ice gets into the meat'
the flesh becomes tasteless; but a cold
chamber, the temperature of which does
not fall below freezing point, arrests de-
composition without spoiling the flavor.'

The North American beef company of
Chicago has let a contract to erect a $200,-
000 packing house in Uruapan, Michoacan,
Mexico. This will be the first plant of its
kind in old Mexico and will be thoroughly
modern. The long distance and hot clim-
ate, added to the fact that refrigeration
on therouteis almost impossible, prevents
the shipment of dressed beef from the
United States to Mexico.

The executive committee of the North-
ern Montana Wool Growers' association
has fixed prices to be paid by the sheep
men of northern Montana for the shear-
ing of their flocks during the coming sea-
son. "For the season of 1902 we will pay
6 cents per head for yearlings, 7 cents per
head for sheep, and charge 75 cents per
day for board."

Wool Clip by States.

According to estimates made by the
government last year the wool clip was
not quite up to the average for the previous
year. Taking the country over, the aver-
age shearing fleece for each sheep in 1900
was 6 17 pounds, against 6 15 pounds for
1901. showing an inappreciable decrease
on the average of .02 of a pound. .

According to the weight of fleece on a
basis of the average made by States we
find the average to be 6.61 pounds for
1901.

It is rather an interesting fact that the
East and West break even on a heavy
average weight of fleeces — New Hamp-
shire and California both having an aver-
age of 8.5 pounds. However, quant ty
considered, New Hampshire produced only
410,301 pounds against 16,386,997 pounds
produced in California.

There is one prominent advantage that
the Pacific Coast, and particularly Cali-
fornia, has over the East in that the climate
enables many flocks to be sheared twice a
year, thus having a tendency to increase
the fleece of each Bheep.

According to the average weights of
fleeces, the States and Territories will
range for the year 1901 something aB fol-
lows, according to government report :

States having an average of S pounds
and over -New Hampshire, Vermont,
California and Texas.

An average of 7 pounds and under 8 —
Massachusetts, Iowa, Kansas. Montana,
Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, 'Washington
and Oregon.

An average of 6 pounds and under 7 —
Maine, Connecticut, New York, Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Colorado, Utah and Oklahoma.

An average of 5 pounds and under 6 —
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio.

An average of 4 pounds and under 5 —
New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky
and New Mexico.

An average of 3 pounds and under 4 —
North Carolina, Sonth Carolina, Florida,
Mississippi, Lou siana, Arkansas and
Tennessee.

An average of 2.8 pounds is the lowes'
of any state or territory on the list, and
Alabama carries off the very questionable
honor.

If one will but study the result Of the
above he will be impressed with one im-
portant point at least, namely, that the
EaBt no longer holds the great sheep states -
Of the dozen leading, according to aver-
ages, the East holds but two.

That the North includes some of th-
leading sections of sheep raising iB dem
onstrated by the fact that the twenty
eight leading states with an average of
six nonn'ls nf flpecft v°r sheep, are locate '

in the North, with the possible exception
of California, Utah and Oklahoma.

It will be noted also as we go South the
quality of the fleece decreases, as in the
cases of Southern cotton states, with an
average of leas than four pounds per head.

The methods of breeding do not account
for the change in every particular, though
we doubt not that there is a considerable
influence in the energy put forth by the
breeder in securing suitable rams to head
the flocks.

The great difference occurs in a direct
influence of the climate and elevation by
which the pasturage is exceedingly poor
in the southwestern states for grazing, due
to the want of substance.

It is interesting to compare the results
attained in Texas, with an average fleece
of eight pounds, and thoBe in South Car-
olina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,
with fleeces ranging from 2.8 pounds to
four pounds, with an average of 3 2. These
five states are in the same latitude, only
one state between them, and yet observe
the difference in averages. The result is
partially accountable to the fact that
Texas, on the average, is probably several
hundred feet higher, which, with change
of climate, is inducive to better pastur-
age.— Goodall Farmer.

PEDIGREE IN PART.

sJlRED BY SIDNEY &I93C, sire of 17 in the 2:15 list. 7 better than 3:12,3 better than 2:10. and Lenna
k~ N/„ 2:05^ (champion record), 3nd 96 in the charmed circle. Hattie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares. Com. Belmont 4340: son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2:18%
Baroua. his second dam, is by Woodford's Mambrino2:2l'i, and his third dam. Miss Gratz, bv Alex-
ander Norman 25. sire of Lula 2:15: fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to loot at; he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th, a half in 1:16, first quarter in 0:40'i, last
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than
any col 1 1 ever saw and do it easier. Walter S. Maben."

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big. good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a mnch larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself np without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep him down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays cott^ must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top. and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,

One special danger menaces those who a

live well, who can use champagne and fine T

' liquors, and that is Slight's Disc* -e. *

Posted clubmen understand this so w '1 %

that many have tests made every fe ■ y

months. Others drink nothing but dry 4*

wines. But still the deaths reported from fl

Bnght's Disease and Diabetes are iucreas- y

ing at a fearful rate. The last census re- 4"

ports show that since 1890 the increase has a

been nearly fifty per cent and that the T

deaths in the United States alone from *

above causes and diseases growing out of ®

them last year reached the enormous num- '2*

ber of 132.000. *

Hence the importance of every clubman *

knowing thisoue fact, viz.: That Bright's a

Disease and Diabetes are now positively T

curaole in about 87?£ of all cases. The *

Fulton Compounds are now saving the a

lives of hundreds, and will, when better T

known, save the lives of thousands who 4"
are now with little hope.

THE FARM OF THOMAS W. IAWSON.

Dreamwold Claims

If onr claims are found to be facts we expect to receive
the patronage of the public for our stud services and at
our sales.

Dreamwold's Motto:

•• STRENGTH— BEAUTY— SPEED."

Dreamwold Rules

One of the unalterable rules of Dreamwold will be. for its
stud service and its stock one price. Id deciding whether our I
prices are f3ir we ask consideration of our basis of arriving
at them;

First. We allow for no profiit;

Second. On our capital invested, $1,500,0U0, for the tirst
five years we allow for no interest, and after five years only
three per cent;

Third. We figure to get back actual cost of running.
based on employing only the best talent and paying good
salaries and wages, feeding our stock the best possible and
spending all the time and care necessary to break and educate
to the highest decree, and io keep in the highest and healchies
condition possible all animals in our charge.

If the animal-loving public will not willingly pay such
prices our judgment is astray, and Dreamwold wilL be
failure.

e

IN ANNOUNCING the beginning of Dreamwold I would say:
History tells us that Nature has been in the "business of motherhood"'
so long, her methods cannot be improved by mortals. Investigation
shows man can be of assistance in "shaping up" Mother Nature's produce
to fill the desires created by a growing human intelligence. Experience teaches
this assistance can be rendered only after one has first educated one's self to
Nature's methods, then familiarized one's self with Nature's product, and
subordinated "human impulse to easy error"' by patient labor and unfaltering
effort to produce predetermined .results. I believe there is no line of endeavor
that calls for a higher order of intelligence, a more varied experience, a broader
education, a more perfect control of temper, a firmer and more untiring patience
and never-let-up labor than the propagation and education of the animal com-
panions of man. In the education 01 man there comes a time when the inborn
will may assert itself to a freedom from its educator and laid-down lines, to the
betterment of self and the neutralizing of the evil effects of early defective
education, but never so with our dumb friends — they can only rebel from their
master to their own bewilderment and unhappiness. I believe, to breed- and to
rear our animal companions properly, one shouid first love and understand them,
and to do it successful!; one must in addition, have informed himself of the
doings of the world, to the end that he may know what are or should be the
proper requirements of those upon whose assistance he must depend for the sjp-
porting of that standard which he by intelligent investigation has decided best,
and then he must be equipped, by nature, education and environment, to reach
those whose assistance ho must have, first to get them to think as he does, and
next to support him by their acts. I believe man's standard throughout the
world for his animil companions is strength (health, endurance', beauty, and
then the power to win (in whatever they compete). I believe if breeders
will produce up to this standard, there will then be a waiting list of buyers

and a dearth of sellers at any price necessary to pay all expenses and give fair
profits to proiucers, and that breeders will be as successful as — well, as in any-
thing else which calls for capital, hard work and the highestorderof intelligence.

In asking for the patrooage of those who love our animal companions, for
Dreamwold, I claim:

I have by painstaking study acquired a knowledge of what that class desire;

I have by sparing no expanse — time, labor or money — placed Dreamwold
in a position to assist in supplying this desire:

Dreamwold itself is as perfect a- it was possible for me to make it, and I
have stocked it by first selecting from amongst all the noted horses, dogs, Jerseys,
and poultry, some of the very best, and then I have been very fortunate in being
able to secure what [ had selected.

Of course, there are very many reasons why Dreamwold may never
produce what I hope for, but I promise it will do everything possible to attain
the standard I have set; that it will under no circumstances compromise on a
lower one: that while Dkeamvvold asks for the patronage of the public it
will never deceive by attempting to pass counterfeits: that under any ana all
conditions the brand " Dreamwold " on an animal will mean it is just what
it is described to be — breeding, health, intelligence, education, manners, and
race or show qualities: and, lastly, that the brand "Dreamwold " will
under no condition be placed on an animal that 1 >h> not know is up to the
" Dreamwold standard." I believe there is infinitely more harm done the
breeding industry by dishonest description than by inability to produce what is
wanted. Once a breeder knows he cannot sell his counterfeit, the energy he has
put in his attempts will be devoted to producing genuines, and counterfeits will
become extinct.

HARNESS HORSES IN TRAINING in California
are very numerous this year. A partial list,
which does not represent more than one-half the actual
number, as but about a third of the principal training-
tracks are represented, occupies more than a page of
this issue of the Breeder and Sportsman and will
give district fair secretaries some idea of what elas6es
they should provide purses for. The green class is a
very large one among both trotters and pacers and it
looks as if three or four classes between 2:20 and 2:30
can be announced with an assurance that they will all
fill. There are nearly one hundred and fifty horses in
training at the Pleasanton track alone, and enough
entries could be secured there to make a successful
meeting. There are a great many private tracks in
California where horses are being worked this year, and
it is probable that nearly 1000 trotters and pacers are
being given track work in this State at this time.
This means an expenditure of about $40,000 per month
for training expenses alone and gives some idea of the
amount of money that is being paid out by owners
before a single official announcement of a meeting has
been made. It behooves every district board to hurry
up the announcement of its program of purses to be
offered as, while California horesmen are getting some-
what accustomed to a diet of expectancies and antici-
pations, it should be remembered that "hope deferred
maketh the heart sick" and some of them may get
weary of paying out money for training expenses with
no purses in sight.

f^OOD READING FOR EVERYONE is the adver-

tisement of Mr. Thos. W Lawson's magnificent

farm, Dreamwold, which occupies the full page just
opposite. In it Mr. Lawson sets forth some of his rea-
sons for establishing this great breeding farm and
some of the objects he expects to attain. A brief but
concise description of the property is given and will
astonish many as to its vastness. No wealthy man in
recent years has done as much as Mr. Lawson for the
good of the harness horse industry. Taking as his
motto, " Strength, Beauty, Speed," he has never hag-
gled over the price he was willing to pay for animals
that possess these qualifications and are likely to re-
produce them. He gave $50,000 for Dare Devil 2:09
and believes he has in him and Ponce de Leon the two
best stallions in the world for the purposes he bought
them for. Mr. Lawson wanted the best of everything
that his money could buy, believes he has it and will
try to breed the best. It is a most laudable ambition
for one who loves horses, cattle and all domestic ani-
mals. Dreamwold was not founded as a money making
venture. In his calculations for its future Mr. Law-
son allows for no immediate profit on the investment
of a million and a half dollars. Bnt he wants the farm
to pay its actual running expenses for five years and
believes that after that time it will pay a three per
cent dividend annually. It is to be hoped that his cal-
culations and expectations will be realized, and that
Dreamwold will exist for many years as a splendid
monument to its founder.

A STRIKE on the Market street system of railways
in this city which began last Saturday night and
which has caused every car of that system to remain
idle from that time up to the present writing, (Friday
morning) has placed the entire community under re-
newed obligations to its old friend and faithful slave,
the horse. Every horse that is able to wear har. ess
has been pressed into service from the youngster just
broken to the old veteran that should be retired on a
pension, and is doing much more than should be asked
of him. A police officer whose beat is on Market
street says that during the week he has seen but one
balky horse of the many thousands that pass him
hourly, but that the auto and loco mobiles are con-
tinually refusing to go, while all the profanity he has
heard has come from angry "chaffeurs." It is more
than probable that by the time this paper reaches its
readers the strike will be at an end, and the over-
worked horses enjoying a well earned rest. It is well
for us all to remember at this time that the horse is
man's best friend and pulls him out of more difficult
situations during the year than all the steam, gasoline
or electric contrivances that have been or ever will be
invented Like the immortal Washington, the horse
is first in war and first in peace and should be first of
all Nature's creatures in the hea.'ts of the human
family.

TEX $1000 PURSES offered by the N. N. Y. T. H.
' B. A. for its meeting at Glens Falls, in September,
close next Thursday, May 1st. There are purses for
tbe 2:10, 2:12, 2:14, 2:18 and 2:28 class trotters, and for
the 2:08, 2:10, 2:12, 2:14 and 2:24 class pacers. Glens
Falls is on the Grand Circuit, its track and grounds as
good as any in the world and there is always a big
attendance, as Glens Falls is a harness horse centre.
Every horsemen going East should enter there. Make
out your entries and mail them to Secretary W. F.
Bentlev in time.

FRESNO will doubtless he the place where the
Pacific Coast Trotting Hjrse Breeders Associa-
tion will hold its fall meeting, the date being a week
during tbe latter part of September or first of October.
The people of Fresno are raising a fund to induce the
Breeders to hold their meeting there and it is very
likely that the district agricultural society will give a
fair at the same time. By next week the Breeder
and Sportsman" will be able to make an official an-
nouncement in regard to the meeting at Fresno and a
program of purses will be announced. Fresno is one
of the most prosperous cities in California and the
track there, which is on property owned by the county,
is in first class condition now and will be kept so. The
Breeders should give a very successful meeting at
Fresno.

OAKLEY PARK, where one of the greatest meet-
ings of the Grand Circuit will be held this year,
advertisesseven big purses in this issue of the Breeder
and Sportsman. Oakley Park is at Cincinnati and
its meeting opens on the last day of September and
continues five days. The main trotting event is The
Ohio for 2:11 class trotters and for which $10,000 is
hung up. Horses must be eligible Monday, May 5th.
which is the date of closing entries, but they need not
be named until September 16th, which is only two
weeks prior to the race. This gives an opportunity
for substitution and almost guarantess his money back
to everyone making an entry. Besides this great
event there are purses offered as follows: $3000 for
2:19 trotters, $3000 for 2:30 trotters, and $2000 for three
year old trotters. The pacers have three purses of
$3000 each to contend for, the 2:09, 2:12 and 2:30 classes.
Besides these early closing events there will be many
additional purses advertised to close later. The Oak-
ley Park meeting will be one of the greatest in America
this year, and no horseman who races over East can
afford to miss it if he has anything of Grand Circuit
class in his string. Remember that entries to the
purses already advertised close May 5th. Send them
to P. M. Campbell, Secretary, Station O., Cincinnati,
Ohio.

ANEW REMEDY recently placed on the market
and advertised extensively in the papers devoted
to equine interests has the peculiar name "Save-the-
horse, " and is sold for the seemingly stiff price of $5
per bottle, but if it is all that is claimed for it, it is
about the cheapest remedy ever compounded Tor vet-
erinary purposes. Messrs. F. A. Woodward & Co.,
51 Stevenson street, this city, are the Pacific Coast
agents for it and sell each bottle with a specific written,
guarantee that it will cure, or the money will be
refunded. The cases covered are bone and bog spavin,
ringbone, curb, thoroughpin, splint, shellbone, capped
hock, exostosis, weak and sprained tendons, windpuff
and all lameness. Any medicine that will cure any one
of these ailments is worth a great deal more than five
dollars a bottle to a horseman, and when such a reliable
firm as the Troy Chemical Company guarantees a cure
or the money back there is nothing for any sensible
person to do hut to try it, if he has an afflicted horse.
We understand there have been a large number of
bottles sold since the medicine was placed on the
market here two weeks ago, and good reports are
coming in from the users already.

THE STALLION STAKE should have the entry
of every standard bred trotting and pacing stal-
lion on the Coast. Remember that it will be the rich-
est stake ever trotted for in California and that only
the get of the stallions nominated will be eligible.
Stallions owned in California, Oregon, Nevada, Wash-
ington, Montana, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah
and Arizona can be named and then all their foals of
1902 are eligible. Don't permit your horse to be left
out of this great competition between speed sires. If
one of his colts wins the stake it will be worth a great
deal to you. Read the advertisement in this issue.
Entries close next Thursday.

TWO STAKES FOR RUNNERS will close with
- Secretary and Manager Van De Yanter, of the
Seattle Association, on Thursday next, May 1st. They
are the Seattle Derby $1000 and tbe Ladies Plate $600.
If you will race up north have an entry in each.

Match Race at San Jose.

There will be some great sport at San Jose this
forenoon and a very fast quarter of a mile will be run
or paced, as the case may be. The other day a
friendly discussion arose between " Farmer" Bunch
and Mr. B. S. Krehe over the speed ability of the lat-
ter's stallion Alcyo 2:10. Mr. Krehe had worked
Alcyo an eighth in 15 seconds and incidentally re-
marked that he believed his stallion could pace a quar-
ter faster than any other horse on the track could run.
The "Farmer" doubted this, and offered to match a
mare he has that is a'pretty good "loper" against Mr.
Krehe's good son of Alcyone. Mr. K. was willing, the
only condition being that Bunch's mare should pull a
high-wheel sulky. And so the match was made and
the money is up. If the day and track are good the
race will be called at 10 a. m. to-day. It is to be quar-
ter-mile heats, best two in three, and those who have
seen Alcyo taking his work believe that Bunch will be
compelled to run his mare two quarters faster than 30
seconds to beat him. There is much interest in the
race, and several bets have been made on the result
by the trainers at the track.

Two Great Mares by Zombro.

There will be shipped to Cleveland next week two
mares by Zombro 2:11 that will set all the tongues of
the horse community over East wagging as soon as
they are driven over the track at Glenville. One is a
five year old called Julia M. that is consigned to the
Blue Ribbon sale which opens at Cleveland on the 12th
of May; the other is the four year old mare Italia
2:231, winner of last year's Occident Stake, and pur-
chased a few months ago by Mr. W. P. Murray, a
prominent member of the Cleveland Driving Club for
use at the matinees. Walter Maben, the well known
Los Angeles trainer, has both Julia M. and Italia in
his care at Los Angeles and says that he could have
driven both a mile in 2:12 or better this week had it
been necessary. He drove Julia M. a mile in 2:13* on
Friday of last week, the quarters being 34, 321, 34 and
33. Just how fast he could have driven her had he
"hiked" her along the last quarter is uncertain but it
would have been a second faster without doubt. The
track was at least two seconds slow that day, being
deep and rough on the first turn. She went a long
mile and Walter had to take her out around a harrow
that was working on the track. She will show 2:10 by
July to a certainty if no accident or sickness befalls
her.

Italia was stepped a mile the next day in 2:17*, the
last half in 1:051 and she did it so handily that every
horseman who saw her taking her work said 2:12 was
within her reach.

The horsemen of California are all enthusiastic over
the Zombros, and they are surely the coming cham-
pion trotters.

Entries at Oakley Park.

The early closing events offered by the Oakley Park
Association for its summer meeting at this well known
Cincinnati track filled well. The 2:09 pace, for which
$1500 was hung up, received 14 entries. Yelvet Rose,
the fast paciog mare by McKinney, is the only Cali-
fornia horse entered in this race. The 2:13 pace has
thirteen entries, Velvet Rose being entered in this
race also. Will Durfee has named Silver Coin by
Steinway in this event, and Myron McHenry has
3ntered his little black pacer, recently purchased,
Prince Direct, better known as Freddie C. 2:14J. In
the 2:30 pace there are fourteen horses named, O. A.
Hickok's Thornway by Steinway and Terrace Farm's
Velvet Rose being among them. In the 2:30 class trot
for a purse of $2000 there are 22 horses named. The
California horses make a very good showing in this
list, as there are three entered, viz: Ben Liebe9 by
McKinney, Coronado by McKinney and Zephyr by
Zombro. The California bred stallions Athanio,
Directum and Albert G. are represented by their get

in this race.

♦

Edwin Gaylord, the well known and popular Denver,
Colo., owner, has employed David J. Raybould, who
has for many years been one of the prominent trainers
in Ohio, to tra'in his stable of harness horses located at
the Overland Park track, near Denver. This is since
the recent death of John Blue. Mr. Raybould hn-
gone to Colorado and assumed his new duties.

JOTTINGS.

THERE IS a decidedly emerald hue to the strings
of harness horses in training in California at the
present time, and the green classes should fill well at
every meeting if fair purses are offered. From nearly
every track in the State where horses are being
worked comes the report that there are many horses
without records in training, but very few of those
-eligible only to the faster classes. In making up their
programs for harness races this season district boards
will have to use considerable judgment and arrange
classes that will best provide for the horses in actual
training. Every district secretary should post him-
self on the conditions existing, and have some idea of
the classes that will fill before arranging and adver.
tising their programs.

A very bad feature of advertising which has been
adopted by a few associations in California in recent
years, but which should be dropped by all reputable
organizations, is that of announcing big purses for fast
classes which it is known will not fill with the required
number of entries. These announcements have been
made simply to make the advertisement look big, and
with the certain knowledge that there were not suffi-
cient horses of the class mentioned to fill the race to
the satisfaction of the board of directors. I hold that
owners would much rather enter in purses of $500,
whore but five entries are required to fill and three to
start, than to enter in purses of $1000 with the condi-
tion that there must be enough entries to satisfy the
board. The reason for calling these races ''stakes"
instead of "purses," and making the conditions I have
referred to, is a good one — as not one association in
twenty in California can afford to offer $1000 purses
under any other conditions, as it would bankrupt any
organization attempting it. Gate receipts and privi-
leges bring in about so much every year, and the
directors know very nearly what they can depend
upon from these sources, which are their only revenue.
Knowing this they figure that unless they receive a
certain percentage of the purses in entrance they will
lose money on the meeting, so the purses are changed
to stakes and sufficient entries to satisfy the board
required to fill. Many a good race has been kept from
the program by this condition, but it also kept the
association trom bankruptcy. It would help matters
greatly this year if every district board, the State
Agricultural Society and the Breeders Association
world all conclude that these stake races will not be
advertised. Every association can figure approxi"
mately just how much money it an afford to give for
purses, and then make its program accordingly, with
no other conditions than those laid down by the
National Trotting Association, of which nearly every
association in California is a member. Then abolish
the fake offer of big purses for classes that it is known
will not fill, and the conditions will be healthier and
more satisfactory all around.

state would risk the criticism that would be made by
his constituents should he visit an adjoining state to
see a horse race. In those days a district association
could well afford to offer $1000 purses if it had a good
mile track, as the entrance was ten per cent and the
percentage from pool privileges amounted to thousands
of dollars. It is different now and the directors of dis-
trict associations must recognize this fact. Crowds
from San Francisco do not visit the county fairs as
formerly. Gate receipts depend upon the patronage
of home people and programs must be arranged ac-
cordingly. The fair association that caters to the peo-
ple of its own district will be the one that succeeds.
Racing is such a common thing here in San Francisco
that residents of this metropolis will not spend money
to witness racing on country tracks. The district
association that imagines it can give a program that
will draw crowds of people from San Francisco will
find that it has reckoned without its host.

There are enough associations in California that can
afford to give purses ranging from $500 to $1000 to
make a first class circuit of not less than ten weeks'
racing. The State Fair (two weeks) at Sacramento,
the Breeders' Association and the associations at Napa)
Woodland, Stockton, Oakland, San Jose, Fresno,
Bakersfield and Los Angeles are in the thousand dollar
class, but all of them cannot make up an entire pro-
gram with purses that large. It would be an excellent
thing for California summer racing and for the har-
ness horse interests if there could be a central or main
circuit organized of those associations that can afford
to give good sized purses. There should be a few of
$1000 each and the rest of the program made up of
smaller purses. Some of our California horsemen
cross the continent to race for $500 purses and they
will nearly all stay at home if there are enough races
of that value to enter in. Every district association on
the main circuit should give at least two large purses,
say $1000 each, and they should be announced early
in the year. If this were done and the events properly
advertised all the leading trainers would make nomina-
tions in them and having done so would also enter
liberally in the smaller purses opened later on.

The greatest drawback to a successful circuit in Cal-
fornia however, is the lethargy displayed by Secre-
taries and Directors during the early part of the year.
There is not an association in California that has done
anything more up to this time than to claim a date.
Nearly every association in the East is already pub-
lishing its entries to early closing stakes, but here in
this land of perpetual sunshine and continuous train-
ing, there has not been a purse or stake for aged
horses opened up to this time. Is it any wonder that
owners are slow about putting their horses in training
and are holding back to see what is offered before they
engage trainers, buy sulkies, harness, boots, etc., or
incur the many other necessary expenses to training
horses for a campaign. I sometimes wonder there is
any training here at all. California has plenty of fast
horses, but it has some of the slowest harness racing
associations on earth.

Some years ago when about the only racing in Cali-
fornia was that furnished by the State and district,
agricultural associations which gave one week meet-
ings during the summer and fall months, and the
Blood Horse Association that held spring and fall
meetings of not longer than two weeks in San Fran-
cisco, the country fair was in the zenith of its glory.
In those days there were hundreds of well-to-do busi-
ness men who looked upon the circuit of fairs as the
place and occasion for an annual outing and the oppor
tunity to wager money on the races. The circuit was
the place where business cares were forgotten for the
jime being and if at its close one's account book
showed a loss, there was little mourning over the re-
sult, as it was charged up to vacation expenses. Those
were the halcyon days when racing was a sport and
not a business, and the entire population turned out
to see the contests. It is different now. Six months
continuous racing here at the metropolis every year
has taken the glamour off the sport, and outside the
regulars who make a business of attending solely for
the purpose of wagering money on the events, there
are very few who go to the races except on holidays or
when some special large stake is on the card. Twenty
or thirty years ago here in San Francisco, a big match
race would be the talk of the whole coast and for two
or three days prior to its decision the trains from Ore-
gon and Nevada would be crowded with people coming
to see it. I remember seeing a train pull into Sacra-
mento from Reno in the fall of 1873, with two cars
loaded with a delegation headed by Governor Bradley
of Nevada (old Broadhorns) all bound for San Fran-
cisco to see the famous match race between Californian
and eastern horses at four mile heats. It would have
to be a very sensational race that would draw a like
crowd these days, and I doubt if the governor of any

Ukiah's Fair Will Open October 7th.

On its excellen t half-mile track at Dkiah, the Men-
docino County Agricultural Association held a very
successful fair last year and will try to repeat it this
year, as the following letter will show:

Editok Breeder and Sportsman — The Fair
Directors met on the 17th in»t. and set October 7th as
the day for commencing the race meeting and continu-
ing five days.

Much interest is already shown in the coming fair
and it is expected to excel any previous fair held in
this county. Last season the fair and race meeting
was so successful that it was not necessary to draw any
of the State appropriation, consequently this year we
will receive $1100 from that source.

Yours truly,

H. B. Smith.

Goodwill's New Turf Guide.

The first number for the new racing season of Good-
win's Official Turf Guide has just been issued. The
volume, which contains all the usual good features of
the publication, including the indexed form tables,
showing the performances of horses at all points where
racing has been conducted iu the United States, carries
the records of the present season's racing up to the
close of the Washington meeting.

A Day's Sport for Dixon.

Dixon, April 20, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — The directors
of the Dixon Driving Park Association will hold a
Mayday picnic and race meeting at their beautiful
park adjoining this lively town on the first day of next
month. They have a good half-mile track with grand
stand and stables, and there is a large covered pavilion
for dancers.

Three good races, all of special local interest, have
been declared filled for the occasion and it is certain
that genuine contests will result in each. The entries
are as follows:

Buggy horse race for named horses, purse $75,
divided 00, 30 and 10 per cent. Entrance ten per cent.
Henry Roberts' b m Dixon Maid by Falrose, dam by
Tempest; E. H. Dudley's b g Allendale by Falrose,
dam Bee by Sterling: A. H. Holly's b g Fallrose by
Falrose, dam by Black Dan; Emil Hollings' b m Bell-
rose by Falrose; J. A. Little's b g by Falrose, dam by
Tempest.

Three year old race for trotters and pacers, purse
$100, divided 60, 30 and 10 per cent. Entrance ten per
cent. R. H. Nason's Glen rose by Falrose, dam by
Brown Jug; A. H. Holly's b m Daisy by Tuberose,
dam by Black Dan: S. H. Hoy's dun g Donwater by
Bayswater Wilkes, dam by Don Marvin.

Two year old race for trotters and pacers, purse$100,
divided 60, 30 and 10 per cent. Entrance ten per cent.
H. H. Nason's b g Rooseveldt by Falrose, dam by Alex.
Button; Eugene Dudley's blk g Dart by Hector; Clar-
ence Day's blk f Donalicia by Don Marvin, dam by son
of Missouri Chief: Mrs. Ben Griffins' br g The Giggler
by Bayswater Wilkes, dam Clarabel by Privateer; E.
D. Dudley's dun f Lorna Doon by Bayswater Wilkee,
dam Bee by Sterling.

The buggy horse race and the three year old race
are mile heats, three in five, and the race for two year
olds is half mile heats, three in five. There is consid-
erable good natured rivalry here between the respec-
tive owners of these colts and, weather permitting,
there will be good racing and a large crowd in attend-
ance.

There are at present quite a number of good mares
and colts owned in this community and the class of
horses is improving as we have here the stallioDS Dic-
tatus, Falrose, Director Jr., Glen Wilkes and a son of
Oro Wilkes out of a mare by Le Grand. Near here
are the good horses Diablo, Bayswater Wilkes, and
Dagan, a son of Sable Wilkes, dam by Dawn.

Yours truly, Reube.

The weight of the heaviest horse ever known was
3000 pounds, or very nearly one ton, 700 weight. This
Clydesdale horse was exhibited at New York in 1889.
It was 20h hands high, and, although only five years
old, measured 32 inches round the arm, 45 inches round
the stifle or knee joint, 95 inches girth, 3-U inches
round the hip and 11 feet 4 inches in length. It was
of perfect proportions, with a head of 36 inches in
length.

The Santa Rosa Stock Yard.

This establishment is one of the leading, most reliable
and prosperous concerns of its kind on the Pacific
Coast. As its name indicates, the firm deals in live
stock of every description, and its business transac-
tions cover a very wide area of territory. It handles
only standard and thoroughbred hurses and carefully
avoids including any of the mustang breed in its stock.
Liberal advances are made on carload consignments of
horses and the ample facilities enjoyed by the firm for
disposing of these animals assure quick sales and good
prices. In the line of vehicles the stock carried by
the house includes every description of carriage and
all sorts of rubber tired conveyances of the very best
makes. It also carries a fine assortment of Whips,
Robes, Blankets, Saddlery Harness, etc. The firm
has abundant capital and makes it a point to deal in
only first class stock and first rate goods. During the
period it has been engaged in business the Company
has established an enviable reputation for liberality,
fair dealing and integrity, and those who have had
business relations with it havealways been thoroughly
satisfied with the treatment they have received. The
office and salesyard are at 1499 Market street, corner
11th street, San Francisco. Co. Phone South 864.

This Year's Futurity.

Announcement is made by the Coney Island Jockey
Club that this year's Futurity will be worth $70,000.
It is the most valuable race in America. On Saturday,
August 30th, it will be decided and a fortune will be
handed over to the owner of the winner. When the
entries to the stake closed on January 2, 1900, the
club had received 1241 nominations. Of this number
305 subsequently became void from various causes, 419
were declared out on payment of $10, 62 at $20, 10 at
$60 and 12 at $70, leaving 433 youngsters eligible.

The widely printed item that Martha Marshall is
the only pacer that ever won a heat from Dan Patch
2:04J is an error. Martha beat Dan a heat last year,
but the year before — at Lafayette, Ind., Sept, 5, 1900 —
in tho first heat of the 2:35 class Dan was beaten by
the chestnut gelding Milo S. by Reward J. 2:10} in
2:181- Milo S. lowered his record last season to 2:11}.
He is now being engaged on the Grand Circuit and is
said to have the earmarks of a coming star pacer.

HARNESS HORSES IN TRAINING.

Trotters and Pacers Being Made Ready on

Calitornia Tracks for the Season

of 1902.

Last week a request was mailed from the office of the
Breeder and Sportsman to a representative at
each training; track in California askiog- for a list of

the various associations who are now arranging har-
ness race programs for this season's racing. The
responses from quite a number of tracks have been
prompt and complete and we publish the same here-
with. It is probable that several additional tracks
will be heard from later on and they will be printed as
fast as they are received:

"Horses in Training," the annual published by H.
A. Buck, 571 Fifth avenue, New York, has been
issued. It contains the names of all thoroughbreds
that have stake engagements on American race
courses this year including the two year olds. The
book is printed neatly and bound in red leather and
can be had for one dollar. The horses are arranged
under the names of their owners, and are indexed
alphabetically. Name, age, sex and pedigree of each
horse is given. It is a very valuable book for race
goers.

Los Angeles Harness Horse Items.

Hotel Roslyn, Los Angeles, April 21, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— To go out

to the Los Angeles race track on any of these bright

- sunny mornings and see the many fast trotters and

pacers in training, makes one think he is at a first

class race meeting.

The weather god is being particularly good to
Southern California, treating the country to light
night rains and the best of sunny days, and the track
is in the pink of condition.

Walter Maben, of Stamboul fame, can be seen behind
the peerless daughter of Zombro, Italia. Just a few
day ago she stepped a mile in 2:16 and a quarter in 32}
seconds, doing it as tho' it was a mere jog. She is fat
and strong. Her new owner, Mr. W. P. Murray, of
Cleveland, is to be congratulated.

Mr. Maben is also working a very handsome black
pacer, three years old, by Titus, dam Lady Wallen-
stein 2:15. This colt is named Nelson; he paced a mile
a few days ago in 2:16}, a quarter in 32 seconds. D. J.
Desmond sold him to M. A. Henderson, of Coney
Island, for a four-figure price. Mr. Henderson also
purchased a gray gelding by Raymond out of the dam
of Italia by A. W. Richmond; this gelding paced a
mile last Friday in 2:17, last quarter in 32} seconds.
He is one of the most promising green ones to be found
anywhere. Walter is very sweet on him. Mr. Hender-
son certainly has purchased two very high class pacers.
It is his intention to have Mr. Maben work them this
year and make race material next year. He is a man of
means and good horse sense. Zambra, a big bay geld-
ing by McKinney, is in Maben 's stable; he is a coming
2:15 trotter, and nothing but an accident can stop him.
He took a record of 2:23 last year. He can trot rings
around 2:17 now.

A sorrel colt by that high class stallion, Monterey
2:09} out of Juliet D. 2:15} by McKinney, is the pride
of Maben's stable; no better looking or better gaited
trotter ever lived than this colt. He recently trotted
a half in 1:12}, last quarter in 34} seconds. He has
size, speed, and his breeding is beyond criticism.

Cornelius D. by McKinney is a green trotter in
Maben's stable, dam by Bob Mason; this gelding has
2:15 speed every day. Owner Desmond is preparing
him for the California races. Walter Maben says he
expects to bring home the money with Cornelius D.

Zomboyetta, a three year old filly by Zombro out of
the dam of Arrow 2:14 by Silver Bow, is one of the
most likely candidates in this year's Occident and
Stanford Stakes and it is even money that Walter
Maben wins these stakes with this mare. She is a
true counterpart of her great lire, Zombro, in speed,
gait, conformation and all, except that the is a bright
bay.

In Fred Ward's stable is McKenna 2:17 by McKinney.
This stallion is without doubt the best bred entire son
of McKinnev. He is of faultless conformation, a seal
brown, one of the best gaited and gamest of the many
sired by McKinney. Mr. Ward intends to race in
Colorado, Washington, Idaho and Montana. In the
same stable is the Tout, a busy going trotter that has
already trotted a'mile in 2:15, a quarter in 32 seconds,
and the green one who beats him will be doing some-
thing.

In Mr. P. D; Jonas' stable is the trotting stallion
Neernut. This horse has served 36 mares, all of good
breeding. Mr. Jonas is training Toughnut, a bay
pacer by Neernut, dam by Bob Mason. This pacer
has done a trial in 2:20, last quarter iu 32} seconds, and
can step a mile in 2:16 right now.

A bay filly, five years old, by Neernut, dam by May
Boy, has paced a mile in 2:25 with ninety days' work.
She has faultless action and can pace a mile in 2:20 at
any time.

A black mare by Neernut out of a dam of unknown
breeding is one of the nicest gaited and fastest of the
get of Neernut. In less than ninety days she has
trotted a mile in 2:27, last quarter in 35 seconds.

Cocoanut, a bay pacer, dam by Silkwood, is the apple
of Mr. Jonas' eye. He paced a mile in 2:21}, last quar-
ter in 32} seconds, and did it easy. He is a high class
horse. All these young horses show the best of dis-
positions and an inclination to do business in a way
that is sure to get the money.

Neernut will prove to be one of California's great
sires as well as one of the greatest of race horses,
which he has already proven.

Robert Hackney is training the bay mare Ramona
by Albion, dam by Electioneer. This mare is spoken
of by the wise ones as being a coming sensation. Mr.
Hackney is giving her a very careful preparation.
She paced a mile in 2:17 last week — did it easy.

In same stable is Richwood by Silkwood, a green one
that Mr. Hackney says will make the green pacers
step to beat this year on the California Circuit.

P. W. Hodges is training an unnamed bay mare by
the great horse Zombro. This filly is out of a mare
by Woolsey, full brother to Sunol. She recently

trotted a mile in 2:17}, last quarter in 32 seconds.
She is a high class mare with the sweetest of disposi-
tions and a faultless gait a conformation that can't be
beat. She is owned by Col. Mayberry. Mr. Hodges
is going to race her this year in California.

In the same stable is the horse, Stipulator, that Mil-
lard Sanders got so sweet On last fall. Thi» pacer is
being carefully prepared for the coming races and it
is even money that he will be a sensation.

The roan brother to Funston by Dictatus is round-
ing into form and he is said to be even faster than his
roan brother of last year that now bears the name of
Aguinaldo's captor. Hodges says he is a high class
horse.

Elijah Duncan of Walla Walla, Washington, who
owned and trained Antelope the good son of Nutwood
is training a filly by Red Freckles, dam by A. W.
Richmond. She paced a mile in 2:23 and is a good
prospect. Lige is also training Printer's Ink, a black
son of Altamont out of Little Maid 2:18. This trotter
is all that can be asked for in color and conformation
gait and disposition, and as a trotter it takes a good'
one to beat him. He has the bulldog courage of the
Altamonts, through his dam he gets the blood of
Happy Medium, sire of Nancy Hanks, and Hamble-
tonian Mambrino, sire of Carvle Carne, backed up bv
the blood of General Knox and the Black Hawk tribe".
He will be raced this year and his competitors for the
money will be obliged to trot some to beat him.

G. T. Beckers wears a big smile these days, in fact
he is the happy man of the track. His grand young
stallion Zombro has already been bred to 35 high class
mares and more a-coming, and every Zombro around
here is acting like a real race horse. I saw the dam of
Zombro to-day, she is soon to drop a foal to one ol the
best young stallions in America. Stam B Of course
to get a great horse one must first get a great mare.
When Mr. Beckers bought this mare from Mr. Withers
in Kentucky he made one of the wisest selections.
She cannot be beat from a point of breeding or of eon-
formation; flat legs, good bone, good feet, and Mr.
Beckers surely has a mint in this great mare. His
mating her with Stam B. was a wise selection, one that
will surely prove a rich investment.

Mr. Beckers is training a two year old, The Jester,
by Stam B. out of the dam of Arrow by Silver Bow;
this colt is a counterpart of Stamboul in color, mark-
ings and conformation, and differs only in the fact that
he has more speed than Stamboul as a two year old,
and it is doubtful if any two year old can out show
him. He is next year's Occident and Stanford Stakes.
He will do to remember.

A. W. Breuner, owner of the stallion, Stanton
Wilkes, is training Billy Green by McKinney, dam by
Echo, this big trotter can trot rings around 2:20 and
do it easy. He will take part in this season's Califor-
nia races, and it will be a pleasure to Mr. Breuner's
friends to see him out with a winner. He is a tireless
exponent of the light harness horse.

Wm. Durfee is preparing to go East and when his
car is loaded it will contain a few of as high class
horses as ever left their happy home. Coronado by
McKinney is the star. Petigru will also go back East
to race, and to see him trot a half in 1:04J one must
think he is a coming 2:10 trotter the first time out
Liejers by McKinney is one of the fastest trotters ever,
seen on tne Los Angeles track. Ben Leibes, by Mc-
Kinney, steps a quarter in 32} easy, with his good
looks, his good size, and that Robert McGregor blood
on his dam's side, one must expect a fast record. It is
a foregone conclusion that Ben will be a 2:15 performer
for his sire e'er snow flies again. Mr. Durfee deserveB
success, he is a hard worker and his friends here are
many.

I. P. Lipson, who raced and gave Zolock his record,
is training a very handsome bay pacer by Bob Mason;
this colt has paced a mile in 2:16, last quarter in 32}
seconds. He has a nice way of going and is considered
a valuable prospect.

In the same stable is a big brown pacing mare by
Ketchum, dam by McKinney; this mare has paced a
mile in 2:16, last quarter in 32 seconds. She is a good
actor and Mr. Lipson considers in these two pacers he
has a money getting pair.

Sam Washington, the colored trainer, is working a
very handsome chestnut gelding by Advertiser out of
a General Benton mare. This horse in a recent trial
paced three heats in 2:17, 2:16 and 2:14 and the way he
finished the 2:14 one makes the rail birds say be is a
sure 2:10 pacer the first time he is uncorked. Sam is
a careful trainer and a good 6peed maker; this gelding
was bred not in Old Kentucky, but under the shade of
the lone pine on the domain of the late king of horse
breeders, Senator Stanford, and sold for a small price
at a public sale held here by F. W. Covey. He does
not wear any fittings except harness, shoes and an old
sulky made over.

Vet Kent is training several fast green prospects and
it is a foregone conclusion that more than one of them
will be a sensation, as Kent is a genuine speed maker
and has the faculty of making good actors as well as
fast ones out of his equine pupils.

Most of our trainers intend to race on the Coast cir-
cuit, beginning at Ventura, as jit is rumored that good
purses will be given. Perhaps the boys who stay in
the Golden State this year will have a goodly share of
the "kale seed," as Mr. Bunch calls the money, when
the racing season of 1902 is over.

Now, we hope the track owners and secretaries will
soon declare themselves and announce some large
purses so tnat some of the trainers will have a change
of heart and stay at home and try to put harness rac-
ing in California on as good a basis as it is in the
Eastern States. Everyone is crying prosperity, so
we hope the associations will loosen up and give big
purses. The prices paid this winter for fast horses is
most encouraging. California has the best of stallions,
the best bred mares, the best climate and can and
does raise the best horses. Let's hope for the banner
year of big purses for high class racing and pros-
perity. Yours truly, C. A. HARRISON.

Chas. Marvin will breed his mares again this year
to C. W. Williams' stallions.

Just who will pilot the handsome White Plains pacer
Coney 2:02 this season has not been decided by his
owner, Harry T. Dykman. Coney can show as much
speed going a quarter as Star Pointer, and that is say-
ing a plenty.

L. M. Lasell of Martinez is the owner of an Abbots-
f°™ Jr.-Steinway gelding that Mr. James Sutherland
of Pleasanton is breaking and training that is a gopd
prospect, for when he had handled him just five weeks
he paced a mile in 2:251 easy.

Potrero, the "big," handsome stallion, born and
bred in Sin Die£0 county, does not trot for money,
but is being trained to beat the "world's trotting
stallion record" in 1904, whatever it may be. For par-
ticulars see advertisement of W. B. Prentice, breeder.

six with records better than 2:12 have already been
booked to Joe Patchen 2:01}.

The greatest stake ever devised in California is the
Special Harness Stallion Stake to close next Thursday.
It will be a very valuable one.

Belsire 2:18 will be traioed again this fall and will, it
is thought, reduce his record several seconds. He
could trot a half last year in 1:05.

W. H. Lumsden of Santa Rosa has sent a handsome
three year old colt to Millard Sanders to be worked.
It is by McKinney and is very promising.

It is said that Mabel Onward 2:101is looking finer
than silk this spring, and Scott McCoy thinks she will
"get a mark of 2:07 or better this season to wagon.

J. E. Conley of Saginaw, Mich., has paid $2000 lor
the four year old colt Sid Tborne by Sidney. He was
raced last season and showed his ability as a trotter.

Read about W. B. Prentice's $20,000 stallion that is
headed for the world's record in 1904. His name is
Potrero, and his advertisement appears In this issue.

Any person wanting a good buggy mare, city broke,
young and very handsome, can hear of one that is a
bargain at the price asked by addressing "C," this
office.

Another $10,000 purse for 2:11 class trotters closes

cultural Society. It closes Thursday next with Secre-
tary Jackson at Sacramento.

Dare Devil won the first prize for trotting stallions
at the Boston Horse Show last week, and Mr. Lawson's
other stallion, Ponce de Leon, won first prize for trot-
ting stallion and four of his get.

The rules of the National Trotting Association, as
revised by the last Cjngress, are now on sale at this
office. Price, 25 cents, post-paid, for paper bound
copies, 50 cents for those in leather.

It is said D. J. Campau will soon call a meeting of
the board of Grand Circuit stewards to consider the
relation of the Grand Circuit tracks to the National
and American Trotting Associations.

Mr. J. E. Snow, of Santa Ana, has sent his mare
Alcazette to be mated with Zombro 2:10. She is by
Alcazar, has a record of 2:36 and a trial of 2:26. Her
dam is Pond Lily 2:19* by Geo. M. Patchen Jr.

After trying hard last year to make the $17,500
stallion Beauseant (trial 2:07}) to go steadily without
very heavy weights on his feet, his trainer has fitted
him with a pair of hopples and he is now working
nicely.

William Cecil, trainer for the Nutwood Stock Farm,
has a colt in his string at Pleasanton that looks and
acts so much like Flying Jib that he calls him Little
Jib. He is by Nutwood Wilkes out of a mare by
Direct Line.

That good mare Georgena 2:071 has been bred to
Oakland Baron 2:09}. Her turf career may therefore
be considered ended. At her best — as when she won
the $10,000 Charter Oak purse in 1900 from Alameda
and Lord Derby— she was one of the best mares that
ever graced it.

It is said that James Gateomb tried to buy Ruth
2:14}, but when he found that it would take $8000 to
become her owner he held off. This mare worked a
mile last year at Syracuse in 2:10}. -She is by Re-
Election, brother to Expedition, and is entered in the
$15,000 Massachusetts Stake for 2:12 trotters.

It transpires that C. K. G. Billings purchased The
Admiral 2:07} with the view of driving him to pole
with Hontas Crook 2:09. He will take the pair to New
York in a few weeks, where he will drive them on the
speedway. AfterpurchasingTheAdmiralMr. Billings
drove him an eighth in 14 J seconds, a 1:56 clip.

Henry Duolap recently purchased" from William
Murray of Woodland a colt by Diablo 2:09} that is
very highly spoken of by those who have seen him
move. Mr. Dunlap has I Direct 2:12} and King
Cadenza 2:15.}, both in excellent shape at Pleasanton
and it is believed they will lower their records this
season.

There is a yearling filly in Kentucky whose breeding
is not only especially good, but very different from
anything yet registered. She is by Belsire 2:18, the
fastest stallion of the Electioneer-Beautiful Bells
family, her dam is by Baron Wilkes, son of Geo.
Wilkes, grandam by Red Wilkes, son of Geo. Wilkes,
great grandam by Guy Wilkes, son of Geo. Wilkes.

Frequently the question is asked as. to how much
insurance is carried on the life of the trotting cham-
pion Creseeus 2:02}. Owner Ketcham states that there
is no policy, either life or accident, on the horse.
This is due to the fact that none of the companies are
willing to write as large a policy as the value of the
policy dictates, and for that reason none has ever been
taken out.

E. W. Shanklin, secretary of the Kentucky Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association, will be assisted in his
office by J. B. Faulkner. Mr. Faulkner is an expert
stenographer and bookmaker and understands the
horse business well enough to get the names and
breeding of horses correct on the books even though
the parties making en tries write their en tries in Sanscrit
or Chinook.

The Los Angeles Driving Club will hold a matinee
on the afternoon of May 3d, at which time, in addition
to the races, there will be a parade of horses and
equipages owned in that locality. There have been
125 entries already to the parade. A feature of the
day's sport will be a race between Sweetheart, Prim-
rose, Sweet Marie and Cceur de Lionj. Vet Kent is
handling Primrose for this race.

Murray Howe writes to the Horse Review an interest-
ing account of the horses in training at Memphis
track, atd among otherR noticed has the following
good words to say of The Roman: "Dick Benson says
The Roman (3) 2:19 is better gaited than he was last
year; his action is more rapid, and he seems to have
more control over it. His fastest mile to date is 2:38,
with a last quarter in 35 seconds."

The Year Book credits Effle Powers 2:08J with 172
winning standard heats; 17 of these were won last
year. If she can put in 28 more in 1902 she will reach
the 200 mark— and as she is still sound she may do it.

We beg to remiud our readers that that green trot-
ter and magnificent horse, 3tam B. 2:11}, is still at
Pleasanton, where his services can be had at $40 the
season. It will not be long until the get of Stam B.
will be in great demand at high prices, and those who
breed to him this year will be wise. Send a mare or
two to Stam B. this year and you will be in the fash-
ion when your colt is old enough to drive.

The other day David Bonner said that after person-
ally driving the $9100 Futurity winner Peter Stirling
2:1H to pole with Black Robert 2:131, he considered
Mr. "Work in possession of the highest class pole team
since the halcyon days when Edward 2:191 and Dick
Swiveler 2:18 put the world's pole record at 2:10|,
driven by John Murphy. The crack chestnut gelding,
now a four year old, behaves like a road veteran, is
always ready for a brush, and stays with his mate
whenever placed in double harness. He is, in the
opinion of such drivers as Myron E. McHenry, who
marked his sire Baronmore 2:14}, Ben Walker, W. J.
Maloney, Mart Demarest, Orrin A. Hickok, George H.
Ketcham and Ed Geers, the most likely candidate for
the trotting championship available.

Sam Gamble writes us from Pleasanton that one of
the handsomest, smoothest gaited little trotting won-
ders he ever saw is a chestnut four year old filly by
Sidney Dillon, dam Lou Medium by Milton Medium.
She is owned by the Santa Rosa Stock Farm and is in
Millard Sanders hands. Sam says he will see her trot
a quarter in 31 seconds or better by this fall and then
after seeing a young Stam B. enter the 2:15 list he will
be Willing to shake hands with nearly all his enemies.

A new race track is contemplated by the Directors
of the Contra Costa County Agricultural Association.
The lower end of the old track was flooded during the
winter by an overflow, and ia not now in condition to
work and as a consequence no horses are being trained
at Concord. If the Directors succeed in perfecting
the arrangements now under consideration a new
track will be built closer to the town and on higher
ground which does not overflow. Quite a number of
the Concord horses are being worked at Pleasanton
just now.

Julia M., six years old, and Italia 2:231, four years
old, were snipped from Los Angeles this week to F.
W. Covey, Superintendent of the Palo Alto Stock
Farm, who will take them to Cleveland with the Palo
Alto horses. Julia M. is the property of Willard
Stimson and is consigned to the Blue Ribbon sale.
Italia goes to her new owner, Mr. W. P. Murray of
Cleveland, who paid $3500 for her a few months ago.
When these mares reach their destination Zombro 2:11
will have three great representative mares in training
over there— Julia M., Italia and the $9000 Zephyr.
They can all beat 2:15.

Ed Lafferty has received from Tuttle Bros, of
Rocklin, a three year old by Zombro 2:11 out of the
dam of Stam B. 2:11}. This colt is entered in the
Occident and Stanford stakes to be trotted this year
at the California State Fair. He is saicl to be a very
handsome youngster as well a9 a most promising
trotter.

The horses at Lodi track are working well. The
trotter Talisman stepped a mile in 2:17 last week, and
H D. B. worked in 2:19 Both are being handled by
Tom Holmes. J. Langster has worked Jennie S., the
pacer, in 2:20. Cranky, a bay pacing gelding, stepped
a mile in 2:25. Charley Whitehead is training Toppy
2:12}, but as this horse has his speed at all times, he is
only giving bim work that will stay him up for the
races. Mr. Whitehead has a pacing mare called The
Mrs. that is a great prospect. She has been a mile in
2:151 already. Delphi 2:12J is making a good season
in the stud.

The best foal that the old mare Mabel by Naubuc
has had since she foaled Directly 2:03}, that paced to
a world's record of 2:07} as a two-year-oid, is a hand-
some black filly called Reybel, by Rey Direct 2:10.
The filly is owned by George Davis, Esq., of Pleas-
anton, and has had but a month's work, yet she has
paced a quarter in 341 seconds very handily. She is
one of the best formed fillies ever seen at Pleasanton
and is a credit to her sire. Stemwinder, the dam of
Directum 2:05}, has dropped a filly by Rey Direct that
is one of the best looking of all her foals. Rey Direct's
get are all noted for size and beauty, and as soon as
they are old enough will acquire reputations for
speed.

Lottie Parks 2:16} dropped a fine colt by Boydello
2:14} last week. Mr. T. J. Crowley, owner of Lottie,
has sent her to Oakwood Park Stock Farm to be
mated with that grand young sire and game race
horse Owyhee 2:11}. The produce of such a mating
should be a good one, as both have shown greater
speed than their records, and it is Mr. Crowley's in-
tention to name both mare and foal in all the great
futurities next year. The late Thomas Keating fre-
quently stated that Owyhee should make a great sire,
as he proved himself one of the most consistent race
horses he ever drove through the Grand Circuit, and
he predicted for him a bright future in the stud. The
few colts by him now in training at the farm show
remarkable speed, and are very highly spoken of by
all visitors to the farm.

The other day a Santa Clara county fruit grower
brought a long-haired and angular specimen of the
equine race to "Farmer" Bunch of San Jose to get his
opinion as to whether it would be advisable to train it
for the races this year. The Farmer got up behind
the gelding, which was hitched to a cart, and started
around the track. After considerable persuasion with
voice and whip he managed to drive the animal an
eighth in one minute flat, with four breaks in it, and
found that every time another horse came alongside,
the prune man's horse would stop and seem to desire
to wait until the other went by. Bunch brought him
back to the owner with the remark that he did not
think he would do for the races this year, but if he
would take him home and feed him well be would be
willing to take him next year and name him in the
Milpitas M. & M. under the name "My Dear Alphonse, "
as the horse seemed to be determined on all occasions
to permit the other horse to go first.

One frequently hears extravagant statements regard-
ing trotters, yet if one should say that he knew of a
green trotter without a record that trotted a mile in
2:10 the first time he was ever harnessed to a sulky,
the statement would be received with great doubts;
yet there is an authentic instance of this right here
in Kentucky. Last season when Douglas Thomas
started on his campaign, he left at his track near
Paris a four year old by Oakland Baron that had
shown wonderful speed. The owners of the horse had
no intention of starting him, so his preparation was
in ended to be slow. So great was his speed, however,
and so easy did he take his work that those in charge
of him during the absence of his regular trainer were
tempted to give him a few fast miles, and late in tile
season, after having been a mile in 2:12 to a cart, he
was harnessed for the first time to a sulky and given
a trial, finishing the mile in 2:10. He has been a quar-
ter in 301 seconds, and is a rare looker, with almost
perfect action. He is known as Rythma, and is by
Oakland Baron out of Duchess by Stratbmore. Un-
fortunately he is blind and were it not for this faot
would be the most valuable green horse in America. —

When His Horse Lost.

"Of all the r ey stories that spring up when the
horses are running at Benuings, I think the one about
a certain Irishman who bet his week's wages on a
sure thing is about the best," said a lucky clerk at tbe
District building the other day to a reporter of the
Washington Star.

"The old fellow went out to the track to make a
killing," continued the clerk. "He had been tipped
off in great style to play one of the horses, and had
promised to bring Bridget enough money home to
buy a whole set of spring bonnets and clothes galore.
He rushed into the betting ring, where the odds were
100 to 1 against his sure thing. He reached down in
his trousers pocket and pulled out his roll. Carefully
he counted oft the bills. They were all of the mini-
mum greenback denomiualion — $1 — and he peeled of
en, leaving no core at all.

"Pat made the bet all right and then walked off
milingly. He began to figure out how much money
he would have when the winning numbers were posted.
It'9 a thousand, methinks, ' he commented. And then
he pondered. 'No,' he mused; 'begobs, 1 will have a
housand and tin.'

"Well, to make a long story short, the race "was
quickly run and Pat's sure thing pulled in last, about

The State Pair grounds presents quite a lively ap-
pearance these mornings, as there are quite a number
of horses in training there. Casto has seven head,
Pender has six, Mauzey six, Trine five and Isabel
three. The tra2k is improving with the weather and
the boys will be found trying to hold down first money
in some of the big stake events at the coming fair.

Lawson Wants the Cup.

Thomas W. Lawson has placed Boralma 2:07, in the
hands of the Gentlemen's Driving Club of Boston, to
try to win back to Boston the Matinee Challenge cup,
now held by the Cleveland Driving Club. The sole
provision of this offer is that the Cleveland club select
a date for the event at least one week later than the
Boralma-The Abbot match, which must take place on
or before Sept. 15. There is little doubt that the
question of dates will be settled satisfactorily.

The Challenge cup was given by the Boston club In
1900 to stimulate matinee racing. It was firs'; com-
peted for at Readville two years ago, and was won by
John A. McKerron, who was forced to a record of 2:10"
about which there has been much discussion and legis
lation. Last season Harry Devereux and his wonder-
ful wagon horse successfully defended the cup over
their home track. Should John A. McKerjcon win the
race this year the cup will become the property of the
Cleveland club. Boston will have at least two starters,

Answers to Correspondents.

What year did Lady Dooley by Black Hawk distance
May Queen in a race at San Jose and what was the
time?— R. G.

Ans.— November 4, 1869. The race was mile heats,
three in five, for a purse of $400. The starters in the
race were Lady Dooley, Regulator, Fred Low and
May Queen. The last named mare went to wagon,
the others to harness. Lady Dooley, driven by James
Eoff, won the first two heats in 2:33, 2:31J. Regulator
captured the next two in 2:32J and 2:323. Lady Dooley
won the fifth heat and the race in 2:333. May Queen
was second in every heat but the last, when she was
distanced.

last Sunday, and was sudden although not unexpected
to his many friends in California who have been aware
of his failing health for some years. "Bill" Langfordi
as he was familiarly known, was born in Brooklyn,
New York, forty-two years ago. He came to California
in 1894 and has been identified with winter racing here
ever since. He corresponded for several eastern papers
at first, was afterwards sporting editor of the Oakland
jTKbuneand at different times engaged in bookmaking.
He had the combination book this winter at Oakland,
but was a loser on the venture, it is said. He left for
Denver a few weeks since for the benefit of his health,
but it is probable that the rarified air of that elevated
point hastened his death. He was a sufferer from
pulmonary troubles and heart disease. He was. very
popular among his many acquaintances, and all ad-
mired the game and resolute manner in which he
fought for life against a fatal disease. He leaves a
wife and one child residing in Oakland.

It is always the unexpected that happens. The one

The Life of a Trainer.

To many looking on from the grand stand at a
Grand Circuit meet there appears nothing easier than
to sit in a sulky and be whirled around the track a
mile in 2:10 behind a steady-going trotter or pacer.
When the horse has reached the acme of perfection
there is much that is pleasurable about it all, more
especially if the stake won be of national importance
and the performer one that has quality as well as high
speed capacity. The trainer, however, has many
troublous hours in the process of development and
works very hard to bring about favorable results
many times. He must be always cool and collected,
courageous, a man of marked physical strength, tem-
perate in his habits, free from net vous disorders,
quick fitted and ever ready for emergencies. He
must be something of a veterinarian, more or less
skilled in farriery and of a decidedly mechanical bent
as well. Many of our present day advanced methods
of harnessing and balancing are the direct results of
trying moments.

Rarely are two fast horses to be treated alike, and
their feeding, stabling, work at both the jog and ex-
treme speed, and all else require not a little study and
close application. Some fast ones have been well nigh
spoiled during their colthood; others are of that dull
calibre requiring strenuous methods to bring to the
surface their better qualifications; not a few can brush
sensationally fast, yet are almost impossible to rate
milos so the finish may leave them with a reserve for
repeat miles. Others are hard to set away from the
wire, and at the end fully as hard to restrain.

The more important meetings take place between
July 1 and October lo. The trainer likes to take a
good horse by February 1 to begin his work, so as to
be ready by June 15 to work approximately as fast as
he may be asked to go to get the first money in his
class. Perhaps the horse had acquired some unpleas-
ant practice th.e season before. Now, this must be
corrected, and the trainer is at his wits; end to bring
about the desired result. It may be a faulty gait; per.
haps the horse may have become a bad breaker; maybe
got to lugging; at other times he went unaccountably
lame: he may prove a light eater; perhaps, again, he
showed the white feather. Vicious horses are hard to
place with a leading trainer, as they value their lives
above trifling with this sort.

On February 1st the expense accounts are started.
The trainer may have a contract, may race a horse on
shares and be putting his time and work against one-
half of the entrance fees and sending in no training
bills during the season. Usually, the leading trainer
receives $50 for working a horse till the racing season,
then $75 a month thereafter, with a clause as to a per-
centage of the net winnings. Ed Geers receives $100
a month straight all season for his best outside pupils,
such as The Abbot, The Monk, Onward Silver, Fred
S. Wedgewood and such stars as he consents to train.
A few take a horse at $40 or even $30, but they cannot
make much money provided they employ the best
caretakers, as the latter get $50 and $60 a month and
their board.

To-day the leading trainers employ a shoer at a
yearly salary, allowing him to do a little outside work.
It costs $5 to shoe a horse right and the shoer must so
construct each shoe to secure a desired result as to
gait. Sulkies, carts, boots and harness all enter into
the arrangement and receive not a little close atten-
tion. A horse should have sulky boots, and his harness
made especially for him and there must be absolutely
no lost motion, chafing or friction at any point.

The matter of feed is an intricate one. Feed must
be cooked, the oats screened from dust or foreign
matter, hay the choicest and fresh and clean, straw
such as a horse would be tempted to munch if hungry,
and the water of the best at all times. Nothing so
soon affects a horse's condition as a change of water.
Then, too, water must be heated for bathing purposes.
Witch hazel, rum, liniments, ointments and washes all
require close study and each is ever useful, or, rather,
invaluable.

Each star has his own special caretaker and an
understudy to help cool him out on race days or during
the workouts twice each week. The boys work hard,
but not much harder than does the trainer through-
out the active season. The hours of hard work are
between 8 o'clock and noon and the force must be astir
at daybreak on the day the stars are to be worked out
or raced. As nearly every trainer carries ten horses
or so, he divides their workout days so as to work
three in a set. Usually at a track, prior to the race
season, Tuesdays and Fridays are workout days.

First comes their cleaning and renovation of the
stall, then they are fed, and after breakfast comes
their jogging. Perhaps the caretaker relieves the
trainer of this. Ed Geers usually exercises The Abbot
and such horses himself. A mile around 2:35 follows,
then twenty-five tninutes scraping, walking and spong-
ing out, and a faster repeat is in order. The second

mile may be a drop of ten seconds after the seasotuis
advanced, followed by another yet faster, perhaps in
2:18 or 2:20, then another a little faster, with a good
stiff last half and a repeat back at the same notch.
Every quarter is carefully timed and rated just where
the trainer desires to go. A slow, or "cooling-out"
mile, with the last quarter fairly fast, ends the fore-
noon, and the horse may get two of these slow miles
before going to the walkiug path, blanketed, bandaged,
a sponge over his forehead and walked till he is at
normal temperature, then rubbed and brushed off and
put away.

A present the select division of free-for-all performers,
both trotters and pacers, are not allowed to go their
miles below 2:40, nor will they be for some weeks.
Mile after mile around three minutes are they driven,
kept under a wrap and coaxed back to slow metre,
until muscles are hardened and wind is good; then
they are dropped to 2:40. After two weeks from 2:40
to the faster "thirties" miles around 2:20 soon follow.
Ask any trainer and he will tell you that the hardest
thing he has to do is to drive the first mile under three
minutes. It seems very slow, yet many are the horses
whose disposition and gait were ruined while under-
going just this same 3:00 education.

A horse may have been worked too long, become
tired , got to going against one shaft or the other while
yet a little weak. He may have been whipped when
he broke, been yanked and sawed when he felt in too
high spirits, and as he improved his speed these un-
pleasant incidentals required many hours of hard,
careful work to overcome. The gaiting pole had to be
strapped on the shaft to straighten him and make him
place each hind foot where it belonged. Harsh bits
may have been applied to hold him with a degree of
comfort.

One of the most comrnou failings is the little matter
of jumping theshadowsof the fence posts, and dodging
wet spots on the track. Now and again you will see a
horse with a sheepskin roll under the blinkers or per-
haps a piece of patent leather at right angles with his
face line. These are to keep him from seeing the
ground at short range. He sees at a distance, but
cannot look down. Sometimes a horse carries a stick
attached at the side piece of the bridle and extending
back to the '*D;' on the saddle. It is to prevent him
from carrying his head one sided and pulling on one
line. Last season Douglass Thomas had this stick on
Iva Dee 2:12£ and Ed Geers, seeing it, at once applied
it to Shadow Chimes' outfit. Both improved and
possibly may go their fast heats this season free from
the somewhat ungainly paraphernalia.

Some horses, not a few in fact, draw their noses in
on their breast and pulling so bard are given to choking
down. A number of appliances are on the market to
overcome this. John Kinney rigged a "pole," as it
was termed, on Bay Star 2:08 in 1900, and she was
known as the "trolley mare" ever afterward. It was
attached to a band that encircled her muzzle and ex-
tended over her head between the ears, and to it the
check strap was attached, thus giving a leverage that,
try as she might, she could not overcome, so had to
carry her head poised as her driver willed.

Many youngsters have too fast workout with scalp-
ing boots on their hind feet. They cuff the coronets,
break wildly, maybe are punished, and the next man
to take them has to begin anew so as to gain their
complete confidence. Others are frightened and take
to pulling. Sometimes, if taken in hand auietlv this
can be remedied in season. Usually, however, harsh
bits must be used. A puller is the hardest possible
horse to train. Look at Anaconda 2:01f. The day
Jack Trout won in 2:01| at Brighton Beach with him
he was leaning back so far his body was almost
parallel with the ground. On the other hand, the
great Cobwebs 2:12, Nathan Straus' speedway trotter,
wears but a plain leather bit composed of two straps
sewn together. He takes hold momentarily when
squaring away for one of his famous brushes on the
road, then all is over and his owner Dever need watch
him.

Few appreciate the strength necessary to drive a
horse su^h as Anaconda, Prince Alert or Star Pointer.
McClary's hands were often numb after piloting
Pointer miles in his races so hard did he pull. Had he
not stuck to a pace and gone to an uncontrollable
break he would have surely run away many times.
Trainers have horses given to breaking at one spot
for several workouts and must study every side of the
case to locate the reason before going away to race.
It may be they strike somewhere, then the boots are
chalked so to see, when a fast mile is worked, whether
or not they hit themselves.

The late George West, of Chicago, had a pacer that
he knew could take a record of 2:05 or near it, yet he
would not eat unless the boy handed him his hay a
handful at a time or an ear of corn, whistling or talk-
ing to him all the while. The boy had many things
to do other than to be nursery maid to a hoppled pacer,
so West thought out a novel way to induce his pupil

to eat. He tore a hole at either end of the stall, so
that the neighboring horses could poke their noses in,
threw a bunch of hay at each point, placed oats near
at hand and called the boy off duty. Every horse is
like a boy, no matter how much food he gets, or how
good, if he can get some belonging to a chum he is
the happier; in other words, "stolen fruits are the
best." After a little the pacer realized he must eat
and eat quickly or his rations would be stolen, so he
ate. By degrees he became a glutton and to-day is a
king pin pacer— Sherman Clay 2:05$.

Years ago the Maine, trotter, Dr. Franklin by Gen-
eral Knox, was sent to James Golden to train, his
owner desiring to place him in the stud with a record
of 2:30. Golden persevered with him and drove him
several fair miles, but found he would trot the wrong
way of the track seconds faster, so the day he took
his record he reversed the usual order, and his 2:31
was trotted going to the right rather than as usual.

Vicious horses are bad at all times. Old Orange
Bud 2:21] remained a useful race horse until he was in
his old age, yet from abuse while jounger was very
ugly. A mere boy of 15 was his only friend, and he
aUowed the boy to do anything he chose with him-
He would lash his heels and strike or bite at his trainer,
yet the youthful caretaker petted h;.m, slept with him
and managed him when they shod him.

Some trainers, notably Joseph H. Thaver, of Lex-
ington, have a knack of teaching yearlings to trot very
fast miles. Others never have any success with young-
sters and rarely take one to handle. "Jock" Bowen,
now retired, was a very harsh-voiced man, and it was
said ot him that that voice was worth two seconds
training a stallion. He drove Mr. Bonner's Joe Elliott
by Edward Everett a mile in 2:15i before any trotter
had trotted a mile for a record so fast.

The trainer of the day is far from having the life of
luxury and pleasure it may appear at a casual glance
from the spectators' point of view. — Xew York Sun.

Won on the Long Shot.

As evidence of the ruling passion of jockeys to keep
their eyes open for good odds, a well-known horse
owner told this story: "One of my jockeys," he said,
" had been ailing for weeks. He had tried to doctor
himself without success, and I suspected that he might
be suffering from some serious stomach trouble, t
told him to goto my physician in Thirty-fourth street.
Dr. Blank, and see what he could do for him. I also
gave him money enough for his doctor's bill. Severa
days later I saw him and I said :

"Well, what did Dr. Blank say about your case ?"

" I did not go to bim."

"Why not ?" I asked.

"Well, sir, wben I got to his house his sign read;
'Dr. Blank, 1 to 2,' and looking across the street I saw
a sign, 'Dr. Dash, 12 to 1,' and I picked Dr. Dash for a
long shot. He proved a winner, too, and T'm feeling
better already." — New York Sun.

California Inanimate Target 'Association.

An important meeting of the Board of Governors
of the California Inanimate Target Association will he
held this evening. Secretary Street has issued the
following circular and mailed the same to representa-
tive clubs and sportsmen :

Dear Sii — At the meeting of the Board of Governors
of the California Inanimate Target Association, held
April 5, 1902, the following program, herewith pre-
sented was outlined for your consideration, for the
Tenth Tournament, to be held, if practicable, May 31
and June 1, 1902.

The shoot to be held in the city or town which
makes the best bid for it — money subscribed and do-
nated to be used as added money in all purses.

The financial report of the secretary of the Ninth
Tournament was read, which showed that the associa-
tion is now entirely out of debt, all accounts having
been paid in full, and a net cash surplus of $64.69 was
on hand.

By amendment, the By-Laws have been changed so
that the annual dues for club membership are reduced
to $5 per annum and without assessment clauses.

Secretary was instructed to notify all clubs of the
association that the annual dues ($5) are now due and
payable, and should be forwarded to him with a list of
the members of each club, and also the names of three
delegates, selected as representatives on the Board of
Governors of the association.

The said delegates are instructed to attend the next
meeting of the Board of Governors, which will be held
in San Francisco, April 26th, at 8 P. M,. in the office of
A. M. Shields, Crocker Building, where bids and in-
ducements for the shoot will be considered, and loca-
tion and program finally settled.

Every trap shooting organization and club in Cali-
fornia is earnestly requested to join the California In-
animate Target Association at once and participate in
the tournament.

We want your club in the association — if you have
no club, organize one. We want your town to make a
bid for the tournament, if you desire to have it. Any
way, wherever held, we want you and your best shoot-
ers, to be with us in this coming tournament. Northern
California, Central California and Southern California,
your crack shots can win honors and money under this
program, while the average shooter, and even the
novice, will have an equal chance in the division of
purses and trophies.

The Interstate Association Shoot, just closed at
Kansas City, was one of the most successful ever held
in this country. Interest in trap shooting in California
is again awakening. The restrictions of the game
law have curtailed the sport for live game to a short
season, and a lover of the gun finds keen pleasure and
a healthful pastime in smashing blue rock targets.
Ten events are programed for the two days' tourna-

ment, open to all members of clubs of the association,
aid by the system of distance handicaps, 14 to 25
yards, an equity is reached whereby theexperts do not
havo a "cinch" on first place, but affords the semi-
expert and the novice a fair chance for honors and

share in the division of the money except side pools.

The secretary's office will be open to receive entries
Friday evening, May 30th, and Saturday evening, May
31st, at 7:30 P. M., at Association headquarters.

1. Price of Targets — The price of targets (trapped)
in the tournament will be 2 cents ach, and deductions
from pools will be made on that basis. The usual de-
duction of 3 cents a bird will be made on trophy events
in which winners of last year's trophies are entitled
to the entrance money in whole or part.

2. Money Division — All moneys shall be divided
under the High Gun System, as follows: One money
tc every three entries, as follows: 45 entries. 15
moneys; 60 entries, 20 entries; 75 entries, 25 moneys,
90 entries, 30 moneys; 100 entries or more, 33 moneys.

3. In the E. T. Allen and Golcher Trophies E vents —
50 cents of the entrance money forms the pool, with
the added money, to be shot for; of the remaining
$1 entrance-3 cents vrill be deducted for birds, as has
been the custom in other tournaments, leaving a bal-
ance of 40 cents on the dollar, of which the winner
of the trophy at the last tournament receives two-
thirds; the remaining one-third will be added to the
pool.

In the Gold Dust Medal event conditions of the above
will prevail, except that the winner of the medal at the
last tournament receives the entire 40 cents on the
doll .r.

4. Ties — All ties for trophies shoot off at original
number of birds, the winners of which will not share
in the division of money.

5. Handicapping — The system of Distance Handi-
caps, 14 to 25 yards, so successful with the Interstate
Association, will be used in all events. This system
places the expert, semi-expert and the novice on an
equal footing, and affords all a fair chance to win
trophies and moneys.

Handicapping Committee shall be composed of the
secretaries or captains of each of the affiliated clubs of
the association, handicaps to be determined from the
club records of the shooters or their last tournament
record; decision of the committee to be final.

6. Rules — Rules will govern in all particulars not
otherwise provided for (American Association or Inter-
state Association).

Shooters will be required to enter each day for all
events of that day in order that squads may be kept
together. This arrangement is necessary to avoid an-
noyance and delay. If a shooter is unable to partici-
pate in a particular event, his entrance money for that
event will be refunded.

8. Time of Shooting — Shooting will commence each
day promptly at 9 A. M., and shooters in order to make
their entrance should be on the ground at least half
an hour earlier.

9. Change of Program — If from lack of time or any
other cause it should be impossible to complete the
entire program, the Tournament Committee shall
have power to cancel any event not already started.
Entrance money in such events will be returned.

10. Secretary's Fee — A fee of 50 cents will be
charged each day to all shooters participating in the
tournament, which amount will be credited to expense
of office and clerk hire.

The foregoing outlines the plan and also numerous
details for the tournament, and the same will be sub-
mitted for consideration at the meeting to-night. It
is barely possible that there may be later dates selected
for the tournament. A number of those interested
are of the opinion that the time of preparation is too
short.

It is also possible that an effort will again be made
to hold the shoot at Hollister. Holli6ter sportsmen

were very desirous of having the last tournament held
in their town.

This shoot should undoubtedly have the firm sup-
port of every one interested, business men as well as
gun clubs and trap shooters.

The officers of the association are: President, W. S.
George of Antioch; Vice-Presidents, J. B. Hauer of
San Francisco, W. J. O'Neil of Fresno, Thos. L. Lewis
of San Francisco, Edgar Forster of San Francisco and
Geo. H. Anderson of San Jose; Secretary-Treasurer,
W. J. Street of San Francisco.

Sacramento Bench Show.

President Wm. Halley and Secretary Matt Coffey,
of the California State Kennel Club, were in daily
attendance at the S. F. K. C. show this week. Both
gentlemen made a host of friends among the local
fanciers and secured a good number of entries for the
Sacramento show, which takes place on May 13, 14,
15 and 16. Entries will close on May 6th. Entries
mailed on that date will be eligible. The show will be
held under P. K.L. rules and should receive a good
support from fanciers here and elsewere. The more
dog shows we have on the Coast and the heartier sup-
port they receive from' fanciers, irrespective of affilia-
tion with either A. K. C. or P. K. L influences, the
better will it be generally for doggy interests. The
question as to which kennel government is to be In
vogue on the Coast ie entirely secondary to the initial
requirement — and that is, for all sportsmen, fanciers
and lovers of the dog to be in thorough accord and
observe that the interests of one are the interests of
all.

The judges selected are, .-.J. Lynn, all Terriers. E.
C. Plume, Cockers. Cbas. N. Post, Setters and
Pointers. Dr. Geo. W. Clayton all other classes.

The regular shoot of the-Oak Park Gun Club took
place at Sacramento last Sunday despite the threat-

.JOHN DAVIDSON'.

Terriers made a splendid showing with two of the best
in the country and a lot of other good ones benched.
The small breeds, pets, toys, terriers and miscellaneous,
while not so many in numbers, made up in quality
what they lacked in entries.

The judging went through expeditiously and with-
out a hitch. The awards giving, with but few excep-
tions, generel satisfaction.

The lack of transportation facilities, during the pre-
vailing street railway strike, is most unfortunate.
This state of affairs has militated against what would
have been the largest bench show gate receipts in
years It is indeed hard luck for the club, after
the systematic and persistent efforts and hard
work of the management to make the show a success
in every particular. Even under the handicap men-
tioned the attendance has been very good.

Among the out of town visitors we noticed were
Julius Redelsheimer and George Tinto, of Seattle; Mr,
and Mrs. O. J. Albee, of Lawrence; Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
R. Harker, of San Jose; Mr. and Mrs. Phil C. Meyer,
of San Mateo; R. M. Dodge, of Stockdale Kennels,
Bakersfield; Mrs. Thos. Murphy, owner of tbe Gabilan
Kennels, Hollister; A. P. Vredenburgh, of New York,
Secretary of the A. K. C; Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Carno-
cban, of New York.

Time and space before going to press prevents the
more elaborate mention which the show is entitled to.
A full report and list of awards will appear next week.

The Capital City Blue Rock Club held its annual
meeting at Sacramento on the evening of April 17th,
It was very largely attended and much enthusiasm
prevailed. James Contell presided and Andrew Just
was Secretary. After reports and communications
were disposed of the election of officers for the ensuing
year took place, as follows; President, George F.
Wittenbrock; First Vice-President, Gailey Graham;
Second Vice-President, Louis Webber; Secretary and
Treasurer, Andrew Just, Captain Frank J. Rubstaller.

The following committees were appointed : Classifica-
tion— Frank Newbert, F. J. Rubstaller, O. L. Stevens,
H. J. Vetter, James Contell. Emblems and Bars—
Gailey Graham, L. S. Upson, W. Maxwell. Tbe
Exe'cu&ive Committee will consist of the officers.

H. J. Vetter and O. Herold were awarded the club's
gold medals for the two best scores of the year, twenty-
five straight each. The club has a membership of
over ninety, and is looking forward to the coming
tournament of May 17th and 18th, hoping to win the

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The famous old Ch. Warren Safeguard died recently.
He was by Champion Venio out of Eggsford Sapphire
and in his time has made history in Fox Terrier annals.
He was not unknown on the Coast; several of his
progeny have been potent factors among the sprightly
breed here.

Portland fanciers have organized the Pacific Coast
Dog Owners Protective Association. The object of
the association is to protect owners against dog thieves
and dog poisoners. Legislation for the protection of
dog owners will be asked at the next session of the
Washington Legislature.

The Collies Bonnie Doone, owned by Mrs. Judge
Thomas of Seattle, tbe winner of three firsts; Laddie,
owned by Alexander Grubb of Ballard, Wash., reserve
in puppies, and Princess Ithyn, owned by E. M.
Williams of Seattle, first in puppy bitches, were all
from a litter by Thos. S. Griffith's Imp. Lenzie Prince
out of Heather Belle. This is a very good showing
for the first litter on the Coast to the imported Scotch
dog.

Portland Bench Show.

The faithfulness of a dog was illustrated by an inci-
dent which happened on the highway near Anderson,
Shasta county, recently. The family from the Ogburn
ranch had been to town, and on starting homeward a
sealskin cape belonging to one of the ladies dropped to
the road without being noticed. The handsome shep-
herd dog (Collie) that trotted behind the carriage saw
the cape fall, and lay by it, though the family drove
on. A passing teamster sought to rescue the oape,
when the dog fought him furiously and drove him off.
A neighbor who recognized the fur, and who also knew
the dog, was kept at an equal distance. Even with a
stick he could not even beat off the dog, 'and, left the
cape. Half a dozen persons tried during the afternoon
with the same result. When darkness came the dog
merely curled up on the fur and kept his eyes wide
open. It was midnight when one of the family, jour-
neying back in haste, picked up the cape and its faith-
ful guardian.

Like all good things, Jackson's Napa Soda has
dozen counterfeits. Watch out 1

The show in Portland last week was a success from
start to finish. Entries numbered 286 and in quality
were of a good standard all through. Mr. Fred Man-
sell of London, England, judged all classes. There
was a little ''hard kicking" at some of the decisions,
but in the main Mr. Mansell's awards gave general
satisfaction, particularly in the terrier classes.

The arrangements and management of the show was
satisfactory to exhibitors and visitors alike, the exhi-
bition was well attended and excellently conducted.
The officers of the Portland Kennel Club are Dr. E. F.
Tucker, president; J. A. Taylor, vice-president; W. B.
Goldman, treasurer; W. W. Peaslee, secretary. F. B.
Thorn, W. B. Fechheimer and E. House, board of
directors and bench show committee, G. H. Fleming,
superintendent and S. J. Carney, veterinary 6urgeon.

Complaints About Cartridges.

Sportsmen should not be too ready to lay complaints
at the doors of their gunmakers or sporting- goods
dealers where ammunition supplied proves defective.
Nor should they always believe that all eccentricities
in the shell on the other hand can be placed to the
account of the nitro compound now so universally used
in them. There are many other causes besides these
two — loading and powder — that may account for
charges of shot sticking a few inches up the barrel, or
occasional shells fizzling off with no more strength
than is given by a popgun. For such faults the gun-
maker and the powder or ammunition manufacturer
too often get all the blame by sportsmen who do not
stop to enquire»or investigate into the real origin of
the evil. The shells may have been badly loaded, they
may have contained powder that by some cause had
deteriorated, but the chances are very much against
either occurrence. The manufacturers of all the nitro
compounds take very great care and pains to ascertain
that their products are beyond and above suspicion
before they risk their reputations by sending them
out. Loaded by a gunmaker, firm or dealer of stand-
ing, who take every precaution to use only the Dest
materials aDd to pay good wages to experienced oper-
ators and loaders, there is small chance of a mistake
on his part being- at the bottom of the mischief when
occurring. May not the want be found in the primer?
Sporting- opinion has now come round to the view lhat
it very often is in that small but important part of the
shell that the cause of annoyance by missfires and in-
effective discbarges is to be discovered. The burden
borne by the manufacturer of primers just now is no
light one, having to deal as he must with so many
varieties of explosives, and so maDy varieties of caps
required for each kind of powder. But even he may
be guiltless of mistake, and the result of a thorough
examination often is that the shell is all that it should
be, but that the strikers of the gun have become worn
down or loosened, so as to be unable to do their proper
work in the ignition of the primers or caps.

Besides all these possible weaknesses with material
daily used by every shooter, there are several others
known to mechanical minds that may easily account
for disappointment in the discbarge of shells from a
shotgun. But we have probably said enough to cau-
tion some sportsmen from flying readily to conclusions
as to miss fires and such mishaps in shooting-. They
are really incapable of thoroughly examining all the
possible sources of error in the gun itself, or in the
shells used in shooting with it, however well informed
they may be, however much confidence they may have
in their ability to decide such a technical question.
It is, in short, almost impossible for the ordinary
gunner to correctly decide off-hind that the powder,
or the cap, or the gun, manufacturer is to blame for
his annoyance by unexpected mishaps in the field.
His only wise course where such occur is to send his
gun to the maker of it, along with samples of the shells
he is using, and ask him to investigate the cause of
the failure and, if ascertained, to remedy it. It is
only fair to all concerned that this course should be
adopted before blame is cast upon the shells, their
contents, or their construction.

In this respect we will say fThat we have rarely heard
complaints made where Selby factory loaded she. Is, or
Golcher hand loaded shells, were used and where Du
Pont, Hazard, Shotgun Rifleite, llE. C," Schultze or
Ballistite Powder was used loaded in U. M. C. shells.

In this respect we will refer to a paragraph in the
previous issue of this journal, on page 11, which briefly
relates some causes of breech actions clogging. We
have frequently seen guns used at the Ingleside trap
grounds that showed in the muzzles of the barrels a
fair number of uabumed minute tablets of the smoke-
less powder used. Upon an examination of several
guns these powder tablets could be plainly seen in
several portions of the breech mechanism.

The Gun of the Future.

New Zealand Trout.

It seems scarcely credible ia these days that only
ieventy-four years ago, within the possibility of
•emembrance of sportsmen now living, the renowned
Jolonel Hawker, the patron of Joe Manton, and the
oest of our early sporting writers, should have pro-
aounced the fixed opinion that " the more shots I fire.
;he more I am persuaded that the flint gun shoots the
strongest into the bird, and by far the easiest against
;he shoulder. " Colonel Hawker had evidently at that
sime tried the new-fangled gun, as he imagined it, with
the percussion cap on the nipple, and had decided
against it in his own mind as inferior to his old wea-
pon, where flint and steel were the means of igniting
the powder charge. "What a change has tho interval
between then and now brought to the shooter,
specially to the veteran sportsman whose memory is
jble to run back to the days of muzzle-loaders, with
ill their troublesome paraphernalia of powder-flask,
shot-belt, caps, wads, and ramrods ! To such experi-
anced gun-lovers the thought must often come, as they
load their hammerless, ejecting double-barrels with
Single triggers and automatic safeties, how greatly
sportsmen aro indebted to gunmaking skill for the
enormous improvement wrought in the shotgun within
the last half-century.

What the shotgun may have developed into when
we come to the end of the next fifty years would be
difficult to imagine, though we have heard some snorts-
men hazard the guess that the game gun of the future
is not unlikely to be found taking the form of a maga-
zine automatic firearm, filing eight or ten cartridges
,without reloading. Other sportsmen, again, hold that
they would not use such a weapon for game-shooting
were it now put into their hands; that it would be cer-
tain to be a clumsy, unwieldy gun, that it would not
be half as pleasant to shoot with as a present-day
breechloader of the hammerless description, with
ejecting mechanism of the best kind, automatic safeties
xndt perhaps single-triggers. With such guns, they
maintain, they can get as much pleasurable shooting
■*s they desire, there being really nothing that they
wish improved in their construction. The Americans
have been developing the shotgun on magazine lines,
but we do not find that their inventions in repeating
guns have got the slightest hold upon the regard of
English sportsmen, nor can we think for a moment
that, as now made, they are ever likely to do so. But
in this age of progress it is difficult to foresee what the
future may contain for the gunner. The small car-
tridge, however unsuitable it may have proved for
usein breechloaders that are not bored to fit it, indi-
cates the line of progress that our ammunition of the
future is most likely to take.

The reduction in size of the cartridge may have been
retarded for some years by the unwisdom of its advo-
cates in recommending the use of the short shell in
guns for which it is absolutely unfitted and in which it
might be dangerously destructive, but no one seems
able to deny that the time will come when the size of
the present game cartridge, along with the size of the
chamber of the gun it is fired from, will be very much
reduced. That seems to be the opinion most decidedly
of those experts best qualified to judge as to what is
likely to be the cartridge of the future. It is even
entertained as a pious opinion of those manufacturers
of gunpowder themselves who make a large income
out of the present cartridge, but are prepared to meet
such an eventuality as a decided change in sporting
opiuion favoring the reduction in size of sporting
ammunition. That can only be effected by the con-
centration of the explosive used, and though con-
centrated explosives may have a decided set-back by
the injudicious advocacy last year of their use in cases
that, though small, have been guaranteed to suit all
aod every chamber in a 12-bore, there can be little
doubt that, as times goes on, they will again progress
in favor as guns are built and bored to suit smaller
shells.

The reduction in size of the cartridge, then, which
seems the certain line of progress in sporting ammuni-
tion would, to a certain extent, favor the popularity'
of a magazine shotgun. For if the cartridge can safely
and effectively be reduced to two inches when used in
a suitable gun, it may not be impossible to reduce its
size still further until it reaches the point when to the
number of eight or ten it would not take up magazine
room to an extent that would inconvenience the
shooter, or lead him to regard his gun as unwieldy and
unsightly. We are looking at the matter, of course,
purely from the shooter's point of view, without con-
sidering the mechanical difficulties that may have to
be surmounted in any further improvements in our
shotguns. But, as we have said, the improvements
affected within the last half century could never have
been dreamed of by sportsmen of the standing, -for
QStance, of the famous Colonel Hanker, who knew
ilmost as much about gunmaking as Joe Manton him-
self. How they would "both have gasped with aston-
shment if a hammerless, ejecting, safety single trigger
?un had been placed, seventy five years ago, in their
ciands! They both then regarded the flint gun as the
icme of perfec ion. May we not be equally blind as to
ffhatis to be the sporting gun of the future, and that
'uture not seventy-five years ahead of us either. If a
'adical alteration does occur in the making of game
>uns in the future, it is very likely to be occasioned by
in equal change in the explosives that are to be used
n them. — Hod and Gun. _

The Sportsmen's Berieie states that at the recent,
shoot at Kansas City Phil Bekeart, of 'Frisco, had an
nterested crowd about him on the first day of the
3 Av H., while he told some "tall" goose shooting
stories. They may have been "tall." but Phillcnows
» good story when he sees Hand he can tell one, too.

An interesting account of the trout found in the
streams of New Zealand, their habits, etc., is given
by "Tweedside" in the Auckland Weekly Press. The
writer is evidently a devotee of the gentle art and tells
the story of the acclimatized game fish in theantipodes
in the style that anglers will appreciate:

Notwithstanding that the period extending from
April 1st to Soptember 30th is an off season with ang-
lers, it is the most important in each year; and on its
being more or less favorable to the trout spawning in
their natural condition depends both the quantity and
quality of the fish in our rivers, and also the pleasure
and profit of anglers for several years following.
Hitherto the literature dealing with trout acclimatized
in New Zealand has dealt chiefly with catching them,
while their more interesting habits during the close
season have been rarely, or at least very meagerly,
studied. But the perfect study of the spawning habits
of the several species of salmonidiv acclimatized in the
creeks, lakes, and rivers would require much time and
travel every year, yet it is the class of work requiring
to be undertaken. For several years past I have been
able to devote some time in each year to observing the
spawning habits of trout in the Ashburton river, and
in the lakes in the Public Domain. No previous year
has been more favorable for such observations than
the past, which is also a very successful spawning
season. Owing to the chilly, damp summer, the trout
at the close of the fishing season, April 15th, were in a
forward breeding condition, and exhibited signs of
spawning fully a month earlier than in former years.
Throughout the month of May and until June loth,
we experienced a return of almost summer weather,
which materially checked the breeding instinct, and
caused the fish to retreat into, and remain concealed,
in the stronger currents and deeper pools. A few cold
nights, with light S. W. wind, nearly reaching the
freezing point, induced many medium sized fish to run
into the smaller streams and ripples in seaich of
spawning grounds. On the 20th and two following
days 2.008 inches of rain, with sleet, fell at Ashburton,
followed by hard frosts, which continued more or less
severe until the 20ch of July. Owing to the long spell
of dry weather before the rain, the river rose very
little, but soon subsided, and the water cleared. Since
the rain the natural conditions necessary to assure
successful trout spawning have been perfect. On July
12th many of the medium sized fish of both sexes, and
of several species, were clean spawned, at which time
they are generally wretchedly thin, and in a somewhat
pitiable condition. A microscopical examination of
some ova collected on several occasions on their spawn-
ing beds showed it to be healthy and fertile and fully
developed.

The spawning of fish is a remarkable phenomenon
in the economy of Nature. In order to study perfectly
the spawning habits of fish, especially the salmonida?,
the water must be clear, or nearly so. Great care is
necessary in approaching, or when moving or stand-
ing near the spawning beds to avoid disturbing them.
In the Ashburton river they spawn on very different
sites, and in various depths of water, and are to be
observed daily in the season when the water and
weather are suitable. The several species inhabiting
the river differ somewhat in the time and their habits
of spawning.

The California salmon trout is the first to spawn.
If the river be low and clear in the months of May and
June, most of the larger fish of all the species remain
concealed in deep water, but some may frequently be
seen leaving their daily resort about 4 o'clock or later,
and slowly working their way up the streams in search
of suitable sites on which to form their spawning beds.
The greater number of these beds are selected near
the bottom of the deeper ripples, where the water
widens out on the clean shingle, and frequently in the
ripples. The larger fish of each species spawn at the
bottom of the ripples near where the water is deep,
nto which they dart when disturbed. The medium
sized and smaller fish generally run up the smaller
streams, a favorite site for them being where two
streams meet and produce a rippling eddy, which they
instinctively know assists to conceal them. The
mimetic resemblance, or close assimilation of their
semi-transparent colors to the water, and their sur-
roundings, also afford them much protection. For a
week before they commence spawning they may be
seen forming long pits in the shingle by a rocking
movement of the body and a vigorous scooping action
of the tail. "When thus engaged they often lie quite
over on their side, and show their silvery underparts.
On sites where the shingle is deep and clean, and the
fish numerous, they move and ridge up enormous quan-
tities of it while forming the spawning beds. As the
breeding instinct develops, and the fish assemble on
the chosen sites, the males frequently fight and dash
fiercely after each other, On the 8th of July last year
I captur da three-pounder male brown trout fleeing
before a larger individual, which chased him into
shallow water, and almost ashore. He was in prime
condition, and had a fresh wound just behind the
pectoral fin. I observed the milt to be in a slightly
immature condition and immediately returned it to
the deep stream. The fish occasionally caught by
anglers having healed scars and wounds on various
parts of their body are generally males, their wounds
being the effects of encounters between rival suitors
during the amorous season. In their natural state
the habits of fish are much more difficult to study and
work out perfectly than when they are confined in
small pondSj living'in a partly domesticated condition.
The student would require to spend every favorable
day on the river, and'be a keen and accurate observer
to 'be able to work out and record perfectly every
detail in the interesting habits of trout during the
spawning season, more especially when Beveral species
and several distinct hybrids are present. The ques-

tion, however, of hybridization and hybrids in the
acclimatized salmonidaj I leave for a future article.

The temperature of the water in the different rivers
must be the chief factor in regulating the spawning
season of trout. In the Ashburton, Opihi and Selwyn
rivers the fish spawn earlier than they do in the colder
glacier streams of the Rakaia, Rangitata and Waima-
kariri. Last year I saw two fomale brown trout
brought from the mouth of the Rakaia in the second
week of October, which were too poor to kill and eat,
and which unquestionably had not spawned more than
a month before their capture. I cannot, however
discuss the matter perfectly, as I have had few oppor-
tunities of observing the habits of trout in these rivers.

When the pits are scooped out by the fish in the
shingle ready to receive Jhe spawn, the male and
female fish lie close together on their bottoms, mean-
while swaying gently together with the action or the
water. The clean, loose shingle is raised into heaps
and ridges behind them, into which both the milt and
o /'a collect. When the ova are deposited they instantly
come in contact with and absorb the milt, which enters
the sperm tube and impregnates the germ; but a pro-
digious number of ova from almost every spawned
female must perish annually from non-impregnation.
The best method of obtaining the ova for examination
is to lift the shingle containing it carefully in a bucket,
and spread it out gently on the sand shore. If the
process is repeated from the third week in July to the
second in September, the ova may be obtained illus-
trating all stages of development onward to yourio-
fry. During an afternoon spent in the middle oi July
at the mouth'of the Ashburton river I observed some
magnificent sea trout and other species busily engaged
spawning in the deeper streams The fish appeared
to be in remarkably fine condition, and had worked
out and ridged up enormous quantities of shingle.
After depositing a number of ova they perform several
backward and forward movements, meanwhile making
a vigorous use of their tail, covering them in the
shingle. When the young fry appear and become
numerous in September and October Nature provides
them with abundant noui'ishing food in the form of
minute flies, which hatch out and swarm in myriads
on the surface of the stiller and shallower pools, into
which the fry repair and subsist on them. These
dense swarms of minute flies are familiar to all observ-
ant anglers as they rise from the damp sandy margins
of the pools.

In regard to the Loch Leven trout spawning in the
Ashburton river, I regret that, owiDg to its rarity, I
have not been able able to observe its habits in the
spawning season. My opinion is that it is the last
species to spawn. Five lears ago I caught a female
two-pounder in the middle of October, and again two
years ago I caught another similar fish, both of which
were apparently quite recently spawned. They were
both extremely thin and soft-fleshed, and were at once
returned to the water. These somewhat "slab-by,"
long-bodied fish do not appear to be fit for tie table
until the months of February and March, wh en they
are of excellent quality.

The habits of the acclimatized salmonidai offer an
exceptionally fine field to young anglers for original
observations. Extremely little is known of their habits
in the great glacier rivers of the colonv, and also of
the giants inhabiting the larger lakes, 'it invariably
seems to me regrettable that so few youths and young
men fail to adopt the delightful and health giving
sport of angling, and the study of fish.

A petition is being circulated throughout the north-
ern portion of Orange county by A. Barrows, request-
ing the Board of Supervisors to enact a county ordi-
nance, providing for a penalty of $500 or six months
in the County Jail, for every person who shall draw
any sort of net or seine in the waters of Orange county
within 200 feet of any pier or wharf. The petition
does not preclude the taking of small fish for bait.
The petition will be presented to the Supervisors in
the near future.

Beach and surf fishing has been one of the attrac-
tions down South. The rod and line men find their
only, or most available, vantage point upon the few
wharves located there. The market fishermen get the
best results near the piers, consequently there is a
clash of interests, which the anglers desire to obviate
by the enactment of county legislation.

The California Fish Commission reports the convic-
tion before Justice Hill at Truckee last Friday of Geo.
Danner and Ed Teeters, who offered trout under
weight for sale. Both men pleaded guilty and were
fined $30 each. L. F. Lea, a deputy in Lake county,
arrested Ed Siebert and Lee Yark yesterday morning
for spearing trout at Upper Lake. The men went
before Judge Green, pleaded guilty and paid $20 each
into the public treasury.

At the office of the Commission in this city there was
exhibited this week a fine specimen of Loch Levin
trout, eleven inches long, taken from Independence
lake. This choice game fish was introduced into Cali-
fornia waters by the Commission and has so multiplied
that it now fairly swarms in the waters of the lake.

A good story is told on Secretary W. J. Street of
the California Inanimate Target Association. The
genial William is as good a shot with the camera as he
is with the gun. On a recent outing trip he, with is
companions, dined at the leading hotel of an interior
city. Passing into the dining-room they gave tbeir
hats in charge of a hat boy. After dining, the Secre-
tary, upon leaving the dining-room was banded his
hat by the polite and feo expecting attendant.

"Is that my hat?" severely questioned Street.

"Yessah!" answered Smoke.

"How do you know, " further interrogated Street,
"that this is my hat?"

"Well, sah! I dunno whether its yo' hat or not, but
I does know its de hat yo' wore when you come in
heahl"

Alfalfa for Feed.

! In nearly all parts of the irrigated west,
feeds which are rich in protein can be
grown and this is the element that we
want most of all. It is the basis of the
value of all feed and especially desirable
for the dairy cow as carbonaceous food
would tend to make too much fat. Take
for example alfalfa, the great drouth-
resisting crop, which contains 10.6 per
c«nt protein, 37.3 per cent carbohydrates
and 1.4 per cent fat. Compare it with
timothy hay which contains only 2.9 per
cent protein , 43.7 per C9nt carbohydrates
and 1.4 per cent of fat. We find that they
contain nearly the same amount of -car-
bonaceous food but alfalfa contains over
three times as much protein. So much
for the theoretical side of alfalfa as a feed
for dairy cows- We would not think of
going into the dairy business without
alfalfa, and it is bound to hold its own
against all comers as the most economical,
all-around dairy provender the world has
ever known.

PEDIGREE IN PART.

OIRED BY SIDNEY 2-193i, sire of 17 in the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, 3 better than 2:10. and Lenna
^ X 3:05M (champion record), and 96 in the charmed circle. Battie dam of Monterey, is by that
ereaYsTreof broodmares, Com. Belmont 4340, son of Alexander Belmont 64. sire of Nutwood 2:185;
Barona his second dam. is by Woodford's Mambrino 2:4114. and his third dam. Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25 sire of Lula 2:15; fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at; he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S Maben writes me as follows:

'• I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th. a half in 1:15. first Quarter in 0:40!S, last
eighth in 17 seconds, so you" see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than
any colt I ever saw and doiteasier. Walter S. Maben."

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine. big. good-looking colts, and look to him
(Mabenl to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ine to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keen him down forif he reproduces himself the foals will he of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,

132,000 Deaths from |
this alone.

■ One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright'*. Dlse<- -e.
Posted clubmen understand this so w U
that many have tests made every fe ■
months. Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and D'aberes 3re increas-
ing at a fearful rate The last census re-
ports show that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them "last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132.000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing this one faot, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curable in about 87% of all case*. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

JOTTINGS.

THE GARDEN CITY, as San Jose is rightly called,
never bore the appellation more worthily than at
the present time. Flowers are blooming in every door
yard in such profusion that the air is redolent with
perfume and the eye is delighted at every turn with
all the colors of the spectrum in all their shades and
variations. Fruit trees nave mostly shed their blossoms
and the heavy green foliage is rapidly hiding the limbs
- from sight. 'There is an air of prosperity all through
the beautiful Santa Clara valley this year, as there is
in every section of this glorious State. A brief visit to
the track and grounds of the Santa Clara Agricultural
Association last Saturday led me to believe that those
horsemen are wise who seek it for a training place, as
there are few as good mile tracks anywhere as this one
at San Jose. It is being kept in good shape this year,
but on the day of my visit was a rather slow one, as a
heavy rain- had fallen the day before and the harrows
had cut pretty deep that morning.

Just as I reached the track I saw three horses going
round the first turn and was told that they wereThos.
R. 2:15, driven by Fred Bunch, Vic Shellar 2:15},
driven by Van Bokelen and Boodle Boy 2:295 in the
hands of "Farmer" Bunch, father of the young man
first named. Thos. R. and Vic Shellar were moving
very nicely but the big, black Boodle stud was mixing
and skiving, finally striking a clean pace and going
three-quarters of the mile at that gait, although he
took his record trotting and is being trained at that
gait. The Iran Alto and Hambletonian Wilkes geld-
ings made the mile in 2:21 J finishing very close together,
Boodle Boy being several lengths back and pacing the
mile iu about 2:27. When I was told he had about 16
ounces on each front foot, put there to make him
trot,' .1 concluded that Boodle would have a fast pacer
to his credit if the "Farmer" would take ofl that
weight and put the big fellow to work at the lateral
gait. All these horses will probably be raced in Cali-
fornia this year, Thos. R. and Vic Shellar being ex-
cellent prospects as money getters in the 2:15 class.

A very promising candidate for the Occident Stake
this year is C. A. Durfee's little colt Quate, which is
Spanish for twin. He is one of a pair by McKinney
2:11}, produced by the fast and handsome little Gossi-
per mare Miss Jessie 2: 13 J, and the only foals she ever
had. Quate was not much larger than a good sized
lamb when foaled, but the other was much larger and
nearly up to average size. Quate was alive and kick,
ing however while his brother never stood up. Quate
is now 14 3 hands high, and all horse. He trots like a
colt that thinks trotting is his regular business, and is
one of the best gaited and most level headed young-
sters ever hitched up. Durfee gave him two heats
Saturday, one in 2:40, another in 2:36, -and then went
out to work a third in 2:40 again. Quate went to the
half at the proper gait, but was feeling good and
wanted to go faster. A big white butterfly flew in his
face on the far turn and he broke. His driver caught
him quickly, however, and let him step along. He
finished the mile in 2:34, last quarter in 35 seconds, a
pretty good gait for a colt that ha J been worked a
very few times this year and has a belly oa him that
his owner wants to remove before he moves him fast.
Durfee has never yet won an Occident or a Stanford
Stake though the McKinneys have been very promi-
nent in several, getting all three moneys in the Occi-
dent one vear I believe.

While waiting for the Bunches and Van to come out
for another workout, I noticed a big bay pacer come
on to the track at the gate on the first turn and as she
swerved first to the inner fence and thee to the outer,
seemingly opposed to being driven the reverse way of
the track, I recognized Miss Logan 2:063 with her
owner, Dr. Boucher, behind her. "Shall I go up the
stretch and turn her for you, Doctor? " called Tom
•Tames to him as he passed. The Doctor nodded assent
and Mr. James started off, but his assistance was not
needed as the Maid took it into her head to act nicely,
and when she reached the hundred yards pole swung
around quietly and scored down as if she was in an
actual race and wanted to win it. Under restraint all
the way she reached the three-quarter pole in 1:42 and
then was given her head. She paced the last quarter
in just 30 seconds flat, over a deep track that was not
suited to a pacer at all that day. If ever a man was
possessed with that patience that Job fixed the stand-
ard for,itisDr. Boucher, and by it, coupled with plenty
of intelligence and common sense, he made Miss Logan
a big money winner and gave her a very fast record.
Not .one trainer in a hundred would have had the
patience to get her to one race. She went lame two
years ago, and it is doubtful whether the location of

the trouble has been correctly located yet. She was
blistered and fired in the shoulder but the lameness
would return. Now it is thought to be navicular and
has been treated as such. She showed a very slight
favor to the ailing limb after her workout Saturday.
She was given three heats that day, all below 2:15, as
I was told by a gentleman who was holding a watch
on the horses as they worked.

T. W. Barstow, the well known San Jose veterinary
dentist, was on the track with his swift going, bay
pacing mare, Alone by Nearest 2:221 full brother to
John A. McKerron 2:06J matinee record to wagon.
While Alone wears the Indiana pajamas, she moves like
one that could dispense with these gait assisters and
show a fast mile bare legged. She is four years old,
stands 16.1, and has substance and quality as well.
Look out for her when the bell rings. Nearest, or
Wilkes Direct as he is best known to horsemen, is a
big horse himself and breeds large. Mr. Bai'stow
showed me two stud colts by him out of a chestnut
mare that he purchased at the Corbett sale. This
mare is by Prince Airlie and her dam is Minnie Prin-
cess by Nutwood, second dam by Paul's Abdallah,
third dam a thoroughbred by Langford. Unfortu-
nately this mare who is but five years old is blind from
an accident but she has raised one colt by Nearest and
has another at foot. Both are as fine specimens as
one would want to see. Mr. Barstow was offered a
thousand dollars for the yearling last winter, by an
Eastern man, but declined the offer as he wanted to
keep him to succeed Nearest in the stud. Had he
known, however, that the mare's present foal was to
be a colt, he would have accepted the offer. Mr. Bar-
stow is handling the pacer Fredericksburg 2:12 for
the races this year and likes him very well. He thinks
he will be a good one in his class. The "lager beer"
horse is certainly looking well and has filled out amaz-
ingly since he was campaigned two years ago. A
three year old by Nearest out of the dam of Claudius
2:131, is being trained by Mr. Barstow, and is a very
large and handsome filiy.

One of the fast green ones at San Jose is Motanic,
son of Chehalis 2:04}, and owned by the well known
San Francisco politician and wool merchant, John
Wise. Montanic is being handled by W. H. Williams
of Montana, who located in San Jose two years ago on
account of the excellent schools and fine climate.
Motanic looks like a Kentucky colonel's saddle horse
in style and travels with head and tail up. He is game,
but is a high strung fellow and they say is subject to
car fright when traveling and does not eat enough to
keep strong. He has speed to burn, however, and if
he gets over his dislike to railroads and the frequent
change of quarters necessary to taking in the circuit,
he might get a name and record for himself, and earn
some money in the green classes this year. The horse
and Mr. Williams seem to understand one another
very well.

J. W. Gordon, who has seven or eight trotters and
pacers in his string, worked a big bay pacer by Almont
Patchen a mile in 2:31 while I was at the track and did
not seem to be driving very hard to get around that
fast. This horse is green as grass but is such a big
fellow and has such a stride that his speed is not so
apparent unless one holds a watch. Mr. Gordon's
Silver Bow stallion, Silver Arrow, is doing stud duty
and taking a iittle work every day. He is looking fine
and has some good looking colts and fillies around San
Jose.

Tom James has twenty-three mares booked to Baron-
dale 2:11} and the horse has been mated with about
half of them up to date. The colts are much later
than usual this year in nearly every section of Cali-
fornia. Owners did not get fully awake to the scarcity
of young horses until late in the spring of 1901, conse-
quently did not book their mares early last year.
Several of the most popular stallions in California
made the heaviest part of last year's season after the
first of June, and the crop of May colts this year will
be large. Barondale never looked better, Mr. James
says, than now, and he is certainly a good looking stal-
lion. With his great breeding, being one of the most
fashionably bred horses in America, he is a snap at $40.
He ought to have not less than seventy-five mares this
year and they should be extra good ones. I want to
predict right now that Miss Logan's foal of next year
by him will be a 2:05 or better horse the first year of
its campaign. This is predicting along ways ahead.
Miss Logan is a producer of great speed already and
Barondale is the best bred horse she has so far been
mated with, and is a fast one himself. Her first foal,
Harry Logan by the obscure horse Harry Gear, has a
record of 2:12}; her only other foal, by Colbert 2:07$, is
but 23 months old, but can pace a 2:16 gait already,

and when she drops a foal by Barondale look out for

two-minute speed. It is bound to come.

satisfactory picture of McKinney 2:11} taken. "Irish,"
as owner Durfee always calls him when addressing his
talk directly to the stallion, seems to have no more
respect for a camera than he has for a cloud in the sky.
When led out to enable the manipulators of plates and
developers to take a shot at him, it has generally been
impossible to make the mighty son of Alcyone realize
the fact that he should look the king he is. I have
seen him stand with his head out as far as he couldget
it, champing his bit while the patient photographer
waited long for a chance to get him in a position that
would look well in a photograph. Sometimes he
would hold his head too high and again it would be
too low, his delicate open nostrils sniffing the air aloft
or the dust beneath his feet I took a half dozen sho'ts
at him Saturday with a small camera and believe I got
one good one. The readers of the B. & S. will have a '
chance to look at it next week and I think they will
say it is the nearest like the champion 2:15 sire of any
photo heretofore made. He is looking as well as ever
in his life and is getting his mares in foal in nearly
every instance at the first service. No horse in Amer-
ica, thoroughbred or trotter, has a shorter back and
at the same time stands over as much ground with
his legs under him as McKinney. * He knows as much
as a human, and like the vast majority of great horses
and great men, does not seem at all conscious of his
superiority over the common herd. Stallions that
cannot trot a mile in three minutes, that have never yet
nor never will sire a 2:15 performer, can put on more
style in a minute than McKinney can with a year's
training, but there is about him something that de-
notes power, greatness and majesty that few horses
ever possess. Get him interested and he 6hows it, but
the little ordinary affairs of life have little in them for
him to give more than a passing notice. He has a
very choice lot of mares this year and his book is full.

A caller at the office of the BREEDER AND SPORTS-
MAN this week was Robert Leigh ton, of the Vancouver
Jockey Club, who came down the coast for the pur-
pose of inducing horse owners here to race on the
North Pacific circuit. Mr. Leighton had but a short
time at his disposal, but there will_.be. three or four
carloads (if runners headed north pretty soon, as a
result of his visit here. While here he told me some
interesting particulai-s of the sale of the little black
pacer Freddie C. 2:14}, now known as Prince Direct.
Mr. Sturgis, of New York, who owns Dan Patch 2:04},
was talking with Myron McHenry a few months ago
in regard to securing a horse for the "slow pacing
classes," as they call the side wheel events of 2:09 or
slower over East, and finally decided to send a trusted
representativeto San Francisco to purchase Sir Albert
S. 2:08J. Mr. Lawrence, the gentleman intrusted with
this mission, had a talk with McHenry prior to de-
parture and in the course of the conversation the latter
said: "There is a little black son of Direct out there
in Seattle that showed pretty well in the Pacific Coast
summaries last year. Look him over; if he looks like
his sire make an offer for him, as I like Direct and
those of his get that look like him." When Mr. Laws
rence reached Seattle he called onjhe Clancy Brother-
and was shown Freddie C. He said he thought he was
looking at the old horse through the big end of a field
glass. He asked the price and was told $8500. After
a little talk the five hundred was knocked off, a check
written for the balance, and Freddie C. is now being
trained by McHenry and is entered all along' the big
line under the name of Prince Direct, which change
cost Mr Sturgis just $50. Mac likes him very well,
but had Mr. Lawrence not gone to Seattle Sir Albert
S. would very likely be under McHenry's care.

m Notes and News, m

Get your horses ready.

Here's a chance for big money.

The California— $2000 for trotters of the 2:27 class.

The race will come off at the Breeders fall meeting
this year.

Kelly Briggs 2:10} is in training at the Sacramento
race track.

It has been settled that Anaconda 2:011 will be
trained by John Dickerson this year.

Charles Clancy, of Seattle, son of the late Thos.
Clancy, who owned the pacer Freddie C. 2:143, has
been in California for the past week looking for a good
trotting or pacing prospect for the North Pacific
circuit.

Silver Coin, the Steinway colt out of Jennie Mac
2:09 by McKinney 2:11$, negotiated a quarter in 29J
seconds at the Los Angeles track last week. He is
well entered in the big pacing stakes on the Grand
Circuit.

Fred Raschen of Sacramento is the owner of a mare
by Diablo 2:09} out of Swift Bird by Waldstein that is
trotting better than a forty clip under Hi Hogoboom's
guidance, and is headed straight for a 2:20 or better
record this year. '

Will B. White has decided to retain Star Pointer
1:59} at the Two-Minute Stock Farm, Rockport, and
will not send him to Kentucky as at first intended.
The champion pacer will be in the stud as will also a
son of Guy Wilkes.

W. G. Durfee worked his big stallion, Petigru, a
mile in 2:121 at Los Angeles last week.

Miss Logan 2:061 worked a mile in 2:12, last quarter
in 30 seconds, at San Jose last Saturday.

Gen. B. F. Tracy has recovered from his illness, and
is seen driving in the parks every pleasant day.

Napa will give a dozen purses for harness horses,
ranging from $500 to $800 each. This is liberal.

Vance Nuckols has the material in his stable for as
good a string of racehorses as ever came down the line.

The Mendocino county fair made a profit last year
without drawing its appropriation from the State.

John Splan and Warren Lewis have joined forces
for the purpose of conducting horse sales at Detroit.

Woodland will hang up over $6000 in purses for har-
ness horses this year. The program is now being
made up by Secretary Thomas.

Dr. Weldon of Sacramento has put his mare Eleva-
tor 2:30 by Don Marvin in training again and she looks
like a good one for the slow classes.

Ed Parker brought back with him from Los Angeles
a young pacing horse of the Hal family that is quite
fast. He is owned by a Los Angeles gentleman.

The most successful breeders of trotting stock aim
to keep their very best mares to raise foals from. It
will pay the small breeder to follow their example.

Now that the trotting rules permit three races to be
''sandwiched" at once, the horses, it is said, will not be
called at the Readville meeting this season until 2:30
P. M. Heretofore, under the old rule of only two races
on at once, and all horses allowed to compete for five
heats, it has been necessary to start at 1 o'clock and in
some instances as early as 12:30. The plan of sonding
non-heat winners to the stable at the end of the third
heat, with the new "sandwich" rule referred to, will,
Secretary Jewett believes, enable the program to be
cleared up by 6 o'clock or sooner. It is also said that
Mr. Jewett is considering the plan of offering some
dash races this season at distances around a mile.

J. E. Brennan of San Lorenzo purchased a hand-
some mare by Teheran from the Sharon estate last
week. Worth Ober has been handling the mare, with
several others by the same horse, at Pleasanton for
the past few weeks.

John Pender has named his three year old filly Lady
Jones by Captain Jones in the 2:21 trot at the Oregon
State Fair. He thinks she has the speed and staying
qualities to compete against aged horses in this stake
and get some of the money.

Margaretta 2:12} is in Sam Hoy's string at Sacra-
mento and will be made ready for the California cir-
cuit.

The Sacramento Driving Club will hold a matinee
during the street fair which opens in that city May
12th.

Monroe Salisbury will leave in a day or two for Salt
Lake with a carload of driving horses that he will offer
for sale there.

At Cleveland, it is believed that if John A. McKerron
trains on as ho did last year he will trot a mile to
wagon better than 2:051.

A match race is to be decided over the track at
Everett, Washington, to-day between Kittitas Ranger
2:11} and Maplemont 2:21J.

San Jose will soon announce several purses for its
July meeting. Secretary Main says the association
will get out of debt this year.

Village Farm lately priced Dandy Chimes at $10,000.
When Ed Geers heard of it he wrote to the farm to
ask that the horse be not sold.

"Jo" Bowers, mine host of the Capital Hotel at Sac-
ramento was in the city last week and reports that his
handsome, big five year old Glide by Silver Bee, is as
fast as a ghost this year. Look out for a low mark
for this fellow if he keeps right.

Carrol Hayford of Sacramento is the owner of two
fast two year olds by Stam B. that are about as hand-
some as any colts in California. They have had hardly
any work but can show a 2:40 clip already. Stam B.
will be a great sire of beauty and speed, and nearly all
his get will be trotters.

The big two thousand dollar stake for 2:18 class
pacers at the Oregon Fair received 22 entries, of which
Washington furnished ten, Oregon seven, Montana
and California two each, and Canada one. The horse-
men of the webfoot State should be ashamed of them-
selves to allow the Washingtonians to beat them.

Sam Hoy, the Winters horseman, has moved his
string of trotters and pacers to the-Sacrampnto track.
He has Kelly Briggs 2:10], Margaretta 2:14}, Reta H.,
a very fast green pacing mare by McKinney out of the
dam of Brilliantine 2:17; Demonio, a full brother to
Diablo, and a black three year old pacer belonging to
Ben Rush, of Susun.

George Wilkes raced first under the nameJo'f Robert
Fillingham in 1S61. The following year under the
same name he beat Ethan Allen in a $5000 match race.
In 1865 he appeared under the name of George Wilkes,
and it was under that name that he made a harness
record of 2:22, a wagon record of 2:25, and a pole record
with Ethan Allen of 2:28.

Superintendent F. W. Covey left for Cleveland last
Tuesday morning with three carloads of two ?ear olds
for theCleveland Blue Ribbon sale. The Fasig-Tipton
Company never had a finer lot of youngstersv.cata-
logued than these from Palo Alto. They should bring
good prices as they represent the very acme of scien-
tific breeding. We wish several of the young studs
could be brought back to California for stud duties.

The colt by Zombro 2:11 out of the dam of Stam B.
2:11} is over sixteen hands high and is a good trotting
prospect. He has a nice way of going for a big three
year old.

Bell Bird, Hi Hogoboom's handsome daughter of
Electioneer and Beautiful Bells has foaled a nice bay
filly by Iran Alto 2:12} and has been bred to Nutwood
Wilkes 2:16}.

The Los Angeles Driving Club has 213 members and
nearly every member will drive a horse or pair in the
parade this afternoon at the Fiesta matinee at the Los
Angeles track.

The Pleasanton Training Track Company are sink-
ing a new well at the track and will make an earnest
effort to have all the water necessary to keep the track
in good condition.

About twenty-five horses are being worked at the
half-mile track at Hanford, Kings county. Nearly all
are green horses. The trainers are Walton, Eddy,
Morris and Depoister.

Reta H, the four year old mare by McKinney that
Sam Hoy bred and owns, is one of the best green pac-
ing prospects in C.lifornia. She shows lots of speed
and has a very attractive way of going.

Woodland will give a Sacramento Day during its
fair this year and will make a race for horses owned
and driven by members of the Sacramento Driving
Club, one of the features of the day's sport.

Coxey 2:13 died in New York two weeks ago. He
was eight years old and one of the purest gaited, most
level headed and handsomest horses ever driven
over New York's famous speedway/ Mr. E. E.
Smathers purchased him for $1500 and although Coxey
was not sound, expected to mark him close to 2:05 this
year. He was by Judge Cox 22,236. It was Mr.
Smathers' intention to race Coxey this year on the
Grand Circuit.

In securing the match between The Abbot and Lord
Derby Secretary McCully has secured the star attrac-
tion of the year, and as both horses are owned in New
York it should prove a greater drawing card than
even the match between Cresceus and The Abbot did
last season, and that event attracted the biggest
crowd ever seen at the Brighton Beach track for any
occasion, not even barring the star events of the run-
ning track that occur there.

The Aptos Farm horses were shipped from the farm
last Tuesday in charge of Sandy Smith and will reach
Cleveland by the 5th or fith of May. Mr. Spreckels
was highly pleased with the condition the horses were
all in, and if no accident happens them is confident
they will please the Eastern horsemen when Sandy
shows them on the track before the sale. There are
as many good lookers and fast ones in this consignment
as were ever shipped to a sale from one farm, and they
should bring good prices.

Golden Gate Park Driving CluD will give a grand
matinee at the Oakland track, May 30th. There will
be four races, one for the 2:40 class for horses that
have never raced and a 2:30 class and a 2:20 class.
These races, as is the club's custom, will bo arranged
so that horses will bo classified according to their
present speed capabilities instead of by their record p.
In addition to these events the Frank O'Kane Chal-
lenge Cup race will be given. This race has never
been won twice in succession by the same member, but
there has always been a great rivalry for its possession
and the race this year promises to havoa greater entry
than ever.

The Board of Directors of the Hollister Associa-
tion have claimed the date for holding the annual fair
from Wednesday, October 1st to 4th, inclusive. This
will immediately follow the Oakland meeting. The
association has established a two year old and a three
year old stake for trottinff colts owned in Monterey,
San Benito, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties to
be decided at the fair this fall. The conditions are
entrance $50. with $50 added by the association. En-
tries close May 15th, the first payment being $10. The
second payment of $15 is due July 1st, and third pay-
ment of $25 due ten days before day of race. The two
year old event will be mile heats, best two in three,
the three year old stake best three in five.

Those who have seen the two year old sister of Nico
2:08} take her work at the Readville track, are of the
opinion that neither the $10,000 filly by Ponce de Leon,
nor the $4000 Miss Todd, has any the best of the
daughter of Arion for the two year old events this
year, if Mr. Forbes decides to start her in the stakes
this season. She is a remarkably handsome filly and a
finely gaited one. Last fall when the Forbes Farm
yearlings were broken and their speed tried out a little
over the farm track, she was the least promising, as
far as the speed which she could show, of any of the
bunch, but now Henry Titer says she can heat them
all as far as a man can throw a rock, in a quarter of a
mile, and is improving in speed with every workout.

The trotters most prominently mentioned during
the past few weeks in connection with the Boston Cup
race to be held at Cleveland this fall, are John A. Mc-
Kerron 2:10, The Monk 2:08}, Lucille 2:07, Boralma
2:07, Senator L. 2:12, and sometimes The Abbot 2:03}
and Lord Derby 2:061. There are however, several
other good trotters that may put in an appearance,
inducing May Allen 2:09}, recently purchased by C.
W. Marks of Chicago, Mabel Onward 2:102 to wagon,
a fast mare that has just passed into the ownership of
the well known Memphis horseman, Frank G. Jones;
Chain Shot 2:061, the fast gelding owned by Chas. C,
Lloyd of New York, an enthusiastic speedway driver
and prominently identified with the matinee club being
organized in New York.

Bert Webster left Pleasanton this week with Mr.
Chas. Griffiths' consignment of horses for the Blue
Ribbon sale at Cleveland. The horses taken were the
following: Rect 2:161, blk g, (8; trotter by Direct, dam
Lilly Stanley 2:17 by Whippleton. Domino, blk g, (5)
pacer by Rect 2:161, dam Sophia by Robt McGregor.

nie Direct 2:05} and a few choice broodmares and
colts.

Vallejo race track is now in splendid shape to work
horses over and there are several trainers established
there with their strings. Joe Cuicello and Dan Mis-
ner, of this city, went up this week, each with four or
five horses that they are preparing fcr the California
circuit. The owners of the track cut all the grass from
the edges of the course this spring and have since
worked it the full width and it is in splendid shape at
the present time. Those stabling horses at the track
are charged no stall rent but are asked to pay $1 per
head per month for horses actually worked on the
track. If the number of horses in training there in-
creases this charge will be cut down materially.
Vallejo is one of the healthiest places for horses there
is in California and the track one of the best for mak-
ing speed on and is safe. Joe Smith is training several
head, and since the advent of Messrs. Cuicello and
Misner the track has quite a lively appearance.
Several more San Francisco trainers will probably
locate at Vallejo this month.

Millard Sanders will leave Pleasanton to-day for
Cleveland with a carload of twelve horses. Six of
them comprise his campaigning stable as follows:
Dolly Dillon 2:07, Sir Albert S. 2:08:j, Anzella 2:11",.
Bonsilene 2:14',, all tried and true campaigners, and
the pacer B. S. Dillon 2:25, trial 2.12. All these are the
property of the Santa Rosa Slock Farm. Mr. Sanders
also has in his string Judge Greene's three year old
colt by Directum that is entered in the Kentucky
Futurity. Besides these Mr. Sandors takes along six
horses consigned to the Bluo Ribbon sale as follows:
Almoretta 2:25, winner of last year's Stanford Stake;
Lady Russell 2:26}, Fram 2:171, Rosara, five year old
by McKinney out of By By by Nutwood: Lou Dillon, a
phenomenally fast green trotter by Sidney Dillon.
These are all consigned by the Sant Rosa Stock
Farm. Norn McKinney 2:17} will also be taken along
and placed in the sale! Mr. Sanders' string of cam-
paigning material is the best that has left California
in one trainer's onre for a long time, and we earnestly
hope they will fulfill every expectation and be returned
among the big winners of the season.

On a hot day drink Jackson's Napa Soda lemonade
and be refreshed.

Oregon State Fair Entries.

[Portland Rural Spirit.)
Entries to the early closing stakes of the Oregon
State Fair are the largest and perhaps the most rep-
resentative ever received for these events. Most of
the entries are from Oregon and Washington, though
Idaho, Montana, California and British Columbia are
represented. The Greater Salem Stake of $2000 for
2:18 pacers has the largest number of entries, which
indicates that big stakes bring good results. This
is the largest stake event ever offered in the Pacific
Northwest and promises to bring together the greatest
array of speed horses ever seen on old Lone Oak track.
The large number of entries received in these early
closing events, assures a big lot of entries for the purse
eveDts to follow, and once more the people of Oregon
will witness good racing at the coming State Fair.
Following are the entries:

Something Doing in Texas.

Dallas, Texas, April 20, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — In reading
over your very valuable paper every week, I don't
happen to see any news from Dallas, Tex., so thought
I would drop you a line to let you know that the horse
business is still alive and in good condition here. I
have 21 head in training from yearlings to six year
olds, all by Electritebut two, and all doing well. The
best mile I have been so far this year is 2:33, a quarter
in 35 seconds, with my aged horses. I have five year-
lings by Electrite that can step a quarter from 55
seconds to 51; eighths from 26 to 23 seconds and pull a
cart. Three two year olds that have stepped miles
from 3 minutes to 2:46, quarters from 42 to 38} — all
trotters. I have two very fast three year old pacers',
they could both step in 2:20 last year and do a quarter
in 32* seconds with ease. They are going fine this
year. The best I have let them step so far is a mile in
2:33, a quarter in 34} seconds, but give them lots of
slow miles. I think I also have a great two year old
pacer in a filly by Electrite out of Ella Calhoun, trotter,
2:16}. She has stepped amile in 2:37, last half in 1:12},
quarter in 34} seconds with ease; none of these pacers
wear anything but the harness and quarter boots and
am sorry to say they all go to the New York sale in
the fall.

Mr. Geo. R. King, our local trainer here, has a stable
of eighteen or twenty head, all doing nicely; also Mr.
W. O Foote can be seen in the sulky now every day
working hard preparing a few good ones to go through
the Grand Circuit with this year.

I am very much pleased to hear that the horse busi-
ness is picking up again in California. Great crowds
of people are coming in to Dallas to-day on account of
Reunion of old Confederates to be held here, commenc-
ing the 21st and lasting five days. Will send you re-
union edition of our daily paper when it comes out.
Yours very truly, J. S. Phippen.

A Rnmor From Los Angeles.

There is a strong rumor afloat anent the formation
of a first class jockey club in Los Angeles, with E. J.
Baldwin at the head and backed by a number of the
very wealthy citizens of the city of the Southland. It
is said the new club has purchased a tract of land on
the outskirts of the city, on which a model track and
modern grand stands will be erected, to say nothing
of 700 box stalls. It is proposed, so rumor says, to
have about two months of racing in the winter months,
when Los Angeles hotels and private houses are filled
with Eastern visitors of wealth in search of health and
pleasure.

In a letter to John Bradburn, superintendent of
Village Farm, Ed Geers speaks favorably of his
chances for a great campaign this season. He says he
has a stronger stable than ever before, and when it is
remembered that for seven years out of the past nine
his stable has stood at the head of winning stables,
the statement is best appreciated.

Like all good things, Jackson's Napa Soda has
dozen counterfeits. Watch out !

At the Fresno Track.

[Fresno Republican, April 26,]

When Charles E. Clark goes East on his summer
campaign with the trotters this year, he will take
with him Toggles, of course, and besides that he will
have for a certainty Sue and Cozad. El Moro will
perhaps be one of his lot of California representatives,
but this is doubtful, although that horse is doing mar-
velously well in his work.

The old track presents a busy and interesting sight
these days during the workout hours to anyone who
chances to be out there and a visit is well worth while.
It was never in better shape. The inner field is green
with alfalfa and rye and the track itself— and that is

the main thing from a horseman's point of view is

kept in perfect condition. The Supervisor^ have dis-
played good judgment in the selection of Farmer
Frederickson to look after the place. The track is
fast and there is not a doubt that with horses in con-
dition and the opportunity there woul. be some of
those Eastern records go a glimmering.

The world that is interested in trotting is, of course
most interested in Toggles. Poor Toggles has had a
siege of the rheumatism this winter, but thanks to the
mild climate it has not been so very bad and the old
horse is ready to tackle the scenes of his former ex-
ploits with all four feet. Toggles is not himself just
yet, but he will be and there is still many a record and
purse in that horse. He is not engaged in any of the
big stakes— more's the pity— but he will be heard from
all right.

The fast string under Mr. Clarke's immediate super-
intendence at the track consists of the. following:

Graham E. Babcock'sbr gToggles2:08J (Strathwav-
Fly by Pasha). J

Chanslor & Canfield's br m Sue 2:12} (Athadon-
Gypsy by Scallion Hambletonian).

Graham E. Babcock's b g Cozad 2:20V (Fred S
Wilkes— Telos by Almont 43).

Graham E. Babcock's blk g El Moro 2:13* (Long-
worth-dam of Anteeo).

Besides these there are seven horses that are green,
but of which much is expected in time, and then there
is Farmer Owen, who belongs to Jo3 Chanslor and is
in a class by himself as a driviDg horse.

"I cannot talk when I'm away from the horses,''
said Mr. Clark at the Grand Central the other night
and he suggested a visit to the track, which was made
the next morning and there, after working out several
of his string, the horseman showed that with the
horses around, at any rate, he 3ould not be said to
lack a flow of language.

"Sue is in good shape," he said walking through the
stables, "and she may repeat her feat of last vear of
winning four races straight. She is in $00,000 worth
of stakes and stands a good show to make a lot of
money. Cozad, whom I picked np at Lexington last
year, is in $25,000 in stakes and is also doing well.
His list record is 2:20}, but he has shown in 2:13. The
black, El Moro, you know, broke down at Sacramento
after winning a five heat race two years ago, but be
has come around all right. I drove him a mile in 2:18
this morning, but I do not know whether he will be
taken East or not, as it is not to te expected that he
will be able to stand up under a trying race."

Then the green division, so to call it, was inspected.
A. J. Hudson's two year old colt Strathcona (Strath-
way-Panjalie) was looked at. He is a promising
youngster, though be has not done any hard work yet,
of course. There is another likely looking colt out of
Panjalie, sired by Junio, at the track too, that at
present answers to the name of Joker. He is a high
acting, fashionable youngster.

One of Mr. Clark's favorites is the three year old
Trie (Iris-Athalie), pacer, the seventh of Athalie's
foals to beat standard time. Athalie has four in the
list now. A Junio colt out of Athalie is the green
pacer Atbablo, five years old. "He is a wonder," said
Mr. Clark. "He has gone the mile in 2:17* aod has
done eighths in 15 seconds. Athablo may go East,
though he has no engagements."

Chanslor & Canfield have a good mare in Kathryn
(Athadon-dam by Junio). She is green, but she was
driven a workout mile the morning of the interview,
reporter holding the watch on her, in 2:29}. Rapides,
a four year old colt, is another animal of whom Mr.
Clark thinks a whole lot. He is by Junio, dam Maud
Whippleton by Whippleton. He is pronounced
the fastest green trotter and the nicest gaited colt
that Mr. Clark has seen for a long time, and he has
gone the mile in 2:24.

L. Heilbron is the owner of a promising black mare,
four years old, at the track, who is well bred, too,
being by Red Nuttle out of a Clay mare. A. J. Hud-
son has a bay mare four years old that ought to show
well in class company among the side-wheelers later
on. He calls her Dixie and she is by Colonel K R.,
dam by Joe Simpson. There are others, but these are
the pick of the lot and they are all looking well — show-
ing the advantages of wintering in the mild climate of
Fresno.

Mr. Clark will start on the harness racing campaign
the middle of May or the first-of June and from Fretno
will go direct to Denver. Thence he will gradually
work his way East along the circuits.

Sister to Cruzados Sold. •

George W. Baldwin has sold to Barney Schreiber
the bay mare, El Salado, by Emperor of Norfolk-
Atalantall. therefore an own sister to the phenomenal
Cruzados and the supposed "speed marvel," Ameri-
cano, and half sister to Billy Moore. Consideration,
$1000. This mare, a magnificent individual sixteen
hands in height, should make her mark as a matron
at Schreiber's Woodlands stud near St. Louis wither
she will be sent at an early date and mated with imp.
Sain, sire of Corrigan, Zirl, Otis, etc.

HIDALGO'S GOSSIP. §

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

The continued season of warm spring weather is
bringing out some good colts at the track:. Walter
Maben has already a good string, not the least of
which is the Monterey colt that has been already
referred to in your columns. He is bred right for a
goer and a stayer also, his dam being by McKinney
2:11 J, and he was the best stallion ever brought to
"this neck o' woods." The next dam is by the thor-
oughbred horse Hock Hocking, who was as game as a
pebble and as beautiful as he was big. There is no
fear but the youngster in question will be able to go
the route. I have seen many trotters in the past ten
year's and have invariably found that the best stayers
were those who had the most thoroughbred blood in
them — provided always that such thoroughbreds are
stayers themselves.

Zombro is making a good season here. He resembles
old McKinney very much and is a horse of such size
and substance that he will always be a popular sire
among the owners of good and substantial mares. All
of Zombro's get show good size and plenty of style and
I look for his get to distinguish themselves in harness
before the close of next year. We have an abundance
of good road horses here, but, just as soon as a horse
shows anything like early speed he is snapped up and
sold to go East, where there is always plenty of
money for fast ones

For Freedom, the little bay mare by Prince Royal,
out of imported Manzanita by Kaiser (winner of the
Prince of Wales and Great Yorkshire Stakes of 1873)
is expected to foal during the coming week. She is
jointly owned by Mr. G. L. Waring of Riverside and
myself. As a first foal is seldom of any great account,
we bred her to Mr. Pedley's horse, Bliss Rucker, a
son of Salvator and Iris by Iroquois, because he was
ljcated so conveniently to us. This coming season,
she will be bred to Taranto, son of St. Blaise and im-
ported Tarantula. Bliss Rucker has had several foals
dropped to him in the past six weeks and they are all
fine, upstanding youngsters, with plenty of quality.
Mr. Pedley, his owner, is a son of Mr. T. H. Pedlev,
who won the Epsom Derby with Cossack, by Hetman
Platoff in 1847... On the dam's side, Bliss Rucker has
the blood of Iroquois, imp. Hurrah, imp. Bonnie Scot-
land and imp. Monarch in succession, the fifth dam
being Fashion by imp. Trustee, brother to Mundig
who won the Derby of 1835. I should think that was
good enough breeding to suit the most fastidious.

Another good stallion in this neighborhood, that
nobody seems to have heard of, is Benroe, by Hindoo
out of Francesca, full sister to Iroquois. He is there,
fore full brother to Pepper whose heads-apart finish
with Ferrier in the opening races at Ingleside, is one
of the traditions of that beautiful track. Benroe won
several races but never beat horses of much class. He
is a wonderfully fine individual, however, being a big
horse on short legs, with good driving power and
plenty of substance. What astonishes me is that, some
of the Santa Anita matrons have not yet been bred to
him, for while he is a Herod-line horse, he has more
Eclipse blood than that of Herod, with a dash of the
stout blood of imported Australian who got such con-
querors as Spendthrift, Wildidle, Fellowcraft and Joe
Daniels. Nor must we overlook Springbok, the hero
of the dead heat of 1875 for the Saratoga Cup, while
writing on this sublect. Benroe is a very dark brown
horse, nearly black and his great bone and fine con-
formation impressed me very much, the only time I
ever saw him.

Other thoroughbred horses kept in this neighbor-
hood, from whom I hear no reports as to their progeny,
are Ludowic, by Longfellow out of Carrie Phillips by
Pat Molloy; Sid Oj imp. Siddarthaand sire of such
noted breadwinners as Hueneme, Montalvo and Sati-
coy; and Mulberry, winner of a dozen races, by imp.
Deceiver out of Jennie McKinney by Planet. Whether
any of those horses have ever been bred to mares
that were their equals in breeding, or whether they
have been mated with thoroughbred mares at all, I
have been so far unable to ascertain. If they do not
get good performers, it will be because they have not
had access to good mares. Ludowic was purchased
in Kentucky for the late L. TJ. Shippee, of Stockton,
by A. J. Stemlar, who trained him for all of his
engagements; and ran fifth in the American Derby,
won by Strathmeath in 1891. Had the track been
good that day, I believe that Ludowic would have won.

I see that Congratulation by Matchmaker won the
Great Metropolitan Handicap at Epsom this week. I
saw her race several times while I was in England last
year; and she waB only beaten a head by Uncle Mac
(who won the Chester Cup of 1890) in a two-mile pace

at Doncaster, an hour before the great St. Leger was
won by Doricles. She is a bay mare, with the right
foreleg roan from the ankle to the point of the
shoulder, a mark that I never remember to have seen
before. It looks, after this, as if Congratulation would
have a pretty good chance for the Queen's Vase, Alex-
andra Plate or Doncaster Cup before the season is
over, as she has a great liking for a long race. Match-
maker, her sire, is by St. Simon out of Match Girl;
and her dam was Fusee, the dam of St. Blaise and
Candlemas. Match Girl also produced Match Box,
who was twice second to Isinglass and was sold for
$50,000 to go to France, with a further contingency of
$15,000 if he won the Grand Prix de Paris. In that
race he started a hot favorite, but was beaten a neck
by a 40 to 1 shot, the Hungarian colt, Dolma Baghtske.
Matchmaker also got Handicapper, winner of the Two
Thousand Guineas of last year; and most of the horse-
men with whom I talked in England told me that race
was the biggest fluke on record, but at that time they
had not seen Doricles beat Volodyovski for the St.
Leger. The next time they met, Volodyovski gave
Doricles 3 lbs. and more than a 5-1 b. beating, into the
bargain. He outran him very easily.

I really wonder what this year's Suburban and
Brooklyn Handicaps are going to be with Conroy
gone to England and Commando, The Parader, Ethel-
bert and Imp all retired to the stud. Kinley Mack has
disappeared also together with Jean Beraud and
Standing, all good handicap horses, with a big turn of
speed. Mr. John Follansbee's Roehampton is about
as good a horse as can be found in the all-aged division,
but there are no weigh t-for-age races here like there
are in England, and I think the handicappers have
put about enough weight on this good colt to stop
him. Aleedo, winner of last year's Suburban, has
more weight on him than he can comfortably shoulder,
and if Watercure can win with the load apportioned
him, he is a better horse than I have rated him.
With the lack of class that characterizes the top
weights in these races, I naturally look for the middle
weights — somewhere between 115 and 119 pounds — to
do the trick in each of these events. But which one
it will be is hard to say. The Metropolitan is to be
run at Morris Park next week and as the distance is
only one mile it would not surprise me to hear that
Roehampton had won it in spite of his big weight.
He is a horse that has a world of speed, and at so short
a distance as that, weight hardly ever stops a really
good colt, such as Roehampton proved himself to be
last year. Well, April is pretty nearly gone with its
showers and its blossoms and we will not have much
longer to wait for the verdict.

What sort of races are we going to have at the next
fair. This is a question I have had asked me several
times during the past ten days. I answer that it de-
pends wholly upon how many horses go up to the
trotting races at Salem and Seattle, as well as to the
galloping races in Montana. But few Eastern horses
visit the Montana tracks and none of them come from
points east of Cincinnati. Those that do go out there
are generally the "culls" of the Kentucky and Tennes-
see stables, that are not deemed good enough to run
at Chicago, St. Louis or Latonia; and those which go
up there from California are not horses that are
regarded as good enough to be reserved for fall en-
gagements at Sacramento and Oakland. I look for at
least eighty two year olds to be in training in Septem-
ber, of which at least thirty will be new comers not
trained during the earlier part of the year. Certainly
there will be no lack of youngsters to contest all the
prizes to be awarded to the juvenile class. As to the
trotters and pacers, it is hard to say how many of
them we will have as it depends very largely upon the
inducements offered elsewhere. There have been good
purses offered here, more than once, that did not fill,
for what reason I am unable to say, but I do believe
that Los Angeles can draw bigger crowds to a trot or
a pacing race that any city in which I. have ever lived.
Certainly there has been no lack of liberality on the
part of our Fair Directors to render the sport attrac-
tive. Hidalgo.

Turtle's American Condition Powders.

Practically all farmers know that when the rush or spring
work comes on they almost Invariably have trouble from sore
shoulders on their work teams. It not infrequently occurs that
the usefulness of a horse or team Is lost to the farmer for along
period from thiB cause, and that. too. when their services are
most needed It is an easy matter to obviate all this trouble and
loss if one but knows how to go about it. The trouble results gen-
erally from thick and stagnant blood induced by heavy feeding
and lack of sufficient exercise during the winter months. The
remedy is found in toning up and thinning the blood and otherwise
purifying the same. In other words, providing a spring tonic
which is just as essential and necessary to animals as to human
kind. For this purpose we would direct the attention of our read-
ers to Tuttle's American Condition Powders, manufactured by
Dr. S. A. Tuttle of Boston. Mass. While these powders lit a num-
ber of veterinary requirements, they are to be specially recom-
mended at this season of the year for the purpose named. When
the blood is treated from within by these powders, and sore shoul-

Matching Pairs of Horses.

A correspondent wants the following question
answered:

"How shall I go to work to match up pairs of colts
so that they will sell to best advantage when broken
and fit for market? Is it not true that matched teams
bring relatively more money than single horses '.'"

Yes, it is true that* well-matched pairs of horses of
any sort will usually sell for more money relatively,
also actually, than if the same animals were put up
singly and offered in that way. It must be remem-
bered though that to-do this horses must be matched
in all the term implies — not simply of the same color
and hitched in double harness.

Our correspondent is rather too indefinite to elicit a
reply as specific as one might wish to grant. What
breed of horses does he handle? Has he the colts on
hand or does he propose to go forth to buy them with
a view to making an investment in young and growing
animals and trust to his own skill and perspicacity to
get bis capital back with interest ? Let us again ad-
jure inquirers to be specific. Being ignorant as to
where thiB correspondent desires to begin, we can do
little more than reply in the most general terms,
trusting that he may gather from what is said the
information be is seeking.

The mating of a pair of horses properly is a hard
task. What is a matched pair? To deserve the name
two horses must be of about thesame height and color,
carry heads alike, stand and go alike and be built after
the same pattern. They must use the same measure
of speed under similar circumstances and they must
step together. A Dair made up of one that is inclined
to shuffle and one that folds his knee cleanly; a pair
that holds one that drags his hocks and one that tucks
them neatly under him; a pair in which one is a bit
slouchy unless perpetually touched up and one that is
right up and coming all the time, is not mated at all,
notwithstanding that they may be the same height to
a fraction of an inch, be colored thesame to a hair and
weigh the same to an ounce. A bay and a chestnut
are better mated if alike in the points named than any
similarly colored and formed pair open to any of the
criticisms described. And then carriage horses must
be much more closely mated than drafters or drivers
or roadsters.

If a man is breeding his own horses he ought to be-
gin the matching process before the foals are begotleD.
Breed similar mares of similar blood lines to the same
horse. When the foals arc weaned, if they promise to
mate up well together, box them together and let
them grow up under exactly identical conditions.
Break them early to go in harness, and never do any-
thing with one that is not done with the other. In
that way mating may most easily be accomplished. If
changes must be made make them as early as possible,
but remember that a slight variation in height, weight
or color will be far preferable to variation in style,
action or speed. Disposition also must be taken into
account as affecting these qualifications.

If the effort is to be made to match a horse already
purchased take plen y of time. Try first to obtain
one that meets requirements in the most important
respects, not merely one that has the same color and
is the same height, When you find one thai suits
approximately submit him to conditioning and educa-
tion as already laid down. It is fair to say. however,
that mating horses is a sort of God-given gift and not
one man in a hundred thousand ever made a real
success of it. The odd one usually makes a fortune at
it. The principles laid down apply co-relatively to tht.
mating of all sorts of horses. Drafters need not be so
closely matched in color and marks as carriage horses,
though naturally the better the match the better the
price, all other things being equal. A bald-faced horse
and a whole-colored one will never match up into a
carriage pair, but a defect such as that would not be
held to take much from the value of a pair of ton geld-
ings.— Breeders Gazette.

$15,000 Refused for Zephyr.

J. C. McKinney, proprietor of the Terrace Farm,
Titusville, Pa., whose racing stable is at Memphis,
Tenn., in charge of Lafe Shafer, stopped off in Buffalo
the past week en route to New York. During his
short stay in the Bison City he was seen by The Horse-
man's Buffalo commissioner, who, on behalf of A. H.
Miller of Buffalo, offered him $15,000 for the four year
old trotting filly Zephyr, three year old trial 2:14}, by
Zombro2:ll, dam Gazelle 2:11*. dam of Zolock 2:10|
by Gossiper 2:14J. Mr. McKinney refused the offer,
believing the filly to be one of the best trotters in
sight. She is named in the M. & M. Stake at Detroit
and in other large stakes through the Grand Circuit.
Mr. Miller owns her dam Gazelle 2:11.} and is anxious
to obtain at least one of her foals During the past
winter he sent trainer W. L. Snow to California to
purchase Gazelle's oldest foal, Zolock 2:10J, but an offer
of $10,000 met with a refusal and Snow returned with-
out the stallion, the owner absolutely refusing to name
any price at that time. Snow has since received word
from Ben Davies, the owner of Zolock. stating that,
the horse would not be campaigned this year, but
saved over for another season. Failing to get Znlock,
Mr. Miller determined to purchase Zephyr at a figure
somewhere near her value, but his offer of $15,000 was
turned down. — Chicago Horseman.

There is a possibility of a match race 'or $5000 a side
between Chas. C. Lloyd's Chain Shot 2:001 and Fred
Gerken's The Monk 2:08}. Both owners have great
faith in the respective abilities of their horses and are
said to have signified their desire for arranging such a
match race. If the matter is consummated the race
will undoubtedly be held at the Empire City track
meeting in September.

•"THE CALIFORNIA, a stake of two thousand dollars
1 for trotters eligible to the 2:24 class is the first
announcement made by the Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeders Association for its fall meeting this
year, and it is accompanied by a stake of $1000 for 2:20
class pacers and four additional stakes for other classes*
This is only the preliminary announcement. At a
later date a larg« number of purses ranging from ©500
to $1000 each will be given for other classes. The
meeting will in all probability be held at Fresno during
the last week in September, although this will not be
fully determined until next week. However, the place
and date will be definitely fixed and announced before
the date of closing these stakes. Two thousand dollars
is the largest stake for aged trotters that has been
offered in California for years and the Breeders should
receive a big list of entries for it. It is the intention
of the association to make The California an annual
event, and if the entries are sufficiently encouraging,
to increase the amount of the stake annually, until it
ranks with some of the big events given on the East-
ern Grand Circuit. The stake being for trotters
eligible o the 2:24 class, will give all those having
green horses an opportunity that they have desired for
a long time. The horse that wins first money in this
event will earn enough to pay all his training expenses
for the year and a goodly sum besides, and as Napa,
Woodland, the State Fair and Bakersfield can be de-
pended upon to offer generous purses for the slow
classes, green horses that are at all promising should
be worth training and racing this year. The Breeders
having broken the ice, and an announcement having
been made by the Napa and Woodland associations
that their purses will be officially announced next
week, horse owners can be assured that the California
circuit will be a good one this year — better, in fact,
than has been seen here for a long time. Let every
ODe interested in harness hor?e affairs get in now and
"boost" the circuit and each and every meeting that
is announced. This will be a very successful year if
all help.

ANEW FAIR GROUND, comprising seventy acres
of most excellent land just east of and adjoining
the town of Concord, has been purchased by the
Contra Costa Agricultural Society, and a new mile
track and buildings will be immediately constructed
and finished in time for the fair this year. The soil of
the new purchase is particularly adapted for the pur-
pose and an excellent track is assured. In the little
town of Concord $2950 was raised by subscription to
aid the association in acquiring this new property.
Martinez, which is but six miles distant, will also raise
a substantial sum to help the enterprise along.

DEATH has again entered the home of Mr. and
Mrs. John F. Boyd of San Rafael and taken

Boyd, Jr., their only remaining son, aged fifteen years

whither he had been taken in search of health, and
the funeral was held from St. Paul's church at San
Rafael on Wednesday of this week. That death

THE OHIO, a ten thousand dollar purse for trotters
eligible to the 2:11 classes, closes with Secretary
Campbell, of Oakley Park, Cincinnati, on Monday
next. May 5th. At the same time six additional purses,
five of $3000 and one of $2000 will close. The Oakley
Park meeting will be held during the five days begin-
ning September 30th. Read the advertisement for full
particulars and remember that Monday next is the
date of closing.

ENTRIES close Wednesday, May 21st, for the spring
race meeting of the Vancouver Jockey Club.
There is a total of $1550 in purses offered for two days
of racing, and both harness horses and runners are
provided for. $300 is given for a free-for-all trot or
pace. J200 for the 2:40 class trot or pace, and $200 for
a running race at a mile and an eighth. The remain-
ins purses range from $100 to $150. See advertisement.

RANCHO DEL PASO will hold another sale of
trotting bred and general purpose mares and
geldings at the American river bridge, just outside the
city of Sacramento, on Thursday, the 15th instant.
This will be a good opportunity to get good horses
that have looks and breeding. At the same time about
70 head of mules will be offered. See advertisement.

A Trotting Two Year Old.

Oakland, April 30, 1902.

Dear Breeder, and Sportsman— I saw a squib
in a recent issue of your paper on Pete Williams' great
race horse Monterey 2:091. Permit me to say a good
word for another good horse — Slam B. 2:11}. (How
many of your readers know that Stamboul is the city
of the Golden Horn?) But that is another story.

J. P. Patrey, a friend of mine, a horseshoer by pro-
fession, the man who put most of the shoes on the fly-
ing feet of the Alex Button family, the first man in
California to put the outside spurs on tho hind shoes
(an idea original with Mr Geo. Woodward), to stay
(hoi'1 up) the ankles of the Button family. Mr.
Patrey's sons all started at the foot of the class. His
oldest son is now at the head, being a dentist associated
with Dr. Walker of Oakland.

But again I have digressed. To progress I must
confine myself to the "hoss."

"Well, Rustic," said my friend Patrey, "I saw a
sure enough trotter last Sunday — a Stam B."

"How is he bred on the dam's side?"

"Out of the Waldstein mare Swift Bird, which Hi
Hogoboom gave a two year old record of 2:27"

"Well, he ought to go," I said.

" Yes, ■■'■said Patrey, " he can go; he belongs to a
running horse trainer at Oakland race track, named
Smith. He is only two years old, but last Sunday Smith
having him hitched to a double seated cart, played
with the boys on the five-eighths track at the Six-
teenth street station." "My!" said Patrey, waxing
enthusiastic, "this baby, not 15 hands high, trotted to
that cart a quarter in 35 seconds alongside Doc Wilkes!"

"But," resumed Patrey sadly, "you know, Rustic,
those running horse men don't know how to team
trotters. This little fellow is a peach, not only in point
of speed but in disposition. So soon as the colt is
through with his brush he is content to do the will of
his master. Entered as he is in the Occident and Stan-
ford stakes, Mr. Smith is taking deperate chances so
early in the game of life."

As the sparks flew over the smithy floor, my friend
said, " Men who love the trotters can train runners —
Knap McCarty, Frank Van Ness and By Holly have
taught the boys that."

" Yes," said Rustic, "legs and feet or you can't re-
peat. Watch the little Stam B. out of Swift Bird. If
he stands up to his work I'll (Sam) Gamble he wins
some of the money. Tell Smith to call the colt Hi
Stam or Stam Boom after Hi Hogoboom," said

Rustic.

Alcyo 2:10 Defeated the Runner.

The contest between Mr. B. S. Krehe's stallion Aloyo
2:10, and Farmer Buncb's running mare, came off at
the San Jose track on Wednesday of this week, instead
of Saturday last as was at first intended. The track
was too heavy on Saturday for fast pacing after the
rain of the day previous, so a postponement was had,
but everything was favorable Wednesday and the con-
test took place.

At ten o'clock in the forenoon Alcyo came on the
track hitched to a high wheeled cart and driven by
his owner, Mr. Krehe. He was closely followed by
Farmer Bunch's running mare, also hitched to a cart
of the old style and driven by William Montgomery.
After a little jockeying they got away from the three
quarter pole at an even break, Alcyo rushing to the
front when the word was given and securing the lead
in a few strides. At the head of the stretch Mont-
gomery brought the runner up, but Alcyo beat him
to the wire in 33 seconds.

Mr. Montgomery said he could not catch the flying
Alcyo and Bunch advised him to take a longer whip
in the next heat, the short sulky whip he had being a
too mild persuader for a thoroughbred hitched so far
in front. Mr. M took the advice, but Alcyo defeated
him in the second heat in 32 seconds. The third heat
was a nice one as Alcyo was just getting warmed up
and when he stepped the quarter without a skip or a
touch of the whip in 30A seconds, Bunch was ready to
acknowledge that he had no business backing a pesky
runner against such a pacer. Alcyo was hooked to a
very heavy old style sulky and it was his first real
workout this year, so his performance stamps him as
a horse with all the speed that has been credited to
him.

Famous old Charter Oak Park at Hartford has a
splendid lot of entries for its September meeting. The
Charter Oak 2:11 trot $1000 purse, has fourteen nomi-
nators, among them Chas. E. Clark of Fresno and
the Santa Rosa Stock Farm.

The $3000 purse for 2:19 trotters has 38 nominators.
The California bred horses among these are Princess
Derby by Charles Derby, Elmoore by Azmoor, The
Roman by McKinney, Lauretta by Norris, and Rubato
by Steinway. Charley Clark of Fresno has named
Cozad 2:20i, the horse he purchased over East last
year, in this race.

There are 33 nominators in the 2:30 trot, the purse
for which is $3000. In this race Will Durfee of Los
Angeles, has entered Ben Liebes and Coronado by
McKinney and the stallion Petigru by Kingward that
he bought in Kentucky last year. Thos. W. Lawson
names in this race the Palo Alto bred mare Juntorio
by Altivo. J. H. Quinn of Worcester, Mass., has
entered the bay gelding Prince Whips by Dexter
Prince out of Linnet by Electioneer, that was also
bred at Palo Alto, and Terrace Farm, Titusville, Pa.,
has named in this race the Zombro mare Zephyr, that
was sold for $9000 last year.

In the 2:09 pace there are 21 nominators. This is a
hot class and all the best green pacers in the East are
entered, including Direct Hal, Beauseaunt and others.
Sir Albert S. 2:08j is named by the Santa Rosa Stock
Farm, and Prince Direct (formerly Freddie C. 2:14})
is entered by Myron McHenry.

There are 15 nominators to the 2:16 $3000 pace, the
majority of whom have made more than one nomina-
tion. Will Durfee has named Silver Coin by Steinway
out of Jennie Mac 2:09 by McKinney. Fred" Isabel of
Shawmut. Mass., has entered Naniva a bay mare by
Chas. Derby out of Clytie II, dam of Neernut 2:12}, in
this event. Velvet Rose a fast mare by McKinney out
of Etta Wilkes is one of the entries. She is owned by
Terrace Farm, Titusville, Pa.

The 2:30 pace has entries from 31 nominators. The
purse is $3000. East View Farm has entered East
View, a black gelding by Chas. Derby. Juan Galleagos
enters Diablito by Diablo. O. A. Hickok names
Thornway by Steinway. A. Kaul of St. Mary's, Pa.,
has entered the pacer Funston by Dictatus 2:17 that
Sandy Smith bought for him last year. for $2000, and
Terrace Farm has named Velvet Rose by McKinney.

If all the California bred horses that are entered get
to the post there will be some very fast records made
if they are beaten, as there is not one but has shown
very fast in its work. Secretary Stalker is to be con-
gratulated on the excellent showing made by his
entry list.

NAPA TO THE FRONT.

Twelve Generous Purses Announced for tie Asso-
ciation's August Meeting.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Napa
Agricultural Fair Association held last Monday after-
noon, it was decided to offer the following purses at
the coming races to be held in Napa, August ISth to
23d, inclusive:

Trotting— 2:40 class. 3800; 2:30 class, S700; 2:24 class.
$600; 2:19 class, 8600; 2:15 class, 8600; 2:12 class, SoOOi

Pacing— Green class, 8500; 2:25 class, 8500; 2:20 class,
8500; 2:15 class, 8500; 2:12 class, 8500; free-for-all pace,
8500.

There will be a road race to which horses of Napa
county without records will be eligible for a purse of
8200.

Probably another local race will be arranged for
running horses.

There will beat least four days of harness racing and
if a running program is arranged, which is very prob-
able, the runners will have a day or two set aside for
them and there will not be a mixed program of trotting
and running on the same day. This is a very wise
conclusion for the association to reach and will meet
with the approbation of both classes of horsemen.

The Napa Association was never in as good shape as
it is now. The new Board cf Directors is composed of
energetic business men, and Secretary Bell is an
especially active and progressive 'official. In next
week's issue of the Breeder and Sportsman the
official advertisement of these purses will appear. The
date set for closing is June 2d. Let every owner and
trainer in California make up his mind to race at Napa
this year. The track will be worked especially for
harness horses, and as Napa has always been a good
town for harness races large crowds are certain to
attend and make the meeting successful. The Napa
Association is the first district organization to announce
a program, and therefore deserves the patronage and
support of every owner. Make its entry list a boomer.

Rich Purses at Lexington.

The Directors of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders Association, on Wednesday, April 16th, held
their first meeting since the election of E. W. Shanklin
as Secretary, and at this meeting many important
matters pertaining to the future ot this association
and particularly to the annual meetiDg of October 7-
18th, were considered and determined upon.

Among other things, the fixed events, ten in num-
ber, to which the entries will close on Monday, June
2d, were decided upon as follows:

1. The Transylvania, 2:12 trot 86,000

2. The McDowell, 2:10 trot 5,000

3. The Tennessee, 2:08 pace 3,000

4. Walnut Hall Cup, 2:15 trot 3,000

5. The Blue Grass, 2:19 trot 2,000

6. The Johnston, 2:24 trot 2,000

7. The West, 2:29 trot 2,000

8. The Kentucky, three year old trot.. 2,000

9. The Lexington, two year old trot.. 2,000
10. The Wilson, 2:20 pace 2,000

Entries in all, excepting the Transylvania, must be
named on June 2d. In the Transylvania starters need
not be named before September 19th. Entrance in
each is 5 per cent of purse, payable in four instalments
as follows: June 2d, July 15th, September 2d, and the
night before the race. These events will be carded, so
that one horse may be named and start in two or more,
with from three to seven days rest between.

It was also determined at this meeting to open about
September 1st, to close September 19th, purses of a
thousand dollars or more each for all classes, to com-
plete the program of three or more races on each of
the ten days of the meeting.

Another matter which received the attention of the
Board and was favorably acted upon was that author-
izing the Secretary to enter into a contract for placing
throughout the grounds a water main of not less than
six inches, with fire plugs wherever needed, thus afford-
ing all property ample protection in case of fire.

Secretary Shanklin, with his assistant, has been very
busy for the last several days writing to every owner,
as far as known at this time, of each entry in the
Futurities for foals of '99 and for foals of '00 — three
year olds and two year olds now — to be trotted for this
fail, asking if there have been any transfers of owner-
ship of theseentries, in order that they may be notified
of the payments due upon these stakes June 1st.

A gentleman who was looking for a fast green pacer
last week, had Green Meadow Stock Farm's chestnut
horse, Robert I., recommended to him. He tele-
graphed for a price on the son of Hambletonian
Wilkes and Anna Belle 2:27}, and the reply named
85000 as the figure at which he would be sold. The
sale was not made.

Already at Agricultural Park active preparations
are in progress for the coming trotting and pacing
season. On the historic old track, where some of the
greatest races of the State and country have been
contested, may be seen any one of these fine mornings
many horses at work. Not the least interesting of
these are the two and three year olds, many of which
are entered in rich stakes and futurities. There are in
the stable of each trainer an unusually large number
of these products of noted California sires — the result
of the improvement of the status of harness racing in
the past few years.

Vet Tryon has already a dozen horses on hand, and,
assisted by his sons, is kept busy from dawn till sunset.
The Palo Alto stallion Azmoor by Electioneer, the
best known, being the progenitor of several listed race
horses, and able himself to show to-day a rattling gait.
In the Tryon stable are Mayor Clark's pacer Fred
Ames, moving at about 2:20, and bis trotter Queen of
Bavaria, that has shown 2:23K

A five year old trotting mare owned by Supervisor
Tom Snyder of Yolo county, by Sable Wilkes, out of
a Harold mare, is at the track, as is also the following
list of good ones:

A fast green pacing gelding by Algona, dam by
Echo, the property of Frank Wheeler, the Haggin
grant blacksmith; Polka Dot, Mr. Tryon's pacer, by
Mendocino, dam Maud Merrill 2:18; a little bay pacing
mare owned by William Jasper of Wheatland, and
sired by Fred Kiesel's Dynamo, a son of Falrose, and
showing quarters in 34 seconds; Dan Flint's 2:25 trotter
Rainbow; a six year old green pacer by Tom Benton,
owned by W. D. Nichols; Frank Wright's five year
old fast pacing Direct mare, dam by Steinway, recently
brought here from San Jose, and his two year old
Knight colt, an Occident Stake prospect, dam Regina
F. 2:181;; Gus Buchanan's bay trotting gelding by

Big Money at Oakley Park.

To California Horsemen: The promise by the man-
agement of Oakley Park, that a 810,000 purse would
be hung up for its Grand Circuit meeting has been
fulfilled. The 2:11 class trotting, "The Ohio," is the
rich piece of fruit that is ofiered the campaigners, to
call at the treasurer's office in October next for a
division of this valued purse. The invitation is gen-
eral, both to the Ohio, and the other six early closing
events, five of which are for 83000 each, and the last
but by no means the least — the three year old trotters
are presented with $2000 as an incentive to future great-
ness. Mental captivity of thought may prevent you
from winning one of the valuable purses for this
meeting.

We close Monday, May 5th, read the ad in the col-
umns of the Breeder and Sportsman. Make and
mail your entries on that day and date. Oakley Park
will do the rest. Very truly yours,

P. M. Campbell, Sec'y.

wealthier southern trout fishermen go at least that far
for their annual outing- with the fish.

The San Francisco Club is very strong financially
now, and it has done great work for the preservation
of trout. With a good fly-casting club in Los Angeles
to stimulate the interest in that class of fishing, a great
deal could be done for Southern California. Bear
valley and much of the adjacent country is almost
ideal for trout, and a club which would take enough
interest to look to the preservation of the local
trout by proper screens and simple precautions when
streams are diverted would do wonders for the sport.

Fly-Casting Club.

The first re-entry fly-casting scores are given below.
The second re-entry dates are May 10th end 11th, fol-
lowing which the class series of contests will take

Los Angeles Fiy-Casting Club.

Among southern sportsmen there seems to be a
movement in favor of the formation of a fly-casting
club. John H. Schumacher, E. B. Tufts, Louis Breen,
W. W. Richards, Secretary of the California Game
and Fish Protective Association, A. Russell Crowell
and others are taking an active interest in the move-
ment, W.W. Richards, who is an enthusiastic angler,
has given the southern sportsmen a thorough canvass
in the matter.

The park authorities in Los Angeles would doubtless
offer the desired facilities at Eastlake or Westlake
Park. With a club started and a favorable place
secured for the sport the success of the new organiza-
tion would be assured.

Here in San Francisco the fly casters use Stow lake
in Golden Gate Park and the Park Commission has
done everything possible for the club's convenience.
A twelve-foot fence has been erected for a windbreak,
and a room in the boathouse is reserved for members'
use. The sportsmen are encouraged, and they furnish
a valuable attraction to the park, for many come to
see them at their practice. The same thing can be
done in L03 Angeles.

Down south there are no creeks the angler can do
casting on, but in the Kern river country it comes
handy to know how to get out, and most of the

The open season on trout in Santa Barbara county
commenced on Thursday, May 1st. There is an un-
usual amount of water in the Santa Barbara streams
this season, and it is expected that fishing will be ex-
ceptionally good. Monterey county open season also
begins on the same date.

Fly-fishing prospects are daily growing better with
the continuance of warm weather. At Point Reyes
some excellent catches have been made in the white
house pool and below. The black gnat and coachman
seems to be the most killing lure. Reports from Men-
docino county are to the effect that stream fishing in
nearly every section is first class.

AT THE TRAPS.

The contest for the Shields' cup will be terminated
to-morrow at the Union Gun Club shoot.

The California Wing Club live bird sboot and the
Union Gun Club blue rock shoot are the attractions at
the Ingleside grounds to-morrow.

The Oxnard Gun Club has arranged to hold a two
days* trap shoot at its new grounds, east of Oxnard,
Saturday and Sunday, May 10th and 11th. The com-
mittee chosen to conduct the tournament is composed
of Messrs. B. S. Virden, T. E. Walker, C. Coultas, H.
Coultas and R. B. Witman. The last tournament was
successful and this shoot promises to be the same.

The Golden Gate Gun Club members and guests sbot
live birds at Ingleside last Sunday. A strong westerly
wind blowing right across the traps and an extra hard
lot of birds put a few goose eggs in several promising
scores. George H. T. Jackson and Dr. Derby killed
straight in the ciub race and divided 80?,; of the added
money; they also each received a club gold bar for the
straight scores. Following the regular club match 12
and 6 bird pools were shot. A summary of scores is
the following:

The sixth annual bench show of the San Francisco
Kennel Club can be said to have been in many respects
one of the best dog shows ever held in this city. The
entry, 842, was a record one. The number of dogs
benched however numbered but 482. When from this
number is taken the grand entry of Greyhounds and
the dogs sent from various points within a radius of
fifty miles of this city it will be seen that not many'
more than 300 local dogs were benched. This showing
is not as good as has bten made at past shows, however,
we must say this much for the management, they
accomplished marvels in the face of circumstances -and
conditions and they are entitled to great praise for the
successful manner in which the affair was carried
through. Had it not been for the street railway strike
there is no doubt but the record gate for a dog show
in this city would have been in substantial evidence in
the cash-box — as it was, the attendance was stroDg
enough to bring out an even balance on the ledger.

A report of the various breeds and classes will be
found on a page following this; the large list of
specials was, for lack of space, necessarily left over
until the next issue. The complete list of the regular

IX THE RING.

The judo-fog was conducted simultaneously in two
rings and "commenced at 2 P. M., Wednesday. Mr.
John Davidson started with St. Bernards and con-
tinued on Mastiffs. Great Danes, Newfoundlands (?),
Foxhounds, Pointers, Setters, Irish Water Spaniels
and Beao-les. Mr. G. M. Carnochan took Fox Terriers
in hand! Dr. Geo. W. Clayton jugded Collies, Field
Spaniels, Cockers, Dalmatians, Poodles, Bulldogs, all
Terriers (except Fox Terriers), Dachshunds, Pugs,
Spitz, Toy Terriers, Blenheims, King Charles, Esqui-
maux and Miscellaneous. The Greyhounds were under
Mr. G. A. Cranfield. Major J. L. Rathbone judged
the packs of hounds and Hon. Ho Yow. Imperial
Chinese Consul-General, passed on the Oriental breeds.

With but very few exceptions the awards were satis
factorily accepted. J. B. Martin acted as ring steward
for Mr. Carnochan, and "Billy" Chute was ring assist-
ant to Judge Davidson.

Rough coated St. Bernards with sixteen benched,
were ordinary excepting three or four. Glenwood
Kennels made the most imposing display. Premier
honors went to Lester C, who was handled by Mrs.
Chas. Newman in a very charming manner. -Xester C.
was put down in fine condition and shows great im-
provement since his h e win here in 1900. First win-
ners, open, limit and three specials for best were his
due in the company against him. He is of good con-
formation, strong boned, well balanced and very good
all round for so large a dog. He shows the Alta Millo
head strongly. Bernard II, second open, first novice
and reserve winners, a fairly good headed dog. Le
King, third open, was off in hindquarters and not as
good as we have seen him. California Eberacum
absent. Glenwood Booze is a promising puppy. Sir
William Wallace, second limit, is a fair hig dog. In
bitches, Alta Rachel, first winners and open, in good
condition. Lady Melba, second open, and Zuleika
third, were placed right. Alta Mildral firstlimt would
have gone well in open, we also preferred her for first
winners. In smooths, eight entries; quality, with the
exception of Miss Barry and Princess of Solano, was a
rather lacking quantity. General B. in fine condition
is a well bodied big dog, fair haad, but sour expression
and lacks character. Duke Russell, a Los Angeles
dog, seemed to be overfieshed, he showed quality and
form that was not brought out.

Six Mastiffs were a good example of the present type
decadence of the breed. Sharkey was a good specimen
of the Mastiff in vogue two decades ago, particularly
in rounded skull and muzzle.

Great Danes brought out twenty-one dogs, a fair
averaging lot generally. Bluebeard, first winners and
open, shows improvement; he has a clean cut head,
good neck and shoulders, is well bodied, has clean cut
legs and shows strong character and type. Duke, a
handsome harlequin, lost on head and throat, being
just too light in this respect to balance the well bodied
dog that he is. Ruy Bias, a good young one, proved
immature in the contest against the grown dogs. He
has the type, character and quality to go up several
pegs a year hence. Alphonse, first puppies, is a fine
headed one and full of Dane quality all over. Nero,
first limit, did well considering a pair of bad hind legs.
Mona, first winners and open, had but a shade the best

of the race over Carlotta. Both bitches are good ones;
Mona could be better in ears. Maud S., third open
and limit, put down in good condition, is a nice dark
fawn, has a good head and expression and a very sym-
metrical body and legs.

Newfoundlands, two alleged specimens, was another
regretable showing of the gradual transition of a one
time favorite and grand breed from type to big
mongrels.

Greyhounds, in a separate and tastefully decorated
section apart from the main exhibit, were a revelation
to many lovers of the dog. Some six score of these
handsome and graceful companions of the leashman
made up a world's record showing of fleeted footed
stars of the coursing sward. We doubt very much if
the Greyhounds installed on the benching, arranged
about the sides of a spacious quadrangle, could be sur-
passed, in quality or speed, by a similar aggregation
of coursing dogs,*at any other place in the world. On
these benches were dogs, and also their sons and
daughters, that have shown speed, courage and intelli-
gence in many a gruelling and hard fought final in a
60, TO and even more than an 80 dog stake, both in the
open and on the enclosed ccursing field. These dogs
are the speedy and high class descendants of the fleet
footed coursers whose exploits have made coursing
history for decades past.

Master MeGrath, Herschel, Fullerton, Scavenger,
Lady Barton, Greentick, old St. Lawrence, Prince
Charlie, White LiDS, Bessie Lee, Bit of Fashion, Min-
eral Water and all of the old guard, premiers of the
leashmen's love, whose Spartan performances entitle
those dogs to a warm spot in the hearts and memories
of sportsmen, and leashmen in particular, were ably
represented" by direct blood line descendants at the
show last week.

Heretofore, the leashmen, whilst giving their moral
support to past bench shows, have held aloof from a
practical affiliation with dog show enterprises, they
now experienced a change of heart and under the
benignant influences of the California Coursing Com-
mittee and actuated by a doubly worthy motive, came
to the front with the representative showing of dogs
above mentioned. The arrangement of classes was a
novel one, due to the ingenuity of Mr. L. A. Klein and
the sugges lions of prominent coursing enthusiasts.

In open, Roman Athlete, a black and white dog,
first, showed in fine condition. He is big boned but
symmetrical and classic in outlines, has a clean cut
head, good depth of girth, wonderful quarters and
proper feet. He is muscled like a gladiator and is a
fit scion of old Emin Pasha, the black whirlwind that
ran out and won many a hot course at the old Ingle-
side grounds — outpointing his opponents time and
again. He looks like a goer all over. Real Article, a
brindle, smaller than Athlete, second, has not so much
bone nor is she as neat and clean built as the winner
although she shows more class and a betterexpression.
Cavalier, third, shows age and is now a bit loaded in
the shoulders. McHenry, a handsome brindle with
white markings, one of the v h c dogs in the open class,
was liked very much by many. This dog showed very
poorly in the ring, but was a racy and typical looking
dog withal.

Tame Tralee, a neat and very speedy looking dog
with fair expression and quality but a bit light in
shoulders, was reserve in the class of twenty-six dogs.
In open bitches, Ruby Sankey first, is a high class one,
neat sized, standing up well, pretty body and showing
good bone, legs and feet. Bona Magnifica, second, lost
in hind quarters and lacked the laciness of style of
Sankey. Third, Harlean Gladys, is a neat little bitch,
but a poor shower in the ring. She has a good head
and is of excellent general type but was not put down
in the best condition. Rubber Ankles, reserve, is a
sweet looking young one, a bit light in head, but with
a grand body that gives promise of great development.
In the field trial class for dogs that reached the semi-
finals or better, in champion or open stakes and final
rounds in reserve stakes, Roman Athlete was again in
front, Real Article, Cavalier and Luxor following in
the order named. Luxor shows his age, being some-
what loaded in shoulders, but is notwithstanding a
high c'ass dog, as Curtis & Sons' baDk account will
bear witness.

In field class B, for bitches that had reached semi-
finals or better in champion and open stakes or finals
of reserve stakes, Bonnie Hughie, a handsome fawn
and white bitch was first. Aggie W. second, was sent
in the ring in poor condition, but is a bitch of high
quality; third went to Fiery Face, a nice sized brindle,
of good type and built on the racy lines that would be
expected of a dog from Fawcett Brothers' kennels;
being in whelp possibly kept her down a color or so in
the ribbons. Bonnie Pasha, reserve, seems a bit gone
in front and is also undershot.

Field trial class C, for dogs that had not gone to the
semi-finals in open or champion stakes, or finals in
reserve stake events brought Belfast up first. He is a
good, straight fronted dog with a classy looking head
but could be a bit better in loins and hindquarters.
Toronto, a son of St. Lawrence, was a close second,
is lighter in bone and shoulders. Grey Cloud, third,
is not as good in head or expression as the winners.
In this class of eleven dogs, every one entered got
three or two letters.

Field class D, for hitches that had never reached the
semi-finals in champion and open stakes or finals of
reserve stakes, consisted of fourteen, all but one came
in for recognition. Alice Louise, first, was sent in the
ring in splendid condition and is a good looking hitch
all round. Fanny Hughie, a sister of Bonnie Hughie,
took the red ribbon and Bona Magnifica played for
third place. The reserve dog, Gladys Weller,"seemed
to be somewhat small in size.

In the junior class for dogs under eighteen months
old, Creswick. first, a big, upstanding youngster by
Herschel's Pride out of Morning Glory, snowed quality
and style all through, he is good in shoulders, chest,
loins and hindquarters and has excellent legs and feet.
Renegade Apache, second, by Fortuna Favente out of
Brilliantine, was slightly out of shape and had the sus-
picion of a flat back. Third, taken by Gloster, a black
brother of Renegade, was given to a dog just a shade
enough off in the shoulders to mar his general clean

cut appearance. In this class of eight, every one put
in the ring took a mention from the judge. In the
junior class for bitches under eighteen months old,
Rubber Ankles, the Fortuna Fayente puppy out of
Brilliantine, was first. Ready Address, a sister, was
second and Runaway Address, another of the same
family, made third. Reserve went to Medea, a bitch
by Fetter Free out of the good bitch Rocketta.

In the special novice class for dogs and bitches that
had no! previously won on the bench or not more than
two courses in any stake Renegade Apache took the
blue, Dathy (imp. Hughie ex Geary's Bonnie Lass)
second, Pat Freedom, a For Freedom-Lawrence Belle
dog, third, and Fred Freedom, a brother, with one
letter, were properly placed. In the special novice
class for bitches Rubber Ankles was first, Alameda
Lass, a neat one second, and Nellie Grey third, seemed
to be placed in proper order;' two other bitches in the
class also got deserved attention from the judge

In the special team class Mr. J. H. Rosseter placed

Rubber Ankles, May Hampstead, Roman Athlete and

Royal Archer to the front for the kennel prize. A. R.

Curtis took second kennel prize with four of his dogs.

[Concluded next week.}

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

Mr. Leon Greenebaum purchased the Bulldogs End-
cliffe Eminent and Endcliffe Forceps last week.

Irving C. Acierman and Phil C. Mever have "one in
together on Bostons? Mr. Thomas disposed of End-
cliffe Premier and Endcliffe Vernette to them. T hey
aiso purchased the wires Endcliffe Skyscraper and End-
cliffe Skyrocket.

Entries for ( Sacramento show close on the 6th.
Julius Redelsheimer has donated a prize of $10 to the
San Francisco handler with the iargest string entered.
Wm. Halley offers a silver cup for best Great Dane
bitch bred on the Coast.

Endcliffe Bristles, the wire-haired Fox Terrier that
took first in his class and swept the show for best, was
purchased by Mr. Carnochan.

Bristles, after a close run against the dog tilent
shown, was awarded the magnificent bronze vase
donated by the Hon. Ho Yow. The vase is a handsome
work of art and is now a bone of contention between
the purchaser and Mr. Thomas. The latter contends
that having entered the dog and paid the fees, he
is entitled to all of the wins. Mr. Carnochan
claimed the trophy, but Mr. Thomas said "Nay, nay,"
"If you don't like it, I'm willing to call it oflV'iaid }Ir.
Thomas. The purchaser closed the deal immediately
wth a check which was accepted. We are informed,
by Mr. Christenson, that he heard Mr. Carnochan
stipulate when he bought the dog that any prizes from
that time on, Thursday, would go to the new owner,
which was assented to by the seller, and there the
matter rests.

Frederick Mansell of London, tba judge of the dog
show at Portland, donated ten fine engravings of
crack dogs of the day, which were awarded as special
prizes. The awards were as follows:

A cow that does not average bix or
seven quarts a day for 300 days, from 4000
to 4500 pounds a year, is not considered
profitable. This is a hurried old world
and our Western Yankees tnd Missourians
have no time to wait. The hustling
farmer or dairyman who lets a lively boy
with a dog take his cows to and from the
range, fana them with a milk stool or
pitchfork or nudges them with a number
ten boot can never make them pay for
their keep — nor will they help to raise the
mortgage. It has been shown by experi-
ments that kindness and groomiDg of
cows gives a difference of 2.5 to 8.3 per
cent in the yield of milk and fat.

In a trial with thirteen calves, ranging
from two to three months of age, it was
found that S68 pounds of water was con-
s med in seven days or nearly ten pounds
a day to each head. It was noticed that
these calves drank several times a day but
sipped only a little at a time Even after
their ration of milk they would take a few
swallows of water. An automatic waterer
situated a little above the surface of the
ground is the best arrangement for sup-
plying this need.

WM. G. LAYNG IS IN THE LEAD.

Owing to the demands of the public that I board and keep fine trotters and business horses
for sale, I have leased the premises known as the Fulton Stables, 2-16 Third street, and con-
nected it with my well-known place, the Occidental Horse Exchange, and will hereafter
conduct the entire business under the latter name.

I have room for over 200 horses, the finest of stalls, all on the ground floor, where special
attention is paid their sanitation and ventilation. The large area of ground space, 120z
250 feet, gives me plenty of room for keeping horses in any manner desired, commodious bos
stalls, fine tanbark ring and large enclosure to exercise horses in. A splendid entrance on
Third street (the busiest in San Francisco) and another on Clementina street in the rear,
give me opportunities for the reception and delivery of horses and vehicles unequaled by
any one in San Francisco.

The fame of the Occidental Horse Exchange for holding auction sales of all kinds is
world wide and I intend to hold sales in the same manner as heretofore, with this excep-
tion: I will accommodate more horses and have the sales pavilion fitted up better than
heretofore. I have sold horses for the following, to whom I respectfully refer breeders and
owners: A. B. Spreckels. Prince Poniatowski, Charles Kerr, W. O'B. Maedonougb, Edw.

that the season will be slow and draggy.
Until the present labor troubles with the
American woolen trust are straightened
out there will be very small demand for
wool. This company which is the largest
consumer in the country has closed down
the maprity of its mills owing to the
strike of weavers and until this matter is
settled there will be practically no market
for wool and this is about the same old
»ell that we hear every spring when shy-
ster buyers begin to arrive from the east.

In order to make some tests as to the
keeping qualities of certain butter, officers
of the department of agriculture pur-
chased forty-four tubs out of the sixty
tubs exhibited at the Kansas State dairy
meeting held last month. The best of
this butter made from pasteurized cream
which li ad been heated to 190 degrees F.
and immediately cooled. Some of it came
from SKim stations fifty miles away from
the central plant. Tne average score was
98.9, the highest being 98 and the lowest

Rub" it on bare spots, old sores, inflammatory
swellings, scratches, grease heel and skin disease.
It penetrates and soothes, and the horse grows
well as he toils throughout the day.

After Blistering, Veteresabt Pixine is the
very best application that could be indicated.
It absorbs all inflammatory exudate and has-
tens the reparatory process. Will heal the
most severe cases without scar and will pre-
vent loss of hair.

As a Preventive.— if a light application of Vet-
erinary Pixine is used before speeding, driv-
ing in wet, muddy or slushy weather, or in the
snow, yourhorsc will never have speed cracks,
scratches or grease heel.

For Hoofs.— It will keep the hoofs healthy, soft
and in perfect form.

This penetrating, stimulating, soothing, absorb-
ing, antiseptic, healing ointment heals from be-
neath the surface by disinfecting the parts, sub-
duing the inflammation and stimulating healthy
granulation, not by drying and scabbing.

132,000 Deaths from
this alone.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright'* Dlse* -e.
Posted clubmen understand this so n '1
that many have tests made every fe
months Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and D'abetes are increas-
ing at a fearful rate The last census re-
ports snow that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132.000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing thisone fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curable in about 81% of all case=. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

SEYMOUR "WILKES earned his record in a
hard fought race and was a game race horse.
The oldest of his get are five-year-olds, and no
horse in California can show a greater propor-
tion of large, handsome, strongly built and
well-honed colts They all look alike and in
nearly every instance are square trotters. The

SEYMOUR WILKES is by Guy Wilkes his
dam Early Bird by Play mail: second dam by
Odd Fellow, third dam by a son of Williamson's
Belmont, fourth dam by Blackhawk 767. He
weighs 1500 pounds, stands 16 hands high and is
nne of the most symmetrical horses in California.
Several of his get are in San Francisco and wiil

MONTEREY 31706 3S8S

PEDIGREE IN PART.

SIRED BY SIDNEY 2:19?i, sire or 17 in the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, 3 better than 2:10. and Lenna
X. 2:05*4 (champion record), and 96 in the charmed eircle. Hattie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares. Com. Belmont 4340, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2:18?^.
Barona. his second dam, is by Woodford's Mambrino 2:21 ya, and his third dam, Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25. sire of Lula 2:15; fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at; he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th, a half in 1:15, first quarter in 0:40',$, last
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than
any oolt I ever saw and do it easier. Walter S. Maben."

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep him down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top, and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,

©tie gveeitev cmfr Srpurtsmcm

[May 10, 1902

MANY STALLS WERE VACATED at Pleasanton
during last week and there is now room for a
few more at the horse centre. Bert Webster took the
Griffith consignment to Cleveland during the early
part of the week and on Saturday last Millard Sanders
hooked his carload of Santa Rosa Stock Farm horses
to the overland express and was whirled away from
the station amid the cheers and best wishes of a couple
of hundred people who had gathered to wish him bon
voyage and good luck. "The best string of race horses
that ever left Pleasanton" was the verdict passed on
them by the horsemen of that town who had seen Mr.
Sanders giving them their work. There was Dolly
Dillon 2:07. the fastest mare on the Grand Circuit last
year and confidently expected to hold the same proud
position this year and to reduce her present record.
She is sound, and stronger and faster than she was
last season at the same time of the year. She has
worked a mile in 2:14, last quarter iD 3U seconds and
was not urged to accomplish this feat. "She will make
Sidney Dillon's name a household word if she keeps
right," said one enthusiastic admirer of this great
mare. Bonsilene 2:14} by Stamboul 2:07J out of Bon
Bon (the dam of Bonnie Direct 2:05}) bv Simmons is
another that will enroll her namehigh up on the speed
scroll this year. She is not what one would call a con-
sistent race mare, but some day when she gets off just
right and the day and track are suitable, she is liable
to trot a mile in 2:04 or better, and be in the same
class as Alix and Nancy Hanks, for she has a truly
marvelous flight of speed. Anzella 2:10! should help
Millard to bring back a share of the money that is
hung up for the 2:10 and 2:11 classes over East. She
is a very game mare, with a great amount of speed,
and although inclined at times to be a little flighty or
contrary, trots steadily in a majority of the heats after
the word is given. I think miles in 2:08, three or four
of them too. are not too much for her. Sir Albert S.
2:08} by Diablo will probably be the member of the
string that the horsemen will be most anxious to look
at when he arrives at Cleveland. The Santa Rosa
Stock Farm has him entered all through the circuit
wherever there is a class for him, and I think he will
not disappoint them. There are quite a number of
horsemen here who shake their heads doubtfully when
his name is spoken and who say, "Wait till he meets a
field of horses that take him to the half in 1:02 and
bring him home at the same rate of speed and he will
find it a harder game than he had in California last
year where he completely outclassed his field." it
may be that they are right, but I think Sir Albert S.
will pace three heats better than his record without
making much fuss about it, and that 2:03 will not be
beyond his limit. He was taken to the half in 1:02
last year and then paced the third quarter in 30
seconds, when he had his field killed off and jogged
home, and as this looked easy for him I believe he is
one of the genuine kino that come one in a bunch and
very few bunches at that. If he has ordinary luck
with Sir Albert S. Millard will earn a lot of money
with him and he compelled to answer many a question
about the gelding's sire, Diablo 2:09}, one of the great-
est young stallions California has yet produced . There
is another trotter in his racing string which may trot a
sensational mile before returning to California. I refer
to Lou Dillon, a daughter of Sidney Dillon that showed
quarters in 31 seconds and a trial mile in 2:15 this
spring. She may be started in a few races this year if
she is in good shape, and if so will make a good showing
as she is a high class trotter. The remaining member
of Mr. Sanders' racing string is the black three year
old stallion owned by Judge Greene of Oakland and a
candidate for the Kentucky Futurity of this year.
This little fellow is an earnest strong trotter, with a
little too much fold of the knee to suit some lor a fast
trotter, but just the sort of action that one would like
in a sire. I believe he will trot in 2:15 handily this
year, but as the Kentucky Futurity has been putting
its winners in the 2:12 class recently he has quite a task
before him to win it. Before leaving Pleasanton San-
ders worked him a mile in 2:2ij, last half in 1:09 and
last quarter in 33} seconds.

oceasion_was one long to be remembered by those
present. There has never been a more popular trainer
at Pleasanton than Mr. Sanders and he left last Satur-
day with the good wishes of every man, woman and
child in the place.

Fred Chadbourne of Pleasanton, who is one of the
coming young trainers of California, drove the big
green pacer by Lottery Ticket last Saturday that his
partner. James Sutherland, has nicknamed Mush.
This horse has had no work at all worth speaking of
and yet he is showing an amount of speed that makes
him look like a money winner this year if raced.
Chadbourne drove him a mile Saturday in 2:18}, last
quarter in 34} seconds, an evenly rated mile through-
out. Mush is not the soft horse he was when taken
out of pasture a few weeks ago. and will have his name
changed before he is entered in the races. Since his
good showing Mr. Sutherland thinks Hard Tack
would be a more suitable cognomen than Mush.

There were great doings in a social way at Pleasan-
ton before the hegira for the East. On the evening of
April 25th, mine host, D. F. Tillman, gave a party in
honor of the departing horsemen, at which there was
dancing in the spacious dining room of the Rose hotel
and a banquet under a canopy in the beautiful garden
which adjoins that famous hostelry. Col J. C. Kirk-
patrick of San Francisco acted as toastmaster and
many witty speeches were made by the different
parties called upon for " a few remarks." On the fol-

During the past few weeks Mr. L. C. Crellin, of the
Ruby Hill Vineyard, has been having J. M. Alviso
work a couple of black fillies by Chas. Derby for him
at the Pleasanton track and both developed speed at
once. One is out of Rubicelle by Prince Red. the
other out of Coquette by Wilton. They both worked
quarters in 35 seconds and gave every promise of being
fast enough to race. Last week Mr. Crellin concluded
to hook them together and everyone that saw them

immediately complimented him on the perfect match
he had made. One is three and the other four years
old and Mr. Crellin is confident that with a little driv-
ing he can pole them together in 2:30 or better. They
have the making of as fine a pair of roadsters as there
is in California. Both are royally bred. The snap
shot herewith of the pair taken last Saturday at the
Pleasanton station does not do them justice, but gives
some idea of their appearance.

have this day presented him with a watch and chain
which we ask him to wear as a token of remembrance
from the Pleasanton Race Track boys." Joe has been
the chief cook at the track during the training season
ever since it was first opened and has lived in and
around Pleasanton for 27 years. He resided when a
boy with a family named Schweerin that valley, hence
his name. Monroe Salisbury says he is the only
"Chink" in the world that can make corn bread that
is corn bread, and Joe always has a big pan full cooked
to the taste of the veteran horseman when the latter
is at the track. Joe's extreme good nature and oblig-
ing disposition have made friends for him that are as
numerous as the names of all those who are employed
at the track. He is the proudest Chinamen that ever
wore a queue over the present of the watch and says
the testimonial will get him the three eyed peacock
feather when he returns to China.

Another lot of stalls were emptied at Pleasanton
during the week when Monroe Salisbury loaded a car
of roadsters for Salt Lake, where the market is good
it is said at the present time. The king-maker had
fifteen head, of which ten were from the farm of A. W.
Shippee, these having beeo worked for the past few
weeks at Pleasanton by Louis Carrillo. Mr. Salisbury
is taking along a pair of trotters that make about the
nicest road team I have seen for some time. They are
gaited alike and hold their heads up nicely at the same
angle, something that few pairs do without an extra
amount of training and checking. One is a bay mare
by McKinney out of a Director mare, and the other a
black gelding by Hawthorne out of a mare by Director.
It is no wonder Mr. Salisbury is pleased with them as
the blood of his old favorite, the winner of the first
Charter Oak and founder of the Director family, is
still dear to him. The mare's second dam was by
another of his old favorites. Monroe Chief, and her
third dam by Blackbird. As she is of good size and
handsome, as well, as fast, she should be a great brood-
mare if given a chance. They are both 15.3 hands
high, weigh 1050 pounds and although just mated
travel together in a very attractive manner. They
were purchased by Mr. Salisbury for his brother O. G.
Salisbury of Salt Lake. Mr. S. has another team, a
pair of pacers, one by Moses S., the other by Rajah.
They are seven years old, sixteen hands high and
travel together with perfect action. I have not seen
a pacing team this year that are better mannered or
more nearly mated.

A few days before any of the boys left for tht Eu;:
there was a presentation made one day at the track,
at which the big fat China cook, Joe, was the aston-
ished recipient of a handsome gold watch and chain
bearing the following inscription engraved on the back :
"Presented to Joe Schweer by the Pleasanton horse-
men, 1902." Accompanying the watch was a type
written testimonial-signed by every owner, trainer and
employe at tbe track and worded about as follows:
"We. the undersigned, desirous of showing the appre-
ciation we have for our friend and "chef" Joe Schweer,

To-morrow morning Orrin Hickok will leave Pleas,
anton for Oakland, at which place he will be joined by
that other veteran, Budd Doble. and the two will
journey together to the Cleveland track. Mr. Hickok
has Clipper 2:06 and Thornway. the green pacer that
went east as a three year old last season and tried to
beat the aged horses. Although he was separately
timed in 2:0* in a race he failed to get a record, but is
expected to get a portion of the money this year. Mr.
Hickok has been working Thornway on the old
fashioned plan that he found so successful in former
years. He bas not given the colt a fast mile at any
time, but plenty of slow heats and long ones, so as to
have him stayed up to go the route. He will wait for
the races to see whether the system is a good one or
not, and as it has done so well for him in bygone days
he has little fear but it will still pan out all right.
Budd Doble is taking back a half dozen head, some of
which are for sale, and others belong to eastern par-
ties who purchased them here during the winter. Ho
will take with him Charles Newman's well known pair
of roan maies, one by a son of Anteeo, the other by
Neernut. They are fast roadsters, Maud having a
record of 2:17.!. and Xeerbell is faster but has no
record. Mr. Doble will show them on the eastern
tracks and may start them in team races if oppor-
tunity offers. In the same car with the veterans
Hickok and Doble, will be a young trainer making bis
first trip over the mountains but who has never yet
driven in actual races. I refer to Robert Galleagos, sou
of Senor Juan Galleagosof Mission San Jose, this State.
He has two pacers, one the little black mare Trilby by
Direct and a chestnut pacer called Diablita by Diablo
Both are green and are well entered on the Grand Cirl
cuit. They were bred by Galleagos senior, who is an
ardent lover of a good horse. He says that Robert
might as well begin in the best school and believes he
will learn more in one season on the Grand Circuit
than he could in a half dozen years on the small tracks.
Trilby has shown a mile in 2:14 and Diablita is fully as
fast. I hope this young man has tbe best of luck, as
he is modest and unassuming intelligent and gentle-
manly, and a worthy son of an upright and honorable
gentleman. He will have the benefit of a week's inter-
course with two of America's greatest reinsmen while
en route, and should be able to pick up enough pointers
to aid him materially in educating and driving his
horses.

Will Welch has three pacers in his string at Pleas-
anton that are headed for the free-for-all classes next
year, and one of them, Uncle John, showed so well last
Saturday that there were several arguments held
among the horsemen over the cjuestion of his ability to
beat Sir Albert S. He is a large horse, fully sixteen
hands high, and is one of the sweetest going ones that
has been seen this year. He has worked a mile in 2:12,
and will be a very dangerous horse up north this season,
his owner, H. W. Goodall, having entered him all
through the North Pacific Circuit. He ought to come
pretty near winning that is2000 stake for 2:18 pacers at
the Oregon Stite Fair at Salem, although Captain
Bennett's Doctor Hammond, another whirlwind green
horse, is in the same race. As he is in Welch's string
also, the latter will probably start the one he thinks is
the best of the '-wo at the time. Both these pacers are by
the Oakwood Park stallion, Chas. Derby, who is one of
the coming great sires of California to a certainty.
Derbyalready hasthreein the2:101ist. Itmay be that
Welch is very lucky io getting jjood horses in his
string, but I am inclined to think he is a speed maker
of ability, as his horses all seem to learn ejuickly to go
fast. Welch was with Keating for quite a while and
worked for some of the leadiog trainers in America.
He probably kept his eyes and ears open all the time
and tried to remember what he saw or beard. I know
he attends very closely to businesses ouietand ener_
getic and is determined to reach the front rank before
he stops.

Notes and News.

Napa,
Colusa ,
Woodland,
The Breeders,
Announce programs.

More will follow next week.

The circuit will be the best in years.

Purses will range from $500 to $2000 on the main cir-
cuit this year.

No books at Xapa on harness races. It has been so
decided by the Directors. Good.

TheCleveland Driving Club will hold its first matinee
of the year on Saturday, June Ttb.

The dam of Dr. Leek 2:09} was bred to Autograph
2:1«>.\ last year and now has a black colt at foot.

The $1000 pace for the 2:20 class is the largest stake
lor pacers announced in California this year so far.

Oakwood Park Stock Farm has bred several mares
to that grand young stallion, Stam B. 2:11:1, this year.

Seven or eight starters should be the result where
associations open a 2:10 pacing class in California this
year.

Caryle Came 2:113, after a year's rest from track
work, is at. it again and is expected to trot heats very
close to his record.

The Golden Gate Fair Associaton has changed its
date to August 23d to 30th. The racing program will
be announced soon.

The Napa track is in good shape for training. As
this will be about the first meeting on the main circuit,
it should be a good place to train.

Lord March, who is counted by Ed Geers, John
Bradburn and others as the fastest trotter ever bred
at Village Farm, is being staked again.

Carmelita, the bay pacing mare by Cornelius that
took a record over East last year of 2:10}, died recently
at Joliet, Illinois. She was bred at Rancho del Paso
in this State.

There has been a general exodus of harness horses
from California to the East during the past four weeks.
More than a hundred fast ones have been sent to the
Bales ring or race tracks.

Are you getting ready to win "The California," the
. $2000 trot for horses of the 2:24 class? The Breeder
thinks that three beats between 2:16 and 2:18 will win
it sure. Paste this in your hat.

Klatawah 2:05-> is going sound and working satisfac-
torily this year at East View Farm. Don Derby 2:13]
is also working nicely this year. He is a full brother
to Diablo and will lower his record.

At the recent Boston horse show Thomas W. Law-
son won 56 ribbons, 23 of them first, representing
S3200 in cash and plate. Eben D. Jordon won 52
ribbons, 21 of them first, with a value of $3185.

Katie G., the dam of Klatawah 2:05Ll, Chas. Derby
2:20, and several others with records below 2:30, was
mated with Mr. Chas. Griffiths' grandly bred racing
whirlwind Bonnie Direct 2:05} this week. This should
make a great cross.

Geo. Beckers says: "If you are looking for a friend
in Los Angeles and he is a horseman, or if you want to
find a man that knows all the horsemen, call at the
Hotel Roslyn and mine host Harrison will point him
out or tell you where he is.

A recent addition to Vance Nuckol's stable is the
chestnut mare Adaria, that trotted to a record of 2:17}
as a four year old last year. She is by Advertiser
2:15], dam Aria 2:16;* by Bernal, grandam Ashby, the
dam of two in 2:20 by Gen. Benton.

Entries for the Decoration Day races of the Golden
Gate Park Driving Association will close positively on
the evening of May 20th, at the association's room,
Palace Hotel. Every member should make as many
entries as possible, so that the meeting will be a great
success. The outlook is for the largest fields and the
best day's sport in the history of the organization.

Hon. Paris Kilburn, president of the State Board of
Harbor Commissioners, recently purchased a very
handsome mare from a friend in Salinas, his old home.
She is by Adrian 2:26.1, her dam is by a Cleveland bay
stallion and her second dam by Niagara, sire of Fair-
mount 2:22$. She is 16.1 hands high, weighs about
1250, and can be driven by anyone as she is absolutely
fearless. A 2:40 clip with two in the buggy is easy for
her.

At a meeting of the Directors of the New England
Trotting Horse Breeders Association held at Boston
last Friday it was decided to offer a purse of $10,000
for trotters eligible to the 2:07 class at th* September
meeting to be held at Readville. It is expected that
this rich purse will attract such trotting cracks as
Lord Derbv2:0tiA, Chain Shot 2:064, Boralma 2:07,
Doliy Dillon 2:07, Peter the Great 2:07], The Monk
2;08}, Eleata 2:08£ and other fast ones.

Stockton will hold a fair and race meeting during
the week immediately following the State Fair. The
Stockton association has received a letter from Presi-
dent Thos. H. Williams, Jr., in which he says that
there will be no racing at the Oakland track to conflict
with the Stockton dates, and the Golden Gate Fair
Association has changed its date of opening to August
83d.

Los Angeles has moved its date forward one week
and will open its meeting October 11th instead of the
4th, as heretofore announced. It will announce a big
program soon with entries to close July 1st. Los An-
geles proposes to hold the greatest meeting in its his-
tory this year, and harness horses will have a chance
to earn big money there before going into winter
quarters.

Sandy Smith arrived at Cleveland last Sunday with
the horses, twenty-fouriu number, from Mr. Spree feels'
Aptos Stock Farm. Every horse was in good shape
and the horsemen who saw them taken from the cars
said they averaged better for looks than any consign-
ment they had seen for a long time. They are being
driven over the famous Glenville track there and will
be ready to show buyers a high rate of speed at the
Blue Ribbon sale which opens next Monday.

Lucille 2:07. and Little Boy 2:01$, will not be seen in
the matinees this season. They will be under the
special care of Scott McCoy, who will get them ready
for some fast miles to sulky, with the view of not only
reducing their present records, but all records for trot-
ters and pacers. On form Little Boy looks to have
the best chance to succeed. Lucille, however, has a
chance. She has as much speed as any trotter that
lives, and a season's preparation such as McCoy will
give her is liable to land her very near the record for
mares.

The catalogue of Senator Jones' Maplewood Farm
at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has been received at
this office. It is a neatly printed pamphlet of 64
pages, containing the pedigrees of the stallions and
broodmares and all the colts and fillies on the farm.
The stallions in service are the Palo Alto bred one3
Idolita2:12 and Betonica 2:10A. Several mares from
Palo Alto are among the Maplewood broodmares and
among the young stallions is Col. Carter, a four year
old by Nutwood Wilkes out of Spry Ruth by Boodle.
This colt is being entered on the Grand Circuit this
year.

The Buffalo Horse World says It is reported there
that Mr. A. H. Miller has sold his famous mare Ga-
zelle 2:11] {dam of Zolock 2:10i and the $0000 Zephyr)
to Mr. J. C. McKinney of Titusville, Pa., for a; long
price. The week previous. Mr. Miller offered Mr. Mc-
Kinney $15,000 for Zephyr who is by Zombro, but the
offer was refused, and if the sale of Gazelle has been
made it is very likely teat she will be bred instead of
raced this year, as was Mr. Miller's intention. Gazelle
is by Gossiper and judging from her two first foals is
destined to be one of the greatest broodmares ever
bred in California.

A very fast colt that is entered in many rich stakes
for three year olds this year was recently purchased
by Hon. William Prince of Providence, R. I., from
the Stevens Stock Farm of that State. His breeding
is just about top notch as he is by Baron Wilkes 2:18,
out of Nelly May by Electioneer, second dam Lady
Ellen 2:29$ (dam of Helena 2:11} and three others) by
Carr's Mambrino. third dam by the thoroughbred
Owen Dale, fourth dam by Williamson's Belmont, fifth
dam by Red Buck. This colt represents the Wilkes-
Electioneer cross combined with the best thoroughbred
strains ever combined with trotting blood on this
Coast.

Last week Grant Lapham gave Mr. S. Christenson's
handsome black trotting mare, Simone by Simmons,
dam Mi Lady by Baron Wilkes, a six heat workout
over the Alameda track. The heats were trotted from
2:35 to 2:22, th^ fastest being the fifth. During the
entire six heats Simone neverlifted her head or offered
to make a break. Her fastest quarter was 34 seconds
at the finish of her fastest mile. Besides being one of
the most fashionably bred mares in California and a
first prize winner in the show ring, Simone has speed
of a high order and will get a record around 2:15 this
vear. barring accidents. Mr. Christenson will enter
her in several races on the California circuit.

JoeGoss, who owns a handsome bay mare by Diablo
2:09], that he has been working at Pleasanton for a
few weeks, was offered $1000 in cash for her last Satur-
day but declined the offer. He drove her a very
handy mile in 2:22 and she looks like :v 2:15 prospect
this year. ' She has a square, open gait, a steady way
of going and a level head, and would make one of the
molt attractive of roadsters. If I remember rightly
she is six years old. Ber l^gs and feet are perfect.
Few are better bred than Carrie M as Mr. Goss calls
her. By the great Diablo, first-dam by Alaska, son of
Electioneer, second dam by May Boy. sun of Whipples
Hambletoniac third dam by a son of Lodi, the well
known loner distance thoroughbred. No one finds
fault with <hiss for refusing a thousand ;,plunks*' for
this handsome and fast piece of b
worth more money.

The Butchers' Board of Trade will hold its ninth
annual celebration on May 21st at Oakland racetrack.
A big program of racing is being arranged and there
is certain to be an enormous crowd. The harness
races free to all whether the owners are members of
the organization or not, are two in number. The first
is free to all trotters and pacers; winner of first heat
will be awarded $50 and go to stable: winner of second
beat 830, second horse in this heat $20. No distance
flag. The other race is a two mile dash for trotters
and pacers: $50 to first, £30 to second and $20 to third.
There will be running races, vaquero races and other
races in addition. A $100 gate prize will be given.

i

Whisper, the dam of Zombro 2:11, foaled a very
handsome brown filly by Stam B. 2:11] last Monday
morning, which is just what her owner, Geo. Beckers,
wanted, as the old mare is twenty-one years old and
cannot be expected to produce so very many more
before passing to the horse heaven. Mr. Beckers now
owns two fillies from her by Stam B. and says that as
soon as they are old enough he intends breeding them
to McKinney 2:11}, sire o: Zombro, and the cross
should be a great one.

A comparison of prices paid for certain ones of the

Adbell family during the past three years shows some
remarkable increase in value. Adbell himself was
taken East from Palo Alto in the spring of 1898,
when the late F. E. Spier purchased him for $3000. and
last fall, when he went through the Garden for the
second time in his life, he commanded $10,000. At
Cleveland, in 1900, his daughter, To Arms, was sold
for $875, and two weeks later J. H. Sbults bad to bid
$2300 to get her. Last November another daughter.
Fruition, was knocked down for SS25. and recently
was sold in the same ring for $1450. Since November
last Adbell and twenty-seven of his produce brought
an aggregate of 325.000, making an average of S^T". for
the lot.

Mr. M. H. Murphy, formerly of San Bernardino
but now Superintendent of the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Coal Company, with headquarters at Tesla,
has bred his sreat broodmare Nelly Bly (dam of Barry
Madison 2:27J. trial 2:16J, and Julia M., trial 2:134) to
Zombro. Julia M. was sold to Willard Stimson by
Mr. Murphy and the former has consigned ber to the
Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland, which opens next week.
She worked a mile in 2:134 very handily at Los Angeles
before being shipped and as she is by Zombro, Mr.
Murphy wisely concluded tbat the best way to get
another like her was to breed Nelly Bly back again.
His two year old by Zombro out of Sallie Benton (dam
of Ellen Madison 2:12}) stepped two different half miles
in 1:18 last Thursday, at Los Angeles. He is entered
in several Eastern futurities and is a great young
trotter right now.

Geo. Beckers, the enterprising owner of that great
stullioo, Zombro 2:11, writes us under date of May 6th,
that while there may be many horsemen in this part
of the State who believe they have very fast two year
olds by Stam B., that he owns one by that great son
of Stamboul which he believes can make any of them
take second place, -and that it is not all talk either.
Mr. Beckers says he wants to call the turn on the Occi-
dent Stake for this year and next. He believes it will
be won this year Dy a Zombro three year old. and that
his Stam B. will win it next year. Allowing for all
the enthusiasm and bias which accompanies owner-
ship, we think Mr. Beckers is about correct in his
estimation of Zombro and Stam B. as producing sires.
Their reputations will grow with every year and while
their get are held at high prices now, these prices will
average much more with every succeeding year.

Under date of May 6th, Mr. E. D. Dudley, of Dixon,
Cal., writesthe Breeder and Sportsman as follows:
"On May oth. my chestnut mare Babe by Dawnlight
(dam Bee by Sterling, second dam Flash by Egmont),
foaled a fine, dark bay or brown with star, filly foal,
by Captain Jones, the black son of McKinney. The
filly is as nice a looker as one could wish, and is nom-
inated in the Breeders Futurity stake. I claim for
this filly the name Ima Jones. By the way. my four
year old gelding Allendale, which won the buggy race
here May 1st, will soon, barring an accident, be in the
last and will be Bee's second colt to enter the charmed
circle. She also being the dam of Frank Ruhstaller's
good horse Monroe B. She has a two year old filly
here by Bayswater Wilkes that with thirty-five days'
work, worked out a half in 1:18 and the last quarter
handilv in 36 seconds.

Primrose by Sidney 2:19^. the dam of the handsome
San Jose stallion Scott McKinney. has a very hand-
some colt by her side by Owyhee 2:11. Mr. Scott, as
well as the many horsemen who have seen the colt,
are all of the same opinion, that the colt could not be
improved upon. Primrose was a very fast mare her-
self, but got hurt running with her first colt so she
could not stand training. Royal Sid, her first colt,
Mr. Scott refused $2,500 for when he was two years old.
The first time he was hitched to a heavy bike he went
a mile in 2:34, and as a three year old took a record of
2:241. which was not the limit of his speed. Another
of her colts as a four year old worked a mile in 2:1"*
and could brush a two minutegait. Primrose has been
bred to Alcyo 2:10, that is now fifteen years old and
not in training condition, but going quarters in 30.1
seconds, showing he has his old time speed. From the
result of this union a two minute pacer is looked for.

Mr. T. A. Carrol, the horseshoer of San Jose, i> the
happy owner of a very fine colt by Scott McKinney,
son of that great race horse and sire, McKinney 2:111.
Mr. Carrol says he went out to the pasture when the
colt was eight days old and t':e mare started and ran
across the large field. The colt struck a pace and kept
alongside his dam the entire distance. It was such a
prettv sight to him and the colt pleased him so much
that he has bred her back to the same horse. Five
mares have foaled to Scott McKinney thus far and all
the owners are so pleased with them that the mares
have been sont to bira again. This is quite a recom-
mendation for so young a horse, as Scott McKinney is
ir years old. He showed ^r>'^t *peed as a two
vear old and thio year Mr. Scott, his owner, i- having
Chas. Durfoe work him with the idea of racing him at
the San Jose meeting in July, so that he ma;
record.

OVER $6000 AT WOODLAND.

Good Program for Harness Races --Entries to
Close July ist.

District No. 40, which now comprises the counties of
Sacramento and Yolo, will hold Us annual fair and
race meeting at Woodland this year during the first
week iu September, and Secretary C. F. Thomas has
just issued the program of the harness events, for
which over $6000 will be given. There are five pur.ses
for trotters and five for pacers as follows:

Trotting— 2:30 class $750, 2:10 class $600, 2:14 class
$600, 2:10 class $600, three year olds $400.

Pacing— 2:25 class $750, 2:19 class $b'00; 2:15 class $600,
2:12 class $600, free for all $600.

There is no place on the circuit where the horsemen
are accorded better treatment than at Woodland.
They find there good stalls, excellent feed, a first class
track and a force of obliging officials, while the associ-
ation keeps every promise made. The meeting always
immediately precedes the State Fair and as Woodland
is less than twenty miles distant from the State Capital,
horses can be roaded across the excellent highways
instead of being taken on the cars if the owners so
wish. Every year Woodland secures a large entry list
to its purses and we believe the association will come
near breaking the record this season. Due notice will
be given through these columns of the conditions, etc.
The date of closing will be July Jst.

Over $2000 Up Before a Colt Has Been Entered.

The special Harness Stallion Stake, inaugurated bj
the California State Agricultural Society, and whicl
closed May 1st, had 38 stallions nominated. Whih
the stallion owners of this Coast have failed in maDj
instances to see the benefit of nominating their stalliotn
and thereby making the get eligible, there have beet
enough progressive and far seeing breeders to make
the stake a success. Breeders who have not yet
selected a Stallion to breed their mares to this year ml
doubtless take those entered in this stake into consid
eration, as it is reasonable to suppose that the same
stallions will be entered next year when this stake is
renewed. There has been a total of $1140 paid in to the
stake in nomination fees by owners, to which the State
Agricultural Society adds $1000, making a total of
$2140 already in the stake— quite a respectable sura,
The list of owners, names of stallions and amount of
nominating fees of each are as follows. The stake is
to be trotted in 1005, when the foals are three years old:

Last week Mr. .-. B. Tverson, of Salinas, met a
severe loss in the death of nis well known great brood-
mare, Salinas Belle, dam of the consistent and game
little campaigner Dictatress 2:12] , Ivolo 2:20}, Ivoneer
(3) 2:27. Monteer 2:30 and Mambrino Boy 2:3l|
Salinas Belle was a pacing mare and was twenty-four
years old this spring. She was sired by Vermont 322,
a erandson of Black Hawk 5, brought to this State
many years ago. The dam of Salinas Belle was a fine
black mare by the thoroughbred horse Owen Dale,
son of Williamson's Belmont, whose blood is conspicu-
ous in the pedigrees of so many fast California horses.
Salinas Belle was due to foal in June to Mr. Carrs
Boodle Jr., one of the grandest looking young stallions
in California. She was found helpless in the pasture.
No cause could be ascertained for her illness

Anothe r noted mare that died last week was Mr. W.
L. Lumsden's mare Myrtle 2:13.} by Anteeo out of
Luella B. by Nutwood. Myrtle was bred by the late
I. DeTurk, of Santa Rosa, and was the sensational
three year old of 1801 in California, winning the rich
Occident Stake that year, in which she defeated Vida
Wilkes, the favorite. Myrtle was trained by William
McGraw and before the first heat the pools were Vida
Wilkes $30, Myrtle $13. but after the Anteeo mare had
won the first beat hands down in 2:10.1, it was hard to
get a bid for a Vida Wilkes pool. At the death of
Mr. DeTurk Myrtle passed into the possession of Mr.
Lumsden, of Santa Ro?a, who took her out of the
broodmare paddocks in 1809 and started her once— in
the 2:19 class at the Santa Rosa meeting. She won
the first heat in 2:13$, thus reducing her record six
seconds, and got second money in the race, which was
won by Addison 2:1]}. -Myrtle was bred to I!onnie
Direct 2:05:[ last year and died soon after foaling a fine
filly by him. The filly was alive and doing well at last
reports. Mr. Lumsden has lost a great mare, but he
should have a greater in the filly left by her.

LOS ANGELES FIESTA MATINEE.

Sweet Marie by McKinney Wins a Third Heat
in 2:11 3-4.

Honored by the presence of the largest crowd that
ever attended a race meeting: in Los Angeles and pre-
senting a program of which any professional meeting
might well be proud, the Driving Club achieved a
marked success in its Fiesta race matinee at Agricul-
tural Park last Saturday, says the Los Angeles limes.
Aside from the day being notable on account of the
record breaking crowd of 10,000, Sweet Marie, the
beautiful bay mare belonging to William Garland,
which held the State matinee race mile record of 2:13},
brought more honors to herself, her owner and the
club by easily trotting the third heat of the free for all
race in 2:11^.

The track was in excellent condition and generally
considered the day was ideal, although fitful gusts of
wind puffed across the track at times, raising tiny
clouds of dust. Whatever inconvenience this may
have caused had little effect on the audience, for the
whole was all that could be desired.

Every nook and corner of the big grand stand was
fall of spectators, and a huodred boys and men were
in the balcony on top of it. The small grand stand,
farther south, was also full, and along the fence that
stretched between the two the lines of men were three
deep. North of the grand stand was another triple
line of spectators to the track entrance gate by the
clubhouse, and stretching beyond that north to the
three-quarter pole were carriages, buggies, and all
manner of vehicles, filled with people, all drawn up
facing the track.

On the inner rail of the track a double line of
vehicles with their occupants, extended from the
83ven-eighths pole down past the judge's stand to a
point opposite the southern entrance to the track.
All the available spaces where any sort of a view of
the races could be had, was a solid mass of people,
altogether the largest crowd that ever witnessed any
local racing event.

Thousands of Fiesta visitors were there, in addition
to the crowd of regular race-goers, and over half of
\he vast crowd was made up of women, society being
out in force. It was a regular Fiesta crowd, and in
nonor of the event the club officials had prepared a
program that was well worthy of the occasion. Each
part of it was a success in itself.

The parade of the horses and vehicles of the mem-
bers was a complete success, nearly one hundred and
seventy-five rigs being in the procession. Excellent
sport followed the review. A program of three events
had been arranged, and the card was marked by the
breaking of a Coast record and the most hotly con-
tested race in the history of the club. It was a Fiesta
number, and almost as "warm" as the special score
card in red, orange and green, which was a work of
art.

The track was in fine condition for fast work, and
in the free-for all, the first race on the card, the club's
speediest did battle. In this event almost two seconds
were clipped off the Coast matinee record, Sweet Marie
covering the third mile in 2:113. breaking her own
record of 2:13J, made on the local track last year.

The free-for-all brought out Sweet Marie, Primrose,
Cceur de Lion and Sweetheart, and it took six heats to
decide. William Garland's speedy bay mare, Sweet
Marie, finally landed the plum, after a long and excit-
ing battle with F. B Taylor's Primrose. Before the
raoe the judges decided Primrose was a little too
speedy for the bunch, and gave her forty-five pounds
additional to carry.

In the first heat she quite justified their judgment
by walking home in 2:21, with Coeur de Lion a bad
second. Sweet Marie Droke shortly after the word
was given, and was unable to recover the ground lost.
She had to be content with third place.

The second heat also went to Primrose, Sweetheart
giving the favorite the brush. A. W. Bruner drove
her out, but she was too slow to land. Sweet Marie
again steamed into third place.

The surprise came in the third heat, when Sweet
Marie seemed to find herself. Right from the start
she went after the favorite, and at the quarter was
, less than a length behind Primrose, who went to the
pole in 34 seconds. In the back stretch she let out an-
other link, and at the half headed the favorite by a
neck. She continued to pull away, and at the three-
quarters had a length to the good. As they entered
the stretch it was Sweet Marie, Primrose, Cceur de
Lion and Sweetheart. Between the leaders it was
, neck and neck to the wire, Sweet Marie having none
1 too much the best of it to be comfortable. Sweetheart
! passed Cceur de Lion in the stretch, taking third place.
The time was 2:11^.

They got away for a good start in the fourth heat,
and again it was Sweet Marie and Primrose to the
front, withj Sweetheart and Cceur de Lion close up.

At the half Sweet Marie had two lengths to the good
over Primrose, who was on almost even terms with
Oi'iir de Lion and Sweetheart. As they swung into
the stretch Sweetheart went off her feet and was passed
by Cceur de Lion, who was sent after the leader, but
the lead was too good. He landed in second place,
however, beating Primrose at the wire.

Coeur de Lion had his fun in the fifth heat, H. G.
Bundrem driving the bay to victory in 2:18A. At the
start he took the pole from Sweet Marie, and at the
half had the race won. Primrose went off her feet
before the quarter, and was quite out of it, the race
being for place between Sweet Marie and Sweetheart,
the former taking it by a good length.

A whipping finish ended the sixth heat and race,
Sweet Marie just reaching the wire a half length to
the good over Primrose, when she went up in the air.
Coeur de Lion was a bad actor at the start, making a
break on the south turn that put him out of the reck-
oning. This left the battle to Sweet Marie and Prim-
rose, and it was either's race to the wire. Cceur de
Lion was a bad third and Sweetheart steamed into
fourth place.

Polo surprised even her admirers by the wav she
landed the prize in the second race. She did it in two
heats in three from a field in which Medico, Alies,
Tom Moore, Parazzo and Bastina were entered.

She had it all her own way in the first heat, beating
Medico by two lengths. Alies landed third. The
second heat went to Medico, who out-footed the little
bay in the stretch, but it was a close affair, and was
traveled in 2:23. Again Alies landed third.

The race was won in the third heat when Polo beat
Medico to the wire, having a length or more to spare.
Tom Moore took third.

Russwood was too speedy for Cocoanut and Tough-
jut, who tried to beat him to the wire in two heats of
the third and last event. It took him but two beats
to show his superiority, and each he won with plenty
to spare. Cocoanut took second.

Portero, the pride stallion of \V. B. Prentiss' stable
at San Diego, was driven an exhibition quarter by Mr.
Prentiss. He covered the distance in 0:35.

The Drafter in Demand.

News From the North.

[Portland Kara! s,

J.A.Jones, of Springbrook, says all four of the

mares he bred to Zombro last, year are in foal.

A. P. Church, of San Jose, Cal , has located at Irv
ington track, where he has opened a shoeing stable
for track work. Mr. Church brings with him a good
reputation in this line of work.

Everett. Wash, is advertising two early closing
stakes, 8o00 for 2:25 pacers and $fi(l0 for 2:40 trotters,
entries to close June 2d. Everett has dates on the
North Pacific circuit.

The track at Irvington is now in frood condition and
will be kept so througbou't the training season. Quite
a number of horses will be worked there this summer,
which will give the place an old time appearance.

James Erwin is working Starkey at Pendleton and
p/oing eighths in 17 seconds easy. He also is getting
Ollie M. and Oregon Sunshine in prime condition, and
also a three year old pacer by Chehalis and Easter
Annie (2) by Westfield.

Frank Frazier is driving Hassalo on the road at
Pendleton and goes out to the track frequently and
gives the boys a brush. Hassalo has had no training
whatever since last year, but he pulled a pneumatic
tired buggy an eighth under 17 seconds.

The Riverside Driving Club, of Portland, held a
reeular meeting in the Rural .Spirit office last Friday
evening, and took up the matter of holding regular
matinee meetings throughout the season. It was the
unanimous opinion of those present that meetings of
this kind would be a great stimulus to the driving
interest. Tho Board of Directors were instructed to
make all necessary arrangements for holding the first
meeting Saturday, June 14th.

An association has been organized at Wasco, Or.,
with G. N. Crosfield President; John Medler, Vice-
President; R. G. Case, Secretary and Treasurer, for
the purpose of holding a horse fair at that place July
4th and oth. The association has 150 members, which
they expect to increase to 250 in a short time. Cash
premiums in the sum of $500 will be given at this fair,
and all classes of horses will be provided for. J. G.
Medler, Frank Hulery and W. E. Hines are a com-
mittee on arrangements, and they are leaving nothing
undone to make the fair a success.

The drafter continues to increase in popular favor.
All the best authorities agree that the heavy work
horse never brought as much money as he is bringing
now and further that the demand for all sorts of him
never was so broad. The fact is, that despite the
absence of much of an exporting demand for weighty
drafters the supply is all too small and the bidders
each week at almost all of the leading horse marts
have to hang on a little longer in the hopes of getting
enough the following week to fill out their loads. In
a few of these marts drafters are no longer coming in
appreciable numbers. Most of the supply seems to be
concentrated in Chicago and surely the supply is small
enough there from week to week. Indianapolis was
wont in times gone by to get a fair share of this trade,
but of late only a very few really heavy horses have
been shipped there. Kansas City has marked up her
prices a good $25 per head, but some days not an 1800-
pound horse reaches her yards. South Omaha,
situated midway between districts in Nebraska and
Iowa where many good heavyweights have been pro-
duced, reports continually decreasing arrivals, indeed
some days not one is reported. Naturally this scarcity
overall has stimulated the demand for the medium
weights and horses of from 1550 to 1700 pounds are
bringing much more money than they were some weeks
or months ago, but it should always be borne in mind
that conditions as to price of feed and the status of
commerce are abnormal and these middle weight sorts
will be the first to lose in value, no matter what hap-
pens, when the drop comes. It is easier to rear a
horse that weighs 1550, 1600 or even 1700 pounds than
one that weighs 1800 pounds, and when the former are
commanding prices around $175 to $200 or even over
there is temptation for the breeder to relax his efforts
to breed the real big fellows, but this should not be
done. Nothing short of a commercial cataclysm of a
sort the world has never before seen will put the price
of heavy drafters below the profitable point for many
years to come. Indeed, it is extremely doubtful if we
will ever again see that kind selling low. Keep on try-
ing to breed the big ones; undersized lots will show up
in spite of all that can be done. There is room, seem-
ingly, everywhere at present, but it will not always he
that way. Breed the kind for which the demand will
always be keen and price high. — Breeders* Gazette.

Post Check Money.

A new system of currency has been invented which
has many meritorious features. It is proposed to
reprint all $1, $2 and $5 Treasury not3s, coin or silver
certificates now in circulation and have the faces of
the new bills provided with blank lines. This would
be the ordinary money of the day. Then when one
wishes to send money by mail, say $2, he takes such a
bill from his pocketbook, writes on its face the name
of the person or firm to whom it is to go, the city and
State, and affixes a two-cent stamp in the square indi-
cated (one-cent stamp for fractional bills* cancelling
the stamp with his initials and date and signs his name
on back. The bill, which previously was negotiable
money, is instantly transformed into a personal check
on the United States Government for $2, as safe for
transmission as any bank check. This is enclosed in a
letter to the person or firm desired and can be collected
by the receiver upon identification at the postoffice
named.

The tiresome and time-consuming trip to the post-
office to secure a money order is avoided and a conve-
nient, safe and instantly available form of safe money
is supplied with which the public can transact mail
business which now aggregates in small sums upwards
of two billions dollars a year. The small fee charged
would probably aggregate a larger revenue to the
Government than is received from the present money
order system.

The New Haven Register says: "This scheme would
be of vast advantage to our rural communities. It
would also tend to increase rural free delivery, a sub-
ject of much interest to the Postoffice Department and
the country at large. It would do away with tho
nuisance of sending and receiving stamps instead of
money. Business houses during the year receive large
amounts of stamps. One large Chicago publisher re-
ports the receipt of upwards of $350,000 in stamps in
one year, nearly $1000 per day. Others have the same
experience on a smaller scale. One thing is certain,
the bill would stop stealing in the mails. The thief
could not collect one of these post checks for he has
to be identified when he presents the bill for payment.
The Postoffice Department officials havealready rec-
ognized the advantage of this new system and aie
heartily in favor of it. If the people throughout the
country demand this convenience, Congress will not
refuse it."

Balsam by applying it once or twice per day with my linger: did
not rub it to create any friction. I kept this up for two or three
weeks when it became loose and i took hold of it with my flDgers

treated the slow classes generously. The Breeders
offer $2000 for 2:24 class trotters and S1000 for 2:20
class pacers. Nana gives $800 for the 2:4<i trotters,
$700 for the 2:30 trotters, $000 for the 2:24 trotters and
$500 each for the green and the 2:25 class pacers.
Woodland offers $750 for the 2:30 class trotters and the
same amount for 2:25 class pacers. These purses are
a pretty good starter for a circuit and the horse that
can win at these three meetings in his class will not
owe his owner anything for training expenses.

TpHE BLUE RIBBON SALE will open at Cleveland
1 next Monday and much interest is taken among
California horsemen as to the prices the consignments
from Palo Alto, Aptos Farm. Santa Rosa Stock Farm
and other California breeders will bring. Some of the
best horses ever bred in this State are to be sold and
the prices should be a good guide to the condition of
the market.

nTHE MAIN CIRCUIT, comprising those assoeia-
1 tions in California that give purses larger than
$500, promises to be larger this year than ever. Napa,
Vallejo, Oakland, Woodland, the State Fair, Stockton,
Breeders meeting at Fresno, Bakersfield and Los
Angeles will all be in this class, and thus there will
be ten weeks of racing on this circuit. In addition
there will be two or three smaller circuits where the
purses range from $150 to $500. Harness horses will
have many opportunities to earn money in this State
this season.

NAPA'S PROGRAM appears in our advertising
columns this week and is a most generous one.
The speed committee and Secretary Bell have made
an admirable selection of classes, and every purse
should fill. All horsemen know the Napa track It
is fast and safe and located in one of the most beauti-
ful spots in California and in an ideal climate. Napa
always pays its purses promptly, and every attention
is shown the horsemen. This year there will he no
bookmaking permitted on harness races, and no run-
ning events on the days when the harness races are
held. If the program fills there will be four days de-
voted to trotting and pacing races, during which time
nearly $7000 will be distributed in purses. A program
like this is what the harness horse owners and trainers
have been demanding for years. Napa has provided
it for them and they should respond with the entries
and Lelp make it a big success. It will be the first
important meeting of the main circuit this year, and
entries will close June 2d.

AN ENTERPRISING ASSOCIATION istheContra
Costa District Agricultural Society, and their
action in purchasing seventy acres of land adjoining
the town of Concord for a fair ground and race track
meets the general approval of the entire district.
There were two bids for the coveted location of the
grounds. Walnut Creek bid $1700, but Concord's bid
was $2S50. The citizens of Martinez stood in with
Concord and will assist with a generous money contri-
bution to the fund, as the following letter will show:

gj — Dear Sir: We, the committee appointed by the
Directors of the Agricultural Society to ascertain what
financial aid the town of Martinez would give towards
moving the fair grounds to this town, beg to report
that the people of Martinez have learned with pleasure
that the citizens of Concord have very generously
come to the front and promised such substantial aid
towards building up the Fair Association, that the
citizens of Martinez have concluded that Concord is
entitled to the Fair grounds; and this committee will
endeavor to secure substantial financial aid from this
town for the purpose of helping the enterprise along.

Committee.

It is proposed by the association to expend about
$10,000 for the grounds and buildings and making the
track, and if possible they desire to pay the entire
amount this year and be out of debt when the fair is
over. It is a most commendable undertaking and
every citizen of Contra Costa county should help the
enterprise as far as he can. The location selected is
very central, on an excellent piece of land, and can be
made a most attractive spot.

petition were: From II. C. Jewett& i'n's Slock Farm,?
Almont Lightning: from C. J. Hamlin's Village Stock
Farm, Mauibrioo King, claimed by many to be the
handsomest horse in America, also winner of the first
premium at the New York State Fair this year: from
Yeoman's Stock Farm, Mohican by Rysdyk's Ham-
bletonian.

As it is a well known fact that a spirited but friendly
rivalry exists between these farms, which is shared
to a certain extent by the people in this vicinity, the
greatest interest was manifested to know the result.

The appearance of Mamhrino King as he was led
upon the track in front of the grand stand was greeted
with a burst of applause from his friends, but which
subsided when Almont Lightning, seen now for the
first time by a great many, came on directly afterward.
Mohican also made a fine appearance and was the
object of much favorable comment. It was a very
fine point to decide between the first two mentioned,
as they were led along side by side in front of the
stand, but when Almont Lighining was harnessed to
a sulky he made such a really grand appearance and
showed a 2:30 gait so easily, carrying the large amount
of flesh that be did, that the result was foreseen by all.
The judge who was selected — a well known Canadian
gentleman and horseman of large experience — gave hia
decision in favor of Almont Lightning, with Mambrino
King second and Mohican third.

Almont Lightning 1023, the winner, is a handsome
bay horse, with black points and a Btar in his fore-
head. Be was foaled in 1875, is sixteen bands high,
was sired by Almont 33, son of Alexander's Abdallah
15, sire of Goldsmith Maid 2:14: fiist dam Molly Bow-
man by Mambrino Pilot 29. second dam by Mambrino
Chief 11, third dam Old Flaxey by Telegraph. He
was purchased from W. T. Withers, Lexington, Ky.,
in July, by the Messrs. Jewett, and brought to thi9
place. He now contests the honor with Mambrino
King of being the handsomest horse in America, being
considered by competent judges the equal in beauty,,
with the advantage of a superb trotting gait, greater
size and strength, and presumably having greater
powers of endurance than his famous rival.

Whisper, the dam of Zombro, and Belle Medium,
dam of Stam B., are among the beauties of the famous
broodmares of California, the one a daughter, the
other a granddaughter of this handsome stallion, who
must have been an equine Adonis to defeat Mambrino
King, that was then known and for fifteen years after-
wards was advertised as the handsomest horse in
America. There is nothing truer than the old saying,
'•Like begets like or the likeness of some ancestor."

THERE IS GOOD MONEY THIS YEAR for the
slow classes in California. Three associations
have announced their programs thus far and all have

GOOD LOOKS, one of the most valuable qualifica-
tions a trotting-bred horse can possess, and
which brings more money in the aggregate than speed
does in the salesring, is transmitted by inheritance
with as much certainty as any trait or characteristic.
It has often been remarked by horsemen in California
that Zombro 2:11 and Stam B. 2:11J are two of the
handsomest of all the young stallions in the State, and
that while by different sires, those sires (McKinney
and Stamboul) were frequent prize winners in the
show ring over large fields of competitors. There are
many, however, who have overlooked the fact that on
the side of their dams, Zombro and Stam B. carry the
blood close up of a very handsome stallion, Almont
Lightning, the dam of Zombro and Stam B.'s gran-
dam being by that son of another handsome horse,
Almont 33. It is not generally known in this State
that Almont Lightning, when taken from Kentucky
to New York, defeated the great Mambrino King in
the show rirg, but such is the fact. A correspondent
recently sent us the following, copied from a New York
paper, the date of which does not appear on the copy,
but which was probably 1884 or 1885, as we understand
Almont Lightning died when about ten years old, and
he was foaled in 1875. The article is headed "Almont
Lightning vs. Mambrino King," and is as follows:

On Friday. October 5th, the third day of the Union
Fair of East Aurora, the largest crowd that had been
seen on the grounds this year was present. The great
attraction of the day, and which a large number came
expressly to see, was the exhibition of Class 7 — trotting
stallions with pedigree. The horses entered for com-

Horse vs. Camera.

"Now, an auto," said the roadside photographer*
"is easy, for it stands still. But it's different with a
horse.

"To get a good picture of ahorse you've got to fix
his attention and interest him as you would a child.
The dullest and laziest of horses may not stand still,
or he may slouch into some unhandsome attitude, so
that he won't look very pretty when you do get him.

"The spirited, lively horse finds it hard to stand still
at all. He's bobbing his head or moving somehow all
the time, so that he's hard to get, and then the finest
horse looks better in some attitudes than he does in
others. It is a common thing for the photographer
who takes pictures of the turnouts of people driving,
to have somebody interest the horse, to get him at
once quiet and into a good attitude while he takes the
picture.

"The picture taker having his camera conveniently
located, the man who is to have his outfit taken drives
into position and halts. The photographer, all ready
for taking the picture and waiting now ODly for the
horse to stand still and to look well, calls to his assist-
ant, who, standing in front of tne horse and ten or
twenty feet away, attracts the animal's attention.

"Sometimes he has a little rattle for this purpose;
sometimes he holds up a bunch of grass. It might be !
that he would wave a handkerchief gently, at the -
same time calling to the horse. Then you see things •
happen.

"Even though he was a handsome horse anyway he
looks more so than ever in that first look at the man
who has attracted his attention. It may be that he's
just a bit startled, and he stands there perfectly etect,
head up and all attention, ears thrown forward, a keen
alertness in every line, a most spirited figure of a ■
horse, and for the moment motionless, and in that
nappy moment you get him." — Exchange.

May Day Races at Dixon.

DIXON, May n. W02.
Editor Biikedkr and Sportsman— The directors
of. the Dixon Driving Park Association were fortunate
this year in having a fine day, the first of May, on
which to hold their picnic and races. The weather
was perfect and a large crowd in attendance. The
races were called at one o'clock sharp with Joe Stad-
feldt of Vacaville acting presiding judge, ably assisted
by John Hale of Suisun and C. C Donohoe of Dixon.
Timers — Ham Boyce of Winters and Mr. Casey of
Sacramento.

For the named buggy horse race, for a purse of $75,
mile heats, three in five, the following horses, all by
Falrose. lined up as named.

Dixon Maid, b m, W. Masten, driver; Allendale, b g,
Sam Hoy, driver; Shanghai, b g. C. Day, driver; Bell-
rose, b m, Q. Scwisher, driver; Falrose, b g, R. H.
Nason, driver.

After several attempts the horses got away in good
shape. Dixon Maid and Allendale leading. Round the
first turn Allendale broke and gave the Maid quite a
lead, but got his stride again and soon overtook the
mare and beat her out at the finish by a short neck in
2:35. For the second heat only four started. Falrose
having been withdrawn. Allendale took the lead at
the fail of the flag, which he maintained quite easily,
though followed closely by Dixon Maid, to the finish.
Time. 2:34. Bellrose and Shanghai distanced.

The third and last heat was won handily by Alien,
dale in 2:341, trailed closely by Dixon Maid.

Both of these horses can easily enter the list as they
have had but little work, neither of them having had
two months prep. The track here is a half mile and
in poor condition for fast time.

For the second race, for a purse of $100, for two
year olds, pacers or trotters, one-half mile heats, three
in five, the following colts started:

Donalicia, blk f by Don Marvin, C. Day, driver;
Dart, blk g by Hector, D. Bigelow, driver; The Giggler,
blk g by Bayswater Wilkes, H. Giddings, driver;
Lorna Doon, dun f by Bayswater Wilkes, Sam Hoy,
driver.

After several attempts the colts got away scattering,
Lorna Doon acting badly. The Giggler soon assumed
the lead, which he maintained easily to the wire in
1:23, followed by Dart, Donalicia and Lorna Doon away
back.

The second heat was won handily by The Giggler in
1:23, Dart second and Lorna Doon third.

The third heat was the prettiest in the race, Bige-
low, with Dart, caught the veteran Hank Giddings
with The Giggler napping in the stretch, and forced
him out in 1:20 to win. A creditable performance for
two year olds at this season over a slow half mile track.
For the three year old race, for trotters or pacers,
for a purse of $100, mile heats, three in five, the fol-
lowing started :

Donwater, dun g hy Bayswater Wilkes, W. Hoy,
driver; Glenrose, b g by Falrose, R. H. Nason, driver;
b g by Falrose, E. Holling, driver

Donwater took the lead at the fall of the flag and
maintained it to the wire in 2:42.

The second heat was won by Donwater in 2:37,
closely followed by Glenrose, as was also the third in
2:55. In the above race Donwater was ably driven by
Will Hoy, eldest son of Sam Hoy. This was Will s
first mount and he distinguished himself a veritable
"chip of the old block."

The win of the two Bayswater Wilkes colts here
show that ere long Kelly Briggs 2:10J will need look
to his laurels and stamps Hoy's horse a rare good one
for his opportunities in the stud. Reube.

To Cure Forging.

To treat successfully the habit of forging or clicking
it is necessary that the farrier should know first the
gait at which clicking occurs, and the proportions and
Btructure, or build, of the horse. The feet are then to
be examined, and the part of the shoe struck by cliek-
lngs marked. A skillful farrier will then be able to
determine the causes and the remedies for each.

If the horse hits the heel of the front foot, clip off
the heel of the shoe on the angle of the foot on the
ground surface. If he hits on the inside web at the
toe, take the weight from quarter to heel. If he hits
on the outer quarter, put the drop crease on the out-
side. If he hits on the inside web of shoe, concave the
shoe on the ground surface at the point touched. If
the head is low, check up so as to lighten the front
part: if too high check down with standing martin-
gales to add weight. If the breast collar is too low on
the point of shoulders raise it up. If the propelling
power behind is too great for the front part, shoe with
a five ounce shoe heavier behind than in front. If he
forges at a certain gait drive over or under that gait.
If the horse be a "dweller" with his front feet put on
a double rolling motion shoe highest at the quarters,
gradually thinning the shoe from quarters to toe, then
from quarters to heel. The effect of such a shoe will
be to quicken his action in front.

The shoes designed for the hind feet should in all
cases project well back at the heels, having good long
heel calkins. The driver or larrier should be able to
judge of the weight of shoes to be used. I have used
four-calkin hind shoes in many- cases with the best of
results.— From Russell, on Scientific Bora Shoring.

Matinee Racing at Sacramento.

The Driving Club at tho capital held a matinee on
Friday of last week that furnished great sport for
several hundred people who were in attendance There
were five races originally on the card, but Mr. John
Batcher's now celebrated horse Captain Hackett
showed up lame after breaking his own record the
week previous and the race in which he was to appear
was declared off. There was a hot tip out that the
track record would likely be changed in the first race
if Mayor Clark's recent Eastern importation got off
just right, but he didn't, and Monroe B. beat him a
neck in 2:20!J, owing, it is asserted, to the Mayor drop-
ping his whip.

The judges were Homer O. Buckman, W. Sayers
and D. Flint: the timers were Irving H. Mc.Mullen and
L S. Dpson and the starter S. Hoy.

The RecordrUnion-s turf writer describes the races
as follows:

In the first race the entries were Mayor Clark's Fred
Ames, W. O. Bowers' Silver Bee, F. Ruhstaller, Jr.'s
Monroe B. and F. E. Wright's Baby Button. They
were all driven by owners except Silver Bee, whose
driver was Harris. Silver Bee broke badly shortly
after leaving the wire, and he trailed the field the rest
of the way, trotting very fast later on, however, and
doing the last half in 1 :0S. Monroe B. and Fred Ames
went together around the back stretch and turn, and
on the homestretch Monroe B. challenged the swift
pacer and a very pretty race ensued. When half way
down Mayor Clark reached for his whip and fumbled
it, and the mishap was fatal, Monroe B. drawing ahead
and passing under the wire a neck ahead. Baby
Button was a close third, and Silver Bee, which had
gained rapidly, came in a good fourth. Time, 2:20^.
Ruhstaller was much complimented on his driving.

The second race was between George H. Clark's
Queen of Bavaria, C. W.Paine's Pioand Daniel Flint's
Rainbow, with owners driving. Pio broke after leav-
ing the score and crowded the Queen over in front of
Rainbow. He tore off a boot and cut himself on the
quarter, and in consequence finished third. Rainbow
came down the stretch ahead of the Queen and finished
two lengths in front. Time, 2:291.

The third was a double team race between Albert
Elkus' Zulene and Rose Elkus and William Triest's
Candy Joe and Toots. Charles Silvey drove Elkus'
team, which was disposed to break. The blacks broke
shortly after the start and Elkus' sorrels forged ahead,
trotting well. On the far stretch both teams took up
the running and hung together, the Elkus team a
little ahead. Up the turn they came, still on a run,
and down the stretch they were still in an easy gallop,
with Elkus' team ahead. Just before they reached
the wire they dropped into a trot and won by a couple
of lengths, amid much applause. Time, 2:42}. Toots
had a boot torn off and her quarter cut, and practically
pulled up near the wire.

The fourth race was declared off, John Batcher's
Captain Hackett having gone lame.

The fifth race was between William Harris' Central
Boy, John Morrison's Cariny Scot and Daniel Flint's
Arrow.

They got a good send-off and Canny Scot forged
ahead, but near the half they were all together.
Canny Scot broke and dropped back. There was a
smart brush down the stretch, Arrow ahead, with
Canny Scot closing up the gap fast, but he was too
late, and Arrow passed under the wire two lengths
ahead of Central Boy, Canny Scot third. Time, 2:44.1.

Horse News from Humboldt.

ROHNERVILLE, May •".. 1902.

Ed. Brekdkr ami Sportsman: I have been a
reader of the Breeder and Sportsman for several
years and have seldom seen any mention of Humboldt
county in its columns, probably for the reason that no
one writes from here. I propose for once, and for the
novelty of the thing, to give you a few items.

Some of our horsemen got together and organized a
jockey club, to be known as the Rohnerville and For-
tuna Jockey club with principal place of business at
Rohnerville. The officers are M. J. Weber president,
William East, Robert •Xoble. William Friedenbach and
M. J. Weber, directors. William East is secretary.

We have here at Rohnerville, by far the best race-
track in northern California, and have put it in the
best of condition for training or racing, and propose to
have several days racing this fall. We have a lot of
youngsters that their owners believe are as good .as
any, and that will be worked, and even should none of
these succeed in taking the wreath from the brow of
King Cresceus, will make many of the lesser lights do
their "speedy utmost'1 to keep step with them. We
have the descendants and the direct get of such stal-
lions as Poscora Hayward, The Grand Moor. Wald-
stein, Ira, Wayland W. Dudley. Mustapha, Anthrim
and various others.

At one time there was talk, and we had some hopes
of getting the Trotting Horse Breeders Association
meeting here this season, but I notice that another
place gets the meeting — probably offered greater in-
ducements than we did. But it is only a question of a
little time, the meeting will come here, and probably
that of the Blood Horse Association as well.

We understand that folks in Frisco and vicinity now
generally know that Humboldt county is not in Ore-
gon, and when they learn more of us, are sure to come
and see us. Respectfully yours, M. J. Weher.

Lacked Speed and Action.

A critical judge looked the importation of Orloffs
over in New York and wrote his impressions to one of
the papers. "Apart frcm their truly remarkable uni-
formity of type, they were among the handsomest
heavy harness horses yet seen in a New York sale
mart. Their feet were smaller than American horse-
men like to see; their spread of loin and stifle was not
all that could be desired, and some of them had a bit
too much daylight under them, but in general contour
they were undeniably grand specimens of horseflesh.
To look on the other side of the picture it was apparent
to everybody that, judged by the standard of the
trotting bred carriage horse of America, they were
wofully lacking in speed and action. With few excep-
tions they 'could not do anything,' as the critics put
it, having neither the ability to go high nor the pace
to step away fast. For this reason there was probably
not one in the lot that could go out among the native
American high steppers and get a blue ribbon at the
horse shows."

Stam B. will not go to Oregon. There were many
inducements offered Mr. Gamble to take the handsome
son of Stamboul to the webfoot State, but he decided
to remain in California. Over twenty high class mares
have been bred to him so far this year and he will
make a good season at Plcasanton. Among the mares
booked to him are two very choice ones that will not
foal until late in June.

Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and
hamlet in the State.

A Battle Between a Rattlesnake and a
paial Cock.

Chap-

To the lover of nature and the sportsman, possi-
bilities with rod, gun and dog are not all of the ele-
ments that go to make up sport and recreation afield
or on the trout brook. The doings of the inhabitants
of forest and stream are full of much information and
afford food for reflection often to those who have the
opportunity and penchant for study and investigation.
Of most entrancing interest is the habits of pursuit,
animosity and combat between many kinds and species
of wild inhabitants of the open. 'The death of every
wild creature," says Setou-Thompson, "is a tragedy."

This truism in nature was aptly illustrated in the
following story of a battle royal between a huge rattle-
snake and a "roadrunner" or cbapparal cock that
was recently observed by a young high school student
of Santa Barbara. The combat took place in the hills
near "Painted Cave.," west of Santa Barbara. Pal-
manteer chanced upon the scene of the conflict while
hunting botanical specimens and carefully observed
all the details of the encounter. When first observed,
the "roadrunner" was seen darting earthward from
a considerable height. It would fly away from a
snot on the ground and return to it. The upward
flights were soon less and less, and Palmanteer was
attracted to see what was going on. He found tbat
the bird had located a rattlesnake and had bent its
energies to the killing of the reptile. The snake was,
however, fresh, and as the bird circled around it
either on foot or on the wing, kept sharp eyes upon it
and watched to find a chance to strike. The bird
circled constantly and at times would rush the snake,
striking with its bill at the back of the rattler's head.
Several blows were sent home with telling strength.

Finally the rattler had become infuriated with im-
potent rage and frequently coiled and sprung in the
direction of the agile bird. The roadrunner kept well
out of reach and was very deft in avoiding blows from
the snake. As the snake tired apparently, and seeing
an advantage, the bird struck him squarefy in the face,
taking out both eyes. The rattler, however, still
struck vainly and with failing energy. In the end the
bird pecked the head of the rattler almost into a pulp
and left it. Palmanteer then secured the rattles, which
were seven.

The young man says that while the struggle was a
fierce one. one of the most interesting possible, the
bird acted almost as it might have acted had its work
been play. The snake was vicious while the roadrun-
ner was light and apparently playful in its movements.
There was no time during the struggle when the snake
had more of a chance of winning than might have
come of a chance blow. The battle lasted for about
half an hour.

The chapparal cock, "roadrunner" or "paisano, " as
the bird is variously known, has the reputation of
being the inveterate and deadly enemy of the rattle-
snake. This most interesting bird, at one time far
more plentiful in this State than it is at the present,
has for some unexplained reason almost invariably
fallen the victim of vandal rifle or shotgun whenever
opportunity offered. Never overly plentiful, it has
always been to the student of nature and the lover of
the harmless denizens of the wild wood the source of
much pleasant study and observation. It's common
appellation, that of "roadrunner" was given the bird
by reason of its well known habit of running along
roadways. This bird when chased, as it has been fre-
quently bv riders and drivers who chanced upon the
runner, will put up a sprint with the aid of its wings
that is surprising. When close pressed, however, it
will leave the road and take to cover.

This bird has been found to endure captivity very

comfortably. If either sex has room enough in an
inclosure to" run about some most amusing bird danc-
ing can be observed at times. The "roadrunner"_in
appearance is not dissimilar to the pheasant family
and in habits and appetite very like birds of prey.
They are capable of domestication, so that they will
stay'about one's yard, feeding with the chickens and
also upon their eggs at every opportunity. If properly
looked after, however, they are, according to naturalist
Harry N. Dunn, an admirable addition to any aviary.
They" eat freely — almost from the time they are
hatched — of any animal substance, though mice, liz-
ards, centipedes, scorpions, etc.. are their favorite
food. They will nest in captivity, if a place be pro-
vided suitable for them, but they should never be
allowed in the same inclosure with other nesting birds
or with terrestrial birds, else ir. one case tbey will
destroy every egg. and in the other make life miser-
able for game birds of other land forms. As a regular
diet, beefsteak chopped very finely does well for them,
but fresh fruit, particularly the "tuna'1 or "prickly
pear" (borne by most of our common cactus) will be
welcomed when presented in small quantities and not
too often.

If, along with the fish and game protection agitation
in this Slate, that has principally for its object the
protection of fish and game for the sportsmen only, a
little care and attention were given to the many useful
and beautiful creatures of the woodland, plain and
marsh, both furred and feathered; then some hing
additional and also worthy would be accomplished for
the benefit of the commonwealth at large as well as
for a class. Many birds and animals that are wantonly
slaughtered are valuable enough to be adequately pro-
tected, and for one of them, the "roadrunner,"' we
make a plea now; the bird is well entitled to it.

San Bernardino County Fish and Game Ordinance.

The Supervisors of San Bernardino county have
issued "Notices to Sportsmen. Hunters and Fisher-
men," giving the game and fish laws of the county,
and these notices are being posted throughout the
county. The notices, while in some respects they em-
body the provisions of the general statute law will be
found to have curtailed materially the chances for the
"fish hog" to deplete the county streams. The county
ordinance is the following and forbids sportsmen:

1. To pursue, take, kill or destroy any female deer
at any time. 2. To hunt, kill or pursue, take or de-
stroy any male deer between the 1st day of October
and the 1st day of August of the following year. 3.
To take, kill or have in possession more than three
male deer during any one open season. 4. To catch
or have in possession any kind of mountain trout be-
tween the first day of November and the first day of
May of the foJowing year. 5. To sell, or offer, or ex-
pose for sale any mountain trout at any time. 6. To
catch more than fifty mountain trout. T. To catch
or take any trout less than five inches in length and
not immediately and carefully returning the same to
the stream. 8. To catch or take any mountain trout
except with hook and line. 9. To take. kill, destroy
or have in possession between the first day of Febru-
ary and the first day of August any dove: or during
any one calendar day to take, kill, destroy or have in
possession more than fifty doves. 10. To hunt, pur-
sue, take, kill, destroy or have in possession any quail,
plover, rail or wild duck between the first day of Feb-
ruary and the first day of October of the same year.

11. To take, kill, destroy or have in possession during
any one calendar day more than twenty-five quail, or
more than fifty wild ducks, or more than twenty rails.

12. At any time .to transport or carry out of the
county of San Bernardino, or to secure for the pur-
pose of transporting from said county any quail or
wild duck. 13. At any time in the county of San
Bernardino to sell, or offer or expose for sale any quail
or wild duck. 14. To take, kill, destroy or have in
possession at any time in the county of San Bernar-
dino any pheasant, or to rob the nest, or to have ia
possession the eggs of any pheasant. 15. To hunt,
kill, destroy or have in possession any species of tree
squirrel between the first day of February and the
first day of August of any one year, or to kill or de-
stroy in any one day more than five squirrels, com-
monly known as gray or tree squirrels. 16. To hunt,
pursue, take, kill or destroy any of the birds men-
tioned in this notice between one-half hour after sun-
down and one-half hour before sunrise of the following
day. IT. To destroy or have in possession the nests
or eggs of any of the birds mentioned in this notice.
Upon conviction of any of the above offenses the
offender will be punished by a fine of not less than
twenty ($20) dollars or imprisonment in the county
jail not less than ten days, or by both such fine and
imprisonment.

The Watsonville Rod and Gun Club, which was
organized a few weeks ago, now has a membership of
about fifty, each Sunday witnesses a gathering of
shooters at the new shooting quarters on the Broadis
place, at the northern end of that city. The location
is an ideal one for trap shooting. The property has
been leased by the club and is being supplied with
modern appliances. Five traps, with an electric
attachment, have been installed to throw the blue
rocks and now work very satisfactorily. Other im-
provements will be made from time to time.

California favorite hot weather drink — Jackson's
Napa Soda.

The California Wing Club live bird shoot last Sun-
day commenced with twenty-four entries in the open-
ing event, the regular club match. Seven shooters
killed straight and divided $75: they were M. O. Feud-
ner, Dr. E. G McConnell, H. C. Golcher, Jos. J.
Sweeney, P. J. Walsh, Ed Donohoe and W. H. Wil-
liamson. Feudner also shot up a back score without
a miss, standing at the 33 yard mark in the twelve
bird pool following. Phil B". Bekeart. H. Justins, C.
H. Shaw and F. W. Tallant each killed straight in the
club race, but the wire fence ruled against their full
scores, the birds falling dead out.

C. A. Haight, Phil B. Bekeart, H. Justins, H. Mc-
Murchy, P. J. Walsh, Ed Donohoe and M. O. Feudner
(back score only) killed clean in a twelve bird pool.
The shooters scoring straight in two six bird pools
were W. J. Golcher. H. F. Wagner. H. Justins and P.
J. Walsh in the first and H. McMurchv, C. C. Nau
man, P. J. Walsh, H. F. Wagner, C. H. Shaw and Mr.
Hutton in the second. Feudner and Walsh did not
lose a bird during the day's shooting. Feudner now
has three straight club scores to his credit. The
weather was favorable to the sport; the birds supplied
were generally strong. The average of scores, given
below, was excellent all round :

Chico and Oroville trap shooters are actively pre-
paring for the tournament at Sacramento.

Berkeley sportsmen have organized a gun club and
elected the following officers: President, C. C. Juster;
Secretary and Treasurer, Guy Hyde Chick; Manager,
W. H. Kerrison; Captain, Cecil Reid. Charles Mc-
Clain, Cecil Reid and W. H. Kerrison have been
appointed a committee to select a site for a club house
and a name for the club. Others interested in the
new organization are Dr. J. A. D. Hutton, Lancey
Baird, John Lynch and James Landregan.

Sacramento trap shooters devote themselve to the
sport with avidity. The capital city traps are much
frequented by shooters every Sunday. Last Sunday
was a pleasant day and a large crowd was present at
two club shoots.

At the Washington Gun Club meeting someexcellent
scores were made, Captain Williams carried off the
honors, breaking 25 straight and 23 in the club match.
The Capital Citys were beaten by the Washingtons in
the team shoot. Following are the scores:

from ten tip twenty-three pounds a dav almost under
the shadow of his hat

.Mr. Dickinson's catoh was taken near Verdi, with
the spoon, in about two and one-half hours with a 51
ounce split bamboo rod. Tho largest fish scaled at six
pounds, the total weight of the take was twenty-six
pounds. The ti-hing was abruptly terminated "by a
sudden snowstorm. He felt confident that bad it not
been for this contretemps he could have taken out
between fifty and sixty nice fish from the stream.

Another angler, who fished the river on the opposite
bank at the same time landed enough trout to weigh
twenty-three pounds. Another fisherman about 200
feet further down on the other side hooked six fine
trout, the largest one weighing eight pounds. Both
fishermen used bait— the "barnyard hackle."

The big fish now being caught in the Truckee have
come up from Pyramid lake. Spoon and bait fishing
on the river is always good from the opening of the
season until about the middle of June, or at least until
most of the snow in the mountains has melted and run
off and the river cleared. After this the fly is taken
with avidity by the trout. Good fly fishing can be
had much earlier on Prosser Creek and the Little
Truckee, a short distance above their confluence with
the Truckee. The Truckee at present, above these
two streams, is reported to be full of fish running from
one-quarter to one and a half pounds in weight.

The Clabrough-Golcher Company handicap prize
merchandise shoot at Ingleside on the 18th inst prom-
ises to be a great event. The shoot will begin at 10:30
a. m. The conditions of the main event are as follows:

Thirty blue rocks, entrance $1.00. All shooters will
be classified as follows: expert, 1st, 2d and 3d classes
and will compete for prizes provided for such class as
tbey may be placed in. All those competing will shoot
at the first fifteen birds from the sixteen yard mark,
after which the following handicap will be made:

from 20 yards; 12 and 13 breaks. 15 at 18 yards: lo and
11 breaks, 15 at 16 yards; 9 breaks or under, 15 at 14
yards. The handicap will be the same for all classes.
Ties for guns will shoot off at 25 birds from the handi-

These grand salt water fish should from now on be
found in the waters of Raccoon Straits and vicinity if
the experience of a noted Eastern angler last Sunday
is any criterion. During slack low water Mr. C. F.
Bonney and Mr. F. W. Kelley trolled for bass in the
waters about the end of Belvedere island, Peninsular
Point. This was Mr. Bonney 's initial try at striped
bass trolling with a No. 5 Wilson spoon. A number of
strikes wero had and several fish caught, the largest,
a fine conditioned seven pounder, was cooked and eaten
for dinner the same evening at Mr. Kelley's summer
cottage in Tiburon.

When the first fish was felt, Mr. Bonney, not
knowing the ways of the bass, waited just a bit too
long to strike. In the swirling eddies near the half
submerged rocks jutting from the tide off the point,
the next strike was had, and it was a heavy one. The
fish took the line out with a rush and came to the sur-
face of the water with a splash when the butt was put
on him. It was at once se3n that the bass was one
of enormous size. The fish again came to the daylight,
this time close to the anchored boat of a party of rock
cod fishermen, who were almost startled at the sudden
appearance of an immense fish almost within reaching
distance. Luck, however, was not with the angler,
for the fish in coming towards the boat beat the reel
and then shook the spoon from its jaws when the line
was slacked. The indications from the number of
strikes presage some good bass fishing in that quarter
from now on. Mr. Bonney was more than pleased
with his initial experience with striped bass and will
try the game again before returning East. He has an
enviable reputation as a record black bass angler in
Wisconsin and Michigan waters, where he goes annu-
ally for a fishing outing.

At the "fill in" below Point Reyes striped bass are
plentiful; clams are the proper lure for this spot.
Frank Vernon hooked an eleven pounder, James May-
nard and Jos. Macauley also caught some nice bas§.
A thirteen pound fish was taken in San Antonio slough
on Saturday. The net fishermen are taking big hauls
of bas9 out of Petaluma creek, much to the disgust of
the anglers.

Fish Lines.

T. S. Mabel, of Salinas, landed a 161 inch trout out
of the Carmel last Saturday.

Striped bass are now rather plentiful in Russian
river. A few days ago a six-pounder was taken from
the river near Healdsburg.

Mr. .1. W\ Dickinson, of Oakland, enjoyed an after-
noon's trout fishing on the Truckee near Verdi, on
April 20th. The Truckee has the reputation of being
one of the greatest and most prolific trout stream- on
the Coast. The fish caught there are always cold, firm
and in good healthy condition. This water has its
peculiarities and disappointments for the angler un-
acquainted with the river. With fly or spo<>>
fishermen will go all day without putting a single Gsh
in the basket, whilst a market fisherman will whip out

San Francisco Beech Show Specials.

The list of specials at the recent show was a grand
one. The elegant and costly bronze vase given by
Hon. Yo How is as valuable and ornamental a trophy
as one could wish for. The "Cresceus Cup," given by
Mr. George Ketcham, is one of the handsomest and
best cups ever won at a Coast show. The A. D.
Spreckels1 cup, "President's Cup, " is a beautiful and
valuable piece of the silversmith's art and was won by
Mr. Rosseter with Rubber Ankles, the John G. Kent
silver cup was also won by another of Mr. Rosseter 's
Greyhounds, Royal Archer.

In the Ring.

[Concluded from last week ]

Fox Terriers were a well averaging lot in quality,
with thirty smooths and fourteen wires benched.
Rowton Besom, a clean cut, well balanced dog, first
winners, open and limit, Endcliffe Resist reserve win-
ners and second limit, Wandee Revelry, first puppies
and novice, third limit and second open, was taken
from a crate a day or two before the show and was not
in the best of condition. This youngster is a well
headed, good fronted dog but will stand a promised
improvement in hindquarters. Champion Niola Dadd y
came in the ring in off condition after his round of the
northern shows. In bitches, Imelda, first puppies was
the surprise going over Cairnsmuir Modesty in win-

ners. This latter bitch ranked such well-known ones as
Vina Belle, Carmencita and Eclipse Blanche.

Wires brought out Endcliffe Bristles, a grand headed,
well fronted, stylish terrier from the ground up. Mr.
Carnochan thought so well of him that be purchased
him. Second place was taken by Humberstone
Bristles, a showy, good bodied and limbed dog with a
well typed head. In bitches, Maggie the Maid was the
leader. Morenga, a good young dog, second. The
number of good ones on the Coast now should mark
an era of much advancement in the breed.

Cocker Spaniels were up in class and quality with
previous shows — the principal rivalry was between
Delverton and Plumeria Kennels, the former getting
first honors in blanks with Hampton Promise and his
son Mrs. J. H. Brooks' Delverton Cappi. In bitches
Ch Princess Flavia was over Plumeria Portia. In
reds Plumeria Kennels annexed the principal honors.

Field Spaniels with but three entries were fair with
the exception of Royd Monarch III which is a very
good ODe.

The sporting dogs were not up to the standard of
past exhibits. Pointers were twenty-one in number
and about the poorest collection showing in several
.years past. Stockdaie Kennels and Mount View Ken-
nels made the best showing. Aleck C, Dr. Daniels,
Cuba Jr., Bow's Son and Tick's Sport were nearly all
that the dog classes offered worthy of mention. In
bitches Ella E. put Lady Colvin in second place.

English Setters to the number of twenty-two em-
braced some high class field dogs, but with few ex-
did Dot appeal to the attention of visitors by reason of
high Setter type development. The field trial celeb-
rities among this breed did not fare so well as the
Pointers. In dogs, Buckwa was easily first as a typical
specimen of what a strong, clean well built hunting
dog should be and in marked contrast to some of the
high struog and tense nerved thirty-five and twenty-
eight pound field trial-dogs— which, although highly
developed in intelligence and field sense, have gradu-
ally acquired those qualities at the expense of vitality,
stamina and requisite structure. In bitches, Maggie
E., Miriam J., the Victoria dog Lady Howard and
Hazel C. seemed to be the properly selected ribbon
winners.

In the field trial class Judge Davidson, who by the
way does not show any inclination to place dogs by
reason of past performances, seemed to hit the right
balance, Aleck C. and Maggie F. took first awards.
The class was a small one, full of quality but lacking
in style in some respects.

Gordons were seven in number and but fair, the
Sacramento dog Crackerjack is a good dog, as is the
local dog Major II. The breed seems to have gone out
of fashion on the Coast. Irish Setters, with thirteen
on the bench, showed a fine average of good ones.
Mike Swiveller T. first and grand old Finglas Jr. in
dogs and Lady Josie II. and Ch. Lady Swiveller, her
dam, were the best of the red setters. Two Irish
Water Spaniels, both good ones, were beDched. We
fancied Bang B. over Barney Lund in type, color,
style and everything but size.

Foxhounas were not numerous, though a few good
ones were shown. Bey is a nice looking dog of the Eng-
lish type, showing class and style. Max, a young dog,
is a proper sized one with plenty of quality. Crowder,
first winners, is a solid, well set up, strong-boned dog.
Guy, reserve, was a fair-headed, good dog, but in poor
condition. In bitches, Melba C, a good, clean-built,
classy one, was first; Sappho, a nice bodied bitch,
reserve. Melody, first novice, was remarkably well
boned for a bitch.

The two packs of hounds shown were not remark-
able for style or quality, with the exception of one or
two. These seemed to be a commingling of the differ-
ent types. These dogs, however, are high class in one
respect, and that is in their work, either at San Rafael
or Burlingame.

One Bloodhound, Peggy, a fairly good specimen,
and four Dalmatians of merit filled out the entries for
these breeds.

The general tone of the Collie exhibit was fair with
a sprinkling of some very good ones. Ormskirk Em-
erald, Jr., shown in fine coat and condition, first win-
ners and open, was put over Ch Old Hall Admiral,
whose twelve years of age was too great a handicap in
favor of the younger dog. Verona Braw Laddie
showed promised improvement since last year's show.
In puppies, Robert Bruce, a handsome tri-color is a
promising young dog. Cheviot Construction was
easily best in a numerous but rather poor class for
quality, but five out of seventeen entered getting a
mention. Verona Battle and Seattle Bob, both good
dogs were in strong oompany in limit, a class of ten, all
of which reoeived mention from Dr. Clayton. In
bitches, Gypsey Queen, first winners, open and limit,
oarried the honors for a kennel of white woolly collies
of only ordinary quality. Verona Mollie, first limit,
Ormskirk Fannie, first novice, and Las Vegas Maid,
first puppies and Pearl Thurber, second puppies and
novice, are an all round fair lot, placed about right.

Bulldogs, with eleven benched, was the most impos-
ing exhibit of this breed seen here yet. Ivel Rustic
(for exhibition and brace competition only) is too well
known for description here. Id puppies, True Blue, a
white bitch, has a low, well set, cloddy body aDd shows
good cooformation and front. She has a small head
and pinched face. Woodlawn Masquerade has a better
face and head but lost in body and legs to Blue. Bully
Bottom has improved much in a year. Endcliffe Em-
inent is a good bodied brindle and has a good head and
face. In bitches Endcliffe Pleasure, a well set brindle,
and Canford Rush were first and second.

Bull Terriers had an excellent eotry, Dot quite up to
the two past shows however. Champion Banjo, look-
ing well and fit as ever, was easily first winners and
open io light. Patsy, reserve, winners and first novice,
is deaf as a post and should : ave been disqualified.
Newmarket Duke II. is a fair headed, well bodied,
young dog and had hard luck. Hawthorn Snowflake,
first winners and puppies, is a clean cut, good headed
bitch, Belle Balsamo, secoDd winners and first open,
aod Lady Veoom, first limit, were all in excellent eon-
ditioD and placed in a manner that did not bring out
adverse comment.

Boston Terriers showed a record entry of sixteen.
Among them were a few good ones, the general run of
them being but fair. One of the Eastern dogs with a
docked tail wasevidently overlooked by the judge and
came in for a win or two. Endcliffe Premier and Win-
ner, one-two in winners, open and limit. Premier did
Dot show so much superiority as he did age over the
younger one to merit the awards. Endcliffe Vernette,
first winners and puppies, is afair looking brindle bitch
that waB lucky in not receiving a critical inspectkra.
Meg was relegated to a place in the background that
was undeserved.

In Beagles a good one, Pilgrim, was shown Whar-
ton's Diligent is a clever looking bitch.

Poodles showed two good ones, Sport and Cocaine,
a black. Toys were only ordinary.

Dachshunds brought Doc, Jr., a local dog to the
front in winners and puppies. Pretzels second and
Merry Fritz seemed about all the quality to the dogs
excepting several Venlo cracks not entered for com-
petition. In bitches, Pretzel and Olga romped
through the classes.

Irish Terriers with twelve entries were a fair lot.
Endcliffe Gripper and Virginia F. taking the honors
without much struggle.

Two Bedlingtons from Seattle were good ones. Two
Scotties, Endcliffe Rebel and Reynard's Rascal, were
better than usually seen here.

Pugs, Spitz, Yorkshire and Toy Spaniels were not
well represented. In Maltese Terriers, four were
shown, Margie B. being the best one.

Champion Nippon won in Japanese Spaniels; two
others shown were also good ones.

The Black and Tans, Oriental dogs, Chows and
Esquimaux varieties were not numerous nor overly
good ones.

DOINGS IN D0GD0M.

Endcliffe Premier served Woodlawn Kennels' The
Lady April 28th, 29th.

Mr. Chas. K. Harley has offered a silver cup for the
best Coast bred Great Dane bitch shown at Sacramento.

American Kennel Club Stud Book, Vol. 18, is out.
Copies can be procured by addressing Secretary
Vredenburg, No. 05 Liberty street, N. Y.

The Pacific Bull Terrier Club will hold a meeting in
the office of the Breeder and Sportsman on Mon-
day evening. Among other business to be transacted
will be the aooual election of officers.

The practice of some Coast fauciers of usiug well
known Eastern or English kenoel names for dogs of
their own breeding with an initial or a numeral suffix
added is entirely wrong, misleading and should be dis-
continued.

Sacramento entries have been beyond expectation,
writes President William Halley. The outside entry
is also a good one. The show opens on Tuesday and
closes Friday night, ijuite a delegation from this city
will attend.

Ben Baum's English Setter bitch, Rod's Sylvia
(Champion Rod field-Countess Diana) whelped on April
18th a littor of ten puppies, three dogs, by Thomas J.
Wattson's Starlight W. (Dan Gladstone-Miss Alice).
The puppies are beautifully marked and strong,
healthy youngsters. This litter should produce some
good ones.

A communication from Mr. L. A. Klein, taking excep-
tion to our statement last week, gives his version in
figures of the number of dogs benched this year. In
his statement, however, he includes dogs benched that
were not local days. Of the "416 other breeds," nearly
50 of these were from without the zone of local sup-
port— we have not included in this the usual entries
from within a radius of fifty miles of this city; there
are also about 15 entries of hi3 0wn, for exhibition, etc.,
which may be counted with the local dogs, but must
be taken in place of that number of local dog° absent.
Taking the 50 "outside"dogs and his own entries of 15,
from "416 other breeds" benched, sbowsthat weover-
eBtimated the local showing of dogs by Dearly \"% —
we stated that "not many more than 300 local dogs
were benched. " It seems we were about 65 dogs over
the limit.

However, this is not in criticism of Mr. Klein; he is
entitled to much credit for bringing off a very good
show, in fact, under the circumstances he accomplished
marvels. The fact that bills, prizes, cups, etc., etc.,
were paid aod forthcoming during the last day and
immediately following the close of the show, is alone
an unusual precedent in connection with past shows
for several years. The communication of Mr. Klein
referred to is the following:

" The last issue of your valuable paper asserts that
"t he numbers of dogs bf nched (at the last S. F. K. C.

that not many more thao 300 local dogs were beached."
Allow me to state that the official record of the show
proves the following figures: total number of dogs
entered 568; total Dumber of abseDtees 48; total Dum-
ber benched 520, of which total 104 were Greyhounds
and 416 other breeds.

As compared with the previous year it has been the
record entry of the S. F. K; C.

I fiDd the total Dumber of dogs entered last year 463,
of which there were 80 abseDtees. For some unknown
reasoo these latter were never reported to the Ameri-
can Kennel Club, which is made evident by the official
report of the show in last July's American Kennel
Gazette. This proves this year's show to have had 105
or nearly 23% more dogs actually entered or 137 dogs or
nearly 36°0 more dogs actually benched as last year's
record. LeaviDg Greyhounds eotirely out of consider-
ation we find this year 416 dogs benched as against 37"
(last year's record), an increase of over 10', V Trust-
ing that you will give this space in your next issue in
the interest of truth as well as justice."

THE FARM.

<&&>

Dairymen want the best and cheapest
feed for their cows. If they raise alfalfa
they have the cheapest because they can
raise more tons to the acre than they can
from any grass, and it is also the best be-
cause it will produce more milk than any
grass

Immediately after milking ihe temper-
ature of the milk ought to be reduced to
forty or fifty degrees, either by pouring it
in a thin layer over a smootli metal sur-
face which can be kept cool with water,
ice or brine, or by setting the cans of milk
into cold water and stirring frequently to
hasten the cooling. The quicker this is
done the better, as the sudden chilling of
milk is considered very beneficial as it
improves the flavor and hastens the sepa-
ration of cream.

The famous Shorthorn cow Cicely of
Queen Victoria's breeding sold recently
for $G000. She is not large but very
broad, with a superb loin^well sprung
rib and heavy quarter. She is low down,
legB short and weighs about 1GU0 pounds.
The possession of theBe individual char-
acteristics, the ability to lay on thick
Hesh where it will command the highest
prices, coupled with that old but well
established axiom that like breeds like is
what gives her great value for breeding
purposes

So great is the shortage of beef in Brit-
ain, pending the tremendous falling off in
receipts from the United States, that a
resolution has been introduced into the
House of Commons ordering an inquiry
into the present status and asking the
Government to throw down the bars to
Canadian and Argentine cattle, though of
course under different condition?. The
British farmers want Canadian stock cat-
tle to feed and the British consumer wants
the Argentine steer to eat right after his
arrival on British shores.

Talcing into consideration the scarcity
of eggs that has prevailed lately the peo-
ple who are keeping chickens are quite
anxious to have them keep on laying for
a while and many of them would prefer
not to have the old hens take a notion to
set just yet. A well known fancier claims
to have discovered an infallible recipe for
breaking up setting hens. His plan is to
administer to the fowl having such a
strong attachment for the nest a one-grain
quinine capsule each day for three or four
days. At the end of that time it will be
impossible to induce the hen to stay on
the nest any longer than is necessary to
lay.

The real pouitryman is the one who has
a plan for everything, and breeds with an
object in view. He plans to have his
young hens become layers in the fall and
he plans to keep them laying during the
winter when eggs are high; he plans a
poultry house that can be kept clean at a
minimum of labor ; he plans to feed a cer-
tain ration and mix in a certain way; he
plans to have green and vegetable food at
the right times ; he plans a dust box in a
place that will always be dry, even n j
rainy weather, and he plans to have his
fowls excercise and keep healthy. When
he has planned all the details carefully,
he has arranged a plan of success.

One of the striking things shown by the
last census was the remarkable increase (
of tenant farming. The percentage of.
farms operated by tenants showed consid-
erable increase by the census of 1890. For !
the whole country this percentage in-
creased in the laBt ten years nearly twice
as fast as the percentage of population of
the nation, four tim'a that of the purely
agricultural population and twice that of

the farms opera ted by owners. The woods
are still full of people who just dote on
voting for a governmental policy that will
continue to perpetuate such a disastrous
system as this. It is everything for the
banks and the money-sharks these days. —
Field anil Farm.

It is best to dehorn animals when calves
and the earlier the operation is performed
after two or three days old the better.
The horn button may be lifted out with a
knife or removed with special instruments
made for the purpose, known as the out-
cutter or gouge. Dehorning calves by
chemicals is generally preferred to the use
of these instruments. Liquid chemical
dehorners are manufactured and sold to
the trade and generally prove effective
when properly applied, killing the horn
genu and even altering the natural devel-
opment of the little animal's head at the
point on which the horns would otherwise
set. Stick caustic potash will accomplish
the Bame results, but the men who make
the liquid dehorners warn against its use,
contending that it may make the head
sore and thus stunt the calf. On the
other hand much weight of veterinary in-
dorsement has been given to the use of
cauBtic potash. To apply it clip the hair
around the embryo horn, moisten the but-
ton and rub thoroughly with the stick of
potash, being careful to protect the fingers-
In using all chemicals take care that they
do not run down into the eye of the calf.

Too much can scarcely be said about
the importance of having forage crops to
supplement the pastures, when drought
causes the crop to run short. It is im-
portant to the dairy, because without it at
such times the cows will shrink in their
milk, and after this shrinkage has taken
place, the grass that starts after the rains
come cannot bring back either the full
milk production, or the flesh they will
have lost, and the most liberal feeding at
the barn, though it may put on flesh, will
not cause the milk to return. WorBe than
that, starvation will induce the. cow to eat
weeds or the leaves of trees, so as to seri-
ouslv injure the quality of what she may
produce. There is also another value to
these forage crops. Farmers are often
tempted to feed too late in the fall that
they may save hay. This leaves the pas-
ture bare in win er, and the ground after
the fall rains, gets trod and packed hard,
and the grass starts slowly in the spring,
while if enough had been left to protect it,
it- would have warmed up and started
more quickly, giving good feed just when
the stock seem to relish it best. Do not
fail to provide some, and more than one
if possible, of these crops, that they may
be ready at any time from June to October.
If any are left they can be cured for use in
winter, saving the precious hay.

Always be willing- to arbitrate a griev-
ance with your neighbor rather than go
to law. Law should be the very last
resort in the settlement of neighborhood
troubles. ^

for sale, I have leased the premises known as the Fulton Stables, 2-J6 Third street, and con-
nected it with my well-kDown olace, the Occidental Horse Exchange, and will hereafter
conduct the entire business under the latter name

1 have room for over 200 horses, the finest of stalls, all on the ground floor, where special
attention is paid their sanitation and ventilation. The large area of ground space, 120k
250 feet, gives me plenty of room for keeping horses in any manner desired, commodious box
stalls, fine tanbark ring and large enclosure to exercise horses in. A splendid entrance on
Third street (the busiest in San Francisco) and another on Clementina street in the rear,
give me opportunities for the reception and delivery of horses and vehicles unequaled by
any one in San Francisco.

The Fastest Son of Guy Wilkes

Will make the Season of 1902 at

Lakeville, Sonoma Co., Cal.

SEYMOUR WILKES earned his record in a
hard fought race and was a game race horse.
Ttc oidest of his get are five-year-olds, and no
hor^s in California can show a greater propor-
tion of large, handsome, strongly built and
well-boned colts. They all look alike and in
nearly every instance are square trotters. The
only one that h3S been trained is Joe Eviston
(3~2:22inl901.

SEYMOUR WILKES is by Guy Wilkes his
dam Early Bird by Playmail; second dam by
Odd Fellow, third dam by a son of Williamson's
Belmont, fourth dam by Blackhawk 767. He
weighs 1200 pounds, stands 16 hands high and is
oneof the most symmetrical horses in California.
Several of his get are in San Francisco and will
be shown to prospective breeders withpleasure
Tflrmo fnr fho Qoocnn Cdfl Mares not proving in foal can be returned next year by paying
ICllllo IUI (lie OCuoUllt iJH-Ui ?10 additional. Mares can be shipped direct to ranch, via

MONTEREY 31706 3I8SJ

PEDIGREE IN PART.

QIRED BY SIDNEY %I93£, sire of 17 in the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, 3 better than 2:10. and Lenna
'- N, 2:05'.; (champion record), and 96 in the charmed circle. Hattie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares, Com. Belmont 4340, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2:18*£.
Barbna. his second dam, is by Woodford's Mambrino 2:21i4, and his third dam. Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25, sire of Lula 2: 15; fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at: he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S. Maben writes me as follows:

"I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th, a half in 1:15, first quarter in 0:40' j, last
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can Trot faster than
any colt I ever saw and do it easier. Walter S. Maben.'1

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake dinners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a mnch larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep him down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them. Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top, and speed also- Monterey will make this season, 1902,

JOTTINGS.

THE BLUE RIBBON SALE opened last Tuesday
at Cleveland and while telegraphic reports are
very meagre they show that speed brought good
money and that the sale has been a success. Of the
Palo Alto consignment which consisted almost entirely
of undeveloped two year olds (there was one three year
old offered) Medion, the handsome son of Mendocino
out of Clarion by Ansel, brought the top price — $1350,
and was purchased by James Golden who has a knack
of picking up good things at the Palo Alto sales and
selling them at a profit. Rosaro. a brown gelding by
.Dexter Prince, brought -31300, La Rose, a filly by the
same sire fetched SHOO, Naza by Nazote sold for $1000,
and a half dozen more went for prices ranging from
$500 to 8900.

The twenty-four head from Aptos Farm were sold

well. The five year old chestnut mare by Dexter

• Prince out of Point Lace by Antevolo brought the

most 'money, Mr. Abe "Carson of New York paying

$2275 for her. Quite a number brought over $500.

Willard Stimson's consignment consisted of two
trotters, Julia M. by Zombro and The Vendome by
Iran Alto, The mare brought S2600 and the gelding
$850. Julia M. is a green mare with a trial of 2:13}
_ while The Vendome has. been racer? and has a record
of 2:21} as a three year old.

The consignments from Santa Rosa Stock Farm and
from C. L. Griffith of Pleasanton went under the ham.
mer Wednesday. Of the Santa Rosa horses Almaretta
2:25 brought $1000, Lady Pansy Russell, by L. W.
Russell out of the dam of Almonition 2:24^ and King
Orry 2:21}, sold for $1100, Rosario a five year old mare
by McKinney out of By By by Nutwood brought $775,
and th« others sold for le6ser figures.

Mr. Griffith received the top price of the sale up to
"Wednesday for Domino, the five year old black pacer
by Rect 2:16} out of Sophia by Robert McGregor.
John H. Shultz of New York paid $3400 for this geld-
ing, which showed a mile in 2:05 over the Cleveland
track on theday before the sale opened. Reet 2:16},
who has been gelded since he sired Domino, brought
$1100.

These are the only sales reported by telegraph up
to the time we go to press, but we shall be able to
print a full summary of all the sales of California
horses next week. From the figures received it looks
as if the market for fast horses is off a little and this
is not to be wondered at as the entry lists for the big
purses on the Grand Circuit are about all dosed by
this time. The prices obtained were very good how-
ever, and there should be little grumbling over the
result.

Budd Doble left Alameda last Tuesday for Cleveland
with a carload of harness horses. It was Orrin
Hiekok's intention to accompany him on the trip, but
a day or two previous the veteran reinsman was taken
suddenly ill and could not go, and did not get away
until Thursday of this week. Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick's
two paceis, Clipper 2:06 and Thornway, that Mr.
Hickok has been training at Pleasanton, went in
Doble's car, and were both in fine shape at the time of
their departure. Clipper has been given his work in
hopples this spring and took to the straps so kindly
that it is thought he will give a good account of him-
self this year. Owing to Mr. Hickok's illness, Worth
Ober drove Clipper in his final tryout last Saturday at
Pleasanton. He was instructed to work him the mile
close to 2:15, going away fast and coming home fast.
He followed instructions very closely. The first eighth
was in 15 seconds, then he took the son of Diablo back
and at the last quarter let him step along. The
watches held on him registered from 30} seconds to 31
seconds for this quarter and Clipper was going easily.
If he keeps his temper Clipper will be able to give an
argument to some of the free for allers over East this
summer as he is game as a pebble. Thornway, now a
four year old, has many engagements on the Grand Cir-
cuit and his owner believes he will give a good account
of himself. The many friends of Mr. Hickok sincerely
hope be will fully recover his health by the time he
reaches Cleveland that be may be able to give his per-
sonal attention to these two fast pacers, and Col. Kirk,
patrick has nothing but the very best wishes and
hopes of all Californians for a successful campaign for
his horses on the Grand Circuit. Budd Doble has
Chas. Newman's pair of road mares which he intends
showing on the Eastern tracks and they will surely
attract attention. He also took along in the car Miss
Jessie 2:13j and several other horses that were con-
signed to Eaitern purchasers. Young Mr. Galleagos
did not go with him as he intended. His two young
pacers, Trilby and Diablita, went wrong and were not
in condition to ship, so he wisely concluded to keen
them here for a while yet.

There will be harness racing in California this year
•'from Siskiyou to San Diego and from the Sierras to
the sea, "as Senator Perkins once poetically put it
when speaking of a wave of votes that was coming his
way. Every little district association* and every big
one is getting out a program of races to be held at its
fair. There will be large purses and small ones, for
fast classes and slow ones, and it might be well for
owners and trainers to remember that the horse -which
is well entered will be the money earner of the stable.
I don't mean the one that is entered in everything
promiscuously to which he is eligible, but the one that
is placed where he will have an opportunity to win.
Many a trainer sits down every year and makes his
entries without taking into consideration anything but
the class of the purse, the size of it and the speed of
bis own horse. He often utterly fails to reckon on
the speed of those his horse will have to meet, and
that has much to do with results. Two years ago a
trainer told me he knew the horses in the 2:30 trots
would go faster than those in the 2:20, because he had
seen the majority of them work, yet he entered in the
slower class and got no money when he had a good
chance to win in the 2:20 class, as was proven by the
time made. The trainer or owner who is thoroughly
alive should have an idea, at least, of what the other
fellows are doing and not allow his hopes of what he
expects his horse to do to control him in making en-
tries. It is much more profitable to win first money
in a $500 purse than to be outside the money in the
M. & 51. at Detroit. Of course, the Grand Circuit is
the place for a man with a string of 2:10 or better
horses, but the horse that finds three heats around
2:16 or 2:18 about bus limit should be raced at home.
The horse, histrainerand the ownerwill all feel better
and have more flesh on them at the end of a campaign
where they win small purses than where they start for
all the big ones and lose. The California Circuit this
year will be worth entering horses in and those who
enter judiciously should be able to earn considerable
over and above expenses.

I see by an Eastern exchange that the talentsd and
versatile Gilbert Tompkins is now located in New York
and isconducting a correspondence by mail with horse-
men who desire to be instructed in the science of bal-
ancing horses. Mr. Tompkins has many original
ideas and theories and while they may not all be prac-
tical he has given trainers many ideas that they have
put to profitable use. When he managed the well
known Souther Farm near San Leandro in this State,
he built a swimming pool where horses with bad feet
and legs were given exercise without fear of injury to
joints or tendons. That swimming horses is beneficial
to them is well known, and many trainers of thorough-
breds here exercise their horses daily on the ocean
beach, where they are galloped in the surf or swum as
the case may be. Mr. Tompkins' tanks were very ex-
pensive things to maintain, however, heated as they
were by means of pipes, and the revenue did not equal
the expenditures. One of his inventions was a sort of
hinged paddle or rudder to fasten to the feet of a
swimming horse for the purpose of correcting faulty
gaits. Mr. Tompkins also expended quite a sum in
advertising a patent rasp for leveling the hoof of
horses without injuring the frog, but it failed to meet
a very large sale. Up to a few months ago, Mr.
Tompkins conducted a Balancing Department in the
Chicago Horseman. Several trainers have told me
that they found much to commend in the suggestions
there made, and improved their horses greatly by fol-
lowing the rules laid down. Mr. Tompkins has gained
quite a reputation as a song writer and is an accom-
plished musician. Few persons have made the study of
the gaits of harness horses that he has, and while he
may be more theoretical than practical he has ideas
that are original at least and many of them meritorious.

Poor old Ottinger went through a New York auction
sale the other day and brought $140. He is now four-
teen years old and has been one of the regulars at the
New York auctions for the past year or so. Time was
when he was received with the clapping of hands and
cheers when brought onto the California tracks and
many a dollar he won for his owners and friends in
years agone. The first time I ever saw the son of
Dorsey's Nephew was when the lamented Tommy
Keating won the four year old stake with him at the
California State Fair in 1892. There were but three
starters for this stake, which was worth something
over a thousand dollars, and Peko, the Palo Alto mare
by Electioneer that afterwards took a record of 211},
was the favorite. The other starter was Oak wood
Park Stock Farm's colt Wildo by Clovis, but he was
distanced the first heat. Ottinger won the race in
straight heats, the fastest of which was the third —
2:21}. Keating and his partner Adolph Ottinger, the
well "known ticket broker for whom the gelding was
named, must have cleaned up a hat full of money that
day. The next year at the Stockton fair Ottinger

trotted to a record of 2:11} in the same free for all
where McKinney 2:11} got his record and which it
took eight heats to decide. Steve Whipple won the
first heat "n 2:13, McKinney the next in 2:111- It was
getting dark on Saturday night when these two heats
were over and the race was postponed until Monday
under the rules. McKinney finally won the race,
which was one of the most exciting ever trotted in
California. There were from ten to seventeen scores
before the word was given in each heat and none but
the gamest of horses could have stood it. Two years
after Ottinger was shifted to the pace and managed to
take a record of 2:16 at Los Angeles, but the trot was
his natural gait and he was allowed to take it there-
after. The next year (1896) at Stockton he met such
horses" as Iago, Stam B., Altao, Toggles, Visalia and
Ethel Downs in the 2:10 class trot and defeated them
in one of the greatest races ever seen on this Coast.
Iago won the first heat in 2:11 [, and Ottinger the next
three in 2:09J, 2:10}r and 2:09J. I believe this is the
record to-day of the fastest four heat race ever trotted
in California. Since Ottinger was sold over East he
has been used as a speedway and matinee horse, but
his best days are over, and while he can yet show
bursts of his old time speed he cannot go the route as
his legs and feet are, as the swipes say: "On the dink."

Among the pacers entered in many of the races in
which the California whirlwind, Sir Albert S. 2:08},
will start on the Grand Circuit this year is Terrace
Queen, a mare owned by Mr. J. C. McKinney, of the
Terrace Farm, Titusville, Pa. Terrace Queen was a
good winner last year and took a record of 2:09} at
Hartford in the first heat of a race in which she was
beaten in slower time. At Memphis the first of this
month she worked out with Shadow Chimes 2:06},
Mazette 2:04}, Fred S. Wedgewood 2:08} and Sphinx
S. 2:08} and beat the entire field in the first heat in
2:10. This is a very fast mile for any free-for-all pacer
at this time of the year, especially over any other than
a California track, and if Terrace Queen keeps good
she is liable to step to a very fast record at Detroit or
make some other pacer do it to beat her. Sir Albert
S. will have some very hot company in all the races he
starts in this year, but he ought to win a share of
nearly every purse at that, as he will not be outclassed
in any company unless it be the free-for-all.

New applications tor membership are being sent in
every week to the Golden Gate Park Driving Club and
there is every prospect that the entry list to the club's
Memorial Day races, which are to be held at the Oak-
land track, will be the largest it. the club's history.
There will be four races and eight or ten starters in
each unless some of the horses go wrong. The mem-
bers of this club are the most enthusiastic road drivers
of San Francisco and Oakland, and few of them but
keep a horse in readiness for a race or a brush on the
road at all seasons of the year. The club's way of
classifying horses always results in good contests and
there have been more head and head finishes at their
meetings than are usually seen in harness races. This
year the club proposes to charge 25 cents admission,
but will admit ladies free. The lover of harness rac-
ing who fails to attend the club's meeting at Oakland
on Memorial Day will miss a good day's sport.

Kentucky's Futurity for Three Year Olds.

Owners of three year old colts and fillies eligible to
Kentucky's Futurity for foals of 1899 are reminded
that a payment of $50 is due June 1st on each entry
expecting to start for the $14,000 remaining in this
richest of all harness races.

This payment ($50, June 1st), carries the entry until
thirty days (September 1st) before the race, when
owners will know exactly how much merit their entries
possess, and can then keep theengagement in force up
to the evening before the race by another payment of
$50, a total cost of less than one per cent of the purse.

The total amount of payments from this date is but
two and one half per cent of the money to be raced
for, and no owner can afford to leave out an eligible
colt or filly that is in the least promising at this time,
for many a -'world beater" has not developed speed
until later in the season.

In this issue the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders
Association also announces the renewal of its fixed
events, including the Transylvania, the Tennessee, the
Walnut Hall Cup and other rich purses for trotters
and pacers eligible to the various classes, entries to
close on Monday, June 2d, with E. W. Shanklin, Sec.
retary, at Lexington, Ky.

■

When all the announcements are made it will be
found that at least 6100,000 will be hung- up in purses
and stakes for harness horses in California this vear.

Tell your friends to stop at Hotel Rosslyn, Los
Angeles.

Notes and News.

■^

Breeders meeting at Fresno.

There are about thirty horses now working at the
Napa track and the trainers all speak in high, praise
of the manner in whick the track is kept. Lessee
Arthur Brown is sparing no pains or expenfe to make
the place attractive for horsemen.

The circuit is nearly complete.

Sunol 2:08}, is due to foal to The Earl 2:17, this
month.

Every association over East is receiving a big list of
entries this year.

The AUerton-Palo Alto Belle 2:221 yearling, Echo
Bell, has shown an eighth in 23.1 seconds.

A youngster by Direct Hal, a pure gaited trotter,
has recently been added to Ed. Geers' stable.

Julia M. by Zombro was purchased by W. L. Snow
of Hornelisville at the Cleveland sale. She brought
$2600.

Have only experienced judges, good timers with
accurate time pieces on the stand at all races in the
future.

The black pacer Domino by Rect 2:16} topped the
sale of California horses at the Blue Ribbon sale. He
brought $3400.

Fanny Putnam 2:13 will be raced on the North Pacific
Circuit this year. She has been in the breeding ranks
for the last two years.

The entries for the Terre Haute Matron stake of
$10,000 for foals of 1902 show a total of 297 foals, repre-
senting 130 nominators.

The Roger Williams $10,000 purse received a total
of seventy seven nominations. It is for 2:14 trotters
and will be decided at Providence.

Zombro 2:11 will be at Portland, Oregon, this sum-
mer instead of Salem, as first announced. He will
leave Los Angeles so as to arrive in Portland, June 1st.

Geo. H. Ketcham writes that the book of Cresceus
2:02} is full for the season. Silver Bow's book is nearly
so. Both have had many high class mares this year.

John Dickerson will do his best with Anaconda
2:01}, and that means, all else being equal, the "snake
horse" will beat any pacer sent against him in this
year of grace 1902.

G. J. Armstrong of Petaluma, has a new piece of
property in a colt by Meridian 2:12} out of his fast
pacing mare Gladys by Mamhrino Chief Jr., second
dam by Gen. McClellan.

Six hundred and seven orders for saddle horses were
booked in a day at the Durland riding academy last
week. This beat the Durland record and doubtless
beats the world's record.

Secretary Charles Downing, of the Indiana state
fair, is sending out the speed program for the fair
meeting, September 15 to 19. Trotters and pacers are
given eleven classes, with purses of $600 to $1000.

An effort is being made to hold a race meeting at
the Petaluma track on the 4th of July. Mr. Smith,
the lessee, is confident that by hanging up good purses,
all the horses necessary can be secured to fill three or
four events.

Mr. L. C. McCormick, of Portland, Oregon, has a
pair of McKinney stallions that he drives as a team.
They are very handsome and stylish and prompt
drivers. One is three, the other four, and they are
full brothers.

The Fresno county Supervisors have been offered
$1800 a year for two' years for the fair grounds and
race track, $2400 a year for the next three years and
$3000 a year for the last five years, provided a ten
years' lease is given.

The Monterey Board of Supervisors have agreed to
donate the Agricultural Association, District No. 7.
the sum of $500 for the advancement of the agricultural
interests in the county. The money will be used to
promote the annual fair.

As is its custom the Fasig-Tipton Company pub-
lished a very handsomely illustrated catalogue of the
horses in the B'ue Ribbon sale. There were nearly
100 half-tone engravings in the volume, which con-
tained 413 tabulated pedigrees.

Mr. J. B. Bonetti, writing from Santa Maria, Cal..
states that four trotters are being worked over the
track there. J. M. Scott has in his stricg, Edison, a
bay horse by Electricity out of Sallie Benton, Mabel,
a bay mare by Thompson 2:14.1 out of Lady Tiffany
by Gibraltar, and Maria, a bay mare by Thompson.
W. S. Lierly is working Leader 2:24} son of ElBentOD.

Medion, the handsomest two year old colt in the
Palo Alto consignment brought $1350 at Cleveland and
was purchased by James Golden. He is by Mendocino.
The two year old filly Rosaro by Dexter Prince out of
Sweet Rose by Electioneer, brought $1300.

Tom Sharkey had a lively time on the New York
Speedway recently with his pacer Merry Pat 2:174,
who ran away with him three times in the course of
the afternoon.

The chestnut daughter of Dexter Prince and Point
Lace, sent East by the Aptos Farm brought $2275 at
the Blue Ribbon sale. "Sandy" said she'd bring
more than $2000.

The era of high prices for trotting stallions closed in
1892. when Arion, Stamboul, Director, Conductor.
Ralph Wilkes, Constantine, Athel and Belsire were
sold for $25,000 or more each. In the following year
Sidney fetched $27,000 at auction, and the price paid
for him stood as the record from that day until $50,000
was paid for the black son of Mambrino King.

here is a colt up at Martin Carter's Nutwood Farm,
Bonnie Direct 2:05}, dam by Nutwood Wilkes,

The
by Bc_

second dam Lou G, dam of Bob Ingersoll 2:14|, by
Albert W. Mr. Carter says it is one of the grandest
youngsters yet foaled on his farm and he thinks of
calling him" The Big Four, as in his veins courses the
blood'of the "big four" strains of trotting blood, viz:
Wilkes, Director, Electioneer and Nutwood.

That the California harness racing season of 1902
will be ahead of anything seen here for several years
is pretty generally conceded. It is not expected that
our fastest records will be broken, but there will un-
doubtedly be more well contested races and larger
purses than for several years past. The programs
already advertised have caused several owners and
trainers to hesitate about going over the mountains.

Gold Brick is the name of a very fast pacer in Geo.
Spear's stable at Memphis, and he is a candidate for
Chamber of Commerce honors at Detroit. Spear -ays
his action is perfect, and that be has speed. Gold
Brick is eight years old, and is by Hal Parker 2:113
out of the dam of Peter Turney 2:11}.

Arab Girl, dam of the ex-queen of pacers, Bessie
Bonehill 2:05}, owned at Maple Leaf Farm, South
Charleston, O, has foaled twin fillies by Axius, son of
Axtell. Both are reported alive and doing well. This
is especially remarkable, as Arab Girl is twenty years
old.

A Kansas man once won $10 at a running meeting.
He has spent a thousand dollars since that day trying
to win another ten dollar bill. — Western Horseman.
California can beat that record. There are four or five
thousand men in this State that do that thing every
year.

The sister to Star Pointer 1:59}, now in Orange
county and in 'foal to John R. Gentry 2:00-1, will be
bred to that horse again this year, and in 1903 and
1904 she will be bred to Joe Patchen 2:01}. She is
owned by George. Campbell Brown, of Spring Hill,
Tenn.

John Moorhead, who went East at the time the
Palo Alto horses were shipped to the sale, will act as
agent for the celebrated Vita Oil all through the
Grand Circuit this year and will introduce that
sovereign remedy to all trainers who have not hereto-
fore given it a trial.

Frank Bogash 2:03} will not be raced this season as
his trainer, Alta McDonald, says he will not stand the
prep. Those two California whirlwinds Anaconda
2:01} and Coney 2:02 have raced as many fast heats as
any of the free for all brigade over East and are still
in the ring. Both are iron horses.

Glen Moore Stock Farm reports that Baron Dillon's
book has filled, with a total of 126 mares, 36 of which
have records ranging from 2:08} to 2:30. The farm
has been obliged to build twenty-four new box stalls to
accommodate the outside mares, and, if not sold, Baron
Dillon 2:12 will stand at a fee of $100 next season.
Proprietor E. S. Wells has had some tempting offers
for the horse recently.

Mr. P. R. Isenburg of Honolulu sent a pair of three
year olds to his Hawaiian home by the steamer Olym-
pic recently, that are not only well matched, but hand-
some and stylish and promise to be fast. One is a bay
gelding by Electus 20.522, dam by Elmo, second dam
by Carr's Mambrino, the other a bay filly bv Electus,
dam Algona Belle by Algona, sire of Flying Jib 2:04.
Electus is a grandson of Electioneer.

An unu6ual opportunity to get a fine pair of road-
sters. Speedy, stylish and well bred, or either a
promising track or a first class roadster performer is
offered in the lot of horses now on sale and inspection
at the corner of 5th avenue and 11th streets, East
Oakland (Clinton Station). These horses are all sound
and thoroughly broken and are by standard bred
sires. As they are all to be sold at a great sacrifice
one is sure of obtaining a rare bargain.

Here is an opportunity to get a great broodmare
cheap: the mare, Bob (Lady Opbir) that is the dam
of Klamath 2:07.1, Le Roi 2:i<and King Altamon' 2 .
is owned by a gentleman who is not in the breeding or
the racing business and wants to sell. He has in-
structed Mr. Durfee who has the mare in charge to
sell her, also her four year old bay filly by Guycesea
2:26. The filly is handsome and promising. Write
Mr. Durfee about them.

The millionaire club man of White Plains, New
York, who won $5000 by driving his horse Herald
fifteen miles in 54 minutes to a road buggy containing
an additional passenger, did not do anything startling
as far as accomplishing a great feat is concerned, as
there are horses in every village and bamlet in the
United States that can do as well. The result shows,
however, that there are suckers everywhere that are
ready to lose money against another man's game.

Twenty-seven trotters and thirty pacers, bred in
California, have entered the 2:10 list. The fastest of
the pacers is Anaconda 2:013, and Azote 2:04}, whose
record was made in ] 895, still leads the listof California
bred trotters. He is the lastest gelding. Directum
2:05} the fastest stallion and Dolly Dillon 2:07 the fast-
est mare of the trotters bred in this State. Anaconda,
Directly 2:03} and Lena N. 2:05} hold the' same relative
places among the pacers bred here. Will any of these
records be beaten "this year by California bred horses?

F. W. Perkins of Sacramento, recently purchased a
three year old stallion at Fresno from the breeder Mr.
Geo. L. Warlow. This colt is by Athadon 2:27 out of
Lustrine dam of Listerine 2:134 and Donatrine 2:264
by Onward, grandam Minnie Wren by Challenger.
S. V. Mitchell is handling him at the Sacramento
track.

Will Welch left Pleasanton this week for San Jose
where he will give the finishing touches to his string
before starting for the North Pacific circuit. He
worked Uncle John by Chas. Derby three heats around
2:15 last Saturday, the fastest in 2:14. In every heat
Uncle John paced the last quarter better than 32
seconds.

The Narragansett Park Association received a mag-
nificent list of entries for their two $10,000 stakes, the
"Park Brew 2:10 pace" and "Roger Williams 2:14
trot," to be raced for at the Providence Grand Circuit
meeting, there being 126 horses entered in the two
noted events. The association has engaged Albert H.
Merrill to give the word.

Mrs. E. W. Callendine, of Sacramento, has another
royally bred descendant of her famous mare Abbie
Woodnut. This is a handsome bay colt that was foaled
by Lady Keating last week. Lady Keating is by
Stam B. 2:11} out of Abbie Woodnut, dam of Diawood
2:11 and Abdine 2:19}. This colt is Lady Keating's
firstfoaland LadyKeating is the first of the daughters
of Stam B. to foal a colt. As the youngster is by Nut-
wood Wilkes he should be a good one to keep entire,
as he is related to about as much speed as any colt
foaled this year.

Fresno is to have a Driving Ciub, steps having been
taken during the past week to organize such an asso-
ciation. There are many road drivers in the Raisin
City and as many good horses owned there as in any
place of the same population in the United States.
Since the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders
Association announced its intention of holding its
meeting at Fresno there has been quite a revival of
interest in horse affairs there, and the suggestion of
Secretary Kelley on his last visit that a driving club
be organized, has been acted upon.

John A. McKerron 2:10 is reported in magnificent
form — larger and stronger than ever before. His stud
season will be limited, as he will be bred to but five
mares this spring — Irene Wilton 2:18}, Zarina Wilkes
2:19}. Ximena, dam of Sunland Belle 2:08}; Peko 2:11}
and Jennie Wilkeswood by Wilkeswood out of the dam
of Grattan Boy 2:08. McKerron is now the sire of six
foals, four of them being this year's arrivals, the latest
being out of Harry Darlington's Marguerite 2;14 by
Intrigue, and the late W. B. Fasig's Eloise 2:15, the
Cleveland Challenge Cup winner of 1 1

Geo. A. Kelly, who trained and raced Anzella 2:10},
to her record and sold her this spring to the Santa
Rosa Stock Farm, left this week for a trip to his old
home at Dayton, Washington, where he will look over
a bunch of colts and fillies owned by Thos. RoDan, who
bred Anzella. Mr. Kelly will probably purchase a few
two and three year olds and bring them to Pleasanton
to train in the hopes of getting another Anzella or
something as good. Before leaving, Mr. Kelly made
an entry in the Stanford Stake which closes June 1st,
of his bay yearling colt by McKinney 2:11} out of Bon-
silene 2:14} by Stamboul.

George M. Patchen 2:234 was a bright bay stallion
with black points and star in forehead, fully sixteen
hands high, a head inclined to coarseness, a well-
formed neck, strong, oblique shoulders, well rounded
body, with lengthy barrel, good back, strong loin,
long hips, powerful quarters, strong, low-set hocks,
legs clean, broad and flinty, feet of good size and per-
fectly sound. He was bred by H. F. Sickles. Mon-
mouth county, N. J., got by Cassius M. Clay, son of
Henry Clay, and foalei in 1849. The dam of George
M. Patchen was a light chestnut mare, got by a two
year old colt called Head 'em by imp. Trustee, his dam
being a daughter of American Eclipse. The dam of
this chestnut mare was a large, coarse animal, whose
breeding has never been traced.

Two Good Ones by Nutwood Wilkes.

While at Pleasanton last Saturday. Mr. Martin Car-
ter, proprietor of the Nutwood Stock Farm at Irving-
ton, sold two youngsters by his great stallion Nut-
wood Wilkes 2:16J to F. Gommet, of t e Olympic Club
Stables of this city. Mr. Gommet paid $2000 for the
two and at the prices at which good prospects are held
in California, he has secured a couple of rare bargains.
Verona, the bay four year old filly, is one of the pur-
chases, and there are few more promising young trot-
ters to be found anywhere. She took a three year old
record last year of 2:27 in a race with aged horses at
Stockton, and has filled out wonderfully since then
and is now a very rugged and strong going mare.
She is bred in the purple, being out of a mare by Call
fornia Nutwood, second dam by the Grand Moor, and
then traces to the Williamson 's Belmont thorough-
bred family, one of the stoutest and best thoroughbred
crosses ever introduced into the trotting breed. With
two crosses of Nutwood, the greatest of all broodmare
sires, she should be a great mare for the stock farm
when her racing days are over, The other purchase
by Mr. Gommet is a two year old that has attracted so
much attention at Pleasanton by his way of going and
his great natural speed, that the cognomen of Little
Jib has been bestowed upon him by the railbirds from
his resemblance to Flying Jib 2:04, the pride of Pleas-
anton. Little Jib is by Nutwood Wilkes out of Brown
Line by Direct Line, second dam by Grand Moor. He
is one of the sweetest gaited pacers ever trained at
Pleasanton and showed a quarter in 34 seconds very
handily last Saturday. Mr. Gommet held his watch
on the little fellow and then hunted up Mr. Carter to
get a price on him. After the sale was made Mr. Gom-
met concluded to leave both these horses in William
Cecil's charge for some time as they are doing so well.
Verona will probably be raced on the California circuit
this year and the two year old will be given easy train-
ing for a while and then let up on until next season.

Common Sense from "Columbus.1

A few years ago the exportation of horses was un-
known in this country. We were buyers, and all the
foreign countries that are now importiog were sendiog
horses into the United States. It is held that the tide
in the exportation of horses will never turn. This
nation can produce enough horses to supply the mar-
kets of the world, and at prices which cannot be dupli-
c ited elsewhere upon the globe. Take the business at
Kansas City, Mo., last year. Over $25,000,000 worth
of horses and mules were handled at that market, a
larger per cent of which business was transacted with
foreign nations. Western-bred horses may be found
in every country in Europe, as well as in Asia, Africa
and the islands of the Pacific. The future appears
very promising to breeders of American horses: not
rose-tinted and violet perfumed, perhaps, but full of
good business prospects. Horses must be produced in
much the same manner as cattle, or rather, for much
the same sort of demand. Cattle men do not expect
to sell every bullock to some New York or Pittsburg
butcher for Christmas beeves. The trade in this line
of cattle is limited. They aim to produce the sort of
cattle demanded every day in the year. So it must be
with the producer of horses for market. He need not
expect to sell his five year old gelding or mare to some
successor of Robert Bonner at $30,000 to $50,000. He
must produce a horse that can be sold every day in
the year: one that the general market can make use
of to good advantage. And he must arrange his busi-
ness in such a manner that he can turn off a number
of matured horses each season: horses that are sound,
free from wire-cuts and well broken. It costs no more
to raise such horses in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Missouri, Colorado, the Dakotas and other Western
States than it does to produce a bullock suitable for
export trade or domestic dress beef trade. The horse
will outsell the steer every day in the week. — Western
Horseman.

An Oakwood Park Colt Brings $3000.

Readers of the Breeder and Sportsman have
read in these columns occasionally of a four year old
black colt at Oakwood Park Stock Farm that was
showing phenomenal speed at the pacing gait. This
colt was foaled in 1898 and is by Steinway out of
Lunado by Electioneer, second dam by St. Clair 16,675.
He is a full brother to the mare Sylvanway 2:10} that
made her record over East in 1898. He is called Dark-
way and is one of the most promising pacers ever bred
on this celebrated farm. Several Eastern parties have
looked him over during the past year, and two weeks
ago Mr. D. M. Shanks of North Yakima, Washington,
offered $2500 for him after driving the colt a quarter
in thirty seconds. Last week Dr. Dunleavy of Denver,
Colorado, came to California and went to Oakwood
Park at the request of Mr. Ed Gaylord of Denver to
look at Darkway. He saw him driven a quarter close
to thirty seconds, the last eighth of which was in 141
seconds, and after examining him for soundness paid
the price asked — $3000 — and the colt is now the prop-
erty of Mr. Gaylord. He will be shipped to Denver
to-day and will be prepared for the races this year.
Darkway will make Lunado a member of the Great
Broodmare list before the year is out and ought to

beat 2:10 handily.

The T^-o Year Old Futurity.

Owners of two year o'd trotters and pacers eligible
to Kentucky's Futurity for foals of 1900 should bear
in mind that on June 1st a payment of $25 falls due,
which payment carries them within thirty days (Sept.
1st) of the race when it comes to be definitely ascer-
tained whetherthe entry is sufficiently good to warrant
further payments, which are light and but a small
percentage of the amount to be raced for.

Nominators will recall that the amount of this purse
is guaranteed no less than $20,000 by the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Association, of which amount
$5000 is set aside for two year old trotters, and $1000
for two year olds that pace.

Owners can ill afford to neglect this payment, for
when once dropped the entry cannot be reinstated for
this division of this most celebrated race, and every
colt, filly or gelding that is eligible and in the least
promising at this time should be kept in.

This issue also announces the renewal of the fixed
events for Kentucky's great trotsin October, including
the Transylvania, the McDowell, the Tennessee and
other liberal purses for various classes, both trotters
and pacers, entries to close on Monday, June 2d, with
E. W. Shanklin, Secretary, at Lexington, Ky.

A Memphis Matinee.

That the California horses going East this year will
have to trot and pace very fast to win on the Grand
Circuit looks very probable. On May Day there were
matinee races at Memphis, Tennessee, or rather "work-
outs'" would be the more accurate term, as the events
were not actual races. The time made was correctly
taken, however, and shows that the horsts at Mem-
phis are as well advanced in their work as those here
in California. The following summary will be inter-
esting to owners who have entries in the same events
on the Grand Circuit where these Memphis fliers are
entered:

Saddle Horses Converting Russell Railey.

[Coach and Saddle.]

Russell Railey, familiarly known as "Russ," who
has been selling some good saddlers in Chicago recently
is one of the characters of the Blue Grass region of
Kentucky. There is no better horseman living, and
he can make it win in any department of the horse
business. But he is especially in love with the saddle
horse end of the game, and at that has, in partnership
with his brother, scored his greatest successes. It is
but natural that he should believe the Kentucky gaited
saddler to be the finest animal in the world. And the
writer is in absolute harmony with him on that score.

When the English craze struck America, and Ihe
demand came tor "walk, trot and canter" saddlers,
"Russ" Railey was inclined to fight. He had built up
a reputation as an educator of saddlers that had put
him a good many laps ahead of the head of the pro-
cession, and he was rightfully proud of it. His horses,
graduates of his school, were in demand in all sections
at great prices, and those who bought and rode them
always felt that they had gotten the worth of their
money.

One day, before "Russ" had discovered that there
was a new fad afloat, a gentleman in search of a saddle
horse visited his place. He was shown the best in the
land, of their kind, and there was more or less par-
donable pride on Railey's part, in the showing. Im-
agine his astonishment, therefore, when the visitor in.,
formed him that he did not want any fancy gaits, that
they would not be tolerated in the parks by the East-
ern cities, and that no gentleman would allow himself
to be seen riding horses gaited as were those he had
been shown. He then explained that he wanted a
horse educated to the three gaits — walk, trot and
canter.

Whereupon the pent-up indignation of "Russ'»
Railey was unloosed. "Walk, trot and canter!" he
exclaimed. "Anydahned hoss kin do that, it don>
take no education, s-uh. These hosses I've been showin*
you, sub, have been taught. They ah' intelligent or
they couldn't have learned what they know, suh. It's
a pleah-suhe to ride one of them, suh. I wouldn't give
one 0' them, suh, foh a cah load of hosses that can
only go three gaits." But with all bis argument he
could not make a sale. Fortunately that did not cause
him to [alter.

He soon learned that there was a demand for the
saddlers he despised, and so he went to work to supply
the demand. How well he succeeded any resident of
Kentucky can tell you. He brought to bear on the
business his superb knowledge of horses, and while he
has never lost his market for the Kentucky-gaited
kind, he has kept abreast of the times and has sold
thousands of the other brand.

His achievments in the field of fast road pairs would
occupy a lot of space in the telling, and when his his-
tory is finally written it will show that as an all-round
horseman he has rarely, if ever, had an equal. As an
entertainer, when properly drawn out, he is in a class
by himself. Not to know him intimately, is not to
know Kentucky people at all.

Denver's Fast Pacer.

Hotel Rosslyn, Los Angeles, American and Euro-
pean plans.

Reports of wonderful speed shown by the pacer
Roberts 2:091 when badly handicapped by weight,
comes from Denver, Col. It is stated upon good
authority that Roberts pulled his driver and another
party whose weight, combined with that of the vehicle,
was not less than five hundred pounds, and the time
of the quarter was 3V{ seconds. It was not a pneu-
matic tired vehicle at that. Three expert timers of
unquestioned veracity held their watches on the horse,
and all agreed that the time of the quarter was as
stated above. Considering the weight that the horse
pulled, the performance is one of the most remarkable
on record. Roberts is a chestnut gelding bred by
James C. Wallace, Denver, Col., and foaled in 1891.
He came out in 1897, won several races, and took a
record of 2:111. The next year he reduced his record
to 2:091 at Denver, Col., June 16th. He was got by
Arragon, and is the only one by that horse which has
yet taken a record in standard time. His dam was by
Ned Forest, and his second dam, Zulo Zong, was a
thoroughbred daughter of Young Lexington. This
Young Lexington was by Copec, a son of the noted
race horse Lexington. The_ dam of Copec was by
imp. Yorkshire, and his second dam was the famous
broodmare Picayune, that Bruce mentions in his Stud
Book as one of the best broodmares in America. Her
sire was Medoc by American Eclipse, and her dam was
by Sir William of Transport. Arragon, the sire of
Roberts 2:091, was by Abe Downing 2:20|. The latter
was by Joe Downing, and be by Alexander's Edwin
Forrest out of the famous Lizzie Peebles by old Wag-
ner. He is certainly well fortified with race-winning
thoroughbred blood as well as good trotting blood. —

A Great Mile at Memphis.

Zephyr, the $9000 filly by Zombro 2:11, is proving
that she is worth the money paid for her by Mr. J. C.
McKinney last year, and if she does not get too many
fast workouts before the racing season begins, will be
the sensational four year old of 1902. Down at the
Memphis track on May Day, there was matinee racing
for the edification of about two thousand people who
had collected to see the horses work together. It was
workout day, and by arrangement the horses were
classified according to their speed and given two heats.
The results were a series of surprises to all present,
but the sensation of the day was the mile made by
Zephyr. In this workout five trotters started, the
others being Dormeath, The Jeweler, Ida Highwood
2:13J and Louise Jefferson 2:17}. The first heat was in
2:14:1 with Dormeath in the lead, The Jeweler second,
Jephyr third, Ida Highwood fourth and Louise Jeffer-
son fifth. In the second heat Shafer let Zephyr step
out when the quarter pole was reached and she trotted
the middle half in 1:02}, a rate of speed that called
forth exclamations of astonishment on all sides as it
was not thought there was a four year old trotter in
the country that could show such a flight of speed at
this time of the year. It did not bother Zephyr how-
ever and she finished the mile in 2:12 handily and with
plenty of reserve speed. The turf writer, Gerald
Rex of Buffalo, on reading the press dispatches the
following morning, wrote to the American Horse
Breeder as follows:

"The press dispatches this morning announced the
result of the opening of the matinee racing season at
Memphis, Tenn.. yesterday, and a sensational opening
it was. But of the terrific miles paced and trotted, the
early date considered, the greatest was that of the four
year old filly Zephyr, who trotted the second heat of
her race iD 2:12. It shows that she is a filly such as
one sees but once in a decade or more, and if the mile
did not hurt her I look for her to be the sensation of
the year. The half mile was trotted in 1:02}, a rate of
speed that seems utterly impossible at this season.
Naturally, I am interested in thi9 filly, having pur-
chased her for J. C. McKinney, proprietor of the Ter-
race Farm, Titusville, Pa., just twelve months ago,
paying $9000 for her. And on the day she trotted in
2:12, I had just closed a deal whereby Mr. McKinney
became the owner of her dam, Gazelle 2:1H, the pur-
chase being made from A. H. Miller of this city.

"Gazelle is a black mare, foaled 1891, bred by Ben
Davis, San Bernardino, Cat., sired by Gossiper 2:14},
son of Simmons 2:28; dam Gypsy (dam of Ed Winship
2:16}) by Gen. Booth 2:30J, son of George M. Patchen
30; second dam Echo Belle (grandam of Conn 2:15}) by
Echo, son of Hambletonian 10. She made her turf
debut as a two year old, trotting to a record of 2:29};
lowered this to 2:16} as a three year old, being one of
the best colts of that year on the Coast; raised a foal
as a four year old, and in her five year old form reap-
peared on the turf and lowered her record to 2:1U,
beating the best trotters of that year on the Coast.
So well did the late Tom Keating think of her, she
being a member of his stablethat year, that heshipped
her over the mountains to compete in the classic Tran-
sylvania. Some ten days before the race she trotted
three heats over the Lexington track from 2:08} to
2:09J, but climatic changes dulled the edge of her
speed, and when the race was called she had lost her
form and was defeated.

"Gazelle has raised three foals by three different
sires. Her first foal is the pacing horse Zaloch 2:10}
by McKinney 2:11}. This horse paced to his record as
a five year old, and that same season forced Hetty G.
to step in 2:06 in a third heat to beat him. An offer of
$10,000 was refused for him the past season. Her next
foal was the filly Zephyr, whose performance at Mem-
phis stamps her as one of the best trotters in sight,
while her third foal is now a three year old sired by
Titus, son of Director. The price paid for Gazelle was
$5000, and at this figure she is a bargain. She will be
bred to Mr. McKinney's stallion Beauseant, brother of
Boreal 2:15}, or The Invincible, brother of Dare
Devil 2:09.

"A report was sent out the last week that the trot-
ting mare Eula Mac (3) 2:17£ by McKinney 2:11}, dam
Balance All 2:29} by Brigadier, owned by Louis Streu-
ber, Erie, Pa., had been purchased by E. J. Tranter,
of this city. The report was premature, however, and
the deal fell through. The parties had some corre-
spondence relative to the purchase of the mare, but
could not agree on price, and the mare still remains
the property of Mr. Streuber. Eula Mac is in the
stable of W. L. Snow at Hornellsville, and will be raced
through the Grand Circuit thisseason. Mr. Streuber's
faith in her is unlimited, he having wagered that she
will beat 2:10 this season."

For Freedom, owned jointly by Mr. G. L. Waring
and Capt. Tom Merry of Los Angeles, foaled a colt by
Bliss Rucker on Saturday last. The colt died that
same night and, the little mare died on the Monday
following at noon. She was a full sister to Yankee
Doodle, who won $1250 in 1895, $3070 in 1896, $2925 in
1897 and $705 in 1898. The Captain is out about $200
for his share of the business.

Opej-Air Horse Shows.

That there is much merit in the horse show is evi-
denced from the great growth of that institution in
recent years. While the patronage of society has
done much to place the horse show on the high pin-
nacle of success which it now enjoys, there must of
necessity have been a great popular support or the
modern horse show would not have achieved its pres-
ent high standing. That which has commanded the
support and patronage of the wealthy social circle and
the admiration of the rank and file of healthy, sport-
loving Americans has bien the horse itself.

Each successive show has had an educational effect,
with the result that those who originally admired the
horse have had their regard for the beautiful equine
broadened and intensified. On the other hand, those
who took but a passing interest in the horse, who
went to the show because it was the proper thing or
from curiosity, have developed a truly genuine inter-
est in man's best four-footed friend. And this process
of education is year by year adding to the ranks of
horse-show exhibitors and horse-show spectators.

Fortunately for the best interests of the horse him-
self, the promoters of the show are not those who pri-
marily interested themselves from motives of financial
gain. As a rule the directors of horse shows are gen-
tlemen who took up the horse show because of their
love for the horse and from the hope that the show
would prove to be a means of interesting others who
took but a slight interest in the horse. Then there
was the hope that a friendly rivalry between ex-
hibitors, especially between those who interested
themselves in the breeding of horses, would result in
comparisons which would induce an attempt at breed-
ing more perfect specimens. In this respect the
results have more than filled anticipations, for breeders
of all types of horses are paying more attention to the
individual. Breeding has become more of a science,
if that much-abused word can be applied to the breed-
ing of horses.

In this particular the breeders of the American
trotter have been particularly benefited. The horse
show has developed a new field for the trotter. It has
been proven that the American trotter can out-act and
out-style other types of horses in the heavy harness
class. Without going into detail it suffices to prove
this point: That the trotting bred Lord Brilliant is
the winner of over four hundred ribbons, a task
accomplished by no other breed of horse in the same
length of time, if, indeed, the record has been par-
alleled, which is doubtful. The result of all this is
that the breeder of to-daj instead of breeding merely
for speed has adopted for his motto "strength, beauty
and speed," and this is meant to include style and
quality, symmetry in conformation and style in action.
In the trotter which has speed all these qualities do
not detract from race horse ability, and if be has not,
or when his racing days are over, these qualifications
mean a great deal from a financial standpoint if the
breeder wishes to sell. Not only is the typical trotting
horse of to-day a game, fast and consistent race horse,
but he is the typical show horse in light and heavy
leather and often under saddle.

But while the breeder of the trotter has enlarged the
field from which he may expect to receive a return, a
great good has resulted from these shows. The
breeders of different types realize that there are good
points in all breeds and that to-day there is a field of
usefulness for the best from all; and as a rule the
breeder of to-day has a respect for the op:nions of
those gentlemen who are breeding to a different type
from the one which occupies his attention. And all
this means a new era for lihe horse. Since the days of
the stage coach there have been periodical scares that
the horse would be superseded by the locomotive, the
bicycle or the automobile. The intelligent breeder of
to-day, however, realizes that the horse is more
strongly intrenched in the hearts of the English
9peaking races than heretofore, and, knowing this, are
extending their breeding operations on progressive
lines. Never in the history of the world has so much
money been invested In the horse, and this new era of
the horse is just begun. — Horseman.

How to Get Extreme Speed.

Heir at-Law Dead.

I met Joe Rea a few years ago, he of the form of
Apollo and the face of a Greek god, writes "Hawley"
of the Kentucky Stock Farm, and in speaking of
the youngsters that had bten in hie charge during
the past season he dwelt at length on the filly Miss
Previous, that trotted a quarter in 33} seconds. He
told me that had he dared take the risk he could have
driven her in 32 seconds, as she trotted for him an
eighth in 15A seconds. This filly comes nearer being
the acme of breeding than any trotter ever seen, and
her wonderful speed came to her without the usual
amount of drilling that so many youngstei-9 undergo!
in fact, she trotted a quarter in 35 seconds the first
time she was ever asked to speed at that distance. I
have always believed that the two-minute trotter will
be the one that is endowed with great natural speed,
a flight of which will be seen when very young, as, for
instance, that of the filly in question, for speed that is
natural can be carried without constant forcing and
training in increasing the flight. Horses with great
natural speed are, as a rule, of frictionlessgait, and on
that account can carry their best speed with less effort
than is necessary when the action is labored. Take
for example the stallion Cresceus, that year after year
has improved until he has become the champion.
Cresceus was not a natural colt trotter in the same
sense as the filly Miss Previous, for although he was a
fast colt, he could not as a yearling begin to trot a
quarter in 35 seconds the first time of asking. His
speed has been increased from year to year by train-
ing until now that he has attained such a tremendous
turn of it and has the muscular development and lung
power to carry it, can accomplish the difficult task of
beating the world's record. Cresceus had a greater
brush for one hundred yards as a two year old than as
a yearling. This increased each year, until without
doubt during the past season he could trot an eighth
at a higher rate of speed than at any time of his life.
In the case of the really natural trotter, in the sense
that a thoroughbred is a natural runner, the filly Miss
Previous being an example of possessing natural speed,
I have always thought that such a one endowed in
addition to her wonderful speed and perfect action,
with great muscular development, and, of course, the
proper lung power would accomplish more than any
other trotter has done; in fact, equal the two-minute
mark. A filly like this, if properly matured, ?ould do
with little effort what most trotters would be forced
to the limit to accomplish. I believe that from the
great young stallions of to-day, when mated with the
fast, highly formed trotting mares that have been
developed during the past decade will come a type of
trotters that will be far superior to that which has
resulted from old-fashioned breeding. Many of the
greatest trotters of to-day, Cresceus among others,
are bred in oid-fashioned lines; therefore it is reason-
able to suppose that the results of further advance-
ment in breeding will be infinitely greater thaD those
of breeding in its more primitive state. Doubtless the
results of the more advanced ideas in breeding would
have already been more apparent if precocious young-
sters, which are nothing more than natural trotters,
were not so frequently knocked out by overwork
prompted by a desire on the part of the driver for
notoriety.

Heir-at-Law 2:05}, the fastest son of MambrinoKing,
by the records, and one of the most famous young
sires in the country, died at the farm of A. G. Dan-
forth & Son, Washington, 111., April 27. As a trotter
Heirat-Law took a record of 2:12 and later made one
oi the most brilliant of campaigns at the pacing gait,
taking a record of 2:05}. As a sire he was an extra-
ordinary horse, having 18 in the standard list at 14
years of age, nearly all of which had records below
2:20, including PassiDg Belle 2:08}, Scapegoat 2:1 1J,
Jack D. 2:11$, Equity 2:12}, Elsinora 2:12J, Judge-at-
Law 2:15.',, and Lasso 2:12* Had this lion-hearted son
of Mambrino King lived to the usual age attained by
horses, he would have undoubtedly been the greatest
sire among the sons of Mambrino King. His dam was
Estabella. by Alcantara, while his grandam was Anna-
bel by George Wilkes, and this double Wilkes cross
seems to have been the most successful nick for Mam-
brino King, as demonstrated by Heir-at-Law and his
brother, Prince Regent, that also met an untimely
death.

B. A. Chilson, writing to the Breeder and Sports-
man from Butte, Montana, says: "The prospects here
for a good meeting are very favorable. There are
about 125 horses here already and the track is in fine
condition. The weather is quite pleasant."

A writer in the London Live Stock Journal gives
some good advice on the care of horses: He says: No
breeder is likely to succeed if he takes up a breed
which by constitution or other natural peculiarities is
unadapted to exist upon th6 soil or in the climate
where the farm is situated. This is a fact which all
experienced men will corroborate, but many a beginner
has discovered it when too late; and another common
mistake which is made is attempting to put more
animals on the land than it can carry. If every acre
of meadow-land is in constant use the herbage will
resent the liberty, and the grass will not grow so
plentifully, and its quality will depreciate if the ground
is stained by horses. Yet many men who would be
horrified at the idea of an over-crowded stable or
straw yard are the chief offenders in the way of ruin-
ing their meadow land, an observation which applies
with additional emphasis to inexperienced breeders.
A few horses well done are worth a lane full of half-
starved ones, and it must never be forgotten that if
size is desired the in-foal mares and young stock must
be well supplied with nutritious food of good quality,
but by this it is not intended to convey the advice that
pampering is at all necessary; on the contrary, it Is
the worst thing possible for breed ing stock of all kinds.
A fat mare is not so likely to hold to .the horse as one
in fair condition, whilst foals of yearlings which are in-
judiciously stuffed are sure to suffer in the long run
for the tax inflicted on their constitution. At the
same time a foal should never be permitted to stand
still, much less go back, for if it once becomes less
thrifty the chances are that its growth will bo retarded
for months, just at the very time when it should be
growing. Consequently, when a young one looks poor,
immediate means should be adopted to ascertain the
cause, and when this is discovered it must be checked.
In the majority of cases the milk will be found either
scanty oi of poor quality, and possibly a change of
pasture may pull the dam together. If not, and the
foal is a valuable one, a certain amount of artificial
milk must be supplied the foal. Cow's milk slightly
diluted with water, about one-fifth of the latter to
four-fifths milk, is a proportion which many owners
approve of; but in this, as in other things, cases differ,
and should the foal continue poor the beginner will do
well to seek professional advice.

LOS ANGELES TRACK is for lease for a term of
years. It is one of the best tracks in America,
and can be made the leading winter training track of
the world. See advertisement.

(f-TArvrv IX PURSES is theamounthungup bythe
M^' \J\J\J Napa Association for harness horses, in-
stead of $6300 as stated in the advertisement. Besides
the regular purses, which foot up $6800, a purse of $200
is offered for district two year olds.

THE THIRD PAYMENT of $25 each on entries in
the Stallion Stake for thoroughbred foals of 1900
to be run by two year olds at the State Fair this year'
is due and payable June 1st. This will be the first
running of this stake and it will be one of the chief
events of the fair this year.

TEN DOLLARS WILL BE DUE June 1st on your
entry in the Stanford Stake to be trotted at the
State Pair next year. Entries to this stake closed
June 1st last year. If you made one, don't let the first
day of next month go by without sending this pay
ment to Secretary Geo. W. Jackson at Sacramento.

NAPA will give a $200 district trot for two year olds
this year. It is for colts owned in the counties of
Solano, Sonoma and Napa and entries will close June
loth. This is an excellent idea. Every district asso-
O'.ation should have district colt stakes and a few dis-

\i/OODLAND'S PROGRAM is announced this
VV week. Over $6000 is given for harness races,
and the classes are well arranged. It is hardly nec-
essary to advise horse owners to enter at Woodland.
They all go there every year and always want to go
again. It is one of the best meetings held on the
Coast and one of the best attended. This year the
Directors are trying to excel all former efforts and
they will make every possible arrangement that wil
tend to convenience horsemen and the public. Read
Woodland's program. Entries close July 1st.

DON'T OVERLOOK the fact that the entries to the
Stanford Stake for foals of 1901, to be trotted at
the California State Fair in 1904, close June 1st next.
Be sure to enter your trotting bred yearlings in this
stake. It is cheap, and promises to be a rich one to
the owner. All foals of 1901 eligible. Enter them. It
adds to their value, advertises your farm or stallion,
and puts you in the way of winning a large stake. A
Special Stake will be opened in 1904 for colts entered
originally in this stake, and Occident Stake of 1904,
that develop a pacing gait, to be contested for as three
year olds in 1904. Your colt entered in the Occident
Stake of 1904 is eligible for entry in this stake. Send
for entry blanks to Geo. W. Jackson, Secretary. First
payment to enter, only $5.00.

and the date set for the week of September 30th to
October 4th. The first announcement of stakes was
published last week and will soon be followed with a
complete program. The big feature of this season's
racing in California will be the $2000 stake for trotters
of the 2:24 class to be decided at this meeting. Horse-
men are already speculating on winning it and the
chances are that a big field will start for the money.
If the Breeders association gets a liberal entry to this
race it isintended to increase the size of the stake next
year and make it a fixed annual event. It is not be-
yond reason to predict that The California will soon
be increased to $5000 and be as sensational for coast
horses as are the M. & M., the Transylvania, the
Charter Oak and other big races on the Grand Circuit.
The Raisin City Stake for 2:20 pacers, with a value of
$1000 this year, is another event that may be made an
annual one. The Fresno meeting will come off at just
the proper season when the horses will be at their best.
The District Fair will beheld during the same week of
the Breeders meeting, which should cause Fresno to be
crowded with people during that time.

THE FREE-FOR-ALL CLASSES are recognized
by the Ventura Agricultural Association in its
program of races published this week for its meeting,
which opens August 6th. One thousand dollars is
hung up for the free for-all trotters and the same
amount for the free-for-all pacers. There are eight
purses of $500 each for slower classes, four for trotters
and four for pacers, and the runners have seven purses
ranging from $200 to $250. This is the greatest pro-
gram ever given by the Ventura association, and shows
that the 31st district does not intend to play second
fiddle to any district in the State. The program
should draw a very large list of entries and doubtless
will. Entries will close July 1st with Secretary T. H.
Merry at Oxnard. No other association in California
has offered so much money for the free-for-all classes
this year, and both races should fill.

A GOOD PLAN for every district or other associa-
tion giving harness racing in California this year
to adopt, is to follow the rules closely in everything
pertaining to racing, and insist that every owner and
trainer do likewise. Nine-tenths of all the trouble
kicked up in this world is caused by misunderstandings
in regard to the terms of agreements or contracts,
and a majority of the cases that go to the boards of
appeals and review of the two parent trotting associa-
tions, would never have been filed had the members
and the owners thoroughly understood the conditions
of the races and lived up to them. Every secretary
should have a copy of the rules and make an effort to
see that in the matter of entries these rules are fol-
lowed, rejecting everyone that does not comply there-
with. The judges in the stand should be men who
are conversant with them and who will insist that
they be enforced, and the association directors should
bend every effort to the same end. Where rules are
followed strictly, and all parties treated alike, there
will be few complaints from horsemen or the public,
and none from those who are fair minded.

A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS are in
sight already for those who have harness horses
to race in California this year, and there is more com-
ing. Associations were very slow in getting started
with their announcements, but now that they have
begun to show evidence of life, allare getting into line,
and but very few of the 46 districts in the State will
permit their appropriations to be unused. California
has nover had better prospects for bounteous crops
and good times, so the gate receipts should be large
this season, if good programs are arranged and prop-
erly advertised. Theownersof breeding farms should
enter their horses liberally this year, as by so doing
they will show their confidence in the speed of their
horses and the future of the business. If every knocker
will quit knocking and every booster get in and
boost a little, we will have the greatest season of
harness racing seen in years. Very few associations
will permit bookmaking on trotting or pacing races,
which will be a great step forward. There are
few crackerjacks in training, but this should make the
entry lists all the larger.

High Prices for High Steppers.

A new high water mark in the way of average prices
bid at a sale of carriage horses has been set in New
York. April 25th, in the American Horse Exchange,
New York City, the horses owned by Mr. W. L.
Elkins, Philadelphia, were closed out at auction, the
death of W. L. Elkins, Jr., having, it is reported, in
duced his father to dispose of his horses. A tremen-
dous crowd of the members of Gotham's swelldom
packed the Exchange and the bidding was of the
snappiest order. In fact spectators agree that they
never witnessed such keen competition for high step-
ping horses. The thirteen made the reported average
of $1819. The highest bid was $6200, made by H. K.
Bloodgood for the gelding Billy Finch. The same
gentleman bid $4000 for the brown gelding Foraker
and $2500 for Thunderbolt. William C. Whitney bid
$4750 for Lenox and $1800 for American Star. Other
prices ranged down to $750.

The horses were of the high stepping sort, almost all
of them show horses of more or less celebrity and quite
a few of them winners in the best company. The
prices reported indicate that the demand for hand-
some heavy harness horses is better than it has ever
been. It is not at all likely that heavy harness horses
of the right sort will ever be cheap in this country
again. There is a tremendous shortage in the supply
and once having become accustomed to using them
the rich men of the great cities will never again do
without them. The man who succeeds in turning out
acceptable material has his path blazed to affluence if
not to wealth. At the annual sale held in New York
by Ticheror & Co., Chicago, thirty carriage horses
are reported to have sold for an average of $1320 each.
Cardiff and Wales, brown geldings, are named as the
highest-priced pair at $8050.

Not the Only Pebble.

Corona, Cal., May 14, 1902.

Breeder and Sportsman: I notice in your issue

of May 10th, that Geo. T. Beckers calls the turn on

the Occident Stake for this year and next; and that

be thinks it will be won this year by a three year old

Zombro, and next year by his Stam B. Mr. Beckers

must not forget that there are other Zombro colts and

fillies, and some of them are entered in next year's

Occident. I have a two year old Zombro filly, Zoe

Patchen, dam Last Chance by Mambrino Patehen 58,

the dam of Nola trial 2:23 as a three year old with

three months' work and Belle Patchen 2:16 one sea

• Hi's work, which Mr. Beckers might do well to keep

his eye on, for if she does not show her heels to his

Stam B.. he will know that his filly has been in a race

at least. Yours truly,

S. W. LOCKETT.

FRESNO IS THE PLACE where the Pacific Coast
Trotting Horse Breeders Association will hold its
meeting this year. This has been fully decided upon

A Great Mare by Trenton.

The Sydney Cup, one of the classic races of the
Australian Jockey Club meeting, was this year won by
Wakeful, easily the best race mare of the south conti-
nent. She carried 133 pounds to victory and defeated
a field of twenty horses, running the two miles in 3:28,
which is the fastest time in the history of the race by
three seconds.

Stromboli, who raced in California, won the event in
1892, while Darebin, a horse imported from Australia
by J. B. Haggin, was the winner in 1883. Wakeful is
by Trenton, a son of Musket. In nineteen starts
against big fields, Wakeful finished first no less than
twelve times, was second four and third two times.—

Vallejo is on the Map.

The navy yard town of Vallejo, where the Solano
County Agricultural Society has one of the best tracks
in California, will he on the main circuit this year, and
an excellent program of harness racing has already
been announced by Secretary W. T. Kelly. Nearly
five thousand dollars in purses are provided for the
harness brigade with the following classes: the 2:30
class trotters are given $700, the 2:25 and the 2:20 class
pacers $500 each. These are declaration stakes, and
horses must be named June 16th, at the time entries
are made. There are also four nomination purses all
for trotters. These are the 2:24 class for whicn $600
is hung up. and the 2:19, 2:15 and 2:12 classes which
are for $500 each. These close June 16th, but horses
not to be named until August 1st. Besides these
stakes there are three races with purses of $200 each
for horses owned in the district comprising Napa and
Solano counties, and a race for gentlemen's roadsters
owned in Vallejo and Benicia.

The announcement by the Vallejo association assures
a continuous circuit of ten weeks harness racing with
convenient transportation facilities. The circuit will
open at Vallejo, August lltb, Napa, which is only fif-
teen miles distant, opens August 18th, the Golden
Gate Fair at Oakland, is to be held the following week,
Woodland comes next with a week's racing, and the
California State Fair follows Woodland with its regu-
lar two weeks meeting. Stockton will give a fair and
race meeting during the week after the State Fair,
and then the Pacific Coast Trottiog Horse Breeders
Association will hold its annual week of racing, having
engaged the Fresno track for its meeting. Bakersfield
comes next with a big program of races, and the-cir-
cuit will close at Los Angeles on October 18th. This
is the main or principal circuit. In addition, there
will be a northern and a southern circuit in both of
which purses ranging from $200 to $500 will be offered.
The outlook for a stable of trotters and pacers is better
in California than for years past.

Vallejo being the first meeting there should be a
large entry list and it will afford the opportunity for
every trainer to tost his horses in actual races. The
official advertisement will appear next week.

Breeders Meeting at Fresno.

It has been fully decided that the Pacific Coast
Trotting Horse Breeders Association will hold its fall
meeting at Fresno during the week of September 29th
to October 4th. This is the week immediately follow-
ing Stockton's fair and will precede the Bakersfield
meeting. At the same time the Breeders meeting is
being given the Fresno County Agricultural Associa-
tion will give a district fair, at which an effort will be
made to put on display the finest exhibit of Fresno
county products ever collected. The early closing
stakes already announced by the Breeders association,
including among other rich events The California, a
$2000 stake for trotters of the 2:24 class, and The
Raisin City, a $1000' stake for the pacers of the 2:20
class, are but forerunners of the best program of har-
ness events that have been offered in California for
years. The Fresno track is one of the best mile tracks
ever built in this State and is kept in the very pink of
condition by the county of Fresno, which is the owner
of the fine property. The Breeders will spare no
pains in making this meeting the very best that has
been held since its organization, and the chances are
very bright for the largest list of entries and tie
largest attendance in the history of the organization.
Entries to ths first installment of six early closing
stakes will close June 2d. The conditions and all par-
ticulars will be found in the advertising columns of the
Breeder and Sportsman to-day. Look them over
carefully, and enter as liberally as possible, and help
to make the circuit of 1902 the best ever given on the
Pacific Coast.

Race Meeting at San Jose.

The directors of Agricultural District No. 5 at San
Jose held a meeting last Wednesday and elected Geo.
Y. Bollinger President and H. H. Main Secretary.
It was decided to hold the annual fair this year during
the three days, July 3d, 4th and 5th. All purses will
be $500 each and entries will close June 25th. A full
list of the classes for which purses are offered will be
announced soon. The San Jose track is in excellent
condition at the present time and the association will
aim to keep it so and will offer every inducement to
trainers who will come uhere with their horses. There
has never been a more prosperous year in prospect in
Santa Clara valley than this one, and the directors
believe that a good program of races will attract a
very large attendance iu July, and enable them to get
the association out of debt. Secretary Main states
that all purses will be paid immediately upon the de-
cision of the judges.

Woodland, May 14, 1902.

Breeder and Sportsman— Once more I have the
pleasure of dropping you a few lines about the Yolo
county horses. At present there are about thirty in
training here, nearly all doingwell and showing speed.

Falrose, Walter Masten's well known stallion, sire of
Don 2:10 and Primrose 2:09}, is looking fine. He has
already been mated with 74 mares this season, which is
the record for this time of the year. Mr. Masten is
working Penrose 2:21 J by Falrose and expects to mark
him in about 2:10 this year. Mayme H., a handsome
mare by the same sire, is stepping fast, and Tuberose,
the handsome stallion by Falrose, is going faster than
ever. He should trot to a fast record this year.
Masten is training John A. 2:123, and the son of Vay
land W. looks in the pink of condition and should
make the pacers in his class march some when he lines
up for the word with them. Gold Crown, a two year
old, and Dixon Maid, both by Falrose, are in Mr.
Masten's string and very promising.

C- E. Bigelow has a fine string of horses and will
make a good showing on the circuit with some of them.
An Alex Button filly, the property of O. A. Lowe, is a
very handsome bay, good gaited and promising. The
four year old colt El Primero, by Diablo 2:09} out of

Hotel Rosslyn, best located hotel in Los Angeles.

El Primero by Diablo 2:09 1-4.

old Lucy B. 2:l~l by Button, is as good a prospect for
a fast ODe as there is in this section. He is a very
handsome colt, as his picture shows, and is a candidate
for a fast record this year or next. "Det" also has a
five year old Diablo that is as fast as a bullet. I be-
lieve he is out of a Sidney mare. These Diablos are all
fast and have the size and good looks for which the
family is noted.

H. W. Miller, of San Francisco, is here with a string
of horses that are good goods. He has the fast mare
Lady Falrose 2:23J, that can beat 2:20, and the gelding
Steve S. by Steve Whipple that is a very handsome
horse. In this string are Prince Irene by Coligny,
the Wilkes mare Lolito and a yearling by Rustic.

C. R. Harrington is working Smuggler, John Nor-
ton's horse by Waldstein out of an Odd Fellow mare
that is much admired by the railbirds. He was so
unfortunate as to lose a very handsome and promising
three year old by Falrose the other day. I did not
learn the cause of death.

A. B. Rodman has a gray horse by Button that
stepped a mile in 2:25 recently after a very few weeks'
work, and is considered one of the good green ones at
this track. He has another that is nearly as good.

William Murray can be seen often jogging his great
horse Diablo 2:09}, and always attracts attention.
The breeders here appreciate the fact that Diablo is
one of the best bred and greatest speed producers on
the Pacific Coast and are giving him a very large
patronage again. He is certainly one of the handsom-
est individuals that ever came to Yolo county, and his
colts are universally like him.

John Norton is making a good season with Gossiper
Jr., Cbas. Burgess has his horse Stanford here and is
also doing well, Chas. Johnson is getting a good pat-
ronage for Mambrino Chief Jr., and Peter Fitzgerald
has booked a large number of mares to Mickey Free.
So you see that Yolo county is keeping in the front
rank in breeding standard horses as well as training
them. - ' ■ O. K.

Ebenezer Bull, of the town of Hamptonburgh,
brought to our ofiico, Friday, a calcareous formation,
egg-shaped, 10} inches in circumference, that had
formed in the stomach of his horse, Doctor, an animal
30 years old. Formations of this sort are not un-
common, but the fact that the old horse is still alive
and happy after getting rid of bis unwelcome encum-
brance is regarded by horsemen as a marvel. Mr. Bull
left the stone at the Occidental Hotel, where it has
attracted considerable attention. — Qoshi n Independent-

Lexington's Early Closing Fixed Events.

The Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Associa-
tion announces in this issue the renewal of its Fixed
Events which have been well termed "the classics of
American light harness racing." The list includes
the historic Transylvania for trotters eligible to the
2:12 class on June 2d, 1902, and for this race SiiOOO is
offered; the McDowell, $5000 for 2:10 trotters; the
Walnut Hall Farm Cup for 2:15 trotters guaranteed
$3000 by Mr. L. V. Harkness, proprietor of Walnut
Hall Farm, who will, in addition, present a handsome
silver trophy valued at $500 to tbe owner of the win-
ning horse; the Blue Grass, $2000 for 2:19 class; the
Tennessee, $3000 for pacers eligible to the 2:08 Glass on
June 2d, but need not be named until September 19th,
with the privilege of transferring entries on or before
the latter date; the Johnston, $2000, for trotters
eligible to the 2:24 class; the West, $2000, for trotters
of the 2:29 class; the Wilson, $2000, for pacers eligible
to the 2:20 class; and for youngsters the Kentucky,
$2000, for three year olds, and the Lexington, $20CO
for two year olds.

Certainly there is no breeder, owner or trainer but
who would experience a feeling of the greatest pleasure
and pride to see their charges crowned as winner in
any one of these noted events.

Entries will close on Monday, June 2d, with E. W-
Shanklin, see'y, at Lexington, Ky., and we know
owners will encourage these rich and classic races by
making the list a record breaker.

The conditions governing entries can be found on
another page of this issue where also owners of both
two and three year olds eligible to the Kentucky Fu-
turity for foals of 1899, and for foals of 1900, are re-
minded that another payment is due in order to keep
their youngsters in.

Relics of the Great Farm.

A unique department is to be added to the Stanford
Museum in the shape of a "university and stock farm
room," intended as a repository for a Stanford collec-
tion entirely distinct from the mementos and purely
personal belongings of the Stanford family which
already have a place among the exhibits. Curator
Peterson is hard at work getting together everything
obtainable in the way of relics of the Palo Alto farm
and the early interests of the Senator. Among the
articles already secured are a four-wheeled skeleton
wagon, weighing sixty-four pounds, in which Senator
Stanford drove Occident; a ball-bearing sulky, the
first of its kind; Leland Stanford, Jr.'s, yellow-geared
rig; prize awards and various other objects of interest
to the student and visitor, all of which have' Been
placed in a separate room along with the skeletons of
Palo Alto, Electioneer and Occident.

The Montana Meeting.

Racing Secratary Ralph H. Tozer has been very
busy this week visiting horsemen and interviewing
railroad transportation agents in regard to shipping
horses to the meeting which opens at Butte, June 21st.
Mr. Tozer expects there will be fully 500 horses at the
Butte track by the time the meeting opens.

A Jersey Live Bird Shoot in the '70's With
Trained Pigeons.

Budd Doble, the veteran reinsman who drove and
piloted Dexter, Goldsmith Maid and Nancy Hanks to
eminent mention in the pages of history devoted to
the trotting horse and whose name was, by Oliver
Wendell Holmes, humorously mentioned as a ''ca-
tarrhal cognomen," is a keen all round sportsman and
in days past was a devotee and admirer of trap shoot-
ing. He told an amusing story the other day of an
old time pigeon shoot that took place near Jersey City,
N. J., nearly thirty yean ago.

John Taylor, of Taylor Brothers, who kept the
Taylor Hotel in Jersey City, was a crack shot at that
time and was as clever, when occasion required and
opportunity offered, in jockeying and outwittiDg his
opponents as he was skillful with his shotgun. This
combination made him an adversary of no little weight
when a trap shoot in his bailiwick was held. One
advantage he had, and a signal one, as the sequel to
this story will prove, was that he owned the shooting
ground where all the principal matches in that section
were shot. So when Mr. Taylor was "four flushing"
he generally had the ace up his sleeve and handy to
get at.

A stocky built, ruddy faced country youth, "Billy''
Seeds, by reason of his extreme cleverness in the field
and skill at several trap shooting meets, attracted the
attention and interest of a Mr. Joseph Vandergrift, a
sportsman who resided then on the Bristol turnpike
about five or six miles below Bristol, which place is
near Philadelphia. Mr. Vandergrift thought so well
of his protege's skill that he believed he could "wipe
Taylor's eye" in a pigeon shoot.

Negotiations were entered into and finally a match
was arranged for a shoot at 100 birds per man, 50
singles and 50 doubles, and a financial consideration
on the side. Each shooter was to "find, handle and
trap" for his opponent, as they used to arrange pigeon
matches in those days. Taylor backed and filled on
every detail he could, and was exasperatmgly insistent
on a number of conditions manifestly in his favor.
However, he finally gave way in every particular, ex-
cepting two, in which he prevailed. This made nearly
& straight flush with the convenient ace to draw to.
The date set for the match was a little longer ahead
than usual for an ordinary pigeon match, Taylor
gained this point, for he was practical and deemed
time a potent factor in determining results. The
other condition was a thirty-five yard boundary. As
each shooter was to supply the other's birds, Taylor
at once commenced gathering the birds for "Billy V
benefit, he finally secured about 500 pigeons. They
were dark selected birds and were housed comfortably
in the immediate vicinity of thetrapshootinggrounds.
They were fed up and looked after assiduously and all
but the best and strongest quickly weeded out. Mr.
Taylor's next move was to give his pigeons such a
training as made them a particularly difficult lot of
birds to grass. This was done in the following man-
ner, the birds were daily taken from the loft to the
shooting ground and placed in the traps. The traps,
old fashioned box traps, were pulled all together. As
soon as the traps were sprung, directly before them
the startled pigeons could see several lusty fellows
flailing the ground with cedar branches and yelling
like Indians. These men were aided by several others
who fired shotguns in the direction of the birds, the
whole contingent making as much noise and com-

motion as possible at the same time In the course of
a short while these birds had received a liberal and.
effective education and as soon as a trap was sprung a
swift winged tail ender or baffling out-going quarterer
would strike out in rapid flight for safety in the
familiar loft located a short distance away and almost
in a direct line behind the set of traps.

On the day appointed for the match quite a gather-
ing of the sports were on hand. New York, Philadel-
phia, Jersey City and other places being well repre-
sented by delegations interested in the "boy wonder's"
career and incidentally willing to back their opinions
with a few bills of various denominations. Mr. Doble
does not now recall who was referee, the names of the
seconds or scorers, but many of the actual incidents
happening as the match progressed are still fresh in
his memory. Seeds worea green knit jacket and shot
a muzzle loading gun, which kicked like a government
mule. The birds provided by Mr. Vandergrift for
Taylor to shoot at were a lot of home birds gathered
shortly before leaving Bristol and were brought to
Jersey City en the cars in willow champagne baskets.
They* were an averaging lot of good strong birds and
after all Taylor was just a bit lucky. Taylor also used
a muzzle loader, those being the days before fixed
ammunition for shotguDS, each shooter had his pow-
der flask, shot pouch, both of which old-fashioned
articles had a changeable device attached, through
which the charges of powder and shot were, in a fairly
accurate degree, measured and then dumped into the
gun muzzles and afterwards given a tamping with the
ramrod. Each shooter stood at thirty yards and both
sported 10 guage guns. The contestants, it was
noticed, both used about as high class guns as were in
vogue at that period.

Mr. Taylor opened the race and grassed his bird
with the first barrel. "Billy" then faced the traps,
after the birds had been changed, and dropped his bird
neatly with one barrel. He was not without a follow-
ing however, the bird he drew was a "corker," his
clever shot evoked an encouraging recognition from
his adherents, for in the side bets the odds were in
favor of the veteran shooter.

As the match progressed Seeds, it was seen, held his
own cleverly: the heavy recoil of his gun caused a con-
tusion of his cheek which began to bleed, but he kept
at his work bravely. The weather, too, was intensely
cold and the ground frozen. Taylor finally got in the
lead and maintained it, winning by a single bird.
Seeds, whose subsequent exploits at the traps are not
known, managed to kill 99 out of the 100 pigeons Tay-
lor provide. ; this, however, includes pigeons gathered
without bounds. The scores made not being remem-
bered by Doble.

Training pigeons for a match may now, in these
days, be a lost art. We have noted a discharge of
both barrels at once when a particularly awkward in-
comer left the traps. A little thing like dropping for
place don't avail anything now, In blue rock shoot-
ing, we have heard of a shoot between gun club teams
from different places, where the local club generously
provided plaster of Paris blue rocks for their visitors;
a better scheme than that is to use very soft blue
rocks, the pellets of shot will puncture but not break
the target. Such a peccadillo as screwing the traps
fast or slow is too trivial to discuss — shooters don't in-
dulge in sure-thing matches now, not at all: those
customs were practiced in the days of "auld laDg
syne."

An Appeal to Sportsmen.

The National Committee of the Audubon Societies,
with headquarters at 525 Manhattan Avenue, New
York, have issued through Mr. William Dutcher,
chairman, a circular that is directly to the point,
earnest and manly, and is most conspicuous as a model
of protective literature in contradistinction to the
usual articles that are more remarkable as fanatical
tirades or vituperative bits of blackguardism that,
instead of doing any general amount of good, are really
the means of creating many class antagonisms that are
a set-back to game and fish protection and result in a
corresponding indifference to the protection of all
othet living creatures, whether feather, fur or fin,
found afield, while afloat or on the banks of stream
or lake.

The circular referred to, which we heartily endorse,
having frequently called the attention of our readers
to the unnecessary destruction of birds that were of
public benefit, is as follows:

"Many sportsmen, when on hunting trips, are in the habit of
shooting birds that can in no sense De considered game— 'simply
for practice.' It is undoubtedly a fact that large numbers of gulls,
terns, swallows, swifts, nighthawks, which in some sections of the
country are known as bullbats, and birds of like character, are
destroyed every year.

"Without considering the aesthetic side of the question, such
birds should not be killed, from an economic standpoint; they are
of great value to the public, and to wantonly destroy them for
'practice' in shooting is a habit that no true sportsmen will engage
in: Let us hope that it is the result of thoughtlessness.

•This appeal is made to the sportsmen of the country, to ask
them to consider the great value of the noD-game birds, and it is
believed that they will not only abstain from killing such birds,
but will preach the gospel of protection at all times."

We will take the liberty of appending some pertinent
suggestions on this subject, for which the Riverside
Enterprise is responsible, whilst making a plea for
many creatures supposed to be harmful:

"Kill them!

Kill what ?

"Oh, the horned toads ! For you know thattheyare

the only thing we have that (destroys the red ants
with their agonizing sting and prevents them from
multiplying into untold, innumerable millions. So, if
you cannot sell the toads for a nickel apiece, to be
mounted and sent East as curios, just set your heel
upon them when you see them.

"And there are the gopher snakes, slow, harmless
fellows. Watch one for an hour or two. See him
crawl into every gopher hole there is in your little
orchard and, after swallowing all the young gophers
he can find, watch him turn his attention to the rat
holes in the edge of the wheatfield. He minds his own
business and attends strictly' to it. What, tired of
watching him? Well, then kill him, however beneficial
he may be; kill him, just because he is a snake.

"Then, there are the birds. Here we have a couple
of meadow larks, standing confidingly close to the
edge of the road. Get your gun and wantonly butcher
them, lest they escape and destroy a hundred times
their weight in cutworms. Shoot the pretty, waggish
road-runners. They feed upon scorpions and centi
pedes and prevent them from becoming a menace and
making life a burden to man. But then, the idle Sun-
day saunterer with his death-dealing twenty-two rifle,
must be amused.

"Shoot the tucalotos, the pretty little ground owls
that politely bob good morning to you. Shoot them,
even though a man of veracity on the Chino ranch
claims to have found seventeen gopbers, old and
young, in the nest of a family of tucalotos. They are
too good to live — too innocent and self-sustaining.
Shoot them!

"Shoot the hawks, the little kites or sparrow hawks.
Of course they live upon the mischievous linnets, but
that don't matter. Shoot the hen hawks : In this
country they live on mice, rats and rabbits, but there's
a legend from the East that they sometimes catch
chickens. So be sure and shoot them; they make
such a nice target."

The foregoing, whilst directed particularly to
Southern California, is applicable in sentiment, theory
and practice universally.

Striped Bass Fishing on the Eastern Coast.

When S. A. Tucker. Parker Bros.' representative
on the Coast, was in Los Angeles recently, he told a
rather interesting tale of sea fishing on the other Coast j
which shows that on the Atlantic the fishing for
striped bass has been carried to far greater lengths
than on this Coast, where the sport is younger.

Tucker is a charming narrator, and here is his tale:
"Out on the Pacific Coast the fishermen usually have
their sport from boats or from the public wharves,
which is rather inconvenient some of the time, and
from the agitation that has been raised lately against
the seiners I would judge, most of the time.

"Down on Narragansett bay in the Massachusetts
country, about where the rock-bound coast begins'
the wealthy sportsmen go at the game in a more luxu-
rious and expensive way, though I do not know
whether it is much more satisfactory after all. They
build iron fishing stands out into the Atlantic, each
wealthy fisherman of any prominence having at least
one of them and some have two or three. They are
costly affairs, too. But that does not matter. People
like John W. Gates do not care how much they spend
so long as they get some fun in return for it.

"Out on this Coast a man thinks he is hard used if
he spends $4 or $5 a day for a boatmon and a boat and
does not get half a dozen yellowtail or bass. Down
there they think it is a big season's killing to get that
many striped bass. There are only certain days that
they can fish from these Narragansett bay stands with
any show of success, and those are the days on which
the winds blow strongly from the northwest with a
cloudy sky and a roily disturbed condition of the
water that sends the big bass into the surf following
up the tide for fiddler crabs and other food.

" Once in a while one of these fellows with his hun-
dred dollar split bamboo bass rod and high priced reel
hooks two goodly sized bass in the course of a day.
Then the entire sporting fraternity hears of it next
day and turns out in force. These wealthy fellows
buy a cuttyhunk line and never use it enough to take
the kink out of it. About one trip is all that a line is
supposed to be good for. Then it is given away. It
might fray a little against the rocks causing a weak-
ness that might lose a record fish, and that is a thing
that would not be accepted for $500, let alone the price
of a line or two.

"If some of the Catalina yellowtail anglers could see
the kind of light gear that is used by these fishers
after striped bass it would open their eyes. Out in
this part of the country they think it is necessary to
use a miniature telegraph pole and a reel like a wind-
lass in order to do business with fish that do not aver-
age as large as those tide-runner bass. There they
use specially made rods of selected split bamboo made
up in the most costly style and put together to stand
any reasonable use that will be given them by a care-
ful angler. Of course they will not stand being 'fetched
up' on by a heavy fish, but the sportsman in the East
will take an hour or two to kill a bass if he is any size
to speak of, and I have known of anglers working half
a day with one.

"Fishing from these stands is not all a pleasure,
however, owing to a peculiar construction of the law
that makes it so a proprietor has no more rights on
one of them after high tide than does any other fellow
who may happen to attach his boat and climb up on
them. The proprietors of these fishing stands have
spent thousands of dollars trying to get through a
law that will give them some permanent proprietor-
ship in their stands, but so Tar it has been of no avail.
"There is an interpretation of the laws there that
allows certain privileges, to all fishermen — a sort of
equity proceeding which does not recognize any pro-

prletorship on the ocean after certain stages of the
tide. The fact that a man owns the land from which
one of these stands juts out protects him only so far as
admittance to the stand is concerned. At low tide
anybody can climb up from the beach and use them,
ana if the proprietor comes along- and wants to fish it
is entirely a matter of the courtesy of the first man
there whether he vacates or stands pat. The law has
been tried on the thing time and time again, but the
law has never been made that would reverse the
precedent.

"These Eastern striped bass run to immense size and
some have been taken that would weigh fifty pounds.
They do not average that large, but it is not uncom-
mon to hook a thirty-pounder, and if there is any kind
of fish that is much nicer than a slice of fresh bass
steak I have never struck it to date.

"Out on this Coast there are a number of bass, but
they do not seem to be as large as the Eastern product.
That, I suppose, is a matter of age. California bass
are an importation and I presume they have not been
here long enough to have attained their full size. It
must be a matter of a good many years for them to
get their growth.'1 — Los Angeles Express.

The record striped bass caught in the Sacramento
river, is a fish caught recently by some of the net fish-
ermen employed by the American Fish Company of
Sacramento; this fish weighed filty-nine pounds. The
largest bass caught previously to this weighed forty-
eight pounds. These two fish are not by any means
as large as many recorded catches of big bass in East-
ern waters. We have not yet had the pleasure of
noting a thirty pound bass caught in our waters with
rod and reel, several twenty-five pound fish have been
landed however.

Fox Terrier Notes.

There seems to be a feeling of unrest among Fox
Terrier exhibitors at the present time, mainly on the
question of size. The disquiet is nothing new. It has
occurred at intervals, over and over again, ever since
the terrier of true working dimensions gave place to
the larger, showier exhibition terrier. But at no time
perhaps has the feeling been more pronounced or the
necessity of choosing one's judges more decided.
With the craze for long heads and exaggerated fronts,
the larger dog was bound to have his day. Every
breeder knows it is easier to produce long wolf-hound
like heads with narrow fronts and sloping shoulders
in the comparatively large terrier. A long head and
perfect front with a compact, short-legged frame have
never been very easy to attain. But there is no doubt
a happy medium, and when Fox Terriers of lathy
build weigh twenty-two pounds or more, it seems high
time that the opposition should have a chance. The
point, however, needs great discrimination. Assuming
that the terrier is, as the name implies, a little dog
capable of going to ground, a comparatively large dog
of the correct shape may be more efficient than the
coarse and cobby one however small he may be. It is
not, therefore, a question of mere height at withersj
and the sportsman has many points of* detail to con-
sider; but be that as it may, the large dog, which is
otherwise unfit for the legitimate work of the breed,
should be chucked at sight, and the movement is all in
the right direction.

In the matter of size, dogs have always been the
principal offenders. At no time have the prominent
winners among bitches been very large. It is common
enough at good shows to see a whole class of small
bitches, no larger than they were five and twenty
years ago. But the dogs are frequently giants, and
dogs admittedly too large for show — the admission
means a good deal in these days — are freely accepted
as good stud dogs without any thought as regards the
future of the breed. A dog that is defective in some
point of detail may be held to be undesirable as a sire,
but size is likely to be as hereditary as any other point,
and it is not very clear why an over sized stud dog
should be regarded as free from objection. The giants
occur in both smooth and wire-haired varieties, the
points of which do not differ beyond that of coat, but
the latter are perhaps the greatest offenders. The
recent champions in the wire dog classes have almost
invariably been large, and they are accepted by English
judges of reputation. At present, however, there is a
tendency to make a stand.

The first sigu of the times occurred perhaps at the
Birmingham show of 1901. Mr. Redmond was the
judge, and the show saw the downfall of Champion
Cackler of Notts. Cackleris undoubtedly the wire dog
of the day. It is not that he holds an unbeaten record,
he has been defeated on and off by various crocks; but,
for all that, he is beyond question the most dreaded
competitor that any wire exhibitor has to fai_e. He is
a large dog, weighing, in good condition, perhaps
twenty-two pounds, but his style in the ring, his mag-
nificent head and neck and outlook, are usually more
than sufficient to crush competition. And he is no
chance winner of mushroom reputation. He is a son of
Champion Barkley Ben and a grandson of Champion
Tipton Slasher. As a sire, he has proved a remark-
able success. Among his winning offspring are Com-
modore of Notts, Captain of Notts, Dusky Cackler,
Dont Cackle, Classy of Notts, Dusky Gleaner, Morden
Beau, Humberstone Rocket, Holmwood Cackler,
Cackle of Colne, Cackling Weasel, Birchington and
others. The Duchess of Newcastle has every reason
to be proud of his career, and not the less because she
bred him herself. A sportsman would doubtless like
to see him smaller, but having said that, there is little
more to be said; he is undoubtedly one of the grandest
terriers uf modern times.

At Birmingham, he was put down by Mr. Mutter in
grand fettle. He smothered his opponents in the open
class, and Mr. Mutter, exhibiting him for the Duchess,
never handled him for the Championship Cup with
more confidence than he did on this occasion. It was

thought an absolute certainty. At the same show,
however, the Duchess was exhibiting a young son of
Cackler, Commodore of Notts. Commodore had not
been entered in the open class, possibly because it was
not desired to run him against his illustrious sire, but
more likely because it was held he had no chance in
the company; the contest was very keen. He was
entered in the limit class and was awarded first. As a
limit winner, he was called up for the championship
and was handled by Mr. Mutter, Jr. Commndore is
a little dog, weighing, at a guess, under eighteen
pounds; he has an exceptionally well shaped head, good
front, short back, hard coat and admirable hind action.
Still there are few judges who would have had the
pluck to place him above the champion. Mr. Red-
mond did so, and Commodore, in adaition to Champion
Cackler, beat Champions Barkley Ben, King Elf and
Royston Remus. It was a grand victory for a young-
ster, a little over a year old, and all in the same ken-
nel. Still the owner was, I venture to say, disap-
pointed, and many were surprised.

But there was a worse disappointment in store. At
the fox terrier club show at Cheltenham, later in the
same year, Mr. Shirley was the judge. Mr. Shirley is
the president of the Kennel Club, and a gentleman of
high position and knowledge in all canine lore. But
he was an unknown factor, he had not judged for
many years, he was scarcely in touch with the fox
terrier of the day, it was not known in what direction
his proclivities lay, and there was a bumper entry.
As it proved, Mr. Shirley would not have the giants
at any price, he did not consider them workmen, and
Mr. Redmond's game little wire Don't Go Bang ran
gaily through his classes, and eventually secured the
championship over the redoubtable Cackler and many
other cracks. Don't Go Bang is quite a small terrier,
who has not been exhibited often, in fact very seldom,
but who has always held his own when shown. Still
he had never won a championship before, and on the
13th of November last he was competing against the
very best wires of modern times. His success was a
feather in the cap of the small strain. At the same
exhibition, the twenty-second show of the fox terrier
club, Mr. Walter Glynn was adjudicating on the
smooth classes. Mr. Glynn is a young man and thor-
oughly in touch with the times, but he was taking the
same line. The well known Velocipede obtained no
higher card than a v h c, and Mr. Glynn remarked
that he was too big, and could not with any consistency
be placsd in the same category as the winner (Avon
Minstrel) unless there were no other quality small
ones. It will be interesting to observe what will
happen at later shows, and whether the Duchess will
exhibit Cackler again, for Cackler is still the champion
in a class where the competition is highest, and it will
take a very good small one to remove him from his
place. — John Brown in Tlie Asian.

AT THE TRAPS.

The Capital City Blue Rock Club shoot at Sacra-
mento last Sunday brought out a large crowd of shoot-
ers. Over 6000 blue rocks were trapped during the day.
In the club race several members missed a straight by
one bird. Dr. E. C. Deuel won a gold bar and
advanced one class. Messrs. Ajax and Peek of the
first class won gold bars and advanced to the cham-
pionship class. Dr. F. L. Atkinson won a gold bar
and advanced a class. A. P. Booth sprung the great-
est surprise of the day. Ee shot for the first time,
using gun and ammunition wholly unfamiliar to him,
won a gold bar, the only one in his class, and advanced
to the next highest class, among which are some of
the most reliable shots of the club. The fact of the
Northern California tournament taking place to-dav
and to-morrow drew forth a large attendance for prac-
tice. Teams from Red Bluff, Redding, Dixon, Davis-
ville, Cottonwood, Chico, Oak Park, Washington and
three from Sacramento have entered for the team
championship shoot. At this event accommodations
will be provided for the public to witness the shooting
in comfort.

The Capital Citv Blue Rock Club members now
shoot under a classification system arranged on a pro-
motion scale. Gold, silver and bronze bars will be
awarded in each class as follows: Championship class,
a gold bar for 25 straight, a silver bar for 24 breaks
and a bronze bar for a score of 23. First class, gold,
silver and bronze bars for straights of 24, 23 and 22
respectively. Second class, bars for scores of 23, 22
and 21 bre ks. Third class, bars tor scores of 22. 21
and 20. Fourth class, for strings of 21, 20 and 19.
Medals can be worn only once in any one class during
the season. The winning of a medal advances the
shooter one class. The medals are of unique design —
a blue rock entwined by a laurel wreath with the name
of the club figured on the border.

A recent blue rock shoot by Fresno trap shooters at
the local gun club shooting grounds shows some good
scores. Frank Fanning won the first-class medal,
breaking all of a possible fifty in that competition.
Fred Fanning winning the second-class medal with a
score of seventeen. In the seventh event Dan Dis-
mukes broke thirty-eight targets straight and also
made a clean score in a twenty-five bird race. Fred
Stone made two separate runs of twenty-four.

Following are the scores, all the events being at
twenty blue rocks, but the last two, which were at
twentv-five:

The principal feature of the Golden Gate Gun Club
shoot last Sunday at Ingleside besides the regular
monthly club race, was the shoot for the third and
last of the trophies won by members of the now dis-
banded Olympic Gun Club. N. H. Neustadter won
the prize, the Overland Monthly trophy. Nine men
entered and shot at 50 birds, distance handicap. Neu-
stadter aad Derby stood at the sixteen-yard mark,
Nauman at the twenty-yard mark and Haight at the
eighteen-yard mark. All made 44. and tied for the
trophy. In the shoot-off Neustadter won with a score
of 45.

At the club's April shoot, C. A. Haight and Otto
Feudner tied for the Roos trophy. Last Sunday Feud-
ner won the trophy in the tie shoot-off scoring 42
breaks to Haight's 31. Fred Feudner won the first
trophy shot for, the Inanimate Target Association
trophy.

In the club shoot at 25 targets, distance handicap,
the scores were: Haight, 18 yards 22 breaks, E. L.
Forster 18-21, W.J. Golcher 18-21, "Slade" 18-20, O.
Feudner 18-20, Dr. E. G. McConnell 18-20, W. E. Mur-
dock 16-19, W. A. Robertson 16-19, N. H. Neustadter
16-19, F. Feudner 16-18, E. A. Wands 16-17, A. L
Gerstle 16-17, J. J. Sweeney 16-16, W. Wattles 14-16,
Dr. A. T. Derby 14-14, Eug Forster 14-11.

In a following thirty-bird handicap race all the en-
tries shot at their first fifteen birds from the sixteen
yard mark and for the ssoond fifteen they were handi-
capped according to the first scores made.

Scores made from the sixteen yard mark were:
Goleher 14, Nauman 13, F. Feudner 13, Neustadter 13,
Wands 13, O. Feudner 12, Tano 12, Slade 12, Derby 12,
Klevesahl 12, Murdock 13, Robertson 12, Haight 11,
Sweeney 11, Wattles 12, Williamson 11, Gerstle 8, Mc-
Connelf 9, Ed Feudner 9, Jensen 5.

In shooting at the second fifteen birds the handicaps
and scores made were as follows: Golcher 20-12, Nau-
man 18-15, Fred Feudner 18-13, Neustadter 18-10,
Wands 8-10, O. Feudner 18-12, Fano 18-12, Slade 18-

total of 28, Otto Feudner second with 27 and W J.
Golcher, Fred Feudner and C. A. Haight tied for third
with scores of 26. W. A. Robertson won both a gold
and silver bar for straights of 25 and 15, Nauman and
Haight each won two silver bars. Otto Feudner and
Dr. Derby each won a silver bar.

A party of Black Jack Gun Club members and
friends, including "Ole Lem, " Prof. James Markland,
"Stump" Wyman, "Hefty" Marcus, "Hardmouth,"
"Clabber" Goodman and a few other choice spirits
(inside and outside) arranged a live bird shoot on the
quiet recently. The shoot took place in the country
on the ranch of a congenial companion. A San Ma-
teo sportsman furnished several dozen pigeons that
were ordered. The style of shooting and the resulting

scores between two teams of the shooters for a dinner

the "War Correspondent" was Referee, handled the
ropes and scored— can be surmised readily by a perusal
of the following note Pete Thorsen sent to Prof.
Markland from San Mateo: " Friend Jim— I beg
to sincerely thank you for the patronage of the Black
Jack Verein, and to intimate than I shall he only too
happy to supply you with any number of birds on
future occasions of the sort. The whole of the pigeons
for which you paid me at the rate of 25 cents per head
returned borne in safety, and moreover, brought with
them four stray pigeons."

The blue rock shoot of most absorbing interest since
the opening of Ingleside grounds this season will be a
merchandise prize shoot to-morrow given by Cla-
brough, Golcher & Co. Among the list of nearly 100
articles offered to the shooters in four classes will be
four fine shotguns, one for each class. The program
and conditions of the shoot appeared in last week's
Breeder. Indications point to a large gathering of
trap shooters.

Napa sportsmen to the number of one hundred and
fifty, enjoyed a pigeon shoot and "bullshead breakfast"
at the Suscol House on the 4th inst. Nine heads
cooked to a king's taste, and plenty of chili sauce,
beans and the other good things that go with the
barbecued meats. There was some very good and
some very bad shooting. The day was an ideal one.
C. C. Mansfield, of Napa, was referee and J. W. Elias,
of Vallejo, scored. The birds were an exceptionally
fine strong lot. Many were well hit, but fell dead out
of bounds. The following scores were made:

The first race at 10 birds ended in a tie between
Reams and the two May fields, and after shooting at
four birds more they divided the purse:

The biggest live bird shoot that ever occurred in
that part of the State took place last Saturday, the
second day of the shoot. The principal event was No.
3 on the program, and was for a purse of $315, divided
as follows: $100 to first, $75 to second, $50 to third,
$40 to fourth, $30 to fifth and $20 to sixth. It was a
handicap match at twenty-five live birds, $20 entrance,
birds extra, high guns to win. Eleven of the crack
trap shooters of the State lined up for the affair, as
follows: Sam Yancey of Bakersfield, Raymond.
Blanchard and Hicks of Los Angeles, A. J. Allen of
North Ontario, G. Stone, F. Stone and St. John of
Fresno, and Clarence Nauman, Clarence Haight and
Otto Feudner represented San Francisco. "Raymond"
and "Hicks" are the assumed names of two prominent
men of Los Angeles. Horace Stevens was the scorer,
J. H. Davis of Bakersfield refereed and M. A. Fesler
of Visalia handled the pulls.

Yancey, the local man, was first up and used both
barrels in killing his initial bird. He shot in splendid
form up to the seventeenth bird, which he missed, as
well as the one following, but thereafter killed every
bird with the first barrel. His two misses were suffi-
cient to keep him out of the money, however, as St.
John won, with a clean score of twenty-five, while
Nauman, Haight, Feudner, Raymond and F. Stone
w^re right after bim with 24 birds each. Nauman
fell down on his twelfth shot and it was all due
to his own carelessness, as it was a slow incoming
bird, and probably as easy as any that he had during
the day. Judge St. John shot with extreme care as
he faced the traps for his last shot; the Judge real-
ized fully how much that shot was worth to him.

He adjusted his glasses very properly, looked downS
at the 28-yard stake where he was standing as if
in search of a hunch, and after twitching his
hat rim to the proper pose for shade from the strong
sunlight, called out "ready," and a second later gave
the word to "pull." The pigeon hung around the
trap in the most tantalizing manner possible; when it
did rise it made a bee line for the rear, but got no
further than ten feet away, as St. John's gun stopped
it. It was a decidedly popular victory, as everybody
likes Judge St John, and all his competitors joined in
the demonstration. The scores were:

Yancey 30 yards, 23; Raymond 30-24, Feudner 33-24,
Hicks 29 yards (withdrawn), Blanchard 2S-21, Haight
32-24, F. Stone 29-24, St. John 28-25, G. Stone 28?23
Nauman 33-24, Alien 29-22.

The tournament promoted by the Union Gun Club
of Kern county was held at the club grounds in the
Indiana colony, Kern City, under the most favorable
auspices possible. A large force had been at work for
several weeks putting the range in first class shape,
and as a result Kern county can boast of tbe best
equipped shooting grounds in the State. While the
club has been organized less than one month — since
April 12th — it already has more than 80 signatures to
its official roll, while fully twenty-five more have sig-
nified their intention of joining. The following is a
complete list of those who signed the roll, together
with the names of the officers: Horace Stevens.*Presi

at fifty yards with pistol and revolver, and 22 and 25-
caliber rifles in separate classes.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

;

Buckwa, the English Setter that is familiar to local
sportsmen, a dog that is a typical exponent of what a
good field dog should be, is announced in the stud in
the kennel advertisement columns. Buckwa is a clean
built, strong boned_and symmetrically handsome dog
and should do much to keep the breed at a high
standard here.

Mr. Feige informs us that he has two dog puppies
left from the last litter out of Nancy Hanks by LukeC.

The Ellesgy Kennels have added another brood bitch
to the company composed of Harry Lacy, King Com-
mando, Endcliffe Forceps and Endcliffe Pleasure. The
new one is the bitch Lady Bethel (Guelph — Houri II.),
whelped August 1899. She was sent out here by an
Eastern breeder and sold to Mr1 Leon S. Greenebaum
by Dr. Geo. W. Clayton, agent. The Ellesgy Kennels
now have a start on the breed that will be a hard one
to beat on the Coast.

The Sacramento 6how opened auspiciously on Tues-
day morning. The exhibit is a small one, nearly 150
entries. Cockers, Collies and Fox Terriers had the
best representation. Among tbe local fancy and others
in this vicinity who entered their dogs were: Chas.
K. Harley, Mrs. Thos. Magee, Wm. J Foster, N. H.
Hickman, Irving C. Ackerman, Mr. and Mrs. L. A.
Klein, Albert Joseph, James Hervey Jones, Delverton
Cocker Kennels, Nairod Kennels, Plumeria Kennels,
Mrs. T. J. Blight, O. J. Albee, Winters Collie Kennels,
Mrs. Chas. Newman, Dresser, Simpson and Niehaue
and others. A report and list of awards will appear
next week.

The affliction of ourdearold friend and well esteemed
sportsman, Horace Smyth, has, we sincerely regret to
state, recently taken a turn for the worse. Notwith-
standing the application of every possible effort that
loving care and the very best medical attention could
devise, the fatal termination of the illness is now re-
garded as but a matter of days or possibly a month —
with the saving clause, that while there is life there is
hope, and with the vitality and stamina which Mr.
Smyth was well endowed with, there is a flickering
chance that he may pull through and remain with us
for some time. Ws pray that he may and know that
his many friends among the angling fraternity will
heartily echo the sentiment.

The old dam in the Garcia river about seven miles
above Point Arena was washed out this winter. It is
reported lots of big steelhead have been enabled to
get up into all the small tributaries during the high
water this year.

The run of salmon in Monterey bay is still on.
Anglers are getting fish three to ten pounds in size
near Santa Cruz. The bay is full of immense schools
of sardines. The run of the big salmon is looked for
daily.

Clabrougb, Golcher & Co., are selling as many ping
pong sets as fishing rods "these days.

differing somewhat from the original

A cablegram from Europe states that in
some parts of Russia famine has forced
the price of wheat up to $3.35 the bushel.
In some parts of the Czar's empire it is
said that the shortage is so great that the
last remnants of the seed grain has been
eaten and no spring crops have been sown.
It is supposed that this shortage may
have a marked effect on European prices
of wheat within the next few months be-
fore the Hungarian crop can be marketed-

132,000 Deaths from
this alone.

One special danger menaces those who
live well, who can use champagne and fine
liquors, and that is Bright's Disep-e.
Posted clubmen understand this so w M
that many have tests made every fe •■
months. Others drink nothing but dry
wines. But still the deaths reported from
Bright's Disease and Diabetes are increas-
ing at a fearful rate. The last census re-
ports show that since 1890 the increase has
been nearly fifty per cent and that the
deaths in the United States alone from
above causes and diseases growing out of
them last year reached the enormous num-
ber of 132,000.

Hence the importance of every clubman
knowing this one fact, viz.: That Bright's
Disease and Diabetes are now positively
curable in about 87% of all cases. The
Fulton Compounds are now saving the
lives of hundreds, and will, when better
known, save the lives of thousands who
are now with little hope.

PEDIGREE IN PART.

SIRED BY SIDNEY 2:19& sire of 17 in the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, 3 better than 2:10. and Lenna
N. 2:0o>4 (champion record), and 96 in the charmed circle. Hattie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares. Com. Belmont -1340, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2:I8&.
Barona. his second dam, is by Woodford's Mambrino 2:21 ',4, and his third dam. Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25. sire of Lula 2:15: fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly coine to him. He is a grand stallion to look at; he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a Icing among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S. Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th, a half in 1:15, first quarter in 0:4ft1;, last
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than
any colt I ever saw and doiteasier. Walter S. Maben."

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep him down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top, and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,

SIR GLBBIE 2d James McDonnell, Portola, S an Mateo C°

THE BIG MEETING of the California circuit this
year will be at Fresno, where the Pacific Coast
Trotting Horse Breeders Association will give a grand
lot of stakes and purses (headed by The California, a
$2000 stake for trotters eligible to the 2:24 class) dur-
ing the same week the Fresno Agricultural District
Association holds its fair. The racing will begin Sep-
tember 30th and continue five days. It will probably
be the only exclusive harness meeting given in Cali-
fornia this year and that it will be a grand success is
assured. It has been several years since the magnifi-
cent track at Fresno has been used for a race meeting
and as Fresno county is a great horse breeding center
and the business is now prosperous, there was a general
demand for the Breeders to hold their meeting there.
The track and grounds are owned by the county and
are kept in fine condition. A driving club is being
formed by Fresno road drivers and there is already a
great demand there for good roadsters. The mem-
bers of the club are taking great interest in the
Breeders meeting. It is proposed by the Breeders
Association to hang up a magnificent silver cup cost-
ing §150 for a race for horses owned and driven by
members of the Fresno club, and it is said commissions
are already out for horses to be entered in this cup
race. The P. C. T. H. B. A. proposes to advertise and
boom this Fresno meeting to a greater extent than
pny meeting in California has been exploited for years
and with the aid of the county fair will doubtless suc-
ceed in drawing to Fresno the largest crowd of people
seen a* the raisin center for years. Entries for the
first installment of six stakes ranging from $600 to
82000 each will close Monday, June 2d. Secretary
Kelley has already mailed blanks to horsemen all over
the Pacific Coast, and a big lot of entries is confidently
expected .

OEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS AT NAPA should
^ draw a big list of entries, and Secretary Ed Bell
will doubtless be the busiest man in his town when the
entries made Monday, June 2d, come in. That is the
date for closing the Napa entries and horsemen must
not forget it. The Napa meeting opens August ISth
and follows the Vallejo meeting. The very generous
program provided by the Napa Agricultural Society
did more to start the circuit off right this year than
the action of any other association in the State, as the
announcement was made before any other board of
directors had arranged a program. Napa should
therefore be remembered by every owner in California
who will race harness horses this year. There are
twelve stakes to close Monday, June 2d. Of these six
are for trotters and range from 5500 to -$800. The six
stakes offered pacers are $500 each. The Napa meet-
ing has always been one of the very best on the circuit.
This year the trotters and pacers will have the track
to themselves for four days, and there will be no book-
making permitted on harness races. This program is
just what every harness horse trainer and owner in
California has been demanding for several vears and
we believe they will show their appreciation of the new
deal by entering liberally. The track at Napa is in
excellent shape for training horses over, the trainers
who are quartered there now speaking in the highest
praise of its condition. Mr. Brown, the lessee of the
track, is an enthusiastic member of the Board of
Directors and wants to see the best meeting ever held
there this year, and with the aid of his fellow
members and the efficient Secretary will come very
near accomplishing the desired end. There is no
prettier spot in California than Napa, hotel accommo-
dations are excellent and every provision is being made
at the track for the comfort of horsemen and their
horses. Start off by giving Napa a big entry list and
see the California Circuit boom this year.

SALES OF THOROUGHBREDS will begin at the
Fasig-Tipton Company's paddocks at Sheepshead
Bay early next month. Consignments from forty-two
breeders will be sold during the summer, the first sale
being down for June 3d, and the last on September 9th.
Rancho del Paso yearlings will be sold June 13th to
ISth, and those from Mr. A. B. Spreckels' Napa Stock
Farm will go under the hammer July 1st. Superin-
tendent Geo. W. Berry will leave Napa with this con-
signment about the 15th of June. He has a grand lot
of youngsters to take across, fully as good as last j ear's
yearlings, which created quite a sensation by their size
and good looks, and brought good prices.

JAMES F. CALDWELL, the starter, prominently
known in turf circles throughout the country, died
suddenly of apoplexy at his cottage at Saratoga last
Thursday. He suffered from rheumatism since last
November, but of late appeared to be greatly improved
and was able to take outdoor exercise. Mr. Caldwell
was born in Danville, Ky., sixty:five years ago, and en-
joyed robust health until last fall. During his long
career on the turf he officiated as starter on all the
principal running tracks in the United States.

THE EMPIRE CITY Trotting Club has received
an enormous list of entries to its early closing
purses. The entrance money will more than pay the
purses offered. __________________ __^_

Breeder and Sportsman— Holton Martin has
had Beach by Altamont, dam by Adirondack, under
his tutorage at the Woodland track since last March,
and last week he was bought by D. M. Shanks, of
North Yakima, from his owner, H. S. Royce, of Ta-
coma, for $5O0. Beach can show miles better than
2:20.

Holton Martin is working a four year old filly by a

TROTTING BRED HORSES, to the number of 46,
are to be sold at auction by Mr. William G. Layng
at his new quarters for the Occidental Horse Exchange,
at 246 Third street, on Tuesday next, May 27th. These
horses are from the Alisal Ranch, Santa Barbara
county, and include sons and daughters of Bay Rose
2:201, Beau Brummel 2:161, Almonition 2:24£, Alonza
Hayward 2:30, Will Tricks and other standard bred
stallions. The horses are all of good size, weighing
from 1000 to 1300 pounds. There is no reserve on any-
thing and buyers can depend on getting horses at their
own prices.

ANEW YORK RUMOR has it that Mr. J. B.
Haggin will have the Monmouth course put in
shape for special effort to be made by his colt Water-
color by Watercress to beat Salvator's record of 1:35A
for a mile. Salvator carried 110 pounds when he made
this record as a four year old, and Mr. Haggin believes
Watercolor can shade the time a fraction if all things
are favorable.

Buying Range Horses for South Africa.

Tacoma (Wash.), May 16.— The British government

has buyers in Eastern Washington and Oregon with
orders to purchaie all the available range horses.
These will be shipped to some central distributing
point, probably Lathrop, Mo., and there broken by
professional bronco riders. These horses which pass
inspection after being broken will be shipped to South
Africa for use in the army, the others being sold, some
to owners of coiton fields in the South.

Large shipments of Washington and Oregon horses
were bought by British buyers last year and shipped
to Africa. These gave such good service that the
government decided to secure as many as possible
during the coming spring and summer. Hereford or
Lowther, well known horse traders of Walla Walla,
have just received an order for 1000 horses, to be de-
livered immediately. Prices vary from $35 to $45 for
broken animals and $15 up for unbroken steeds.

WM. F. EGAN, M. R. C. V. C, F. E. V. M. S.

Subscribers to this paper can have advice through these columns
in all cases of sick or injured horses, cattle or dogs by sending a
plain description of the case. Applicants will send their name
and address that they may be identified.

F. S. K. — I have seen in some numbers of the
Breeder and Sportsman that the subscribers have
the privilege of asking questions in regard to horses.
I had a mare foal on the 3d inst. She tore herself and
is gilflirted. Will I be able to breed her again and
will she catch? Will she foal all right?

If the parts are cleansed and disinfected, the edges
of the tear scraped to make a fresh bleeding surface,
then sutured in place, and the parts cleansed with anti-
septics twice a day, it may unite again and avoid the
unsightly appearance and the disagreeable noise made
when driving such an animal. If this be not done the
chances of getting the mare in foai by ordinary means
(without artificial impregnation) are small. If the
mare should become pregnant, the act of foaling
should not cause any more trouble than if she were
not thus affected.

W. S. — I have a stallion 9 years old that has a
breaking out, mostly near the flank on the body. The
skin raises up in a hard welt, about one inch wide, and
keeps [spreading slowly, the welr moving forward.
The hair comes off, but seldom makes a raw sore, and
when the hair comes back it is considerably white.
Although I keep it well greased, he has a few hard
pimples on the shoulder. The horse gets good care,
plenty of grass and good hay and grain, and plenty of
exercise and a clean stable. He is in good condition,
looks fine and feels fine. Can you tell me what to do
ior him? He has been troubled all spring. Sometimes
he gets almost well. I have given him golden seal one
part and saltpeter two part3, mixed, one tablespoonful
once a day, but it don't cure.

Avoid barley as a diet. Wheat hay should also be
avoided. Oat hay is best to feed, and if he be not
worked hard give bran mash every evening Oats
may be fed if he gets regular work. Sulphur inter-
nally is good, and the following ointment applied to
the parts daily: Icthyol 1 oz., compound stearate of
zinc 1 oz., lanaline 4 ozs., vaseline 4ozs. Mix together
and apply as a salve. _

J. M. — Can you give me a receipt to take stains out
of the hair on a white horse?

I cannot answer this. If the parts be allowed to
remain dirty and the stain becomes fixed there, clip-
ping the parts to remove the old stain, and
'"!/i good large blanket and good clean bedding wilj
keep it clean.

On a hot day drink Jackson's Napa Soda lemonade
and be refreshed.

A BIG SALE OF TROTTING STOCK will be held
at the well known mart on the corner of Van
Ness avenue and Market street during the latter part
of next month. At that time Fred H. Chase & Co.
will sell all the broodmares and colts from Hon. Jesse
D. Carr's Gabilan Stock Farm at Salinas. Uncle Jesse
has been wanting to dispose of this stock for some
time, saying that when a man is 87 years old it is time
for him to get out of the hors9 business. There are
forty well bred mares in this consignment and they
hare been bred this year to such stallions as McKin.
ney 2:11}, Nutwood Wilkes 2:16J, Hambletoniau
Wilkes, Boodle Jr. and others, and the yearlings, two
and three year olds are all by first class standard sires.
There are many grandly bred mares and colts, some
that would grace any stock farm in America, and as
great prospects as can be found in any country on
earth. Mr. Can- has always bred from a practical
standpoint. If mares were not sound and robust,
with good looks and size, he did not think them worth
breeding, and he never patronized a poorly bred or
inferior stallion. His many interests in all parts of
the State have kept him from having but very few of
his horses trained, but he has sold many a horse at a
good price and has always been counted one of Cali-
fornia's successful horse breeders. Now that Mr. Carr
iagetting so far advanced in years that he cannot de-
vote his personal attention to such matters as horse
breeding, he thinks the best thing is to dispose of the
entire lot and they will be sold for what they will
bring, with no by-bidding or reserve on anything.
This sale will afford an opportunity for small breeders
to get a few broodmares or coits that will bring them
good money on the investment. There is a scarcity
of broodmares in the country from Maine to California,
and the prices which ordinary horses are now bring-
ing in the market have an upward tendency, with small
prospects of any lowering of prices for years to come.
A good broodmare bred to a good stallion will bring
a revenue that will pay a profit on the investment, the
pasture bills and the service fees. There are many
excellent horses standing for public service each year
for $25 that can be patronized with profit. Every
farmer will find that unless he breeds his own road-
sters for the next five or six years that he will he com-
pelled to pay big prices for suitable horses This sale
of the Gabilan Stock Farm animals will enable pur-
chasers to get some good goods at their own prices.
When Mr. Chase returns from Salinas with a list of
the mares and colts to be sold, we will De able to say
something more definite about the stock.

he trotted without pulling a pound on the bit. He is
one of the greatest road horses in America, and
although his occasional lameness may prevent his
campaigning, doD't ever think when you see his
owner, Mr. Babcock, driving him on the roads at
Coronado that you have a horse that can beat him.
as the chances are you will have to take the dust of
Toggles, whether the road is one or twenty miles long.
Sue 2:12} and Cozad 2:20} will be Mr. Clark's mainstays
on his trip. Sue is in about 860,000 worth of stakes
and everbody who knows Clark will hope to see him

win the most of them.

•'He is very fast, but a mile is a loug distance for
him, and he gets very tired before he reaches the
wire." This was the story told me the other day by
an owner of a trotter that has been showing some fast
quarters during the past month and talked about as a
coming 2:10 performer. The owner added: "Last
February, when I first began working this horse, I
fully intended entering him through the Eastern Grand
Circuit and thought I had an M. & M. winner. He
showed me an eighth at a 2:10 gait before the first of
March, and I was all swelled up with the idea that I
at last owned a world beater. I think different now,
as while my horse can show an eighth in 16 seconds
almost any day on the track or on the road, he has
never yet been able to trot a half-mile faster than 1:08
and is stopping some when the half-mile pole is reached.
He is not a counterfeit, as he does not stop because he
does not like it, but because his lungs are not right.
He puffs like a fat man at the end of a fast quarter
and wheezes like a high pressure engine at the half.
A mile is simply too far for him; it is beyond bis limit
and that's all there is to it. I have driven him forty
miles in the forenoon of a summer's day on a trip into
the country, given him a rest of a couple of hours and
roaded him back home before dark, and the next day
he seemed ready to make another just such trip, but
if I drive him a mile at his best he shows the effects
of the effort for a week. I will not race him this year
nor at any future time, as I know he is not a race
horse, but no man on earth can make me believe he is
not game. He will do all he can and try to do more,
but a mile at speed is beyond his capacity and he is
not one of the sort that willever be able to earn money
on the race track. He is one of the kind that can trot
a quarter in 35 seconds and die coming home in 2:30.
If the heats were around 2:40 I believe I could win a
race or two with him. but that is not fast enough for
country club races these days:''

very well, as he got more than he paid for him by
considerable.

Down at the Fresno track, where Charley Clark
has been preparing a small string of trotters to cam-
paign on the Grand Circuit, is a four year old gelding
by Junio out of Maud Whippleton , that is looked upon
by the raisin eaters as the nearest approach to the two-
minute trotter that was ever foaled in the great San
Joaquin valley. Clark has been working this gelding
for the owner, Joe Weil, and the railbirds at the track
say that he has driven him a quarter in 3U seconds.
One would think from his breeding that the four year
old would be at least 16 hands high and weigh 1200
pounds, but he is a different sort of a horse. About a
thousand pounds is his weight and his height close to
15.3. He is said to be as clean turned and clean gaited
as anybody's trotter. I was told this week by a
Fresnoite that it was the owner's intention to have the
gelding worked a mile in about 2:15 the last of this
week and then turn him out to run and feed and grow
until Clark comes back in the fall. If no accident
happens him the intention is to enter him well on the
Grand Circuit next year. His dam, Maud Whippleton,
is a standard and registered mare that was bred by
Mr. D. S. Fraser, of Petaluma. She was sired by
Fred Loeber's old horse Whippleton, that weighed all
of 1300 pounds, and her dam was by Gladiator. Junio
was 16} har.ds high and weighed 1280 pounds.

Charley Clark will start for the East with his string
about the first week in June. He will leave Toggles
2:0*'. behind him in all probability, as the son of
Strathway is on the shelf and will in all probability
never go down the line again in the regular races.
His old lameness from rheumatism has troubled him
much this spring at times and Mr. Clark thinks it is
useless to take him where he has to trot to his limit
in nearly every heat and meet the best horses in train-
ing. Toggles has been a great trotter in his day, and
when he was just right, with no aches or pains to
trouble him, few trotters could keep up with him
when he struck his best gait. A quarter in 30 seconds
could be covered by him seemingly with perfect ease
andthe manner in which he held his head and swung
it from side to side made a pretty sight, especially as

I know of several horses that were in training last
year that were counterparts of the one above described..
They are like the old time quarter horses that ran on
the racing paths in our boyhood times. I remember
one that had a big reputation in the county where I
spent my salad days. Her owner (she was a gray
mare) was a dry goods clerk with pompadour hair and
long legs, and he was generally ready to make a match
with anybody. He usually employed some young fel-
low to ride her in her races, but rather than pay for-
feit he would be his own jockey and when astride the
little gray his long legs would nearly touch the ground .
I don't think this mare weighed over 750 or 800 pounds,
yet she would carry her owner 220 yards in about 12
seconds. Brown, that was the clerk's name, rode her
forty miles one Saturday night and won a race with
her the next day in Lake county and rode her home
Sunday night. He always claimed, and no one, that I
ever heard of, disputed him, that she was the gamest
piece of horseflesh in Napa county. If he had ever
started her in a half-mile race she would have then
and there earned a reputation of being a quitter or a
"dog,'' as they now call them. She was simply a
quarter mare and her owner knew it. There are
hundreds of quarter horses among trotters and pacers
and, sad to relate, many of the owners never discover
the fact except after a heavy expenditure of money.

As the Palo Alto two year olds brought forty per
cent more on the average than they did last year
Superintendent Frank Covey is entitled to much credit.
He had a very hard fight to get his consignment to
Cleveland in any sort of condition at all, and the result
of the sale shows that „he public wanted the goods
with the Palo Alto brand. About the time James
Thompson was engaged to go to the farm and begin
work on them, the rainy season began in earnest and
during the months of February and March, there
were but fourteen days during which they could be
worked owing to the heavy downpours. Two weeks
is not much time to devote to 48 two year olds, and
when the weather cleared in April, distemper made its
appearance and an even dozen had to he cut out of
the training barns and scratched from the sale cata-
logue. More rain in April followed and Mr. Covey .
had three carloads of green babies. 36 in all to start
East with. Seven of these were taken sick with dis-
temper on the way over, were also scratched from the
sale but the genial Superintendent of Palo Alto,
nothing daunted, went into the ring with 2!l head and
beat last year's average by forty percent. A pretty '
good record that.

I notice that Santa Rosa Stock Farm did not sell B.
S. Dillon 2:25, but withdrew him from the sale. This]
did not surprise me, as the five year old gelding worked
so fast before leaving Pleasanton tLat he looked good
enough to keep, and Millard Sanders will probably be
teaming him in the races over there this year. He is
by the farm's stallion Sidney Dillon and out of the
famous broodmare Biscari (dam of five in the list), by
Dirertor 2:17; second dam another famous mare Bicari
(dam of 6 including Pancoast) by Harold; third dam
Belle (the dam of Belmont 64) by Mambrino Chief.
B. S. Dillon is bred all right, and as he worked a mile
in 2:12 and a half in 1:05 last month, looks rather a
good candidate for almost any class of pacers. The
other four sold brought an average of nearly nine
hundred dollars each, a good showing.

All the horsemen are talking about the very success-
ful sale of California bred horses that came off at
Cleveland last week. A full report of all the sales is
given on another page of this paper, which will show
just how much money each onij brought. There was
but one real disappointment during the week. Wil-
lard Stimson had refused $5000 for Julia M. by Zombro
before leaving Los Angeles, and she only brought
$2600. I hear that she made a very poor showing on the
track the day before the sale, a quarter in 385 seconds
being the best she could do and was badly gaited at
that. As friend C. H. Harrison of Los Angeles writes,
Stimson would have been wise had he taken his tip
and engaged Walter Maben to go to Cleveland to show
the mare, although it is not unlikely that the cause of
her bad showing was something unavoidable, as often
occurs with mares. Julia M. worked a mile in 2:13A at
Los Angeles and did it very nicely, but could show
nothing like such a clip at Cleveland, It was an off
day with her and Mr. Stimson had to stand the loss.
Better luck to him next time. He sold The Vendome

Mr. A. B. Spreckels, who attended the sale, was
greatly pleased, I learn, with the result of his venture.
The pride of the string, the five year old chestnut
mare by Dexter Prince out of Point Lace, brought
within a very few dollars of the price Mr. Spreckels
had marked and they all sold at fair figures. When
it is remembered that this was the first direct consign-
ment from Aptos Farm, that they were given less than
three months' work and had not been handled for
speed, the average of $437 per head is a remarkable
one. Sandy Smith was complimented on all sides on
the condition in which he landed the 23 head at
Cleveland.

Of the Griffith consignment Rect2:16J sold for*17(in,
not $1100 as reported last week by telegraph. He
went to Mr. John H. Shults, of Portchester, Xew
York, who was one of the heavy buyers at this sale
and picked out good ones every time. Col. J. C. Kirk-
patrick, of this city, was much taken with Rect's work
at Pleasanton this spring, and although he has quite a
stable of roadsters, sent a bid of $1000 to Cleveland to
he placed on the son of Direct and Lily Stanly. I ex-
pect to hear of Mr. Shults cutting quite a swath when
he starts Reet on the New York Speedway, as the
gelding is one of the fastest brushers and best actors
ever driven. Domino brought more than anyone here
thought he would. He is a wonderfully fast pacer;
but few horsemen here guessed his auction price at
more than $2500 and when it was learned that $3400
was paid for him, they considered it a good sale.

A gentleman who has been engaged in breeding
trotters for several years in California and'has raced
some in a small way purely for the love of seeing
horses of his own breeding win races and get records,
remarked to me last Tuesday that he owned a trotter
that could beat 2:20 three times, but did not think he
could win with him in the green classes. His reason
was that he thought the green class trotters would
put in their heats in about 2:15 this year. I begged to
differ with the gentleman and will again go on record
with the prediction that any horse that can trot three
heats in succession in from 2:18 to 2:20 can win enough
money in the green classes "here this year to pay quite
a profit on his year's work. I know of several trotters
that will be able to trot a mile in 2:15 provided they
get the pole and keep their feet during the entire mile,
but that cannot trot two heats, let alone three or five,
within three seconds of that time the same day. 2:15
speed, that is a quarter in 33} seconds, will be very
common on the training tracks by the first of August,
but miles at that gait will be as few and far between
on that date as angels' visits. How many new 2:15
trotters showed up on the California circuit last year?
Solo 2:14}, Alta Vela 2:15, Thos. R. 2:15 and Ned
Thorne 2:115, are all that lean remember. Thomas

R. was the best winner of the bunch and he was beaten
several heats in slower time than his record. Of the
trotters that started in the slow classes last year Mc-
Kenna won four races and $1587 out of ninestarts, Nora
McKinney 2:1Q\ won three races and $1405 out of
seven starts, and What Is It 2:16} won three races
and $1055 out of four starts. Their records were their
extreme efforts and not one of them would have won
his entrance money in the same classes over East. If
any owner or trainer has a horse that he is confident
can trot three heats as good as '2:18 in any race where
he is good, he can be pretty sure of winning his share
of the purses.

I don't want to disparage our California trotters in
the least, and I believe we have more good ones here
in proportion to the number bred than any State in
the Union. But for some reason or other, probably
because fast records are getting more common, there
is a general belief that a green trotter must be able to
beat 2:15 three times to win any money on the Califor-
nia circuit. It is all nonsense. A man came down
here from North Yakima, Washington, last month,
advertised for a green trotter and stood ready to pay
$2000 for one that could beat 2:20. He was buying on
the "Missouri*1 plan and wanted the speed shown to
him, not simply talked about. He was asked more
than his limit for two or three good ones, and went
home without a horse. I heard it on good authority
that on two occasions he went to see a sure 2:20 trotter
worked and that 2:22A was the fastest mile he saw either
of them accomplish. There are many trotters that
show 2:15 speed at some part of the mile, but very few
of them are equal to three heats in 2:18 or better,
while five or six heats at that rate will put a big ma.
jority of them in the list of those that "also started.''
Thos. R. 2:15 that won $2740. more money than any
other trotter won in California last year, was second
in six races out of his eleven starts. He was beaten
heats in 2:184, 2:22}, 2:19$, 2:20 and 2:25, and reached
the 2:15 mark but twice during the season. Every
horseman in California looked upon Thomas R. as a
2:10 prospect, and had he kept right he would have
reached that record this year, but the fact remains
that he was the largest money winner of California
campaigned trotters in 1901, and in no race did he trot
three heats in 2:15. The trainer who gets his horse in
shape to go three heats from 2:18 to 2:20 and drives
him that fast in his races will not have to walk home
at the end of this year's campaign.

THE BLUE RIBBON SALE.

California Bred Horses Bring Good Prices at the
Cleveland Vendue.

During the latter part of March this year, Hans
Frellson went to Pleasanton with a string of horses to
work for speed and among them was a four year old
filly belonging to F. Gommet, of this city. The
B. & S. camera was pointed at her that week and her
picture appeared on the front page of this paper in
the issue of March 29th. Hans told me at that time
that the filly had only been started up that month
and he could not tell whether she would develop much
speed. As she was a particularly large and handsome
young mare, I asked her to stand for a photo and she
behaved very nicely. A gentleman who was at the
Pleasanton track two weeks ago last Saturday tells
me that he saw Hans drive her three heats and that
the time was 2:40, 2:25, 2:20. There were a dozen
watches held on her the last heat and all agreed that
she paced the four quarters just alike — 35 seconds.
Now this is something out of the ordinary. Five
weeks is all the track work this mare has had and a
third heat in 2:20 is certainly a very handsome show-
ing and Hans is to be complimented. During this fast
mile the mare was never urged by voice or whip, I am
told, but took her own gait and kept it. There are
half a dozon Seymour Wilkeses that would be heard
from this year if they were trained and raced.

The Southern California circuit will be much more
pretentious than most horsemen imagined when the
announcement was first made in regard to it. I see
by the advertisement of the Ventura association, which
will open this circuit August (ith, that the free-for-all
trotters are offered a purse of $1000 and the free-for-all
pacers one of the same amount. This is good money
in any country and I understand quite a number of
the best Los Angeles strings will enter in these races
and come north by the coast route and take in the
entire Southern circuit.

The Lawson stable in training at Dover, N. H., com-
prises 18 head of horses, made up as follows: Boralma
2:07, Glory 2:11!, William H. Moody 2:12.1, Dreamer (3)

Tell your friends to stop at Hotel Rosslyn, Los
Angeles,

Herewith is presented a complete report of the sale
of California bred horses at the great Fasig-Tipton
Blue Ribbon Sale which opened at Cleveland May 13th
and continued during the week. The consignment of
two-year-olds from the celebrated Palo Alto Stock
Farm brought an average of 40 per cent more than
was received last year, and Superintendent Frank W.
Covey, under whose direct personal supervision the
horses were prepared for the sale, received congratu-
lations from all sides on the result. Considering the
fact that one whole carload of colts had to be left at
home on account of distemper, and that seven of the
most promising two-year-olds were attacked with this
disease on the way over and had to be withdrawn from
the sale, the prices obtained must be very pleasing to
all concerned. It was the "greenest" lot of two-year-
olds that ever left Palo Alto, the unusually wet season
during February aad March preventing training work
almost entirely, and while the youngsters showed size
and good looks at Cleveland speed was not attempted.
Could Superintendent Covey have had one more
month to devote to these colts before they were shipped
East the prices might have been considerably higher,
but could hardly have been more satisfactory.

The consignment of twenty-three head from Mr. A.
B Spreckels' Aptos Farm were particularly lucky, as
the entire lot were landed in Cleveland by the indefat-
igable and irrepressible "Sandy" Smith in good order.
They averaged $437, which is a remarkably good
showing for a band of green ones taken up in January
and given three months' work. It was Aptos Farm's
first sale and can be put down as a complete success.

Willard Stimson, C. L. Griffith, and Santa Rosa
Stock Farm had smaller consiguments and higher
averages, but they all had speed to show, ready for
the road and the races, and as a consequence there
were higher prices paid for individual horses. The
statement sent here by the Associated Press that
Domino showed a mile at Cleveland before the sale in
2:05i has not been confirmed, but he was driven a half
by Bert Webster in 1:033 on the day prior to the sale.

The list of California horses sold, with the prices
obtained and the names of the buyers, is here given:

"Sandy" Made a Hit.

Cleveland, May 17th, 1902.
Breeder and Sportsman": The Blue Ribbon sale,
the greatest one of its kind ever held here is over.
Californians and their horses played a great part in
making it a shining success. Domino by Rect, the
young pacer from C. L. Griffith's Pleasanton farm
created a sensation by going a half on Monday in l:03l(
On the strength of his performance, biddiDg for him
was lively, and the price paid, $3600, by A. B. Cum-
mings of Pennsylvania, was the top one of the sale.
The Santa Rosa offerings went well and the demand
for the two year olds from Palo Alto caused them to
bring prices that were much more satisfactory than
those obtained in 1901 for Rowellan and the others of
the lot.

But, coming down to individuals who came over the
mountains with the horses, it was Sandy Smith who
made the hit of the week. Representing Aptos Farm,
he arrived here the Sunday before sale week with 23
head of young green horses, every one of them in pink
of condition and with not even a hair turned in transit.
This same Sandy has been a familiar figure around
Glenville for the last twenty-five years and when the
news of his arrival was heralded throughout the
haunts of the horsemen, everyone flocked to see him
and the stuff he had. They found Sandy even more
affable than ever, but entirely wrapt up in care of his
charges. For a week he showed off his colts to good
advantage and when sale day rolled round the name
"Aptos" was heard as much as "Palo Alto." It was
in the speed showing in the sale ring that Smith had
all others beaten and beaten easily. Every one of his
colts, only a few months before running wild on the
range, handled himself like a city bred horse and
there was no display of wildness. They handled them-
selves like the trotters that their breeding indicates
that they must be. Smith knew just how to show
them off and his admirable han ling added many a
dollar to their purchase price.

Smith will be retained by Mr. Spreckels and is going
back to California within the next week or ten days.
Twelve horses go back with him. Venus II 2:11J and
Czarina 2:13J, will be picked up at Toledo where they
are at Ketcham farm having been bred to Cresceue
2:02}. Then Mr. Spreckels bought two saddle horses
from a Kentucky sale consignment besides picking up
a carriage team in New York. The other six are from
the Palo Alto lot. Tbey were seized with distemper
while en route here and were not in condition to be
offered. They will be sent to the Old Glory sale in
New York next November. R. W. R.

Silver Cup Hackney Sale Successful.

The Silver Cup Hackney sale held every year by
Mr. Grand at the American Horse Exchange began
last Tuesday. The cup was won by the Hon. Henry
Fairfax of Aldie, Loudoun county, Va., the conditions
being that the cup should go to the consignor of the
best six horses. His winning six were by Danesfort,
out of hackney and trotting bred mares. His average
was $862. Dr, F. C. Grenside paid the highest price
for a beautiful bay mare by Danesfort, and other pur-
chasers were Messrs. H. R. Miller, Paul D. Cravath,
J. W. Clarke and F. C. Church. F. J. Kimball's six
averaged $345, Susannah and Ladysmith, a fine pair
of bays by Pha?ton, fetching $1000; F. G. Bourne's
entries, five in number, realized $337 each; Mr. Cam-
eron's six brought $226 each. The average of Mr.
Ogden's consignment was $396, A. A. Housman getting
the pick of the lot in Carlotta and Jackdaw, a pair of
prize winners, for $1400. The Ross consignment aver-
aged $392, and Colonel Astor's lot averaged $284.

Mr. Grand deserves a deal of credit for doing so
much to stimulate interest in the hackney horse. If
the breeders would do as much on their own account
results might be different. Some of the hackney
breeders have felt that the enormously successful sales
of trotting bred carriage horses at the Horse Ex-
change were gotten up for the purpose of injuring the
hackney, which is of course an unreasonable impres-
sion. The market reflects more than anything else
the survival of the fittest. The question as to whether
the American trotting bred carriage horse is any better
than the hackney is not, of course, settled by any such
judiciary, but the native has been pushed to the front
by those interested.

We congratulate the hackney breeders who re-
sponded to Mr. Grand's overtures and trust that in
future they will be even more enterprising and cour-
ageous. The cup presented by Mr. Grand cost $500.—
Rider and Xhiver, May 17th.

Strike!— if they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda

Answers to Correspondents.

Hanford (Cal.), May 20, 1902.

Breeder and Sportsman — I would like to submit
to you a question which is of importance to horsemen
and myself in particular.

Three horses named "A," "B" and "C" are started
in a trotting race. Three best in five. There is first
and second money. For first place A wins the first,
second and third heats (A, 1-1-1). For the second
place B takes the first and second heats (B, 2-2-3) and
C takes the third heat (C, 3-3-2). Which heat decides
the race? What horse wins second money, B or C?

Rowen Irwin.

In the above case the third heat decided the race, as
A had a majority of the heats required by the condi-
tions to his credit when it was finished. Section 4 of
Rule 36, National Trotting Association, is as follows:
"In deciding the rank of horses other than the win-
ner, as to second, third and fourth places, etc., to be
assigned among such as remain in the race entitled to
be placed at the conclusion of the last heat thereof,
the several positions which have been assigned to each
horse so contending shall be considered as to every
heat in the race — that is, horses having won two heats,
better than those winning one. * * * * A horse
that has been placed "second" one heat better than a
horse that has been placed "third" any number of
heats."

It will be seen by the above that according to the
positions given in your letter that B was entitled to
second money. — Ed. B. & S.

Breeder and Sportsman — In a race given by the
Kings County Agricultural Association on May 17,
1902, the following horses started and finished as
follows:

Doctor W 1 1 1

PearlC 2 2 3

Si S 3 3 2

Glenway 4 4 4

The judges awarded Si S. 6econd, Pearl C. third.
Pearl C.'s owner went to the judges' stand and offered
a protest before they had anhouneed the position and
awarded the premiums. The judges and secretary
would not recognize his protest and ordered him out
of the stand. Then a few minutes later said to him,
you will get second place. When he went to the sec-
retary's office at seven o'clock p. M., the secretary had
paid second money to the owner of Si S. Will you
please state through the Breeder and Sportsman
which horse was entitled to second money and how to
proceed to get it.

R. F. Chalmers,
627 K St., Fresno, Cal.
As will be seen by the rule quoted in the answer
above, Pearl C. is entitled to second money. As to
the proceedure we suggest that you make a written
demand on the Kings County Agricultural Association
for second money. If it is refused file a complaint be-
fore the Pacific Board of Appeals of the National
Trotting Association, of which the Kings County
Association is a member. File your complaint with
F. W. Kelley. Secretary, 36 Geary street, San Fran-
cisco—Ed. B. & S.

Vet, Oljimpia— 1. What is the breeding on the

$500 Purses at San Jose.

[San Jose Mercury ]

The Directors of Agricultural District, No. 5, held
their annual meeting this week. George Y. Bollinger
was elected President of the society and H. H. Main
Secretary.

The Directors determined to hold an agricultural
fair July 3d, 4th and 5th. There are to be full exhibits
of live stock, poultry and everything from the orchard
and ranch, as well as exhibits from the factory, such
as wagons, plows, pumps, agricultural machinery, etc.
There is also to be a display of art and art work, these
displays to be given in the pavilion.

It is proposed to make the live stock display as per-
fect as the county and section can show. Daily during
the fair there is to be some special attractions in con-
nection with the live stock, especially of fine breeding
t orses.

The Secretary was directed to proceed to advertise
for bids for privileges of various kinds and to make all
necessary arrangements to secure the exhiDits.

The speed program for the three days as so far
agreed upon is:

July 3 — 2:40 trot, 2:25 pace and free-for-all trot.

July 4—2:18 trot, 2:18 pace and free-for-all pace.

July 5—2:25 trot, 2:14 pace and 2:14 trot.

Purses $500. Entries will close June 25th.

In addition to these races some specials will be
arranged, probably something for each day.

Success of County Fairs.

[Columbus in Western Horseman ]
Considerable curiosity is expressed at times by horse-
men regarding the popularity and success of county
fairs. Many are unable to account for this fact, and I
yet, to the writer, there appear certain reasons that •
seem extremely plausible. County fairs are growing
more popular each season, and we find that a large i
majority of these institutions are money-making ven.
tures. Now, it happens that quite a large per cent of
the men who love the light harness horse for what he
can accomplish are not able to fit, furnish and equip a !
trotter or pacer for a campaign through the Grand
Circuit. These men take a delight in the horse for his
own sake; they patronize the very best stallions within
reach, grow and educate the foal, which is really the i
"whole thing" with them, and in due time their I
thoughts naturally turn to the race track, where they I
hope to see realized the dreams of their past years. To
venture far away from home is a matter entirely out
of the question; they can train the colt or horse until
such time as he needs polishing up for a race, when he
is placed in the local training stable of some quite
capable man at the county-seat town. The county
fair affords all such owners an opportunity of racing
their colts and aged horses, without going to any
great expense. This fact is taken advantage of each
succeeding year through the United States, by thou-
sands of enthusiastic horsemen. Perhaps, in a majority
of cases, the animals thus bred and educated do not
actually appear in races, but their owners have grown
enthusiastic and become permanent patrons of the
county fairs. If their own horse has fallen by the
way, they must needs attend the county fair to see
how fast the other horses are compelled to trot or pace !
in order to win the very race that they had set their |
hearts upon winning. The man that is enthusiastic
enough to try winning a race at the county fair this I
year, even though he lose, or fail to get his horse ',
ready to start, is certain to make an attempt next sea- '
son, or, if not then, at some future time. Once a horse-
man, always a horseman: once a colt breeder, always
a colt breeder; once a patron of the speed ring, always j
a "hankering" after the fifty or hundred-dollar purse
at the coiihty fair. The county fair is the democratic
trysting place of horsemen, there all men are equal,
providing they possess a love in common for the horse.
J. P. Morgan may buy up all the railroads and steam- I
ship lines in the world; the proxy hunters may destroy
the Grand Circuit; the outlaws of the turf may make
life miserable on the minor circuits, but nothing can .
harm the county fair. From it have graduated such
men as Ed. Geers, Myron McHenry, Scott McCoy. Joe
Rea and scores of first-class drivers. The ranks of
Grand Circuit, matinee and speedway horses are yearly
replenished with promising material that has been
developed at county fairs. All honor, then, to the
county fair. May its numbers increase and its profits
never grow less.

Coming Fair at Stockton.

Within a week the Stockton race track will be ready I
for horsemen to train their gallopers and harness ani-
mals on. The Driving Citib has men at work now
putting it in fine shape for the race meet, which will
eventuate here immediately after the State Fair. The
races this year will be far ahead of any held here be-
fore. There will be more and better horses and larger
purses. The past reputation of the Driving Club is
helping it wonderfully this year in securing subscrip-
tions from citizens, and there have been many offers
already to make pavilion exhibits. A number of new
features will be promulgated both at the track and in
the pavilion. Thereis talk of eliminating bookmaking
and having only auction pools and Paris mutuals. —

Admiral Dewey 2:14}, the son of Bingen 2:06} and
Nancy Hanks 2:04, is showing great things in his work,
and it is claimed that he will beat 2:10 away off this
season.

Do you want a trotter for the circuit? An adver-
tiser has one that he claims can show three heats in
5:17 or better and will take $1250 for. This is a
oargain.

Monroe Salisbury said before he left Pleasanton that
Ed Lafferty's four year old Silver Bow colt out of
3race by Buccaneer was one of the best prospects he
>ver saw.

Among the trainers who are using the Alameda
•rack to train on are Messrs. Groom, Berryman, Breed,
kelson, Williams, Brown, Morrison, Lapham and sev-
iral others.

A press dispatch from Memphis states that Geers
rove The Abbot a mile in 2:104 on Wednesday, and
hat Fred Gerken sent The Monk a mile in 2:15, last
uarter in 30 seconds.

Tom Marsh has made a radical change in the shoe-
ig of Boralma. He has had the toes of his front
hoes squared, instead of rounded, and predicts that
; will be a great improvement.

The Silver Bow horse Sir Archer, that C. Morrison
of Oakland is getting ready to trot this year, is show-
ing up well although he has been sent no fast miles yet.
He should get a place in the 2:20 list by fall.

Doc Wilkes 2:15* will be on the circuit this year.
H. D. Brown has this fast pacer going like a race horse
and there is a good chance of getting money with him
in his class and probably reducing his record.

The trainer who goes through the circuit this year
looking for "specials" will get most gloriously left.
There is a determination on all sides to have none of
these "pestiferous" races on the program this year.

Mr. Geo. Kingsbury, manager of the Lick House in
this city, received a letter from Wm. Hogoboom this
week, which states that the writer is doing well at
Walla Walla with his horses. Lynmont is meeting
with great favor among the breeders of Washington
and has 84 mares booked for this season, nearly all of
which have been bred. Mr. Hogoboom's many friends
in California will be pleased to hear of his success up
north.

Not all the horses are gone from the Pleasanton
track by any means, although the best of the lot have
been sent East. There are still left Ed Lafferty, with
8 to 10 head; S. K. Trefry, 1; G. A. Kelly, 2; Sam Gam-
ble, 2; Hans Frellson, 12; J. M. Alviso, 2; G. A. Dsvis,

$25 must be paid June 1st on each two year old trot-
ter or pacer expected to start in the two year old divi-
sion of the Kentucky Futurity this year. There is
$5000 allotted to the trotters and $1000 to the pacers.

It is reported that the State Agricultural Society
will be asked to offer a $2000 stake for trotters and one
for pacers this year. If the request is complied with
harness racing will have a boom in California this
year.

Colonel F. N. Lawrence, New York City, has bought
of Colonel H. D. Mix the well known Speedway trot-
ting mare Ambo 2:181 by Warren 2:20} and will breed
her to Oakland Baron 2:09}/. Colonel Lawrence raised
Ambo.

Sally Brass, dam of Dick Hubbard 2:09}, by George
Wilkes, now 26 years old, recently foaled a fine filly
by Blake 2:13} son of Nutwood. Sally Brass and her
foal are owned by Miles A. Leech, Cornland. 111., .who
also owns Blake.

The San Jose speed program has nine purses of $500
for harness horses. Entries close June 15th and the
meeting opens July 3d to continue three days.

It is not a matter of general knowledge that Million-
aire J. B. Haggin has on his Elmendorf farm, near
Lexington, Ky., a band of upward of 50 richly-bred
trotting mares, which he is mating to Dan Cupid 2:09}
and James Madison 2:17f.

M. D. Madigan, Chicago, has matched his pacer,
lone 2:081 against Persenette 2:09}, owned by W. R.
Code, Princeton, Til. The Chicago man gave odds of
$1500 to $1000 and the match will be decided at the
summer meeting at Princeton.

A horse that has attracted a great deal of interest
at the track is the unbeaten California pacer Sir
Albert S. 2:08} in Millard F. Sanders' stable. He is a
good looking, well-made bay gelding and fills the eyes
of the local horsemen. — Cleveland American Sportsman.

This is a filly year for the McKinneys. Out of 55
foals by that stallion dropped this year, 52 are fillies.
This is a remarkable fact and is the largest proportion
of fillies we ever heard reported from one year's ser-
vice. There will be at least 30 more foals by him
dropped by July 1st.

At Cleveland M.A.Bradley's black mare Eddrea
2:29J, has a foal by John A. McKerron. This young-
ster should certainly develop into a great wagon per-
former as its sire has a matinee wagon record of 2:06},
its dam a matinee wagon record of 2:17|, and its gran-
dam, Mattie Bassett, one of 2:22*.

In the Empire $5000 purse for 2:20 trotters at the
Empire City Park, New York meeting, next Septem-
ber, F. S. Fisher of White Plains, N. Y., has entered
no less than nine horses. This is undoubtedly the
record for the number of entries by one owner in a
trotting purse event of like nature.

Mr. J. Breed of Alameda has a pacing mare that is
howing mighty well for a green one. Mr. Breed is
raining her himself and turned the track with her
1 2:20 one day last week.

Hurrah for Stockton. The Driving Club of that
city is now engaged in making out its program of races
for the fair this year. The club has decided, for one
thing, to offer a purse of $1500, to be known as the
Stockton Chamber of Commerce Stake, for a pacing
race. It will probably be for the 2:20 class.

The chestnut gelding Lasso, by Heir-at-Law, 2:05},
dam thoroughbred, will act as pacemaker for Boralma
this season. Lasso was used to prompt The Abbot
and pulled Ed Geers a quarter to sulky in 22} seconds.
He was worked at the trot for a time, and showed a
mile in 2:22 at that gait before his value as a pace-
maker was discovered.

Sandy Smith is expected to arrive home this week
with a carload of horses. He is bringing back Venus
II. and Czarina that were bred to Cresceus 2:02}, two
fine Kentucky saddle horses, a carriage team purchased
by Mr. A. B". Spreckels, besides a half dozen of the
Palo Alto two year olds that were too sick with dis-
temper to be sold at Cleveland.

In view of the fact that a majority of the clubs in
membership with the League of Amateur Driving
Clubs has expressed a preference for the first week in
September, as the date of the competition for the
Amateur Challenge Trophy, the Gentlemen's Driving
Club of Boston has withdrawn its request for the last
week in September as the date of the competition, and
cast its vote In favor of the first week in September.

The road users of New York city have done the
sensible thing in forming an association composed of
road drivers, truckmen, automobilists and cyclists to
protect their mutual interest. The day has gone by
when these road users should have any feeling except
that of mutual regard for each other's interest. By
uniting for the purpose of securing needed reforms in
regard to the etiquette of the road, these gentlemen
have set a good example for the whole country. — 7he

The selection of Col. John E. Thayer as successor to
J. M. Forbes on the Board of Review of the National
Trotting Association, will meet the approval of every-
one, and will be especially pleasing to the c mpaigning
horsemen and drivers. Col. Thayer is president of the
New England Trotting Horse Breeders' Association,
president of the Boston Horse Show Association and
of the Worcestor East Agricultural Society. No one
has done more to elevate and popularize light harness
sport than he.

Mr. S. TJ. Lockett, of Corona, writes under date of
May 15th, that his mare Last Chance by Mambrino
Patchen, dam by Dudley 's Richmond, son of Mambrino
Pilot by Mambrino Chief, foaled a nice colt by McKin-
ney 2:11} on the 13th inst. The colt is a bay with
small star on forehead and right front foot white. Mr.
Lockett refused an offer of $500 for the youngster the
morning he wrote the letter. Last Chance is one of
the few daughters of Mambrino Patchen remaining,
and Mr. Lockett prizes the colt very highly. Look
out for the youngster in the Stallion Stake which is
trotted in 1905 at Sacramento.

P. W. Bellingall, of Oakland, has great faith in the
blood of Secretary and always has a few of that horse's
get in his barn. He is a great road driver and can
teach a horse how to go about as well as the pro-
fessional trainers. He is now driving a very handsome
bay mare by Secretary, dam, a mare by the thorough-
bred horse Gladiator. She is a trotter and pretty
green, but is learning and shows a burst of speed now
and then that is of the 2:15 order. She is gaited some-
thing like the Knight gelding out of a mare by Sec-
retary that Mr. B. sold recently to Judge Murphy for
$1500.

The horse market is not very good in Southern Cali-
fornia, judging from a sale held at Edgewood Park
Stock Farm at Savannah, Los Angeles county, on
Monday last. Horses went for almost nothing.
Freckels 12,600, with a record of 2:30, sold for $100;
Zoe M., a bay mare by Sultan, with a suckling by
Freckels at foot, brought $105, and a ten year old geld-
ing out of this mare brought the same amount. Mr.
C. A. Harrison, proprietoi of the Hotel Rosslyn at Los
Angeles, bought a yearling filly by Jud Wilkes out of
Betsey Herr by Mambrino Patchen, for $18 and the
old mare sold for $25. Mr. Harrison says the filly Is
good looking enough to enter in stakes and that she is
a trotter. Lee Rose bought the mare. Mr. Harrison
thinks he will claim the name of San Gabriel for this
filly. P. W. Hodges is training Mr. Harrison's Alta-
mont colt Printers Ink and thinks he is as good a
trotting prospect as he ever saw.

A serious and fatal accident to several good horses
happened at the G. Pestdorff place at Russell't station,
Alameda county, last Sunday evening. There were
fifty or sixty horses and mules on pasture there and
breaking through the railroad's fence got on the track
in the way of the midnight freight. Eight horses and
two mules were killed, among them the broodmare
Nancy by Engineer, owned by Mr. A. O. Gott of Ala-
meda. Nancy was the dam of Cydia by Diablo 2:09J,
Paramount by Altamont 2:26, Mephisto by Diablo and
the two year old Alameda Wilkes by Nutwood Wilkes
2:16*. She was about due to foal to Nutwood Wilkes
again. Mepbisto was struck by the train also and
very badly bruised, but will probably come out all
right except a few scars. Mr. John Lutgen of Ala-
meda lost a very fine four year old filly by Altamont
out of Oakville Maid. She had all four legs broken
and had to be shot by the railroad employes. It was
over a half mile between the points where the first
and the last horses were killed.

Driving Club Races at Sacramento.

At Sacramento last Saturday members of the Driv-
ing Club added to the attractiveness of the day's
racing at Agricultural Park by giving five races.
Geo. W. Jackson was presiding judge and was assisted
in the stand by Harry Bell and Hon. Frank J). Ryan.
Hi Hogaboom wielded the starter's flag and did good
work.

The opening race, a special trot, mile, brought out
four starters: Duke of Cameo, Charles Silvey; Queen
of Bavaria, owned by George H. Clark and driven by
Vet Trvon: John I.. F. M. Ennis; and Harry N., C. A.
Nelson.

Duke of Cameo got the pole in the drawing, the best
of the start by half a length, and led all the way, jog-
ging in an easy winner by two lengths from Queen of .
Bavaria, with Harry N. third. Time, 2:2*.

The second event, special trot, mile, brought out
Zulene, Albert Elkus; Rosa Gold, I. H. McMullen;
Arrow, W. Lamphrey; and Boxer, Dr. Weldon. Rosa
Gold led to the three-quarter pole, where she had
thirty lengths to the good. Boxer broke after passing
the wire, made a brave drive of it, and coming down
the stretch was overhauling the mare hand over hand
•when he left his feet, and the race was won by Rosa
Gold, Boxer second and Arrow third. Time, 2:39}.

For the third, special trot, mile dash, the entries
were Monroe B.. F. J. Ruhstaller; Fred Ames, George
H. Clark; Baby Button, F. Wright: Silver Bee, W.
Harris and Elevator, Dr. W. A. Root.

In scoring Mayor Clark's sulky was upset, his horse
rearing, and he was somewhat bruised.

They got off with a very even start, and Silver Bee
fell behind and the others went together up the back
stretch, Monroe B. in the lead. At the five-eighths
Silver Bee began to close up, and passed Baby Button.
On the turn he challenged the other two, but Fred
Ames stumbled and fell, giving Mayor Clark another
hard fall. Silver Bee was directly behind him, and
Harris had to pull him up short, losing the race by
the mishap, probably. Monroe B. was never headed
and Qame in first by five lengths, Silver Bee second,
four lengths ahead of Baby Button. Fred Ames ran
in and was caught at the saddling paddock. Mayor
Clark was quitt. badly shaken up, but not seriously
hurt. Time, 2:25$.

The fourth race, a special trot, mile dash, was con-
tested by Canny Scot, Morrison; George Direct, Wil-
liam Sayre; Toots W., F. E. Wright, and Pearl Sin-
clair, C. W. Paine.

Toots was a bad actor and delayed the start, as he
would not trot, and when they finally were started he
was several lengths behind. George Direct took the
lead immediately by ten lengths, and held it all the
way round, never being headed. Toots overhauled
Pearl Sinclair at the quarter, and at the half challenged
Canny Scot and passed him aftera short brush. Com-
ing down the turn she left her feet again and fell be-
hind. George Direct won by ten lengths, Canny Scot
as much in front of Pearl Sinclair and Toots last.
Time, 2:W.

The fifth race was a special trot, mile dash, with
Dave Ryan, Dr. A. M. McCullom; Peo, C. W. Paine;
Polka Dot, Vet Tryon, and Candy Joe, William Trust,
as starters.

They got off well together, Peo a little ahead, but
Dave Ryan went quickly to the front and increased
his lead to the half, where the rest came up and Peo
hung at his wheel, with Polka Dot close up. He came
into the stretch first and at the seven-eighths they
were all on even terms. Dave Ryan forged ahead and
came in a winner, Polka Dot close behind and Peo,
which broke near the finish, third, Candy Joe fourth.
Time, 2:303. __^__

A Terrific Equine Duel.

Details of the fight last fall between the two thor-
oughbred stallions Sligo and old Logan lose nothing
in the telling. The grooms had been jollifying the
previous night, and slept late. Both horses were
stabled in the same barn, and Sligo, apparently angered
at the delay in being given his morning meal, kicked
out the lower door of his stall. The upper part of the
door and a stout cross-bar were left in place, but,
crouching down, Sligo crawled under and went out in
free space. He went direct to Logan's stall. The
doors were open, but a stout crossbar was in place,
and this Sligo broke in some way or another and made
a rush at Logan. The latter had his face to the door,
and as Sligo rushed he met him with a counter-plunge
and the two horses came together with a crash. Sligo
was forced into a corner of the barn and there gathered
himself together. Both were squealing and stamping
in their rage, and the grooms, hearing the uproar,
came rushing to the scene of battle. They tried to
get close, but the two stallions, while eyeing each other
looking for an opportunity to renew the battle, lashed
out with their heels when a groom approached. After

watching each other tor perhaps a half minute there
came another rush. Logan was the quicker, and be
struck Sligo at the shoulder. Sligo was just rising for
a jump and the force of the collision threw him in a
heap on the floor. As he went down Logan jumped
on him, crushing him in the corner and breaking one
of the fallen horse's legs. The mix-up gave the grooms
a chance, and they rushed in and grabbed the infuri-
ated Logan and pulled him back. He struggled,
kicked, bit and fought to get free to get at his fallen
enemy, and the grooms exerted all their strength in
the effort to force him back in nis stall. Sligo, suffer-
ing intense pain, managed in some way to rise, and the
sight of it was too much for Logan. With a final and
desperate wrench, he tore free from the grooms and
plunged with full force against Sligo. Sligo went
down again, and again Logan jumped on and kicked
him. Again the grooms tore him away, and this time
succeeded in forcing Logan into his stall and barring
the door. Sligo's back had been broken in the final
onslaught, but depite all this he managed to drag him-
self back to his stall, where he died a few hours later.

Hints from Prot. Roberts.

Writing of the points of a good horse, Prof. I 1".
Roberts, dean of the Agricultural Department of Cor-
nell University, Ithaca, N, Y., than whom there is no
man better posted upon topics of practical and scientific
agriculture and stock breeding, says: Dark-colored
hoofs are likely to be of better texture than light-
colored ones. The shape of the foot is variable. The
"cold-blooded '' draft horse has a broader, flatter foot
than the light driver or speed horse. The foot is .
often the point mosi likely to be deficient in draft
horses, the heel being too open and the foot too flat.
Occasionally "the hollow of the foot makes a hole in
the ground." On the other hand, the driving horse .
sometimes has a foot too hollow and narrow at the
heel, in which case the foot is likely to become con- •
tracted, since the frog does not come in contact with
the moist soil, losing its elasticity, becomes hard, con-
tracts, draws the quarters in until the hoof becomes
too small for the internal structure. The shoe does ■
not pinch, but the hoof does. There is a happy medium
between these two extremes. A horse's limbs should
be plaoed well under its body, for the same reason that
the wheels of a street car are placed well under its
body, to secure a swaying, easy motion instead of a
pounding, inelastic one. Horses are of many colors,
but dark browns and bright bays with dark points
are preferred, since dark colors indicate fine, close-
grained texture. But some one may have depreciated
the value of the horse in "breaking" him, in doing
which his mouth has become hard and unresponsive,
courage turned into revenge and whip-obedience sub-
stituted for obedience to the drivel's slightest wish,
sent through the reins by the kind hand. So the
horse should be driven before one can determine
whether all of the points of a good horse are present.

The Greatest Race of the Year.

The New England Trotting Horse Breeders' Associ-
ation has scored another of its usual successes in open-
ing a $10,000 purse for trotters of the 2:07 class, to bo1
contested for at the annual breeders meeting in Sep-
tember at the Readville track. Although the an-
nouncement of the opening of this class was made but
two weeks ago, the association has already secured for
this event nine of the best trotters in training in the
country. The list to date includes Lord Derby 2:061.
Chain Shot 2:06J, Boralma 2:07, Charley Herr 2:07,'
Dolly Dillon 2:07, Peter the Great 2:07>, Onward Silver
2:08, The Monk 2:08} and Eleata 2:081. All of these
horses, with the exception of Peter the Great, per-
formed well, and the most of them brilliantly, last
year. Peter the Great was given a complete rest last
season, and his owner, Mr. J. Malcolm Forbes, is con-
fident that the great stallion will be able to stand the
strain of a season's campaigning. If such should
prove to be the case, this horse will have to be counted
a very dangerous factor, as he has speed of the two-
minute order up to half a mile. The only horse o

which there is any doubt of being able to be ready i

f

Charley Herr, that was a failure as a sensational per.
former after his race at Brighton Beach early in
August last year.

The average speed of the nine horses entered for
this rich purse is 2:07 36-100. If but flveorsixof these
trotters should come together for the word, it will in
sure one of the greatest races of the year, and will
provide for the New England breeders an attraction
equal in importance to their famous Massachusetts
stake at the Grand Circuit meetings or the big stallion
races, which have been a feature ol their fall meetings
in the past. — Chicago Horseman.

The Oldest Horse in America.

The oldest horse in America is owned by Major Rob-
ert Mass, of Louisville, Ky., who has papers proving
its age to be oyer 47 years. He is named Ivanhoe, and
is a large bay, with a blaze face, and up to a year or so
ago a very docile disposition; of late, however, he has
grown irritable, and almost vicious toward strangers;
to his master and the children he is the same as ever.
He bears on his right flank the scar of a gunshot
wound received at the battle of Buena Vista, in the
Mexican campaign of 1853, where he was ridden by
the grandfather of the Major. He was also used as a
charger in the Civil War, .and three separate times
when his rider was unhorsed found his way home to
bis pasture. As he grew older he would not allow any
other horse to be placed in the pasture, and fought
them with mouth and hoofs. For twenty years he
had no harness on his back, but let the children climT
all over him. His teeth were gone, and at last accoup_
he was fed principally on boiled corn and mush,
last appearance in public was at the fair at Lexington,
10 years ago, and he was brought home completely
denuded of his tail and mane, these haying been
plucked out by people crowding around him to secure
a relic of the oldest horse known. — Albany Argus.

Derbies I Have See.i.

These, unfortunately, number no fewer than 33, the
earliest of them dating as far back as 1863, so it is
quite certain that I must waste no space over pre-
liminaries, if I am to deal with a few of the most inter-
esting of them. My first introduction to Epsom Downs
took place under very favorable conditions, fori never
remember a wetter day than tbat which was associated
with Lord Clifden's year. A good many of us still
persist in calling it "Lord Clifden's Year," and shaU
o-o down to our graves in the Arm belief that Lord St.
Vincent's magnificent son of Newminster and The
Slave just won. but Judge Clark was of a different

There were 31

old, and he will always be remembered as being head
of that wonderful line which was carried on by Bend
Or, Ormonde, Orme and Flying Fox, in unbroken suc-
cession from father to son. Unplaced to Doncaster
was Hocbstapler, a bay colt by Savernake out of La
Traviata, who was bred in Germany and was the prop-
erty of Count Renard, owner of Adonis, the winner of
the Cambridgeshire of 1870. The colt had gained an
immense reputation by running right away from
speedy animals like Hurlingham and The Colonel over
the Rowley Mile during the Craven Meeting, and he
started at 9 to 2 for the Derby — Doncaster's price was
45 to 1 — in which he cut a very ignominious figure; nor
do I think that he ever won another race.
George Frederick, the winner in 1874, was an infin-

opinion, and Macaroni got the stakes,

runners and the delay at the post was the longest that itely better horse than is generally supposed, but he

I can call to mind in all my experience. This was due was never really wound up from beginning to end of

to Count Batthyany's Tambour Major, or, rather, to
Wells, who rode him. That jockey was not blessed
with the sweetest of tempers, and he used his whip
with such severity as he was passing through the
saddling paddock on his way to the starting post, that
Tambour Major turned hopelessly sulky, and was
finally left behind, in the course of the race King of
the Vale came down and Saccharometer fell over him,
but neither horses nor jockeys were hurt. The former
was an exceptionally big colt, belongiLg to Baron
Rothschild, and I remember a playful little passage of
arms that took place in the paddock between him and
Lord Palmerston, who was represented by Baldwin, a
very small and weedy son of Rataplan. "What's the
use of running a little rat like that? " said the Baron.
"He'll beat that overgrown camel of yours," was the
rejoinder of the Premier, and he did.

I shall always regret that I was not present in the fol-
lowing year, when Blair Athol defeated what was prob-
ably the very best field that ever went to the post for
the Derby: but I have a vivid remembrance of the
great ragged-hipped and hollow-backed Gladiateur
towering above the others in the paddock in 1865.
Until then I had pinned my faith to Breadalbane, an
own brother to Blair Athol, but it was impossible to
look at the great horse of France and to imagine that
anything in the field had the remotest chance against
him. His trial for the Derby was about the most re-
markable ever known, as he gave eight pounds to the
four year old Fille de l'Air, who had won the Oaks
twelve months previously, and simply played with
her. Yet one of the best things ever known in racing
was within an ace of being upset, for Harry Grimshaw,
who rode Gladiateur, was terribly short-sighted, and
Jem Goater, who was steering Brahma for Lord West-
moreland, always maintained that, had he not shouted
to him to go along, he would never have seen Christ-
mas Carol, and would have allowed himself to be
beaten. Lord Lyon, the winner in 1866, was only a
moderate colt, and quite unworthy of his place amongst
the heroes -of the "triple crown"; and the story of
Hermit's sensational victory is too we'l known to bear
re-telling. I may state, however, that the much
talked of blood-vessel which he broke about ten days
prior to the race was only a small one in one of his
nostrils, and that he was able to get through a very
fair amount of work between the date of the accident
and the day of the race. The Derby of 1868 is, per-
haps, better remembered for the defeat of Lady Eliza-
beth—possibly the most brilliant and highly-tried two
year old that was ever saddled— than for the victory
of Blue Gown; and the following year saw another
difference of opinion between the judge and a good
many of the spectators, the latter thinking that Pero
Gomez should have had the stakes that were awarded
to Pretender. Both were moderate, and Sir Joseph
Hawley's colt took full revenge in the St. Leger, as
Pretender had become a very bad roarer before he
was sent to Doncaster.

The defeat of the flying Macgregor in 1870 has never
yet been explained, and will probably always remain
buried in mystery. It is quite certain that he was not
"got at," as many people have supposed, and the idea
that he left the race at Bath is another popular error,
for his gallop there did him no harm, and he never
went better in his life than he did at exercise at Epsom
on the Monday following. Nor did he break down
during the race itself, and to this day his trainer can
give no reason why Kingcraft, who was certainly 121b.
his inferior, should figure in the list of winners of the
"blue ribbon." "Follow the Baron" might well be
the popular cry after the season of 1871, when the
Derby triumph of Favonius was supplemented by Han-
nah's One Thousand, Oaks and Leger, and Corisande's
Cesarewitch, to say nothing of various other "uncon-
sidered trifles." A very great horse was Cremorne,
the hero of the following year, and it would have been
cruel luck indeed for Mr. Savile if carelessness on the
part of his jockey had led to his defeat by Pell Mell,
yet this as nearly as possible happened, and the verdict,
which might have been one of half a dozen lengths,
was reduced to a head. Doncaster, who won in 1873,
never really came to his best until he was five years

his brief career. At the same time he was by no means
of the same class as his immediate successor, Galopin,
who was a very extraordinary colt indeed, and ought
never to have been beaten. It was only the other day
that the veteran John Dawson, who trained them
both, told me that Galopin was quite eighteen pounds
better than Petrarch, and he was very anxious to
match him against Prince Charlie at weight for age.
This would certainly have been "the" match of modern
times, but Prince Batthyany, who simply idolized
Galopin, could not bear the idea of risking his defeat,
and this was the reason that he did not run after the
end of his second season, but was sent to the stud
absolutely sound in every respect. Those who saw
Kisber make hacks of his opponents in 1876 would
have thought even more of the performance had they
known the trouble that Joseph Hayhoehadin training
him. He was lame in one of his hocks, and the weak
spot was under the pump for a couple of hours every
afternoon. This intermittent lameness was doubtless
the cause of his in-and-out running, and he could not
be prepared for the St. Leger. Silvio, Sefton and Sir
Bevys may be passed over with the remark that the
last-named, who was not such a bad horse as is gener-
ally imagined, had the distinction of giving George
Ford ham — the greatest jockey of all time — his only
winning mount in the Derby.

No one who saw it will ever forget Archer's mar-
velous finish on Bend Or in 1880, which was rendered
more memorable from the fact tbat "the Tinman"
was still partially crippled from the attack made upon
him by Muley Edris. As Robert the Devil passed
Tattersall's Ring he held such a lead that it did not
look possible for him to be caught, and to this day I
cannot understand how Bend Or ever managed to get
his head in front. The following year witnessed the
first success of an American-bred candidate. They
were a very moderate field that took part in the race
of 1882, and the only memorable feature of it was that
Shotover should have taken rank with Eleanor and
Blink Bonny as the only fillies in all the long list of
winners. There is possibly only one man living who
knows the true history of St. Blaise's Derby, and it
has always been thought that the unpleasant rumors
which were current with regard to that race hastened
the retirement of the late Lord Falmouth. I missed
the dead heat between St. Gatien and Harvester, but
saw Archer ride another of his superb finishes on Mel-
ton in 1885, when he was meeting an almost equally
consummate artist in Webb on Paradox. Twelve
months later Archer was again to the fore, this time
on the mighty Ormonde, who won easily enough at
the finish, although the gallant little Bard fairly
tackled him for a few strides as they came down the
hill from Tattenham Corner. It can only be written
of Merry Hampton that he was the best of a bad lot,
and lack of space forbids me to deal with the remainder.
Such a scene as was witnessed on Epsom Downs in
1896, when Persimmon so gallantly defeated his great
rival, St. Frusquin, and won his first Derby for the
Prince of Wales, can never quite be repeated. — Cap-
tain Absolute in The Sportsman.

Buying Yearlings.

Choosing young thoroughbreds is always an uncer-
tain kind of business. The most perfectly shaped are
not necessarily the fastest gallopers, nordoes "fashion-
able" breeding always prevail in the real test. When
the number of youngsters sent to market each season
is considered, and the percentage of failures added up,
it will be readily seen that there are a great many
chances against a buyer dropping on to a race hoise
in the word's truest meaning. The element of luck
must enter largely into such a speculation.

A man might be walking over some unthought of
ground, kick up a stone, and find revealed indications
of gold that lead to fabulous fortunes being unearthed
therefrom. It is much the same with buying yearlings.
You might buy a dozen, all duffers, and for the sake
of just another bid — another tenner, perhaps a fiver-
miss a Maribyrnong Plate winner, and the man who
chips in with no set object in view gets the treasure.

A slight deformity on an otherwise truly shaped young
thoroughbred will greatly decrease his value, and a
good one is often picked up cheaply because of some
supposed detriment.

Some buyers bid for pedigree, others for size and
shape, but all require an immense amount of luck on
their side to make a success in their investments in
yearlings stock. The man who looks for shape would
scarcely pause long before a big- footed, coffin-headed
member of the Gozo tribe. The Gozos are chiefly
remarkable for ugliness, and yet they are winning
races— and good races— every day. There was no
more shape about The Grafter than there would be
about a great, gaunt store bullock, but, all the same,
he was right there with 9st 21b. on his back when the
judge hove in sight at the end of Melbourne Cup.
Gozo has upset all the theories about formation. With
his progeny it is a case or the most ill-shaped ones be-
ing the greatest gallopers.

An old timer at the sale one day, when having the
"breeding lines" explained to him by an enthusiast,
got rather bored, and retaliated with, "I don't want a
pretty pedigree; give me a galloper." So far so good.
But the question 16, how are we going to sift the gal-
loper from the other sort in their babyhoods? We
are much afraid that it will always remain a lottery.
A man might take a fancy to a young one, and the
opinion may be verified in the test occasionally, but
the average of "rubbish" must always exceed the
profitable material. Sticking to running families
sometimes pays, but then, again, we have seen some
rank failures related to great horses. None of New-
haven's brothers or sisters were within stones of the
mighty chestnut, and plenty of other equine heroes
from time to time had similarly had "poor relations.''
There is often an exceptionally brilliant son or daughter
amongst a family generally dullards, and in the equine
tribe the same thing is common enough. You might
buy a full brother to a Derby winner, only to find in
the process of training that you have paid a lot of
money for an article that is valueless for the purpose
for which it was secured. In England, as well as in
this country — all over the world, in fact — it is much
the same. Yearlings are bought and found wanting
by the hundred each season. But, fortunately, there
is always money for even such a doubtful speculation.
There is a certain amount of fascination about the un-
certainity of the thing. It is really a sort of a gamble,
and one lucky throw (or bid) makes up for any number
of disappointments. — Pretender in the Melbourne Sports.
man.

If the report that Onward Silver 2:08 will not stand
training again is true, the turf has lost one of its
brightest ornaments. He was never a reliable trotter,
and until a long course of drilling by Mr. Geers he was
positively erratic, but he was fast and game, two qual-
ifications which always gain admiration for a race
horse. Mr. Geers regarded him a prospective 2:05
trotter, and he must be greatly disappointed if a trial
has shown him that the son of Onward is out of it as
a campaigner. Possibly the unsteadiness which On-
ward Silver showed in his races was the result of in-
judicious handling early in his career. Certain it is
that he was a better actor last year than he was the
previous season, and the chances are that he would
have been a still more improved horse in this respect
this year had he been able to stand a racing preparation.

Northern California Trap Shooting Tournament.

The fifth annual tournament of the trap shooters of
Northern California, open to all shooters residents of
that portion of the State north of Sacramento, took
place at the Kimball and Upson grounds on Saturday
and Sunday last. The attendance of sportsmen was
excellent, over 100 enthusiasts facing the traps in the
various events programmed for both days. The
arrangements at the grounds were excellent, visiting
shooters and guests being looked after in a whole-
souled and congenial manner that won many enco-
miums for the managers. Weather conditions during
both days caused some sid results in the scores of
some of the cracks. A north wind blew strongly on
the first day and turned into a gale almost on Sunday.
The shooting under the circumstances was very good.

Shooters from Chico, Dixon, Davisville, Willows,
Gridley, Oak Park, Newcastle, Oroville, Yuba City,
Redding, Rsd Bluff, Dunamuir, Jones City, Colusa,
Washington, San Francisco and other places were in
evidence. The headquarters of the up country shoot-
ers were located in a row of comfortable canvas tents
erected just back of the firing line. Taken altogether
the shoot was the most successful ever held in North-
ern California. The sentiment of those attending the
shoot is favorablo to having the future tournaments
held in Sacramento.

The shoot was formally opened on Saturday by
Mayor Clark of Sacramento, who fired the first shot.

Forty-one shooters entered the different live bird
events, which were shot on the opening day. The
traps were box traps, pulled one after the other, each
shooter standing in front of his trap. W. A. Robert-
son acted as referee. The birds supplied were nearly
all good ones, some right quartering birds that went
away with the wind were hard enough to test any-
body's skill.

The first event of the day was for the championship
of Northern California, twelve pigeons, entrance $2.50.
Winner to receive medal and one-third of entrance
money and two-thirds of next entrance money. Thirty-
seven shooters were in the race. W. S. Harkey, of
Gridley, Frank Ruhstaller and Dr. Weldon of Sacra-
mento each made a straight score. Mr. Harkey won
in the miss and out shoot-off on his eleventh bird. J.
A. Bailey of Willows won the medal at Red Bluff last
year and received on Saturday two-thirds of the en-
trance money. The previous winners were Frank J.
Ruhstaller at Chico in 1898; J. H. Durst at Redding in
1899, and again at Wheatland in 1900, and S. A. Bailey
at Red Bluff in 1901.

In the second event, 12 pigeons, class shooting, en-
trance $5, three moneys, 50, 30 and 20%, thirty-seven
entries, Harkey, Ruhstaller and Weldon divided first
money on straight scores. Bailey, Wittenbrock and
Hough divided second money, with eleven birds each.
Inglehart, Humble, Bergi, Morrison, Graham, Bar-
ham, and Jones divided third money, with ten birds
each.

The third event was a match at ten live birds, $7.50
entrance, high guns, three moneys, 50, 30 and 20°0\
Wittenbrock and Judge Hughes divided first and sec-
ond moneys with clean strings. There was twelve
contestants in this race, each other shooter however
withdrew at different times during the match.

Event number four was the initial blue rock race of
the tournament. Twenty targets, entrance $1, three
cash prizes, $17.50, $12.50 and $7.50, seventy-six entries.
First money was won by F. M. Newbert of Sacramento
with twenty straight, G. L. Barham, second, third
money being divided between Johnson, Losh bough
and Williams.

A race at twenty blue rocks, $1.00 entrance, was
event five for the Kimball and Upson trophy, winner
to receive one-third of entrance money and two-thirds
of next entrance. The cup to be won three times be-
fore final individual ownership, competition to be in
Northern California only. Forty-one shooters entered
the race. F. M. Newbert won the trophy on another
straight score.

The sixth event was at twenty blue rocks, entrance
$2.00, cash prizes, $35, $25 and $15. J. H. Burston won
first money with a straight score of twenty, G. A.
Johnson, J. W. Humble and W. D. Peterson with
nineteen each divided second money. Third money
was divided between Wittenbrock," Bergi, Hughes,

Holling, Garnett, Haselbush, Damon and Durst.

The final event of the day was a merchandise prize
shoot, twenty targets, $1.00 entrance, nine classes.
Sixty-nine shooters entered. Gibson and W. A.
Robertson made the only straight scores.

On the second day the shoot commenced with a
twenty target race, entrance $1.50, cash prizes $25, $15
and $10, seventy-eight entries. Thomason and Peter-
son with eighteen each divided first money. F. M.
Newbert, second money; Damon, Johnson and Woods
divided third money.

The second event at twenty blue rocks, $2.50 en-
trance, $42.40, $27.50, $17.50 and $10 cash prizes brought
fifty-nine shooters to the traps. Englehart, who
broke eighteen birds, won first money. Bailey, Hazel-
bush, Barham and Humble divided second money.
Third money was divided by Newbert, McWilliams,
Peterson, Bergi and Englehart. Fourth money was
split between Johnson, Gibson, Haugh, Black, Smith,
Morgan, Burston, J. Montgomery, Grieve, Garnett
and Hotchkiss.

Event three, twenty blue rocks, entrance $4, cash
prizes, $65, $45, $30, $20, with eighteen breaks, F. New-
bert was first; Johnson, Wittenbrock, Peterson and
D. E. Newbert dividing second money. Thomason,
Haugh and Garnet divided third money. Fourth
money was divided among Johnson, Chiles, Grieve,
Holling, Hotchkiss and Durst. Forty seven shooters
entered.

The fourth event, at twenty blue rocks, entrance $2,
cash prizes, was contested by forty-three shooters.
W. D. Peterson, with twenty breaks scored, took first
money. Second money was divided among Barham,
Payton, Wittenbrock and Englehart. Third money
was divided by Johnson, Thomason, Haugh, Black,
F. Newbert and Bergi. The purses were $42.50. $27.50
and $17.50.

The contest for the blue rock championship of
Northern California was fifth on the card. The race
was at twenty birds, entrance $1. Thirty-five shooters
entered. Peterson won the championship with a
straight score, the second made by him and only
straights made in the individual races during the day.
F. Newbert, the previous holder, received two-thirds
of the entrance money. Peterson will receive two-
thirds of the next entrance money.

The sixth event was a merchandise shoot, entrance
$1.50; eighty-four shooters entered. W. A. Robertson,
with nineteen breaks, was high man and won the first
prize, a Remington shotgun. Prizes in this race were
provided for ten classes. Ties were shot off miss and
out.

The closing event of the tournament was the six
man team contest for the championship of Northern
California, the winning team, composed of Dixon
shooters, received one-third of the entrance money,
two-thirds of the purse went to the Chico team, Chico
shooters having won the trophy last year. Nine teams
entered, entrance per team $6, fifteen blue rocks per
man. The contesting teams and scores were: Oroville
66, Capital City Club (1) 70, Washington Gun Club 68,
Dixon 78, Davisville 70. Willows 76, Chico 70, Gridley
72, Capital City Club (2) 63.

On Saturday events one and two and four and five
were shot at the same time, entrance separate. On
Sunday events four an3 five, entrance separate, were
shot at the same time.

In the evening the shooters gathered at Elks' Hall,
where Frank J Ruhstaller, Jr., gave a little German
tea and mirth and jollity reigned supreme before the
fifth annual tournament for Northern California be-
came a matter of past history. Mr. Ruhstaller pre-
sided and presented the trophies to the winners, with
a neat speech on each occasion.

The live bird championship having been won by W.
S. Harkey of Gridley, Mr. Ruhstaller presented him
with the championship trophy amid great applause,
and he responded appropriately.

F. M. Newbert of Sacramento having won the Kim-
ball & Upson trophy, was presented with it and re-
turned thanks.

W. D. Peterson of Dixon, who won the blue rock
championship of Northern California, was presented
with the cup.

The Dixcn team having won the team trophy, they
were brought to the front and the handsome cup was
confided to their keeping, with the injunction to de-
fend it.

W. D. Peterson, who had won the highest average
with a score of 89, was presented with a handsome
diamond medal.

"Dustproof Harry" was present and (by prior
arrangement) was called on for a speech and responded
happily. He drew a picture of the true sportsman,
nature's nobleman, pointing to himself with pride and
satisfaction. The pleasures of his younger days live
with him and he likes to see, in his old age, the
younger sportsman enjoying himself and joining fish
and game protection organizations that may be utilized
for the protection of Governor Gage's re-nomination.
He referred to the harmony that had prevailed
through the meeting. He urged the sportsman to
guard well the game or in a few years it would be lost
forever and the next generation would not find "a
valuable food supply for the people, "as he used to
term it.

A number of others were called on and responded,
and the general expression was of determination to
use every endeavor to secure the protection and preser-
vation of game and the passage and enforcement of
proper game laws. It is to be hoped that the Sacra-
mento shooters in particular will unbend and ondeavor
to apply the foregoing very nice and thoroughl y sports-
manlike sentiment to the protection of English snipe.
The scores for both days are in the following

summary:

Saturday, May 17th. Event 1, 12 live birds. Event
2, 12 bird pool. Event 3, 10 birds. Event 4, 20 blue
rocks. Event 5, 20 blue rocks. Event 6, 20 blue rocks.
Event 7, Merchandise shoot, 20 blue rocks —

THE

TRAPS.

The blue rock merchandise prize shoot at Ingleside
last Sunday, under the auspices of Clabrough, Golcher
& Co., was the incentive for one of the largest gather-
ings of shooters ever in attendance on the grounds.
The shooters were divided into fourclasses; there were
109 entries. Sixty-six prizes including a Smith, Reming-
ton, Parker and repeating shotgun were the principal
articles of contention among the contestants. Ten
prizes were given to the expert class shooters, in which
there were ten entries, each of whom received a prize
worth much more than his entrance money, in some
instances many times more. These prizes were allotted
to high guns in the order of scores made. Otto Feud-
Feudner and C. C. Nauman, shooting the first fifteen
targets from the sixteen yard mark and the second
fifteen blue rocks from the twenty and eighteen yard
marks respectively, tied with twenty-six each out of
thirty. On theshoot-off Nauman won the Parker gun
by a single bird.

In the first class, D. Daniels, W. E. Murdock, Dr.
A. T. Derby and George Franzen tied with twenty-five
breaks each; in shooting off Daniels won the Smith
gun; the scores were twenty-three, twenty-one, nine-
teen and nineteen respectively. The winners of seven-
teen other prizes in the first class were: W. E. Mur-
dock, George Franzen, Dr. A. T. Derby, W. Searles,
R. C. Reed, A. M. Shields, H. D. Swales, U. M. C,
W. F. Park, W. H. Williamson, E. Klevesahl, F. "Wal-
pert, J. Karney, H. A. Hoyt, "Mason," F. W. King
and M. J. Iverson. Twenty-seven shooters entered;
all but nine of them won a prize.

In the second class, forty-one contestants faced the
bulkheads. "W. Robinson, of Ukiah, and C. C. Juster
were high and tied with twenty-five breaks each. Mr.

Robinson won the Remington gun on the shoot-off.
The other winners in this class in the order given were:
C. C. Juster, A. M. Gomez, G. A. Hodapp, of Martinez;
T. A. Work, of Monterey; J. Gordon, Knick, B. Har-
rison, E. A. Wands, C. P. Grant, R. C. Rosenberg, D.
Ostrander, W. H. Price, A Bonner, Ed Donohoe, J.
Burns, J. Pisani and W. J. Fox.

In the third class, R. Finocchio was high gun with a
score of twenty-five, he won the repeating shotgun.
The other winners were: L. G. Leavel, G. H. Chick,
C. M. Wollam, C. A. Muller, W. Hanson, H. J. Hyde,
C. Reise, A. P. McGregor, "Hobart," H. Von Soosten,
Chas. Kewell. J. Williams, J. Kiosch, C. E. Breitweis-
ser, H. B. Jeffrays, F. W. Bell, C. Walker, J. Lavigne,
C. JEggers and R. G. Haggard.

The handicap conditions of the race were arranged
on a very satisfactory system. All of the shooters
were classed— experts, first, second and third class men
shot in seggrated classes by themselves. Each shooter
shot at thirty blue rocks, the first fifteen of which
were fired at from the sixteen yard mark. The dis-
tance for the second fifteen for each shooter was deter-
mined bythe following scale: Shooters breaking four-
teen and fifteen shot the remaining fifteen from twenty
yards; twelve and thirteen breaks, fifteen at eighteen
yards; ten and eleven breaks, fifteen at sixteen yards;
nine breaks or under, fifteen at fourteen yards. The
handicap was the same for all classes. Ties for guns
were shot off at twenty-five birds from the handicap
distance peg. This arrangement seems to work re-
markably well. The shoot was under the manage-
ment of Mr. E. L. Forster.

During the shoot the shooters were further handi-
capped by a very heavy wind, which at times was so
strong as to prevent a shooter firing at the bird sprung
from a trap for him.

VISITS.

Hugh Mauldin's (Sacramento) black Cocker Spauiel bitch Lady
Gaylord (Pittsburg Tommy-Trilby H.) to Delvertou Kennels'
Hampton Promise (Black Duke Il.-Ch. Gaiety Girl) May 14. 1902.

The Sacramento Show.

For a small show and one conducted under certain
adverse conditions the capital city bench show was an
excellent exhibit. Ihe show opened on Tuesday
morning and closed on Saturday, the management
decided to run a day longer for the gate receipts. A
dog show as one of the attractions of a so-called "street
fair" cannot be expected to turn out a financial suc-
cess, there is no reason however, why it should not be
a howling success.

The benching was erected in a structure similar in
style to the one used for the show last year — canvas
stretched over a scantling framework. Spratt's
benched and fed. The number of dogs benched was
129, the entries numbered 140. A great many of the
dogs shown were from San Francisco, and were
familiar features of past exhibitions here and across
the bay. The judging, with but few exceptions, was
very satisfactory. Judge Chas. N. Post, of Sacra-
mento, judged Setters and Pointers, his task was an
easy one. E. C. Plume judged the Cockers and won
golden opinions for the cleverness of his initial appear-
ance in the ring. Dr. George W. Clayton, of Chicago,
judged all other classes, and did not have a very
arduous task in placing the ribbons.

In St Bernards six were shown, smooths and roughs.
Lester C. was easily far ahead of the rest, he was in
splendid condition and one of the attractions of the
week in Sacramento. Two smooth coated bitches,
Margery and Vienna, are two more than fair ones.

Greac Danes were ten in number, half of them har-
lequins. In puppies, three harlequin bitches Empress
Eleanor, Maybelle and Lady Blanche ran in one, two,
three order. The surprise came in limit and winners
when Ruy Bias was placed over Bluebeard, who had
beaten him at the San Francisco show. Ruv Bias is a
handsome harlequin and shows plenty of quality and
type.

Greyhounds, seven in number, were a nice lot with
Sacramento Boy, a well set up and finely coupled dog,
in the lead.

Collies, nineteen benched, were a very good lot of
dogs. Ch. Ormskirk Emerald Jr. and Cheviot Con-
struction were winnei and reserve, Ch. Verona Bonnie
Brae winners bitches, are two well known dogs. Alffie,
first puppy dogs, is a promising one.

Pointers and Setters, six and two entered respect-
ively, were ordinary. Ch. Queen N, still shows well
despite her age. Susie Rip Rap, a puppy bitch, well
headed, a little leggy, but nice bodied and stylish, is a
very promising puppy.

Four Irish Setters and three Gordons were not de-
serving of special mention, save the Gordon Cracker-
jack. The Irish Water Spaniel was a large bodied,
apple headed one.

Cockers, nineteen of them, showed lots of style and
quality. With but few exceptions they were the same
ones shown in Frisco. Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Dachs-
hundes, Irish Terriers, Beagles, Scotch Terriers, Pugs,
Wire-haired Pox Terriers were filled out principally
by the entries of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Klein and George
S. Thomas' dogs that were left here with Mr. Klein.
This lot includes a number of excellent dogs, now very
familiar to the fancy.

Fox Terriers, sixteen smooths, brought Endcliffe
Resist to the front over Norfolk Trueman, who was
absent from the April show. Three wire-hairs in
three classes, Skyrocket, Skyscraper and Endcliffe
Daisy all received blue ribbons.

Seven toy Black and Tans were the best exhibit of
these diminutive and frail dogs we have seen for years.
Erastus, a puppy Dalmatian, was a very good specimen
of the breed. Four American Foxhounds were shown.
These dogs were all large, well boned and strongly
built dogs for going over rough country. They have
a local reputation in Sacramento for being the clever-
est hounds in that section.

Manitoba Field Trials.

The California Mountain Trout.

Prof. Eric Hamber, Hon. Sec. Manitoba Field Trials
Club, mails a circular giving important information
regarding their coming trials, the sixteenth annual of
the club. The money increase in each of the two
stakes, the Derby and All-Age, is $100. Entries for
the Derby close July 1st; for the All-Age and" Cham-
pionship Stakes, August 1st. The stakes in the Derby
and All-Age are S325, each divided into four prizes,
viz.: $150, $100, $50 and $25. The purse in the Cham-
pionship Stake consists of the running fees and a gold
medal. Entries to all stakes are $5 forfeit and $10
additional to start. Post entries will be allowed in the
Championship Stake for the winners of the fall circuit
up to that date.

Birds are represented as being plentiful, the past
winter being a most favorable one for them. Handlers
will have no trouble in getting located on good grounds,
and the game laws of the Province now permit the
training of dogs during the close season without inter-
ference, wh3n accompanied by owners or handlers.

Handlers and others who contemplate a trip to
Manitoba should thoroughly understand the condi-
tions upon which they can take their dogs into the
Province of Manitoba for training and starting in the
Manitoba Field Trial Club's trials this fall. The ports
of entry are Emerson, on the Northern Pacific Rail-
road, and Gretna, on the Great Northern. The
printed conditions say:

All dogs that have been duly entered in any of the
Manitoba Field Trials Club events are allowed to enter
Manitoba and remain for ninety days, free of all duty.

In order to benefit by this arrangement, an accurate
description of each dog is absolutely necessary, giving
name, breed, sex, color, event entered in, owner's
name, name of person having charge, and line of rail-
way traveling by. must he mailed to Eric Hamber,
Secretary M. F. T. C, Winnipeg, Manitoba, one week
preAious to date of arrival at port of entry.

Dogs unless entered in the Trials will" be detained
bv the Custom House authorities.

There are several varieties of trout in this State
which go by the name of California trout. The differ-
ences between them are not radical, and arise, prob-
ably, from the influences of locality rather than from
natural variation. The differences appear principally
in external markings.

The fish of highest development are found in the
McCloud river, from which they take their distinctive
name. They are the true rainbow trout, having a
band of bright red, like the tint of the iris, along the
whole nxtent of the lateral line. The mountain trout
have the same marking, but in fainter tint. In some
specimens it is hardly perceptible. It has been noticed
that in wild waters this tint is much more strongly
brought out than in fish confined in artificial ponds.
The influence of the wider range and of the change to
natural food, largely crustaceous, is observed not only
in the brighter colors, but in the greater vigor and
more rapid development of the fish.

The spawning season of the mountain trout com ■
mences about the 1st of March and continues until
June. The California trout is, in its structure, pretty
much the counteroart of the Eastern biook trout. It
has not the carmine spots which distinguish the latter,
but has the same dorsal markings, a slightly more
forked tail, and the same color and texture of flesh.
The general external color is a silvery green or olive,
mottled with irregular spots of a black or darkish
color. Along the lateral line is, as has been already
stated, a marking of red of varying distinctness
according to habit and habitat.

This fish is one of remarkable vigor and hardiness.
It will thrive in water which, to salmon or some other
trout, would be certain death. It will bear rough
handling with comparative impunity, and bruises on
its skin, which, in other fish, would be followed by
fungus and death, make apparently no harmful im-

pression. It is an active fish, and though it will thrive
in either lake or river, loves best a swift running
stream and the most thoroughly aired water. It is a
voracious feeder, but its tastes are as delicate as others
of the trout family. It loves best to take its food
alive, and cannot resist the temptation of a struggling
grasshopper or miller, no matter how full its maw may
be already. No fish known is as certain as this to be
attracted by the artificial fly. It does not matter
much what the form or color may be, so that a motion
is given to resemble life. In its greed for insect food
it takes no account of seasons, and will rise as readily
in January to a red fly, when it is hardly possible for
a natural fly to exist, as in July, when the surface of
the water swarms with insect life. It grows with
nearly double the rapidity of the Eastern brook trout
in the same water, and is, of all fish whose habitat is
exclusively in fresh water, looked upon as the most
suitable for the large Eastern streams and other
streams which overmuch fishing, dams, sawmills and
other destructive agencies of human contriving have
spoiled for good trout fishing. Whether it can endure
the poison of tanneries has not yet been tested. If it
shall be found to stand this last desperate test, to
which all others of the trout family have succumbed,
it will deserve to take rank with immortals.

The only unfavorable criticism which haj been made
on this fish is that they are not good keepers; that
they rapidly soften afterkiliing, and do not bear trans-
portation well. This may be a disadvantage or an
advantage, according to the standpoint from which it
is considered. The residents in the neighborhood of
trout streams do not care to have all the stock shipped
to market; they want some for their own use, and If
these trout will not bear transportation, there will be
all the more to eat at home. No fish, anywhere, or at
any time, is as good as fish when caught. The com-
plaint of softening, we think, does not apply to all of
our trout; but to such as are caught out of season or
in mild waters. The quality of all trout is very much
affected by the character of the water in which they
live and by what they feed on. Speculed trout caught
within a few weeks of spawning time and after spawn-
ing time till they are restored to vigor, will be slimy
and soft, and tend quickly to putrefaction, and those
that live in shallow water, with muddy bottom, and
feed on leeches and lizards, are never good keepers.
Every one who has done much trout fishing will have
observed that fish caught on a running stream,
especially if the stream be one subject to the influence
of rainfalls, soften more quickly than those taken ic
lakes. Even on a good spring stream, the angler will
observe the ribs of the first trout protruding before
the last has been put in his basket. Our native trout,
in this respect, will not differ materially from any
other trout.

,.-,. . [ {Fish Lines.

The possibilities for snort in salt water angling ob-
tainable by Los Angeles fishermen are charming at
this time if the following account taken from last
Sunday morning's Herald is any criterion.

In and around New York city, the devotees of salt
water fishing number no less than 150.000, their inter-
ests are looked after and a fraternity of fishermen
established, by the formation of a League of Salt Water
Anglers numbering thousands.

The development of local and Coast salt water fish-
ing has never been attempted except in a crude and
intermittent manner. The sait water sportsmen have
been, until the advent of striped bass fishing recently,
ridiculed by the dilletanti who cited the virtues of fly-
fishing and delights of the trout stream. Notwith-
standing we know several of the extremely ethical
gentry who do not disdain to make a quie"„ trip to
Lake Merritt, the Oakland estuary and other waters
where the silver smelt abound, and there enjoy them-
selves with light tackle and red ant or black gnat flies
on No. 14 hooks, casting for the little smelt, which at
times will take the fly with avidity. These can be
caught now by anv angler who will take the trouble to
try the shallow waters off Berkeley with light rod
and leader.

The fact that one striped bass angler hooked a large
salmon near Sheep island two weeks ago, and the
taking of a four pound quinnat salmon at Tiburon
last Sunday, by Al Wilson, on a bass spoor, is evidence
enough to warrant some different styles of fishing in
our bay, than the old clumsy drop line svstem. The
Los Angeles data is given below:

" On the Salt Lake train this morning, (18th), there
will be a merry crowd of surf fishermen. Tidal con-
ditions, while not favorable until afternoon, are not
bad enough to warrant a prediction of poor sport for
the day, though it is likely those who remain after 4
o'clock will get more in the ensuing two hours of fish-
ing than is taken during the day.

M. Kremer, R. Campbell, P. Lazarus. M. H. New-
mark, S. Nordlinger, J. Baruch, D. Botiller, Ed. Ger-
main, the Brighton beach contingent, have accumu-
lated plenty of clam bait, and mest of them are plan-
ning to stay over for the late train. The Salt Lake
road is now running a fine service at 6:35, and many of
the anglers are willing to stay a Utile late so as to
avoid the crush, and have plenty ot comfortable space
on the trip home.

Simon Suier, W. G. Stearcs, W. B Skeel, Joe Spear.
Jack Jenkins and E. L. Hedderly will go to Terminal
wharf, where they will join P. T. Jordan and R. D.
Middleton, who left last night for the resort.

R. F. Van Cleave. Sylvain Lazard, Al Sheriff and
several others will put in the day at East San Pedro,
fishing in the bay for yellowfins and croakers until
afternoon, then trying for a few surf.

Louis \Yundhammer, John Marset, C. C. Caslera, J.
Heis and Ernest Bencbel have planned to raid the
porapano at Port Los Angeles to-morrow. The pump-
kin seeds have been caught at intervals for several
weeks, and last Sunday two or three dozen were taken
by one old fellow who never bothers with anything
but pompano. No lobster bait can be had legally
until August 15, and in its absence pieces of stingray,
skate or shark are the best pompano bait that can
be had.

G. Pomeroy left last night for his Redondo place,
and he doublless has done some business with the
corn-feds already this morning. A number of halibut
and yellow-tail fishermen went to Redondo last night
equipped with the hand lines and other yellowtail
gear, hut they are likely to have little sport with the
big lish. The mackerel contingent greatly out-
numbers the others now.

Quite a few surf are being caught off the beach near
the stump slough of Redondo. Two or three anglers
will go there to-morrow. J. Whomes and his friends
will be busy obtaining the customary "small mess*' of
fish that Brother Whomes always brings home.

Mackerel fishing slowed down a little the last two
days, but in all probability it will be as good as ever
to-day. Some of the large corn-feds that have been
taken lately at Redondo afford pretty sport.

Big mackerel make the worst tangles of any fish
excepting, possibly, the powerful amber colored boys
with the yellow tails. Everybody who goes after the
big mackerel takes off his sinker or uses a very light
one, and baits with a chunk of mackerel or a small
fish. The heaving and hauling process is a succession
of snarls and tangles, for the mackerel is one of the
most active of fish, and seems to take a yellowtail's
delight in tying everybody's gear Into knots that are
hard to unfasten in the excitement. Mackerel hunt
close to the top of the water at such times and often
can be seen plainly. Forty or fifty two-pounders is
not an uncommon catch when conditions are right,
though the ten and twelve-inch mackerel are better
for food purposes than the bigger ones. They do not
put up the fight, though the sport is conducted more
on a rod and reel basis than is the catching of the
bigger mackerel.

J G. French and one or two others will fish to-day
at the remains of the Ocean Park wharf.

Harry Slotterbeck and his friend Morrison left last
night for Redondo and will dally with the blue backs
to-day. From trout to mackerel is, Slotterback says,
a big come down, but one cannot have the best of it
all the time. He has a new Leonard salmon rod
which he wishes to try on the corn-feds.

Quite a number of trolling parties went out early
this morning after barracuda. Most of them left
Long Beach, but a few went out from Redondo and
San Pedro. At present Long Beach seems to be tbe
place. Good catches have been the rule.''

A tide table is also published weekly for the benefit
of fishermen at Santa Monica and other beaches in
that vicinity.

The science of pisciculture, which now engages so
much attention, is not altogether a new one. The Chi-
nese had an inkling of it ages ago. It is stated that in
the fourteenth century, a monk in Europe hatched by
an artificial process some fish eggs: but whether they

May 24, 1902]

®itc ^xccfeev mil* gtpovtemmt

were impregnated from the water where they were
naturally cast we are not told. The first authentic
case of artificial impregnation is credited to an officer
in the Prussian army — Lieutenant Jacobi; the result
of which experiments were published in 1763.

No further advance seems to have been made iu this
science for nearly a hundred years, when a fisherman
named Remy, in German France, was so successful
with artificial impregnation that in 1851 the French
government, whose interest had become enlisted,
established the extensive hatchery, still in operation
at Huningen, now under the jurisdiction of Germany.
From these small beginnings the science has spread to
nearly all civilized nations. On the American conti-
nent attention was first practically drawn to this sub-
ject by the alarming decrease of shad in rivers where
before they had existed in such plenty as, in their
season, to furnish large populations with cheap, abund-
ant and wholesome n:trogenous food. Experiments
were tried with varying success, previous to 1867, to
hatch, on the Connecticut river, the spawn of artifi-
cially stripped shad, but the right methods were not
hit upon until Setb Green, who had been an enthusi-
astic fisherman from his boyhood, and a watchful in-
vestigator for many years of the secrets of the finny
tribe, solved the problem.

The tomb of Izaak Walton is in what is known as
Prior Silkstede's Chapel, in the Cathedral of the
ancient city of Winchester, England, on the eastern
side of the'south transept, and is covered by a black
slab on which is the inscription:

There are many points of interest in the grand old
building, though disciples of the gentlo art will prob-
ably be most struck by the tomb and the finely executed
statue of the great man who, by his unequalled book
on the art of angling and the moral principles incul-
cated in it, has rendered his name dear to the hearts
of all good and true anglers.

Striped bass anglers find good boats and boatmen,
for Sunday fishing', at and around West Berkeley.
The net fishermen are prohibited from fishing on Sun-
day, they are consequently willing to hire out reason-
ably to the bass fishermen rather than have their
boats laid by idly.

Off the Oakland and Berkeley shores the silver
smelt can be found in countless myriads. Light tackle,
black gnat and red ants on No. 1-1 hook is the proper
rig for the fun. The fish are a delicious pan fish too.

Two Bear Stories.

The capture of an extraordinarily large brown bear,
or as we believe a "cinnamon," is thus exploited by
the Colusa Sun:

"For sev3ral years a large brown bear had been liv-
ing off the finest and best kids on the Harlan goat
ranch between Sheet Iron and St. John peaks of the
Coast range, and on the 18th of April a party com-
posed of A. T. Luttrdl of Maxwell, W. T. Brown of
Williams and Chris and Helm Harlan of the ranch
started out with Luttrell's imported hounds deter-
mined to find him. Just at the ravine that marks the
dividing line between the two great peaks above named,
the dogs brought him to bay. He was in the brush
and he made for Chris and gave him a lick that tore
the clothes off of him, but fortunately he was able to
get away. The bear then got hold of Helm Harlan,
but the dogs piled in on him so that the young man
got away. About this time Billy Brown got into the
thicket and put five shots into him, and the bear ran.
In tne fight at this place he killed four dogs. They
followed him about half a mile and found him dead.
One of the bullets had passed through the heart, and
still he had vitality to travel a mile.

This was perhaps the largest brown bear ever cap-
tured in the mountains, as when dressed it weighed
over 600 pounds. Old hunters say the weight was
over 800 pounds when alive."

The Mexicans in California had an ingenious method
of trapping bears before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the region. A piece of
meat was nailed to the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From a limb five or six feet above a rope was
suspended, to the end of which a large stone was made
fast so that it hung about six inches above and a trifle
nearer the trunk than the meat on the lower limb.

When a bear smelled the meat from afar, he would
climb up the tree and make his way to the bait. In
doing so he would push the stone pendulum to one
side. Just as he was about to fasten his teeth in the
meat the stone would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger of the bear, and he
would give the stone a sweep of his paw which would
send it swinging farther out. The consequence was a
harder hang and more anger. The more he struck
the stone the harder he would be hit in return until
from ferocious anger he would lose his caution and
attack the pendulum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep, then bang! and bruin would be tumbled out of
the tree to the rocks arranged below, where, disabled
by his fall, he would be at the mercy of those who
set the trap whenever they choose to take him.

Seal Shooting.

The stalking and shooting of seals is u description of

sport that very few gunners have had opportunities
of enjoying. Seals are plentiful opposite certain
places on the coasts of Scotland and Ireland, and only
in one out of half a dozen localities where they are to
be found is the stalking of them possible, owing to the
configuration of the surroundings. They are not so
easily stalked, but only by stalking is it possible to
bag them; for to shoot at them as their heads mo-
mentarily appear on the surface of deep water is, in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, to lose them even
when hit by the bullet. The quickness, too, with
which a seal can duck under water on seeing the flash
of a rifle is really marvelous. Its round head disap-
pears entirely just the hundredth of a second before
the ball reaches the spot in the water the head pre-
viously occupied. But the fact is that it is long odds
against a shooter being able to fire from a boat at a
seal so as to hit its head, the only visible part of the
animal as it comes up the surface for a breath of air:
The boat in the first place in all probability is un-
steady, the aim has to be very quickly taken, the
seal's appearance above the water is unexpecsed and
momentary, and it can duck to the fiash. Further-
more, when all these disadvantages are overcome, and
a bullet is sent crashing through the small, compact
head, taken at an unguarded moment on the part of
the animal before it has discovered its human antago-
nist in the boat, the chances are very much against
the recovery of the carcass, which sinks out of sight
immediately. It is very difficult to bag a seal except
by stalking and shooting him when found upon dry
land.

By those who have done both, it is considered quite
as difficult a sporting feat to stalk and shoot a seal as
a stag. Both are very wary animals, both have by
instinct the faculty of selecting the most unapproach-
able places to rest in, and both are quick to discover
any appearance of danger. In the estuaries of some
of the rivers on the east coast of Scotland there used
to be very good sport in pursuit of the seals to be seen
there in very large numbers all the year round. It
was useless, however, attempting to kill them in deep
water from a boat. It seemed as if the animals used
absolutely to enjoy dodging the bullets fired at them,
for after ducking at the fiash and disappearing before
the bullet reached the water, they would reappear,
perhaps, on the other side of the boat quite within
shot, as if inquiring what all the noise was about!
Occasionally they might be caught napping, especially
where one was watching, rifle in hand and finger on
trigger, for their first appearance; but even then,
when the round bullet-head was palpably hit by a
carefully aimed ball, and the surface of the water was
tinged with blood, seldom, indeed, could the seal be
bagged. It went to the bottom and remained there to
all intents and purposes. Whether by a dive in the
death struggle or sinking dead like a lump of lead, if
dead, it went down and never reappeared. Only if
severely wounded was there a chance of its reappear-
ance for a breath of air. "Shooting seals in the water
from a boat I have always found very unproductive
sport," is the opinion of a noted English writer.

The only sportsmanlike and satisfactory mode of
bringing a seal to bag is by stalking him. In that
manner on the sandbanks in the estuaries of Scottish
rivers, some sportsmen have killed a good many
plwccBj after very exciting, though very wet and
muddy, stalks. In some places there the sea recedes
for miles at low water, leaving only the deep beds of
the rivers, with banks of sand or mud on each side.
On these the pfWGa, after a meal on a fat salmon, loves
to bask in the sun, and then he is approachable only
by those skilled in. his little ways and acquainted with
the intervening ground. It is useless trying to sail
past him in a punt with the notion that he may mis-
take it for a log of wood floating down the river to the
sea. He knows the look of a punt when he sees one,
and has he not selected that high bank for his siestu
so that he can look around for a mile on every side of
him and detect the approach of punts, canoes, or boats
of any description. Only in one way can he be ap-
proached unseen, and that is by following the burn
that runs through the mixture of sand and mud into
the river bed, the banks of which might hide the head
and shoulders of the approaching stalker, up to his
armpits in the water. It is a dangerous stalk, indeed,
only to be attempted by one who knows every inch of
the ground and has come prepared for it. But if no
mistakes are made it may bring one within fifty yards
or less of the seals, when everything depends on accu-
rate marksmanship The bead is the most vulnerable
part, for a body hit may only result in wounding the
animal, and, however severely hit, he quickly disap-
pears into his native element, near which it will be
found he has cautiously made his resting place, and
into which he waddles with an awkward motion, very
unlike his smart and graceful progress in the water.

One of the be3t equipped bote's is The Rosslyn, Los
Angeles.

For two or three years after the slag from the
Mountain Copper Company's smeltei at Kes vick be-
gan to be dumped into the Sacramento river the fish
in the river that had heretofore been plentiful were
rapidly killed. Dead fish lined the banks of the river,
and in the gills the slag was found literally packed.
The salmon runs were interfered with and the catch
of eggs was small.

There has been no slag dumped into the river for a
year, and an unusually big run of .sulmon and a large
catch is expected. Captain Lambson, superintendent
of the hatcheries, was in Redding three week- ago
He says the salmon had air ad y begun to run and
were reaching the Baird hatchery. No fish will be
taken this summer from the Battle or Mill creek
hatcheries. The water has been found too warm for
the eggs to hatch.

Cartridge Loading.

If the many discussions and powder controversies
have done anything, they have convinced sportsmen
more than ever — if they wanted convincing — that
the fault of misfires, blowbaeks, fizzling, ineflectivedis-
charges and other similar mishaps are attributable,
not to the nitros used, but to the shells or the loading.
The best powder badly loaded, or loaded in bad shells,
is much less effective in the field than poor powder
properly loaded in shells properly made. In the days
of black powder the adage, "If you want to kill dead
ram well your powder but not your lead, ,: might have
held good, but with the use of nitro compounds it has
to be read the other way round. Not that the shot
should be hammered too much either, as it jams the
pellets together and must put them out of shape.
Cartridges should undoubtedly be firmly loaded, but
they should not be violently pressed with the lever,
simply because some sportsmen consider shells im-
properly loaded if they can succeed in shaking the
shot. The latter is a delusion, and rather than explain
it, some cartridge sellers prefer to punch down the
shot to please their customers against their own con-
victions. The proper loading of a cartridge is not to
be learned in u day, and the past agitation, if it have
any effect at all, will probably throw all the more busi-
ness into the hands of the expert manufacturers and
cartridge loaders employed by the best dealers, who
are loading cartridges all the year round by hand, and
can be trusted to turn out ammunition that will always
hold its own so long as they are supplied with the best,
and only the best shells, grease proof cloth cardboard
and felt wadding. The difference in price is really
infinitesimal, altogether out of proportion to the
advantage on the other side, of birds killed clean in-
stead of being maimed or missed.

Where to Buy Cartridges.

Sportsmen in these days have become much greater
connoisseurs in cartridges than they were even ten
years ago. At that time nitros had not obtained the
strong hold they now have. Every addition to the
list of nitros has its own peculiarities, which have to
be studied to some extent, even by the inexpert cart-
ridge loader, or he is bound to make a muddle of his
business. Loading, then, has become an art that re-
quires education in a manner that it never did before.
It is impossible for the unskilled assistants of a coun-
try hardware dealer for instance, to load smokeless
cartridges with that attention to detail, with that
knowledge of the peculiarities of the powders that can
only be found with the factory expert and metropolitan
experts, both annually load millions of shells contain-
ing every variety of explosive, and have no other daily
work whatever beyond loading. They study the par-
ticular wadding used, the shells and the primers sup-
plied, and the pressure applied to each cartridge. So
far as human skill oan be infallible he is likely to turn
out good cartridges. His work soon finds him out.
His mistakes are quickly discovered by his employers'
customers. The result is he avoids making many; he
takes pride in his work. If I could not buy my cart-
ridges from responsible mannfacturers or dealers I
would never resort to a hardware dealer for them
unless I resolved to run the risk of finding a number
of them very much the reverse of reliable and satis-
factory. With the large selection of smokeless ex-
plosives now in the market, even country dealers
themselves must be occasionally hard pressed in pro-
viding their customers with their favorite powders,
properly loaded in special shells with special wadding
and perhaps special primers. Proper loading in
proper shells is the solution of the powder question,
and when we have that we will have perfect cart-
ridges, and not till then.

So Mote It Be.

Nothing delights the busybody so much as to make
a grand stand play for the suppression ot any act or
occurrence that can be construed as cruelty to ani-
mals. These opportunities are generally ready-made
trivial in importance, and are jumped at with avidity.
If efforts were made in a proper way and along legiti-
mate lines, publication of articles like the following
taken from American Medicine, a journal of standing
and influence, would not be necessary:

"The extermination of birds is not alone the work
of fashionable vanity, but of fashionable gluttony.
The recent seizure in a New York cold storage ware-
house of great numbers of dead birds during the close
season illustrates the easy invasion of the law by those
careless of consequences. In hotels, travelers often
find upon the bills of fare the names of birds unknown
to ornithologists and dictionary makers. When asked
what kind of birds these represent the waiters are per-
mitted to answer only by smiles and silence, or by con-
fessions of ignorance. In the cold storage house in
New York weie found so many birds that the legal
fines would have run to millions of dollars. What
would they amount to for the United States'.' Asa
result of such practices everywhere those butchers and
dealers who obey the law are really punished for their
honor, while the reeklessarerewarded by great profits.
We are fond of pointing out excellent spheres of work
and usefulness for those who are greatly troubled by a
few deaths of animals in scientific laboratories. Why
should this stupid and ruinous war of extermination
of birds, with its great resultant suffering, not ai
the energies of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals?"

Improving Pastures.

Grass lands throughout the country are
regularly becoming depleted. In many
cases they are producing a much poorer
quality of grass than formerly, and in
others are becoming considerably dam-
aged by the grass being entirely killed in
spote.

A mistake that is frequently made by
nearly all farmers and stockmen is to
turn their cattle and sheep out to pasture
too early in the spring and before the new
growth of grass has secured a good start.
The result is to graze the land too close "n
the beginning, with the frequent result
that it does not recover during the season.

Close onto this comes the evil of over-
stocking pasture lands. The grass is eaten
down, and the overpasturing keeps it
down defiinitely, it is only a matter of
time when any sort of vegetation that is
prevented from sending out leaves will
become entirely exterminated.

A secondary evil of overstocking land is
to pack the soil to such an extent as to
seriously interfere with the growth of the
plants. A hard soil is favorable for rapid
evaporation of moisture. Also, when rain
falls upon the land, the soil is too hard
to take it up readily and quantities run
off that ought to be taken up.

When grass is either trampled down or
pastured too close a chance is given for
weeds to come in, and this quite invariably
occurs. Were the grass unpaatured the
probabilities are that the weeds would be
prevented from coming in. but, as the
grass is always handicapped, there is a
proportionate opportunity offered for the
weeds to take up soil that the grass should
occupy.

When land is pastured and the weeds
are getting a start, means should be taken
to keep the weeds in check by cutting.
Run the knife above the grass, and yet
low enough to take the weeds. Cut while
or before the weeds are in bloom, and by
all means previous to seeding.

Harrowing the land, either for the ben-
efit of existing pasture or to work new
seed into the soil, is always beneficial. A
good illustration of this occurred in the
experiment made at the Kansas station
eight or nine years ago, when worn out
pasture was thoroughly cut up and har-
rowed, and several varieties of cultivated
grasses were sown.

The tame seeds at once germinated and
took root and shortly the land was well
covered with the cultivated species. By
September, however, the native grass had
recuperated, and was actually driving out
the tame grass. The course of cultivation
in stirring root and soil ■ had done the
work.

The time may come in this country
when manuring pasture lands will be pop-
ular and followed, as it is in England to-
day. But in somesections, where fertiliz-
ing is comparatively unknown, other and
more practicable means must be ex-
hausted. The first lesson to learn is to
husband present resources. — Drovers'

Packers at all the important markets
have agents in Texas just now trying to
contract for sheep from the ranges there
just as soon as they shall be fat enough to
come to market and kill out decently.
The Texas wooly coats are reported well
forward in condition and showing an un-
usual proportion of wethers in the flockB'
Hence the desire of the packers to con-
ract for them now and so fill in for sure
between the time the feed-lots' supply
gives out and the big run from the North-
western ranges comes to hand.

The leanness of the cattle which have
th:d year arrived in the Chicago market
h -.9 caused a falling off of 33 per cent in
tl e output of oleo oil, with the result that
: at product has greatly advanced in price.

Bulletin No. 41, issued from the Bureau
of Animal Industry, United States De)>art-
ment of Agriculture, deals with cattle con-
ditions in Mexico and contains an im-
mense amount of information touching
the meat-making business in the republic
to the south of us. It is plain from the
fact that this bulletin has been issued
and that the necessity for conveying the
information it contains to breeders on
both sides of the international boundary
line, that Secretary Wilson believes Mex-
ico must soon take a large number of pure
bred cattle from us and also that the time
is close at hand. The bulletin is a very
comprehensive one and is designed to in-
form the Mexican as well aB the American
cattleman what he ought to do in order
to get the most out of the animals he
desires to sell in international trade. For
instance, it is admirably pointed out that
the belief obtains among Mexican cattle-
men that prices for pure bred animals are
exorbitant in the United States. To refute
this the table of sale results published in
the Gazette last December is reproduced,
but the Secretary of Agriculture makes a
mistake when he states that the table was
compiled by Col. F. M. Woods. The table,
as a matter of fact, was compiled wholly
in that office and entailed a large amount
of work. This table shows that all the
Shorthorns sold at auction in the United
States in 1901 averaged something over
$280 and the other breeds down to $207.
As these figures represent all sorts of cat-
tle up_to the best, Mexican rsnchmen
ought to-see that bulls to suit their pur-
puses are very moderate in price in all the
different breeds. Very interesting letters
from the United States Consuls in the
various districts of Mexico set forth the
facts relating to rattle breeding in the
parts of that country with which they are
familiar and these, together with figures
presented and the information tendered
relative to the importation of pure bred
and other cattle into the two countries
involved, should prove o' the utmost value
in facilitating this trade.

Buyers of export cattle state that they
are extremely cautious at present about
buying very many. Prices on the Eng-
lish side of the ocean are about high
enough to leave a little profit but any
great influx of beef would put prices below
the rennmerative point and they do not
wish to get caught. The howl raised in
this country against the beef trust has bad
in Britian an effect similar to th*tt which
it exerted here only from a different
direction. The people over there seem to
believe that the packers' trust has put the
price of beef on the hoof up on them and
here the people seem to believe that the
packers pay little or nothing for the ma-
terial on the hoof but charge all sorts of
long prices for it after it has reached the
hooks.

Prof. E. E. Elliott, of the Washington
Experiment Station, writes: "The coun-
try is rapidly turning to a stock country
Nearly ten thousand cattle have been
brought into the Palouse during the past
ten months from the East and most of
them were of high grade. There recently
was a sale of eighty Short-horn bulls at
Colfax. Thousands of acres of broome
grass were seeded this year, alfalfa also.
Our last year's seeding on the hills is now
six inches high. Land has appreciated in
value 50 per cent. Sales are enormous
and influx of settlers is heavv."

A farmer near Appleton, Wis., owned a
flock of SO pure-bred Southdown sheep.
Three weeks ago a mad dog got among
them and when the brute was shot and
the flock rounded up it was found he had
lacerated more than half of them. Later
the sheep began to exhibit symptoms of
rabies at the rate of some five to six a day.
and according to a telegram of April IS
only a few of them remained alive or un-
affected at that time.

Raising Turkeys.

Young turkeys are very tender and need
to be carefully and intelligently treated or
the mortality among them will be great
While a turkey hen will sometimes secrete
her nest and bring off a fine flock of little
ones, the chances are that if left to herself
and permitted to roam the fields unfettered
she will soon have but a small number.
Especially is this true of the first hatch-
ing. Later in tbe season, when the
weather is warmer, the result will some-
times prove satisfactory, but as a rule it
is best to confine the poults for a week or
so at leaet.

To do this make. a tight pen of boards a
foot high in a dry location where there is
sand or dirt for them to pick at. The old
turkey need not be confined, for she will
not leave her young. In one corner of
the inclosure make some provision for
shelter where the mother may retire with
her brood. The poults are the silliest
creatures '.maginable. They will seek out
the tiniest crevice and escape, wandering
away farther and farther from the nest
until chilled and exhausted.

The most common cause of failure in
growing turkeys lies in not properly ieed-
ing during the first week The very best
food for the little things is sour milk
cheese. Scald and drain the thick milk
as for cottage cheese. This, fed quite dry,
agrees with the young turkeys perfectly.
Boiled eggs are also good, but quite ex-
pensive fed very long, especially when the
old hen persists in gobbling down more of
the feed than he little ones. A turkey
mother is the only one among the animal
creation which seems to have no respect
for the wants of her young. She will eat
everything witnin reach, even driving
them away or seizing a mouthful and run-
ning away with it 0 where she can eat it
undisturbed. Well baked corn bread,
crumbled and fed dry, is good food for
little turkeys. Whatever is given must
be quite dry. Sloppy food almost invari-
ably causes bowel trouble. Wheat screen-
ings are excellent, and as soon as the
poults are old enough to eat this all other
food may be discontinued.

When the young poults are a week or
two old, it is quite common for them to
begin to droop. The wing feathers are
seen to hang down, the eyes are closed,
and a general dumpish condition exists.
The turkey chirps mournfully and is evi-
dently sick. If neglected, death is sure
to follow. An examination will reveal
the presence of lice. Look for these on
the head, around the vent and at the root
of the wing quills. The last named place
is a favorite haunt of the insects. Pure
lard may be applied, but never use sul-
phur, kerosene or other powerful agent.
Insect powder is safe and sure. Sprinkle
each turkey well with it every week or so
all summer. To do this call them up to
you with some food. They will gather
around fearlessly. Then stoop without
disturbing them and sprinkle it thickly
over them as they eat.

Lice, sloppy food and dampness are tbe
principal causes of death in young turkeys.
Turkey hens are not apt to be so lousy as
common hens. When hatched by the
latter, constant watchfulness is necessary
to keep them free from insects, especially
if allowed to remain in the henhouse. Be
sure the hen is freed from lice before the
eggs are hatched, and give her a good
sprinkling from underneath when taken
from the nest. To do this hold her head
downward and dust the powder well into
the feathers. The large striped louse will
be tound on the heads and necks of young
fowls almost as soon as they are hatched
if there are any upon the hen. For these
nothing is better than a good greasing
with lard. Turkeys are perfectly hardy
after the red appears upon their heads.
As a well grown turkey ought to bring at
least $1 at Thanksgiving or Christmas
there is a good profit in raising them. —
Mrs. E. R. Wood, in American Agricult-
urisL

Dried Skim-Milk.

The latest wrinkle in dairy economy is
dried skim-milk. By a new process the
milk is heated to 130 degrees or higher,
sometimes 160 degrees being required.
Eennet and acid is added and when well
curdled the wbey is drawn off. The curd
or pot cheese is next twisted in a bag and
hung up to drain or pressed for twelve
hours or so. The mass is then tough and
stringy and should be picked apart or
rubbed to pieces through a half-inch wire
sieve. It is finally spread half an inch
thick on cloth or galvanized wire-cloth
screens three feet square and exposed to
tbe eun. These screens may be set into a
box that has no bottom or top and sus-
pended over a etove. In a few hours the
curd is dry and hard like scraps of bone.
This may be soaked when desired for food
for calves, fowls or other stock or ground
into milk powder. From two and a half
to three pounds are secured from 100
pounds of milk and it must be fed with
great prudence because it is exceedingly
rich in protein, that most expensive and
desirable food element.

Sober up on Jackson's Napa Soda.

Mottles in butter and white specks are
sometimes confounded, and by soaie are
considered the same." but there is a differ-
ence. Mottled or streaky butter is caused
by an unequal distribution of the salt, but
white specks have a different cause or
causes. Sometimes, when the milk is set
in shallow pans, they result from the
cream drying on top, so there are small
portions that are so bard they do not
churn into butter. These particles do not
take the color liKe the rest of the butter
and the specks are thus caused. This may
be remedied by carefully straining the
cream when it is put into the churn. An-
other cause of white specks is this : When
some milk is skimmed off with the cream,
as is usually done in tbe case of deep cold-
setting, this milk settles to the bottom,
gets overripe and formsa curd, which will
be so hard as not to break up in churning
and will not run off with the buttermilk
but will remain with the butter as white
specks or flecks as they are sometimes
called. This can be remedied by not let-
ting the cream stand so long before churn-
ing, or by frequent or thorough stirring of
the cream during the process of ripening.
These hard, white particles can also be
taken out by straining the cream.

The Shoddy live stock association will
have to revise its bill of exceptions if it
would coverall the bogus ingredients that
go into the manufacture of all-wool cloth-
ing. Take for instance the item of mungo
which consists of rags ground into powder.
Ingenious machines have been invented
which blow this dust into the yarn and
later press it into the cloth. The powder
increases the weight of the cloth, gives it
a firm feeling and fools the customer into
thinking he is buying something that will
wear. The old time miner, aiming to
cheat a tenderfoot into purchasinga claim,
was wont to load a shotgun with gold dust
and discharge it into the ground — which
the intending purchaser waB then at lib-
erty to pan out and find this gold. The
miner who thus salted bis claim was
forced to be more honest than the mungo-
using shoddy swindler, for the miner's
dust was at least good gold, not brass
filings.

The Montana State land law is unique.
It provides for tbe Bale of so many acres
annually and so much of that quotum as
cannot be sold shall then be offered under
lease to bona fide settlers of the State.
A short time ago State Registrar Long
offered 56.000 acres, for sale, Of this
amount 1520 acres were sold outright at
$20 per acre and the rest was promptly
leased at figures running from $40 to $570
per 640 acres. About 200 settlers took
part in the bidding and most of them got
a slice. Some of the land leased is said
tc be worth $200 per acre, but as an upset
price is marked by the State appraisers
on each parcel this Bum was in no case
reached. The appraising of the lands by
sections or as the appraisers may decide,
even down to single acres, was arranged
for in the constitution to prevent collusion
among bidders, and it seems to have had .
the desired effect.

Imported Jersey Cattle.

T. S. Cooper of Pennsylvania has re"
cently imported nearly two hundred head
of Jersey cattle, the pick of the Island
Among them is the very famous bull Fly-
ing Fox, probably the greatest prize win-
ner and getter of prize winners ever known
to ttiis rich-milking breed. Mr. Cooper
undertook to bring away from the Island
of Jersey the greatest collection of famous
cattle that have ever left its shores. The
importation will be sold at his home,
Linden Grove, Coopersburg, Pa., on May
30th aDd 31st. All who have seen the
cattle say that as a lot they even surpass
those which the same importer sold in
1S83 when under Mr. Kellogg's hammer
the full catalogue of 119 head brought
more than $113,000.

A synopsis of the present importation
and a history of the blood, particularly of
the great family that produced Flying
Fox, is set forth in a pamphlet issued by
auctioneer Peter C. Kellogg, whose adver-
tisement appears elsewhere.

Angoras tor Montana.

J. W. Fulton, of Helena, Montana, has
purchased during the past two weeks in
California several hundred head of Angora
goats. He predicts that before long Mon-
tana will have a great many goats on the
ranges. "I have studied this Angora goat
question carefully," said Mr. Fulton, "and
lean see a great future for the mohair in-
dustry. Recently I visited the mohair milis
in Massachusetts and in Maine and I found
that they were importing great quantities
of mohair which we might he raising in
this country. Probably there are more
goats in Texas than there are in any other
State in the Union, but every goat man
knows that the Baileys are the largest in-
dividual breeders in the world and their
stock is recognized as the "best in the
United States. Texas was having an un-
precedented drouth when I was there, a
few weeks since, and the goat men were
the only ones with smiles on their faces.
The cattle were dying everywhere, but the
goats were living on the brash."

PEDIGREE IN PART.

SIRED BY SIDNEY 2: L93£, sire of 17 in the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, 3 better than 2:10. and Lenna
N. 2:0hH (champiou record), and 96 in the charmed circle. Hattie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares, Com. Belmont 4340, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2: 18 ft.
Barooa. his second dam, is by Woodford's Mambrino 2:21^, and his third dam. Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25, sire of Lula 2:15; fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at; he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S. Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th, a half in 1:16, first quarter in 0:40;», last .
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than I
any colt I ever saw and doiteasier. Walter S. Maben."

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep him down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on j
top, and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,

iiPWEET MARIE WILL NOT BE RACED on
*J California or Eastern circuits this year," is the
statement sent the BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN by
wire this week in response to an inquiry made. There
has been considerable talk among horsemen here as to
whether the swift daughter of McKinney would be
raced over the California circuit, and whether she is
eligible to start in the slow classes. There are many
here who believe that her mile in 2:13i made at a Los
Angeles matinee last year while not a record, is a bar,
andthatit will prevent her starting in anything slower
than the 2:14 class. Her mile in 2:11}, made in the
third heat of a matinee race ou Saturday, the 3d of
last month, is neither a record nor a bar according to
the new rules adopted by the National and American
associations, but the mile in 2:13} was made before
that law was passed and it is said under different con-
ditions, so that it is a question as to whether it will act
as a bar or not. However, Sweet Marie's mark will in
all probability not be up for consideration before any
association or board this year, as her present owner,
William Garland of Los Angeles, has repeatedly stated
that he has no intentions or desire to race his great
mare except in matinee contests, and that as long as
she is his property she will not be raced for money.
As Mr. Garland has been twice offered $6000 for Sweet
Marie and declined the offer on both occasions, there
is very little likelihood of his parting with her or of
her appearing in any of the contests on the California
circuit this year. This will be regretted by many who
confidently believe Sweet Marie could trot to a record
of 2:10 or better were she to be raced, and her appear-
ance on any tra^k would be a great drawing card.

Those Stockton folks are all right. They have an-
nounced a fair and race meeting this year, the latter
under the auspices of the Stockton Driving Club, and
they are already booming it with many-colored printed
matter and all sorts of advertising. The Breeders
Association having decided on a $2000 stake for 2:24
class trotters, the Stockton club has wisely concluded
that a $1500 purse for pacers will be a drawing card
and bring a big entry list. It was given out this week
by the Stockton press that this stake would probably
be for the 2:20 class. A few such stakes as The Cali-
fornia and Raisin City at Fresno, and this stake at
Stockton will bring out a lot of good horses this year
and make the racing season the best this State has seen
in years. It is never advisable for a fair association
to announce more big purses than it can afford to give,
and the plan of giving $1000 purses all through the
program, as has been tried here by several district
associations lately, generally ends in disaster and a
deficiency for the directors to go down into their
pockets to make up. The better plan is to give one or
two big stakes for the classes in which there are cer-
tain to be enough entries to fill the stake well and give
less money for the others. By less money I do not
mean purses of less than $500, as that amount is small
enough for any association having main circuit ambi-
tion to give for any class. But it makes a big differ-
ence in the expense account at a meeting in a small
town whether the association pays out $200 or $400 net
on a race. It can, in most instances, afford the lesser
but not the larger amount.

Budd Doble purchased a stallion from Douglas Cone
of Red Bluff a few days before starting East with a
carload of trotters, and the probabilities are that the
veteran reinsman has found a 2:10 trotter. Doble and
hi3 brother, Henry, were crossing on the ferry between
San Francisco and Oakland and happened to meet Mr.
Cone. The latter told Doble he had a McKinney stal-
lion that was a sure trotter that he wanted to sell and
spoke so highly of the horse that Budd promised to
take a look at him if opportunity offered. After
reaching the city however, and bidding good day to
Mr. Cone, he thought little of the matter until Henry
suggested that he had better run up to Red Bluff and
look at the horse. Budd said he had heard of so many
world beaters recently and looked at them only to be
disappointed that he hardl/ thought it would pay to
take the trip even though Mr. Cone had generously
offered to pay railroad fare and all expenses if the
stallion was -iot just as represented. Henry finally
prevailed on his brother to go to Red Bluff with the
following result: He found there a good looking bay
stallion nearly 16 hands high and liked his appearance.
He said he would like to drive him aud tha horse was
hitched up and taken on the track. A scraper and
r-lod masher had been run over the mile course that
morning, but for fast work it did not present a very
favorable appearance. The stretch looked pretty
good, however, and Mr. Doble mounted the sulky

jogged the horse a little and let him step one mile in
about 2:30. He was charmed with his gait which was
as legular and steady as clock work and so even that
he required only the simplest of booting and no extra
weighting. After the horse was cooled out he con-
cluded to drive him the next mile in about 2:20 and if
the horse was equal to it, stood willing to pay the
price asked. The horse was feeling fine, and stepped
to the half in 1:11, and then Doble eased on the lines a
little and the third quarter was trotted in 34J seconds.
At the three-quarter pole he "clucked" to him once and
he went away like a free-for-all candidate, coming the
last quarter in 32t seconds so handily that Mr. D. was
afraid Cone would raise the price before he could dis-
mount and make the trade. There are never any strings
on Cone's propositions, however, and the horse is now
across the mountains with the rest of the Doble string.
On breeding alone this son of the mighty McKinney
should be one of the gamest of the fast ones, as his
dam is old Mary Lou 2:17, the chestnut mare by Tom
Benton that the late John McCord of Sacramento
used to campaign on the circuit here along with that
other all-day trotter and own brother Shylock 2:16).
There was another fast and game brother, the pacer
Ned Winslow 2:12}. They were all out of Brown
Jennv by David Hill Jr. 17,139, the next dam Old
Brown Jenny by Black Hawk 767. All of this Brown
Jenny family were fast, honest and game, and this son
of Mary Lou should bj able to race one heat or a dozen
and be fighting among the leaders at the finish. He
has been appropriately named Kinney Lou and if
raced will be one of McKinney's new 2:15 performers
before the summer is over.

At the Occidental Horse Exchange last Tuesday,
auctioneer William G. Layng ;-old forty-six head of
trotting bred horses from the Alisal and San Marcos
ranches of Pierce Brothers in Santa Barbara county.
Of the forty-six head, not over a dozen were broken,
and as I saw the unbroken ones being knocked down
at prices ranging from $40 to $127.50, I marveled at
the fact that such horses were brought to the sales-
ring and sold like cattle, as not one but would have
fetched twice the amount had the auctioneer been able
to announce that it was broken to drive. There were
mares by Bay Rose2:20A, Almonition 2:24), Will Tricks
(own brother to Brino irieks 2:13]) Beau Brummel
2:161, Alonzo Hayward 2:30, and othor well bred stal-
lions, some of them out of mures by Director 2:17,
Anteo 2:16} and Nutwood 2:18} Mr. H. W. Meek of
Haywanls was a bidder and paid $127.50 for a bay
gelding by Bay Rose out of Uella Isle by Piedmont.
This gelding was a big, toppy fellow, as handsome as a
show ring prize winner, was seven year's old ana un-
broken. Mr. .Meek will have a $500 horse in him when be
gets him gentle to drive. While but very few of the
horses sold were anywhere near fashionably bred,
they were as good looking as any lot of green horses I
ever saw. All were in good flesh; they7 will make ser-
viceable horses for the road or light express business.

On Monday next, June 2d, entries will close for the
twelve harness races to be decided at the Napa fair,
and the six early closing stakes of the Breeders meet-
ing at Fresno. If there is any trainer in California
who has not one or more horses to enter at both these
meetings, he ought to close his stahle doors and make
no pretensions to train race horses. There has never
been a time in California when associations were doing
as much to make harness racing popular and to pro-
vide good programs for horse owners. The purses are
most generous. Napa's twelve range from $500 to $300
and aggregate $6800. The Breeders give $2000 for
trotters of the 2:24 class, $1000 for 2:20 class Dacers,
with four additional purses of $600 each. It will give
a half dozen additional ranging from $600 to $1000 as
soon as these stakes close. There will be seven or
eight more of the district associations and the State
Fair in line, but these two mentioned, the Napa asso-
ciation and the Breeders close first, and it is to them
I want to call particular attention. Both should have
big entry lists, and if such results are had, other asso-
ciations that have not yet announced programs will be
encouraged to be generous with purses in all classes
that stand a fair chance of filling well. Napa is mak-
ing special efforts to have a high class meeting this
year and is making every arrangement for the accom-
modation of horsemen. The harness races will be held
during four days of the fair and running races will not
be permitted on the same days the harness horses
appear, neither will bookmaking be permitted on har_
ness races. Associations that are thus carefcl of the
interests of harness horse owners should be patronized
by them, and I hope to see Napa get a lousing entry
list. It is the same with the Breeders. This is the
otly organization on the Pacific Coast that is devoted
entirely to the interests of breeders and owners of
trotting and pacing horses. Its enterorise this year
in inaugurating a $2000 stake for trotters of the 2:24
class, to be called "The California, " isanew departure

and one that has met the approval of everyone. If
it fills well and results in a good race, which it un-
doubtedly will, the Breeders will very likely increase
the size of the stake next year and make it one of the
fixed and leading evenis of the California circuit each
year. No horseman in California should permit Mon-
day, June 2d, to pass without making entries in the
Napa and the Breeders stakes. This is the oppor-
tune time when, if everyone will do his part and get
in and help all he can, harness racing can be given a
boost in California that will put it and everybody con-
nected with it in better shape than has been the rule
for years;

At the Alameda track the other day, a half dozen
amateur horsemen were congregated and indulging in
the customary Mount Pelee variety of conversation
about their favorite animals. One, especially, was
very warm in the praise of a trotter he drives and
told a marvelous story about taking the horse right
from pasture, hitching bim to a cart and driving him
a heat, without a break in it, better than 2:40. " I
always thought that horse was rather rank when first
taken from pasture, " said a listener. "He generally
is," was the reply, "but I didn't have to do a thing
but talk to him all the time, and he acted quiet and
steady, and never offered to break." "Well, Doc"
rejoined the other, " that accounts for it. You prob-
ably had him so tired from the talk that he did not
have life enough to break." ThecommitUe then rose
and said they would take what the Doctor ordered.

Bert Webster, one of the best men in the horse busi-
ness, who made Bonnie Direct 2:05J and lurned him
over to Tom Keating ready to win 1 he Chamber of
Commerce Stake, reached here last Wednesday from
Cleveland, where he had been wi'.b Chas. Griffith's
striDg and got the top price of the Blue Ribbon sale.
This string averaged $1024, the highest average for
the same number' of any consignment. Mr. Webster
tells me it would have been higher, but when the
Diablo gelding, Welchman, was unloadr d from the
cars at Glenville he slipped and fell with one hind leg
between the car and the platform, and when he was
led into the salesring that leg was as big a barrel and
all skinned up. At that Welchman brought $185, but
Bert says he would; have sold for over a thousand had
the accident not occurred, as he had shown a mile in
2:20 before leaving Pleasanton and was in good shape
to show plenty of speed, which was the thing buyers
at Cleveland wanted. Mr. Webster says Cleveland is
the greatest horse town he has seen for a ,ong lime,
and that there is not near enough speed to satisfy tho
demand. Buyers were there from all parts of the
country ready to pay for speed that could be shown.
"They don't care for a curb or a splint or a few blem-
ishes over there," said he, "if the horse can show the
right kind of a dip for a mile. The driving clubs are
doing much for the horse business everywhere." Mr,,
Mr. Webster left for Pleasanton on Thursday and is
thinking seriously of getting a string together for the
California Circuit. "Purses like those are better than
bigger money over East, " said he. after looking over
those advertised by Vallejo, Napa, Woodland, the
Breeders and Ventura. "Any man that has a horse
to race should not hesitate to enter in such purses, as
there is good profit to be made by winning them."

A correspondent writing from Dayton, Washington,
states that Thos. Ronan, of that place, who bred the
mare Anzella 2:10J, has good prospects ahead in the
horse line. He owns five trotting bred stallions: An-
trim 5918, the sire of Anzella; Alexis, son of William
L.; Arrowmax; Selwood, son of Antrim; Young Jim,
another son of Antrim; Atlanta, son of Meredith, be-
sides 150 head of good broodmares and young horses.
Mr. Ronan has made some good sales lately, selling
two to Dr. McLaughlin, of Dayton; two to Dr Stewart,
of Walla Walla, and three to Dr. Wilber.

Live Stock at the State Fair.

Prof. W. L. Carlyle, Prof, of Animal Industry of
the University of Wisconsin, and in charge of the
U. S. Live Stock Experiment Station at Madison,
Wis., has been secured by the California State Agri-
cultural Society to judge all classes of live stock at the
coming State Fair.

Prof. Carlyle is an authority on live stock, with a
natural reputation. The most favorable results to
dairymen, cattle and other live stock breeders have
resulted from his department. The saving to dairy-
men alone by his investigations in regard to the proper
care and handling of milk is estimated at not less than
$800,000 a year in Wisconsin alone.

Studies in cheese makiDg have engaged so much at-
tention in his department that the celebrated Wiscon-
sin curd test was devised, with the result that wherever
adopted it has secured the user almost entirely against
loss, amounting in some cases to an individual sav'iDg
of from $10 to $15 per day.

The investigations made by his department in swine
feeding have also been of great importance, showing
that a better product can be obtained by intelligent
feeding, and proving that under ths system adopted
that the bodies of the animal fed under his system
carry a higher rating of lean to fat.

The industry of feeding sheep for mutton has been
greatly promoted by his department and has now
grown to a large and profitable industry in his State.

Experiments on the best and most economical feed-
ing of beef cattle to secure the best commercial returns
have received considerable attention with very satis
factory results.

Live stock breeders from all over California should
exhibit their stock and visit the fair, for it is seldom
that tbey have have bad the chance to have their
stock passed upon by so well known an authority, who
will also gladly extend to visitors any information in
regard to all lines of animal industry on which they
may desire to have his opinion.

The Board of Directors propose encouraging the live
stock exhibits on a more extended scale than hereto-
fore given by this society. New educational features
and attractions will beintroduced and every dairyman,
live stock raiser and farmer is invited to visit the
fair. They will see the best and highest types in all
classes oriive stock and the latest and most progressive
ideas of development pertaining to agricultural
interests.

The premium list is now being .carefully revised and
will provide for additional classes of live stock of every
description.

The poultry exhibit will be on a larger scale than
ever held in California, provision being made for over
one hundred and twenty-five classes of poultry.

Racing in the Far North.

Undoubtedly the racing held at Dawson on May
27th this year holds the record for contests of speed
between horses nearest the North Pole. There is
telegraphic communication now between Dawson and
the outside world, and the following dispatch was sent
out last Tuesday:

Seven thousand Americans and Canadians, from a
radius of several hundred miles, congregated here and
linked the Stars and Stripes with the Union Jack in
honor of the late Queen Victoria's birthday. The
celebration continued over two days and was a success
in every way.

The big events were the horse races for the Queen's
plate and the Merchants' sweepstake. Both were over
a distance of a half mile. Black Alder, a well known
Pacific Coast horse, won both events. Nellie Bly,
brought in over the ice from Portland, was second.

In the sweepstake Alder won by a nose. Time, 48£
seconds.

In the plate Alder was ridden by Bert Collyer, a
newspaper correspondent, and carried 116 pounds.
Bly, Shay, 112. Bly was the favorite. It is estimated
that $20,000 changed hands. The pony race, twelve
entries, was won by Little Jean, Collyer up.

The Two Year Old Futurity.

As shown by the conditions given on another page
of this issue, a payment of $25 must be made June
1, 1902, on each two year old (trotter or pacer) expect-
ing to start in the two year old divisions of Kentucky's
Futurity for foals of 1900, which is guaranteed to be
worth $20,000. Of tbis amount, $5000 is allotted to
two year old trotters and $1000 to two year old pacers,
to be divided as follows:

Trotters— $3000 to first, $1000 to second, $500 to
xnird, $200 to fourth and $150 to nominator of dam of
first, $75 to nominator of dam of second, $50 to nomina-
tor of dam of third and $25 to nominator of dam of
fourth horse.

Pacers— $500 to first, $250 to second, $150 to third,
$100 to fourth.

Los Angeles News.

Los Angeles horsemen and trainers have no longer
cause to complain of the condition of the Agricultural
Park track, say the Sferald of last Saturday. The
pump again isin operation and plenty of water already
has had theeffect of improving the track considerably,
besides restoring the trainers to a normal frame of
mind. They are able to tram their charges with
safety, which was impossible during the water famine
incident to the breaking of the pump.

Many fine prospects are being worked each day by
the trainers at the local track. William Duifoe has a
good prospect in his eighteen months old colt, Electro
Mac by McKinney out of a dam by Electricity. This
colt stepped a quarter yesterday morning in 35} sec-
onds. G. W. Ford of Santa Ana has several colts
sired by the stallion Neernutin training at the local
track, which he believes will make a good showing on
the California circuit this, season. Mr. Ford prefers
the Los Angeles track to the Santa Ana racecourse
for training his fast ones.

S.E. Kent has a number of good prospects in train-
ing for the California circuit.

I. C. Mosher, the veteran horse trainer an'"' owner
of Oregon, who has been in Los Angeles during the
winter months, has taken- up a permanent residence in
Los Angeles, having purchased recently a handsome
residence. Mr. Mosher brought with him from the
North his stallion, Cuurde Leon 2:19, by Dexter Brad-
ford. This stallion* held the Pacific Coast record as a
two and three year old, distancing a largo field of older
horses over the kite-shaped track in Washington sev-
eral years ago. Mr. Mosher. also brought the pacing
mare. Scappoo=e 2:13, sired by the one-time champion
pacer. Roy Wilkes 2:0b. Four or five two and three
year olds, sired by Cour de Leon, out of standard-
bred mares also are to be found in his stables.

Joe Desmond has sold his sorrel two year old by
MontPrey 2:09, to a Chicago party. This grand colt
will go East soon in charge of Charles Clark, who
trains Graham Babcock's horses. s

McKinney's greatest son, Zorabro 2:11, will be
shipped to Portland, Ore.. June 1, by his owner, Mr.
Beckers, where he will be placed in the stud.

Isaac M. Lipson is preparing at the local track two
fast pacers for the California circuit. One is Egletry,
a brown mare by Ketcham, and. the other, Beaumont,
a bay stallion by Bob Mason, son of Echo. Both
horses should make a good showing this season.

C. F. Bunch of San Jose, will race his four year old
trctter, Thomas R. by Iran Alto, at the fall meeting
in Los Angeles. Mr. Bunch gave his speedy trotter
his mark of 2:15 on the Los Angeles track.

Zolock, by McKinney out of Gazelle, will not be
raced this year. His owner, Ben Davies of San Ber-
nardino, has withdrawn the fast pacer from all stakes,
owing to a death in his family.

American Horses Abroad.

ANNUAL MEETING.

Reports from abroad show that ^American horse
flesh is rapidly growing in demand in foreign markets.
During the last six years Great Britain alone spent
$35,000,000 in the United States in the purchase of
horses, independent of the $600,000^000 which she
spent for mules. Last year not less than 75,000 horses
were shipped from this country to England.

Until 1895 the exportation of horses was not an im-
portant item in our foreign commerce, but since then
it has grown into something enormous, and Great
Britain is only one of the many foreign countries
whose recognition of the superiority of American
horse flesh is substantially attested by large pur-
chases. During the last six yeaes our shipment of
horses to other countries have been as follows: South
Africa, 37,465; Great Britain, 22,608; Canada, 8,438;
Cuba, 4,436; China, 2,317; Philippines, 1,578; Japan,
1,535; British Columbia, 795; British West Indies 199,
and others scattering.

Germany, Franc9, Russia and Austria are likewise
included among the number of foreign purchasers of
American horse flesh, but they have just commenced
to make purchases and have only invested up to this
time in trotters. They have been charmed with the
graceful movement as well as the rapid speed of our
American horses, and the small purchases which they
have so far made may prove the entering wedge tu
larger ones.

Generous Purses for Fail Races.

Large purses will be offered by the Los Angeles Dis-
trict Agricultural association for its fall meet this year.
Two $1000 purses, one for a free for-all pace and the
other for a free-for-all trot will be hung up, and
several $700 purses also will be offered in the interests
of light harnef-s racing. The purses for the running
events will be generous.

Freeman G Teed, secretary of the association, now
is at Elsinore Springs for a short stay. Before going
to the springs he announcpd that upon his return he
would issue the programs for the meeting.

Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association.

The annual meeting of tbe members of the Pacific
Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association will be
held at the office of the Association, 36 Geary street,
San Francisco, on Monday, June 9th, 1902, at 8 o'clock
p. M.j for the purpose of electing a Board of Directors
fpr the ensuing year, and the transaction of such other
business as may come before the meeting. In the in-
terest of the Association it is greatly to be desired
that a quorum be present at tbis meeting.

Membership in the P. C. T. H. B. A.

The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Associa-
tion gives harness races exclusively. It is an associa-
tion of owners of harness horses. It is not organized
for profit, but to promote harness racing. It declares
no dividends, but when it makes monev at a race
meeting it hangs it up in purses and added money to
stakes to be given at its next meeting. It has disbursed
over $125,000 in purses and stakes for harness races
since its organization. It receives no State aid, but
one of its by-laws require that owners of horses
entered be members of the association. Tbe member-
ship fee is $25, which includes the annual dues for the
year of joining.

If you want to enter in the races closing June 2d for
the Fresno meeting of the association and are not
already a member, send in your entry blank with
notice that you wish to join the association and your
entry will be accepted.

A Few Words from Vance Nuckols.

Cleveland, O, May 17, 1902.
Mr. Editor — I will try to tell you how the Califor-
nia horses looked to us here at our Cleveland sale.
The sale is just finished and was a success in every
way, which I believe was mostly due to that king of all
hustlers, Mr. Ed A. Tipton. The Palo Altos looked
well, and from the pleased expression of Mr. Frank
Covey's face I think the prices were satisfactory to
him, which he told me were 40"o better than they were
last year. Mr. Griffith's horses, in charge of their
trainer, Bert Webster, showed and had speed to burn
and sold well. Our friend, Sandy Smith, I think had the
best looking lot of horses that I ever saw collected in
one bunch. They were all in extra good flesh, knew
their lessons well, staid on a trot and went good gaited,
and it looked to me as if Mr. Spreckels had just the
right man in the right place. Mr, Spreckels was here
himself. I believe his first visit to Cleveland, said he
was well passed with the sale, thought our track and
surroundings were of the best. Millard Sanders
arrived a few days ago with his handsome wife and
boy, and from the looks of the boy I think he is get-
ting his bread buttered on both sides. Dollie Dillon
seemed much improved on the last year's form, tbe
rest of his stable are in excellent shape, and if they
can race half as good as they look they ought to win
him a trunk full of money for him to spend next
winter. Vance Nuckols.

Decoration Day Matinee.

There promises to be an immense crowd at the Oak-
land track this Friday afternoon when the first race
of the matinee program provided by the Golden Gate
Park Driving Association is called. Four races are
on the card, as follows:

First race, 2:40 class — Walter Wilkes, Lady Larsen,
Joe Bonney, Cuba and Bondy C.

Second race, 2:30 class— A. B. P., Velma, Dan Alden,
Clara, Echora Wilkes and Wave.

Third race, 2:20 class — Dody Gray, Cicero, Delia Mc-
Carthy, MissGommet and Alsandy.

Fourth race, free-for-all — Orilla J , Mack, Imp,
Sable Le Grande, Steve S., and Puerto Rico.

These horses are all very evenly matched and a good
contest is expected in every race. The first race will
be called promptly at 1:30.

Heading for Napa.

Hans Frellson has concluded to move his string of
fourteen trotters and pacers from Pleasanton to Napa.
The Napa track is attracting the attention of trainers
from all parts of the State, owing to its fine condition
for working horses. Lessee Arthur Brown is making
it a very agreeable and pleasant place for horsemen.
There must be at least fifty horses stabled at the Napa
track and more are going there within the next few
weeks.

When an unbroken seven year old gelding sells for
*I27. 50 at auction the market for harness horses may
be said to be good.

Good Prospects at Denver.

"The California owners will not have the good time
at Overland this year to which they have been accus-
tomed," writes the correspondent of the Chicago
Horseman. "In past years the strings that came over
the Sierras claimed everything before the start, and
usually made good after the judges had watched the
noses slip under the wire. This year the quality of the
home horses is above that of any other, assuring the
far Western gentlemen of a race every time there is a
start. Among the Californians who have already sent
in their entries are James Wallace, with Glideaway, a
Saraway colt that has shown speed for two years, but
has avoided being marked, and a number of young
ones; W. G. Durfee, with a string of young horses;
Charles Clark, with Toggles, a green pacer named
- Estabella and some young ones. Salt Lake will be
represented by Ed Johnson, who will have the trotter
Emma Poote. J. Wildig, C. E. Luce and F. E. Wilson
are also coming over from the Mormon capital.

The horses at Overland are beginning to get down
into the short figureB in their work. Last Saturday
Agnes Lee May, who is the apple of Ed Gay lord's eye,
made the fastest mile that has been driven in Colorado
this year. She paced in 2:13}, going so easily and so
prettily that her owner is sure she is the coming horse.
Her mark is 2:17}, so that she is eligible to some of the
slower of the fast classes, but she is not likely to start
in many races. Mr. Gaylord holds her for hi9 own in-
dividual use. Though she will not be raced, she will
be sent against the wagon record. Last fall at Mem-
phis, Mr. Gaylord gave her a trial half-mile in one
minute. He is sure she can go the full mile at the
same speed. He handles her himself in all her train-
ing and will hold the reins whenever she starts.

Mr. Gaylord intends to invade the Eastern races this
year with a stable of seven performers, leading the lot
being the game little trotter Yarrum. The horse was
named for Murray Howe, now secretary of the Mem-
phis track, and has a mark of 2:19}. His owner is cer-
tain that the little brown horse can shade 2:10. Up to
date the little horse has had some unfortunate accident
near the opening of each raoing season. He is to be
campaigned this year to get a good mark, if he can
escape the hoodoo that has followed him through his
career. There is no disposition to blame his hard luck
upon the name that was chosen for him. In Mr. Gay-
lord's stable are seven horses, each of which has either
a record of under 2:20, or has been sent a mile at or
under that mark in a trial.

Charley Mac 2:11}; Leigh Crawford, a four year old
green trotter, sired by Charles Derby, dam Abanteo,
by Anteo, and Frank Dale, a four year old trotter, by
Charles Derby, dam Pippo, by Stiletto. Dale secured
a mark of 2:30}, at the Overland meeting last summer,
winning the first he .t in the three year old trot. As
his driver, John Blue, was turning him about after
winning the heat, some one ral9ed an umbrella directly
in front of him. The horse reared and fell over back-
ward, striking his temple on a post of the fence. For
a time he was unconscious, and the large crowd
thought he was dead. With difficulty he was revived
and taken to the stable. Though he recovered in the
course of a week or two he was not again raced last
summer.

Confianza, a three year old trotter, secured a mark
of 2:41}, as a two year old at Overland last year. She
is by James Madison out of a dam by Steinway, and is
expected to show the trotters miles in about 2:15
before the season is very old.

George E. Bennett is an immense green pacer by
Alex Button, and is known as "the Honolulu horse."
Early in the spring he developed a soreness of his
muscles that threatened to put him out of the game
for the year. When Dave Rabould took charge of
the Gaylord stable there was already an order out to
have Bennett turned to pasture. Rabould refused to
recognize the order, used a liniment he had upon the
sore muscles and now the big fellow is going sound
and fast."

No Heat Betting at Brighton Beach.

Secretary C. A. McCully, of the New York TroGting
Association, last year introduced the innovation of
sending horses to the stable that did not win a heat
in three. It is now reported that instead of permitting
books to be made on the heats at this year's Brighton
Beach meeting, there is a strong probability of allow-
ing only betting on the results of a race. In addition
to having a tendency to lessen the "laying-up of heats
evil," this plan will also give the small bettors an
opportunity of playing their favorite.

This plan has been agitated very frequently, and
many of our best horsemen have been quoted as being
in favor of the same, and if it is given a trial at the
Brighton Beach meeting, the result will be watched
with much interest. — American Sportsman.

Stam B. 2:11} and suckling bay colt, left front and left
hind foot white. He is Lady Keating's first foal, and
Lady Keating is the first mare by Stam B. 2:11} to
foal a colt. His Bire is Nutwood Wilkes 2:16i, Bire of
the world's champion trotter, John A. McKerron 2:06}

Sacramento, May 22, 1902:

Rules for Breeding Mares.

The following rules, suggested by Prof. Cossar
Ewart, of Scotland, who has made the subject a mat-
ter of thorough study, are worthy of the consideration
not only of stallioneers, but of every farmer who is ir.
terested in getting a large per cent of colts, and should
be incorporated in the handbills posted by keepers of
stallions and be made a matter of contract between
him and the farmer:

1. Mares which have been indoors during the win-
ter, and which are to run at grass during the summer,
should be acclimated to the change before being
served. This is well understood by horsemen, who
generally follow the above suggestion, which provides
for the mares getting accustomed to the changes in
food, temperature and Burroundings. It is well known
by all practical horsemen that digestive troubles are
quite serious in their effects on the pregnant female.

2. When any signs of being in season are detected
in the mare she should be removed from mares believed
to be already in foal.

3. Mares, more especially excitable oneB, should be
served in the evening and kept shut up apart from
other mares or geldings over night, and should, until
all signs of heat have disappeared, be kept from any
chance of teasing by other horses. In the case of
valuable mares, it would pay the breeder to retain a
competent veterinarian to tide over the excitant
periods, when a calmative, both constitutional (such
as chloral or opium) and uterine (as black haw), might
with benefit be prescribed.

4. Each mare, when bred, should be carefully
watched from week to week, and every ninth or tenth
day be tried until the critical period (end of the sev-
enth week) be passed.

5. Mares in poor condition should not be bred, but
be gotten into condition by the addition of grain to
the daily ration.

6. For at least two months after service the mares
should be neither excited, overheated nor chilled,
neither overfed norstinted from their usual allowance,
and any drugging, except under professional advice,
should be at all times Bternly deprecated.

Millard Sanders' String at Cleveland.

The Cleveland correspondent of the Chicaga Horse
Review writes as follows about Millard Sanders' string
when it reached the Glenville track: "Millard Sanders
arrived from California with the Santa Rosa Stock
Farm's stable Friday, May 9th. The horseB shipped!
through without accident or sickness and all look
ready for the races right now. Sir Albert S. 2:08},
California's 1901 pacing sensation, has had many callers
since his arrival. He could scarcely be accounted a
handsome horse, but has splendid legs, a stout con-
formation and an oily way of going. He worked a
mile in 2:14 before leaving home and stepped the last}
quarter in 30} seconds. Millaid is well pleased with
him as are the others who have seen him race andf
work. Dolly Dillon 2:07 would scarcely be recognized
by those who Baw her last fall. She has filled out!
greatly and certainly looks good. She stepped a miler
in 2:14, last quarter in 31 seconds, before leaving home.
I would not be surprised to see her get a mark of 2:05 I
this season. Anzella 2:10$ was added to the stable thel
past winter. She is an exceedingly handsome mare,
wears light shoes and quarter boots only. Her fastest I
work this season was a mile in 2:13*. Bonsilene 2:14} I
is another impressive mare and has been a mile in 2:14 I
this spring. Nora McKinney 2:17 is also a recent addi-
tion to Sanders' string. She Is pronounced one of the
handsomest of the get of her celebrated sire and has
a great turn of speed besides, and has stepped several
miles around 2:14 this spring. B. S. Dillon 2:25, the
pacing member of the stable, was entered in last week's I
sale but showed so well before leaving home that San-
ders withdrew him and will try to secure him an entry
in the Chamber of Commerce purse at Detroit. He is I
by Sidney Dillon, dam the great broodmare Biscari,
by Director 2:17. Lou Dillon, a four year old
by Sidney Dillon out of a mare by Milton
Medium, paced a mile in 2:14}, last quarter in 31
seconds, before leaving home, but will not be raced
this year. Bavard, a three year old by Directum, dam
by Director, is entered in the Hartford and Ken-
tucky Futurities and in the three year old stake at
Oakley Park. This youngster worked a mile in 2:24}
before coming East. The Santa Rosa stable is one of
the strongest that has been brought from the Coast
since the palmy days of Monroe Salisbury."

A Muscular, Active Horse.

There is now and always will be a good demand at
paying prices for the active, muscular horse of power
and endurance. It matcers not what breed he is, if
he possesses these properties, with style and good per-
sonal appearance, he is in demand. The horse for this
age of business and pleasure must be a business horse.
There is no room for the laggard; a stupid loafer is
just as detestable in a good feeling animal; he muse be
a wide-awake, stylish, active, good feeling animal; he
he must be a horse that moves off with spirit and
energy; a horse with a business air and appearance
that at once is attractive and pleasing to the eye. The
broken down, overworked condition in the horse
comes soon enough, and is an evidence of decline and
inability in the animal to do his best. This condition
greatly lessens the soiling value of the horse. It mat-
ters not whether it is the draft horse, the coach horse,
the saddle horse, the driving horse or the common
plug used for delivery and all purpose work, the dt-
mand is for the sound, muscular, active animal of en-
durance. It therefore behooves the breeders and
raisers of hor6es to discriminate closely in quality of
the progeny of the horse stock on the farm, and raise
nothing but the very best ot whatever variety is
selected. It will not pay to raise weaklings and hot-
house colts.

A Standard Remedy.

Many articles offered for sale to-d>y will have a short-lived
success. This also may be said of many proprietary medicines.
Many patent nostrums endeavor, by the aid that powerful agency,
advertising, to pose as remedies until time has demonstrated their
worthlessness. Time lays away in oblivion every year hundreds
or cure-alls which at their birth seemed big with promise. When
tbe work is done, it is effectually done. The Held Is cleared.
Shams are suppressed and buried; the meritorious survive, and
they stand out with all the greater prominence like truth in
falling error.

The above line of thought as suggested and naturally given
a turn in the direction of veterinary matters by the reappearance
in our columns of the advertisement of Kendall's Spavin Cure. It
is upwards or a quarter of a century now, possibly thirty years,
since the writer, as a boy. recalls having seen the advertisement
of Kendall's Spavin Cure painted on his father's stable door in
Western Pennsylvania. It was tKen, as it is to-day, the one ap-
proved horse remedy in that region, and year by year it has
widened its influences and gone with the horse to tbe settling up
of every part of this country and to many foreign parts This has
only been possible because of its intrinsic worth. The Spavin
Cure was not originally quickly prepared and hurriedly adver-
tised for immediate gain. Dr. Kendall made a study of the horse.
He knew its ailments. And the preparation grew out of his
knowledge of the horse's needs. It embodied what was known to
be valuable for the treatment of the many injuries and ailments
to which the horse is liable. Probably at flr.-.t the commercial
spirit had no consideration in its preparation. If such is true it
argues for the good of the remedy It is pu-ely an article of merit
and has the better siood the test of time. Certain it is that Ken-
dall's Spavin Cure has witnessed the rise and fall of hundreds of
horse remedies, while it still stands the standard remedy of its
kind Its properties are peculiarly adapted 'o the cure of m> great
a number of horse injuries and diseases that the bitties marked
Kendall's Spavin Cure have rightfully found their way into nearly
every stable in the land. It is equally effective for inflammation,
bruises and soreness of any kind in the human body. Ask your
druggist for Kendall's Spavin Cure, or write the Dr R. J- Kendall
Co., Enosburg Palls, Vt., to-day for their book on The Horse and
His Diseases. They send it free if you mention this paper.

in our advertising columns.

It is reported that the purchaser of Rect 2:16J at the
Blue Ribbon sale has placed the gelding in the hands
of John Cheney to race this year.

A superb wistaria, sent East from California ex-
pressly for the purpose, has been placed over the grave

E. E. Smatbers, of New York, has ordered George
Spear to ship Lord Derby and all the other horses in
his stable which have been in training at Memphis to
the Empire City track.

The mare Ellalee hy Dexter Prince out of Extra by
Electioneer, that the late William B. Fasig owned,
i sold at the Blue Ribbon auction at Cleveland this
oonth and brought $1175.

N. G. Smith is nowlocated at Portland, Oregon. He
has the pacer Buford 2:11 J and the marei Mary L. by
Maine Hero and Mollie by Major Seattle. He will
breed these mares to Zombro 2:11.

Jeweler, the green pacer hy Athanio that showed so
ouch speed at Memphis in his work this spring has
een sent back to Village Farm. It is said that Geers
hinks he will hardly do this year.

Geo. T. Beckers will leave Los Angeles next Sunday
for Portland, Oregon, with his great stallion Zombro
2:11. No man is hard up who owns a Zombro colt
these days, as they are ready money.

The famous old trotter, Edward 2:19, owned by
Frank Work, is now running out to grass at Com-
mack, L. I, He is thirty years old and was one of the
sensations of the season of 1878.

Mr. Y. Malarin of this city purchased last week from
H. P. Brown of Salinas, a seven year old gelding by
Diablo 2:09} out of a Prompter mare that has the
speed to give the dust to some of the best on the
speedway in Golden Gate Park. The gelding is an
ideal roadster and is afraid of nothing, and has shown
a trial of 2:18 pacing.

Clancy Brothers of Seattle, Washington, have pur-
chased the McKinney gelding, Cornelius D., that was
raced on the California circuit last year and are enter-
ing him through the North Pacific Coast circuit in the
slow trotting classes. He was a speedy horse last year
but rather unfortunate. In five starts he was second
three times, once third and once fourth.

Geo. Ramage is again in the employ of Pierce
Brothers, of the Santa Rosa Rosa Stock Farm, and is
getting the horses ready for the sale of June 17th.
This means that they will all be in fine shape.

Fred Gerken, owner of The Monk 2:08}, recently
drove the gelding a mile in 2:15 at Memphis, and the
last quarter of it is reported, by a press dispatch, to
have been a shade better than thirty seconds.

The two year old colt by Monterey 2:09} that has
been attracting so much attention at Los Angeles, has
been sold by Joe Desmond to an eastern party. This
colt is considered one of the greatest prospects in the
country.

There are purses for all classes of pacers offered by
the Napa association. The purses are six in number
and for $500 each. The Napa association always pays
its purses, promptly and in full, and will hold one of
the best meetings on the circuit.

Canadian horsemen are confident that Harold H.
2:04 will reduce his record several notches this year.
He is owned by J. S. Swarts, of Wingham, and driven
by Al Proctor. Harold H. has started twenty-seven
times and won twenty-three first moneys.

Beau Ideal by Dare Devil stepped a mile recently at
Memphis in 2:23}, and it is said that Geers thinks him
a sure-enough 2:12 trotter. Another of the get of
Dare Devil, the four year old mare Nonpareil, worked
a mile for Geers in 2:20}, last half in 1.07}.

The California— $2000 for trotters eligible to the 2:24
class — is worth winning, as the winner will get a thou-
sand dollars, quite a sum for a green trotter to earn.
Entries for this race close Monday next, June 2d. It
will be trotted at the Breeders meeting at Fresno this
year. Don't fail to have an entry if you own a trotter
that is eligible and will be able to beat 2:20.

Belle, the dam of Gaff Topsail 2:16, hat foaled a
filly by Sidmoor that measured 43 inches in height the
day it was foaled. Mr. Ott, of Pacheco, the owner of
Sidmoor, was so pleased with the filly that he pur-
chased it and has leased Belle for another year to breed
to his horse. Belle is by Alcona out of a mare by Jim
Lick, next dam a thoroughbred mare by Billy
Cheatham.

Sam Casto has a. two year old by Captain Jones, son
of McKinney, that he calls Gee Whiz and says the
name fits him like a glove. The colt is a trotter and a
regular flyer. Captain Jones will have a number of
fast ones in the list before the northern circuit ends.
Lady JoneB, a two year old filly by him, owned by John
Pender, stepped an eighth in 16 seconds at Salem
recently in her third workout.

Gaff Topsail 2:16, has served 36 mares this year and
has now been put in training at the Vallejo track Tor
the California circuit races. A two year old filly by
him owned hy Ed Kavanagh, who is also the owner of
Gaff Topsail, is one of the best young prospects in So-
lano county. Mr. Kavanagh will probably start thia
filly in the district stakes for two year olds at the
Vallejo and Napa fairs this year.

Frank Dulmaine, one of the most popular citizens of
Gra9s Valley, has recently been appointed a director
of the Nevada county agricultural district and is en-
thusiastically in favor of a big fair and race meeting
being held at the Glenbrook track this year. Mr.
Dulmaine will make a valuable member of the board,
as he is actively energetic in everything that pertains
to the progress of his home county.

The Memphis management has decided to open five
important stakes on July 1st. Turfmen will thus have
full opportunity to size their horses up before making
their entries — an innovation that has been frequently
discussed. All of the winter closing trotting and pac-
ing stakes filled to their projectors' satisfaction and it
is certain this move on the part of the Memphis asso-
ciation will prove successful in every way.

The greatest speed shown by any of the Blue Ribbon
trotters at the Cleveland track the day before the sale
began was exhibited by Wauhan, a gray gelding by
Pilot Medium. He was purchased by Henry Sanders
for $1350.

The great pacer of his day, Frank Agan 2:03}, has
turned "out of training. John Hussey tried to
patch him up last winter for the Hubingers, but was
no more successful than have been half a dozen other
trainers before him.

The 2:25 pace, for which a purse of $1000 was hung
up by the Portland, Oregon, association, closed with
fourteen entries, and the 2:30 trot, also for a thousand
lollars, received fifteen entries. There are no Califor-
: lia owners represented in any of the Portland entries.

John W. Slaven, administrator of the estate of the
late Thos. E. Keating, ha9 filed his final account in the
Probate Court of Alameda county. OI a total of
$7545.72 received there has been paid out for claims
against the estate the sum of $5182.60, leaving a bal-
ance of $2363.12 to be distributed to the legatees. The
estate is less than the aggregate of the bequests made
so thedeviseea will be compelled to accept pro rata
legacies.

The Contra Costa Driving Club is the title of a cor-
poration that has been formed for the purpose of pur-
chasing land at Concord on which to build a race track
and fair grounds. Five directors are provided for and
the following have been chosen for the first year: Wm.
S. Wells, Martinez; F. W. Foskett, Concord; P. J.
Horgan, Concord; VV. S. Burpee, Walnut Creek; Geo.
A. Wiley, Martinez. The capital stock of the corpor-
ation is $10,000, divided into 2000 shares of the par
value of $5 each.

Henry Titer's good luck in purchasing horses at the
auction held by his employer, J. Malcolm Forbes, con-
tinues to be good. Last fall he paid $310 for a year-
ling by Arion, dam Mrs. Jack by Athanio. Recently,
at the Readville track, this colt astonished many of
the trainers there by stepping an eighth in 17 seconds
to cart, which was the more remarkable as the colt
had been turned out all winter and was harnessed for
the first time this year only two weeks previous to this
performance. The colt's name is Heron, and is well
engaged in the futurities.

"Det Bigelow made a purchase last week," says the
Woodland Mail, "which he considers a very good one.
He bought a four year old Diablo mare from her owner,
a man living at Rio Vista, for $1000. Mr. Bigelow has
been training the mare on the Woodland track for the
past few weeks, and though she is hardly broken yet.
she has shown some remarkable bursts of speed. The
other day shedid a mile in 2:161, finishing the last half
in 1:06 and the quarter in 0:32$, showing a 2:10 gait.
The mare's breeding on her dam's side is not known
by our informant. Wm. Murray says that the mare
is worth $3000."

Among those consigned to the Blue Ribbon sale
from Palo Alto that contracted distemper and had to
be withdrawn from the sale was Princess Elden, full
sister to the great mare Eleata, and a greater prospect
than the M. & M. winner at the same age. She was
withdrawn from the sale and sent back to California
with five others that were suffering from the disease.
Her withdrawal lowered the average of the Palo Alto
lot, which, while 40 per cent higher than last year,
would have been still higher had Princess Elden been
sold, as she was one of the choice ones of the consign-
ment.

Mercury 2:25}, bay gelding foaled 1895, hy McKinney
out of Tempest by Sultan, was one of the high priced
ones sold at the Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland. He
brought $2000 and was purchased by G. M. Schneider
of Columbus, Ohio. Mercury is a big, sixteen hand
horse of good habits and fine disposition and took his
record over a half mile track. He has never been
raced on a mile track and is expected to get into the
2:15 list this year. His second dam is Belle Mason, a
thoroughbred mare by Williamson's Belmont that
won races at two mile heats, and produced Bob Mason,
sire of Waldo J. 2:08 and Fred Mason 2:10.

A green trotter that can go through the main Cali
fornia circuit and win will be able to earn quite a pile
of money this year. At San Jose there are $500 purses
for the 2:40 and 2:25 classes; at Vallejo $700 for the 2:30
and $600 for the 2:24 classes; at Napa $800 for the 2:40,
$700 for the 2:30 and $600 for the 2:24 classes; at Wood-
land $750 for the 2:30 class, at the Breeders mpeting at
Freano $2000 for the 2:24 class and $600 for the 2:40.
There are programs yet to be announced by the State
Fair, Stockton, Bakersfield and Los Angeles, which
will contain purses for the green class trotters, ranging
from $700 to $1000 each. A trotter that can win one
race a week on this circuit in the slow classes will be
able to place about $4000 net to bis owner's credit at
the end of the season. The Southern Coast Circuit
and the Northern California Circuit also offer good
purses for this class.

J. M. Nelson went East last week with a string of
trotters and pacers. His car was destined for Minne-
apolis and he will probably race through the Missis-
sippi valley circuit. Tbe best horse in his string prob-
ably is Dan W. 2:17}. This gelding is much stronger
and heavier than he was last year and should be a good
horse in his class in almost any country. A full brother
to that fast trotter Clay S." 2:13}, which Mr. Nelson
has been handling a few months, is a likely trotter
and a mark of 2:20 or better should be within his
reach. The mare Princess Airlie and a young stallion
by Alexis are both trotters of considerable promise
and will be entered in the green classes, fn the car
with Nelson's horses were Sola 2:14} and China Maid.
a green pacer, both by McKinney. They were sent
East with Nelson and and may be raced by him. Ho
Yow, the Chinese Consul at San Francisco, recently
transferred the possession of these mares to Mr.
Stearns, of thiB city.

Diablo 2:09} will get a new 2:15 performer this year
in the big chestnut gelding Imp, owned by the well-
known insurance man, Mr. C. E. Parks of this city.
Like the majority of the Diablos, Imp is improving
with age and gives every promise of being quite a
race horse. Unlike the majority of the Diablo tribe
he is a long-legged fellow, and heretofore has been a
little rough galted, but be has steadied dowD and is
now quite a smooth article. Last Sunday Mr. Parks
gave him three heats over the Alameda track, the first
in 2:20, the second in 2:17}, last half in 1:07, and tbe
horse was pacing at his own will, not being urged in
the least. Imp took a record of 2:191 at Vallejo last
year, and it is not out of reason to expect him to reach
2:14 or better this season. Mr. Parks uses bim as a
business horse in hie buggy the most of the time, rac-
ing him at the driving club matinees and giving him
occasional workouts as opportunity offers. Imp is ii>
game as a pebble but is usually a little too anxious, a
fault he is getting over however.

SALINAS will give a good meeting this year during
the week from August 20th to 23d inclusive
There are eight purses ranging from 8300 to $5C0
already advertised. Entries close July 1st. Look
over theadvertisement of this meeting. Salinas is one

CHAS. F. PRICE has resigned his position as Gen-
eral Manager and Secretary of the California
Jockey Club. Mr. Price's relations with the club
have been most pleasant and his resignation was ten-

another position. He is at present presiding judge at
Latonia,

THE GREATEST BARGAIN offered breeders in
years is the mare Bob, or Lady Ophir as she is
called, the dam of Klamath 2:07}, and two more^m the
list. She can be purchased for a song, and it: is not
the prioe of a Patti or a Melba song either. Write- to
Charles A. Durfee, 8 Magnolia avenue, San Jose,
about it.

SECRETARY CAMPBELL, of Oakley Park, sends
us a list of entries to the rich stakes offered by
his association for the Grand Circuit meeting. All
filled with large lists with the exception of the 2:09
pace, which has been declared off. A 2:09 class pace
will be opened, however, later on. The prospects are
excellent for a great meeting at Oakley this year.

r^ OLDEN GATE PARK DRIVING CLUB will hold
^-* its annual matinee at the Oakland track to-day.
There are four races in addition to the cup race and a
very large crowd will be in attendance to witness the
contests. The club's races are always popular, and
while as a general thing few high class horses are
raced, the contests are usually close and create much
enthusiasm.

V

ENTURA offers two S1000 purses for free-for-all
trotters and pacers. These are larger purses
than any association in California has offered this year
for the same classes. The meeting will open August

6th. Entries close July 1st. There are eight more
purses of S500 each, for trotters and pacers; five for
runners of $200 and two for $250. Read the adver-
tisement.

SANTA BARBARA will hold its annual fair and
race meeting this year from August 12th to 15th.
There are six purses of $250 each for harness horses,
equally divided befween the trotters and pacers. A
good program of running events is also announced.
The complete list of purses offered will be found in our
advertising columns to-day. Entries close July 1st-
Send them to Secretary Brastow, Santa Barbara.

HON. JESSE D. CARR will sell all his standard
bred horses at auction the 26th of next month.
The salt, is to be held at the salesyard corner Market
and Van Nes? avenue, between the 20th and 30th of
June. There are about forty broodmares in the con-
signment that are well bred and excellent individuals.
This is the time to secure mares of this character, as
they will be very scarce for several years to come.
The yearlings, two and three year olds are great pros-
pects. Catalogues will be issued.

MR. C. A. HARRISON, proprietor of the Hotel
Rosslyn of Los Angeles, is in San Francisco this
week on a flying visit and his time is occupied in shak-
ing hands with his hosts of friends. Mr. Harrison is a
most enthusiastic lover- of the harness horse and
always owns a few good ones. He says he has a very
strong desire to win The California 82000 stake at the
Breeders meeting this year with his black horse.
Printers Ink. If there is anything in a name Mr.
Harrison's horse will be uin the monev" sure.

THE SALE OF HORSES from Pierce Brothers'
Santa Barbara farms, which took place at the
Occidental Horse Exchange, last Tuesday, was largely
attended and good prices were obtained. Although
there were but very few horses among them that had
ever worn harness, the average was about S68, show-
ing that the market here is good just now. There
were many compliments paid Mr. Layng on the im-
provements he has made in fitting up his mart for the
sale of horses and other live stock. The accommoda-
tions are first class.

SANTA ROSA STOCK FARM, where Dolly Dillon
2:07 and many other fast ones were bred, will hold
a sale of standard bred horses at the Occidental Horse
Exchange on Tuesday, June 17th. These horses are
all in fine shape and are the best bred and finest look-
ing lot that have been consigned to auction in this
State for a long time. There are stallions, mares,
colts and fillies by Diablo 2:09>, McKinney 2:llj, Sid-
ney Dillon, Director 2:17, Direct 2:051, Boodle 2:12-1 and
other great sires out of some of the best bred mares in
California. Here is an opportunity to get the very
best at your own price.

THE LAST CHANCE to enter in a colt stake this
year is offered by the California State Agricul-
tural Society, which closes the Stanford Stake on
June 1st. It is for foaU of last year (1901), and will be
trotted at Ihe State Fair in 1904. The entrance fee to
this stake is 850 and S300 is added to the stake by the
society. Entries close June 1st, at which time the
small sum of $5 only must be paid. This stake is
growing in value each year and promises being a very
rich one in 1904 so that breeders and owners can hardlt*
afford to be out of it. The way to win is to enter first,
and the best" way to add value to a oolt or filly is to
name It in good stakes like this one. A new feature
in connection with the Stanford Stake is that a special
stake will be opened in 1904 for colts and fillies origin-
ally entered .that develop a pacing gait. If you have
a trotting bred foal of last year enter it in the Stan-
. ford on June 1st. It will pay.

BOW BELLS IS DEAD, and the wonderful family
of Electioneer-Beautiful Bells has lost a shining
member. He was foaled in 1837 at Palo Alto Stock
Farm, took his record of 2:19J in 1892, and has been in
the stud since. His list of standard performers con-
tains-the names of sixteen trotters and nine pacers,
and his fastest are>Matin Bells 2:061, Billy Andrews
2:06-5, BeUewood A.-=2-07J, Bel Esprit 212}, Ringing
Bells 2:131. Janie T.'2Vl4 and Boreal 2:15$, sire of the
great Boralma 2:07. Bow Bells was owned by the late
Marcus Daly for several years and at his death was
sold at auction in. New York. He brought 85100 and
was purchased by Mr. Samuel McMillan, of New York,
who sold a half interest in him the following day to
Andy Welch and John Madden for $5000. The death
of Bow Bells is a great loss to the breeding interests.
He was one of the best of the greatest family of trot-
ting sires ever produced. He was a powerfully built
stallion, standing 16.11 hands, was of very handsome

conformation and imparted these qualities to his get.
During the three years he was at the Bitter Root
Farm he was bred to many very choice mares and haa
doubtless left progeny that will add greatly to his
already brilliant reputation. The cause of his death
was the bursting of a pulmonary blood vessel.

DR. SEWARD WEBB, the New York multi-million-
aire, made a success of his California saddle horse
scheme inaugurated a short time ago in Santa Bar-
bara county, this State. On his farm there he began
the education of a number of horses for use as saddle
animals. They were mostly by trotting bred stallions
out of ordinary mares, many of the latter being
descendants from the mustang stock of early Cali-
fornia. Dr. Webb selected animals of proper size and
conformation for the purpose for which they were
intended and were nearly all broken when he pur-
chased them. After some education by a young
woman rider, who taught them to jump, they were
sent to Dr. Webb's farm at Shelbourne, Vermont, for
the finishing touches of their education. The horses,
when led into the salesring at New York last Tuesday,
were all sound, good mannered, broken to ride and to
drive single and double, and were what ono might call
finished saddle horses for park use. There were six-
teen head in the consignment and they brought a total
of 114,485, an average of S905 each. The highest price
paid for any one horse was $1600. It was the educa-
tion of these horses that brought the price and while
there was in all probability little profit made, the
prices show that there is a demand in New York at
good prices for horses that are fitted for park and
city use.

THE CALIFORNIA CIRCUIT FOR ]902isassum
ing proportions that will place it among the
leading circuits of the United States this year and
make it stand second to none but the Grand Circuit
Over one hundred thousand dollars in purses and
stakes will be hung up for harness horses and if all the
smaller district programs are counted, the sum will
exceed onehundred and fifty thousand dollars. Purse*
on the main circuit will not be less than $500 and from
that up to $2000 is offered for one race. There is do
State in the Union where as much money will be given
for harness races this year, if we except tho big Grand
Circuit cities, as will be given right here in California.
An Eastern horse owner stated in the writer's presence
this week, that programs like those offered at Napa,
Vallejo, Woodland and the Breeders meeting, if dupli-
cated in any State east of the Mississippi, would attracl
a tremendous entry list. Horses that can trot in 2:1:
and pacers that win heats several seconds better thai
2:10 are raced all over the East for purses of frorr
$300 to $500. The Great Western Circuit, which look:
big from here, and which will be raced over by severs
California trainers, does not compare with the Califor
nia circuit as to the size of purses. At Davenport
Iowa, one of the principal places on that cirouit, then
is no purse over $500. At Joliet, Illinois, anothe)
place on this circuit, $600 is the biggest purse: then:
are two of them, one for 2:10 trotters, the other lo\
pacers of the 2:05 class. It is the same all through tb<
Mississippi Valley. $500 purses are about the bes
that any of the associations there hang up. Californii
is a pretty good place for horsemen. The only troubl
here is that the associations are a lit Je slow in making
announcements. However, they may get a faste
move on in the future.

Kentucky's Futurity for Three Year Olds.

The conditions governing Kentucky's Futuritji
$20,000 for foals of 1899, (3 year olds now), show a paji
ment of $50 due on June 1st, 1902. Of the abov'
amount S6000 was won by the two year olds tba
trotted and paced for it during the October, 190)
meeiing. The remaining $14,000 will be trotted fo
during the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders Assi
ciation's great ten-day meeting, October 7 to 18t
next, and will be divided: $10,000 to first horse: $200
tn second ; 81000 to third horse; 8500 to fourth hori
$300 to nominator of dam of winner; $100 to nominate
of dam of second; $75 to nominator of dam of thin

Reading Character in a Horse.

Almost everybody, man, woman or child, should
understand the salient points of a horse's character
and be able to form an estimate of an animal's disposi-
tion aftersomestudy of itshabitsand general features.
In fact, no one can become a good driver until he
knows how to judge the animal he is to guide. To be
able to distinguish a horse of a gentle disposition from
one inclined to be tricky or vicious is indispensable
when hiring a mount or driver from a livery stable.

The eye and the ear are the two principal features
to ba closely regarded as the indexes to tho traetability
and gentleness of the animal.

A clear eye of moderate size should be sought after,
as indicating obedience and intelligence. A horse
having a set. staring eye is almost sure to shy and to
be foolishly frightened without cause. As in man,
breadth between the eyes in icates good judgment.
Large, full eyes always belong to a kindly-natured
animal, just as small eyes drawn up at the corners in-
dicate a cunning horse, never to be depended upon
under the most favorable circumstances.

The ear should be regarded with much care, as its
atitude and movements telegraph the workings of the
animal's brain to the owner or driver. Horses having
a restless, moving ear are high-strung and nervous,
and inclined to scare unless closely watched. Some,
times a restless ear indicates poor eyesight. Animals
throwing the ears far back are inclined to nip and
bite, andTare particularly ugly to theirown kind, hence
never should be hitched near other horses.

Horses which habitually hold their ears in one posi-
tion usually are dull, stupid creatures, slow of gait and
not to be hurried by any amount of coaxing or urging.
Ofttimes deafness or difficulty in hearing can be de-
termined by watching a horse's ears, which will remain
immovable and undisturbed when any sudden noise
occurs, plainly indicating that the animal is unaware
of any unusual sound.

Some trainers of horses have pet theories regarding
the color of a horse having something to do with his
disposition; claiming that chestnuts and sorrels are
likely to be high-strung creatures, and giving gray
horses credit for docility. An eminent veterinary
would argue otherwise, claiming that "investigation
along this line has not led us to believe that there is
any reliance whatever to be placed io opinions formed
upon such a theory. It is also contended that color
has much to do with the eomfort of the animal when
exposed to the sun's rays, especially in the summer
season, but our observations have not demonstrated
the truth of this supposition, as it has been clearly
shown time and again that dark horses are able to do
just as much work without showing fatigue as those
of a lighter color. This may be accounted for by the
fact that the coat is a non-conductor within certain
limits, so that it probably makes little difference what
color it is so far as the temperature of the parts be-
neath is concerned."

Few Declarations tor Brighton Cup.

The only declarations from the Brighton Cup are
Captain Sam Brown's Garry Hermann, William C.
Whitney's Endurance-by-Right and Elkhorn, James
R. Keene's Port Royal, Green B. Morris' Autolight
and A. L. Aste's King Bramble. The withdrawal of
these horses has not detracted from the merit of the
long distance classic, which is richer in promise this
year than ever before. The list of eligible candidates
is a strong one, embracing as it does James B. Hag-
gin's great horse Watercolor, F. C. McLewee & Co. 's
Gold Heel9, Frank Farrell's Blues and Bonnibert,
Walter Rollins' sturdy campaigner Herbert, Perry
Belmont's Flywheel, R. T. Wilson's (Jr.) Dlxiellne and
Carbuncle, J. A. Manahan's The Rhymer, H. J. Mor-
ris' Surmise, The Osceola Stables' Maid of Harlem,
winner of the Champion Stakes of last year; Jack
Follansbee's Roehampton, L. V. Bell's Baron Pepper,
Mr. Whitney '8 crack three year olds Yankee and Gold-
smith, Green B. Morris' Wateroure, and among the
other good horses Hernando and Argregor. While
Mr. Whitney and Green Morris have made declarations,
t will be noticed that the pick of their candidates still
are eligible for the pioneer cup race of the new turf
era. The Brighton Cup will be worth about $8000.
It has been won by such great horses as The Friar,
Hamburg and Ethelbcrt, each the property of a
millionaire, and it is said tnat Mr. Haggin is ambitious
to win it with Watercalor. There is some doubt about
Watercolor's ability to negotiate a cup distaoce against
horse9 of the first order, but if he should win the
Brighton Cup he will have set the stamp of class on
his carear.

The table printed above gives, at a glance, an idea
of the limits to which the battle foi supremacy on the
New York speedway has forced the enthusiastic
millionaire amateurs who daily drive on the great
course for the glory of holding the ribbons over the
winners.

Until a short time ago tho man who owned a fast
roadster that won a fair percentage of the brushes
indulged in was content to own a single horse. Now,
so keen has the growing competition for the honors
become that not single roadsters, but whole stables of
the fleetest animals obtainable, from three to twenty
in number, are maintained by men whose fortunes are
written in five and six figures, and the value of the
horses which are 6een constantly on the road amounts
to much more than a quarter of a million dollars.

The owners' names are well known wherever the
standard-bred is admired, and not one but will, at any-
cost, buy any horse whose record and ability are likely
to carry them into the front rank of speedway drivers.
Champions of the road come and go as well as in any
other competitions in which the element of chance is
an important factor, and it is this uncertainty and
constant change that fascinates the wealthy horseman
and leads him to another effort to capture the high
honors.

At present New York horsemen possess the grandest
collection of light harness horses in the country —
thanks to the Speedway — and besides the fortunes
that are invested in the blue blooded stars of the turf,
it requires a small fortune to maintain them for racing
purposes. Nathan Straus, who was one of the first
Speed way drivers, and for a long time swept the famous
driveway clean with his handsome chestnut trotter
Cobwebs 2:12, has round the great son of Whips a trifle
too slow for many new aspirants, and he has wisely
added to his possessions some promising new material-
His bay pacer Quadriga2:08and the speedy bay trotter
Alves 2:09i are both rapidly coming to the front, and
Mr. Straus is forever on the lookout for another Cob-
webs, whose road record has never been equaled.

Few persons are aware of the care given to the
Speedway racers to fit them for their grueling road
struggles. Mr. Straus only recently opened a new
stable in Harlem, which he had expressly built for his
"pets," where they receive the best of care and atten-
tion from Trainer Sullivan and experienced handlers.
E. E. Smathers is another ODe of the road brigade
who never hesitates to pick up a good thing, regard-
less of the cost. Only last winter Mr. Smathers went
into Madison Square Garden determined to send Lord
Derby 2:06} to his stable and he secured him with a
bid of $12,500. Queen Wilkes, the dainty little mare
that is considered the fastest trotter on the Speedway
to-day, also cost Mr. Smathers a good sum, but it is
safe to 9ay that the New Yorker has received more
than his money's worth out of that little bundle of
nerve and muscle.

A. B. Gwathmey i9said to have paid $5000 for Tudor
Chimes last fall to pole with Tiverton, and there are
many others willing to do the same providing the
goods are delivered.

Of the many prominent speedway patrons, however,
it is doubtful if any has so much at stake in horseflesh
as C. K. G. Billings, the Chicago millionaire, who now
makes his headquarters in this city. To begin with,
Mr. Billings owns the largest individual stringof wagon
horses — about twenty in number — whioh he uses for
his own pleasure on the speedway and at the amateur
race meets. It has been said that Mr. Billings' sport
costs him $100,000 a year, but it would appear that
this is a much smaller sum than is actually expended.
David La Mar, the Wall-street broker, who is ready
for all comers whenever he appears on the road, has a
collection of light harness stars that are valued well
up in the thousands. They include such well known
performers as the trotter Sally Simpson 2:111, Teto
2:14J, King 2:13} and the pacer Nathan Straus 2:091 .
M. C. Harrison has a good trotter in Axtello 2:15, and
with one or two others to give him a let up now ard
then, Axtello would be a hard one to beat by any of
the stars.

Charles Lloyd and his handsome prize winner Mai.
zour 2:153 is a hard combination to beat in the 2:15
class, and the black, with speed, conformation and

style, is one of the most valuable steppers on the road.
In fact, Mr. Lloyd values him above mcoey.

John F. Cockerill, president of the Road Drivers'
Association, has three speedy ones in Swift. Rival and
Phoebe Childers. Swift has proved his claim to cham-
pionship, but Rival and Pbopb'j Childers have been
given little work this season.

Fred Gerken, who owns last year's speedway cham-
pion, The Monk 2:08, believes he has a $10,000 "stepper
in the handsome bay, and he is having him prepared
for the Grand Circuit this season, with a view of carry-
ing off some rich prizes. He will be returned to the
speedway in the fall, w'hen Mr. Gerken intends to have
him in shape to race against all comers. It is not
expected that the honors will be so easily decided as
they were last year, as the horses seem more evenly-
matched than ever Defore.

The Blind Trotter.

There is much speculation among trainers as to just
what will he the outcome of Scott Hudson's experi-
ment of taking a blind trotter down the Grand Circuit.
It is the bay horse, Rythma, a son of Oakland Baron
out of a mare by Strathmore. The horse was bred by
Douglass Thomas, in Bourbon county, and worked a
m'le last season over the farm track at the Thomas
place close to 2:10. That the son of Oakland Baron is
a speed sensation no one doubts. What he will do
when he gets bumped in a big field is the question that
trainers are thinking of. Hudson hasentered Rythma
extensively down the circuit in the green classes to
which he is eligible. Rythma is taking his work daily
over the Lexington track and goes as nicely as if there
was no such thing as blindness. Many of the Lexing-
ton, Kv., trainers are of the opinion that Hudson is
taking a long chance with a blind horse. They argue
that some fellow with a grudge will bump Rythma
going around the turn In a big field, and that the
blind horse will lose his head instantly and develop a
tendency to run away. "Hudson ought to get him in
a race that he knows the horse can win," said one
trainer, "and then get him out in front of the field
and bring him back and let him out ahead of them
until he gets used to the company. A race or two like
that ought to do the trick. Give the horse a little
schooling of this kind, which will inspire his con-
fidence in the man with the reins, and Rythma ought
to be bringing back some of the money next fall."

Fifty Thousand Dollars.

This is the aggregate amount of money offered by
the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders Association for
its early closing or fixed events, entries to which close
on Monday, June 2d.

Aside from the direct pecuniary profits accruing to
the "best horse" in any of these "turf classics, " the
increased yalue of the winner is very material, and
therefore we are at a loss to understand how any owner
can afford to fail to send his nominations to Secretary
E. W. Shanklin before the time of closing.

The classes are arranged to suit horses of every de-
gree of speed, and will be so carded that each horse
can have an opportunity of contesting in two or more
races during the ten days of the meeting, with from
three to seven days rest between.

The Fisherman's Ill-luck.

An angler cast his braided line

Fast by a brooklet's grassy edge;
Alas, his book caught in a root.

His line was tangled in the sedge.
Wnen it was free he cast again,

Hopeful a spangled trout to snare,
Alas, a worthless bull-pout came,
. Struggling, convulsive in the air.

An atrgler by a crystal lake

Sought eager for a black bass prize:
Alas, upon his hook impaled,

A writhing sunBsh meets his eyes '.

An angler by the river's bank.

Whose golden willows cast a shade,
Hoped there a salmon, large and bright,

Would snatch the glittering lure displayed;
Alas, a humble pickerel

His only prey for rod and reel.

An angler by Ploridian stream.

Zealously sought the tarpon king:
He cast his line with matcnless skill.

His reel did hum, his line did sing;
There came a dash, a mighty splash.

He thought the kingly fish bis game,
Alas, 'twas channel bass that came.'

An angler by the ocean surf,

Cast for a blue fish far his line,
Or for a Spanish mackerel.

Careering thro* the foamy brine;
Alas, a dogfish rises there,

The sole reward for skill and care;
Or sculpin or the long-tailed skate,

Seize greedily his tempting bait!
In ripples of the breezy bay.

He sought the weakfish for his creel:
Alas, those darlings failed to bite,

He only caught a slippery eel.

The five preliminary or- classification contests this

Beep Sea Life and Its Wonders.

To the devotee of rod and line intrinsically, the
recreation, and sport derived, from lifting a fish out
of the water is not the whole sum of the salt water
water angler's ambition. The habits, "habiliments''
and methods of reproduction of the comparatively
small number of fishes which are found in lakas and
streams is a subject of study and recreation to many
studious anglers. This latter field — or rather water,
however, palls into insignfiicance as compared to the
possibilities of study and research pertaining to the
denizens of salt waters.

According to Prof. Charles F. Holder, a scientist
and sportsman — to whom coming generations will fee^
largely obligated for the introduction, as a sport, and
successful application of rod and line tackle in the
capture of several varieties of deep sea and ocean fish —
there is a plethora of salt water life that is marvelous
to the ordinary or careless bhserver:

Those animals of the deep see which live habitually
in water just above the freezing point, in darkness
that is profound, are among the most grotesque and
singular of living, beings. The. fishes, so far as known,
are of small size;- but this does not prove that there
are no large "animals in the deep sea. The method of
taking deep sea forms precludes the capture of any
except the small and very sluggish ones which lie in
the deep ooze, but the time will come when a large
dredge will be invented in which the monsters of the
deep will be taken, as there are few naturalists who
have given the subject any attention but believe there
are in the greater depths some gigantic animal which
is occasionally seen by those who go down to the sea
in ships. The many and oft recurriDg stories of the
sea aerpent cannot all be visions, pictures of the fancy.
Many of the supposed sea serpents are whales, lines
of birds, or patches of sea weed, but it is the consensus
of opinion among conservative naturalists that there
is some gigantic animalin the deep sea yet unknown
to science which occasionally comes to the surface,
showing portions of its form, to the amazement of the
mariner who may chance to be in the vicinity.

As to the nature of these unknown animals we have
several suggestions. Some years ago a fisherman on the
Georges Banks off the Newfoundland coast, or in that
vicinity, brought up a remarkable fish twenty feet in
length which was entirely new to him. Considering
it a mere incumbrance it wai thrown ovtrboard, but
the catch was reported and aroused great interest
among naturalists; so much that a large sum was
offered to the fishermen to fish it up again, which they

tried to do without success. The fish was a veritable
young sea serpent, and if such a fish attained the
length of fifty feet it would well compare with the
accounts of sea serpents which are reported so often.
Since this occurrence several eel-like sharks have been
taken; long, serpentine-like creatures that when large
must be the sea serpents of the deep sea, and have
convinced observers that the tales which have aroused
the credulity of people are not without foundation,
and that this mysterious realm conceals strange and
gigantic forms which only rarely rise to the surface.

The eel-like sharks found are in some instances
luminous, emitting a strange light over their entire
surfaces — the light givers of the deep sea.

Another denizen of the deep is the so-called ribbon
fish, several specimens of which the writer has seen
on the shores of Santa Catalina Island. This creature
is one of the most beautiful of all fishes. It resembles
a white or silver ribbon, slashed with black. A loDg
fin extends its entire length, and over the head forms
a number of plumes or pompons of a vivid red that in
long specimens might easily be taken for a mane wav-
ing to and fro. That this delicate ribbon fish attains
a very large size is generally believed, as good-sized
specimens have been captured. Some years ago a
fisherman was hauling a net on the coast of Scotland,
when it was found that some heavy weight was hold-
ing the net back. Additional help was obtained, and
a dozen men finally hauled in a monster fish which was
estimated to weigh 800 pounds. It was a gigantic rib-
bon fish, 30 feet or more in length, so long and heavy
that it required the efforts of half a dozen men to carry
it along the deck. It was a veritable sea serpent, and
extending from its head were tall deep red or scarlet
plumes, like fins, which formed a sort of "mane," fre-
quently described as being seen on the typical sea ser-
pent. If these fishes attain a length of 30 feet, there
is no reason why they may not exceed this, and it is
very possible that some of the "sea serpents" which
have been observed at various times were gigantic
ribbon fishes which came up from the deep sea and
moved along with undulating motion at the surface.

During the past year a large specimen of this deep
sea wonder was washed ashore at Newport Beach,
California, where it was destroyed by a Mexican
ignorant of its value. The fish, which was 25 or 30
feet in length and estimated to weigh 500 pounds, was
seen at first in the surf, presenting a remarkable
appearance as its silvery folds rolled over and over
and flashed in the sunlight. The finder waded into
the surf and, with much difficulty, hauled the strug-
gling ribbon fish out upon the sands.

How deep the ribbon fish lives in the sea is unknown,
but it is supposed to come up from the very great
depths where almost profound darkness reigns.

One of the most remarkable as well as gigantic
animals of the deep sea is the giant squid— a favorite
tidbit of the sperm whale. The size to which these
animals grow, their strength, and their hideous appear-
ance places them on a par with many of the weird and
grotesque creatures of a past age. The squid un-
doubtedly attains a length of nearly, if not over, 100
feet, and pieces have been taken from the stomacb of
whales which suggested animals far beyond this in
size.

No more hideous creature can be imagined. The
body is barrel-shaped, the tail like an arrow head, the
eyes as large as saucers, black and white, hypnotic,
and stariDg. The arms are attached to the head and
are ten in number, from ten to twenty feet loDg in
extremely large animals, while two are from thirty to
fifty feet in length, depending upon the size of the
individual. The short arms are provided with extra-
ordinary suckers their entire length. The two loDg
ones have them only at the extremities, and they form
virtually a pair of pincers, which are shot out thirty or
more feet like a flash of light to seize unsuspecting
prey, which is then hauled among the shorter arms
and held powerless to escape. The mouth is small,
but is provided with two large parrot-like beaks. This
weird creature, weighing tons, with a power of chang-
ing its color like a chameleon, and in some species
luminous, lives in deep fjord-like bays and probably in
the deeper regions of the ocean, as' it is rarely seen
except when wounded. A number of years ago an
epidemic appears to have overtaken these animals and
numbers were found at the surface in Newfoundland
waters — one, fifty-five feet in length, giving the man
who discovered it a hard struggle. The hideous ani-
mal threw its arms over the boat, holding on with its
vice-like strength, emitting clouds of ink, which per-
meated the water in every direction. It was finally
secured, towed in, and anchored in the surf, where it
lay until the tide ebbed, tossing its arms aloft, filling
the water with ink — a terrifying spectacle.

The capture of nearly all the giant squids has been
sensational. The French man-of-war Alectron sighted
one some years ago lying upon the surface. A boat
was lowered, but the captain was loath to allow his
men to attack it, fearing that some one would be
killed or injured by the flying arms or be hauled down
into the water. Finally a harpoon was thrown into it
that killed it. When the animal was hauled aboard,
by its mere weight it fell apart, yet there was no doubt
but that it could have held two men in each arm and
drowned them very easily in the open water.

So uncanny a creature might well inspire horror
among seamen, but there is every reason to believe
that they are very timid. .The writer measured one
of these'ammals which proved to be 45 feet in length;
and at the Island of Santa Catalina ouce observed a
school of squids, from 8 to 10 feet long, rush in upon
the rocks, chased by large fishes. One of these curious
creatures was placed in a large tank, where it lived for
several hours, giving a remarkable exhibition of color
chsDges. It threw its long arms about the edges of
the tank with a grip almost impossible to dislodge,
while over its body flashed tint and color changes
fairly dazzling. The prevailing hue was reddish
brown, becoming vivid, then fading away to pale gray,
suggestive of the possibilities of concealment of this
strange animal. The writer has seen them poising
over a white sandy bottom almost invisible, then when
over a dark bottom they took on a darker shade also
almost invisible to any lurking foe. When attacked

the animal shot away, tail Qi'st, like an arrow, dis-
charging- backward at its enemy a cloud of ink which
filled the water for many feet about — a protective
measure at once effective and sensational.

The question of large animals of the deep sea is one
of the problems of the future, and doubtless in the
years to come some trap will be devised which will
bring to the surface of the deep sea. which in form and
shape will be as remarkable as the smaller animals
which are known to be the light beacon of these
abyssmal regions of the ocean world.

Protect the Blackbirds.

A herald of good tidings is the slogan signalled by
the San Jose Mercury: "The blackbird, wjiich was at
one time almost universally despised, is growing in
favor with fruit growers, who now realize that the
bird is an active past destroyer.-' We have advocated
tolerance and protection not only for the blackbirds,
but for numerous other maligned, and nonetheless,
feathered benefactors of the husbandman and the
community at large. Let the good work of genuine
protection grow apace so that the sprout may take
root and attain a large, sheltering growth as the tree
of rational and true protection.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

There is now in use a luminous gun sight. It is of
English invention. A tiny incandescent lamp, fed
from a single storage battery concealed in the gun
stock, is mounted within a shield at the muzzle of the
gun. and a faint ray of light calculated to indicate the
position of its source, is exposed in the direction of the
shooter's eye, and this is sufficient to enable him to
obtain the required alignment with the back sight and
with the target, be it animate or inanimate.

Sabin Ostrander, who died some twelve years ago,
Dear St. Marys, Pennsylvania, aged ninety-six years,
was probably the last of the original frontier back-
woodsmen, and was never seen without his gun on his
shnuldor and two or three dogs at his heels. He had
always lived in the woods, and hunted while the
Indians still had hunting grounds in Pennsylvania and
Ohio; and in all bis long life of exposure and hardships
he never had a day's sickness until in June, three
months before he died. What an amazing record this
is. Not one man in a million can approach it. The
reason is plain, Ostrander's life was simple and natural,
ours is most false and artificial. The disease that
cripples and kills many people, the old hunter never
suffered from — indigestion.

The sea-lion is generally supposed to be a worthless
beast; but he is far from being so. Indeed, the uses
he is put to would surprise you, Mr. W. F. Shattuck
claims. He is quite numerous in many places along
the Pacific Coast and hunters make fair wages in his
pursuit. The weapon used is a good riflle, and he is
tumbled over usually while basking on the rocks;
although when killed in deep water the carcass floats
to shore in a short time. The hides sell from one to
three cents a pound — those of the big bull being used
for belting and briDg the lower price. The cow and
calf skins make an excellent glove leather. The
wbiskers or "feelers" are very tough and wiry — vary-
ing in leogth from four to five inches — and are used
by the Chinese ladies for hair ornaments, they string-
ing bangles and cheap jewelry thereon. The very
long ones are worth about 75 cents each — the prices
ranging down to about two ceDts. When sold in bulk
they average from 10 to 15 cents each. The galls, used
for medicine by the Chinese, are also highly prized.
One young hunter of my acquaintance, several years
ago, shipped to San Francisco 10,500 pounds of hides,
2300 wbiskers and a lot of galls — netting him quite a
large sum. Sea-lion hunters also pick up an occasional
sea otter, the skins of which range in price from $J50
to $400 — an unusually fine onesometimes reaching$500.
The friend here alluded to was lucky enough on odo
occasion to be one of a hunting party that killed nine
sea outers in one day. They surrounded a whole
"rookery" of them near Cape Blanco. Some of them
were pups, but the lot brought ahout $1300. This w .=.
of course, phenomenal luck, as weeks or months will
sometimes pass without the hunter securing a single
pelt.

Fire Building in the Rain.

Concerning the proper way of building a camp fire,
is a subject worthy of some little consideration. Given
favorable conditions and plenty of fuel and matches,
and any one can easily and quickly start a respectable
blaze. There is nothing difficult about tb_G ignition of
combustible substances — merely a case of "touch and
go" — pile up the shavings and paper, and scratch a
match and "there you are!" But starting a fire in
the darkness or rain, or both! That is quite another
sort of a proposition. You have been walking hard
for hours, striving to get back to camp, to rejoiD your
companions or to reach shelter. You have struggled
manfully along until darkness has fallen around you.
The earth is soaked and the trees dripping with moist-
ure and the rain is dashing in your face and running
in rivulets down your limbs underneath your clothing.
Further progress is impossible, you must halt right
where you are, and, if possible, make yourself com-
fortable for the night; and your first needs are light
and warmth. On such an occasion as this, one dry
match is worth a thousand that are wet but how few
are the young hunters who have provided any way of
keeping their matches dry through four or five hours
of driving rain! The manufacturers who devote their
lives and energies to the task of supplying sportsmen's
needs, have never yet catalogued a sure-enough water-
proof match-box; but the one who does will never be

forced to create a demand for his wares. Waterprool
match-boxes are among the crying needs of the hour.
Every sportsman should iave one. Uncle Sam could
find a piace to-daj for 200,000 of them, but we are all
doing without because there are no waterproof match
boxes on the market. Some sportsmen have used an
ounce round vial which answers the purpose, but it is
unnecessarily heavy and clumsy to carry, and is
besides always liable to be broken. Some of these
days one may take a tumble, and "come to" with a
pocketful of shattered glass, and be lucky if the dam-
age extends only to the vial and its contents. It is
singular why some enterprising manufacturer does
not turn out a light, aluminum case with a long screw
top, which would hold fifteen or twenty matches and
keep them good and dry. Something like Cushman
& Dennison's ten cent oilers, only twice as big and
with a plain top instead of the oil tube.

But let us suppose that your matches are all right,
and that you are in the big woods, wet and miserable,
and cognizant of the one fact that you want a fire and
want it bad. There is plenty of fuel all around you,
but you can hardly find it in the darkness, and if you
already had it in hand, firing it with a match would be
out of the question. Your greatest need is kindlings,
and it is well to remember that any fallen twigs you
may pick up will be water-soaked and worse than use-
less. Wood draws dampness from the earth, and a
stick which is wet through to the heart will not burn.
Furthermore, it is a waste of time to cut shavings
from a stick, however thin, unless from a pine knot or
a bit of hard wood that is thoroughly dry and thor-
oughly seasoned. While the rain is falling and the
Knife-blade is wet, it is impossible to prevent the
shavings from becoming thoroughly soaked, and the
flame of a match will blacken them and nothing more.
But now to tell you how to get your kindlings. As
trees and bushes grow their lower branches die, and
eventually drop off, but at any time you can find them,
seasoned as hard as nails, still clinging to the parent
trunk. So long as they remain on the tree no amount
of rain can soak them through. A moment's trouble
will secure you a double handful of little twigs from
the size of a knitting needle to that of an eight-penny
nail — the smaller they are the better — and you will be
surprised to see how readily they will catch and how
brightly they will burn. Add other small sticks as
rapidly as you may without smothering the blaze,
crossing them slightly, but only enough to permit a
free draft. Don't make a "bird's neBt" of your fire.
Sticks, to burn well, must He close enough together to
keep hot.

A good deal depends upon the selection of a proper
spot for fire building. Supposing you have been work-
ing in the darkness, as soon as a light has been secured
it will be advisable to discover whether you had best
move the fire to a more suitable place. A log or stump,
whether sound or decayed, will, if the fire is started
against it, help wonderfully in the way of making and
throwing out heat. Be sure that you never fire a dead
tree or stub which may possibly burn through and fall
upon you A green tree is usually safe, unless hollow.
For a quick, hot fire start your little blaze at the
root of a tree, adding first short sticks, then longer
and larger ones, leaning them over the fire with their
upper ends resting against the bark. Pack them as
closely as you like; the fire will find its way through.
Keep stacking on the wood until you have made use
of all within easy reach, and you will have a blaze that
will dry your clothing from top to toe before finally
dropping to a bed of embers.

The secret of successful fire building lies in taking
plenty of time and placing each individual stick where
it will burn to the best advantage. There is a story
of one clever woodsman who once, in midwinter,
camDed comfortably on a floating log, miles from dry
land, collecting his fuel from the driftwood which had
caught against neighboring bushes and was lodged
high and dry; another tale of ingenious resource is
related where a sportsman once ran across a couple of
town lads who had pitched their tent in some cedar
brakes and had wasted their last match in trying to
light a heap of green limbs as large as your arm. To
teach them a practical lesson in woodcraft, be removed
the bullet from a 38-55 shell, replaced it with a pinch
of rotten wood crumbled into bits the size of wheat
grains, and in five minutes had "shot fire,' into an old
stump — thus solving the problem that had been
troubling the boys for hours.

Canine Distemper and Its Cure.

Canine distemper has at all times been considered a
very fatal disease and has been classed under various
names. It resembles typhoid fever of man very closely,
and occurs in the dog, cat, fox, wolf, coyote, hyena,
prairie dog and monkey, and is higly contagious from
one of these animals to another. Theinfecting medium
being a very short bacillus, which is highly resistant.
Tho disease may be transmitted from an animal of one
species to that of another, and an infected kennel often
remains the source of infection for many weeks.

It is more contagious for young than for old animals,
partly because one attack generally confers immunity.
About two-thirds of the animals that suffer from dis-
temper have it while under one year of age. It may.
however, be seen in very old animals. Puppies have
been known to suffer wtth it as early as the second
week. The period of incubation or the time from
which the animal becomes infected until the first
symptoms of the disease may be noticed is four to
seven days. The germ of distemper is both fixed and
volatile, that is, the disease may be contracted by
■direct contact with bacillus, or they may become dry
and float around in the atmosphere.

The germ undergoes dessication by the atmosphere
without lo?i-_r any of its virulence. The discharge
from an infected animal is very rich in bacteria.
Hence the necessity of thorough disinfection. One

attack usually confers immunity, but this may only be
temporary, and the animal again suffers from the disease
at some later period. It is most easily transmitted by
cohabitation. The air may also be considered a com-
mon medium of transmission. Many predisposing
causes maybe mentioned in connection with the dis
ease, but it cannot occur without contact with the
germ of distemper. As predisposing causes we mighl
mention cold, damp kennels, bad diet, dirty Utter, or
any condition that tends to weaken the animal; but
these conditions only predispose to the disease in so
far as they lessen the animal's resistability to any
disease.

It has been supposed that pure bred animals are
more subject to it than mongrels, but this is not the
case, as one breed is no more subject to a contagious
diseasothan another^ Many people imagine that a
meat diet will produce distemper. This, however, is
not true, but on the other hand is the best diet that a
young dog could have, as a dog will starve to death
on a purely vegetable diet.

Distemper is the most common disease to which the
dog is heir, and occurs mostly during spring and sum-
mer, as the warm, damp weather is more favorable to
the development of the germs.

Distemper consists of an inflammation of the mucous
membranes of the digestive and respiratory organs.
It may at times be accompanied by serious nervous
troublts which are very complex in their nature. The
first symptom noticed is possibly a profound depression.
The animal suffers from loss of appetite, easily fatigued,
very chilly, rise of temperature and dry, hot nose;
discharge from the eyes and nose. This discharge, as
the disease advances, becoming dry and crusted. It
frequently becomes attached to the lids of the eye,
and becoming very dry, irritates the surface of the
cornea until a deep ulcer is produced. The animal
exhibits an intense thirst. We may notice much
vomiting, and will always notice a persistent cough as
if the animal was choking. This cough, being due to
a dryness of the mucous membrane of the mouth and
throat. Thick, ropy saliva dribbling from the corners
of the mouth. As the disease advances the animal
suffers from a fetid diarrhoea. This may be either
mucous or streaked with blood. The gait of the ani-
mal becomes very uncertain, and the discharges from
the nose and eyes become yellow or green. Complete
loss of appetite and the development of convulsions of
either the entire body or certain groups of muscles
are indications that little can be hoped for from treat-
ment. Pustules may be noticed on the uncovered
skin of the abdomen, these being about the size of a
pea, dry up after three or four days, leaving a reddish
brown crust.

Among the nervous symptoms we may first notice
excitement or spasms, the animal very restless; convul-
sions of the muscles one leg, or any set of muscles.
These symptoms being evidence of the appearance of
chorea, and should the dog recover from the acute
form of the disease these symptoms may frequently
remain throughout his life. The duration of the dis-
ease is about six to eight days. About twenty per
cent of the animals affected in the country die, while
the mortality in the cities is more than twice this.

The treatment of distemper is very complex. Among
the drugs that may be beneficial is sulphate of quinine
in doses of three grains three or four times a day; sul-
phate of iron in the same size doses. Possibly the
best drug in the treatment of distemper would be
thermol in doses of from two to four grains three
times a day. In the treatment of distemper attention
to the diet and general sanitary conditions of the ken-
nel is highly important. The dog should be given
highly nutritious concentrated foods as beef extracts,
gruels, chopped meats, bread and milk. It seems that
the best treatment for distemper would be its preven-
tion and this may be accomplished by the vaccination
of all young puppies with distemper anti- toxin. This
may be purchased from any first class drug store, that
used being the distemper and influenza anti-toxin pre-
pared by H. K. Mulford & Co. for the treatment of
distemper in the horse. The dose for a puppy of about
two months being about 3 C. C. injected beneath the
skin of the abdomen every three months, increasing
one C. C. at each injection until the dog has arrived
at one year of age, after which time he will generally
remain immune to the disease. The cost of the anti-
toxin is about $1.50 for six doses. Pups that are vac-
cinated in this manner may be placed in a kennel
where distemper is already raging and not contract
the disease. Those that already suffer from it should
be given 5 C. C. in the same manner. The anti-toxin
should be injected with an ordinary black -leg syringe.
After a case of distemper has been noticed in a ken-
nel the well animals should be removed to thoroughly
disinfected quarters and the infected area thoroughly
sprayed with a 5 per cent solution of creolin or carbolic
acid, and all of the litter and refuse burned. New
dogs should be quarantined for a period of ten days
previous to their admission to the kennel. — Dr. W. S.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

Miriam J., Mr. George G. Gauld's handsome English
Setter bitch, has been sent to Elko, Nevada, and will
be bred to Dr. Wilson's Clipper W.

Champion Woodcote Wonder, so rumor hath it, will
be seen on the Eastern circuit again. He has been
shipped by this time or will be shortly.

Endcliffe Rebel aDd Reynard's Rascal, two very
good Scotties, we understand were sent East after the
Sacramento show. Rebel goes to George Thomas;
Rascal will be returned to Nosegay Kennels at Webster
Grove, Mo.

Mr. Albert Joseph has had rather an unlucky ex-
perience with his Bostons. Closely following the death
of the handsome bitch. Lady Monte/., comes a piece of
hard luck in the loss of an entire litter out of Endcliffe

We have a grand looking and well bred Bull Terrier
at a bargain lor a quick and ready purchaser.

"True Blue" it was generally announced would be
issued during the April dog show in this city This
in response to inquiry from Victoria and Seattle. The
address given in an "ad" in the catalogue of the Sac-
ramento show, was "True Blue, San Francisco, Califor-
nia " We have heard nothing further. No, it is not
known whether the new publication has "turned blue
or not.

Champion Juanita left here on a train last Satur-
day bound for Montebello Kennels, Germantown, Pa,,
where she will be bred to Montebello Caesar Mr.
CunniDgham is sanguine of getting a litter of high
class Great Danes. Juanita is one of the best we have
had here. Csesaris a harlequin and will only be mated
to produce color and type. We trust the "nick will
be a good one.

We have received several letters from out of town
exhibitors and winners at the April show, who claim
they have not yet been given their coin prizes or
medals, nor have some who wrote concerning their
wins had any answer to their communications. We
were under the impression that the prizes and medals
were promptly awarded at the close of the show and
during the days closely following.
• Several local winners state also they have not yet
received their cups. The manager of the recent show
can be found at 624 Market street, this city, he is
possibly in a position to give full information to all
concerned. .

Much dissatisfaction was created by the awards in
Bostons at the April show here. The reasons for cer-
tain decisions were asked, they were explained, and
much information furnished the exhibitors in regard
to the points of Bostons. This additional voluntary
information was either so frivolous or voluntarily dis-
torted, possiblv for a purpose, that the fanciers inter-
ested immediately took steps to get the proper
advices from some of the leading gentlemen experts,
breeders and exhibitors in the country. The expose
is a sweeping and unanswerable one and will next
week furnish interesting reading. The material for
the story having been received too late for elaboration
this week.

Champion Ivel Rustic it seems is billeted for an
Eastern trip. He will be placed in charge of George
S. Thomas. Possibly "Billy" may eventually find
congenial quarters at Dreamwold. Apropos of Billy's
departure reminds us of a story going the rounds, in
which Billy was the principal actor in a rather sensa-
tional mishap that at one time was thought would end
the old dog's career. Billy and his mate had the run
of a long verandah roof which extended around two
sides of the building where his master resided. The
dogs enjoyed the airy and sunny promenade and were
quite a picturesque looking sight as one or both of
them would be taking an airing or 9iesta daily. One
day, however, Billy got too near the edge and over be
went, a drop of about fifteen feet. When he was
picked up, so the story goes, it was thought he was
very near to makiDg his last gasp. Careful nursiog
and prompt treatment brought him around again in
time He has since shown now and then by a lameness
and wobbling gait that his escape from permanent
injury was a close one. Mr. Greenebaum's Lady Bethel
was served by Ivel Rustic before he purchased her.

The California State Kennel Club, through its attor-
ney, Charles T. [Inches, has p -esentcd a claim against
the Sacramento Street Fair Club for $750, alleged
damages incurred by the bench show, one of the fea-
tures of the recent street fair in the capital city. A
financial statement by Secretary M. Coffey shows that
the 9how was not a paying one. The net gate receipts
were $244,811: entrance money on dogs, $260; advertis-
ing in cat-Uno-no, $200; totai, $704.80. The expenses
aggregated $1000.

During the progress of the street fair an iron cage
or large cell was located adjoining the bench show. A
large, wide platform, upon which was located several
Individuals, one of whom posed as a backwoods justice
of the peace, was in front of the jail. This institution
was run in the interest of a fraternal order and for
revenue only. Mock policemen seized any one of the
audience or individuals from the throng of pleasure
seekerB and rushed them to the " Eagle's Jail. ". There
was a quick trial, oonviotion and a fine imposed by
the J. P. In most oases the amounts squeezed out of
their victims were trivial. In theoaseof oertain State
officials and prominent oitizens they had to comedown
handsomely. The fear of arrest and "squeezing, " it
is claimed by the bench show officers, kept many peo-
ple who were anxious to see the dog show away from
that vicinity. Whether the claim will stand or not, it
has been presented and will be advocated seriously.
Personally we believe the dog show was materially set
back by the buffoonery in the next show.

monthly winner drops out of the race, the winners
will contest in a final race for permanent individual
possession of the trophy. Armand De Courtieux
recently joined the club, shooting with the members
for the first time last Sunday.

At the Capital City Gun Club shoot in Sacramento
last Sunday Vetter and Adams were the only winners
of bars. ' Vetter broke twenty-four straight, then
missed his last bird, which gave him a silver medal in
the champion class.

Adams with twenty-two breaks took a silver medal
for the second class.

Besides the events below there were quite a number
of team shoots, during which Newbert succeeded in
making a run of forty-one breaks.

Holling from. Dixon was in attendance, as was also
Englehart from Winters, both of them doing some
good shooting, Holling breaking forty-six out of fifty.
The shooting was on the Kimball & Upson grounds.
Following are the scores:

ler 16, Just 21, Stevens 16. Englehart 19, Vetter 24,

The Golden Gate Gun Club had but an attendance
of eight members at the regular monthly shoot at
Ingleside last Sunday. This was an unusual showing
of lack of interest. A number of members were out
town, among them Major Hosmer, the president,
whose adventurous experience and mishaps is detailed
elsewhere Whatever the cause, it seems that there
is a growing indifference to the sport on the part of a
number who are in a position to foster and encourage
it.

The shoot Sunday was made agreeable by reason of
the excellent number of birds supplied. There was
not a bird refused by a shooter during the day, nor
was there a single sitter trapped. The strong west
wind blowing across the row of traps gave many bird s an
impetus of flight that put them outside of the center of
the shot patterns easily, or brought the pigeon down
crippled and made a safe second necessary. In the
club race at fifteen birds Otto Feudner and C. C.
Nauman shot straight scores. Feudner lost a bird
dead out, but killed clean on a back score. The club
added purse, $20, was won by Nauman (50% of it) and
the balance divided by Feudner, Murdock and
"Slade." After the club race six-bird pools were on
the card. Three of these events were shot. The
scores made during the dav follow:

AT THE TRAPS.

The California Wing Club live bird shoot is the only
scheduled local event at the traps for to-morrow.

The College City Gun Club of Berkeley will hold
their initial trap shoot to-morrow on the county road,
North Berkeley. The officers of the club are: C. C.
Juster, President; G. H. Chiok, Secretary-Treasurer;
E. Kerrison, Manager; R. C. Reed, Captain.

Among the events listed for the day will be a mer-
chandise shoot. In this race the shooters will he
divided into three olasses — first, second and novice.
The handicap in distance will be similar to that fol-
lowed in the big Clabrough-Goloher shoot on the 18th
ln6t. The meeting promises to bring out a large atten-
dance. The club ha9 a membership of twenty-five,
and will probably increase this number to forty within
a week or two.

The grounds are fitted up with a cosy lit.le club
house, the five traps are arranged on the edge of a
small plateau, the targets are thrown against a sky
background. The location seems to be a very appro-
priate one and is sheltered from the winds.

The Millwood Gun Club shoot last Sunday did not
have the usual attendance of shooters on the grounds
at Manzanita station. George Collins was the winner

(of the John K. Orr cup for May. E. Newlands, Jr.,
won the cup for April. William Arnold was the win-
ner of the monthly badge, the second time he has won
in that event. W. H. Price has three wins of the
monthly badge to his credit. In the cup race, each

A Salmon Fishing Adventure in Monterey Bay.

The salmon fishiogin Monterey bay is excellent now,
the big fish have made their appearance plentifully.
While in the enjoyment of this sport last Sunday
Harry B. Hosoner met with an adventure that for the
time being placed bim and his boatman in a position
facing death by drowning.

Mr. Hosmer left the city on Saturday for Monterey;
he stopped off at Pacific Grovestaying there all night.
Arriving in Monterey the next morning he found
much difficulty in getting a boat. Finally he secured
the services of "Mike" Noon, a long time resident of
the picturesque old California town. Noon has the
reputation of being one of the most expert boatmen
and salmon fishers in Monterey. He agreed to get a
boat and take Hosmer out fishing after he had taken
his morning meal. In due time the two put out from
the beach. The boat was a fourteen foot skiff, and
sailed with a sprit-sail. Surely sailing out on the
heaving billows of Monterey bay in such a frail craft
would not have been ventured save by an angling
enthusiast.

In three hours trolling, however, six fish were
caught, some with sardine baits and the others with a
No. 6 Wilson spoon. About this time the voyagers
were seven miles away from Monterey and two miles
outside o: the lighthouse — sailing at sea on the broad
expanse of the Pacific ocean. Weather indications
were having a tendency to lead the anglers to believe
that a return to Monterey would bo the proper thing.
Hosmer suggested going about and sailing for port,
the boatman assented; just then Hosmer got a strike
and hooked a fish that commenced to fight. The
Boatman jibed the skiff to sail back, the sheet was
tied fast; the result of such carelessness was that the
cockleshell of a boat capsized and the two men were
floundering in the water, each having a grip on the sub-
merged boat. The boatman got rattled and climbed
on top of the overturned skiff; she at once commenced
to sink. When the boat came up again, which she
did in a few seconds, Hosmer, who was cool (he had
hold of his rod with the fish still oo all this time),
despite the proximity of Davy Jones' locker, directed
affairs — telling his companion that they could keep
afloat for a couple of hours anyway and would surely
be picked up by that time. That he was a true prophet
was proven by the appearance of a fishing boat, the
occupants of which had noticed the mishap and were
hastening to the rescue.

Noon was taken out of the water; the boat had been
righted although gunw; les under; everything in the
boat bad been spilled out. Hosmer had a grip on the
bow of the skiff. A rope was thrown to him from the
rescuing boat. The Italian was so excited that be
had thrown a rope that was not made fast in the boat.
Hosmer noticed this before letting go his precarious
hold on the swamped boat. Just then the skiff over-
turned again. Hosmer was struck on the head by the
mast and was entangled under the sail. It was then
he let go his rod, on which he had maintained a tight
grip all the time. After struggling to extricate him-
self from under the sail, he found when he came to the
surface that he had two turns of the painter around
his neck. By this time the other boat was again close
enough and Hosmer was hauled aboard by the fisher-
men, who themselves, hardy and venturesome tollers
of the deep, had, during the brief time of helping the
distressed men, done their timely work with blanched
faces.

Hosmer upset the gravity of his rescuers by a jocu-
lar remark the moment he was seated on the thwart
of the saving boat. Spying his pocket flask floating
among some dunnage from the wrecked skiff, he
pointed to the Bbining object and told them to com-
plete their good work and save a friend of hie, which
they did, and a friend to the wet men it proved.

The fishing boat, with the water-logged skiff in tow,
then made her course for Monterey. A transfer was
shortly after made to a gas launch, the sportsmen
aboard willingly lending their aid to unfortunate
brother anglers. Hosmer lost two fine rods and reels
and all of his tackle. One of the fish that he had taken
weighed over twenty pounds; his 6cales could not
register more than that number of poundB. The trip
back took two hours; the two wet men were thoroughly
chilled and exhausted when they were landed.

The call was a close one and Hosmer and his unfor-
tunate companion are to be congratulated upon their
escape so opportunely.

Fish Lines.

Striped bass fishing in the vicinity of Sheep Island
was fair this week. In this water the spoon has been
useless, clam bait being the only effective lure. J. A.
Parriser, C. B. Hollywood, E. A. Cunningham, Chris
Johnson and F. W. King caught nine fish near the
island on Sunday, the largest-weighed eleven pounds.

To-morrow the close season on striped bass for one
month will corrmence.

Trout fishing in the Big Sulphur, near the Geysers,
is excellent just now. The fish are generally nice
sized ones and take the fly greedily. One enthusiastic
angler, Mrs. Bert Wyman, sent down an order for
nine dozen assorted flies, which Frank Marcus was
commissioned to select. The average catch, daily, at
the point mentioned, has been forty and fifty fine fish.
It seems as if this pleasant outing location has been
overlooked.

©he gSreefcet? tuttr gtptnrtemtm

Id view of the present extremely Iiigh
prices for nearly all stock food, nearly
every farmer and stock breeder feels a
strong desire to find some good substitute
for grainor some article of foo 1 which will
fatten cattle without costing nearly as
much as the marketable meat. The land
is full of such substitutes, or at least of
those which profess to do more than
natural foods at less cost The New Jersey
Experimental Station nas been uiakinn
some exhaustive examinations of tl e
different, cattle foods on the market, and
in the bulletin recently issued, giving a
summary of the result, there is a note of
warning'that should be heeded. It is im-
possible for manufacturers or any other
people to find substitutes for grain, com
meal and hav, which nature produces so
abundantly, 'that will give anything like
the same results in feeding. The so-called
substitutes may be clever combinations
of the natural foods mixed with many so-
called waste pruducts of mills and facto-
ries but it is more than doubtful if they
are of any special value to the farmers.
At any rate, many are frauds when the
prices askid for them are considered, and
no farmer should use them until he knows
pretty nearly what they contain. Then
he is very apt to go into the market and
do his own buying and mixing.

The bulletin is asensibleoneand should
be penrsed carefully by those who have
beerr misled into believing they can save
money in buying substitutes for good,
natural, animal foods. Most of the sub-
stitute foods are composed of cottonseed
meal, gluten meal, linseed meal, malt
Bprouts, tirewers' grains, wheat, bran and
corn in some of its many fo ms. These
likewise constitute the foods which the
farmer feeds to his stock, and lie cannot
purchase them any cheaper in the form of
food mixtures. It is true that by making
a mixture in which the cheapest foods
predominate he can get a ration that will

**

be cheaper than any of the highest priced
single foods. But will he gain anything
thereby? Will not the difference be
shown in the lack of gain in the animalB?

^IRED BY SIDNEY 2:19^, sire of 17 in the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, 3 better than 2:10. and Lenna
^ N. 2:05^ (champion record), and 96 in the charmed circle. Hattie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares. Com. Belmont 4340, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2;i?v
Barona. his second dam, is by Woodford's Mambrino 2:21 'j. and his third dam. Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25. sire of Lula 2:15: fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at: he
has s'ze and conformation to make him what he is— a ktne: among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S Maben writes me as follows:

"I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 29th. a half in 1:16, first quarter In 0:40' i, last
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than
any colt I ever saw and dolt easier. . Walter S. Maben."

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing Is sure, it" Is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep htm down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top. and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,

p JOTTINGS.

Tnere is considerable talk about the sale of Uncle
Jesse D. Carr's horses, which is to be held on the 2fith
of this month at the old stamping ground., corner of
Market street and Van Xess avenue, where so many
h:gh class horses have passed under the hammer in
the past. Fred H. Chase 6c Co. have made a ten Btrike
in securing this sale and there should be lively biddiog
when the horses are led out. Mr. Carr has always
bred to good stallions and as he started with good
mares, he has some first class stock to show. He has
never had much training done, as his time has been
too much occupied with other things, but he has bred
some fast ones for all that. Years ago he bought the
stallion Mambrino 1789, a son of the renowned Mam.
brino Patchen 58. This horse was bred by Dr. Herr
and after Mr. Carr purchased him began to figure in
the pedigrees of fast ones. He died years ago, but his
name is prominent in the Year Book as the sire of
Lady Ellen 2:29! and Maud H. 2:21. His daughters
produced Helena 2:11! and eight more in 2:30. and his
blood is considered a good thing in a trotter to make
him stay the route. Mr. Carr bred his famous old
mare Gabilan Maid by this horse to Electioneer and
got Nina B. Her sister, Lady Ellen, he sold to
Governor Stanford and she has produced four in the
list. Nina B. Mr. Carr bred to Boodle 2:12;! and got
Boodle Jr., a very handsome stallion that he has been
using in the stud in the last few years with splendid
results, his colts being a very uniform and handsome
lot, as anyone can see by attending the sale. Mr. Carr's
mares have been bred to other stallions besides Boodle
Jr., and the catalogue will show that McKinnei- 2:11],
Nutwood Wilkes 2:16.1, Hambletonian Wilkes and
other great producers have been patronized by the
Gabilan Stock Farm. This mingling of the Mambrino
Patchen, Williamson's Belmont and "Electioneer blood
with the best of the younger generations cannot help
but produce good resultB, and buyers who attend this
sale will stand the best kind of a chance to get mares
that will produce speed and colts that can show it as
soon as worked. There are some very handsome two
and three year olds to be sold and horsemen should
not miss the opportunity to get them.

If anyone who takes an interest in horse breeding
will keep his eyes open when visiting the training
tracks this year, he will find that for uniform good
looks the produce of Nutwood Wilkes 2:16! are right
up in the front ranks of standard bred horses. I don't
know as I ever saw a homely one sired by this great
stallion. One Sunday, a week or two ago, while at
the Aiameda track watching a workout by a couple of
trotting mares that will be raced this year, I .-aw a
stranger go by driving a very handsome and up-headed
gelding that was pacing close to a 2:20 clip. The
driver left the track before I could get an interview
with him, but one of the "regulars" told me the pacer
was by Nutwood Wilkes out of an Anteeo mare and
was "a good one." This Anteeo mare was sold by
Martin Carter four or five years ago to T. W. Barstow,
of San Jose, and had this colt by her side at the time.
Mr. Barstow sold the colt to Dr. Bull, of Alameda,
who drove him on the road a-'d in turn sold him to
Mr. Lomax, a blacksmith of Alameda. The Doctor,
who formerly owned Much Better 2:07], did not con-
sider the Nutwood Wilkes colt a Star Pointer and Mr.
Lomax got him at a bargain. He shod him to suit his
own ideas, began driving him on the Alameda track
and before anybody realized that the horse was a pros-
pect began showing speed that looked like race horse
quality.. The horsemen in Alameda say that Mr.
Lomax could give his hor6e a record of 2:20 or better
right now and that 2:15 is not too fast a mark to pre-
dict for him if he is trained and raced. That he is a
handsome and smooth gaited fellow everyone admits
that has seen him.

Cyrus Lukens, who writes most entertainingly on
trotting horse affairs, gets his figures and facts in the
wrong place sometimes. Not long since he printed a
list to show that first foals were the best, but the
editor of the Chicago Horsi Review dug up a lot of
statistics in regard to the matter that made the
Lukens' theory look like the proverbial thirty cents.
In the last issue of TrotU . Mr. Lukens says:

"For so small a mare as Beautiful Bells, as she cannot
be more than 14 3 she has bred well tc Electioneer. ' '
How he ever got the idea into his head that Beautiful
Bells was under fifteen hands I cannot conceive, but I
do know that he is about three inches out of the way
in nis guess at the height of the greatest of all brood-
I saw Beautiful Bells in a paddock at Palo
i\io less than two months ago and unless she has

irunk since she is fully up to the 15.2 as her height
:, given in the Palo Alto catalogue. She is not a

small mare, but one of average size, and there is
nothing strange about her breeding well to Election-
eer. In this connection I will say that her last foal,
Monbells by Mendocino, is one of the grandest looking
young stallions ever bred on the farm. He is 15.1s
hands high, handsome and good gaited, and his mark
of 2:2:i}, given him simply to show that he has speed
and to give the old mare another performer, could be
beaten by him at least five seconds under favorable
circumstances. While Chimes is a wonderful sire and
a great horse, I am very much inclined to agree with
Superintendent Covey when he says that Monbells,
the last of the foals of Beautiful Bells, is not only her
last but her best.

Answers to Correspondents.

M. W.. Hanford — Please give breeding of the
black mare Moano by imp. Idalium, dam Chartreuse.
Are there two mares by that name?

Moano is by imp. Idalium, full brother to Sir Mod red
and Cheviot. Her dam is Chartreuse by Emperor,
second dam Wauculla by imp. Hurrah, third dam Sur-
prise by Ring-gold, fourth dam Daylight by imp. Glen-
coe. fifth dam Darkness by Wagner. Moano is five
years old, having been foaled in 1897. There are two
mares registered under the name of Chartreuse. The
other is by imp. Charaxus out of Eolee by Eolus.
Moano was owned by Barney Schreiber and ran in his
name as a two year old, but she was bred by Mr. A. B.
Spreckels, we believe.

F. M. D., Yallejo — What is the breeding of the gray
mare Rosette by Alcona Clay 2750, and how is that
stallion bred?

Rosette is by Alcona Clay, dam Rose by General
Taylor, second dam Ruth Ryan by Lodi, third dam
Eva Bulwer by Buliver, fourth dam Emma Taylor by
imported Glencoe. Ruth Ryan was the dam of Strath-
earn, sire of Plunket 2:13]. Alcona Clay 2756 is by
Alcona 730, dam Madonna (dam of Madonna Russell
2:25!. Al.-ona Jr. 2:24 and Del Rev 2:241) by Cassius M.
Clay Jr. 22, third dam by Joe Downing. Alcona 730
was by Almont 33, dam Queen Mary by Mambrino

Chief 11.

A Great Stallion for Australia.

Calaveras Fair.

Sax Andreas, May 26.— At a special meeting of the
Agricultural Association ot Calaveras held here to day
it was decided to hold the fair and have five days'
racing, beginning September 30th, and closing Oc-
tober 4th. The Stockton Fair finishes its racing pro-
gram September 27th, and this gives horsemen ample
time to reach San Andreas, as this place is on the
circuit. From here they go to Sonora and Modesto.

Mr. Dugald Taylor, superintendent of Truganina
Stock Farm, Melbourne, Australia, is here on a visit -
in the interests of Mr. John Robertson, proprietor of
the farm and one of the leading trottiDg horsemen in
Australia. Mr. Taylor has been visiting the leading
stock farms in search of a first class stallion and was
delighted with those he saw, but there was one horse
that he determined to buy and after seeing him trot
an eighth in fifteen seconds he looked no further. The
horse is known to fame as Owyhee and earned a record
of 2:11 on the Eastern circuit a few years ago and
won over $10,000 in purses, although never having
been started in a stake.

The colts and fillies by this horse at the Oakwood
Park Stock Farm are as fine as any foaled at that
celebrated nursery or speed, and while it was with re-
luctance that Mr. Taylor's offer was accepted, Mr.
Boyd has this consolation: he has a full brother to the
horse, and in far-away Australia Owyhee will doubtless
lead all other trotters and sires. Owyhee is one of the
finest types of a trotting horse in California, if not in
the United States. He resembles the Mambrino
Patchen family in conformation: in action he is a line
trotter, and one of the boldest going, gamest and
most intelligent ever driven. His breeding is as fol-
lows: Sired by Chas. Derby 2:20 sire of Much Better
2:07,. Derby Princess 2:08J, Diablo 2:09J, Owyhee 2:11,
Cibolo 2:131, Little Better 2:11] and fourteen others in
2:30 list): dam Ida Wood, dam of Babe Marion 2:17!
by Simmons 2:28, one of the best and greatest sons of
Geo. Wilkes 2:22. The second dam was Ida W. by
Mambrino Patchen, the king of broodmare sires; and
the third dam thoroughbred.

Owyhee, in his last campaign through the Grand
Circuit which was in 1899, made a wonderful showing
in the hands of the lamented Tom Keating. Out of
nine starts he won seven first moneys, was once second
and once third, and in three races he met and defeated
a majority of the best trotters in his class in America.
The following year he was retired to the stud and the
young colts and fillies by him are grand lookers.

The price paid by Mr. Taylor for this stallion was
$5000 and he is well worth every dollar of the money,
as he will be a show ring winner in Australia as well
as a race winner as it is the intention to enter him for
premiums on the track and in the show ring.

Mr. Taylor has also purchased thiough W. G. Layng
the handsome four year old mare Zehambra. owned
by Messrs. Bennett and Goodall. She is a daughter
of Chas. Derby 2:20 and Peronella by Prince Red:
second dam Caroline by Yosemite; third dam Phaccola
(grandam of Lena Holly 2:17J) by Silverthreads;
fourth dam Minnehaha (dam of Beautiful Bells 2:29,
etc.) by Stephen's Bald Chief; fifth dam Nettie Clay
I Clay, Jr., 22: sixth dam by AbdaUah 1; sev-
enth dam by Engineer II. Few better bred or hand-
somer individuals ever left California than these.
They will leave for Australia on Spreckels Bros.'
steamship next Thursday.

Still Further Improvements.

There is to be no halt in the march of improvements
at the Brighton Beach course. In addition to the
club house, now about completed, the new paddock
and new field stand and other improvements^ Presi-
dent Engeman has decided that the steeplechase'course
needs tuning up. He has instructed track Superin-
tendent Clare to proceed with the work at once.- The
course will receive a coat of top-dressing and will be
resodded. New jumps will be built and everything
that is possible will be done to make the course more
attractive to the owners of cross-couotry horse's and
those who admire racing between the flags. President
Engeman's action in planning these improvements is a
recognition of the wondrous change which has been
wrought in this branch of the sport by Messrs. How-
land, Follansbee, Hitchcock, Alexandre and their fel-
low members active in the affairs of the Steeplechase
and Hunt Association. There was a time when cross-
country racing was viewed with suspicion, but that
time has passed. Betters now wager on jumping races
with as much confidence as they would bet on a fiat
race, and it has come to pass that no holiday program
is complete without a race through the field or over
the sticks. A hurdle race or a steeplechase is an event
extraordinary to the holiday visitors, and while doing
everything possible for the horsemen and the regular
patrons of the sport, Brighton also proposes to cater
to the holiday element and thus win new supporters
for the turf.

Levinia H. Doble, widow of the late William H.
Doble, famous old-time trotting horse driver and

Doble, died at Trenton, N. J., on May 19th. in the
eighty-second year of her age.

The first two are full sisters to Chehalis 2:04}, while
Lady Alfred will be remembered as the winner of the
2:15 trot at the Oregon State Fair last fall.

Daniel Mahany, superintendent of Hon. Frank
lones' Maplewood Farm, Portsmouth, N. H., has
taken Eleata 2:08}, Idolita 2:12, and ten other horses
to Granite State Park, Dover, N. H., where they will
be trained by Hiram Tozier. It is said that Ben
Walker will be the farm's race driver this season.

An automobile in tow of a buggy was a novelty
noticed in town Sunday. The machine was from San
Francisco and became disabled near Menlo Park. A
young man and his best girl, out this way for a buggy
ride, are richer by several dollars for consenting to
towing the disabled machine back to the city. — San
Mateo Leader.

Col. Kirkpatrick has rpceived word that his fast
pacer, Clipper 2:06, is working nicely at Indianapolis
and eats better than he ever did in California. When
in training here he was usually a very dainty feeder
and began losing flesh as soon as the racing season
opened, but he has a good appetite now and eats
everything placed before him.

Alderman Dudley S. Valentine, of New York City,
purchased on the 28th of last month the pacing geld-
ing. Coney 2:02 by McKinney 2:11), and paid the sum

son, proprietor of Dreamwold Farm, and is a member
of Mr. Lawson's racing string now in training at
Dover, N. H. He is a horse possessed of a wonderful
turn of speed. He made his record when three years
old, and in a work-out stepped a half in 1:04!. Last
year he was troubled with sore feet and did not race.

Millard Sanders opened out Dolly Dillon 2:07 at
Cleveland last Friday for the first time since arriving
from California and the flying daughter of Sidney
Dillon trotted the last quarter of a 2:1* mile
seconds, the last eighth in 15 second.

W. L. Snow has removed his horses from Hornells-
ville, N. Y., to the State Fair track at Syracuse, where
he will finish their preparation for the season's cam-
paign. In addition to the Dacers Hal B. 2:04'.. Charley
Hayt 2:06}, Fanny Dillard 2:00} and Council Chime's
2:071, he has the trotters Red Princess 2:12}, Eula Mac
2:17} and several others, including the fast green mare,
Julia M. by Zombro 2:11, that was recently purchased
at the Cleveland sale by A. H. Miller, of Buffalo.

Trainer James Gatcomb now owns the whole of tho
noted pacer Audubon Boy 2:06. Gatcomb owned a
third of the horse, the other two-thirds being owned
by James Hanley, of Providence. Mr. Hanley wished
to own the whole of him or else dispose of his interest
and wrote to Mr. Gatcomb and stated the amount
which he would give or take. The latter elected to
buy and sent Mr. Hanley a check for the amount.
The sale was made on the basis of a $10,000 valuation,
the same amount which they paid for him last season.

Abdine and Wayboy, two California bred pacers
now owned at Honolulu, were worked out together at
the track there two weeks ago and finished noses apart
in 2:20. The annual race meeting, held on June 11th
each year, promises to be the most successful ever held
there.

An Eastern paper makes the statement that it costs
$300 to ship a horse to Cleveland. This is a gross
error. It costs less than one-third that sum per head
where a carload is shipped. Of course, if a horse has
a palace car to himself his owner must pay for the
luxury.

Up to the time of his departure from Memphis for
Cleveland, The Abbot bad not worked a mile better
than 2:10. This horse is said to be in superb condi-
tion, and from all that can be learned it is quite likely
that Geers believes him capable of at least equaling
his record.

There are few three year olds in training this year
in California that will be raced outside their stake en-
gagements. The three year old purses offered by the
Breeders Association failed to fill. Owners are not
racing two and three year olds any more except in
stake engagements.

C. D. Jeffries, as agent, has bought from Thos. S.
Griffith, of Spokane, the pacing gelding J. P. Adams,
trial 2:12; the trotting mare Gaysone, trial 2:18; the
trotting gelding McKinley Jr. 2:21, and the Zombro-
Altamont stallion Gyr Falcon, that is showing miles
in 2:40 with a few weeks' work.

Boodle Jr., a grandly bred young stallion owned by
Hon. Jesse D. Carr of Salinas, is one of the most
promising young sires in California. His colts are
very uniform in looks and size, being strongly built
and very smoothly turned. Boodle Jr. will be brought
to San Francisco and shown during the sale of Mr.
Carr's horses, which will take place at the salesyard
corner Van Ness avenue and Market street June 26th.
Boodle Jr. is by Boodle 2:12J, dam Nina B. by
Electioneer.

Mr. G. W. Wempe, of the well known firm of Wempe
Bros,, box manufacturers, has gone to Europe for a
sojourn of several months. Mr. Wempe will be in
London during the coronation of King Edward and
will make a long stay in Germany, where he willdoubt-
less attend all the trotting meetings, as he is an enthu-
siast in that sport. He left instructions to have all
the payments kept up on the entries he has in the
Breeders Futurity and other colt stake--. May he
have a pleasant trip to the land of his birth and a safe
return.

Several trainers left Hanford for Fresno last Satur-
day with their horses, as the track at the last named
place is in fine condition for training and more suitable
for making speed over. Among those who made the
change were S. Walter with Mabel C. 2:31, pacer: S.
A. Eddy with the green pacer Dr. W. and two more
unmarked sidewheelers, Dan Leggette with the pacer
Anis Hanscomb 2:28, L. Morris with Lady M., a pacer
without a record, and J. Depoister with the trotter
Peter Jackson 2:41 and a three year old pacing colt.
These horses are all being trained for this year's races.

Mr. C. E. Truesdell writes that he is now located at
Centralia, Washington, with his stallion Native State
2:16} by Star Sultan, and has already bivd bim to ten
mares with twenty five more booked so far. The
breeding season does not begin as early in Washington
as in California and Native State will have a heavy
season in all probability, as he is a grand individual
and is much admired by the breeders of that locality.
Mr. Truesdell took with him Gift, the dam of You Bet
2:11}. She has a chestnut filly by Zolock that is
entered in the Breeders Futurity. He also has the
Palo Alto bred mare Zenoide by Piedmont.

Jimmy Dwain has charge of the Salinas track and
is keeping it in excellent sbape for training horses over
this year. Last week on workout day, Mr. Vander-
hur9t's Diablita by Diablo was worked out there with
Mr. B. V. Sargent's black filly by a son of Sidney out
of a sister to Keno 2:23}. Diablita was in front at the
wire in 2:22. Larkin W, a three year old by Boodle
Jr., was given two heats, one in 2:37 and another in
2:32. He is one of the most promising young trotters
in that section. Bruno 2:16, Mr. C. Z. Herbert's stal-
lion, has made a good season at the Salinas track, and
will now be put in training for the circuit races.
There are about twenty trotters and pacers in training
at Salinas.

A very handsome little miss with a royal lineage
made her appearance at Martin Carter's Nutwood

WZ OAKWOOD PARK STOCK FARM. 2®

Beneath the shadow of Mount Diablo, at the head of
the San Ramon Valley, where the rays of the rising
sun kiss the dewdrops as they fall from the flower-
bedecked valleys and hillsides, lies one of the most
beautiful, picturesque and best-appointed stock farms
in this or any other State in the Union, known as
Oakwood Park Stock Farm. This magnificent place
derives its name from the majestic oaks which
adorn these grounds. As they meet the gaze of the
visitor on entering the farm these mighty monarchs
of the forest, placed there by Nature's handiwork,
spread their mighty arms over a vast territory of this
large domain. Here in summer the charming ave-
nues shaded by evergreens and lined by deciduous
fruit trees, the orchards, the orange grove, the vine-
yards, the flowers and rive exotics, the beautiful
summer residence, the lake, the paddocks, stables
built of oak, ornamented by polished wood, all embel-
lished with an air of grandeur, present a scene beauti-
ful to behold.

But it is not those giant oaks, nor yet those green
fields; neither is it the sublime, surrounding grand ear
of those orchards, groves, summer residence, stables,
or aught else, that inspires this article, much as we
may admire them all. It is that to which our innate
feelings turn as we wend our way to that large pad-
dock where stands the illustrious grandson of the old
Hero of Chester, Steinway. As we look this old-time
champion over we are reminded of the many conquests
his immediate descendants have achieved. There he
stands, with head still proudly erect, yet his swayed

back, his bended knees, the waning lustre of his eve
are certain reminders of the mile stones of advancing
years. But, like the aged patriarch of old. he can
point with exultant pride to the achievements of his
immediate progeny. And well he might, for his heri-
tage is heralded the world over wherever the trotting
horse is known or recognized. His mighty son?.
Charles Derby and Klatawah, have won for their
illustrious sire an imperishable crown. Recognizing
in this old-time champion the qualifications of a great
racehorse and sire, himself a champion ia his day and
class, we do not marvel at his siring champions. His
son, W. Wood, was champion in his day, gaininga four-
year-old record of 2:07. And what of the great Klata-
wah, the holder of the world's three-year old record,
2:05J, a record, in our opinion, that will remain unbeaten
for years to come. His daughter Cricket was the first
mare to enter the 2:10 pacing class. Agitato gained
another world's record of 2:09} as a three-year old.

As we enumerate some of the notable descendants of
this great sire, with pride we mention his celebrated
son, Charles Derby. This distinguished son of the
great Steinway, himself a great racehorse, with his
very limited opportunities, has proven himself one of
the greatest sires of thn age. Amoog his produce are
Much Better 2:07}, Diablo 2:091, Derby Princess 2:08 ..
Cibolo 2:13A. Flare Up 2:14, Ed Lfffferty 2:16*, Owyhee
2:11. and a host of others equal if not their superiors
in speed and beauty.

Diablo, the great Diablo, is unquestionably Charles
Derby's greatest son and has produced Clipper 2:06,
Sir Albert S. 2:0SJ, Diodine 2:10}, DaedaUon 2:(1. Dia-
wood 2:11, Tags 2:11], and many more.

Having briefly sketched the stallions of great celeb-
rity here, we will now review some of the -jlebratcd
matrons on this great breeding farm. The lii
natron to attract attention is the beautiful mare Katie
Jr. by Electioneer. This is the dam of Chas. Derby
2:20. Klatawah 2:05] and three more in the charmed
circle, and if she produced none other but the former
two, Derby and Klatawah, she is entitled to entree in

the foremost ranks of the greatest matrons of the
American trotting tu"f.

The next to command admiration is the great Bertha.
This magnificent individual is by Alcantara, the great
son of the mighty Geo. Wilkes. This mare came into
prominence in her younger matronly days as the dam
of Diablo, four year old, 2:09]; her n*»xt produce being
Elf 2:121. Ed Lafferty 2:16J, J. F. B., yearling record
2:20]; this latter colt we had seen pace a quarter as a
yearling in 314 seconds and we then predicted for him
a record breaking future and advised his retirement
until of mature age, but unfortunately our advice was
not heeded — he was slaughtered in his infancy. Kawoo-
kum, Demonio, Bertha Derby, Don Derby 2:13] and
about four others, all gems of the brightest order,
must inevitably place this grand matron in the cate-
gory of celebrated dams, and when the temple of fame
is erected in memoriam of producing dams, let the
name of Bertha be inscribed thereon. Tone by Fergu-
son is another mare who is entitled to more than pass-
ing notice as the dam of Agitato, three year old, 2:01)1,
a world's record when made. Flash by Egmont, dam
of Javelin 2:08}, Flare Up 2:14 and several others of fine
quality. Algerdetta by Allendorf is another matron
of queenly stature and the dam of several in the list.
Addie Ash, dam of Cibolo 2:13A at four years: Mia
Louise 2:15} and many others. May by Anteeo is a
beautiful specimen of matronly appearance. This
mare is the dam of Babiola, of whom great things are
expected this season. She is being trained and has
already shown extraordinary speed and is looked upon
as one capable of entering the select circle before the
season closes this year. The great Electioneer is also
represented here by his daughter Lunado, the dam of
Sylvan way j three year old record 2:10-1, and is also the
dam of Darkway, recently sold to Eastern parties for
the sum of three thousand dollars. It is expected of
him to earn fame on the Grand Circuit, where he is
destined to shine, as he had shown two minute speed for
his purchaser. Clytie 2d, dam of Neernut 2:121. who
sired Neeretta 2:0i:)J. that was subsequently exported
to Europe. Bella 2d, dam of Dr. Hammond, trial of
2:07; Maggie McGregor by Robert McGregor, who
earned the title of monarch of the homestretch, and
who stands to-day as sire of the champion of all
champions, the great Cresceus. Of Maggie Mc-
Gregor we would be recreant to our convictions
if we did not place her, too, amongst the greatest
speed producing dams of the present age. \Y. W.
Foote earned a two year old record of 2:15, and her ill-
fated and unlucky son Algregor 2:11, had fortune been
more kindly disposed toward him, we have no hesi-
tancy in stating, would have ranked in the foremost
class of the pacing celebrities of the present day.

Space here forbids the details of the hundred highly
bred and celebrated matrons owned on this great
farm; of their produce we can but give merely pass-
ing notice. Their produce is in almost every State
and Territory in the Union; their fame is scattered
even in European countries, even to far-off Australia —
and pity it is that more of the product of this great
establishment had not fallen into the hands of those
whose pride and pleasure it is to develop speed, for
had it been so, Oakwood Park Farm would have been
as celebrated to-day as a speed producing establish-
ment as any farm on the American continent.

The magnificent farm was founded about twenty-
five years ago by the late Dan Cook, whose pleasure
and ambition it was to make this place famous as a
horse paradise, and how well he succeeded is re-
lated above, but the fates were againsc him. In
the zenith of his greatness he was gathered to his
fathers. He was later succeeded by bis brother, the
late Seth Cook. This enterprising gentleman had
entered upon the career mapped out by his deceased
brother, but again after a few years of devotion to his
deceased brother's ideal he too was summoned and
had answered death's call. Yet while these enterpris-
ing g3ntlemen lived it was their pleasure to establish
on this magnificent ."arm the foundation of one of the
greatest breeding establishments on the American
continent, and how well they succeeded is a living
monument to their superior judgment, first by procur-
ing the choicest blood lines of the American trotting
stock, and by transplanting here the foundation was
thus laid which gives to Oakwood Park Stock Farm
an undying name, and right here we will Gamble that
to the keen perception and unerring judgment of the
only Sam the great success of this breeding establish-
ment is immeasurably due.

After the death of the brothers, Dan and Seth Cook,
t his property came into the hands of its present owner,
J. b\ Boyd. Esq. This gentleman, though entirely
unknown to the breeding industry, grasptd the situa-
tion like a veteran and with the assistance of able
counsel carried out the object for which this place had
already become famous in a mancer reflecting un-
bounded credit even on one unaccustomed to this line
of business. Under his ownership the place became
famous. Iu the first year of Mr. Boyd's occupying of

the place the great Diablo was usnered into promi-
nence. Then came "W. Wood, Much Better, Agitato,
Algregor, Klatawah and a host of others bringing
name and fame to this great establishment. The
achievements of the wonderful produce of this farm
was heralded the length and breadth of this great
land and large prices realized at public and private sale.
We cannot here refrain from eulogizing the master
minds that conducted the business of this great con-
cern and brought it to a successful issue. But alas,
for fate, in the zenith of his hope, while his family was
growing up into promising youthful manhood, with the
brightest hopes encircling his household, we are re-
minded of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of
death. Two of the brightest gems of his household,
with only the interval of a few months, were sum-
moned to that bourn from which no traveler returns.
With all the brightest hopes and ambitions, with all
that opportunity could affotd, beloved by all with
whom they came in contact, a rude blast had swept
them and they had fallen over an early grave. Poor
Seth and Jack, over your grave we shed a silent tear,
silent because we witnessed the heart burning grief of
your beloved parents, for right well we know from
your estimable character and the admiration in which
you were held by those who knew you best, had you
but survived the ordeal, that on your shoulders would
have rested the mantle of responsibility to perpetuate
the laudable objects for which this enterprise had been
established.

For the future of this great industry we have some
forebodings of an adverse character. Mr. Boyd,
through grief for the loss of bis beloved sons and the
pressure of other business, and not caring to accept
the weight and responsibility of conducting the affairs
of & his great farm wishes to be relieved and, we are
informed, has placed it on the market, to be sold to
the highest bidder. We have been an occasional visi-
tor to this farm for about fifteen years and we are loth
to believe that its owner can part with it. Still if it is
the decree of fate we reluctantly accept it, but had we
but the means we would own it before the setting of
to-morrow's sun. This beautiful place contains about
six thousand acres of beautiful mountain and valley
land highly adapted for pasture and farming purpusef,
and still better for the purpose for which it had been
adapted — its beautiful barns, paddocks, race track for
training purposes and all the concommitants necessary
to make it that which it is — beautiful Oakwood Park
Stock Farm. C.

Valuable Roadster Injured.

Dr. E J. Weldon has had his valuable road mare
Elevator so badly injured ina runaway yesterday noon,
that it is doubtful if she will e\er be available for
speeding purposes again. In fact, there is no assur-
ance that her life will be saved, although Dr. Mc-
Gowan, the veterinarian, who has the mare in charge,
believes that be can save her life.

The accident occurred in the vicinity of Eighteenth
and G streets. Fran's: Farley had Elevator out for
exercise, and she got the best of him and ran away.
Farley was thrown out and so badly bruised that he
was taken to the Receiving Hospital. The mare fell
and ran one of the shafts of the vehicle to which she
was attached into her body under the forearm to a
depth of fourteen inches.

Dr. Weldon received an offer of $500 for the animal
a short timeagoand refused it. Other horsemen value
the animal at $1000. — Sacramento Record Union.

Elevator will be remembered by horsemen as the
mare by Don Marvin with which Dr. Weldon finished
third in the Stanford Stake at the State Fair in 1899,
in which race Direct Heir was permitted to start under
protest made by Dr. Weldon, that he was not eligible
to the race, who also protested Dr. Frasse's Sister as
she started in hopples. The case was taken before
the Board of Appeals, which decided that Elevator
was entitled to second money, the protest against
Direct Heir being sustained and that against Dr.
Frasse's Sister being overruled.

Do Ants Have Horses Too?

Not long ago a French explorer, M. Charles Meissen,
in travelling through Siam observed a species of small
gray ants which were new to him. To his surprise he
noticed among them from time to time an occasional
ant which was much larger than the others and moved
at a much swifter pace, and each of these larger ants,
M. Meissen saw, always carried" one of the gray ants
on its back. This discovery led him to watch their
movements closely. He soon saw that while the main
body of gray ants was always on foot, they were
accompanied by at least one of their own sort mounted
on one of these larger ants. He mounted and detached
himself now and then from the line, rode rapidly to
the hpad, came swiftly back to the rear, and seemed
to be in command of the expedition. — Little Chronicle.

A man who has every chance to know says that the
reason that the European market is not as good as it
was is not so much due to high prices as to the number
of gold bricks which have been sent across the water
as the real article.

Golden Gate Park Driving Club's Races.

Owing to the fact that there were many counter
attractions, and possilily to the additional fact that for
the first time for several years an admission fee was
charged the public, the Golden Gate Park Driving
Club did not have as large an attendance at its race
meeting as has been usual on Decoration Day. Hon"
ever, there were a couple of thousand people present
and the day's sport was very good, though a poor
track and a heavy wind prevented any fast time being
made. The meeting was held at the Oakland track.
There was no bookmaking, but mutuals were sold at
$2 each on the heats and an auction box provided for
speculation on the result. Not a ticket was sold in the
auction box, but at times the ticket seller was kept
very busy handing out the pasteboards at $2 each on
the heats.

Four races were on the card and all were won in
straight heats, the winners being pacers in every
instance.

In the first heat of the second race Jerry Doran
started the Nutwood Wilkes pacer Dan Alden, a road-
ster owned in Oakland, that but for the fact that he
hits his knees hard enough to be heard a hundred
yards, would be able to pace in 2:15 or better. Dan
Alden went away like a whirlwind, but under the con-
tinual knee banging became very tired and was stagger-
ing in the stretch. In trying to keep him in front
Doran allowed the horse to get in front of the fast
coming Velma, driven by H. Miller, and their sulky
wheels locked. Dan Alden was a head in the lead as
they crossed the wire locked fast and then Miller 's sulky
was overturned and he was thrown out, but not injured.
Velma galloped a half-mile and was caught by Dr.
Dalziel, the efficient Marshal of the day. The heat
was properly given to Velma and she won the race
easily in the next.

The free-for-all was a rather tiresome affair, as the
hoi'9es scored a dozen times before they got away.
The race was won by Sable Le Grande, but it was little
credit to him, and the affair left a bad impression on
the spectators. All the other races were good con-
tests with everybody trying, but this one looked bad.
Had Mr. Parks been able to control his pacer Imp,
that was badly rattled Dy the continued scoring and
ran away, he would probably have upset the combina-
tion which wa9 alleged so loudly after the race that a
fight or two took place. The summary of the day's
events follow:

The Missouri Horse Market.

What is considered to be one of the largest contracts
for horses ever entered into in the United States was
closed in South St Joseph, Mo., recently, when a firm
agreed to supply 12,000 horses to be delivered at the
rate of 500 per month for two years. Many sorts and
varieties are included in the specifications, but it is
thought that the most of the animals will find their
way into the British army service.

At the last special sale of high class horses held in
East St. Louis prices were very strong and all desirable
offerings elicited the keenest sort of competition.
Pairs sold as high as $1350, paid by C. L. Bacon, New
York. A six year old trotting roadster with around
2:30 speed sold for $700 snd a score or more commanded
from that figure down to $500. It was frequently
stated during the auction that it was very little of a
horse that could be obtained for less than $300.

At a special sale of horses held recently in Omaha
and lasting for two days the demand exceeded the
supply. Medium to best drafters offered made from
$150 to $23t; 1500 pound export chunks sold up to $160,
expressers to $175 and lighter and plainer sorts down
to $120 to $150. Toppy single drivers sold to $300 and
surrey horses to $150. In all instances Chicago prices
were paid and the sale wa9 considered the most satis-
factory ever held in Omaha.— Breeders Gazette.

The President's Family Enjoy Riding.

TheRi — family are all enthusiasts in the sport
-■ back riding. The President misses, rain or
shine, but one day a week— Sunday— to sit upon the
back of his favorite horse. Bleistein — unless Bleistein
is sick: the President nev- -lock in the

afternoon Sergeant Mark P. Wilson, of Troop K,
Eleventh Cavalry, who has been assigned as orderly
to the President, appears at the south front of the
White House, the private entrance, mounted on his
own horse and leading Bleistein. He dismounts and
walks the animals up and down until 3:50. At that
moment the President runs briskly down the steps
and jumps into the saddle.

Sometimes he trots his horse out the gate, but gen-
erally he walks past the admiring crowd and lifts his
hat with measured dignity. His orderly rides about
fifteen paces directly behind him and always carries a
loaded 44 at his side. That is the program when the
President rides alone. As he goes far out into the
suburbs and takes the loneliest roads he can find, to
get away from the turmoil of the city for a brief span,
it is well that he is attended, for if only an accident
should occur there would be otherwise no one to bring
in the tidings. But the President is often accompanied
by Mrs. Roosevelt and by friends. On such occasions
there is no attendant orderly.

While Miss Alice Roosevelt is a superb horsewoman,
aud when in New York and Oyster Bay rides consid-
erably, she has never yet ridden in Washington.
Theodore, Jr., is never seen riding in Washington.
Master Archie, however, on his little Shetland Algon-
quin, accompanied by a groom, appears about semi-
weekly. He never rides with his father because his
little mount cannot keep pace with Bleistein, and
when his father gets beyond the city limits he likes
to do a little fast riding. He is not as sensitive about
the gaze of the public as is his father.

He mounts his steed in the midst of a crowd in the
south grounds, the public side of the White House.
Nor does he mind being "snapped," while his father
has given instructions to keep all "kodakers" away
from his gate, and when he discovers one ''laying for
him" politely presents the side of his head.

A little, low brick house behind the Army and Navy
Building and opposite the Corcoran Art Gallery is —
though no one would ever take it to be — the Presi-
dent's stable. It was built in 1869, and has served
many Presidents these many years, with no improve,
ments or enlargements, and barely painting and
repairs.

VETERINARY DEPARTMENT.

CONDUCTED BY

WM. F. EGAN, M. R. C. V. O., F. E. V. M. S.

Subscribers to this paper can have advice through these columns
in all cases of sick or injured horses, cattle or dogs by sending a
plain description of the case. Applicants will send their name
and address that they may be identified.

J. B. O., Merced — I have a mare that sprained her
forward ankle about five weeks ago and she is still
lame in the aDkle now. What treatment would you
recommend'? Please answer in your veterinary depart-
ment of your valuable paper.

Answer — If the ligaments of the fetlock joint be
sprained and the fever has by this time entirely disap-
peared from the part, but the mare still lame, blister-
ing and rest would bs the treatment. In giving advice
for a lame horse without seeing and examining the
animal, there is often dissatisfaction, due to a wrong
diagnosis. I would therefore advise you to have the
mare examined and prescribed for by a qualified vet-
erinary surgeon, if there be any located near you. If
not, by your describing the appearance of the part,
the condition of the lameness in walking, trotting,
turning, backing, etc., the age of the mare, the way
in which the lameness started, whether suddenly or
gradually, and anything else that may assist in diag-
nosing the case I shall give you further advice on the
subject.

J. J. M.. Visalia— Will you please give me a remedy
in your veterinary department for horses rubbing
their tails. I have several horses in a clean stable
that are well cared for that have taken to rubbing and
in one case all of the hair is gone at root of tail.
Have tried all known remedies without success.

Answer — Rubbing the tail may be due to rectal
worms, irritation of the skin of the tail or quarters
nervousness in a horse that is not worked regularly
habit acquired from being kept in a small box stall,
etc. Try and find out the cause and if possible remedy
it. In any of these casesit is well to prevent the horse
from further irritating those parts by putting him in
a single stall with a scantling hanging horizontally on
each side of him, about the height of his stifle, so that
he cannot touch any part of the stall with his tail.
Thoroughly wash the parts that are injured an
carbolised vaseline to them. Look for aigns
causes mentioned above and report.

VALLEJO'S ENTRIES will close June 16th, one
week from next Monday. Enter at Vallejo. It
will be the best meeting ever held at the Navy Yard
town.

give one of the old time fairs, premiums having been
provided for all sorts of products and the people of
Santa Clara arid San Mateo counties are being en-
treated to make a display of the districts products
that will be a credit to it and them. The date of the
meeting is one that should suit everybody, and on the
day of the national holiday standing room will doubt-
less be at a premium at the beautiful park and race
track owned by the San Jose association. There have
been nine purses of $500 each arranged for trotters
and pacers. The association makes the announcement
that the money will be paid at the close of each race,
which is an attractive feature as well as a very pleasing
one for horsemen. Entries for these purses will close
Monday, June 16th, and we hope that every horse
owner in California will enter and assist the San Jose
association to get on its feet. It has one of the hand,
somest pieces of property in California, and one of the
best tracks ever built. A successful meeting there
will help the horse interests all along the line.

A REVIEW of the catalogue of sale of Pierce Bros.'
horses, whirh are to be disposed of at Wm. J.
Layng's Occidental Horse Exchange in this city Tues
day, June 17th, will appear in our next issue. There
will be draft horses from Yerba Buena Stock Farm,
Inferna 2:24} {chestnut stallion by Diablo 2:09}, out of
Biscari by Director 2:17), several fine broodmares and
foals, and from the Santa Rosa Stock Farm a consign-
ment of standard-bred trotters that will surpass in
breeding, looks and training any ever offered by these
enterprising gentlemen.

THE STANFORD STAKE OF 1904 will have close
to 80 entries, and the list will be published next
week. Assistant Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society Harry Lowden writes us as follows, under date
of June 5th: "The Stanford to be contested this year
is now worth $1200, with two more payments yet to be
made. For 1903 it is close to $1600 and with future
payments yet to come it will go over $2000 sure. In
1900 the total value was only $865, so you see we are
pushing the harness stakes along. The Running Stal-
lion Stake this year will, beyond a doubt, run over
$6000. Some of the best colts of the State have de-
clared to make their final payments. I look for over
20 starters, as 52 are now left in."

NAPA FILLED EIGHT PURSES out of the twelve
advertised, those in which there were sufficient
entries being the 2:10, 2:24, 2:19 and 2:15 trotting races
and the 2:15, 2:20, 2:25 and green class pacing events.
There are from eight to fourteen entries in each race,
which is a better showing than has been made for an
early meeting for years. Secretary Bell phoned us
yeBterday that the list would be mailed us in time to
publish in our next week's issue. The classes that
failed to fill were the 2:30 and 2:12 class trots and the
2:12 and free-for-all pacing events. Additional purses
will be arranged and advertised and an effort made to
provide races for the fastest classes at both gaits.
Napa has done well and will have one of the greatest
meetings ever held at the track.

I OS ANGELES announces its program of harness
*— ' races in our advertising columns to-day. There
are thirteen stakes, the smallest $600, the largest $1000.
There are two of the thousand dollar stakeB, one for
the free for-all trot, the other for the free-for-all pace.
The 2:14, 2:16, 2:19 and 2:23 class trotters are given
$700 each, the 2:13, 2:17 and 2:20 class pacers are offered
the same amounts, and there is a stake of $600 for the
three year old trotters and one of like amount for the
three year old pacers. A nomination stake of $700 is
offered the 2:30 class trotters, and also for the 2:25
class pacers. The program is a most excellent one,
and the purses aggregate very close to ten thousand
dollars, the exact figures being $9600. Few associa
tions this side the Mississippi river give as much money
for harness races as is hung up annually by Los An-
geles. The track there is one of the best in America,
■and it is about the last meeting of the year, Entries
will close July 1st for these purses and owners should
be certain that their entries are made and mailed in
time.

OAN JOSE'S fair and race meeting will be held this
>-5 year on the 3d, 4th and 5th of July. The new
'Joard of Directors of the 5th Agricultural District
.iope at this meeting to be able to get out of debt and
.he chances are that they will do so. It is proposed to

VALLEJO'S MEETING will open the main circuit
on August 12th. and entries for the fourteen
generous guaranteed stakes will close June 16th, which
is one week from next Monday. The stakes for trot-
ters are $700 for the 2:30 class, $600 for the 2:24 class
and $500 each for the 2:19, 2:15 and 2:12 classes. All
the stakes for pacers are $500 each, and the 2:25, 2:20,
2:15, 2:12 and free-for-all classes are provided for. Be-
sides these, there are stakes for colts and horses owned
in the district which make the aggregate sum hung up
for harness horses nearly $7000. This is considered big
money over East at any place not on the Grand Circuit
and California horsemen should appreciate this fact.
Vallejo has a splendid track, has one of the best cli-
mates for training horses in the State, and is known as
the best betting town on the circuit. The Navy Yard
being located there, where about two thousand men
are employed, there is always a good attendance at the
Vallejo races and all or nearly all like to speculate on
the results. The Vallejo association is making a
special effort to give a first class meetiDg this year and
the excellent program prepared should meet the ap-
proval of horse owners and result in a large entry list.
We ask every reader of the Breeder and Sportsman
to look over the Vallejo advertisementin this issue and
if a horse owner, to make entries in every class where
there is a chance to win. A good entry list for Vallejo
will encourage other associations that have not yet
arranged programs to do as well.

ALL THE STAKES FILLED that were offered by
the Pacific Coast TrottiDg Horse Breeders Asso-
ciation for its Fresno meeting, with the exception of
those for three year olds. This is a splendid showing
for the first stakes of the year and show that "money
will make the mare go." The California, a stake of
$2000 for trotters of the 2:24 class, has no less than 22
entries, which includes about all the most promising
green trotters in training here this year. The Raisin
City stake of $1000 for pacers of the 2:20 class has sev-
enteen entries, the 2:40 trot, eight, and the 2:30 pace,
twelve. This is an average of fourteen entries to each
class, which is an excellent and a most encouraging
showing. Strange as it may seem, not a single entry
was made in the three year old pace, and but four in
the three year old trot, which made it necessary to
declare both these events off. There must be at least
two hundred three year olds being worked in Califor-
nia this year, many of them of great promise, but it
is very evident that their owners do not intend racing
them this year unless it be in the stakes in which they
are already entered. But the aged horses are numer-
ous enough to make a most successful circuit. It is
true that none of the big stock farms are represented
in the entries, but this will not lessen the interest in
racing, and if the purses are won by "small breeders, "
an increased impetus will be given the business of
breeding and racing horses. From every point the
harness racing season of 1902 has a most glorious pros-
pect. Let us hope that the district associations will
get as large or still larger lists of entries to their pro-
grams and that the circuit will be a success from start
to finish and reflect credit on all those who participate
in it in any way. The horsemen have made an excel-
lent start. Let there be an effort to make as good
an ending.

Early Closing Stakes Fill Well.

Success has followed the announcement of the big
early closing stakes for the Breeders meeting at
Fresno. The California, a $2000 stake for 2:24 class
trotters, has 22 entries. The Raisin City $1000 stake
for 2:20 pacers received 17 entries. The 2:40 class trot,
$600, has 8 entries and the 2:30 pace, $600, received 12
entries. This is an average of nearly fifteen entries to
each race. The three lyear old stakes did not fill.

year. The entries to the stakes closed are as follows:

Prominent Amateur Trainers.

A short time since a writer in the New York .Sen
contributed a very readable article on amateur drivers,
which in view of the great interest beiog" taken in
speedway and matinee racing: at the present time, is
reproduced as follows:

Go where you will to-day and you will find more
interest taken in the trotter than in many years.
When he lowered the trotting record of 2:02J, and the
American, world's for that matter, race record of
2:031, last season, the majestic, incomparable king of
trotters, Cresceus, did much to restore to popularity
the trotter. There is not so great a desire now to own
a fast pacer as a few seasons, ago, and unless Mr,
Billings' Little Boy 2:01$, to wagon, cuts Snar Pointer's
1:59J this season, interest in the pacers will be con-
fined seemingly to "class'1 pacers, that is horses that
meet successfully their fellows in races down the line.
At the big auctions here and in Chicago it is to be seen
that there is more demand today for fast easily driven
trotters than in years. In a way the Cleveland mati-
nees and competitions of the past two seasons for the
$2500 Boston challenge cup have accomplished this
much-to-be desired end.

More men of wealth are becoming enthusiasts as
owners of fast record trotters, that they can them-
selves drive at speed in amateur contests and im-
promptu road brushes, than of old. No one can esti-
mate how greatly this has benefited the breeder, the
trainer, the owner, the stabler, the harness maker,
the blacksmith, the feedman and maker of speed
vehicles. Harry K. Devereux of Cleveland is the
leader. He is a prosperous young business man in his
native city, has always been interested in horses of the
pleasure-affording class, has kept away from the pool
box and speculative department entirely, and has
taken active interest himself, developing his horses'
speed and encouraging his fellows along that line.

Somehow successful horsemen are shrewd business
men, and Mr. Devereux has invested money in horses
wisely and at all times well. He knows to a nicety a
horse's capacity, has bought such as he fancied at
rather moderate figures, and to-day were he disposed
to sell any he owns coutd realize a very handsome
profit.

'Years ago he and John Splan became intimates, and
he studied closely the veteran's methods. To-day he
uses the same style of sensible check rein seen on Mr.
Splan's harnesses. A face piece supporting the upper
jaw bit, side check rein passing through runners at
ine rosette and bucklea at tne smaller bit, with an
under jaw strap just taut enough to keep tne mouth
closed without cramping. His horse can move his
head with every freedom and it is the very best style
of check rein possible. Cresceus wears it and it is to
be recalled that when he, too, began with fast horses
Mr. Ketcham began in the Spian school at the Cleve-
land track.

Somehow horses, as a rule, wearing this check rein
require less of booting, yet in Cresceus' case it is not
ao. He wears quarter boots, knee boots, arm boots,
forward high shin boots, pass boots and scalpers be-
hind. A ywar ago Mr. Ketcnam thought to do away
with the scalpers would be to increase Cresceus' speed,
and he tried it only to find his horse touched, so they
were replaced. Horses that go witn the determination
he ever evidenced need protection and in plenty. No
one can find fault with his stride, however, and his
head freedom, perhaps, has not a little to do with this.
Few amateurs have of themselves balanced their
fastest trotters. They have had the benefit of trainers
who fitted their horses perfectly for fast miles, then
turned them over to the owner to drive at matinees.
Mr. Devereux has been a busy man several seasons,
and to his efforts as speedmaker much of John A. Mc-
Kerron's greatness is due. He has left the early work
to Charles Tanner, but Clevelanders all say that he
gives his horses all their real work at speed through-
out each season.

This close study and constant association with his
horses is beneficial to any man who is at all interested.
Many amateurs take to experimenting as to shoeing
fast horses, and there the professional will ever excel
them. He knows that a slight change of foot requires
time to bring about and can wait. The man who pays
the bills maybe tires of this waiting, and orders his
horses to another speedmaker.

The man who is constantly changing foot balance
and construction of the hoof is destined to not a few
disappointments. Few who enter the field as self-
trainers allow their smiths to exercise his talents at
will. That the shoer knows well his specialty is best
shown by the statement that the same man shod Star
Pointer when he paced in 1:59} made the set that
Cresceus wore in his 2:02$ mile, and shod John A. Mc-
Kerron when he trotted to wagon in 2:06|.

And yet six in every ten who have driven miles as
fast as 2:20 or even 2:30 imagine that they are fully
capable of dictating to their smith just how to prepare
the foot and how to fashion the shoes. Good reins-
manship and skilled training are different entirely.
The well conditioned horse can be frequently driven as
fast by the owner, if he can but sit still and rate at all
well, as by the trainer. The latter, as a rule, rarely
drives the horses within seconds of their speed, and is
content to let the horses step fractions at speed, cal-
culating the reserve by the way the horse trots and
the amount of tension at the bit end.

While Mr. Devereux is a wonderful horseman and
John Shepard of Boston among the very best, we
have in this city one of the very best amateur drivers,

who would accomplish about as much as a trainer.
Colonel Fred N. Lawrence ha* since boyhood been an
experienced, skilled reinsman, a very careful and
entirely expert conditioner, and of the most courageous
stamp. He rode races on the Long Island tracks wben
a boy, has owned many trotters since and never paid
sensational prices to obtain celebrities to retire to bis
stable. With the big mare Lottie by Look he defeated
the cracks of the speedway. Tipwald 2:21:{ he im-
proved not a little. Clayton 2:14.}, J. P. Baiter's star
road trotter, was yet another he bettered. Then
came Carlyle Came 2:11.',, a horse of sensational speed,
but not first class in a hard race in high class company.
Given almost any fa^t trotter, Col. Lawrence would
hold his own. He is one of the very few never to lose
his head. It would lie far better for the horses if
owners could let the trainer, or even the caretaker, do
the slow road work and never sit behind their horses
until they hadibeen "repeated" many fairly fast miles.
Once they strike the road all well-laid plans as to
"goirg slowly" are swept away the moment some one
brushes alongside. "Just once would do no harm,*'
and that series of brushes long before their horses are
really ready does the injurious work, and knocks their
chances endwise.

But Col. Lawrence, like Mr. Devereux, can always
wait and give the staying up road work fully as nicely
as the sensational moves under the watch. He has
had experience and learned the lesson th t "haste
makes waste." He is never backward a? to accepting
suggestions from the trainers, whose close friend he is,
and he never allows his horses to interfere with legiti-
mate business pursuits. Col. Lawrence is among the
very best road drivers of all America, and if his latest
acquisition, Gracie Onward 2:12, does not go to the
front as a star wagon trotter, not a few, especially in
Kentucky, where she is best known, will be sui prised.
In Pittsburg: the amateur movement has been pro-
nounced. Few who are not acquainted there appre-
ciate the number who have taken to driving fast
horses at Brunots Island matinees weekly. There are
such as Dr. Leek 2:09$, Rubber 2:10, Success 2:11^,
Guy 2:12, Senator K. 2:13}, owned there, and men like
Attorney General P. C. Knox, Harry Darlington, J.
G. Bennett, all very wealthy, own, train and drive
their trotters. As here and elsewhere, trotting inter-
ests have spread and much money has been circulated.
Men are to day buying young trotters, themselves
superintending their education, hoping that as they
advance in years they may become successful road and
pleasure animals. Cost is the last consideration, and
yet properly managed the wealthy man's stable need
be no more of an extravagance than the more humble
in life.

Mr. Shepard usually has paid high prices for his
trotters — he never owned or drove a pacer — but last
week in Whitewood 2:ll£, he secured a 2:09 or 2:10
pole horse for but $1300. His business is so extensive
that of necessity he gives over their training to James
Golden, who for over twenty years has had charge of
his stable stars. When, in fall, the horses are so con-
ditioned as to trot out fast miles, Mr. Shepard takes
them in hand and does his track driving. To-day, in
the seventies, he is as ruddy and active, just as en-
thusiastic, as when a much younger man with horses.
He attributes it all to his horses, and hopes this year
to drive a pair to wagon to the world's record,
below 2:12£.

Senator L. 2:09A, Altro L. 2:11£ and Whitewood
2:11| are all be owns that are really fast, yet he keeps
Riena 2:12£- in her old age, yet very satisfactory as a
brush horse, turning her out in summer for grass and
a long rest. With Senator L. and Altro L., two years
ago, Mr. Shepard drove the Readville track in 2:12A,
only a quarter of a second slower than the record. He
would give more to accomplish the first pole mile in
2:10 with horses that he himself owns than to hitch
Cresceus with any other and go in 2:05.

Mr. Hamlin, well known as breeder of so many 2:10
performers, is one of our very best reinsmen, yet all of
bis fast miles were behind his best horses at their best
and trained to the hour by William J. Andrews, who
was then head trainer at Village Farm. He drove
Belle Hamlin 2:12} and Justina 2:20 many years ago in
2:18, at the old Buffalo track; later he drove them
miles as fast as 2:15, 2:14 and 2:13A.

Mr. C. K. G. Billings is a superb reinsman, yet be
would not be as successful as an amateur trainer, as
he always has had his horses "ready for the word,'"
and has never had to wait, always having had so
many at hand, one or more ready and waiting for his
daily drive at speed. He has done amateur and pro-
fessional interests much benefit in the few years he has
been active as an amateur factor. At present he must
own over 20 high class fast horses at Memphis and
elsewhere, and can at any moment pay the asking
price and secure a horse of his fancy. Over the Chicago
snow path he for many years led all comers with horses
from his West Side stable, and what he has accom-
plished as a skillful driver many, nearly all, know by
this time. With Little Boy 2:06], to harness, he has
been miles in 2:011 and 2:01£; with Free Bond 2:04?,, he
has driven a mile in just that notch here; with Lucille
2:09iJ, to harness, he has been a mile in 2:07; with Hon
tas Crooke 2:09, to harness, a mile in 2:07.] to wagon;
Franker 2:21.1, as a track performer, he has several
times driven public miles down to 2:11, and in a losing
heat at Memphis was timed alone in 2:10}. With Mr.
Billings it will never be a case of self-training. His
voluminous enterprises require all of his attention and
he employs at a $5000 salary, Scott McCoy, a leadiug
trainer, solely to train, prepare and superintend the
stable.

James A. Murphy, formerly owner of Star Pointer
1:59.1, iw among our very best amateur drivers, and
like Col. Lawrence, a capable conditioner. If in bis
youth and disposed to he could make his living as a
trainer. He only drove Star Pointer once and then
not faster than a four-minute clip. Had Mr. Billings
owned "the Pointer Hoss, " be surely would have tried

those mentioned, yet he is not dependent on bis racing,
being very wealthy. Clarence W. Marks, tin Chicago

latter races; has had others very fast, among them old
Major 2:11, and is a splendid reinsman and speedmaker.
Starting with a 2:01', pacer that is easy to rate and
manage, however, gave to Mr. Marks decided a>

Fresno Horses Sell Well.

(.Fresno Republican.]
Fresno horses, both thoroughbred and trotters, are
bringing good prices. Lee Blasingame has just sold
for himself and others three thoroughbreds for $4330
and, as far as harness horses are concerned, the de-
mand has been so great since the Fresno Driving I Hub
was started that prices have taken a jump.

"People that talk about horses selling for a song,"
said Charley Schweizer tbe other day, "just better try
to buy one. They'll find that it takes considerably
more than a sheet of music to acquire a good roadster
in this county. A check for a good fat sum is more
like it. Our runners are in demand, too, and bring
good prizes. The horse breeding industry of this
county has nothing to complain of at the present
time."

Charley Clark, son of Senator W. C. Clark of Mon-
tana, has come to live in California and is rapidly
acquiring a racing string worth having. He has just
bought the Burlingame residence, stables and kennels
of Walter Hobart for a price said to have been $15,000.
Last week he acquired by telephone the Owens
brothers' mare, Flush of Gold. The entire transaction
was conducted by long distance 'phone between San
Francisco and Fresno by George Miller (trainer for
Mr. Clark) and Owens brothers. The price paid was
$3000, and Flush of Gold was shipped to the track at
Emeryville of the California Jockey Club yesterday
afternoon. Flush of Gold is five years old and is by-
Royal Flush, dam Gold Cup. She is a notable racer
and has some good winnings to her credit, the Los
Angeles Derby among others.

Lee Blasingame has disposed of two of the get of
old WernDerg at good prices. They are J. H. Bennett
and Porus. J. H. Bennett by Wernberg, dam Miss
Goslin brought $800. He is a likely looking two year
old. Porus is a three year old by Wernberg, dam
Chevy Chase and brought $530.

The famous old "quarter-horse," Confidence, well
known to old residents of Fresno, died on Wednesday
night at Lee Blaingame's stock farm of old age. He
had a great career, and, if he could have told it; would
have been able to tell a remarkable story, for old Con-
fidence began to race in this part of California when
the race courses were cow paths, and kept right on
running victoriously till tbe old trails had disappeared
beforethe maderoads and till finally races weredecided
on a real track.

In a turf career that ended only when he was in his
thirteenth year, Confidence won 00 races out of 6f>
starts. He was strictly a quarter horse and not a dis-
tance runner, but still he won one race at a mile and
another at six furlongs, while there were several half
mile dashes to his credit. Old "Press" Bozeman
owned and raced him for years until finally he became
the property of Lee Blasingame.

"The old horse sired a lot of youngsters that proved
fast at short distances," said Mr. Blasingame yester-
day. "Among them was April Fool, with an unbeaten
world's time record of 47 seconds for the half and 21. 1
seconds for the quarter."

hamlet in the State.

When the Woods Turn Green Again.

There's a warm, warm wind comes from the South

With a promise and a song—
A song that wells from a rose-lipped month.

In cadence full and strong.
It whispers, whispers through the day

To the hearts of longing men,
That the time is coming on the way

When the woods turn green again.

When the woods turn green in the sunshine's kiss.

And dream o'er the lazy pool,
Where the dappled shadows, hit-and-miss,

Sway slowly, dark and cool,
And the long, long dawnings bring the tuna

Of the robin, thrush, and wren,
'Till they lullaby to the day-held mooD,

When the woods turn green again.

When the woods turn green, and the sky's rich hue

Takes a deeper, truer shade.
And the blood-red poppies dot the view

In a pattern God has made.
Then the song the South wind sings so low

Will live on the hill and glen.
And its mellow notes into being grow

WheD the woods turn green again.

Tragical Fate of a Noted Bear Hunter.

Last year press dispatches from Arizona told the
story of the mysterious disappearance of a well known
hunter and woodsman, John T. McCarthy. He was
famed, far and wide, for his proverbially successful
prowess in trailing and bagging a great number of
every variety of the wild animals, whose chosen hab-
itat was the almost inaccessible, wild and remote parts
of Arizona and New Mexico.

The tragic sequel of McCarthy's passing from the
sight of his devoted partner and friends is related by a
correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald. The awful
end of Arizona's most noted bear hunter is given in the
following lines:

"The mangled remains of John T. McCarthy, Ari-
zona's most noted bear and mountain lion slayer,
trapper and naturalist, were recently laid at rest, in
the last long sleep, at Phcenix, Arizona. His body was
found after two months of untiring search by his
faithful friend and partner, John bay, in a deep
canyon where he had met his death in a terrible fight
with a bear.

McCarthy's last camp was made along Clear creek
in one of the most wild and broken parts of Arizona's
rugged wilderness, where few white settlers have found
thwir way. Canyon after canyon, deep and almost im-
passable, stretches away iD every direction in such be-
wildering confusion and with so little difference in for-
mation and appearance that a stranger would lose his
way in a short time. Many who have made Arizona
their home for years dare not wander too far from
their ramp when going through this wilderness, many
have been lost for days at a time in what is known as
"Clear creek country," and have been found by guides
after a hard search nearly dead from fatigue and
hunger.

Little is known of his last hunt. He left camp one
evening alone, taking his shotgun along with him,
saying that he iatended to kill a few doves along the
creek for breakfast, and for fear he might meetabear,
loaded up a couple of ordinary shotgun shells with
smokeless powder taken from his 30-40 rifle shells.
That was the last that was ever seen of him alive.

Some of hi-* friends believed that Apache Indians
had done away with him, as they owed him an old
grudge for action taken against them for killing game
while he was game warden of the territory, in pre-
venting-their slaughtering deer and antelope in and
out of season, as bad been their habit in years past.
Some oelieved that hia fearless feats in securing
photos of wild animals had led him too far and he had
fallen a victim to some fierce denizen of the wilderness
in his absolute fearlessness.

For nearly two months searching parties of scouts
aDd settlers were out hunting for him and at last they
gave up in despair. Not so with his old time partner.
Day after day, with dogged determination, this grim
and silent man, a hero of a hundred pitched battles
with wild beasts of the mountains, kept up the hunt
for his friend. He knew that somewhere among the
rocks and canyons McCarthy lay dead, for otherwise
his faithful bear dogs would return to camp, unless
they, too, had been killed. He knew, too, that Mc-
Carthy was not lost, for he knew every canyon and
hill, and unless most desperately wounded, be would
get back to camp in some way, as he had done before.
It had been only a few years before, while hunting
bear up in the White mountains, McCarthy had taken
too desperate a chance with a bear, which resulted in
his getting a broken leg from a vicious swipe of a bear's
forepaw, besides several ugly gashes in his side. Mc-
Carthy came into camp, a distance of eight miles, with
his leg bound to a sapling and walking with the aid of
another. He had crawled part way when his wounds
became too painful, but managed to get into camp,
and in a short time was up again with as much fight
in him as ever, with only a limp as a souvenir of his
rough and tumble experience. It took himfihreedays
to get back to camp, but his rugged strength pulled
him through.

Day's faithful and pathetic search was at last
rewarded. Deep down in a canyon, where it was im-
possible to get except on foot, near a clump of scrub
oak, on a shelving ledge of rock, lay all that was
mortal of his friend. One brief glance at the scena
told the story of his heroic struggle for life and his
fearful death. His body was mangled and crushed
out of all human semblance, his head was severed from
his body, his gun broken in dozens of pieces lay near
by and a short distance from it lay the body of a large
black bear. The skin of a younger bear was found
close to the scene, showing that he had killed one bear
and had started back up the canyon side with the
hide when attacked by the mother. McCarthy's
method of slaying a bear was to wait until it was
within a few feet of him, coming at him erect on its
hind feet, with open mouth [as is their wont when
attacking a human foe], then he would place the gun
within close range of it and shoot it full in the mouth.
[Smashing the spinal vertebrae at the neck or shoot-
ing the charge of buckshot through the back portion
of the mouth and into the brain is a far easier way to
reach a bear's brain than by shooting it in the head
and thick skull with a-rifle bullet — unless the ball were
placed in the fatal spot. This system is a novel one
and requires a coolness and intrepid courage possessed
by but a few. — Ed.] He bad evidently attempted the
same old feat with his shotgun, but it being loaded
with smokeless powder, bursted in his hands, giving
the bear every opportunity to tear him to pieces before

he could recover from the ihock of the explosion and
fight it off or kill it with his knife."

"it is indeed to be much regretted that so brave a
frontiersman and skilled hunter should have been
ignorant of the simplest rudimentary knowledge in
the handling of smokeless powder — providing the sur-
mise of the writer of the foregoing narrative is correct.
What make of powder used would cut no figure, as
nearly every manufacturer prepares a powder specially
for shooting in a shotgun or pistol and rifle. Poor
McCarthy's oversight in this respect was fatal to him.

' ' There were few things that either of these two men
did not know about the wild animals of the SouthweBt.
They knew their haunts at every season of the year,
as well as their many interesting peculiarities. There
was little chance of an animal's escaping them when it
once came in sight if they wanted it; every time they
"threw down" on an animal you could rest assured
that there was an end to it when the rifle cracked.
So sure were they of each other that they often held
each other's lives in their hands. Not long before
McCarthy's unuimely and horrible death he secured a
fairly good picture of an ugly fight between a moun-
tain lion and bis bear dogs in which all but one of his
dogs were killed, while Day stood a short distance
away with his trusty rifle in hand protecting his part-
ner during the time he took the picture with his
kodak. It was more chances than the ordinary indi-
vidual would care to take, for a mountain lion, backed
up against a cliff of rock with a half dozen dogs tam-
pering with his temper, is no pleasant companion to
associate with: but with a man like Day looking over
th« sights of a Winchester at the same object, Mc-
Carthy had no fear of anything happening except the
sudden termination of the beast's life."

An amusing incident was told by McCarthy, in illus-
trating the sagacity of a mother bear, and one of the
times that he was outwitted by old Lady Bruin to save
her cub:

"It was along the foothills in the Apache country in
the fall. I was tramping along back to camp in the
evening when I accidentally came across a young cub,
and I thought it would be lots of fun just to gather
the little cuss in. He wasn't much bigger than a
shoat, and his wallering, wabbly gait was funny
enough for anyone to laugh at. I laid my rifle up
against a tree and away we went, me 'n' the bear cub;
I run him a few hundred yards and then gathered up
the little kicking, squirming, woolley fellow and started
back to where I had left my gun. The little cuss kept
squealing all the way along, and it made me get in a
hurry, for I had suspicions there might be an old lady
lookin' for him in a mighty short time, aDd I wasn't
mistaken, either. Before I got within a couple of
hundred yards of my rifle here she came tumblin'
along with her face wide open and hair standin' right
straight up. I knew that there was going to be a
heap of business transacted in that immediate neigh-
borhood if I kept that cub. I wanted to get back to
my rifle and get a shot at her and keep the little feller.
I worked around with her coming straight at me all
the time, but she kept in between me and the gun all
the time, too. I didn't have a whole lot of time to
maneuver in, either. I took a straight run away from
the gun, hoping she would clear that neighborhood,
but she seemed to know just as well as I did where the
gun was and sbe would circle, keeping it between me
and her. and all the time getting uncomfortably nearer
me. At last I thought I'd better keep a whole hide a
little longer and I let the little feller go. Away he
went to her and I thought she would waddle back up
the mountain again after she got the cub, so I could
get my gun and do some hunting, but I'll be jerked
sideways if she didn't keep circling close to that gun
and keeping me going, then back up toward that tree
again. That's the only time lever came into camp
without my rifle, and you'd ought to see old Day grin
when I explained why I couldn't bring it in that
night."

Hundreds of the wild animals of Arizona met their
death from his famous rifle. In the last y«ar he had
killed over seventy mountain lions for the bounty ot
$20 per head giveD by the territory to rid the country

of the vicious beasts.

Wild Game and Venison from Alaska.

The Pacific Cold Storage Company of Tacoma will
endeavor to ship game from Dawson by means of
refrigerator vessels and cars. It is proposed to find a
market in the East for the cold storage game. It is
more than probable however, that the game laws of
many Eastern states will materially interfere with the
contemplated plans.

The company recently shipped $200,000 worth of
cattle, frozen beef, mutton and poultry to Yukon
points. The largest part of the shipments are carried
from Tacoma to St. Michael in refrigerator steamers,
and there transferred to two refrigerator steamers
operated by the company on the Yukon river. Last
year and the previous year the company installed cold
and warm storage plants at Nome, Rampart, Eagle
and Dawson. DuriDg last winter game was very plen-
tiful in the Yukon country — so plentiful, that the
miners, it is claimed, became sick of Arctic bares,
moose, caribou and ptarmigan, paying high prices for
beef and poultry in preference to_them.

The company's Dawson manager came to the con-
clusion that the Eastern cities of the United States
would pay handsomely for this wild game which was
going to waste in the Dawson market. He accordingly
purchased all the moose, caribou and ptarmigan he
could buy, and filled up the company's storage plant.
Recently a cargo of game was loaded on the com-
pany's refrigerator steamer and will be taken to St.
Michael, and there transferred to another steamer for
Tacoma and then will be placed in cars for shipment
East.

The outlook for a vigorous and enthusiastic field
trial campaign this season can readily be surmised by
a perusal of the announced meetings of twenty-four
clubs. A number of field trial organizations are yet to
be heard from.

Fox Terriers and Rawdon Lee's Book.

The fourth edition of Mr. Rawdon Lee's history and
description of the Fox Terrier, published towards
the close of March of the current year, will be wel-
comed by every lover of this most popular breed of
the dog. At English .shows, and many American
shows also, whatever,. breeds may be represented, the
Fox Terrier is always there and practically always
also heads the poll in numerical strength.

There is no work on the Fox Terrier so expansive
as that of Mr. Rawdon Lee's, writes John Brown in
Ihe Indian. There may be men who can write better,
or who know still more, there doubtless are; but they
do not happen to have taken the trouble to enlarge on
a subject they have so much at heart. Mr. Doylet
whose knowledge is so extensive and whose diction is
so charming, has written on the breed in a fragment-
ary way, so has Mr. Vicary, and so could Mr. Red-
mond if he only would, but it has remained for Mr.
Lee to give a work so full of interest to the world.
One of the great charms of Mr. Rawdon Lee's writing
is that of his standpoint. He writes from the point of
view of the sportsman, and not of the fancier. He
does not disregard detail, but he can take a long dis-
tance glance as well, he is not always looking with his
eyes on the ground. His earlier chapters, in which
he traced so ably the rise of the modern terrier from
the old colored terrier of past years, dwelling on a
point so often lost sight of, have always been full of
charm. There is nothing so fascinating to the true
lover of the terrier as the tale of those old world little
oogs, which worked so fearlessly, so gaily, and carried
their lives in their hands so lightheartedly in the days
when there really was work for the terrier in England.
But if there was any fault to be found, it was that the
history, up to and including the third edition, was
not up to date.

It is difficult indeed to keep any monograph of a
breed, which has progressed with such strides in pub-
lic favor, up to date. But the fourth edition before
us, enlarged in letter-press and illustrations, aims at,
and partially fulfils, that want. All the new illustra-
tions are admirable. They may, to some extent, be
idealized portraits, but they are not mere ideals like
the pictures in the author's more ambitious book.
Indeed, there are terriers of the present da-y it would
be difficult to idealize. I had recently an opportunity,
for instance, of inspecting Mr. Redmond's gallery of
portraits, and still more interesting kennel of actuals.
There are people who will tell vou that the paintings
of the famous Totteridge terriers are gross exaggera-
tions. And so they may be in a sense, Out the remark
is not necessarily a disparagement on the terriers.
There are terriers at Whetstone House which need no
flattery In their portraits. They are almost beyond
flattery, if they could only be painted as they are,
they need no more. I am not of those who hold with
the reiterated complaints of deterioration in Fox Ter-
riers. We agree with Mr. Doyle that the frequently
expressed views that the prize-winners of the day are
unworthy to rank with their predecessors, that the
type has altogether changed, that the modern Fox
Terrier is a new and fanciful creation, are the utter-
ances of those who have given no special thought or
attention to the subject. The champion of the day
would have been hailed with delight a quarter of a
century ago, and vice versa. Progress has lain in
another way. It has lain in the enormous increase of
show terriers. There are terriers running about the
streets which would have been too valuable to be at
large in days gone by. Owners of large kennels draft
annually numbers of terriers, as just below the mark,
but which might have been just good enough to win
in the seventies. Champion Olive often stood out,
head and shoulders, in quality above her competitors
in the ring. Champion Duchess of Durham, possibly
a better bitch, often needs to play her beauty for all
it is worth. To use Mr. Doyle's own words, his meta-
phors are so full of force, " We have not moved either
towards perfection, or further away from it along a
straight line. Rather we have traveled over part of
the circumference of a circle of which the standard of
perfection is the center. We have gained some ad-
vantage and lost others. Neck, shoulders, and out-
line were points that we always aimed at; to-day we
get them much oftener. We still try to get well
sprung ribs and compact frames; we oftener miss
them." If there is a fault in the modern system of
breeding, it lies in the modern "waster." In the days
when the terrier was more cloddy and compact, the
rejections were often neat and fairly shapely animals.
The modern thoroughbred " waster" is frequently a
"waster" indeed. But a moment's thought will tell
us this is only natural. The breeder of shire horses
may find he often misses the necessary quality for the
show ring and yet his products may be strong, ser-
viceable animals; the failure in thoroughbreds is more
pronounced.

The question of size is also a topic of the day, and
there is no doubt that many champions of recent
years have been too large. But Mr. Doyle tells us,
with much point, that for some five and twenty years
he has heard that terriers are getting larger. He
believes that Buffet was fully equal to the size of most
winners of the day, and that Brockenhurst Joe, who
won the Challenge Cup in 1881, was the biggest dog,
except perhaps Venio, that ever won it. Mr. Vicary,
whose opinion is also entitled to respect, says that he
finds more young terriers have to be drafted for being
too small and toyish than for being over-sized. And
at any rate we know that size is mainly confined to
dogs; there has rarely been an over-sized bitch the
recipient of high honors, for several years, and Mr.
Redmond's Duchess of Durham, the champion smooth
bitch at Cruft's in 1902, and his Dusky Gleaner, cham-
pion in wires, are both exceptionally small, the latter
being the smallest champion we have ever seen. There
i8 also no doubt that the objectionable bull character-
istics, so often discernible in Fox Terriers of the past,
have almost entirely disappeared. A very small infu-

sion of this blood produres a very shapely, prema-
turely full-figured puppy. It appears, to the inexpe-
rienced eye, to overshadow the more lightly built, less
furnished, pure terrier, but it does not last. At two
years of age it is already beginning to exhibit coarse-
ness of skull, or front, or shoulders, or boniness of
muscle, and then its show career is over. The pure
terrier almost improves with age. An eight years old
Champion Donna Fortuna shows no loss of form.

The portion of Mr. Rawdon Lee's work dealing with
the wire haired Fox Terrier was not so full, nor per-
haps so interesting, as that which dealt with the
smooths; but the present edition is a decided step in
advance and we have the advantage of some valuable
remarks from the pen of Mr. George Raper, one of the
best judges in the world. The smooth terrier of
twenty or so years ago was streets ahead of his wire
confrere, but the two varieties occupy a level position
now, and in special classes, where they compete to-
gether, no advantage can be claimed on either side.
In such classes, the wire terrier has certain conditions
both in his favor and disfavor. The rougher jacket is
apt to hide defects, and to give a certain workmanlike
wear and tear, cut and come again, appearance that
the smooth Fox Terrier does not possess. But, on the
other hand, a satisfactory condition of coat is harder
to obtain. A wire terrier may be well nigh perfect in
all points except that of coat, but if that fail, the fail-
ure is so striking to the eye that it debars its owner
from high honors. Mr. Raper, whose exhibits are
rarely deficient in this respect, ascribes his success to
considerable inter-breeding with smooth blood. It used
to be an axiom that breeding from parents smooth on
one side and wire on the other, the puppies more often
throw to the former, but Mr. Raper's experience is
all the other way. He states that his well known
champion, Matchmaker, with only twenty-five percent
of wire blood in him, produces fifty per cent of wire
hairs from smooth bitches. His champion, Raby Top-
knot, has only about ten per cent of wire blood and
rarely throws a 9mooth. Mr. Clear's champion, Jack
St. Leger, was nearly smooth in blood. Many of the
best wire haired terriers have owed a great measure of
their success to the smooth blood in their veins. The
wire terriers have shown marked progress in recent
years, a progress for which the Meersbrook blood is
largely responsible. As far back as 1894, Mr. Sam
Hill possessed in Meersbrook Bristles, Lordship, Mag-
pie and Sereneness four terriers which had not previ-
ously been excelled and which would take some beat-
ing at the present day; while at Birmingham in 1898,
the open class consisted of Go Bang, Matchmaker,
Knock Out, Rayston Remus, Meersbrook. Lordship,
Tarras Gaffer, Grove Bristles and Barkley Ben, every
terrier in the group being of the highest merit.

I can confidently recommend the work uDder refer-
ence to all Fox Terrier men.

DOINGS IN D0GD0M.

Nairod Kennels lost on May 29th, a very promising
St. Bernard bitch puppy, Glenwood Bonnie (Le King-
Princess Rachel). Tbis puppy's death will prove the
loss of an exceptionally good young one, had she
lived she would no doubt have been a fine brood bitch.

Woodlawn Eclipse (Tyke-Eclipse Blanche) a Datty
Fox Terrier, recently whelped eight puppies (two
dogs) to Cairnsmuir General (Ch Go Bang-Ch Cairns-
muir Kismet). The bitch died after whelping aDd at
present three extra good looking puppies are being
raised on the bottle at Woodlawn Kennels.

To those who now have puppies to train, the follow-
ing pointers, the outcome of experience is suggested:

Do not let your pups get into the habit of barking
violently, a most tiresome trick, coming of idleness
and not enough outdoor exercise, and also sometimes
hereditary.

Scold them, and keep a 9witch in the corner for a
nip now and then; they will soon pay attention.

Take your pups out into the road early, to accustom
them to curious sights and sounds, it makes all tho
difference at their first show.

Accustom them to follow you without lead early,
also to have on a collar, and to lead nicely. This can
not be done in a field or garden they know well, or
they will scream and crouch, but in a road or quiet
street, they will pay more attention to you.

Do not let your pups run after other dogs; in that
way comes distemper, also fighting.

Train your pups to be well behaved when visitors
come into the room; if not done early, then it becomes
impossible, and they are a nuisance to your friends.

Carry a pup at first in crowded streets; it gains
much confidence in this way, and soon minds no
strange noises and sights much, if with you.

When bold enough, take it on a train, or you may
have a pleasing time, the first day of a show, if they
have never been by train before.

To put off beginning for too long, say ten months
old or so, is to give you and the dog an infinity of
trouble afterwards. Yr>u should begin from weaning
time.

A neatly designed and convenient device for ascer-
taining correctly Che pattern of one's gun has been
issued by the Hazard Powder Company. The paper
target is divided into eight sections, each section sub-
divided into three smaller sections, and has also 30,
24 and 12-inch circles to facilitate the counting of shot
marks. The pattern is designed to enable a shooter
to ascertain just exactly how well his gun is 9hooting
to center from time to time, a record table being
printed thereon for the purpose of registering the
load used and other data necessary for a shooter to
keep tab on the work he is doing with his guD.

For the information o! a correspondent who signed
himself trap shooter, we will state that a canvas, dur-
ing the progress of the tournament, of the 109 sports-
men who took part in the merchandise shoot at Ingle-
side, on May 18th, showed that 90,°J of the shooters
present used I". M. C. shells.

The College City Gun Club inaugural shoot on the
club grounds located in the North Berkeley hills, last
Sunday, was a most Battering beginning of the career
of the new organization. Forty shooters entered the
principal event, a prize shoot. Among this list we are
pleased to note a number of new shooters, and others
comparative novices. The program was arranged to
enable the less skillful shooters to get in on the prize
distribution. These classes were seggregated, thus
bringing together, in each section, men who were
about equal in shooting abilities. This idea of encour-
aging new beginners and bringing recruits into the
ranks we have long advocated, aDd is a method that
will not only revive, but give trap shooting a new
impetus, and place the sport on the plane where it
belongs. The main race was at twenty blue rocks,
three classes, the first ten targets were shot at
from the sixteen yard mark, the second ten were
shot at under the following handicap: Shooters
who broke 9 or 10 targets shot the remaining
10 at 20 yards; 7 and 8 breaks, IS yards; 5 and 6
breaks, 16 yai ds; 4 breaks or less, 14 yards, high guns,
lb the first class W. H. Price broke 18 targets, and
won first prize, a Remington rifle, the other winners
in the class were C. Baird, W. A. Robertson, R. C.
Reed, T. Thompson, H. S. Swales and H. A. Searles.
In the second 2lass. first honors were annexed by J.
Gordon, followed in order of shootiDg merit by J. D.
Button, W. S. Schmidt, J. Lasserot, R. J. Weir, R.
L. Whiting, J. Johnson, G. H. Chick and Capt. De-
merit. The third class winners were: J. Da'
Stoner, C. Fischell, J. Agee, C. Wright, C. L. Hugging

The California Wing Club shoot last Sunday was
well attended, as usual, both by club members and
visiting shooters. Fifteen shooters entered in the
regular club race at twelve pigeons, four back scores
were also shot up. In this race "Slade" 26 yards, Dr.
A. T. Darby 27 yards and G. W. Gibson 25 yards each
made straight scores and divided the cup value and
70% of the club added purse. P. J. Walsh 29 yards,
C. A. Haight 31 yards and J. J. Sweeney 30 yards,
with eleven birds each, divided the balance of the
rjurse, 30%. S. R. Smith, of Riverside, shot as a guest
of the club. F. J. StODe, a clever Fresno trap Bhot
who recently joined the club, shot up fourscores, mak-
ing respectively nine, ten, eleven and twelve. In sis
six bird pools he killed straight three times and also
grassed clean in a twelve bird pool. Sweeney, who
shot in four sis bird pools, billed straight: his club
score _was marred by one bird falling "dead out."
Feudner shot two straights in the pools: he also lost a
bird -'dead out" in the club race, shooting from the 33
yard mark.

In a half dozen six bird pools, the winners were:
Haight, Justins, Smith and Sweeney; Haight, Justins,
Sweeney, Walsh and Derby: Haight, Derby, Feudner,
Stone and ''Reamer;" Justins and Sweeney: Stone:
Stone. In a twelve bird pool Nauman and Stone
scored the only straights. The weather was pleasant
and the birds strong; during the day nearly 800 pigeons
were trapped. It is noticeable that at this shoot the
straight scores were principally made by the short
distance shooters.

b Some Interesting Notes oj Boston Terrier Awards.

8

6 The Boston Terrier Meg was very unlucky at the
6 May show in 1901 — she had no chance to get into the
1 competition. This year it was different as the follow-
ing story shows. It seems now she was turned down
either through ignorance or for other reasons — we
hesitate to intimate any motives other than those
actuating all fair minded sportsmen and fanciers, but
under the circumstances it looks at least as if both Mr.
Clayton and Mr. Klein, were either taking advantage
of Mr. Graham E. Babcock's credulity or imposing
upon good nature, to draw it mildly, when Meg was
awarded three letters in novice and limit, and reserve
in open; Endcliffe Betty and Endcliffe Venetta first
and second in novice and open; Endcliffe Pride third
in limit, Mr. Clayton, judge. Mr. Babcock and other
fanciers interested in Bostons were surprised — for the
lot of Eastern dogs were not then regarded here as
anything remarkably good.

Mr. Babcock, as is usual with exhibitors whose dogs
are beaten, naturally desired to know where his dog
was inferior to those placed over her. Mr. Clayton,
in response to inquiry, explained several points and
differences in favor of the winning dogs, so we are in-
formed. Comparison was at once made Dy several
interested gentlemen and the differences described
were either wanting or too trivial to influence a judge
who understood the breed. Mr. Babcock. who is hap-
pily possessed of the quality of determination. wa>
imbued with a rigid insistence of the recognition of any
merits he was entitled to in a competition prompted by
sportsmanship and his particular fancy. Upon calling
Mr. Clayton's attention to the instability of his first
explanation and in the presence of several gentlemen,
the former insisted that his judgment was correct and
exploited upon the fact that Meg's undershot jaw was
in itself a sufficient reason for placing her below the
other dogs — almost in fact a disqualification. In this
Mr. Clayton was corroborated by Mr. Klein. Mr.
Babcock and the others interested were not up on
Bostons enough to prevail against this undershot
argument, which temporarily was a settler and which
then stopped all argument regarding Meg.

Not so with Eastern fanciers and sportsmen as the
following extracts and communications will show.
Mr. Babcock in investigating the matter, not being at
all convinced that the many and plausible explana-
tions of the two gentlemen mentioned were founded
either upon fact or experience, to draw it mildly, wrote
to different Eastern fanciers, explaining the case and
asking for expert opinions, for which he had originally
sought receiving instead but the shadow for the
substance. In response to Mr. Babcock's correspond-
ence the testimony given below was forwarded. This
is an arraignment of the judge's Boston Terrier
awards that is convincing to the reader that Mr. Clay-
ton's knowledge of Bostons is mediocre and Mr
Klein's corroboration, careless, to say the least, for he
has been regarded as having some qualifications and
knowledge wherewith to express an opinion upon
some breeds of dogs

In another letter to Mr. Babcock, and from an
unimpeachable authority, the writer gives his
opinion that he is "not surprised that Thomas' dogs
won at your show." "Thomas does not show Bos-
tons in the East, his entries of this breed can not
be found in any catalogue, although he shows
other breeds." "The kind of Bostons taken to the
Coast would be immediately 'given the gate' East, and
would be on the Coast, when passed upon by a judge
who knows his business (in this we believe he is some-
what harsh on Mr. Clayton) such as * *

who. occasionally get to the Coast."
At present several fanciers of Bostons here are
muchly put out at the specious claim made, that Meg
was properly placed way down by reason of defective
muzzle qualities superinduced by an undershot jaw.
What her particular merits in the competition were
we will not advance here nor does it cut any figure.
Both Clayton and Klein are authority for the under-
shot jaw fallacy: what their judgment in this respect
is worth can be contrasted with the following opinions;
the above and these we submit without prejudice:

'• In the kennel journal reports of the San Francisco
show I had noted your lack of success with Meg, and
was on the point of writing you when your letter
arrived this A. M.

As I know there is no bitch in California that can
touch Meg, I was chagrined at the result until I looked'
to see who the judge was, when it was explained.

The man who passed upon the Bostons probably
never saw a good specimen. He lives in Chicago
where there is not a Boston Terrier worth more than
$100, and I doubt if he ever attended an Eastern show,
where, only, the criterions can be seen. I have been
at every large Eastern show for years, and never
heard of him there, and I meet every fancier of any
note.

Why will your show committees select such a judge
to pass upon your dogs, instead of one who is posted
on all breeds. If Mr. Clayton were elected to judge at
New York or Boston there would not be a dozen'fios-
ton Terriers entered there, instead of there being
several hundred at each show, as is the case under
judges of known ability. I supposed that even in your
section, where there are but few of the breed, that old
fetich of "undershot jaw" had been relegated to
oblivion.

It cannot be that the judge was such an ignoramus
as to claim that a Boston should be overshot. That
would be the limit for a judge and he should be re-
quested to peruse the Standard and find where such a
jaw is called for.

Years ago the Standard called for an even jaw, but,
for cause, the Boston Terrier Club, which body regu-
lates all matters pertaining to the breed, realized that'
all of the model dogs, the. first prize winners, were under-
shot, and thereupon changed the Standard in the in-
terest of consistency. This was several years auo.

All 01 the famous dogs, those that have tro
prizes in the Ion, and were bought and

sold for $1000, $2000 and -

I will go farther than this, and wager $1 1 M

$200, that a Boston Terrier dog or bitch, without an*
undershot jaw, cannot win as much as a third prize at
an Eastern show. I have never looked at her jaw, V
but I will wager another $1000 to $200 that Bonnie,]
the bitch that won the special prize at the last Boston]
show, beating the dog for whom $3000 was offered and'"
ref usee . "shot, [am willing to make this offer

because I know that a dog (Boston) cannot have a '
good muzzle unless it is undershot — will be pig-jawed.

I will make still another wager, at the same rate,
that every Boston winning a prize at any Eastern
show of note, in the last five years, is and was "under- ■
shot. ' '

In a few days I will send you papers confirming-
what I write. They will be from such men as the
President of the Boston Terrier Club, who judged the
breed at Boston this winter and has judged several
times at New York, and is always selected for the
position, if he will serve — also several who have judged
at these two shows and are (he authorities on the
subject."

On May 12th following the writer of the foregoing
again writes to Mr. Babcock as follows:

•• EDclosed you will find the opinions of the best, the
highest authorities of the world on Boston Terrier
jaws. They are from Mr. F. G. Davis, President of
the Boston Terrier Club, who judged the breed at ■
Boston this year and has also judged at the New York
show on several occasions; also from Mr. Dwight
Baldwin, ex-President Boston Terrier Club, one of the
founders of the club and one of the committee that
formulated the Standard. Mr. Baldwin judged the
Bostons at New York in Dec-ember last, also two years
ago, and has judged several times at Boston — also. Mr.
P. J. Brifkley, who was one of the three judges at
Boston this year and has judged at Providence and
elsewhere. If these opinions are not conclusive and
convincing, I will send more arguments from other
judges."

Tne opinions referred to in the above communication
are are follows:

Mr. Frederick G. Davis writes — "In relation to even
jawed Boston Terriers, it seems to be the opinion of a
majority of breeders and judges of this popular breed
that in order to get a dog with a good, square and
typical muzzle, the dog should be slightly «.
This is also my personal opinion, and I should certainly
look for this feature in buying a dog of that breed."

Mr. Dwight Baldwin says — "In reply to your note
regarding muzzle, teeth, etc., of the Boston Terrier,
would say that it practically makes no difference if
the dog is slightly undershot or not. You will notice
Standard ignores that point, and in judging it is prac-
tically ignored. Whether or not a dog is undershot
becomes important only when he is so much undershot
that his lips do not cover his teeth, cr so much under-
shot as to cause a 'lay back,' which last would prevent
the square muzzle called for in the Standard. You
You will notice the second word under ' Muzzle" is
"Square."' That means that the angle at tbe tip of
the nose should be about a right angle. As long as
this angle is about right and the lips cover the teeth,
it matters very little whether the dog is absolutely
even or not. As a matter of fact, the best muzzled
dogs are apt to be very slightly — all slightly undershot.
By this I mean, that if you examine their 'eeth this
slight undershot shows, "but where the mouth is closed
and the lips natural, it does not appear."

Mr. P. j. Brickley in brieX is quoted — "Almost all
the Boston Terriers, the prize winDers, that have come
under my observation as judge, have 'undershot'
jaws, and I should not expect to find a good, strong,
typical muzzle in a dog without such a jaw."

Mr. Arthur Mulvey, one of the judges of the Boston
Terrier Club writes — "Confirming my recent conver-
sation with you, I wish to say, that in judging Boston
Terriers. I would take it for granted that a dog having
a typical muzzle would be somewhat undershot. I
never yet saw a good one that was not."

The clause of the Standard covering the case is as
follows:

—Short, square wide and deep, without wrinkles. Nose,
l.lat-k and wide, with a well-defined line between nostrils. The
jaws broad and square, with short, regular teeth. The chops wide
and deep, not pendulous, completely covering the teeth when the
mouth is closed.

How Germs Get Into Milk.

In Ihe lirst place u sioo.l many germs are
liviDg in the milk while it is yet in the
udder of the cow, and in the next place,
a good many more tall into the milk pail
from those Moating in the air, being caught
in the streams of descending milk, says
Bulletin 152, New Jersey Experiment
Station. Still othersare introduced cling-
ing to the particles of dirt, dust, hair,
chaff, etc.. that becomes loosened from
the udder and adjacent surface of the cow,
and from the hands, arms, etc., of the
milker, and in fly time from the whisking
tail of the pestered animal. It is the
presence of numerous articles of this sort
which is responsible for the general prac-
tice of straining milk. But no strainer is
tine enough to retain the small particles,
and least of all the germs that Lave been
washed out of the particles- In those
dairies where the practice of keeping cows
and stalls thoroughly clean has not been
adopted, the dirt that most frequently gets

into milk consists of particles of manure.
The presence of even a little manure im-
parts to the milk the peculiar flavor called
"cowey,'' as though it were the distinctive
odor of this domestic species. But this
flavor is quite distinct from the odor of
new, pure milk (also found in the cow's
breath, over which poets have raved in
ecstasy). In these days of ''modern dairy
progress" the production of "cowey" milk
is both inexcusable and reprehensible.
Milk lias a strong attraction for odors, and
readily absorbs any predominant odor of
the air, etc., it is in contact with, hence it
is not strange that it extracts the odor of
the dirt that falls into it. In fact, if the
milch cow's food has any peculiar flavor
it affects the milk. These vario s disa-
greeable flavors in milk are of less conse-
quence than the fact that milk receives
the germs that inhabit the dirt which gets
into it. Of all dirt, manure is the richest
in germ content, and what is even more
important, it contains germs that are par-
asitic in the intestines and hence are liable
to produce disease.

MONTEREY 31706 SISSJ

PEDIGREE IN PART.

i^IRED BY SIDNEY 2:193i, sire of 17 In the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, S better than 2:10. and Lenna
^ N. 2:05>4 (champion record), and 96 in the charmed circle. Hattie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares. Com. Belmont 4340, son of Alexander Belmont (M, sire of Nutwood
Barona. his second dam, is by Woodford's Mambrino 2:21Vi, and his third dam, Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25, sire of Lula 2:15; fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He Is u grand stallion to look at; be
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Waller S. Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 20th, a half in 1:1*5. first Quarter is " i ■
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and bus but lit tie work. He can trot faster than
any colt I ever saw and dolt easier. WALTEB

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before thi; breeders will be bread-
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep him down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will beol suob blgb class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top, and speed also. Monterey will make this season. 1903,

THE BEST TRAINING TRACK of a half dozen
the writer has visited during the past two or
three months in the section around the bay was the
one at Vallejo last Saturday. It was very near per-
fection. Good footing, moist enough to be springy,
a slight cushion on top to prevent concussion, and not
a spot in the entire mile that was cuppy or broke under
the feet of the trotters and pacers worked over it.
Every shoe print clearly defined and the entire width
of the track in order from fence to fence. It is a fast
track and at the same time a safe one. If it is kept in
the shape it is at present (and Jo Smith says it will be
if he has to stay up nights to see it done), the opening
of the circuit at Valiejo will see some fast time.

On Monday next ten stakes ranging from $500 to
$700 will close with Secretary W. T. Kelly of the
Vallejo association. I talked with Mr. Kelly a few
minutes at Vallejo last Saturday and he is enthusi-
astic and pleased over the prospects for the best meet-
ing this year that the Navy Yard town has ever had.
The stakes of the Breeders Fresno meeting and the
one at Napa, having filled so well it is pretty certain
that Vallejo, which opens the circuit, will do likewise.
The district association is working harder than ever
before to have a high class fair and race meeting.
The purses for harness horses are generous and num-
erous, and the premium lists for live stock, etc., are on
the same order. Vallejo was never more prosperous
than now and is growing rapidly. It will be one of the
best betting towns on the whole circuit, as there are a
very large number of enthusiastic horseman there,
and many of them enjoy backing their judgment with
their money. I don't lemembera race meeting ever
held at Vallejo but the pool sellers were kept busy.
Good odds and a run for your money will be the rule
this year. If there is a horseman in California who
has a horse that he thinks can win any part of the
money this year he should have an entry or two at
Vallejo as the purses are large, the terms liberal and
the weather there in August very near perfection.

There was not a sick horse at the Vallejo track last
Saturday, although some thirty or forty were being
worked and probably twenty-five more were running
in the infield. It is undoubtedly a very healthy place
for horses and the cool b"eeze from the bay is just
softened enough to be pleasant. Charley Morgan is
working three horses there belonging to Capt. N. P.
Batchelder of this city, and one is a Dexter Prince
mare that the Captain paid but $75 for, yet is very
liable to pace to a record of 2:10 or better this year.
She wears nothing on her legs and is just the swuetest
gaited thing I have seen for many a day. They call
her Trifle and Morgan has her in perfect condition.
He worked her four heats Saturday, the fastest in
2:21, and he was swinging back on the lines the whole
mile every time so that Vic Harrier and Joe Cuicello
with their trotters Bay Rum 2:16} and Puerto Rico
2:18J could keep up. Trifle will be entered in the
races somewhere on the circuit this year so that she
can obtain a record, as it is Capt. Batchelder's inten-
tion to mark her as low as possible, reduce the record
of his stallion Eden Vale 2:20 by Eros, and then mate
them. Eden Vale has one of the most intelligent and
at the same time beautiful heads I ever saw on a stal-
lion. He is a wonderfully fast horse, but has been
greatly handicapped in his training heretofore and has
had little chance. If he does not lower his mark
under Charley Morgan's training I am greatly mis-
taken, as he has two minute speed.

Mr. Vic Harrier, one of Vallejo's substantial citizens,
is the owner of Bay Rum and has in him a road horse
that is hard to beat in aDy country. Bay Rum is now
about fifteen years old, but has as much speed for a
brush as ever in his life. He is now a gelding but was
kept a stallion for years, and there are several of his
get that will enter the list if trained. Bay Rum was
bred by John Sanchez of Hollister and got his mark
of 2:16} in 1897 at Willows. He is by John Sevenoaks,
son of Ndtwood 600. He is a big, tall fellow, rather a
handsome roadster, as the photograph on the front
page of to-day's Breeder will show.

Joe Cuicello has a small but a select string of horses
at Vallejo, and I understand he is soon to have two or
three royally bred colts from Palo Alto Stock Farm.
He worked Mr. Coffin's horse Puerto Rico 2:18J the
day I visited the track and the son of Sable Wilkes is
improved over his last year's form. He has more
flesh on his bones, goes stronger and worked the last
quarter of a 2:22 mile in 32 seconds when Charley
Morgan drove the pacing mare Trifle the same quarter
in 31. I look for Puerto Rico to be quite a factor in

the 2:19 and faster classes this year. He has a great
burst of speed, but until this year has not been a 6tout,
rugged horse. Cuicello is training^ a three year old
pacer by Seymour Wilkes 2:08$ that f> certain to make
a great reputation for this son of Guy Wilkes when-
ever he starts in the races. He is a big, handsome
fellow and has shown a mile in time fast enough to win
money in the races this year. He is too good a colt,
however, to risk against aged horses, and as he is not
staked he will not be raced.

Joe Corey is training for William Halford the big
stallion Donnybrook by Don L. 2:28}. This stallion is
a full brother to the horse Joe Selby that took a wagon
record of 2:26} at Stockton last year. Donnybrook
does not bear any resemblance to his brother, being a
very heavy horse, and will doubtless make a much
faster one. He is credited with a quarter better than
32 seconds at the trot and is one of the smoothest go-
ing big studs I have seen for a long time. Corey has
him in fine condition, and shows with pride a couple
of his colts, one out of the thoroughbred St. Savior
mare pictured on the front page of this issue that is a
very handsome one. Another that he was just break-
ing showed a splendid disposition and when harnessed
the second time was driven alongside the cars and paid
not a particle of attention to them.

American Associations and suspended horses are per-
mitted to start. While the association is thus a sort
of maverick or free lance, its meetings are always well
attended and more betting is done on the events than
at many of the regular meetings held on district tracks.
Several attempts have been made by some of the lead-
ing members of the club to abolish racing for money,
but it meets with little favor, as a majority of the
members are not men of large means and the chance
of winning the long end of a purse has greater attrac-
tion to them than the pride of possessing a trophy.
The leading members would do a wise thing, however,
if they were to induce the association to take out a
membership in the National Trotting Association and
have all future meetings conducted under its ruleB.
Then by placing judges in the stand to enforce those
rules, the club's racing would be vastly improved.

Joe Smith, son of the veteran horse breeder, Thos/
Smith, President of the Solano Agricultural Associa-
tion, has ten head in training at Vallejo, In addition
to his arduous duties with this band of trotters and
pacers, Joe superintends the working of the track and
its condition is a credit to his ability in this line.
Among the fast horses he is training is Gaff Topsail

The next legislature may be called upon to change
Sam Gamble's name. Mr. Gamble was in the city this
week marching and feasting with his fellow Nobles of
the Mystic Shrine and told me that he seriously con-
templating asking the legislature of California to per-
mit him to change his name to Stam B. Excel Gamble.
He says that Stam B. and Excel will have such a boom
within the next few years that unless he gets his name
changed, as he suggests, the public may lose track of
and forget the manager in the rush. Every Stam B.
colt that is heard Trom is trotting like a whirlwind and
he predicts that whjen the young Excels begin to arrive
they will do the same.

There has been considerable talk in the past of
organizing a gentlemen's driving club in this city, and
recently this talk has been revived. As yet, however,

Golden Gate Park Driving Association has leased
the Vallejo track for the 4th of July and will hold a
day's racing there on that date. It is proposed to
arrange a program of four races, mile heats, two in
three, with purBes of $100 each. The members of this
club have a style all their own for conducting meet-
ings and get lots of fun out of them. It is not a
matinee or driving club in the strict present day con-
struction of those terms, as they always race for
purses, and have voted down trophy racing several

times. A well known harness dealer of this city pre- Hon. Jesse D. Carr celebrated his eighty-eighth
sented a very handsome cup to the club for a challenge birthday anniversary yesterday. He kept open house

last evening and scores of his friends called to tender

them. I have heard of twenty San Francisco gentle-
men who are regular road drivers who have expressed
their willingness to become members of a high class
driving club, and about all that is needed to effect the
organization is for some one to take the initiative, call
a meeting and do the preliminary work. Then if a
track can bj secured that is within driving distance,
matinees could be held that would draw large crowds
of enthusiastic people to witness the contests.

We have met two men who intended entering at
Napa but forgot about it until after entries had closed,
although they had received entry blanks and notices
galore. See that you are not left out at Vallejo and
San Jose, whose entries close next Monday.

Mountain Maid by Cresco, that was nominated in
the Breeder's Futurity $6000, for the produce of mares
bred in 1901, has just dropped a fine colt by McKinney
that her owner, Mr. S. F. Martin of Oakland, thinks

S. K. Trefry of Pleasanton has a green trotter by
Diablo 2:09}, that is showing fast. - He is a bay gelding
and after five or six work-outs stepped a mile in 2:24
last week, and did it so nicely that a mile in 2:18 is
predicted for him before long and he is considered a
great prospect.

Several of the young colts and fillies at the side of

Direct 2:10, out of Mabel the dam of Directly '2:03} ,
step a mile to a big Toomey cart one day last week at
Pleasanton in 2:28, the last half in 1:11}. Mr. Gamble
says she is one of the best prospects for a champion
pacer that he has seen lately.

Senator Hale will never be able to move the Navy
Yard from Vallejo, neither can he prevent the success
of the big fair and race meeting to be held there in
August. Have you made out your entries yet? They
close next Mondav, the 16th. Fill out your blank and
mail it in lime. Vallejo has the best track in Califor-
nia to-day.

The 2:15 trot at Napa this year should be a closely
contested race. There are but six entries, but the
Directors declared it filled, knowing it will result in a
close contest should all the horses go to the post which
is very likely. Those entered are Lou 2:141, Alta Vela
2:15, thos. R. 2:15, Vic Shellar 2:15}, What Is It 2:16},
and Puerto Rico 2:18S.

As soon as you read this, sit down and write to W.
T. Kelly, Secretary of the Solano Agricultural Society
at Vallejo, and tell him how many entries you desire
to make in the stakes that close next Monday. You
will find a full list with conditions in our advertising
columns. This will be a great meeting and yon don't
want to miss it.

"Sandy" Smith, the energetic and well posted Cali-
fornia horseman, has been at Toledo, O., since the
Cleveland sale, but expects to leave for the Coast soon,
in charge of Mr. A B. Spreekels' mares, Venus II.
2:11} and Czarina 2:13}. These mares have been bred
to Cresceus 2:02} and will be returned to the Spreekels
ranch at Aptos, Cal.

The valuable chestnut suckling colt byAUerton 2:09]
out of Beuzetta 2:06} by Onward 2:25], owned by mill-
ionaire W. E. D. Stokes, New York City, was found
dead in a paddock at the Patchen Wilkes stud farm,
in Lexington, Ky., last Wednesday night. Horsemen
regarded this as one of the most valuable trotting
foals ever dropped in Kentucky.

The British mule camp which has been maintained
at Lathrop, Mo., since May, 1901, during which time
80,000 horses and mules for use in South Africa have
been handled, is to be removed to Toronto, Canada,
immediately. Nearly all the British officers stationed
there have already left and 2000 horses still there will be
shipped to Toronto within a few days.

The Stockton track is getting good and the horses
are beginning to be sent occasional fast miles. Charles
Whitehead has moved his string back to Stockton
from Lodi, where he spent the early part of the year.
He worked his green pacer The Mrs. by Derby Ash a
mile in 2:13 the other day and she did it very handily.
Toppy 2:12* is at least a hundred pounds heavier than
last year. The first mile he has had at speed this year
was iast Friday, when he was driven one in 2:17}, last
half in 1:05] and last quarter in 31 J seconds.

. Salt makes animals more lively, strong and capable
of resisting disease. Their flesh is harder for it. and
the functions of the body more regular. Their diges-
tion is better, and they can feed on fodder that other-
wise might be injurious to health. Moreover, with
the assistance of salt, they can extract more nourish-
ment from a given quantity of fodder, since the flow
of the digestive liquids is more copious. Give salt
with food difficult to* digest.

We wish to call the attention of our Alameda county
readers and others to the fact that the Oakland
Carriage and Implement Co. have one of the finest
lines of light speed and road wagons on the Pacific
Coast. They also carry the celebrated Faber sulky,
which holds so many world's records. Drop into their
repository at 362-364-361; Twelfth street, Oakland, any
day. You will be welcome, and they'll treat you right.

Chas. E. Clark will not be seen on the Eastern cir-
cuit with his good mare Sue 2:12], unless she rounds
to pretty soon which is not probable. Mr. Clark
started for Los Angeles with her on his way East, but
the mare contracted lung fever before reaching Los
Angeles and came near dying. It is not likely that
she will be able to race this year at all. Mr. Clark
may race a few on the California circuit, as there are
several owners who would like him to train and drive
their horses.

J. M. Nelson arrived last week at Minneapolis from
Alameda, Cal., with eight horses, as follows: Sola 2:14],
by McKinney; Dan W. 2:17], by Director Hero; Lady
Grannard 2:23, by McKinney: China Maid, 4, by Mc-
Kinney, dam by Onward, entered in Chamber of Com-
merce and other stakes; Princess Airlie, 5, by Prince
Airlie: Iloilo, 5, bay stallion, by Alexis 2:18, and a bav
gelding, brother to Clay S. 2:13}. The Nelson lot
start at Minneapolis and St. Paul and then go to
Detroit. Their future movements will depend on
circumstances.

A two year old Indian tiger was killed in a fight with
horses on a circus train while en route from Goshen to
Poughkeepsie last Friday. The tiger, which has been
recently imported, escaped from its wagon den while
the train was in motion It crawled over the tops of
four wagons and entered a car containing thirty
draught horses. A fierce battle ensued, the panic-
stricken horses plunging and kicking at the savage
intruder. When the train reached Poughkeepsie the
tiger was found dead and mangled under the hoofs of
one of the horses. Six of the horses were badly
scratched and bitten.

A Fresno correspondent of the Breeder and
Sportsman writes that there are forty horses work-
ing at that track, some of which are very good ones.
Among them is a green mare by Strath way that paced
an easy mile in 2:20 the other day, and Mr. Eddy has
one or two more by the same horse that can do the
same. Peter Jackson is getting in good shape and
will be hard to catch this year. Mr. Owens arrived at
the Fi'esno track this week with eight runners and
three harness horses. There is much interest in
Fresno over the Breeders meeting to be held this fall,
and the prospects are for a very successful fair and
race meeting.

The following is from the Western horsemanot May
30th: "Budd Doble is looking after a string of four
head at the Indianapolis track, but he has nothing
that he will take to the races. He is educating a team
of roan mares — Maud Newman 2:17A by Anteeo Jr.
and Neerbell by Neernut — that can trot a 2:20 gait to
pole, and that are as nice a pair of light roadsters as
can be found anywhere. He also has the handsome
brown trotting stallion, Kinney Ma, by McKinney,
and another green trotter. Mr. Doble will remain in
Indianapolis for a week or so, when he will ship his
horses to Cleveland. Orrin Hickok is not able to get
around much yet, but his health is greatly improved,
and he will probably be at work with his horses in a
few days. His string includes the fast but erratic Cali-
fornia side-wheeler, Clipper 2:06 by Diablo; Thornway,
a bay pacing stallion by Steinway, and a green trotter
by Wildnut. Mr. Hickok has expressed his opinion
that at present the Indianapolis track is one of the
best in the country for training- purposes, and he will
probably finish his training here."

Bavard, Judge Greene's three year old by Directum
2:05] out of Little Witch by Director, that Millard
Sanders has in training at GlenviQe truck, is doing
well. He worked a mile in 2:23] the other day. Ba-
vard is entered in the Kentucky Futurity. The Am-
erican SpOTtsmam says: "Millard Sanders is highly
pleased with the manner in which his horses are work-
ing and acting and it would certainly seem as if the
popular California reinsman would provo a prominent
factor on the Grand Circuit this season. Dolly Dillon
2:07 has been a mile in 2:17, last quarter in 30| seconds,
and takes her work in an entirely different manner
than last year. She scores in company without fret-
ting or lugging, can be worked in front or behind and
is easily placed. It really looks as if the fast daughter
of Sidney Dillon should be one of the sensational trot-
ters of the year. The four year old bay ma
Dillon by Sidney Dillon is a green trotter that will be
heard from. On Monday she stepped a mile in 2:17J
the last half in 1:07, and she does it right The chest-
nut gelding B. S. Dillon 2:25, also bj Sidney Dillon,
i a mile last Friday in 2:13 and can brush a
quarter in 30 seconds. He may face the starter in the
Chamber of Commerce stake at Detroit. Anzella
2:10* by Antrim, has been a mile in 2:14 and has lots
of speed. Sir Albert S. 2:08; has not been asked to
beat 2:20 as yet but is in splendid condition."

Napa's Stake Entries.

Secretary Ed Bell of the Napa Agricultural Society,
sends us the following list of entries for all the stakes
closed by that association for its meeting to begin
August 18th. Mr. Bell states that everything looks
good for a prosperous meeting and the Directors are
much pleased. They wish to call particular attention
to the fact that "in addition to these harness races
closed, they will give some 12 or 14 running races at
their meeting, horses to be named the night before
starting and to pay ten per cent entrance straight."

Do You Want Some of that $6000?

The third payment of $5 each in the Pacific Breed-
ers Futurity Stakes, $6000 guaranteed, for foals of
1902, is due and must be made by July 1st. Nomina-
tors should not fail to make this payment, as not to do
so will forfeit the previous payments. Every foal on
which this payment is made will be worth much more
than it would if it was not kept in the stake and if as
a two year old it shows speed, the fact that it is eligible
to start in the Breeders Stake will multiply its value
according as it is promising. Nominators who entered
in this stake and have been unfortunate in not getting
a foal can substitute or make a transfer of their entry
under the following condition:

"If a mare proves barren, or slips, or has a dead
foal, or twins, or if either the mare or foals dies before
January 2, 1903, her nominator may transfer his nom-
ination or substitute another mare and foal, regardless
of ownership; but there will be no return of a pay-
ment, nor will any entry be liable for more than
amount paid in or contracted for."

Should a nominator have nothing to substitute he
can sell his entry and transfer it to someone who has
a foal and who failed to get in at the time the stake
closed. This should be attended to at once and in the
event of not immediately finding a transfer, it is still
worth while to make the payment, as transfers do not
close until the first of next January and the chances
are that before that time someone will be pleased to
get it and reimburse the nominator for the first, sec-
ond and third payments, the total amount of which
is $13.

Anyone who bred a good mare to a good stallion and
who failed to enter should loss no time in putting in
an application to Secretary Kelley and securing a
transfer before the first of July, as all of those whose
mares foaled will probably make this payment and the
chances of getting in later may be rather slim. A
number of applications are already on hand and those
who have nominations that can be sold under the
above condition will do well to notify the Secretary
without delay, as by doing so they may get a transfer
and a return of the first and second payments.

The Pacific Breeders Futurity Stakes, $6000, guar-
anteed, is one of the best arranged stakes ever offered,
as it provides for both trotters and pacers at both two
and three years old. Two of these stakes have been
closed and it is the intention of the Pacific Coast Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Association to open one every
year. The first stake which closed September 1, 1900,
was for foals of 1901. The two year old division of
this stake will be trotted and paced next year.

Caustic Balsam Successful Where Other Remedies
Failed.

NASHVn,LB*"TBNN., NOV. 12, 1901.

The Laicrence-Williams Co.. Cleveland. 0.:

Having used your liniment for several years, and knowing its
value, I would like to become general agent for it. I find very few
drug houses in Nashville have handled it. I can assure you I will
push it to its fullest merits should you appoint me as agent, for I
know it is unexcelled. I have used at least 20 or 30 bottles in past
two years. Having been a trader, and also a deputy sheriff for the
past eight years, I have had oocasion to come in contact with a
number of injured horses that no other liniment but this could
have helped. I consider it the best liniment for stock that can be
used. I would like to meet you sometime and give you my experi-
ence with your liniment; also can give you reference as to my
ability. JOHN C. SAWYER.

At Santa Rosa Track.

Hambletonian Blood Predominates.

While in all probability the Santa Rosa track will
not be used tor a district fair and race meeting, owing
to the fact that the directors of the association there
have become wedded to the street fair idea, there are
still quite a number of horses being worked at the
track for the races elsewhere. Johnny Quinn has
several of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm's colts and
fillies by Sidney Dillon, McKinney and other sires.
The young stallion Moringa King by McKinney out of
By By by Nutwood is considered one of the handsom-
est horses in Sonoma county, and is showing speed of
a high order. He was given a mark of 2:29} last year
as a three-year-old, simply as a precaution, but it is
no measure of his ability, as 2:15 will not stop him.

Mr. Yandel, the well-known foundryman of Santa
Rosa, has been showing a lot of speed with a hand-
some bay mare by Nassar, son of Stamboul 2:07}. She
is out of a Secretary mare and is considered one of
the best prospects in Santa Rosa. Mr. Yandel drove
her a half in 1:08 the other day, according to reliable
reports, and she trotted perfectly true and square.
She is sixteen hands high, and a great road mare.

F. D. McGregor is working Cock Robin 2:20 and
several others, and Mr. Lumsden is having several
worked.

The Rosedale Stock Farm sold recently to different
parties two full brothers by Daly 2:15, one a yearling,
the other a two-year-old. Both these youDg stallions
are to be kept by their new owners for breeding pur-
poses, and that good judge of a horse, Thos. Bonner,
says they are as near the ideal stock horse as one can
expect to find in colts of their ages. Their dam is
Hazel Turk by Silas Skinner 2:17, second dam the
great broodmare Miss Brown by Volunteer 1758, third
dam Maggie Dale by Owen Dale, son of Williamson's
Belmont. Both will be over 16 hands, large and
handsome, with beautiful manes and tails, and fine
action. On breeding they are in the top row.

Some Telling Figures.

The Blue Ribbon Sale of 1902 at Cleveland has
oassed into history as the most successful horse sale
ever held in that great center of light harness speed.
The detailed report was published two weeks ago, but
contained some slight inaccuracies, which are not
material except in bo far as they affect the general
averages. Through the courtesy of Fasig-Tipton Co.
we are now able to give our readers the correct totals
and averages as follows:

Number

Horses sold. Total. Average.

Mavl3 81 $32,740 $404

May 14 91 *>.510 445

May 15 101 35,720 353

May 16 87 19,085 2H

Total 360 $128,055 $355,70

Last year 346 horses were sold for $97,502, an aver
age of $281.70, so that the average is $74 per head
higher this year than last — a sure sign of the marked
improvement in the market. On the last day's sale
there were a number of post entries not catalogued,
and although they sold well, they were a cheap lot —
and so brought down the day's average. Horses of
equal quality brought as much, if not a little more
money towards the close of the sale than at any other
time; and for horses of a high grade, with speed, the
demand was not nearly satisfied. Three times as
many horses as were catalogued worth from $1500 to
$3000 could have found ready purchasers. The mar-
ket for high-class speed for road, track and matinee is
unusually active and promises to be more so this fall

and next spring.

AU Purses Will Be Paid.

Vancouver, B. C, June 5, 1902.

Ed. Breeder and Sportsman— Several of the
secretaries of North Pacific Fair Association members,
have advised me that in some of the letters of inquiry
received from California horse owners a fear is ex-
pressed that at some of the points on the circuit the
purses will either be declared off or considerably
reduced in amount, permit me to state that such will
not in any case be permitted or practiced. Article 14
of the Constitution of the North Pacific Fair Circuit
is as follows— "That all races advertised by a member,
should a sufficiency of duly entered horses attend,
shall be decided, and that no deductions from Buch
purse or deviation from the value thereof shall be
made, weather conditions alone excepted."

The early closing harness stakes throughout the cir-
cuit have received a very liberal entry, and as in a
short time the associations will all have their full
programs in the hands of the owners, a very large
exodus of horses to our various points may be confi-

Idently anticipated. By inserting this letter you will
greatly oblige, Yours truly,

Robert Leighton,

A thoughtful article in the New York Hernld tends
to show that all trotters soon will trace to Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, whose blood is fast supplanting that of
other tribes. No horse of any breed, in any country,
at any period, has left such an impression in so short
a time. All champions but one since Dexter's day
have carried Hambletonian 's blood. He has 135 de-
scendants in the 2:10 list. There are only three trot-
ters of this extreme speed that do not trace to the
great performer. The article reads as follows:

So much is heard in the horse talk of to-day about
Baron Wilkes, Chimes, Allerton and other popular
trotting sires, and the name of Rysdyk's Hambletonian
is so rarely mentioned, that comparatively few horse- '
men of the rising generation realize the extent to
which the blood of the "old horse" abounds in the
fastest performers on the turf.

Although David Bonner and many others who are
still hale and hearty can remember when Hambletonian
was unknown, and though little more than a quarter
of a century has gone by since he died, the great mass
of all the trotters now living have more or less of his
blood in their veins.

The family which he founded so far overshadows all
others that the tribes springing from Mambrino Chief,
Ethan Allen, George M. Patohen and other contem-
poraries of Hambletonian are now generally referred
to as "the minor trotting families." They are falling
further to the rear in the records of each succeeding
campaign, and are fast dropping out of sight. So
high an authority as John H. Wallace, the founder of
the Trotting Register, says the time is close at hand
when every American trotter of note will be credited
in some degree to the one really great progenitor,
Hambletonian.

No horse of aDy breed in this or any other country
has at any period left such an impression on the horse
stock in so short a time.

Foaled in 1849, at the little village of Sugar Loaf, in
Orange county, N. Y., and got by an old horse so little
valued that his inhuman owners turued him out to
starve to death on the sandy wastes of Long Island in
1852, from a broken down New York road mare, Ham-
bletonian began his career as an obscure cross roads
stud horse, not recognized as belonging to any partic-
ular breed. Jonas Seely,the old Bull's Head cattle
driver, who bred him, sold colt and dam for $125 in
the fall of 1849 to William M. Rysdyk, then a farm
hand in Seely's employ.

So late as 1857, when Henry William Herbert (Frank
Forester) published his elaborate work on the horse
and horsemanship of America, Hambletonian was still
so little known that his name did no.t get into the
book, although he was then, and from his birth had
been, owned in the next county but one from the spot
where Herbert wrote these words:

"Of trotters it is now certain there is no distinctive
breed or family or mode of breeding. The qualities
of the trotting horse cannot be ascribed to his origin
from connection with any one blood more than another.
Some trotters of first rate powers come from Canadian
or Norman French stock; some from ordinary undis-
tinguished country horses; some from the Vermont
family; some from the Indian pony, and some mainly,
if not entirely, from the thoroughbred."

It was not until 1862 that the great son of Tred wells
Abdallah and the Charles Kent mare gained a reputa-
tion sufficient to justify William M. Rysdyk in raising
his stud fee above $35. Robert Fillingham, afterward
known as George Wilkes 2:22, was the trotter that
earned it for him. In that year "Eph" Simmons
matched this son of Hambletonian against the famous
Ethan Allen for $5000 a side, and won a great race
over the Fashion course, on Long Island, giving his
young horse a mark of 2:24|, which was then surpassed
only by George M. Patchen's champion stallion record
of 2:23}.

Dexter, by Hambletonian, began his brilliant career
in 1864. Shark, another son of Hambletonian, that
once defeated Dexter, came out in the same year. The
season brought to the front Goldsmith Maid, by a son
of the Rysdyk horse, and with all four of these great
trotters going at once the Hambletonian boom began.
Beginning with the advent of George Wilkes in 1862,
his stud fee jumped to $75, and then to $100, $300 and
$500 in successive seasons, and his colts commanded
prices until then unheard of for horses of any type in
America.

Hambletonian died in 1876, leaving about 1333 foals,
all told. Forty of them gained trotting records of
2:30 or better. One hundred and fifty of his sons got
1478 trotters of standard speed, and eighty of his
daughters produced 110 trotters in the 2:30 list. In
the succeeding generations, the achievments of the
family are still more remarkable, and it is estimated
that nearly if not quite 15,000 of the 17,625 trotters
now in the 2:30 list are descended from the " old hero
of Chester," through either sire or dam, or both.

Since Dexter's day, every trotter save one that has
lowered the world's record has carried the blood of
Hambletonian. The exception is Rarus 2:13}, whose
sire was of unknown breeding. In the list of cham-
pions, Goldsmith Maid 2:14; St. Julien 2:115; Jay-Eye-
See 2:10; Maud S. 2:08}; Suool 2:08} and Nancy Hanks
2:04, were the offspring of Hambletonian's sons, and
the last named record holder was not only by a son of
Hambletonian, but from a mare that was by another
Bon of the old horse. Alix 2:03J, was the only cham-
pion since Hambletonian's time that wasnot descended
from him in the direct male line. She, however, had
more crosses to the Rysdyk horse than any other
champion in the lot, her sire being closely inbred to
the great fountain head of trotting speed, while her
dam was by a grandson of that horse.

All of the champion trotting stallions of the last
twenty-five years have traced through one or more
lines to Hambletonian, and all except Nelson 2:09, were
his lineal descendants in the male line. This is true,
also of the young trotters that during this period have
advanced the best time on record for yearlings from
2:40 to 2:23; for two year olds from 2:40 to 2:10}; for
three year olds from 2:29 to 2:08}, and for four year
olds from 2:24 to 2:05}.

Perhaps no other test is so convincing of the great-
ness of Hambletonian as the test of the 2:10 list. This
is the rate of speed now recognized as representing the
capacity required to win races at the most important
trotting meetings, and unless a horse can reach it he
is no longer to be considered as a trotter of extreme
speed.

At the close of the campaign of 1901, 138 trotters had
earned records of 2:10 or better. Of this number no
less than 135 traced to Hambletonian, Grace Hastings
2:08; Lord Clinton 2:08| and Walter E. 2:10 being the
only trotters in the list that were without his blood.

The all prevailing dominance of the Hambletonian
male line comes out strikingly when the blood lines of
the sires of 2:10 trotters are analyzed. Only seven
horses not possessing Hambletonian blood ever got a
2:10 trotter. These were Mambrino King, the sire of
Lord Derby 2:061; Hamlin's Nightingale 2:08 and Dare-
devil 2:09; Bayonne Prince, the sire of Grace Hastings
2:08}; Walker's Morrill, the sire of Lamp Girl 2:09;
Young Rolfe, the sire of Nelson 2:09; Patchen Mam-
brino, the sire of Walter E. 2:10, and Governor Ben-
ton, the sire of Benton M. 2:10. Of all the trotters in
the 2:10 list, 121 were got by sires descended from
Hambletonian in the direct male line.

In the early days of the Hambletonian family vari-
ous outcrosses had their periods of popularity. All
the old-time horsemen will remember the rage for
Hambletonian-Star blood which followed the appear,
ance of the immortal Dexter, whose dam was a
daughter of Seely's American Star. Then came the
cross of Hambletonian and Clay blood, made popular
by St. Julien 2:11}, George Wilkes, Electioneer and
other stars of the turf and the stud. The Hamble-
tonian and Mambrino Chief combination had its day
of unequalled fashion, and the sensational perform-
ances »f Maud S. and Jay Eye See, both by sons of
Hambletonian from daughtersof Pilot Jr. gavea boom
to this mixture of trotting blood in the early eighties.
Judged by the cold statistics of the 2:10 list, none
of these crosses equals in fruitfulness inbreeding to
Hambletonian. The most successful horsemen have
doubled and redoubled in their studs the blood of the
world famous trotting progenitor, and the greatest of
trotters have resulted from this course. Cresceus
2:02}, the champion of champions, traces to him
through both sire and dam, as did Alix 2:03}, and
Nancy Hanks 2:04, the champion of a few years ago.
The extent to which the great trotters of to-day are
inbred to the horse that made Orange county famous
will probably surprise even the closest students of
breeding who examine the records. A careful scrutiny
of the 2:10 list reveals the fact that 102 horses out of a
total of 138 have two ore more crosses to Hambletonian.
Many of these are intensely inbred. Boralma 2:07, for
example, traces to Hambletonian through seven differ-
ent lines. ^___

Painted Horse Recognizes His Master.

William Ganusky stole a white faced horse from a
man for whom he worked last winter, at Little Falls,
New York. He painted the horse's white face with
hair dye to conceal its identity and the disguise was so
successful that Ganusky was not suspected, although
a search had been going on for the horse for three
months.

James Marsh, owner of the horse, passed the animal
where he was hitched in the street, and it showed
such signs of recognition and joy at seeing him that
Mr. Marsh'B attention was attracted. He looked the
horse over and recognized it as his own, although he
could not account for the loss of its white face. He
notified the police and after Ganusky was arrested he
confessed to the theft and the hair dye expedient.

A THOUSAND DOLLAR PURSE is offered by the
Vancouver Jockey Club for the fourth Dominion
Day Handicap, a race for all ages at a mile and a
quarter. The purses for the two days' racing at Van-
couver, July 1st and 2d, under the auspices of this
club, aggregate nearly $3000. Entries close June 25th
for races No. 1, 5 and 7, and on June 28th for the
outers. See the entire program in our advertising
columns to-day.

meeting a success and pleasant for horsemen who
attend. "Purses will be paid promptly after each
race" is the announcement made, and Secretary Main
should get a large entry list. Entries close Monday
next, June: 15th. Let every horBe owner get in and
give San Jose ^ boost this year. The meeting takes
place during the National holiday week, when every-
body can get away from business for a few days and
haye a goojl time.

MR. JOHN H. SHULTZ, the wealthy New York
horse breeder, has had very bad luck with his
foals this season at his Port Chester farm. No less than
seventeen foals have died this year, among them
Sunol's foal by The Earl 2:17, son of Mambrino King.
As this great mare's foal of 1901 by Oro Wood also
died, she is now without a descendant. She is sixteen
years old and it is to be hoped that hereafter better
lui/k will attend her offspring.

LJUMANE OWNERS of horses in the interior#of
' A this State where the days are hot during the
summer months, and the sun shines all day unobscured
by a cloud, are adopting the Eastern fashion of fitting
their horses with summer bonnets. A Redding paper
states that the idea has become so popular that there
is hardly a horse drawing an express, delivery, bag-
gage or other wagon about town, which does not now
wear a hat. Even here in San Francisco, where the
hot days in each year may be rounted on the fingers,
the horse hat, is coming in vogue and a number of
teamsters have fitted their horses with them.

THE FIRST MEETING of the year will be held at
the San Jose track during Judy 3d, 4th and 5th.
There are nine purses of $500 each for trotters and
pacers and classes have been arranged so as to give
everybody a chance. San Jose, as everybody knows,
has one of the best and safest tracks in California and
the new Board of Directors of the district agricultural
society will do everything in their power to i.iake the

THE WAGON RECORD is in danger this year, as
several of the wealthy Easterners are desirous of
establishing a new one for both trotters and pacers.
Mr. C. K. G. Billings of Chicago, who owns more fast
horses than any amateur in America, drove his horse
Dr. Monical a mile in 2:095 to wagon at New York the
other day, which is the fastest mile a pacer has shown
to wagon so far this year. On the same day he drove
his pacer Hontas Crook a mile to wagon in 2:11',, and
hi9 trotting mare Louise Jefferson 2:17], a mile to
wagon in 2:11. These are fast miles with four wheels
for this season of the year.

FAST MILES are being shown on workout days at
every California track where horses are in train-
ing. There will be considerable speed shown in the
races this summer, but some that are showing so well
now will be on the shelf by the time the bell rings.
California tracks get hard very quickly after the rainy
season ends, and before trainers realize it the horses
are hammering the soundness out of their legs and
feet. Plenty of water is needed on all California
tracks during the summer season to make them suit-
able for training purposes. When tho day of racing
comes it is well enough to have a hard track, but until
that time horses worked on a soft track will be in
better shape to win when the heats are split. Where
water is scarce the tracks are sometimes harrowed
deeply to prevent their getting hard, but in this
climate the dust soon gets so unbearable that trainers
choose the hard track instead of the dusty one as the
lesser of two evils. We suggest to associations that
desire to maintain a good reputation for their tracks
as training places, that they be generous with water
from now on and not simply sprinkle the surface, but
soak the track well and not harrow too deeply. The
more sound horses there are by August 1st, the larger
fields there will be in the races, and large fields help
to draw large crowds and are conducive to surcess in
many ways.

uTHE CIRCUIT LOOKS GOOD" says every
1 horseman who has heard how the early closing
purses for the Napa and Fresno meetings filled. Napa
averaged ten to a race, having eighty entries for eight
purses. The complete list is published to-day and
nearly all the best trotters and pacers in California
are named. With the local district purses these races
will furnish three days of high class -port for harness
horse owners and then the track will be given to the
runners for two days. The Napa association proposes
to hang up good money for the runners and charge
them ten per cent entrance. The entry list for The
California, the $2000 stake for 2:24 class trotters offered
by the P. C. T. H. B. A., is a revelation to those
who get up programs for race meetings. It has
twenty-two entries, and a well posted horseman who
has been around the State a good deal this spring
states that in his opinion nearly every one of the
twenty two will be ready to start when the bell rings,
barring accidents in the meantime, and that it will be
one of the greatest races ever held in California. Sec-
ond money will be as good in this race as first money
in the best of the others that have been announced so
far. There are a few free-for-all trotters and pacers
in California for which there may not be racing, owing
to the fact that they are not numerous enough to fill a
race. We think associations should recognize the fast
ones if possible and that special effort should be made
to secure a free-for-all pace at least, as the California
record might belowered were thebestof them brought
together in a race. Here is an opportunity for some
enterprising organization to secure a drawing card for
its fair, and a little energetic hustling amoDg owners
would accomplish it.

Answers to Correspondents.

W. J. E., Fortuna, Cal. — The mare you refer to is
not Belle King, but Belle, and her record is 2:11 pac-
ing. She is a chestnut mare foaled 1887, and is by
Melbourne King 1962, dam Mattie by All Right. She
is a registered mare and her pedigree will be found in
Volume IX of the American Trotting Register. Her
record of 2:11 was made at Los Angeles, October 17th,
1896, in a race for trotters and pacers. Hazel H. won
the first and second heats in 2:15and,2:l3i. Belle took
the next three in 2:121,2:11 and 2:11. The trotters
Altao, Frank L. and Toggles were the other starters
in this race.

BREEDING OF Rosette. — In our last week's issue
in this department we gave the breeding of the mare,
Rosette, owned by Mr. Frank Denio of Vallejo, in
which it was stated that her second dam was Ruth
Ryan by Lodi, which is as it appeared in a tabulated
pedigree in our possession. Mr. Geo. Bement who
bred Rose by General Taylor, the dam of Rosette,
writes us as follows in which he states that the second
dam of the mare was Rose Ryan and not Ruth Ryan,
and knowing Mr. Bement as we do, we are certain
that his statement is correct. His letter is as follows:
MELROSE, June 9, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: A few days
ago I received a letter from Mr. F. M. Denio of Vallejo,
in regard to a gray mare I bred, and afterwards waB
owned by Mr. G. W. Hill. He writes, "she was a gray
mare out of a General Taylor mare, her dam was Ruth
Ryan, so I was informed by Mr. Hill." This is a mis-
take, as General Taylor never served Ruth Ryan who
was a thoroughbred by Lodi and bred and owned by
the late Nathan Coombs The gray mare Mr. Hill
owned, was by General Taylor out of Rose Ryan, a
mare that was brought from Michigan and said to be
sired by a Black Hawk stallion and out of a thorough-
bred mare and driven with Punch as a livery team by
Roe Allen. They could trot together in about three
minutes. I got her from Roe and bred her to General
Taylor and raised two fillies from her. The one Mr.
Hill had was named Spitfire and she is probably the
dam of Rosette — and to my certain knowledge, Ruth
Ryan is not her second dam. As I wrote before, Gen-
eral Taylor was never bred to her. Yours truly,

Geo. Bement.

The Carr Sale.

Letters of inquiry and applications for catalogues
are coming in from all parts of the Pacific Coast to
Fred H. Chase & Co., successor to Killip & Co., live-
stock auctioneers, who are getting ready for the des-
per9al sale of Hon. Jesse D. Carr's horses on the Gabi-
lan Stock Farm. The sale is to be held at 1732 Mar-
ket street, corner of Van Ness avenue, where millions
of dollars worth of horses and other live-stock have
changed hands during the past twenty years.

Those who read over the catalogue will be surprised
at the number of choicely bred mares and fillies that
are to be offered for sale. There are quite a number
by Carr's Mambrino, a son of Mambrino Patehen,
and many of these are out of mares by Williamson's
Belmont and his son Owen Dale. Some are by Ante-
volo, son of Electioneer and the great Columbine,
some by Boodle 2:J2}, some by Ecce 15993, a son of
Eclectric full brother to the renowned champion Arion
2:07J, and some are by Eugeneer, a son of Electioneer.
There are colts and fillies by Boodle, Jr., 34834. A
majority of the aged mares are standard and regis-
tered and all are in splendid condition. Some of the
young foals at their sides are worth more than the
mares will probably be sold for. It will be one of the
best opportunities ever offered to get high class stock
at auction. Send to Fred H. Chase & Co., 1732 Market
street for a catalogue.

Cresceus' Owner Clears $142,000.

Lee M. Boda. manager of the Valentine Theatre,
Toledo, the Great Southern, Columbus, the Victoria,
Dayton and the English Opera House, Indianapolis,
reached New York last Monday, says the New York
Telegraph, and anchored at the Navarre in Seventh
avenue.

He is here to arrange with Messrs. Klaw & ErlaDger
for the season's bookings at his theatres for next sea-
son and to look after the interests of Creaceus, the
world's champion stallion.

George H. Ketcham, his owner, and Mr. Boda, the
manager, handle the famous stallion the tame as if he
were a capricious star of the footlights. They play
him at State and county fairs and race meets on a big
percentage basis.

They send out an advance agent to each place.
This man's duty it is to visit sporting instead of
dramatic editors, and he is equipped with all kinds of
photos of the famous Cresceus breaking records at
various tracks, and in several heart breaking heat
finishes in races in which two or more speedeis have
participated.

Boda says Cresceus' enterprising owner and driver
cleared $142,000 last season, with never a kick from
the star performer as to the size of type in advertise-
ments, hotel or dressing room accommodations.

It is the intention to send. Cresceus on a rather com-
prehensive tour of the west and south this summer
and fall and wind up the season with him late in
November at a big meeting to be held in Havana,
Cuba.

On a hot day drink Jackson's Napa Soda lemonade

Breeder and Sportsman: My colt by Athadon,
dam Lustrine by Onward, is meeting- with much favor
since his arrival and don"t look like the same colt after
getting; the al.'alfa out of him. I have bred him to
three good mares, one by Don Marvin, one by Holm-
Del, one by a son of Sidney. I also have an offer to
bring him to Oakland and mate him with three of as
good mares as there are in Alameda county.

I do not know of any driving horses for sale at this
place. My friend, Mr. Brown, from San Francisco,
was looking: for a good driver bnt could not find it
here.

The horses at the track are looking fine and moving
up some. Hi Hogaboom has a fine young pacer by
Gossiper out of a Patchen mare that is headed for the
2:15 list.

S. V. Tryon has a large string and some very
promising pacers are among them and they look in
the pink of perfection.

Chris. Jorgensen can be seen at any time behind
some good colts that he is learning good manners and
to drive in fine shape.

Sam Hoy has a string that you know and they are
ready now for hard work, and to see them move re-
minds one of old times.

Mr. Clark has Ouiboul here and a few others in fine
shape.

S. V. Mitchell has four good young horses; one by
Zombro, one by Bay Bird and one by Kentucky Baron.

OI course the usual lot of hot air is spilt every Sun-
day, but out of it comes some good. There are a
number of runners quartered here and the track is in
better fix and puts on a better appearance than it has
for some time. Sacramento has more good sound
driving horses than any city in California, even on its
mail wagons, which is an exception.

Mrs. Callendine has a show horse sure in the colt by
Nutwood Wilkes out of Lady Keating.

I forgot to say in the above, that my colt can not
trot fast enough to keep him warm under the saddle,
but I live in hopes that he may cut loose some day
and surprise ub.

Editor American Sportsman — Please publish above
sale notice and save other speed hunters who want a
2:20 horse for $125. The enclosed "ad" is taken from
a Pittsburg Sunday paper. I noticed it last Sunday
week, May 25th. So, bright and early I was up and
ready to take the first train for Philadelphia on Mon-
day morning. I telegraphed "Phenlon Realty Co."
to meet me. I arrived in the Quaker City about 8:30
P. M. Monday. Was met at the depot by two men
who was to show me "Sidney Boy." So I went with
them. I must have walked five or six miles. It was
quite dark when we came to a very quiet alley. I at
first hesitated about going up, when one of them said,
"Just wait here and I will go up and bring the horse
from the barn." We waited perhaps twenty minutes
when the man with me said, "There may be something
wrong. We had not gone more than 200 feet when I
was hit on the back of the head with a billy or club,
and the man who was with me caught me by the neck
with one hand and pointed a big revolver at me with
the other, and told me if I made any outcry it was
sure death. They took my watch, $163 and a ring
that I prized more than anything because it belonged
to my dead wife. Fortunately I had a return ticket
or T would have had to walk home. I mentioned the
way I was treated to some of my Pittsburg friends,
and the only consolation I received was, I got just
what I deserved, for hunting a 2:20 horse for $125.

Training Hints-

Young trainers, like young men in all other kinds of
business, are often inclined to look upon successful old-
time trainers as "gone-bys, " and ignore their advice,
says the Sorse Breeder. They sometimes make ex-
pensive mistakes in doing so. It takes years of experi-
ence to learn everything pertaining to the development
of speed ; the proper conditioning the animals for doing
their best in races, the proper care of them at all
times and the proper shoeing of them to enable them
to show their highest rate of speed, and keep up the
clip from wire to wire in races of broken heats. No
two horses are exactly alike, and the method of treat-
ment best adapted to one horse must be varied to meet
the requirements of others. The successful trainers,
who have had years of experience with all kinds of
horses, can give the best of the younger progressive
trainers valuable information upon many points,
especially in regard to conditioning and shoeing their
horses.

Most of the young trainers don't think so, however,
especially if they happen to meet with success. They
are apt to think that they know it all, and that the
veteran trainers are "old fogies, "set in their opinions,
and their opinions and suggestions of no value. These
comparatively young trainers sometimes take offense
even feel insulted, when a veteran trainer makes a
suggestion or a suggestive remark concerning the
method of the young trainer in fitting a horse for a
race, when the remark or suggestion is made with the
best intentions. A case in point is that of a successful
but comparatively young trainer who was putting the
finishing touches on a horse about a week before the
horse was to start in an important race. The horse
was worked five heats, two right around 2:17 and one
in about 2:16. The veteran trainer happened to be at
the track and saw the horse take his final preparation.
After the last heat the old-timer was at the stable
where the horse was brought to be unharnessed. A
friend of the trainer who had worked the horse asked
the veteran what he thought of the horse's chances of
winning.

"When does this race come off?"

"One week from to-day."

"How fast will we have to go to win?"

"Possibly 2:16."

"He worked in 2:16 to-day?"

"Yes."

"He pleased you, didn't ho? Went easily, well
within himself?"

"Oh, yes."

"Well, if they go in 2:16 in a week from to-day he
will be very lucky if he gets fourth money, and will be
lucky if he does not finish behind the flag."

"lam going to make a note of that, " replied the
questioner, laughing, "and we shall know after the
race how nearly your prediction is to the truth. ' '

"Very well. Put it down in black and white."

The best time made in the race was about 2:18, and
the horse that had worked three heats in 2:18 or
better, one of them in about 2:16, failed to get any
part of the money. The experience of the old trainer
convinced him that the horse was on edge the day he
got his work, one week before the race, and it would
take more than a week to get him back to that form
again. He was right, too, but the trainer of the horse
and those interested in him did not realize it until
after the race was over, and then probably thought
the horse had taken cold.

On another occasion the same old trainer went out
to the track to work out a horse that was to start the
following week. It was an extremely hot day, the
first really sizzling one of the season. The mercury
was hovering around 100 degrees in the shade. The
old trainer decided not to work his horse that day.
A young trainer who was located at the track had a
fast horse that was to start the following week. He
thought he must work his horse out to key him up
for his race. He put a heavy woolen hood on the
horse and worked him five heats. When he drove to
his stall to unharness after the fifth heat, the old timer
was there. After looking the horse over, he remarked
pleasantly and with not the slightest idea of giving
offense:

"Young man, this is a terribly hot day. I am afraid
you won't be able to get that horse to the races this
year."

The trainer showed plainly by his manner that he
did not relish the remarks of the veteran. After the
latter had left, he said to the groom: "These old fel-
lows make me tired. They think they know it all.
They don't seem to realize that the world moves."

The horse that was worked in the heat lost bis ap-
petite at once. His legs tilled, and his heels soon
cracked open. He had to be sent home. He did not
start that year, and we believe that he was never
heard from afterwards.

The methods of training, feeding and blanketing
have changed considerably during the past thirty-

years, but the men who were successful trainers twenty-
five or thirty years ago, and have followed the races
ever since, can give the young trainers of the present
day many valu ble points that they have gained from
personal experience and observation. It is best not to
turn a deaf ear to their suggestions. Every trainer
will learn something new from his own experience each
year of his life, and should be able to profit by the
experience of others as well as his own. It is safer to
give a horse too little than too much work, especially
when the weather suddenly changes from cold to ex-
treme heat.

Use of Bandages.

Bandages applied loosely over a layer of cotton bat-
ting for one hour after severe work support' the small
blood vessels and absorbents in and underneath the
skin, and prevent filling and stiffness, says the Horsi
Breeder. If allowed to remain on longer they have the
opposite effect from what is desired. After the band-
ages have been on for one hour, they should be re-
moved and each leg briskly hand-rubbed for five
minutes. This will do more good, by exciting the
absorbents to act, than four hours pressure on band-
ages, which will do more harm than good. Bandaging
the legs would not prevent laminitis. That is the re-
sult of a predisposition to rheumatism and also from
not properly cooling the horse out. It is not nec-
essary to walk a horse out after being jogged, only
after a work-out. After a horse has been given a
fast work-out or fast heat in a race and he is very
warm and perspiring freely you must cool his head off
at once by sponge and cold water, so as to change the
current of blood away from the brain, otherwise he
might have a hemorrhage from a rupture of the small
blood vessels in the head. If, after the finish of a
heat, the horse does not perspire freely, he must be
sponged all over with hot water, covered with blankets,
and be walked until he sweats very freely, and great
care must be exercised in cooling him out. The sur-
face of the body must always be kept very warm and
dried very slowly. He may have plenty of cold water,
but very little at a time, and while being cooled out, a
little hay also. He must not be fed grain until he is
perfectly cool.

Minnesota State Fair Races.

The Minnesota State Fair stands to-day the cham-
pion State Fair of America. For several seasons this
fair has excelled all competitors but last year in the
point of receipts, exhibits and attendance it excelled
all the state fairs of the country.

The race program for the Minnesota State Fair is a
most liberal one, $20,000 being given for eleven races
during the week. Of this amount $10,000 is given for
two $5000 purse events for the 2:21 trotters aud the
2:13 pacers respectively, $9000 paid out for nine class
events and the runners are provided with races each
day in addition. The program is given in full in this
issue and for entry blanks and other information the
secretary, E. W. Randall, Hamline, Minn., should be

addressed.

Fighting Power ot Animals.

The comparative fighting powers of different ani-
mals can only be seen when they have actually been
pitted against each other, and such encounters are not
common, except when one forms the prey of the other.
But there are sufficient instances of battles between
rival carnivora to give material for an estimate.

In the pitched battles which sometimes take place
between the great carnivora and the largest and most
powerful of the ox tribe the forces of animal courage,
desperation and bodily strength must be exhibited on a
scale never elsewhere seen. Such combats do occur,
but have seldom beeen witnessed, and still less fre-
quently described.

Two or three African lions sometimes combine in
such an attack, but from the marks seen on buffalo it
is probable that sometimes there is a single combat,
for it can hardly be supposed that the buffalo could
escape from more than one lion. The number of foot
pounds of energy put into such a struggle must be
something extraordinary. The efforts of a Hon which
can strike a man's arm from the shoulder and leave it
hanging by a strip of skin, or which can carry a cow
over a high stockade, endeavoring unsuccessfully, in
close grips, to drag down or disable a buffalo bull,
must be on a gigantic scale, and the strength which
can •hake him off, and as it is believed, occasionally
crush the lion afterward, must be even more amazing.

What a study in muscular action and the propelling
or striking forces of limbs, neck and feet such a com-
bat must exhibit. A buffalo bull has been credited
with engaging three lions in mortal combat, and mak-
ing a good fight before he was disabled by one of the
lions hamstringing him by biting his legs from behind.

Tradition has it that a figtu between a grizzly and
a bison bull was one of those rare combats worth tak-
ing many chances to observe. In our own State bat-
tles royal have not been infrequent between ursus
horribilis and a wild bull, the gallant leader of one of
the many herds that in the days of early California
roamed the grazing lands of the State. In both styles
of combat, the grizzly is reputed to have generally
been the victor.

Real combats of giants, thought not of such a des-
perate and deadly kind as these fights between the
great carnivora and the bovines. are the combats of
the hippopotami. The gigantic size and huge mouths
of these creatures, larger than those of any mammal
but the whale, and armed with teeth and tusks larger
than those of whales, are elements in the fighting not
equalled by any other pitched battles in the animal
world. An elephant fight is carried on with far less
formidable weapons, so long as the creatures meet
only face to face.

The results of fights between wild animals in captiv-
ity are only partial evidences of the prowess of the
respective combatants, because there is, as a rule, not
sufficient room on the battle grounds for the display
of activity or resource. But the list of accidental
combats, which grows as menageries become more
numerous, suggest that the battle is not always to the
strong.

In a Continental collection a fight took place recently
between a polar bear and an Indian sloth bear. The
advantage in size and activity was so far on the side of
the white bear that the result of the fight was some-
what unexpected. The smaller and awkward sloth
bear killed the white bear without difficulty, and
suffered very little itself, to the surprise of those who
witnessed the "mill." Lookers-on are perhaps apt to
underrate the physical effort which', any Kind of a
combat at close quarters involves. But, however, it
can be said of most animal combats that the principals
generally fight for all they are worth. But, in excep-
tion, it must be admitted that the combats of deer
have a good deal of sham about them. Fallow bucks
will go on stupidly pushing at each other and clashing
their horns for two or three hours at a time, neither
being any the worse afterward. Red deer, which
have pointed antlers, and can kill a dog, and injure
and probably kill a man, seldom seem to hurt one an-
other with their horns, though the struggle looks
terrific.

Among the few instances recorded of the death of a
Btag in such an encounter was that of a red deer at
Powerscourt, England. It was killed by a hybrid
stag, a cross between the red species and the Japanese
deer introduced into the wild park by the Dargle. In
this case the horns of the hybrid were of quite a differ-
ent kind from those carried by the red stag, which
enabled it to get inside the other's guard and pierce
its skull.

Among the antelopes there is one species, the sable
antelope, which is not only a bold fighter In self-
defense, but has devised a system quite as ingenious as
as those taught in schools of arms. It has very long,
pointed horns bending backward. If wounded or
attacked by dogs it lies down, thus protecting all the
exposed under parts, but abandoning apparently both
the power of movement and the advantage of height.
But by swinging its neck or tossing its head it can
cover its whole body by strokes of its powerful and
sharp horns, just as a fencer covers the body with his
foil. This antelope is credited with the ability to kill
any dog which attacks it in this position, which it
probably also adopts when defending itself against
wild animals.

The bravest and undoubtedly the fiercest fighter is
the Bulldog or Bull Terrier. Tradition and popular

opinion are quite correct in the estimate made of them,
and breeders both of Greyhounds and other sporting
dogs who wished to strengthen the courage and fibre
of their dogs have given practical effect to it by cross-
ing with the Bulldog.

Mr. Saunderson, a hunterof elephant catching fame,
had a mixed pack of dogs, which he taught to attack
big game. To these he added some Bulldogs. The
older dogs always caught their game, if possible, by
the nose, and would hold on whether the animal ran
or stopped. One was;carried several hundred yards by
a buffalo without letting go, and three would render a
large bear helpless.

The most astonishing feat achieved by these Bull-
dogs, so the story goes, was that one, alone, caught a
wild elephant. It was a young one, which the Bulldog
seized by the root of the trunk, and held on until the
animal was overtaken and roped by the men. The
success of the Bulldog in these encounters with large
animals is the more remarkable because it is so light
in comparison with the creatures attacked that shock
does not assist it in any degree. But it counter-
balances this disadvantage by attacking the muzzle,
where what weight it basis most effective, both in
aiding the attack and in embarassing its opponent
when seized.

The sagacity and fighting qualities of the monkey
tribe is here aptly illustrated. The third battalion of
the West Surrey regiment on their return from two
years of field service in South Africa brought with
them as a soldier's pet, a tame baboon, which had
joined them from the Nieuwveld mountains, affording
a gratifying instance of loyalty among the original in-
habitants of that part of Cape Colony, as Tommy At-
kins puts it. The animal was so well able to take care
of itself that, though frequently attacked by dogs, it
always beat them in single combat, and once, when
chased by a pack of nearly twenty, it succeeded,
according to a regimental report of the row, in "best-
ing them at all quarters."

For their size baboons and some of the variors ma-
caque monkeys are probably the most formidable
fighters in the animal world, except the cat tribe.
This is the more remarkable because these powers are
not developed "professionally." They do not use
violence to obtain their food, and only employ their
extraordinary quickness and powers of biting in self-
defense. Those who have seen them attacked by dogs
say that they never lose their heads, and that they
can spring in any direction from a sitting position and
inflict a disabling bite with absolutely no indication
that they mean to take the offensive,

The other tales of fighting monkeys are also cor-
roborative of the simian tribes' abilities to take care
of themselves in a scrimmage.

A baboon kept in Cape Town would gather up In
one hand the long chain by which he was taken out
for walks or tied to a wagon, and so appear to be in
close captivity as he went along the road. This would
tempt the local dogs to make demonstrations within
range, when the baboon would fling down the chain,
spring on to the nearest dog and nearly bite his
foot off.

A small monkey, weighing only twelve pounds, used
to be backed to fight dogs in Birmingham. It always
won against dogs of twice its own weight.

From the foregoing it will be easy to draw the con-
clusion that brains, with animals as with human be-
ings, prove of more value than mere size or strength.
Monkeys think and in fights with dogs seem to win,
without much danger to themselves. A bull or buffalo
will charge with head down and eyes closed, when
worried or attacked by a Bulldog. The dog will seize
its big adversary by the muzzle and worry the beast
into giving up the combat. When the big animals
come together it is generally a question of weight,
strength and punishing powers, as well as gameness
and staying qualities.

Stonehenge vs. Some Field Trial Setters.

At our recent bench show we saw some English
Setters weighing thirty and thirty-five pounds — one, a
field trial winner, the handler informed us, weighed
but twenty-eight pounds. There is a growing ten-
dency on the part of some sportsmen to breed light
Setters and Pointers. In doing this we believe a g rave
mistake has been made. So far as intelligence and
" bird sense" is concerned, these light weights are
apparently high-class dogs. In other respects they
are wanting materially. The plea is made that a big
dog is in its own way, is lumbering and clumsy and
will wear itself out. The happy medium desired is a
combination of brains, weight and conformation that
will give a maximum of results by the expenditure of
a minimum quantity of energy; just sufficient to make
the dog a racing machine for the time beiDg. This is
certainly a commendable desire, but experience has
proven that the price paid is not worth the sacrifice.
These canine automobiles are created on such an
ethereal structure that the dogs deemed worth giving
a field training are nearly all bundles of highly ten-
sioned nerves. This combination of snap and speed
enables the handlers to bringoff some very sensational
grand stand heats at field trials. As dogs of this class,
in many cases, bring good prices from wealthy fanciers,
there is unfortunately a tendency to keep the supply
equal to the demand.

When field dogs, particularly English Setters, are
bred so that the essential qualities of stamina, vitality
and structure are condensed or toned down, then the
day of the Setter, as a working field dog, will be
numbered and the decadence of the breed will com-
mence.

We have many good English Setters on the Coast,
strong, lusty, lasting workers and handsome, typical
dogs as well — not cart horses for size, be it understood.
There is no reason why these splendid specimens
should be sidetracked or overlooked in following a
fancy of emasculation, often catered to and fostered by
ignorant and irresponsible writers in our daily papers,
the only interest these individuals have in the matter
being the filling of space with a lot of sensational and
misleading dribble, or the temporary patronage of the
well endowed sportsman — and oftentimes this latter
gentleman is a good natured, whole souled easy going
fellow who has been known to take bo much interest
in a field trial, for instance, that he would turn over
his dog or dogs to a trainer, get his gun and ammuni-
tion together and spend the day quail shooting, await-
ing the daily newspaper reports for a fulsome account
of his dog's performances in the field trials.

While this may be ail right from an individual
standpoint, it is all wrong when dogs under such
auspices are heralded as criterions and lauded as model
field and working dogs.

At the Santa Maria field trials last January several
of the high class chasers were pumped out completely
at the end of a single comparatively short heat, show-
ing marked inability to perform an honest day's work,
on birds, in the field with the gun.

The illustration may not be far fetched in referring
to the death of the English Setter Sioux, whose death
was due to the exposure and hard work gone through
in the championship stake race with Clip Wind 'em.
The weather and conditions were harsh in the ex-
treme, so much so, that Wind'em, it was reported,
after a two hours and thirty-four minutes run, gave up.
Sioux, game, high-class, and racily built, one of the
class developed as modern American Setters, but of
Llewellyn extraction, kept up the work heroically
until taken up, after a heat of three hours and a half,
thoroughly exhausted and in a lamentable condition,
from the effects of this running she never recovered.
There is an element of cruelty in this incident that is
repugnant to the sportsman and all lovers of a game
dog. This trial was more than enough for the
staunchest kind of field dog.

Much has been written recently commenting on the
general desertion of bench shows by the owners and
breeders of field trial and "shooting" Setters. The
bench show Setter fanciers have had their say con-
cerning the other Setter fellows. The Standard has
been picked and pecked here and there and changes
made from time to time. In all this latter contro-
versy, "Stonehenge," an authority of no less weight
at the present time than he was several decades ago,,
has been shelved, and fatwits wbose knowledge of the
breed is meagre and superficial, frequently pose as the
"real thing" on Setters. "Stonehenge" is unknown
to many, evidently forgotten by some, and, sad to say,'
ignored by others, whose presumption is a poor excuse,1
for the possible harm they may encompass. The
words of the eminent writer mentioned, pertaining to
the breed, are comprehensive and of much value in'
giving the style and conformation of the dog best
adapted for field work. The following will be of much'
interest to those who admire the rare virtue of truth'
as an abstract quality in its application to dogs:

"The four divisions of the United Kingdom may be
said to have each a breed of Setters peculiar to itself,'
though of late years many of each variety have been
distributed beyond the limits of their respective dis-
tricts. The English Setter may be taken as the true
type of the breed, next to which comes the Irish Setter,
while the old Llanidloes, or Welsh breed, retain more
of the Spaniel character. Their curly waterproof
coats are, however, admirably suited to the wetclimate
of their native hills. It is said, and I think probably
with truth, that the Scotch or Gordon Setter is crossed
with the Bloodhound, which gives the comparatively
heavy head and long foldingears often shown by him,'
and at the same time accounts for the delicacy of his
nose and for the coarseness of his coat. At all events,
his appearance is not so typical as that of the English
and Irish breeds. The Gordons are now usually de-
scribed as black and tans, to avoid the disputes as to
the breeding of the several entries, for while there is'
no doubt that many black and tans are not true Gor-
dons, it is also indisputable that many true Gordons
are black, white and tan. Similar remarks may apply
to the Irish Setter, but he has not been treated in the
same way, though no doubt a red Setter of English

breed, without any Irish blood, if exhibiting the de-
sired points in perfection, would win in an Irish class.
I must, however, take things as I find them, and de-
scribe the Setter according to the definition given in
our prize lists, omitting the Welsh Setter, which is
not of sufficient importance to interest any but the
few possessors of him who remain.

The Setter is, without doubt, descended from the
Spaniel, or both are offshoots from the same parent
stock. Originally — that is, before the improvements
in the gun introduced the practice of "shooting flying"
— it was believed that he was merely a Spaniel taught
to stop or "set" as soon as he came upon the scent of
the partridge, when a net was drawn over the covey
by two men. Hence he was made to drop close to the
ground, an attitude which is now unnecessary; though
it is taught by some breakers, and notably to very fast
dogs, who could not otherwise stop themselves quickly
enough to avoid flushing. Manifestly, a dog prone on
the ground allowed the net to be drawn over him
better than if he was standing up, and hence the
former attitude was preferred, an additional reason
for its adoption being probably that it was more easily
taught to a dog like the Spaniel, which has not the
natural cataleptic attitude of the Pointer. But when
"shooting flying" came into vogue breakers made the
attempt to assimilate the attitude of the setting
Spaniel, or "Setter," as he is now called, to that of
the Pointer; and in process of time, and possibly also
by crossing with that dog, they succeeded, though,
even after the lapse of more than a century, the cata-
leptic condition is not so fully displayed by the Setter
as by the Pointer. In the present day as a rule the
standing position is preferred, though some well
known breakers, and notably George Thomas, Mr.
Statter's keeper, have preferred the "drop," which
certainly enables a fast dog to stop himself more
quickly than he could do by standing up. It is, how-
ever, attended with the disadvantage that in heather
or clover a "dropped" dog cannot be seen nearly so
far as if he were standing, and on one occasion, at the
Bala Trials of 1873, the celebrated Ranger was lost
for many minutes, having "dropped" on game in a
slight hollow, surrounded by heather. As a rule,
therefore, the standing position is the better one, but
in such fast dogs as Ranger and Drake "dropping"
may be excused. At the above meeting, however,
after a long and evenly balanced trial between Mr.
Macdona's Banger and Mr. R. J. Llewellin Price's
Belle, the latter only won by her superior attitude in
the point, and Ranger wa8 again penalized for drop-
ping at Ipswich in 1873.

"With regard to the low carriage of the Setter's flag
when at work and his Spaniel like lashing of it, I
think they indicate his Spaniel descent and are to be
considered from that point of view. This "tailaction"
is now out of fashion with many good sportsmen, who
allege that grouse, as well as partridge, do not lie so
well to a dog exhibiting it fully as they do to a quiet
trail. In theory this sounds well, but, as far as I
know, it was never propounded until it was required
to excuse the fox-like trail of Drake and Ranger in
particular, and generally of the Laverack Setters; and
I confess that in practice I never noticed it in a long
experience with both kinds of flag carriage. My bias
in favor of "tail action" was founded upon the close
observation of three successive litters, which I bred
from a wonderfully good bitch about thirty years ago.
Lucy was extremely handsome, faBt and untiring,
which qualities, coupled with a good nose, gave her
a considerable local reputation, and I think I may
quote the opinion of that excellent sportsman, tne
present Rector of Wadhurst, who repeatedly shot over
her in my company, that no better single-handed Set-
ter was ever seen. She had merry tail action without
being overdone; which, indued, her great pace forbade;
and I was anxious to breed from her, for which pur-
pose I put her for three successive years to the late
Mr. John Clinton's Bacchus, of great renown in
Worcestershire, nineteen puppies altogether being
reared. Of these about half had the "tall action" of
the mother, while the remainder were witnout it, and
in every case, without a single exception, the "trail-
ers" had no nose whatever, or a very bad one, while
the "lively" ones possessed excellent scenting powers
and were, indeed, nearly all first class dogs. This
drew my attention to the two kinds of flag carriage,
and since then I have almost always seen the quiet
trail accompanied by a nose of equall dullness.

In the Pointer I have not found the same remark
apply, having both seen and myself possessed dogs of
that breed with good noses unaccompanied by "tail
action" in a proportion fully equal to one-half, if not
more, and I have consequently abandoned all idea of
connecting the one with the other in the Pointer. In
the Setter, however, I have still thought, from careful
observation, that my original fancy held good, and
when I saw Sir R. Garth's Grouse and May, produced
at Stafford as pure Laveracks, on trial for the first
time In public the absence of all "tail action" and their
low carriage of the head prejudiced me against the
breed, which their subsequent bad performance con-
firmed. Even the brilliant pace and style of Countess
and Nellie did not entirely dissipate this original bias;
for, although I am not induced to believe that this
strain Is, on the average, possessed of absolutely bad
noses, yet I should not say that they come up to the
level of the best old English Btrains, or to the Gordons
or Irish. Indeed, I consider this their weak point.
Countess, Nellie and Daisy could find game well enough
with a good scent, but they were comparatively useleBS
with a bad one. In addition to Ranger, whose nose iB
undeniably good, Dash II., a three-quarter Laverack,
who has recently won all before him at Horseheath,
maybe adduced as a notable exception to the above
conclusion; but beyond these I cannot recollect any
Setter that has appeared in public without tail action
possessed of an unexceptionably good nose. Hence,
rightly or wrongly, I have still regarded these two
features as of considerable importance; and, knowing
them to be strongly developed in the Spaniel, I con-
clude that they are transmitted to his descendant, the
Setter, and, as such, that they are to be regarded as
his natural attributes."

The Boston Terrier Roundsman.

Mr. Graham E. Babcock writes us he has purchased
Roundsman, a corking good Boston Terrier, from Dr.
G. W. Kendall, of Boston. Roundsman is a smart
looker and must be a pretty good one; he won the
Lawson special prize of $100 at Boston this year, for
the best, never having won a prize, he was also second
novice, being beaten by Cracksman, his sire and a
great ringside favorite in Boston. He is a litter
brother to Champion Remlik Bonnie who annexed the
Lawson prize, 1901, and first limit this year. Rounds-
man's dam is Spider. This Cracksman-Spider litter
seems to have turhed out well. Roundsman was bred
by Mr. F. H. Topham, his win was over a class of
more than eighty entries, he was due to arrive at San
Diego about the 10th inst. Needless to remark he is a
bit undershot.

Mr. Babcock, it is to be regretted, had the very bad
luck to lose his good bitch, Meg, last week. She died
while whelping. Meg, we are sorry to say, haB had a
bad run of luck ever since her advent here at the May
show, 1901, she was one of the best bitches out here,
but was against adverse conditions repeatedly.

Pacific Coast Field Trials.

Bakersfield has been selected as the rallying point
for the members of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club.
Near that city the twentieth annual trials of the club
will be run, commencing on Monday, January 12, 1903.
The committee appointed to select the grounds were
Messrs. Terry, Van Arsdale and Keller. The judge
will be chosen by the club's President and Secretary.

Derby entries will close July 1st, entrance $20, forfeit
of $5 to accompany entry, second forfeit $5 payable
November 1st, $10 additional for starters. The purse
will be divided into 50, 30 and 20% of the stake.

Entry blanks and further information can be had by
addressing Mr. Albert Betz, Secretary, Room 201,
Parrott Building, this city.

Gabilan Kennels' English Setters.

A bit of good news for English Setter fanciers and
sportsmen generally was imparted to us this week by
Mrs. Thos. Murphy, owner of Gabilan Kennels, Hollii-
ter. She has just purchased from Mr. W. J. Baughn,
of Ridgeville, Ind., a good one, in the bitch Fairland
Pet (Count Rodfield-Nell 's Beauty). Pet is a full sister
to Cincinnatus Pride and a litter sister of the fie.d trial
winner Fly Rod, and Is also the dam of Count Grey-
stone, first at the Riley trials this year. Pet was
served by Petrel's Count (Ch. Count Gladstone IV-
Rod's Petrel), May 2d and 4th. Petrel's Count made
a sensational win in the International trials last fall,
running second when he was a very sick dog. He also
won second in the Michigan All-Age.

Gabilan Lady (Luke C.-Nancy Hanks), a full sister
of Buekwa, was served by Count Danstone, May 15th
and 19th. Both bitches are now in transit from Indi-
ana to the kennels at Hollister.

Mrs. Murphy can be congratulated on the prospect
of being the future owner of, all things going well, two
litters of Setters as well bred, typical and promising
field dogs as possessed by any breeder on the Coast.

Danstone's Pride (Count Danstone-Fairland Queen)
is the sire of a number of promising Setter youngsters.
Since arriving at Hollister last year he has been thor-
oughly broken on quails and has proven to be a high
class working field dog.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

Ellesgy Kennels' bitch Lady Bethel is heavy in
whelp to Ch. Ivel Rustic.

King Commando is at present in stud at the Hebden
Kennels, Wakefield, Mass.

"Woodlawn Kennels' Boston Terrier The Lady is in
whelp to Endcliffe Premier.

W. C. Adam of Victoria, B. C, this week shipped a
Fox Terrier bitch to Woodlawn Kennels to be served
by Dictator.

Dottie, the Fox Terrier bitch recently bought by
Mr. Arthnr Merritt of Victoria, B. C, was in whelp
to Ch. Niola Daddy.

Of the litter of eight puppies (7 dogs) by Ch. Wood-
cote Wonder out of Newmarket Queen, there remains
but one puppy left at Woodlawn Kennels.

John A. Murphy, of FreBno, has purchased a Fox
Terrier from an English breeder. Mr. Hignett looked
after the commission. The dog will be sent to Wood-
lawn Kennels, this city.

The announcement that Ch. Woodcote Wonder
would be sent East, it now appears, was somewhat
premature. While we believe this move was contem-
plated, the program has for the time being been
changed. The good old dog is with J. C. Bone at
present and is still in the stud in this city.

A visit to Woodlawn Kennels this week shows a
marked improvement in many respects. The main
portion of the kennels comprises a row of substantial
and commodious box stalls, which were well patronized
by local sportsmen in the old days when the Conserva-
tory was a popular road-house. This long stable
has been thoroughly renovated. The wide do.

The Coast Agency of the Union Metallic Cartridge
Company and the Remington Arms Company is now
removed to the heart of the new San Francisco whole-
sale, manufacturing and industrial district — a locality
which a decade ago was the rusty edge of the iron in-
dustry and occupied by serrated rows of tumble down
buildings. The newly preempted business district is a
orowth of natural conditions and business demand
which will be lasting. In this enlarged business com-
munity have been erected a number of the most sub-
stantial, modern and handsome business structures,

AT THE TRAPS.

The Union Gun Club regular monthly blue rock
shoot is the only scheduled trap shooting event for
to morrow.

In our report of the California Wing Club shoot last
week, among the list of winners who divided the club
purse the names of Phil B. Bekeart and C. C. Nau-
man were inadvertently omitted.

The eighteenth annual tournament of the North-
west Association will take place at Portland, Or., on
June 26th, 27th and 28th. The shoot will be under
the auspices of the Multnomah Rod and Gun Club.

A gun club has been organized at Fortuna, Hum-
boldt county. J. W. Dixon is President and Chas.
Legg, Captain. The club has a promising start, a fair
list of members enrolled and a shooting ground fitted
up with a set of blue rock traps. The members will
hold regular shoots throughout the season.

The Chico Gun Club held a blue rock practice shoot
on the 1st inst. Out of 100 blue rocks Barham broke
90, Richards 89, Miller 83, Johnson 88, Loshbough 80,
and White 60.

Thomasson broke 49 out of 60; Brooks 71 out of 90;
Simpson 15 out of 20; Hiram Brooks 13 out of 20; Hardy
Thomasson 8 out of 15; Harry Nichols 18 out of 30;
and E. B. Collins who tried trap shooting for the first
time caught 48 out of 70.

. In the club medal shoot at 20 birds, Miller made 17,
Richards 15, Loshbough 17, Thomasson 17, Johnson
18, and Barham 18.

Johnson and Barham selected rival teams of five
men each and Johnson's team won by two points— .84
to 82.

signs prominent and attractively striking. Whilst
the exterior is pleasing to the eye,' the interior is, from
cellar to roof, an emporium of goods that are used all
over the world— U. M. C. fixed ammunition, Reming-
ton guns and the necessary adjuncts that, in detail,
go to make up the varied stock of goods necessary to
carry on the largest manufacturing and exporting
business of its kind conducted in the United States — a
corporation which makes and sells its output on a scale
of magnitude that embraces customers from national
governments down to single individuals.

The interior arrangements, beginning with the
manager's office, at the main entrance door, and
throughout the new building are modern, commodious
and comfortable. Mr. E. E. Drake, the managing
representative of the above named firms, is a gentle-
man esteemed by his business associates and deservedly
popular with sportsmen. Mr. Drake, by the way, is a
prominent Mason and has a host of friends outside of
his many business connections.

The first annual Grand Western Handicap blue rock
shooting tournament, which began in Denver on
Thursday, has attracted to that city between fifty and
sixty crack shots, the greater number coming from
the intermountain sections. Among tho9e who will
participate in the handicap shoot is H. C. Herschy of
Minneapolis, winner of the Grand American Handicap
recently at Kansas City. The tournament is held
v. .ider the auspices of the Denver Trap Club and prizes
aggregating close to $10,000 will be distributed.
The tournament will wind up to-morrow. Each day

here will be eight 25-target events, with from $10 to

o these there will be the Denver Trap Club Handicap

added; the Colorado Handicap the second day, 100

The Golden Gate Gun Club shoot last Sunday was
but fairly attended by the club members. In the club
race at 25 targets Fred Feudner was high gun with 22
breaks and won first money of the club purse. Five
shooters with 21 broaks each, C. A. Haight, E. L.
Forster, C. C. Nauman, Jos. J. Sweeney and W. E.
Murdock divided the balance of the purre, four
moneys. In a 15 bird race, expert rules, one man up,
J. J. Sweeney won first money, C. C. Nauman taking
second. The favorite "couple" shoot was participated
in by sixteen pairs of contestants. When the race
narrowed down to the final round Ed Donohoe was the
winner and Fred Feudner runner up. The prize for
the winner was two ping pong sets. In this race W.
J. Golcher broke 25 straight winning a gold bar, J. J.
Sweeney ran 24 without a break, but lost the last, he

won a silver bar. The winners in a pool race at 25
birds were Haight, Forster, Sweeney (who also won
silver bars in this race), Eugene Forster and Neff.
Silver bars were also won by Ed Donohoe, Fred Feud-
ner, C. C. Nauman, J. Gordon and E. Klevesahl.
Besides the regular events enough practice shooting
was indulged to use up over 3000 targets, one mem-
ber alone shot at over 500 tar discs. A summary of
scores in the principal events follows:

Mutton quality haa been developed in
certain breeds of sheep from the amount
of exercise they have had to take. The
old black-faced sheep in the mountains of
Scotland have to hustle all the year round
like the Scotchman and this means plenty
of exercise. The old Spanish merino on
our western plains alBO had to huBtle. It
secured a part of its feed during a portion
of the year in the mountains and the
remainder of the time it erazed on the
plains. This traveling back and fortti had
a tendency to develop lean meat. It is
this characteristic that makes the Mexican
lambs so popular with feeders and the
same trait is more or less marked in the
Shropshire breed, which has proven such
a valuable cross on the western merino.

A dairyman may start with nothing but
grade cows of only fair order and by simply
purchasing dairy sires of excellent quality
can have a fine grade herd in a few years.
The heifer calves from the best cows
should by all means be raised. The
method that is still largely practiced in
some portions of the dairy sections of our
State — of disposing of all the calves re-
gardless of how good the individual or its
parentage — is in the end very ruinous to
the dairy interests. The ranges are pro-
ducing plenty of beef cattle, horses and
sheep, but there is no one as yet in the
business of breeding good milking cows
of high quality and the supply must be
furnished by the dairymen themselves.

The practice of keeping cows yarded all
night is a wasteful one, as all they have
gathered during the day is assimilated
before morning. This is the reason why
they break out of the corral in the nighl
and destroy the cabbage patch or gorge
themselves in the alfalfa field. The remedy
for this is a night pasture near the corral
into which the cows may be turned im-
mediately after milking and quickly be
brought up to milk in the morning. They
will probably eat one-third as much as
through the day and will be cool and clean
at milking time, while the yield of milk
will be increased.

C. C. Bigler & Sons of Hartwick. Iowa,
have purchased C. B. Dustin'B entire herd
of famous Shorthorns, numbering thirty-
eight head besides seven small calves, the
total purchaso price being $30,000. The
great bull Merry Hampton went at ?15,000.
All but four of the herd are of pure Scotch
breeding. Following so closely upon the

recent purchase by Colonel G. M. Casey
of Choice Goods, Ruberta and others at
$25,000, this deal involving so much money
would surely lead one to believe that the
breed is still doing business at the old
stand.

MONTEREY 31706 £b°§!

PEDIGREE IN PART.

BIRED BY SIDNEY 2:19&, sire of 17 in the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, 3 better than 2:10, and Lenna
N. 2:05Sf (champion record), and 96 in the charmed circle. Hattie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares, Com. Belmont 4340, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2:189i-
Barona. his second dam, is by Woodford's Mambrlno 2:21 V4, and his third dam. Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25, sire of Lula 2:15; fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at; he
has size and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walter S, Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th, a half in 1:16, first quarter in 0:40^, last
eighth in 1? seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than
any colt I ever saw and do it easier. Walter S. Maben."

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed-
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price. One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal-
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks
can keep htm down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public
cannot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on
top, and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,

m JOTTINGS. m

HI HOGOBOOM is quite a talker. Those who are
acquainted with him will verify this statement.
There is a story to the effect that once upon a time,
when the king maker, Monroe Salisbury, happened to
be thrown into his company for a day, he drew a long
breath when the sun went down and remarked: "If I
could mate that fellow with one of those women's
rights orators, I would get the two-minute talker."
While Hi is rather voluble, he mixes a great many
facts with his words, and has more original ideas than
most men. There is another peculiar feature in his
character. He would rather win a race than eat a
good dinner, and no m:.a can truthfully say that Hi
Hogoboom ever pulled a heat to win a dollar or any
other sum. If so, he can win all the money that Hi
can scrape up. I met him last Sunday at a station
where we were both waiting for delayed trains, and
during the half hour he said a lot of things. One of
his ideas is that selling races can be arranged and made
as much of a success on trotting tracks as on the
courses where gallopers hold sway. Here is the way
he would advertise such a race had he the authority:

"Trotting— 2:30 class. Purse $600. Entrance five
per cent. Winner to be sold for $300. If sold for
more, all over this amount to go to the association."

This is how he argued the case: "There are a very
large number of horses put in training every year that
never keep the promise of their first trial. They are
entered in stakes, but when the day of the race arrives
they cannot trot fast enough to keep inside the dis-
tance flag. There are many more that are broke and
worked because they are well bred, that develop 2:25
or 2:30 speed, but never improve on that gait. They
have no business in the regular events, and payiDg en-
trance on them is folly, as they will be outclassed in
every advertised race. They are slow trotters, it is
true, but their owners would like to race them against
horses that were of the same rank and the races
resulting would be worth seeing. Now, this selling
race plan would bring the ordinary horses together
in my opinion. No owner would enter a horse in a
2:30 selling race that could trot in 2:20 or better. It
would be too risky. The man who owned a ready-sale
$500 horse would not enter for the same reason, but
there would be many who would enter and try their
best to win to make a sale. Fifty per cent of the
purse would be $300, and $300 added to this would
make $600, a sum at which many an owner would will-
ingly part with his horse, while the $300 selling price
would be cheerfully paid by someone who wanted the
animal. If a clause were added to the conditions,
making every horse in the race liable to be claimed at
$300 plus the amount of money won by the horse in
the race, it would be a popular feature."

I have thought this plan over and have come to the
conclusion that it is a good one. and had I the man-
agement of a track I would arrange "The Hogoboom"
for 2:30 trotters on these lines. I believe it would
attract a big list of entries and give owners a chance
to win good money and make sales in classes that their
horses would not be deuce high in under ordinary
conditions.

Word comes from Indianapolis that Orrin Hickok is
very ill and confined to his bed. The horses he took
East, Clipper 2:06 and Thornway, have been turned
over to Ed Benyon, trainer for Walnut Hall Farm,
who is working them at the Indianapolis track.
Thornway was given five heats one day last week, the
fastest being 2:16. He paced them all handily and
gives every promise of being good this year. Clipper
was given five heats the same day, the last two being
in 2:15 flat without hopples, and the Diablo gelding
going easy and acting like a gentleman all the time.
It will be a pity if Mr. Hbkok should be compelled on
account of his health to give up training. He has not
been in the best of luck in the last year or so, and it
is to be hoped that he can at least direct, if he cannot
participate actively, in the training of these two great
pacers this year. He has too many years on his
shoulders to be an active driver, but he had expected
to direct the training and conditioning of Col. Kirk-
patrick's pacers, and we Californians who claim Mr.
Hickok as one of us, have already made up our minds
that Clipper and Thornway under the guidance of his
master mind, will be returned heavy winners of money
and the possessors of very low records by the end of
the season. It is nearly a quarter of a century since
Mr. Hickok drove St. Julian to the world's record of
2.12J at the Oakland track, while General Giant held
the watch. He was considered an old man then, but
hiving an iron constitution and being a man of good
.abits he has more than held his own ever since, and
: . has only been for the past few months that Time's
-.and has seemed to lie at all heavily upon him. I

hope his indisposition may be brief and that he may
be able to see his charges finish in front in many races
during the year. He will never give up until com-
pelled to, that is certain. He is one of the ' old guard
and the old guard may die, but it never surrenders.

Sandy Smith reached home last Sunday from Cleve-
land with five two year olds belonging to Palo Alto
Stock Farm and a couple of Kentucky saddle horses
that Mr. A- B. Spreckels purchased while at Cleve-
land. The two year olds were originally consigned to
the Blue Ribbon sale but contracted distemper and
had to be withdrawn. There were two more that
were left in Ohio because they were too sick to ship
back. Sandy made his advent into San Francisco
after unloading his horses, with one of the newest and
broadest-brimmed Panamas to be found, and a suit of
clothes and a pair of "yaller" shoes that would make a
hot sport turn green with envy. He tells me he is
going to withdraw from the Grand Circuit this year
and retire to the quiet of Mr. Spreckels' Aptos Stock
Farm, where he will take up a dozen head of Dexter
Princes and Cupids and get them ready to sell to those
wanting high class road horses. Mayor Clark of Sac-
ramento has already given him an order for a team,
and Sandy is certain he can fill it after a few weeks'
work at Aptos. Mr. Spreckels reached home from his
Eastern trip this week and tells me that Sandy was
the most popular man in Cleveland during the sale.
Of the twenty three head of horses shipped to Cleve-
land in his care not one was sick or even scratched
on the trip, and when Sandy showed them in the ring
and on the track prior to the sale he received compli-
ments from everybody in regard to their manners and
looks. In all their brushes on the track and in the
ring not one lifted its head, but stuck strictly to busi-
ness Sandy will be misspd from the Grand Circuit,
and it is not likely that there will be another plunger
like him to hold up the reputation of the rubbers for
buying big tickets. When he bought a Boralma
ticket for $1000 at Lexington, Sandy got the record
which he still holds. Mr. Spreckels will probably
have him get a couple of carloads ready for the Cleve-
land Blue Ribbon sale next year.

but Rodman has used him as a driving horse since and
has abolished the straps He drove him a quarter in
37 seconds to a buggy one day recently. Rodman
should induce the District Fair folks to offer a prize
for the handsomest horse and rig. He would capture
it with Yellow Jacket, or the one that beat him would
be good enough for Dreamwold.

The summer racing season will soon begin in Cali-
fornia and secretaries are already using up consider-
able gray matter trying to think up some scheme by
which big gate receipts can be assured. There has
been a great deal written in Eastern harness horse
journals about copying some of the customs of the run-
ning tracks, which seem to be popular everywhere.
There is one peculiarity of the leading jockey clubs of
America which, in my opinion, aids very materially in
making those tracks popular with the people. It is
not the "tout" pernicious, but the Unit ensemble that
makes the running track such a pleasant place to
visit. There are handsome and clean grand stands,
green lawns, fragrant flowers, commodious club houses
and everything suitable and convenient for people who
enjoy a day's sport with their good clothes on. The
contrast is great when one visits the average country
trotting track. There is little effort made to keep
things clean and dust prevails. Handsome toilets can-
not be worn by the ladies without danger of having
them ruined, and there is absolutely nothing dODe to
make the place attractive or convenient for those who
enjoy speed contests. I would suggest to the managers
of meetings on the circuit this fall that they use a
sprinkling cart liberally to lay the dust, that grand
6tands be made neat with paint and kept clean, and
that lavatories be built for the ladies and a competent
woman placed in charge to keep them in order. I
know that some of the "Rube" directors will consider
this a waste of money and an unnecessary expense, but
it will pay and pay big. The American people appre-
ciate the luxuries of life more than any people on earth
and are ready and willing to pay for them.

A. B. Rodman of Woodland has a horse that would
make everybody "rubber" were he to drive him over
the speedway in this city. This is Yellow Jacket 2:204
by Silver King, and a rather poor picture of him
appears on our front page to-day. Yellow Jacket, as
his name denotes, is a yellow or light dun colored
pacer, with flaxen mane and a white strip in his face.
He is just about as attractive as they make them, and
can pace faster than his mark with hopples, and road
in 2:30 or better without the straps. In fact, he is a
steady horse on the road, not afraid of anything, and
with a splendid disposition. How Rodman remains a
bachelor while owning such a handsome horse is one
of those riddles that is hard to solve. I think he must
be one of the confirmed sort that wears a piece of
armor plate over his heart every time he takes a young
lady out for a ride. I have had an idea that Yellow
Jacket would make a race horse able to win in his
class were he put to work regularly. He took his
record at Napa over a very slow track two years ago'
in the fifth heat of a race. He wore the straps then'

Breeders who are shy a few broodmares will miss a
great opportunity if they fail to attend the sale of the
Hon. Jesse D. Carr's Gabilan Stock Farm horses next
Thursday, June 26th, at 1732 Market street. I want
to call their attention to the fact that one of the very
best strains of thoroughbred blood ever introduced
into the trotting families was that of Williamson's
Belmont, and many of Mr. Carr's mares trace to this
horse. The Belmont blood means size, symmetry,
and endurance of the highest order. It is this blood
that has helped greatly to make Nutwood Wilkes
2:16.1 such a sire of handsome and fast horses. I do
not hold that this Belmont blood will make a horse
trot, (although Venture, a thoroughbred son of his
was a good trotter and took a record of 2:27] nearly
thirty years ago), but it will help a horse to carry his
speed a full mile and repeat it. It would be a very
risky experiment to begin introduing thoroughbred
crosses now into modern pedigrees, but breeders
should hold fast to those thoroughbred strains that
they know to be good, and that o.' Williamson's Bel-
mont is the best we ever had in California as is proven
by the records. Mares in whose pedigrees are found
such names as Ida May, Jr.. by Owen Dale and Ida by
Belmont are worth buying.

Waldo J. Shut Them All Out.

The gray gho»t of Santa Paula, Waldo J., won the
free for-ail pace at Honolulu on June 11th in hollow
fashion and again demonstrated the fact that he is by
far the best horse ever sent to the Hawaiian Islands,
and would very likely be a free-for-all candidate in
this country. James Quinn who trains and drives
Waldo J., sent a letter on the last boat to his friend,
J. G. Chesley of this city, in which he states that in
his opinion Waldo is a better horse to-day than ever
in his life, and is satisfied he could have driven him a
mile in 2:05. He says he has repeatedly stepped him
quarters in 30 seconds and a week before the race he
paced one in 28 seconds. In the last heat of the race
he won last week he came the last half in 59 seconds
and put the other two, Wayboy and Edna G., behind
the flag.

Some enterprising California association would get
a great attraction could it induce Mr. Quinn to bring
his horse over from the Islands and start here against
such horses as Kelly Briggs 2:10, El Diablo 2:12j,
Toppy 2:12}, and a few others that are in the first
flights. Perhaps Miss Logan 2:06 and Joe Wheeler
2:07; could be added to the race, and if so a record
breaking crowd would be present.

Bright Prospects at San Jose.

A dispatch from San Jose dated June 18th says:
The annual fair of Agricultural District No. 5, which
will be held at Agricultural Park, near this city, July
3d, 4th and 5th, promises to be the most successful
one ever held under the auspices of the association.
Stock raisers, packers, farmers and fruit organizations
are all manifesting an unusual interest in the event.
Already three-fourths of the available space in the
rose carnival pavilion has been taken by exhibitors.
Entries of stock have been restricted by the directors
to those living in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties,
and this has had the effect of stimulating local stock
raisers.

Grand sweepstakes will be awarded as follows: Best
standard-bred stallion, $100; secODd best, $50; best
mare, $100; second best, $50. Liberal premiums are
also to be offered for milk and beef cattle, Angora
goats, a large variety of manufactured articles, and
for every imaginable kind of farm production.

From the entries for the race meet already received
the best meet on the circuit is assured. The total
number of entries will be very large, this being the
first meet of the season.

Big Prices for Haggin..Yearlings.

The Fasig-Tipton Company made a big success of
the sale of yearlings from J. B. Haggin's Rancho del
Paso and Elmendorf studs this week in New York.
There were 191 yearlings in the consignment and they
brought a total of $216,700, an average of a little over
$1117 each.

Tne highest priced one of the sale was the bay colt
by Watercress out of Pensa by Sir Modred. The colt
is an own brother to Botany, a winner as a two year
old last year and again a winner this year. This colt
brought $21,000. and was purchased by Sidney Paget.
Green B. Morris was a bidder, but stopped at $20,000.
Mr. Paget also paid $17,000 for the brown colt by
Watercress but of Pansy ^the dam of Pensa) by Virgil.

J. B. Iverson haB moved his trotters and pacersfrom
his half-mile track to the Salinas race track, where
they will be given their final preparation by trainer J.
H. Vance for the California Circuit.

Entries are numerous.

The circuit is already a success.

Vallejo filled all but the fastest classes

There will be twenty-four harness races at the State
Fair.

Attend the Jesse D. Carr sale at 1732 Market street
next Thursday.

Good broodmares aro becoming quite as scarce as
first-class stallions.

Belsire 2:18 will be trained this fall. He could trot
a half in 1:05 last year.

The State Fair will give eight big early closing
purses— $1200 and $1000.

Ed Mills is very hopeful of getting Searchlight 2:03j
to the races again this year.

There are many who believe that Little Boy 2:01J
has speed enough to beat 1:59| to harness.

It is said that Dan Patch 2:0-U recently worked the
last eighth of a 2:20 mile in thirteen seconds.

Ed Mills worked the pacer Searchlight 2:03}, a mile
over the Plainsville, Conn., track in 2:14* last week.

The Occident and Stanford Stakes this year will
probably be the richest in the history of these two
valuable events.

Violin, the Button mare owned by Prince David,
won a race at Honolulu, June 11th, driven by that
popular Hawaiian.

Vallejo will open four additional purses of $500 each.
In the 2:15 trotting and 2:12 trotting, purses $500, but
six entries will be required to fill.

If Sir Albert S. 2:08| and Clipper 2:06 get to their
races in good shape over East, the horsemen there
will think the Diablos are greased lightning.

Geo. M. Brown of Seattle, has leased Pathmark
2:15', from the Van De Vanter stock farm and will
assume all his present engagements for the season.

Mose Hart is working Dora Doe 2:12| at the Alameda
track. She is stepping like a winner, and in the 2:13
class should be able to make a good showing this year.

Demonio, the full brother to Diablo 2:09}, will be
raced this year by Sam Hoy, who is training him for
Ben Rush of Suisun. Demonio should get. a mark this
year.

The " white ghost outfit" is the name given to Mc-
Henry's paraphernalia this season, as be has bad his
sulkies, chests and chairs painted a rich colored milk
white.

Jack Groom has Easter D. 2:2"2, a very promising
pacing mare by Easterwood, in his string at Alameda.
She is a nice mover and is showing well under Groom's
tuition.

Miles better than 2:15 are getting frequent now,
when the pacing division is taking its work. There
should be some fast side wheel records at the meetings
this year.

Oakland's program will soon be out. There will
be ten purses for trotters and pacers. The meeting
this year will be given by the District Agricultural
Association.

All the trotters and pacers in training at the Wood-
land track were shipped to Sacramento last week and
will be worked at Agricultural Park which is reported
in fine shape.

Clipper's two miles in 2:15 last week at Indianapolis
are the fastest miles for that track this year. Ed
Benyon, who drove him, was much pleaBed with the
son of Diablo.

William Houser, so long with the Palo Alto Stock
Farm, is now training the trotters and pacers on the
Meek Estate, Haywards. He will have three or four
for the circuit, among them the pacer Dan Bums by
William Harold, that took a record of 2:23^ at Sacra-
mento last fall. This horse has not been worked bet-
ter than 2:20 this year, but he will be a 2:15 performer
if nothing happens.

Anaconda 2:01$ is working very agreeably at the
Empire City track, and, thanks to a new bit, his
trainer, John Dickerson, has control of him and is
stepping him some fast last quarters.

This is the year Direct Hal, the $10,000 green pacer,
is to race. He has been carried around and educated
for the past two years and ought to know how by this
time. He is heavily engaged in pacing stakes.

The Denver meeting opens this afternoon. Reports
of the Trinidad and Colorado meeting have not
reached us, but we understand Charley Mac 2:11} won
at both places and is considered to be good enough for
the 2:10 class over East.

John Lance of Spokane, has bought the fast green
pacer Sam Bowers from A. Douglass of EHensburg.
This fellow was a close second to Diodine last fall in
2:IU, over the North Yakima track, and he may make
some of them step some to beat him this year.

Foxy Quiller, full brother to Cresceus. which R. A.
Brown has in training at the Overland, is doing well
as a pacer. The big fellow started out as a trotter,
but in the spring showed a disposition to pace, so bis
gait was changed and he is going easy miles in 2:40.

Geo. A. Kelly has returned from his Washington
trip and brought home with him to Pleasanton eight
head of well bred horses that he will shape up to sell
and will have two or three to get ready to race next
season. He offers several handsome road horses for
sale in our advertising columns to day.

W. F. Freeman basin his stable at the Kentucky
Breeders' track a two year old that he thinks very
highly of. The youngster is called Cresceus Bird, and
is by the champion trotter out of Blessing, a full sister
to Larabie the Great 2:12$. Cresceus Bird trotted
quarters at a 2:20 clip as a yearling.

It is stated, on apparently good authority, that Mrs.
Jobn Gerken's celebrated show ring winner, Newsboy,
who defeated Lord Brilliant on two occasions at the
Philadelphia Horse Show recently, is a trotting bred
horse. Less than twelve months agn he was a long
tailed road horse known as Marengo King.

Dennis Gannon has entered his good little mare Twi-
light by Noonday in the 2:19 classes on the circuit.
She can put in as many heats around her record as
any trotter in California.

A very interesting letter from a Sacramento corre-
spondent reached this office just before the forms were
closed, and too late for insertion this week. It will
appear in our next issue.

The Carr horses will arrive at the salesyard, 1732
Market street, to-morrow. If you want something
good go to the yards and look them over. The sale
will be held Thursday next.

Will Welch left for the East this week with the two
fast green horses, Dr. Hammond and Uncle John, both
by Chas. Derby. Both worked miles better than 2:12
at San Jose last week. He will get back to Salem,
Oregon, in time to start for the $2000 stake at the
State Fair there and reach California in time for the
Breeders meeting.

John Green, well known on the Coast as the trainer
and driver of Bishop Hero 2:21 and Challenger Chief
2:15, arrived last Wednesday from Vancouver with the
gray McKinney mare, Arketa 2:22J. that is entered at
the Vallejo and Napa meetings. H« shipped her to
Vallejo Thursday afternoon and will start her there
first in the 2:19 class trot.

Already more than 100 amateur owners of trotters
and pacers have become members of thf New York
Mat'nee Club, with headquarters at the Empire City
track. Racing will begin June 14th, in all probability,
and be continued on favorable Saturdays all season.
There will be one challenge cup offered by the associa-
tion and championship cups open to both trotters and
pacers. The members only will contest for these valu-
able prizes, yet races to be opened to non members are
in contemplation.

At San Jose's fair during the first week in next
mouth, $100 will be given as premium for the beat
standatd bred stallion and $50 for the second best.
The best standard bred mare will also be awarded $100
and the second best $50. Entries to these classes will
be confined to the district which comprises the coun-
ties of Santa Clara and San Mateo.

A recent letter from A. G. F. Stice, proprietor of
the Rose Hill Stock Farm at Brookfield, Mo., reports
the following foals: ''Nellie M. 2:10J has a chestnut
filly by Heir-at-Law 2:05^, Flora Little 2:23 has a
brown colt by Sir Charles 2:1c.,', Wayside 2:21 has a
bay filly by Sir CbarWs 2:10ij." He adds, "My horses
are all doing well and things are in a very prosperous
condition at Rose Hill Farm."

E. J. Tranter, of Buffalo, Frank P. Kenney and
William Kenney, of Lexington. Ky.. have organized a
new sales firm, and the corporation will be known as
the Tranter-Ken ney Company. The initial sale will
be held in October, during the Lexington trotting
meeting. Sales will be held at Indianapolis and
Buffalo, and probably other places. George A. Bain
and John W. Bain will serve as auctioneers.

Not with the idea of touting him, but because it is a
fact, Sphinx S. 2:08}, looks like the real thing for tho
2:09 classes. He seems bigger and stronger than we
have ever seen him before, and the way he can step
sets the railbirds to chirping for sure — Trotter and
Pacer.

Barney Simpson is now located at the Alameda
track with two handsome, large black mares by Chas.
Derby, one out of a mire by Administrator, the other
out of a mare by Balkan 2:15. One is a trotter, the
other a pacer, and both are smooth gaited and very
promising.

George H. Kwtcham of Toledo now has in his stable
the good young trotting stallion Pegasus by Wilton
out of the dam of the fast mare Wynema, and, we
hear, expects great things of him. Pegasus made a
few starts last season and showed high racing form
and quality.

Mr. Lawson informs us that the date of the Boralma
-Lord Derby match has been fixed for Saturday.
August 2d, and the race will be trotted over Charter
Oak Park, Hartford, Ct. The Boralma-The Abbot
race will be trotted over the same course Saturday,
August 30tb.

Queen Wilkes is still mistress or the New York
Speedway. The report that a nomination would be
purchased for her in the M. & M. is not true. Mr.
Smathers, her owner, has said that he would keep
her over and more than likely name her in this same
event in 1903.

Now that Chehalis 2:04} is owned iu Vermont, the
people of that state are figuring on some pretty sharp
free-for-alls this year. Will TJtton intends to start
him at Barre, Vt., July 4, against The Maid 2:05ij,
who will be driven by the veteran trainer, "Uncle
Jock" Bowen.

Czarina 2:131 an(* Venus II. 2:11}, the two mares
sent over to Toledo by Mr. A. B. Spreckels to be bred
to Cresceus 2:02}, have not been sent home jet. Sandy
Smith was to bring them back when he came, but Mr.
Ketcham was not certain they were with foal and per-
suaded Mr. Spreckels to leave thfm thereuntil he was
certain. Sandv reports the champion trotter in great
shape and everything on the Ketcham farm in fine
condition.

Geo. W. Berry, Superintendent of Mr. A. B.
Spreckels' Napa Stock Farm, came down to the city
this week for a flying visit. The new stud barn
recently built at the farm is one of the finest in Cali-
fornia. It contains eight box stalls finished in the
very best manner and cost close to $14,000. A sale of
yearlings from this farm will be held in this city dur-
ing the winter. They are a grand looking lot of
youngsters.

William Morgan, of Pasadena, Cal., has paid up on
three colts entered in the Breeders Futurity for mares
bred in 1901. Grace McK. and Nora K., both by Mc-
Kinney 2:11}, have colts by Neernut 2:12}, that have
been named Kaiser and Una Boy respectively. Nellie
K. by Gen. Grant Jr. has a colt by Newton Direct.
Mr. Morgan is much pleased with the appearance of
these youngsters and says they are good to look at,
being fine, sound and with perfect anatomy.

Colusa's meeting will open August 11th, the same
date as the Vallejo meeting. The purses at Colusa are
very liberal, the 2:40 class trot getting $500, and the
others smaller amounts, several purses being $400.
Special inducements are offered horses owned in the
district, an excellent thing in the smaller districts as
it encourages breeding and training at home. Read
thead vertisement of Colusa'smeetingin the Breeder
and Sportsman to-day. Entries close July 15th for
the harness events and August 1st for the runners.

The fair grounds and race track property at Santa
Ana having passed again into the hands of Mr. Geo.
Ford, the well known walnut grower and horse owner
of that place, it is now Mr. Ford's intention to keep it
as a race track, and it will pay him well while be
owns race horses to keep it in shape for his own use if
for no other purpose. The soil on which this track is
built is soft and springy and can be kept in condition
easier than any track in that section of the State. Mr.
Ford has a number of young horses by hi* great stal-
lion Neernut, and horsemen there say they are as
promising and speedv as any family of youngsters in
California.

M. E. McHenry, in whose stable is Dan Patch 2:04.1
and Prince Direct 2:14}. has just bought for WTi E.
Sturges the green trotter Darwin by Connoisseur,
son of Electioneer, dam Carrie 2:29^, dam of Manager
2:06A by George Wilkes. Darwin has been in the
stable of Ras Eckei-6 and recently when McHenry was
working Dan Patch out Eckers went along with him
with Darwin, and a last quarter in 31| seconds found
the green trotter on even terms with the great pacer.
After that performance McHenry was not long in
getting a price on Darwin, and the horse was bought
for Mr. Sturges for $3000. The horse is now in Mc-
Henry's stable, and will be raced by that trainer.
He started a few times last season, and in one of his
races was timed in 2:14. so he ought to be good in his
class this year.

Senator Horace White, of Syracuse, who admires a
good road horse, has made a very flattering offer to
A. H. Miller, of Buffalo, for the mare Julia M. by
Zombro, but Mr. Miller is so pleased with his recent
purchase that he will not part with Julia. At the
Cleveland sale last month Mr. Miller's commissioner
purchased Julia M. for $2t>00, which was the top price
for the day Julia M. passed under the hammer. Mr.
Miller had" instructed his agent to bid as high a- $5500
for the mare, but it was not necessary. Julia M. con-
tracted a slight cold on the trip eastward from Cali-
fornia, and several horsemen evidently thought that
she was seriously affectea and accordingly they kept
out of the sale. Julia has improved, however, and
to-day she if as sound as a silver dollar. Mr. Mill.T
sent Julia to W. L. Snow's stable, and she has been
stepping miles along in 2:15 on the Syracuse track.
Senator White and Jack Feek, the old-timer, have
each made offers, but Mr. Miller considers the mare
good enough to campaign down the line. She stepped
a mile in 2:13J in California two months ago. — .V. }'.

Gabilan Stock Farm Sale.

By Monday morning next, the horses from Hon.
Jesse D. Carr's well known GabiJan Stock Farm at
Salinas wUl be at the Killip & Co. salesyard, 1732 Mar-
ket street in this city, now conducted by the successors
to the old firm, Fred H. Chase i- Co. There will be
fifty -one head in this consignment, and they are the
best lot of horses that have been offered in San Fran-
cisco at auction for some time. All are in good con-
dition, and many are fast enough to train for the
races. There are a number of broodmares to be sold,
that are young and sound, regular breeders and with
foals at their side. They are sired by such horses as
Antevolo, Hambletonian Wilkes, Eugeneer, Mambrloo
Jr.. Gabilan 19,733 and Alpheus 8847. Two or three
are by that good grandson of Nutwood, Bay Rum
2:16^, and some are by Boodle 2:12*. The young geld-
ings and fillies are three, four and five years old and
by Ecce 15,993, a grandson of Electioneer, Boodle Jr.,
and Nutwood Wilkes 2:16A. A two year old filly is by
the last named horse, out of Flossie a producing mare
by Carr's Mambrino, second dam the old Gray Eagle
mare formerly owned by Mr. Carr, and whose descend-
ants all trot fast. Fillies by Nutwood Wilkes will be
worth a lot of money before long. This great horst,
is comparatively young yet, and very few of his
daughters are old enough to have produce that are of
an age to train, but there were quite a number of
young mares by him bred last year and the year be.
fore, and the owners of the colts are very enthusiastic
over them.

Mr. Carr's horse Boodle Jr., 34,834, is well repre-
sented in the sale by a number of good looking colts
and fillies and quite a number of the broodmares are
in foal to him. He is a grand looking young horse
and Mr. Carr will have him at the yards on the day
of the sale that the public may look him over. He is
royally bred being by the great race horse Boodle
2:121 out of Nina B. by Electioneer, second dam Gabilan
Maid by Carr's Mambrino, and third dam the thorough-
bred mare Ida May Jr., by O^en Dale.

Another stallion whose get is well represented is
Ecce 15,993. This horse never had any but the most
limited opportunities. His sire, Eclectic, is a full
brother to Arion 2:07^, whose two year old record of
2:10| never has and probably never will be equaled.
The dam of Ecce is by Clovis, the sire of AtbavLs2:18j;
and Gentry Love 2:20|. Clovis is a son of Sultan, sire
of Stamboul 2:07$, out of Sweetbriar, by Thorndale.
The second dam of Ecce is Leah by Woodford Mam-
brino. There are few better bred norses than Ecce,
and his get all promise well.

Take them altogether the horses from Gabilan Stock
Farm are as well bred as any in California. Stout
blood has been Mr. Carr's hobby and that is the k:.nd
that advanced breeders want. If you have not re-
ceived a catalogue write to Fred H. Chase A: Co., for
one immediately, and don't forget the date of the
sale — Thursday next, June 26th.

A Trotter ol the First Flight.

"Hawley" of the Kentucky Stock Farm, in his Com-
mentaries last week, writes as follows of a California
bred filly now owned by Mr. J. C. McKinney of Titus*
ville, Pa.

A visit to the Oakley track, Cincinnati, would con-
vince any one that among the number of horses now
in training over the beautiful course are at least four
or Ave that will distinguish themselves later in the
season. The atar among, the trotters is of course the
bay mare Zephyr by Zombro, and from the manner in
which she is taking her work it can readily be seen
just where her people get their enthusiasm. This
mare is a very high class trotter, or else she is a rank
counterfeit, and that she can to-day trot a mile in 2:10
I have not the slightest doubt. She trots so easily,
with such a frictionless gait, and pulls up so fresh that
it seems impossible she can be other than a very high
class mare. I know of several astute horsemen that
believe she is today a better mare than was Eleata
at this time last year, and that unless something goes
amiss the daughter of Zombro will be returned a
winner in the M. & M. Stake at Detroit next month
While it is impossible to accurately gauge a trotter's
capacity before he has ftlt the brunt of a keen contest,
I think one is very safe io proclaiming Zephyr as a
trotter of the first flight. That sbe has tremendous
speed has already been proved. Her manners to all
appearances are perfect, and her way of going is so
frictionless that she should stay and race to t lie end
of along-drawn out contest. This mare is being nicely
prepared by her trainer. She has had very lew fast
miles, and none since her matinee at Memphis, and sbe
finishes with a rush that bespeaks the best uf condi-
tion and a keen relish for her work. Owners of M. &
M. candidates must needs go to the races wuh the
genuine article if they expect to defeat this mare, and
if she does meet defeat, it will be, in all probability, a
blow to the talent, for a mare of her capacity that has
a ready shown herself to be a high class trotter is

most sure to be a pronounced favorite.

A Promising Yearling.

Visalia (Cal.), June 16, 1902.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Inclosed you
will find a picture of my candidate in the Breeders
Stake, My Way. You will pardon me for being a Utile
enthusiastic over her when I give you an account of
her opportunities and ability.

My Way was one year old the 12th day of last Febru-
ary, was a natural pacer, but when I set about to break
her, she never showed any inclination to pace, and
acted like a persistent trotter. I jogged her awhile
barefooted till I had her fairly well broken, so on the
10th of May had her shod to trot, and began to require
of her to step along some. She made speed rapidly
and was good gaited until she learned to trot a quarter
in 50 seconds, but moving any faster she began to show
signs of mixing. I added three ounce toe weignts and
eased up on her again to get her squared away, all to
no avail. I removed her shoes and put a pair of hop-
ples on her, driving her less than a quarter of a mile
wben she broke a coupling strap, only to show me
that she could pace without that disgraceful parapher-
nalia. About three days later, which was on the 6th
day of June, I had her shod light and we began to do
business once more at our newly acquired gait, and
this morning, Monday, June 16th, just ten days from
the time she took her first jog in pacing shoes, she
worked a full quarter for me in 43 seconds, to a 60
pound, high wheeled sulky, and turned about and did
another eighth in 20 seconds, and I think could have
finished the quarter at the same clip had I not pulled
her up.

While this is not phenomenal speed, I doubt if an-
other yearling ever showed greater speed with the
same amount of work. Her individuality, as her picture
will show, is second to oone. Her sire is Stoneway 2:23|
(four year old trial 2:14); first dam Ethel Basler by
Robt. Basler 2:20, second dam by Pasha, third dam by
A. W. Richmond, fourth dam, running bred.

Jacob Brolliar.

[The picture accompanying this letter shows a very
handsomely turned filly, with quality of high order
and at the same time plenty of substance. Her work
shows her to be a good one, and we hope she will fulfill
all the hopes entertained for her by her proud owner. —

The Pierce Sale.

Still a Great Horse.

That horses have a value was clearly demonstrated
at the Occidental Horse Exchange, last Tuesday, when
William G. Layng, the well known live stock auc-
tioneer, disposed of about forty head from the Santa
Rosa and Santa Clara farms of Messrs. Henry and Ira
Pierce. There were a few well broken animals among
those sold, but a very large proportion were only
halter broken, yet the average price paid was close to
$100. The highest prices of the sale were $330 and
$"250, paid for two Diablos. Inferna 2:24) brought the
top figure. He is a pacing stallion and one of the best
bred horses in America, but being a small horse is not
considered a desirable one for stud purpose? in these
days, as breeders want size as well as speed and good
looks. His dam is the mare Biscari (dam of four in
the list) by Director, and she was out of famous old
Bicari by Harold. Iofernais as handsome as a picture,
and they say hU colts on the Santa Rosa Stock Farm
are about the largest and best looking of this year's
foals. His new owner is Lieut. R. E. McNally, of the
U.S. Army, whoisa good judge of a horse and bought
Inferna simply because he saw a good bargain at the
price. The Diablo that sold for $250 was a good look-
ing six year old trotter, that can show a 2:40 gait.
Fourteen horses brought from $100 to $330, the aver-
age of the others being about $85. One or two old
mares that had reached the voting age years ago,
went for less than $15 each and brought down the
average. Such animals should never be sent to the
salesring with a lot of good horses, as the prices re-
ceived do not pay for transportation and reduce the
average, thus detraciing from the reputation of the
farm.

Considering the prices paid in the East for the class
of horses disposed of at this sale, the California market
s a good one for sellers at the present time. ' There is
a lively demand fur road and light express horses and
if animals are in good shape, well bred and sound they
will sell readily. There is a very general opinion
among dealers that present prices will increase and no
one expects a falling off in values for the next two or
three years at least.

The most conspicuous horse in training at the Lex-
ington Fair grounds is the lion-hearted hero of many
seasons' racing, Charley Herr 2:07. This horse has by
sheer merit forced himself to the very front rank of
racing. His career has rot been a bed of roses, he
having had possibly as many different trainers as Joe
Patchen, and it can not be truthfully said that all his
training has been at the hands of a skilled master.
Charley Herr's racing career began as a yearling, and
from that time until to-day he has each season been
asked the question and has never been found wanting,
except when incapacitated, or in other words knocked
out by injudicious training. I doubt very much if a
gamer horse than Charley Herr ever lived. He cer-
tainly is as courageous and true a trotter as has ever
been seen, sticking to the trot under any and all cir-
cumstances and trying for every inch of the journey.
He occupies the unique distinction of never having
been laid up a heat in his life, and out of some thirty-
odd races he has been the contender in the majority
of them. Charley Herr has met most of the greatest
horses of his day; he has been a dangerous factor in
every race in which he was in condition, and when
just fit and well driven, it has taken the very life of
the champion of champions to beat him. Charley
Herr has suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune, combined with unskilful training, and yet he
is as much of a hero to-day as ever, and as much of a
public idol as any horse that was ever bred in Ken-
tucky. Last year it seemed as if he had reached his
end as a racing machine; he seemed hopelessly broken
down, yet this year he comes to life again, is training
to all appearances as well as ever, going better gaited
than I ever saw him at this season of the year, and
has all the speed that has made him so famous. In
fact, 1 doubt very much if ever in his life Charley Herr
had as much brush as now; he can step a quarter any
day and under almost any conditions in 30 seconds,
and while be seems somewhat high in flesh and is
hardly up to a long race, the racing public that is
interested in him can be assured that there is no dan-
ger of his being indulged from now on, as his owner
has given evidence of his intention to give him all the
work that is nectssary to key him up to a hard race.
He trots with as much courage as ever and finishes
resolutely, and from his work I have not the slightest
doubt that if by any chance he is in condition during
the summer he will bsa contender in any race in which
he takes part, no matter how great the company noi
how fast the time; nor would it surprise me :n the
least, should fortune favor him with a skilful driver,
to see him winning in almost any company. His
owner has announced his intention to drive Charley
Herr in all his races. This wonderful horse has sur-
vived many difficulties, and has raced and won under
the most stupendous handicaps. His owner is an
iiODest little Irishman, a kind-hearted, true little man,
a most excellent judge of Jerseys, and a first-class
milkman, but that he is a skilful driver has yet to be
demonstrated. One thing can be assured, however,
and that is that in his efforts as a driver he will try to
win every heat and will keep his horse going from
end to end. — Hdwley in Kentucky Stock Farm.

A Big Contract.

One of the largest deals on record in the furnishing
of horses was made last week by a New York firm,
with the managing director of Barnum & Bailey's cir-
cus, which arrives from Europe next November, bring-
ing back nothing but their menagerie, and will fit out
a brand new show, costing $1,000,000 for the season of
1903. The written contract entered into by the parties
thereto, one of whom represents the largest horse sell-
ing establishment of its kind in the world and the
other the '"biggest show on earth," calls for the de-
livery of three hundred fancy draft horses in the
months of November and December, 1902, and Janu-
ary. 1903. The animals are to be absolutely sound and
from four to seven years old. In height they mus. be
between sixteen and seventeen hands high, and they
must weigh from 1600 to 200O pounds each. The New
York firm agrees to deliver smooth, shapely animals,
with deep, full middles, closely ribbed, on short legs,
and with good dispositions, as they must be shipped
at night after doing their day's work. Three hundred
and thirty-five dollars is the contract price per head
for this lot of horses, the total sum involved in the
deal being $100,500. Larger contracts have been made
for army horses and low grade workers, but it is
doubtful whether any firm of dealers ever received so
heavy an order for strictly higb grade horses of any
type. The price can hardly be taken to represent the
average market value of fancy draft horses. — Am&ir

About Breeding Coach Horses.

[Chicago Breeders Gazette.]

"I desire information concerning: the breeding of
coacb horses. What is an ideal weight for the most
profitable coach horse? What should a mare weigh,
describing- build, to mate with a coach stallion weigh-
ing- 1450 pounds? Farmers in our community have a
great variation of ideas in regard to proper weight
and build. The results from mating with farm mares
so far as I know have been very uncertain, a large per
cent of the colts not being eligible for any class and
with an appearance of a mixture of two or more ideas.

"This subject is comparatively new to many of us
and requires a great deal of study to arrive at proper
understanding. This will never be achieved unless
one has made it a specialty with no other prospects for
a livelihood. Fancy prices paid in our markets are on
a class we are short of. These are given mostly by
the fad trade with do fixed idea but superior confor-
mation and action."

To reply at length to these questions would properly
entail a threshiDg over of the entire coach horse mat-
ter. Within the limits of a reply such as this it is
allowable only to touch the high places, as it were — to
name the salient features in a business that has pro-
voked the attention of some of the brightest minds
and in which many failures have been scored.

The writer proceeds by citing a ring of mares with
coach colts at foot that he once judged at a Wisconsin
fair and a right good fair it was, too. In this ring
were fifteen mares and only one of them was in any
way fitted to be bred to a really high-class coach stal-
lion. The others were grade draft mares and not one
of them showed any degree of quality such as one
might expect from the union of a high class draft stal-
lion and a good native dam. Hairy, nondescript brutes
they were, all but one and that one was a black mare,
standard-bred, and well bred at that. Here is a
description of her and it will serve to give a general
idea of the mare of American stock that is most likely
to produce, to the cover of a coach-bred stallion, a colt
that in time will fill the bill made out for him:

She is 16 hands high, weight not more than 1250
pounds. Her head was not a small head by any means,
but it was wide between the eyes and the countenance
intelligent. The eye was prominent, the ear well
placed, but not small and not too "pointy." She
looked at you like an honest mare, one that would not
fail you in any pinch. Her neck was long and not too
thin, well risen on top, not ewe-necked by any means.
Her withers came well up and her coupling well for-
ward, balancing the mare in action. Her ribs were
well sprung, her quarters ample and her "bread-
basket" such as one likes to see in a broodmare of any
sort. In action she went straight and true, though
never polished up in this respect and when seen later
in harness she took hold of the ground in good shape.
She was sired by a son of Brougham, the old Iowa
celebrity, out of a mare on a Morgan foundation and
her hair and quality of bone could not be denied,
though perhaps fault might have been found with her
as not carrying quite enough "timber." It is certain,
however, that her legs have outworn her body by this
time. Such a mare will always do to breed to a coach
stallion.

The best judges agree that between 1350 and 1450
pounds is the best weight for a coach stallion, depend-
ing on the class of mares he has to cover, providing
always that his other qualifications are ample. If a
stallion has a lot of consorts that do not run to 1200
in weight he ought to weigh around 1400 pounds, but
it must always be remembered that a coach horse
without quality is no coach horse at all and the more
they weigh the harder it is to get them with the quality ,
and the action they must have if they are to succeed
as sires of marketable horses. Perhaps taking it all
around 1350 pounds is the best weight for a coach bred
stallion. He must be what is in colloquial parlance
termed "a perfect beauty." He must havo that strik-
ing appearance which in a gelding hitched to a
brougham and standing by a curb waiting for my lady
will make the passers-by stop and gaze in wonder.
Say what other folks may the vital point in a coach
stallion's make-up is his shoulders. If these are not
laid back properly he will neither go nor stand as he
ought and it is usually found that straight shoulders
in these horses go with long or weak backs and slovenly
action. Given the proper slope to the shoulder and
the neck will rise correctly out of it so that the horse
mav stand at ease on dress parade, with head in air,
without bearing-rein. Give him short upright should-
ers and his neck will stick straignt out in front of him,
necessitating the use of overdraws and other abomin-
ations, much training and untold suffering.

It is probable that straight shoulders are more per.
sistently transmitted by a stallion than any other de-
fect in conformation and yet sometimes a horse with
that defect may, by training and rigging, be made to
deceive very good judges. The awakening comes later
on when his celts are born. Their inclination naturally
is to stub their toes in the ground, not to double up
and fold and send forward their front legs with that
graceful motion that so much resembles the following

of the circumference of a rolling wheel. Add to this
the strong points demanded in any horse and the
coach bred stallion so much desired is described.

The coaching horse is a mixed bred horse at the
best. Unless coupled with the right sort of mares
this conglomeration asserts itself in the manner de-
scribed by our correspondent. Instances can be cited
of excellent coachers having been begotten by thor-
oughbred stallions from grade draft mares. Marshall
Field drove a gray gelding in Chicago for years bred
this way and he was about as good looking a gelding
as there was in that city at the time. For the few
that have come about in this wise thousands have
come to life actual deformities, with the bodies of
drafters and the legs and heads of race horses or vice
versa. So in breeding grade draft mares to coach
stallions there are too many chances to run. Avoid
it. A coacher proper must have good blood all through
to give him the "gimp" he needs. He cannot do what
he is wanted to do if he is one-half drafter.

Coachers must have size and action as well as beauty
of conformation. The old saying that a good big
horse will outsell a good little one was never more
applicable than when speaking of horses of this sort.
Substance must also go with the size: size without
substance, that is, mere pouDds weight, counts for
naught in the eyes of the astute dealer who knows
every crook and turn of the trade and spends his
money accordingly only where he can get it back again
with the largest returns.

The most profitable weight for the coach bred geld-
ing is from 1150 to 1250 pounds, though horses do not
have to weigh so much to bring long prices. As a
matter of fact, however, granting that there is noth-
ing sensational about a horse of this kind, he will sell
to better advantage if he weighs around 1200 than if
he weighs much more or much less. He is then of size
to pull a brougham or large phaeton and if he can do
even a little of the correct act with his knees and
hocks he is sure to find a ready purchaser at a figure
which will well repay the breeder for the prime cost
of production and a handsome bonus as well.

Lexington Entries Break All Records.

Rubber Tire Litigation Ended.

The Grant rubber wire patent was declared void by
the United States Court of Appeals, in a decision
rendered at Cincinnati. May 6th. This decision grows
out of a litigation that has been carried on for the past
five years and which involved the validity of the
Grant patent.

In December, 1898, the suit of the owners of the
Grant patent against the American Rubber Tire Com-
pany was decided in favor cf the patent holders by
Judge Thomas, of the United States Circuit Court of
Brooklyn, N. Y., which held the patent valid.

In 1899 the Goodyear people came into the field
working on a tire, the patent for which they held.
It was called tha Wing patent tire, and the Consoli-
dated people immediately instituted suit against the
Goodyear people, claiming it was an infringement. A
long legal battle followed, the case was heard in March,
1901, and decided in favor of the Consolidated Rubber
Tire Company the following November. The decision
not only held that the Grant patent was valid, but
went further and declared the Goodyear Company to
be infringers.

From this decision an appeal was taken to United
States Court of Appeals, and an injunction was granted
upon the giving of an indemnity bond of $100,000.

The recent decision, coming as it does from a court
of last resort, will create quite an upheaval in the
"rubber world," and the development will be watched
with interest. The litigation has cost thousands of
dollars, and the result will immediately affect every
firm engaged in tho rubber tire business.

Novel Trotting Races.

The program in full for the three day summer
meeting at Oakley is now out, and three events are
carded for the first two days and four for the last day.
Four of the races are early closing events, and the
entries were in some time ago. The six new ones will
close on June 15th. The meeting begins July 2d and
closes on the Fourth. Three of the new ones are in
the nature of a noveltyhereabouts, and they will help
a great deal to brighten up the meeting. The purse
in each of these three events, one of which will be run
each day, is $600. Instead of three heats for the
money it will be run as three separate races. The
winner of the first heat will receive $200, the second
horse $70 and the third horse $30. In the second heat
the winner will get $120, the second horse $50 and the
third horse $20. For the third heat there are but two
moneys — $70 to the first horse and $30 to the second.

The entries received on June 2d by the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Association for their twelve
fixed events or early closiDg races to be contested
during their great ten-day meeting, October 7th to
18th inclusive, is indeed a marvelous one, and both
in the total number cf entries received and in the
average for each race breaks all records ever attained
either by this or any other association. The entries
received for these same races in 1901 was the record
up to that time, and ( hence we give below the entries
for 1902 as compared with those received in 1901:

In the Kentucky's Futurity for three year olds, 72 of
the original entries have been kept good by the pay-
ment of $50 on June 1st, as compared with 37 in 1901.

In the Kentucky's Futurity for two year olds, 103 of
the original entries have been kept in by the payment
of $25 on June 1st, as compared with 102 of 1901.

In The Transylvania, $6000 for 2:12 trotters, 23
different nominations have been subscribed for as
against 20 in 1901.

In The Tennessee, $3000 for 2:08 pacers, 14 nomina-
tions have been subscribed for as against the same
number in 1901.

In The McDowell, $5000 for 2:10 trotters, 32 entries
have been made as against 14 entries in 1901.

In The Walnut Hall Farm Cup, $3000 for 2:15 trot-
ters, 74 entries have been made as against 69 in 1901.

In The Blue Grass, $2000 for 2:19 trotters, 72 entries
have been made as against 57 in 1901.

In The Johnston, $2000 for 2:24 trotters, 57 entries
have been made as against 75 in 1901.

In the West, $2000 for 2:29 trotters, 66 entries have
been made as against 78 in 1901.

In The Kentucky, $2000 for three year old trotters,
76 entries have been made as against 32 in 1901.

In The Lexington, $2000 for two year old trotters,
52 entries have been made as against 43 in 1901.

In The Wilson, $2000 for 2:20 pacers, 50 entries have
been made as against 56 in 1901.

Making a grand total of 691 entries received in 1902
as against a total of 597 in 1901; or an average of
57 7-12 to each race as against an average of 49J in
1901. This record of 57 7-12 to each race has never
been approached by but one other association, which
received a total of 323 entries, but only offered six-
races, making an average of 53 5 6.

The above figures may even yet be changed by addi
tional entries from California or distant States which
have hardly had time to reach the Secretary since the
entries closed.

Secretary E. W. Shanklin and his office force are
busily engaged in preparing this record list of entries
for the printer, and hope to have the same from the
press ready for distribution by the 25th of the present
month.

Stockton's Program Arranged.

The Stockton Driving Club, composed of energetic
young busineBS men who have managed some of the
best fairs ever held in California, will be in line this
this year with a first class program of harness races
for the fair and racing meeting to be held immediately
after the close of the State Fair. The purses to be
given are as follows:

For Trotters— 2:40 class, $600: 2:24 class, $1000; 2:19
class, $600; 2:14 class, $500; free for all, $500.

For Pacers— 2:25 class. $600; 2:20 class, $1000; 2:15
class, $600; 2:12 «lass, $500; free for all, $500.

Entries to these purses will close August 1st, and the
advertisement of same will appear in due time in the
columns of this journal and entry blanks will be sent
to horsemen throughout the country. Coming as it
does between the State Fair and the meeting of the
Breeders Association at Fresno, Stockton will doubt-
less receive entries from every stable being campaigned
on the circuit. The track at Stockton is now in fine
shape and many horses are being worked there. Sec-
retary Willy is sending out advertising matter every
day booming the Stockton fair and inviting people to
make exhibits and entries. The chances are excellent
for the best fair ever held in the metropolis of the
great San Joaquin valley.

At an auction sale of Kentucky saddle horses held
at Pittsburg, Pa., on the 12th inst., prices ranged
from $250 to $750. Coach teams sold the same day for
$1000 and upwards per pair.

California breeders who turn their mares out to run
in the pastures tho year round without fear of losing
them as long as the fences are in order will read with
interest the following item taken from a Missouri
paper: "A mare and colt on the John Klein farm, not
far from Sedalia, were picked up by a tornado on May
25th and carried over a public road and three barbed
fences and landed on the farm of John C. Kahrs with-
out injury, a distance of over half a mile." There is
considerable hot air and windy weather in this State,
which may carry away a few seconds belonging to a
record or a trial, but it is not quite strong enough to
carry off a mare and colt.

Jackson's Napa Soda untangles the feet.

SIR GIBBIE 2d James McDonnell, Portola, S an Mateo C

MCKINNEY 2:11], the greatest sire of extreme
speed of his age in the world, has been sold by
his owner, Chas. A. Durfee of San Jose, to Henry B.
Gentry, proprietor of the Gentry Stock Farm, Bloom-
ington, Indiana. The negotiations were made by
letter and closed this week by telegraph, the price
beiDg $25,000. McKinney will be shipped East on
August 1st, and the breedirg interests of this State
will suffer a severe loss. "We confidently believe that
McKinney's best days in the stud are before him, and
that he will yet sire greater horses than any he has
produced. While California has a very large amount
of McKinney blood, it should have more, as the sons
and daughters of the_great horse will increase in value
as the years go by, and we look to see Eastern men of
means take many of them out of the State during the
next few years. Many offers have been made for his
best son Zombro 2:11, and he, too, may cross the
mountains in the near future. Mr. Durfee purchased
McKinney of his breeder, W. H. Wilson of Cynthiana,
Kentucky, as a two year old and has owned him ever
since. As a race horse McKinney was great but as a
sire he is greater. He was foaled in 1887, took his
record of 2:1 1| at Stockton, September 23, 1893, in the
second heat of a race which he won, and the same
year when he was but six years eld two of his sons
entered the list of standard performers. The follow-
ing year two more were added to his list, Harvey Mac
making a two year old record of 2:18 that season. In
1895 his son Zombro made a triumphal tour of the Cal-
ifornia circuit, getting a record of 2:13 as a three year
old, McZeus reduced his trotting record to 2:13. and
Harvey Mac dropped into the 2:15 list with a mark of
2:14J. This was his start as a sire of 2:15 performers,
and last year when but fourteen years of age his list
of horses in this select circle numbered 19, which is
more than any horse in the world ever accomplished
a* the same age. This list is headed by Conev 2:02.
T le leading sire of 2:15 performers is Alcantara, an-
(- uer son of Alcyone. Alcantara has twenty-eight 2:15
p ..formers at 25 years of age, and it need not surprise

anyone if McKinney should jump into the lead within
the next two years as there are enough of his sons and
daughters now in training that have the necessary
speed to place him there. McKinney is by Alcyone,
believed by many to be the greatest son of George
Wilkes. His dam is Rosa Sprague by Gov. Sprague
2:20^. second dam by Mambrino Messenger, third dam
by Mambrino Chief, fourth dam by imported Napoleon,
fifth dam a thoroughbred mare by Tempest. In
breeding, individuality, racing qualities and as a pro-
genitor of extreme speed he is great. Much of Mc-
Kinney's success in the stud is due to the fact, which
we think every unprejudiced person will admit, that
he has been owned by a gentleman who has managed
him in a masterly manner. Mr. Durfee believed him
to be a great prospect when he purchased him in Ken-
tucky, and has never lost faith in him to this day.
He selected good mares to breed to him, trained and
raced his colts to records and was ever ready to pay a
good price for a promising son ov daughter of his stal-
lion whenever possible. We expect to see Mr. Durfee
take one or more of the sons of McKinney aDd make
producing sires of them in a short time as he owns
several that are royally bred and great individuals.
We shall regret to see this grand stallion leave the
State and can only congratulate Mr. Gentry on getting
him, aDd Mr. Durfee, who is not a man of wealth, on
getting a price for his horse, that while less than his
real value, will come in very handy for the rainy days
that may come but which we know can never entirely
obscure the bright sunshine of his disposition.

AN OPPORTUNITY is offered before July 1st for
**■ the owners of foals of 1902, to secure a few entries
in Pacific Breeders $6000 Futurity. According to the
conditions of this stake where a mare dies, or fails to
foal, or the foal dies, another may be substituted re-
gardless of ownership. The third payment of $5 on
foals of this year is due July 1st. There will be a few
who made entries who have been so unfortunate as to
lose their foals, and their nominations are for sale for
the amount already paid in. Owners of foals of this
year who desire to enter them in the stake should
send $13 to Secretary F. W. Kelly, 36 Geary street,
before Jul/ 1st, together with a description and pedi-
gree of the foal and a nomination will be secured for
them. It may not be that all who apply can be accom-
modated, but the rule of "first come, first served"
will be followed, and money returned to those whose
applications can not be filled. This is one of the rich-
est stakes that will be contested for in 1904 and 1905,
and is worth naming every well bred foal in for which
a nomination can be secured.

T^HE FIRST DAY OF JULY is a date that should
1 not be permitted to pass by the horsemen without
making out their entries for the big purses hung up
by the Los Angeles, Woodland, Santa Barbara and
Salinas associations. Napa, Vallejo, and the Breeders
have filled their purses well thus far and there is every
prospect of the best season of racing held in the State
for years. Get in and go down the line with your
horses.

ENTRIES close July 1st for the September meeting
of the Minnesota State Fair at the celebrated
HamliDe track, where forty thousand people congre-
gate to see the harness races. There are two purses
of $5000 each and nine of $1000 each. If you are going
East don't miss the Hamline meeting. E. W. Randall
is Secretary. Send your entries to him in time.

THE CALIFORNIA CIRCUIT promises to be a
success beyond the fondest hopes of those who
were its most confident and enthusiastic supporters.
The promise that there would be no bookmaking on
harness events at a majority of the meetings put maDy
a horse in training that would otherwise have been
kept away from the tracks and the generous purses
all down the line have attracted a splendid list of en-
tries. Vallejo has filled five purses with from 10 to 16
entries in each, Napa filled eight with an average of
ten entries. The Oakland meeting, which follows
Napa, will announce ten harness events next week.
Woodland's purses, ten in number from $400 to $750,
close July 1st. The State Fair has made a preliminary
announcement of six big purses of $1200 and $1000
each and will follow with 14 more of less value*
Stockton has a generous list, two purses of $1000 each
being among them. The Breeders meeting at Fresno
will follow Stockton. The California, a $2000 purse
for 2:24 class trotters received twenty- two entries and
the $1000 pace seventeen. Another batch of big purses
for this meeting will follow soon. Bakersfield has not
yet announced its program, but has plenty of time, as
its meeting does not begin until October 4th. The Los
Angeles program is already advertised in our columns.
As usual, it is a very generous. one. Two purses of
$1000 each and the others $700. When the circuit
programs are looked over it will be found that there
are larger and better purses to trot and pace for here
than in any locality in the Union, with the exception
of the Grand Circuit. It is a great pleasure to know
that owners are responding so liberally with entries to
the classes closed so far. There is more enthusiasm
over the outlook than there has been for years, and
with good management every district fair in California
should make a big success of its meeting this year.

THE DERBIES AND STAKES of the Buffalo
RaciDg Association are advertised in our business
column? to-day. Nominations close July 1st.

Secretary W. T. Kelly announces in our advertising
columns that the Vallejo association will re-open purses
No. 6 and 7, which are the 2:15 and 2:12 trotting classes.
Six entries are required to fill these races, nominations
to close June 30th, and horses to be named August 1st.

The following new purses will also be opened: 2:40
trot, purse $500, and free-for-all pace, $500; entries to
close June 30th, and horses to be named with entry.

These races should fill and furnish one of the best
programs of harness races ever seen in this State.

The trotting turf editor of the Inter-Ocean thinks
the time has come for a change in the methods of con-
ducting light harness horse racing. In an article on
the subject he speaks of the slowness with which re-
forms are adopted, and as an illustration says: "Ten
years ago or more, mile heats, three in five, often split
up and carried over until the next day, was condemned
by a few owners, whose bitter experience and heavy
losses in valuable horses ruined were used as illustra-
tions, but with little apparent effect. Progressive
associations pointed to empty grand stands (that were
filled when the race began) at the finish of a seven or
nine-heat race, and clamored for a change. One by
one the trainers and bookmakers have gotten in line,
until now the man who defends the present system
finds as much opposition as he who first advocated a
change. Up to the present time- experiments have
been anything but satisfactory. The Northwestern
Breeders Association tried a few dash races in 1892,
but the opposition from prominent drivers and the
poolsellers put a wet blanket on their efforts. Smaller
associations found it more expensive and soon gave it
up, but still the change has been advocated by increas-
ing numbers and with more force, until it seems the
time has arrived for a change. Horsemen realize they
can race longer and more often if races are shorter and.
limited." The writer does not know that dash races
or the Memphis plan will solve the problem, but he
says: "One thing is certain — short, sharp and decisive
races must be inaugurated by some system, no matter
what, as owners, a majority of the drivers, who pay at
the gate, demand it, which is, after all, the main point
to be considered."

BIG PURSES AT STATE FAIR.

Harness Horses Will be Liberally Provided for
in the Program.

In a letter to tbe Breeder and Sportsman,
Assistant Secretary Harry Lowden of the California
State Agricultural Society, whose duty it is to look
after tbe racing end of the big annual fair at Sacra-
mento, states that at its next meeting the Board of
Directors will pa»s on the following early closing races:

2:30 class, trot, purse $1200

2:20 class, trot, purse 1000

2:15 class, trot, purse 1000

2:2o class, pace, purse 1200

2: 1 8 class, pace, purse 1000

2:13 class, pace, purse 1000

These are nomination purses, to close Saturday,
August 2d. Horses to be named and eligible Monday,
September 1st. All heats three in five. Five per cent
entrance, five percent additional from money winners.
Further conditions later when authorized by the
Board.

In addition to these it is proposed to give an Open
Road race for trotters and pacers, open to the whole
State. Purse or trophy, $1000, heats, three in five,
five per cent entrance and five percent additional from
money winners. To close and horses to be named

A pacing purse, $500, for three year olds, heats 3 in
5, will also be given. This will give, including the
Occident and Stanford Stakes, ten harness races,
leaving 14 more to be filled. The Board can more in-
telligently announce the additional classes about the
middle of August, when they will have knowledge of
what material there is to be drawn from and the
classes to provide good contests, and in the meantime
some fast ones will perhaps develop to fill a free for all
pace, or other fast classos in trots and paces.

Several parties are desirous of having selling races
for slow trots and paces conditioned on the lines of
running races, winner to be sold at auction for $300,
and a claiming clause, where any other horse in the
race can be claimed for $300 and the amount won by
the first horse. They claim it will secure a well
matched field and give the l poorer class of horses a
chance to compete against each other.

The road race for gentlemen drivers should bring
together some of our best amateur drivers from all
parts of the State. They will be allowed to take either
cash premiums or a trophy of some value. The inten-
tion of this race is to encourage the market for road
horses and induce gentlemen to join driving clubs.
The Board will probably give another — a kind of con-
solation— to those contesting in this if in fills satisfac-
tory.

It will be seen from the above that the State Agri-
cultural Society intends giving a program this year
that will not only be liberal but very attractive and
entries should be numerous in all the classes offered.
Besides those announced above there will be no less
than fourteen additional purses arranged to close later
on, and as no bookmaking will be permitted on harness
events, horsemen who have likely winners will look
forward to a better season of racing this year than
California has seen for sometime. The State Agri-
cultural Society has the interests of the harness horse
at heart and will do everything to advance them. As
soon as the Board acts officially on these purses the
advertisement, giving conditions and other particulars
will appear in these columns. We hope every owner
will make an effort to have as many entries as possible
at the State Fair this year, It will be the greatest
meeting on the circuit and gives every promise of
being more largely attended than ever before.

Antezella 2:10,1, the rugged looking son of Anteeo
that came to Buffalo from the half-mile tracks last
August and won such a good race, is likely to be talked
about a great deal before the end of tbe present sea-
son. He is in George Spear's stable at Detroit, and he
has been a faster mile this spring than any other
trotter in that trainer's stable. Antezella is not only
a good-gaited trotter with plenty of speed and a good
actor, but he is a royally bred horse, as his dam Ga-
zelle was by Guy Wilkes, while his grandam was Eva
2:23J, by Sultan, and her dam was the. famous Minne-
haha, that produced among others, Beautiful Bells
2:29i, the dam of Chimes, St. Bel, Bell Boy, Belsire,
Electric Bell, etc. _

Salt makes animals more lively, strong and capable
of resisting disease. Their flesh is harder for it, and
the functions of the body more regular. Their diges-
tion is better, and they can feed on fodder that other-
wise might be injurious to health. Moreover, with
the assistance of salt, Ih^ycan extract more nourish-
ment from a given quantity of fodder, since the flow
of the digestive liquids is more copious. Give salt
witb food difficult to digest.

Secretary Sha»y and His Single Footer.

Some of the best horsemen of Washington complain
that they have been grossly deceived by Secretary
Shaw and his mild mannered riding horse. The Sec-
retary of the Treasury dresses in black, wears a long
frock coat, walks to and from the Department, and is
generally mistaken for a Methodist preacher by those
who do not know him. Soon after he came to Wash"
ington as a member of the cabinet the Secretary
brought from Iowa a saddle horse. It was accepted
in administration circles as an indication that the man
intended to follow tbe Washington fashion as far as
he was able and ride a horse once in a while to show
that he was in the swim.

President Roosevelt has several saddle horses in the
White House stables and rides almost every day.
Secretary Root has a fine Kentucky saddle horse and
sometimes rides with tbe President. The new Sec-
retary of tbe Navy, Mr. Moody, also rides and so does
Attorney General Knox, who has one of the best
stables in Washington. Senators and representatives
and army officers ride much, and they were all anxious
to see Secretary Shaw's horse and be in the first com
pany that tbe Secretary joined for a ride into the
country. They speculated on the quality of horseflesh
the Secretary had brought on from the great agri-
cultural. State of Iowa, where they raise the oest draft
horses in the country, and there were many good
natured jokes about the new man on horseback who
had come to Washington.

Finally Secretary Shaw made his first appearance
on horseback. The horse was not entirely disappoint-
ing. It was not a draft horse, nor a plow borse of any
degree, but it was not a war charger such as General
Miles rides, nor one that resembled the President's
spirited horse that starts off with a jump and con-
tinues to gallop until the end of the ride. It would
Dot take the the blue ribbon at the county fair when
the saddle horses are shown, but it was a saddle horse,
slender of limb, well gaited and well behaved. It
moved over the asphalt pavement as silently as an
automobile runabout, and the Secretary sat in his sad-
dle as comfortably as he might in his swivel chair at
his desk. The riders of Washington laughed and said
the Secretary of the Treasury was conservative in all
things. He looked the Methodist circuit rider as he
and his horse glided about the streets of the capital.
He had many invitations to join riding parties, and he
last week accepted one of these from a group of young
men who pride themselves on being rough riders,
capable of following the hounds across any course in
the District of Columbia.

They got along very nicely while they were within
the city limits. The secretary's single-footer was in
the rear column, gliding along like a toy rocking horse,
and the secretary, with his clerical garb, was as sober
as though on his way to a funeral. Representative
Newlands of Nevada and Representative Littlefield of
Maine led the way to the country near Rock Creek
Park, and they thought to test the horsemanship of
the secretary. The others were in the secret, and
they were a jolly party when they left the paved street
for the country road over the hills.

Secretary Shaw and his Iowa horse both seemed to
wake up just then. They took the lead, and they
followed the road only to the first bridle path, which
led up a steep hill. Up the hill went Shaw and his
horse, without regard to the brush on either side of
the patch. The other riders looked at each other in
some surprise at the temerity of the secretary in
leaving the good road for the bridle oaths of that
region, where only the best cross-country riders ven-
ture. The bridle path did not satisfy Secretary Shaw
and his horse. Where the patch skirted the steepest
part of the hill the secretary turned out into the thick
underbrush, and his horse went up over rocks and
through the brush like a mountain goat.

The others in the party followed as best they could,
and when they all arrived at the top of the hill there
was the secretary of the treasury sittiDg calmly on his
horse, looking off over the beautiful panorama of city
and river and country spread out before him. "Here,
gentlemen, is where I propose to build my house. It
is the finest location I have been able to find near the
city. See that view, and the beautiful road leading up
to this place! There is nothing finer or more exhila-
rating in the district." The others were too tired and
sore to enjoy the scene.

As they looked down tbecourse over which they had
come they also had many forebodings as to how they
were to retrace their way to the level country and
back to the city. But the secretary and his Iowa
horse did not give them long to consider these new
difficulties. They went down by a more hazardous
route than that by which they had come, and when
the party got back into Washington, Newlands and
Littlefield swore that they had seen Secretary Shaw's
horse actually climb trees like a mountain goat. The
other members of the party had more extravagant

similes to use in telling about the extraordinary things
dune by the little rocking horse which the secretary
of the treasury iode on that expedition. They de-
clared that the President was not in it with the Iowa
man who had joined the cabinet and who looked so
much like a preacher.

Tbe only man of the party who was able to be at hU
desk the next day was Secretary Shaw, and when in
the afternoon he sent his messenger to invite some of
the gentleman to join him in another ride to see
another beauty spot in the district, they all had urgent
engagements that compelled them to decline with
regrets. Secretary §haw again rides alone or with
only his private secretary, a new-comer from the same
part of the country as himself, to accompany him.
They go and come through the streets of Washington
as quielly as when the secretary began riding his Iowa
horse and many people still laugh at the pretense of
the Western man trying to keep up with the style in
Washington, where everybody professes to ride and
all talk horse. But the men who invited Shaw to ride
into the country with them say that the new secre-
tary of the treasury is a sly deceiver, who is not all he
looks.

Changes in California Jockey Club Officials.

Following the recent resignation of Charles F. Price
as general manager of the New California Jockey Club,
it is announced that a general change is to be made in
the track management of that organization for next
season.

At the meeting of the Jockey Club directors two
weeks ago it was decided to dispense with the services
of Joseph Murphy as presiding judge and Handicapper
J. W. Brooks.

Thomas H. Williams, Jr., president of the club, has
announced that Ed C. Hopper had been chosen for the
position of presiding judge and that he would also act
as the club's handicapper.

C. T. Pettingill will be associate judge and president
of the board of stewards. Former Assistant Manager
V. W. Treat, acting secretary under the late R. B.
Milrcy, has been chosen secretary. The new board of
stewards, to be presided over by Pettingill, will consist
of E. C. Hopper, Col. Dan Burns, Fred Mulholland and
T. H. Williams. Starters Dwyer and Holtman have
both been re-engaged.

It has been decided to open the winter season on
November 15th at the Oakland track, after which
racing will be conducted alternately at Tanforan and
Oakland.

The list of stakes now in preparation will differ from
those of the previous season, in that, with the excep-
tion of the $10,000 Burns handicap, all will consist of
added money.

None of the race tracks in America or Europe can
compare with the magnificent equipments of the track
at Koudan, Japan. It is about a third of a mile in
circumference, and all the way around are rows of
splendid stone trimmings, such as ponderous lamps
and posts, railings and the like, which make up for the
absence of the grand stand. This track is purely
Japanese, and as such is more of a novelty, than either
of the famous tracks of the country, one at Ueno
Park, Tokio, and the other near Yokohama.

Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and
hamlet in the State.

World's Fly-Casting Tournament.

The San Francisco Fly-Casting Club announces a
scientific angling- tournament to be held at Stow lake,
in Golden Gate Park, this city, on August 8 and 9,
1902. The contests will be for the World's champion-
ships in fly-casting and in lure-casting, and will be
open to tho members of all recognized angling clubs.
The events will be:

Rods not to exceed 81 ounces.

4. Combined accuracy and delicacy fly-casting at
buoys 35, 40 and 45 feet. Rods not to exceed 5| ounces.

5. Lure casting at buoys 60, 70, SO, 90 and 100 feet.
The lure will be a half-ounce rubber frog. ■■-'•■ — rr~X

6. Team contest bjtween clubs. Two men constitute
ajteam. The events included in the team contest will
be those above described under the heads 2, 3, 4 and 5.

No rod shall exceed eleven feet in length. All cast-
ing to be done single handed. Leaders are to be of
single gut, and shall be between 6 and 9 feet in length.

No effort or expense will be spared to make this
tournament a memorable one.

Medals and prizes — The winner iu each of the five
contests will receive a diamond championship medal.
In addition to the medal there will be many valuable

O, man of gentle mould, of kindly heart,

Who loved the woodbird's note, the streamlet's song
Thine was a peaceful way, a worthy part,

That made thee Nature's friend thy lifetime long.
No dreams of empty pomp thy simple mind

Could tempt from rural joys, from pleasures sweet,
Nor court nor courtiers round thee slyly wind

Soft bands of love to stay thy roving feet.
Where grew the meadow-blooms of early spring,

And health danced briskly round like satyr wild.
There did thy care-free laugh so loudly ring,

That grave, slow wisdom looked on thee and smiled.
And new, soft graces sent with added years,

To win a brother's smile, and stay his tears.

Deputy Fish Commissioner Merklinger, of Truckee,
last week, assisted by C. T. Bender, placed 50,000 rain-
bow trout fry in the Truckee river. These little fish
were taken from the hatchery and located in the stream
between the Sparks' ranch and the Riverside Hotel.
Within two weeks 75,000 more trout fry will be placed
in the river.

merchandise prizes awarded in each event. The tro-
phy for the team contest will be a silver loving cup,
which shall become the property of the club whose
team shall win the contest.

Transportation — At the time of the tournament the
Knights of Pythias, 60.000 strong presumably, will be
holding a conclave in San Francisco. Special rates on
all lines of travel to San Francisco will be made. There
will be a $50 rate from Chicago to San Francisco and
return, and from other cities in the East and the Mid-
dle West proportionately low rates will be in effect.

In order to more effectively serve the interests of
those devoted to the "gentle art," it is proposed that
at the time of the tournament in San Francisco, a
national organization of Fly Casting and Angling
Clubs be established. The advantages to be derived
from such an organization are many, some of which
are:

The adoption of a uniform code of laws and rules to
govern contests and tournaments; the influence of
legislation for the proper protection of fish; the pro-
motion of scientific angling; the formation of clubs
throughout the Union, and the promotion of good
fellowship among anglers.

At the preliminary meeting any recognized club in
the United States may be represented by proxy, if it
be impossible to send a member as a delegate.

August is about the best month for fly fishing in
California, and it is the purpose of the club members
to give the visiting brother anglers some fishing trips
that they can talk about. The salt water salmon fish-
ing alongthe coast of Central and Northern California
and the tuna and yellow tail fishing at Catalina Island
and along the coast of Southern California, afford
kingly entertainment. The rivers and the lakes of
the Sierra Nevadas abound in trout, and the angler
plies bis art in the midst of grand scenery.

Fuller particulars, regarding the rules and other
matters pertaining to the tournament will be furnished
on application to T. W. Brotherton, Secretary-Treas-
urer, Room No. 27, Wells Fargo Building, San Fran-
cisco, Cal.

For this season's outing and angling trips the fly-

casters can avail themselves of a rate sshedule offered
by the Southern Pacific Company, which has fixed
following round-trip rates for members of club and
their families: Cbico, $5.90; Baird, $9 50; Sims, $9.50;
Ager, $14; Ashland, $19; Grant's Pass, $21.50; Mc-
Cloud, $12; Cisco, $6.40; Truckee, $8.30; Boca, $8.70;
Verdi, $9.50. Shasta tickets are good for the season.
Sierra ticketB are good only for 30 days.

A merry party of anglers and guests sat around the
tastefully arranged and flower bedecked banquet
board at the club dinner of the San Francisco Fly-
Casting Club on the evening of the 12th inst. The
main topic of interest presented was in discussing
arrangements for the world's fly casting tournament.
Prizes in medals and trophies aggregating $1000 in
value wid be competed for and merchandise prizes
worth at least $1000 will be distributed. In fact, there
will be enough prizes to enable every contestant to win
a token of greater or lesser value. This tournament,
if carried out on the lines proposed, which plan now
can be considered as a certainty, will be the greatest
event of its kind ever held.

AdAices from Chicago and Grand Rapids assure the
attendence of contestants representing the fly-casting
clubs in those two cities. The entries for each event
will close when the first contestant puts out his line.

Fly-casting clubs will be organized in Portland and
Spokane and possibly one in Los Angeles; the sport
seems to be a nopular and growing one and is finding
many supporters among Coast anglers and sportsmen.

George W. Powers, J r., was elected a member of the
club by unanimous vote.

Walter D. Mansfield addressed the club at some
length, during his discourse quoting from a witty and
happy speech by Ambassador Choate at a banquet of
the Anglers Club in London. I. R. Drubb, on behalf
of Horace Smyth, presented a message of good fellow-
ship that was received with applause and a toast to
Mr. Smyth was drunk standing. The other speakers
were Judge John Hunt, Alex F. Vogelsang, John Law-
rence. Dr. HiDbard, John Peltier and John Butler.
Mr. Butler was appointed sergeant-at-arms for the
club.

Communications from President Roosevelt and ex-
President Grover Cleveland were read. The President
declined, owing to his official position, deeming it in-
adivsable at the present time, to become an honorary
member of the club. Grover Cleveland is not only an
angler but is also a member of the club. About this
time matters began to assume a somewhat facetious
aspect, urged on by Fred Lees and John Lawrence.
John Butler proposed "his dear friend" Edward VII.
for membership. Butler was sincere. His recent
patent of nobility and title, "Duke of Hayden," has
given him a most positive and important standing
among all sportsmen who use bait carried in a flask.
Alec Vogelsang seconded the motion and also placed
in nomination Oom Paul, stating that the oH gentle-
man was now out of a job and the club could make an
angler out of him who would excel John Gallagher,
the champion of Oakland.

During the evening a letter from John Siebe was
read. It was sent from a point in the Mojave Desert
and gave a detailed account of a rainstorm which pre-
vailed during the writer's stay in the arid regions.
The humor of this epistle was appreciated by the
assembled company, Vogelsang vouched for the truth
of Siebe s "hoodoo" qualities on an angling trip,
claiming that every time he wag one of a party it in-
variably rained, that in fact he was a genuine rain-
maker.

Anotner story told of Siebe related how the smiling
John hunted for himself when he was lost Several
weeks ago, "W. D. Mansfield, Ed Everett and Siebe
were up on the Sacramento fishing. One evening all
of the party returned to the hotel except Siebe. Some
little anxiety was felt for the missing angler as it grew
later and later. Finally a messenger, an Indian, was
sent off up the river after the delinquent The Indian
at last located Siebe, complacently sitting in a boat
and fishing. The Indian made known his quest, that
he was hunting for a "lost man," Siebe immediately
came ashore and helped the trailer, carrying one of
two lanterns the Indian had with him. They crossed
the river and hunted and hunted and finally struck a
trail: they followed the "sign" for a while until the
tracks doubled back, and traced the evidences of some
one's passage over boulders and through brush along
the river bank until they reached the hotel and found
that in hunting for Siebe lost they found Everett at
the hotel.

Among those present at the dinner were: W. D. Mansfield, H. F
Muller, Judge John Hunt, Ales T Vogelsang, I. R D Grubb, T.
W. Brotherton, H. Battu John Peltier, Carlos G. Young. John
Lawrence. A. M. Blade. Fred Lees, Dr. W E. Brooks, C. R. Keu-
niff, J. B Kenniff, Charles H. Kewell J. S Turner. A S. Carman,
Achille Roos, W. W. Richards. C. W. Hibbard, Charles Huyck,

Dewitt and Robert Smyth.

Perhaps nowhere else in the world, remarks Shootiny
and J?ishii\q, are shotguns given such severe use as in
the United States. An active trap shot in this country
probably shoots his gun more times in a year than a
sportsman abroad shoots one in several years. It is
estimated that an enthssiastic and active trap shot
fires his gun from ten to fifteen thousand times a year.
The grand American Handicap Tournament report is
a particularly striking illustration of the popularity
of American shotguns and a demonstration of their
shooting qualities. A majority of trap shooters in
this country use American made shotguns, and use
them so well there can be no doubt as to their shooting
qualities.

A litter of six English Setter puppies by HerrSchott
(Duke of Oregon-Pink II) out of Illma (Cavalier-Kitty
R.) has turned out excellently. Mr. Taft has disposed .
of all of the youngsters. Lady Bellevue, a bitch
puppy is now in the hands of D. W. Lloyd, who be-
lieves she will mature into a splendid and handsome
looking field dog. For a puppy she is a pretty one.

Salmon fishing at Santa Cruz has not heen near as
good recently as can he found in Monterey hay near

Stonehenge vs. Some Field Trial Setters.

[Continued from last week J
The greater frequency of a good nose without "tail
action" in the Pointer than in the Setter, supposing it
to exist, may, I think, be explained in the following
way: Both the original Pointer and the Spaniel un-
doubtedly always possessed "tail action," which has
probably been lost in many examples of each breed by
crossing with the hound. Now, the Foxhound chiefly
tries for the foot scent, and so does the Spaniel; while
the peculiarity of the true Pointer is that he carries
his head high in the air, trying for the body scent, in
which ho is imitated by the best Setter strains. As a
consequence, according to my theory, the hound cross
was borne by the Pointer, while it was fatal to the
Setter, making the latter — who had by a long process
of selection, lost the Spaniel's kind of nose in the hands
of the most successful breeders — return to his original
low carriage of head and "quest" of the foot scent.

There is a quality of great importance to the enjoy-
ment of a good day's shooting over Setters or Pointers
which has not in our field trials been, I think, suffici-
ently attended to — namely, the mental development
necessary to distinguish between a "false point" and
on« really on game. Even in partridge shooting it is
a great nuisance to be dragged all across a large field
without seeing furor feathers before you, your dog
standing "as stiff as a crutch;" but on a grouse moor
it is still worse. Of course, even the best dog will
occasionally make a mistake, but to be constantly mis-
leading his master is an unmitigated bore. There are
two or three causes of this "false pointing. " First, a
dog may be so bred as to develop the tendency by
association of ideas; that is to say, to point without
any scent at all- and only lrom some indication either
of eye or ear. Secondly, a point often occurs from a
dog feeling the scent which has been left behind by
birds or "fur" recently g\me away; and, thirdly, some
soft or lazy dogs point when they are tired, simply to
get a rest from their gallop. Wow, as to the first of
these causes, I have had little or no personal experi-
ence in the Setter, but I have certainly seen itstrongly
developed in the old-fashioned Pointer, and notably
in a well known strain kept very pure by the late Lord
Foley, which, like the Laverack Setters, were very
much inbred; but they were very different from that
strain in point of stamina and courage, and reauired
no breaking whatever. I should not, therefore, from
their example have suspected its existence in the Lav-
eracks, which aresaid to require a great deal of break-
ing; although, since it was alleged against them as a
fault, I can call to mind the fact that Sir R. Garth's
Daisy, when she won at Shrewsbury in 1869, began to
point almost as soon as she was cast off by her breaker,
and the general impression was that it was a trick, for
which E. Armstrong got the blame, as her false point
ended in a draw; and this going on till she came on
game, Daisy obtained credit which it was thought she
did not deserve. Not having seen Blue Belle III. at
Horseheath, I must depend on the evidence of the
Field reporter, who describes her as manifesting the
fault five times in succession in a short time, pointing
and staring about her when on the point in a way to
show clearly that no game was before her. Assuming
this account to be correct — as I have no doubt it is —
it certainly corroborates "Setter's" statement in a
remarkable manner and endorses the opinion generally
formed that thestrain is too much inbred. Most prob-
ably Mr. Laverack selected for stud purposes those
animals which showed the greatest tendency to point
naturally, and in this way obtained the cataleptic tend-
ency to excess. But this propensity is by no means
objectionable when crossed with other strains, and
hence we have seen such good dogs as Mr. Field's
Daisy, Mr. MacDona's Ranger, Mr. Brewis' Dash II.
and Mr. Purcell Llewellin's Noma and Nora.

The second kind of "false point" is the most common
and should be severely punished in the fully broken
dog by every means short of the whip. Most break-
ers, and especially when preparing for field trials, are
content to get a point, whether false or true, since the
practice usually has been at public trials to give the
dog credit for the point, if in the opinion of the judge
game has recently gone away, whether the dog has
made out his mistake or not. But the experienced
sportsman is not content with such a mental defect
and expects his Pointer or Setter to tell him clearly
whether or no he is certain of a find. The nose should
be keen enough to make a dog stop in his gallop, how-
ever slight the scent, and he should even point; but
no sooner is the stop made than he should set his
brains to work to discover the actual presence or ab-
sence of game, which is easily made out by a clever
dog, who soon finds the scent diminish if not kept up
by a fresh supply from the bird or ground game. To
be able to say with certainty that Grouse or Duke has
game before him and to march any distance to him
with confidence is a pleasure only equalled b}' the an-
noyance suffered, when after a long march a blank is
the result. Hence, I think it highly important that a
"false point" repeated more than once in a short trial
should be regarded as a fatal defect in selecting a dog
or bitch for stud purposes. As to the third kind of
false point arising from laziness alone, I need scarcely
remark that a dog exhibiting it is only fit for a hempen
collar or a charge of Bhot.

THE ENGLISH SETTER.

Since the first publication of the articles on the vari-
ous breeds of dogs in the Field, during the years 1865-6,
the strain of English Setters known by the name of
"Laverack," from the gentleman who bred them,
has carried all before it, both on the show bench and
in the public field trials which have been annually
held. For this high character it is generally indebted
to the celebrated Countess, who was certainly an ex-
traordinary animal, both in appearance and at work;
for until she came out the only Laverack wbicb had
shown to advantage was Sir R. Garth's Daisy, a good
average bitch. Though small, Countess was possessed
of extraordinary pace, not perhaps equal to that of
the still more celebrated Pointer Drake, but approach-
ing so closely to it that hig superiority would be dis-
puted by many of her admirers. On referring to her
portrait, it will be seen that her frame, though on
short legs, is full of elegance, and her beautiful head
and neck are absolutely perfect. With her high pace
she combined great power and endurance, and her
chief fault was that she never could be fully depended
on; for, when fresh enough to display her speed and
style to the full, she would break away from her mas-
ter and defy his whistle until she had taken her fling
over a thousand acres or so. On a good scenting day
it was a high treat to see her at work; but, like most
other fast gallopers, she would sometimes flush her
game on a bad scenting day, and then she would be
wild with shame. An instance of this occurred at the
Bala field trials of 1872, when on her appearance in the
stake for braces with her sister Nellie, both of these
bitches were utterly beyond thecontrol of Mr. Buckell,
who worked them, Nellie even chasing a bird like a
raw puppy. To get rid of this wildness. they were
worked hard on the day which intervened between
their appearance in the braces and Countess' trial in
the Rhiwlas Stakes, when she came out as stale as a
poster and was only placed third to Ranger and Belle.
Still, though manifestly beaten, she evidently was so
from bad judgmant alone on the part of those who
managed her; and she only injured the character of
the stock to which she belongs, to show that, like
most high-couraged Setters, they require a certain
amount of work to keep them steady, which it appears
she had not had. Neliie, the sister, was of the same
size, but not so fait or so elegant; still she was good
enough to beat the crack on one occasion at Vaynol in
1872, but on most days she would have stood no chance
against Countess. She served to show that Countess
was not wholly exceptional, as was sometimes alleged
by the detractors of the "LaYerack"; and these two
bitches, together with SirR. Garth's Daisy, may fairly
be adduced as indicating that at all events these Lav-
erack bitches were quite first-class.

No dog, however, of the pure breed has yet put in
an appearance at any field trial with any pretensions
to high form, but several winners have appeared half
or quarter bred of that strain. For example, Mr.
Statter's Bruce by Dash (Laverack) out of owner's
Rhoebe, and his Rob Roy by Fred II. (also Laverack)
out of the same bitch, may be adduced; but Dick and
Dan by Duke (of the Corbet and Graham strain) out
of Rhoebe, were tar superior to these dogs, and serve
to show that, at all events as crosses for other breeds,
that Laveracks are not to be so highly recommended
as Mr. Lort and other disciples of the "Laverack"
school would lead us to believe. The cross which has
been most successful is that of Mr. Lort's Sir R.
Garth's and Mr. Paul Hackett's blood, culminating in
the third remove from the Laverack kennel in Mr.
Macdona's Ranger. This dog was fully as fast as
Countess, with a keener nose and far better tempera-
ment, being, when in form, as steady and dependable
as a steam locomotive. Mr. Macdona's favorite may
be classed Al among the field trial winners in a quintet
including Drake, Countess, Dash II., and Belle; the
Irish Setter, Plunkett, approaching them very nearly
but not quite reaching their level. Boll and Frank,
who won several prizes on the show bench, are of the
same cross as the grandsire of Ranger, all being out
of Lort's Dip by a Laverack dog, and respectively
named Rock and Fred II. Roll was a grand dog in
shape, with the exception of his loin, in which a certain
amount of slackness was displayed when a little out of
condition, as he generally was when shown, being a
shy feeder. I am told by Mr. Lort, who shot over
him for some time, that he was as good in the field as
on the bench, but when I tried him he had no nose
whatever. His pace was very great, with the usual
quiet trail of flag; and the Spaniel-like character
peculiar to the Laverack dogs is also quite lost in him
by the cross with the Anglesea bitch Dip.

Next to this cross comes that with the Corbet and
Graham strains as shown in Mr. Brewis' Dash II., who
this year, 1877, has beat Ranger in two out of three
stakes at Shrewsbury and Horseheath and whose por-
trait I have selected, with that of Countess, to illus-
trate this breed as excellent specimens of the high
bred English Setter, though the dog is still, in my
opinion, a little too Spaniel-like in the shape of the
body. He and his sister Daisy, also a field trial win-
ner, are by Laverack 's Blue Prince out of Armstrong's
Old Kate. This bitch is by Laverack 's old Blue Dash
out of E. Armstrong's Kate, sister to his Duke, the
sire of Dan, about whose stock a great deal has been
written in the highest terms by "Percival" and
"Setter" in the Field and elsewhere, and by Mr. Pur-
cell Llewellyn, who has used him as a stud dog almost
exclusively to cross with his Laverack bitches, after
purchasing him at a very high price, together with
his brother Dick from Mr. Statter at the Shrewsbury
meeting of 1871. The opinions expressed by these
gentlemen must be taken cum grano sails, as they are
manifestly interested in the breed, which they style
as par excellence "the field trial breed" from the suc-
cesses obtained by its component parts at these trials.
I shall therefore confine myself in my remarks on it to
their public performances as observed by myself and
others, disregarding all private opinions in this as in
all other cases, from my experience of the little reliance
to be placed upon them.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

On dit. that Chas. K. Harley has just received a
Boston Terrier, bought from and shipped here by
George K. Thomas.

J. L. Cunningham's Great Dane bitch Juanita is
back from Germantown, Pa., where she was bred to
Montebello Kennels' Montebello Caesar, a harlequin.
The bitch came back to San Francisco in first class
shape and condition, evidently having had the best of
care and looking better for the trip East.

In the last few years the Canadian Kennel Club
seems to have taken on new life, and now they are do-
ing all in their power to encourage the breeding of
good dogs in Canada. They now give handsome cups
for championships won under their rules, one of which
has been received by Mr. Charles Minor, of Victoria,
B. C, for his English Setter, Roy Montez, who, by
the way, is now a champion under both the American
and Canadian Kennel Clubs. To become a C. K. C.
champion, a dog must win first four times in winners
class in shows held under the auspices of the Canadian
Club. Roy Montez has done this in both Canadian
and American shows. In the Canadian Stud Book he
is registered 5765. The cup received from C. K. C. is
a very handsome silver one, standing about fourteen
inches high. On a shield are the words in blue and
gold: "C. K. C. Championship; 5765." Around the
shield is a wreath, and on the top a beaver. In a letter
to Mr. Minor the secretary states that the club has
now decided to give cups and medals to any club hold-
ing field trials in Canada, the only condition being that
the dog competing is registered.

Field and Fancy is to be congratulated upon the
brilliancy of its Coast regular correspondent's efforts
in posting the Eastern fancy on our kennel affairs.
We will take the liberty of correcting the writer's
latest, by seating that "Mr. Ed Attridge" has not
"about the best breeding kennel of Bull Terriers on
the Coast." Patsy, "which Mr. Attridge brought
out at the recent 'Frisco show is" ?io( "about the best
Bull Terrier ever raised on the Coast, and with a little
more condition next year will" not "go to first winners
instead of reserve. " Patsy is totally deaf, which condi-
tion was observed by a number of fanciers at the April
show in this city.

It is probable, that if the judge had shown the same
amount of enthusiasm and application in the examin-
ation of dogs brought before him as he did in persist-
ent endeavor to impress upon breeders and exhibitors
the superior qualities of certain dog medicines, that
he might have observed the disqualifying impedient
to Patsy's career as a bench winner. We donotdesire
to impugn the judge's motives, he probably judged as
well as he knew how to.

What Bull Terrier bitch is "Hawthorn Torpedo?"
We do not find any record in the A. K. C. Gazette of
the Hawthorn Kennels.

The "regular coast correspondent's" notes are re-
markable in one respect, viz. Too much ego in his
cosmos.

This reminds us, the crop of coast correspondents
is on the increase, they all have the virtue of doing
their work gratuitiously. This enables each "regular
coast correspondent" to have the use of more or less
space weekly for a little touting and free advertising.
At home he or she poses as a big fish in a small puddle,
they never overlook the chance to work in on all the
prerogatives usually extended to the press — once in a
while they "pike in" and sell a dog. Comparing the
various effusions each week — or the medley of reports
of a local show; which appear in the different Eastern
journals, each with the other, the result is a confusing
pot pourri of dog talk that must be laughable to East-
ern readers.

The Coast lagoon of ink, however, has been a good
fish pond for some astute Eastern dealers who now
and then angle for and land a fat sucker with a nice
canine gold brick. This bait is generally dangled
before the selected fish on hooks pendant from a line
of letters; such only as the seller of orackerjack dogs
knows how to pen when the unloading of a $75 or $100
dog for $300 or $400, for instance, is being negotiated
with an ambitious fancier who desires a $300 or $400
dog for $75 or $100.

But they are not all that way, we are glad to say,
there are some notable exceptions. We will leave it
to our readers to pick the winners. We will make a
book on it, laying odds on the field.

Total loo Strikel — If they don't give you Jackson's Napa Soda

We notice a number of our current Eastern con-
temporaries have been at much pains to publish a
"condensed statement of expenditures in connection
with the" S. F. K. C. show in April. This inventory
is so condensed that the Bench Show Committee at
last advices could not get it in shape, nor could their
legal adviser. The published statement referred to
is both unctious and affable, it distributes a few
bouquets and states regretfully that the prevailing
conditions prevented the turning over of a neat
sum to charity. A curious coincidence happened
here: it was the publication in the papers, daily
and weekly, of the amount of the charity fund turned
over and was a unique and insidious statement that
by reason of an alleged typographical error showed
the sum of $5,075 realized on the auction sale of post-
ers and turned over for sweet charity. The amount
could not have been more, from that source, than
what was received at the sale, viz: $55; it may have
been only $50.75.

Man's Best Friend swallowed the charity bait and
registered a kick, and a good sensible one it was, too,
on the charity shibboleth.

We may find occasion in the near futuro to go
further into this matter. When we do, we promise
some interesting thiugs, some real objets de art
revealed when the drapery usually known as tb
mantle of charity was thrown aside by the curious.

AT THE TRAPS.

The live bird shoot of the Golden Gate Gun Club is
the attraction for trap shooters at Ingleside to-morrow.

The Union Gun Club propose to challenge any gun
club in the State to a twelve-man-team race, conditions
and details will be araanged shortly to that effect.
This contest should be a very interesting one. as sev-
eral remarkably strong teams can be mustered up.

At a recent shoot of the Watsonville Gun Club the
scores made in a 20 bird race at blue rocks were the
following: T. N. Alford 20, H. White 20, Ed Winkle
18, H. Struven, J. Whalen 17, J. W. Baxter 17, D. F.

Kane 16, Al Cupid 15, J. F. Kane 14, Ed Kelly 13, D.
F. Ring 13, J. W. Herbert 12, T. Albright 12.

The Shell Mound Gun Club of Grass Valley is in a
prosperous condition with a good membership and a
number of applicants on the waiting list. In a recent
20 and 15 bird blue rock shoot the scores were:

First race— Horan 16, Bovey 8, Brock 11, Gray i,
Michell 17, Ellis 10. .. „ ,

Second race— Miller 10, Horan 14, Bovey 10, Brock

A meeting of the Board of Governors has been
called for Monday evening next. The California In-
animate Target Association seems to be in somewhat
of an anomalous condition at present. Since the dis-
bandment of three gun clubs, the Olympic, Lincoln
and San Francisco, there has not been a chance for
the necessary representation at a meeting of the Board
to form a quorum. This state of affairs renders in-
effective all action taken at several past meetings, even
to the standing of the recently organized Golden Gate
Gun Club in the association, it is claimed. This con-
tretemps could have been avoided had there been a
meeting previous to the passing out of existence of
the three clubs mentioned and proper action taken by
a legal quorum in anticipation of coming events.

On Monday evening an effort will be made to master
the dilemma. This will then allow of an arrangement
being made to hold the annual tournament.

The Sacramento trap grounds were slimly attended
last Sunday; a large contingent of the capital city
shooters were away having a shotgun argument with
Dixon shooters. The Record— Union says in respect
thereto:

The Sacramento shotgun experts who went to Dixon
for wool came home sheared. Those who went were
Vetter, McWilliams, Gusto, Stephens, Just, Blair,
Trumpler, De Merritt, Upson, AVeber and Englehart.

Stuart Upson, in speaking of the event said, that
aside from being beaten at the traps, the Sacramento
visitors were well treated. "They are a fine lot of
sportsmen at Dixon, and no mistake, " said Mr. Upson.
"As a general thing, the Dixon boys out-shot us
throughout the day. "

In the team shoot, six men on a side, fifteen targets
each, making ninety targets, the race was won by
Dixon with a score of 76 to 71.

Holling, of Dixon, was best for the winners, break-
ing 24 in the 25 blue rock event. Just made the best
showing on behalf of Sacramento.

The Davisville Club has invited the Sacramento men
to visit Davisville and the trip will soon be made.

A Squelched Wild Cat Hunt.

Just who are the members of the Oakland Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals nobod y knows
excepting themselves. That they are fanaticalcranks,
if the story of the society's injunction of a proposed
wildcat hunt recently is a true one, goes without saying.

Some people are incapable of minding their own
business and consequently deem it a bounden duty to
interfere with and meddle in other people's affairs.

The Rookwood Hunt Club is composed of a number
of sportsmen who during several seasons past, used to
hunt the Berkeley hills for coyotes and wild cats.
They have now changed their hunting country to the
vicinity of Haywards, where the club's kennel of
hounds is located.

The form of persecution and imposition indulged in
by the Society, was prompted by the story that the
club members intended to pit one of the dogs against
a wounded wildcat after the animal had been chased,
treed, and brought to the ground by a bullet. Even
if this charge had been true, the officials had no right

to stop the hunt, their only possible chance to inter-
fere was when the alleged cruelty to a wild animal was
actually practised and in operation.

That hunting wild animals can be possibly construed
as cruelty to animals is most preposterous. In wild
cat hunting with dogs, the cats are raised by the
hounds, and when chased will tree in short order, a
shot from one of the hunting party's rifle is not always
fatal to the cat, when the cat drops to the ground
there is usually a scrimmage; sometimes a cat is cor-
nered before it has a chance to tree, then there is a
lively fight on. A wildcat, unwounded, and in good
condition, can make a very lively fight with the dogs
and will take good care of itself until placed hors de
combat by a shot. In fact the older and more ex-
perienced dogs as a rule will simply keep the animal
at bay until the arrival of the hunter, having a whole-
some respect for the cat's teeth and claws.

So with hunting coyotes, the animals are roused
from their lairs by the dogs, which are trained for the
sport. The hunters being posted at different vantage
points, as soon as the quarry is driven in range, the
rifles are brought into play. Both wildcats and coy-
otes, being nocturnal in their habits, the hunt gener-
ally commences about 8 o'clock in the morning, after
the animals have turned in for a sleep after a night's
marauding. If the hunt is commenced early in the
morning the animals, always on the alert when prowl-
ing, will take effective measures for escape and con-
cealment from impending danger to their useless
carcasses.

The Oakland Society for the Prevention of Asinine
Decadence claimed that the club's sport was cruel and
barbarous, in that the huntsmen mounted on "fence
jumpers" — whatever they may be — armed with rifles
and attended by a pack of hounds give chase to a
wildcat or a coyote, and after wounding the animal,
pit one of the dogs against it for the purpose of witness-
ing a bloody combat.

As a matter of fact, most of these hunts are con-
ducted afoot. The country is pretty uneven and there
is generally a number of barb wire fences that are not
always come against during the chase, in a convenient
position for jumping a horse over, it is a tough job at
times for the hunter himself to get through expedi-
tiously. In some sections of Contra Costa and Ala-
meda counties, and other places as well, where this
sport is in vogue, horses are tabooed, the ranchers
claiming that some unscrupulous hunters have used
wire-cutters to enable them to get through their fences
quickly.

At all events the farmers and ranchers are glad to
have wildcats and coyotes hunted and killed, particu-
larly so when the hunt is conducted in a systematic
manner by sportsmen well equipped for the chase.

Wildcats are carnivorous, they will kill fawns when
opportunity offers, domestic poultry is a tidbit for
them, ground nesting birds, particularly quail, are
hunted, killed, eaten by them. There is nothing in
the career of the wildcat that should counterbalance
almost any method of effectively destroying a preda-
tory wild animal.

Coyotes are numerous also across the bay, in the
foothills, and a pest to the farmers and ranchers, fre-
quenting as they do a comparatively well settled farm-
ing and fruit growing region. That any plea can be
made by any one save an idiot or mischief maker, in
favor of coyotes and wildcats is so preposterous as to
seem almost incredible.

From what we know of the sport of hunting these
wild and useless animals, it has been our experience to
note invariably the custom of stopping a scrimmage
between the dogs and quarry just as soon as a rifle
shot, knife thrust or club could be made effective.

Hounds are far too valuable to take chances on hav-
ing them killed or disabled by the animals hunted and
brought to bay. Fights take place, it is true, there is
no way of preventing them at times. Everybody
knows, who is at all familiar with the sport that a
fight is not the chief feature of the chase nor a con-
tingency devoutly wished. As above noted, experi-
enced dogs will nearly always keep away from, and
hold the hunted animal at bay. The young dogs, and
there is generally one or more youngsters in the pack,
taking the initial lessons, are the ones that generally
butt in for a scrimmage, they do not stay at it long,
however, for they are sure of a few cuts and scratches
that are potent in teaching them discretion.

From the tenor of the article published in a daily
paper, we should imagine that the case was one
prompted by spite on the part of someone against the
club members. The names and residences of a number
of the club members were given and a statement pub-
lished, accredited to the club's kennel keeper, that it
was arranged to have a fight between a "bull pup and
a wounded coyote" — two elements necessary for the
talked of fight that, we believe, would be a hard task
to get and bring together.

The one lamentable feature of the whole proceeding
was the backdown of the huntsmen who, it appears,
were intimidated from the start and abandoned their
day's sport at the behest and warning of a jack leg
emissary of the Oakland infested organization for the
salvation of wildcats and coyotes. Another matter
overlooked was the infringement upon the legal and
constitutional rights of the sportsmen, which they
evidently were too chicken-hearted to maintain.

We have noticed, time and again, the tendency on the
part of some eminently respectable business and pro-
fessional individuals, that when the occasion arose
whereby they were in danger of "public notice, that
they would weaken and shrink from the chance of
public gaze, even though they were not in the least
culpable and only needed a little backbone to come
out with flying colors.

The case here commented on is one in point, we
believe, the club members have acquired an unenviable
notoriety and a mention that is distorted, biased and
calculated to be accepted by many people whose only
interest now in the matter will have been acquired
through reading a caluminating story, that could have
been refuted and stopped had the parties interested
stood upon their rights and fought the unwarranted
interference with the courage and spirit of true sports-
men, instead of being awed by the Oakland bug-a-boo
into a weak-kneed subsidence.

THE FARM.

*$■&>

It is recognized by students of dairy
bacteriology that there are species of germs
which will develop and thrive at low tem-
perature and that they are mostly of a
-kind that give the off-flavor to butter.
The long time from the cow to the cream-
ery gives these germs opportunity to get
in their work. This kind of deterioration
is common in the winter months. In the
heat of summer the cream cannot be kept
sufficiently cool in shipping to stop the
development of acid and the result then is
over-ripe cream and sour butter.

Not the least interesting matter in con-
nection with the Angora goat industry is
the variety and beauty of articles manu-
factured from mohair. One is impressed
first with the brilliant lustre of mohair
goods. Some of the finer fabrics rival
silk insbeen and shade, while at the same
time it conveys the idea of a durability
greater than silk. The number of us'es
for mohair seems to be rapidly increasing,
going into the field of the silks in dress
goods, hosiery, underwear, etc.

While the Ayrshire may be used as a
valuable butter cow her best and most
profitable place is in producing milk for
town and city trade and it is here she
finds no rival in giving a quality of mils
up to the standard and for the least outlay
for food consumed. Besides the ability
to produce milk cheaply and of superior
quality, this breed gives a large quantity
and holds out for i. long period with uni-
form flow and uniess care is exercised she
will not go dry at all.

In bulletin No. 4 of the Department of
Agriculture is presented the "Report of
Irrigation Investigations for 11I00'' under
the supervision of Elwood Mead with
thirteen assistants. This volume covers
334 pages of text. It is replete with data
of the most hopeful character to those in-
terested in the great problem of irrigation
in the West. Excellent as has been his
work in other yearp, in this last bulletin
Prof. Meaa makes real advancement on
past accomplishments. Requests for this
work should be addressed to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

June 2, 1S82, the record price of $9 30
was paid for cattle in the Chicago market.
The drove sold at this price contained 15
head that averaged 1523 pounds. The cat-
tle were marketed by Briggs, Benson &
Housh, Maquon, 111. The extremes of
price that day were $5.75 to $9.30, with
bulk at $7 to $8 75. Top price for heavy
swine that day was $8.50 and for good
sheep $5. Receipts of cattle were 6793
head. This is the highest price ever ob-
tained for cattle and 1882 stands as the
year of best figures. On the other hand'

1889 was the year of lowest average, best
going at $0.10 and the average was $3.90.
In June, 1889, choicest native steers offered
made only $4.70 and in the following July
$4.55 was the tup paid. Corn in June,
1882, sold between 6S'.i and 75 cents,
owing to the short crop of 1881.

The report that the British Government
is going into cattle-buying for the purpose
of replenishing the depleted herds in
South Africa was sprung the day that
peace was declared. It is not unlikely
that the British will do something of that
sort, but no such announcement has been
made and the work will not begin at least
till some of the peace arrangements have
been made. The report was sprung for
market effect solely, and followed an hour
after the dispatch announcing peace.

The great city of New York, with its
three millions of people, has one of the
smallest stockyards in the country — not
as large as those of a lively range Bhipping
point. The yards are long and narrow,
and extend far out into the river. The
exact dimensions are 2500 by 320 feet.

Cows will eat alfalfa hay when running
on good pasture. This is an additional
evidence of the cured qualities and prop-
erties of alfalfa that cannot be said of ordi-
nary grass feeds. Well cured alfalfa is as
perfect feed for cows as can be Becured in
any hay or forage crop. A cow generally
chooses what she likes best.

The bull-butter men say they will go
right along making and selling their nasty
stuff, but it will be uncolored. They do
not expect a rushing business for a while

product of dead horses and the like will
soon have the privilege of getting it with
no fear of substitution of fraud. If they

Pigs may be left to subsist exclusively
on green alfalfa, but better results are
obtained by giving a small quantity of
grain with it. Exceedingly large returns
are obtained from the small quantities fed,
as the alfalfa being green and bulky really
needs the grain to balance itB effect. The
bulky pasturage expands the digestive
tract of the pig, thus enabling it to utilize
a large quantity of feed when the finishing
period comes, which is a very important
consideration. Excellent results may also

be obtained by cutting the alfalfa and
feeding it green to the hogs, but pasturing
is of course more satisfactory. Alfalfa
mav be pastured lightly with hogs the
second year after sowing, but it is better
to wait until the third year. Under no
consideration is it safe to the alfalfa to
pasture it the first year.

The Shorthorn boom is up again and
Bhould have reached its apex if the pres-
ent breeders expect to' remain long in
business. At a sale in Iowa the other day
fiftv head of females went at an average
of $938.20 a head.

i JOTTINGS. H

HICK'S VALLEY is one of the pretty spots in Cal-
ifornia in the Coast Range of mountains, about
eight miles from the thriving and busy town of
Petaluma. The town mentioned is in Sonoma county,
but the valley is in the county of Marin and is one of
its choicest gems of the many that form a brilliant
cluster in that political division which lies north from
San Francisco and along the shore of the broad Pacific
Ocean, A pretty little trout stream, San Antonio
creek, is the dividing line between the two counties,
and after crossing it the road from Petaluma begins to
rise until the first summit is reached and then Hick's
Valley lies below in all its beauty of hay and grain
fields, pasture lands, orchards and peaceful homes
dotted here and there on the landscape. Here is the
Brown Ranch, the home of that handsome stallion
Meridian 2:12], owned by Brown & Brandon, two of
nature's noblemen, and most successful stock and
dairymen. There are nearly four thousand acres of
rolling and level land in the Brown Ranch, the larger
portion of which can be cultivated by the plow, and
:s well watered by never failing springs. Marin county
is known as the leading dairy county of the State,
and Hick's Valley is one of its choicest sections. The
hills and dales are covered with wild oats and native
grasses so rich and abundant in the spring that the
cattle cannot keep its growth down, and the warm
suns of June cure it into hay as it stands, and cattle
and horses thrive and fatten upon it during the sum-
mer months.

Messrs. Brown & Brandon are engaged principally
in dairying and are milking about four hundred cows
at the present time. A butter making plant was in-
stalled a year ago. and the squares labelled Hick's
Valley Creamery meet such ready sals that the de-
mand is always ahead of the supply. The cows are of
mixed blood, but the Ayrshire is in favor and there
are several pure blooded bulls and heifers of this Dreed
on the farm, from which the stock will be much
improved within a few years. At present the output
is about a pound of butter to the cow each day, the
drying of the pastures at this season causing a lessen-
ing in the flow of milk. The cows begin coming in
about the 1st of September, and during the rainy
months the creamery is run to its full capacity.

Recognizing the fact three years ago that good road
horses were becoming scarce and that well bred stal-
lions were needed to improve the stock in that section
of Marin county, Messrs. Brown & Brandon pur-
chased the stallion Moridian 2:12} and placed him at
the head of the horse department of their splendid
domain. While none of Meridian's get are of racing
age, the two year olds, yearlings and sucklings by him
are the very best evidence that they chose wisely
when selecting this son of Simmocolon. Meridian was
a good race horse and won many hard fought battles
during his career on the turf. He is now just ten
years old. He has been in active stud duty but three
years but has been largely patronized during that
time. He is a very vigorous and prepotent stallion,
his get bearing a very strong resemblance to him with
almost unvarying uniformity. Last year he was
mated with 64 mares and 57 foals resulted. This year
he had served 61 mares up to the date of my visit to
the farm, and three or four more were booked. Meri-
dian was bred by J. D. Smith, of Livermore, Califor-
nia, and is by Simmocolon 2:133, son of Simmons and
Colon by Strathmore. His dam is Sidane by Sidney,
second dam Addie S. by Steinway, so he has three
crosses close up of the great Strathmore. His record
was made at Chico in 1S97, in a four heat race in which
he won the last three heats in 2:134, 2:12] and 2:14.
Next year a few of his Shree year olds will be worked
and there is no doubt but he will be among the pro-
ducing sires in the Year Book of that season.

My visit to the Brown Ranch was on Saturday last.
Accepting the kind invitation of Capt. N. P. Batchel-
der, of this city, who was going up to look at his mare
Corinne Neilson and a couple of her colts, to accom pany
him, we reached Petaluma about 9:30 A. M., and secur-
ing a rig at a livery stable made the trip to the farm
in about an hour and a half. The road is an excellent-
one, the grade over the hills being gradual and easv
and through a most delightful country rich in crops
of wheat, barley, hay (just cut), dotted* here and there
with orchards and literally sprinkled with white
chickens— for the country aboui Petaluma is the home
of the White Leghorn and egg farms are numerous.
On the road we met Robert Brown driving a spank-
ing team, one a six year old Gossiper gelding that may
b-. out to the races next year. With his mate this
i ->rse was earning his oats by hauling to town several
1 undred pounds of the Hicks Valley Creamery butter
nd seemed to be feeling proud of his job, as well he

might be. After entering a protest against not being
notified of our coming so that he could have remained
at home to entertain us, but saying that Brandon
would show us around, Mr. Brown said he would see
us in town on our return, and we drove on. We found
Mr. Brandon driving one of two mowers that were at
work cutting a crop of splendid oat hay. And herein
lies the secret of the success of these two gentlemen.
Both are practical farmers and stockmen and neither
is afraid of work. They can do anything, from the
geneial superintendence of a big farm to mounting a
mustang and roping a wild steer, and do it right.
Both are gentlemen of education and refinement, good
entertainers and most genial companions. Mr. Brown
is a director of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse
Breeders Association and a very valuable member of
the board. A man of calm and excellent judgment,
he is one of the best men in the judges' stand I ever
saw. The only fault I can find with this firm of Brown
& Brandon is that they are both bachelors. Men like
them should be raising families as well as cattle and
horses.

The horse market is in a peculiar state here in Cali-
fornia at the present time. Any horse that has size
and fair looks, and is sound and broke to harness, will
be bid on lively when put up at auction in this city as
there is a big demand for horses that are fit to put at
lighter heavy work. Brood mares however, are slow
sale, and while there has been more breeding done
this season than for several years past, and the short-
age of horses is recognized by everyone, few seem to
want broodmares at any price. One reason is that
good pasturage is becoming scarcer every year and
tke remark is heard at every sale: "I would bid on
that mare, but I have no place to keep her." At the
sale of Hon. Jesse D. Carr's horses on Thursday of
this week, broodmares with stout handsome colts at
their side by Boodle Jr., went for from B30 to$90each.
Some of these mares were old, it is true, from 14 to 16
years, but they are worth three or four times the
sums paid for them. The very fact that the big pas-
ture ranges are becoming few and far between is
pretty good evidence that horse valuesas well as cattle
and sheep values need not be expected to evergomuch
lower than they now are, no matter what contingency
may arise. Country farmers should attend these city
sales this year, and bid on well bred and likely looking
mares and fillies that are offered. It is a speculation
wherein they can't lose, at present prices.

The best of starters get rattled at times and inci.
dents like the following, which ii clipped from a Balti-
more paper, occur every year:

"Starter Evans got rattled in the fourth heat of the
2:16 pace at Gentlemen's Driving Park to-day. He
gave the word to go and rang the recall bell at the
same time, and all the horses were stopped by their
drivers excepting Evadne, whom Hentzchel drove
around tbe track. Evans read the rules and declared
Evadne the winner and all the others distanced. The
bettors all but mobbed the starter. "

This shows how necessary it is for a driver to know
something about the rules. The driver of the mare
Evadne was the only one in this race that was thor-
oughly alive to the situation in this case and did the
proper thing, as he knew that the rules said there
shall be no recall when once the word is given. It
would be a very good thing for those who intend to
campaign horses on the circuit this year to secure a
copy of the rules and put in a few evenings before rac-
ing begins in perusing its pages. It is a good thing to
know what to do at the proper time. The man who
does, and acts upon his knowledge, will find it very
advantageous.

When William Simpson, of New York, engaged W.
J. Andrews to train his horses, at a salary of $5000 a
year, Mr. Simpson thought he was paying well for
the reputation which Mr. Andrews had previously
achieved. Mr. Simpson changed his mind, however
when Mr. Andrews developed John R. Gentry into a
world beater and showed the owner, in one year, on
this horse alone, a profit of 825,000. Mr. Andrews also
raced Bouncer, a filly which Mr. Simpson bred, with
great success, winning with her the Transylvania race
at Lexington, Ky. Very warm friendship thereafter
existed, and still exists, between Mr. Simpson and Mr.
Andrews, and as John R. Gentry 2:O0J and Bouncer
2:09 were the most successful racers Mr. Simpson ever'
campaigned, out of an ownership of 1000 horses, it was
arranged last spring that Bouncer should be bred to
Gentry. Mr. Simpson wrote Mr. Andrews last week
that the produce was a very handsome, large bay colt,
with an unusual parental speed inheritance, which
averages below 2:05. The proud owner intends to
enter this colt in every possible stake, and the man
who raced the sire and dam so successfully is expected
to be the driver.

On a hot day drink Jackson's Napa Soda lemonade
and be refreshed.

Answers to Correspondents.

S. L. W., Bonanza, Oregon— A bets Bob Wade holds
one-quarter mile record. B bets Jim Miller holds it.
Which wins? How many horses ever ran a quarter of
a mile in 21] seconds?

Answer — Goodwin's Turf Guide, the authority in
these matters, gives Bob Wade as the only horse that
has run a quarter of a mile as fast as 21] seconds.

R. G., City — Did the pacing horse Thomas Ryder
2:131 ever win a race. A claims that hedid but B says
he did not. Please state which is correct.

Answer— A is right. Thomas Ryder won many-
races, and in his career was seldom outside the money.
In 1893 alone he won seven races.

R. E. Alvarado.— 1. Please give me the breeding
of Echo Jr. by Haggin's Echo, owned by Gen. Frisby,
of Redding, Cal. 2. What aid the service fee use to
be for the crack hound For Freedom? 3. I have a
yearling colt who has lumps all over his neck and
shoulders, caused by mosquitoes; he is always rubbing
the hair off. Can you give any advice as to what to
do to give him relief?

Answer.— 1. Echo Jr. by Echo 462, dam Ila by
Priam, son of Whipple's Hambletonian 725; second
dam by Kentucky Hunter. 2. We do not know
whether For Freedom ever stood for public service.
Write to J. H. Rosseter, 900 Grand street, Alameda.
3. It is unlikely that mosquitoes are the cause of the
trouble. If so, anything that will keep them off should
effect a cure. Your colt's blood is probably out of
order. Describe the case carefully and write to our
veterinary department.

First District Fair May Be at Pleasanton.

There is a probability of the Golden Gate Fair Asso-
ciation, representing the first district, holding its fair
and race meeting at Pleasanton this year and if so the
directors will find that the result will be a better fair
and race meeting than has been the rule in recent
years when the fair was held at Oakland.

The idea, if Pleasanton is chosen as the place, will
be to hold an old fashioned country fair with a pavilion
full of exhibits, a big stock and cattle show, and a
race program in which harness racing will be the main
feature. This can be done at Pleasanton with the
assurance that there will be plenty of entries in all
departments. The Nevis pavilion will accommodate
many exhibitors and be a very popular resort during
the evenings. There are many fine cattle and horses
that would be shown, and the celebrated Pleasanton
track will certainly attract the best horses in the
State to race over it if good purses are offered.

The greatest objection to Oakland as a place for
holding the fair is the track, which is feared by har-
ness horsemen, although it is one of the best running
tracks in the country. It is a heavy track, raised in
the centre like a county road and trotters and pacers
find it difficult to show their best speed over it.

Pleasanton is a horse town and the people of that
part of Alameda county all turn out to anything in
the shape of a horse show or races. The district fair
would draw a tremendous crowd without a doubt were
the fair held there.

Vallejo Races on the Fourth.

The Golden Gate Park Driving Association will hold
its Fourth of July races at Vallejo this year and has
already arranged the following program:

2:40 class, puise $150— H W. Miller, Princess Irene;
V. J. Guinasso, Walter Wilkes; M. M. Donnelly, Kitty
D.; J. G. Cuicello, Pedro: Dr. McLaughlin, Bondy C.

2:30 class, purse $150— G. L. Swett, Velma: F. Gom-
met, Verona; H. Shottler, Echora Wilkes; J. G.
Cuicello, Bay Rum; S. Sprague, Clara L.

2:20 class, purse $150— S. G. Cuicello, Gaff Topsail;
M. M. Donnelly, Mack; J. O'Kane, Al Sandy; H. W.
Miller, Lady Falrose; D: Mizner, Sable Le Grande.

Vallejo Road Race, purse $100 — B. Best, Don Pedro;
T. Smith, May Girl; J Weir, Pansy W.; W. Devlin.
Teddy: T. Ryan, Phallas; T. Burke, unknown.

Every arrangement for the accommodation of the
public will be made by the club and a good day's sport
is anticipated. The round trip to Vallejo from this
city costs but one dollar by boat or train.

Valuable Horses Burned.

A dispatch from Portland, Oregon, dated June 25th,
says: "Fire last night destroyed an entire block of
frame buildings bounded by "Seventh, Park. Glisan
and Hoyt streets. Thirty-five horses belonging to
the Wakefield-Morse Transfer Company were burned
to death, among them three valuable pacers, Zombro
C, Ana J. and Maymont. A number of people asleep
in the Park Lodging House escaped with great diffi-
culty. The total loss is about $35,000 and insurance
$20,000.'' The colt Zombro C. was a very fast and
promising son of Zombro 2:11, and won a race at the
Driving Club's matinee the week previous. He pulled
a buggy and a heavy driver a half-mile heat in 1:21,

Oregon to go inside the list this year. He made his
record in the matinee race at Irvington track last
Saturday.

The American Sportsman, published at Cleveland
says: "Sir Albert S. 2:08£, the fast California pacer,
has not been asked to do much during the past three
weeks, as he has not been just himseK

The free-for-all pace will have two active performers
to dispute with Anaconda and Prince Alert this sea-
son. Coney 2:02, who is now in Ed. Lockwood's stable
at Poughkeepsie, and Searchlight, at Charter Oak
Park.

A report comes from Granite State Park, Dover,
that Thomas W. Lawson's M. & M. Stake candidate
Juntorio, one of his recent purchases, is quite sick
and it is possible she may not come to the wire this
season.

It is said that A. H. Miller of Buffalo has made a
third offer for the sensational filly Zephyr. The first
was $1.5,000, the second $17,500, the third and last
$20,000 — all declined with thanks by her owner, J. C.
McKinney.

The highest price of the Carr sale was $270 for a
two year old filly by Nutwood Wilkes, absolutely green
and just out of pasture. The buyer was offered $300
for the fill v three minutes after she was knocked down
to him, but declined the offer.

Millard Sanders worked the pacer B. S. Dillon 2:25,
a mile in 2:12 at the Glenville track on Tuesday of last
week. B.S.Dillon will probably be a starter in the
Chamber of Commerce Stake as an application has
been made for him for a nomination in that $5000
event.

San Jose will be a good place to spend the 4th of
July this year. There will be several good races at
the San Jose track and a line can be had on some of
the green trotters and pacers that will race through
the California Circuit.

There are many parties looking for carriage and
road teams at the present time, and quite a number
that have teams for sale. There is quite a difference,
however, in the opinions of buyers and sellers as to
values, and few sales are being made.

Earl King, an unbroken two year old colt by Stam-
boul 2:07.! from Gypsy Earl 2;19£ by Earl 2:25, was sold
for $1000 a few days ago at E. H. Harrimanrs Arden
Farms, in Orange county. The buyer was a Wall
street banker, who will, it is said, send the young trot-
ter to Europe.

Mr. William Hendrickson, the well known veteran
horseman, has purchased from Henry Scblosser, the
stallion Clay S. 2:13^. This horse has been in the stud
at Petaluma for the past two years and the yearlings
and sucklings by him are very much admired. Clay
S. did quite a heavy business in the st^d this year.

At the farm of J. C. Linneman, Lima, Ohio, is one
of the highest bred fillies in the world. She is by
Norval, dam by Wilkes Boy; second dam by Baron
iVilkes, third dam by Nutwood, fourth dam by Strath-
more, fifth dam by Woodford's Mambrino and sixth
by Abdallah 15.

Dora Doe 2:12A is going like a winner this year. One
day last week "Mose Hart worked her a slow mile but
let her step fast in the last half which was in 1:04.
The four eighths of this half were as follows: 1$, 16i,
14^ and 17, thus making the first quarter in 32A and
the last in 314. She drew a 55-pound Toomey cart in
this workout.

C. W. Anthony, of Galesburg, 111., is the owner of a
uniquely bred filly just foaled. The sire is Lindau by
Allerton 2:09 j, dam Hindee by Allerton; second dam
Elloree2:08A by Axtell 2:12. The dam of the filly is
Madeline Allertell by Allertell 2:18}, son of Allerton,
and Etholeen by Axtell. The youngster is inbred to
Allerton three times and to Axtell twice.

Dr. J. Hammond, of Byron. Cal, who owns the mare
Blue Bells by San Diego, has a yearling colt from her by
Altamont 2:26} that is a beauty; a suckling one week
old by Welcome 2:10J that 13 one of the best looking
youngsters foaled in Contra Costa county this year,
and thinks he will now send the mare to Nutwood
Wilkes 2:164. With a good mare that is a regular
breeder one can soon have a lot of well bred ones and
Doctor Hammond is on the right track.

At the opening matinee of the Hartford Driving
Club held June 20th, one hundred and twenty-five rigs
were in line and in all but two instances the horses
were hitched to pneumatic tired vehicles. Secretary
Gocher's old whirlwind Guy 2:09$ was driven to the
old high wheeled sulky that the horse Thomas Jeffer-
son 2:23 drew in his races thirty-five years ago. For
the pleasure of the large crowd present the pacer,
Searchlight 2:03}, was worked a few heats between the
races, finishing one in 2:09}, the last half in 1:04, and
seemed to be going easy.

Charles Thompson, of the Stanford Stock Farm,
was severely injured last Wednesday afternoon at the
Palo Alto station. He was unloading a carload of
horses, when the train whistle suddenly blew, frighten-
the animals. In his attempt to stop a stampede he
was kicked and knocked down. His right arm was
shattered at the elbow and bis chest injured. He was
carried unconscious to the office of Dr. Moss, where he
revived in half an hour and was able to sit up and
speak. Although now 70 years of age he will probably
recover. He has been one of the head men on the
farm for many years.

Sir Albert S. 2:08£ will make the first start of his
Eastern campaign at Buffalo on Monday, August 4th,
the first day of the Buffalo meeting. He is entered
there in the 2:08 pace, a $2000 stake. The other entries
in this race are Capt. Brino, Fred S. Wedgewood,
Direct Hal, Don Riley, Twinkle. Kanawha Star, The
Private, Capt. Sphinx, The Admiral, Dan R., Martha
Marshall, New Richmond, Council Chimes, Star Hal,
Pauline G., The Bishop, Chestnut, Amokin. Sphinx
S., Vice Regal and Terrace Queen. Millard Sanders
writes that Sir Albert S. is in good shape and expects
to make a good showing with him.

Manv good trotting bred stallions continue to be
exported. The stallion B. B. P. 2:09^, by Pilot Medium,
has been bought for export to Germany and is now on
his way across the Atlantic. The son of Pilot Medium
took his first record as a three year old when he was
one of the sensations of the year. At Chicago that
season he beat such crack trotters as Expressive,
Onoqua, Baron Dillon and Billy Parks, and at Terre
Haute he won over a field of ten, including Bouncer,
Cut Glass, Queen Allah, Baron Dillon, Silurian and
Norvin G. His three year old record was 2:13.!, which
he reduced as a four year old to 2:09j£. After his four
year old campaign he seemed to go back ia form and
although he was trained he never became prominent
again. At one time he was converted to the pace, but
at that gait he was not a success. He is a well-bred
horse, still young, and in Germany should be popular
in the stud.

The pacers that are entered in the same races where
Ed Geer's green horse, Direct Hal, is named, had bet-
ter look " a leedle oud.'* Report comes from Cleve-
land that the son of Direct worked a mile in 2:08A, last
half in 1:03! on Thursday morning of last week. This
is the fastest mile made this year at theGlenviile
track and shows that the overdue horse is a good one.
Geers has kept Direct Hal back for two years, but
"everything comes to him who waits.''

In the centre of a field at Waverhlll, Suffolk, Eng-
land, is a large flat stone covering the grave of a mare
which died in 1852, inscribed as follows: "Polka. She
never made a false step. Eeclesiastes, 3, I'.Hh verse."
A reference to chapter and verse shows the following:
"For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth
beasts, even one thing befalleth them; as the one dielh
the other." This is probably the only instance of a
text from the Scriptures appearing on a memorial
stone to an animal.

A race follower cautions the public to look out for
Mabel Onward. He says he saw her make Dan Patch
do his level best at the finish of a workout mile on the
Empire City track. She has been withdrawn from
the Billings matinee stable in order to start in the
Grand Circuit. She won her two starts last fall at
Memphis, the first in 2:12 and 2:1 1!, and the next in
2:12'3, 2:104, both to wagon. She was got by Shade-
land Onward 2:18£, and is a sister of Phoebe Onward
2:12}, their dam being Sentinel Belle by Grand Senti-
nel. Shadeland Onward is one of the very best sons
of Onward. His dam, Nettie Time, produced the great
race horse Temple Bar 2:17^.

Gold Standard 2:164 by Marshmurdock, a fast pacer
in tbestableof Frank Loomis, felldead at the Colorado
Springs racetrack during the meeting. Standard had
been started in the 2:25 pace, taking the first heat in
2:1 To- In the second heat be finished second and in
the third heat dropped back to third. He was dis-
tanced in the fourth heat, developing symptoms of
keen distress. Hurried to his stable, he expired be-
fore anything could be done to relieve his pain. The
trouble was gastritis. Gold Standard took a mark of
2:16$ at the Pueblo meeting oi last week, where he had
won handily. In all his racing heissaid to have never
finished behind the money and to have usually won.
He belonged to J. Parrott, of Chicago.

It is rumored that Judge William H. Moore, of
Chicago, will go into the show ring next fa1! with a
stable of harness horses rivalling the best in the coun-
try. He owns a park four-in-hand team that cost
$27,900 and a road four of Russian Orloffs for which
be paid $11,800. The Russians are all grays, mottled
likeleopards, and they make one of the most attractive
fours imaginable, It is said they can trot a 2:40 clip
before a coach. Judge Moore's park four is made up
of the noted trotters Doctor Pitzer 2:12S and Billy
Finch in the wheel, with Drummer Boy and Bugler in
the lead. The wheelers represent an investment of
more than $15,000, Judge Moore having paid $9000 for
Pitzer at private sale and $6900 for Billy Finch at
auction.

The owner of Lord Derby 2:06$ is said to have de-
livered himself as follows recently: "I have confidence
in Lord Derby and he will defeat Boralma in the race
at Hartford, August 2d. I am also quite ronfident
that the New York Driving Club will win the Boston
Challenge Cup in Cleveland the first week in Septem-
ber. The New York Driving Club will enter Lord
Derby, Chain Shot and The Monk. C. K. G. Billings
will also have an entry. I will drive Lord Derby in
the cup race. I have just had completed for the race
the lightest wagon ever built. Complete it weighs
only 41 pounds. The builder wouldn't even paint it,
as that would add to its weight. We hope to take the
cup to New York this season, although Boston has a
very good show, as I understand that Boralma will
start in the cup race."

Mr. Lawson, has been compelled, much against his
will, to close the gates of Dreamwold against the
public. People were flocking there in such numbers
as to seriously interfere with the work of the em-
ployees. No less than 172 people went down to the
farm by train one morning last week. Persons having
business at tbe farm, or breeders, will be admitted on
applying at the office at the main station gate. This
is what Mr. Lawson has to say regarding the step that
he has been forced to take: "I deeply regret being
compelled to take this action, as I would like to have
every one to see Dreamwold, its stock and its methods,
but I have no choice, as the unprecedented numbers
of those who wish to see the farm make it impossible
for any number of employes to take care of those
things that are absolutely necessary in the running of
tbe farm, and at the same time do justice to visitors.
I believe if I do not at once shut down I will be com
pelled actually to abandon the project." — American
Horse Breeder.

The brown stallion Kinney Lou by McKinney 2:11',.
in the stable of Budd Doble, is considered by good
judges to be about the slickest green trotter in train-
ing at the Indianapolis track. Doble has been going
very slow with him since his arrival here, and the
" stop watch" crowd hasn't had a chance to see him
trot any fast miles yet, but Mr. Doble has stepppd him
through, the stretch two or three times at a 2:04 gait.
and as he trotted a mile in 2:1'» this spring before be
left California, it is possible that he has the material
for another champion. On breeding alone i his son of
McKinney should be one of the gamest of the fast
ones, as his dam is old Mary Lou J:17, tbe chestnut
mare by Tom Benton that tbe late John Mi-Cord of
Sacramento used to rampaign alonu with that all-day
trotter and own brother, Shylrek 2:16L There was
another fast and game brother, the pacer Ned Win-
low 2:12A. They were all out of Brown Jem
David Hill Jr. 17139, the next dam Old Browi
by Black Hawk 768,— Western Hbmemcm.

[June 26, 1902

At the State Fair Track.

Sacramento, Cal., June 18, 1902.

Breeder and Sportsman: A few words as to how
the horses of the capital city are doing. In the first
place, speaking of the track, Mr. Martin, the lessee, is
doing all he can to please his patrons and they speak
of him in very complimentary terms. The track is
not as fast as some of the tracks of the State hut at
the present time is in very good condition and the
parties working over it are satisfied.

In looking over the different stables we will start
with the string of that very reliable trainer, Mr. S. C.
Tryon. In his string is the Electioneer stallion, Az-
moor, he has served forty-seven mares this year to
date and is good for three or four more, he is looking
good and strong and we look for some of his colts to
be among the fastest in the State. Then comes Polka
Dot by Mendocino, dam Maud Merrill by Antevolo.
She is looking strong and doing well. The best work
Mr. Tryon has done with her is a mile in 2:22, a quarter
in 323. Without a doubt this young, promising mare
will prove herself very fast.

A young mare by Sable WilkeB, the property of
Supervisor T. C. Snyder of Yolo, has as yet had no
work to speak of. She has worked a mile in 2:36, a
quarter in 35 seconds, she has a very pleasant way of
going, and is as square a trotter as ever stepped on
iron. Her dam is by Harold, and her breeding and
performance mark her as a promising mare.

Next is one of the most promising fillies iD Califor-
nia, two years old, by Stickles (alias Jumbo) by Silver
Bow. The dam of this promising young mare is by
Col. K. R. She can show a 2:30 clip and can do it as
handily as any one could wish.

Then comes a pacing mare, by a son of Falrose 2:19,
the property of Mr. Jasper of Wheatland. She
stepped a mile yesterday in 2:223, the half in 1:08, and
has a good way of going. Mr. Tryon looks to see her
go a good mile by Fall.

A bay gelding owned by Lester R. Nichols of Val-
lejo has proved a surprise and has developed phe-
nomenal speed. He stands 16} hands high, is six years
old, by Tom Benton, dam Superba by James MadisoD.
He worked a third heat last Wednesday very handily
in 2:17, the track that day not being particularly fast.
He went the first quarter in 363 seconds, finishing the
mile in 2:17, the last half in 1:06. He goes without
boots of any kind and any person can drive him.

The trotting mare, Swift Bird by Waldstein, dam
by Poscora Hayward, in this string, has not had much
work but can show very fast. Mr. Tryon looks for
this mare to get a mark of 2:17 or 2:18 by Fall.

Then comes a bay gelding, six years old, by Knight,
dam by Alaska, second dam the dam of Flying Jib.
He is the property of Wm. Lambert and was purchasd
at the last Rancho Del Paso sale and has only Deen at
the track about ten days. In his work yesterday he
showed a great deal of speed and is very promising.

A bay gelding by Bay Bird is the property of Gen.

A. W. Barrett of Los Angeles, and was purchased at
the last Rancho Del Paso sale. He has not worked
much as yet, but has a nice way of going.

Mr. Tryon also has another bay gelding, the prop-
erty of Gen. Barrett. This colt was sired by Algona,
dam by Alaska, second dam the dam of Flying Jib,
making him in blood lines a brother to Flying Jib.
He is a pacer, moves very easily and can show a 2:40
gait to a cart.

The next is a brown mare by Dexter Prince, the
property of Geo. Shoyler, of Colusa. She has recently
worked a mile in 2:293 and is expected to get a mark
of 2:20 or better this fall.

Mr. Bigelow, of Woodland, has a string of four at
the Sacramento track, which he brought over about
ten days ago. They are as follows:

A two year old filly by Alex. Button, dam by Del
Rey. She is a pacer and the property of O. A. Lowe,
of Woodland. She is a very promising young fillv,
but will not start in the races this year.

A three year old by Dictatus, the property of Jas.
Marshall, of Dixon. She is a pacer, dam by Waldstein.
She stepped a half in 1:10 recently, with about four
weeks' work, and did it in such a way as pleased Mr.
Bigelow very much.

El Primero by Diablo, a four year old out of Lucy

B. 2:17J by Alex. Button, has been worked but a short
time, but has shown a good burst of speed.

Gertie A., a four year old filly by Diablo, dam by
Sidney, has a nice way of going; paced a mile last Sat-
urday in 2:19, last half in 1:08.

Mr. Sam Hoy's string is composed of eight head.
Mr. Hoy heads the list this spring with the old cam-
paigner Kelly Briggs, who worked a mile here the

0 her day in 2:151, the last half in 1:053 without an
effort, and looks as if he is a stronger and better horse

1 nan ever.

Margaretta, recently sold by Mr. J. E. Terry, has a
mark of 2:123. While 2:17* is the fastest m.ie she

has been at Sacramento, with a half in 1:063, she is
looking well and doing her work handily.

Rita H., a green pacing mare by McKinney, dam
Brilliantine, has done but little work, but has shown
considerable speed.

The stallion Demonio, a full brother to Diablo 2:09},
is also in Mr. Hoy's string. He is the property of Mi-
Ben Rush, of Suisun. In conformation he looks a
better horse than he ever was. Mr. Hoy expects to
give him a good mark before the season is over.

A black colt by Ora Wilkes out of a dam by Bel-
mont, although a green horse without a record, has
shown good work and is very promising.

A three year old filly by Demonio out of a mare by
Nutwood Wilkes is also in Mr. Hoy's string and he
thinks one of the best prospects he ever handled.

A four year old green pacing horse by Falrose, dam
by Stirling, worked a mile to-day without an effort in
2:243, going the last half in 1:063.

Mr. Hoy also has a green mare which he is training
for the district road races of Yolo county.

Walter Mastin brought his string of six over from
Woodland about ten days ago. Any one of them can
go a mile better than 2:20. The animals of this good
string are as follows:

The best of the lot at present is John A. 2:123 by
Wayland W., dam Lady Moor by the Grand Moor,
which makes him very strong in breeding and one
which can be looked to for speed until the race is over.
He is dark seal brown in color, stands 161 hands in
height and weighs about 1200 pounds. For breeding,
as well as speed, he should be considered as one of the
great stock horses of the State. John A. made a
record two years ago at Woodland in the third heat
of 2:12}. This horse to-day is in the pink of condition
and going strong and straight. He paced a mile, before
leaving Woodland, in 2:121. Mr. Mastin let him step
the last half last Saturday at this track, which was a
trifle slow that day, and for all that, he did the half in
1:04, the last quarter in 30 seconds flat. You can look
for this horse to be one of the coming horses of the
Stale, barring accidents.

The next best thing in this string is Penrose by Fal-
rose, dam by Brigadier. He is now five years old. He
got a mark last year at the State Fair of 2:213 in the
fourth beat. He won the race there very handily.
Mr. Mastin looks for this horse to go a mile in 2:10 or
better before the season is over.

Third in the string is Mayme H. by Falrose, being a
full sister to Penrose and a four-year old. In her work
at Woodland she stepped a quarter in 31 seconds, the
last eighth in 143. Mr. Mastin thinks she is the best
prospect in his string. She is a fine large mare, bright
bay in color, and is moving strong and straight.

Fourth is Tuberose by Falrose, dam Mischief 2:22 by
Brown Jug. This one is a square trotter, and worked
a mile at Woodland about two weeks ago in 2:22, last
half in 1:09, the last quarter in 33 seconds, finishing
strong. He has every prospect of being a great horse
before the year is over.

Fifth is Dixon Maid, a beautiful, big mare by Fal-
rose, a square trotter, perfectly green, and in only
seven weeks' work stepped a mile in 2:19} at the
Woodland track about ten days ago. This mare's
first dam is Tempest, her second dam was a draft
mare (a full-bred Clyde). Mr. Mastin says she is one
of the gamest mares he ever handled, and looks for
her to trot a very fast mile before the races are over.

The breeding of this string of horses speaks volumes
for Mr. Mastin's fine stallion Falrose.

Sixth is a green pacer sired by Alex. Button, the
property of A. B. Rodman of Wheatland, and with
very little work moved a mile in 2:21 at the Woodland
track about eight days ago. He is a good looker and
a very fine prospect.

Hi Hogoboom has five in his string at present.
Among this lot is one of the best three-year old pacing
colts in the State, the property of Bart Cavanaugh.
This fellow has not been named as yet, but his breed-
ing is as good as any one could ask for. He is by
Gossiper, dam by Almont Patchen. Stands about
15.3 and weighs about 1000 pounds. In conformation
is about perfect and one of the handsomest colts in the
State, bright bay in color. This fellow has stepped a
half mile recently in 1:07}. Hi worked him the other
day the home quarter in 31} seconds. He is not being
prepared for races this year, but just working him
along good and easy; but next year, Mr. Hogoboom
says, they will have to attend to their knitting when
they beat this fellow out. Mr. Cavanaugh refused
$1200 for this colt recently.

The next is a seven-year-old horse belonging to
James Faris Jr. He is by George Dexter, dam by
Monroe Chief. This is a trotter and has worked a
mile in 2:25, and as good a looker as one wants to see.

He has three pacers in his string, two by Diawood
and one by Lynmont. All of these youngsters are
showing well, and Mr. Hogoboom speaks of tbem as a
very promising lot of young horses that will be hard
to beat next year. N. D. W.

McKinney's New Owner.

The Jfestern Horseman, published at Indianapolis,
Indiana, in its issue of June 20th, published a long
article on the purchase of McKinney 2:11} by HeDrj
B. Gentry, from which we abstract the following:
"On Monday of this week there was consummated
trotting stallion and harness speed sire deal the im-
portance of which to the trotting horse interest of the
great central West has not been approached since the
sensational purchase of the great Axtell (3) 2:12.
nearly a dozen years ago. Several months ago Mr.
Henry B. Gentry of Bloomington, Ind., famous the
country over as the head of the firm of Gentry Bro<=..
owners of the Gentry Bros.' great chain of trained
animal shows, the delight of the women and children
of the land, who owns a couple of very fine stock farms
at Bloomington, made up his mind to go into the trot
ing horse breeding business, and at the same time
determined to possess himself of as good a trotting
stallion and speed sire as could be found in the land.
Dr. P. O'Rear suggested McKinney as the sire coming
up to Mr. Gentry's high requirements, in which
opinion the editor of The Western Horseman, when
confided in on the subject, fully agreed. It was sug-
gested to Mr. Gentry that 'McKinney would cost a lot
of money, he being in a class by himself as a sire,' to
which Mr. Gentry made reply: 'I am yet a young man
and in easy circumstances financially, but I am both
too old and too poor to invest in other than the best,
and if McKinney is the best sire in sight, he is the
stallion I want." Not until Budd Doble located here,
a few weeks ago, fresh from California, and intimately
acquainted with both McKinney and his owner, Mr.
Charles A. Durfee of San Jose, Cal., was a way found
for opening negotiations for McKinney on the plan
that promised his purchase at his actual value, and it
was through Mr. Doble that the deal was closed on
Monday. After the deal was closed we asked Mr.
Gentry what we should say about the purchase price,
and, with his characteristic frankness, he replied:
'Tell the truth, of course. In this instance my business
is the public's business.' The price paid was just
$25,000, no more, no less, and Mr. Durfee is to have the
use of the stallion till August 1st, when he will be
brought to his new home, the Gentry Stock Farm.

Hambletonian Blood at Arrowhead.

In an article by an Eastern writer which appeared
in the Breeder and Sportsman of two weeks since,
reference was made to the fact that Boralma 2:07, Mr.
Lawson's great trotter, has seven crosses of the blood
of Hambletonian 10, and while this doubling of the
blood of the Hero of Chester is not only popular with
horse breeders but is producing great results, there
are comparatively few horses that trace to him
through as many different lines as does Boralma.

Down at Mr. M. S. Severance's Arrowhead Stock
Farm in Los Angeles county, there are several fillies
and colts that are so rich in the blood of Hambletonian
10, that their breeding is remarkable, two of the fillies
having no less than nine crosses to William Rysdyk's
great horse.

One is a filly by Derby Heir, son of Chas. Derby 2:20
and Bet Madison 2:153. The filly's dam is the famous
mare La Belle (2) 2:16 that is by Sidney 2:19}, out of
Anna Belle 2:27 by Dawn 2:18}, son of Nutwood 2:1^J.
The other is also a filly and is by Direct Heir, son of
Direct 2:053 and Bet Madison. The dam of this filly is
Rose Drop, a mare by Sidney out of Oak Grove Belle
by Arthurton.

There is another filly at Arrowhead that has seven
crosses of Hambletonian and a colt that has six crosses.
The filly is by Direct Heir out of Irene Benefit by
Benefit, and the colt is by Derby Heir out of Bonnie
Director, a mare by Director out of Regina 2:18 by
Electioneer.

If this colt by Derby Heir, having six crosses of
Hambletonian 10 blood is mated with the filly out ot
Rose Drop when they reach a suitable age, the result-
ant foal will have fifteen crosses of the blood of the
famous horse that is really the founder of that great
family of horses, the American trotter.

Fresno Driving. Club.

There is life in the newly organized driving club at
Fresno, and on Saturday, July 12th, the first matinee
will be held. It is proposed to hold regular matinees
thereafter on the second Saturday of each month.
The club has seventy members already, all of whom
are regular road drivers and enthusiastic over the out-
look for some first class sport in the friendly contests
that are to make up the matinee programs.

Secretary Hudson has already sent out the entry
blanks to -members and expects a large entry list.
The speed committee will classify the horses according
to their speed as near as possible and not according to
records.

The Stockton Program.

There is no more progressive organization than the
Stockton Driving Club, and it has done much to attract
the attention of visitors to the Gas City. It is com-
posed of enterprising and energetic young men who
recognize the fact that nothing can be accomplished
without work, and they pull their coats every year
and enter upon the project of holding a fair as though
it were a business proposition.

The splendid program for this year's meeting has
been prepared. It will consist of ten events for har-
ness horses, equally divided between trotters and
pacers.

For the trotters there are five rich stakes, the lead-
ing one of which is $1000 for trotters of the 2:24 class,
and has been called the Chamber of Commerce stake.
The other trotting events are $500 each, for the 2:40,
2::i0, 2:19 and 2:14 class horses.

For the pacers the Gas City stake is $1000 for 2:20
class horses, and the others are $500 each for the green
class, the 2:25, 2:15 and 2:12 classes.

Never has the Stockton track been in better con-
dition than at the present time. It is safe and fast,
and will be kept in first-class order during the sum-
mer. The meeting will be held during the week
immediately after the State Fair at Sacramento.
Entries will close August 1st.

A Great Field of 2:10 Trotters.

Dash Racing Would Mean Early Racing.

[The Horseman ]

If dash races were in vogue on the trotting turf, the
season, which is barely opening, and which will not
commence in good earnest until the opening of the
Grand Circuit at Detroit on July 14, would now be at
its height. Trainers are naturally loathe to enter
their horses in harness races at this time of the year
for fear of getting into a long drawn out race which
might result in putting their horses out of condition
for the rest of the season. A series of early meetings
could be given on the dash system for trotters and
pacers, commencing early in May, and the horses
would experience no bad results from such early rac-
ing. No real lover of the American trotting horse
will believe that this animal possesses less endurance
or stamina than the thoroughbred. The latter have
no advantage of climate in preparation for their early
wo>-k, although it is undeniable that a runner can be
galloped in the mud, but in training this excuse would
not hold good, for neither the trotter nor runner
would be put on edge in this kind of going. No one
contends that the early races do any great damage to
the thoroughbred, and the trainers of light harness
horses would have a chance to secure much early
money if the races were conducted on the dash system,
or even on the two in three.

It would be a distinct advantage to the trotter to
commence his racing season early in the year. As it
is now, it leaves about three months for the best horses
to race for the money. Reports have been quite fre-
quent this year of fast trials, and if the system of rac-
ing would allow it, these fast trials could as well be
made in public races, where there would be a money
reward for the show of speed. As it is now, these fa^t
trials are merely for the satisfaction of the owner and
trainer, when they would well be turned to public
account. It is an undeniable fact that the public is
more anxious for the early racing than is ordinarily
the case later in the season. It is the man on the mar-
ket first with his goods that gets the money, and the
same would hold true in harness racing. A number of
years ago the racing season in the Northern States
commenced as early as the middle or latter part of
May, but the system of long drawn out races resulted
in so many cripples that it was found advisable to de
lay the starting of the horse until later in the season.
It was the old three in five system that worked to the
disadvantage of the horse, and if the races would be
conducted on a more liberal basis, with fewer heats
and quicker action, there would be no reason why the
trotting season should not commence in good earnest
by the first of June all over the country.

The McDowell Stake of $6000, offered by the Ken-
tucky Trotting Horse Breeders Association, has re-
ceived thirty-two entries, probably the greatest num-
ber of trotters ever named in a class that fast. The
names and records of the horses are as follows:

Walter Keim 2:11}, Antezella 2:101, Fereno 2:10},
Ozenam2:ll}, Sister Alice 2:101, Lady Thisbe 2:11',,
Anzella 2:101, Col. Cochran 2:10}, Wauban 2:11},
George Anna 2:091, Lady Geraldine 2:11}, Early
Reaper 2:093, Dolly Bidwell 2:09.1, Mabel Glen 2:11,
Hawthorne 2:13, Metallas 2:11, Susie J. 2:10}, Miss
Sligo2:10J, Idolita 2:12, Neva Simmons 2:111, Leola
2:11}, Improvidence 2:12, Glory 2:11$, Poindexter 2:111,
John A. McKerron 2:10.

This stake was first given in 1896, and was won that
year by Baron Rogers, the best heat being in 2:131.
The following year Pilot Boy was the winner, 2:10 be-
ing the fastest mile in the race. In 1898, The Abbot
captured first money and the record for the race
dropped to 2:08 in the second heat. In 1899 Myron
McHenry drove Bonatella to three winning heats after
Peter the Great and Tommy Britton had each taken
a heat. In 1900 York Boy won, with the California
mare Neeretta in second place, and the fastest heat of
the race was 2:10}. Last year Millard Sanders took
first money in the race with Dolly Dillon 2:07, winning
in three straight heats, the time being 2:101, 2:10} and
2:10}. The California mare beat Onward Silver,
Toggles, Lita W. and Miss Sligo on this occasion.

That 32 entries can be secured to a 2:10 class trot is
remarkable, and shows what an advancement has been
made in extreme speed during the past year. Last
season there were but fourteen entries to this race.

Professional Jealousy.

Professional jealousy among trainers of harness
horses is one of the most contemptible faults among
horsemen that can possibly be named. The trainers
who are always running down their contemporary's
charges, or who even haven't a good word to say for
them, are altogether too numerous. When one con-
siders the situation the conditions only make the posi-
tion of the trainer so offending most ludicrous. A
case in point: Only last year a trainer who was calling
a certain horse in a fellow reinsman's stable "a duffer
of the first water," the very next day had to play sec-
ond fiddle to the same horse and trainer in a race. The
lesson is obvious. The good horses are not all in one
stable, and the good trainers are numerous enough to
prevent any one man from arrogating to himself the
distinction of claiming (by inference) to be "the only
great I Am." Moreover, it invariably follows, from
my observation at least, that the bombastic, all-
important trainer is the one who invariably lives off
the owner rather than from the purses which he wins,
a detriment to the sport, handicapping the laudable
efforts of enthusiastic owners, and an all-around nui-
sance that should be treated with the contempt his
conduct merits. — Palmer Clark:

Coney and Giles Noyes Change Owners.

Messrs. Valentine and Eddie Lockwood, who pur-
chased Coney 2:02 some two weeks ago from H. T.
Dykeman of White Plains, N. Y., sold the black
whirlwind on Thursday last to A. C. Fiske of New
York. While the price was not given out it is known
that Mr. Fiske paid Valentine and Lockwood quite a
neat profit. Coney was shipped back to the Empire
track from Poughkeepsie on Friday and joined the
stable of Bob Davis, who trains Mr. Fiske's horses.
Mr. Fiske sold during the week to W. J. Clark of New
York the pacing gelding Giles Noyes 2:05} for speed-
way purposes.

A Few Points to the Amateur Exhibitor in the
Show Ring.

Thy acrel batonyi ]
The first advice I would give to anyone is, don't get
smitten on your horse, because if you do and you get
left, you will feel it badly. You must like your horse
and appreciate him, but don't fall in love with him too
much. It is as bad to get too much affection for your
horse, as to get too much attached to a woman — a
little does very nicely; too much makes it annoying
for both.

If you care too much for your horse you will spoil
and ruin him. You must have a limit how far to go.
If you care too much for him, you will not see his faults
and mistakes, and so will not be able to correct them.
If you care too much for him, you will not stand de-
feat. Keep a cool eye and a hal' cool heart, otherwise
you will never succeed in the ring. After the show is
over pet and caress your horse as much as you like.
It will do him good, but don't do it too much before
entering the ring. I don't mean to say be rough with
a horse, as I, for myself, hate to see one punished.
The quieter you are to a horse the better he will be-
have. The rougher you are the more unpleasant he
will be.

After once you have selected the horse you intend
showing, say, for instance, in a harness class, purchase
a suitable vehicle and harness, and if possible have it
made to order to suit the horse — to fit him comfort-
ably. A ready made pair of shoes might fit you, but
undoubtedly they will not fit as well as though they
had been carefully made to order. Purchase your
vehicles and harness after buying your horse. Then
you know what you are at. Do not buy them before
purchasing your horse. One bit of advice I would
give is, to have everything in symmetry — horse, trap
and harness, and if you need any livery have that also
in keeping with the turnout.

Don't bit your horses too sharp, and don't shoe
them too heavy, unless they absolutely need it. Shoe-
ng and bitting are the two most important and essen-
tial factors in the show ring. When you purchase a
horse, get his feet and his mouth in shape first of all;
then see that his neck will be in shape. Look at your
horse's teeth and see whether they are in good con-
dition.

Do not overwork your horses before showing them,
and then again don't keep them too fresh 60 as to show
ill manners, but always go after a happy medium.
You will find it will be more satisfactory.

Do not abuse your horses before entering the show
ring, as music, spectators, etc., will naturally excite
them. Many an abused horse becomes an excited and
nervous roarer in the show ring, though absolutely
sound as to wind.

Do not rush your horses too much, and then again
do not let them fall asleep. Don't crowd other ex-
hibitors in the show ring, and vice versa. Assist, as a
good sportsman, other exhibitors. If another horse
is more speedy than yours, there is no harm done in
letting him pass you, or doing the opposite if pace
should count in the class.

In one word, keep your eyes open, your hands and
heart cool, and you will be satisfied with yourself when
leaving the ring, whether with or without a ribbon. —
Eider ami Driver.

Origin of the Term "Jimtown."

Almost every horseman knows what is meant when
a hors j makes a ' Jimtown" break, but few have any
idea of the origin of the expression. 'Way back in
the early '60's Mr. Dan D. Moore, of Xenia, Ohio, had
a sorrel pacing horse called Coon that used to be
irained at the Jimtown track, a short distance from
Xenia. This horse had a habit, either natural or the
result of a trick taught him by his driver, of making
a jump into the air when being passed by another
horse, and a single shifting of the bit or at most a see-
saw, would land him on a square pace. The distance
he would gain by the single jump was such that Bal-
lard would not care to state, for fear it would discredit
the story. At all events, the Coon's habit of breaking
got to be styled "Jimtowns," after the track where
he was trained, and gradually the term was applied to
other horses exhibiting the same peculiarity. There
may be other versions of how the term came to be
applied, but this one has the benefit of age and
plausibility.

Do you want to know just how fast your horse can
go either in his preparatory work, or on the road, or
in his race? If you want a timer, stop and split second,
either a timer simple or a tiaier and watch combined
and one that is guaranteed to be perfectly accurate
call on A. Hirschman, 10 Post street. (Masonic Temple)
this city. He has the greatest variety and sells them
with an assurance of their accuracy. We know Mr.
Hirschman to be in every way safe and reliable and
cheerfully commend bis c/oods to our readers.

and drivers of horses that cannot he depended upon
to go out and show their best in the first heat trotted
in a race, look with disfavor uoon the scheme. They
argue to tnemselves that one chance is not enough
where one pays five per cent of the purse for the priv-
ilege of starting, and if they are to be counted out
entirely on account of a break or some other trifling
accident the ancient and honorable three in five system
is certainly better for them. There is not one particle
of doubt that the average owner and trainer would
much rather start for a $1000 purse with three chances
to win it than to enter in a $333 purse where the final
result depended entirely upon the first heat. Associa-
tions that give harness meetings cannot possibly sur-
vive and at the same time give the same purses for
dash races that are now offered for those under the
old three in five rule. The famous M. & M., a ten
thousand dollar race for 2:23 class trotters is ono of the
leading features of the Grand Circuit. Does any one
believe for one moment that it would draw one-half
the entries were it made a dash race? Certainly not.
The $500 which is paid for the entrance fee of starters
would be considered too great a risk were the race a
dash. It is absurd to think that the dash system
would be popular in any of the great stakes now so
numerous throughout the East. When harness horse
owners are willing to race their horses for purses of
two or three hundred dollars the dash system may
become popular, but so long as generous purses and
stakes are the rule at harness meetings, on which the
starters are compelled to pay an entrance fee of five
eent, just so long will the three-in-five system retain
its vogue and popularity.

CALIFORNIA HORSES will be pretty well repre-
sented on the Eastern trotting tracks this season,
but very few California owners will race strings on the
Grand or other circuits across the mountains. Santa
Rosa Stock Farm has a string of good ones in the
hands of that excellent trainer, Millard Sanders, who
also has the three year old colt Bavard, by Directum,
owned by Judge W. E. Greene of Oakland. Orrin
Hickok has Clipper 2:06 and Thornway belonging to
Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick of San Francisco. These two
strings comprise the entire California contingent that
will race down the big line beginning at Detroit, July
ilth aud winding up at Lexington in October. Among
those who made entries, but found at the last moment
that their horses were on account of sickness or acci-
dent not up to Grand Circuit form, are C. E. Clark of
Fresno. W. G. Durfee of Los Angeles and Juan Gal-
leagos of Mission San Jose. Mr. C. L. Griffith, owing
to the death of his brother, sent his entire string of
horses in training to the Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland
where they were disposed of with their engagements
and if campaigned they will be raced in the names of
their new owners. While Califcrnians will not be
very numerous therefore io the lists of those owning
starters in the big Eastern events this year, horses
bred in this State will figure quite conspicuously, and
its reputation as a producer of fast harness horses wilj
be kept up. There is hardly an event scheduled for
any of the Grand Circuit meetings but has one or
more California bred horses entered therein, many of
Ihem coming from that famous nursery of champions,
Palo Alto Stock Farm. It may not be a California
year over East this season, but there are horses there
that will keep the State's name before the public in a
prominent and commendable manner.

LOS ANGELES ENTRIES will close next Tuesday,
July 1st. There are thirteen classes all told.
The free-for-all horses are given $1000 to race for in
both the trotting and pacing classes. There are nine
purses of $700 each and two of $000 each, making the
Los Angeles program worth entering in by owners of
the best horses in training. There is no better place
to race than Los Angeles, and as its meeting winds up
the circuit it will be the last opportunity offered to
race in California this year. Fill out your entry
blanks and mail them so that they will bear a post-
mark not later than July Is*.

DASH RACING is again being advocated by many
editors and turf writers through the columns of
th^ journals devoted to harness horse affairs. While
this mode of racing is a most excellent one in theory
ii, fails to do all that is claimed for it when put into
■ tual practice. In the first place trainers, owners

THE JUDGES' STAND has been a sunject for more
discussion than any other part of the racing
game, but it will not be out of place at the present
time to say a word or two more. The harness racing
season will open soon and it is very important that
nothing be done on any association track in California
this year that will tend to injure in any way this grand
sport. The judges can preyent crooked work being
done as well as punishing those who do it after it is
done. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure on all occasions and this is as applicable to the
racing game as to any other. By placing men in the
judges' stand who know the rules "and knowing dare
maintain," much good can be accomplished, but asso-
ciations should go beyond this. There should he at
least one judge appointed whose principal duty shall
be to keep his eye out for jobs and crooked work
of every kind and to nip them in the bud. The
important personage who sits in the stand and
looks wise, may be as honest as the sun, but unless he
has the "job" shown him he never sees it. We
are not believers in the total depravity of the
human lamily and are firmly convinced that at most
meetings a majority of the races are on the square
and honestly trotted or paced. But one crooked heat
will cause enough talk to make the public think the
whole meetiDg is dishonest and if a man is in the stand
that can prevent these things much good will be
accomplished and much evil prevented. It will be the
duty of every board of directors that gives a race
meeting this year to make a supreme effort to get the
very best men in the stand they can possibly procure,
and having done so to lay down the law good and
strong that racing must be strictly to rule.

THE THIRD PAYMENT in the Pacific Breeders
Futurity Stake, $6000 for foals of mares bred in
1901 will be due and payable July 1st. This payment
is $5 and failure to make it declares the entry out.
Those who own foals of this year that are not entered
in the stake and wTho desire to secure nominations,
should apply for the same by Monday next. There
are a few mares that failed to foal, and other instances
where the foals have died. These nominations can bo
transferred under the conditions of the stake to other
colts without regard to ownership. Those having
entries should not fail to make this third payment.

AMERICAN HORSE SHOW BLUE BOOK is the
title of a volume recently issued by that excellent
Chicago journal, Coach and Saddle. This book gives
the records of all the horse shows held in the United
States during the year 1901. The book contains over
400 pages and is well illustrated with portraits of the
winners on the tanbark and their owners and handlers
and drivers. A series of articles touching equipments
and so forth that should be used in the various classes
in the show ring should prove of much value to ex-
hibitors and managers alike and the coaching rules
and regulations most generally enforced at horse
shows are also included.

SALINAS CITY, one of the most thriving places in
California, will be the place where the Monterey
Agricultural Society will hold its meeting this year.
This is the association of which that veDerable and
honored pioneer, Hon. Jesse D. Carr, is President, and
John J. Kelly the Secretary. Eight purses for har-
ness horses, ranging from $300 to $500 each, are adver-
tised to close July 1st, which falls on Tuesday next.
See that your entries are mailed in time if you want to
race there.

THE SALE of Hon. Jesse D. Carr's horses came off
too late in the week to get a full report of it in
this week's issue. The broodmares sold at rather low
prices, averaging about $75 each. The colts and fillies
that were two, three and four years old sold better,
several bringing over $100 each. The young stallion
Boodle Jr. was shown to the crowd before the sale,
and was very much admired. The young colts by
him were extra good lookers.

VENTURA'S PURSES are very generous this year.
The free for all pacers are given $1000, and the
free for all trotters the same. The meeting opens
August 6th and there are eleven harness races on the
program with purses ranging from $500 to $1000.
Entries to these races close next Tuesday, July 1st,
and you don't want to miss Ventura if you have a
horse readv to race. See the advertisement.

WOODLAND'S FAIR AND RACE MEETING
will be one of the big events of the California
Circuit this year, and horsemen must remember that
entries to the harness races close Tuesday next, July
1st. For many years Woodland has had the reputa-
tion of giving the best race meeting of any of the dis-
trict fairs, owing to the fact that it occurs on the week
immediately preceding the State Fair, and it seems
that all the horsemen want to start there if possible.
Its track is always fast, and as records made at Wood-
land do not bar the horses making them from any
races at Sacramento, there is always a great scramble
for first money in the events over the Yolo county
track. On Tuesday next, ten classes, five of which are
for trotters and five for pacers, will close with Secre-
tary C. F. Thomas at Woodland and every event
should fill. The purses are most liberal, ranging from
$600 to $750 for the aged classes. Owners are requested
to enter their horses in two classes as the program
will be so arranged that they can start in both events
by placing the races in which they are entered far
enough apart to permit of it. In all these purses
horses are to be named with entry. Remember the
date, July 1st, and remember also that Woodland's
fair will be one of the big features of this vear's circuit.

SANTA BARBARA will hold a race meeting this
year. The 19th agricultural district will bold its
annual fair at this point and has provided a good rac
ing program, with purses of $250 for harness events.
The fair begins August 12th and the entries close
Tuesday next, July 1st. If you want to race at Santa
Barbara, mail your entries to H. B. Brastow in time
to have them postmarked July 1st.

OWNERS OF RUNNERS will take note that the
Buffalo Racing Association advertises in this
issue a list of big stakes to close July 1st for the great
meeting of 1902 and also for stakes to be run in 1903.
The conditions of these stakes are set forth in the
advertisement. Jos. Swigert is the Secretary and his
address is 817 Mutual Life Building. Buffalo.

COLUSA'S MEETING will open August 11th. A
program of twenty races is advertised in this
journal to come off at this meeting, the entries to the
harness events clos'ng July loth.

A postal just received from Geo. T. Beckers at Port-
land, Oregon, states Zombro has been bred to twenty-
six mares there up to the 25th of June. Mr. Beckers
also writes that in the fire which occurred at Portland
on the 21th inst., Mr. T. C. Condon lost all his horses.
Zombro C a colt by Zombro who had worked a mile
that day in 2:29 was among the horses burned as was
also Anna J. 2:16.\ in foal to Zombro and a suckling
by that horse at her side. Another that was burned
to death was Maymont by McKinney out of McMinn-
ville Maid. This will be a severe loss to Mr. Condon
and he will have the sympathy of all horsemen.

That Successor to Cresceus.

" I see by the papers that George Ketcham thinks
the trotting stallion Pegasus that he will race the
coming season, is destined to he the successor to Cres-
ceus. And the Toledo man ought to know what he is
talking about for he has brought out one world beater
and it will surprise no one if he gets another." Thus
said the Amateur as he laid down the morning paper
in which he had read the dispatch that occasioned his
remark.

"Very likely," said the Old Campaigner, "very
likely. But not altogether probable. Maybe Ketcham
never said it. But if he did he may not be able to
prove that he is a real dyed-in-the-wool prophet. This
horse business is not as much of a cinch as some folks
believe it to be and when it comes to. picking out the
successors to the kings and queens of the turf even the
smart fellows who know how to breed them by rule,
and never do it except on paper, generally find them-
selves several miles in the air without any parachute.
When Goldsmith Maid was the boss of the pike there
were no less than several hundred of successors picked
out for her and among the whole heap the name of
Rarus was never mentioned. Yet the gelding of nearly
unknown, and almost no-account, breeding came along
and got the glory that had been picked out for, and
cut to fit, a whole host of the purple-bred kind. It is
not unlikely that the advent of Rarus as a real cham-
pion jolted loose more theories and beliefs than any
other one thing that ever happened since the first
sulky was built. St. Julien was only a nihbler at the
bait for a long time, but he was bred to trot, so they
all said, and I guess Hickok got the same notion in his
head and that is why, using all his arts aDd patience,
he at last succeeded in making him trot. Maud S.
sort of shook the boys up when she came out and
gobbled the crown, but they dug into her breeding
and concluded they ought to have picked her the day
she was foaled. I always fancied the chestnut mare's
pedigree, it was so satisfying to all concerned. There
was the double cross to old Abdallah and the one
strain of Pilot Jr., to tickle the trotting purists, and
the cross to Boston that gratified the thoroughbred
fellows, so that nobody had any real kick coming.

"After Maud S. came Jay Eye See who reigned for
a day and after him, with Maud wearing the crown
again for several years, we had Sunol. And all that
time the wise men were picking out the coming cham-
pion. Part of the time Ben Kenney was chasing her
through a plowed field in Kentucky to make her for-
get how to pace, but no one selected her to get the
lauwels. The fellows who ought to have known and
who really thought they did know, were finding more
kings and queens than there are in ten decks and
never a one of them lighted on the correct article nor
came within miles of it. After Nancy Hanks had done
wonders they still ignored her because her sire was
Happy Medium, whose reputation as a sire of soft
ones was as wide as the nation. Allerton had a bite
out of the cherry, but the know-it-alls couldn't see
any medals on him nor any place to pin even one, be-
. cause his dam was an old mare the Stouts let go at
work horse price. Then, after Nancy had rubbed it
in on the prophets until thev all shouted 'enough,' in
|)ranced Alix and made everybody like her game.
Directum came and went as a colt.

"Then for a '.hampion trotter we had The Abbot.
Of course he was the selection of a big majority, over
the left. You know all about the high opinion, in
your mind, everybody had of Chimes and his get.
But The Abbot got the coveted title. Then, if we are
to believe the fellows who can always tell you what is
going to happen after it has occurred, they all turned
to the family of Robert McGregor, and announced
that it would produce the next champion. What they
might have done if they had known how near George
Ketcham came to putting him to death because he was
so little and mean looking and sickly they would have
added a long list to the sudden deaths that are caused
by heart failure. But they didn't know. They were
too busy studying pedigrees and writing essays about
the best bred trotter in the world to see the new star
rising in the vicinity of Toledo, O., whence had never
before come a champion trotter or anything that
looked like one.

"After Cresceus got to be the whole banquet it was
so easy for the whole capoodle of them to tell you why
he was the best ever. And they are guessing at it
just as hard to-day as ever before. If they hit it they
will have the first and only notch on their sticks.
They are of the same stamp, as guessers, as were the
fellows who refused to back Peter Stirling for last
year's Futurity because they had been told that his
mammy produced two bad ones. It does beat all how
much weight a little over-the-back-fence gossip will
have in the horse business and especially in horse rac-
ing. It is no secret that a lot of people expected to
make money last year betting against AuduboD Boy
because of the general impression that his sire was no

great shucks. But the chestnut colt got the money.
You can take a horse over into the corner of his stall
and tell him there is a blot on his 'scutcheon, but that
won't have any effect on him. If he can deliver the
goods he will do it even if he upsets all the theories
and notions that ever were hatched.

"And when anyone tells you that he has picked out
the next king of trotters you tell him, politely, but
firmly, that when he is ready to show you just to name
the day and you will be there with your clock. But
let me tell you about the successor to Cresceus. He
will come along one of these days, probably, and go a
faster mile than was ever before timed. And he will
be a great horse, if the one mile i6 all he can trot.
Yet it is my hope that when we have a new champion
he, she or it, as the case may be, will be all that is to
be desired. In order to please everybody I would
want sire and dam to be natural trotters, with records
of 2:10 or better and with pedigrees standard for fi e
generations, after that pure thoroughbred. That
would giveall the breeding theorists a chance to prove
that they are correct and would afford a lot of fellows
who are now crying in the wilderness an opportunity
to say I told you so. But it is even betting that the
next champion trotter will have ancestors back of the
third remove that couldn't get their names on a coud-
try stud hoss bill if they were so unfortunate as to be
alive in these days of the advanced standard." — Ken'

straight heats. Time— 2:15], 2:14. 2:20], Porto Rico
and Nancy King also started.

Vallejo's Program.

There were one or two errors in the advertisement
of additional purses offered by the Vallejo association
as it appeared in this paper last week and also in the
entry blanks sent out. The correct list of purses to
be closed Monday next, June 30th, is as follows:

2:40 Trot $500 I Green Class Pace .... SS500

2:15Trot 500 | 2:15 Pace 500

In the 2:40 trot and green class pace horses are to be
named with entry. The 2:15 trot and 2:15 pace are
nomination purses, for which entries must be made
June 30th, but horses are not named and eligible until
August 1st.

In the advertisement last week a free for all pace
was advertised, which was an error, as it should have
read a Green Class pace. Vallejo will have the open-
ing and one of the best meetings on the circuit and
every horseman in California who has a horse eligible
to any of these four additional purses should have an
entry there.

Scoring in Harness Races.

Incessant scoring of trotting horses in an effort to
get an equable start is a thing of the past except with
neophytes in tho starter's position, says the Detroit
Free Press. It depends almost entirely upon tho
starter whether the scoring shall be prolonged.

The driver in a race will soon "catch on" to the
kind of a man occuyping the starter's box. One
driver can occasion great trouble and annoyance if he
so desires, and this will frequently bo the case if there
is leniency and incompetency shown on the part of the
starter. Some leniency may be shown a driver with a
refractory and bad-a'cting horse, but the experienced
starter will know just when there has been enough
delay, and will act accordingly. An experienced
starter will know also when a driver is employing
tactics to delay a start, and will make short work with
him. Nearly all the drivers, and horse9 as well, at the
present day are professionals and know exactly what
is expected of them when they take their places on
the quarter stretch. It is not often that a driver
wishes to delay a start, specially when the clip ii fast.
Now and then a driver from the pines may find it
difficult to adapt himself to the exciting conditions of
scoring with a big field of horses, but the starter, if
he knows his business, will soon straighten him out
and familiarize him with the work.

The position of starting judge is a very important
as well as a very onerous one, and it is not every one
that is capable of doing it. It is not enough that a
starter should be a good horseman and have an accu-
rate knowledge of the rules. He should be a judge of
men, and have the faculty of seeing quick, thinking
quick and acting quick. A conscientious starter will
have no friends in a race whose faults he will condone
when it becomes necessary to apply the rules. It has
been said that a man "cannot start horses and keep
his friends." This is not true as a rule. We believe
that a majority of owners and drivers have more re-
spect for the man that shows no favor; one whom
they kDow to be honest. An unjust or partial starter
will soon make himself obnoxious to the public and
the performers, and his services will not long be in
demand. The public will not tolerate an ignorant or
partial starter. To sum up, then, a starter should be
a judge of men as well as of horses, he should be firm
yet courteous in his demeanor and conscientious
enough not to be influenced by the ties of friendship.

Dan Patch and Harold H. Matched.

Dan Patch 2:041, the unbeaten son of the great Joe
Patchen, and the Canadian sidewheeler, Harold H.
2:04 by Roadmaster, are to meet at Windsor, Ont., in
a match race. Myron McHenry, who is looking after
the fortunes of the Patchen horse, made the announce-
ment. The race will be pulled off during the meeting
that is held annually at Windsor, the week before the
Grand Circuit opening at Detroit. Arrangements for
the race were completed in New York just before Mc-
Henry started west with his stable. Harold H., who
is to try to beat the black fellow, something that he
could not do last year, is being prepared for the cam-
paign at his owner's homein a little Ontario town.

temper. Whether or no the average working "form"
of the breed is a high one, is very difficult to decide;
but undoubtedly Countess and her sister Nellie wer«
grand specimens of the high-bred Setter. Nearly all
the pure Laverack dogs which have been shown are

Stonehenge vs. Some Field Trial Setters.

[Continued from last week J
The most remarkable feature in the Laverack breed
of Setters is the extraordinary extent to which in-
breeding has been carried, as shown by the pedigree
of Countess given by Mr. Laverack in his book on the
Setter. By examining this carefully, it will be seen
that every animal in it is descended from Ponto and
Old Moll, which were obtained by Mr. Laverack in
1825 from the Rev. A. Harrison, who lived near Car-
lisle, and who had Kept the breed pure for thirty-five
years. Four names only besides these two are found
in the right hand column and these four are all de-
scended from Pon*.o and Old Moll, as will be seen at a
glance by referring to the names in italics in the mid-
dle of the table. Thus it appears that they alone
formed Mr. Laveraek's breed, though he often stated
that he had tried the introduction of alien blood, but
finding it not to answer he had abandoned the prod uce
and resorted again to the original stock. This has led
to the belief that the pedigree is incorrect, but he was
very positive in his statement. If correct, it certainly
is the most remarkable case of breeding in and in I
ever met with.

The supporters of the opinion that Mr. Laverack's
pedigrees are incorrect adduce two arguments against
him: first, that he had shortly before his death given
different pedigrees of his dogs, and, secondly, that the
average duration of life in each generation, from Dash
and Belle to Countess, Nellie and Sam, was fully nine
years, which is certainly very remarkable, though
within the bounds of possibility. The first of these
arguments does not go for much, as we all know that
after a man has passed his seventieth year his memorv
is not often to be relied on; and as to the second*,
though per $e highly improbable, it is, as I have above
remarked, by no means impossible. But the discus-
sion of this point is of little practical interest, the
"Laverack" breed having been sufficiently tested in
practice to stand on its own merits without regard to
any theoretical opinions. No one disputes that it is
inbred to an extent which few would care to imitate:
and if it could be proved that a cross had been occa-
sionally introduced, instead of being considered to
have lost in value, I should estimate it more hio-hlv.
The discussion, therefore, is purely one of curiosity,
a"d need not influence any breeder in his selection of
a breeding stud.

To this inbreeding is, no doubt, to be attributed the

f ict that the Laverack Setters are very difficult to

ear, and that a large proportion of them die of dis-

too Spaniel-like in shape to please my eye, the only
exceptions I remember being Prince and Rock, and to
some extent the well-known Sam, brother to Countess
and Nellie; nevertheless, they have not the Spaniel
carriage of the flag alluded to above, which is in them
generally trailed like that of the fox, and without any
lashing or feathering. Probably it is owing to the
excessive inbreeding of the Laveracks injuring their
health that they have not succeeded as well as might
be expected as sires; but, at all events, from whatever
cause, a good deal of disappointment has been felt by
breeders on that score. Nevertheless, for work the
breed still maintains the high character gained for it
in its purity by Countess, Nellie and Garth's Daisy,
and for its crosses by Ranger, Dick, Dash II.. Field's
Daisy, Prince, Ginx's Baby, Glen, Rhoda. Druid,
Noma and Nora, and last, but not least, that excellent
little bitch, Mr. Lloyd Price's Queen, by Blue Prince,
out of the Rev. S. East's Quaver II., bred by that
gentleman from his own old Shropshire blood.

A great many different strains of English Setters
might be adduced from all parts of the country, but
notably from the north of England, with claims
superior to those of Mr. Laverack's strain, up to the
time of the instituiton of field trials. Among these
were theCorbet and Graham breeds, those of the Earl
of Tankerville, Lord VCaterpark, Mr. Bishop, Mr.
Bayley, Mr. Lort, Mr. Jones of Ascot, Major Cowan,
Mr. "vTithington. Mr. Paul Hackett and Mr. Calver,
the last two being a good deal crossed with Gordon
blood. None of these strains were, however, so gen-
erally known beyond the immediate circle of their
owners' friends as to have gained a universal reputa-
tion: and it was not till the public appearance of Mr.
Garth's Daisy, and afterward that of Mr. Purcell
Llewellyn's Countess and Nellie, that the Laverack
strain attained its present high reputation. Before
Daisy came out Mr. Garth had produced a brace of
very bad ones at Stafford in 1867; and it was with con-
siderable prejudice against them that the above cele-
brated bitches first exhibited their powers, in spite of
the high character given them by Mr. Lort, Mr.
Withington and other well-known sportsmen who had
shot over them for years. It is Mr. Lort's opinion
that Mr. Withington possessed better dogs than even
Countess, but it must not be forgotten that private
trials are generally more flattering than those before
the public.

I come now to consider the value of Mr. Llewellyn's
"field trial" strain, as they are sometimes grandilo-
quently termed by their "promoters," or. as I shall
term them, the Dan-Laveracks, being all either by
Dan out of Laverack bitches, or by a Laverack dog
out of a sister to Dan. As a proof of the superiority
of this cross to the pure Laveracks "Setter" states
that "during the last two ypars ten of this breed1*
(Laverack) "and ten of the Duke-Rhoebe and Lav-
erack cross have been sent to America, the former
including1 Petrel, winner of the champion prize at
Birmingham, Pride of the Border, Fairy and Victress:
the latter including Rock, Leicester, Rob Roy, Dart
and Dora, the same men being owners of both sorts.

At the American shows both sorts have appeared,
and the Rhoebe blood has always beaten the Laverack.
At field trials no Laverack has been entered, but first,
second and third prizes were gained at their last field
trials, in the champion stakes, by dogs of the Rhoebe
blood, all descended from Mr. Llewellyn's kenneL" I
confess that, in my opinion, this does not indicate any
superiority in the one over the other, as far as regards
field trials, since they were not tested together; and,
in reference to the superiority of the Dan-Laveracks
on the show bench, it is of little interest to my present
inquiry, but I unhesitatingly state that so far as my
judgment and opportunities for forming it go, "Setter"
is quite correct. Dan himself was a very fine upstand-
ing and handsome dog, and his stock might therefore
be expected to resemble him, while the Laverack dog?
are nearly all heavy and lumbering, and the bitches,
though very elegant, too small and delicate for per-
fection. But, as I have before remarked, the Lav-
eracks have not shown very delicate noses in public,
and indeed I have always considered them rather
deficient than otherwise in this quality, which is the
worst part of the Setter as compared with the
Pointer, and should be regarded, therefore, as the
first essential in estimating any of its strains. Now,
though I have always regarded Duke himself as on
the whole a good dog, especially in pace and range,
and have estimated Dan and Duke, the result of his
cross with Mr. Statter's Rhoebe, favorably as com-
pared with the Laverack litters as shown in Bruce and
Rob Roy, yet I never considered Dan as a good cross
for the Laverack bitches, because his sire always
showed a want of nose similar to that of the Laveracks
themselves. Duke is said by "Setter," and I believe
correctly, to have received a high character from Mr.
Barclay Field for his nose as exhibited in private, but
he was notoriously deficient in this quality when
brought before the public, going with his head low
and feeling the foot rather than the body scent. In
proof of this defect it is only necessary to say that he
was beaten by Hamlet and Young Kent in this quality
at Bala in 1367, when the judge gave him only thirty-
one out of a possible forty for ••nose": while at Stafford
in the following spring Rex found birds twenty yards
behind the place where he had left his point, and
thereby gained the cup — Sir V. Corbet, the breeder of
Duke, being one of the judges, and loud in admiration
of Rex's nose, and the same time finding fault with
that of Duke. Indeed, this defect was ? lways made
the excuse for E. Armstrong's constant interference
with him by hand and voice — whether rightly or
wrongly I do not pretend to say, but it evidently
marked that clever breaker's want of confidence in
his dog's nose. Of Rhoebe herself I do not recollect
enough to give an opinion as to this quality in her in-
dividuality; and among her produce I do not remem-
ber any but Bruce and Dan that displayed even an
average amount of scenting powers. Rob Roy was
notoriously deficient in nose, and Dick, brother to Dan,
in his second season was constantly making- false
points, and is so described in the report of the South-
ampton trials of 1872.

For these reasons, although I have always considered
the Duke-Rhoebe cross superior to the two Laverack -
Rhoebe Utters, I neverexpected Dan to get such a good
bitch as Noma in point of nose and correct carriage
of head and flag, according to my ideas. If Nora, as
alleged by her owner and "Setter,*' as well as by the
Field reporter at Horseheath, is superior to her, I can
only make my apology to Dan, and admit that he has
turned out a better sire than I expected, and than
might have been gathered from the performances of
Laura, Leda and Druid at the Devon and Cornwall,
and Sleaford trials of 1874, which I saw. These two
bitches were slow and without any style whatever,
while the dog. though moderately fast, was well beaten
by Ranger at Sleaford at all points In 1875 it is true
he turned the tables on Mr. Macdona's dog, who was
out of all form at that meeting, but he could only get
second to Viscount Downe's Sam, who was conse-
quently at once added to Mr. Llewellyn's kennel.
Taking into consideration that the dogs which have
been exhibited by Mr. Llewellyn are picked from a
vers large kennel, and that as far as I have seen them
perform they have not proved themselves to be above
the average, lean only come to the conclusion that
Dan has not done any great good in improving the
Laveracks except in Bize and looks. Neither do I
place him or any of his stock in the first rank of field
trial winners, only Countess, Ranger and Dash II.
forming with the Pointers Drake and Belle a quintet
in class Al, as remarked above. Dan came out in
public only once, it is true, though winning three
stakes at that meeting, but he met the same competi-
tors in all and the victory was virtually a single one.
After this he put his shoulder out and never appeared
in public, but bis brother Dick, who was coupled with
him in the braces and went equally with him in the
short trial accorded them, did nothing worth speaking
of next year, except to win the brace prize at South-
ampton'"by a succession of false points, in which he
was splendidly backed'* by his companion, Ruby: and
to divide the Stoneham Stakes with his only competi-
tor Robin, "neither being able to find birds " though
Dick "made many points, all of which turned out to
be at nothing," according to the report in the Field,
which is no doubt worthy of all credit from the well
known ability of the writer. Moreover, Dan at
Shrewsbury had a very narrow escape of defeat by
Rake, as recorded by myself at --the time, so that on
mature reflection I have no hesitation in placing him
below the first class; but possibly he is entitled to rank
in the second along with Plunket and his son and
daughter. Kite and Music (Irish), together with Kate,
Rex and Lang (Gordons). To them may probably be
added the Dan-Laveracks Noma and Nora, and also
Die. the last two winners respectively at Shrewsbury
and Horseheath of the puppy stakes, all more or less
crossed with the late Mr. Laverack's strain. To sum
up, therefore, it may be safely alleged that his Setters
have been of great service to sportsmen in giving pace
and style when crossed with other breeds.

When to Strike a Trout in Fly-Fishing.

The old, old question of how and when ,lto strike"
a trout has never been answered satisfactorily to the
fraternity of anglers. The method followed by a noted
angler and writer whose experiences and adviceon the
subject are interesting and whose wisdom we found
filed away uncredited in ourscrapbook — was to "allow
an instant of time to elapse between the sight of the
rush or swirl of the trout and the act of striking.
The duration of this moment of time is as impossible
to define as it is to tell the fly-casting tyro how long
he is to wait for his back-cast to straighten out before
he spiings it to the front.

"We have since been convinced that the method of
striking should be varied on different waters, in some
of which, where food is not abundant, the trout are
quicker in action, seizing the lure with a rush, than
iu others, where sluggish currents exist and food is
plentiful. We remember un outing- that illustrates
ihese conditions. We were camping- on the bank of a
northern river, where a long, deep pool, with no
apparent current, existed, and alder bushes nearly
arched the major portion of the stream. From this
overgrowth, insect food was constantly dropping into
the pool, the trout fed to repletion, and had acquired
the nabit of lazily rising to the fly, seiziDg it slowly,
and then, leisurely turning tail, would apparently
steer for a bottom lair to eat and digest. In this pool
we hooked every fish that rose to our flies, and it did
not require mucn time to account for our success.
For some years previous, owing to the failure of our
eyesight, we had become what is known as a "slow
striker, ' and the sluggish action of these fish in taking
and disposing of the lure exactly suited our tardy
method of striking. We boated more trout from this
pool than was done by two other anglers of the party
who were experienced fly-fishers. Just below the
large pool the stream became tumultuous, with short
rapids and small pools alternating, and here the veri-
est tyro of the party caught two trout to our one.
The fish were eager, coming- at the fly with a dash and
gone in an instant, and our dimmed eyesight and con-
sequent slow method of striking accounted for the
failure to hook them."

This question of how and when to strike will never
fail to interest the angler, and we hope some of our
readers will yield their quota of information and ex-
perience, through which we may obtain a concensus
of opinion on the subject. In this connection we
append the views of an angler, also taken from a slip
in our scrap-book. We do not know its origin, but the
writer is evidently an intelligent English angler:

"There cannot beany hard-and-fast rule for 'strik-
ing-' trout. Presume you are fishing fly with fine
tackle; a trout rises in a moderately still pool some
fifteen yards away; you cast at the fish a foot or two
above Uim; up he comes to your fly; you don't 'strike.1
Tne result is you barely feel your fisb, and he is not
hooked, but is frightened. Another fish rises in a
similar place; your procedure is the same, excepting,
immediately you see the fish rise, or perhaps take
down your partly floating line without breaking- the
■water, you give a sharp, not hard, stroke. Then you
are fasi in the trout, and the odds are you land him.
'■Striking is a slue qua non for successful trout-
fishing in a pool of still or moderately running- water,
and always make your stroke wnen you see the fish
rise; never wait until you feel him. You very often
see trout take your fly before you actually see the
'murl' from his rise, and consequently before you feel
him jerk or pull your line. Light travels quicker
than feeling, much more so when the gentle touch of
a trout to a fly is to travel from the extreme end of
your line down to the rod-butt at your hand. Far
more trout are lost by not having- the hook driven
home more quickly than there are by being too quick
on to them. Indeed, under ordinary circumstances,
it is almost impossible to be too quick upon your fish.
"As to fishing in streams, very often the weight of
the water, acting on the line, makes a sufficient strain
to insure the hook driving into the fish. When you
find tht fish has hooked himself, if you have not struck
him, do not do so then, as you might shake the hook
free. I was once watching a man flogging a stream.
He hooked a fair trout, or rather a trout hooked itself.
The fish rolled over several times, when suddenly the
fisherman gave his rod a tremendous jerk. In answer
to my inquiry, he said he had previously forgotten to
■strike' his fish, and evidently thinking it a case of
'better late than never,* did so several seconds after
the fish was hooked. Luckily in this instance the
trout stuck on. Even in a stream it is always advis-
able to 'strike' a fish if you see him rise at you — and
advise as above: Don't wait until you feel him. One
day I was fishing a rough stream, in a bright sun. I
saw a trout put up his noseat my fly; though I did not
feel a pull, he felt one, for I 'struck,' and was fast in a
nice trout. A similar fish did ditto the next minute,
and underwent a l.ke operation, and both graced my
basket.

■•To sum up, in ninety cases out of a hundred the
trout must be 'struck,' and as your sense of sight
must be quicker than that of your feeling in all cases,
'strike when you see the fish rise to your fly.' These
remarks, of course, refer only to fishing with artificial
trout flies of an ordinary size. In fishing with natural
(lies, give your fish lime to turn before 'striking' him.
Trout do not so easily feel the deception when it is
covered with a natural insect. In cases where the
floating May fly (grpen drake) is used for quickness in
'striking.' it is nutao requisite as when you are fishing
-unken flies.

can only say I am in favor of 'striking' the
;;m*Wnent f sje the trout rise. My reasons are that if
the fish does not hook himself in the act of taking the
fly, he discovers his mistake instantly, and expels it at
once: whereas if you manage to 'strike' the moment
he takes and closes his mouth on it, %\ou are almost
certain to hook him before he has time to spit it out.
Many trout are hooked but slightly in tbU wa'- and

perhaps escape; but I am of opinion that many fish
are caught by 'striking' at the rise that would other-
wise escape.

"In fishing either stream or pool regularly over,
cast the flv across, or slanting considerably upward,
and let it float down the current of its own accord, till
it comes gradually full round, managing your rod so
as all the while to keep the line and flies under such
command that should a trout touch the hook unseen
below the water you can detect him on the instant.
This action is simpiy a tightening feel, as the trout is
generally previously booked from the natural resist-
ance of the floating line. If he is not felt to be hooked,
then it is necessary to pull full up, and make another
cast; but never let the first pull-in feeling for a trout
be so decidedly forcible as to be called a striker, for it
ought not to be done with a third part of the force
requisite to lift the line clear of the surface, as is nec-
essary when making another cast. Indeed, in cast-
ing generally, for either salmon or trout, the angler
should never snatch his line quickly from the water,
but give it a g-entle pull, and let the lifting it be a
second and brisker action, as a large trout, or some-
times a salmon, may be following the fly, and may
readily at that particular instant be just seizing it:
and, if you lift it with foolish force, the fish is struck
off from the gut in his mouth."

No man can cast "a gentle fly" unless he is born
with the "knack of it:" it can never be taught in its
perfection for stream use, but hundreds of anglers,
not to the manor born, have successfully landed the
beauties of the brook, and many thousands of accredited
fly-casters will, during the season, swarm the streams
of the counti y whose lessons in fly-casting should com-
mence with the rudiments of the art, but when the
trout are eager and the waters are rapid and high, the
most inexperienced of these tyros will catch trout on
the crudest of tackle But their lesson has just com-
menced, and it is well for them to know and be en-
couraged by the fact that if they will diligently study
the habits of the fish, the lay of their haunts, the
hours of feeding, etc., etc., they (the fishermen) may
develop into partial masters of the art, albeit their
forty feet of line may be bunglingly thrown and their
feathered lures beoftener in the tree branches than on
the water.

Fish Lines.

James Watts has been enjoying the fishing at Le-
moyne on the upper Sacramento.

An 18 pound salmon was caught this week by S. A.
Heller at Lemoyne on the upper Sacramento. The
fish was taken on a spoon.

On Tuesday next, July 1st, the open season for
striped bass will prevail. The outlook for a season of
plentiful sport is looked forward to most enthusiasti-
cally by a majority of the local anglers.

Reports from the Truckee are encouraging; the
fishing is evidently improving and will soon be at its
best. This week a box of fine trout, sent down from
Boca by Jeff Wells, was received by Dave Thorn.

Reports from Russian river, in the vicinity of Guerne-
ville, state that black bass are very plentiful iu the
river above the dam. The season for black bass will
open on Tuesday next, July 1st, and remain open until
January 1st.

Halibut are kept alive and fresh for the English
market, on the long- trip from the fishing grounds to
entry port, by tying the tails of two fi3h together and
suspending them iu the water. In many cases when
the fish are lauded the tails are almost severed.

playing the fish is found in the heavy sinker used,
anywhere from half a pound to sometimes two pour-da
of lead. This heavy drag on the fish and correspond-
ingly excessive strain on rod and tackle has a tendency
to make hard work of the fishing and cuts out gen-
erally all the sport of playing tho fish.

This unwelcome feature of salmon fishing can be
readily avoided by the use of a simple and effective
device in arranging the trolling tackle, so that when
a fisb seizes the bait or spoon a quick strike will have
the double effect of securely hooking the fish and also
of unloosing the lead, which then drops to the bottom,
leaving the line easier on the fish and allowing the
salmon to fight and go into all the antics it pleases
whilst endeavoring to get rid of hook and line.

The usual salmon trolling rig is arranged to have
the hook or spoon .attached to a barrel swivel at one
end of tho snell, which is usually about three or more
feet long; a swivel is also at the upper end. At this
end of the snell the swivel ring- is fixed to the sinker,
the other end of the sinker being attached to a third
swivel at the end of the line proper.

The device for dropping the sinker can be arranged
as follows: at the end of the snell attach to the swivel
a short piece of line, say seven or eight inches in
length, have the other end tied securely to the swivel
at the end of the line. In hanging the sinker on the
line, take a piece of lighter or at least much weaker
string or line than the trolling line itself, tie one end
to the line end swivel, pass the lighter line through
the eyes or rings of the sinker and tie up shod to the
end swivel ring of the snell. By so doing a biqkt is
caused in the trolling line. When a heavy strike is
made, this or the tugging of the fish will break the
short piece of line upon which the sinker is hung, the
latter immediately drops off and the aneler has the
line in shape for playing his fish properly and saves a
lot of wear and tear on his rod.

This device will work to a charm and is only to be
tried to have its benefits appreciated. The loss and
cost of lead sinkers is a mere peccadillo compared to
the other expenses and when the increased pleasures
of the fishing are taken into consideration.

Several local anglers have tried to get a day's sal-
mon fishing at Santa Cruz recently and they are not
very loud in their praises of the abilities or efforts of
the boatmen who cater to the wants of salt water ang-
lers at the resort mentioned. In most cases, instead
of fresh sardines being provided for bait, and properly
too, the boatmen insisted on the fishermen using salt
sardines which they provided. The sardines being
somewhat scarce on the Santa Cruz side at the time
referred to, the fishermen were seemingly either
indolent or too indifferent to procure supplies
of fresh bait. After trolling for awhile further
attempts at salmon fishing would be deprecated
and efforts made to have the anglers adjourn to the
reefs near the shore, where the boat could be anchored
and bottom fishing indulged in. This, of course,
would enable the boatmen to indulge in a few cigar-
ettes and a comfortable siesta. Most anglers who
fancy salmon fishing think this system is not worth
the charge of $5 a day for a boat and a plausible
boatman.

This indifference to the sportsmen's wants may
work all right with unsophisticated summer outing
visitors at Santa Cruz, but it will not give the resort the
reputation among the angling fraternity that the
salmon fishing to be found there entitles it to.

During the close season in June for striped bass, the
diversion has been, trips to San Leandro bay, where
the anglers found sport with stingrays and sharks.
These fish are hard customers when they are hooked;
it is like pulling against a truck horse to bring a big
shark or ray to boat or beach.

Some fine trout have been recently taken out of Mud
creek, which empties into Tomales bay near Camp
Pistolesi. Chas. Breidenstein and Bert Spring one
day last week caught a number of fish lfi and 20 inches
long, plump and in the finest condition The fisher-
men say the trout put up the gamiest kind of a fight.

Stockton striped bass fishermen have solved the
spoon problem foP fishing the San Joaquin and adja-
cent tributaries. The spoon in vogue with the up-
river sportsmen is in outline the shape of a small fish
cut out of heavy tin. A single hook is used, fastened
to the spoon near the tail end. The device works
satisfactorily it seems.

Salmon fishing in Monterey bay seems to be getting
somewhat better. Last Sunday Walter Burlingame
hooked a fish weighing over 30 pounds, James G.
Chesley and William Larsen were also out in boats
fishing, the party landed three other fish weighing
18, 12 and 9 pounds respectively.

The Monterey side of the bay is now full of immense
schools of sardines. At Capitola and Santa Cruz the
fish caught run smaller in weight, from three to five
and six pounds as a rule. The fishing there is reported
to be going better daily, although nothing remarkable
has yet been achieved. Herman Oelrichs indulges in
9 ilraoo fishing daily, starting out on the bay from the
beach near tho Hotel Del Monte.

The largest salmon caught in Monterey bay this
season turned the scales at 55 pounds.

The fish caught at Monterey at present are taken
four or five miles out, the anglers finding it necessary
to fish deep for the king of the water.

In fishing for salmon, particularly where the angler
finds it necessary to get his sardine baited hook or
spoon down to any depth, the bugbear to the sport of

It is not considered en regie to fish with more than a
single rod. although many experienced and conscien-
tious anglers use more than one. Two rods aro per-
haps permissible when still-fishing, particularly for
salt-water fish in a slight tideway, one with a sinker
attached to the line to feel the bottom, the other,
without sinker, adrift seventy-five to one hundred feet
on the tide and below the surface at different depths,
regulated by the length of line and flow of current.
This method has the advantage of finding the depth
at which the fish are feeding, which, once found, the
angler uses, as his judgment indicates, one or both
rods. Our practice is the use of a single rod, single
hook, single gut leader and no sinker, wherever the
fishing conditions permit, but we have many salt-water
angling friends who catch as many aDd often more
fish than we do, who believe in heavy tackle and tak-
ing "all the chances." They get as much fun out of
their method as we do from ours, and they cannot be
called "fish-hogs" either. The law of angling ethics

is an unwritten one.

Request Him to Resign.

Deputy Fish and Game Commissioner Potter of El
Dorado county should have his commission revoked.
If the story published in the Sacramento /.
is true, Mr. Potter betrayed an amount of ignorance
and lack of official backbone that is lamentable.

A negro and three white men were caught by Potter
last Sunday between Elk Grove and Frankline. They
had been ostensibly out rabbit hunting, when over-
hauled by the deputy (?) their game bags were found
to be filled with young doves. The men were "held
up for awhile and severely lectured for violating the
game law.'" "Mr. Potter was tempted to arrest the
men, but on reflection, he was in doubt as to his legal
right to exercise his official functions outside of his
own county.''

Mr. Potter did not reflect, he evidently was incap-
able of it. or he would have acted differently. The
simple outcome of the matter was, that he was incom-
petent to fulfill his duty as an officer when the occa-
sion required him to do so.

As a matter of fact, a violator of the law, when
caught in the act, can be arrested by any citizen.
Potter was commissioned by the State Board and
should have known that, if necessary, he could act as
a fish and game deputy anywhere in the State. We
would suggest to the Board of Fish Commissioners
that Mr. Potter's commission and badge be recalled
and given to a more capable man. The Board does
not need any more lecturers on the official staff,
"Dustproof Harry" fills the bill acceptably.

AT THE TRAPS.

The Union Gun Club will hold their second live bird
shoot at Ingleside to morrow. The shoot will com-
mence at 10 o'clock a. m. sharp! Three events are on
the card; other races will he arranged, time permit-
tin°- The first event will be a six-bird race, entrance
$2.S6, S5 added, high guns, three moneys. Event two,
twelve-bird race, entrance $5, S10 added, class shoot-
ing three monevs. Event three, $2.50 entrance, *o
added, hi<^h guns, three moneys. Birds will he in-
cluded in these events and charged for at the rate of
$3 per dozen. . .

The further announcement is made that an appetiz-
ing lunch for the shooters will be provided for by
Mons. Guilliame S. Wattles et Thomas L. Lewis.

To-morrow the Oak Park Club (Sacramento.) men
will hold their first tournament. All lovers of the
gun are invited to attend. The club members have
got some very nice prizes for their merchandise shoot,
and it will be worth every shooters' time, in that
vicinity, to compete for them. If a shooter does not
win a handsome prize he will go home contented, for
the sportsmen of the Oak Park Club will certainly
give all who attend a good time.

The Santa Rosa Gun Club will hold an open to all
shoot on July 6th.

Trap shooting is apparently having a boom through-
out the interior of the State. Many gun clubs have
recently heen organized. The sport seems to have
attracted the attention of many new shooters and bids
fair to maintain a renewed interest among sportsmen.

On the loth inst C. C. Nauman aod George Sylvester
shot off, at Ingleside, a tie for the A. M. Shields cup.
\auman won the cup, breaking 50 blue rocks straight.
The cup was then given back to the Union Gun Club
by Mr. Nauman and will be contested for again on
July 20th.

The Bisbee Gun Club will hold a tournament at Bis-
bee, Arizona, on July 5th. Eight events are listed on
the program. Class shooting will be the rule and
moneys divided into 40, 30. 20 and 10"„. Targets will
he 3 cents each and will be thrown from a maugatrap.

The Millwood Gun Club membsrs will gather at
Minzanita Station. Marin county, to-morrow. The
club monthly shoot will bj held, followed by a business
mietiag and banquet, so announces the Secretary,
Wm. Mersfelder.

The Capital City Gun Club regular blue rock shoot
was held at the Kimball & Upson grounds, Sacramento,
last Sunday. In the club match Judge Hughes broke
25 straight. This is the thirdstraight made by a club
member this season.

F. Ruhsteller, Jr., was high gun in the 100 bird race,
breaking 87, Weld on 81, Upson and Blair 72, Gusto 65,
Brown 61.

The Golden Gate Gun Club live bird shoot at Ingle-
side last Sunday had but a- slim attendance. The
weather conditions could ndti have been better tor a
shoot. In the club match at 15 pigeons, J. J. Sweeney
and W. E. Murdock killed straight and divided first
and second money. C. A. Haight with one bird dead
out and C. C. Nauman with one lost bird divided third
money. Following the club shoot a 15 bird pool race
was shot, Murdock, Sweeney and Nauman divided the
purse on straight scores. Mr. Achille Roos made a
straight score in this matchVshot for birds only and
was in fine form. The scores made were the following;

The first live bird shoot of the Santa Rosa Gun Club
was held Sunday afternoon at Recreation park after
the ball game. In the shoot between Mr. Murphy and
District Attorney Webber, the former secured fourteen
birds out of fifteen and the last fell dead outof bounds.
Mr. Webber secured eleven birds out of fifteen, and
had two others fall outside the boundary. This was
Mr. Webber's first shoot at live birds. A second
match at twelve birds each was between Messrs. Mc-
Cutchan and Lowry of Windsor and Mr. Weltz of
Santa Rosa. Mr. >IcCutchan killed eleven birds, Mr.
Lowry got twelve and Mr. Weltz nine. Mr. Lowry
only found it necessary to use his second barrel twice.
After the shoot the contestants were entertained at
dinner at the Occidental Hotel by Mr. Murphy. The
members of the gun club are elated over the tuccess
of their first shoot. — Santa Bom Republican.

Trap shooting is somewhat on the boom at Chico.
Thirty-two shooters faced the traps on the 15th inst. at
the shoot of the Chico Gun Club. The big event of
the day was the team shoot, every shooter on the
ground being chosen by either Captain Johnson, of
the Easterns, or Captain Barham, of the Westerns.
The Captains had a rifle boxed in a manner to indicate
that it was a big gun, to be presented on conditions
sealed and to be opened after the contest. After the
match the conditions were read — "To be presented to
one of the three lowest on each side, the winner to be
determined by a contest, miss and out."

In the team shoot thirty two men lined up, each
man to shoot at 15 birds. The Easterns won by 30
birds, the scores of the individual shooters being as
follows: Johnson 13, Richards 14, Loshbough 10,
Brooks 12, Miller 9, Stauffer 12, Simms 7, Waddams
12, Kerr 6, H. D. White 13, Sweeney 2, E. B. Collins
11, Gunby 10, Hamilton 5, B. Collins 10, Rice 10.

The Westerns' scores were: Barham 13, Thomasson
15, Simpson 8. Goodspeed 9, Nichols 5. Stansbury 9.
McLennan 7, Boyd 8, Faulkner 7, W. White 8. Mc-
Eldowney 7, Demarais fi, H. Thomasson 8, Peck 7.
Day 11, Salisbury 8.

Kerr, Sweeney, Hamilton, Nichols, Day and De-
marais shot for the rifle. Kerr broke two birds and
won, Nichols being the only other shooter to kill the
first bird. The regular shooters at the traps made
fairly good scores during the day. Those shooting at
100 each broke as follows: Johnson 91. Thomasson 89,
Brooks 79, Miller 66, Barham 88, Richards 87, Stauffer
and Loshbough, who shot at 90 each, broke 70 and 67
respectively, and H. D. White broke 68 out of 97.

At the regular medal shoot at 20 birds, the scores
were: Johnson 17, Miller 16, Loshbough 14, Richards
19, Thomasson 17, Brooks 18, Barham 20.

The California Inanimate Target Association is to
all intents and purposes an institution of the past. At
a meeting of such representative officers and club
delegates as could be convened on the 23d inst., the
sentiment of those present was for disorganization,
because under the existing state of affairs it would be
impossible to carry out any proposed measures or
transact any business whatsoever as the then status
of the organization was such, by reason of the dis-
bandment of several clubs, that under the governing
constitution and by-laws nothing could be done by
the Board of Governors in accordance therewith.
This contretemps could have been avoided had there
been a meeting last year any time previous to the
withdrawal of several clubs and their representatives
when the proper amendments, etc., to the by-laws,
&c., could have been adopted.

After the affairs of the old association were wound
up, the preliminary formation was made of a new
organization, based on similar lines, but further reach-
ing in its scope. The new association was called the
Pacific Coast Trap Shooting Association. Temporary
organization was effected with Dr. W. S. George, of
Antioch, President; pro tern, T. L. Lewis, Vice-Presi-
dent; W. J. Street, Secretary. These gentlemen,
together with A. M. Shields, were constituted a com-
mittee to draft a constitution and by-laws and formu-
late rules. The next meeting will be held at the call
ofthis Committee.

It is the intention of the organizers to have an in-
dividual membership of shooters, instead of a club
representation. Membership in the new association
will be open to all sportsmen of the Coast.

The idea is a good one and should be fostered.
There are at present several separate Coast organiza-
tions in existence; the interests of Coast shooters and a
mutual advantage will be enhanced under the banners
of a general and comprehensive organization, the sue-
cessful operation of which we hope to chronicle later on.

Those present at the meeting were: Dr. W. S.
George, President; J. B. Hauer, T. L. Lewis, Vice-
Presidents: W. J. Street, Secretary-Treasurer; Jos. J.
Sweeney (proxy), J. Peltier (proxy V M. J. Iverson, J.
Gordon and G. Herring.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

Lady. Woodlawn Kennels' Boston Terrier, received
from George Bell, of Toronto, is heavy in whelp to
George S. Thomas' Endcliffe Premier.

We would like to hear from owners desiring to dis-
pose of two English Setter puppies, a dog and a bitch,
different breedings; a Cocker Spaniel dog a year old,
and house broken; a Gordon Setter dog puppy, state
age and breeding.

Thi Dog, a new aspirant for a position in the arena
lighted by the rays of the dog star, is on our desk.
Its typographical make-up is neat and inviting, the
illustrations are good and clean cut. The new journal
is issued as an illustrated fortnightly.

Grand Master II was purchased this week from Mrs.
W. J. Spotteswoode by Mr. J. H. Dorian and is now
duly installed in Nairod Kennels. We have rarely
seen a St. Bernard change so much for the better,
Grand Master II is now in most splendid shape, his
coat could not be beaten, he has filled out and devel-
oped grandly, has a good body, strong and shapely
frout legs and good hindquarters and straight hind-
legs, and carries himself like a big, sound dog should,
but so often does not, do. He is remarkably good in
head and expression and if in the same condition at
the next show will give the best of them the closest
kind 0,' a run, if not a drubbing. He is by Ch. Grand
Master out of Bonnie Doon, a bitch owned by Mr.
Dorian.

Two new species of dogs have recently been received
in the Zoological Garden in Dresden, viz.: a Siamese
dog and .a Brazilian Deerhound. The former bears
much resemblance to the Australian dingo. The
head is short, thick, and flat at the top, sloping down
to the point of the nose. Eyes brown, pointed ears
bent forward, and short neck. Color dark brown,
differing in this respect from the dingo, which is yel-
lowish red. The breast is low and broad, back short
and straight. The tail is short, strong, busby and
erect. Hair straight and short. The Deerhound
from Brazil is a handsome animal, of somewhat wolf-
like appearance.

A letter from Hollister informs us that the Pointer
bitch Fay whelped last week three dogs and three
bitches, all nicely marked, to Bruce S. — he by Donntr
out of Sally L. Two previous litters, thirteen puppies
(8 dogs) by Fay are all coming on finely. Of the first
litter Otto Feudner now owns Philosopher, who is in
the hands of John Lucas; he will be entered in the
next Pacific Coast Derby. Remy Fredericks owns
another dog puppy, now being trained bv John Kohrn.
F. W. McClellan, of Belmont, and Fred S. Johnson
each own a young dog from the same litter, both now
broken to field work. Hip Justins has a bitch (broken
to gun) who recently whelped two puppies. Of the
second litter, W. S. Damon has a bitch puppy six
months old; James P Sweeney, of this city, and H.
W. Davis, of Auburn, both have dogs: the remaining
dog puppy is owned in Hollister. A likely bitch puppy,
partially broken, is now in this city and will be kept
and trained by her owner.

Gabilan Kennels' Fairland Pet is coming on nicely
and is expected to whelp next week. She resembles
Buckwa in type, color and markings. Lady, another
English Setter bitch, is in whelp to Count Danstone.

There are few owners, among the large and ever in-
creasing numbers of ladies who possess famous and
interesting kennels, says the Illustrated Kennel Neuis,
who have done so much towards extending the bound-
aries of popularity as has the Hod. Mrs. McLaren
Morrison. By popularity is understood the two forms
of success— recognition by the Kennel Club and appre-
ciation by lady owners, and as the greater contains the
less the appreciation ought to take precedence uf the
K. C. recognition. Mrs. McLaren Morrison has opened
the eyes of a myopic multitude to the charms of many
rare and interesting breeds; it is her ambition to bring
forward and make known those that might otherwise
peek and pine in the seclusion and insignificance that
absence from K. C. classification necessarily impiies;
and she has succeeded admirably in her role of canine
Columbus. Through her efforts, united with those of
Mr. Alan Francis, the Lhassa Terrier has come to
stay; the lovely Thibet Spaniel is winning its way
slowly, but, with the weight of her influence, surely;
the Iceland dogs have found admiration and justice,
for they are quick, sagacious, affectionate and hardy;
and now the Samoyede sledge dogs are passing through
a period of probation that should also result m success.
Samoyede dogs are full of individuality, as is always
the case when a breed is of practical utility to its
owner, and its faculties are, therefore, cultivated.
They are full of intelligence and sense, and make capi
tal pets, for they are very clever and very affectionate.

The Samoyede dogs are considered the "sacred dogs
of Archangel," as each bears a white mark on its
breast, which the natives liken to the form of a cross.
They are most loving and faithful dogs and soon win
their way into the affection of their owners.

An interesting item of news in connection with the
L. K. A. Coronation Show in June is that the first
separate class ever arranged for Samoyedes will be
provided, and possibly even two classes may be forth-
coming, which enterprise the owners of these dogs
may feel justified in attributing to the warm interests
of Mrs. McLaren Morrison.

Jackson's Napa Soda is sold in every city, town and
hamlet in the State.

THE FARM.

Pastures for the Pigs.

<&&>

When Brood Sows Should Be Sold.

The pasture for the swine of all ages is
a very important matter in growing hogs.
There is no time in the life of the hog that |
a nice, well kept pasture is not a valuable |
adjunct to the industry, says the Nebraska
Fanner. It is especially valuable to the
little growing pig to the breeding sow and
to the shoat that is merging into hoghood.
In fact, there is no condition of swine
growth, from the suckling pig to the ma-
ture fat hog, for which a pasture is not
serviceable.

The hog pasture must be more than an
open lot or field, barreu of nutritious
grasses. Many hog pastures are little
more than exercise lot?. They have no
pasture grasses growing on them, some
never had, others have been pastured so
close by overstocking that they have
ceased to be pastures. The grass has given
way to weeds and they are devoid of the
real advantages that swine should receive
from pastures.

It is not necessary to fence off large
tracts at great expense and call them hog
pastures. A hog pasture cannot be made
from native grasses. It requires a tame
grass pasture for swine, either alfalfa or
red clover. Other grasses are sometimes
used and may be used to advantage if
made into a solid, permanent pasture.

The cheapest, quickest and best hog
pasture is the alfalfa. It is a rank grower
and keeps ahead of the hogs, this is an
important feature, to have a pasture that
is a full supply for the herd of swine. In
pasturing hogs, it is best to have small
inclosures and arranged so the herd can
rotate in grazing, taking one pasture one
week, another the next and so on, thus
keeping on practically fresh grass all the
time. A few acres can be made to pasture
a large number of hogs when confined to
suitable lot?.

The hog pasture ia an auxiliary to the
feed lot. It should not be made to take
the place of the feed lot or the corn crib .
The hog raiser who makes a success of hog
raising and hog feeding will use the pas-
ture to help in the growth and health of
his hoga. A large hog lot with adjoining
pastures ia a convenience that the hog
raiser should provide on the farm. The
hogs can thus be let onto the pastures at
will and shut off to suit the demands.

The pasture ia almost as important as
the feed lot. If you have not the alfalfa
hog pasture you should lose no time in
starting one. Some sow rape for the hogs
to pasture on, others sow rye, while some
sow Borghum. Any green crop is better
than a dry lot. Swine of all ages should
be supplied with a liberal allowance of
green feed and the more permanent this
supply can be made the cheaper it will be
and the less liability to neglect in this
important feature of hog feed.

Many farmers and breeders, thinking
their brood sows too old for longer service,
market them when they are just in their
prime. The age of brood bows has much
to do with their value as workers. They
should be retained as breeders as long as
they breed regularly and produce good
litters. When a sow, three or four years
of age. fails in this respect, the trouble
may be traced to underfeeding too much
of the time, breeding when too thin in
rlesh and keeping her in that condition
while in farrow- Too oiten this half-
starved condition causes the sow to become
unruly and hard to keep in an enclosure
and Bhe is apt to eat whatever is within
her reach, whether or not it ia the kind of
feed she should have, says the Prairie
Farmer.

Oftentimes a sow when inclined to break
through her inclosure can be restrained
by ringing. In the meantime and before
the sow has to use her nose again the
weak places in the fence should be
strengthened. A rail fence, lightin weight
and easily broken, is not of much uee in
re8training a hungry sow.

Many farmers accept it as a fact that
the moment a three year old brood sow
becomea unruly she must be disposed of.

When from two to six years old a brood
sow should be a regular worker. If her
strength and vigor seem to break during
these four years of work do not cast her
aside, but give her a short period of rest.
This rest ia more profitable for the owner
than to send the sow to market and put a
young untried one in her place. Con-
tinued grain feeding, especially corn, in
too great quantities, quickly lessens the
sow'a uaefulness. Eating the hard corn
wears out the teeth before the other parts
of the body show aigns of weakness.

One sure sign of old age and diminish-
ing value is too many runts in a litter.
When one or more runts appear in a litter
of ten or more pigs, the farmer, as a rule,
does not place this against the sow. But
if at each succeeding farrowing the num-
ber of runts increases, then he is justified
in sending the sow to market and selecting
another to fill her place. Occasionally a
sow can be bred till she ia nine or ten
years, and sometimes longer. The idea
that a sow is no longer useful after she
becomes three or four years old should be
done away with and the sow used as long
as she is valuable as a pig-producer.

The Gas Engine* s Answer.

You ask if I have a trade? I certainly
have. When I am on the farm I saw
wood, grind feed, shell corn, churn but
ter, pump water, etc., and when in town
I run printing presses, ice cream freezers,
ventilating fans, dynamos, elevators,
coffee mills, and have many oi-her jobs.
Now I want a place and am willing to
work cheap. I am a self-contained gas-
oline engine, ard not confined to any one
place. If it is not convenient for you to
bring your work to me, I can go with
you and put in as long a day's work as
you wish me to. Write for prices and

Certain chemicals of a disinfectant
nature are sometimes put into milk foi
the purpose of destroying germ life.
Salicylic acid, boracic acid, borax, forma-
lin and carbonate of soda are the principal
reagents used in this way. Their effect
on the germs is not as marked as is sup-
posed. As they can be added only in
small quantities without detection but
little is used ; not enough to destroy the
bacteria but simply to check their growth*
Although these substances are not re-
garded as poisons they may have an in-
jurious effect on the Bystem when taken
continuously in milk in small dosea. A
French commission, appointed to investi-
gate the effect of such use of salicylic acid
on the public health, reported that the
addition of it or its derivatives to food,
even in the most minute quantities, should
not be permitted. Formaldehyde has an
adverse effect on the digestibility of casein.
It ia believed in general, as these agents
are successful in preventing natural fer-
mentations, they will retard digestion in
about the same proportions. The danger
of preservatives is increased by the fact
that they are used by ienorant persons
who think that if a little is good more is
better and therefore uBe them in excees.
Another objection ia that one accustomed
to use preservatives may depend upon
them as a substitute for cleanliness.

Shorthorna seem to keep penetrating
farther and farther into the wilds where
they have heretofore been unknown.
English statistics show that a number of
breeders in one town in Meswick-Holstein
paid 450 guineas for the bull Victor at the
Riby Grove sale last summer, and a simi-
lar company paid 165 guineas for anothei
Shorthorn bull at Lord Brougham's sale.
Two bulls of this breed were sent t<
Japan, and oi'.e lone youngster was expa-
triated to Siam. Some very choice female?
were sent to Australia from English ports
and some score and a half good bulls to
iNew Zealand. South Africa took about
twenty-five Shorthorn bulls from British
breeders, and a larger number were billed
to Russia, some having as their destina-
tions pointB far in the interior of Siberia.

[June 2k, 1902

A short time ago a rumor went forth
that in view of the declaration of peace in
South Africa the British had Btopped the
purchase of army mules in this country.
This rumor was created by the sending
out from St. Joseph, Missouri, of a press
dispatch saying that telegraphic instruc-
tions had been received there ordering
British agents to stop purchasing horses
and mules. Inquiry develops that no such
instructions have been received. More
horses are needed now that the extreme
uselessness of foot soldiers has been fully
proved and it is no more than fair to pre-
sume that from this time forward tha
United States will always sell more or
less of these horses to the European
powers.

In several parts of the old world and in
Australia the dairymen are working with
a milking machine that is called a pulsa-
tor. This machine reproduces on the teat
of the cow the alternating pressure that
the calf uses in sucking and the human
milker in milking. Reports are received
from New Zealand of many dairymen hav-
ing to reduce their herds on account of
inability to get milkers to do that kind of
work. Others again have dropped dairy-
ing for the same reason and have gone into
stock-raising or grain-growing. Certainly
the introduction of any machine that
would really do the work of milkers would
enormously increase the outpat of dairy
products. The farm hand would receive
it with joy, for he milks only because he
is obliged to do so in order to hold his job.

PEDIGREE IN PART.

OIRED BY SIDNEY 2:193i, sire or 17 in the 2:15 list, 7 better than 2:12, 3 better than 2:10. and Lenna
'- X. 2:06& (champion record), and 96 in the charmed circle. Battie dam of Monterey, is by that
great sire of broodmares. Com. Belmont 4340, son of Alexander Belmont 64, sire of Nutwood 2:18?^-
Barona. his second dam. is by Woodford's Mambrino 2:21 !£. and his third dam. Miss Gratz, by Alex-
ander Norman 25. sire of Lula 2:15; fourth dam by Gray Eagle, thoroughbred. His blood lines are of
the choicest, and his wonderful speed has justly come to him. He is a grand stallion to look at; he
has s*ze and conformation to make him what he is— a king among stallions. His first crop of foals,
two years old now, are very promising, as Walters. Maben writes me as follows:

" I worked the Monterey two-year old to-day, March 26th. a half in 1:16, first quarter in 0:40$$, last
eighth in 17 seconds, so you see he can step some and has but little work. He can trot faster than ;
any colt I ever saw and do it easier. Walter S. Maben,1' j

Maben also writes that the Monterey colts are all fine, big, good-looking colts, and look to him |
(Maben) to be the real thing for stake winners. It will not be long before the breeders will be breed- >
ing to Monterey at a much larger fee than his present price One thing is sure, it is hard for a stal- 1
lion to work himself up without the support of the breeders, and yet I don't think that the cranks i
can keep him down, for if he reproduces himself the foals will be of such high class that the public ;
eaunot overlook them Nowadays colts must be game to win big purses, and on this score I am on '
top, and speed also. Monterey will make this season, 1902,
